Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I feel bad about this.
I do.
I feel bad about it.
I mean, I felt good about it at the time, and I felt good about it for a couple months after, and I feel bad about it now.
Well, no, who else but me is responsible for Mrs. Clinton's plunge?
You realize, folks, if I had not made such a big deal out of her avoiding the issue of driver's licenses for illegal aliens in New York, I mean, that's when this tailspin began.
You know it, and I know it.
And now we don't want her out of this race.
As I said yesterday, we want her in this race for as long as possible to keep the chaos going in the Democrat Party.
Anyway, greetings.
Great to have you with us, Rush Limbaugh, in another episode of the EIB Network's Rush Limbaugh program.
We come to you today from the subterranean depths of the EIB Southern Command.
Telephone number, if you'd like to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.

Have you heard what has happened to Dr. Robert Jarvik?
Dr. Robert Jarvik invented the artificial heart.
Now, I have, I used to live in New York in an apartment building where Dr. Jarvik lives.
I don't know if he still lives there or not.
Nice as hell guy.
His wife is Marilyn Vossavant or Vost Savant.
The smartest woman in the world.
The genuine smartest woman.
They did have the highest IQ in recorded history.
And she has this.
She had, I don't know if she's still in a column in Parade magazine or one of those kind of things where people sit in, you know, genius questions and she would answer them.
And I'd run into him in a lobby now and then.
Anyway, for those of you who take Lipitor, he's been the spokesman for Lipitor on television.
And all of a sudden, Pfizer, the manufacturer, has decided to yank Dr. Robert Jarvik from its television commercials.
They took him and the inventor of the artificial heart off the mound as pitchman for Lipitor after his credentials in medicine and his own exercise regimen came under fire.
Now, in the ads, which began their heavy rotation on TV and in print in 2006, Jarvik touts the benefits of Pfizer's cholesterol-lowering drug.
As of Monday afternoon, his photo still appeared on their website advertising the drug.
But, but, but, House Democrats said the ads could be misleading to consumers because Jarvik appeared to be giving medical advice, even though he's not licensed to practice medicine.
While Jarvik holds a medical degree, he didn't complete the certification requirements to practice medicine.
John Dingell and Bart Stupak, both Democrats, said yesterday the company made the right decision.
They said a joint statement.
Well, Stupak said when consumers see and hear a doctor endorsing a medication, they expect the doctor as a credible individual with requisite knowledge of the drug.
Now, you might be asking yourself, Rush, with the big Democrat debate tonight and Hillary Clinton, who, by the way, I don't know if you've noticed, she's looking more and more like a women's basketball coach every day.
This is not good.
Shouting and screaming out there and pointing at everybody else as though they're to blame.
At any rate, you may be wondering with all that going on, why am I bringing up Dr. Robert Jarvik and this Lipitor in a commercial?
Because two Democrats in the House say he's not qualified.
He's not a doctor.
He can't be giving advice.
What the hell do they do every day?
Democrats in this country claim to know how to run the oil business.
They know how to run Walmart.
They claim to know how to run the healthcare business overall.
Democrats in this country claim to know everything that's wrong with everything in the private sector and with capitalism, and they think they can do it better.
I will stack Dr. Jarvik's credentials up against anybody when it comes to describing this drug and what it does to anybody in Congress.
Misleading?
All right, if we're going to go there, then everything that comes out of a Democrat's mouth about what's wrong with this country and how to fix it is misleading because everything they want to do has been shown to fail.
As in socialism, as in madcap liberalism.
So, and I'm not saying this because I know Jarvik and I don't know, I haven't seen him in decades.
I haven't seen him in years, but I saw the story.
I said, well, what?
What in the name of Sam Hill?
Well, I don't know who they're going to get to recommend it.
I know you get it for your own.
I know you can't go into the doctor's office and say, hey, I saw this Jarvik guy on TV says I need that.
Oh, Jarvik, fine.
Here's your script.
Your own doctor has to give you this stuff in the first place.
Your own doctor has to prescribe it.
What?
It's a cholesterol medicine, right?
And of course, the side effects of a cholesterol medicine happen to be the liver, and that's why it's prescription, and they have to be very careful.
I know Ted Kennedy would be good for it.
His liver's already damaged.
