Time Text
Howie's always as fast as three hours in media, ladies and gentlemen, Ill Rushball.
Your guiding light.
Highly trained broadcast specialist, executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, the email address.
Lrushball at EIB net.com.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is uh it is true.
And the McCain people even have an ad out on this.
Michelle Obama, who will speak tonight at the uh Democrat convention.
Oh, Time Magazine, I just saw Time Magazine has a story posted on Michelle my Belle Obama and what a tremendous sacrifice she made to further the uh the life of her baby maker Barack Obama.
She um I mean it's almost a it's it's it's a it's like a rewrite of all the things Hillary sacrificed in order to let Bill realize his dreams.
They just keep recycling everything.
Anyway, a McCain ad highlights it has it, there is no no, no, it it Andrew Breitbart says that McCain should do an ad that would highlight the fact that Michelle Obama's on leave from the University of Chicago Medical Center, where by the way, she makes $317,000 a year.
And this just this job is uh is now under scrutiny.
Uh the Chicago Sun Times reports that the University of Chicago Medical Center has a scheme that steers patients who don't have private insurance, primarily poor black people, to other health care facilities.
Tony Preckwinkle, alderman for the fourth ward, said the medical professionals who have come to me are accusing the university of dumping patients on its neighboring institutions.
Now, my point in mentioning this, I'm sure this is not the only hospital where this this happens, uh except in the emergency rooms.
But here's the point.
I was thinking about this the other day in in the in terms of the context of just how in the tank, more so than ever before, uh the media is for Barack and Michelle Obama.
Do you realize in all of the stories, the puff pieces that we've had on Obama for what, a year and a half now, there really hasn't been one to find out who he is.
They don't care who he is.
They don't care what he did with Bill Ayers.
They don't care about his Chicago organizing activity, community agitating stuff.
They don't care about his qualifications.
They don't care about this hypocrisy with his brother living in the hut on $12 a year.
They don't care that none of that jibes with Obama's supposed compassion.
If he just sent his brother $20 bill, he'd come close to doubling his half-brother's annual income.
He hasn't even sent him a sign for the hut that he lives in outside Nairobi that says Hut Sweet Hut.
Here's Michelle working at a place that that turns away poor black people that don't have medical, private medical insurance.
This ought to outrage them.
It ought to say phony, phony, phony, because it's Obama who keeps citing scripture.
What you do to the least of my brothers, you do to me.
Why has Obama not sought to help the brother living in the hut?
What did they do as community organ?
Why did they try to cover up the mentorship relationship that Obama had with Jeremiah Wright?
Well, we all know the answer is just they hate conservatives.
Of course the Democrats do, but so does the media.
So it doesn't matter.
Plus he's black, and I'm telling you, it's that that makes this all historic to them and makes their role in their own inflated minds historic as well.
It doesn't matter that he's a walking hypocritical contradiction, as is his wife.
There has been no media anal exam of Barack Obama, like there is now of McCain and his supposed homes, and how he has no ability to relate to the common man because he has all these homes and doesn't even know how many they are.
When you sit down and you get past the comedy of it all, it really is striking how incomplete or how non-existent their job really is.
Their job, as they have themselves admitted it is taught, is to uh poke power.
Find out who's powerful, who's misusing the power, and so that they don't care.
They literally don't care.
They are so consumed with fear and outrage and hatred that it doesn't matter to them who their candidate is.
It doesn't matter what their candidate is.
It doesn't matter to the Democrats either.
It's striking.
It is really profound.
Now they know that he's a big leftist and they're happy about that.
Don't misunderstand.
They don't know the baggage.
They don't know the hypocrisy.
They don't know the baggage.
They think they can mask it.
They think they can cover it up.
But they can't any longer.
Because they don't run the show any longer.
Although they think they do.
But you know, there's some community organization in Chicago that needs to look into this dumping of poor black people by the University of Chicago Medical Center.
I thought this is what community agitators are supposed to do.
Find out how black members of community are being mistreated and go after the people mistreating them and say, what the hell?
And cause little trouble.
But here's Michelle's own hospital dumping uninsured poor black people.
And say you go find your your health care some other institution, and where are the community organizers representing these people?
Nowhere.
And this is in the Chicago Sun-Times.
It's in the newspaper in Chicago.
But none of this stuff makes it into the drive-by media.
Instead, they continue this game of camouflage and mask and try to present people as something other than what they are, because they know the dirty little secret is that they don't have a prayer of winning if they're properly identified and characterized as just radical leftists, which this ticket is.
