It's even worse.
Ladies and gentlemen, I imagined, and I'm talking about the onslaught, the effort to brainwash as many Americans as possible into believing that we are in a climate crisis that we have caused and that we can solve by rolling back our lifestyles.
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Great to be with you.
As always, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Telephone number is 800 282-2882 and the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I have here, ladies and gentlemen, a story from today's USA Today.
By the way, speaking of USA Today, I just heard that Gannett, which is the publisher of USA Today and a bunch of other newspapers, is laying off a thousand people.
That is 3% of their workforce.
I don't know how many of them are journalists, but you have to figure some of them are.
So once again, the drive-by print media continues to suffer the brunt of bad economic times.
Gee, we wonder why that might be.
And we also ask this question after they get rid of a thousand people and they can still operate.
What did they have them there in the first place for them?
Get this.
Psychologists determine what it means to think green.
Those who make human behavior their business aim to make living green your business.
Armed with new research into what makes some people environmentally conscious and others less so.
The 148,000 member American Psychological Association is stepping up efforts to foster a broader sense of ecosensitivity that the group believes will translate into more public action to protect the planet.
We know how to change behavior and attitudes.
That's what we do, said Yale University psychologist Alan Casden, association president.
We know what messages will work and what will not.
We know how to change behavior and attitudes.
We know, in other words, how to brainwash people.
During a four-day meeting that begins today in Boston, an estimated 16,000 attendees will hear presentations, including studies that explore how people experience the environment.
How can you not experience it?
Where do you go to escape it?
I'd like to know.
Where do you go to escape the environment so that you don't experience what do you mean experience the environment?
Already psychobabble, and we're only in the third paragraph.
Okay, so they're gonna explore how people experience the environment, their attitudes about climate change, and what social barriers prevent conservation of resources.
Among the uh yet unpublished findings, walking outside rather than inside, even for just 15 minutes, makes you feel happier, more energetic, and more protective of the environment.
Found two studies involving 220 students conducted by psychologists at Carlton University in Ottawa.
Researcher Elizabeth Nesbitt suggests the findings have broader implications for well-being and mental health.
That's right.
Uh, people know outside it's going to feel much better for them, but but underpredict how happy they're going to feel after outside in nature, even after 15 minutes, she says.
That the people inside overestimate their happiness about being inside.
It's error in judgment that people have about how happy they are in a different environment that may explain why people don't spend more time in nature.
It's too stupid to know how you feel if you're outside, if you're inside, you feel better if you're outside.
Uh, and if you're inside, you're not with nature.
You're only with nature when you're outside.
So I guess that's how you escape the environment.
You go inside.
See, read far enough, and you will learn anything you want in a drive-by news story.
How to escape the environment, stay inside.
Negative feedback uh can backfire in two studies.
Psychologist Amarra Brooke of California Santa Clara University and colleague Jennifer Crucker of the University of Michigan asked 212 undergrads about their ecological footprint for those not heavily invested in the environment, negative feedback about their ecological footprint actually undermines their environmental behavior.
They do you believe this is the question.
This is unreal.
It is just unreal.
By editing CNN and PBS news stories, so that some saw a skeptic included in the report, others saw a story in which the skeptic was edited out, and another group saw no video.
Krosnick found that 45 seconds of a skeptic to one news story caused 11% of Americans to shift their opinions about the scientific consensus.
Rather than 58% believing a perceived scientific agreement, inclusion of the skeptic caused the perceived amount of agreement to drop to 47%, according to the American Psychological Association.
Now there is no proof of man-made global warming.
That's why they say consensus.
And as we all know, there cannot be a consensus if there is science.
Science is not up to a vote.
So what they're saying here is that we gotta keep skeptics out of the news reports on global warming because that makes people doubt the issue.
American Psychological Association leaders say they want to launch a national initiative specifically targeting behavior changes, including developing media messages that will help people reduce their carbon footprint and pay more attention to the ways they can conserve.
They want to work with other organizations and enlist congressional support to help fund this effort.
So the greening of education will now move from the classroom to the media and psychologists and psychiatrists' office.
Now you will be, if you go to therapy or you will be subjected, these people get their way, you'll be subjected to your environmental mental health as part of your treatment.
This is brainwashing.
They're actually admitting that they want well we call it we can call it greenwashing.
They but they want to they want to brainwash as many people as possible believing something that cannot be proved.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is your modern American left.
