Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Not only is it a Black Friday for Democrats, hell it's a Black Friday for the media.
These people are in absolute shock.
They have been exposed.
Their corruption has been caught live in the act.
And who knew?
Who knew that the Olympic Committee was a bunch of racists?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Oh, man, oh man, oh man, the worst day of Obama's presidency, folks.
The ego has landed.
The world has rejected Obama.
Chicago, the least number of votes.
First elimination in the round of voting for the Olympics in 2016.
That just...
When you stop to think about it, folks, doesn't it make sense?
Our president, Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-mm.
Barack Hussein Obama had been running around the world for nine months, telling everybody how much our country sucks.
He's been running around the world apologizing for the United States of America.
Why would anybody award the Olympics to such a crappy place as the United States of America?
Oh man, folks.
I wonder how victory looks to Obama now.
That it has escaped him and passed him by.
He doesn't want to win in Afghanistan, but he certainly wanted to win in Chicago.
I think the world apparently wants the guy to fail.
Because Obama has failed.
The world rejected Obama first.
Of all the people, he rejected the world, rejected Michelle My Bell Obama.
world rejected the Oprah.
Folks, worst day of his presidency.
Honestly.
And this is the guy who is going to talk Iran into giving up its nukes.
Barack Hussein Obama.
Mmm.
Mm-mm.
Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-mm.
Gonna talk Iran into giving up their nukes.
Obviously, racism at play here, folks, waiting for the official word on that from Jimmy Carter.
You know, more transparency here in the uh Olympic voting than in writing a health care bill.
Chuck Todd over at MSNBC is just beside himself.
He just can't believe this.
None of these people in the drive-by's can believe this.
Chuck Todd went so far to say that Mayor Daly's the big loser here.
Mayor Daley.
So if the Olympics, if the Olympics uh had been awarded to Chicago, Mayor Daly would have gotten all the adulation, ha.
What about the world embracing Obama and America again?
What about that?
Well, the world hated us, you know, under George W. Bush, but now with Obama, the world was going to embrace us.
The world is going to love us and respect us.
Get this from the BBC today.
Adam Brooks in Chicago, the BBC News, the shock of Chicago's elimination was greater for the fact that it came in the first round and greater for the fact that President Obama had taken valuable hours from his packed intense political schedule to travel to Copenhagen.
It gets better.
Hang in there.
His legendary powers of persuasion will be said to have failed him, though in reality it will be Chicago's bid that failed Obama.
That's exactly what they say.
His legendary powers of persuasion.
This is the guy who's gonna talk Iran out of its nukes, right?
Legendary power of persuasion.
Well, he's said to have failed him, though in reality it'll be Chicago's bid that failed him.
This is a moment which allows the president's detractors to allege waning prestige on the part of his presidency, and it'll raise questions about the political advice he's receiving.
So it's Daly's fault.
Chuck Todd said it's Bear Daly's fault.
The BBC says it's Chicago's fault, and implies it might be Axlrod's fault and Ram Emanuel's fault.
Now you do have to ask yourself a question.
You do have to ask a serious question here.
Is this guy At the end of the day, a blithering moron.
How the hell does he allow himself as the great internationalist president and emperor of the world to fly to Copenhagen, give a big presentation?
By the way, I will bet you that the IOC had never seen a teleprompter until today.
He gave his presentation on a teleprompter.
So here he is, president of the world traveling to Copenhagen to give this big presentation.
And he gets turned down.
How could he possibly go over there without knowing this thing was in the bag?
This is foolish.
Presidents don't do this kind of thing.
You do not go unless you know you have it in the bag.
Unless you owe Mayor Daly.
I'm sure that he and he and Michelle thought they were going to pull this off just by showing up over there.
Is he such a fool that he doesn't realize that these people over there hate America more than they like him?
Does he not realize that they are delighted to make him look foolish in order to take a swipe at this country?
This is a greatest teaching moment for Obama, and he won't get it.
The people of the world hate this country more than they like him, and they don't like him all that much.
And he's going around the world saying, you know what?
Our country sucked until nine months ago.
And I ask you to look at all the positive things we've done in my administration.
So he goes over there and the world rejects Obama.
The world rejects Chicago.
And they obviously enjoyed doing it.
First round, Obama's gone.
Obama, Michelle Obama, the Oprah.
First round out.
He doesn't realize.
He actually doesn't realize that the hatred for this country has not abated.
And there may be some love for him, but I don't have that.
Certainly there's no respect for him.
And there certainly isn't a lot of love.
