I'm waiting for you to turn the microphone on because I can't turn it on myself up here without violating strict union rules.
By the way, I've always been a big supporter of the Screeners Union, which covers the broadcast engineers.
It's like, greetings, my friends.
Oh, you have the bars.
There we go.
Sorry for your ditto cameras.
Forgot to turn the bars back on.
It's totally inadvertent when I forget to turn them back on.
Greetings and welcome back.
We're here at the EIB net.
By the way, the bars, for those of you wondering what this is, if you are a subscriber to my website, you can watch the program each day via the DittoCam.
And we send out color bars before we activate the camera each day, before the show start.
And sometimes during the breaks, I'll turn the bars on because, I know, I got some privacy here.
Yeah, I'm exempt from the union, and I can put the bars up myself since I'm the only one who's got the button.
And I sometimes forget to just turn them back on.
Highly trained broadcast specialists, especially on the bars button.
So anyway, it's purely accidental.
I forget to turn the bars back on.
Greetings and welcome back.
Here's the phone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882, the email address, El Rushbo, Elrushbo at EIBnet.com.
So during the break, what I was doing, I was watching the endorsement of Senator McCain by Governor Schwarzenegger in California.
What a picture this was.
You had Schwarzenegger up there at the microphone.
He was doing his endorsing.
You had Rudy on the left of the screen.
You had McCain on the right side of the screen, smiling and nodding, and Schwarzenegger was endorsing McCain.
And he starts out talking about solar panels.
Apparently, they're at a plant, a factory that makes solar panels.
Then Schwarzenegger started talking about how we got to reduce CO2 levels to 1990 levels.
Ain't possible.
Number one, it's not possible because we all exhale.
And there are more of us.
But beyond that, it isn't possible.
People have signed on to the Kyoto Accords, have tried it, and they're in arrears.
They can't do the old big fines to the UN, blah, That formed the basis of the endorsement of Senator McCain by Governor Schwarzenegger.
And I'm looking at the picture, and I'm seeing McCain surrounding himself with the left wing of our party.
These guys are Republicans, but they're the left wing of our party.
So he just got the endorsement of a big taxing, big spending, socialist healthcare, eco-extreme governor who says the Republican Party needs to follow him to the left.
Now, we've had all these soundbites today about how McCain needs to reach out to conservatives.
All these pundits say that if he has a prayer, he's got to reach out to conservatives.
And he's embracing here, been embraced by Schwarzenegger, who has done a Kennedy Shriver 180 and has gone full-fledged left out in California.
So McCain got the Schwarzenegger-Shriver-Kennedy endorsement today from the governor of California.
Sam Donaldson weighed in on this on Good Morning America today.
They were talking about this Schwarzenegger endorsement.
And Diane Sawyer said to Donaldson, yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger going to weigh in for McCain.
Big impact out there, Sam.
Some impact on the margins.
But remember, McCain needs conservatives in Republican ranks to believe that, okay, he's conservative enough.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger is not the guy that used to have Rush Limbaugh.
Well, that's right.
I mean, just add Donaldson to the list of pundits out there who are saying McCain, if he needs to go all the way, is going to have to build a bridge to conservatives.
And he didn't do that with his endorsement of Schwarzenegger.
But look, he thinks it's going to help him in the California election on Super Duper Tuesday.
Let's stick with the audio soundbites.
The Today Show Today, Matt Wauer talking to Chris Matthews.
Matt Wauer said, Schwarzenegger, not going to do anything for the conservatives who still doubt this guy because of his stance on taxes and immigration.
He's still got three problems: the regulars who work in the fields for the Republican Party, the radio people, and the right, the Rush Limbaugh crowd, they don't like this guy.
And that movement conservative crowd are not going to like him.
The question is: will they get in line?
The old line is: Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line, Republicans are now in the process of falling in line.
They're not going to like it, but it looks like they're going to accept McCain as their guy.
That's Chris Matthews on the Today Show Today with Matt Wauer.
