Time Text
And we're back.
Great to have you with us, ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man on the case, the bulwark, fearless and unrelenting, behind a golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800 282882.
If you want to join us, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
We had a call in the last hour.
Hey, wait a minute.
Global warming, whatever.
Maybe it's not man-made, but isn't Greenland melting.
I mean, how do you explain that?
And I said that our official climatologist here, Dr. Roy Spencer, had explained it to me, but that was so long time ago it's buried in this giant global warming stack over, so he resent the note to me.
Here's what he says I've run into people who actually think that ice breaking off of glaciers is a sign of global warming.
Nancy Pelosi appears to be one of them.
I have to explain to them that as long as snow continues to fall on glaciers, like Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets, those glaciers will slowly continue to flow slowly toward the sea and chunks break off, falling into the ocean.
It's very dramatic, but it's completely natural.
You know, snow adds added weight.
A lot of snow on your roof is a problem, as you well know, whether the world is warming or not.
In fact, the colder it is and the snow doesn't melt, the bigger danger you face if you've got a pile of snow on top of your roof.
As you well know.
It's the same circumstance here.
That's a totally natural thing.
But it and I was dead on right.
It provides people a photo that you can take out of contact.
Oh, look at part of that glacier falling off and breaking off and flowing into the sea.
Oh no, it's melt.
No, it's not that at all, just the opposite, in fact.
It's so much damn snow that it's causing weight.
Uh, and uh then, of course, the uh uh the flows uh had a little warmer water, any number of things can happen here, but it's not a sign that Greenland is melting, ladies and gentlemen.
This is one of the oddest stories.
Australian doctors used an intravenous feed of vodka to keep an Italian tourist alive after he consumed large quantities of a poisonous substance.
This guy was doing his impersonation of a conder.
You know, the California conduit that was in danger when the thing would eat antifreeze.
It looked good to them on the street when it dripped from people's cars, and it it contains a poison, uh, ethylene glycol.
Uh doctors speculate that this 24-year-old guy was trying to hurt himself, maybe commit suicide by drinking some ethylene glycol.
So they administered pure alcohol, which is the conventional antidote to this, but they exhausted the hospital supply.
Desperate to continue the treatment, the doctors at Mackey Base Hospital in Queensland uh hooked up an IV feed of vodka.
Now, let me get this straight.
The hospital has plenty of vodka, but it runs out of pure alcohol, and they're not gonna run out of vodka.
Um the patient was drip-fed about three standard drinks an hour for three days in the intensive care unit.
Fortunately for him, he was in a medically induced coma for a good portion of that.
By the time he woke up, I think his hangover would have well and truly gone.
The hospital's administrators were also very understanding when we explained our reasons for buying a case of vodka.
Because they ran out of pure alcohol.
You know, there's a big, big, big homeless controversy brewing.
San Francisco C.W. Nevius uh writing about it.
It might be Nevius, I'm not sure how he pronounces it in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday.
Enough is enough.
San Francisco says of homeless residents of a famously liberal city appear to be changing views.
The liberal left coast city conservatives love to make fun of could be undergoing a transformation when it comes to homeless people, although the city would still be a poor choice for a pep rally for the war in Iraq.
Indications are that residents have had it with aggressive panhandlers, street squatters, and drug users.
Maybe there's been an epiphany, says David Latterman, the president of Fall Line Analytics, a local market research firm.
People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway.
Would somebody explain that to me?
This is pure liberal speak.
This is one of the greatest examples of liberal speak and liberal thought that I have ever encountered.
People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway.
This from a market research firm.
I guess their tolerance for homelessness up till now has been based on the fact that they had to tolerate the homelessness if they were going to hate Bush.
to show how good people they are.
Anyway, it's falling apart, the support for the homeless.
They've had it out there.
And this is a great illustration of how liberalism doesn't work.
They've been dealing with the homeless by encouraging homeless people, by encouraging the behavior, by not controlling them, by letting them harass merchants and stores and restaurants and so forth.
Then giving them an official place to stay right across from City Park or City Hall, uh thinking that if we just kind to these people, they'll understand our kindness.
