Time Text
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here I am, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day while executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes so far.
Don that orgasm story, that's a UK story, right?
Yeah, I've got it in a stack.
There's I got a story in one of the UK newspapers that is very healthy for an orgasm a day.
They're teaching this to kids.
Uh in the uh in the UK.
We'll have we'll have details also.
This New York Times story that came up on Sunday about Cheney and the CIA and a secret plan.
That, you know, this is classic.
The plan was never implemented.
It was a secret plan, Cheney and the CIA basically to target Al-Qaeda operatives.
And now everybody's having a cow over Cheney doing something secret and not telling anybody about it, and all this is an attempt to give cover for Nancy Pelosi.
The story is that there has been a plan since 2001 to target and capture and kill Al-Qaeda leaders.
9-11, 2001.
And Leon Panetta ended it when he found out that's the story.
The story, the Democrats ended it.
That's what everybody needs to know when it comes to the Democrats' national security and foreign policy.
I mean, this is this is just absurd.
Uh Wall Street Journal.
CIA had a plan to capture and kill Al Qaeda.
Well, we should hope so.
I mean, what the hell else would you do after 9-11?
Doesn't that seem sort of like a natural flow?
We lose the World Trade Center, part of the Pentagon, and people on a plane in Pennsylvania, and so we implemented plan with the CIA to capture and kill Al Qaeda.
I would sure as hell hope that's what was happening.
Now the uh the revelation that this is the plan that the Democrats were pretending to be so outraged about.
And this is, you know, this is the New York Times story.
They're all the New York Times story did not say what the plan was.
Secret CIA plan.
Go get Cheney.
Let's chase Cheney again.
All this does, this is this confirms that this is just nothing more than an attempt to cover up Pelosi's lies about her waterboarding briefings.
That's all this story's purpose is, is to is to give her cover.
And perhaps to further the cause that Eric Holder has announced that he wants to go back and and actually prosecute Bush administrations for war crimes because of torture.
Folks, that doesn't happen in the United States of America.
Uh administrations change, they go into the past, the current one leads to the future.
It's in Banana Republics and Totalitarian Dictatorships, where you go back and criminally prosecute your predecessors for the purpose of seeing to it that they never surface again.
So here you have this is how far Pelosi and the Democrats will go to protect themselves and the media, by the way, uh protect their ruling elites.
Now they're they're getting back into gear here with the Sotomayor hearings.
I I'm watching at Sturdley's office during the break as the senators are uh getting together behind the the uh the the uh hearing desk uh all talking with one another, and I see Al Franken talking to uh Arlen Specter.
And I looked at Sturdly and said, don't tell me Franken's on the Judiciary Committee.
And Snerdley says that Al Franken is on the Judiciary Committee.
Now, I had I had a policy uh during all these years, never mentioning Franken's name.
He was did this horribly poor talk show.
You know, you don't you don't mention you just don't talk about people so far down in the food chain.
All you do is elevate them up.
Well, I don't know how I'm gonna avoid.
Talk about Al Franken.
I say he's gonna get a rant this afternoon on on Sotomayor.
Well, in fact, you know, you're gonna hear um you're gonna hear a lot of talk this week about the appropriate role of judges in America.
And uh the Republicans are doing a great, great job of this so far this morning.
Now you've already heard the BAMster tell us every good thing about Sotomayor and how judges, including her, should take empathy and their own life experiences into consideration when deciding cases.
That is the exactly the opposite of the founding fathers' view of the legal system.
It certainly takes away the notion of following the Constitution and written law as the standards on which to base a decision.
Now it's time like these.
That the Heritage Foundation offers a whole lot of insight and something special for their members too.
Tomorrow night, Tuesday evening, Heritage Foundation members are gonna be treated to an exclusive informational conference phone call with former Attorney General Ed Meese and Senator Jim Dement.
Both of them have inside perspectives on what to expect in the coming days and what it means regarding the Sotomayor nomination.
You get invited to participate in such events when you are a member of Heritage.
You can become a member for as little as $25.
Just go to AskHeritage.org and sign up today, become a member and take part in tomorrow evening's get together on the phone with Ed Meese and Senator Dement.
And Ed Meese is brilliant.
Ed Meese is one of these guys who was pillowed and lambasted during the Reagan years, but he is a brilliant scholar.
