Time Text
Hiya folks, welcome back.
It's Rush Limboy here behind the Golden EIB microphone on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday!
One of our most exciting, anticipated days of the week, ladies and gentlemen.
Open Line Friday, where we relax our stringent rules born of my benevolent dictatorship-ness.
Monday through Thursday, we only discuss things I care about because passion's the name of the game, and I don't want to sound bored because then you will be bored.
But on Friday, I take that risk.
A huge career risk.
Most highly trained broadcast specialists are not that highly trained to be able to turn over to lovable but rank amateurs the all-important content of the program.
And that's exactly what happens when we go to the phones on Friday.
You can talk about anything.
Question, comment, you can whine, you can moan, you can complain.
800-282-2882 is the number if you want to appear on the program.
And the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
Well, here's a shock.
In another case of researchers reporting the obvious, European scientists have found that children are smarter than chimpanzees.
Sometimes I don't know about this, folks.
Let's read this and find out.
That's exactly what age we're talking about.
A unique study.
Pardon the sniffles again.
I think I've turned a corner on this, though, by the way.
A unique study comparing the abilities of human...
How have I done today on the self-absorption?
It's been really, really good.
I haven't.
One gets that.
One call dragged me into self-absorption.
Other than that, I have been excellent.
At any rate, a unique study comparing the abilities of human crumb crunchers to chimpanzees and orangutans found that two-year-old children have social learning skills superior to the apes.
I still have my doubts.
In one social learning test, a researcher showed that the crumb crunchers and the apes how to pop open a plastic tube to get food or a toy contained inside.
The children observed and imitated the solution.
The chimpanzees, the orangutans, however, tried to smash, tried to smash open the tube or yank the contents out with their teeth.
And then after that, when that didn't work, when they couldn't get to what was inside, they threw crap at the researchers, which is, no, there was the children that did that.
It was the children that did that.
European scientists gave a battery of cognitive tests.
Still can't laugh without coughing spasms.
European scientists gave a battery of cognitive tests lasting three to five hours separately to 105 two-year-old crumb crunchers, 106 chimpanzees, 32 orangutans over two weeks.
Using these multiple tests.
I love these research products.
Who conceives these things?
Everybody knows that a chimpanzee is smarter than a two-year-old.
Using these multiple tests allows us to pinpoint where the similarities, what are the differences, said researcher Joseph Kahl of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
Well, we're back to this crowd, the Max Planck bunch.
What they're trying to do, they want to establish, see, that the apes are smarter than our kids.
The shoe that we came from them.
Researchers believe that their findings provide insight into the evolution of human cognition.
People's brains are three times larger than those of the closest primate relative.
How the hell did that happen?
You know, one thing I've never understood about evolution, and I function, I'm just an average ordinary American guy on this stuff.
But I hear all this talk about evolution.
We came from the slime, the primordial slime, the goop.
We were swimming around in there with all the other vermin, and for some reason, we emerged on two feet.
But it wasn't us, it was a bunch of King Kong types.
And they're walking around cherry-picking all the fruit from the trees and so forth.
And all of a sudden, from King Kong or from Mr. the gorilla, people like you and me are born.
How does this happen if there are still King Kongs out there?
If we evolved from the chimps, why are the chimps still there?
Why are they just, why aren't they gone?
Why didn't they evolve away?
And how did our brains get three times bigger?
I mean, this stuff, this, I just, I'm not denying that there is evolution.
I mean, it can't be denied, but as a form of the creation of species, I'm just accounting me as one of the dubious.
You know, I get this headline here.
Teacher admits she had sex with five students.
This is from Lawrence County, South Carolina.
Excuse me a minute.
Former Lawrence County teacher pleaded guilty yesterday to having sex with at least five students.
Alana Williams Ward, 23, seventh grade language arts teacher at the Bell Middle School, said she had sex with several students in cars, parks, a hotel, even at the scruple.
She pleaded guilty to six charges yesterday.
Three second-degree criminal sexual conduct with the minor, three lewd acts on a minor.
Family members and her lawyers accompanied her as she made an emotional statement to the court.
She said, Today, I publicly admit my guilt and I would like to apologize.
I sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions.
Now, the cops said that this woman had sex with at least five boys, three 14-year-olds, two 15-year-olds.
The students were at Bell Middle Schruel and another school that was not named.
You know, there must be a new case of this every day out there.
This is just, I mean, we, and it's these female teachers.
These female teachers are the predators.