No, it just encourages more and more of the same kind of behavior.
Now they finally have their fill of it.
Uh but they're conflicted because they hate Bush.
And their hatred of Bush made them a little bit reluctant to deal with the homeless problem for whatever asinine stupid reason.
But now they finally realize that they can still hate Bush.
And get mad at the homeless as well.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Fred Thompson showed up for the first time in a Republican debate last night.
His appearance was uh uh a matter of debate itself among members of the drive-by media.
But remember the old adage here, folks.
Success, 80% of success is showing up on time.
So Thompson showed up.
He was on time.
So it was a success.
His people also did something else.
They set really low expectations.
They there was no pre-pub on Thompson showing up and taking control of the hall and wiping it up with everybody else.
They've been put up pretty low expectations, and it wasn't hard for Fred Thompson to meet the low expectations and even surpass him a little bit.
Let's start with Bob Schiefer on the early show on CB yesterday, talking with Harry Smith, who said, Here's this guy who's been on television and movies and everything else.
He appears what do you think of the way the guy looked last night?
Kind of hunched over.
But if an actor's going to become president of the United States, somebody, somebody call wardrobe.
He needs to get a suit that fits uh number one, I think.
And I mean, you know, I hesitate to make too much of the cosmetics of this, but there is something to be said for looking presidential.
You always remember back that nobody ever saw a bad picture of Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan looked like a president.
Uh yesterday, uh I don't think that uh Fred Thompson looked that way.
He in the beginning he looked uncomfortable, he looked somewhat nervous.
Does J does what's his face, uh the Breck Girls he look like a president or a model?
Does Obama look like a pres does Hillary look like a president?
Now I can understand people saying, wait a second, this guy has so much experience with Hollywood and acting and making up properly and presenting yourself the best you can be, and if he didn't do that, maybe that was strategic.
Didn't want to come off slick, who knows?
I have no clue.
But I also marvel here at Bob Schiefer.
I don't remember all this praise for Ronald Reagan looking presidential back during Reagan's presidency.
What I remember from people like Schiefers making fun of him.
He was a dunce.
He hated the homeless.
He would sneak into the park across in the White House at night.
He would steal their cans of pork and beans, go back to the White House, open them up, eat the pork and beans, and as he swallowed, he'd rum his belly and go, God, I'm glad I'm eating these in the homeless aren't.
I'm glad there's that's the picture they tried to paint of Reagan, never tried to paint him as presidential.
He painted him as an accident.
An accident, accident waiting to happen.
Now all of a sudden he looks presidential, so they can rip into Fred Thompson.
Here's Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America Today, Diane Sawyer.
Uh Senator Fred Thompson, what about the debate debut?
He didn't shine by any means.
He was not the star of the show yesterday.
He was surprisingly nervous uh at the start, but he did find his footing, and he didn't make any uh major mistakes, and he did survive Diane, what could have been a crippling blow.
Senator Thompson has confused the Soviet Union and Russia already on the campaign trail.
Had he not gotten that gotcha question right, he would have been in deep, deep trouble.
Uh The gotcha question was uh from Christopher Matthews.
Uh, and it was, can you name the Prime Minister of Canada?
And Thompson did.
So, here's Stephanopoulos talking about what might have been, but if that's irrelevant because Thompson knew who he was.
But that could have been a fatal flaw.
Um such thing as a fatal flaw in a debate that happens at four o'clock in the afternoon on a cable channel, folks.
You he Fred Thompson could have forgotten who his name yesterday and it wouldn't matter because nobody saw it.
It was at four o'clock in the afternoon on a cable channel.
Can we get real?
Here's Howard Feynman.
We always love listening to Howard Feynman's comments.
He was on the hardball, Chris Matthews last night.
Matthews said, um, Fred Thompson looked like he's enjoying this.
Uh, he listed all the elements in our society uh were enjoying.
Is he?
At the beginning, he looked like he needed a very large digestive pill of some kind.
There's tone deaf, and then there's being oblivious here.
Most of the other Republican candidates conceded tactically in one way or another that the economy needs help in one place or another.
Uh uh Thompson was talking about how robust the economy was.