He's at Heritage, Jim Dement, of course, as well.
So you want to find out the insider view of all of this.
As a member at Askheritage.org, you can listen in on the conference call tomorrow night as Ed Meese and Jim Dement speak directly to you as a Heritage Foundation Foundation member.
So the uh web address there again is uh ask heritage.org.
Now I did I mentioned the plan.
I meant that Panetta canceled the plan.
That's the story.
We had a plan.
This plan, by the way, this Cheney CIA plan was never implemented.
It was just you would hope there'd be this kind of plan.
It was never implemented.
Um they just found out about it.
Somebody's leaking this for the purpose of covering up Pelosi.
And Panetta, this is the big deal New York Times on Sunday, Panetta made a big deal of canceling it.
That's the story.
The story is a Democrat CIA director cancels a plan to pursue Al-Qaeda operatives while we're in Afghanistan doing just that.
Now, all this is just for show.
And to provide an entree for these people to head back into uh Cheney territory and to uh try to get at him.
Audio sound bites before we go to the break, Colin Powell, State of the Union Sunday, July 5th on CNN John King.
Let me ask you first if you know Judge Sotomayor.
No, I do not.
She seems like a very gifted and accomplished woman.
She certainly has an open and liberal bent of mind, but that's not disqualifying.
But she seems to have a judicial record that seems to be balanced and tries to follow the law.
And so I hope we do have a spirited set of hearings.
What we can't continue to have is to have somebody like a Judge Sotomayor, who is announced.
And based on one simple tricky but nonetheless case that the Supreme Court has now decided, have her call a racist or reverse racist.
And she ought to withdraw her nomination because we're mad at her.
You understand?
He's just...
Well, I know he's shameless, James, but...
He's got me on the brain.
I mean, who else called her a racist and reverse or race?
Newt called her a racist and he pulled it back.
I called her racist and bigot and stuck with it.
And a reverse racist.
Balanced.
Sotomayor is balanced.
She's overturned all the time.
The only people overturned more than Sotomayor is the Ninth Circus.
Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
What else did he say?
She certainly has an open and liberal bit of mind, but that's not disqualifying.
She seems to have a judicial record, seems to be balanced, tries to follow the law.
Um I tries.
Tries.
Hey, hey, hey, she's doing it.
She's trying out there.
Let's put her on the let's put her on a place where nobody can overrule her.
Nobody can overrule this woman once she gets there.
We're stuck with her.
A poor woman denied the classics at Cardinal Spellman High School.
Based on one simple tricky but nonetheless case at the Supreme Court's now, nothing tricky about it.
She's talking he's talking about the Ricci firefighter case.
Have her called a racist.
That's not why we call her a racist because she said that she hoped a white Latina would have a far richer experience than your average white guy.
I'll tell you what, let me try this.
You know what?
I'd have been a better Secretary of Defense and a better Secretary of State because I'm a white guy, and I have a better understanding of the history of this country in national defense than Colin Powell.
You think I'd be called a racist?
Yes, I would.
I would be called a racist if I'd said that, and I would be.
If I'd said I'm better than Colin Powell because I'm white and he's black, I'd be called a racist.
So why does she get a pass?
She said she's better because she's Latina.
The average white guy.
Words mean things, folks.
I know that political correctness requires us to be balanced and to dance around these things so that we could appear to be moderate and of even temperament and so forth.
Well, let's move on.
Another sound that I'd hear from General Secretary Powell.
Uh John King, you wrote in your book some time ago, never in the two years I worked with Ronald Reagan and George Bush did I detect the slightest trace of racial prejudice in their behavior.
They led a party, however, whose principal message to black Americans seemed to be lift yourself up by your bootstraps.
As General Powell did, by the way, until he met Reagan, who then pulled Powell up by his bootstraps.
Some did not have boots, which is why they couldn't pull themselves up by bootstraps.
I wish that Reagan and Bush had shown more sensitivity on this point.
Okay, so here's Colin Powell going after the two people that elevated him to the highest position in his life.
I wish that Reagan and uh Bush had shown more sensitivity on this point.
Let's fast forward to where we are today.
Does the Republican Party have that sensitivity you wish it had now?
When you have non-elected officials, such as we have in our party, Limbaugh who immediately shout racism.
