Time Text
No, I still haven't heard.
I was promised an hour and six minutes ago that I would hear what I haven't heard, and I'm not going nuts over it.
You can ask the staff here.
It is what it is.
Greetings, welcome back.
This is Rush Limbaugh.
You are listening to the most listened to Radio Talk Show in America.
You have made it the most listened to radio talk show in America.
It's Friday, and you know what that's live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
And here's your telephone number, 800 282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIB net com.
I want to um somebody just told me 40,000 people showed up at the McCain Palin rally in Cedarburg, Wisconsin today.
And I'm I'm I'm double checking that because I didn't get a source along with that.
And the Drudge Page has a figure of 40 million watching their show last night at the convention.
I want to make sure somebody's not uh confusing the two, but if that's true, if 40,000 people showed up to see McCain and Palin, why those those are Obama numbers, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll track it down.
Earlier in the program, I mentioned I also had been told via a friend in an email that the Code Pink protesters inside the convention hall last night had been given credentials by the media.
I was told it was MSNBC, and I still don't know about that.
But a Code Pink protester who identified herself to the Cybercast News Service.com as Ray Abelea, R.A. a female, used a media credential to disrupt a pro-life event held during the Republican National Convention.
Now, this is not the actual convention itself, but if she's this woman stormed the stage when Phyllis Schlafley was speaking at the ProLife Convention, it was it was it was Code Pink people in the convention last night during McCain's speech, and if they got their credentials from a media outlet for the pro-life thing, it's reasonable to um conclude that they also got their credentials last night from a uh media source, which of course would not surprise us at all.
Live science.com intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting, according to a study that sheds new light on brain food.
This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of an increasingly sedentary society in which people still have to think.
Now we're a sedentary society, we still have to think sometimes.
Uh researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory attention and vigilance tests on a computer.
The scientists had determined beforehand that the thinking sessions consumed only three calories more than resting.
After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased.
Though the study involved very small number of participants, the results were stark.
The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories than the couch potatoes.
So if you're sitting at your computer in couch potato fashion, and you're engaged in something on the computer, when you fit, you go get something to eat, you finish something to eat.
Fine.
If your couch potato, and then you go get something to eat, you will burn, or you will eat more calories than the couch potato.
The person just vegging there, sponging up what's on television.
Those who had summarized a text consume 203 more calories than the resting group.
Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work causes much bigger fluctuations in glucose levels than does rest periods, owing to the stress of thinking, and a glucose level is actually one of the major contributors to uh to hunger.
From uh, let's see what is this.
Um the New Orleans website, NOLA.com.
This is New Orleans Times Picky You, and even an abstention.
Governor Bobby Gindle has emerged as a star of the Republican National Convention.
His in-command handling of Hurricane Gustav has become a point of pride for a party that feared another Hurricane Katrina could wreck their week in Minnesota.
Thank God for Bobby Gindle, said U.S. Representative Heather Wilson of New Mexico, issuing what has become something like a salutation at the convention this week.
Now, look, folks, this is all well and good.
This is cool.
Gendal did do a great job.
I had no doubt that he would.
But this is a this is a classic illustration.
The Republicans up there worried that a natural disaster could be blamed on them.
Now, why do you sit there and be all defensive and then prepare for that and let that happen?
Natural disasters cannot be blamed on anything other than nature.
But somehow Republicans have bought the notion that the Democrats and the media are going to blame natural disasters on them, and therefore that people are just going to accept that it's people are not that stupid.
And you want but you want to hear stupid from the gossip page at the New York Daily News Today, Rush and Malloy.
Richard Branson, as you know as an environmentalist wacky, owns Virgin Airlines.
And he's he's pointed out here that 100% of all profits from all of his airlines are reinvested into finding a cleaner fuel solution.
He said we had an experimental 747 that ran on coconut oil.
Now I happen to see the flight test of this.
I saw video of it.
They didn't put anybody on the airplane.
It was a 747.
One of the four engines ran on coconut oil.
It was hailed.
It was hailed as a mighty and a brilliant first step toward nondependence on oil and jet A, which is kerosene.
That was wonderful.
One engine of a 747 from I think London to Paris, which is not a big haul.
Might have been somewhere a little longer than that, but it was not a typical 747, you know, 12-hour flight.
One engine out of the four used coconut oil.