Exactly right.
Ted Kennedy advising us on anything.
I mean, he's the guy that invented HMOs, and now he wants to put them out of business.
Just a little bugaboo of mine, folks.
And then here's another story from the Associated Press.
You remember yesterday's opening monologue?
I was on a tear.
I was livid about a number of things, but primarily among them is the fact that Republicans for way too long have just been accepting the premise of Democrat agenda items and then trying to massage these premises and make them look like they're more Republican.
But if the Democrats come out and say, we need universal health care, the Republicans don't say, no, we don't.
What we need to do is come up with a way to make it more price conscious relative to people's ability to pay in the private sector.
No, we come out with our own plan to get everybody insured to show that we care.
When it comes to cafe standards and automobiles, Democrats say we all got to start driving junk.
Republicans say, well, okay, we'll start driving junk, but 15 years later, the Democrats want us to start driving it.
It never challenged the premise of any.
And the three areas of the private sector I talked about yesterday, they're out of control.
Food, price of food, biofuels and all energy, and medicine.
And lo and behold, the AP inflation at the wholesale level soared in January by the fastest pace in 16 years, pushed by what?
Rising costs for food, rising costs for energy, rising costs for medicine.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that wholesale prices rose 1% last month.
That's more than double the 0.4% increase that economists have been expecting.
The worse than expected performance was certain to capture attention at the Federal Reserve, which has chosen to combat a threatened recession by aggressively cutting interest rates and blah, Okay, rising prices.
Who's been in charge of fixing these areas of our culture and our economy?
A bunch of bureaucrats.
Both parties.
Democrats get most of the blame here because they're the ones behind biofuels, which is causing food prices to rise.
Energy, Democrats, again, not allowing us to go find our own sources, increasing the world supply, bringing the price down.
And of course, medicine.
You all know the story, what's going on with medicine.
In fact, there's a, get this, a companion story, by 2017.
That's only nine years from now.
By 2017, total health care spending will double to more than $4 trillion a year.
Folks, the whole federal budget this year is, what, $3 trillion, $3.1?
In eight years, health care spending alone will be $4 trillion.
It'll account for one of every $5 the nation spends.
Health is projected to consume an expanding share of the economy, which means that policymakers, insurers, and the public will face increasingly difficult decisions about the way that health care is delivered and paid for, said a bunch of economists.
Hell's bills.
Same thing with the headed down the road with Social Security and Medicare and any number of other things that are entitlement in nature.
Do you think at some point we might want to look at how to reduce costs rather than factor who's going to pay for all of this and how?
Is the idea here that we're going to, okay, $4 trillion every year by 2017?
Cool.
Fine.
Let's figure out who's going to pay the bill for it.
Let's figure out who's not going to get covered when they're insurance because this is unaffordable.
You think it might be wise to start looking at reducing costs?
Nine years?
That's going to go by like that.
And by the way, it's not just going to jump up to $4 trillion overnight.
It's going to be a gradual increase to get there.
And I don't hear anybody talking about health care, talking about reducing costs.
I hear about getting everybody covered.
And I hear if you choose not to get insurance, Hillary or Obama is going to garnish your wages and make sure that you get covered.
Otherwise, universal health coverage doesn't work.
But if you are a young buck, a young stud, you're single, you're 26, 27 years old, you don't want to buy health insurance, they're going to make you.
You have to spend money you don't want to spend.
After you've gone out and spent money on a bunch of light bulbs you don't want, by the way, story in a Boston, I think Boston Herald, not the Boston Globe, is one of the Boston papers.
Some woman was running around and her compact fluorescent blew up and broke mercury all over the place.
She was urged to get out of the house, not vacuum it up, just circulate it more in the air, and had to cut out a section of the carpet where the mercury spilled.
Actually, cut it out and get it out of there.
And these things, what, 2012 are going to be mandatory if all that holds?
Still steaming here, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm partially steaming at what so many people in this country just sit back and accept.
All right, we've got to take a break here.
Barack Obama, the presumptive Democrat nominee, whining and moaning about the pictures of him dressed up as bin Laden that have been circulating out there.
A lot of the media is upset at these pictures, too.
It's a horrible thing.
It's a horrible smear.
Come on.
Made the point.
