Time Text
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane.
Time for yet another excursion into broadcast excellence, hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchorman, America's truth detector, and doctor of democracy, all combined as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
The Prime Minister of Russia has told us that we must choose between Russia or Georgia.
I do not have details yet.
That's just a blaring headline.
Georgia also is saying, it appears that the Russians seem to be pulling out.
Bloomberg News just flashed this across the wire.
Now that Russia has humiliated Georgia with a punishing military offensive, it may shift its attention to reining in pro-Western Ukraine, another American ally in the former Soviet Union, moving to counter any threat.
Ukain President Viktor Yushchenko, who was poisoned, if you remember, his face is made to look real bad there, today restricted the movement of Russia's Black Sea Fleet based in the port of Sevastopol, citing national security.
The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's first order of business in confronting Ukraine likely will be to try to thwart its bid to join NATO.
As I mentioned yesterday, if the Europeans would go along with Bush's idea of letting Ukraine in NATO, oh, you can't imagine.
The cups and saucers that would be flying inside the Kremlin like you haven't seen.
There would be such anger at that.
That would be considered a major, major provocation.
So the situation remains fluid and apparently somewhat volatile as the United States and its allies weigh various forms of punishment against Russia for committing this atrocity, this wanton, unprovoked, they say, invasion into Georgia.
Although it should be noted that last Thursday night, Georgia did send some troops into South Ossetia trying to get grasp-back hold of that territory.
And then the Russians say, well, okay, fine, you do that, and we're marching in.
They use that as the pretext, but this was not something that was just triggered by action taken by Georgia last Thursday night because it took a tremendous effort to move all these divisions and armored personnel carriers and just the whole nine yards over the Caucasus Mountains in order to be ready for an invasion.
So this is something the Russians have been planning or preparing for at least for quite a while.
What do we choose between Russia and Georgia?
Well, I want to get details on that.
That's just the flash headline right now.
And the Prime Minister is Putin.
So when Putin says you've got to choose Russia or Georgia, I want to get the details of this before just reacting to a headline.
And then, of course, I want to wait to hear what the Lord Messiah Barack Obama says in reaction to this, if it's true, challenge that has been thrown down by the Russians.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, it just won't go away.
The Brett Girl story continues to effervesce.
It is amazing.
The drive-by media, which wanted nothing to do with this story for the longest time, strictly because it was a Democrat.
We played the soundbites for you yesterday of the drive-bys going, man, imagine where we'd be if he got the nomination.
They were just scared to death.
Imagine if he'd have pulled his own.
Where would BB now when a Democrat Party would be in big trouble?
Well, he didn't.
And it looks like that now the drive-bys have figured since the Inquirer did the dirty work and somebody managed to get this story outside what the drive-bys consider to be the gutter, which is the inquirer and tabloids, now they can put the full force of their own investigative teams on the story.
So we move to the CBS early show today, Pigeon O'Brien, who is a friend of Riley Hunter.
She was the guest on the CBS.
Yes, that's a Pigeon O'Brien.
She also appeared on Fox S or on Fox later on.
But the co-host, Maggie Rodriguez, said to Pigeon O'Brien, friend of Riley Hunter, is John Edwards lying?
She told you that the affair started in February or March of 2006.
He says it started five months later when his campaign hired her.
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
It started in the winter of 06.
They became involved at that point, not later in the summer when she was hired to work for the Political Action Committee.
It started in the winter of 06?
Correct.
Because that's when he was announcing his candidacy.
And as we see in these pictures, she's still working for him at the time, even though he says this is when the affair was winding down.
It started at the other end of 06 in February, March.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Oh, okay.
The very six months earlier than he says.
Drive-bys just, they didn't want to believe it.
The babes at the CBS early show just didn't want to believe it.
But Pigeon O'Brien was not flying away from her assertion.
She remained grounded in this assertion, and she wasn't even flustered or rattled here.
Later on, on the same show, the CBS early show, Pigeon O'Brien, friend of Riley Hunter, was asked this by the co-host, Maggie Rodriguez.
Do you think that John Edwards is the father of the daughter?
I do.
Why?
I don't see any other explanation.
She would not have a child with someone that she didn't love, and she loves him.
Oh, don't tell me.
Don't tell me.
Is it mine?
So Pigeon O'Brien, it's his kid.