Do you know how many coconuts it took to generate fuel for that little trip?
Take a wild guess.
How many coconuts had to be zapped for the coconut oil to provide enough fuel for Richard Branson's 747, one engine to go from London to Paris.
Take a guess.
Take a wild guess.
150,000 coconuts.
And here's Richard Branson talking about it.
Richard Branson said, we had an experimental 747, it ran on coconut oil, but it took 150,000 coconuts for one flight.
So now we're looking at developing fuel from algae.
A hundred and fifty thousand coconuts, and these people are praised as the leaders and the foresight thinkers that will release us from the from the clutches of those evil Middle Eastern oil shakes.
150,000 coconuts for enough fuel for one measly engine on a short little two-hour flight.
You know, I just it just amazing me.
The people in our culture, society, whatever they get that are hailed as the great thinkers and uh people that are the have all this great foresight into the future.
150,000 coconuts, folks, for one engine of coconut oil.
When I hear about 150,000 coconuts, I think of how many pina coladas you could make.
I think of how much popcorn you could pop in coconut oil.
I do not think.
Gee, I wonder how far we could get in a 747 on one engine with 150,000 coconuts.
Ladies and gentlemen, on this program, as you know, if you are a regular listener, we've spent quite a few times, um, not a lot, but when warranted, we have discussed the New York Times columnist David Brooks, who is uh the New York Times conservative columnist, which means he's not really conservative.
He used to be, but he has moderated his tone, and we have chronicled the um degree to which his tone and his uh conservatism has been moderated over the years.
Now, it was just this week at the convention, that uh Mr. Brooks referred to my humor as what a biting and uh mean spirit.
I didn't use those words, but that's what he meant.
As compared to Sarah Palin's humor, uh, which is, you know, really funny.
Uh mine is biting and whatever.
Now, one of the things that Mr. Brooks has also pointed uh done as as a as a columnist for the Times is really he is dumped on traditional conservatives and said that the reform Republican movement is led by moderates and should be led by moderates like Senator McCain and and others uh who are no real identity to to mainstream conservatism.
Now keep that in mind as I uh read to you a passage from David Brooks's piece today entitled A Glimpse of the New.
In those 40 minutes, he writes, the forces of reform republicanism took control, at least for a time.
Republicans started talking about Sarah Palin, Bobby Gendal, and a brighter future for their party.
Now, Mr. Brooks, with all due respect, Sarah Palin's speech was 40 minutes of conservatism.
There might have been, okay, uh 35 minutes of conservatism, 37 minutes of conservatism, three minutes of populism.
Bobby Gindle?
What did he do that makes you think he's a moderate?
Ask for release of fuel from the strategic oil reserve.
Bobby Gendal and Sarah Palin are rock ribbed conservatives.
And here's David Brooks saying, Well, this is great.
We're forces of reform republicalism took control.
If this is reform republicanism, then it means that the conservative wing of the party has reasserted itself and taken it back over, and that I am the new Maverick.
I just wanted to point this out.
We've talked many times over how members of our conservative intelligentsia media media seem to be abandoning conservatism in favor of some broad-based coalition of mush that is hardly identifiable as conservatism, and all of a sudden Palin and Jindel represent Republican reformism.
Okay, that means Republican Party is reforming back to its Reagan roots.
Here's April in Louisville, North Carolina.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's actually Louisville.
Megan Diddles, longtime listener, my father who's probably listening.
He's a truck driver.
Um for 20 years now, he's probably listening, so he's a major fan of yours as well.
Thank you.
I just need some advice here today.
Um the school systems.
Now, we all know that public school teachers are pretty much in the back pockets of the liberal politicians.
Um, that's that's who they cheer for, and that's who they want, and they've got their unions and all that.
But I'm 34 and 35, or my husband's 35, and my kids are uh fifth graders and seventh graders.
And I remember back in the 80s when we went to school, you couldn't convince a teacher to tell you what political party they like.
You couldn't tell get them to tell you who they were voting for.
However, my kids with this election cycle have been inundated with disinformation freely given by their teachers and pushed on them.
Uh you know, and of course they're supporting Barack Obama and being told that they have to.
Happening all over the country, not just Louisville, North Carolina.
The uh I've told the story here about parents are being told they have to go in and watch Al Gorn's Al Gore's movie with their sophomore and junior in high school kids, or the kids might have uh grade punishment.