Uh and he was saying in uh throughout our history, even in good economic times, you're gonna have pockets of places in the country to not doing well.
And he cited Michigan because the debate was in Dearborn.
Well, Michigan isn't doing well, and it isn't doing well for specific reasons that have nothing to do with the U.S. economy.
It has to do with the local economy, tax increases, uh, overspending by the governor there and the legislature.
It it it's it's its textbook.
You know, Michigan is a great example of what the whole country will be if liberals get unfettered, unchecked access to all aspects of government.
By the way, um Chrysler workers went out on strike today.
I saw a picture of this on television at the top of the hour.
I counted ten people on the picket line from an overhead camera, maybe on a helicopter or some such thing.
It's just not the good old days when the unions went on strike.
Uh last time the auto workers went on strike, General Motors it lasted two days.
We'll see how long the Chrysler guys stay out.
Well, they walked off the job this morning.
Quick timeout, folks, back after this.
All right, sticking with the audio sound bites.
Now, last night during the debate, uh the Republican candidates did something quite natural.
They attacked Hillary Clinton.
They were critical of Hillary Clinton's flip-flopping and her policies and a number of things.
Why?
Because she is the likely Democrat nominee.
This did not sit well with the drive-by media.
We have a montage here of the drive-by's defending Hillary from these vicious attacks at the GOP debate.
I kept thinking that Hillary Clinton was there last night.
The other candidate who got the most attention last night was not in the room.
Open the debate with an attack on Hillary.
Going after Hillary Clinton.
Every answer sort of becomes an attack on Hillary Clinton.
Bash Hillary to Tank Hillary for changing her positions.
Hillary Clinton, she's the one we can easily demonize.
Yes, yes, yes.
Now, of course, when George W. Bush is routinely savaged during Democrat debates, I don't ever recall the drive-by media getting on their case for attacking somebody who's not even going to be on the ballot.
But here they got to defend Hillary.
This is it's interesting, folks, because it's it's the same old don't attack the girl.
There's more to this than that, obviously.
I mean, these people uh gonna treat Hillary like she's a queen.
They all want her attention.
They all want to be invited to the White House estate dinners, the orgies and the parties that Bill's gonna throw.
They want to have all these things, uh, so they want to stay on her good side, so they got to come to her defense as though she can't defend herself, and they've they've bought into this whole notion that Hillary is a victim.
And we're we're not gonna sit here and let our candidate be besmirched by these Republican meanies.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Rudy Giuliani last night was one of those who was uh discussing Hillary, and he does the most consistent job in these debates of going after her.
Uh Chris Matthews said polls also show that voters look now at least to the Democrats to handle the economy.
How are you going to win back their confidence?
The possibilities for America in this global economy are endless if we don't put a lid on ourselves.
We want to give people freedom.
I'll give you an example.
Hillary uh the other day, remember the Hillary Bond uh program?
She's gonna give five thousand dollars to every child born in America with her picture on it.
I think, right?
Right, right.
Okay, okay, okay.
I challenged her on it.
I challenge her.
She she has backed off that.
She has a new one today.
This this one is she's gonna give out a thousand dollars to everybody to set up a 401k.
The problem is this one costs five billion dollars more than the last one.
He also said something uh uh last night in the debate about health care and this economy.
And I, you know, the one of the things I love, and I don't care who does it, is people that tell the truth about this country and how great it is, how unique it is, how wonderful it is, how great the opportunities are in this country, how strong and vibrant our economy is.
I love people that have the guts to do this, swimming against the the the current uh that seems to have everybody in conventional wisdom wanting to say the economy is on the precipice of disaster.
They say it every year, they say it every day if they're on the Democrat side.
And Rudy said, you know about this health care business, what we need to do is fix our health care system, make it the best in the world, and sell it to the rest of the world.
And a couple other things in our economy we need to perfect, get them right, better than they are, they're better now than they have.
But by the way, somebody had a great joke last night about um the biggest problem if we go Hillary socialized medicine route, what are Canadians gonna do for quality health care?
