Time Text
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, the most listened to radio talk show in America.
What are you laughing at?
I haven't said anything funny.
What are you laughing at?
Oh, I don't want to know, eh?
All right.
I don't want to know.
Most people you say you don't want to know.
Oh, come on, tell me, tell me.
I am not going to.
I'm not, I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of begging you to tell me what I don't want to know.
800 282-2882 if you'd like to be on the program, the uh email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
The Department of Transportation is doubling the number of contract workers to process cash for clunkers transactions in an attempt to clear this big backlog of dealer applications.
The backlog of applications led to a led to complaints from dealers who spent hours trying to apply for reimbursement online and to confusion about how much of the one billion dollars have been spoken for.
The transportation department has arranged with Citigroup, which is processing applications to provide twice as many contract workers immediately and three times as many within a week.
According to the department spokeswoman Sasha Johnson, the workers will eventually number about 300.
You telling me we do not have enough people in the Department of Transportation sitting there who can handle this in a program being administered by the DOT.
We don't have 300 people who can handle this.
We have to go outside and spend even more money hiring contract workers.
By the way, contract worker does not get health benefits.
Contract workers is hired for this job and then ostensibly let go.
Now you judge the evidence just keeps mounting a measly one billion dollar program, and they have to hire 300 people to handle all the applications.
And nobody knows where the program stands.
All we know is is that dealers are being told how to disable perfectly fine cars that are traded in its clunkers so they can't be sold elsewhere for um environmental reasons.
Now get this.
This from the CyberCast News Service.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sabilus says she has quote unquote no idea about a section of the Senate health care reform bill that requires her to quote develop standards for the measurement of gender,
close quote, as opposed to simply relying on male and female for use in a new federal database that'll collect information about all beneficiaries of government-run or government-supported health care programs.
She has no idea what it means when she's being instructed to develop standards for the measurement of gender.
We can only guess, but I think we can make a pretty educated guess what they're doing here.
You know, they're including uh adictomy people and this court sort of thing.
The purpose of the database is to allow the government to detect and monitor trends in health disparities between different groups in the U.S. population.
The language mandating the database is on page 410 through page 414 of the bill.
The specific requirement for the Health and Human Services Secretary to develop standards for the measurement of gender says this quote in collecting data described in paragraph one, the secretary or designee shall A use Office of Management and Budget Standards at a minimum for race and ethnicity measures.
B, develop standards for the measurement of gender, geographic location, socioeconomic status, primary language, and disability measures.
Close quote.
The bill was voted out of the Senate's Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on July 15th, Sabillius as the HHS Secretary is the key member of Obama's cabinet in promoting his health care reforms.
If the bill's enacted, she will be the key federal official involved in executing it.
And when she was told the bill named her as the person tasked with developing Standards for measuring gender, she said she wasn't familiar with that part of it.
Measurement of gender, she said.
Yes, it's in the health care plan.
The CyberCast News Service reporter said to her, it says that uh you are responsible for developing standards to measure gender in the health care plan.
To measure gender, Sibelius said.
I think what you may be referring to is that right now insurance companies can discriminate in terms of charging women more.
No, no, no, no, said Cybercash News Service reporter.
This is the thing that you're developing standards.
I have no idea what you're talking about, measuring gender.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to be elusive.
And they're sending her out on all these town hall meetings.
And she's being bar, she I don't think she has any idea what's in this bill, period.
I think I uh she just is uh aware of the whole umbrella nature of government's gonna run it, and that's gonna make it perfect.
Government's gonna run it, and that's gonna make it good.
And uh the rest of these details, eh, they don't matter.
She went to college to boost her chances of finding a great job once she got out of scrual.
But now that that hasn't happened, Trina Thompson wants her money back.
She went to college to boost her chances of finding a great job once she got out of scroll, but now that that hadn't happened, she wants her money back.
She graduated from Monroe College.
She is suing the school for the $70,000 she spent on tuition because she hadn't found solid employment since receiving her bachelor's degree in April.
This is a school in the Bronx, it's a business-oriented school.
It didn't do enough to help her find a job, she alleges, so she wants a refund.
The college says it does plenty for their graduates.