Right.
That what's the look at the public school education exists for the purposes of protecting teachers' unions who contribute and vote religiously democratic, and in exchange, you know, the the standards that we're people have been trying to impose on teachers and so forth, and test results for students, have uh taken second place.
Also, the uh people that go into teaching uh you can't deny that uh people have political desires and identities and and vested interest and outcomes.
So the public school system is is uh is a liberal project that is divine to create as uh designed to create as money as little liberals as uh as as possible.
McCain addressed this last night, by the way, in his acceptance speech.
He said, Look, teachers that can't do the job, we're gonna identify them, and we're gonna find them a new line of work.
And the place erupted.
Uh it had McCain's speech last night had some uh some core values.
I when you said that when you were in school and you're 35 and you couldn't remember teachers identifying their party, I I do remember that.
I was in grade school in the in the late 50s and junior ha and has scrubbed through the 60s.
And I knew in history, in history, I knew who the teachers were, I knew which ones were Democrats by which past presidents they lauded.
I mean I mean, and I one of my uh one of my early junior high history teachers, who was one of the best in the school, just loved Wendell Wilkie.
We we got I remember we got two weeks on how Wendell Wilkie got shafted in the Harry Truman race in the pr the primaries.
Um we we knew, but they didn't preach to us.
I mean, they they they these history teachers kept it in context.
One teacher was used to be the city manager of my nut, what is it, North Dakota or South Dakota?
He'd come down to to uh to teach history, is obviously uh uh a big Democrat, but it was not any anything like an indoctrination.
Uh and besides, this is the great thing.
Whenever this stuff happened, I went home and I told my dad about it, and he wouldn't do anything about it.
The teachers were always right.
The authorities, the authority figure, the prince was always right.
If they said I was misbehaving, I was misbehaving.
You know, he the authority figure was always right.
But if I went home and said, hey, Dad, who's Wendell Wilkie?
I heard the second time today that Wendell Wilkie got shafted, so I got the truth about Wendell Wilkie.
So always, whatever, whatever garbage that they tried to stuff down my throat in the school, I was I was always fortunate to go home and get it corrected.
Because my I was fortunate my parents were they were educated and they they had passionate desires about these things and opinions and so forth.
I think a lot of people don't have that today.
A lot of a lot of uh people are not well, we know what American history is today.
American history begins with Bill Clinton's president presidency.
And to the extent that there was and maybe JFK, to the extent that there have been Republican like Abraham Lincoln, in a survey John Silber did for Boston University, found that the uh the most widely used two textbooks in American history, this is back in the nineties, but back then the most widely used American history textbooks had a maximum of two references to Abraham, or two paragraph uh references to Abraham Lincoln.
So it it isn't what it is today.
This is why what happens in the home is so crucial.
I'm sure, April, that you and your husband uh are doing the best you can in trying to um detox your students that come home thinking that Obama is the second coming.
Here's John and in uh our guy, Argyle, Texas.
John, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Rush, first I got to thank my wife of thirty-two wonderful glorious years for giving me rush 24-7 for my birthday.
That's a thoughtful, uh very affordable gift, absolutely right.
Sarah Palin has done for politics, I believe, the same as Tiger Woods did for golf, went through barriers, set the bar to a new height, and redefined the playing field.
I think she has sent a shockwave across this country.
And brought a lot more people to it, by the way.
Like Tiger did to golf.
I'm not a golfer.
When Tiger Woods plays, even I watch.
He he he he plays because this is what he does.
And Sarah Palin has come to this position at this time because she stands for what she said she would do, and she's going to do what she says she would.
I like that observation.
But I have a quick question for you.
You say you don't play golf.
No, sir.
When you watch Tiger play, do you want to go pick it up?
I mean, it looks fun.
Yes, I I do, but I have other hobbies.
Yeah, well, let me give you some advice.
Don't do it.
When you look at the absolute best, do what they do.
One of the great characteristics of the greats is that they make it look easy.
And I guarantee you, don't if you have other hobbies that you like, don't do it.
Especially you've been married 35 years, so you have a certain you gotta play, you gotta start this game young or have a lot of time to stick with it.
This is a game that they ought to make prisoners play as a form of their punishment.
We will be back.
We will continue after this.
Okay, back to the audio sound by ten.
