Time Text
Saying more in five seconds than your average host says in a week.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, on Friday, live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
One big exciting hour to go in yet another summer spectacular as I, El Rushball, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all feeling, all concerned, Maharashi.
Engage in broadcast excellence, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every time I pop out a syllable.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
This has to be the worst day in Hillary Clinton's life.
Let me describe for you what I just witnessed.
And by the way, I witnessed it from the office of Bo Snerdly, who is fit to be tied.
He is still steaming over the story we had yesterday about the upcoming PBS documentary starting on Monday night that portrays the United States is no different than the Nazis or the Russians, and that we didn't win anything in World War II, that we were just evil murderers of women and children and citizens.
Warned you about this yesterday.
Then he's also steaming about the news he just heard that a columnist for the New York Times, ostensibly a conservative, is hawking a new book by a couple young Republicans who offer as their recipe to fix the Republican Party the notion the Republicans need to look to the New Deal.
That was a conservative approach to attracting middle class, working class voters.
He's sitting in his desk, he's panting, what's next?
I don't know what's next, Mr. Sturdley, but there will be something.
Probably.
You know, that might not be uh that might that was you know what?
Here's here's you know, this is an interesting uh thing.
If you want to if you want to talk about what next based on the trend lines, you could say that up next, somebody in the pseudo-conservative media will undertake to do a new analysis of communism and suggest that there was actually a lot of conservatism involved in that.
And that uh the communists, they certainly they had control over the working class.
Well, hell's bells, folks, if you're gonna go out there and say the New Deal was conservative.
What can't be?
What can't be conservative?
Anyway, I have to tell you what I saw while Sturdley was venting back there.
I mentioned to you right before the previous hour concluded.
This has to be Mrs. Clinton's worst day of her life.
She's in Hawk 22 million bucks.
10 million of that she owes vendors.
The charter aircraft company, the hotels, the meals, the buses, you know, these kinds, the balloon people.
Uh she owes all of those people for her campaign.
She's in debt, so she's turned to Obama for help.
And Obama has said that he will do what he can.
His donors, he's ruled out his 15 and 20 dollar donors.
Uh that won't make it that.
He's going after the big guns.
So you have this lady in Hawk for millions who can't raise a plug nickel.
And she's also at the same time telling her money machine to go out and help and give to Obama.
So while she's telling her people to give to Obama, Obama's telling his people to give to her.
But today, she had to go to a place called Unity, New Hampshire, where Obama is saying real change can't happen without unity.
Obama's the star of the show, obviously, is the nominee.
Mrs. Clinton is standing there throughout his speech, off to his right, stage left, as you're looking at your TV.
The crowd's going nuts.
They got a mixture of white and black people in the TV shot in the background, and they've interestingly got red signs and blue signs to denote unity between the red states and the blue states.
And Obama's being cheered as he usually is, and Mrs. Clinton is standing there with a look of admiration and awe on her face while he speaks.
She's standing there doing nothing.
She's standing there as the loser.
She knows that everybody knows that she's standing there because she needs ten million dollars from this little rookie hick who wiped her out, took away her only chance, perhaps to achieve what she thought was hers by virtue of Jennifer Flowers.
And Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky and Juanita Broderick and all the others.
It's gone.
Poof.
Twenty-two million in debt.
She's standing there listening to this guy go on and on and on, and she knows full well that the only difference between what he is saying and a bag of manure is the bag.
And she's standing there while looking admiringly and in awe at Barack Obama, cursing her campaign staff, her husband, and everybody involved in her campaign, and she is really teed off at whoever it was that convinced her to show up in Unity New Hampshire today to stand there like an irrelevant,
defeated candidate, looking admiringly at somebody she'd like to squash like a cockroach.
Except there would be too many witnesses if she did it today.
So she had you you talk about I mean, we all in life folks, some days, you know, we all have to eat the excrement sandwich.
Some days we get mayonnaise, some days we get mustard, some days it's plain today was plain.
She is asking herself through all of this, what in the name of hell happened here.
She demonstrated today, among many things, that the age old cliche that women can fake it, and thank God they can is true.
Because this was one of the biggest fake job appearances I have ever seen.
This was the last place she wanted to be.
This was the last circumstance she wanted to be, the last place and circumstance she ever thought she would be.
Her husband wasn't there, he didn't have to stand up there as a loser.
He's out working the crowd looking for babes.
Or whatever, signing autographs.