Now, the drive-by's next way in.
This is last night on ABC's World News tonight: an exchange between the reporter Ron Claiborne and former Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd, talking about McCain's win in Florida.
Even as the odds-on-favor to be the GOP nominee, McCain still faces stiff opposition.
He basically is not going to answer to anybody, especially the conservative pundits or the conservigentsia, and they don't like that.
You know, I've seen this.
Matthew Dowd said this a bunch of times.
Basically, what he's saying is that people like me, Hannity, Levin, others on our side, that we've got our noses out of joint because McCain won't respond to us, or McCain won't answer to us.
And I don't know, you know, somebody like that that's given an opportunity to do commentary on TV has got to get a little bit more informed.
This is a guy that worked for Bush and Cheney.
And look at what a lack of understanding even he has about the way his own party and base work.
This is not personal.
Anybody who thinks that this is about ego is just insane and is missing what really is going on and is missing the whole purpose of this program.
You know, we on this program are devoted to ideology and principle and ideas.
We are devoted to the concept of a more informed, engaged, educated public participating in the political process.
But then they're free to do what they do.
Nobody gives marching orders here, and nobody, look, I can't speak for others.
There may be some people out there who've got ego problems who want to have these guys respond to them, politicians respond to them so they get attention.
I don't know anybody that's that way, but there may be, but it ain't here.
And I know that's not Hannity's pay.
Hannity doesn't say what he says just to make sure these guys snap to and pay attention.
It's not what we're doing.
Hey, Tom, how are you in there?
Broadway actor who helped me when the, what was it?
The Will Rogers Follies.
Yeah, play Wiley Post.
Absolutely.
That was fun backstage after that, wasn't it, Tom?
Remember that outside the stage door, accosted by many of the crew?
No, it wasn't women.
Ask Tom, he'll tell you.
I don't want to get into it here behind the golden EIB microphone.
Just a bunch of guys came up to me and said, you've caused us a lot of pain.
And then a couple women did come and shoot them.
Oh, you guys, shut up, move on.
And they were just people who have been there watching the play.
I have not lost my place here.
But the idea that I'm doing what I'm doing to get my ego satisfied because these guys respond to me is absurd.
I don't even have that as an objective.
I don't have, I do not.
And somebody like Matthew Dowd, who's been working for Bush Cheney, should know this.
The objective here of this program and many on talk radio is simply to service the audience, to build the audience, to hold it, attract as large a crowd as you can, hold on to it for as long as you can so as to charge confiscatory advertising rates.
It's a business.
You couple that with honesty, principled expression of ideas, and the whole concept of keeping people informed, educated, engaged, and have that number of people grow and have them participate in the political process.
I think it's the people who make the country work.
Not these guys.
These guys are our obstacles.
I don't care who they are.
We have to get past these guys when they want to raise taxes, when they want to put regulations on our business, when they want to talk about the fairness doctrine on talk radio.
We have to work past these guys.
Say that trying to curry ego favor is absurd.
But, you know, it may be that that's what the McCain camp thinks.
Yeah, and I'm not going to respond that way.
It's not going to happen, Limbaugh.
You want me to act like I care about peon, Limbaugh.
I'm the big guy.
If that's what they're thinking in the campaign, they may be.
Who knows?
We got to get to the Clintons here.
I mean, at some point, I got your phone calls.
I got more audio sound bites involving me.
This front page story on the Times with Clinton and this mining guy from Canada, Frank Justra, flying around all over the world in his MD87.
We hear that the Clintons don't care about money.
They keep telling us how rich they are, that they don't need the tax cuts, that they really don't care about money.
The Clintons don't care about money, like vacuum cleaners don't care about dust.
I know, just reading a note here.
You know, HR made a good point here during the break, trusty aide-de-camp chief of staff.
He said, you know, these idiots like Matthew Dowd, who, by the way, just so you know, Matthew Dowd split with the president about a year, year and a half ago, and came out in the New York Times with this vicious piece.