And we don't hear about too many male teachers.
I mean, you hear some of it, but most of these teachers we hear about are female.
And it's disgusting.
And it's more, it is totally, oh, snardly, get off.
And that's totally, we can make jokes about, gee, where was this when we were kids?
And I've done that.
But I mean, five cases here of abuse.
This is more evidence of the total failure of the public education system.
And I'm going to tell you, you know, if these teachers were men, there would be hell popping out there.
All kinds of hell would be popping up.
Female teachers, it's happening, but there's not nearly the emotional outrage.
By the way, U.S. force levels in Iraq have grown to an all-time high.
I just love this.
Right in the middle of Democrats trying to bring about just the opposite.
168,000 troops.
This from a senior Pentagon official yesterday as the U.S. administration gears up to defend its surge strategy before Congress.
Have any of you, since we last spoke the first hour, have you had a chance to take a look?
Have you seen these side-by-side pictures of bin Laden from 2004 and 2007?
I just, you know, we played the audio soundbites last hour.
The drive-bys is having their multiple orgasms.
He's back.
All right.
He hates Bush.
We hate Bush.
And bin Laden being back proves that Bush is a failure.
We shouldn't be in Iraq.
We should be hunting him down.
Just fits their narrative.
It just fits the template.
They're not even questioning whether this is legit.
Of course, the U.S. government, but I know you're saying, but Rush, but Rush, the U.S. government says it's legit.
All right.
Well, what else are they going to say?
We're not going to martyr the guy.
And if we can't prove that he's dead, if we don't have any evidence, and just it's just easier all the way around here.
If they came out and said bin Laden's dead, then the Democrats, you prove it.
The last thing Democrats wants for Bin Laden to be dead.
And if we ended up with killing Bin Laden with proof, the Democrats would lose a whole nother argument.
I've just seen some people saying, speculating today that Bin Laden resurfacing now helps Republicans.
How does it help anybody now?
There's not an election for another year.
And when Bin Laden came out and endorsed John Kerry, well, that's a different matter.
You know, like a week before the election, came out with his Democrat talking points.
And I still think that was a Karl Rove creation.
I think that was done on a computer.
Well, I'm not joking about it being a Karl Rove production, but the Democrats believe that it was at the time.
Steve Jobs really, really, really must have gotten hell yesterday from loyal early adopters of the Apple iPhone because he's reversed course.
Everybody who bought one of the early iPhones is going to get a $100 credit, the Apple store, not $100 cash, a $100 credit, even though the price was cut $200.
They cut the price on the 8 gig iPhone or eliminating the 4 gig iPhone.
They cut the price on it $200, it's 33% in 67 days, just a little over two months.
And Steve Jobs' first reaction was, get used to it.
This is the way technology is.
I, of course, echoed that sentiment yesterday.
Now, my feet have been cut out from under me by Mr. Jobs himself by ordering these $100 rebates.
I bought 40 of the iPhones to give away to friends and people of staff members here.
That means I've got $400 in credits coming, but I don't know how to do it.
And I'm not going to go four grand.
That's what I got $4,000 in credits coming in the Apple store.
No, I'm not.
So I'm going to buy some more iPhones.
I may go out and buy one of those iPhones.
You know the real reason the price was cut?
The iPod Touch.
Have you seen the new release of the iPod Touch is a dead ringer for an iPhone.
A little smaller.
It's a dead ringer for an iPhone.
It's got everything in it but a phone.
And you can't text message.
You can't get phone calls.
But it's an iPod.
It's got internet, the Safari browser on it.
You can use Safari to, if you have an email web client like Gmail or Yahoo, you can use it that way.
And it's like 300 bucks.
He had to bring the price of the iPhone closer to that or he would cannibalize the iPhone.
That's why the price came down.
No question.
And there's no question that the price was high at the outset because they knew they've got a cult following of people that would pay it.
So what the hell?
What the hell?
They have proven they can't drive the cult following away.
Believe me, they've tried.
They've done some pretty dumb stuff over there, but the cult following hangs in there with Apple.
So I don't blame Jobs at all.
And he's responded to this, but it's the iPod Touch.
It's got Wi-Fi in it.
Download songs from the iTunes store on the go.
Sitting there at Starbucks or wherever there's a Wi-Fi network, log on to the iTunes store, download songs, buy them without having to connect to your computer.
Anyway, that's why the price came down.
Quick timeout here, folks.
Sit tight.
We'll be back and get much more right after this.
