Time Text
And we are back.
Great to have you here, ladies and gentlemen.
It's El Rushbow, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all concern, maha-rushy.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Looking forward to chatting with more of you people.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address lrushbow at eibnet.com.
President Obama, after his meeting with Representative John Boehner and other Republican.
Starting again, President Obama, after his meeting with John Boehner and other Republican leaders up on Capitol Hill in a hallway.
I recognize that we're not going to get 100% of support, but I think everybody there felt good about that that I was willing to explain how we put the package together, how we were thinking about it, and that we continue to welcome some good ideas.
It's getting frustrating.
I don't know.
I don't know how confident he sounds there.
He's going to get this.
He can get this passed without John Boehner.
He can get this passed without a single Republican vote.
He doesn't want that.
He wants Republican cover.
Folks, I'm just going to ask you one more time if this bill is so dynamic and if it's so wonderful, it's so miraculous.
If this is going to bring about all the hope and change, if this is going to bring back all the jobs that have been lost, all the value in the stock market, all the value in your homes that have been lost, why doesn't he want sole credit for it?
Do you realize that if his stimulus bill would do all of that, he would welcome no Republican signatures on board this thing?
He could finish off the Republican Party forever if he thought this bill was going to do all that.
But he knows this bill won't do any of that.
And that's why he wants cover.
He's trying to co-opt the Republicans.
He wants them to take some of the heat here.
1993, Bill Clinton's first budget, not one Republican vote.
And it led, that was one of the many ingredients that led to the Republicans taking the House back for the first time in 40 years in the campaign of 1994.
John Boehner has said, we're going to do everything we can to work with the president.
It is my understanding that a gag order has gone out on Capitol Hill from Republican leaders to the rank and file that they are not to speak critically of President Obama.
They can speak critically of the package.
They can speak critically of the legislation.
But there is a gag order on any criticism of President Obama.
I cannot say that this is 125% fact.
I cannot say this with ontological certitude, but I have heard it from a couple of different sources that this quote-unquote gag order exists.
Now, Boehner has put out a press release, 20 facts about the Democrats stimulus package.
Let me just go through some of these that Boehner has put out.
And these are the result of people who've read the legislation.
The $825 billion package will exceed more than $1.1 trillion when adding in the interest between 2009 and 2019 to pay for it.
It's $300 billion plus something.
In addition, you know the old saw folks back.
I remember back in the 80s when the Reagan deficits were the monster.
The Reagan deficits, the annual budget deficits of $400 billion or whatever they were.
The Democrats were just screaming bloody murder.
And one of the arguments the Democrats used back then was: well, you know, if we're going to borrow all this money and we're going to have all these deficits, that's money that's not going to be available in the private sector.
Well, they were right.
But the Reagan plan dealt with that by keeping a lot of money in the private sector in the hands of people who build the economy, i.e., us.
What percentage?
I give you a little pop quiz.
What percentage of economic percentage of GDP is American consumerism?
Does the American people buying, selling, driving, flying, hotels, all the American people going about their lives?
What percentage of the GDP, what percentage of the economy?
70% is the exact number.
70%.
The other 30% would be the defense program, the government, you know, building airplanes and so forth with taxpayers.
70%.
Now, therefore, what do you think needs to happen to bring this back?
That 70% is not going to be 70% once these people get through.
There are $650 million in this bill for digital TV coupons.
It's not stimulus.
$600 million for a new fleet of green, environmentally approved cars for the federal government.
And by the way, that $600 million is double the current cost for the existing fleet.
$6 billion for colleges and universities, many of which have billion-dollar endowments.
$50 million in funding for the National Endowment of the Arts.
$44 million for repairs to the U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters.
$200 million for the National Mall, including $21 million for SAD.
The stimulus bill establishes 32 new government programs at a cost of over $136 billion.
That means that more than a third of this plan's spending provisions are dedicated to creating new government programs.
There is $4.19 billion for neighborhood stabilization or ACOIN, community organizing voter fraud groups.
That is, we are paying to fund Obama's Army.
Just one in $7 of an $18.5 billion expenditure on energy efficiency would be spent within the next 18 months.
One in $7.
The House Democrat bill will cost each and every household $6,700 in additional debt.
The bill provides enough spending, $825 billion, to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700.
$825 billion is enough to give every person in Ohio $72,000.
