By the way, not only have I reauthored and defined Excellence in Broadcasting, we have redefined HIP on the radio.
It's Friday.
Let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
I promise we're going to get to more of your phone calls in this hour than I have gotten to previously.
But as you know, still a lot to do here.
So as we sort of continue the thrills and chills and wind down from the thrills and chills of this week.
Clean up the loose ends.
We'll get to your phone calls.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Email address, L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Now just a review, folks, because it's going to be a weekend here that I don't want you to forget this.
Just to review, the presidential race is what it's going to be.
It's going to be McCain or Hillary or Obama.
But it's also going to be enlarged, according to the conventional wisdom, Democrat majorities in the House and Senate.
It doesn't matter who was elected president.
Because of who our nominee is, it doesn't matter.
So the thing that you're you're going to have to focus on here to keep the country from moving left is to focus on House and Senate races.
Support as many Republican conservatives in both the House and Senate in your state as you can to try to limit the so-called vast increases the Democrats are expecting in this presidential election.
Look at our nominee is who he is.
If he gets elected, he loves walking across the aisle dealing with Democrats on a number of different things.
They're going to be the majority.
Presidents like to get things done.
Uh defined as working across the aisle and doing legislation that both parties think is hunky-dory.
It is what it is.
The only way it can be limited is if there are enough conservative Republicans in the House and Senate to prevent voting majorities from bill after bill after bill.
That's it.
And that this is true.
I don't care if it's McCain who wins the presidency or if it's Hillary or Obama.
The point is this is not the time to sulk and sit out and forget the election.
This is what happened in 2006.
People set out in 2006.
I predicted play the soundbite from October 18th of 2006, a couple of weeks before that election.
I predicted if you sit out and you turn the House and Senate over to Democrats, you're going to get a McCain Republican presidential nomination, and that's what exactly what we've got.
I played that sound, but I'm not going to play it again.
It'll be all over the website when we update later this afternoon to reflect the contents of today's program.
So that's where we are.
You know, it is what it is.
Reality is reality.
The only way to stop this is to get enough Republicans, conservatives in the House and Senate to provide a bulwark when it comes to voting on certain pieces of legislation.
Now moving on to other items in the news.
The 20th annual meeting of the nation's second most powerful homosexual activist group is welcoming some new participants and...
Mike, could you how quickly could you find Klaus Nomi?
It's been so long since we have heard from Klaus Nomi and You Don't Know Me, which is our official gay community update theme song.
And I would like to have the Klaus Nomi official gay community update theme song.
All right, then we because it's been so long since we have one of these.
Let's just do this a gay community update.
And go back to the grooveyard of forgotten favorites.
For the late great Kraus know me and You Don't Own Me as our official update theme song.
The uh National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, ladies and gentlemen, holding its annual Creating Change Conference in Detroit this week.
Sponsors claim to have trained more than 30,000 activists since 1988.
Peter Labarbera with American Truth about homosexual sexuality has reported on the event in the in the past.
Uh the event's handbook addresses transgender restroom etiquette.
The Democrat Party is endorsing this event, where they will be presenting an award.
This is in Detroit, the Creating Change Conference.
They will be presenting an award for sadomasochism.
Sponsorship acknowledgement notes a Democrat National Committee gave at least $2,500 to help pay for the event.
The recipient of the Leather Leadership Award is Guy Baldwin.
The Leather Leadership Award.
Klaus, let it rip, Klaus.
I, as the late, the great Klaus know me in our gay community update theme, you don't know me.
Democratic National Committee sponsoring an event honoring sadomasochism.
The DNC giving $2,500 to help pay for the event, the recipient of the Leather Leadership Award, Guy Baldwin, a psychotherapist who has successfully lobbied against treating sadomasochism as a mental health problem gets an award funded by the Democrat National Committee.
This guy will have it on his resume.
He could be a future minority whip in the Democrat Party.
Last night on PMSNBC, the uh House organ for the Democrat National Committee, DNC TV, Dan Abrams celebrating the death of talk radio in front of a graphic of a gravestone that says R.I.P. Right wing radio.
Rest in peace, right wing radio, and he says this.
For nearly 20 years, conservative talk radio has led the Republican Party's charge on hot button issues from immigration to abortion to taxes.
