Time Text
Hey, Kimberly in Sarasota, if you're still out there.
We've been looking up things here at the um Beyhaven Elementary School website, Sarasota, Florida.
By the way, greetings and welcome back, folks.
It's Rush Limbaugh here, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
What we found is, by the way, if you missed Kemberley's call, they're celebrating Veterans Day tomorrow at the Bay Haven Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, and in her son's fourth grade class, that class in honoring America's veterans is uh spending time honoring uh this nation's conscientious objectors.
And Kimberly, as a mother, is very distressed about this, has pulled a kid out of that class.
So we uh website, and on November 15th, the Bayhaven Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, has scheduled a Thanksgiving skit and lunch together.
Can we assume, based on the conscientious objector honor that they are going to bestow tomorrow in the fourth grade, that the um fourth grade at Behaven Elementary for Thanksgiving will also represent gonorrhea in the Thanksgiving skit.
Well, I asked that because you know the uh the multiculturalists say that syphilis and gonorrhea, gongaria, as my health teacher in high school called it, uh, and all these other sexually transmitted diseases, environmental destruction, sexism, racism, all this was brought over by the white Europeans uh when the country was uh being discovered and founded.
So I wonder if the fourth grade at Bay Haven elementary in Sarasota will honor gonorrhea in the uh Thanksgiving skit.
Thanks for helping us, white guys.
Sorry about that burning sensation you're feeling, but we must honor gonorrhea.
Uh really sick stuff out there.
By the way, this is not a hoax.
John Coleman.
You remember John Coleman?
He's the founder of the Weather Channel.
John Coleman used to be uh I think maybe one of the best.
If I'm remembering who this guy is, blonde hair.
He was out of Chicago, WLS TV, but he did the weather in Good Morning America.
And I remember they had a huge, huge, this is a 70s now.
Huge, huge blizzard.
Uh nobody could get in and out of anywhere.
He was in that studio for like five days in a row uh doing weather and so forth.
He's the founder of the Weather Channel, or one of the founders.
And if the founder of the Weather Channel spoke out strongly against man-made global warming, might anybody notice.
Well, we're gonna find out soon because he's written an article, Coleman has published at IceCap.
It was published yesterday.
Uh here's how he begins.
It's the greatest scam in history.
I'm amazed, I'm appalled, I'm highly offended by it.
Global warming, it is a scam.
Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long-term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.
Other scientists of the same environmental wacko type, as his words, jumped into the circle to support and broaden the quote unquote research to further enhance the totally slanted bogus global warming claims.
Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going.
Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, C ABS, NBC, the Democrat Party, the Governor of California, school teachers, and in many cases, well-informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens.
Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the global warming frenzy with one 15-minute documentary segment.
I have read dozens of scientific papers.
I have talked with numerous scientists, I have studied, I've thought about it, I know I am correct.
There's no runaway climate change.
The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic.
Our planet is not in peril.
I'm incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness, the rude dismissal of counter-arguments by the high priest of global warming.
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious.
John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, two Democrat presidential candidates with extensive foreign policy experience, warned today that the current unrest in Pakistan is reminiscent of events that led up to the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979.
This is Joe Biden and Bill Richardson.
Really?
Pakistan is like 1970s around.
And what happened then?
Jimmy Carter kicked out the Shah and brought in the lunatics that run the place now.
So that you guys in the Democrats, Richardson and Biden, you can run out there talking.
It's uh 70s Pakistan.
You are not the people to deal with it then, if it is like 70s Pakistan.
From Washington, congressional negotiators said Tuesday they were nearing agreement on a revised SCHIP bill that they believe would withstand President Bush's veto.
Their goal is a measure that'll attract about two dozen House Republicans to a bid to expand the S chip program by 35 billion dollars.
Bush has said he's going to veto any version of this if it's funded by a tobacco tax increase, which is virtually certain under any revised plan.
Now remember, this dates back to what happened in Oregon, 60 to 40th, so a state program similar to this.
Cigarette taxes, 85 cents a pack increase to fund health care for poor children.
Uh went down to a stinging defeat.
And in Washington, they are not getting the uh the message.
I think I think it's time to ratchet up the pressure on this again.
This is this is like immigration.
They're gonna keep coming at us.
They're gonna keep trying to force it on us, regardless what the people of the country want.
And it is uh highly, highly, and Democrats are running this show.
It is highly instructive, a lot to learn here.
Uh in New Jersey, the stem cell research thing down the tubes.
