Time Text
Okay, yeah, I know.
The views expressed by the host on this show make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying because the views expressed by the host on this show are rooted in a daily relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
It is Friday, so let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And as you can tell by listening on Open Line Friday, pretty much whatever you want to talk about is what we talk about.
The great career risk taken by me.
El Rushbow.
The all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, maharushi.
So whatever it is, when we go to the phones, you own the program.
So be uh be creative out there.
Telephone number if you want to join us, 1-800-282-2882, and the email address is Rush at EIBNet.com.
I want to tell you this again in case you just weren't listening toward the end of the hour.
You know, this the it we need to really go back and chronicle all of the instances of this substance like coffee is going to kill you.
Uh oat bran is going to rejuvenate you.
All of these things that they have said medically over the years.
They're either going to kill you or uh make you more prone to certain illnesses, they really have no clue.
What they are talking about.
The headline here, cholesterol scene tied to heart disease, not stroke.
Researchers aiming to establish whether high cholesterol raises the risk of stroke said yesterday that they were baffled.
Baffled.
Stunned and surprised for those of you in Rio Linda by findings indicating lower cholesterol levels were not linked to reduced stroke deaths.
They said their analysis of 61 previous studies involving almost 900,000 adults can why are you sucking your thumb, Dawn?
She looked like a little Barbie doll.
Why are you sucking your thumb?
It looks so cute.
You look here, you're sucking your thumb.
Pardon the distraction, folks, but I have not lost my place.
900,000 adults conducted mostly in Western Europe and North America clearly show that people with lower total blood cholesterol levels had a lower heart disease death rate.
But the researchers found no relationship between total cholesterol levels and risk of stroke death, especially at older ages and among people with higher blood pressure.
Dr. Sarah Lewington of the University of Oxford in Britain, one of the researchers, stressed that definitive previous research established that drugs called statins, which uh lower low density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called LDL or bad cholesterol, substantially reduce stroke risk.
I think we can all say is that we don't really understand what's going on here, and we need to know more about cholesterol and more about stroke subtypes to find out what's going on.
It really does sound like a blow to scientific consensus here and a lot of a lot of other things.
You know what?
You know what the uh what do you think the foundation besides the quest for human knowledge?
What do you think the foundation for all of these studies and all this research is really all about?
Uh I have a theory about it, uh, and it is this.
I think people have in the in the science and research community and any number of other places really have this belief that we can cheat death.
And everybody wants to live, of course.
And so any time you hear from science or medicine that stopping doing this activity or reducing the amount of that particular food that you eat or taking this particular medication will prolong your life.
All well and good if it's true, but we keep learning more and more that none of what is suspected, i.e., consensus in science actually pans out.
And it's also predicated on the belief that we're all the same.
Which we're not.
We've all got unique DNA, and we all have a different uh we all have different genetic traits.
And we're all going to die.
Some point.
Nobody has nobody has disproven that yet.
But this notion that we can somehow cheat death or extend life with these kinds of things, all well and good, I mean, for people trying to do it, but the but the belief behind it is to me what's unrealistic.
You know, I just had to go get a physical the other day.
And everybody was stunned.
I I don't mind admitting this.
Blood pressure 120 over 70.
Well, that can't be.
Rush, you don't exercise.
Well, it's what it was.
But you don't exercise.
I know, I say happily.
Stress EKG.
Get on the thing of treadmill and they hook you up to all the electrodes and so forth.
Doctor says, and if you start feeling faint, you start, I mean, I you you tell me real quick, average length of time most people spend on this thing three minutes.
And that's fine.
We want to try to get your heart rate up to 139.
We want to keep there for as long as we can.
And but if you if you if you have the slightest bit of disc, I want you to tell me we're gonna stop.
So, okay, Doc.
Eight minutes later, with the heart rate at 149, the doctor says, okay, that's enough.
I want you to sit down.
I want to see what happens to your heart rate after three minutes.
It got down to 75 beats.
You're the doctor.
It's what it says.
But it's not possible because you don't exercise.
I said, I know, proudly.
I just don't like it.
If I felt good doing it, I would do it, but I don't.
I've hated exercise since I could walk.
Wish I could still crawl, in fact.
But it wouldn't look good.
So then it was on to other things.