Or somebody who is quite prominent in the media says that the only basis upon which I could possibly have supported Obama was because he was black and I was black, even though I laid out my judgment on the candidates, then we still have a problem.
The guy who used the term reverse racism, this Rush Limbaugh.
And he has said some not so favorable things about you.
Mr. Limbaugh, of course, is entitled to his opinion, but he's not on any membership committee.
He doesn't decide who I am or what I am, no more than I decide who he is or what he is.
So we've had this running debate, let's call it that.
And he's entitled as his opinion on the title of mine.
Well, I, as Mr. Limbaugh, uh as Mr. Limbaugh, uh, I'm not deciding who or what Colin Powell is.
He is.
I'm merely observing.
Now uh he laid out his judgment on the candidates.
I guess we then have to ask, uh I don't think John King did.
I didn't see the show.
I was already on the vacation trip.
But had I, Rush Limbaugh been the host, uh, I would have said, well, what is it about Obama's policies that you now staunchly support?
Are you in favor of the stimulus leading us to nine and a half percent uh unemployment?
Do you agree with uh President Obama, uh, General Powell when he apologizes for this country on every international trip?
Uh do you believe, General Powell, that we need to have a single-payer national health care system?
Do you believe, General Powell, that the United States government should own automobile companies?
Colin Powell was a Republican, is a Republican.
John McCain was the ideal Colin Powell candidate.
And yet he endorsed, not just endorsed, but strategically announced the endorsement at a time of Obama designed to inflict the most harm on the candidate of his own party.
Why this?
So I I I said I think he feels he'd face a lot of heat if, as a black man, he didn't support the first black candidate for president of the United States.
I don't know what else it could be.
I guess I'm gonna get in more trouble here, but I don't.
The uh state-run media continues, and even several uh Republican media commentators, I think totally continue to totally misread and uh and misunderstand Sarah Palin.
Here's a state-run media montage where the state-run media basically say that Sarah Palin is me in a skirt.
Maybe she just wants to be rather than president, the next Rush Limbaugh.
I think she will co-host with Rush Limbaugh.
She could potentially be the next Rush Limbaugh of the party.
I don't think it precludes her trying to run like Rush Limbaugh wielded great influence.
She'll be the next Rush Limbaugh.
Is her future as Rush Limbaugh and a skirt.
They get on these themes, they get on these these well, these themes, and they all adopt them.
Now the well, here's one more and remitching from Washington.
This was on Meet the Press yesterday morning.
David Gregory said, this is a question I post Senator McCain, which is is shirking from those fights the way you demonstrate leadership in the Republican Party.
I think that is her big flaw right now.
She's feisty.
She's attractive.
Lord knows she's attractive.
But she has to have a coherent world view to be the Republican nominee.
And the reason why she was so rambling in that Friday statement and didn't really fix it in her interviews with many of us, is that she doesn't, she's not deeply read.
She hasn't thought through a lot of these policies.
And you have to do that.
Okay.
I and I I hear this from a lot of people on our side, too, primarily women.
Primarily women.
And I think many of them have been in Washington too long.
I Lord knows she's attractive.
That's the rub.
That's the rub.
That's well, it's not the whole rub, but it's part of what grates on him.
Trust me, my friends.
Trust me.
When your poster chick is Barbara McCulski, you get the drift.
Now, your poster chick is Nancy Pelosi.
I don't care, pick one.
But this whole notion of I'm sure Obama's well read, too, right?
And Obama's running around apologizing for the United States every chance he gets.
What's the point of being well read?
This whole this is a this is an effort to say she's unsophisticated.
She's not properly refined.
She's not from the uh schools of thought that everybody in Washington considers to be important.
Now I have no clue what she's going to do.
I don't know anybody who does besides her.
We got a Washington Post story that says she's going to go out and campaign for conservative Democrats.
When I watched her speech when she announced that she was leaving the governorship of Alaska, I didn't hear the word Republican mentioned once.
If I'm Sarah Palin, conservative.
Republican Party's been just as mean-spirited to her as the Democrats have.
A lot of them have.
A lot of the Republican media, a lot of the so-called conservative media have been.
I don't know if she's going to campaign for conservative Democrats, but if she believes that conservatism is the way to go.
The one thing that does slightly worry me about this is this whole third-party business.