Twenty-seven-year-old information technology student accuses the school's Office of Career Advancement for not living up to its end of the deal and offering her the leads and employment advice it promised, according to the New York Post.
They've not tried hard enough to help me.
The beleaguered Bronx resident wrote in a lawsuit, filed July 24th in Bronx Supreme Court.
I'm going to go.
This could be a bad thing for higher education.
I mean, look at all the expectations people have.
Uh and is it worth $70,000?
Then the student loans, maybe they're necessary to um to to pay for it.
Here's Jim Dement, by the way, on the Cash for Clunkers program.
He was on Fox News Sunday yesterday, and Mike Chris Wallace said, Look, as many as 250,000 new cars were bought in the very first week in the midst of a recession.
Why do you oppose putting more money into the program?
This is another bill that Congressman Senators didn't even read.
The federal government getting in the used car business, and we think, hey, this is working great.
But my children and grandchildren are going to have to pay for these cars, and we're helping auto dealers while there are thousands of other small businesses that aren't getting the help.
The role of the federal government is not to run the used car business.
And it's clear you can look at Amtrak or the post office, and now cash for clunkers.
The federal government went bankrupt in one week in the used car business, and now they want to run our health care system.
I just think this is a great example of the stupidity that's coming out of Washington right now.
Chris Wallace said, look, it sailed through the House in a day.
It's going to come up in the Senate next week.
Are you going to be able to block it?
I've heard John McCain is going to stand up and try to stop it, and I'm going to work with him every way I can.
I mean it's a filibuster.
It makes no sense.
I don't know what it means right now, Chris, but this is crazy to try to rush this thing through again while they're trying to rush through health care and they want to get on to cap and trade electricity tax.
We've got to slow this thing down.
Yeah, unfortunately, Senator, you don't have the votes to do it.
Uh filibuster the cash for clunker program.
The one thing that some people what's your read on this, sturdily?
You think people like the program you think uh oh oh?
Uh uh.
I think a lot of people, of course, they're getting a the 4,500 dollar trade-in, or 35, depending on what uh quality of their car is, and so forth.
But it's interesting to note that Chrysler and General Motors are owned by the government.
Government is paying itself.
And the United Auto Workers, union people who work there, it's just it's it's very typical.
I have a friend in Kansas City.
I haven't seen have you seen any TV commercials for this uh for the program?
Well, then you confirmed I haven't.
I was away from television all weekend, didn't have it on.
My friend in Kansas City said he's watching these commercials, and if you didn't know better, I mean because they're taking sound bites from Obama in commenting on the Cash or Clunker program, the commercials make it look like Obama is selling you a car at a real steal of a deal that Obama is actually the one making this.
Obama is involved.
Obama wants you to have 4,500 bucks, so you go out and get rid of this clunker.
And by the way, if you take in a perfectly good car, it has to be disabled.
It may, you know, it may be a perfectly fine car that doesn't qualify mileage-wise or whatever, but it if if in other words, you don't really have to have a clunker.
They're gonna take what you take in and make it a clunker if they have to.
I mean, they just they're they're gonna ruin the engine, is basically what they do.
It's a 14-step process.
Is that an accurate description of commercials you've seen for this, or are you seeing local dealer commercials?
Mm-hmm.
Well, yeah, the foreign auto spots I've heard too are funny.
We're better than the American cars.
Come in and deal with us.
Would somebody explain this next one to me?
Homeless people from across the country competed this weekend in the street soccer USA Cup with a team from San Francisco taking the title.
San Francisco beat defending champion Minneapolis on Sunday in the final game of the tournament, which was held at Castle's Stadium in downtown D.C. The top eight players in the tournament will represent the United States in the 48 Nation homeless World Cup scheduled for September in Milwaukee, Italy.
Well, it is true.
It's it's from state-controlled associated press.
Street soccer USA conducts soccer programs at social service agencies and homeless shelters across the country.
The tournament, which began Friday, brought together 16 teams of homeless men and women.
HR just said to me that he saw a TV report on this, and most of these are a lot of these are newly homeless people, yuppie types.
Uh they're out of work now, and so they're j under 40 of them.
I guarantee them to you, soccer team.
What do they play it with?
An empty beer can for crying out loud with the what in the world?