She didn't love anybody else.
She wouldn't have a baby with anybody else that she doesn't love.
And she loves him.
And by the way, sordid things are coming out now.
She's quoted as telling people that she fully expected them to get married once the wife was out of the way, quote unquote, meaning Elizabeth.
I know, I know, I know.
It's really, it's just, it's very, very unpleasant.
It's seedy.
There he is.
Now, on the Today Show today, not MSNBC, which has no audience.
On the Today show today, Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, filed this report on the Breck girl.
NBC News has learned from a source in the Edwards campaign that John Edwards only confessed his affair to his wife after she confronted him and only after he was already announcing for president.
He told the truth slowly and not until they were in the frenzy of the campaign's official launch in late December 2006.
In fact, Edwards only revealed his affair on New Year's Eve 2006, days after he had announced.
Elizabeth Edwards' brother told people the uncertainty of her own mortality, her cancer diagnosis.
And people reported the reality that her young children will one day no longer have a mother led her to stay with her husband.
Ooh, now Andrea Mitchell digging into the Edwards affair.
And after ignoring the story for months, they're now out after the Brett girl in full force.
He's got to be wondering what happened.
You know, this guy scheduled this debate or this appearance of his on Nightline on Friday night, and he knew that nobody would be watching because of the Olympics.
And then ABC went out and publicized.
They promoted what they had.
And everybody found out it before the Olympics started.
So everybody knew about it.
And the Brett girl actually said he was mad at ABC.
He thought he had an understanding with them, that they wouldn't do anything before the interview aired, which is another illustration of the symbiotic relationship that many Democrats think that they have with the drive-by media.
We've got a stack of stuff here on the Democrat Convention that is somewhat hilarious.
Two stories, one in the Rocky Mountain News, the other in a Denver TV station's website.
Remember, we told you, ladies and gentlemen, that Obama was planning on having a lottery that would award 10 people two tickets to spend the day with him on the day of his convention speech, his acceptance speech, and then be able to stand backstage, watch the speech from backstage, meet with Obama backstage, and all you had to do was send in five books to be registered for the drawing where this would happen.
And people said, well, wait a minute, you're running a lottery here, and that's against campaign finance laws.
So they switched it around somehow.
Now, you have to do more than just send in your five bucks.
Here's an excerpt from the Rocky Mountain News.
Still, Kreider got a message telling her that she had to do six hours of volunteer work by Friday if she wanted a chance at a ticket.
Krider said she'll not do the work.
Absolutely not, she said.
Now, it's pure principle.
I was a Hillary supporter, and this is literally my first touch with the Obama campaign, and it's just disappointing.
A man who spoke to the Rocky Mountain News on the condition he not be named said he got a message saying he had to do 12 hours of phone work or canvassing to have a chance at the two tickets he wants to meet Obama.
Asked if he planned to do the work, he said, hell no.
And he called the campaign conditions blackmail.
Now, here's what I don't understand about this.
What do you call it blackmail?
I know it's a disguised racial comment, Snurly.
You're very sensitive to those kind of things.
You may have a point.
But leaving that aside, my question is, okay, here we have people, Democrats, leftists, who want to win tickets to be with Obama when he makes his big acceptance speech on Thursday night at Invesco Field at Mile High.
And they are complaining here about being micromanaged.
They're complaining about the campaign, telling them they have to do this and they have to do that and they have to do that or they can't do this and they can't do that.
They won't get their tickets.
Now, I can understand a bunch of conservatives saying, screw you.
You are not going to run my life.
But Democrats are totally willing to let Obama run their lives.
Democrats are totally willing to let the government run their lives.
And so when Obama, who is the Messiah, who is only trying to bring harmony and peace and light to the world, wants people to do some community service work for him in order to get their tickets, they are revolting.
They're looking at this as indentured servitude on the Obama plantation.
Complete with overseers, and then they get a reward if they complete the slave labor.
And the reward is two tickets at Obama's dinner table, essentially.
He had to come in from the shacks out on the plantation.
So I'm stunned.
I thought Democrats would, I mean, they're all into community service.
They're all doing all this kind of stuff.
They think we all ought to be doing more than Barack Obama's wife is running around telling people to do just that.
Don't become lawyers.
Don't go to Wall Street.
Don't become hedge fund people.
Stick to the service sector.
