Time Text
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have to admit I'm a little disappointed about this.
I was expecting more.
And one of the reasons I stayed.
I want I I like inclement weather.
No, no, I wanted to, I just I wanted to be part of it.
Every time one of these things hits, you know, I have to get out of town here in case we lose phone service.
Without phone service, I can do the program for a minute.
I didn't want to go.
And his storm has already petered out here.
Now they did get a couple damaging tornadoes west of us where we are now.
They got them out of welling today, but Wellington, but we didn't get anything.
We just got some steady soaking rain, which is good because we're in a drought here.
Uh greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, EIB Network, 800-282-2882.
I really feel sorry for the gang at the National Hurricane Center.
And you know, they've got an they got a new uh they got a new president or CEO down there to replace uh the guy that got canned last year because he didn't, I don't know what he did, didn't take global warming seriously enough or what have you.
At any rate, this poor guy, this is his debut storm, and they have no clue.
This storm is on us.
Well, we're dry now.
It's stopped running us, check the radar, some feeder bands coming our way, but they're they're light.
They have no clue.
You looked, folks, at the five-day cone on this thing.
They haven't the slightest clue.
There are so many factors that they cannot nail down.
Nothing to do with them.
It's not their problem.
It's just the way nature is.
They've some of the models on this thing have it it right now, it's just skirting the western edge of Lake Okeechobee.
And so it's it's supposed to head up to Cape Canaveral Jacksonville area by tomorrow night, be offshore near Jacksonville, and then it's supposed to double back.
Now, some of these models have it doubling back across Florida through the panhandle into the Gulf and hitting New Orleans.
Some of them have it going to Missouri, some to Tennessee, some to Georgia.
Some of the models have it going out to Iceland.
I've never seen a cone like this.
I've never seen a five to talk about cones.
I have never seen this.
It's not a cone.
It is a giant circle.
Now, I understand that forecasting weather is not the same as forecasting climate.
Nevertheless, I still look at it this way.
I have this look, we got this storm out there, tropical storm Faye, and it's right here.
I mean, it's just whoa, how far is Lake Okeechobee from here?
Fifteen minutes by air, max.
And they don't know where it's going.
Other than in the next 12.
And then at the same time, there are people working for the same government agency, NOAA, like James Hansen, who are out there telling us with certitude, based on their own models, what the climate's going to be like for the whole planet in 30 years.
Meanwhile, the computer models forecasting the path of a hurricane are all over the place.
There is some consensus of the models, which is why the Hurricane Center thinks is going to make a at least a northwesterly turn and perhaps come back into the Gulf of Mexico.
It just, it's just, I've never seen, I've never seen a storm like this that has so confounded them.
And for most of it, you know, when it was down there south of Cuba and then coming through Cuba and then surface, they were having trouble finding the center.
They were having trouble finding the center of circulation.
You couldn't see it on the satellite photos or loops.
And the they sent the hurricane hunter aircraft out there.
And one report, they actually said, because of restrictions imposed by the government of Cuba, our Hurricane Hunter aircraft cannot get close enough to the center to locate it.
Jeez.
And they're always able to spot these things with their microwave data and shortwave data and a water vapor data and all these other things that they use from the satellites.
And it is just, I don't know, just it's so to me, as a layman, it is illustrative of the folly of trying to predict climate for the entire globe.
Thirty years out.
When one little storm, this is a tropical Storm.
This is not even a hurricane.
We cannot be assured where it's going to be 24 hours from now.
We got a pretty good educated guest.
All right, progressive bloggers, very, very alarmed, very, very upset about the Obama campaign.
Now, normally, you know, bloggers being upset about things wouldn't bother anybody, but the drive-bys care what progressive bloggers say.
The drive-bys go to progressive liberal blogger conventions.
The drive-bys put them on television.
The drive-bys accept them as a credible source.
And the Huffington Post here lists three prominent progressive bloggers, suggesting that Obama has a serious weakness.
One of these bloggers that's loved and adored by the drive-bys is a guy named Joshua Micah Marshall.
And he's got a blog called Talking Points Memo.
And he wrote yesterday with so many instances of corruption and influence peddling around him, and whatever problems with the candidate that are keeping the campaign from letting reporters interview him anymore.