$825 billion is enough to give every person living in poverty in the U.S. $22,000.
And it goes on.
There are six more categories and items, but this is just the beginning.
Once this kind of thing happens, we had stimulus all last year and it didn't work.
We've had bank bailouts and it hasn't worked.
The evidence is, in fact, what's really damning about this is that a credit crunch is largely to blame for all of this, correct?
The credit crunch, because there's debt out there.
We got way too much debt.
Debt was leveraged at 30 to 1.
Unsupportable ratios.
What is this?
What is this?
This is debt like we haven't seen in an annual budget deficit.
And by the way, Obama said that he was going to cut wasteful government spending.
Where's that list?
You remember he said that he was going to go through every line and find out the programs that weren't necessary.
He's going to get rid of them.
Haven't seen that of you.
Yeah, I'll tell you where he'll find those programs.
Where do you think he'll find those programs?
Yes, he will.
He will find programs that we don't need that we can cut.
I guarantee you he will.
Every Democrat president always has.
It's called Pentagon.
It's called the Department of Defense.
It's called Closing Guantanamo Bay.
It's called Demilitarizing Space.
It's called going on Al Arabia TV and saying the United States is too often dictated, not listened.
We are not your enemy.
If you're a jihadist listening to this, this is a big day for you watching Obama last night.
Barney Frank, the truth has been spoken.
This afternoon, MSNBC Live, the anchor Enria Mitchell, NBC News, asked Barney Frank, White House has already hinted at compromises, as we've suggested, fixing the AMT, some of these other things, reaching out to the Democrats, telling Henry Waxman not to put the family planning money in.
Are the Democrats going to go ahead and compromise and should they?
The fact that we are talking about this very large by traditional standards recovery package is an acknowledgement that the right-wing philosophy of leave the market alone, that it hasn't worked.
Now, it's a mistake sometimes politically to accept your basic victory and then get too bitterly embroiled over the details.
This is a repudiation of the Republican conservative philosophy and an affirmation of what's traditionally been Democratic philosophy, which is private and public sectors can work together constructively.
There you have it, Barney Frank making it official.
The Democrat Party theory is that the election was a victory for the combining of the public and private sector, and there's no such thing as that.
One is going to usurp the other.
The public sector, the government will usurp the private sector.
This was not a failure of Republican right-wing philosophy of leave the market alone.
The market was fixed by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
The mortgage market, the lending market was fixed.
It was rigged.
This is outrageous.
This is outrageous.
If John Thane is going to be forced to resign, if this guy at Lehman Brothers fooled, if he's going to be forced to resign, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd ought to be walking out the door right behind him.
I am serious as I can be.
Andrea Mitchell then said this.
Now, the Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, pressured Citigroup to drop plans for their $50 million jet.
Certainly a pretty big fat symbol.
What should be done?
What about legislation?
What about a new regulator to look at the way TARP money is being spent?
And whether or not the bank's not only getting the money out to people, but whether they're using the money to recapitalize themselves and not do what John Thane and others have done in terms of decorating their office suites.
I was never for John McCain for president, but one more good reason is that apparently John Thane would have been his secretary of the Treasury, so that's one more reason to be grateful.
I'm very disappointed in John Thane.
So here again, the diversion focusing on the jet, focusing on the bathroom, which means nothing to you.
It means nothing to us.
What means everything is how trillions of dollars is being usurped and taken out of the private sector by Barney Frank, who now claims that's what the election is about.
The election was about government getting bigger and taking over parts of the private sector.
That's what he says it was about.
That's the mandate Obama thinks he's got.
And this is why it's so frustrating.
I cannot, I cannot believe so much of the conservative intelligentsia stands or sits silent while this is going on.
Mr. Frank, Congressman Frank, I have a question.
Did John Thane pay his taxes?
Did the guys at Citigroup that you have Geithner investigating and telling what they can and can buy, did they pay their taxes?
Because we know that Geithner didn't.
Thane pays taxes.
I mean, we want to know.
See, a California woman that gave birth to Octuplets, eight kids.
I sure as hell hope Nancy Pelosi does not hear about that.
North Vernon, Indiana.
Dave, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here.
Hello, Rush.
Hi.
Yeah, I'm a longtime listener, first-time caller.
And I just, you know, I was really upset over the first bailout.