Because there'll be no difference in our health care and theirs, and they'll stop coming here for quality health care, and Canadians are gonna get sick and sick and sicker and sicker and die earlier because they're gonna have nowhere good to go uh for health care.
Uh but I I I'm telling you folks, I appreciate anybody who's willing to be optimistic and positive about this country.
It's so magnetic.
It is it is so redeeming.
Uh it's it's uh it's motivational, it's inspirational, and it has the added benefit of being true.
Let's go back to Fred Thompson.
Maria Barcherromo, the um the money honey from CNBC said the economy is America's greatest strength.
In a recent poll with the Wall Street Journal and NBC News, two thirds of the American people said that we're either in a recession or headed toward one.
Do you agree with that?
I think there is no reason to believe that we're headed for a recession.
We're enjoying 22 quarters of successive economic growth uh that started uh 2001 and then further in 2003 with uh the tax cuts uh that we put in place.
We're enjoying uh low inflation, we're enjoying low unemployment.
Uh the stock market seems to be doing pretty well.
Uh I see no reason to believe we're headed for an economic downturn.
There are pockets in the economy, certainly uh they're having difficulty.
I think there's certainly those in Michigan that are having difficulty.
I think you always find that in a vibrant, dynamic economy.
I think that not enough has been done to tell what some call the greatest story never told.
And that is that uh we uh uh enjoying a period of of growth right now.
And uh we should acknowledge what got us there and continue those same policies on into the future.
Fred Thompson on the economy.
By the way, his remark about Michigan-led uh might have been Romney, I'm not sure who it was, uh, uh, to uh he's just uh ignoring Michigan here.
Uh forget his line.
It was uh it was it was a somewhat funny line.
But I was the point was that uh, you know, even it w I remember back in the days when the uh the oil price plummeted to ten bucks a barrel back in the eighties, and it it devastated the domestic oil market.
They had to they had to cap and close some wells here.
They could not, at 10 bucks a barrel afford to stay in operation.
They capped them forever.
Uh and now look at the price of oil.
Well, well, consumers were just doing great.
Everything the economy was just humming right along, but the domestic oil market took a hit at those prices.
That is uh that is what he meant.
Uh also Maria Barcheromo asked an economic question to Giuliani.
She said, Is London gonna replace New York as the financial capital of the world?
And Giuliani said, What pardon me?
She said, Is London going to replace New York as the financial capital of the world?
If so, what are you gonna do to change that?
And uh Rudy said, No, how no way?
It's not gonna happen.
It's not gonna happen.
And there was applause in the room.
She said, Well, we're seeing an increased number of Giuliani said, come on.
No, we're seeing increased amounts of businesses go to London.
Julian, Julie, let's stop this stuff with our head down.
London gonna replace New York?
Give me a break.
Of course, London's not gonna replace New York.
Well, the number of IPOs is higher in London in 07 than in New York.
Is the UK gonna replace the U.S. of the United States of America?
U i This is the strongest economy on earth, the last best hope of humanity.
We've been like that.
If this generation can't keep it that way, shame on us.
This country's a leader of the world.
When Congressman Tan Credo talks about the immigration problem, how about look at it this way?
Why do millions of people want to come to this country?
What country they're trying to get into?
I don't care if they bash us all over the world.
What country do they most want to come to?
What country they most want to copy?
What are China and India trying to do?
China and India are trying to develop themselves to be like us, which is we we got a heck of a lot that we can sell to them, but we just put on our entrepreneurial hats and act like confident Americans.
This was Rudy talking to Maria Barcheromo.
Back in a second.
And having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have at the same time.
Folks, I want to.
Before we go back to the phones here, I want to talk a little bit about this S chip business and the uh and the Frost family, because the Baltimore Sun today has a story, Frost family draws ire of conservatives.
And what they're basically writing in this piece is listing all the conservatives, including me, who are attacking this family.
Uh and and uh making it uh uh unfortunate.
This is just a nice little family and so forth and so on, and uh these mean conservatives are out there saying all these rotten things.
They quote me, Michelle Malkin, uh Mark Stein, uh, so forth.