I just love it, ladies and gentlemen, when losers declare us losers.
And so it has happened again.
U.S. Senator John Kerry, who served in Vietnam's, whoa, there's a story on Norman Shu on television.
I can't believe they've gotten around to it.
They've been focusing on Oprah and the Obama fundraiser and the Obama-Osama tape.
I just saw a story on, I got actually somebody out there on the scene.
Fox sent somebody out there on the scene in Colorado to talk about what happened to Norman Shu.
It's amazing.
First report on Norman Shu I have seen today.
You know these things, it happens every day.
Clinton fundraisers end up on the lamb being escorted off Amtrak trains in Colorado on a stretcher.
Happens all the time, so it's not big news, I suppose.
What do you bet that train was headed to the Minneapolis airport?
John Kerry, who served at Vietnam, former Democrat, a former member of the whatever he is, said that a new report on Iraqi security forces shows that the Bush administration's Iraq policy is failing.
Exactly what we need.
Proclamations of defeat from losers.
Okay, folks, let me get for me on a Friday serious here for a moment.
I've had conversations in recent days, weeks with liberals.
And every time I mention this to you, why are you hanging around them?
Well, you can't avoid them, and I'm not afraid of them.
And son, I like engaging them sometimes.
Because these people, many of them are just following a script.
They don't think they've got their template, their narrative, and life is very compartmentalized.
And if something doesn't fit the little cocoon that they've woven for themselves to live in, if you can penetrate that cocoon, you can blow them up.
You can cause them all kinds of problems.
Their mind starts working.
And I was talking to a couple people this week, and they said, couldn't get off of Iraq.
Iraq makes us a horrible country.
We've lost our reputation in the world.
We're losing in Iraq.
There was no reason to go there.
Saddam didn't have a threat to us, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm listening to it, and all of the attempts that I made to try to explain strategically why after 9-11 we had a preemptive policy.
We had weapons of mass destruction.
Every Intel agency in the world said Saddam's got these things.
He had been fudging the UN.
I tried all that.
It didn't permeate.
So I asked him a question.
I said, have you all ever stopped and asked yourself, because you guys, you're so mad at this country.
You think the world hates this country.
And you think this country is so corrupt.
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself this question?
Why?
How?
In less than 250 years, has the American population built the most prosperous, the most powerful, the most advanced civilization ever?
The Europeans have been around thousands of years longer than we have.
The Asians, much longer than that, yet we run rings around every one of them and everybody else too.
That's not even close.
It's not a contest.
In any way that you want to measure.
So how can it be, I asked them, that less than 300 million Americans can rule the world as it had never been ruled before in less than 250 years of existence.
Have you ever really stopped to ask yourself this question?
And I got answers I got back, well, there's no question that this is the greatest country in the planet, but invading other countries is not the way to lead the world.
I said, get Iraq out of your mind.
I'm talking about something much larger here that I want you to think about.
I'm asking you why this has happened, how it has happened.
I want your opinion on how it's happened.
Forget Iraq.
It's not about that.
This is crucial.
The answer to this question is crucial to understanding the United States, to understanding the rest of the world, and how to make it all better.
Can you get Iraq out of your mind?
These people are so obsessed with Iraq that they are embarrassed to be Americans.
They think that the world hates us, which is not true.
They buy totally in to the media and Democrat Party drive-by template.
I kept on, look, I'm not arguing with you.
Put Iraq at this.
I'm asking for your opinion.
I want you to think about something.
I'm not trying to be confrontational.
They think everything's confrontational.
Iraq is totally irrelevant to the question.
Much larger conceptual approach here.
So I stated it again.
I said, the rest of the world, all of it has been around for crying in terms of nation states thousands of years, much longer than we have.
United States is less than 300 years.
It took me five times.
United States is less than 300 years old.
No population of people in any country has ever approached our economic prosperity and wealth, our power.
No nation in the history of civilization has so dominated the world for good.
As the United States of America, we have liberated over 100 million people from bondage and slavery.
We feed the world.
We clothe the world.
We provide disaster relief in all circumstances to friend and foe alike.
We're the only nation on earth that can.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself how in human history this came about?
What makes this possible?
And how in the, I'm just giving you facts.
How can you hate your country?
How can you sit there and be embarrassed of your country over something like Iraq when you don't even understand what that is really all about?
But throw it out of the equation.
How can your love for your country be so fragile?
How in your personal life can you run around and not care what people think?
And yet when it comes to the United States of America, you get all upset if you think a bunch of reprobates hate our country.