So does Romney's failure show that right wing radio has finally lost its mojo.
He had a guest, Peter Bynert, Council on Foreign Relations.
So he's just established a premise that uh Limbo's finished.
Twenty years, that means me.
Limbaugh is finished, it's over with.
Rest in peace, right wing radio asks Binart this.
Don't you agree with me that this is just rhetoric on the part of the far right suggesting that they're not going to vote?
Or they're not because John McCain is so horrible.
The idea of John McCain is so horrible to the far right that they're not going to vote.
Even if he's up against Barack Obama.
No, I don't think it is rhetoric.
I think that Republicans are not going to get the big base turnout that they got in 2004 for George W. Bush.
Democrats are, and that's why McCain will lose.
Peter Beinart of uh the Council on Foreign Relations.
What he's saying there is is that uh talk radio may not be dead, Mr. Abrams.
The Republican base may not show up here the way they did for Bush and Oth and in 2004.
Anyway, just sharing all that with you in case you missed it.
Joy in uh Washington, Michigan.
Uh, thank you for waiting, and welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
You're a great American.
Well, thank you.
Uh, I have this theory.
I'm going to go vote for McCain, go home and take the hottest shower I've ever taken.
And the reason I'm going to do that, there's three evils up there.
And I'm trying to figure out who's the worst of the evil.
But I'm I have hope and I'm not sure.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What do we talk about?
The three evils.
Well, Obama, Hillary, and McCain.
Well, it's not, let's let's not use the word evil.
Well, in the same way, look at I think it's open line Friday.
If you want to use the word evil, go ahead.
I'm not going to stop you.
Okay.
So what I what I'm saying is I keep praying, and I'm saying, you know, what should I do here?
And I feel like that if we would hold, we just gotta stick together, hold McCain to the fire.
Not let him get away with this.
And everybody get out and vote and show the Democrats that we can get together and we can change things.
And if we all vote for our Senate, our Congressman and that, that, you know, if we hold him to his, you know, to his word, we've got to make him do that as as conservatives.
And I think that if we could do that, maybe we can change some things.
Otherwise, if we just give it to the Democrats and say, okay, the next four years, the only problem is it'll take 30 years to undo what they've done.
Yes, limboy.
You see?
You see.
They think they think you hold my feet to the fire.
I'm the Maverick.
I'm not Maverick.
Nobody holds my feet to the fire.
Nobody holds my feet to anything else.
North the enemies couldn't do it.
What makes this woman in Washington, Michigan, think that she can?
I don't know.
I'm just playing.
I'm doing a lot of prayers.
Now the way to do this, you're gonna have to have conservative Republicans in the House and Senate do this.
That's that's that's what that's what one of my themes today.
I I hate being a broken.
I I hate repeating things over and over because I feel like I'm shortchanging you people, but the the die is cast for the presidency in the next election.
It in it on most issues.
There could be some exceptions here, but on most issues, we're gonna go left.
And it's not this is really not so much an indictment of McCain as it is acknowledgement of reality who's gonna be running Congress.
The Democrats are gonna be running it.
The idea is to keep their governing majorities, their voting majorities as small as possible.
That's why Dingy Harry cannot get anything done in the Senate now.
He cannot get the 60 votes.
But if the Democrats have 55 votes after this next time around, you could tuck couple that with the Olympia snows and uh Susan Collins's and you know the liberal Republicans that are that could easily dingy Harry can get the 60.
Uh and if if you know we have a president, a Republican president if this happens who's inclined to work with Democrats to get things done, then.
This is not pessimism, folks.
I'm I'm I'm charting the course of reality here for you, telling you the way things are going to shape up.
Not only to help you deal with it emotionally, but to offer strategies here to try to blunt what's going to happen.
Throw McCain out.
If it's Hillary or Obama with these Democrat majorities, it's going to be a little bit more left than it would go with McCain, but it's still going to go left.
It's going to go left big time, and I actually think that with either Hillary or Obama, the Republicans in the House and Senate are going to be a lot freer to stand up and shout and stop and call them what they are.
We're not going to take this country to the socialist left President Obama.
Be much easier for him to say that.
No, I'm not signaling how I'm going to vote.
I'm just telling you.
I'm giving you reality.
You know what's one of the problems?
That's why I get why I'm getting his hate mail lately.