Bush is not the man I once thought he was.
He's not the man that I knew.
And it's all wrong in the war in Iraq and so forth.
He just become a big moderate lib Republican.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
He's the guy that says, the only thing wrong with Limbaugh is that McCain's not answering to me.
Folks, HR made a good point.
You ought to see, he said, people ought to see your face when I tell you Congressman A or Senator B is on the phone.
You grimace, you roll your eyes.
I do.
He comes in here or I get an email, such and such, Congressman B wants to bend your.
Oh, no.
That's the last thing that I want to do, especially when they want to get on the pro.
We all tell them no.
So it's cockeyed.
People have been waiting on the phones.
Up next on the soundbites.
In fact, let's get this.
Soundbite number 11.
And this will wrap up the media tour of me last night.
This is Hardball with Chris Matthews.
Joe Scarborough is on.
And Matthews says, Rush Limbaugh today, hitting McCain, said he's not the choice of conservatives as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment.
And that distinction is key.
Why is that key, Joe?
Well, it's key because the Republican establishment supported Gerald Ford in 1976.
The Republican establishment supported Bob Dole in 1996.
The Republican establishment can support whoever they want to support, but unless you have the conservative movement behind the candidate, that candidate always loses.
Amen.
Amen.
Scarborough knows it, backs it up with facts.
This is why these pundits are saying McCain's going to eventually have to move right.
If he has to move right, where is he in the first place?
But he's still continuing to move left.
And that comes, go back one more.
We've got to find, let's go back in the soundbite roster because number five.
People, this kind of flew by.
You might not have missed this because it's pretty short, 16 seconds.
Kelly O'Donnell on Hardball last night telling Matthews about a conversation she had with Senator McCain about me.
I asked him about Rush Limbaugh.
He did not use Rush's name, but said the party has to unite and people have to come to terms with that to have any hope in November.
And he said he acknowledged that Democrats have higher favorability on issues.
Those were his words.
Democrats have higher favorability ratings on issues.
Now, you might go, what does that mean?
Well, to me, it means that Senator McCain is interested in pleasing people who give Democrats higher approval or favorability ratings on issues.
After all, it's about getting elected.
And with Senator McCain, we know it's not about being conservative or appealing to conservatives, despite the fact these people say that he's going to.
So if you go out and if you want to get elected and you see that Democrats get higher favorability ratings on certain issues, and if you're John McCain, I'm sure it's pretty tempting to you to adopt positions similar to Democrats so that the favorability Democrats have will also extend to you, Senator McCain.
Here's Wayne and Colleen, Texas.
Wayne, glad you called.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Rush, it's a great thrill to talk to you.
I've been listening to you since I was a young sergeant in the Army, and now that I'm a retired warrant officer and working for the government again in support of our military, it's an absolute thrill.
You've always been there for us.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Now, as your screener probably told you, I am supporting John McCain, and I would like to just say why for a second, and I hope you'll hear me out.
Okay.
John McCain represents an opportunity for us, I think, to unite the country on the premier issue of our times, and that is the international war on terror, which Iraq is definitely part of.
We can't possibly risk having a Hillary Clinton or a Barack Obama pull our troops out of there when we are so close to winning.
John McCain represents an opportunity for us to win the election, and we're all on the same team here, Rush.
Romney, you would definitely have my vote should McCain not win the election.
But I think McCain represents a possibility, although not likely with the Democrats the way they are, a possibility of unity, at least for a brief period of time.
And that's what I have to say.
Okay.
Interesting point.
Two things.
Let me write down unity so I don't forget to go back to this.
All right.
Let's go down.
It's McCain and Romney, but let's include Huckabee here.
Do you have any doubt that Romney or Huckabee would not stay the course in the war on terror and the war at Iraq?
I have little doubt of that.
No, I think they would.
No doubt.
Okay.
But you do have some doubt about Obama and Hillary.
Yes, I do.
Okay.
They've stated it, Rush.
I mean, they're clear about it.