The way this all happened was the Frosts joined the debate through family acquaintance Vinny DeMarco, the president of the Maryland Citizens' Health Initiative, DeMarco introduced him to the uh pro ship organization Families USA, which put them in touch with Nancy Pelosi's office.
And voila, they were made stars, Graham Frost and his sister in the uh dress uh responding to President Bush's Saturday radio address and so forth.
The Frost declined to show the Baltimore Sun their 2006 income tax returns.
The State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene would not confirm their enrollment in the program.
But John Fulker, the uh deputy secretary for health care financing, said yesterday that applicants must prove their income levels through social security numbers or tax returns to be accepted for coverage, but he said a family's assets are not considered in determining uh eligibility.
The frost children depend on financial aid to attend private school, the Frost say.
In addition, uh Gemma Frost receives money from the city for special education made necessary by her injuries.
Halsey and Bonnie Frost said they still have no health insurance.
Bonnie Frost said she priced coverage recently 1,200 a month.
Well, these people can clearly afford it.
They just choose not to.
But you know, folks, this this is not the point.
What everybody is missing about this is what uh what I think is is the nuts and bolts of the of the stuff of the of the whole program.
This is the state children's uh health insurance program, and it's ten years old, and it's up for renewal.
The Democrats are trying to increase the program so that it covers babies up to the age of twenty-five, families of four up to the income level of eighty-three thousand dollars, and any number of other things it's it's beyond the poor.
The poor have nothing to do with this program as the Democrats want it.
The president has not suggested it be cut.
The president wants to increase the funding by what is it, four billion dollars annually, but keep the coverage at poor children.
Now, the dirty little secret is this.
The Democrats put lies into the frost kids' head.
They send them out there on television or radio to make these statements.
And one of the things that the kid said was, I just want children in my circumstance to be able to get the health care I got.
Well, guess what?
They got their health care under the previous iteration of the program.
They don't need an increase in the program for them to qualify, strangely, because the state of Maryland can qualify whoever they want.
So this is the whole thing is bogus.
We don't need the massive Democratic expansion in order to get this frost family covered.
They were covered under this program as it currently exists, and yet they were trotted out to make it look like they would not have been able to recover from their auto accident because of George Bush.
It's another flat out smear and lie and misrepresentation by Democrats who cannot dare tell the truth about anything.
And the truth in this case is their intention for this program as one of many stealth programs to get us stealthfully down to the road of socialized medicine with a government running the whole thing.
This poor family has been propped up in you, and this is typical for the Democrats.
It's getting to the point when you hear the Democrats start talking about for the children.
Think of yourself, because they want to look at all of us as children as incapable and incompetent as children are to make decisions ourselves.
So they start wanting everything for the children.
They're talking about every damn one of us.
And the way they use these people is just shocking.
Not shocking, it's just it's it's disgusting to me.
And many of the people they end up using are frauds in the first place.
There was a there was a case, and I had it in the stack yesterday.
Some mother, back in the mid-90s, Hillary used this woman to promote uh health insurance everybody, and so forth and so on.
His mother had a baby, and the baby was continually sick, digestive problems, no, and if doctors couldn't figure it out, no matter what they tried, she didn't get better.
And it took two million dollars of uh of health care over a number of months and years, uh, and they still could not figure any of this out.
Well, they later found out that the mother had been force feeding the kid uh certain kinds of health foods or whatever that had that screwed the little kid all up and then had defrauded some government agency of sixty thousand dollars.
And these are the but these are the people that the the Democrats trot up.
Uh there was another case, Michelle Morkin writes about this today in the New York Post.
I forget this woman's name, but the Democrats had her walking the highway, picking up thrown away beer bottles, plastic bottles, and cans to redeem at the grocery store for a nickel apiece so that she could be able to finally afford food and medicine.
And they made big deal, and they drag her up to Washington.
Her wealthy son exposed the fraud of all this.
She was she was totally capable of affording what she wanted to afford.
The Democrats is find these people and they create them.
And they've done the same thing with the Frosts.
You people in the drive-by media, who wrote this piece?
Baltimore's son, Matthew Hay Brown.
Matthew, I know you're a good reporter, know you're trying to be a good reporter.