The governor says, screw it, we're gonna do it anyway.
Screw the results.
People didn't understand it.
In Oregon, governor out there, people didn't understand this.
We're gonna screw this.
Well, this is just round one.
We're gonna come back and we're gonna get this again.
Washington S chip goes down to defeat.
Well, screw that.
We're gonna come back.
We're gonna we're gonna doctor this up in such a way that some gullible Republicans will join us.
Uh and then what else?
Uh the Oh, Amnesty.
Amnesty got flooded, sent to the uh graveyard of legislation.
They come back with this dream act bill essentially tries to do the same thing.
So this is a great illustration of who Democrats are and that of the contempt and condescension with which they view average Americans who do not vote in such ways that allow Democrats to do what they want to do.
Where is this from?
Uh Newscientists.com.
A woman who walks with a seductive sway of her hips is unlikely to be ovulating.
A finding that sheds light on the complex sexual signals that women give to men.
A team at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada dressed female volunteers in suits, which had light reflectors placed on the joints and limbs and filmed them walking in order to analyze their gait.
The women also gave a saliva sample to assess their hormone levels.
Women who were in the fertile period of their cycle walked with smaller hip movements and their knees closer together, scientists found.
Wouldn't you like to be part of this research team?
I mean, I wonder who got the who arranged the grant money for this.
Uh, forty male volunteers were shown the footage of the women were asked to rate those with the sexiest walk.
The winners were those who turned out to be in the least fertile part of the cycle.
A U.S. paper published last month found that lap dancers earn more tips during their fertile period than during the non-fertile period of their cycle.
So, uh yeah.
Interesting data will require further research, I think, because after reading it, I'm confused.
I'm not sure I totally uh understand this.
Uh female U.S. corporate directors are now out-earning men.
They may be a small minority in corporate boardrooms that women directors typically earn more than men.
A new U.S. study has found.
Female directors in corporate America earn median compensation of 120,000 based on the most recently available pay data compared with 104,000 for men.
The corporate library is the research group that uh that did this and uh put out their annual pay report on Wednesday.
We won't hear much about this, obviously.
Quick timeout here, folks.
Be right back after this.
Do not go away.
And welcome back.
L. Rushball.
Talent on loan from God.
I want to tell you about a movie I saw recently.
I flew out to Las Vegas, I guess was it last Friday?
Was it last Friday?
Boy, I'd say the time the days are just running together.
I think it was.
It was last Friday flew out.
Whenever it was, last Friday or two Fridays ago flew out to Las Vegas, and I got a promotional copy of this movie that's uh in in uh small number of theaters right now, and it's just doing overwhelmingly well.
It's called Bella.
Uh but it it it's it's really strange, not strange.
We see stories continuously, ladies and gentlemen, how Hollywood is not making its nut at the box office.
Just the the movies are just not selling.
Here's one that is, and nobody's talking about it.
Uh because it is about life.
It is uh it's about abortion.
And it is about say it's about abortion is a bit i it's about life and how there are alternatives to abortion uh uh with with people who have ethics uh and and with uh morality.
Uh this is a movie that you don't see come out of Hollywood much because it it reinforces uh the sanctity and the importance of the life uh issue, and it's not preachy, it's just it's built right into the uh plot, and uh the dialogue is not controversial in any way.
Uh these these kinds of movies used to get made a long time ago, but not anymore.
These these are these are the kind of movies that the public would love to see.
Uh it's going to be opening, I think, at 30 more markets over the uh over the weekend.
Uh and it's the way to contrast this would be million dollar baby.
Did you guys ever gonna see millions?
I I did not see million dollar, but got it on my colite escape system, but I haven't watched it.
But I do know in that movie uh Hillary Swank the female boxer becomes paralyzed and and asks her manager, uh Clint Eastwood, uh, to help her end her life.
And uh there was an uproar over that uh because it seemed to glorify the courage of euthanasia.
This is uh is just the opposite.
Uh and it takes a situation, uh woman becoming impregnated, where in most cases in the country the first thought is uh I got to abort.
I didn't want this to happen.
Uh two people deal with this in a in a in a rational way.
Uh and it's it's you know, it's it's breaking box office.
There's not been a whole lot of screens.
It hasn't been uh uh in a in a lot of markets, but where it has been playing, it's been breaking records.
And you haven't probably heard about it.
The drive-by is not writing about the movie.
Uh Bella.