And then, you know, we're getting ready to spend another trillion dollars.
And one of the things that I'm really upset about is the explanation to the American people, especially as a taxpayer.
And I was hoping you might be able to enlighten me a little bit.
I've always felt like the economy, cash kind of recirculates around.
And, you know, when the banks came to us and said, hey, we need almost a trillion dollars, I'm just sitting there asking myself, well, where'd the cash go?
Well, that is a multi-part answer.
And I'm just going to give you a sketch answer to the question, okay?
Okay.
Because there are many places that the money went, and it became sort of a Ponzi scheme put off down the road.
I don't know which came first, but it doesn't matter because they happen within close proximity.
One of the things, and the real foundation for this, goes back to the Community Redevelopment Act, the CRA, or RDA, whatever it was, that required homeownership for people who had no business owning a home when they couldn't afford it.
The word should have been rent, but people felt it was not fair that some people were not allowed to have homes.
So loans are made to people that could not pay them.
Therefore, those loans are worthless.
When you loan somebody the money, and there's no down payment, when you loan somebody $300,000 for a house or whatever it was, and there's no way to pay it back, you have just given away $300,000 unsecured, no way of getting it back.
These loans were forced on many of these banks by groups like Acorn, by a couple of former presidents.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac entered.
By the way, you say Fannie Mae needs $16 billion more to stay solvent?
Have you seen that today?
We've already given these clowns, I forget what the number is, 85 or 25 billion, but we have given these Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
And by the way, these Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, this is a great lesson too.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are said to be private sector companies.
That was the wizardry in setting them up.
But they're not.
They are government agencies.
They are so-called private sector entities run by the government.
It doesn't work.
They were used to lie in the pocketbooks of the people that work.
They're just like these guys on Wall Street theoretically did.
So it's a tangled web, but basically what you had was these unsecured mortgages in the millions.
And then you had people who were flipping houses just to get money on them, never living in them.
It was just, it was an absolute mess.
So the banks then tried to find a way to make these mortgages that were worthless worthless.
So they sold them.
In some cases, they sold them to Fannie Mae.
In other places, they batched them and they sold them to other financial institutions.
Then they created insurance policies, which were also sold and other financial products to try to give these worthless mortgages some kind of value.
You hear the term toxic assets.
Remember now that the original purpose of the $700 billion bailout in October was to buy up these toxic assets, not so much tie them up, but to try to establish a value for them.
The value was zero.
So establish a value and then auction them.
Then you might have people buy them if you assign value.
It never happened.
So all of these banks stuck.
Then there was Sarbanes-Oxley, marked to market where they had to go their balance sheets every year and say, okay, our worth is based on our activity this year, not what we expect to be coming in in the future, not based on our long-range plans, but marked to market.
And right now, we're broke.
We don't have diddly squad because our mortgages that we were forced to lend don't have any value.
And neither do the insurance programs we created to give them value.
So we got toxic asset after toxic.
We've got poison in the financial system.
When the house business, when the home business, when the whole thing was going and people thought values would never decline, some of these same people were borrowing and lending money at 30 to 1 ratios.
In other words, they were borrowing or lending for $1 they had, borrowing or lending $30.
Those ratios could not be supported.
Those ratios could not be maintained.
And so what you have here is a liquidity crisis.
So they've been trying to pump liquidity or cash back into these institutions that had none because all the things they invest.
Think of this.
There's a stock.
You've got a good friend.
Folks, I got a stock for you.
This stock, and it costs nothing.
You can go out and you buy a million dollars of nothing and you go do it.
You can't lose a million dollars worth of nothing.
If all you've got to 100 grand, buy it, buy this stock, nothing.
It won't cost you anything.
Well, you buy nothing, you have nothing.
Then you try to give nothing some value, and it's impossible.
Zero is zero.
So that's where it went.
And meanwhile, the people that got the mortgages, largely, some of them still in their houses, and the people that got mortgages that can pay for them, their rates went up.
They're the ones being foreclosed on.
You know what?
We're going to skip.
No, we'll not.
We'll do seven.
And then what did I tell you?
24, 24.
26, 24, 25.
26, 24, 25.
Yeah, it's seven, and it's the two Obamas from LA Rubia.
11 and 12.
It's 7, 11, and 12.
That's what it's going to be.