Do a story tomorrow on the fact that the program as it exists would have provided the did provide the frost exactly what they got.
They did not need the Democrats' expansion of this, and to be propped out there on the national radio and television, and to suggest they wouldn't get what they got if Bush gets his way is just wrong.
It is plain wrong.
You are a journalist, Mr. Hay Brown.
You are supposed to get to the truth of things.
Instead, you focus on the personality here of how rotten and mean conservatives are.
Well, the truth about this family is the truth about this family.
And they're being used, and they had a bunch of lies pumped in the kid's head, put him on radio, give him a script and so forth.
Twelve-year-old kid for crying out loud.
I just not gonna sit here and believe a 12-year-old kid came up with all this thought and uh belief and uh philosophy on his own.
Somebody had a pump him fill of it in his head.
Or put it on the script for him to read, or what have you.
Just a pawn.
A 12-year-old kid being used to advance a distortion and a lie.
It really is central to this.
Uh the Democrats, they they they're just they will do anything they can to get you and me to pay ever much more for another expansion of the federal government that they then are going to control.
But to put this family out there and to make the country, try to make the country believe that without this new expansion the Democrats want, this poor family would have been left out.
This poor family got exactly what they needed from the program as it exists.
And that's what's not being reported about this, and that's journalistic malpractice.
Paul and Jacksonville, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, where is the peace?
What piece has Al Gore achieved to qualify him for this uh Nobel Peace Prize?
Well, you know, it is it is interesting.
There's a post at National Review Online today by Ian Murray.
Uh and he addresses this point.
He says, while Al Gore is the favorite to win the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, a British courts found that his film is both partisan and contains no fewer than eleven material inaccuracies that need to be drawn to students' attention if it's going to be shown in the screws there.
As for the impending Nobel Award, am I the only one who finds it depressing that while past laureates like Mother Teresa Albert Schweitzer spent decades working with the poor in terrible conditions?
Gore wins for making a movie?
Moreover, a movie of himself giving a lecture?
Moreover, a movie whose upshot is that the poor in Calcutta and West Africa should be denied access to the energy that can lift them out of poverty.
So it's a great what's he do what the but the Nobel Peace Prize in recent years hasn't been about peace anyway.
It's been about liberal activism.
How do you explain Jimmy Carter getting a Nobel Peace Prize?
Jimmy Carter is single-handedly responsible for the nation of Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran being the state sponsor of worldwide territory.
Jimmy Carter gets a Nobel Peace.
How do you explain Yasser Arafat getting the Nobel Peace Prize?
All you know, Gore's gonna get it because of the movie.
He's gonna get it because global warming is a liberal hoax.
He's gonna get it because he's criticized Bush.
He's gonna get it because he lost unfairly to Bush in 2000 in their minds.
Uh it has nothing to do with peace.
The Nobel Peace Prize had anything to do.
I should be the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I have done more for liberty, individual freedom, and the promotion of that, which is what leads to peace than anybody in this year's roster of candidates.
I should be the recipient.
I'm not campaigning for it.
I say this only to illustrate how it's just it's it's been devalued.
This whole Nobel Peace Prize here.
Back in just a second.
Here we are, back, Rush Limbaugh, with half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair.
Once again, ladies and gentlemen, I have pioneered a service.
In the process of pioneering this service, I have brought the count the uh the cost of the service down for all.
The uh headline here in this A P story says at all popularity of personal chefs rises.
As lives get increasingly busier with careers, kids, commutes, and other chaos, of course, my life has none of that kind of chaos.
Well, career kids and commutes know.
A growing number of people are turning to personal chefs to make sure that there's a hot meal on the table at the end of a long day.
Hiring a professional to cook for you isn't a whole lot different than hiring somebody to clean your house or walk the dog, and it's not just for the wealthy, said John Moore, executive director of the United States Personal Chef Association.
They actually have a group.
It's not lifestyles of the rich and famous.
People don't have personal chefs because they've got tons of money.
They have them because it solves a problem, puts dinner on the table.
How many people have personal chefs but are not buying their own health insurance, though?
What is it?
It's a legitimate question.
