Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Almost did it.
I almost turned on a microphone myself in which I would, in case I'd be sighted, violating a union prohibition.
Greetings, my friends from high atop.
The EIB building in Midtown, Manhattan, Rush Limbaugh.
We're bracing for snow here after three o'clock this afternoon.
Not going to be major, but we are going to get some snow this afternoon.
A little cold.
Got off the airplane last night, it's 22 degrees.
And as I promised, got off in my shorts.
Walked to a waiting bus at the bottom of the stairs, went to the car, was outside maybe eight seconds.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
We have three hours of fun-filled frolic and serious discussion straight ahead for you.
The telephone number, if you want to join us, 800-282-2882.
The email address is Rush.
Sorry, syllabic uh uh habit here, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
I have a story here, my friends, uh holding in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Uh Dolly Parton blames breasts for postponed tour.
Dolly Parton's breast may be two of the wonders of the entertainment world.
The country music icon says they are a pain in her back.
Uh, she said Monday she would postpone her upcoming North American tour after doctors told her to take it easy for six to eight weeks to rest her sore back.
She said, Hey, you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems.
She said in a statement.
You know, this brings back the old joke.
I'm sure you people have hold it heard this joke before, but I had a dream last night, actually a nightmare last night.
I dreamt that I was Dolly Parton's baby, and she put me on formula.
All right, yeah, it's an old joke.
Sorry about that.
All right, let's let's go right to the audio sound bites.
Right to the audio sound bites.
In fact, let's start with number two.
Now, let's go ahead and start with number one.
This is uh PMS NBC, the morning show show today, uh with uh Joe Scarborough, Mika Bzhinski, uh who is the daughter of Zabigniev Bzhinski, the uh former National Security Advisor during the disastrous Carter years.
Uh she is uh talking with the correspondent David Gregory about how an endorsement of McCain by me would sink McCain.
I'm reading uh Richard Cohen this morning.
He says that nothing commends McCain more than his enemies.
The fact that Rush Limbaugh hates him is a pretty good reason by itself to vote for McCain.
It's not always possible to judge a man by his friends, but his enemies will always tell you something.
So the question, I guess, for John McCain moving forward is how does he sort of bridge that divide with the base?
And does he really need to when it's these kind of blabbermouths who are leading the way?
Give me some insight as to why this is so important.
He needs the conservative base behind him, particularly because of the enthusiasm you see on the Democratic side.
So come November, he's gotta get conservatives who come out and vote.
And yeah, the argument goes that as long as you have Rush Limbaugh and Coulter there against McCain, it's only gonna help him with his own base of those independent voters that'll be so important in November.
No question about that, that he's gotta maintain that core of independent voters for him.
You know, one of the things that that has amazed me throughout all of this, ladies and gentlemen, is the narrow-mindedness, the narrow focus of people in the drive-by.
Now, Mika Bzhinski was reading from Richard Cohen today in the Washington Post.
Now, what did what did Cohen basically Cohen said, Look, the worst thing could happen to McCain is if we're Limbo endorsing, because then the independents would run for the hills, and a Democrats are gonna vote for McCain would run for the hills.
It's too late, Cohen.
I said that myself yesterday.
Like if I really wanted to torpedo McCain, I would endorse him.
If I wanted a torpedo McCain, I would because that would send the independents and liberals, they're gonna vote for him running away faster than anything.
What people don't realize is I'm doing McCain the biggest favor could be done for him by staying out of this.
If I endorsed him thoroughly with passion, that would end the independents and moderates.
Because they so despise me and they so hate me.
Now, if I were a member of the drive by media, I would dig deeper than the surface here.
They're all obsessed.
And by the way, they all want to talk to me.
Time Magazine, New York Times, New York Times magazine, you would think I'm running for office.
We've got a list of requests of people that want to talk to me, and they all want to talk about the same thing.
Why do you not like McCain?
What in the world is it with McCain?
How come you don't like McCain?
All that's basically the theme.
Now, if I were one of these guys, I would go a little bit further.
You know, Limbo, I I would now, this may be where they have their problem.
But I say, if if I were to drive by looking at all this, the first thing I said, you know, Limbaugh's not stupid.
But they may not go there.
They may think I am.
But do you think it might intrigue them?
Look at what Cohen wrote.
They think I'm against McCain.
They think I'm trying to torpedo McCain.
They think I'm trying to savage McCain.