People, reality is just it's too hard.
It's harsh.
You want to live in the world of hope.
Fine.
You live in the world of hope.
I'll live in the world of reality, and I'll meet you at reality when you run out of hope.
You can count on where I will be.
Uh Kelly in Denver, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, thank you very much for taking my call.
Honored to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
El Mucho.
A little nervous today.
Proud member of the cutting edge.
Um you've over the last few weeks, um, it just seems like you're not saying something.
But you've got something on the back of your mind that are maybe right on the front of your mind, but you're not saying it yet.
And I talk with uh the owner of the company that I work with morning, and uh what tempt topics usually turn.
You mean uh the guy who lays people off?
No, no, no, no.
Quote unquote Governor Huckabee.
No, sir, I I am an independent contractor, so but um you you've said several times in the last few weeks that to endure a Carter to get a Reagan.
And you sort of leave it hanging for us to ponder and think about.
And I'm just wondering if if something like this might be in play.
Um I don't know what the relationship is between Newt Gingrich and John McCain.
But is there a possibility, if McCain, uh well, McCain's gonna win nomination for us, of a McCain Gingrich ticket.
Um think it's in a cards.
Here are the names I'm hearing.
I'll tell you the names I'm hearing.
I'm hearing at the top of the list Tim Paulenty, the governor of Minnesota that's a liberal state McCain would want to win it.
I'm hearing Mark Sanford, South Carolina.
But that might be problematic because McCain carries grudges, and Mark Sanford did not endorse him in 2000 in South Carolina, and it was huge there.
He was in Congress.
Charlie Christ, Governor Florida, who wants it so bad.
He wants it so bad, and he's owed because the drive-by's the political pundits are saying if it weren't for Christ's endorsement of McCain on the Saturday before the election, McCain would have lost to Romney.
And a lot of people are putting credence in that.
You know, Romney at one point a 10-point lead in Florida.
And then that Saturday before the election, McCain came out with a lie about McCom uh McCain Romney in the timeline.
Chris came out and endorsed him.
Uh with some voters in Florida, Chris is pretty popular because he's trying to cut property taxes and so forth.
So he's on the list.
But uh McCain may not need Florida.
I'll tell you somebody else on the list is Richard Burr, a uh senator from North Carolina, but McCain doesn't need North Carolina.
I'll tell you, you know what?
I'm gonna give you a name that would make me jump for joy.
Is not gonna happen because he's not been Bobby Gendal.
I did an interview with Bob, he is the next Ronald Reagan.
If he doesn't shape, Bobby Gendal, the new governor of Louisiana, is the next Ronald Reagan.
He's young.
He was just sworn in for his first term.
He's the guy that beat the liberal Democrat machine throughout Louisiana.
He did it 100% conservatism.
We interviewed him for the limbaughetter about three issues ago.
And it is, in fact, I am go I am hereby ordering the editrix of the Limbaugh letter, Diana Schneider, to make since it's a past issue.
Make the interview with Bobby Gendall in the Limbaugh letter available at Rush Limbaugh.com this afternoon.
Now you can send it up to Coco as a PDF file or text or whatever you want.
This guy could be the next Ronald Reagan.
If McCain chose him, here's a southern state, this is Louisiana.
But I think he may be too conservative for McCain.
Now it depends on who they think he uh McCain will need or want.
But Jen Doyle's very young, and he's only in his first year as governor and doesn't really have he was came from the House of representatives.
Also being talked about as Haley Barber, the governor of uh Mississippi.
But uh it is said by the those in touch with the conventional wisdom that Haley's got too many lobbyist ties for McCain.
So there's the these are some of the names.
There are others that I can't think of right off the uh uh top of my head, but uh they're out there.
Uh but I I don't I don't think it would be Newt.
Uh I don't it's well Newt is the guy that I was thinking could possibly be the next Dragon.
Uh yeah, a lot of people uh are harboring um, you know, fantasies about uh about Newt.
I haven't read his new book yet.
Uh the owner of our company.
Well, I've got a couple copies in the back seat of the car.
Back in just a second.
You know it and I know it.
A couple other news items.
This from yesterday, I didn't have a chance to get to it.
This this um Dr. Rowan Williams, the archbury of uh Archbury of Canterbishop, the Archbishop of Canterbury is losing it.