She's up there in the blue pantsuit, standing demurely off to the side as an irrelevancy, with her hands clasped in front of her, looking admiringly and in awe at the Messiah.
And Obama did dame to mention her a couple of times.
And the crowd applauded tepidly.
Mrs. Clinton turned to the audience and acknowledged the tepid plause with a frozen smile on her face.
Obama continued to speak reveling in this moment, knowing full well that she looked like a dwarf compared to his tall stature.
No jacket, white shirt and tie, sleeves rolled up, Mrs. Clinton all wrapped up like it's winter time because of the frieze that she feels in unity at New Hampshire.
And then, ladies and gentlemen, after putting after going through this show for what appeared to be ten, twelve minutes into Mrs. Clinton, it had to be a day.
Obama then graciously ends the performance.
After he soaks up some applause for a second or two, he then moves in Her direction and puts his arm around her.
She immediately instinctively, I'm not even sure she was aware she did this.
Moved in the opposite direction.
When Obama made the move toward Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton made the move away from Obama.
But he caught up.
And they held hands, and the applause was happening, and Mrs. Clinton had the saddest smile I have ever seen on her face.
And I said to Snerdly watching this, now wait a minute, we gotta get to both raise their hands up, you know, like they do at the convention.
That didn't happen.
They held hands for a mere matter of seconds.
And then the piece de resistance, the ultimate insult.
and When they separated, Mrs. Clinton darted to the left.
Out of camera range.
Senator Obama stood for a few more seconds, soaking in the applause, looking around.
Where did you go?
Then he said, Oh, to hell with it.
And walked off the stage immediately behind the podium where he was mobbed.
The cameraman then said, because I'm sure somebody was talking to his ear, where's Hillary?
And that camera did a massive pan back and for searching for Hillary.
Couldn't find Hillary.
She was nowhere.
They found Obama mobbed.
They finally did find Hillary talking to one woman, smiling, signing an autograph.
The point is, when this was over, these two went opposite directions.
As fast as an AC current meets a DC current.
Music Maestro Barry White.
Love Unlimited Orchestra.
Name of the Remember the name of this tune, Snerdley.
My sweet summer sweet.
I love Barry White.
His wife's name was Glode.
One of them anyway.
There's a uh picture, a funny picture here from a blog called the Say Anything blog, and it's from the from their June 10th issue of the Say Anything blog.
And I guess there's a they were somewhere they were asking people the question uh should Congress continue to fund National Public Radio.
I knew it was a newspaper, because what they've done is link here to pictures of local residents who answer the question.
Now there's a guy here, his name is Richard Guess from Charlestown.
I don't know Charlestown where, doesn't say.
But this guy looks exactly like what you think liberals think Southerners look like.
And here is Richard Guess's answer to the question should Congress continue to fund National Public Radio.
Congress should continue paying for it, because if they don't, the taxpayers will end up paying for it.
Now what do you bet this guy votes Democrat?
All right, back to the phones on Open Line Friday.
This is Bill in uh in Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania.
Hi, Bill, great to have you here.
Oh, Megadiddos, Rush.
Thank you.
How are you today?
Good.
Thanks, sir.
Great show.
Hey, uh, I have a couple questions about cigars for you.
Yes, sir.
Um I started buying some La Florida Dominicana double Liguero chisels.
Good man.
I I guess last year.
Uh and I actually I I talked to the uh to the salespeople at the shop where I buy my adult beverages and my cigars.
Yes.
And um they gave me some hints on how to cut these things properly.
You don't cut them.
Yo, double, you use a plug cutter about a quarter inch up.
No, no, no, no, you don't cut the La Flor Dominicana double Liguero chisel.
Good.
This is what I was looking for.
You don't cut that thing.
Why get rid of the chisel?
The purpose of the chisel is to focus and concentrate the smoke as you draw it from the cigar.
If you put a hole in that thing, you're defeating the purpose.
Well, all you do, here's what you do with the La Flor Dominicana double Liguerro chisel.
You just take the end of the chisel and you pinch it.
Okay.
And it'll the the wrapper leaf will split at the end, and there you go.
You never cut a La Flor Dominicana double lighero chisel.
Okay, well let me explain myself a little further.
Brian, go grab me one out of the humidor.
They were using uh uh a plug cutter, and they would go about a quarter inch up the flat.
Yeah.
And cut into the side of the chisel.
Yeah.
The tip of the chisel would stay intact.