I mean, we're being governed by an imbecile, folks.
This does not happen.
This is why presidents don't go to these things.
You never know.
And by the way, how much did they spend on the bribes?
You know, how much did this actually cost whoever bribed them?
You know, you take two airplanes over there, you can load a lot of bribes in them.
I just I I think I think uh we got a metaphor for weakness here.
And by the way, this exposes, I think, uh, in real time, the corruption and fraud that is the U.S. media.
The U.S. media has had this in the bag all week long.
The U.S. media in fact, get this.
This just ran right before the vote on CNN.
Michelle Obama steals the show in Copenhagen.
Ed Henry, CNN, exposed as frauds in real time.
After flying through the night for seven hours aboard Air Force One, nobody would blame President Obama for being at least slightly groggy when he arrived in Copenhagen for a quick four hours to make the final pitch for Chicago.
Maybe that explains why the president seemed to snag the silver medal while First Lady Michelle Obama, who's been in Copenhagen a couple of days, clearly took the gold with an emotional speech focused on her family's roots in the south side of Chicago, Illinois, and her late father's battle with multiple sclerosis.
Again, she tells that story.
That was part of the Olympic pitch.
They just got rejected in the first round and CNN story.
Michelle Obama steals the show in Copenhagen.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Chuck Todd, just beside himself.
I think the the media still can't believe this.
They just can't believe it.
This is this morning live, PMS NBC.
After they report that Chicago was eliminated, the uh co-host Alex Witt says, hey, F. Chuck, it's a shock for us here in the studio.
So much momentum having built around Barack and Michelle going over there, yeah, Oprah to the mix.
It equals zero, by the way, folks, and it seemed golden.
Chuck, what happened?
What happened, Chuck?
Clearly, it wasn't a business decision.
If it was a business decision, I think you would see Chicago still around in Chicago end up with these games.
This is going to be one of those, you know, the instincts of this White House.
Weeks ago was to not buckle under the pressure from all of their Chicago friends saying, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta do it, you gotta do it.
And I'll tell you, you wonder if everything has an unintended consequence.
And it's just gonna be any anybody from Chicago trying to call in a favor now from this White House is probably gonna be thrown in at the back of the line after this.
Oh so you get it now, folks.
Obama didn't even want to go.
He didn't want to go.
Michelle didn't want to go.
It was Mayor Daly.
And it was Valerie Jarrett.
And it was all these corrupt Chicagoans who were going to sell property they own to the Olympic Committee or to whoever for big profits to build the now never happening Olympic village.
So those people in Chicago are gonna go to the back of the line.
Right.
Obama's gonna get spanked, is what's gonna happen.
Daly is gonna say, you boob.
How in the world could you blow this?
Like the BBC says, Chicago failed Obama.
Obama did not fail.
Chicago.
Uh after they reported that Chicago was eliminated.
Co-host Monica Novotney said, Jim Messina, you're live with us in Chicago.
Tell us about the reaction where you're standing as people hear the results of the first two rounds, Chicago out, and then Tokyo.
Well, I mean, it's nothing less than a bombshell here.
It absolutely contradicts the sense palpable at times of momentum that had been growing uh for Chicago, certainly over the past several weeks, but particularly in the last few days, starting with the arrival of the bid team.
The second guessing, the third guessing, whether Obama factored into it or not, whether there's anti-Americanism or some sense of in Europe, which of course Europe uh has the majority of IOC representatives, uh, whether they were simply were still resisting some kind of sense of American hegemony in sports, who knows what it was.
Uh, is this not great?
Is this not just delicious?
Now they acknowledge American hatred in Europe.
I guess Obama just isn't succeeding, huh?
Before it's all said and done, they're gonna blame me for spreading the vibe worldwide that I wanted Obama to fail.
Before it's all said and done, that'll happen.
Limbaugh wanted Obama to fail.
He started that vibe, he spread it all over the world.
So who got it?
Do have have they announced who got it yet?
I haven't I haven't been able to look at anything since the program started.
Last I saw, it was down to Madrid or Rio de Janeiro.
All right.
Twelve CNN's countdown clock, 12 more screw CNN.
They have been exposed as frauds in real time.
Michelle Obama steals the show.
I'll tell you what, while Michelle Obama's stealing the show, and Obama's giving 25 minutes to the general in Afghanistan, we hit 9.8% unemployment.
That's not even the whole picture.
Here's a quote from CNN.
Let's not panic about this report.
It's really not getting worse in most respects, he said.