They've stated their intentions, and I take them at their word.
They've stated both sides of it.
And in a debate back in December, I think it might have been November, but they were asked point blank: can you pledge that all the troops will be out of Iraq by 2012?
In other words, four years after you take office.
Neither Edwards nor Hillary nor none of them, except Kucinich, none of them said, I'll make that pledge.
Because the dirty little secret, I know I overused that phrase.
The dirty little secret is there is no Democrat presidential candidate who is going to saddle himself or herself and his party with defeat in the war in Iraq and the war on terror while they're in the White House.
They would love to have been able to pressure Bush.
They're not going to be able to do that.
They would have loved to have been able to pressure Bush to get the troops out so they could say, Bush lost the war.
Bush admits it was horrible.
It's a big mistake.
But when they're in power, they're in the White House.
I'll guarantee you they are not going to pull troops out of there unless they can claim that victory has been had.
I guarantee you.
So there's no candidate other than Kucinich.
But of the four that remain, Romney, well, let's throw Huckabee in there.
Huckabee, Romney, McCain, Hillary Obama, all five are going to leave troops where they are.
Well, I understand your point there, and you may be correct.
I won't challenge that.
But the message they're sending is surely one of doubt.
The message that the people that are voting for them.
I'm not saying that there's no difference here between Hillary and Obama and McCain and Romney on this.
I'm just suggesting.
That heartens our enemies, Rush.
That gives our enemies, that strengthens our enemies.
That gives them hope.
I know the Democrats are the party of al-Qaeda.
I understand this.
The Democrats are the party of Mahmoud Achmadiniza.
I understand this.
Let me go because time is drifting by here quickly.
I want to go back to your unity comedy question.
Because you're obviously a very serious guy.
You're a member of the U.S. military, been in the front lines.
You've been in harm's way.
We all have, most of us in this country, profound respect and awe for you.
And you and your comrades are owed a debt that most of us will never be able to repay it.
And you sound like a serious guy.
This concept of unity, are you speaking of it strictly in terms of unity in the war on terror, war on Iraq, all of the issues that face us on national security?
Do you really think that's important and that McCain is the only guy who can take some of these fringe kooks on the left and some of these Democrats who've made their lives famous on the basis of being anti-war and turn them to unity with the national security crowd such as yourself?
McCain's the only guy that can do that.
Sir, I'm not saying he's the only guy that can do that, but what I am saying is when you're in a fight, any hesitation by your enemy is an opportunity.
If McCain is elected president, there will be pause.
There will be a moment in which we can seize upon to gain some measure of unity in our effort to extract this war and win it.
And all I'm asking for is that opportunity.
We don't need the divisiveness that is giving our enemy hope.
That is my point.
And I certainly understand where you're coming from because I would, if I know how irritated I am at the left and have been, if I wore the uniform like you do, I can't imagine how literally angry and disgusted I would be with having to put up with some of the anti-war, anti-military sabotage attacks that have been made against you, your comrades, and your commander-in-chief.
However, I know, I understand that.
That's why I'm taking you very seriously here.
But at the same time, I think, well, this is just my opinion.
I'm not going to predict it, but I think that no matter who the president is, whether it's Hillary, whether it's Romney, Obama, or McCain, that group of people that have been so disgusting, the Cindy she hands, I mean, she's sort of a cartoon now, but these people out there who have done everything they can to sabotage victory, they are anti-war by virtue of DNA, by virtue of blood.
And if I tell you, they are going to turn on McCain just as they would turn on their own president, their own party, or George Bush.
They're always going to be with us.
We'll be back.
Ha!
How are you, Rush Limbaugh?
Highly trained broadcast specialist making it look easy.
Do not attempt this at home.
Now, we just had an interesting call, a conversation with a decorated military man.
And I understand where you military guys are coming from.
You're fed up with all of this division in the country, people attacking you, the mission of Commander-in-Chief and so forth.
Those people, in fact, I think, I know it's a secondary concern.
