And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists all across the bountiful fruited plain.
Rush Limbaugh from the fringes of the outer bands of Tropical Storm Faye.
The outer feeder bands.
We are here at 800-282-2882.
Looking forward to talking to you.
I promise.
And we are going to get to phone calls in uh soon in this hour.
But I want to run through some some of the uh sound bites from the Saturday night forum at uh at Rick Warren's church, the uh saddleback church out in Lake Forest, California.
This this this Obama answer is uh is unbelievable.
Rick Warren said, Senator Obama, let me ask you about evil.
Does evil exist?
And if it does, do we ignore it?
Do we negotiate with it?
Do we contain it?
Do we defeat it?
Evil does exist.
I mean, I think we see evil all the time.
We see evil in Darfur.
Uh we see uh evil some sadly on on the streets of uh our cities.
Now, the the one thing that I think is very important is for us to have some humility in how we approach the issue of confronting evil.
Because uh, you know, a lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim that we were trying to confront evil.
Just because we think our intentions are good doesn't always mean that we're gonna be doing good.
This is just uh beyond the pale to me.
This is this is this is Obama.
He may as well be back in Berlin making speeches to the Berliners.
He may as well be back talking to his traditional Democrat little audience where he has to rip this country.
He never mentions Islamic extremism as evil.
Islamic extremists killed 3,000 Americans.
He does mention the streets of American cities, however, as having lots of evil, and of course Darfur, which is uh again another one of the briefing book answers from the Democrat Party from the liberal playbook.
Darfur.
But then to compound this, to then say that our own actions in combating evil have led to evil is nothing it's nothing more than saying Islamic terrorists are somewhat justified, at least we can understand why they hate us because we've done things to make them hate us.
They're nuanced.
They understand.
We have tried in combating evil, we have been evil ourselves, and we are evil, and that justifies them being evil.
And that's by the way, at the root of their perverted, convoluted thinking on places like Abu Ghrab and Club Gitmo.
They think we, then it's it's no it's no secret.
The the the the Democrat Party considers the American military to be the focus of evil in the modern world.
And so anything the American military does to eradicate evil makes the evil that we're eradicating understandable and justified.
This is sick.
It is maddening, it is sick, and it is not presidential.
This is not the kind of guy we want in the Oval Office leading this country.
We do not want somebody who doesn't like his own country for whatever perverted, convoluted, stupid reasons.
Here is McCain's answer to the same question.
Defeat it.
Couple of points.
One, if I'm president of the United States, my friends, if I have to follow him to the gates of hell, I will get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.
I will do that and I know how to do it.
I will get that back.
No one, no one should be allowed to take thousands of American innocent American lives.
Of course, evil must be defeated.
My friends, we are facing the transcendent challenge of the 21st century.
Radical Islamic extremism.
And there you have the answer, defeated.
That was symptomatic, typical of McCain all night long.
One, two, three, five-word answers.
Wham bam, thank you, ma'am, in and out, and then give the details.
Obama has to sound like he's intelligent and nuanced and thinking deeply About this.
Very concerned about what's happening in Darfur and the evil that we have created.
And so he doesn't want to be too critical of evil.
Because being critical of evil makes evil even angry.
It's like if you've got a rapist in your neighborhood, don't try to catch the guy.
Just put more locks on your door, because if you try to catch the guy, he's just going to get angrier at you, and it ends up being your fault.
And frankly, my friends, more Americans than you can possibly understand are going to be fed up when they start hearing about how much Obama blames his country for what he considers to be the evil in the world.
Next series of questions.
Rick Warren, Senator Obama, what's been your greatest moral failure?
And what do you think is the greatest moral failure of America?
You know, there were times where I experimented with drugs, and I drank in my teenage years.
And what I trace this to is a certain selfishness on my part.
I think America's greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we still don't abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, uh, you do for me.
And and that notion uh that basic principle applies to poverty.
It applies to racism and sexism.
So uh he has that favorite piece of scripture from Matthew.
Whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.
And then goes on to say that the greatest moral failing of the United States is poverty, racism, and sexism.
This nation has done more to eliminate poverty, not just in this country, but around the world than any nation in history.
This nation has done more and cost itself more lives dealing with racism and slavery than any nation on earth.
Sexism.
He may as well have said our greatest moral failure was being discovered by Columbus because the left believes that Columbus brought racism and sexism and environmental destruction and syphilis and all these other things.
That is what they believe in their multicultural uh uh curricula, and this is what we have in Obama, a multicultural candidate.