Back to the audio sound bites here.
This is yesterday, San Francisco on the radio.
Uh, the host author, Ron Owens on KGO, talking to Nancy Pelosi said, would you agree with the statement that there have been people who have lost primaries who have been more gracious than Hillary Clinton?
I think Hillary Clinton has been very gracious.
I think some of her supporters have been less than gracious.
Oh, Nancy Pelosi ripping into Hillary supporters.
Let me tell you what this convention coming up is going to be.
This convention coming up.
Mrs. Clinton, the Clintons are going to do everything in their power to show the delegates to this convention that they chose the wrong savior.
You watch.
That's what the Clinton mission is going to be.
And when the word spreads of what Pelosi just said about Clinton supporters, a lot of them women.
The anger is going to increase even more.
Then another question can anything be done about Joe Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman has said things that are totally irresponsible when it comes to Barack Obama.
Here we have a leader for the future, really a great leader for the future, one that comes along only every now and then.
And they know it.
And so they have to undermine him.
And one of their best weapons, of course, is someone who is considered by some to be a Democrat.
Ooh.
Now, this bite, I think, indicates.
I keep going back and forth on Pelosi.
I keep asking me, is she really this dumb?
Or is she just know that her audience is dumb and is trying to relate to them?
You think she's just that dumb?
I Well, I know, but she she she managed to become Speaker of the House.
That's true.
It's Democrats.
Uh leader that comes along only every now and then.
So what are we going to do about Lieberman?
Well, she said this.
The Democrats in the Senate are on his top spot.
They have 51 votes.
Joe Lieberman organizes with them.
In a few weeks eighty five days or something, they'll have five more Democrats.
They won't need him to make the majority.
And it'll be interesting to see what the leadership in the Senate democratic leadership in the Senate does at that point in terms of Joe Lieberman's chairmanship of his committee.
So uh Pelosi is letting it be known that if they do get this new margin that they're all counting on, that Lieberman is toast.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
As always, people are patiently waiting to appear on this program.
We have a 14-year-old young man named Matt from False Church, Virginia on the phone.
Welcome uh young man, nice to have you here with us.
Hey, sir, this is you're a great American.
Thank you very much.
Um I just wanted to say about Nancy Pelosi, and she all these Democrats are just worried about the environment, global warming.
And my where I stand on global warming is if someone gave me solid proof that global warming was caused by humans, I would believe it.
But there's no solid proof at all that it's caused by humans.
And these democrats, radicals, are just preventing drilling for the environment that's not even proved to be caused by dr by humans.
And it's to me ridiculous.
Right.
The global you you've nailed it, uh my brother.
Uh global warming is simply the latest vehicle that the worldwide left is using to advance anti-capitalist and pro-socialist interests in as many countries as possible, especially this one.
Uh and it is also a way to make people in this country feel guilty so that they will be uh uh made uh more comfortable assuaging their guilt by paying higher taxes to supposedly fix the problem that they've all caused with their sloth and their greed.
It's it's it's right out of liberal textbook.
I mean this Carl Marx would be proud of this entire plan.
Right.
It's aimed at people your age too.
A really, really trying to poison people your age, uh a little older and younger, so that they get you from the start.
Right.
And uh I just want to thank you because before I started listening to you, I really didn't know anything about politics.
But my dad is a great man to me, and he star and he brought me into this, and I now I'm starting to listen to it on my own.
And I every single friend of mine that's a Democrat of basically made them become a Republican because of you and all the stuff I know about politics, so I just want to thank you.
Well, you're more than welcome.
Fourteen years old, and you really sound like you are into s into this and and uh and absorbing a lot of it.
That's fabulous.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Well, that's great.
I d don't give up because the future of the country as you know it and love it and as you've been taught uh is is gonna be up to people in your age group.
Yes, sir.
Thank you so much.
You bet.
Thank you.
What by the way, a quick question out there for you, Matt.
Yeah.
When does school start for you?
Uh September second, the day after Labor Day.
So how how are you going to uh handle uh not being able to listen to this program once you go back to school?
I don't know.
I might just, you know.
Uh Matt, let me ask you a question.
I'm just it's uh it'll be really tough.
Yeah, I know I can imagine that's why I'm asking the question.
Uh people have been known to go through withdrawal.
People have been known to skip school and skip work sometimes to hear this program.
That's not good.
In uh New York, well, the education factor would you'd be better off listening to this program than in school, but you'd get in trouble.