It was last week during the Obama uh coronation that the uh Andrea Mitchell, NBC News watching them, went on MSNBC and told people that uh she'd gotten back to the hotel at two in the morning after Obama's big uh coronation.
And she and she'd ordered some tea from room service, and a room service waiter brought it up as a woman, and uh Andrew Mitchell said, Hey, you know, uh woman did not like Obama's speech.
It's too mean to McCain.
It was unwarranted.
Why why why be so mean to McCain?
She was made uncomfortable by it.
And uh Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, was warning her guest, some Obamaite.
And this Obama is, oh, we'll track that woman down, we'll set this straight.
Don't worry about that.
Well, we'll good.
Well, it's happened again here.
Uh this morning on MSNBC's morning show, and Ria Mitchell, NBC News, watching them, talking to uh Obama's communications director, Joe Gibbs.
I was getting a coffee earlier, and a woman came up to me and just challenged me.
Why are you people so mean to Sarah Palin?
I said, Wait a second, we're talking about the bloggers.
We're not talking about anything that I have written or anyone else's written.
But she was a really angry woman, angry.
This was at a Starbucks.
Look, uh I've seen the focus grouping stuff from her speech, and it doesn't play outside of that hall.
It didn't play well outside the because it seemed harsh and it seemed negative.
All right, now here's here's Andrew Mitchell.
I don't know.
This sounds like a uh a patterned approach.
I run into a woman, an average American woman, Starbucks or in a hotel.
Uh sounds like a formulation she has of asking a question.
It could actually happen.
But the bottom line is this guy Gibbs, she's trying to warn him, you know what, you got people outside there think you're just being way too mean.
Oh, no, our focus group David said this didn't play outside the hall.
We and our guard focus group data said if people outside the hall think she's a BIH.
I mean, he didn't say that, obviously, but it didn't play outside the hall.
No, no, no.
They're in denial.
By the way, you know where Obama's gonna be tonight?
He's going to Bon Jovi's house.
Where Bonjo in New Jersey, where Bon Jovi is going to do a little mini concert fundraiser for Obama.
Moving forward on the uh rock star theme.
Then also this morning on DNC TV, the anchor at Tamron Hall interviewed former ambassador and Obama foreign policy advisor Wendy Sherman.
Now, Wendy Sherman is uh is is one of Madeline Albright's uh uh associates in Madeline Albright's, you know, consultancy on polity.
And Tamron Hall said, uh, is it possible to be a quick study on foreign policy?
Well, Sarah Palindman, especially when you're facing up against somebody that I think everybody would agree is very experienced on the topic, Joe Biden.
She probably can get the first talking point memorized and ready to go.
She's a bright, capable person.
Uh, but to understand the complexities in this world takes time.
Uh, it takes a great deal of understanding, uh, some experience, and Governor Palin comes to the table with none of the above.
I've heard Republicans say she understands the world because Alaska is the closest state to Russia.
Well, geography is not enough.
Experience, understanding.
Uh being on the national stage as Senator Obama has been for the last few years, is much more crucial uh to moving forward.
Well, I'll tell you, I I have heard everything now.
I have just She says it.
I know she says this with a straight face.
Um get the first talking point right, but after that, this is a woman, Madeline Albright hadn't been right about anything and I don't know how long.
Madeline Albright of North Korea Faye and Madeline Albright geez, I I think all these years of the campaign trail qualifies Obama much, much more.
Obama doesn't even know how to pronounce words.
What did he call some play?
I can't find it.
I've got too many stacks.
He called.
Let me see, where is it?
Hang on, folks, I've got some.
Yeah, the he went to Penn State called the Niddley Lions.
Barack Obama has put the Pennsylvania Republican delegates here in stitches over getting the name of the Penn State University mascot wrong.
Not uh what you want to be doing in the state where the Republican is hammering you hard for being out of touch.
Obama during a stop in Pennsylvania yesterday called them the Niddily Lions as he called on somebody during a question and answer session.
Of course it's the nittany.
But this guy, he'd been on the campaign trail.
He uh he knows of 57 states.
I wonder what Wendy Sherman thinks about that.
Fifty-seven, maybe even fifty-eight states.
Let's move on to Mario the Pious, Mike.
This is uh audio soundbite number ten.
Uh this fr from one messiah of the past to a current Messiah.
Last night on Larry King Alive, the uh the former uh uh Messiah, Mario the Pious, who also had these great expectations because of one speech at a convention, just as like what is driving uh Obama, had this to say about Senator McCain.