It's on a blood test and all this stuff, cholesterol.
Normal.
That can't be, Rush.
You're a little overweight.
You're the doctor.
You run the lab.
It is what it is.
What my my point here, ladies and gentlemen, not to brag, is that by all that everybody thinks I should have a foot in the grave right now.
Uh because I don't exercise, because my weight has fluctuated and I've yo-yoed and I've lost a lot and I've gained a lot.
But it's based primarily on the fact that I don't exercise.
I said, well, you know, my grandfather lived to be 104, and he worked until he was 102.
And my uh uncle, still a practicing federal judge, is going to be 80 and it looks 65.
Uh uh we've got some pretty good longevity genes in the family.
Not everybody, but uh they're enough to know that there might be a trend there.
Well, the genes definitely count, the doctor said.
Oh, they do.
That's a hell of an admission.
Genes count.
Some people are not as fortunate.
Some people end up with type 2 diabetes when they're five pounds overweight, some people takes 20.
Some people doesn't take any being overweight, just getting old.
Some people have type one.
They have to shoot up insulin.
Some people are naturally born with a problem toward heart disease, coronary artery disease, what have you.
We're all going to get something.
Something gonna happen to all of us, whether we eat oat bran, or that we take these statins, or what have you.
Uh I am not advocating not taking care of yourself, folks.
I'm not suggesting that at all.
Uh I'm only suggesting that for me.
Because not taking care of myself has proved extremely beneficial.
We'll be back.
Rush Limbaugh, the most dangerous man in America here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Open line Friday.
How can this be?
Oil prices fell today to below $90 a barrel.
On expectations that OPEC will decide to increase output at its meeting next week, and as concerns of a supply disruption from a U.S. pipeline fire abated.
Well, this is good news.
Oil's going, this is not supposed to happen.
Oil's supposed to keep going on.
People were talking about a hundred bucks a barrel, 200 bucks a barrel, but crude prices are coming down.
I fully expect, folks, that by the time you leave work this afternoon, uh a full 25 cents will be off the pump price and when you left home this morning.
Eh.
Just kidding.
But remember when the price was shooting up and the oil price was shooting up, the gasoline price held steady for a while.
And that was because of market forces as well.
Now, we talked about this uh when it happened not long ago.
Remember the the scientists that discovered uh a way to create the equivalent of embryonic stem cells without having to create and destroy embryos.
And this is wonderful news.
It's absolutely fabulous, fabulous news.
And yet the embryonic stem cell crowd is not happy.
Michael Kinsley today in a column warns all of us, if you think this issue is going away, you got another thing coming.
This issue isn't gonna go away, meaning using embryos for embryonic stem cell research when it isn't necessary.
It isn't gonna go away.
Because he doesn't admit this.
The reason it's not gonna go away is because the whole issue is not it's not about embryonic stem cells, and I'm sorry, Mr. Fox, it's not about Parkinson's disease, not about anything else, about abortion.
It's about women's rights, and it's about making sure that nobody can tell a woman what she can or can't do, and it's also about cheapening life because this is what the left is interested in, where abortion is concerned.
You can't say uh it is anything else.
But if you don't need embryos, if you don't need to create and destroy embryos to get embryonic stem cells, why should the issue not just go away?
And by the way, if I may be self-indulgent for a moment, and I know you'll accept this because I very rarely am self-indulgent.
I want to take you back to the Michael J. Fox television commercials during the 06 congressional campaign.
Uh I refused, even during that that hubbub and that flap to let the critics, my critics, shut me up on this.
Uh on the uh two things on the concept of embryonic stem cells being, you know, uh uh one of these uh it's just like it's just like high cholesterol will give you a stroke.
Now we're being told that only embryonic stem cells can cure people like Christopher Reeve, whoever else.
Uh remember what that was all about.
That was it was about two things.
It was about protecting the sanctity of life and making sure also that people, uh when they enter the political arena don't get away with making claims that aren't true because they're sick or what have you.
Uh so principles or principles, uh instincts or instincts.
Always trust both.
Really, folks.
Unless your instincts are well, no, trust them.
Try it.
Try trusting your You know what your instincts are?
Your instincts, that little inner voice.
Your conscience or what have you.
Always trust your instincts.
Try it.
Most people don't have the guts to trust themselves.