Yeah.
And you would have a plug cut removed from the top or the bottom of that chisel.
Yeah, but how far up?
I mean, you don't want to have to swallow the damn thing to do.
Oh no, you don't.
It's i it you don't have to go very far.
And it seems like uh you can direct the smoke to the top of your mouth or the bottom of your mouth.
But you're telling me all you do is just pinch the animal.
I I I've got one in my formerly nicotine stained fingers right here.
Okay, so if you're watching.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you a member of my website?
Absolutely.
Are you watching right now the ditto cam?
No.
Well, you will be able to see this later on the ditto cam if you go to my website, right?
No, okay.
Well, my uh my computer right now is a little slow and a little down.
Um it's not working?
Uh it's working a little bit, but what you're saying is you can't watch video.
No, I can't.
Okay, well, I'm gonna this is easy.
Okay.
What I'm gonna do is uh I'm gonna have the webmaster grab a still shot of what I'm gonna do here.
Okay.
We'll put the still shot on the website this afternoon when we update it, and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
Great.
Okay.
Now I'm gonna have to beg your indulgence because I've got to zoom in the ditto cam here to the double lighter chisel.
And there it is.
Oh, it's gonna give me focus.
Let me back out.
Okay, there it is, the band.
What he's talking about here, folks, is getting a circular cutter to put right in the top there, about there, and and just go about in an eighth of an inch in and pull that plug out, and then with that you've put your cigar in your mouth, and that way you have the uh smoke coming out of the top of the cigar.
Absolutely correct.
But this is not the way to do it.
I'm gonna point the show show the chisel here.
Get it up against my black shirt.
You can see why they call it a chisel.
You just take your finger, pinch it, like this.
It now draws like great.
Let me back out here.
I'm gonna light it.
I have not cut it.
There's not one hole in the wrapper, top or bottom.
There is a barely detectable slit at the very end of the chisel.
In this way, when I draw the tobacco and the smoke from the cigar, it concentrates through that chisel for one of the finest tastes a cigar smoker will ever experience the La Flor Dominicana double lighter chisel is the strongest cigar I have ever smoked from anywhere.
Is that well, you know, down at the the uh the shop that I buy mine from, I also buy other double ligueros that are not chisels.
And uh they're kind of astounded because I've I've smoked up to five of them on a Saturday afternoon.
Well and uh this was the question, because my regular everyday cigar is a punch elite.
Or some of the time I go with a punch Rothschild.
Yeah, those are much, much milder.
I could have d you are you one of these people that start out with a mild cigar at the beginning of the day and then you get stronger as the day goes on.
I'll tell you how it happened.
I was handed fifty-five Tiamos back in nineteen ninety by a friend of mine, and I was on third shift and I used to listen to you religiously every day because I couldn't sleep during the daytime.
Yeah, yeah.
And uh somewhere along that line, I heard you talking about the La Flores.
Um I was a little reluctant to buy them at the time because I didn't have the cash flow I do now, and they're a little pricey.
Uh but uh what do they cost you?
Uh a double ligero chisel is about seven bucks a pop.
Oh, you're getting a deal.
Well, I don't know.
There's a couple of places that I found them a little cheaper if I buy them by the box load.
Well, the point is this.
Let me when you you talk about your punches, your Rothschild and uh yeah, I uh the elite.
No, no, no.
Do you start your day with a mild cigar and then build up to a strong one after dinner, is that what you do?
Uh my day start my cigar smoking starts when I come home from work, and that could be anywhere from six to six thirty in the middle.
Oh, okay.
Well then that's a because most people make a mistake of starting mild during the day and then get stronger as the day goes on.
Oh no.
You smoke the first cigar you smoke of the day.
I don't care when it is you smoke your favorite.
Because that's when your palate is the most receptive to the flavor.
Saturday and Sundays are when I usually burn my La Flores.
And I I have sitting here in my uh my humidor is a ziplock bag with uh one of those Bovita things in it or whatever they are.
Well, everybody has to start somewhere up in there.
But uh I have these, I have three.
Uh there they look like about a Churchill size or maybe a little longer.
It's called the Factory Press.
They were not cellophane wrapped.
No, of course that that's that's a special edition cigar.
I've got I've got a box of those.
Look, go to the website tonight and you'll see what I'm talking about on how to pinch this.
You never cut one.
A Motown song.
Rod Stewart and Ronald Isley on a cover of an Isley Brothers tune of the same name.