They think I have an animus toward McCain.
And yet, am I not doing the best thing in the world for his candidacy based on the way he structured it?
He wants independence.
He wants Democrats.
He wants people from across the aisle joining our party to give him his electoral majority, correct?
Who is helping him accomplish that?
It is I, L. Rushbaugh, the all-knowing, all-caring, all feeling, all sensing, all concerned, all everything, El Rushbow.
So couldn't it be said, if somebody wanted to, in an enterprising way, go there, couldn't it be said that I am secretly supporting Senator McCain?
Because I secretly do want him to win, but I know full well that if I come out and endorse him, he's cooked.
Because my I'm gonna tell you this.
If I were to endorse McCain, the conservatives in this audience who are opposed to him are not gonna join him because I say so.
This is another area where the drive bys totally don't get it.
I think everybody out there is receiving marching orders.
If I endorsed McCain today, next week, August, if I came out and actually endorsed McCain, that's when my audience would have trouble with me.
That's and so I'm sitting here, I'm covering two bases at the same time, both beneficial to me, and the drive-bys are stuck on this, and even after explaining this to them, they're gonna kit they're gonna call you now.
Does Limboard say, does he really mean that this is how he's supporting McCain?
And your answer is gonna be, I don't know.
You heard him say what I said.
He put it out there as something for you guys to think about.
You guys are enterprising journalists.
He's encouraging you to get away from the one-track mind that you're on and write something different from all of your other so-called colleagues.
So, I mean, the truth, look at it, we all know what McCain wants to win.
We know he's very proud of this.
Richard Cohen, independents, moderates, no wonder the left is excited for McCain.
They want to vote for him.
Some of them do.
Uh, and McCain wants to win that way.
And if McCain wins, who loses?
Obama or Hillary.
Is that not good for our side?
For those guys to lose?
So who may be in this whole kitten caboodle, in this whole shebang, who may be the most valuable asset McCain has?
Me.
Quick timeout, back after this.
Don't go.
Okay, now the drive-bys who are monitoring this program, folks, this is so much fun.
The drive by's who are monitoring the show are now feverishly writing, and they're calling each other, Limbaugh, did he just say that he's the biggest asset McCain has?
Do you realize how that throws our narrative down the sewer?
Our whole template's gone.
What's Limbaugh doing?
Uh, folks, that's why this program, that's why I have more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I know these drive-bys like every square inch of my glorious naked body, and I can play them like Strativarius.
Now, before we get back to the politics stuff, I know this is the Potomac primary, and Obama's gonna sweep it today.
Hillary's gonna open tomorrow down in Texas, he's gonna get the latest firewall.
Uh, New Hampshire was a firewall.
Uh, she's had some other firewalls, New York and California's gonna head down to Texas, hoping Texas and Ohio will slow down Obama.
Obama's gonna win big in the three states today.
Uh and that's that's gonna give him momentum uh like crazy.
I mean, that says winner, winner, winner.
This is gonna be what, eight in a row, seven in a row that he will have smoked Mrs. Clinton.
He will have beaten Mrs. Clinton profoundly.
And so it's it's going to be hard to turn this momentum around.
But remember now we're talking about the Clintons, and as I, as I said yesterday, imagine something you've wanted more than anything in your life.
It consumes you, and you couple that with this arrogant notion that you are owed it, and that it's only a matter of, and you will do anything to get it.
So this is, even though Obama's gonna sweep, it's gonna be fun to watch.
Now there's a fascinating story in the news out there today about the future demographic makeup of our country, the United States of America, the U.S. population will soar to 438 million by 2050.
Let me do some quick, let's see, 50 eight, 42, 47, 89, I'll be 89 years old if that happens.
89 years old by the time of uh 2050, uh, and the population will soar to 438 million, the Hispanic population will triple according to projections released yesterday by the Pew Research Center.
The latest projections by the nonpartisan research group.
All these liberal groups call themselves nonpartisans.
Anyway, the latest projections by the nonpartisan research group are higher than government estimates to date, and paint a portrait of an America dramatically different from today's.
The projected growth in the U.S. population were 303 million today, will be driven primarily by immigration among all groups except the elderly, and that's where this gets interesting.
And by the way, with immigration, they don't say it here, but we mean legal and illegal.
Mark my words on this.
Well, here are the here's here are the projections.
2050.
Nearly one in five Americans will have been born outside the United States versus one in eight in 2005.