This ticket, this ticket makes Ralph Nader look moderate.
That's how leftist this ticket is.
And there's also, once again, there is either some profound ignorance or some genuine stupidity that has assumed central positions of power in this party.
We all know that Obama doesn't know what he's talking about half the time.
This flub on abortion that they have both made, here's Obama out there at the saddleback church.
Uh, when does life begin when uh when the babies get human rights?
That's above my pay grade.
And you're unqualified, sir.
If that's above your pay grade, you're doing here's a human rights community rights activist that doesn't know when babies get their human rights.
I mean, that's a disqualification among supporters who realize, gee, whiz, you know, this guy's not gonna have a prayer if this gets out.
And then Pelosi on Meet the Press yesterday lies about the Catholic church's position on abortion, claiming they haven't decided when life begins.
And if that's true, then why does the Catholic Church disapprove of the pill?
Because they don't want conception.
Why?
Because that's when life begins.
She presenting herself as bigger than the Catholic Church.
Certainly, somewhere in the Democrat Party, the bowels of that convention out there, there's got to be somebody just banging their head against the wall saying, What in the world?
Can we not get these people to shut up?
The most ignorant, uninformed, or stupid among them, rise to the top of that party.
And then their words are amplified as though they are the greatest wisdom we've ever heard.
Let's go back to meet the press.
Nancy Pelosi yesterday, brokoff says, I think most people understand that, but at the same time, if we work our way off carbon-based fuels, in the meantime, this is not going to happen overnight.
We could Reduce the price at the pump immediately with reducing.
You can have a transition with natural gas.
You can have a transition with natural gas.
That that is cheap, abundant, and clean compared to fossil fuels.
The Bush administration, two oil men in the White House, they want us to believe that the status quo is what we should do and more of it and more of it.
When it'll just only keep us in the same place that we are now.
Again, I, you know, it's it's not, folks, that she's just wrong about this.
It's just how badly wrong she is, how embarrassed.
This would get somebody laughed out of a high school classroom.
Yeah, not anymore, maybe, but in some classrooms, private school classrooms, it would get somebody laughed out of the place.
And then let's not leave Obama out for credit.
Obama says, Oh, I'm gonna make sure we're gonna have uh ten years, no more using oil.
I'm gonna use oil in 10 years, I'm gonna make sure that happens.
How are you gonna do that, sir?
You don't run the market.
I'm gonna make sure we have a million cars running electricity in ten years.
A million cars, where's the electricity gonna come from, bumblebrain?
You don't want any nuclear power plants built to produce it.
Where the hell are you gonna get the electricity?
Where do we get it?
We get it from coal.
Pardon my incredulity here, folks, but you know, we always ask ourselves, how in the world do we get these people?
Why are why does neither party have somebody worth voting for half the time?
I had somebody asked me that yesterday.
Just listening.
You know, I was just I was just I was giving a preview of yesterday's show to a friend, and I said, look, it here's some of the why she said to me, why do we not have anybody better?
Because the Democrats think this is the best they've got.
And the Republicans are confused about how to be their best.
Part of it is the media anal.
Who the hell wants to go through it?
Who wants to go through for 400 grand a year to be president?
You've got to have a pretty big desire for a lot of power to put up what it's going to take to get it, including the media anal.
But this.
They got Obama, a million electric cars in ten years, no oil in ten years.
We're gonna be.
I mean, this is it is such sophistry as to be um as to be frightening.
And Pelosi doesn't realize that fossil fuel is a or natural gas is a fossil fuel.
I wonder if she even knows where the hell it comes from.
Hey, you know, Nancy.
Pst.
In almost all instances, there are some exceptions, but you don't get natural gas till you find oil.
They're kind of one and the same in terms of location.
Yeah, natural gas burns a little cleaner, but uh we still have to go get it, and and we get it by looking for oil in many, many cases, finding it.
But it is a fossil fuel.
Now her spokesman said, Well, she knows it's a fossil fuel.
She was just talking about how it's cleaner than oil.
And Brokaw then asked, well, what about your investment here with Boone Pickens?
You just mentioned natural gas.
You emphasized it as well as your uh in your last radio address.
The Wall Street Journal says that you and your husband have made a substantial investment in poo in Pickens' plan, which has a heavy emphasis on natural gas.
Well, let me see if you call substantial zero three percent of our between a hundred and two hundred thousand dollars.