It's remote, but it's still a possibility out there.
There are a lot of people pushing a third party, and that's...
Third parties, they lose.
They just they just lose.
Third parties never end up with a congressional or Senate candidates.
it's not the way to go.
But that's we'll save that for later.
If that actually uh begins to transpire, we see it beginning to transpire.
The bottom line is she and her we ought to read really brown in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday.
Willie Brown says she's just outsmarting everyone.
Uh her instincts American thinker, I think Thomas Lipson wrote about it too.
Uh Willie Brown's analysis of this.
She's just steps ahead of everybody strategically.
Uh doesn't fit any cookie cutter mold, which is exactly what's necessary.
But also, just from a standpoint of personal responsibility as governor, she has been distracted with over half million dollars of ethics charges.
None of them are true.
She is having to spend most of her time defending herself.
At the same time, let's say that she does have future political aspirations.
As a Republican or as anybody else, all of her supposed opponents do not have day jobs.
You go, let's look at the Republicans.
We could have of the ones we think are out there.
Huckabee, Romney.
We we hear Chris, and he has is a day job.
Sanford's gone.
By the way, has he been in the news lately?
He hasn't.
He's he's probably thinking Michael Jackson and this sort of my or stuff.
But if she's going to compete, she's got to come down here.
He's got to come to the lower 48.
She's got to do television.
These guys can do it anytime they want.
Uh, and if she's being distracted from serving as governor, she can overcome this quitting business, but depending on what she does between now and then.
Uh it's I I I she continues to intrigue me politically.
I don't have any idea what she's going to do, other than try to make some money right off the bat.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Okay, it's been a while since we've been to the phones, so we're going to fix that.
We're going to go to phones now.
To uh Richfield, Florida.
This is Terry.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is Brooksville, Florida.
Yeah.
Richville, did you say?
Brooksville.
All right.
May as well say Brooksville, Iowa, then, since Snarter got Richfield wrong, we'll just we'll just go.
So Brooksfield, Florida.
How close is it to Port St. Lucy?
Uh 150 miles, I guess.
But uh welcome back.
I want to say tell you welcome back anyhow.
And uh you touched on something that I uh wanted to talk about and uh while uh Obama was over in Africa and uh talking about uh talking to the uh the leaders over there about uh uh corruptness in their government and stuff, and I kind of laughed.
I thought it was kind of ironic because uh she has the uh people like the acorn people uh over here, and uh maybe they can maybe he can get them some jobs over there, maybe.
Maybe that's the change.
Well, yeah, yeah, here's here's here's what Terry is referring to.
Obama said, no country now.
Get this, folks.
While in Ghana, no country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves.
Or if police can be bought off by drug traffickers.
No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20% off the top, or the head of the port authority is corrupt.
No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery.
Well, folks, I'm gonna tell you what, our government's soon gonna be skimming 51% off the top of everything we make.
What does that make Obama?
Obama just kneecapped the auto industry.
He put the United Auto Workers in charge on the board of directors and made them owners.
What what the hell is that?
He kneecapped an entire industry.
He said, that's not democracy, that's tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there.
Now is the time for that style of corrupt governance to end.
Well, the last I looked, Obama just ordered the Justice Department to drop election intimidation charges against the new Black Panthers.
He is funneling billions in tax dollars to Acorn, which is a criminal enterprise, if widespread illegality and voter registration means anything.
This is a speech he could have made to Americans.
He gave a speech to Ghana that he could have made to Americans.
This speech was given to make Obama look like he's for democracy, freedom, and the rule of law, low taxes, economic growth.
And he wasn't even speaking to Ghana.
You know, his primary audience is right here, primary audience here at home.
He wants to govern like the people he is lecturing.
Obama wants to govern like an African colonial.
So he needs cover.
This speech paints Obama as something he is not.
No country's going to create wealth when we're not creating wealth.
If its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves, you can exploit the economy to enrich yourself politically, maybe not financially.
And that's what Obama and the Democrats are doing.
They are exploiting our economy.
They are destroying it to enrich themselves politically.
Bought off, police can be bought off by drug traffickers.
Well, I don't want to compare the new Black Panther to this, but I mean they they engage in voter intimidation, and Eric Holder drops the charge.
Now we're not going to look at that.