And what greater reward can there be than to spend hours with the master, Barack Obama, Lord Messiah, the most merciful.
And they're revolting.
And yet they're going to vote for the guy who is going to try to arrange everybody else's life like this as much as possible.
And by the way, there's other examples of this.
That's from the Rocky Mountain News in the TV station Channel 7 in Denver, Russell Haythorne reporting.
Some being told they must volunteer to get in.
Those viewers said the campaign told them they have to volunteer six hours for the campaign by Friday, August 15th, in order to get a ticket.
I got a call that if I want the ticket, I have to volunteer two shifts of three hours apiece for one ticket.
If I want two tickets, then it's four shifts of two hours apiece, said Bernice Christensen.
And the story here is full of people revolting over this.
They don't know their place.
They really don't.
And they don't understand that this is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be this close to the Messiah.
By the way, they found a prison.
They're going to use a warehouse as a prison for protesters that break the law.
They're calling it Gitmo on the Platte.
Channel 4 News Denver has learned if mass arrests happen at the Democrat convention, those taken into custody will be jailed in a warehouse owned by the city of Denver.
Investigator Rick Salinger discovered the location and managed to get inside for a look.
The newly created lockup is on the northeast side of Denver.
Inside are dozens of metal cages.
They are made out of chain-link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire.
They have constructed Club Gitmo on the plat in a warehouse in Denver.
We can only hope, therefore, that there are arrests.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Everyone's a winner.
Little hot chocolate.
Talent on loan from God.
The fallout continues now on the Brett Girl story.
This is from the Raleigh News and Observer.
The former campaign finance chairman for John Edwards said this morning he was unaware of Edwards' affair with the campaign videographer Riley Hunter when he paid to move her to California last year.
This must be, yeah, the Dallas lawyer Fred Barron.
Now, how can this possibly be true?
How can this possibly be true?
How in the world could he be unaware of Edwards' affair when he paid to move this babe to California last year?
In an email this morning to the Raleigh News and Observer, Fred Barron wrote, I'll restate what I have previously stated on one point.
I learned of the affair only a few weeks ago and had previously presumed that the tabloid stuff was all bogus.
Barron declined to comment further, but in an interview posted online by the publication Texas Lawyer, Barron said that he paid for several months' rent for Hunter and the Youngs, the ostensible father of the Chow, without informing Edwards.
Barron denied media reports he was paying as much as $15,000 a month.
According to an article published Sunday, Barron told the New York Post that Hunter, Young, and Young is, again, Edwards' buddy that supposedly is saying he fathered the kid here, that they lived together in California until tension in a household grew.
Well, you know, that could you stop and think of this now.
This guy, this guy Young, Andrew Young, says, I'm the father, John Edwards, I'm the father of the kid.
And so Andrew Young takes his wife and kids and moves into a house with Riley Hunter in California and then says they had to get out of there because the tensions grew.
Do you not think, folks, that that kind of tension might happen when you move the mistress and baby in with the wife and legitimate kids?
What are these people thinking?
How could there not be tension?
They lived in a single house most of the time.
They split to two houses recently, said Fred Barron to the New York Post.
And in more fallout, you know, Edwards established at the University of North Carolina at Charlottesville or Chapel Hill, wherever, where it was doesn't matter, one of the two campuses, Chapel Hill.
He established a center for poverty, a think tank that was going to deal with poverty.
He actually said one time, I'm going to paraphrase this, but he actually said one time that, no, the words we put out here are really good for the poor.
We're helping the poor here because we're putting out good words.
We're putting out good think pieces and people are doing a lot of good work here.
At any rate, the think tank that once provided Edwards a platform to discuss poverty in this two Americas theme of his is not counting on him to return to the fold.
Interesting.
University of North Carolina Center on Poverty, Work, and Opportunity was launched in 2005.
Edwards served as its director until he quit at the end of 2006 to launch his presidential run.
Edwards' disclosure Friday he had an affair has had no impact on contributions or grants to the nonpartisan.
Oh, of course not.
No, why would anybody think that the disclosure of the affair would have any impact on donations to Edwards' think tank?
The only real question here, folks, and this article does not address it, how will the poor survive now without John Edwards thinking and paying others to think at his think tank at the University of Virginia?
Oh, by the way, there's Boone Picketts up on TV.