Some people should hate us.
We pose a threat to them because of our goodness and because of our ideals.
Some people should hate us.
A lot of people are just jealous of us because we are what we are and they've had all these years and decades and centuries and millennia and they haven't been able to pull it off.
Why do you let yourself end up hating your own country so much because of something like Iraq, which leads you to think that people around the world hate us when none of this is actually true?
This obviously continued, which I will continue with it in a moment.
Hi, it's Open Line Friday, and we'll get back to your phone calls here in just a moment.
As you know, we took a break here in the midst of my explaining to you an attempt to break through the protective shell, the cocoon in which many liberals live, in which anything that contradicts their worldview simply doesn't enter.
I kept trying to pound through that cocoon, and I finally made it.
I kept asking, what is it?
How do you explain?
In less than 250 years, a population of less than 300 million people ruling the world like it's never been ruled before.
And I mean for good.
Economic prosperity.
How do you explain this with other civilizations having been around thousands of years?
How has this happened?
And as I told you, couldn't get past Iraq.
Well, I don't care about Iraq, but it's no way to lead the world.
I agree you're in a great country, but we're embarrassing ourselves.
I said, no, no, no, forget it.
Forget it.
Forget Iraq.
Forget it.
Please forget Iraq.
Talking about something larger.
I said, I know you love the country.
Don't think it's a confrontation.
I want to find out how you think.
I want to know what you think about.
So I finally got an answer.
And the answer was, well, I think we were founded on principles that are based on freedom and enlightenment, for one thing.
And I said, hot damn progress.
I was stunned.
I did not think.
You know what?
I thought we were going to, if we started talking about the founding, I thought I'd start getting stories about how our founders are a bunch of racists, slave owners, atheists and agnostics, and so forth.
I thought I'd get the usual PC multicultural tripe that is being taught out there now, but I did not.
And then the liberals I was talking to said, well, but the principles of this country are greater than the men that wrote them down.
Okay, we're getting close now to what I originally thought.
So I was getting a little bit depressed now.
I got an answer that was fairly close to being accurate, but then the answer had to be qualified by saying that the people who wrote the principles down, yeah, not that big a deal.
So I said, really, it's interesting that you say that.
I said, you know what happened in Philadelphia in 1776 was a miracle.
Divine inspiration had to have been there.
The principles may be bigger than the men who wrote them down, but they did write them.
And they were not racists.
And they were not bigots.
Whatever else the PC crowd teaches today.
And I then further pointed out, and this one I started taking giant strides.
I said, our founding principles, which you just proclaimed great, were not liberal as defined by today's liberalism.
Today's liberals are not tolerant.
They are not interested in freedom.
They do not believe in God.
They want God out of as much of our culture as possible.
Well, God wasn't part of the founding of this country.
And I just got to start getting a knee-jerk reaction.
I said, really, have you read the Declaration of Independence?
One nation under God, his Creator.
I'm giving the Pledge of Allegiance.
Clearly, the founders of this country believed in God and believed that we were all created and that we were all created equal.
Certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, the pursuit to happiness.
Life, liberty, pursuit to have these words mean things.
You say that the principles are bigger than the people that wrote them down, but it took people to write them down.
Where did they get the inspiration?
Where'd they get the intelligence?
They were great people that put this country together.
A country that stood the test of time like no other country in the history of civilization.
Today's liberals are none of the founding fathers.
Today's liberals are not capitalists as constituted today.
They are socialists.
Say, well, I agree with you about some of this stuff.
Well, you should agree with me about all of it because I'm right.
And the future of our country depends on maintaining the institutions and traditions that built this country.
And in order to preserve these traditions and institutions, we've got to understand their origin.
We must admit and be honest about what they are.
Today's liberals do, and they are trying to tear them down.
Today's liberals want to tear down these traditions and institutions and remake the country in their own image.
Iraq is not a factor in the demise of our country.
If there is to be a demise of our country, it is because we will lose control of maintaining the traditions and institutions that made this a great country, a great culture, a great society, a great population.
Iraq has nothing to do with this.
It's all happening from within.
Iraq's ancillary in the sense that it's being used to try to convince as many Americans that the country is not worth preserving as we've known it.
So the liberals that I was talking to started talking about Republicans and Democrats.
Would you forget Republicans and Democrats per second?
Who said anything about Republicans and Democrats?
You people have got to stop acting knee-jerk.
You've got to start listening to what I'm saying and reacting to that.