Anyway, I want to go to the phones before we do any of that.
Jane in Bloomington, Indiana, welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Thanks, Rush.
Steeler Ditto's from Snowy Bloomington.
Thank you very much.
Rush, I just have to, you want to talk a little football here.
My husband was Ben's coach when he was at Miami University.
Whoa, I just want you to know that Ben is even better than he seems.
Wait a sec.
Was your husband a position coach and a head coach?
No, he was the head coach.
Your husband was the head coach at Miami of Ohio when Rothlessberger was the QB there?
Right.
We recruited him.
And I remember.
Yeah, he's from Finlay, Ohio.
That's correct.
That's right.
That's right.
And when he came for his recruiting weekend, he wanted to make sure that I knew how to pronounce his name and spell his name because, you know, he was even as an 18-year-old, you know, he had such promise.
And not only talent on the field, which obviously we all, you know, we all can appreciate that, but he had that special something that has brought him to where he is, you know, as well.
Do you remember who else?
I don't know this.
I should, but do you remember who else was recruiting Rothlessberger against your husband?
Ohio State, and surprisingly, Duke.
His dad went to Georgia Tech, so he had a soft spot for the ACC.
But the story was that there were some that didn't pronounce his name correctly or whatever.
Having an odd last name, I can identify with that.
What is your last name?
People want to know your husband's name.
What was the coach?
My last name is Heppner, which sounds good, but when you throw in the O and the E, it's kind of hard to say.
Right, and I remember Rothlessberger has said your husband, one of the most formative mentors and people in his life.
He was, yes, yes.
And I think your husband had a lot to do with singing Ben's praises to the Steelers, correct?
There is no doubt.
There is no doubt.
And, you know, they just really had kind of a special thing with each other.
And, you know, they were there at some of those real high points in their lives, really.
How often do you still talk to Rothlessberger?
Yes.
And he's just special.
He is just a neat person.
And for him to experience all that he has in really such a short time and at a relatively young age and be able to handle it the way that he has is just a tribute to his family.
I loved the quote about his dad, and that's just absolutely the truth.
He just.
Oh, you should have seen him with this little kid report.
I know.
I've seen it.
And I just, when you were saying that, I thought I knew exactly how he was because there's nothing superficial about him.
And, you know, as much, well, you understand that, as much publicity and as many people want a piece of him, it would be easy for him to be different than the way he is.
So I just.
Well, he does breathe rarefied air.
You know, there are only 650 people in the country who do what he does.
And in terms of the position he plays, there's only 32.
Right.
And not all of those are in his league.
So it's really rarefied air.
He's one of the, they've got four or five leaders on that team, but he's clearly one of them.
And he has kept level head.
He's been through a lot for his age.
Success, challenges, and so forth.
But he does seem to have a really level head.
And I think his family and his faith, I think, is it's a tribute to that.
I really do.
Well, this is a thrill for me.
I'm talking to the wife of the coach at Miami, Ohio, recruited Rothlessberger.
Are you going to talk to him this week?
I bet he's swamped and hard to get to.
I'm swamped.
I just, I really, right, right, right.
May text, but probably won't talk.
But we came to Indiana University, and then Terry passed away in 2007.
And so, you know, it's been an interesting time for me to be able to see him.
I wish Coach could, you know, to see where he is.
We went to the last Super Bowl when they were at Detroit in 06, and of course that was great, and, you know, with the win and all.
But it's just where he is right now.
It's just real special.
Well, congratulations.
I know that's got to make you very proud.
They're very few.
Very proud.
Well, it is because your husband was in the process of molding young men to be the best they could be at what they do, and Rothlessberg is at the top of that hill.
Yep, yep, for sure.
Well, thanks.
Jane, thanks for the call.
This has been a treat.
Now, obviously, as the wife of football coach, I know you can't be objective here, but I want you to tell me what you really think about the outcome of the Super Bowl.
I think the Steelers really came on as the year went on.
And I think my sense is they're hitting their stride right now, and I think it is going to be one great game.
But I'd never bet against the Steelers.
Yeah.
You know, let me tell you something.
I had a friend of mine send me an email last night.
He knows that I'm a football expert.
He knows I'm a Steelers fan.
And he said the line out there, six points.
I think that's not enough.
He said, they're going to have to raise this line to get some Cardinal money out there.