We do not have.
Somebody steeped in Western civilization, proud of it, understanding the greatness of Western civilization.
This is a guy who has been taught that Western civilization's gotta go.
Remember the Reverend Jackson, ho-ho-ho, Western Siv's gotta go out at Stanford or some left coast university.
I mean, this is right out of the multicultural text.
This guy is nothing more than the sum product of what he's been taught, and he's not questioned any of it.
He has accepted it.
And now he regurgitates it as a presidential candidate.
Here's McCain's answer to the same question.
My greatest moral failing, and I have been a very imperfect person.
Uh is uh the failure of my first marriage.
It's my greatest moral failure.
I think America's greatest moral failure has been throughout our existence.
Perhaps we have not devoted ourselves to causes greater than our self-interest, although we've been the best at it if anybody in the world.
That's a strange answer because we have devoted ourselves.
What was World War II?
What's the whole the whole purpose and point of the so-called greatest generation was they had to grow up real fast.
Grew up real fast by eight by the time they were eighteen, they understood that life was about much more than just them.
What is the greatest moral failure of the United States?
Uh okay, you want you want me to put myself in the position of being in at forum, and I'm asked what's America's greatest moral failure.
Yeah, I've I know I'm out of the code of silence.
I've heard the answers.
So my answers, my answer, I could I could answer this without having known what they said or knowing what both these guys said.
Let me take a quick time out here because I want to get to some phone calls.
It's time to take a break.
We'll come back, get some phone calls.
I will endeavor to answer your question.
What do I think America's greatest?
I would have had trouble accepting the premise of the question.
I would have I would have said it's not the time to start talking about these things because there's a balance.
There's a scale here.
And whatever our moral failures are, they are dwarfed by our moral triumphs.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
Stay with us.
Okay, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh and the cutting edge of societal evolution unfolding before your very eyes Monday through Friday here behind the Golden EIB microphone at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Robert in Fairlaw, New Jersey, you're next.
You're up first, sir.
Welcome to the program.
How are you doing, Roger?
It's a pleasure to debate, yeah.
Thank you.
Okay.
Uh I watched the that forum twice because two things caught my eye, and I just had to look see them again.
The first thing that caught my eye was a question an answer that McCain gave before he received the question, which was about teachers' pay.
He answered yes, yes, and fine bad teachers, another work of line.
Uh uh, unless he's Karnak, how did he know what the question was?
The second thing that popped out was his story about the cross in the sand.
So I did a little research, and sure enough, he he lifted that from an Alexander uh slot something from his time as a Soviet gulag.
And it seems that McCain has been morphing that story from uh about humanity of a guard to about Christian faith.
So that's that's where I think uh he cheated.
You think McCain cheated?
Did you hear what I just said about him answering the question before he got the answer?
I watched this and I heard the question, and I could have answered it the same way.
Anybody with a solid view, a substantive, confident view, an understanding of what they believe could have answered most of these questions.
Wham bam, thank you, ma'am.
It's McCain wasn't trying to prevaricate, he wasn't trying to walk a thin line to avoid embarrassing himself.
Obama with every answer had to make sure he didn't say something wrong.
The contrast between these two people was so distinct that even the left, Robert, realizes here that their guy is in big trouble.
He lost this thing going away, so much so now that they have to call up this business McCain cheated.
I want to give you some information that you may not have.
I just got a note here, uh, ladies and gentlemen from Byron, York at National Review Online, and he's been looking into this whole allegation.
And here is he's gonna post this on their website here in just a second.
According to one of the uh the the media representatives for the Saddleback Church, Larry Ross, both Obama and McCain knew exactly what was coming at the start of the appearance.
Larry Ross told Byron York that Rick Warren gave both candidates the first two questions because he didn't want them to be nervous, so they would be at ease.
Larry Ross says that in separate phone calls with McCain and Obama, Warren also went through the four general categories of questions and said things like, I'll probably ask you a question on this or on that, but gave no specific wording.
In addition, according to Larry Ross, Obama knew a third specific question that Warren would ask.
This is the one about a president's emergency plan for adoption.
Warren felt that since he was basically asking for a commitment, he felt that it was fair to tell him in advance that he was going to ask them that.
So Warren did tell Obama and planned to tell McCain when McCain got to the church, but he wasn't able to do so because McCain shows up after the whole thing had started.
So according to what Larry Ross of the Saddleback Church told Byron York, Obama actually knew one more question in advance than McCain did.