I'm talking about conservatives, liberals.
I'm talking about traditionalists versus secularists.
I'm talking about people who hate the way America is today versus people who love it and want to preserve it.
It's you've got to get out of your head the idea that I am attacking you.
You know, I told them we all have the same wish.
We all have the same desire, all us liberals, all us conservatives.
We want to preserve the country.
I mean, we want America to remain America.
And we want to leave it for our descendants as we inherited it from our forebears.
Our arguments are about how to do it.
And in the argument phase here, we actually learn that perhaps we don't want the same thing in terms of preserving the traditions and institutions because today's liberals and socialists do want to tear them down.
And they have been imbued with guilt over prosperity.
It's not fair we have so much.
It's not fair because how we haven't done it through any greatness of our own, Mr. Limbaugh.
We've stolen it.
We've stolen all the oil from these countries around the world.
We've stolen their diamonds.
We've stolen this.
And then we waste all of the what we are.
And this is what they've been taught.
I said, no, you've got it totally backwards.
The problem with the world is not America.
The problem with the world is the lack of equal distribution of capitalism.
And it's just that simple.
What it is that makes this country unique from any other set of population centers, countries, nations, whatever you want to call them, is two things.
A, our founding documents and what's in the founding documents.
The documentated or documented recognition that we are all created by God and that we all have certain inalienable rights.
That means it's part of our yearning spirit.
It's part of our creation.
That is liberty, a yearning to be free.
We don't want to be bound up.
We don't want to be shut up.
We don't want to be constrained.
We are human beings.
We're explorers.
We're researchers.
We're pioneers.
We don't want to be.
And they understood this.
Pursuit of happiness.
Life is to be maximized and pursued.
And people are to get as much out of it as they are able.
And they can't do it with shackles around their ankles.
They can't do it with governments that hold them in contempt.
They can't do it with leaders that think they have no brains.
People are going to be constrained by people who think they have no ability to do things.
So they're going to want to do everything for them.
The right to life.
We're all created equal.
Right to life.
It's those definitions of our creation and our freedom are what set us apart from virtually every nation on the face of the earth.
I don't know if you know this or not.
And nothing against the Brits.
They don't even have a constitution.
They do not have one.
The European Union, they're trying to write one, but it's a bunch of commi-libs that it's a disaster.
It's nothing but a PC manual and digest.
And that is how we've stood the test of time.
It is those three things that are under assault by today's left.
The right to life, the pursuit of happiness.
You're not supposed to be happy because if you're happy, well, somebody's not happy.
It's not fair.
And if your pursuit of happy offends somebody, of happiness, offends somebody, or robs somebody else of their happiness, we can't have that.
No, because for liberals, today's liberals, they want misery equally because that's the only way we can all be equal.
So we have to spread misery as equally as possible.
We can't humiliate them.
This is why the country is under assault, not Iraq.
Not the war on terror, not the fact that the rest of the world hates us.
The fact that the rest of the world hates us is bogus, but it's irrelevant anyway if we're the case, because it's their problem, because we're a great nation.
And we're going to run around trying to remake ourselves to satisfy every little slime ball dictator or every Western European socialist who for some reason is unhappy with us.
Then we're going to cease to exist as we've known it.
And that's part of what today's left wants.
And I said, here's how you need to look at Iraq.
Since you keep bringing Iraq up, this is how you need to look at it.
Let's suppose, let me just stipulate with you liberals, that it was a mistake to invade.
I don't think so, but I'm going to stipulate it for you for this conversation.
And I'm going to agree with you that this whole thing has been mismanaged from start to present.
And I'm even going to agree with you that Saddam Hussein wasn't a threat and we had no business going in there.
And they said, good, good.
I said, no, because that's irrelevant.
What do you mean it's irrelevant?
It makes us a bad country.
No, it's not irrelevant.
We're fighting the same people in Iraq that blew us up on 9-11.
It's the same people.
I don't care where they are.
The fact is, what happened up till now is irrelevant because we are there and we are fighting the enemy that you claim to hate.
Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda.
Question.
Let me ask you people this.
I had their attention at this point, by the way.
I said, does it make any sense at all for the United States of America to leave in defeat without taking care of the business we are presented with at present?
I said, it is what it is.
I have this phrase.
And I use it to remind myself of things to stay grounded in reality.
It is what it is.
If we pull out of there defeated, can you imagine what we will face down the road from these Islamo-fascists?
You have to defeat these people.