Boone Pickens, it has been learned last spring, Nancy Pelosi, according to her own financial forms, invested something like $50,000 to $125,000 in Boone Pickens' plan to eventually power vehicles in this country on natural gas.
She got in in the initial public offering of this when the thing went public.
Now, it is in the best interest of Boone Pickens and all of his investors to keep gasoline prices high to make the natural gas alternative attractive.
And who is it that doesn't want any drilling for oil to add to supply?
None other than Nancy Pelosi.
Okay, back to the phones we go.
People have been patiently waiting.
It's a big thrill, as everyone knows, to appear on this program.
People have been known to wait hours, sometimes multiple days, for their opportunity to Louisville and Cliff.
Glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you, sir.
Megan Ditto's rush.
Thank you.
This SUV driving Ditto Head would like to take issue with Mr. Halbrook on his interpretation of how badly the Bushes have handled this Russian.
All right, hang on.
Let's go back and let's get the audio soundbite of that.
You mean Richard Holbrook?
Yes.
Yeah, Holbrook.
This guy's been panting, salivating, begging to be Secretary of State for any Democrat that's elected Grant.
Let's see, I'm looking for it in the.
Yeah, it's number five.
Audio soundbite number five.
Last night on PBS on the news hour with Jim Olara, co-host Margaret Warner talking to Richard Holbrook.
And the question, do you think there's been a rush to judgment in the West here about Russia being the bad guy and Georgia being the good guy victim?
Quite the contrary.
The Russians have succeeded in disseminating confusion about what happened.
The Bush administration's response here has been wholly inadequate until today.
Ten years ago, there was a similar crisis between Russia and Georgia over the two enclaves.
President Clinton dispatched the Deputy Secretary of State, Strog Talbot, who was also well known as one of his closest friends, who shuttled back and forth between Moscow and Tbilisi, who calmed it down and resolved it for the time being.
This time around, this administration sent no one to Moscow.
It was Khasarkozy who did the good job today.
Okay, Cliff, what is your objection there to what Holbrook said, other than the fact that he opened his mouth?
Well, that's enough for sure.
But no, while the Russians went under a common command of Bosnia-Herzegovina, they moved out of the Soviet sector through Bonjalina, down through Serbia, down into Pristina, occupied the airport there.
And at this particular point, Wesley Clark ordered the British commander, let's see, his name is the British commander, Mike Jackson, General Jackson, ordered him to attack the Soviets there.
And they had, that was a common man, a command.
They moved out completely through there and without notifying their command that that's what they were going to do.
Also, Mr. Talbert was also involved in negotiating along with he and Mrs. Albright and negotiating some kind of a common thing to go in for K4 in Kosovo.
And that was unsuccessful.
But they did assure Al Gore that they would not unilaterally go into Kosovo and also assured Madeline Albright that as well.
Well, you know, my memory on this, I'll have to rely on you because my memory on this is just general and it's vague.
And it basically can be summed up by saying that Holbrook and Talbot and Mark and Madeline Albright are memorable for doing nothing.
I can't think of any singular State Department diplomatic achievement that they did that botched North Korea, played for a song by Kim Jong-il, botched bin Laden, didn't do anything on terrorism.
I don't know what that administration did.
I think they avoided big things because they didn't want to threaten Clinton's high approval numbers and a legacy.
Well, one of the things, and this is a Guardian, this is a 99 report that they said that one of the reasons that Clark ordered the British paratroop troopers to attack was because he was frustrated that he was conducting that war with his hands tied behind his back.
Now, that's a Guardian report.
Well, why?
Is that because we're fighting a war from 15,000 feet?
Yeah.
Well, I would assume that's part of it.
I know for sure that they did come to the Soviets.
They didn't want to make them mad.
That's another thing, though.
Ashley Wilkes had to be replaced.
Yeah, I.
I mean, nobody distinguished themselves here.
That conflict, by the way, is not over.
Are there not still peacekeepers there raping the women and children like they do in Africa?
Oh, absolutely.
But, you know, the other aspect of that, too, is also one of the things I thought was interesting about it.
I just read this about Solsonitsin.
He coddled Solobudin Milosevic.
And that gives you a mentality of what the Soviets are.
This was their country, and they're going to fall lockstep behind everybody in support of that.
And that's why they're having Georgia and probably Poland and Ukraine and some of these other countries should probably be concerned right now.