Yeah, Bella is in Bella Abzug, but don't no, don't, it's not it Bella, B-E-L-L-A.
Uh it'll soon be in the rental library at the uh Bay Haven Elementary School in uh Sarasota.
So it's uh it runs it's just a little under two hours, and I um I wasn't able to, you know, it's not captioned.
This is a promotion copy, and I uh I was listening to it on the airplane.
I got most of the dialogue.
Uh but I I'm sure I missed some, but I got enough to understand how powerful the uh the movie is.
And I I uh I remember when it started, I said, uh boy, this is awfully slow.
I don't because I was I was raved.
It was it was raved about to me.
And this is starting off a little slow here, but for some reason I stuck with not because I knew what was coming, but just because I was compelled to stay with it.
So if Bella is in your market, and uh you are upset over fourth graders being taught about conscientious objectors on Veterans Day and that kind of stuff happening in the country.
This is a movie uh that you'll like and you'll applaud, and it'll warm your heart.
So keep a sharp eye out for it.
I uh I was frankly surprised.
I really was.
All right.
Uh Lead editorial today for the Financial Times, ladies and gentlemen.
China, get these are these are facts, statistics, presented in the lead editorial of the Financial Times.
China will overtake the U.S. and become the biggest energy consumer soon after 2010.
Sales of new vehicles will exceed those of the U.S. by 2015.
Almost quadrupling Chinese demand for transport fuel by 2030.
By that year, 2030, China will need more than 1,300 gigawatts of new electricity generating capacity, more than all the power stations in North America alone.
Do you know how many coal plants, coal-fired power plants the Chinese are building?
One every two days.
That's the rate that they're building these things.
And they don't care, by the way, what they're polluting.
They don't care.
They're they're let me tell you why.
The biggest challenge that the ChICOM leaders have is employment.
They've got to find jobs for the for 25 million new jobs a year they have to find, because the introduction of the American capitalist system has caused an economic explosion.
Yet the Chicoms want to stay they want to keep ChICOM type control over their people.
So they need jobs for them to have something to do, but they also have a lot of people live out in the countryside.
They've got to keep those people there.
They got to be jobs created out in the countryside because if they flood the cities, which are already teeming with people and a number of the um uh negative camp uh aspects of a whole lot of people living like in an ant farm, then they lose control of the population.
So they're being forced into this, and people, if you need them out in the country, they're gonna need to deep transportation as the country modernizes.
That's why they're gonna be building and buying all these new cars and going to need all the fuel.
The answer to this from the uh United States standpoint should be what?
Uh, you know, you can go back to the 70s and you can recall that Jimmy Carter was going to make us energy independent with his synthetic fuels.
Will biofuels, if all the all these new alternative sources of energy will biofuels and ethanol and all this sort of stuff, will this keep us in the growth posture that this country expects and is already enjoyed?
Uh will big environment give big energy a break so that we can deal with this problem?
This is going to be a huge problem, not just in supply, but in price as well.
Uh the ChICOMs are going to do whatever they have to do to get the oil to get their people from revolting and to keep them satisfied.
We, on the other hand, in this country are going in the opposite direction.
We are not doing anything to increase our energy supplies and energy sources.
We're running around saying turn off light bulbs or exchange light bulbs or release some oil from the strategic reserve, some minor little this worthless, irrelevant things.
Drive hybrids.
You know, everything we're doing in this country is oriented toward no growth.
Everything we're doing in this country is oriented toward, in fact, not no growth, but actually slowing down.
And conservation, that's fine, saving and not wasting.
That's cool, but that's not growth.
It doesn't equal growth and it never will.
And with the ChICOMs, and let's not forget India.
India's in this mix as well.
Uh they're modernizing at a rapid rate economically.
Uh and so this is it's not just a competitive situation, but it's also an aspect where we're going to have to define who we want to be in the future.
This is what I think the presidential race is going to be about, who we are going to be as a country and where our country is headed and how we're going to define ourselves.
And are we going to allow ourselves to head backwards or stagnate while these other countries around the world are in this massive rapid growth rate?
Uh it will be interesting to see.
And if if you think that we meet need to stay in this massive rapid growth rate, you have to ask yourself, since these are political questions requiring political Leadership, who in the world do you think is best suited for growth, and who is going to stunt it?
And need I remind you which party it is that wants to raise your taxes on virtually everything in your life they can.
And that will, of course, do what to your own personal growth.
It will limit it, it will stunt it, slow it down for a while.