They're going to have to go to at least seven.
What do you think?
And I said, no, this is the truth.
Jane, you won't say it, but I will.
On paper, on paper, this game, and I don't play it on paper, understand, on paper, this is a decisive Steelers win.
This isn't even close, but they have to hype the Super Bowl.
So they have to make it look like that, and anything can happen on any given day, injuries and turnovers and this kind of thing.
But from what I'm hearing, if somebody, if Larry Fitzgerald, number 11 for the Arizona Cardinals, for some reason has a bad day or can't go, they don't have a prayer.
Well, they're making this a one-man office with Warner, of course, throwing the ball, but somebody's got to catch it.
Anquan Bolden is there's going to be so much talent on that field.
There's no way.
And that's the best thing about football is that.
Oh, I just, the only reason I dread Sunday is because I don't want it to be over.
But it's just, it's the greatest game.
That's one of the greatest comments from a woman about football I have ever heard.
I don't want it to be over.
I don't.
Most women say that about their relationships.
You said it about a football game.
That's fabulous.
Yeah.
Well, thank you, Rush.
It's good to talk to you.
I appreciate you taking my call.
Thank you, Jane.
It's a thrill.
Let's see now.
Everybody thinks this game, I'm going to give you a little preview here of my discussion with The Hutch.
And by the way, we're going to be talking to Tony Dungy on Thursday about his great, great new book called Finding Your Path to Significance.
Everybody Wants to Matter.
The title of his book is Uncommon.
And I went through the chapters here.
This is just great.
How do you, what does it take to live a life of significance?
There's a chapter in here.
Choose influence over image.
I can't wait.
That's a part.
That's a section.
There are four chapters on that.
Everybody thinks this game is the Steelers defense versus Warner, the Arizona QB, from the grocery stores of Iowa.
That's the story of Kurt Warner.
In fact, you want to know the real story of Kurt Warner.
I'm going to make you cry, ladies.
It's in Iowa, snowy day one day.
And Kurt Warner is in the grocery store sacking groceries.
And a woman comes in that just really appeals to him.
He says, I want to take you to dinner.
I can't.
I can't go to dinner.
I'm making this real short.
Can't go to dinner.
Why not?
Well, my son is disabled, wheelchair.
I'm not sure what it was.
My daughter and so forth.
I just, oh, Warner, I'll take all four of you to dinner.
All three of you.
Take the four of us.
They did, and that's who he's married to.
And people that know him say he's one of the top five people in all of football.
So the game is Warner, the sentimental favorite, the good guy.
With the two great receivers, really the one special one, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Bolden, out there causing trouble, a la TO now, and then with Edger and James on the trail end of a wonderful career upstart team.
And here they come, the big, bad Pittsburgh Steelers who maim everybody they play with and they send them off the field in carts and they go to the hospital.
So everybody thinks this game is going to be the Steelers defense number one in the league against the Cardinals offense.
I don't think so.
I think I know how that's going to come out.
This game is going to hinge.
I'm going to see if the Hutch agrees with me on this.
I know he won't.
Just in principle, this game is going to come down to the Steelers offense.
Jane, I know you're still listening.
This game is going to come down to the Steelers offense versus the Cardinal defense because if Warner doesn't turn it over, if the Steelers don't, defense doesn't score some points, the Steelers offense is going to have to.
And they did 35 against the Chargers, but against the Ravens the defense had to do it.
The defense had to score the points that won the game.
So watch the Steeler offense and the Arizona defense.
Of course, analyzing this stuff is kind of silly too, because you can't predict turnovers and you can't predict.
You can't predict injuries, you can't predict a whole bunch of things that can totally change momentum.
Brief timeouts, we will be back.
I don't believe folks, hang on just a second.
I don't believe this Snerdley is telling me a story I did, with all that goes on here.
Why didn't you warn the guy?
sometimes it gets so frustrating snerdley's telling me this story a friend of his had a computer went out got a new computer and tried to load the data from the old computer onto the new computer by migrating it and something happened and it didn't work and a lot of the data is why didn't you tell him to pack it up first Don't idiots deserve what that's.
Carbonite is idiot proof.
You don't idiots he said idiots deserve what they get.
I keep hearing these stories where people lose computer data.
It's frustrating.