Yes, this is nothing.
This is absolutely nothing.
And Obama's out there acting all hurting.
This is so beneath us.
It's time for the official Obama criticizer when we get back.
And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
El Rushbo serving humanity simply by showing up.
We are here at the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Barack Obama on our San Antonio EIB affiliate, WOAI, with anchor Jim Forsyth.
Forsythe said, Senator Obama, what's your feeling on this picture incident where you're dressed up out there like bin Laden and politics like this?
I think the American people are saddened when they see this kind of politics.
Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton or Bill Clinton, that when you travel to other countries, oftentimes they ask you to try on a traditional garb that has been given as a gift.
The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was scheduled to make a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world, I think, is sad.
Turn now to the official EIB Obama criticizer, Bo Snerdley.
This is Bo Snerdley, official EIB Barack Criticizer, African American, certified black guy, black enough to criticize.
I have a statement.
Senator Obama, your reaction to the release of the picture showing you in native garb with your extended family in Africa was regretful.
While the motives of the Clinton camp and disseminating the image are clear, your response was baffling.
Instead of acting wounded, whining, and like you're ashamed of the photo in the first place, it would have been wiser for you to take pride in the photo.
Explain that world leaders such as yourself often wear the traditional garb when you visit foreign lands, especially if you're visiting your family.
You could have also dug up the pictures of both Bill and Hillary Clinton attired in similar African garb while they were pretending to be the black president and first lady.
Bad form, Mr. Obama.
You need to develop a much thicker skin and not fall for Clinton tricks.
Now the translation for EIB brothers and sisters in the hood.
Yo, oh, what's up with you acting dissed when Hillary rolled out a shot of you with your African garb?
Yo, you were in the motherland with the peeps.
That was lame, yo.
These are your peeps.
You were styling.
Instead of acting dissed, you should have rolled out large and told Clinton and everybody else what was up.
This is what the big dogs do, yo.
Not like Bill faking it, putting on some Kente cloth when he goes to Africa, then forgetting all about the homeboys when he comes back home.
Like that.
You should have also told Hillary, yo, baby, maybe if you dress up in some costumes, get out of that bumblebee outfit, you might keep your man at home for a change.
Okay?
You feel me?
Don't fall for Clinton trichonology, bro.
That concludes this statement.
That's official Obama criticizer Bo Snerdley, ladies and gentlemen, here at the EIB network.
Bill Clinton also wanted to weigh in today.
Where is this?
I had it.
I had it right here in the stack.
Somebody have been tampering with my stacks.
There is the I think I found it.
Here it is.
You won't believe this, folks.
This is a headline.
What is this?
This is newscientist.com news service.
And I kid you not.
The only question I have is: were they drunk when they wrote this headline and story?
Here's the headline: Hope dims that Earth will survive sun's death.
The future looks bright for the Earth, but not the way we had hoped.
The slim chance our planet will survive when the sun begins its death throes has been ruled out.
In a few billion years, the sun will fuse the last of its hydrogen into helium, turn into a red giant, and expand to 250 times its current size.
At first, the sun's loss of mass will loosen its gravitational pull on Earth, which will allow the planet to migrate to a wider orbit about 7.6 billion years from now.
Some scientists actually sitting around speculating, curious whether or not the Earth can survive the sun's death.
I'm speechless on this.
This is, I know what they're talking.
They're talking about when the sun begins to die out, not when the sun has gone dark.
I understand that.
But, You know, if there are a bunch of scientists wondering about this, how in the world can they also have some scientists in this global warming hoax totally ruling the sun out of being a factor in anything going on?
By the way, the National Post in Canada with a great story.
Forget about global warming.
Welcome to the new ice age snow cover over North America, much of Siberia, Mongolia, China, greater than at any time since 1966.
Happily so, ladies and gentlemen, making the complex understandable.
What do I look that bad?
No, I am worn out.
I really will admit that I'm worn out, but I'm going to soldier on here.
I'm going to gut it out for the next two and a half hours.
Chris Dodd has endorsed Obama.
Can somebody tell me the last person Chris Dodd endorsed in a presidential campaign?
Nope, wasn't John Kerry.
Nope, wasn't Jimmy Carter.
Dawn, you want to take a stab at this?
