And greetings once again, music lovers and thrill seekers.
Rush Limbaugh back in the prestigious Attila the Hun chair at the Distinguished Limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
Email address L Rushbow at EIVNET.com.
A Democrat National Convention collectively holding its breath as Bill Clinton strides to the podium tonight.
And they're worried that he might blow the whole thing wide open.
And they're they're just they're panicked.
They uh they're not sure he'll stick to script.
They will be watching eagerly.
By the way, uh New Orleans is now considering evacuating as Hurricane Gustav model forecasts, the models indicate that uh New Orleans is is closer than not to uh where they think it's gonna go.
But you know, it really is early.
This thing's only moving five miles an hour.
It did finally change direction.
We here in Florida become lay experts, if you will, on these things.
And I uh I've I've I followed this stuff uh uh religiously, and there's this big high is this thing is in a category three or category four when it gets to the Gulf of Mexico, they say, but it's moving very slowly.
And here's the way we in Florida look at this.
There is a high pressure ridge over the Bahamas in Florida, and hurricanes don't like high pressure, so they avoid it.
So this high pressure area is here, but it is moving east slowly, but it's moving east, it's gonna be out of here someday.
This hurricane will track to the west around the high pressure ridge and then turn northwest.
What are you laughing at in there, Don?
Oh yeah, I could do it.
I could do it.
I could do it, I could do weather on TV.
This thing is is is going to turn around the high pressure ridge, but it's got to speed up to beat the high pressure ridge.
If the high pressure ridge moves before the hurricane moves far enough west and it's only going five miles an hour, then the right side of their cone is comes into play, and that's Tampa.
Right now, the the no models take it there.
Couple take it pretty close.
But if this thing doesn't speed up, then of course the turn to the northwest will happen sooner.
But if if their forecast is right or close to right, New Orleans is once again here in the bullseye, and so they're already making plans here to evacuate the city way in advance of when they uh started that process when Hurricane Katrina hit Bobby Gendal.
I saw Bobby Gendal said that if it does go, he's not going to the Republican convention.
You're not going to go there.
Because he's the governor of uh of Louisiana.
And it's uh I just saw something funny.
Was watching CNBC, which is not known uh for weather news.
That's a financial network.
And they ran a they ran a crawl at the bottom of the screen.
They said National Hurricane Center moves forecast track east.
I said, what?
So I watched it, and they hadn't, it's the same 11 o'clock track forecast.
They don't, they're not gonna update it till 5 o'clock Eastern time.
It's the same forecast at 11 that they're saying now was new.
It's not new.
Uh and in fact, the hurricane has made its turn west, uh, as they thought it would do last night.
And then they ran a graphic that says National Hurricane Center says, pay little attention to our track.
Essentially, uh this far again, we don't know.
We do not know where it's going.
But they're planning to evacuate, decamp, and move out of New Orleans.
All right, Barack Obama.
Speech tomorrow night.
Who knows what kind of mess he'll have to clean up after tonight?
Because tonight what do you have?
You have Clinton, and then you have Biden, you got the roll call.
The roll call is gonna start around five o'clock our time.
Uh, and it's the have they decided how long they're gonna let the roll call go?
Okay, so they're still fighting over that.
There was a they at one time they want to do the roll call from the delegates' hotel rooms today to hide it, and then they they had another plan.
Well, if they do the roll call from the convention, stop the roll call after Hillary gets her delegates from New York voting for her, and then she pledges her delegates to Obama and they avoid.
And then you wonder, ladies and gentlemen, if they let this thing go on, it's gonna demonstrate how close it was, and that's what they don't want the country watching the convention to see.
After the roll call comes Clinton.
And after Clinton comes Biden.
You better be prepared to stay up late because when Biden starts, you don't know when he's going to finish.
He might have to grab the hook.
In fact, the politico has a funny story today.
During his first full day of solo campaigning, newly minted Democrat vice presidential candidate Joe Biden showed some of the flashes of the hyperbole, exaggerations, and quips that Republicans are hoping to use to paint him as a loose canon.