This is the guy who first cast doubts on the whole concept of the moving of the still star over Bethlehem around Christmas time, and then began talking about well, you don't really need to believe in the resurrection to be a Chris, yes, you do.
Now that have you heard about this, this guy is back.
The Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday that the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in a UK is unavoidable and that it would help maintain social cohesion.
Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4's World at one that the U.K. has to face up to the fact that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a sharia court.
He added Muslims should not have to choose between the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty.
He said there was a place for finding a constructive accommodation in areas such as marriage, allowing Muslim women to avoid Western divorce proceedings.
This is what you get when you have unchecked, unbridled liberalism.
By the way, this is liberalism disguised As an archbishop, as a religious figure.
Liberals will give away the culture and the freedom of Western democracies.
They will give it away for whatever reasons, who cares?
All you need to know is they will give it away.
And people like this, William Rowan, are not isolated.
They're not alone.
Lots of these kinds of people who think this way in this country from the Investors Business Daily editorial page.
Not every scientist is part of Al Gore's mythical consensus.
Scientists are now worried about a new ice age.
Because the sun's activity is slowing down.
You know, sun activity is cyclical.
We have always maintained on this program as common sense scientists that the sun has to be the predominant factor in global warming.
Now, Kenneth Tapping, a solar researcher and project director for Canada's National Research Council is looking at the sun for evidence of an increase in sunspot activity.
Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle, but so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet.
The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a maunder minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century.
Such an event occurred in the 17th century.
The observation of sunspots showed extraordinarily low levels of magnetism on the sun with little or no 11-year cycle.
The solar hibernation corresponded with a period of bitter cold that began around 1650 and lasted with intermittent spikes of warming until 1715.
Frigid winters, cold summers during that period led to massive crop failures, famine, and death in uh in northern Europe.
In addition to that, ladies and gentlemen, this is all over the news today, by the way.
It's in the New York Times.
It's do you know that ethanol and biofuels now are causing global warming?
Converting land for biofuel worsens global warming.
Yes, it's true.
Thank you, Liberals.
Clearing raw land to produce biofuels actually contributes to global warming by emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Researchers warned on Thursday.
In thinking typical of Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, liberals are authoritarianists and they are in the i in the business of r denying freedom.
David Suzuki has called for political leaders to be thrown in jail for ignoring the science behind climate change.
At a Montreal conference last Thursday, the prominent scientist, the broadcaster in order of Canada recipient, exhorted a packed house of 600 to hold politicians legally accountable for what he called an intergenerational crime.
Through a spokesman said yesterday the call for imprisonment was not to be taken literally.
Dr. Suzuki reportedly made similar remarks in an address at the University of Toronto last month.
Doesn't mean it.
Yes, I'm afraid he does.
And he wants this.
He doesn't he wants to take decisions on global warming in government away from politicians and put it in the hands of scientists.
Who, of course, are not governed by politics, are they?
That's what liberals do.
This is who they are.
They're telling us every day.
Pat in Muskegon, Michigan.
I'm glad you called.
Nice to have you here on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes, hi, Russ.
You know, I've been a fan of yours for over 20 years, and I you're making it so frustrated, I swear at my radio every day lately.
You know, how you can possibly say it doesn't make any difference whether Hillary or Obama's elected or if McCain is elected.
There's so many things that are coming up.
There's very possibly going to be two Supreme Court judges that are going to have to be nominated.
He has uh the pro-life uh he excuse me, I'm losing my voice.
He has a good pro-life record.
He would vote for uh partial birth abortion.
Uh he has an 82% conservative rating with the American conservative union.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Look, uh it's pointless to argue about McCain.
He's the nominee.
But I'm just telling you he's what I say is He opposes a constitutional amendment on uh abortion of any kind and on same sex marriage.
He opposes it.
Can I tell you something about Henry Hyde, who I love dearly Henry is the one in four that that uh proposed the human life amendment.
He didn't bring it up because he knew there weren't enough uh the votes in the in the House to do it.
You know I'm I'm I'm a Reagan conservative.
I served as an alternate delegate for Reagan in nineteen eighty and had the wonderful privilege of actually casting electoral vote for him in Illinois.
I worked with Philip Slaughter to fight the ERA.
So I am a conservative believe me.
I d I I don't doubt you.