We we we should see an end to job losses by the end of the year.
I expect uh three to four months uh we'll be talking about jobs being added, I hope.
That's an Obama administration official.
I hope three to four months, jobs being added.
How's that hope and change working out for you?
It might also be Bush's fault.
You know, that's what they'll do.
They'll blame Bush first and then me.
Bush so poisoned the atmosphere of the world against America that this was a swipe at Bush.
Not even the great persuasive powers of Obama could pull the irons out of the fire and bring this home to Chicago.
Want to hear a little bit about well, I gotta take a break here, but we got some sound bites of Obama begging over there in his uh in his presentation.
But uh, if really if I were Rio de Janeiro or Madrid, I would enlist Obama to lobby for the other country, thereby ensuring that my country would win.
If I'm Rio, I try to get hold of Obama before he leaves and go in there and make another pitch for Madrid.
Gotta take a brief time out here, folks.
Sit tight, and we'll be back and continue.
It's open line Friday, by the way.
Telephone number 800 282-2882.
The dirty little secret is that Chicago mayor Richard Daly knows all of Obama's dirty little secrets.
Obama was trapped.
He had to go.
I I you know, Obama's a global citizen, folks.
He doesn't like competition, he doesn't like winning, he doesn't like losing.
Uh he's He's the king of global citizens.
I never understood why he went to Copenhagen in the first place, lobbying for the Olympics to come to Chicago or anywhere in America.
I mean, look, we have 4% of the world's greatest athletes, and yet we win 25% of the gold medals.
It's just not fair out there.
I thought Obama stood for the notion that America is greedy, that America doesn't play well with its neighbors, and it's time to let others lead and let others have a piece of the action.
He ought to be arguing for the Olympics to be held somewhere else if he was being true to form, like Kenya.
But I actually think, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that we all let Obama down here.
We all could have done more to show our support for Obama.
I mean, after all, how many of us outside the news media got up this morning and said, What can I do to help Obama today?
Outside of a couple school kids in New Jersey and in uh in Tennessee, well, what did what are any of us doing to help Obama?
Barack Hussein Obama.
How many of you got up today and said that or thought that and asked yourself, what can I do to help Obama secure the Olympics for Chicago?
Not enough of us, obviously, helped out.
Here he is, Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-mm, trying his best to bring hope and change to Chicago via the Olympics.
And what did we do?
We let him down.
We went to work, those of us who have jobs, ignorantly, selfishly leaving our own lives.
We left it to Obama and Michelle and Oprah to bring the Olympics to Chicago.
Hi, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of all of you, on behalf of all Americans, I want to take this moment in time to apologize to President Obama, not just for me, but for the whole country.
We let him down.
And I want to apologize too to the Oprah.
We let her down too.
She gave a full week of taping shows, gave up a full week of taping shows to join Michelle Obama at Copenhagen.
What do we do?
Well, many of you decided to watch Judge Judy.
You didn't care about Oprah.
Many of you decided to watch Judge Brown.
Many of you decided to watch Letterman.
How's that working out for you?
Shame on you, shame on us.
This isn't Obama's loss, my friends, make no mistake.
This is our loss.
Let me put it this way.
Very simply, Barack Hussein Obama.
Mmm mmm, was trying to make Chicago a bright, shining cesspool on a hill, and now look at what happened.
He'll now use his well-honed persuasive skills, which he showed off in Copenhagen with the Iranians.
This is the guy who's going to talk the Iranians into giving up their nuclear weapons.
Look for the headline later today.
America loses Olympics.
Limbaugh ecstatic.
Obama loses.
Embarrassed in Denmark.
So my friends, the uh the ego has landed.
This is what happens.
Barack Obama has failed.
I have spread that vibe around the world.
After all, if you run around apologizing for America, if you act embarrassed for your country, if you run around the world and tell everybody all the things this country's done wrong, why would you expect anyone to want to come here and bring the Olympics here?
Well, if you have this massive ego that says people love you even though they hate America.
In fact, they love you so much they now love America.
If you have that kind of a massive ego, then you might run around and behave that way.
Listen to some of Obama's begging here.
This was this morning in Copenhagen.
There is nothing I would like more than to step just a few blocks from my family's home with Michelle and our two girls, and welcome the world back into our neighborhood.
At the beginning of this new century, the nation that has been shaped by people from around the world wants a chance to inspire it once more.
And the world flipped him off.
The world gave him a gesture.
The world said it ain't about you walking out your door with your daughters and welcoming the world back into your neighborhood.
It isn't about you, Obama.