How does this have we are spending money?
How does a team from San Francisco get to Washington to compete against a team from Minneapolis?
How the hell do we get them there?
We're in a recession.
We're losing five, six hundred thousand jobs a month, and we are we flying them in there?
Putting them up in hotels, pregame meals, post-game suds.
And we're gonna fly them to Milan for a 48 nation homeless world cup.
Somebody I has to explain this to me.
Who put this together?
Who would come up with this idea for what purpose?
For crying out loud, if you can get them on a soccer field to kick a can or a ball around.
Uh what?
I well, well, that's it.
I know that they go after after the tournament in Milan, do they go back to being homeless?
And and what about, you know, only eight players from this tournament will represent the U.S. What about all the other homeless that don't make the big world team that can go to Milan?
What have they just go back to being homeless?
Well, I know you don't have to put them up at a hotel, but where do they go back and they just were they taken back to the street?
Is there some bus that takes them back?
Okay, here's your gutter.
This is where we found you.
Sorry, you didn't make the team?
We're out of here.
How does this happen?
Well, Plaxico Burris, uh, most recently of the New York Giants has been indicted for his problem with the gun, blowing himself up in the thigh.
Uh but Antonio Pierce, uh, the linebacker number 58 who was with him also spent two days before the grand jury was not indicted.
Uh, the Giants uh breathing a huge sigh of relief over that.
Uh by the way, folks, the uh the two states where the Obama administration is going to put detainees, terrorists currently at Club Gitmo, Michigan and or Kansas.
The Obama administration looking at creating a courtroom within a prison complex in the U.S. to house suspected terrorists combining military and civilian detention facilities at a single maximum security prison.
Several senior U.S. officials said the administration's eyeing a soon-to-be shuttered state maximum security prison in Michigan and the 134-year-old military penitentiary in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as possible locations for a heavily didn't Harry Reid say this would never happen.
Harry Reid said this would never ever happen.
I mean, parts of Michigan are already a wasteland, so you could get no guys there, might even create some jobs.
But I I I Harry Reid said it wasn't going to happen.
He was sure this would never happen, and yet it's happening.
But I think you gotta go in Michigan because when you're talking about a courtroom, what are you talking about?
Trials.
What do you need for trials?
Juries.
You think you could probably end up with a fair-minded jury pool in Michigan versus Kansas?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Well, if they if they don't go the military commission uh route juries.
Well, I don't well, I don't know why not do it in LA.
Uh obviously you want to give the business to a Democrat state.
And Jennifer Grantholm, I'm sure, could use the business in Michigan.
This is Amanda in Jacksonville, Florida, as we go back to the uh phones.
I really appreciate your patience, Amanda.
Thanks for waiting.
Hi, how are you?
Fine.
Thank you much.
I wanted to call in response to the woman who said that obviously when conservatives go to tea parties that were rented protesters, but when it's the left, I mean, does she not know that we have a fear of what's going on in the country?
No, let me no, let me let me explore this woman to you.
If she's talking about Chris who called from Syracuse, Indiana.
Trust me on this.
I can read the stitch on the fastball.
Chris is a woman who only watches NBC or CBS or ABC.
That's it.
She doesn't listen much to talk radio.
She probably does not access any of the alternative media.
So she has never heard that people protesting Republicans are rid of mobs.
She's probably never, she I probably told her something she didn't know.
That whenever Acorn or whoever lines up to protest some Republican or whenever the there's a meeting and the anti-globalists show up that they're all Democrat, she doesn't know that.
She probably heard the first time in her life when NBC told her that you and others like you are going to these town hall meetings that you're bought and paid for, that you're given transportation.
I'm sure that's the first time she's ever heard it about any group.
I bet you're right.
It's just sad because I do my job.
I work every day.
My parents raised me in a conservative atmosphere, and they worked hard their whole lives.
I care about the country.
I can rest assured, tell Chris I'm not getting paid.
It's just the love of my country, and I don't want to see it sink into the sea.
I know.
Look at that.
Like I said, even you know, being hypothetical with it.
Let's let's say the stories you heard in NBC is true.
Fine and nandy with me.
Right.
I'm telling you what, these are not people who have to be told what to say.
These are people who are not just speaking in slogans.