No, take it back, different song.
This is an original.
Great to have you back, folks.
Open line Friday.
There was a an event on Capitol Hill yesterday.
Give you an idea.
Do you know how many hearings, by the way?
Uh the Congress, House and Senate combined, have had on oil and energy this year.
How many hearings there have been with the big oil execs and without just exploratory hearings?
They've had 40 hearings on oil and energy.
And has anything happened?
Yes, the prices continue to go up.
Do you know how many hearings they have had on whether or not the United States tortures detainees?
They've had over 60 in the House and Senate combined.
Over 60 House and Senate hearings.
And there was another one yesterday.
It was the Constitution Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee.
And Massachusetts Representative Bill Delahunt was questioning David Addington.
David Addington is chief of staff, former counsel of the Vice President Cheney.
Addington, a very private guy, does not show up in public.
He was forced to show up at this hearing.
They asked him the typical stupid questions, and he just stuck it to these guys by not bending over forwards and grabbing the ankles like Republicans usually do or anybody else does when they face a congressional committee.
This did not sit well with Bill Delahunt.
Who said this?
Oh, I can understand why he doesn't touch the.
You've got to communicate with Al Qaeda.
Right.
Well, I'm I'm sure they are watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington.
I'm sure you're pleased.
Now, can I you need me to translate this for you?
Delahunt said, Oh, I can understand why the president he was talking about doesn't talk about it, Addington, because you got to communicate with Al Qaeda.
If you do, I can't talk to you.
Al Qaeda may watch C-SPAN.
I can't tell you what we're doing about Al-Qaeda.
Not here.
Delahunt says, Yeah, well, I'm sure Al Qaeda's watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington.
A number of people have inferred from this that Delahunt would not be disappointed if Al Qaeda took Addington out now that they know who he is.
Delahunt has said, I didn't say they.
I I didn't, I didn't, I didn't say that finally they've had a chance to see you.
I said finally I've had a chance to see you.
Okay, he says, finally, I've had a chance.
Let's see if that's what he said.
Let's listen to this again now.
Oh, I can understand why he doesn't talk about it.
You've got to communicate with Al Qaeda.
If you do, I can't talk to you.
Al Qaeda may watch these spam.
Right.
Well, I'm I'm sure they are watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to to see you, Mr. Addington.
I'm sure you're pleased.
Did you uh hear him say I?
No, he said they twice.
These, ladies and gentlemen, your modern day liberal Democrats of the Democrat Party, BC in Birmingham, Alabama, your next and open line Friday.
Hello.
Rush, thanks for being there for us.
Yes, sir.
Thanks for at least injecting a little bit of uh humor into gloomy looking times here.
Hey, when we're talking Obama and Hillary, I mean, you gotta laugh.
They're they're funny.
I know they pose a threat, but I mean that they're just they're they're both laughable.
Well, well, that's true.
But I've got a little bit of concern about the the stock market.
Uh, if and when our friend Obama gets elected.
Uh I'm a former broker, and uh, you know, the market bottomed out in 2002 in I think it was September.
And there's an awful, awful lot amount, a lot of institutional money in the market that's been sitting there on long time capital gains.
And Obama's already promised to raise the capital gains tax.
And there's not an institutional trader out there is gonna allow their trading performance rating to be ruined by uh ten ten or fifteen percent increase in the capital gains tax.
So when he's elected, it's going south.
Yeah, I hear what you're saying.
Uh that the all these people with realized gains that are significant are gonna sit around and let Obama tax the cap gains that they've experienced over the years at twenty-five percent votes to the current fifteen, so they just sell out.
Yeah.
Uh, and that'll take a lot of money out of the markets, what you're saying.
Yeah.
Uh well, you know, i i it's no this is no comfort, but when Obama was talking about raising the capital gains, do you remember what he said?
Somebody pointed out to him, Senator, he said, I'm gonna raise capital gains uh at least to 25 and maybe 30 percent.
And they said, Senator, do you realize what a tax increase that is on investors?
Well, okay, then we'll we'll just we'll we'll uh we'll we'll we'll have a lower increase for middle class uh investors.
And people were scratching their he doesn't know what he's talking about.
No.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
He has changed his mind on FISA.
He has flipped on the constitutionality of the second amendment.
He probably will flip on this.
Uh in in the sense.
I don't think he's gonna raise the capital gains right now.