Let me ask you this.
You you you use a computer?
Uh yes, sir.
You do.
Do you have an iPod or something like it?
Um no, sir, but I'm planning on getting one real soon.
Like how soon?
Well, as soon as I can, because I've heard that your shows are on iTunes.
That's exactly that's exactly where I was headed.
Yes.
You can you can uh download uh by the time you get home from school, you could download all three hours of the program From iTunes in a podcast that would play on your iPod, and you'll be able to do that, and it it takes five minutes to do it.
Yeah.
I'm planning on doing that.
And that way the program would become portable to you.
And uh if you could you could listen to like three programs in a row if you had a lot of homework one night and couldn't check out, you could just they stack them up and keep them forever, by the way.
They're digital files, they never ever go away unless you erase them.
Yes, sir.
And I plan on doing that.
Okay, well, here I'm gonna tell you are you a uh uh you are your family, uh members of my uh uh website, Rush 247.
Um I don't I don't think so, but my dad listens to you online a lot.
I'm not sure if that's I don't really know if he's a member or not.
But I know I'm not and I'm not sure about him.
All right.
Well, I'll tell you what our our our site has been approved for all ages.
Mm-hmm.
And all age groups, all three sexes.
There are no boundaries on my website.
What I wanted, I'm gonna make you a a complimentary member for one year.
So when we finish the phone call here, which is coming up very soon, don't hang up.
Okay.
Uh Mr. Snerdley will uh shift you to someone who will give you the information you need to be a complimentary member at Rushlinbaugh.com for the next year.
And as an added bonus, I'm gonna make you an a complimentary subscriber to the Limbaugh Letter newsletter, which comes out monthly, which contains different content than the than is on the website.
So you'll get both of those.
You'll be fully armed to maintain your level of confidence and certitude that you now have.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
You are more than welcome.
I'm happy to do it.
Now you hang on, don't hang up, and uh uh nice man.
Thank you very much, say the American Psychological Association is not gonna like this.
They're gonna accuse me of brainwashing you against their initiative on global warming.
Yeah.
But they're gonna anyway.
We got it covered.
Uh Matt, thanks so much for calling.
It's really been great talking to you.
You too.
You're a great American.
Thank thank you.
Thank you.
Uh Steve in uh Middleburg, Virginia, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes.
And I'd skip work for you, too.
Uh one of the thing I want to ask on a lighter note, uh, it's about the Chinese girls being switched, you know, at the Olympics.
Yeah, uh, they got rid of the bucktooth babe that actually sang the song uh which was the hymn to the motherland, and they replaced her with this really cute little girl with pigtails that uh that lipsync did.
Yes.
Yeah, big controversy.
It's almost as big a controversy as the fact that the Chinese are cheating on the age of their female gymnasts.
Right, right.
That's what I wanted to ask you about.
Um I was wondering if you think that they're taking a cue from the American TV news media who seem to always give the uh job to the prettiest girl.
Have you noticed a trend in in TV news lately?
And do you see the same irony that I do?
Well if I'm hypocrisy.
I'd be less than honest where I to admit that I I failed to notice the relative attractiveness of most of the female info babes on cable TV.
Yeah.
Are you are you suggesting to me that that cable news networks are just as disingenuous as the Chincoms are, because they're putting people that really may not have any qualifications at all to anchor the news is the only thing is that they look good.
Uh I'm suggesting that 95% of women in TV news wouldn't have their jobs if it weren't for their personal appearance.
Uh that doesn't say they're not qualified.
That's that's that's going a little far.
Ninety-five percent, I'd put it more at eighty.
But uh maybe so.
That that's possible, but uh I I still think there's a trend here that's developed, and I I don't think it's a good one.
But I and I don't mean to say women on TV news aren't qualified to uh to do their jobs.
I'm just saying that given the choice between a a very attractive person who's qualified and a non-attractive person who's just as qualified.
That's why there are magazines.
Pretty girl would get the job.
That's why there are magazines and newspapers.
And that's why you very seldom see anybody from the New York Times on TV.
Very good.
No, that is.
Look at they're in the visual business.
Why you w do you think they should put ugly people on to read the news?
Well, I think they should put competent people on it to read the news.
Well, but we're making it bold.
I understand physical appearance in relation to TV shows and movies and things like that, but there's there there should be a level of competency and merit attacking.
Well, how do you know that there's not?