No, we won't know.
These are people showing up with specific questions, with specific knowledge of what's in the bill.
They are more informed than the members of Congress or the Senate that they're talking to or whatever government official.
So how they got there is irrelevant to me.
They are showing up and they're genuine.
I know you are.
The Tea Party people are genuine.
There's a whole segment of this population that state-controlled media does not know ex well, they know it exists because they can see in the polling data, but their objective is to ignore you and do what they can to persuade and change your mind and overwhelm you.
You're not part of the story.
You represent an obstacle to them in their efforts to help Obama get what he wants.
Lee in um Villa Rica, California.
Nice to have you.
Is that how you pronounce that?
Villa Rica, California?
Villa Rica.
Yeah, I got it.
That's why I'm a highly trained broadcast specialist.
I know how to pronounce things I've never seen before.
How are you?
Fine.
Good.
We're on the air.
It's a big showbiz break.
Yeah.
Yes, hello, Russ.
I'm very concerned that with all the attention being given to the health care fiasco in the last few weeks, that the other bills that are going to be just as harmful are totally beneath the radar right now.
The uh cap and tax and the union votes.
And I'm afraid we're going to wake up some morning and find in the dead of night that they've passed those things because people have seem to have kind of forgotten about the money.
You are very shrewd, Lee.
In fact, on Friday on this very program, might have been Thursday last week.
Um we reported something it hadn't been anywhere else.
The Hill.com reported that Harry Reed was in fact working on sneaking card check into their health care bill.
Cap and trade uh that'll come later, but you're right.
There's they're and they're they're gonna do all kinds of parliamentary tricks to get this done if they if they can't do it on legitimate votes, things like reconciliation or piecemeal.
But they're gonna they know they've got to force it down our throats.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
How?
Just by showing up, just by being here, Crass Lake, Grass Lake, Michigan, sorry.
This is Anne.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Rush, for taking precious time out of your day to answer my question.
Oh my God, I'm so indebted to you.
Well, thank you very much.
I hope this ends up being worth it.
Oh, but seriously, Rush, I have been emailing Carl Levin, Debbie Stab Me Now, Mark Schauer, our congressman, talking about the health care and telling them that I didn't feel that their families were any more important or precious to them than mine is to me, and asked them if they would have the same health care that we would have and never get a an answer, never get a response, just a form letter.
That's all I ever got from them is a form letter.
Are you surprised?
No, I'm not surprised.
In fact, Mark Schauer, who is our uh congressman here in the um in uh Jackson, Michigan.
Yeah, had a full they the Citizen Patriot put a full uh full page ad thanking him for voting yes on Cap and Trade and saying that it has created jobs in Michigan.
I took that full page ad with a marker.
Fifteen point five percent unemployment in Michigan.
Mr. Schauer, I would like to meet with you personally, but I doubt you have the nerve to speak to anyone who disagrees with you and sent it to them in the mail and have a.
You know, this is kind of getting offensive.
They talk about all these jobs they're creating of this that and they're losing 500,000 a month.
Oh, I know it's terrible.
Just Michigan, of course, is I think the worst in the country.
Yeah, and who's been running that for a little while?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, stab me now, Levin, Grand Home, and the rest of them.
And it's it's so tiring, Rush.
You know, you call them, I've called them so many times you can't get through to them on the on the phone.
And if you email them, you get a form letter back, they they just skate all around uh any concerns that you have telling you that they're doing all they can.
Let me tell you something, and what what you're experiencing here is proof positive.
They know you want no part of this.
They don't care.
They know they can read the polls, they can measure the response coming into their offices.
They know you don't want it.
They know a majority of people have no desire for this.
That doesn't matter.
Therefore, we must ask ourselves why are they doing it?
Why are they so hellbent on all of this that nobody wants?
Cap and trade is based on a hoax.
Man made global warming.
The card check is based on destroying small business and bringing unions back to life as a SOP to them because of their big support for Obama.
Single payer universal health care is about government controlling virtually every aspect of your behavior.
They're going to have access to your digitized medical records.
They're going to have access to your computer.
I saw the other day, Hugo Chavez.
Did you see this snerdly?
Hugo Chavez just shut down 34 radio stations.