I don't think he's gonna double it.
But I tell you you you if you're a broker, you're looking at the market right now, we don't need Obama.
All we need is the all we need's the threat of Obama.
You tell an I you know, we haven't talked about this.
This market, there is more fear in this market than I have seen in I don't know how long.
General Motors is trading uh at a historic low.
Fort Ford is at an historic low.
They've got to sell bonds.
There's some people reluctant to buy bonds to get in and prop these things up.
Those two companies employ five hundred thousand Americans.
They're not we I I guarantee you if if things keep up there w we are not going to allow them to go bankrupt.
That that that somebody will step in like a Chrysler bailout, some something will happen.
But it's bad uh in in this regard.
And there's the you know why is this why is there so much pessimism in the market?
Well, where is all the pessimism today?
You turn on the news any day and you find out gasoline's gonna be seven bucks in four years, oil's gonna be two hundred bucks in four years, then we got everybody focusing on a Federal Reserve every day.
What are you gonna do with interest rates?
What are their minutes say?
Uh we've we've got uh just a a number of people worried, all these Democrats talking about raising taxes left and right.
You don't and and they look at the polls, they look at the McCain campaign, they say, Oh my God.
Don't tell me that doesn't have an impact on on people and the way they're thinking of investing.
Oh yeah.
What I'm hoping is is that enough people will realize this decline is a huge buying opportunity.
I mean, we're down in the eleven hundred today, folks.
We haven't been here since two thousand what is it, two thousand six?
Yeah.
It's it's uh well, we're down seventy-two points right now.
On top of three hundred something.
Yeah, but we were down a hundred and forty, so it's rebounding a little bit right now, but we were down three hundred yesterday, and that's all because even out even with there's news today that uh salaries, wages are up, uh, and uh productivity is up, but whatever the Fed did by not changing rates and the uh and the oil price did hit one hundred forty-three today.
Now, there's other interesting point about that that I want to make.
The oil barrel price did I think it's at one let me check.
I'll find out.
Right now what the oil price is, accrued oil price is at uh one forty thirty-five, but it got up to one forty-three.
Oh, four not too long ago, not many not very many minutes ago was at one forty-three.
Now, what's happening while all these these speculators are being targeted.
Every politician in Washington, speculators, these dirty rotten speculators, this the liberal machine, the leftists, the Democrats have found the demon, and it's the speculators.
Some people are trying to say, no, no, no, it's not speculators.
But the Democrats, therefore the media have identified the demon.
The reason Your gas price is so high.
The reason the oil price is so high is because these speculators.
Now you would think, would you not?
That the speculators would be a little paranoid.
You would think, and we, by the way, we hear all this talk about regulating the speculators.
McCain's talking about it.
Obama's talking about it.
A number of people are talking about getting even with these guys.
We all need a demon.
And yet the speculators saying, so what?
Screw you.
And they're going about their business, and while all these brave, courageous politicians who haven't produced a drop of oil in their lives, threatening everybody else that does, one way or the other deal with this product.
And all these threats and all these promises of heavy-handed action from Washington don't seem to be deterring the speculators.
143, speculators are sitting there speculating.
Gets to 143, they look to Washington and say, pfft you.
Which means the free market's what's working here, folks, back in just a sec.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh.
And more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
It really is.
Alex in Frisco, Texas.
I'm glad you called, sir, you're next.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.
Hi, Alex.
Hi.
Megadiddoes.
I've been I'm 16 and I've been listening to your show since I believe I was eight, so I'm a huge fan.
You are a rush baby.
Yes, I am, thanks to my dad.
Um he and I came up with a to basically ensure victory for John McCain, even though it's not really a great thing, but it's better than Obama.
Um he launches a series of ads that you know show how uh, you know, this is Obama's kind of change, and show him how he flip-flops on all the issues.
It kind of destroyed John Kerry back in uh the last election.
Yeah, you know, here's the difference.
And I have a lot of people of uh have have suggested that Obama's flip-flopping.
The problem, Carrie actually comes off as a huge lughead dope.
Obama doesn't.
When John Kerry, you know, says, I voted for it before I voted against it.
That's made to order.
Obama hasn't done that.
He said one thing last year and another thing this year, and you have to go back and contrast the two.
In Carrie's in Kerry's case, he admitted it in one sentence that you could exploit.
Uh he thinks he's so smart, and he's he's just he thinks that nobody's going to be able to keep up with him when he does dumb things.