How do you know that uh these uh lookers are not competent.
Oh, no, I'm not saying that they're not.
I'm just I'm just saying that I suspect that given the same uh level of competency, a pretty girl will get the job.
Now, you know that doesn't apply to men very often because Alan Close is on TV.
So I not that I mean to personalize this or anything, but I'm saying, though, right?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I get it.
I totally get it.
Okay.
Project taken care of, Rush Limbaugh back, continuing to serve humanity here on the EIB network.
All right, I mentioned this earlier in the busy broadcast, ladies and gentlemen, that the uh Democrats are very, very worried over the lack of Obama's dominance in the polls.
And in fact, the politico has this story.
Apparently, there's this Jerome Corsey book that's going to open at number one on the New York Times list, the anti-Obama book.
And they put John Kerry on the Swift boat team now that to rebut these attacks, because they said Kerry didn't do it fast enough.
Obama's not doing it fast enough.
They're they're gonna they're not gonna sit by and let happen to Obama what happened to John Kerry.
Uh and and so the I mean the this whole story features so much double talk and pseudo action by Kerry threatened at and hinted at and so forth.
Uh there's Obama, there's a there's an easy way around all this.
And instead of instead of stupid, this is a this is a really beneath politico to run a hack story like this.
Obama, if you don't like the book, just sit down and do some interviews.
You know, there are a lot of things people would like to know about you.
And if you're gonna let somebody define yourself define you, you can you can easily get around that by just sitting down and doing some interviews and answering some questions other than in your Messiah mode.
But they're really they're they're they're concerned out there, and now there's they're they're going the usual suspects.
They're blaming all of his lack of big lead in the polls on race.
Let's go back and review from August the 7th.
We have a little montage here of the drive-bys, perplexed at the lack of Obama's big lead.
Uh it's number 13.
Sorry about that.
Just play it.
It's coming up, folks.
Three, two, one.
Why isn't Barack Obama running away with this election?
Why do you think that Obama is not doing better?
Why do you believe he's not doing even better?
Why is this election close?
Why the race is so close?
Why it is as close as it is.
Why is the race even close?
Obama really should be further ahead.
Why the race is so close?
The presumptuousness of this is mind-boggling.
Well, the answer is they think he should be far ahead because they've done nothing but try to put him there.
So last night on CNN's Larry King Alive, Larry was talking to the council on foreign relations, Peter Beinart.
And he said, Peter, in essence, capsuleze it for me.
You were saying what today?
There remains a significant percentage of white Americans.
Hard to know how many, but perhaps 20% who might normally vote Democratic, who seem for because of racial anxiety so far to be unwilling to support Barack Obama.
People won't say it about themselves, but if you ask them, will people they know not vote for Barack Obama, then you get about the percentage of 20%.
Barack Obama has a huge lead on almost all of the issues, and Democrats have a huge generic advantage.
So why is his advantage so small?
I think, although one cannot be a hundred percent sure, I think there is increasing circumstantial evidence that he is being weighed down, as so many African American candidates have in the past by racial anxiety or outright racism.
I told you way back this was gonna happen.
I said that contrary to everybody thinking Obama's nomination and election would bring an end to the race business in America, it would only exacerbate it and make it worse.
Of course, it can't be the fact that he's out ripping his own country in Berlin and in other, it can't be the fact that he is avoiding meeting with military people in hospitals.
It can't be that he's arrogant and condescending.
It can't be that his best friends have a virulent hatred for the United States of America and have made careers on it.
It can't be that his wife is angry as hell about America and needs a makeover in order to tone that down, it can't possibly be that he tells seven-year-olds who ask him what he wants to be president for, that his country is less than it once was.
Oh, it can't possibly be due to anything with Obama and who he is, because he is the Mustaya.
And everybody loves Democrats.
And everybody hates Bush.
And Obama's new and unique, and we've never had anybody like him before.
So obviously it must be the Klan is still alive.
It can't possibly be that a lot of Americans have seen Obama as the Messiah, and it's going I don't have any more emotion for it, and they're ready for some substance from the guy, and they haven't gotten any.
It can't be that the American people might be going through a backlash over the wanton naked brazedness of the drive-by media trying to make this guy president before we've had the election.
Oh, it couldn't be any of these things.
No, no, no, no, no.
Can't be this.
It has it has to be.