How many are paying for a personal chef but not buying health insurance?
This will lead, uh, you know, if this if this keeps up, it's not going to be fair, folks, that uh a lot of people have personal chefs, but uh people other people don't.
So this will lead a Democrats will propose a program called S chef, which will put a personal chef in every person's house.
Uh uh and and they will they will do this uh because it's just it's it's not fair that there are people who do not have chefs.
Um well, that's right.
See, it's it's a great idea too, because the S chef program that the Democrats will not come up with as a government-mandated program, the S-Chef chefs will have to uh be under federal guidelines as to what they can prepare and what they can't prepare.
And so the government can solve its uh panic and fear over our nation's obesity problem by making sure the S chef only can fix certain so-called healthy meals.
Thanks, Roger.
And uh, once again, I pioneered the personal chef a long time ago.
And when people like me, it's like buying the first big screen TV.
Pay the full boat price and they come out.
It allows the production to continue and the prices fall, so they become affordable for more and more people.
Yes, Mr. Snerdley, what's the question?
No, no.
It won't work.
Mr. Snerdley's idea is this can solve the whole school lunch program, the whole hunger program, just get a chef in every house, the S chef program, and the S chef fixed meals uh day long.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, so that the schools don't have to worry about it.
That'll never happen.
The government is not going to uh uh take away the power it has to attract people to those indoctrination centers called schools, and the power that attracts them is food.
You don't think those kids are going to class, do you?
Or forklift going for the food.
Breakfast in the morning, whether you can afford it or not.
Hell that started back when I was in junior high.
I knew it was all over then.
I we wouldn't have didn't have a didn't have a prayer then.
Hartford, Connecticut, this is Ferris.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hello.
Ditto's great one.
Hey, uh, every day we give thanks for your talents and those of Mr. Bo Snerdly, but I'd like to just shout out to uh E.A. Conklin of the Onion Country of Orange County, New York, for turning me on to you.
I appreciate that.
I I would be embarrassed to tell you how many years ago that was.
But it was a long time ago when the earth was green.
I am calling about the breaking news story uh from the United States Supreme Court.
And uh it ties into what you were saying probably a minute ago about having personal chefs.
It seems that uh a college brother of mine has just been uh uh granted by the Supreme Court to have the City of New York reimburse him for the cost of his son's private education in a four-to-four ruling, which is no ruling, as you may.
No.
Right.
Supremes said that former president of Viacom, Thomas E. Fresn.
You went to college with Fresn?
I went to college with Preston.
I worked for Feston in the cafeteria.
He was the head waiter.
His nickname, I will withhold.
All right.
Well, for those of you that don't know, Fresnel was one of the creators, founders of MTV.
That's that's who we're talking about here.
That was his child.
That was his child.
That's exactly right.
Not the child getting federal or city benefits, uh the the the the child.
So your point is what?
Why how can such a wealthy individual be reimbursed for sending his uh his uh disabled child to a city school?
Well, my point is this I stood up and cheered and and thought of Tom when I heard of that and want to call him and congratulate him.
And when I spoke to a uh another Fresn about it, it was a retired uh uh school teacher from New York, who was quite frustrated that a wealthy man would receive justice uh in this case.
And I'm hoping that you will uh line up with me on this and and agree that Feston deserves the same judicial treatment that a poor man like me would get.
And furthermore, I wanted to point out that um that he uh You lost your train of thought, didn't you?
Well, I may have.
Did you it's what happens to amateurs at times, and we we we specialists and highly trained uh professionals can spot it the moment it happens.
Well, get me back uh the track.
Well, I feel for you.
Well, yeah, I I've got a uh actually your your your uh uh train of thought departures occurred in a uh good time because I've got to go I've got a hard break coming here I can't miss.
But I will I will comment on this uh at the top of the hour in the monologue because it is an interesting premise.
I want to give people the details of this uh as well, because the initial reaction people are gonna have is how can this be?
This is just not right.
But um Ferris here has a good point.
We'll be back in just a second.
What the hell is this?
I never heard this in the bumper tune rotation.
You bring stuff from home again today.
Okay.