He's many things, McCain, but he is not change.
Obama is.
He's a new kind of intelligence.
He's young, he's bright.
He has a different attitude toward the world, a more cosmopolitan attitude.
He's all the things we need.
Most of all, those 80% of the American people are right.
We need change.
These people are not change.
Whatever else they are, they're not change.
Sarah Palin is the change that very Obama has been talking about.
These guys just political hacks, just political hacks.
Right, 58 states, Nidaly Lions, uh, and any other number of gaps that we have chronicled on this uh program.
And this this business is about a more cosmopolitan attitude.
They made fun of him for that at the Republican convention.
You know that Alaska's not cosmopolitan enough for uh for Obama.
This is this is the typical arrogant condescension of the left.
And it's got uh warning, well, I'll just tell you this, it's going to come back and bite them.
This is this is almost the Wellstone memorial uh all over again.
I guess foreign policy.
You know what?
I guess I guess you do get a lot of that from your years and years of community organizing in Chicago.
And I guess when you go teach at the Chicago University of Chicago law school about race and gender and agitation, so you get a lot of foreign policy experience there.
And I guess when you admit that the surge worked better than anybody ever dreamed it would, that you would still oppose it.
I guess that qualifies you as uniquely brilliant on foreign policy.
Here's Canon St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Russ, you're talking earlier about the job losses.
First thought on that was it's gas prices.
I'll bet you 95% of these job losses can be traced back to the price of gas.
Airline industry, auto industry, boat industry, you name it.
I just had a nephew who was laid off from a boat manufacturer because people weren't buying boats because it was too expensive to put the gas in them.
And uh that's crazy.
I mean, people can buy boats, you're just tightwads if they're not gonna put the gas in it.
I mean, if you if you if you can't afford the gas, you shouldn't buy the boat.
Right.
And that's what a lot of people are doing.
I guess you're right.
Well, there's don't for look it, don't forget all the media layoffs.
Right.
I mean, there have been tons in this last quarter, tons of newspaper and television journalist layoffs.
And that's not because of gas, that's just because of poor performing businesses.
You know, and and Obama loves Europe, the European style of government.
How much is gas in Europe?
Well, but wait, Obama's not concerned about the price of gas.
He's only concerned about how quickly it rose.
No, but people in the United States are, and it's a simple simple thing.
You want $2 a gallon gas, or you want $8 a gallon gas.
And you vote for Democrats, you're gonna get $8 a gallon gas.
That's pretty simple.
You're and you're and you're supposed to accept it with a smile, too, because they're doing it for you.
Appreciate the call, Ken.
Thanks very much.
Speaking of prices, speaking of energy prices.
Have you yet taken my advice and gone to the forever.com website to look at the Renai Tankless Water Heater and how it works?
I mean, aside from, you know, what do you even get one or not.
You ought to look at how it works.
When they first came here to explain to me what a tankless water heater was, I couldn't understand the technology.
I mean, they did a good job of explaining it, but I couldn't grasp, okay, you turn it on the water's hot, but there's no tank heating water.
How does that happen?
Well, I went to ForeverHotwater.com, did some searches, found out how it happens, and I found out how it saves people a lot of money at the same time, and how it provides hot water for as many people in your house as need it for as long as they need it.
It really is striking.
And as such, since you're not heating up a lot of water in a tank, you're not wasting a lot of money, and you're also not buying something that's going to wear out in a bunch of years, and perhaps even Springer League or blow up on you, the old traditional tank water heater.
Get your curiosity up, go visit, especially if you are one, if you're remodeling your house, or even perhaps building one.
You might want to look at the Renee Tankless Water Heater.
Go to ForeverHotwater.com, see how it works and how much money you could save every month.
We got Obama and his mispronunciation of the mascot of Penn State University.
We've looped it three times.
Penn State right here.
Niddley Lions.
Penn State right here.
Niddley Lions.
Penn State right here.
Niddley Lions.
Penn State Nidley Lyons as identified by the Messiah.
Have you heard, ladies and gentlemen, of the murder rate in Chicago over the summer?
Let me tell you this.
An estimated 125 people were shot and killed over the summer in Chicago.
That's nearly double the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq over the same period.
Now, since Obama now claims to understand the surge's success in Iraq, will he try it in his hometown?