And the other thing ever since Putin made himself prime minister for life.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
And one of the things I've noticed with some of the films that I've seen there, if you look at the equipment that the Soviets are bringing in there, this is not a ragtag army that you would expect them to have.
You know, we've been led to believe that that army is not well maintained.
If you look at those vehicles, they've got multiple launch relay tubes in there, that BTR-80 T-90s, T-90, or T-92 and T-80s.
Those are all, that's all new equipment.
I noticed those.
You're right.
And I think that's compliments of the price of oil that has given the Soviets.
By the way, don't forget the 618SAs.
You know, those things are not to be trifled with.
No, none of them are.
But I don't think that army could have been financed without the help of the Democrats and them not drilling for oil.
So I just, this Soviet, it looks to me like that they've got some good equipment there.
Now, you know, that's just one man's opinion.
But.
Well, look, we're all just reacting to what we see on television, but it's clear.
One thing is clear: they've got equipment that works.
They've got a trained army military that works.
They have equipment that's in good enough shape.
They can get it over to Caucasus.
And they had, you know, everybody makes this point, but it's well served to make it again.
This is not something they could have decided to do on the fly simply because getting this stuff in position over to Caucasus was a major undertaking.
So this is an eye-opener for a lot.
Now, it's an eye-opener to us.
We don't know what U.S. intelligence knows about this.
We don't know if they knew they were there.
We don't know if they were discovered.
There's a lot we'll not know about.
There's always more that we will never know than what we do know.
We all get fooled into thinking that what we see on television in newscasts is the sum total of things.
And as we know, it's just tough not to trust our eyes.
As we know, that's a small, small percentage of what is actually going on.
Cliff, thanks for the call.
This is Jamie in Virginia Beach.
You're next.
Hello.
Yes, Rush.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, my goodness.
This is such an honor to talk to you, Rush.
I've been a faithful listener of yours for like 20 years.
Pre-Show, you can't do any better than that.
Oh, I know.
And a viewer, too, when you were on TV, used to love to watch you and listen to you.
Thank you very much.
But you're welcome, dear.
And thank you for being brave and courageous and keep it going.
Real quick, Rush, I just want to bring a little bit home right now.
Myself and some friends went, we made a special trip up to the Capitol yesterday just to encourage the Republicans that are on the floor fighting for us concerning the energy bill.
It was an absolutely unprecedented day.
It was absolutely fantastic.
These men and women are there without, you know, I know they're coming in off their vacations to spend time.
Exactly, exactly.
And by the way, now the stories, I love these stories that Pelosi has relented and she's now considering a vote.
Let me tell you something.
This is all for show because Pelosi can see that nobody's buying her book.
There were 5,333 copies in two weeks.
And she's been on all the usual chat shows that supposedly sell books to women.
She's been on The View.
She's been on everything.
Nobody's buying her book because nobody cares about who she is.
She got a 9% approval rating in there for crying out loud.
Gas prices are the tipping point.
$4 gasoline.
The American people want something done about it.
It's easily understandable.
She's the one, along with the Democrats, standing in the way of this on purpose.
Now we learn that she's invested in Boone Pickens Company that has, as for their little plan to pay off, we need gas prices to stay high to make the alternatives that Pickens is trying to sell to people attractive.
And she's joined that effort.
There's a great odd question here for conflict.
So she's okay.
She's seen all this.
She goes, okay, I'm open to scheduling a vote.
But they'll come up with a piece of legislation that's as reckless and worthless as what the gang of 10 came up with in the Senate.
That will not lead to no drilling.
So that's why what these guys in the House are doing is crucial.
It's an election year issue.
There's not going to be a bill on this before the election.
These guys are continuing to focus attention on it because it is the issue.
That's right.
It is the issue that can launch McCain ahead.
Obama, I just got a story here, just cleared.
They're all worried in Philadelphia because Obama is narrowly ahead in Pennsylvania and he should be up double digits in Pennsylvania.
And I don't know why they're surprised because he barely lost Pennsylvania to Mrs. Clinton, didn't he?
Yes.
In the primaries, where is the evidence that Obama's going to get votes out of these states?
Exactly.
It's not there.
And they know it.
In the Democrat Party, there's a little buyer's remorse going on.
Here's the story.
Dave Davies wrote it: Obama hadn't been able to pull away despite signs it should be a big Democrat year in Pennsylvania.