At the beginning of this new century, the nation has been shaped by people from around the world wants a chance to inspire it once more.
Mr. President, America inspires the world just by being.
America inspired the world long before you were born.
We will inspire the world long after your presidency, despite your efforts to impugn this nation.
Obama needs a distraction, folks.
It's back to Letterman.
Has to be next week.
How about this?
David Letterman, after mocking Sarah Palin and her family and her children and talking about being knocked up and so forth, goes out last night and admits to his audience that he has had affairs with members of his staff, and the doofus audience laughs about it and applauds him.
Man, the corruption's everywhere.
Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm.
Mm-mm.
Who knew the IOC was racist, folks?
Who knew?
Couple of observations.
Barack Hussein Obama negotiated with the International Olympic Committee without preconditions.
Just as he said he would negotiate with Mahmoud Ahmadini Zad.
and poor Michelle, all of her sacrifice.
You realize what a sacrifice that she said she had made for the children of the world and for the children of Chicago.
She went over there with the Oprah.
Three of the world's most influential, powerful African Americans rejected their sacrifice, laughed at.
My friends, all of these sacrifices in vain.
And now Valerie Jarrett and others, the Obama administration who own property in Chicago, are going to have to hire some maintenance companies and some exterminators to fix up the slums that she owns.
She was hoping to sell those slums to the Olympic village people.
Now she's going to have to actually maintain those slums and hire some exterminators to get the cockroaches out of there, since they're not going to be torn down for the building of the Olympic village.
Now, that's what I call shovel-ready jobs.
Shovel-ready jobs now available in Chicago.
Valerie Jarrett's property ready for the exterminators, Colom Delay, and the maintenance guys to come in and make it a habitable for the people who are paying her rent.
So speaking of the sacrifices, the wonderful sacrifices made by Michelle Obama.
Here is a portion of her remarks.
Her pitch.
Her pleading and begging with the International Olympic Committee.
And my dad's early 30s, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
That again.
And as he got sicker, it became harder for him to walk, let alone play his favorite sports.
Oh no.
My dad was my hero.
Oh no.
And when I think of what these games can mean to people all over the world.
Oh no.
I think about people like my dad.
You do?
People who face seemingly insurmountable challenges, but never let go.
They work a little harder, but they never give up.
And at this point, the entire Olympic committee was puking, was throwing up.
Who did these people think we are?
Do they actually think we care about them?
We are interested in who is going to pay us off the most in order to get these games in their town.
We want to know where David Letterman's going to round up the women for us.
We want to know the real on-the-ground stuff, and you're telling us about your neighborhood and your daughters walking outside the house to greet people of the world and your father with Multiple sclerosis and how hard he worked, and you're comparing him to Olympic athletes?
Did your dad ever take steroids?
Get serious!
We are going to throw up.
I can't believe this is what they're all saying at the IOC.
I can't believe you came over here and embarrassed yourselves and us with this kind of pleading.
Now, folks, seriously.
This is weakness on display.
This is reminiscent of Michael Dukakis in the tank as Beetle Bailey, and Jimmy Carter saying he killed a killer rabbit that attacked him when he was on a canoe somewhere on some obscure river in Georgia.
Those were metaphors for weakness.
And they stuck because Dukakis and Carter were in fact weak.
They both became objects of derision.
Obama will never live this down like Dukakis will never live down the Beatle Bailey moment when he grabbed, grabbed a helmet and got in a tank and drove around, and Jimmy Carter announcing that he killed a slate a killer rabbit that attacked him in a canoe.
President Obama has brought weakness his own to a head now.
He has wasted his country's time and his prestige in the economy, the military, and is now symbolically captured with his failure with the Olympics.
9.8% unemployment.
Administration officials say three to four months more of this, maybe, and then we're going to start seeing jobs added.
I thought Obama had saved 23 million jobs.
I thought uh he and Obama, or he and Biden had saved all these jobs.
Now the administration said, well, three or four more months, and um maybe we'll have some job growth, we hope.
Obama demeaned the office of the presidency going on this sales pitch for Chicago's corrupt profiteering.
Everybody knows that's what this was about.
Corruption and patronage on a grander scale than ever before.
That was the opportunity Mayor Daly and everybody saw, and they sent Obama off to secure it.
And I'll tell you another reason he decided to go, not just because Daly sent him, but Obama needed to distract everybody's attention from his massive failures at home and abroad.
The North Koreans are nuking up, the Iranians are nuking up.