As the Aerodiet and elite, uh Peter Beinart said, increasingly circumstantial evidence, by the way, that he's being weighed down as so many African American candidates have in the past by racial anxiety or outright racism.
We wanted to get so fast that we hope we marry it.
America's so disappointed.
America's too much of racist speed!
And there you have the drive-by media attitude about this.
By the way, Mr. Beinart, it it couldn't be that to the extent that race is in the campaign, Obama himself brought it in.
Trying to alternately play a racial victim.
Could it be that the American people don't want to hear a highly successful individual complain and whine that there are going to be people criticize him because he doesn't look like all the other presidents on the dollar bill?
Is that a racial comment?
Was that Obama playing the race card?
What race is Jeremiah Wright?
Uh, Mr. Beinart.
I know I say this constantly that I just I'm past and beyond the point of being surprised at what is the stupidity, the narrow or closed-mindedness, and genuine ignorance of people in the media and many scholars.
But it just keeps getting worse.
This Walter Shapiro piece today in Ceylon where he admits to being totally fooled by the myth that was John Edwards, and he admits they didn't know a thing about Edwards.
He fell for the story that the Edwards put out.
And I asked when I reported that, well, might you examine the story you've manufactured about Obama?
Obama's running two campaigns.
He's running a post-racial campaign and a racial campaign, and he goes to either one whenever he thinks it's necessary.
Uh, as far as this campaign's concerned, has been totally owned and dominated by the Democrat Party in their primaries, as has I might add, sexism.
All of the ugliness that has taken place in this campaign can be found on the Democrat side.
And yet it can't it can't possibly be due to any of the lack of experience that shows an incompetence that nobody knows anything about Obama.
Can't be that.
Nope.
America still imperfect.
Lots of work to do.
Anyway, I'm gonna take a time out here and cool down.
We'll be back and continue right after this.
And I'd like to ask a question here to Peter Beinart, who is just wringing his hands and practically in tears over the fact that this uh racial anxiety, maybe even outright racism in this country, which explains why Obama is still basically Todd with um McCain.
Uh Somebody asked Mr. Beinart what percentage of uh minorities won't vote for McCain because of race.
Uh, what are we hearing about 92, 93 percent of blacks are gonna vote for Obama?
Well, isn't that blatant racism?
I mean, 92% of whites are not going to vote for McCain.
How about that, Binart?
I mean, if you're gonna throw around a race card, throw it at everybody.
Now, Binart is just another one of these self-aggrandizing pundits who has no clue what America thinks in his ivory tower at the Council on Foreign Relations, and it's something I think it's pretty common about all of the media.
They're really detached.
And they're distant.
And it it's a it's it's foreign country to them outside of uh both coasts.
So Bynert looks at Middle America the same way that Obama does, and that and he's and the that Obama said he looks at it when he was in San Francisco at that fundraiser, and all the while they claim they represent blue-collar America.
When in truth they detest them.
Who is he calling racists, but blue-collar Americans?
Anyway, this is Karen in uh Mawa, New Jersey.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hi, Rush, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Megaditas from an oil lover.
Um I wanted to speak to you because I signed this drill here, drill now.
Back in May, there was about 11,000 signatures on it at the time.
Yes.
Now, there's 85% of Americans want to drill for oil.
What I don't understand is why is this lobbying going back between the Democrats and the Republicans?
Why aren't they just saying this is what the American people want?
We need to do this.
There's people out there that are just around the corner from foreclosure.
And at this point, I think that both Democrats and Republicans are looking at the Americans, questioning their IQ, saying, well, it doesn't matter, we'll wait for the election.
And I think there's a lot of people out there that cannot wait till November to have this solve.
Yeah, I hope you're right.
I we we but you're you're raising a very interesting question, good question in terms of the uh manner in which people can be educated by getting the answer to that.
For example, let's go back and look, let's look at uh uh the Dubai Ports deal.
You haven't been able to say those words in a while.
The Dubai Ports deal.
Remember when that was announced?
Yes.
You didn't need petitions.
Right.
All you I mean, uh the people blew up.
There was no way that Dubai was gonna have a bunch of terrorists running our ports.
That's what people thought.
It just wasn't gonna happen.
And so they let their members of Congress know about it, and the Republicans and Democrats got into a race to be first to the microphone to say the deal would never happen.
Right.
Let's go to illegal immigration.
The comprehensive illegal immigration reform act known as amnesty.
They put that together behind closed doors under the cover of darkness in a week.
