Time Text
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
Time for yet another excursion into broadcast excellence, hosted by me.
Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, 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 reigning in pro-Western Ukraine, another American ally in the former Soviet Union, moving to counter any threat.
UK President Viktor Yovich uh Yushenko, uh, who was poisoned, if you remember, his face is made to look real bad there, uh, today restricted the movement of Russia's Black Sea Fleet based in the port of Savastopol, 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'd be flying inside the Kremlin like you haven't seen.
There would be such anger at that.
That would be considered a uh a a major, major provocation.
So the situation remains fluid and apparently somewhat volatile as the United States and its allies waive various forms of punishment against Russia for uh committing this atrocity, uh this uh wanton,
unprovoked, they say, invasion into Georgia, although it should be noted that last Thursday night, Georgia did send some troops into South Ossetia, uh, trying to uh uh get grasped 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 as the pretext, but this was not something that was just triggered by action taken by Georgia last Thursday night, because it it uh it took a tremendous effort to move all these divisions and armored uh personnel carriers and 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 uh for quite a while.
What do we choose between uh Russia and Georgia?
Well, that's uh I want to get details on that.
That's just that's just a flash headline right now.
I you know, and the Prime Minister is Putin.
So when Putin says you gotta choose Russia or Georgia, you know, that's I I want to get the details of this before just reacting to a headline.
Uh and then of course I want to wait to hear what the Lord Messiah Barack Obama says uh in reaction to this, if it's true, uh, challenge that has been thrown down by the Russians.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, it just won't go away.
The Breck Girl story continues to efferves.
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 sound bites 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.
Yeah, what imagine if he'd have pulled his own.
Where would B be now when a Democrat Party would be in big trouble?
Well, he didn't, and it looks like that now the drive-by's have figured since the inquirer did the dirty work and somebody managed to get the 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.
Well, she was the guest on the C Yes, that's a pigeon, 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.
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 March.
Yes, okay.
At the very six months earlier than he says.
Drive by's 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 uh was not flying away from her assertion.
She remained grounded in this assertion, and she didn't, 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.
Is it mine?
So Pigeon O'Brien, and it's 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 all sorts of sordid things are coming out now that 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 uh Elizabeth.
I know, I know, I know.
It's it's really, it's it's just it's uh it's very very unpleasant.
It's seedy.
Very is now on the Today Show today, not MSNBC, which has no audience.
On the Today Show today, Angria 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, let her just stay with her husband.
Whoo, now Andrea Mitchell digging into the Edwards affair.
And uh, after ignoring the story for months, then now out after the Breck girl in full force.
He's got to be wondering what happened.
You know, this guy scheduled this debate or this this uh this appearance of his on nightline on Friday night, and he 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 a Breck 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 of the 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 uh somewhat hilarious.
Two stories, one in the Rocky Mountain News, the other in a Denver TV station's website.
Uh, we remember we told you uh ladies and gentlemen that Obama was planning on having a lottery that would award ten 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.
People said, Well, wait a minute, that's you're running a lottery here, and that's against campaign finance laws.
So they they switched it around somehow.
Now, you have to do more than just send in your five books.
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.
Kreider 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 twelve 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 it's a disguised racial comment, Sterley.
You're very sensitive to those kind of things.
You may have a point.
But leaving that aside, my my question is okay.
Here we have people, uh Democrats, leftists who want to win tickets to be with Obama when he makes his big acceptance speech on Thursday night at uh in Vesco Field at Mile High.
And they are complaining here about being micromanaged.
They're 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, and they won't get their tickets.
Now I can understand a bunch of conservatives saying, screw you, I 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.
This this uh they're looking at this as indentured servitude on the Obama plantation.
Come 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.
Thank you.
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 gonna vote for the guy who he's gonna try to arrange everybody else's life like this as much as possible.
Quick 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 Haythorn reporting.
Uh, 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 gotta 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.
And I'm they don't know their place.
They really don't, and they don't understand that this is uh such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be this close to the uh to the Messiah.
By the way, they found a prison.
They're gonna use a warehouse as a prison for protesters that break the law.
They're calling it Gitmo on the Plat.
Channel Ford 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 gidmo On the plat in a warehouse in Denver.
We can only hope, therefore, that there are arrests.
We'll be back.
Stay with her.
Everyone's a winner.
Little hot chocolate.
Talent on loan from God.
The fallout continues now on the Breck 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 Edward's affair with the campaign videographer Riley Hunter when he paid to move her to California last year.
Who must this must be?
Yeah, the down 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 Edward's 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 said Young is again Edward's 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 that you stop and think of this now.