No, no, it's between fifty and a hundred thousand dollars.
And it's part of an uh uh an in a uh uh entrepreneurial package.
This is the package we sign up for, this is what they invest in.
But that's not the point.
I'm I'm I'm investing in something I believe in.
I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative uh to fossil fuels.
But you're also in a position to influence where the emphasis will be and where we're moving.
Well, that's not that that is that is the marketplace.
The fact is the supply of natural gas is so big, and you do need a transition if you're gonna go from fossil fuels, as you say, uh you can't do it overnight, but you must transition.
So three times.
Three times she says natural gas is not a fossil fuel, and then she papers over her investment with her husband as just fifty to a hundred thousand dollars.
That's what that's not the point.
No, no.
Mara Marker will take care of I'm not really influenced.
This is the woman who's trying to guide our energy policy.
This is a woman who's trying to write it.
This is the woman who's preventing drilling for oil.
This is the woman standing in the way of anything that might, in terms of our efforts, help to reduce the price of oil.
Now, one thing that you need to know, for Boone's plan to be profitable, in other words, for natural gas to be seen as a worthy target as a replacement for gasoline, you need one thing, folks.
You need gasoline prices to stay high.
If they don't, then it becomes less attractive to go to natural gas.
And who is standing in the way of any efforts in this country to lower the price of gasoline?
Nancy Pope Pelosi.
Had a lot of people call me, email me today asking Rush, could you give us a follow-up on the book written by the 16-year-old who called you on Friday.
Where does anybody remember where that call came from?
I was I've been trying to think over the weekend, and it seemed like it was uh Great Northwest.
Yeah, state of Washington is what I thought it was.
And and uh a book by the Beattie Boys uh entitled Pulling Weeds to Picking Stocks.
And this 16-year-old young man called here and uh very tepidly asked me about the cost of advertising on this program, because he wanted to advertise it because the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation uh and Pete Haas had uh done something amazing for the Beatty family, and they wanted to repay them.
They'd written this little book.
It's a hundred pages, it's like eleven bucks, and they wanted to donate uh twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars of the proceeds from the sale of the book back to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, and uh young man wanted to know how much it would cost to advertise, which I told him no, you don't want to know, and then I started asking him some questions about the book.
And it turns out, folks, this is this warmed my heart the whole weekend.
It turns out that when the young man called here to tell us about his book, it was on the Amazon list.
It was at around 585,000 on the sales rate.
I didn't know that they ranked books that far on Amazon, but I checked it two or three times.
It's a figure I came out with.
By three o'clock in the morning Saturday, when Obama's vice presidential announcement had been made.
Pulling weeds to picking stocks had gone from 585,000 to number five, and had sold out.
It was out of stock at Amazon.com after his call to this radio program, and I think it still is out of stock.
I think you can still get it to 11 dollars, he said 1195, 100 pages.
And it's um that just to imagine how happy that whole family was over the weekend, because they ended up getting about 45,000 dollars worth of advertising on the program with his phone call, gratis.
Which you had a live read from the host of Tabo, which is that adds a premium.
Uh, by the way, ladies and gentlemen.
So, congratulations to the Beattie Boys and the book Pulling Weeds to Picking Stocks.
It's still for sale.
I just I should check.
We should go there and see if it's still out of stock.
But I do know it got as high as number five overnight Friday into uh into Saturday morning.
Here's uh this is Melanie in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Hi, Melanie, welcome to the EIB network.
Thanks, Rush, for taking my call.
Thank you.
Um, our family's really enjoyed watching the Olympics over the last couple weeks, especially the gold medal performances by the Americans, and then watching them run around with flag striped around them, and then I just can't imagine why anybody would want to follow that up with watching the Democratic National Convention.
Well, you know, you're gonna have winer's excuse makers, and they're gonna celebrate America's flaws.
I can't imagine that that's gonna go over well with the you know timing right after the end of the year.
You know why I hadn't thought about that, Melanie, but uh that isn't that that that is a clever and very shrewd observation of yours.
One thing I don't think that the I mean, the the Olympics this time around turns out to be the most watched television show ever over that length of time.
Right.
I don't think the Democrat convention's gonna get anywhere near that kind of audience.
Right, and I wonder why that is.
You know, it's because people don't want to celebrate America's flaws and shortcomings.
Well, that is totally true, but that's gonna be a that's gonna be a stark contrast.
But the Democrats don't think that's what they're gonna be doing, see.