They wanted to eliminate all the politics from it, which meant no debates, no amendments, nobody talking about it.
In one week's time they wanted that to be signed and passed on to the president or passed and signed up to the president for his signature.
Right.
Knowing full well the American people had no taste for it, no desire.
The American people shut that down.
But if the American people hadn't spoken up, we would now have amnesty as the official immigration policy of this country.
Now we move on from that to your drill here, drill now thing.
The American people are signing petitions.
And after the gang of ten deal, they did call Congress.
But I don't know how much phone activity there's been on drill here, drill now.
There may have been some, I just don't know.
We haven't heard about it, but the petitions apparently don't carry a whole lot of weight.
That's how I feel, Rush.
That's how I feel that we don't matter to them, that their personal interest is the only thing that matters to them.
You're exactly right.
And it's it's to the point now where, you know, Sean Hannity's got on his show, stop the Hillary Express, stop Obama Express.
How about the American people stand up and say, stop the Czech Express?
You start working for us again.
Well, you know, It's a it's it's there's there's some good people up there, but the the you you're what you're the problem that you're dealing with here is twofold.
You have liberal Democrats who are the majority in both bodies who don't care what anybody thinks.
Their agenda comes first and foremost.
The second thing is you've got Republicans who are scared to death of uh not getting along with the Democrats because they think people like you would rather see them come to compromise on some of these things rather than uh actually take them on in battle.
So you got Republicans in the House on their vacation who are trying to carry this issue along, and they're making some noise about it.
But you're you're right.
It's this this the reason this particular issue differs from, say, the Dubai port deal is that this whole drilling and and global warming thing is precisely about reigning in the capitalist aspects of our economy and stilting them and promoting the government, size of government, more taxes and so forth, and that is the closest thing to a congressman's heart, particularly a liberal, that you'll ever get.
And no matter what public opinion is, uh they'll ignore it.
Yes, I understand.
And they won't they will revert to arrogance.
Well, you people just don't know what you're talking about here.
You uh you you're not sufficiently informed to understand the the vagaries and the intricacies of uh of what we're trying to do here, but we're trying to save the planet, and I understand that you want cheaper gasoline, but that will destroy the planet.
We're gonna save the planet, and you must understand we're trying to save you from yourself and trying to save the world from you.
So it's it is ultimately you're being insulted.
I g uh uh that's how I you know, Rush.
I listened to you when you started the program and how you watched the show, and uh you were astonished about how many products are coming from oil that we use every single day in our lives.
And I just feel that the the Democrats are turning around and saying, oh, the American people are stupid.
But look at all of what they're doing with oil products.
Uh obviously there needs to be more supply.
And we're the supply holders.
It could create jobs, it could put people back to work.
Americans are very bright people, Rush.
There's a good use for them, and we need to get jobs.
I cannot say it any better.
Oh, I will only want to correct you on one thing.
I was not startled at how many derivatives there are of oil.
I was just amazed that I actually saw it on television, and it was well done.
I'm very sorry that I missed it.
Well, it's going to be on Saturday night, the twenty-third of this month, a week from Saturday at 7 o'clock Eastern on the uh history channel.
Now, we called them.
We actually called them to find out, and they said where they tentatively scheduled it that day.
Tentatively, don't tell us that.
Book it because we're going to get you more viewers for this episode than you've ever had for a single episode of anything on the History Channel.
Well, we didn't tell them that.
Cookie was talking to them.
She would not treat them that way.
I would have I'd been on the phone, but uh, but I wasn't.
So it's tentatively scheduled for Saturday night, August 23rd, 7 o'clock Eastern.
See, are the Olympics still going on then?
They will still be going on, won't they?
Or is it over by then?
I don't know.
It's three weeks.
The Olympics is three weeks, and we're in the second week now.
Or this is no, this is no, this is just the first week.
This is just the no, they didn't.
Was that right?
The opening ceremony was on the eighth.
Okay, the event started on on Saturday.
So Saturday will be one week to next every two weeks, the next day, three and the Olympics, I think is a two week event.
Or is it three?
Actually, why am I even talking about it?
Because I don't even care.
Well, it's uh Thursday audience.
Open line Friday tomorrow, right?
Fastest three hours in media, fastest week in media.
We'll look forward to it, ladies and gentlemen.
Thanks so much for joining us today.
America looks like we've lost our love affair for the children.
We'll talk about that and much more tomorrow.