In three sets of unscripted and sometimes rambling remarks yesterday, Biden thanked God that one of his audiences was overwhelmingly female.
He called Michelle Obama's convention speech the most remarkable speech I have heard in my life, and predicted it would propel him and running mate Barack Obama to victory in the fall.
He's the only one who thinks that Michelle's speech was the most remarkable speech they've heard in their life.
Life.
He also said that he didn't care about the press, that Obama has a sixth sense, and Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner has the most incredible story in American politics.
That he and Barack Obama had the most incredible opportunity since Franklin Roosevelt.
He choked up a handful of times once wiping away tears after proclaiming that having a chance to be vice president pales in comparison to representing Delaware in the Senate.
He just said he starts crying because he's so excited, and then he says it's no big deal.
It pales compared to representing Delaware in the Senate.
None of his assertions in and of themselves likely to cause problems for the Democrat presidential or vice presidential candidate, but the comments offer a harbinger of what to expect from Biden, a Delaware senator whose freewheeling stream of consciousness has gotten him into trouble.
And the story goes on to give some details.
and Turning to Obama, he said, Michelle, I mean this seriously.
There are speeches that are profound in the things that they say and what they communicate, but the mark of a truly incredible speech is when it's able to change the perception of a nation about not only an individual, but about circumstance.
That was what was so profound about Michelle's speech last night.
Well, now he may have a little bit of a point when he talked about changing perceptions, but not the way he means.
They did seek to change perceptions, that she's not this raging, angry.
I mean, you remember, you know, Barack could get assassinated going to the gas station like 1950s Alabama, or the you've heard it all the first time I'm proud of my country, and uh, you know, this sort of stuff.
That's what they did the transformation or transform, that's what they had to change.
And they uh and they did it in the process, they threw feminism under the bus.
Anyway, Obama's speech tomorrow night, cleaning up the mess that will hopefully be made tonight.
He promises a speech with more purpose and no mere rhetoric.
He promised to accept the Democrat nomination as a workman with a workman-like speech, offering policy details and not simply his trademark rhetoric.
His critics say it's not enough for him to promise change and hope without spelling out how he intends to do that if elected on November 4th.
I'm not aiming for a lot of high rhetoric.
I'm much more concerned to get this.
This is what Obama says of his speech tomorrow night.
I'm much more concerned with communicating how I intend to help middle class families live their lives.
This is what he said to uh reporters in Illinois.
Now, uh, Senator Obama, we in the United States are adults, and we do not need the likes of you or any president or any politician telling us how to rid our lives.
What you want or what we want from you is to get out of our lives as much as possible and cut our taxes.
We do not want you to tell us how to live our lives, but you see, he says that he's very proud of this.
He's very he thinks this is what a lot of voters want to hear.
And of certain people, you know, certain Democrats, they do want the government to live their life for them, so to make it as less painful, they think, as it can be.
Quick time out.
More of your phone calls right around the corner.
Don't go away.
Your guiding light to times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, and other things besides what's going on at the Democrat Party.
800-282-2882.
We're just talking about this party and how everybody's just on uh the pins and needles.
The drive-by is a panting away with excitement of Democrat delegates and the Obama people are scared to death over what Bill Clinton is gonna say tonight.
So Brian Williams, anchor, NBC Nightly News spoke with the uh the uh DNC TV correspondent, uh correspondent Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, about Clinton's speech tonight, just now, just this afternoon.
And Brian Williams said, Bill Clinton tonight, Andrew, it'll be interesting to know when that one is loaded in the teleprompter who has read it.
What do you think he is gonna do?
I think it's the late load to the teleprompter.
And I think Mark Penn is back in the game.
So here you've got all these big fat cats, the Obama money people angry that they don't want to pay her debt because it's gonna pay off Mark Penn, you know, the loathed quote unquote political consultant that they think brought race and all sorts of anger into the campaign.
And he's now back in the game helping Bill Clinton, we were told with his speech.
You can't make this up.
Oh, this is just juicy.