We have been telling people about Carbonite here for I don't know how many months now.
There's no excuse.
There is no excuse anymore for those of you losing data on your computer.
You can back it up online.
It's automatic.
You don't even know what's happening and it happens every time your computer is connected to the internet.
Carbonite.com it is so simple and easy.
And your hard drive something's going to happen to it.
The cat is going to pee on the computer.
The dog something's going to happen to it someday.
Carbonite.com offer code rush.
Uh, I think it's a there's.
Where is this?
A phone number can also just handle here in just a second.
Yes there's.
Uh uh no, just go to Carbonite.com, have an online business.
Everything's on this.
Go to Carbonite.com and find out how to do it.
It's not expensive at all and it's it's gonna.
It's gonna save your life.
I am being inundated with offer code rush.
That's didn't.
I say that.
I did too.
You people stop mess.
You did.
I did stop messing with my mind.
You say i'm saying monday when I said thursday, right, offer code rush.
Anyway, I'm being inundated with emails about our last caller, Jane Heppner from Bloomington, Indiana.
And by the way, I'm also being inundated.
You didn't get the Kurt Warner story quite right.
I know.
I didn't have a whole lot of time.
It's a great inspirational story.
The fact of the matter is the essence of the story was right.
There was no attempt to get it.
You know, the links people go to keep me accurate when you vote for the wrong people.
I cannot, some of you.
Some of you have no right to tell me I made a mistake.
Anyway, I'm being inundated with emails about Jane Heppner, who called from Bloomington, Indiana.
She's the widow of Terry Heppner, who was the coach in Miami, Ohio.
And after his success there, he was hired at the University of Indiana and passed away at age 59 due to a brain tumor after getting a great start on rebuilding the program there.
Complications from a brain tumor.
And I'm getting, Rush, do you really realize who you were just talking to?
Do you realize that was Jane Heppner?
I did.
I didn't.
I don't want to embarrass people, but this funny little email is something like Jane Heppner.
And it's from a guy named Zach Spear.
He said, that was the wife of the late Terry Heppner, right?
Even though I'm a Northwestern guy, the fact that she called into you makes me like Indiana football a little better, even though they beat us this year and cost us our 10th win.
I'm being inundated with emails of the people.
People cannot believe I spoke to Jane Heppner.
Rush, you lucky dog.
You have no idea who you are.
I knew who I was speaking to.
I was just, she wanted to talk about Rothlessberger, not herself.
But her husband passed away at age 59.
There's a link you can read about him at ESPN.
Won nine games as Indiana's coach, but he'll always be remembered as the program's rock.
Passed away Tuesday after a long fight with brain cancer.
The man hired to revive Indiana's foundering football program in 2004, had a three-ton limestone boulder placed in the north end of the end zone of Memorial Stadium.
Died of complications of a brain tumor Tuesday morning at the hospital with his family.
He was 59.
So he's a very, very popular coach.
I've got to grab this call before we go.
This is Ms. Ricky from Brooklyn.
Ms. Ricky, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, salam, salam.
How are you?
Thank you.
You met my ear now.
I'm so glad to talk to you.
Thank you so much.
You're very popular, by the way, with Israelis.
I'm originally, I was born in Israel, but I'm a very proud patriotic American citizen also.
So I'm right here.
Last night, I saw the Israeli TV.
You know, we get Israeli TV through the Dish Network.
Wait, You got to slow down there, Ms. Ricky, because in my hearing, I can't keep up with you.
You're watching Israeli TV.
Oh, and you've got 25 seconds.
I'm sorry.
If I might have talked to you tomorrow, but go ahead and try.
Okay, I was watching Israeli TV last night.
You know, we get here in New York.
You can get Israeli TV if you sign.
And they had a program about you.
I mean, I would like to tell you that.
I hope we can do it in 25 seconds.
I think you'll be thrilled.
They gave you a lot of compliments.
Hold it, hold it.
Get her phone.
25 seconds is gone.
They had a program on me on the Dish Network in Israel.
Israeli TV had a program about me.
Oh, compliments.
I get criticized by my own president.
Praised in Israel.
Well, that's it, folks.
The fastest three hours in media.
This show, just like the Super Bowl, according to Jane Heppner, the worst thing about it is that it ends.
Of course, it doesn't end.
We just take a 21-hour break and we'll be back.