And then try this.
Here's a question from the forum.
Warren said, this one is dear to my heart.
Most people know there are 148 million orphans in the world, 148 million kids growing up without mommies and dads.
They don't need to be an orphanage, they need to be in families, but a lot of families can't afford to take these kids in.
Would you be willing to consider and even commit to doing some kind of an emergency plan for orphans, like President Bush did with AIDS, almost a president's emergency plan for orphans to deal with this issue?
I I I cheated a little bit.
I actually looked at this idea uh uh ahead of time.
I and I think it is a I think it's a great idea.
I think it's something that we should we should sit down and and figure out uh working between nongovernmental organizations, international institutions, the U.S. government.
Try to figure out what can we do.
That is the question, the third question that Obama was told in advance, which is why he said, Yeah, I cheated a little bit.
I actually looked at this idea ahead of time.
McCain never got this question.
This is the third question that Obama got versus only two that McCain got.
So with the truth be known, if anybody cheated, although I don't think anybody did, it is Obama who had at least a one question advantage here.
And he admits that he cheated a little bit, and so there goes Andrea Mitchell parroting what's on the Kook Fringe leftist blogs, saying that McCain probably cheated, because he wasn't in a cone of silence, and he might have been able to hear some of this stuff on TV or on radio or what have you.
So this the point about all this is, you people that want to believe that McCain cheated.
What you saw Saturday night was a tremendous distinction.
You saw one guy who has a lifetime of core values versus another guy with a lifetime of no values, his or not core values.
They've they they shift, they amplify, they change, depending on what the wind is doing that day, depending on what poles are doing that day, depending on what advisors and consultants tell you to say, depending on what Reverend Wright has put in your head, whatever Bill Ayers has put in your head.
So what was on display, and I think this is a good way to put it.
If you got core values, you got core values, and no question is gonna stump you.
If you don't have core values, or if you're trying to hide yours, which is certainly what Barry is trying to do here, then you run into the problems that uh that he ran into.
Here's uh here's Karen Oklahoma City.
Karen, thank you for waiting.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you so much for all that you do, and it's such an honor to talk to you.
Thank you, madam.
Well, I uh I can just about imagine what's going on at CNN because Friday I was held captive.
You know how they only air CNN at the airports.
And um they were so sure that John McCain was going to fall so flat, not connect with anybody, and just totally uh be blown out of the water with the.
So was I. A lot of people on McCain a lot of people uh have have that they had that fear going in about McCain.
That's why everybody was so on our side was so profoundly satisfied and excited and and uh pleased.
Well, I just I I it made me so sick just listening to those pundits talking about how Obama is just, as you put it, the the Messiah and how he can connect and how he is just so much more brilliant, and and McCain just cannot connect with evangelicals or with conservatives.
And so I just uh it's it's so good to hear the responses that he had.
And uh thank you for just sharing all this because I did not hear the whole session.
Well, we've got lots more coming up, uh, thank you for that.
But the uh i let me tell you something.
They have bought the myth.
The drive-by's have bought into the myth just as Obama has that he is a messiah, that he's special, that he's smarter than everybody, smarter than anybody ever has been, all these all these crazy things.
And the the reason for it is, Karen, is we have mentioned on this program on several occasions, to the to the you gotta understand liberals to understand what's happening here.
It's not that you have to understand the media, because everybody understands the media.
What you have to do is understand liberals, and there are more than I can mention.
Uh recognizable characteristics and traits that liberals have.
Chief among them, and you have to put this in the top five, is their never ending sorrow and guilt over slavery.
And in their mind, we still have not moved anywhere near far enough in eradicating the uh that that that episode in our history.
We still have rampant sexism.
We still have rampant racism.
There are still white racists that are going to prevent Obama from winning, and all this.
And so this this attitude that the left has that this country is uh uh very imperfect, and we have created much of the evil on our own streets Because we have we have continued sexist and racist behavior.
We have not tried to do anything that they approve of to eradicate this.
And so here comes the first black candidate for president.
They think this is historic.
They think this will say such great things.
So they have as much invested interest for themselves in this guy winning as he does.
They're looking at his candidacy as something historic that they and only they can make happen.
And it doesn't matter what he says.
As long as he says the right things that a Democrat or a leftist would say, then that's that's plenty.
He doesn't have to be specific.
All he has to do is seem like he's smart, and they'll do the rest.