This if if this is true, if Bill Clinton went and got Mark Penn out of retirement to help write this speech, and then let everybody know that was happening.
That is another thumb in the eye at Obama because Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Washington, is right.
They hate Mark Penn because they think Mark Penn came up with all the dirt and uh and started all the negative campaigning against uh against the Messiah.
And most of her debt is owed to Mark, I think ten million dollars or more she owes to Mark Penn.
And they hate Penn, and they don't want to help her pay off her debt because he's gonna get most of it.
And so Clinton lets it be known that Mark Penn is back helping write this speech.
And Mark Penn, what does Mark Penn know about foreign policy?
Which is what they want Clinton to talk about.
Here's Carol in Caldwell, Texas.
Carol, thank you for calling.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am.
And I was listening to your commentary this morning, and I got uh an idea of a theme for the Democratic Convention.
What's that?
And I believe that it should be what if God was one of us.
Uh where would this crowd go with that?
I mean, how how how how would they answer that?
Would that answer to the question panic them or well?
I think Nancy Pelosi already thought that he was, and that they would probably all get on on the city.
No, no, my my problem is they already think they've got a God.
They're building a temple to their God from which he's going to speak tomorrow night.
Exactly.
And that's why that should be the theme if he's here already.
I see what you're saying.
We are the ones we've been waiting for, becomes I'm the one you've been waiting for.
What if God were one of us?
Exactly.
Yes.
You know something.
That that is highly creative.
That is that is very good.
I am I am I am always impressed and I applaud creativity by audience members like you.
I thank you.
I think you've been an inspiration to that.
Well, thank you so much.
But can I ask you a question, a personal question?
Sure.
Do I sound okay today?
Do I sound I mean I mean not health-wise, though don't I sound um like that's a good show?
Yeah, you've found it right on.
I mean, especially but you open with it.
Because I'm so distracted, you can't believe how distracted I and I just I wanted to make sure that I was meeting expectations.
Well, um, could I share one other creative thought with you?
Yeah, you're on a roll.
Go ahead.
I have an acronym for Obama.
Um you know what, Snerdley?
Uh I You want to let him take it and then he can and then Yeah, because you you know you never I don't know what your acronym is gonna spell.
It it's just gonna spell out Obama.
And Okay, we're on a 40-second delay here, so we can chance it.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Uh he is the official boneheaded um uh uh agent for messing up America.
The official boneheaded agent for messing up America.
Yeah, you should you know you ought to keep you need to keep the audience waiting for more.
Sometimes you can give them too much.
That's true.
All right.
All right, thank you.
Thank you, Carol.
Appreciate it.
What if God were one of us?
Oh, i it is.
I don't listen to current songs on the radio because I can't hear them.
So there's a new song every day.
Who sings it?
Who sings one uh one if God were one of us?
Is it is a country tune?
A jewel, a pop tune, uh typically chick song.
You know, what what if what if God were one of us?
Well, it still works.
It's a good idea to be funny as it could be.
If I still had my TV show, I would implore uh create a graphic during video coverage of the uh of the whole convention.
What if God were one of us, and then put a picture of Obama as they have published in Halo type light?
Here's uh Boujar in Queens.
Bujart, thank you for waving your next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Rush.
Afternoon.
For taking my call.
Uh remember I called you uh several months ago when I said that New York is gonna be closed.
I mean uh McCain will carry uh New York.
Yes, I do remember you saying that.
Well, I'm gonna make another prognosis.
We're gonna I mean McCain is gonna carry Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey for sure.
McCain's gonna carry Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey for sure.
Based on what, Bujar?
Based on the Reagan Democrats, you know.
I I listened to the speech and uh uh last night and uh firm Clinton supporter, and uh I believe that uh we taught the party a lesson last night.
We we showed them how how the success looks, how creati creativity looks, and uh how the future of America looks, and uh they uh moved the party to the far left, and we the centrists we're gonna make sure that McCain will be elected.
Okay, Bujar.