The last candidate was not Bill Clinton.
The last candidate, Brian, take a stab at this.
The last candidate endorsed by Chris Dodd.
It's not that big a deal.
Name was Ned Lament, who ran on the Democrat ticket for Lieberman's seat in the Senate in 2006.
So there's the value of a Chris Dodd endorsement.
Also, ladies and gentlemen, Hillary's not left out of this.
Hillary got a major endorsement today.
It is being reported by the drive-bys.
A Hobbit endorsed Hillary today.
Sam Wise Gemji, otherwise known as Sean Aston, has endorsed Hillary Clinton today.
I checked the email during the break.
A lot of people, Rush, where are you feeling so bad about Hillary going down the tubes?
Well, because I really think I started this snowball heading down the mountainside.
I think I started this avalanche.
Take you back.
It was the day before, maybe it was the day of, I'm not sure, but they had a debate in Philadelphia, Drexel University.
And that day, there was a story in New York Newsday about what a nuclear issue driver's licenses for illegal aliens was in New York and how Mrs. Clinton hadn't been asked about it.
And I'm reading this reporter in Newsday write this, and I start screaming.
Well, then ask her.
What are you doing?
Saving her?
What are you protecting her?
You're shielding her?
If it's such a nuclear issue, ask her about it.
Well, Russert did that night in the debate at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
And that's when the wheels came off and Dodd jumped all over her and Obama jumped all over all these because she had she flip-flopped two or three times during the debate and she said something different in the debate than she had said to the editorial board meeting of some New Hampshire newspaper.
That's when it all started.
And folks, it wouldn't have happened had I not made a big deal.
There was nobody who would have seen that Newsday story and thought to ask Mrs. Clinton about it.
But it was her state.
It was the state of New York, and it was her governor, Elliot Spitzer, that was thinking of giving driver's licenses to illegals.
Of course, our friends of the Wall Street Journal, other places say illegal immigration is not a story.
It's not a big issue.
It's not going to matter.
But it was the thing that started this tumbleweed.
But at the time, I had no idea.
I literally had no idea that the Clinton machine would be this embarrassed.
I had no idea they would be this ineffective.
I am stunned.
It is obvious.
It is obvious that the Clinton machine doesn't have anything on Obama.
Because if they'd have had anything on Obama, the type of things that Clinton Inc. usually uses on people, it brought it out before Super Tuesday.
But now they're out there, you know, these pictures, charges of plagiarism and so forth.
It's pathetic.
It is weak.
And as I said yesterday, we don't want this Democrat campaign to win now.
There's a story, a couple of them here in the Democrat stack that I have today, of Republican voters in Texas planning across the aisle vote for Obama.
No, no, no.
I know we discussed this.
We had callers here seeking advice, asking if they should pimp themselves for a day.
And since we have our nominee, Senator McCain, just go across the aisle and vote for Obama.
It could be fun.
But I've been thinking about this.
We need Hillary.
You know, we need the soap opera.
I mean, Hillary Clinton is J.R. Ewing, and her husband, Bill, is Sue Ellen.
And we need to keep this soap opera going, but we also need the chaos.
We need somebody roughing up Obama before it's our turn to get there because, as has been demonstrated, Republicans have a reticence of doing so.
They are sending out memos.
We can't attack Obama.
We'll be accused of racism.
Somebody's got to criticize.
I'm going to get bloody the guy up.
He's shown he's sensitive to it here.
And the Clintons are the one to do this.
And if they can pull out one of these two states, Texas or Ohio, then she will go on.
We need chaos in this party.
Bill Clinton ran a commercial on this program moments ago asking for that very here.
Mike, do you have that commercial again with Ted Kennedy singing it the whole way through?
Bill Clinton is asking for the same thing, my man.
Clinton and I on the same page here.
So you say, President Clinton's on our side of this.
We have to keep this going.
Look, it's about winning, folks.
It is about the Democrats being defeated.
We need them at war with one another.
It's like when the enemy is eating themselves alive, you pass the salt, you get out of the way.
They are tearing themselves apart.
They've got an uncivil race war going on.
We heard yesterday that South Florida liberal Jewish voters do not and will not vote for Obama.
Koki Roberts and Dee Dee Myers are still on the war path today about what was happening yesterday.