This guy, this guy young, Andrew Young says, I'm the father, John Edwards is not 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 uh University of North Carolina at uh uh Charlottesville, or Chapel Hill, wherever where it was doesn't matter, one of the two campuses.
Chapel Hill.
He did he established a center for poverty, a think tank that was going to deal with poverty.
He actually said one time, I'm gonna have 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 and his 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 till he quit at the end of 2006 to launch his presidential run.
Uh, Edwards' disclosure Friday, he had an affair.
Uh 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 Pickett's up on TV.
Do you Boone Pickens?
It has been learned last spring, Nancy Pelosi, according to her own financial forms, invested something like 50 to 125,000 in Boone Pickens' plan to eventually power vehicles in this country on natural gas.
She got in an 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 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 but 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.
Louisville and Cliff, glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you, sir.
Making the nose rush.
This SUV driving uh did Ohead would like to take issue with Mr. Halbrook on his interpretation of how badly the Bush is have handled this uh Russian.
All right, hang on, let's go back and let's get the audio soundbite of that.
Uh uh, you mean Richard Holbrook?
Yes.
Yeah, Holbrook, this guy's been panting, salivating, begging to be Secretary of State uh for any Democrat that's elected Graham.
Let's see, I'm looking for it in the uh five.
Yeah, it's number five.
Audio soundbite number five.
Uh last night on PBS on the news hour with Jim O'Lara, uh 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, Stroke 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 Sarkozy 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, the that's enough for sure.
But no, he while uh the Russians were under a common command of Bosnia Herzegovia, they moved out of the Soviet sector through Bonjalina, down through Serbia, down into Priscilla Pristina, occupy the airport there, and at this particular point, Wesley Clark ordered the British commander, uh let's see, his name is uh oh uh i i the British tr uh commander uh Mike Jackson, General Jackson, ordered him to attack the uh Soviets there.
And they had that was a common man, uh uh command.
They moved out completely through there and without uh uh notifying uh their command that that's what they were going to do.
Also, Mr. Calbert was also involved in negotiating along with he and uh Mrs. Albright and uh in negotiating some kind of a uh a common thing to go in for K4 and Kosovo.
And that was unsuccessful, but they did assure uh Al Gore that they would not unilaterally go into Kosovo and also assured uh Madam Madeline Albright that as well.
Well, you know, uh my memory on this uh I'll have to rely on you because my memory on this is just it's general and it's vague, and it it it basically can be summed up by saying that Holbrook and and and well Talbot and and Mark and uh Madeline Albright are memorable for doing nothing.
I I 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 terrorist.
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 uh and a legacy.
Well, one of the things, and this is a guardian, uh this is a ninety-nine report that they said that uh one of the reasons that uh Clark uh uh ordered the uh 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, a guardian report in uh Well, why?
Is that because we're flying the we're we're fighting the war from fifteen thousand feet?
Yeah.
Well, I you know, I I would assume that's part of it.
I I'm I know for sure that they did come in.
That's not the Soviets.
They didn't want to make them mad.
Well, that's another thing, though.
Uh uh uh Ashley Wilkes had to be replaced.
Uh yeah, yeah.
I uh I mean nobody distinguished themselves here.
That conflict, by the way, is not is not over.
Are there not still peacekeepers there raping the women and children like they do in Africa?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
But you know, the other the other aspect of that too is also uh uh one of the things I thought was interesting about I just read this about Sol Sen.
He was he uh he coddled uh Solabodon Moloshevik.
And and that gives you a mentality of of what the Soviets are.
This was their country, and and they're gonna fall fall locked step behind everybody in support of that, and that's why they're having why they probably Georgia and probably Poland and Ukraine and some of these other companies countries should probably be concerned right now.
And the other thing I think they are.
I think they've been concerned 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 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.
Uh you know, we've been led to believe that uh that army is not well maintained.
If you look at those vehicle vehicles, they've got must multiple launch relay tubes in there, uh that BTR eighty, uh T nineties, T ninety or T ninety two and uh T eighties.
Uh those are all that's all new new equipment.
I noticed those, you're right.
And I think uh that's compliments of uh the price of oil that has given the Soviets.
By the way, don't forget the six eight six eighteen SAs.
You know, those things are not to be trifled with.
No, not uh none of them are.
But I don't think that army could have been financed without the help of the Democrats and and them not drilling for oil.
So I just uh uh this the Soviet looks to me like that they've got some good equipment there.
Now I'm you know, that's just one man's opinion, but uh uh Well, you look it, we're all we're 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, uh 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 it 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 uh for a lot we 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, if we don't know if they were uh discovered.
We don't know 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 we know it's just it's tough not to trust our eyes, as we know that's that's a small, small percentage of uh of what is uh actually going on.