Now this is it's interesting because to people like me, the Democrat Party has been far left for a long time, and that they're really the only difference between Hillary and Obama is that Hillary has a little bit more experience in not giving away who she is and what she's gonna do.
But in terms of policy, you can't get farther left than both of them.
It's just that Hillary doesn't have as many associations with uh with uh you know you know noted scalawags as Obama does.
But what is it what is it that's causing you Clinton people to all of a sudden see the Democrat Party go in a direction you don't want it to go in when it's been there for a number of years.
Well, uh uh Rush, I beg to death for you know the Clinton record.
He was a centrist and he uh in foreign policy he was uh uh a moderate Republican.
Uh so will be uh uh uh so uh Hillary Clinton would do the same thing.
But the thing is that uh uh it is a matter of fact that uh only Clinton after Clinton brought uh Democratic Party to the center, he won twice.
And also uh uh uh it in England in the election uh Tony uh Tony Blair won.
And you know, it was uh it's uh it was a fact.
Now these people I call them the group of losers, uh uh howard Dean, uh, Gore, my God, uh you know, and the group of losers, they lost the elections.
So just put me on the record that they lost the election.
All right.
Well, we'll we'll see if you're right.
I'm I'm I'm sitting here uh actually I had to duck my head here a moment ago.
And Rush, one more thing, Rush.
Oh, you're watching, okay.
We're gonna we want to we will punish these people in the future elections, not just this one, Rush.
We're gonna punish the bigger.
You're gonna punish the Obama people?
No, no, we're gonna punish whoever is elected with this group four years from now, eight years from now.
We we're gonna hold grudges for that long time to come.
It's gonna be Hillary four years from now if Obama loses.
Well, then Chelsea, you know, people say the year of Clinton's over.
Chelsea uh can we say twenty sixteen?
She'll be thirty-two.
No, she'll she's she'll be older, she'll be old enough to run in twenty sixteen.
The year of Clinton's got a long way to go.
But but look.
Clinton was a centrist Republican In foreign policy.
What stopped Bill Clinton in his tracks?
Look at the cabinet level up.
Look at the Janet Reno's.
Look at the people that made a mess of this nation's born policy.
Republicans don't do that.
The only thing stopped Bill Clinton was the Republican congressional victory in 1994.
Los Angeles Times blog, the top of the ticket.
The Reverend Al Sharpton, not happy with the Clintons.
The Democrat National Convention at Buzz.
This was from yesterday, by the way, with anticipation over Hillary's speech last night and Clinton's speech tonight.
Al Sharpton says that she and her husband cannot afford anything less than an extraordinary effort to help Obama's candidacy.
Beginning this week with an intensified push for party loyalty.
Otherwise, Sharpton warned their reputations within the party once Sterling could be permanently tarnished.
Can damage their legacy in a long run if they don't get a grip pretty quick, Sharpton said to the Los Angeles Times.
I bet that really has them quaking in their boots over at Clinton Central.
Al Sharpton warning Al's smart enough to know what's going to happen here.
By the way, Al, you took a little while to get on board this train.
Don't forget, Al, you were all upset over Biden's comment that finally the Democrats had a clean, articulate black guy.
And you were, you know, you were you you were um you're holding back.
Holding back, Reverend Sharpton, because uh you were a little jealous out there.
You take showers, you're clean guy.
Here's the Democrats going all ape over this new guy that doesn't have any street cred like you do.
So he was late to the uh late to the table as uh as well.
Karen in Mesa, Arizona.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, hi Rush.
So I'm kind of nervous.
But um I just wanted to say that um I forced myself to r watch uh Rush I mean to watch uh Hillary last night, and I I really she drives me crazy when I watch her talk.
I uh about the color of the pantsuit, uh Karen, what do you think of the the pumpkin orange uh pant suit?
Well, you know, I don't know.
I I'm not so into clothes and stuff.
I I Noah I thought it looked nice with the blue background, I guess.
I mean, uh it's memorable.
Let's put it that way.
Orange is always a memorable color.
But it's so glaring.