But what about what are you mad at me about?
Because you're encouraging people you have been attacking McCain relentlessly.
And and I I agree with you.
I I you know I I was angry with McCain about all the same things you are but when it comes to the final thing commander in chief do you really think that that Hillary or Obama would be a better commander in chief than than John McCain?
There's it's and this is a very perilous time we're in the Middle East is like a powder keg ready to go up any minute and and I've answered this question.
I will answer it again if you really want to hear it.
But I don't think it matters because the die is cast.
I'd rather go back to your Supreme Court thing.
Okay.
Uh have you you you've heard my focus today.
Yes I have.
And I agree with you.
We've got to get out and get get done.
All right you haven't heard me tell people to vote against McCain today.
You've heard me assume he's going to be elected president.
I know but you you're saying then does it make any difference it and I think it does make a difference on a host of things it isn't.
This has been the point all along just be patient.
We'll talk in a year and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I agree with you about getting senators stick with your business on abortion.
You're right.
There is the predominantly one thing a president can do to affect uh Roe vs Wade and that's the appointment of justices U.S. Supreme Court.
Now, let's assume that we get a larger majority of Democrats in the Senate.
And let's assume the Senate Judiciary Committee has something like, picking round numbers, 11 Democrats, 7 or 8 Republicans.
John McCain nominates the people he says he's going to nominate.
See, pick one.
Somebody like Alito, somebody like John Roberts.
Now, here comes come the Democrats they probably won't even have to fill a buster they'll have the votes to stop it.
What are we going to do?
He will they will have the votes to stop this they are not going to sit by with they if they have significant majorities in the House and Senate, they are not going to sit by and allow those kinds of judicial nominees to end up on the court.
They will fill a buster they'll do whatever they have to do.
Now are the Republicans in the Senate going to now go with the nuclear option since the guy who stopped the nuclear option and who could have prevented these syllabus in the first place is now the president.
You know can I speak to that because you know originally I agreed with you.
I was I was mad because I thought why are they taking that away?
But then the more I think about it it was smart because you've got the numbers mixed up we're the ones that would have to filibuster if if if we can hopefully get at least uh a majority to stop the 60.
Look you're missing my point it's probably my fault.
My focus here is to prevent the Sarah I'm I'm I'm I'm granting you that McCain's going to nominate justices that you like and that we would all want.
Okay.
Right and you're saying that they won't get a point they won't get to the I'm telling you it's gonna it's gonna be hell to get them confirmed that the last thing in the world the Democrats are going to want that to happen is especially if they lose the White House, do you know what a tear they are going to be do you they are going to be frosted.
They have had the presidency in their back pocket for the last two years.
They think it's a fate accomplished and they think it's an even greater con a fate accomplished now that McCain's been nominated.
They think he's going to be easy to beat.
Well this you and I do agree on one thing though well not but we do get those three elections I'm stipulating he wins the presidency for I'm not trying to undercut this now.
Listen to me I'm just telling you you I'm trying to prepare you To get frustrated as hell when he nominates the judges you want and there aren't enough Republicans in the Senate to confirm them.
And when McCain's habit is to reach across the aisle, work with Democrats to make them happy, he hasn't reached it within his own segment to keep conservative Republicans happy.
I'm just telling you, this is why I've been saying today, get as many Republicans as elected as possible to the House and Senate to try to keep these Democrat majorities down so as to get these judges confirmed because that's where it's going to happen is in the Senate.
Well, I agree with you on that, Russ.
But let's also get McCain elected because it will make a big difference.
I I love your Russia.
I love you too.
Don't keep attacking McCain.
We've moved on.
The primaries are over.
It is what it is.
I'm talking to you today with the st with the with the hypothetical that he wins the presidency and uh and and what is likely to happen as uh as a result.
Uh see.
I better take a break.
I'm looking to the clock here.
I've got to take a break.
Look, Pat, thanks for the call.
I understand you're being irritated with me, but I don't think you're really irritated with me.
I think what you're irritated with is that I am telling you, I'm giving you, I'm laying out for you reality, and it's not what you envisioned supporting McCain or any other Republican in this roster, frankly, probably.
We'll be back in just a second.
I'm gonna give you a little tip, folks, because I care about you.
We talk about David Brooks uh at the New York Times here a lot.