Your concern is winning the war, sticking to it, and you think McCain's pretty best guy for that.
The secondary thing is this unity business.
I would punt the unity.
It isn't going to happen.
These people, they're liberal Democrats, and when the rubber meets the road, they hate Republicans.
Even if they're McCain.
Folks, you wait.
If McCain ends up being a nominee, you're going to see the drive-bys and the Democrat opposition research people releasing stuff about this guy that's being held back now because they want him to be the nominee.
If you think that this unity business is going to take place, you do not know the left in this country.
You do not know the enemy.
Did Eisenhower get unity?
No.
Did Nixon get unity?
No.
Reagan get unity?
No.
Bush 41 get unity?
No.
Bush 43 get unity?
No.
Did Kennedy get unity?
No.
JFK, did LBJ get unity?
No.
When the country's at war, the anti-war crowd is going to perk up and a lot of them in the media.
But one other thing that I would like to ask those of you who are military and you know of my profound deep respect and all for you in the decades of support on this program.
But I would like to ask you about McCain's support for closing Club Gitmo.
Senator McCain wants to shut down Guantanamo Bay because of abuses that the Europeans are accusing us of committing.
And wants to appease the Europeans and whoever the hell else around the world thinks that we are committing torture.
These are the people with whom we are at war.
We have gleaned operational intelligence from people at Guantanamo.
Waterboarding gave us everything we needed to know about the 9-11 mastermind and hijackings and the strategy and the operations of it.
Waterboarding, not torture.
The Attorney General was put on the spot yesterday again in hearings and said, he told these guys at the committee, screw you.
They didn't use these words.
He didn't back down.
He's not, no, waterboarding is not torture.
I'm not going to tie my government's hands.
He said, I would love to, you know, institute my personal preferences on these kind of things, gentlemen, but I am the Attorney General of the United States, and my first duty is the defense and protection of constitutionaires.
I am not going to just, by fiat, tie my country's hands dealing with this enemy.
Senator McCain wants to do that.
He wants to bring these prisoners of war into the United States, give them constitutional rights and lawyers, and basically fight the war in the court system.
So on the one hand, Senator McCain sounds all gung-ho.
I'm for the surge in this sort of thing.
But if you look, some of the other things that he's trying to cut down on the interrogations that take place, I mean, isn't that part of the war?
The internal security of the country?
I mean, we were attacked here on 9-11 after all.
I don't think we need to close Club Guitmo.
Senator McCain says that, you know, if we waterboard these clowns, we're no better than our enemy.
What do the troops think of that?
I'm just throwing some questions out there.
Not trying to agitate.
Not trying to stir the punt.
That happens naturally.
Don't have to try.
Just throwing some questions out there.
Here's Charles in Redding, California.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Morning, Mr. Limbaugh.
Pleasure to talk to you.
You bet, sir.
Bozo the clown dittos from earlier this week.
Just wanted to say that I don't know why everybody's panicking over McCain.
If you take all the primaries that have been held in the caucuses, there's less than 3 million people that have voted.
And that is by far a far cry from what it takes to elect a president.
Well, I know, but wait a second now.
We're not there yet.
We're talking about nominating.
That's correct.
And I don't believe the Republican base, the conservatives, have spoken en masse at all.
And I think there's far too much worry about McCain getting the nomination when only 3 million people have voted.
Well, but it's a delegate thing.
It's the popular vote right now doesn't matter.
It's a delegate thing.
And that's why Super Tuesday, I mean, Hugh Hewitt ran some numbers here.
You know, a worst case scenario for Romney, just to be fair about it.
But these numbers, I'm having to get them from my head, and I may be off by a couple hundred, but the point will be made.
At the end of Super Tuesday, the number of delegates McCain could have would be in the 700s.
The number Romney would have would be in the 300s.
That's large over, it could be done.
It could still be done, but that's monumental.
And Huckabee will be in there with 150 some odd.
The real key to this is Huckabee.
A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain in the primaries.
That's right.