John McCain is now again charging Obama with what amounts to soft treason, wanting to lose the war in Iraq in order to make himself president.
The lack of any consistent lines of attack against McCain is becoming palpable.
And then another blogger complains that Obama's lack of attack is having an effect on liberal activists.
And uh so they're they're they're just they're distressed that Obama's not fighting back.
And even when he does fight back at some point, they're saying he doesn't do it with any passion.
He doesn't do it with any excitement.
Now today, Obama responded to McCain's patriotism attacks in a style he used effectively against Hillary Clinton, criticizing the tone of his opponent's campaign.
And that I don't know that that's effective.
I mean, here you have this former street activist.
And Parrott running for president of the United States, wagging his finger at John McCain on the improper tone that McCain is using in the campaign.
Obama has no ground, no solid ground to stand on in uh net level.
Plus, Barry, grow up.
It's a presidential campaign.
Get used to it.
He got, you know, he got so used to not being attacked.
And I'll tell you something else, Barry's doing.
And this is something, folks, mark my words on.
This is something the McCain campaign needs to do more and more.
They need to provoke Barry into playing the race card as often as they can.
They need Obama whining about race.
They need we need Obama complaining more and more about the pictures of the people on the dollar bills, and how he doesn't look like them, and how people are not going to be comfortable with that.
It's very, he's a very sensitive area for him and the Democrats and the drive-bys.
And the more he can be provoked into responding by using race, the more of a whiner he becomes.
And that is, of course, not attractive.
Somebody wrote today, it's like Bob Dole when back in 1988 running against Bush 41.
Dole at one point blew up and said, You make him stop lying about my record.
And that was the end of the Dole campaign.
Well, Obama's getting pretty close to that, wagging his finger.
You stop saying those things about me.
You stop attacking me like that.
And then we gets provoked and plays the race card to go all defensive and whiny and moany.
It's even better.
Let's listen to a little bit of Obama today.
He was in Orlando this morning at the VFW convention.
Here's a portion of what he said.
Before the surge, I argue that the long-term solution in Iraq is political.
The Iraqi government must reconcile its differences and take responsibility for its future.
That holds true today.
We have lost over a thousand American lives.
We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars since the surge began.
But Iraq's leaders still haven't made hard compromises or substantial investments in rebuilding their own country.
It is time to press the Iraqis to take responsibility for their future.
And the best way to do that is a responsible redeployment of our combat brigades carried out in close consultation with commanders on the ground.
So he's still out there insisting that the surge didn't work, and he still wants to declare defeat.
This is what he wants.
He wants to be able to proclaim that Iraq is a failure.
When the truth is, it's it's almost to the point now where we can say Iraq is a victory.
It's not there yet, but it's it's much closer, and this is something that Obama and the Democrats do not want.
Here is Obama again demanding that Russia abide by the ceasefire.
I reiterate my demand that Russia abide by the ceasefire.
Russia must know that its actions will have consequences.
It will imperil the civil nuclear agreement.
Yeah.
And Russia's standing in the international community, including the NATO-Russia Council.
Yeah.
And Russia's desire to participate in organizations like the WTO and the OECD.
Yeah.
And finally, we must help Georgia rebuild that which has been destroyed.
That is why I'm proud to join my friend, Senator Joe Biden in calling for an additional one billion dollars in reconstruction assistance for the people of Georgia.
Screw the people of Georgia.
Make him rebuild their own country like the Iraqis have to rebuild their own country, you doofus.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to call names.
He's ragging on McCain about uh about about about the taking the Russians out of the G eight.
He was, everything McCain said about this, Obama was criticizing.
Now he's parroting what McCain said.
And he again, I reiterate my demand that Russia abide by the C4.
Wait a second.
I remember the eyebrow, Tim Kane, governor of Virginia, proclaiming that Russia had abided by Obama's demand.
Remember that?
I thought the Russians had abided by it.
But apparently not, eh, Obama?
So you demand again, the street activists is demanding that that Pootie Poot stop his aggression against the Jordans.
Come on, Mr. Pootypoot.
Listen to me.
I'm the Messiah.
I'm Barack Obama.
Or I'm gonna pull you out of the G8 and I'm gonna pull you out of the WTO.
I'm gonna pull you out of the OECD.