We pull a missile shield, the Russians are nuking up, the Russians are expanding, they're huffing and puffing, our unemployment's at 9.8%.
Health care is an absolute disaster in Congress.
The stimulus bill is not working.
There is not approval for the president in glowing numbers.
There's angst and anger, and so off he goes to make a great sacrifice.
With Michelle on 747, Michelle out of 757 the day before, a couple days before.
Great sacrifices for the children of Chicago and the world.
Our economy crumbling right before our eyes, our military being undermined by Obama playing politics with health care.
Obama has been rejected by the American people in the polls here at home.
Now he has been rejected by the world.
The International Olympic Committee.
A bunch of thieves in their own right.
Corrupt organization as you can get.
They looked at Chicago and Obama and said, nope, we can do better elsewhere.
We're the ones that fleece people when we show up.
And we're not going to share the spoils with you.
We'll go to Rio.
They're desperate to have us.
They'll let us steal whatever we want.
The Olympics was a domestic distraction that became an international embarrassment.
Weakness, seriously now, folks.
This is a moment of weakness, and weakness invites trouble.
You think I'm laughing.
What do you think is happening in Tehran?
What do you think is happening inside the KGB in Moscow?
What do you think that little potbellied dictator over in Pyongyang is doing right now?
What do you think Hugo Chavez is doing?
What about Moamar Qaddafi?
Are these guys sad?
Or are they secretly rubbing their hands together in Glee?
What about Fidel Castro?
And Raul Castro.
What about all of these people around the world?
What about the people of Czech Republic?
What about the people in Poland?
What about the people in Afghanistan?
What about the people in Iraq?
United States humiliated.
This is not supposed to happen to Barack Hussein Obama.
No, it's supposed to happen to George Bush.
Obama's weakening the country in fact and in perception.
Nothing good will come of this.
And again, I want to ask you a question, very seriously.
How does are we actually being governed by an imbecile?
Because this was a stupid place.
I don't care what Mayor Daly has on you.
I don't care what Mayor Dale Daly is threatening to expose.
You are president of the United States.
There are certain things.
This is why, whenever in the old days we had an agreement on anything with the Russians, it was always done first.
The illusion was the Russians and the Americans are getting together for sensitive talks.
And at the end of the talks, there was great fanfare and celebration.
We came to a deal, we came to a deal.
Oh, it's wonderful, the world is safe again.
Gorbachev will save us.
Now the deals hammered out long before the two sides ever get together.
Diplomats get together with each other and hammer out the details, and the two world leaders show up, shake hands, and go through the motions of making it look like they did it.
It's like you remember Ali North before the Iran Contra Committee.
Those Democrats, they thought they were gonna nail Reagan via Ali North.
They thought they had Reagan in their crosshairs, they thought they were gonna North was gonna dump all over him.
They made a fatal mistake.
They didn't depose North before his testimony.
They had no idea what he's gonna say.
Their arrogance made them certain they were going to be able to trip him up, and in such North ran rings around him.
Well, the IOC and the world has run rings around Barack Obama.
It is not coincidental, and it is not insignificant that Chicago was first out.
That Chicago was eliminated first.
I mean, this was a bitch slap, folks.
Upside the head.
And what kind of an imbecile allows this to happen when you are president of the United States?
You go over there without having it in the bag.
He doesn't realize the IOC and pretty much all Europeans hate America more than they like him.
He doesn't understand how delighted the world is to make him look foolish in order to take a swipe at our country.
We've got a two-year-old man child with a Mars-size ego.
Which today crashed and burned.
You want to hear a little sample of media shock and dismay.
This morning, um.
Well, no, that's coming up later.
This is even better.
This is this morning, early today on PMSNBC.
The reporter is Natalie Morales.
And the sum total of this bite, which you will hear is the rock star Obamas have clinched it.
A lot of confidence here from the Chicago delegation, uh, particularly after the president and first lady made such a passionate and emotional appeal to the IOC voters here.
It really seems at this point, uh, if I'm quoting a couple of sports writers that I've talked to, that it is Chicago's really to lose.
Now that the president has spoken and the first lady made such a lasting impression here.
Um, you know, it it remains to be seen what will happen in the next couple of hours because it's scheduled to go for a vote about 1230 Eastern time.
But uh a lot of people feeling like this is Chicago's time.
And she continued with this.
Oh, it was crazy.
We have in the press, we were all standing there waiting to see if the president first lady would even walk by us, but he kind of got stuck behind a wall as uh the IOC pretty much rushed him.