And I'm thinking Obama's looking at that and said, damn, someday.
Someday.
And he's having uh and and Raul Castro in Cuba said, Obama, you know, United States less aggressive under Obama.
But I was elected to improve and perfect the socialist system, and that's what I'm gonna Well, I cut they have what they what I say about Cuba last week.
They've cut off everything.
The country's falling apart even worse than it was.
Doesn't work.
So the question you need to ask yourself, folks, is they know you don't want any of this.
Why are they doing it?
And a very, very, very important question.
As we played for you the soundbites earlier from 2003 and 2007, Obama as a candidate telling two different union audiences of his intention to go single payer universal health care and to eliminate employer provided insurance health care benefits.
And we have Obama from this summer saying, no, no, no, you like your plan, you get to keep it.
The question you have to ask yourself is which Obama you're gonna believe.
It's up to you.
But you can't just say, are you gonna believe Obama?
Because a bunch of different Obamas that you gotta choose from to believe.
The answer is you don't believe Obama, you believe me.
Because I am not lying to you.
And you believe and trust your own instincts, too.
Your own instincts are telling you loud and clear that all of this is no good.
And it's not for anybody's benefit outside of Washington, D.C. or a state capital or two.
Your instincts listen to your instincts.
I mentioned earlier in the program there's a poster.
You can see it at Drudge.
Somebody with the with that does not like Obama has created in Los Angeles.
Posters of Obama made up as the Joker, Heath Ledger's joker in the latest Batman movie with the word socialism underneath it.
It's becoming cool.
It's not quite there yet, but it's becoming cool to make fun of Obama.
Some of the late night shows are now starting to make fun of Obama.
Is becoming cool to not like Obama.
And when that starts happening, when it becomes cool to stop trusting Obama and so forth, that's the tipping point.
But he doesn't care.
I mean, he no wrong thing to say.
He wants to be universally loved.
I mean, he's he he always has been his whole life.
I don't think he reacts well to criticism and so forth.
But whatever you want regarding this health care, the more you don't want it, the more it's gonna be rammed down your throat.
The more you don't want it, the more insistent they're gonna try to make you take it.
Because the bottom line is it isn't about you.
So you've got Obama all over the ballpark saying every possible thing about the health care plan, and you want to believe Obama, you've got a problem.
Which one?
Robert, State College, Pennsylvania, you're next in the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
We appreciate you, and uh it's an honor to it's a talk with you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Yes, sir.
Uh I'm a senior citizen.
I'm uh I'm 82 plus years, and uh I have a clear mind, and I'd like to live at least another 18 years for my family and to see my grandkids grow up and hopefully they even meet my great grandkids.
Well, I hate to be uh I hate I hate I hate to throw cold water on your desire to live 18 more years, but we better defeat Obama health care if you want that to happen.
Well, that's what I hope we can do.
And I thought of that and of the rationing and uh and all of that, health care rationing, and I thought, is there any other group of people out there who uh who will live uh uh who don't have uh long to live?
And uh uh maybe have two, three, four years to live.
And I thought of uh I thought of people who are HIV positive and or have AIDS, and they have only a short time to live.
And I thought now, are they being told the same thing about health care rationing that we're being told?
And uh, if not, uh why not?
And uh are we being treated differently or are they being tr treated differently than we are.
Well, uh we don't know yet how the pl uh how the plan would uh would would deal with HIV patients.
Um as opposed to how it would deal with the elders.
We we we have a good idea how it's gonna deal with the elderly.
Obama has said so.
Obama has said take the pain pill.
Yes.
Now, how how it deal with HIV, I've I could only hazard a guess.
And I'm I but because of uh liberal compassion and so forth, uh that there will be some special consideration for certain groups who are loyal supporters of Obama and and of uh and of Democrats, but I I'll I'll I bet you ten to one that uh even despite that, uh there are gonna be a whole lot of Obama supporters, shocked to hell to find out they aren't going to be treated for what they've got.
This plan can't pop we for quite a lot, folks.
We cannot manage a one billion dollar program that just trades in an automobile for a new we're talking about.
There was one more thing I was going to say to our last caller, our 82-year-old who desires to live 18 more years.
Uh it's a good thing he told me, and not Obama.