I'm gonna pull you out of the OSS.
I'm gonna pull you out of the TIA.
He doesn't even know what he's saying.
Somebody put it on the prompter, he's reading it.
And then we gotta billion dollars to help Georgia rebuild.
The Russians ought to pay that.
The Russians ought to pay that Obama or make them pay them himself like you're making the Iraqis pay for themselves.
And then there was this.
One of the things that we have to change in this country is the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character or their patriotism.
I've never suggested.
I have never suggested and never will.
That Senator McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition.
You do.
I'm not suggesting it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national interests.
Do you?
Now it's time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same.
Let me be clear.
I will let no one question my love of this country.
I love America.
I love America, so do you, and so does John McCain.
This, to me, ladies and gentlemen, is striking.
Here we have the Democrat Party's presidential nominee, presumptive nominee, unless the Clintons do something about that next week.
telling a convention of the veterans of foreign wars that he loves his country.
There must be some doubt in some people's minds if the Democrat Party's presidential nominee has to go to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention and assure them that he loves his country.
Pleading with people to believe that he loves his country.
If the Democrat Party's presidential nominee has to say that he loves his country, then there might be some question.
And it's not because of anything McCain said.
McCain's not the only bright light in the room here who's figured out that Obama and the Democrat Party want defeat in Iraq.
They've been hoping for it.
They own it, they invested in it.
Challenge the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism.
You know, I'll challenge your patriotism when you actively seek the defeat of the U.S. military and the United States of America in Iraq, what the hell are you doing?
Hey, I wonder if Obama.
I'm sure if he had said this cookie would have given it to us.
I wonder if Obama told the veterans of foreign wars that America isn't the country that it used to be.
I wonder if he would tell the VAW that America's not what it used to be, and that's why he's running for president.
Because our country is just it's not what it used to be.
Like he said in Berlin.
And like he said to the seven-year-old kid that asked him why he wanted to be president.
I wonder if he I wonder if he said that to the VFW.
Nope.
Don't think so.
He had to assure them first that he loves the country.
Say, folks, let's go back here and and review uh some Obama's statements.
And you know, I don't I don't want to say let's go back and review Obama's patriotism, but he just got through telling the VFW convention today that he loves America.
And we have prepared for you here a montage of Senator Obama and uh his lovely and gracious yet enraged and angry wife, Michelle My Bell, Obama, on the campaign trail.
They get better and they cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren't like them.
Well I know that there's a hole in our soul.
I know my country has not perfected itself.
It's easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions.
It makes you feel justified in your ignorance.
That's America.
We're confronting the history and stain of slavery in this country.
We're confronting those scars.
For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country.
America is no longer what it could be, what it once was.
Barack Obama and the lovely and gracious Michelle My Bell, Obama.
Uh, enraged and angry and echoing the sediments that they both have been taught throughout their lives.
Richard in Allen, Texas.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Mr. Limbaugh.
Sir.
Could you confirm or debunk the rumor that I've heard that Nancy Pelosi is a major investor in T-Boon Pickens wind farm project?
Yeah, I don't know if she's a major investor.
It's 125 or 150,000 she put into it.
Yes, you're correct.
Isn't that a conflict of interest?
It is a conflict of interest.
Aren't there no Republicans in the House who will raise this before the Ethics Committee?
Uh no, no, no.
Well, I w uh I don't know if it's a disqualifying conflict.
It's a political conflict, certainly.
Uh the Republicans in the House.
Uh, you know, they're out of session right now.
The ethics committee is nowhere to be found.
The uh what's all going on in the House is these Republicans trying to keep the issue alive.
Here's here's the important thing, and this is this is where where your your assertion that there's a conflict is relevant.
For Boone Pickens' plan to to to be feasible, to be attractive to people, one thing must happen.
Gasoline prices must remain high in order for people to actively pursue the uh investment in wind and natural gas energy.
Now, Pelosi has led the way in keeping gasoline prices high by opposing anything other than taxing the oil companies, which would bring prices down.
Of course, raising taxes on the oil company is not going to reduce the price of gasoline a dime.
So there is that.
However, at the same time, Richard, you what you need to know this.