Sometime between 2020 and 2025, the percentage of foreign born will surpass the historic peak reached a century ago during the last big immigration wave.
New immigrants and their children and grandchildren born in the USA will account for 82% of the population increase from 2005 to 2050.
Did you hear me on that, my friends?
New immigrants, legal and illegal, and their children and grandchildren born in America will account for 82% of the population increase from 2005 to 2050.
Whites who are not Hispanic, now two-thirds of the population will become a minority when their share drops to 47%.
They made up 85% of the population in 1960.
Hispanics, already the largest minority group, will more than double their share of the population to 29%.
Blacks will remain 13% of the population.
Asians will go from 9% to 5%.
What?
How can the world project that?
Oh, oh, I see.
It's not that Asians are going to be leaving.
It's that so many more Hispanics are going to be showing up.
And the black population is not going to get to stay at 13%.
The gap between the number of working age peoples and the children and seniors who depend on them, this folks, this is where this gets really interesting.
Now follow me on this.
The gap between the number of working age people and the children and seniors who depend on them will widen as boomers age.
There will be 72 young and elderly people for every 100 people of working age by 2050.
Can I put that in stark numbers for you?
Out of every 100 people of working age by 2050, 28%, 28 of the 100 will not be young and not be elderly.
72 young and elderly, that means only 28.
Let me put it to you this way.
Only 28 of every 100 people in 2050 will be independent.
Only 28 out of every 100 people in 2050 will not be dependent on the rest of society for their daily existence.
The gap would widen more if immigration slows because immigrants tend to be working age, according to the report.
Now, the projections are based on detailed assumptions about births, deaths, and immigration levels based on recent trends.
Trends can change too.
For example, a uh new immigration policy could substantially limit the growth of immigrants.
When your average American politician sees this, the last thing they're going to want to do is shut the immigrants down.
They're going to want to make a beeline for Hispanics as voters.
This is how it happens out there.
So let's review.
2050, Hispanic population in a country is going to triple.
The U.S. population as a whole will rise to 438 million, primarily because of immigration, legal and illegal.
Nearly one in five Americans will have been born outside the USA by 2050.
Sometime between 2020 and 2025, the percentage of foreign born will surpass the historic peak reached a century ago during a last big emigration wave.
This country is not going to look like it does now.
I'm not going to tell you how it's going to look.
I mean, these are just talking demographics here.
This does not, by the way, and this is my own independent thinking here.
This does not even factor in what probably will be a big influx of Muslim immigrants as well.
They are not mentioned here.
Now these studies, we have to admit, these studies are uh more sensational than they actually turn out to be.
But let's say even half of this is true.
America is going to be an entirely different country.
Uh and it will not happen in one great war, but in a uh in a in a slow trickle.
Now, you know, they're making projections for what, 42 years from now, and these are wild guesses, uh they're based on current trends, but at least uh it gives some sort of an indication of where we're heading.
Now, the New York Times in talking about this today, the interesting paragraph from Sam Roberts.
What such outcome could portend, other analysts have said, is a nation riven politically between older, whiter voting retirees who are increasingly supported by a younger, darker working population that as immigrants may be disproportionately ineligible to vote.
There's the reference to illegal immigration without saying it.
So what we have here, folks, you know, I can remember back on this program talking about, we've looked at uh uh budgets periodically as submitted by the White House, regardless who the president is, and we have seen, for example, the welfare state expressed as thus as following.
Uh today in America, it takes the income or the taxes of four working Americans to pay for the retirement benefits of a single retiree.
By 2030, I forget 2040, somewhere around there, that burden's gonna be spread one to two.
So the taxes of two workers to pay the retirement benefits of a single retiree, and a tax rate, this is in federal budgets, a projected federal tax rate of 72% to support this.
Now, this study adds to that, and again, those are those are governmental projections as well, and they're always made uh within the context, we've got to do something about entitlements.
We gotta reform some of them, like Social Security and Medicare and so and what are the Democrats propose?
More of them.
Expand them.
The Democrats would look forward to news like this.
That in this uh not only the Pew projection, but uh all of those all of those government budget projections.
But the bottom line is this.
You're going to have 28 out of every 100 people who will not be dependent.
72 out of every 100 people in 2050 will be dependent on the taxes of others.
In order to live, in order to have their needs met.
We're not talking wants.
In order to have their needs met.
And at the upper end of the scale, that's where the white Americans will have the greatest numbers.