Can you imagine him going up in a town hall meeting?
I want to live 18 more years, and uh what uh what are my chances with the health care plan?
I'll take a pain pill is the answer.
I told you I know what the name of the government insurance company that's gonna be, all statist.
You're in good hands with all statists as long as you are under 60 in perfect health and agree to shut up when your taxes go up.
And if you don't like all statist insurance, you can go to statist farm.
Statist farm is a dual purpose, it's an insurance company, and it's actually a pasture where you get put out once you exceed the age where the administration thinks that it was worth investing in your health to keep you alive.
So you'll get two choices.
You're in good hands with all statists, or like a big brother, statist farm will be there.
All right, it's happened again.
I just received an audio sound bite from Kathleen at the audio soundbite roster desk this afternoon on the Senate floor, dingy Harry.
I can't blame people for wondering why, with an issue as important as health care now before us, bipartisan consensus sometimes seems so elusive.
So I say to them, this extreme brand of strategy and the extreme tactics that come with it are what we have to contend with.
First, Rush Limbaugh happily admitted he wants our president to fail.
And a Republican Senator openly admitted he wants to block the health insurance reform for millions as a way to quote break the president.
These partisan tactics have consequences.
These consequences will be evident on every kitchen table, every family budget, and every American's peace of mind.
And they're watching.
They are watching uh Dingy Harry and they don't like what they're seeing out of you.
Most people like their health coverage.
Most people do not hate their insurance company.
You're gonna have real tough sell this month if your objective is to demonize the insurance companies.
Now, Snerdley told me last week.
He came up to me, he said, if this health care bill goes down, I think you need to double your security, and I think you need to be very careful because they're gonna come after you.
You're gonna be the reason, you're gonna get the blame.
Lo and behold, the bill has not yet been stopped.
And the first person to blame for the lack of bipartisan consensus is Rush Limbaugh, me on the floor of the Senate.
Senator Reed, you don't need a single Republican to get sixty votes on this bill.
You don't need bipartisan consensus.
You might need it to come out of committee, but you don't need it for the final floor vote.
The same thing in the House.
They don't need one Republican vote to pass this.
If the Democrats can't pass this bill in either House, it's their problem within their own party.
They need a villain, however.
And somehow, even after all I've been through with Dingy Harry, somehow I still qualify.
Here's Beth in Winchester, Virginia.
Hi, Beth.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I just want you to know that you're not a villain.
You're an American hero.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
It is an honor to speak with you.
I have a comment about uh what's it?
Trina Thompson, uh suing Monroe University.
Yeah.
Okay, my comment is that um if she expects to get a job working in IT like my husband has, you have to work with professional people who take responsibility for their lives and their actions and finding their own employment, and they don't run off to their Marxist lawyer every time they don't get their way, or things don't happen the way they want them to.
She's not a person that is going to obtain one of these jobs.
She's she's proven to the world, she's announced to the world, um, you know, I'm not getting my way, so I'm a statist.
I'm going to get my Marxist lawyer, and that's it.
Well, let's not jump to too many conclusions here about Trina Thompson.
Let me tell the audience who she is in case there are new tuner-inners out there that don't know the story.
Trisha Thompson, Trina Thompson, 27 years old, got some sort of business bachelor's degree.
Uh from Monroe College in the Bronx, and she wants to be an IT information technology specialist.
She is suing the university to get her 70,000 tuition back because she hadn't found a job.
She got the degree in April.
She hadn't found a job.
She's suing them because they haven't helped her enough find a job.
It's because of her comment that they haven't helped her enough that is c uh causing the reaction you've had.
Yeah, yes, yes.
Exactly.
And I I can't I can't believe this is happening.
When you just cannot cannot believe what's going on in our culture where every time people don't get their way or things don't go exactly as they planned, they go find somebody to sue somebody else to blame.
Well, yeah, it's not yet cultural wide.
Uh, but I think there are uh in the in the younger age demographics.
Uh remember, we celebrate, we lionize youth.
I mean, youth is it.

And I think they have had these expectations that they get out of college and the job's there, and the house that they grew up in or a one like it is going to be there.

Folks, a great start to the week and we'll continue tomorrow.