Well, go ask other people what they think they ought to do.
Try tusting trusting your instincts once.
And once you once you find that it works, you'll find out you don't have to listen to as many people to find out what you ought to do or say or uh think.
Judy in uh Silex, Missouri.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Yes, fresh, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
I am the ultimate conservative, as are all my children.
Thank you.
I have four of them.
I wanted to talk about taxing the rich.
It may be worse than you even imagine.
Since you have no children, you may not be aware that after you earn a certain amount you can no longer claim your dependence.
Well, I'm aware of it.
I have a son who started his own business.
He's been very successful.
I don't know exactly how much he makes, but he says he pays hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
He has four children and a wife with an incurable disease.
Yet he's not allowed to claim any of them as dependents.
And you know, once you pass a certain income threshold, it's the same thing with a lot of other deductions as well.
Charitable deductions, the percentage you're allowed to take, interest deductions.
Uh uh for example, uh nobody's gonna have any sympathy with this, which is why nobody talks about it, Judy.
Uh I'll never forget Andy Grove, who uh uh was the CEO of Intel at the time Clinton proposed a cap of uh the deductibility of one million dollars on CEO salaries.
He was on this week with David Brinkley, and he was asked about it.
I I I I don't want to answer these social questions, so it's not why me.
He didn't want to talk about uh these kinds of things because he knew that nobody's gonna have any sympathy.
But for example, I don't know, I don't know how much money you're talking about here in terms of uh what you earn and what your uh what your son earns and so forth, but I'll tell you this.
He made his own way because my husband and I, who I lost about three months ago, never earned over fifty thousand dollars between the two of us.
Right.
And we raised four children on that.
They all work their way through college, working several jobs, so on.
You're from Missouri, and I totally understand it.
But just give you an example of and again, I'm I'm not I'm I don't expect I'm even this is not a personal example of mine.
I'm just gonna give you an example from the tax code.
I don't expect anybody to be sympathetic to it.
I just want to tell you about it to inform you.
If you happen to have enough money to want to go out and buy, say, a ten million dollar house, but you have to borrow some to buy it, or even a five million, let's say a five million dollar house.
And let's say you put down a million and you borrow four.
You can only deduct one million dollars on your mortgage.
You know, that that once you reach it, maybe a little higher now, but what you're only allowed to deduct a million dollars, not your whole mortgage, not the the the interest on what you're paying.
So if you if you uh put down a million to buy something cost five, and you're therefore paying off four million, you can only uh get a so-called tax deduction on on one million of it.
Charitable donations.
Uh something, it's a sliding scale.
The max you get is fifty percent and slides down after that.
Uh so no, this is this is uh things are not well known because there aren't a whole lot of people in these brackets at this kind of income paying this.
But but uh I'll bet you the income threshold for your son to lose the standard deduction for his uh the exemption for his children to dependence is not really that much, right?
No.
I think it's around a million dollars.
Gross.
Yes.
That means actually something like uh just on federal, then he's looking at something like uh sixty-four net, something like that.
Uh sixty six hundred and forty thousand dollars net, and then the state taxes and then all the other taxes, property taxes and so forth.
So he's he's probably down that that million gross is probably just over a little half million, and he can't claim his four kids as dependents.
And like I said, he's got a wife with an incurable disease.
Right.
A lot of medical bills, and you know, he can look forward to no help at all, you know, low no loans, no grants for his kids to go to college or anything.
Look, it I I appreciate your calling and telling me this.
And I want to I want to draw a distinction here.
Uh you have this this is I'm I'll make an assumption.
Uh Judy here is not crying over spilt milk.
This is money that her son is earning.
Um, and he's so much of it is already being taxed.
But because he earns gross X amount, he doesn't get the deductions or the d the for the uh dependents, his kids, uh, and so forth.
He nobody's asking him, this is not fair, we need to make this right.
Not a charity case here.
This is a clear example of how somebody who's earning it is having it taken away by government, who at the same time is saying he doesn't need, he's got more than he needs.
And he needs to even be paying higher taxes.
And because his tax cuts have been uh granted to him since Bush enacted them, that poor people are staying poor.
So your son, while being savaged by the U.S. tax code at the same time, is being blamed for not paying enough for getting unfair tax breaks, and for denying others who have less a chance to earn more.