We have entrepreneurs who will always find ways around those obstacles, but not everybody's an entrepreneur.
Not everybody finds a way.
And those people are going to get hurt and they're going to start belly aching and moaning and whining.
Uh maybe even crying when Osama bin Laden.
Sorry.
Barack Obama comes along and holds her hand.
Slip of the tongue.
Oh, yes.
Screams of joy at the very mention of my name.
Great to have you back.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided uh to do something here.
I'm profoundly embarrassed over having fallen for the global warming hoax.
Uh and I need contemplation.
I need to review how this could possibly have happened.
Why was I not focusing?
Why was I not focused?
Why did this so easily get by me?
And as a result, I have determined that it's I mean, it it's warranted, it's justified, and it'll be very productive.
I am suspending myself from tomorrow's program.
We got Jason.
I don't I deserve to be hard on myself.
This is this is this is how you stay at the top of the heap.
This is how you stay excellent.
To go into deep contemplation to see how this could have happened.
Well, once it happened once, you know, that that you you you very, very frightened it can happen again.
Um so no, no, there's no staff's trying to talk me out of this now, but I'm I'm I'm uh not going.
I'm I'm not benching myself.
I'm not taking myself out of the game.
I'm suspending myself for an egregious error.
Well, call it the penalty box or what have you.
But I will be in deep, deep contemplation tomorrow, and uh I will make sure that things happen to me that make me suffer and pay for this.
So uh we're working now to get a guest host, and I expect that we'll have one lined up before the end of the program.
Audio soundbite time.
By the way, this this next stuff is uh is great.
Let me preface it uh by giving you a little story here of what's going on out in San Francisco.
National civil rights organizations are celebrating the passage by the House of Legislation that would add sexual orientation to a list of federally protected classes.
But some San Francisco groups are not taking part in a party, they're not happy about it.
The are they are the transgender and transsexuals, and uh they're at the back of the bus on this civil rights issue.
The vote on Wednesday in the employment non-discrimination act, also known as ENDA.
End the ENDA was ultimately revised to remove protection for transgender workers, which upset gay rights groups here and across the country.
People are livid, said John Newsom, co-founder of and Castro for All, a bias awareness group.
It's the first step out of the gate, and it leaves people behind.
It's an ill-conceived first step.
Barney Frank was getting tarred and feathered over this.
Uh he told the transgenders and the transsexuals, just take your time.
You're gonna screw up this whole thing.
We'll get this done in steps.
Uh, but they're not listening, they're not happy.
Here's John Lewis, marched with Dr. King, got beat upside the head several times in the Selma march and so forth late yesterday on the uh floor of the House of Representatives.
I for one fought too long and too hard to end discrimination based on race and color, not to stand up against discrimination against our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.
During the 1960s we broke down those signs that's that white and color.
Call it what you may to discriminate against someone because they are gay is wrong, it is wrong, it is not right.
Today we have an Opportunity to bring down more signs.
Now is the time to do what is right.
What is fair?
What is just the time is always right to do right.
Let us pass this bill.
And next up, Barney Frank, a portion of his remarks.
I feel an obligation to 15-year-olds dreading to go to school because of the torments to people afraid they'll lose their job in a gas station if someone finds out who they love.
I feel an obligation to use the status I have been lucky enough to get to help them.
And I want to ask my colleagues here, Mr. Speaker, on a personal basis.
Please don't fall for the sham.
Don't send me out of here having failed to help those people.
Yeah, this is personal.
There are people who are your fellow citizens being discriminated against.
We have a simple bill that says you can go to work and be judged on how you work and not be penalized.
Please don't turn your back on them.
Yep.
San Francisco values uh have been brought to the House of Representatives here, and uh guess who the speaker is?
Speaker's Nancy Pelosi.
It's not that we're tolerant in my district in California and San Francisco.
It's that we have so much respect for the role that each person plays in our society.
So tolerance, maybe.
Respect, definitely.
But let me also add that it is the pride that we take in that diversity, and it's the pride that I take in the gay lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community.
That brings me to the floor today to urge a yes vote on this important legislation.
But it left out the transgenders.
It left out the transsexuals.
Casting this is a civil rights issue.
The transgenders and the transsexuals were told by the House of Representatives to go to the back of the bus.
That's what your House of Representatives was doing yesterday, ladies and gentlemen.
Here's uh Paul in Wichita, Kansas.
Hi, Paul, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
It's good to talk to you.