But anyway, what I thought was interesting was, you know, they said, oh, she was she's out there to throw support behind Barack, but all through the video that they showed in the beginning, it was just showing her campaigning all over again because it was showing all of her stump speeches with all her name behind her and Hillary Hillary Hillary.
And not once did she inject in there I know she hasn't done it often, but she has gone out for Barack lately.
Not once did they put any of those videos with her stumping for Barack with Barack Barack Barack behind her.
That's right.
That's a very good observation.
There was not one scene of Hillary with Barack, you know, arm in arm, yucking it up, looking like friends.
Exactly right.
Right.
And I also thought that, you know, it was the first time I felt, and I I couldn't I can't believe I'm saying this.
First time I felt some respect for Hillary.
Because you know why?
She didn't uh she did kind of step in it, but she did not dwell on victimhood like she always did.
And my attitude is victims get pity, and they don't get respect.
Victims get pity, uh, and I feel sorry for them, and I want to do what I can to help them, but you don't get that sense of I respect these people for what you know, they're good.
But what you get is you you you get respect when you pull yourself out of victimhood when you pull yourself out of constantly complaining about what the situation is around you, and you do something about it.
And only with respect you get equality.
Are you laughing at me?
Only with respect you get equality.
And so anyway, that was I'll let you talk.
I'm sorry.
It's your show.
Thank you.
Now, she she was very crafty, very smart last night in the in that she got away with making it about herself.
She mentioned uh Obama, you know, the appropriate two or three times.
She um but she did not recommend him.
She did not suggest that there's anything about him other than he's the nominee.
Right.
To vote for.
However, she was playing a victim card last night.
The She was doing everything she could to make her supporters feel victimized.
Because they already do.
Most of her supporters are well, a good number.
I don't know if it's most, but I'd say it's well over half of her supporters are women.
Feminist women who were serious about wanting to see a woman president in their lifetime.
And what happened in this campaign was a microcosm of what's happened to these kinds of women their whole lives.
They have they have accepted the promises of feminism.
They have abandoned family uh considerations, most of them put off family and relationships, and they went full bore into corporate America, started wearing a pantsuits and tried to get where they wanted to go, crushed the black ceiling or the uh the uh glass ceiling.
And what happened?
As it always happened in their lives, some young, good looking, charismatic guy applies for a job in the office, and he gets promoted over these women who've been there and they doing it following the rules as they as they believe, because he's better looking, because he's younger, because he's a man, and lo and behold, it happened to him in this campaign.
The same thing in in except the difference is this guy isn't qualified.
This guy's not qualified, and the Hillary people think that she is because as you know, when she says, I've spent 35 years of my life fighting for child care.
We still don't have it.
So she's an admitting a failure, but it's the fight that she wants to tell people that she's engaged in.
So that equals experience.
And now all of a sudden, and this, by the way, don't forget this either.
This was hers.
This was to be a coination.
This wasn't supposed to be a contest.
That makes this even more insulting.
Who is this young whippersnapper out of Chicago?
Nobody ever heard of, one speech in 2004, 140 days in the Senate.
They can make it clean and articulate, and all of a sudden, Hillary is nothing than an old hag again, like all these women have been treated their lives.
You can understand how mad they are.
And and and she and they they do feel like they've been victimized by this.
And she was playing that up last night by reminding them who they are, what they voted for, all that she's accomplished, and how shafted they have all been by this process.
Yeah, I I guess I see that now.
I I I I guess I was.
She wasn't saying I'm sorry.
She wasn't saying I'm sorry for myself.
She also, in the beginning, she said, I'm a proud mother, I'm a proud daughter, I'm a proud Democrat.
She didn't say I'm a proud wife.
Oh, how could she?
That would have been a that'd be a laugh line, and nobody would believe it.
That was funny.
But yeah, so anyway, I just want to put in my two cents and thanks so much for all you do.
You're you're you're you're uh more than welcome.
It's great to have you uh on the phone.
I'm still waiting for the surprise phone call.