So people like your son are our enemies.
Class envy.
There are people in the country who look at people like your son without knowing the specifics and think this guy needs to be gotten even with.
It's not fair.
And so when people talk about raising taxes on people like your son, they're all for it.
Back in a second.
Okay, couple volunteers are being held by an armed man at Clinton headquarters in Rochester, New Hampshire.
Lots of stuff being reported.
Got a bomb, uh, what looks like a bomb strapped to himself, and is demanding to speak to Mrs. Clinton.
Uh now this is it, this would be a great opportunity for the lessons of diplomacy to be taught and illustrated.
Uh negotiations.
Uh and of course, Mrs. Clinton is uh the authority figure.
She's an American so on.
It's got obviously this is her fault.
Well, I mean, every enemy of ours, it's our fault that they hate us.
Uh, and so uh Mrs. Clinton needs to get on the phone with this guy and ask him, well, why do you hate me?
Or why do you hate us?
Why what what what is your problem?
What can I do to make you like me?
I mean, this is what we're told a Democrats want to do in foreign policy.
Let's see it working uh practical applications.
Here's Rick Frostburg, Maryland.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Ah, Rush.
Hey.
Thanks for taking a call.
You bet.
I got a question or a uh a comment to make on a dog and Tony show in New York uh the other night, and they met that Christmas tree up.
They have an 84-foot Christmas tree.
And they make a big deal about it being a green tree.
Of course, it's it's a it's a Christmas tree.
It might be green anyway.
But anyway, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're talking about the rock center tree?
Yeah, the rock center tree, yeah.
Okay.
And they make such a big deal about it, they cut it down by hand.
But they didn't say anything about the 50-ton crane was probably holding it up, burn and diesel fuel out of yang yang.
So, how much do you think they saved uh uh making all that noise about this?
Well, you know, that this is what this this is what's so asinine, but we've got a well, what's a green tree?
Well, what really is a green tree?
That it it it uh this is just I've got a global warming stack.
You are you in fact you are going to be the catalyst for me getting into it.
Because this this uh it it took it took a lot of carbon footprint to transport that green tree to Rockefeller Center took a lot of electricity to hang that green tree to put it up, it's gonna take a lot of electricity for the lights in that green tree.
So however green the tree was, it's been canceled out with a massive footprint to get it there and to make it look like a Christmas tree at the Rock Center skating rink.
So let's just go to the global warming stack.
I know we had these uh 600 reasons yesterday, but it's it just it is just ridiculous.
Uh uh if if I were you and you believed in global warming, man-made global, I would be embarrassed to admit it.
Let me just give you the headlines.
This is from the Inquirer.net.
It's from Brazil.
UN world has only 10 years to fix climate.
Wait a minute.
It was just two weeks ago we had a story from the UN that it's irreversible already.
And six months before that we had a story it was irreversible.
And in 1988, Ted Danson told us we only had 10 years to fix the oceans.
In 1984, Michael Oppenheimer on this week with Brinkley said we only got 20 years to solve global warming, or we have well, that was twenty three years ago.
It's always ten years.
It's always we've only got ten years.
Here's another one.
As climate alarmists around the world head to a tropical paradise on Bali next we discuss.
Oh, can I tell you how this is going to work?
There's a UN conference on the environment, Kyoto and so forth, and they're doing it in Bali.
Bali high.
They're all going to fly there on their corporate jets.
Now, there's nothing wrong with that.
Well, it there is.
They're they're hypocrites.
They're going to fly there on their corporate jets.
Now, wait.
There is only parking space at the airport in Bali for 15 of them.
So most of the private jets from around the world, from all these people that care so much about the environment, are going to have to be ferried.
Mean it the term is when you fly an airplane empty, deadhead it.
You have to deadhead that plane to a nearby island where they have an airport with larger parking space.
Which means if nobody is on that plane except the crew, you got a deadhead over, and then for as long as the conference is keep it over there, then you got a deadhead back to pick up your rich passenger owner.
You are burning fossil fuels, jet fuel, for no reason.
Nobody aboard, you're not transporting anyway anybody.
They are making a mockery of all this.
They they criticize all these people and their carbon footprint, and then of course they've got to house the crews of all their planes over at the other airport.