Where murders in Chicago exceed troop deaths in Iraq.
Foreign policy, domestic policy, how does Obama stack up?
Very poorly.
More people where he lives shot dead than in Iraq.
Chicago, the new Anbar province.
Barbara Boxer has called Sarah Palin an extremist.
I love it.
I hope these liberals keep dumping on her.
Senator Barbara Boxer said Sarah Palin's acceptance speech was laced with ridicule and called the Alaska governor an extremist.
She can throw a very strong punch, a very sarcastic punch, said to Boxer, who was meeting with local transportation officials.
Palin, the first woman ever on the ticket, joked about being a hockey mom and belittled Democrat nominee Obama as a community organizer during her speech.
And how about this?
I didn't mention this because it slipped my mind.
Over the week on Sunday, the New York Post had a picture of Charlie Wrangle, who is the Democrat chairman of the Ways and Means Committee from Harlem.
Apparently, Charlie has this casita, which is an investment property down at a at a uh lavish uh Dominican Republic resort area.
And they caught him asleep in a in a in a tacky little uh uh aloha shirt and blue swim trucks, and he just sprawled out on a little little beach chair and both arms on the side, dragging on the beach, and he just it looked like a whale.
A beach whale just could just caught dead sleeping.
The the picture was on the cover and it accompanied a story about how he's not reporting income from this place.
On his financial disclosure forms.
Of course, they try to dump it off on the fact that the guy that does his reporting goofed up and so forth.
New York Times, what is this, Friday?
Five days later, the New York Times gets on to the story.
Representative Charles B. Wrangle has earned more than 75,000 in rental income from a casita he has owned in the Dominican Republic since 1988.
But he never reported it on his federal or state tax returns, according to a lawyer for the Congressman and documents from the resort.
Charlie Wrangle, as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, writes the federal tax code.
Now, here's the and of course uh It's all news to Charlie.
He didn't the first he'd heard of it.
That was all news that here's the thing about this.
This is exactly what Ted Stevens was investigated for and indicted for.
Graft contributions from lobbyists and supporters.
75 grands is exactly why they've indicted Ted Stevens.
Charlie Wrangle.
Oh, Charlie didn't know about it.
He didn't know it.
First he's heard of it.
He's just a great public servant.
And uh just trying to get a little why would you begrudge Charlie a chance to spend some time in the sun getting ready for the Democratic convention?
Why, it's tough out there.
Here's uh Hans in Boone, North Carolina.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Well, then why is the call still up there?
Hey, we lost that call.
They tell me they lost the call after I introduced the call.
Here's George in Tempe, Arizona.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
As a conservative, I believe that John McCain's election would destroy the Republican Party because he never defended our party when Democrats would say things like conservatives are cutting the budget so much that old people would be forced to eat dog food.
And that's why I voted for uh Romney in the Arizona primaries.
However, when he picked uh Palin, that changed me, uh that changed my mind.
And I feel he gave us a gift.
I feel he gave us a female Ronald Reagan.
And the reason I say I compare it to Ronald Reagan is because I was amazed in after his speech Wednesday that David Brooks basically listened to Sarah Palin say a speech that you know basically would have come out of your mouth, you know, castigated you as being a meanie in a sense, but but but praised Palin's speech, and and that's what really amazed me.
She can say things that you know you say and that we a lot of us believe, but out of her mouth, it seems like people that are against us in in many areas uh all of a sudden are saying, wow, this woman is really something.
And and I think the conservative cause has been elevated so much by McCain, it's amazing.
And and he could have chosen Liebeman or Tom Ridge, but you know what I mean.
No, he couldn't have.
He wanted to, but he couldn't have.
He couldn't have, he wouldn't be where he is, he wouldn't have a prayer.
He would not have united that convention if he'd have nominated Lieberton a ridge.
I guarantee that convention would have tried to stop it.
That it would have been an entirely different convention.
And it would it would it would have not been a pleasant sight to see.
Well, it would have been a pleasant sight to see, but it wouldn't.
He did the good, he did the right thing.
I uh I he is the Palin has United Party.
The reason why she can get away with saying these things, she's an elected Republican.
She's you know, these are the kind of things you want elected Republicans to say.
We haven't had one saying these kind of things in many, many moons.
And it's uh it's it's about time.
And this is this energy there, but he has the upbeat at it, it's well deserved.