They'll take care of the mythology, they'll take care of the image packaging and marketing, they'll take care of the public relations, they'll build this guy up, and what they didn't understand is that all that was going to lead to a backlash, and they've created such a myth, they created such uh when you when you actually start portraying somebody as a messiah-like figure, there's no way an ordinary human being can ever become a messiah or even close, not even approach it.
And when you try to make somebody do that, and that somebody, in this case Obama, starts to believe it himself, then you are watching a disaster in the making, and that is what's happening.
And so they bought the missile.
You hear these CNN people talking about how Obama's gonna just gonna wipe the floor with McCain.
McCain can't connect, he's too old, he's a white-haired wrinkled guy.
They're so divorced from reality because of their desires to make history here that they are being embarrassed and humiliated every time they report on this campaign.
By the way, folks, uh one one of the things that uh uh need to say, and I I neglected to mention this when it uh when it when I was reviewing Obama's comment when he the the the the uh thing from the the the scripture from uh Matthew about uh what you do to the least of uh my brothers you do to me.
How does uh and and that is his he says is his favorite biblical scripture.
How does that square with his stand on abortion?
Who are the least of us?
Who are the most innocent and who are the least able to protect themselves?
Babies in the womb.
And Obama is content with them being killed.
He's content with them being killed.
He's content with them being aborted.
So how does that square with his belief that what you do to the least of my brethren is what you do to me.
This guy is just starting to make me mad.
By the way, uh evil.
Obama says there's evil all over America.
Yet this the murder rate in Obama's hometown of Chicago is up eighteen percent over last year.
Republicans and attack ads are trying to put the blame on Obama.
Quote, murders in Chicago risen 18% over a year ago, assaults in the city involving guns are also rising.
City officials, police superintendent Jody Weiss and the police force are increasingly coming under criticism, but some Republicans say part of the blame is with Obama.
They argue that while serving Illinois as its junior senator and earlier when he was a candidate for president as a state lawmaker, Obama didn't do enough to make violent crime a priority.
Specifically, they point to his votes over gun legislation and the death penalty.
So what here is a situation where he talks about all the evil that we have created in America by trying to eradicate evil, and when it is come time to punish those who've been caught doing evil, he goes soft.
And so the great Messiah, the most merciful Lord Barack Obama, whose unifying characteristics are such that we are all going to pump become at one.
In his immediate sphere of friends, everybody's angry, everybody's enraged, they don't like America.
He can't bring his own party together, he can't unify his own party, and now the murder rate in his own city of Chicago is up eighteen percent.
Here's Norman in New Britain, Connecticut.
Hi, Norman, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Nice to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, um one of the things Obama said when he his uh moral dilemma, what his biggest failing was, Was that, you know, he did his drugs or whatever, but he went to explain that that's because he always thought more about himself or about me than anyone else.
Yeah, he thought it was selfish.
Yeah.
And his whole campaign's the same thing.
It hasn't changed.
I, you know, he's 47, he's still all about me.
He doesn't care about what the true Americans in this country think.
We don't want to lose the war.
We want our borders protected.
We don't, you know, the missile defense thing we just did with Poland, he wants to pull that out.
I mean, he's on record saying all this.
And America just got to wake up and see he's just being selfish.
They are.
America's waking up.
It's very early.
I'll tell you what the Democrats are counting on.
The Democrats are counting on this big acceptance speech of his a week from Thursday night, outdoors at in Vesco Field at mild high.
Because here's what's happened in a nutshell.
The bloom is off the rose.
The Obama of February and March, where people were fainting, and there were these supposedly uh large crowds of 25 and 30,000 people, people were fainting.
Those days are gone.
And it was those days that launched him.
It was those days that created the whole Messiah image.
It was those days that had people thinking, wow, we've never had anybody come along like this before.
Why look at what this guy's able to do to people?
Well, he's not able to rally people like that any longer.
He's not able, he can't recapture that because it's over.
There hasn't been any substance offered along with all the platitudinous nothings that Obama was saying because back then, don't forget, he was saying nothing.
He was saying nothing better than anybody I'd ever heard say nothing, but he was still saying nothing.
Hope and change.
And even his own buddies in the Democrat Party have come out and said it was in the New York Times yesterday, hey, you're gonna have to put some substance with his hope.
You know, change is not an issue.
You're gonna have to tell us what you're gonna change.
You have to tell us what the hope is.
And he can't because the change in the hope is him.
The change in the hope is his arrival.
The change in the hope is the blessing that we all have that he is among us.
And he believes that crock as well, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, you know, one of a one of our great one one of our this nation's greatest moral failures, undeniably was slavery.