They think they're gonna be telling people the truth about the country that all Americans agree that we got we've sunk low.
We need to pick it up.
They're wrong about that.
Just check this.
Pulling weeds to pilling stock.
Pulling weeds to picking stocks still sold out at Amazon.com.
It was David Beattie from uh TriCities, Washington, who called me on Friday to tell about the book.
Said the book costs 11 bucks.
That is the retail price, but they're always cheaper at Amazon.
It's paperback, hundred pages.
Amazon, it's on sale for six dollars and four cents.
But it sold out out there.
Don't let this stop you from ordering it.
They'll just they'll just have to uh they'll just have to reprint it.
Uh back to Biden.
I think we've given enough time here from our discussion of Biden to other things to go back to Biden.
From the Washington Post of Sunday, a son and a brother of Senator Joe Biden Jr. are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor out of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour.
The Democrat vice presidential candidate son uh Hunter, who is 38, and his brother James, 59, assert instead that their former partner defrauded them by misrepresenting his experience in the hedge fund industry and recommending that they hire a lawyer with felony convictions.
Sorry to laugh at the misfortune.
Hunter Biden was made president of this group with an annual salary of 1.2 million dollars despite his inexperience in the hedge fund industry, according to the lawsuit.
Before that, Hunter Biden had been part of the Washington law firm Old Acre Biden and Bel Air, which earned 1.76 million dollars into lobbying revenue in the first half of 2006, according to the Congressional Quarterly CQ Moneyline.
One of its biggest clients is the National Association of Shareholder and Consumer Attorneys, a district-based group representing war firms specializing in investment and corporate law.
Hunter Biden is one of many children and relatives of prominent members of Congress who have made their careers as lobbyists.
He returned to lobbying after less than a year with paradigm.
Letito's lawsuit alleges that James Biden, the brother, called him in January 2006 to arrange a job for Hunter Biden, says that James Biden told him that his brother, Joe Biden, was concerned with the impact that Hunter's lobbying activities might have on his 2008 Democrat presidential nomination.
And Biden told Latito that in light of these concerns, his brother had asked him to seek Latito's assistance in finding employment for Hunter Biden in a non-lobbying capacity.
So I mean, that doesn't require any translation.
Hunter Biden got a big gig at a hedge fund with no experience.
His dad said, You got to get out of this lobbying business because I'm going to run for president.
He told his brother to get him out.
It just reminds me this New York Times story from Saturday.
It was the top left of the front page about how disappointed they were that Obama is not getting the money out, that it's a bunch of fat cat donors that'll be on display, paying millions for the privilege of being in the club suites at Invesco Field at Mile High to hobnob with Obama before and after, and they just ring in their hands about all of the special interest money.
And I just, you know, it's it's one of these things I just I have to laugh at because every presidential race.
We hear this from candidates of both parties that we're gonna get rid of the special interest, we've got to get rid of lobbyists, so we never do, and we never will.
Lobbyists and special interests are as much a part of the electoral process as voters are.
And the idea that these people are going to come along and clean it up and that they've never been involved is just absolute absurd.
It's a lie.
It's just it's one of the reigning tenets of politics.
Rail against the things that people find most negative.
Try to convince them that you are gonna be the guy that finally cleans it up.
They believe you, they vote for you on that basis, and it never gets cleaned up, and four years later repeat the cycle.
Here's a story from the New York Times.
Obama aids defend banks pay to Biden's son.
This Hunter Biden guy is a busy guy.
During uh the years that Senator Joe Biden was helping the credit card industry.
Wait till you people hear this.
It's not just Pelosi trying to give the gas price up, so you have to go to natural gas.
And by the way, Ram Emanuel has introduced a natural gas legislation.
While Pelosi's out there telling uh uh broke all the oh, the markets take care of that.
My investment has nothing to do with any of that.
During the years that Senator Biden was helping the credit card industry win passage of a law making it harder for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection, harder.
His son had a consulting agreement that lasted five years with one of the largest companies pushing for the change.
And aids to ob do uh O'Biden's uh uh campaign acknowledged this yesterday.
Mr. Biden's son Hunter received consulting fees from the MBMA Corporation from 2001 to 2005 for work on online banking issues.
AIDS to Mr. Obama, who chose Mr. O'Biden as his vice presidential running mate Saturday would not say how much the younger Mr. O'Biden, who works as both a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, had received, though a company official had once described him as having a 100,000 dollar a year retainer.
But uh Obama aid said that he had never lobbied for MBA and that there was nothing improper about the of course that was not Democrats.