And that's what you and Hannity and Coulter and Reagan are all getting out there, that the Republicans in mass still have not chosen their nominee yet.
Well, no, it's because it's what I said yesterday.
The base is fractured for a whole host of reasons.
Look, conservatism, in its most elemental state, has three legs to the stool.
You have the social conservatives.
You have the fiscal conservatives.
And you have the national security conservatives.
All right.
There isn't a candidate getting the support of all three.
They're going different places.
Some, enough of the social conservatives, are going to Huckabee.
The economic conservatives are almost totally, but they're still slightly for, they're totally going for Romney.
And the economic conservatives, they're the guys of small government, less taxation, less regulation.
The national security conservatives, to whom that's most important, are also moderates on social things, but McCain is getting a lot of them.
So it's split.
And it's split not because the party is split.
It's fractured not because conservatism is fractured.
It's fractured because there's not a candidate that unites all three.
So Huckabee is taking votes away from Romney.
Rudy probably did the same.
Now those votes for Rudy, the guess is they're going to go for McCain.
But I think Huckabee stays in precisely to split the Romney vote so that Romney doesn't get it.
At this point, McCain is getting enough to do well on his own.
Huckabee's doing enough to keep Romney from getting close.
So it's all about delegates.
And, you know, people, I know people on our side are urging Huckabee to get out.
I would never, I'm not going to join that fray.
I'll just point out that this is what's happening.
Conservatism isn't fractured.
It says there's nobody that can unite them all.
I forgot I'm not going to say regular, but there are people out there that have people out there that could, but this current roster didn't.
And so it's allowed the establishment Republicans, these foreign policy guys, and they've got, you know, they're the Jurassic Park people.
They're the Nixon, the Bob Dole, this group that believe an activist, big government that they control, and they're conservative on some things.
But they've never won an election without conservatives.
It has never, not a presidential race.
It has never happened.
And it's not going to happen this time either.
This year is not going to be the exception for that.
Let me take a brief timeout.
We'll come back.
We will continue in L moments.
Hillary Clinton says she can control her husband.
How many of you believe that?
Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky, and a host of Juanita Broderick.
I mean, what kind of control here is there?
Let's see.
Renegade runaway statements, dropping the race card in South Carolina.
Lino, where is the evidence she can control her husband?
She's the most cheated-on woman in the world.
Who in the world does she?
I think controlling her husband, which would be, this is a question for you Democrats thinking about Hillary or Obama.
What would be the bigger challenge?
Passing universal health care or controlling bill?
You answer that, and you may narrow your decision as to whether Hillary or Obama control her husband.
This is a guy who wants nothing to do with her.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
But is there any other conclusion?
Only Snerdley would have that reaction.
Snerdley just said to me in the IFB, I know you're serious.
Snerdley just said to me in the IFB, how's the male vote going to hear that?
That she can control her husband.
I hadn't thought of it since I'm not married.
I haven't thought of it that way.
But most men think she can't do it, Snerdley.
They're probably excited by the proposition.
Most men, probably jealous.
They wish they had a wife like Hillary who couldn't control them.
But the idea that she wants to, that's nothing unique.
She's having, you have trouble with a male vote anyway.
That's a little peeing, if you will, to the female.
But yeah, I can control this guy.
But it's laughable.
All right, we're going to play a portion here of Schwarzenegger endorsing McCain.
Now, keep in mind, here's a context.
All day long and last night, pundits from across the political spectrum have been saying McCain is going to have to reach out to the right.
He's not getting conservative support yet.
He's going to have to do that at some point if he hopes to win the presidency.
Here is Schwarzenegger explaining why he is endorsing McCain.
I am endorsing Senator McCain to be the next president of the United States because I am interested in a great future.
And I think that Senator McCain has proven over and over again that he is reaching across the aisle in order to get things done.
There are people out there that talk about reaching across the aisle, but he has shown the action over and over again.
He's a great American hero and an extraordinary leader.
This is why I'm endorsing him to be our next president of the United States.