And they're the ones who vote.
So they're going to be voting for all these taxes from all of these young people.
At some point, this is all got to break down.
Some point there's it, it's it's this the strain's going to be such that it has to give way.
If we had leadership, genuine leadership rather than pandering in our political system, this could be dealt with and should have been a long, long time ago.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
We've had snurdly now gumming up the works here.
We've had a couple people call Snerdley who say that uh I misrepresented the figures in this story about the demographic future of the country.
I didn't say 28% of the people would be work.
People are calling him saying 58% of the population would be working.
You can be working and be dependent.
What here, let me give you the numbers here again.
Uh where was 20.
Uh here we go.
The gap between the number of working age people and the children and seniors who depend on them will widen as boomers age.
72 young and elderly for every 100 people of working age.
Okay.
So some people are saying that means 58% will be working.
Regardless, uh uh if if you still look at these numbers, these are not exciting numbers here, when you find that there will be 72 young and elderly for every 100 people of working age.
Uh the 100 people of working age, 72 of them are gonna be young and elderly.
Uh the whole point of this is to say the young and the elderly are dependent.
So that's and look, look at this.
This is uh uh sort of a related.
There's a lot of immigration news out there today, despite the fact the Wall Street Journal editorialized or had a column from somebody yesterday saying it's not a big deal, and if it was, how come McCain twinning and so forth?
You uh you nativists, you're wrong again.
Immigration is not going to be a big deal.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon yesterday decried anti-immigrant perceptions in the U.S. and argued that Mexican immigrants compliment American workers.
On his first trip here as Mexico's president, Calderon said that he's working to combat anti-Americanism in Mexico and to improve job prospects there to reduce migration.
He said he hopes that Americans resist anti-Mexican sentiments.
What anti-Americanism in Mexico?
If there's anti-Americanism, how many so many of them want to get in here?
The worst thing that happened in this country is this anti-Mexican or anti-immigrant perception of people we need to contain this, Calderon said after a speech at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
I need to change in Mexico the perception that the Americans are the enemy, and it's important to change the perception that the Mexicans are the enemy.
We're neighbors, we're friends, we must be allies.
Uh Arizona, McCain's home state.
This is a story from the New York Times.
Arizona seeing signs of flight by immigrants.
The signs of flight among Latino immigrants here are multiple.
Families moving out of apartment complexes, screwels reporting enrollment drops, business owners complaining about fewer clients.
While it's too early to know for certain a consensus is developing among economists, business people and immigration groups that the weakening economy, coupled with recent curbs on illegal immigration, are steering Hispanic immigrants out of the state.
The uh Arizona economy, heavily dependent on growth and a Latino workforce has been slowing for months.
Meanwhile, the state's enacted one of the country's toughest laws to punish employers who hire illegal immigrants, and the county sheriff here in Phoenix has been enforcing federal immigration laws by rounding up people living here illegally.
They're trying to make this a bad thing.
The point of this New York Times story is, oh no, it's horrible.
Arizona's going down the tubes.
Arizona needs it.
Oh, no.
It's all because of the bad economy.
Now we're not sure that they're going back to Mexico.
They're just leaving Arizona here.
And this is happening in quite a few states which are starting to enforce existing immigration law.
Immigrants illegal in those states are engaging in flight.
As the uh New York Times says they are splitting the scene.
Here is Frank Pearson, the lead organizer of the Arizona Interfaith Network.
They advocate for immigrants' rights.
It's very difficult to separate the economic reality in Arizona from the effects of the laws, because the economy's tanking and construction is drying up.
State Representative Russell Pierce, a Republican from Mesa, an advocate of the crackdown on illegal immigration, takes reports of unauthorized workers leaving as a sign of success.
An estimated one in ten workers in Arizona are Hispanic immigrants, legal and illegal, twice the national average.
The desired effect was we don't have the red carpet out for illegals, Mr. Pierce said.
Most of these are good people, but they're tremendous burden on public services.
Bingo!
Bingo!
The New York Times wants to portray this as horrible bad news, but for the Wall Street Journal and the rest of the open borders crowd to write of immigration as though it's a vanished issue and doesn't matter, Looking in local, you know, they say, oh, politics is local.
If you look in local community, you will find it's a huge issue.
And the people in these states are demanding that their local officials, state officials enforce existing law.
And they are doing so.
And this is one of the outcomes of stopping the amnesty bill.