You know, sometimes these conventions, they have surprise phone calls with a big video screen.
I'm still waiting for the surprise phone call from John Edwards from a bathroom in a hotel endorsing Obama.
We'll be right back after this, my friends.
Don't go away.
New York Times today.
Story by Jackie Calms.
Maybe it's calmness.
For Obama, a challenge to clarify his message.
And I'm reading all these stories about Obama, and I'm I the I honestly have not gotten the impression that this is a Barack Obama convention so far.
We've been through two nights of this convention, and I'll be damned if I have even gotten the message that this convention's about Obama.
He didn't have control over this convention.
This has been a convention about the Clintons.
I don't even remember who spoke Monday night.
This is this is how unmemorable this is.
This is last time it's two years ago.
Who were the big speakers on Monday night of the Democrat convention?
Who were they?
Do you remember Brian?
Snerdley, stop screaming for who were the big speakers Monday night of the Democrat Convention.
I can't even remember.
On the opening night, who who Oh, yeah, yeah, yo, yeah.
See.
And Ted Kennedy is exactly right.
And even with Michelle, I just don't get the impression this is about Obama, and now here comes the story.
A challenge to clarify his message.
Well, I know he'd been running on well, but but that's the point.
I thought he's the Messiah.
We don't need a message.
I mean, he's this sweeping transformational post post racial uh uh never before seen an American politics kind of guy.
The message is irrelevant.
It's his charisma and the power of his personality.
And I know all that's blown over.
But I'm just the the drive-bys do not get the irony of the absolute worthlessness of their reporting on this guy.
They had him built up as somebody that was not going to be held to the usual standards of American politics because he so transcended American politics.
And now he has a chance to clarify his message.
If you've got to clarify it means it's muddled, it means it hasn't gotten out.
And if the message hasn't gotten out of it's muddled, then what has there been to so idolize and love about Obama?
What it w for 18 months has been.
All of a sudden now he's got to clarify his message.
We've been sold a bill of goods here, or the Democrats have.
Uh, and what is Obama's message on the economy besides tax increases?
What is it?
Well, he's gonna he he's in case you missed it, the Wall Street Journal has a story, he's gonna propose middle class tax cuts in his speech tomorrow.
Just like the one you all got in the early 90s, right?
Remember Bill Clinton, yeah, I worked, I haven't ever, ever worked as hard as I've worked on trying to get that middle class tax cut.
But when I got in there and I saw how how Bush had totally blown up this economy, it's worse than I even knew, folks.
I just we just cannot find a way for that middle class tax cut.
Sometimes the dirty little secret is there have been so many middle class tax cuts that there's not much to cut.
I'll tell you people this too.
If this guy gets his way, one thing that's gonna go up, everybody's talking about well, he's only gonna take the top income tax rate back up to what Clinton had at 39.6%.
Uh uh uh oh.
He is going to end the ceiling on uh FICA taxes.
And certain people, you know, he thinks he thinks uh 250,000 is rich.
Certain people above 250,000, if if Obama gets his way, you could see an effective combined federal tax rate of 55%.
By the time you add your federal income tax and social security and Medicare, you could be paying as high as 55 to 60 percent.
And you might probably not gonna get any increased benefits, of course not, because the system's broke.
You're not gonna get any increased benefits out of it.
It's gonna be it's gonna be used to to um pay current retirees and so forth.
But think of that thing of 55 to 60 percent combined rate.
You'll never see it written anywhere, but you add it up, and that's uh what it'll be.
If he if he takes the f the ceiling away from the uh I think right now, what is it, 102,000?
After you've earned 102, you don't pay anymore.
He wants to take that away.
Like Medicare has no ceiling.
Your employer pays one and a half percent, you pay one and a half percent.
Total you pay three, and those of us who are uh self-employed, you don't even want to know.
Here's who's next.
This is uh Dawn in Athens, Georgia.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
This is a great honor.
Thank you very much.
I wanted to ask you with this temple the Democrats have built for Obama's speech.
Are they in danger of going overboard as they did with the Wellstone Memorial?