Yeah.
And says dumb things as free.
Now, another another reason why this is a problem, it could work, but the drive-bys are in the process of handling this.
They are covering for Obama.
Let me call to your attention, Alex, a story in the New York Times today by Michael Powell.
This is a story about Obama's flip-flops.
But the Times is not calling them flip-flops.
The Times is referring to these as Obama recalibrating his positions.
For Obama, a pragmatist's shift toward the center.
And they list all kinds of issues.
The second amendment.
He's, yeah, he's a policy pirouette.
They are covered, they are saying that what you're calling flip-flops, Alex, are pragmatism, recalibrations, and maturity.
Uh and a historian in this story even admits, hey, he could be honest about these things too.
They could not be just, you know, convenience shifts, they could really mean this.
At the same time, the drive-bys are doing stories asking for some substance from Obama.
They want him to actually get serious.
He's out there saying a lot of nothing.
They want to hear him get serious, they think they've got this in the bag.
They want to hear what he's gonna do.
They want to hear liberalism out of the guy.
Mr. Obama is an introspective last line of the story, the New York Times.
Mr. Obama is an introspective candidate.
And perhaps the best analysis or analyst of his own political style.
Now stop and think of that.
The drive-bys are allowing Obama to analyze his style.
You think they would allow McCain to analyze his style, or me or George W. Bush.
No, they're gonna sit there and be in judgment of it.
Mr. Obama is an introspective candidate, perhaps the best analyst of his own political style.
Quote, Obama.
I serve as a blank screen, he wrote in the Audacity of Hope, on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.
So he's basically saying I don't have to take a position because I am what people think I am.
I have managed to be whatever they want me to be, and that's my secret.
If they want tough on foreign policy, that's what they think I am.
If they want somebody that's gonna go talk to these evil despots around the world and tame them, that's what they think I am.
If they think I'm gonna raise taxes on big oil and make the gas price better, that's what they think I am.
And I don't have to say word one.
That's what this means.
I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.
So for those of you in the drive-by-s you want substance.
Call this what it is.
Call the guy a blank slate and challenge him on it.
Instead, the drive-by's are calling him a pragmatist.
That he has executed several policy pirouettes, that he is recalibrating his positions.
So while McCain's camp could put together these commercials that show flip-flops, the drive-by reaction is going to be politics as usual.
There goes McCain, personal attacks.
Of course, Mc uh Obama has evolved.
Of course he has done policy pirouettes.
He's learning as he goes.
So it's that they're gonna have to be um, I think other ways of going back and for example, I think Obama is an empty suit, but a lot of people think that he is a 140 IQ mensa.
I don't uh yeah, it's probably a little bit of a two-too if he's pirouetting too.
But but the the point is that going after this guy is is gonna require uh a different technique than the standard.
He's lying, he's lying, he's lying.
I think the American public are sick and tired of us saying he's lying.
We said Clinton was lying, it didn't help.
Because I think frankly, they think all politicians lie.
The way to go after Obama, I don't know how to do it.
I mean, this is not my business, but he's likable.
And some something's gonna have to happen to change that.
See, Carey was not likable.
You couple that with all of his arrogance and condescending flip-flops, and he's still got a tremendous number of votes.
Anyway, I got time to squeeze one more in here.
I think I've got one minute.
Where do I go?
Time is dwittling away.
Uh oh, this is uh uh Decatur George Arburn.
Hi, nice to have you on the program.
Greetings, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Uh, I was watching the documentary earlier this week when we were kings about the Ollie Foreman fight or rumble in the jungle.
Oh, yeah.
And they were doing some uh the background on both fighters, and to do that for Ollie, of course, you have to do the two sunny listing matches.
And uh I'm a big sports fan and not a conspiracy conspiracy theorist, but I had never heard this before, and I wanted to get your take on it.
Um of course the supposed phantom punch in the second five that knocked uh Liston down.
Um Wikipedia Liston's entry on his biography, and uh in the Wikipedia entry.
What?
Quickly.
Uh, okay, uh, they said that he took a dive.
Liston claims to have taken a dive because he was threatened by the nation of Islam.
Do you think they're I've I've heard that I've heard the list and took a dive.
I've not heard about the nation of Islam.
It was a phantom punch.
Nobody saw it, even Ali said you didn't see it.
He didn't see it, it was so fast.
Who knows?
Are you depressed now because there's two days without me facing you?