It can't be anything inappropriate about anything.
Campaign officials acknowledged the connection between the Bidens and MBA, the enormous financial services company, then based in Delaware was one of the most sensitive issues they examined while vetting the Senator for a spot on the ticket.
Biden's support for the bankruptcy changes, which were signed into law in 2005, puts him at odds with Obama, who opposed the bill and has criticized the presumptive Republican nominee McCain for supporting it.
So Obama's kids working for a credit card company.
Biden or Biden's kids, sorry, working for credit card company, and Biden Sr. the father, pushes legislation making it harder for you to sue for bankruptcy on the basis of credit card companies, where his son works.
In late 1996, a company hired the younger of Mr. Biden's two sons, Hunter Biden, who had just graduated from Yale Law as a lawyer.
The company promoted Hunter to senior vice president by early ninety-eight.
The younger Mr. Biden worked at the Commerce Department on electronic commerce issues from ninety eight to two thousand one.
Consumer advocates say that Senator Biden was one of the first Democrat leaders to support the bankruptcy bill.
I know so what?
So what?
So what?
It's just the hypocrisy of all this.
People want to try to present as clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
Claim to clean all this up, and they never ever will clean this stuff up.
I mean, it it just it is what it is.
But somehow the American voters somehow get sucked in every four years to accepting some candidates claim to clean all this up.
It just repeats every four years.
Here is uh Florence in Bandon, Oregon.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi.
Um I've never heard you before uh until May when I had to move and uh and I had the radio before I got my TV turned on.
And you're the only one I can seem to get any uh real news from.
I turn to the cable channels trying to find something out about Mr. Obama, and all I get is Mr. McCain being bashed all over the place.
You know, I've been a Democrat for almost fifty years.
And this is the first time that I'm not voting Democrat.
Um I just can't I can't understand Mr. Obama.
He walks all around a question that he's asked, and then when he gets through, you wonder what what did he say?
Well, that's just because see, you're not you're not uh apparently smart enough in their eyes to understand his brilliance.
You know, I don't really care how many homes Mr. McCain has, or that he doesn't know.
All I care about.
And as long as he doesn't ask me to pay it.
Pay his bills.
I I don't care how much he good luck to him.
He's got all that many.
But he doesn't have it, his wife does.
Yeah.
He's a good pre-up for crying out loud.
When I got married, I owned a home too in my own name.
And my husband didn't even know I had it.
So, you know.
But how many how many years ago was that?
Oh, that's been about 50 years ago.
Well, that didn't happen 50 years ago.
Well, I did it.
Good for you.
Good for you.
Yeah, but but you know, you're the only one that really gives me any news that I can understand about these people.
Well, I'm happy to hear you say that.
Because I I I based on what you've said, I value you as a uh you're you're a credible consumer making a choice.
You know, you don't sound like you're excessively partisan one way or the other.
You just have been a lifelong Democrat, but you can listen to Obama say nothing and realize he's saying nothing.
Yeah, and and as far as his uh running mate uh for vice president, it sounds like he's gonna be the president, not Obama.
Well, I just you know that's a good that is another because in a battle of egos here you got two giant egos, but I think Biden's is even bigger than Obama's.
It just Biden doesn't have the Messiah complex that Obama does.
Yeah, but I just wanted to thank you for all your information.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that, Florence.
It's really great to hear from you.
Thank you for taking the time to try to reach us.
Thank you.
Okay, you do the same.
Back after this.
Ha!
How are you?
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, uh we're all suffering overload here.
You know, I'm watching Fox, and they're trying to get so much squeezed in, there's so much going on, and then the same year.
I've just overloaded what I've gotten.
Something went past me, and I apologize for missing this.
Hunter Biden worked for a hedge fund, made one point two million dollars.
Incidentally, Chelsea Clinton works for a hedge fund.
John Edwards, the Breck girl, worked for a hedge fund that was foreclosing on people's homes in New Orleans, where he announced his campaign for president.
Michelle Obama went to Zanesville, Ohio during the Ohio primary and told people there not to work for hedge funds, and not to go to law firms and corporate law firms and hedge funds.
No.
The women in in Zanesville were supposed to stay in Zanesville and engage in the service economy there to help the least among them.
And yet if you look at Obama, he seems to love these big financial institutions.
I mean, his buddy Jim Johnson with his Fannie Mae ties.
And then Biden with his bank buddies and his son working as a lobbyist and as a hedge fund manager.