It wasn't amnesty.
How many times, boy?
Am I having to tell you?
It wasn't amnesty.
They'd pay a $5,000 fine.
It wasn't amnesty.
Yeah, okay.
It was an amnesty.
Whatever.
Since it was stopped, the people who live closer to the American people, local and state officials, seem to have gotten the message in a lot of states, and they are enforced.
Now, if enforcing these laws, and they're there, there's a dynamic effect here.
When you enforce the law against people who are violating it, what are they going to do?
They're not going to say, okay, I'm guilty and show up, put me in jail, they're going to run.
They are going to take flight.
Uh, as the New York Times uh says.
Here's another example.
Illegal workers targeted in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island facing a budget crisis that'll lead to massive cutbacks, is engulfed in the most intense battle over illegal immigration in New England.
Republicans and Democrats alike calling for a crackdown on unauthorized workers.
I wonder if our buddies at the Wall Street Journal are paying attention to all these instances around the country.
In the past few weeks, Rhode Island.
This is not a red state, folks.
Rhode Island, it's about as white as you can get.
The about the only whiter state there might be is Maine.
Where by the way, Obama cleaned up.
Did he not?
In the past few weeks, state lawmakers and the governor in Rhode Island have proposed a battery of measures targeting unauthorized workers from expelling undocumented children from the state's health care system to making English the official language to jailing business owners and landlords who harbor illegal workers.
Somebody tell me that immigration is not an issue with the American people.
Somebody explain Rhode Island, Republicans and Democrats working together to remove and expel undocumented children from the state's health care system.
In the midst of a Democratic presidential campaign which is oriented toward giving everybody health care, mandating that they get it.
In Rhode Islanders say we can't afford it.
Plus, our people are angry about it.
The increasingly vitriotic debate playing out in coffee shops, on talk radio and television, is dividing a state that has long taken pride in its immigrant roots.
Lawmakers and angry taxpayers say the state's facing a $550 million budget deficit and cannot afford government services for illegal immigrants.
Wow.
And their first instinct was not to raise taxes.
Look at the two issues here as they juxtapose together.
Illegal immigration, children accessing health care services, state of Rhode Island and Blue State says, no must, no must.
We don't have the money, and they their first instinct was not to raise taxes.
It's an election year.
Don't raise taxes.
And of course, the wizards and the experts in our open borders crowd found at the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
See these two issues, why are not a factor?
The only thing that matters is national security.
Well, to a lot of people, this old illegal immigration thing is a matter of national security, because in addition to the decent and good hearted, hardworking Hispanic immigrants that cross the border illegally, who the hell else is coming with them?
I mean, nobody's going to accuse the Hispanics of engaging in terrorists.
I mean, they got their gangs and so forth, but it is a national security issue to a lot of people.
Uh and by the way, this this is this story is from the Boston Globe.
In Rhode Island, criticism of illegal immigrants crosses party lines.
Rhode Island.
And there's a story here in the stack.
I found this right before the program.
It is a post at Michelle Malkin's website.
Uh this is one of those things that you run across, you can't believe it.
You don't know if it's true, because it doesn't make any sense.
It sounds like something Ron Paul would say.
No offense, Ron Paulins.
But it's at Michelle Malkin's website.
The White House wants a 1.4 billion dollar stimulus and national security package for Mexico.
Here is Michelle Malkin writing.
She actually posted this yesterday.
Well, this is the 12th, right?
This is Lincoln's birthday.
So uh she actually posted notice.
No national holiday for old Abe.
Didn't move this one to.
Well, yes, the President's Day.
The uh the what is it on the 22nd?
We throw a we lump him in there.
Monday the 18th.
Okay, then Washington's birthday is the 22nd.
I mean, but it used to be that none of these dates matter.
I don't know.
Yeah, well, you move it to Monday so the post office today all, but I'll tell you the real reason you got all these three-day weekends in the early part of the year is the ski industry.
Ski industry needs three-day weekends.
Hell yes.
Big big ski lobbied successfully for a lot of Monday holidays, three-day weekend holidays in January and February.
Uh and uh and uh there's one in March.
The ski industry is uh they're not they're not solely to blame here.
Uh they haven't been screwed by global warming for crying out loud.
Afghanistan's having the coldest winter it's had in ten years.
Don't look at me starting, that's a whole different stack.
Let me get this Michelle Malkin piece.
A reader, she writes, this is how she begins her piece.