And this is from the prowler yesterday at the American Spectator, Nancy Pelosi has asked her leadership team for input into how to tamp down the talk and trouble that her party's having with both the energy issue and the fairness doctrine, both of which are energizing the conservative base leading into the fall election cycle.
One House leadership aide said it isn't what she wanted, or the Democrats in general wanted, and now we have a couple of issues that we've allowed to take over the debate.
We're doing polling and other research to figure out what our options may be.
What do you this is absurd for this guy to say this?
They actively took up both of these issues.
Pelosi has made it plain On a number of occasions that she wants to reinsert the fairness doctrine.
And Obama's campaign has pretty much said the same thing, although with not in in so many words.
And of course, the gasoline price, the energy?
Energy issue, they bought it.
They own it.
They did it on purpose.
And now they're out there polling to figure out what their options may be.
So she's not sitting pretty.
The whole thing may be crumbling on her.
And in order.
Everybody's a winner.
Oh.
Hot chocolate.
Speaking of the oil issue, ladies and gentlemen, uh, if any of this from the politico.com today, if any doubt remain that the debate over energy has shifted in Republicans' favor, Representative Mark Udall, Democrat Colorado, ended it this week.
Udall, one of the House's preeminent environmentalist wackos, and a Democrat nominee in a closely contested Colorado Senate race, came out in favor of a bipartisan kind the gang at ten deal.
That would permit additional offshore drilling.
A striking departure from his past opposition to such measures.
Now, one thing, the press are making a big hoo-haw about this, but the gang at 10 deal is not there isn't gonna be any drilling with the gang attend deal anywhere that matters.
And that's why he's able to do he knows at the end of the day, there isn't gonna be any, but still he needs to get on the right side, even in Colorado.
A Democrat needs to get on the right side of this issue.
Again, it illustrates how this issue has just fallen right into the lap of uh McCain and the Republicans.
Calling for more drilling is a political necessity in regions where the economy is dependent on the oil industry.
A Democrat congressman from Louisiana aired his first advertisement this week, highlighting ways in which he's taking on his own party to get more offshore drilling.
Michael Skelly, a wind energy businessman running as as a Democrat against Representative John Culberson, the Republican from Texas, immediately attacked move on a move on dot org advertisement attacking drilling in the suburban Houst Houston district, filled with uh energy employees.
So Democrats attacking move on.org drifting away from Nancy Pelosi on uh on energy.
Just it's sitting out there, sitting out there just waiting, waiting to be had.
And Republicans finally taking it up.
The Republicans in the uh in the House have and McCain's going back to an oil oil well or uh whatever.
He's going back out there.
So uh meanwhile, Obama's at the VFW assuring them that he loves America.
Nancy Pelosi, we told you about this yesterday.
You heard about this in the news yesterday.
We actually have the audio.
This is the Queen Bee, Sunday night San Francisco during an Obama fundraiser.
I'm worried shed his grace on America on the leadership of Obama.
Well, Nancy Pelosi, God surely did shed his grace on America with the leadership of Barack Obama.
It's a street activist, there is no leadership.
Anyway, uh some somewhat major news, perhaps.
Uh the lovely and gracious Senator Diane Feinstein, officially known as Daify, was up in the uh Lake Tahoe region with the other politicians out there went out and took a hike in the Lake Tahoe Woods.
She broke her ankle.
She was out there walking with Ellen Tosher.
She broke her ankle, her doctor.
Now remember, she is a Hillary supporter.
Her doctor has told her not to fly.
She was to have led the Democrat California delegation in Denver.
She will not be there because her doctor has told her not to fly after breaking her ankle in Lake Tahoe.
Yeah, I don't know that the means much, but it still is a little interesting.
Who's next on this program?
This is Andy in Las Vegas.
Hey, Andy, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Good.
I just want first of all, I want to let you know Rush is one of my top ten boys' names, Cecilia.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
Not surprised.
And uh, you know, due to your program, I I swear in front of all your listeners, I will not jackrabbit start anymore.
Yeah, there's really there's nothing where you we we you could you could probably say for every jackrabbit start that you don't do, you could probably say, well, I don't know, a hundred barrels oil.
Well, and and maybe my kids won't have to wear masks at school, you know, or something like that.
Well, you don't want that to happen either.