But you want to know something?
One of our greatest moral accomplishments was ending it.
And that is rarely given the praise that it deserves, despite the loss of over five hundred thousand Americans during the Civil War.
The ironic thing is that the American drive-by media today and the American drive-by sports media and the Democrat Party thinks that America is more racist today than it was during slavery.
I mean, that's the real way to put this in perspective.
It's not that we haven't done enough.
They think it's worse.
They act like it is worse today than it's ever been, and we're going downhill, despite the evidence to the contrary.
So it is their inability to see the great moral successes of this country.
There aren't any.
This country is imperfect and it is immoral by virtue of its existence, and that is primarily because the left doesn't like capitalism.
Our market economy to them is number one unfair, because not everybody has the same outcome.
And this is what Obama believes.
But this country, without any question, this, ladies and gentlemen, is inarguable.
United States of America is the greatest moral force in the world.
We not only eliminated slavery in our own borders, we defeated mass murderers in the Third Reich, Imperial Japan, the Soviet Union, and thousands of other places.
In fact, the most significant human force against evil in the world is our country.
Obama doesn't think so.
The Democrat Party doesn't think so, the American left doesn't think so.
Now, as for slavery, the founding of America, the Declaration, they were never compatible.
So it it it should be said that the American founding launched the eventual end of slavery.
And if you're familiar at all with the debates that raged, putting together the declaration and the Constitution, the founding documents, there were there were a number of warnings from various founding fathers that we're going to do something about these slave states because this isn't gonna fly.
And the slave states didn't want to hear it, and that's where we got three-fifths of a vote.
But the very fact that the founding of this comp country was incompatible with slavery is what led to the abolition of slavery.
It was the moral force that was in our founding documents that got rid of it.
There's not another group of people on the history of this earth living together as a nation that have done more for the moral rectitude of the world for the moral uh uh uh ability of of nations to treat citizens properly.
We've done there's no nation that's done more to rid the world of evil.
And this is why it is literally frustrating and maddening to listen to empty suits like Barack Obama who walk around with this arrogant elitism believing just the opposite.
Now that we have the Larry Ross information of Byron York, that all two camp both candidates had the first two questions, and that Obama actually had the third when McCain didn't.
This underscores the extent of the Obama campaign's lie and Andrea Mitchell's incompetence.
The Obama campaign puts out privately, yeah, McCain had to cheat.
We think he knew the uh the only way he could have beat our guys cheat.
He could have beaten Obama with half his brain tied behind his back that night because Obama's core values were not on display because they're probably haven't yet been discovered, and McCain's were.
But Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, could have easily called Larry Ross at the Saddleback Church, just as Byron York did from National Review, and find out what the deal was.
But nope.
All it had to happen was that the Obama campaign had to put out the notion that McCain had cheated, and Andrea Mitchell with the tongue on the floor laps it all up, and then reports, this is what the Obama camp is saying.
Now, one of the things that I have noticed about journalism ever since they started covering me, they would write things such limbaugh claims to have an audience of X number of million.
I'm not claiming it.
It's right there.
The proof is in the ratings.
I'm not claiming anything.
They claim that I said this.
They could easily look it up, chose not to, because they'd rather report that I'm the one saying it, which makes it uh doubtful, because of course I have a self-interest in having the audience be reported as large as it is.
So Andrea Mitchell's cover story here is I I wasn't offering an opinion.
I wasn't offering an opinion, I was just passing along what the Obama camp said.
Well, what if they're lying?
That doesn't matter if they were lying, because it was a great thing to pass a law that got the notion that McCain cheated on meet the press on NBC.
There was no journalistic work done to track it down.
There was there was no attempt to verify whether any of that claim was true, because they didn't care whether it was true.
They just wanted to be able to say it and and tag it to the Obama campaign, which they thought, which Andrew Mitchell thought gave her uh uh insurance.
But there was no journalism attached here to what they did in reporting this.
And now that we know the truth that Obama knew one more question than McCain did, then the entire lie that is the Obama campaign as it reached NBC's Meet the Press has been exposed for one and all to see.
Be right back after this.
Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have here on the EIB network, Ken in Brooklyn.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, Megadidos from Enemy Territory, Brooklyn, New York.
Yes, sir.
Rush, the uh greatest moral failing of the United States of America is the proliferation of liberalism in our society.
And uh Obama, you know, I told you screener the exact point of how dare Obama trot out the gospel to make a political point, and the point that he makes is you know, the least of my brethren, of course what you said, the least of our brethren are innocent babies in the room.