They are fed up.
They are livid.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's this highly competent white woman, and she has given this country everything, 35 years.
And people are fleeing.
And they're going to vote for a rookie?
A black guy?
Hey, think it's sexism?
Let's go to audio soundbite number four.
Last night, the Tavis Smiley show on PBS.
He talked to former press secretary Dee Dee Myers.
Tavis Smiley said, assess for me from your womanhoodness.
He actually said that.
Tavis Smiley on PBS, assess for me from your womanhoodness.
How has Hillary been treated or maltreated?
I don't think a woman with Senator Obama's credentials, eight years in the Illinois state legislature and two years in the United States Senate before he announced his candidacy for president, would have been taken seriously.
And I think it would have been very, I think she would have been treated like a nutjob.
The press has been harder on Hillary.
I think you can still say pretty much anything about a woman without much penalty.
Rush Limbaugh has said horrible things about Hillary Clinton.
And, you know, Rush Limbaugh says horrible things about a lot of people, but nobody reacted to the really sexist nature.
He said, does America really want to watch a woman get old before our eyes?
As if men don't age in the White House, by the way.
So I just think all those things are kind of undermining of her candidacy and her campaign.
Dee Dee Myers struggling in vain for a coherent thought in the answer to her question to Tavis Smiley.
Dee Dee, my comment was discussed and sliced and diced for two weeks, if not more.
And you might be interested in knowing that people like Maureen Dowd understood what I was talking about.
I was talking about American culture and our addiction to perfection and wondering whether or not that would run be deleterious for Mrs. Clinton.
It looks like it may have been.
I was on to something and a lot of people knew this.
As if men don't age.
We haven't discussed that, Dee Dee.
Men age, and unfortunately for women and everybody else, men happen to get better looking.
They acquire more stature.
Well, in some cases, it's true.
I mean, you can find examples where this is not the case.
But we all know this is a lament.
Come on, I'm not making anything up here.
This is nothing new.
I just have the guts to verbalize it.
And we all know this is the case.
And I simply asked the question after that picture that ended up on the Drudge Report.
But it was not swept under the rug, and I caught a lot of grief for it.
But anyway, you see Dee Dee still miffed, still upset that women are going to abandon Hillary after all she's accomplished.
Yesterday, you had these women thinking they've been sold out.
Their lives mean nothing now because people are betraying Hillary and abandoning her.
Kokie Roberts back at it today.
Good morning, America today.
Robin Roberts said, you know, many people are wondering how far she can go in attacking Obama.
Even President Clinton's former press secretary, Dee Dee Myers, made a comment about it being harder being a woman to walk that fine line.
I think that's absolutely true.
It is hard for women to succeed in walking that fine line.
And words like shrill and strident are applied to women, words you never hear applied to a man.
So it's very difficult.
And she hasn't always succeeded.
Really?
Have anybody ever heard of Howard Dean?
Shrill, strident?
Anyway, I got to take a time out here, folks.
We'll be back.
Your phone calls are coming up right after this.
Tight.
Yeah, I want to go back to the archives.
By the way, welcome back.
Rushland Boy as usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Back to the archives.
This is what started the nosedive of the Clinton campaign.
This is me.
This is October 30th of 2007.
What is amazing to me about this is how Mrs. Clinton gets to be quiet when she wants to be quiet.
This is her state.
The fact that she's a presidential candidate only adds to the fact she should be asked about this.
The fact that she's a senator from the state of New York and is not being peppered by the press.
What do you think of the governor's plans here for illegal immigrants getting driver's license?
It's amazing how she's able to skate.
She's given a pass.
It's too radioactive for her, writes the AP.
Man, oh man, oh man, what I have loved over several occasions in the last 18 years for you Dunkoffs in the media to think certain issues were too radioactive for me to talk about.
Good grief.
Woman doesn't have to say diddly squat about anything and she doesn't.
Well, see, that's a long time ago now.
So let's jump forward later that night at the debate.
It was on DNC TV, Drexel University, Tim Russert said, Senator Clinton, the governor of New York, Elliot Spitzer's, proposed giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
He told the National New Hampshire editorial board, makes a lot of sense, or you told them that.