If you want to know what Senator McCain is going to do as president, read David Brooks column in the New York Times.
I'm not sure what days of the week it comes.
I think it comes out two twice a week.
But read David David Brooks in New York Times.
David Brooks is the McCain Talking Points memo.
That's that's what it is.
And you'll get an idea of what McCain is going to do.
Now I'll tell you something else I'm gonna do, folks.
Next week, because I have to run out of here today, but next week, when I finish the program, I'm gonna record some thoughts that I would love to tell you right now, but I'm not going to.
And I'm gonna put them in a time capsule.
And we're gonna find a day to act we're gonna find a way to accurately date and timestamp them.
And in about a year from now, I'm going to play them for you.
No, no more hints, Mr. Snerdley.
I'm just going to put some thoughts in a time capsule.
Date and stamp them.
Not long.
Won't be longer, a couple three minutes.
The appropriate time, we're going to open a time capsule and let you hear what I recorded next week, a year from now.
One other thing.
Uh that last nice lady, the last caller, Pat from Muskegon, Michigan, is that right.
Um, I I'm not attacking Senator McCain today.
I'm not that's been doing just the exact opposite of that.
But I want I want to say to the a lot of you here, um, I'm I'm interested in party loyalty.
Uh and you know, she got on my case for saying there's not going to be any difference between an Obama or a Hillary or a McCain presidency.
She cited judicial appointments, and I have to grant her that.
I mean, they're not going to be total similarities.
But um Hillary Clinton would make a good president.
Yes, you heard right.
Hillary Clinton would make a good president.
And in the interests of party loyalty, I say this because Senator McCain has said it.
And I'm not I'm not undercutting Senator McCain anymore.
Uh the primaries are over.
Well, they're not over, but I mean the he's the presumptive nominee.
And I'm I'm not I'm I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna sit here anymore.
I'm not gonna listen to drive-by's and all these other people Republican Party say I'm tearing a party apart.
So if Senator McCain says that Hillary Clinton will be a fine president on this program, she's gonna be a fine president.
I too can do party unity.
Uh as well as anybody.
I can get on board the bus.
Bob in Columbus, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush.
Uh Cincinnati bearcat diddos.
Thank you, sir.
Uh, enjoy the uh program and uh your arguments and uh share most of your opinions.
Uh I'm calling, though, to take exception today to your premise and uh repeated emphasis of the your re-electing the uh Republican senators and and House members uh as well as your kind of uh uh your I told you so message about the 2006 election that hey, this is what we're gonna get if we don't uh re-elect these folks.
If uh well, in order for the pendulum to swing right again, it's gotta finish swinging left and re-electing these rhinos that are out there, these these Democrats in drag, if you will, it's not gonna stop that pendulum.
Oh no, that's not that I agree with you.
That's not what I meant.
I meant to work for as many conservative House members and Senate members as possible.
Uh and it may not you may not succeed a lot wildly this year, but this should be an ongoing effort, an on jo ongoing project.
And I also pointed out that you're gonna find these uh ask people to pay attention to state legislatures uh to find the state senators and st and and the state representatives who are voting against tax increases and all these things that we find uh uh conservative and support them and inspire them to run for higher office.
But I uh I'm not suggesting re-electing the same old rhinos that are gonna go along with the Democrats, and in some cases we're not gonna have any choice because some of them are not up for re-election.
I couldn't agree more.
I mean, we bounced uh the wine out of Ohio here.
He was part of that uh uh gang of fourteen.
I think uh correct me if I'm wrong, I think Boinevich may have been also, and he's up uh this term.
If Boinevich wasn't part of that gang, I I know he was on the uh standing on the floor crying literally uh tears when uh when uh W was trying to uh get Bolton appointed and uh No, I know.
I I look look look I know that this is we get who you vote for.
You get who you vote for.
We're gonna get who we vote for.
Look, I have to run here, Bob.
I appreciate the uh call.
I have to run, folks, uh big weekend ahead, but we'll be back on Monday to deal with the thrills and spills and the chills of the weekend, clean up whatever drive-by media messes that have been made.
I look forward to it.
See you then.
Oh, not yet.
Okay, folks, enjoy the news.
Have a good weekend.
I'll see you back here on Monday.
Clean up the messes uh made over the weekend by the media.