Acorn gets 4.8 billion dollars in stimulus money.
This lecture that Obama gave in Ghana had its primary audience right here and home.
This speech paints Obama to be something he's not.
Why wasn't this speech given in Russia?
I mean, you got because he wanted out of there alive.
Why didn't he give this speech in Russia?
Why not give this speech in Cairo?
No, Obama goes to a poor African country and he used the poor African country for a prop.
If Obama's really been out of the shape, uh been out of shape of all these things that he lists, he would not have waited to give a speech like this.
He's had opportunities in several other countries to talk about economic growth, creation of wealth.
So telling Africa to end tyranny and corruption is just cover.
Ladies and gentlemen, for an American audience who will hear him give that speech.
Oh, Obama wants to create wealth.
He wants to preserve the United States as we've always known it.
He's trying to get Africa to follow in our footsteps.
Oh, what a great guy.
It's to insulate him from any association or attachment to the current economic uh crisis.
Larry Summers.
I don't think the worst is over.
He's one of Obama's top economic advisors.
I don't think the worst is over.
This isn't a story in the Financial Times.
I don't think the worst is over.
Of course it isn't.
But why did the president tell Americans to hurry and buy stock a few months ago?
Why did he say in Los Angeles the economy had stepped back from the brink?
A few quotes from one of several thousand advisors or czars Obama has on his bloated payroll that produces crap when we need gold.
Ladies and gentlemen, the man who brings us sleet instead of sunny days, Larry Summers said this.
I don't think the worst is over.
It's very likely more jobs will be lost.
I I would not be surprising if the gross domestic product has not yet reached its low.
What does appear to be true is that the sense of panic in the markets and free fall of the economy has subsided, and one does not have the sense of a situation as out of control as a few months ago, although it's going to get better.
It's going to get worse.
Now, the Federal Reserve, whether you love them or hate them, they expanded the money supply, and the panic subsided.
Unfortunately, instead of reducing government public sector spending and cutting taxes, Obama did the exact opposite.
So instead of seeing job creation now, we have more job losses ahead of us and a contracting economy instead of growth.
Obama's bleeding the private sector.
He's running up enormous debt in order to guarantee the old economy never fully recovers.
For those who doubt this from the Financial Times, this new American economy, Summers hopes, will be more export-oriented and less consumption oriented, more environmentally oriented and less energy production oriented, more bio and software and civil engineering oriented and less financial engineering oriented.
And finally, more middle class oriented and less oriented to income growth that is disproportionate towards a very small share of the population.
Unlike many other economists, Summers does not believe that lower growth is the inevitable price of this economic.
Well, Larry Summers just told the Financial Times what Obama's economic plans are.
He is totally remaking the U.S. economy command and control from Washington.
Less oriented to income growth that is disproportionate towards a very small share of the population.
It's none of their business what anybody in this country earns.
But they do have a Pesar.
Now, interestingly here, Robert Samuelson, one of my favorite economists.
He's not not as favorite of my as is as Professor Hazlitt.
We all know Professor Hazlet, but Robert Samuelson writes a column now and then for the Washington Post and in Newsweek.
And his newsweek piece in the July 20th issue is entitled How the Mighty Have Fallen.
The rich really aren't like you and me.
They are historically recession proof, but this time they've been hit hard.
And we may all be the poorer for it, he said.
That's the theme of his piece.
With secure jobs and ample incomes, the rich and the near rich are supposed to be insulated from economic slumps.
Well, not this time.
Many feel fearful, threatened, and impoverished.
Collateral damage is widespread.
Sales at luxury chains have fallen sharply.
Same store revenues for Sachs, Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus dropped 25% in recent quarters.
Many country clubs are struggling to hold members.
Yes.
In New York's Hamptons, unsold homes reached a 34-month supply early this year at the prevailing sales price.
Buyers had hibernated.
Economist Susan Stern, a specialist in consumer spending, calls it the demise of luxury.
The people who buy $3,000 Gucci handbags, you see it in the luxury car market and housing.
The stereotype of the rich, living mainly off dividends and interest income is increasingly outdated.
Many of the wealthy are owners of smaller businesses, whose well-being is to some extent hostage to the business cycle.
The criticism usually presumes that if the rich and the near-rich get less, somebody else will get more.
You know, the old zero sum game.