I wondered what your thoughts were.
Uh the Wellstone Memorial went overboard because of what happened there, not because of where it was.
It went overboard because of what was said there.
Uh the Republicans' colleagues of Wellstone showed up and were booed out of the place.
The Democrats that spoke that did not end up being a memorial to Wellstone.
It was a celebration of liberalism and socialism in in Wellstone's name and a trashing of conservatives.
And it was a big plea for tax increases and so forth, and it was arrogant.
The setting for th this is this uh this Greek temple, it's gonna depend what's said there.
It's gonna depend on the lighting, it's gonna depend on how this looks.
Uh if get there, and by the way, I I mentioned earlier some people in the Obama campaign that wish they could not do this, because this this 75,000 people, and by the way, all of the the the the general public's gonna be up in the nosebleed seats.
They're gonna be as if if any protesters get in there, nobody will hear them or see them or uh or what have you.
So I mean the the Messiah and his delegates, high rollers, they're gonna be the ones closest to him, except on stage, they're gonna have some miners, some firemen, uh blue-collar type workers, probably with you know, signs that say I'm from Pennsylvania, some such thing.
Uh uh no archangels yet.
I mean, we don't know what's going to come out of the sky.
And we don't know, you know, if they do halo lighting, I mean, they're gonna have one of those sky cams.
Like they do at football games, it'll be zipping all over the place.
So it's it remains to be seen.
It could backfire, is the bottom line, but we won't know till it happens.
Speaking, uh, ladies and of uh of of backfiring and and uh the all that the convention and the hot water that this convention has found itself in.
Have you taken my advice?
Have you gone to Foreverhotwater.com and looked at how the Renee Tankless water heater looks?
Have you done it?
You'll be even if you if you don't want to get one at some point until sometime down the road, you'll be fascinated at how this works.
But I guarantee if you go to Forever Hotwater.com and look at how this works and how small it is compared to the to the tank that you've got now, and you look at how much money you will save uh in operating this thing.
Like if you're if your tank heater now is older than seven years old, it's a time bomb waiting to break down on you, crack, blow up, or what have you.
This really is the smart way to heat water in your house.
It's there when you turn it on, no matter how many sources of hot water you are using.
Showers, dishwashers, you know, if you're if you're hosing down your computer, doesn't matter.
You will have hot water when you turn it on, and this thing is amazing.
Show you how.
It'll save you money and how it works at foreverhotwater.com.
Uh Benita Springs, Florida.
This is uh Paul, and I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Excellent to outstanding sometimes.
Very well.
I I wanted to take a quick minute and see what your thought was on a different take on Bill Clinton's XY analogy.
Most people, you know, have pretty much come to the conclusion that he's referring to Obama McCain, but I have a little different take on it, and that is I don't think the Clintons have given up on Hillary for this year yet.
And since the roll call is today, I think that there was another subtle interpretation that could be made of who would you choose Hillary or Obama.
You think the XY comparison was Hillary and Obama, his guy is the uh well, but wait.
The problem is that both Hillary and Obama agree on everything.
And Clinton's analogy said, okay, got Canada X, Embley, and you believe everything Canada says, but can't get anything of it done.
And you got a candidate why can't it?
Why you believe half of what candidate Y says.
Uh do you think that there's a 50% difference in perception of policy of the Democratic delegates between Obama and Hillary?
I think Hillary wants to win this year.
And I think that if the Democrats were smart, I think the election's over.
I think Obama's finished.
And I also think it's gonna be a landslide for McCain if Obama continues.
I think if they were smart in this roll call, they would go for Clinton and overturn the whole thing.
I don't think the Clintons have given up.
I think there's a subtle message to the delegates.
Maybe so.
They may not have given up, but if that happens tonight, if that happens tonight, I mean I would love to see it, but I don't know.
Do you people really want Hillary to be the nominee after all of this?
Folks, we gotta get out of here, but there's always tomorrow.
Twenty one hours is not all that long a time, and we'll be back revved up, ready to do it all again.