Why does it make a lot of sense to give an illegal immigrant a driver's license?
Well, what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform.
We know in New York we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally.
They are undocumented workers.
They are driving on our roads.
The possibility of them having an accident that harms themselves or others is just a matter of the odds.
It's probability.
So what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is to fill the vacuum.
So she tried to dump this off on the Bush administration.
And then Chris Dodd and a whole bunch of others on the panel just jumped her and she tried to rephrase her position.
So she flip-flopped in the debate.
But anyway, I just wanted to get it on record here and document it, remind you, this is when it all started.
That's why it's part of the reason I'm feeling bad today.
Brought this on.
But I never thought it would get to this point.
I never thought it'd get to the point where if he loses two more states, it's effectively over.
And unless they bomb the convention hall in Denver in August, still a possibility, by the way.
Jay in Cleveland, let's start on the phones.
Great to have you with us, sir.
And you're in the middle of like a blizzard up there.
Rush.
Yes, absolutely.
It's a little snowy sitting out here in the car in a parking lot here during lunch and listening to the show.
And I absolutely agree 100% with everything you've just said about Hillary.
I'm one of those Republicans who I'm going to pimp my vote and vote for Hillary next week in Ohio here.
I encourage everybody else to do the same thing.
We've got to keep the chaos going.
But, Rush, I got to tell you, I don't think you're taking this far enough.
I tell you that if you start looking at all the polls and the trends and everything, Obama is going to crush John McCain in the general election because the media is going to give him a free pass and the base for the Democrats is going to be energized.
And of course, John McCain being our nominee, the base isn't really going to be fired up for him.
So it's just a slaughter waiting to happen, so to speak.
However, if Hillary gets the nomination, especially if she has to rip it from Obama at the last second at the convention, then you've got a whole segment of the Democrat base that are likely going to sit out or maybe even switch over to the Republican side.
If Hillary's the nominee, then the Republican base gets fired up.
John McCain actually looks good and on and on and on.
Well, let's take the first thing you said.
These national polls, I've seen them that show Obama cleaning up against McCain.
You can't, it's only February, and these polls don't mean anything yet.
They really, really don't.
But you can't ignore them, but you have to analyze them in a certain way.
How much of the wilder effect is in these polls?
We know a lot of people are going to vote against Obama who will not telepoliser that.
We just know this.
But I'm not, I agree with you.
Hillary is already a known quantity.
She's so well known, half the country hates her.
Exactly.
She's got negatives.
We don't have time to build up that kind of, and we're not going to succeed in building up that kind of disapproval number for Obama.
It just isn't going to happen.
But beyond that, the whole point, we want the Democrat Party to do as much as it can to destroy itself.
There are a lot of fractures and fissures in this party right now.
It is not smooth as glass over there.
And we need this to continue.
Now, I know when you say I'm not taking it far enough, you're actually suggesting that what I want or what we all should be for is for Hillary to get the nomination.
Is that what you mean?
Get the nomination, but only if, you know, like you said, if she has to blow up the convention to do it and literally rip it away from Obama, then that's the thing.
Even if she doesn't, even if she doesn't get the nomination, we need her to bloody Obama up.
You know, he's running around.
He's messianic.
He's angelic right now.
Our party has put out memos saying we're not going to be critical of him because we don't want to be accused of being this-ism or that-ism.
The Clintons, at this point, will do anything.
They're desperate.
It doesn't matter.
They'll deal with the mess they make later.
Exactly.
But my other concern is if Obama does wrap it up here with Ohio and Texas, then the press is, you know, all this talk about, oh, the truth's going to come out about Obama, it just won't happen because the press is persistent if nothing.
You know, Abu Graham.
Whatever Dave in the New York Times.
I know.
They love Obama.
But that's where Obama's going to have some Democrat Party defections that these polls don't show.
Now, whether those people don't vote or switch across and vote for McCain is an unknown.
Anyway, Jay, I appreciate it.
I have to run here a brief time out.
Much more in this as the program unfolds.
Stay with us, my friend.
Boy, I wish I could grab like a five-minute power nap here.
I mean, I'm just, I'm.
Well, I just couldn't go to bed.
I just didn't want to go to bed.
Even though I was sleepy, I just didn't want to turn the lights out on the day.