Cliff, thanks to 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, Russ.
I've been a faithful listener of yours for like twenty years.
Free show, you can't can't do any better than that.
Oh, I know, and 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 grave and freeus and keep it going.
Uh, real quick, uh Rush, I just want to bring uh a little bit home right now.
Um myself and some friends went um we made a special trip up to the Capitol yesterday, um, 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 these men and women are there without, you know, I know they're coming in off their vacations to spend time.
Exactly.
And by the way, the now the stories I I love these stories that the Pelosi has relented, uh and she's now considering a vote.
Uh uh.
Let me tell you something.
This is all for show because Pelosi can see that nobody's buying her book.
There are five thousand three hundred and thirty-three copies in two weeks.
Uh-huh.
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 every then nobody's buying her book because nobody cares about who she is.
She got a nine percent approval rating in there for crying out loud.
Yes.
Gas prices are the tipping point.
Four dollar 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 uh has as it I mean they're in their their for their little plan to pay off, we need gas high prices to stay high to make the alternatives that Pickens uh is trying to sell to people attractive.
And she's joined that effort.
Now, there's a great uh question here for conflict.
So she's okay, she's seen all this.
She's gonna say, okay, well I'm I'm open to scheduling a vote.
But they'll come up with a piece of legislation that's as that's as reckless and and worthless as what the gang attend came up with in the Senate.
Right that will not lead to new 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 as 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 well he lost Pennsylvania to Mrs. Clinton, didn't he?
Yes.
In the primaries.
Where is the evidence that Obama's gonna get votes out of these states?
Exactly.
It's not there, and they know it.
In the Democrat part, there's a little buyer's remorse going on.
Uh 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 uh 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 of the whole price.
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.
Um it was amazing.
And you know what, real quick, Rush?
It was so ironic.
Um 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 get make our country great.
Now I'm pr paraphrasing this a little bit.
And I I pointed that up to uh 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, I'm looking, I'm glad you made the trip.
I'm sure that they were they were inspired uh seeing you there, and I'm and I know they're getting uh lots of phone calls and letters of support, which is crucial because the um you know the Senate, as usual, Senate Republicans uh the Senate in general just undermining, slowing down whatever progress is being made in the 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 time out.
I'm a little long in this segment.
Thanks very much, Jamie.
Uh, we'll be back and continue shortly.
Don't go away.
Hello, this is Barack Obama.
I am on vacation, but I want to come out and say that we need to apologize.
We need to apologize, and I, as president, will apologize for America.
The problems 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 uh Russians are lying about uh well, maybe they're not lying, but they could be lying about leaving Georgia and uh participating in the ceasefire.
Uh and then the guy to ran been lying all along about a nuclear program.
Everybody's lying.
Why is that?
Could it 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 well, I've got a tea time.
Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.
Uh I got a tea time.
So uh I'll see you later.
Now, this next story, this is serious.
But I don't understand how it can h how long have the Democrats known that they're going to go to Denver when 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 we just don't have the cars.
Denver just really is the big uh 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 two hundred and seventy-one 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?
Megan New England Patriots dittoes.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Um was on the other call uh a while ago about why the president uh 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 I don't uh 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.
Uh 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 sky box.
Uh, you and he's with his wife and uh one of his daughters, and you know there was secret service around, but you couldn't see them.
Yeah.
It just looked like he was smiling, he's pointing at him, he's waving.
And the uh the interview uh that they aired, I mean, he sounded phenomenal.
I mean, just knew exactly, you know, just sounded you know.
Is that the interview with Bob Costus?
Yes.
Yeah, how many race questions did Costas asked?
That's his favorite subject.
It w it was uh I mean I don't I just remember that he put, you know, I mean he it's I everything he said was just you know right on on you know on point uh it was good.
I was I saw a little bit of it.
He was asking about uh uh the situation over in uh Georgia.
Yeah.
And and and what what he's doing with the Hu Jintao and the uh and the ChICOM leadership.
Well, look, Vincent, I'm glad you waited to make that point because that was uh it it is interesting.
I I did get a kick out of he's a big sports fan anyway, but he just he looked like he was really, really having a good time.
And uh those pictures I'm sure were were uh part and parcel of inspiring the audience as well.
At any rate, we have to take a quick time out.
We'll be back and we'll close it out right after this.
Folks, I just figured out the answer to the limo shortage in Denver.
The reason there aren't enough limo companies going in there to meet the demand is they know that the Democrats do not pay these bills.
Look at how many vendors are still owed millions from Hillary's campaign alone.
It's actually very smart.
Besides, they're pushing mass transit.