Hey, the reason I'm calling, you know, I hate to take you back to the first of your program, but you talked a lot about the uh the MBC worrying about their ratings for Olympics and you know, I I guess my suggestion would be I knew I was in trouble.
I'm a big Olympic fan and I seem to watch as much as I can, but I knew I was in trouble the first night or second night when I had to watch, you know, forty five minutes of the China qualifying gymnastics team trying to qualify only to be uh followed up by a two minute interview with them three American girls who took gold, bronze and silver in fencing.
I didn't even get to watch them fence, but I had to watch forty five minutes of China qualifying, and it seems like that's their theme is give China equal amount of airtime as U.S. And I'm not necessarily need to watch the U.S. win all the gold medals to watch the Olympics, but I want to watch the U.S. I don't want to watch China and with all the judging problems and gymnasium.
Well, I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
You bigot, you you anti communist hater.
What do you mean you don't want to watch China?
Don't you understand what NBC had to do?
NBC had to promise the Chicoms all that time in exchange for getting the rights.
In exchange for not being put in jail themselves while they're over there.
Well, obviously the the judges for the women's gymnastics had to promise that too.
I had to promise some scoring differences so that they didn't get thrown in jail.
So you know something.
This happens every Olympics.
We've got we got we've got cheater judges.
They're every this is this is part of the game.
Everybody knows this.
You ought to be the the the uh the judges in gymnastics particularly I mean, for crying out loud back in the days when we actually had a rival.
I think that's what NBC to be serious here for a second.
I think NBC was trying to set up the rivalry between us and the Chicoms because that has been the contest in the medals as to who has the most.
And I I think that's what they were trying to do.
Uh plus I'm I'm sure they were throwing bones to the ChICOMs as well by covering their team and all those eight year olds on the uh on the gymnastic team.
But but nevertheless, the the uh I think situation would it would it when you boil it boil this all down uh is that the judges in gymnastics have always been fake.
It used to be that the athletes were fake.
Back in the days of East Germany, the women were men.
They had to shave their armpits and they had to shave their faces.
I mean, it was it was a it was a comedy show.
It was a c to look at the East German women in anything.
Well, I think they could have won the weight lifting gold medal back in those days if they'd entered them into it.
Well, I just it's just frustrating for me to watch the Olympics and to see, you know, Costus making excuses for the judges and hearing people ask Kobe Bryant, you know, is it cool to be a patriot?
And you know, and then you know, we've got breaking news by Casas, which is the number one Chinese athlete won't be competing in the hurdles, yet we get uh Yeah, that really that broke me up too.
Uh and then all the coverage of the Chinese athlete crying uh after uh uh being injured, the Achilles injury preventing the uh it was a track and field uh uh person, right?
Yeah, and but yet I get a I get a ten hundred and ten meter hurdles.
That's really exciting to watch.
Yeah, and I get a ten second look at the U.S. woman who won the discus throw gold medal first time in ninety years, and I get a ten second look at her at the end of a program.
I mean, it's just maybe if they focus on American coverage, maybe we'd watch a little more.
I I didn't see that.
We had we had the first time a an American woman has won the discus throw in in how many years?
I w it was something like nineteen thirty was the last time we won a discus throw in women's, and she won the gold yesterday and Costa just mentioned it at the end of the program, and we saw her.
We didn't even see the national anthem or anything, we just saw her standing there, and that was it.
So amazing.
Anyway, but were you able to notice anything in the 10 seconds?
Uh I didn't even see her wearing anything, so I just other than an uh American uniform.
So didn't even show her on the stand.
It was amazing.
Yet the breaking news of the day was that China's number one athlete's out.
And that was a 20-minute show to watch him.
Not even star on what listening to you talk about this.
You are a glutton for punishment.
Because you knew after the opening ceremonies, they told you what they were gonna do and you stuck with it.
I know.
I don't know.
Thanks.
Well, at least Michael Phelps made a worthwhile for me.
So they it's kinda hard not to cover that guy.
So yeah, that's true.
That his is uh an amazing achievement.
Well look, uh Andy, I'm I'm sad that the Olympics have been such a downer for you.
I could have told you that if you'd have called beforehand.
What are you watching this week?
What what what what about the Olympics this week is excited you?
Oh, you know, the uh I think we got China ping pong going on tonight.