But don't worry, we're told.
No, no, no, no, no, don't worry.
This election's about change.
It's about fighting special interests and lobbyists.
Uh-uh.
I don't know about you folks, but I'm not swallowing this crock anymore.
I'm just I don't care what comes from which party.
This stuff is what it is, and we're gonna have to realize it's part of politics.
Politicians getting their kids jobs, incompetent kids in some cases, just like powerful people try to get their kids jobs all over the country.
Politicians probably had a little bit more pull because they can play the extortion game with uh with people.
Hey, here's a headline.
This is from new scientists.
Wind turbines make bat lungs explode.
Wind turbines I haven't read the whole story, just saw the headline, wind turbines uh make bat lungs explode.
Maybe a reason to support wind turbines.
Got to give you an update.
Do you remember uh ladies and gentlemen, I told you it was about I think it was it was a week ago.
Week ago yesterday.
Dear friend of mine who's not computer savvy, I gave her an iPhone.
She loves the iPhone.
She's been out there taking pictures with it left and right, but she's not computer savvy.
She didn't understand the concept of backing it up, and I didn't have the presence of mind to tell her because I figured you have to connect it to iTunes to use it, and iTunes will automatically back it up, but she had not done that.
She had taken it to store to get it activated.
And as such, uh she had a problem with it.
She had some building a house.
She had all kinds of things that she wanted to show her contractor on the iPhone, 360 pictures.
And of course, she they hadn't got it backed up, and she took it to the Apple store because there were one uh there was a one other function, not the camera, but a function to stop working.
And the the people at the Apple store thought it was backed up somewhere, and so they reset it, which erased it.
And poof, her pictures are gone.
So the next thing we try, we tried there are programs, you know, even if you delete things from a hard disk, you can still go back and get the data as long as it hasn't been overwritten.
In this case, it hadn't been overwritten, but the process of resetting the phone basically wiped it.
So her pictures are gone.
She will never ever not back up something again.
And I've talked about the archives, the audio archives that we have here, just on Joe Biden and all that we have from the years and years, 20 years we've been doing this program.
They're backed up three and four different times, three and four different places.
Because you just never know.
And if you're new to the computer world, you're relatively new, and you don't understand backing up.
I mean, you don't have to back up your television, you don't have to back up your dishwasher.
Why we have to back up a computer, but you do.
And there's a simple way to do it, and I've told you constantly, and it works, and it's a lifesaver.
You may never have to use it, but if you do, you'll be thanking me that you did.
It's called Carbonite.
They back up offline, I mean, or online to their servers, not even where you are.
They can restore it totally or partially, whatever you lose if it happens.
It is a miraculous thing, and it's simple, it is easy.
You you can you can be doing computer 101 and figure this out.
You can try it risk-free at Carbonite.com and use offer code rush, of course, then you get a special offer.
But it's a it's a brilliant thing.
Don't let happen to you what what happened.
Where would we be if we lost all these archives?
Where would we be?
I mean, we'd have the tapes, but all of the transcripts are what's backed up, and some of the audio as well.
We'd be SOL.
Joanne in Spring, Texas.
Thank you for waiting.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
I was wondering since the DNC has let uh Michigan and Florida come in and with full voting power, what kind of chaos you might think that might do to this Democratic Convention.
I don't think it's gonna do any chaos.
Um I think it's this is this is all part of the unity gambit.
This is all predicated on the fact that Mrs. Clinton's gonna release some delegates and the isn't gonna be close.
And I gotta tell you something.
You know, there was a story that she was going to release her delegates on Wednesday, but then CNN printed a retaction.
So we're not sure yet that she's gonna do this.
And Clinton, Bill Clinton is still, they haven't solved this.
Clinton is still ticked off.
They've given him a speech topic for Wednesday night, uh foreign policy.
And he doesn't want to talk about that.
So there's there's still some potentially fun reasons to watch this convention.
But that whole Michigan and Florida thing, that's that's just to um that's just to promote uh unity because they're gonna have a Hillary roll call.
So Hillary, some uh some look at that skank picture, Madonna they just put up.
I'll tell you, you know, there one aspect of this country is in trouble, folks, and it's our pop culture.
Some of these, some of these moron aging people just need to pack it up or at least start acting their age.
Did you see that picture?
I have a topic that Bill Clinton could speak on Wednesday night.
Resolved.
Why we don't need a second black president of the United States.
Try that out.
Maybe he'll go for that.