And I I quote a uh a clip on Hannity's America last night that he was saying that uh one of the foundational issues of our country's right to choose.
I thought it was life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The first word in there is life.
This guy is not the Messiah, trust me, Rush.
He's the prince of darkness, and that is not a racial slur.
I understand what you're saying.
I don't even I don't think Obama is himself.
Uh well, this is some people could disagree with me.
I don't think he is his himself the embodiment of evil.
I I think he's just stupid.
I really do.
I just I just think that he is dangerously ignorant and incompetent, and he could lead circumstances where evil triumphs all over the world because he doesn't see it.
He sees this country as the focus of evil.
He sees this country as the reason bad people are bad, both in this country and around the world.
As as to this the uh uh proliferation of liberalism in our society, I don't know we can blame that on the uh on the country.
Uh like but slavery was something that that was that was something institutional uh in the uh in the United States.
And it just it's it's of course the the the abortion business, he's he's he's been he's been exposed on this.
It isn't gonna be long before the whole country knows that this guy was in favor three times of killing babies that had survived abortions.
I don't care what he says about abortion after that.
He cannot recover from that.
And he's lying even about that whole process, because he said he voted against that bill three times in Illinois because it did not contain provisions necessary, he said, to protect encroachments against Roe v.
Well, one of the bills did.
One of the bills in Illinois was written to mirror a federal piece of legislation on the same thing, and he still voted against the bill.
And there's it's easy to understand why.
He's doctrinaire.
He is the product of what he's been taught.
And I actually think there's something more than that going on.
I think, remember back in the early days of this campaign, I said, who's running this show?
Who's actually behind this?
We know that it's David Axelrod who's writing all these these uh these vapid speeches that sound great but say nothing.
But I'm I am convinced that somebody somewhere who didn't like the Clintons in the Democrat Party or somewhere decided that this would be the best guy because he's intelligent, he speaks well, uh and and he's young, and they can put words in his mouth and he can regurgitate them properly.
I actually think that this guy is a walking, talking robot.
He has been programmed from the time he was young and started into formal education, he's been programmed to believe what he believes, and he just he's going to be loyal to those who have put him where he is.
And that how that's that's that's how I explain all of these positions he takes that are totally contradictory, such as voting three times to kill babies outside the womb after they have survived an abortion.
Even when the bill vo gets the particular language that he wants, he still votes against it, it's because he's been told to.
He's been told to by every left-wing special interest group what to do on that special interest.
And whenever anything in abortion comes up, he is going to make sure he votes the pro-choice way, no matter what.
And that's what he's been programmed to do, and that's what he's doing.
I uh almost think that uh, you know, some people say Manchurian candidate, if that helps you understand it, fine.
But it's it's it's robotic.
I have to tell you a little story real quickly.
Friend of mine, deep dear friend of mine from Palm Beach called me yesterday afternoon and said, I I have to come by and see you.
I'm I we have to we have to find some way to make sure McCain doesn't pick a pro-choice or liberal as his vice president.
And I said, Oh, I've been working on this last Thursday and Friday.
But she said, come on by.
I said, come on by.
So she came by and uh she had her iPhone with her.
And she said, you know what, I I I I wanted to improve it.
She's not computer savvy.
She took it to an Apple store to have something done to it.
I don't I don't I don't know what.
I I couldn't quite understand it.
But all 360 pictures that she has taken with her iPhone are now gone.
Now I don't know why she hasn't had them backed up to her computer, because an iPhone has to be used with iTunes, and you connect it to iTunes, you can back up your pictures to into iTunes, or you back them up into iPhoto.
Or your Windows version of this, but she's she's getting into a Mac.
There are pictures, pictures are gone.
And you know what it made me think?
Here we've got here we've got this tropical storm heading our way.
It might become a hurricane.
And how many of you have got all kinds of important pictures and notes, emails, documents on your computer?
You're not all that literate.
What if something happens and you lose it all and you're not backed up?
You're up a creek just like she is.
We're working on getting her pictures back from the Apple store, but you won't have that option if you lose your data.
If you got a power surge or something with the all that's gonna happen, there's a place that you can back up everything you've got.
You can do it today.
It's called Carbonite.com.
They have backed up over 11 billion files.
I've talked to people who've restored, destroyed hard drives from the Carbonite website.
Works like a champ.
Go to Carbonite.com.
Don't lose what's valuable to you on your computer.