That ought to be real good.
So I'll I'll try that and uh we got no, we got a couple other good things coming up.
So I'm not table tennis.
You you do you demean that sport by calling it ping pong.
It is it is table tennis.
Well, and football is soccer and soccer is football, yeah.
I know.
How about the redeemed team?
You happy with the redeemed team?
Yeah, you know, and I was never a big Kobe Bryant fan, but after that interview yesterday, I'm sold.
Yeah, absolutely.
I love them.
A redeemed team is I mean, they're smashing people.
Yeah, we got the women's basketball smash him, we get the soccer going against Brazil for gold medal.
We got beach volleyball.
It's it's looking good.
Well, you got a point about beach volleyball.
All right, Andy, I gotta run.
I'm I'm uh I'm glad you called.
Thanks.
Thanks so much.
Brief time out here, folks will be back and and continue before you know it.
This is Michelle in Indianapolis.
Uh Michelle, thanks for waiting.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
I can't believe I'm talking to you.
I'll I'll try to get all this in.
I want to thank you so much for the first twenty years of the era of limbaugh.
Thank you.
Thank you very, very much.
Yeah, we with my husband and I and our rush babies uh moved to Indianapolis from Chicago from the overorganized community.
And uh we were actually able to participate in May in Operation Chaos here in Ity.
Amen.
Way to go, way to go.
Happy to know you were doing that.
It was hard.
I actually had uh uh picture of Hillary on my cell phone and Ted Dancing.
So it was pretty bad.
But here I'm I'm actually idling at my daughter's air on full blast, so I'm gonna I'm going to take my time.
She says to say hi.
But here's here's the thing, Rosh.
I'm thinking, coming from Chicago, you know, where we we're just inundated with uh Barack and his ideas.
Um I I do believe that on some level the liberals understand the free market because whenever racism is becoming scarce, they do not hesitate to drill for more.
No, they understand it.
They just oppose it.
Okay.
But they they they want it when it benefits them.
Exactly right.
So w when a precious resource like racism becomes scarce, they will go out and drill for new sources.
Okay.
You're exactly right.
They understand the principle.
They want it for themselves, just not everybody else.
Liberal's gonna have two sets of rules.
One for the elites, the arrogance, uh, and the condescending elites, and the other set of rules for everybody else.
They will exempt themselves from the limiting rules they place on everybody else.
Yes.
And you hit it right on with Barack.
It it's they they keep talking about all these reasons.
Why is it the poll so close?
What's going on?
And it reminds me of that that scene in Caddyshack, I don't know if you're familiar with, where Chevy Chase is trying to teach Bill Murray how to golf, and he's kind of saying, You're not uh you're not uh and he's standing behind him and he's trying to and he says, You're not good.
You know, and it's just reminds me of that.
He's just not good.
What did he what do he say, you're not what?
He's not a good thing.
Oh, you're not good.
You're not you're not good.
He's trying to say, you know, you're not leaning, you're not doing you're not you're not you're not good.
So it just reminds me of that.
You know, he's just not cut out for the job.
So no, he's not is it it it's it's it's s to me it is striking how unqualified Obama is uh and and and how th th this whole thing came about with uh with within the Democrat Party.
And I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.
They just did they were they were liberal policies are always going to end up strangling liberals, too.
And I think I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them.
It's the the reverse of it.
They've they've they've ended up nominating and placing at the top of their ticket somebody who's not qualified, who has not earned it.
It's perfect affirmative action.
And because all this guilt and the historic nature of things, nobody had the guts to say, wait a minute, do we really want to do this?
So they do it, and then they start behaving in manners and ways that let us know that they know that they've goofed up with the choice.
It actually has been somewhat uh fascinating to watch.
Hey, I gotta ask you people a question.
I meant to I meant to do this yesterday, but with this hurricane and this tropical storm trooping through with nobody knowing where it's going.
One thing you do need to know about this happened to a friend of mine in a similar uh uh extreme weather situation.
The the the people that steal your identity go to work during peace times like this.
Because you're out of the house, you're away from home, some of the people have to be evacuated in certain areas where these storms go through.
And they the the predators to steal your credit card uh information and so forth uh come alive during times like this when your normalcy is totally upstaged and placed out of whack.