Uh it's and their bodyguards and their staff and all this.
Well, in this case, just the crew.
So it's a it's an absolute joke when they can go into a place that holds 15 parking space, you know, a ramp big enough for 15 jets.
And this island is, I think it's, you know, it's it's enough that it's uh how far away?
Uh oh, and the worst thing you can do on an airplane is what's called a short cycle.
Well, that's not the worst thing you can do, but the last thing you want to do is have a little jump that is 30 minutes, 30 miles or whatever, because a takeoff and landing is a cycle.
The plane goes through pressurization or not pressurization, depending on altitude, and that to put stress in the airframe and so forth.
So you like long hauls.
You like coast-to-coast hauls for a cycle, and so forth, and efficiency.
Fuel, they're gonna burn so much fuel because they're not going to get to altitude because this jumps not that far away, but still they're gonna be deadheading all these airplanes.
I mean, something seventy-five or eighty airplanes are gonna be deadheading to this other island, empty.
Anyway, as climate alarmists around the world head to a tropical paradise next week to discuss how developed nations should pay to solve global warming.
An inconvenient truth has emerged.
Many countries that are part of the Kyoto Protocol are going to dramatically overshoot their greenhouse gas emissions limits, meaning none of them are gonna make the Kyoto limits that they've signed on to.
While it seems a metaphysical certitude that America's green media will largely boycott such relations so as not to put a damper on the hysterical proceedings in Bally, the fact that taxpayers in countries missing these targets will end up footing the bill also appears likely to be ignored, as reported by Bloomberg.
Japan, Italy, and Spain face fines of as much as $33 billion combined for failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as promised under the Kyoto Treaty.
You understand what this is.
The Kyoto Accord from the get-go has been a fleece.
Put emissions standards that are impossible for an industrialized growing economy to meet, when they don't meet them, fine them.
That makes it all better.
But who's paying the fine?
Taxes are gonna go up in Japan, Italy, and Spain to pay for this.
And I hope the citizens over there who are green and think they're really helping the planet feel good about the taxes are gonna be UN fleecing, Western democracies, and productive nations.
$33 billion just from those three countries.
You imagine what our fine would be if we were a member of Kyoto.
If nothing is done to combat global warming, two of Florida's nuclear power plants, three of its prisons, and 1,362 hotels, motels, and inns will be underwater by 2100.
A study released on Wednesday said, In all, Florida could stand to lose $345 billion a year in projected economic activity by 2100 if nothing is done to reduce emissions that are viewed as the main human contribution to rising global temperatures, according to the Tufts University study.
and So to put this in perspective, let me put this in perspective for you.
Ninety-three years ago, Woodrow Wilson was in his first term.
Woodrow Wilson, I know many of those.
Who?
Woodrow Wilson, not to mention the Soviet Union and commercial radio had yet to come into existence.
One hundred years from now, ninety-three years from now, they have no clue what they are talking about.
This is and the formulaic nature of perpetuating the myth and the hoax.
You know, Florida's got a much bigger problem right now than global warming.
You know what it is?
You know what you got, you're all Floridians in there.
You know what Florida's biggest problem right now?
Not like a water.
That's number two.
And that's only in South Florida.
The biggest problem, Florida, if we were on the verge of real economic problems because of the property tax structure in this state.
Our property taxes are very high, but the snowbirds, the people that live here, uh half the year or less, their property taxes skyrocket.
And they're refusing to come because they can't afford it anymore.
It you travel around this state and you'll find restaurants shuttered this time of year in the season.
I had a friend in this morning who says, I was done at Fort Lauderdale.
I could not believe hotels were shut.
I could not believe it.
That's property tax.
People just aren't showing up.
Um there was an exodus.
Uh it was exodus from the Northeast.
What are you laughing at in there?
What are you laughing at?
Mm-hmm.
Well, the friend was in Fort Lauderdale, too.
The Frenchman friend hadn't had a dinner down there at a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale.
Friend gets around.
At any rate, uh there was a an exodus in the Northeast and all the 800 people a day moving in.
That's that's dried up.
Uh there's a that's far more immediate concern than 100 years or 93 years from now, global warming?
Closing all these hotels.
UN, climate change threatens millions of poor people.