He's on third base.
So far, he can't seem to find a way to get home.
That's the whole primary.
Yes.
That story, the whole primary.
So these Republicans in the House have come up with this issue that finally employing some legislative tactics that are firing up their base.
That's right, absolutely right.
We don't want to get along with Democrats.
We want to mop the floor with them.
That's right.
Legislatively, of course.
That's right.
Yeah, I just wanted to thank them publicly because they came from their vacations.
They were amazing.
And you know what, real quick, Rush, it was so ironic.
Congressman Price was so gracious to me.
I was sitting in the front row on the Congress floor.
So, you know, if you can get a chance to go up there, please do to encourage them.
I'm talking to everybody here in America if you could.
But anyway, I noticed two plaques right over the speaker's head.
Number one was In God We Trust.
And the other one was a quote by Daniel Webster that said, We should use all our resources in order to make our country great.
Now, I'm paraphrasing this a little bit.
And I pointed that up to the Congressman Price who was speaking.
And he was so gracious to me, asked my name where I was from, and he did a little oratory on that.
And it's so ironic.
It's right over the speaker's head.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Well, look, I'm glad you made the trip.
I'm sure they were inspired seeing you there.
And I know they're getting lots of phone calls and letters of support, which is crucial because the Senate, as usual, Senate Republicans, the Senate in general, just undermining, slowing down whatever progress is being made in the House on things, which people say is its constitutional purpose.
Yep, yep.
And in fact, the less they do over there, the better.
But quick timeout.
I'm a little long in this segment.
Thanks very much, Jamie.
We'll be back and continue shortly.
Don't go away.
Hello, this is Barack Obama.
I am on vacation, but I wanted to come out and say that we need to apologize.
We need to apologize, and I, as president, will apologize for America.
The problems that are going on in the world this week at the Olympics, you got the Chinese lying about the little girl and whether she sang the national anthem, and the Russians are lying about, well, maybe they're not lying, but they could be lying about leaving Georgia and participating in the ceasefire.
And then you got Iran been lying all along about a nuclear program.
Everybody's lying.
Why is that?
Could it just be that America has forced them to lie by asking them what the truth is?
I don't know.
Before we ask other nations to tell the truth, we need to ask questions about ourselves first.
That's how I'm going to behave as president, because I believe that this administration has asked for the truth from too many people.
We shouldn't be putting our neighbors in a position of having to tell a lie instead of the truth by asking them questions.
I mean, who do we think we are?
You know, let's all get together and...
Well, I've got a tea time.
Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.
I got a tea time, so I'll see you later.
Now, this next story, this is serious.
But I don't understand how it can.
How long have the Democrats known that they're going to go to Denver?
Last year, right?
They picked Denver as their convention city easily a year ago, right?
Headline, limo shortage for Denver Democrats.
Limousine liberals may be forced to take the bus at the Democrat National Convention this month because Denver doesn't have enough limousines and black cars to go around.
What is this black cars business?
This is in the New York Post, by the way.
We just don't have the cars.
Denver just really is a big, big chauffeur city, said Barbara Curtis of two-step limousine.
I mean, I'm totally booked, and I have been for six weeks.
They got 271 limousine companies in Denver, but most of the fleets have only two or three cars.
Okay, you've known for a year that you don't have enough limousines.
There are limousine companies all over Colorado that I'm sure would go in there.
Maybe it just is that the people who run limousine companies don't believe that the Democrats ride around in limousines.
Here is Vincent in Cranston, Rhode Island.
Glad you called, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, how are you doing?
Many of you.
Merry New England Patriots did.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Mike Hunt was on the other call a while ago about why the president appeared in China.
I mean, you can't do something out of general love for your country anymore.
People just don't believe it.
I don't understand that.
You mean President went over there because he loves America, love the athletes, want to show support?
I frankly, I frankly, I got the biggest kick out of watching Bush over there just as an average fran waving his little flag and posing.
I mean, he posed with all the athletes.
He posed with the teams.
He especially went down there, got very up close to the women's beach volleyball team.
He knew where to go.
He got photographed with the swimmers and so forth, and he's in the stands.
He's not in some skybox.
And he's with his wife and one of his daughters.
And you know there was Secret Service around, but you couldn't see him.
It just looked like he was smiling.