Redistribution achieves a better social balance.
Sometimes that happens, but sometimes when the rich get less, no one else gets more.
Regardless of how the rich earn their money trading bonds, performing surgery, or starting new companies, providing legal work, it's no longer so lucrative.
The rich get poorer, but no one else gets richer, and society is worse off.
And that's what Obama he's nailed without saying it, what Obama is out for.
A tenth of American families in 2004 made nearly half of all charitable gifts.
That's going to be cut back.
Not to mention because of the wealth, but the tax deduction is going to go away for charity.
George W. Bush's favorable tax changes.
But cheering at its eclipse may be premature and misguided.
The contradiction is that many of the large gains at the top, rich incomes that are routinely deplored, also provide the economic fuel for desired spending at the bottom.
If the rich, however defined, remain stuck in neutral, the overall economy may not do much better.
Robert Samuelson.
Now he doesn't say so, but this is exactly what the Obama people have in mind.
And he's he makes a brilliant point.
Everybody thinks if you raise taxes on the rich, somehow that money is going to end up back in the pie.
I and the middle class is going to get richer.
That's not going to happen.
That's not how it is.
This money's being taken out of the economy.
It's being spent 10 years down the line.
It's money that's not even been earned or printed yet is being spent.
Quick timeout.
Back after this with much more.
We now go back to the phones.
800-282-2882 if you'd like to join us.
Although there's no time left for you to get through today, so don't bother calling.
Doug in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
It's a privilege to talk to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
I'm a senior in college, and my freshman year I had to write a paper on somebody past or present that we would like to spend a day with it.
It influenced our life, but not only our life, our society and culture.
And some students chose people like Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln, and I chose you, and I got the highest grade in the class, and the professor told the class that you may be the most influential person of our time.
And ever since then I've tried to figure out how I could spend a day with you, and you always tell us that we live in America and we can do anything we want if we work hard and try hard.
So ever since I wrote the paper, I've been saving my money, and I now have enough money saved up to purchase a sky box to watch the Arizona Cardinals, and I'd like to invite you to watch the football game with me in the skybox.
You have you have earned enough money now.
Wait a minute, you're a senior in high school.
Yeah, so in college since since my freshman year I've been saving up money because I figured, you know, Rush always tells us we can do anything if we try hard and work hard.
So and you in four years have saved enough money to to get a skybox at uh University of Phoenix Field for one for one game, right?
Not a season.
No, for one game.
One game.
Those things are not cheap.
You have been saving lots of money.
You've been working hard.
I have been working hard.
And you want to invite me to one of those games.
I do.
It would be it would be an honor to be able to watch a football game with you.
Well, you know, I'm I'm uh the problem with that is the problem with that is is that when you invite me to a football game, you can't talk to me.
I'm watching I'm watching football.
We're not discussing Sotomayor or Obama where we're talking football.
So I have a better idea.
Okay.
I have a better idea.
Uh I want to do you still have your essay.
I do, yes.
That you got the highest grade.
What by the way, this what what university did you attend?
Or Arizona State University.
Yeah, professor at Arizona State gave you a high grade on a paper about me.
Well, it was in the I'm a finance major.
It was in the business program, and I think that that's why they're a little bit more conservative in the business program.
Uh well, not necessarily.
Uh, but that's still interesting.
Uh that's and and and the professor.
What why do you think you got a higher grade than anybody else, other than the quality of your work?
What why do you think?
Well, because I wrote how you have influenced our society and culture so much, and you do it in a way that people can relate to, and you teach people common sense and how to look at each issue, and you know, everything that you do on a daily basis for the people of America.
I mean, it's it's uh it's unbelievable.
Hmm.
Hmm.
That's fascinating.
I am f I'm flattered and I uh I thank you very much.
Here's what I want to do.
I want I want you to give Mr. Snerdley at the end of this call, so don't hang up, uh either an email address or a phone number where we can reach you.
Okay.
All right.
Because you've been saving all this money for this basically because I told you you could.
Uh and you've you've chosen a football game because you know I love football and so forth.
But uh there may be a better way for you to spend some but not all.
How what is this?
What is give me ballpark?
What is this skybox cost for a game?
Um it's it's over ten thousand.
Over ten thousand, did you say?
Yeah, I have a better idea where you wouldn't spend all of that money.