I want you to know, first of all, that uh uh I have listened to you since August first, when you first started.
I was drafted in 1968.
I served as an infantry officer in Vietnam and bleed red, white, and blue.
My my call is about the principle in Sarasota, Florida, that conscientious objectors should not be lumped together with draft dodgers.
Uh as conservative as I am, there were many conscientious objectors that served in the military, were drafted, and some joined as medics and other noncombatant roles.
A conscientious objector is not necessarily one that avoided the war, but just wouldn't carry a weapon.
So depending on how that uh principal puts portrays the principle.
No, no, no, that's the teacher.
The principal doesn't really know.
The principle says I can't tell a teacher what to teach.
Well, then depending on how the print how the teacher portrays the conscientious objector role.
If they take it from that they did serve, they served proudly, and they served well, then it's not a bad thing.
If he said that a conscientious objector, or he or she say that conscientious objectors are the same things as draft dodgers, then I agree in pulling the children out and uh and not having anything.
Yeah, most people when they hear conscientious objectors think people that went to Canada.
That's exactly the reason that that I decided to give you a call and was lucky enough to get through, because not all conscientious objectors were that way.
In fact, I think there were some conscientious objectors that are very, very highly decorated, either in World War II or Vietnam.
So it just it just depends on how that teacher portrays it.
Well, hope the teacher's informed.
I I do too.
On this aspect of it that you are.
The uh the the knee-jerk reaction people have to it is that we know what's going on in schools today, uh, and we know how anti-military much of the country has become, and we do know that the uh public school system is uh uh well, let's say it's it's uh aiming a little left.
I well, I I agree with that, but uh again, I don't think we should make sure that we don't rump all people like just like all Democrats aren't bad.
Maybe uh not all liberals are bad.
All conscientious some of them are not bad people, but they're dangerous because they're so wrong.
Well, yeah.
But not all conscientious objectors were draft dodgers.
All right, well, I appreciate you calling, Paul.
Well, that's that's all right.
Again, I appreciate listening to you as I drive down the road.
You keep me awake and keep me informed.
Thank you, sir very much.
It's a pleasure to have you on the program.
Todd in Portland.
Hello and welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Ditto, Zel Rushbow.
Thank you.
Hey, regarding the cigarette tax for uh health care here in Oregon.
Yes, it's just a riot hearing our illustrious governor uh we call him tax and goug me here talking about how how confused uh we voters were by the uh tobacco companies which it was the constitutional aspect of it that confused you.
Yeah.
Uh and the tobacco relentless advertising just uh it it turned your brains to mush.
Exact.
What what's really fascinating about it is that there were actually two important statewide ballot measures uh that we voted on.
One was measure 50 associated with the cigarette tax and health care, and the other was measure 49, which was associated with increasing government control over urban growth boundaries and how people could use their property.
That measure, the property measure, giving government government more control, uh also uh won by a twenty-point margin, a 6040 split, just as Measure 50 went down to defeat.
So the same people, uh liberals, if you will, that voted in that election gave government power over uh land use, but were unwilling to give government more power over health care.
Well, well, yeah.
They were being discriminating, but they were also being very liberal on Prop 49 or measure 40.
Very liberal Oh, yeah, I want government to tell me what I can do with my property.
I want government to tell me what color my house has to be or whatever.
I want government to have more power over what I can do with what I own.
Yep.
Very liberal thing, it passes big.
Cigarette tax, health care for kids.
Um this is why I said yesterday that the tax issue is the overriding thing along with illegal immigration, the one of the one of the overriding issues that's going to be big and important uh in the general presidential election next year.
Yeah.
So anyway, but your point is that my point is that that even uh liberals in this state have a limit to how much governmental control they're willing to give, particularly uh as it comes to our pocketbooks and also health care.
Yeah, well, plus it's not it it's it shows they're not stupid.
Exactly.
Which is what the state is saying, what they were confused, I think is what your governor is saying.
Thanks, uh thanks for the call out there, Todd.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Hi.
How are you?
Welcome back.
El Rushmore and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Okay, yesterday on the view, the female chick chat show.
The actor comedian Damon Wayans talking about the Don Eimas situation.
It's freedom of speech.
What happened to that?
What happened to expressing yourself?
I at least I know where he stands.
Yeah.
And you know what?
When he called him Nappy Hetty Hoes, I went, wow.
He's right.
That's not awesome.
I'm a very smart girl.
We say that.
I'm saying the black people can say that about each other.