Floods, droughts, and other climate disasters will rob millions of children of the decent meals and schools they need, unless rich nations, i.e.
the United States, pony up 86 billion by 2015 to help the poor adapt to global warming.
This is journalistic malpractice.
This is an AP story.
If you want to help the poor adapt to global warming, put them on the path to becoming wealthy.
Let them build cleaning plants and transition systems that help them go from being poor to wealthy instead of making them continue to live in squalor.
But see, 86 billion dollars from us will rob millions of children.
You know what's robbing millions of children of the decent meals and schools they need?
Liberalism, dictatorships, socialism.
People like Robert Newgabe and Hugo Chavez.
That's who's robbing children in the world today, not the United States.
Study.
Canadian beer drinkers threaten planet.
The government commission study says the old inefficient beer refrigerators that one in three Canadian households use to store their beer contribute significantly to global warming by guzzling gas and coal-fired electricity.
Welcome back.
Jack Mertha has clarified his remarks, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's go back to the audio tape.
This um yesterday, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Mertha held a video conference with reporters to talk about his recent trip to Iraq.
I I think I think the surge is is working.
House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee Chairman Mertha has taken the unusual step of publicly clarifying his remark that the surge is working in Iraq now.
Uh I knew this is, you know, you just know that Nancy Pelosi had steam and smoke coming out of her ears.
The clarification came after House Republicans circulated an article about Mertha's comments written in Friday's edition of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette after the teleconference from Mertha's Johnstown office.
In addition to saying the surge is working, Mirtha called the Iraqi government dysfunctional and said the thing that has to happen is the Iraqis have to do this themselves.
We can't win it for them.
So this morning, Mertha issued the following statement through his spokesman.
The military surge has created a window of opportunity for the Iraqi government.
Unfortunately, the sacrifice of our troops has not been met by the Iraqi government, and they have failed to capitalize on the political and diplomatic steps that the surge was designed to provide.
The fact remains the war in Iraq cannot be won militarily, and that we must begin an orderly redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq as soon as practicable.
Play number seven again, Mr. Broadcast Engineer.
I I think I think the surge is is working.
That just can't stand in the Democrat Party.
I mean, some Democrats might be able to say it and not have Nancy Pelosi go nuts.
When Mertha says it, he has to clarify.
So he's he's made a pointed effort to uh get this clarification out, and he has done so, and there will be nobody convince me otherwise that somebody he was taken to the woodshed.
He was taken to the woodshed by Pelosi and her minions in there in the speaker's office.
Brad in Topeka, Kansas.
Welcome to the EIB network.
I have an honor to talk to you, Rush.
Thank you.
I was just uh I was wondering when did you first use the phrase drive-by medium and uh for what reason and what where did you come up with that?
Uh, when did I first gosh, I don't know.
It's been uh it's probably over a year now.
Uh drive is just it's the perfect illustration of what they do.
Right.
You know what a drive-by shooting is.
Sure.
You got a bunch of renegades in a car and they drive into a crowd and they start spraying bullets around, and then they head on down the highway, they make a total mess of things, they ruin some people, they kill some people in the case of drive-by shootings, they head on down the highway and they do it again.
Meanwhile, other people have to clean up the mess.
Drive-by media is the same way.
They come in with their cameras and their microphones and their news reporting, and they create an absolute mess.
They scare the hell out of people.
They they they uh uh literally cause carnage.
Their actions sometimes are destructive and ruinous to individuals.
They kill the reputations of people or try to, and then they head on, they get in a convertible, they head on down the highway, and they find the next group of people to do the same thing to, while there are those of us who have to go in and clean up the mess.
Okay, well, I I completely agree with you.
I was just I was curious, though, the origin or when you first started using that, but that answers my question.
Why?
Is somebody stolen it from me?
Oh no, no, no way.
Well, just checking.
I'm not sure when I started.
I mean, it could have been a year and a half ago.
Time flying.
Right.
Okay, but it was before it was before was this uh.
Well, I'll give you a I don't know.
Katrina's a great example of it.
Katrina is a great example of drive-by media.
Go in there.
What'd you say, HR?
You know all of the rapes, all the murders, all of the uh all the destruction inside the the uh superdome that didn't happen.
All the rescues that weren't taking place.
Uh great example there of drive-by media.