Everybody seemed to really want their picture with the president, shaking hands, and of course, the IOC voters trying to appear somewhat impartial, but you could tell that they too felt the rock star power there that the president and first lady were exuding.
This is the fraud is happening in real time.
Media corruption being exposed in real time.
They were rock stars.
Oh, it was so it was it's it's in the bag.
Uh, it's Chicago's to lose now that the president has spoken and the first lady made such a lasting impression.
Yeah, but what kind?
And then, of course, my favorite CNN Ed Henry.
Just a half hour before the vote, Michelle Obama steals the show in Copenhagen.
Never before has such fraud and corruption been so openly exposed in real time of the United States media.
Back in a moment.
You know, like I always say, folks, and I've been saying it since the primaries, Obama cannot win in a fair vote.
He the only thing missing in that vote over today was Acorn.
And he had acorn representation, stuffing ballot boxes, registering fake IOC members.
And maybe Chicago would have had a chance.
But Obama couldn't do that.
He couldn't get Acorn over there.
See, Obama doesn't debate people.
He clears the field, and he couldn't clear the field today.
So I'm waiting for the I'm I'm waiting for Gibbs and the uh the White House um uh daily press briefing.
I want to hear Gibbs blame Copenhagen Talk Radio and the vast right-wing conspiracy in Scandinavia that destroyed this great chance for our wonderful president.
I want to hear Carville and Bagala and F. Chuck Todd all get together and say this is actually a smart move on the part of Obama.
This clears the way for Chicago to get the Olympics in 2020.
They'll try to turn it into some positive spin.
Oprah's so distraught she just ate Norway, I'm told.
And that's gotta be bad for uh Norway.
Michelle My Bell in a funk has ordered Air Force One to Paris for the whole week next week for shopping therapy.
I'm wondering if Tony Resco's still around.
Resco send Obama dead fish in the mail to uh Chicago.
Rio got it.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro got it.
Let me let me tip it, Rio de Janeiro.
You don't want to go there.
People get kidnapped.
The crime thuggery in Rio de Janeiro.
I I've wanted to go so many times.
People have been there, don't go.
Worse, well, maybe toss up with Chicago.
I don't know.
But once they don't have enough hotel rooms.
They held the Pan American games in Rio.
They made all kinds of promises to the Pan American Games Committee, building stadiums.
They never fulfilled the promises.
The stuff never got it was it was it was a disaster.
But uh anyway, Rio de Janeiro gets the Olympics in 2016.
You want to hear something funny and pleasurable?
This is CNN Live.
Anchor Tony Harris covering the announcement that Chicago was eliminated from the Olympic race in the first round of voting.
Let's take you to Copenhagen right now, where we're about to get an announcement of the first city outs.
Let's have a listen.
Let's have a listen.
Books given 95.
Participants 94.
Abstention nil.
Void nil.
Fallit Ballots 94.
The city of Chicago, having obtained the least number of votes, will not participate in the next round.
Chicago is out.
Chicago is out.
Madrid is still in.
Tokyo is still in.
Wait a minute.
Chicago is out?
I want to hear the sound in the room.
Let's let's listen to the sound in the room.
Take us back to Copenhagen.
Chicago is out?
Madrid's in?
Tokyo's Chicago is out.
Wait a minute.
That's Tony Harris.
State-controlled CNN live in a state of disbelief that Chicago was voted out first.
And how about that was Jacques Rogue, who was the uh president of the IOC.
Does that guy not sound like a bond villain or what?
It's gonna be a lovely weekend at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
They've sent Axel Rod, he's been out there everywhere today since the vote said, Oh, we don't care about politics.
That was purely political vote over there, and we uh we we don't care about politics.
I have those uh those soundbites uh coming up.
Now, folks, I was I was watching the room.
I had it on in here.
Uh well, the computer streaming, and I was watching the room.
Uh and and and I was when they were about to make the announcement that it was uh Rio.
The mood in that room was uh vivacious.
It was a bullion.
They were they were fantastic, they were happy.
And that was not the mood when Chicago was making its presentation.
There was no joy during the Chicago presentation earlier today.
And why would there?
You have these two Obama people come up there and they start telling their own personal sob stories as though Chicago deserves the Olympics because the Obamas were born.
And because their father has MS. And uh Obama, of course, had a typical white grandmother he had to put up with.
And uh he wanted to be able to walk outside his door.
Tony Rescoe's neighborhood with his daughters, go out and see the people of the world gathering to.
I mean, morons, ego-obsessed imbeciles on parade representing the United States.