These girls are not a host.
They rather restricted classes.
You know what?
Black people at home laughing right now.
White people are sitting there going, well, that's not right.
You know, this is all cultural.
It's cultural.
I bet he's right about that.
I bet black people were laughing themselves silly over this whole thing.
Look at how the white people are going nuts over the here's what we can say.
It's true.
He was right.
Um later on, Whoopi Goldberg said, uh you're you're a single guy, but you you said you're having a hard time settling down with a woman.
I don't believe that.
What are you talking about?
Women today, most women I'm running into don't want to do the fundamentals.
They don't cook.
The fundamentals.
Damn it.
It's a game.
It's a joke trying to get a woman.
Why don't I cook?
Because I make the money so she can make something to cook.
Oh, now okay, this is funny.
This is great stuff, but you realize he says this I was not a peep.
They're laughing about it.
They're having a grand old time.
Nobody was offended and so forth.
You let you let somebody else go on that show and say these exact same things, and their career might be over.
But here all these babes are laughing.
There's Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar laughing just like it's uh having a wonderful, wonderful time.
Bill in uh Rupert, Idaho.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Christian veteran of gas guzzling tire smoking dittos, Roger.
Thank you.
Do you sm say it's tire smoking?
Yeah, smoking your tires on my transam and wasting gas.
Oh, oh, I gotcha, gotcha.
I thought there was something new going on that I, on the cutting edge, had not learned about.
Well, this is about the play cook set.
And I I thought if either of my boys had gotten one from another relative, I just painted black, put it outside, call it a barbecue, give him a meat stick cigar, and make some uh offering the glass.
If if I had a little kid, little boy, and he wanted a kitchen set, I'd go buy a hibachi.
And I'd go guy, I'd get some briquettes, and I'd get some lighter fuel, and I'd get a match, and I say, watch this son, and I'd start the fire, and I'd put it out.
You do it.
Cook some steaks.
If you want to go play with pretend little teacups with nothing in them, then we've got a problem.
Uh Doug in San Antonio, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Hey.
Great to talk to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Uh, just wanted to add uh a little bit more information to Paul's call.
Uh the first conscientious objector was a gentleman named Desmond Doss.
And uh he he worked he uh fought in Okinawa in World War II, and he ended up receiving the Medal of Honor for saving about 75 uh fellow soldiers' lives and risking his own to do it.
And uh I feel like that uh the the term is uh uh has a history of honor and it's been uh hijacked, so to speak, by uh There's no question about that.
I certainly hope that this uh fourth grade class tomorrow is going to focus on this aspect of conscientious objectors.
Yeah, I would hope so too.
That's the uh Bey Haven elementary school in Sarasota, Florida.
You know, d let me ask you a question.
You sound very informed on all this.
When you hear uh that on Veterans Day, a fourth grade class is going to be taught about conscientious objectors.
Does it even with the how informed you are, does it make sense?
Well, uh you know, I uh I was never taught about conscience objectors on during during Veterans Day uh celebrations in school.
This is never taught about them.
Yeah, I I I would I would be very suspicious of it.
I I kind of have a uh a background in this because uh Desmond Doss was the Seventh-day Adventist, and I'm a seventh-day adventist, and uh a lot of Adventists uh have served their country in the military as conscientious objectors.
Not all of them do.
I I served in the military and I was not a conscientious objector, but it is something that we're very familiar with because No, no, I understand all that.
I'm just I d the the um with as you know, the anti-war crowd on the left uh is is known for existing in schools and universities and places like this, which is why when we all heard this term, uh the the mother called and said she'd pulled the kid out of the class because they're gonna be taught about conscientious objectors, uh the natural connection to make.
Absolutely.
Anyway, uh I appreciate uh Doug your calling.
Uh thank you so much.
Uh brief time out here, we'll be back.
Uh wrap it up in mere moment.
HR, who did we contact, and who has agreed to serve uh during my suspension tomorrow.
Jason Lewis.
Uh so I um a bad day today, folks.
Uh got got hoaxed on a hoax, corrected it immediately, laughed at myself appropriately over it.
But it really does bother me that I was so able to be hoaxed on something like this, and I must go into deep contemplation uh to try to make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is like when I found the satanic message in the Slim Whitman song.
I thought it was over then.
But I remounted from that and I intend to from this.
So Jason Lewis tomorrow will be back on Monday, uh, all revved up and ready to go, renewed and refreshed.
And I'm looking forward to it.