Well, that's really helpful.
He reaches across the aisle, Will.
That means he reaches out to Democrats.
And, of course, Schwarzenegger probably could write the book on that.
Look at, folks, make up your own mind on this stuff.
It's just out there staring you in the face.
It's up to you to see it.
I can't make you see it.
I can only put it in front of you.
If you wish to keep your eyes closed, feel free.
Brenda in Salt Lake City, thank you for waiting.
You're next in the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi.
I've really been enjoying your program today.
Thank you.
By the way, you know what, Brenda, since I got it.
One thing we do know, Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife is able to control him, is able to change his mind, is able to send him off in different political directions.
No question what can be done.
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Well, I was just calling to say that I'm a conservative, and I'm going to be voting for Mitt Romney on Tuesday.
But I can tell you this, if he should not get the nomination and McCain should get the nomination, I have watched the debates since day one and C-SPAN and all the talks and everything, and he just has lost my respect.
He's a hothead.
I wouldn't trust him with anything.
I would rather vote for a Democrat or not vote at all than to vote for him.
Are you talking about the debate last night or just a series of debates?
I'm talking about that debate and the first debate that was, oh, where was it?
In Michigan, New Hampshire, I can't remember.
He has, I have just been disgusted with his, especially last night, even when Anderson Cooper repeated the exact comment that Romney made about the timetable or whatever that you know.
Yeah, he wouldn't let it go.
He just kept beating it.
I mean, it's obvious that he doesn't like Mitt Romney.
But to me, I mean, I heard something on a program the other day on Sean Hannity that, and I can't remember who it was, a senator saying that McCain uses the F word and the A word to all the people in the Senate if he has a disagreement with them.
We don't need somebody like that, you know, talking to a foreign leader.
What you are talking about here basically is temperament.
That's what bothers you, right?
The temperament of Senator McCain.
Yeah, temperament, what he stands for.
I mean, he's just a Democrat trying to pretend to be a Republican.
I would not vote for him.
If they nominate him, I will either not vote or I will vote for Obama over him just because I just don't like the way he's conducting himself.
If all this happens out there, Brenda, I want you to call me back sometime before you make that decision.
Yeah, okay.
Because we're getting down the road a little bit here.
I hear this, folks.
I hear it from a lot of people.
And I understand the frustration.
And probably you're hearing Schwarzenegger talking about he's good at moving across the aisle and reaching out to the bad guys, reaching out to the enemies.
This is something that irritates a lot of people.
Look, Brenda, I'm glad you called.
Thank you so much.
Folks, before we go to the break, I have to.
The other day I mentioned the Renaille tankless water heater.
And I just sort of a joking way, you know, a caller came in here and giving me a little heat.
And I said I, you know, felt like I had a Renaille tankless water.
People have been sending me emails.
They don't understand how to spell Renai.
And they're going, they're trying to find Renai on a website.
That's not what the website's foreverhotwater.com.
And some of these emails are saying, I don't understand when you say it only has hot water on demand, you say it doesn't store hot water, then how is it always there on demand for?
That's the genius of it, folks.
And all of it is explained on the website.
Explain how you will save money.
It's got this little calculator on the website, how much you can save in electricity and energy costs if you put one of these or a series, depending on how large your home is, a series of tankless water heaters.
And a lot of people have done this.
You can easily understand if you've got this big tank heater and it's constantly using gas or electricity to keep the water hot, and a lot of that water is not used.
And sometimes you have to use so much it's not there if you've got gas.
That never happens with this.
You can be run the dishwasher and all this, but I'm not enough of a techno expert on this to tell you how, and I certainly can't do it in 60 seconds.
So just go to foreverhotwater.com and you will explain.
Well, look at that.
A dove just flew up in the window.
The piece, foreverhotwater.com.
I mean, even doves like this discussion.
If you watched the debate last night, you know that my name came up even there.
A question that should better have been asked if Senator McCain was asked of Governor Huckabee.