There is no alternative if we are to remain the United States of America.
For our own future, our own sake, we have to defeat them wherever they are.
It doesn't matter if it's Iraq, if it's Nicaragua, it's Venezuela, wherever they are, they have to be stopped.
I don't care what any of us thinks of us right now.
This is about national security, preserving the nation that you claim to love.
Our vital interests and security are at stake there and here.
We're the United States.
We don't lose unless people like John Kerry are in charge.
That didn't go over well.
If we start waving a white flag and we leave, we're inviting more attacks in this country.
We're never going to get another nation to join us as an ally.
And we're going to have to take these people on at some point.
You think we're just, let's say we leave.
We wave the white flag.
We get what you want.
We pull out of a rock.
The rest of the world loves us.
We start getting attacked on our own soil.
The terrorists are really emboldened.
Their morale is way up.
If they start attacking us, are you going to say we need to leave America and let them have it?
At some point, even you libs are going to realize they're going to have to be defeated.
And if we don't do it now, we have to do it at some point.
And if we wait, the challenge is going to be even tougher.
And then I hit them with undeniable truth of life number 20, which they just cringed.
But I had them.
Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.
It is not governed by peace movements, feel-good movements, and all of that.
And I said, if we retreat, like the Democrat Party and the liberals of this country want us to do today, we're only going to have to face these people down the road when it's your kids that'll be facing them.
It's open line Friday.
People have been patiently waiting.
So we go back to the phones to Walbridge, Ohio.
This is Yvonne.
Hi, Yvonne.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hi, Rush.
It's nice to speak with you.
Thank you.
I have two quick questions.
The first one, in the game of golf, when the player before he putts and he puts his coin down by the ball and moves it, what is he doing?
Lining it up.
The golf ball, he's probably painted a straight line on it.
And after he is, and it's depending on the golf ball, some are now made with a straight line printed on it.
Well, it's a straight line.
It curves with the curvature of the ball, but he's lined up his putt, and so he's put that straight line on the line that he wants to stroke the putt.
Oh, okay, because it just seems so close.
It just didn't make sense to me.
Well, it's because they can't get close enough to show you.
And these commentators think everybody understands that because I think everybody watching golf plays golf.
But no, they're lining up the putt based on the – you see them walking around.
They – They size up the green.
They go from backwards, forwards, sideways.
Then they squat down and they start lining up the ball based on the line they want to hit it toward the hole.
Okay.
Understand.
I watch it every week.
I love golf.
But I just couldn't understand why they did that because in so many cases it was so close to the hole.
Take nothing for granted.
Those are the nerve rackers.
They are.
I know.
I know.
I've seen them ring around the rosie and not go in.
We call those Rockefeller putts.
Okay.
I'm learning so much more.
Thank you.
And why aren't you on television anymore?
I choose not to be.
I mean, I do occasional TV appearances.
TVs hurry up and wait.
I just, I just, I just, it's hurry up and wait.
I used to watch you all the time.
I know, everybody.
It's so enjoyable when you would get excited and fumble your papers.
Yeah, I know.
But you know what?
It was a 22-minute show.
It was a half-hour show, 22 minutes of content.
It took 90 minutes of meetings.
Oh.
I've never had one meeting to do this radio show.
I've never had to consult anybody.
I mean, television was, it is what it is, and it was fun.
But it was a load with the radio show, too, the way I do it.
And I just, you know.
I know I can't.
I don't even like, I don't even like doing guest shots on television.
And that means when I do do them, they stand out even more because they're even more rare.
Yvonne, I appreciate the call.
Thanks much.
We've got to take a quick time out here.
Another obscene profit break.
The EIB network back after this.
All right, not enough time to be fair with a phone call here, but we certainly have time to revisit Joseph Biden's comment back on January 30th this year.
It was an interview with The Observer on Senator Barack Obama.
I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guy.
Yeah, so you got the first.
This is where the whole Magic Negro stuff started with the Reverend Sharpton because he doesn't think he stinks.
He takes a shower every day.
You got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.
Guess who has come out and said that Joe Biden's wrong?
Mrs. Obama, Michelle Obama, in an interview with Glamour magazine, said that her husband, Barack, is so snoring and stinky, when he wakes up in the morning, their daughters will not crawl into bed with him.
Now, a lot of people are saying that Clintons have to be behind this.
But I don't think so, folks.
I don't know how the Clintons could be behind this.
But I know they're trying to humanize Barack Obama, but is this wise?