A reader asked me to check into information that President Bush was pushing a massive foreign aid package to Mexico to help Mexico secure their southern border against the flow of illegal aliens from Central America.
We can't even get our own border straight, and we're gonna provide Mexico with funding so they can solve their problem, the reader fumed.
I doubt that Central Americans are staying very long in Mexico anyway.
We're nowhere they're going.
Michelle Malkin writes, too outrageously outrageous to be true.
Well, I checked it out, she says, it's even worse than the reader described.
Far worse.
The plan is called the Marida Initiative or Merida initiative, probably Marita.
Uh M-E-R-I-D-A.
Seems the White House has had this plan in the works for nearly a year with little congressional input on either side of the border.
So there is a plan to give Mexico 1.4 bill to help them secure their southern border against the rest of Central America and also stimulate their economy.
Read it and wait.
Quick timeout back after this.
I can't believe you would say that.
During the break here, for those of you watching on the Ditto Cam today at Rushlimbaugh.com, you've probably seen me pretty animated here during the break, talking to broadcast engineer and my trusty uh aide de camp and chief of staff, HR.
And I'm talking to.
I didn't want to bring this up.
I hadn't thought I was going to bring it up.
You know, I'm a big Mac guy.
Love Macs, and I'm running, I've got I've got four Mac Pros and the top-of-the-line Mac Pros maxed out.
Uh and they just had a new system upgrade.
They went to 10.5 Leopard, and they've had two upgrades since October.
Yesterday brought 10.5.2, which was loaded.
Big, big update.
I've been having two problems since I went to Leopard that I hoped this update would solve, and it didn't solve them.
And it's frustrating.
And I was telling these guys, I've worked patiently, I've been very patient with my Apple rep, with my developer rep, and they're working hard on it, but nothing gets done.
All we do is file reports and get lost in the Apple bureaucratic system.
And occasionally a good good intention, good hearted Apple, Apple rep will get on the phone, try to solve it, and we'll say, yep, same problem I'm having on my machine, having the same problem at Apple I'm having here.
But it's supposed to work.
So I was asking these guys during the break.
You think I ought to put out a plea just to Steve Jobs.
I know he's politically opposite of me.
Uh, but just to say, Mr. Jobs, please, I'm I've I've got four, I've just ordered six brand new Mac Pros.
Four for me and two as Gifts, maxed out.
Blu-ray drives.
I've loaded them up.
I our whole office here is Mac.
And I just want it to work because I love them.
And these two things that aren't working would seem to me, as a novice, to be a simple fix, but they're not.
So I was telling these guys, do you think I ought to make a an appeal, a direct appeal to Steve Jobs from behind the golden EIB microphone.
Mr. Jobs, please help me.
I know we don't agree on anything, and you love Al Gorm, by the way, I've got no problem with him now.
But uh, can you put me to somebody that can get this working?
Because I know it's gotta work for most people.
What am I doing wrong?
And Mamone said, You don't understand it.
Jobs has you tagged.
He's making sure your computers don't work.
If you put out this appeal to Steve Jobs to ask him to help, his reply is going to be, Mr. Limbaugh, do us a favor and endorse Windows.
Just like the McCain people are very happy I'm not endorsing them.
Because I would torpedo them if I did.
And then, you know, the reason I couldn't believe you said to me that they're tagging me is because here we go again with high-tech stuff.
DirecTV is only going to work with TiVo receivers for a limited time in the future, because DirecTV has got their own DVRs.
Digital video recorders like TiVos.
And occasionally, I still have some of the, I've got some process switching over at home to the DirecTV receivers.
But I still have some that are not DirecTVs or Sony's.
Some are TiVo, some are not.
And occasionally they go into Fritz.
They just don't work.
And one of my audio video specialists says, Direct TV is zapping you.
They're making sure you move to their HR20s or HR-21s.
They are purposely zapping all of these non-I said, you're a conspiracy kook.
You think DirecTV's out there trying to find everybody that's not using one of their receivers and is zapping them, causing a need for a reset.
I know it.

We're going to have to switch out to these HR21s pretty soon.

Fine machines, love Sony, don't misunderstand.
Uh but these have never been zapped.
But these guys think so.
You think jobs is tagging my computers to make sure they don't work.
And I've got a computer, an AV guy who thinks DirecTV's tagging my non direct TV receivers.

Uh all of you on hold, stay there.
