Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 Podcast.
My friends, have you seen the news today?
Have you taken time to look at the news today?
Obama's America.
On full display.
Greetings and great to have you with us, Rush Limbaugh, on the fastest three hours in media, the Rush Limbaugh program, the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
All right, folks, let me let me tell you uh what I now can tell you about the National Football League, the St. Louis Rams, and uh my participation in a group to uh the seeking to buy St. Louis Rams.
This set and there's uh a lot of things I've not been able to say because we were bound by a confidentiality agreement that uh all of the bidding groups have with Goldman Sachs, which is uh the broker handling the potential sale.
But now that I'm no longer part of a group, uh there's some things that I can tell you that are fascinating that you probably don't know.
And not about me, and not about the the bid per se, but what really led to this result taking place.
Now let me first trace my interest in this goes back to um maybe the first part of this year, I forget exactly when it was, but when it was when it was uh made public that the St. Louis Rams might be for sale.
And I said, Oh, that's cool.
And uh I said something about it on the radio, and I kind of and then the St. Louis media started calling me.
Are you really gonna put in a bid for the Rams?
I said, I can't I can't talk about that.
I've not talked to anybody at the Rams.
I've just I've always had a dream of uh, you know, being involved in the National Football League, being an owner and so forth and so on.
And it went on for a period of weeks and months, and it would go dormant for a while, and it would come back to life.
And one Saturday, I was out playing golf at Donald Trump's course here in West Palm Beach, and as I hit the practice range, I uh saw a guy that I had met a couple of times previously, Dave Checkitz.
And Dave Checkitz said, You know, this Rams thing is real, and I really would love to talk to you about it.
I said, okay.
So we set a date, and Dave Checkets and a mutual friend came to my home.
I served them lunch, and Checkitz made his pitch.
This is what we think it's gonna take.
This is what we would like from you.
Uh we would like you very much to be part of this.
Uh they had some uh you know a brief preliminary financial breakdown of uh what was involved here, but at the point at that point in time nobody knew anything because the bids hadn't taken place and the the uh status of the Rams as a business wasn't known, so it was it was preliminary.
And based on what he showed me, I said, okay, I'm in.
So he came to me, probably with knowledge I had interest in this, but I met him on a on the practice range at a golf course.
He came to my home some weeks later.
It was either late May or early June, and uh about an hour and a half or two hours, and we sealed the deal, and that was that.
And I said to him at this meeting, I said, Are you aware of the fire storm that's going?
Oh, yes, totally aware, Rush, and believe me, I wouldn't have approached you if I hadn't taken care of that.
I would not have even come and asked you to be part of the group if I had not cleared uh your involvement with people at highest levels of the National Football League.
And my mistake uh at that point was not asking him, are do you really mean it?
And who did you speak to?
He gave me a couple of names that pretty high up and led me to believe that uh it was uh it was it was all handled and he was he was uh fully prepared for what was going to happen.
When the whole thing started to unravel last week, whenever the whoever, whenever this thing leaped, and by the way, I uh I learned yesterday that George Soros might be in this group.
Reuters had a story that George Soros is one of Dave Checkett's partners.
I did not know that.
I I wasn't told that.
Uh the Mr. Check It's not the primary uh partner here.
The uh NFL has a rule that the primary owner has to have 30% equity in the team.
And our group lost our 30% equity guy, and we had to scramble and find a new one.
And I don't I was told who it was, but now I'm wondering if it was Soros, and I wasn't told.
Soros and Checkitz did, I have learned, partner together previously to try to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers.
So, and of course, Mr. Soros is well known politically for his left-wing slants, um, his uh his politics fits in perfectly apparently with what the National Football League is becoming, but I wonder if they know that he is also involved in a movement to legalize marijuana and how that will play as the owners decide whether or not he's fit.
I not and this is all speculative because I don't know that he's in the group.
Reuters uh reported it uh yesterday.
So when this all started to unravel with uh the leaking of my being part of the uh group, the predictable fire storm started, and I said, are you guys prepared here?
Do you understand what's going on?
Oh, yeah, we want you, we want you to be on a partner.
We don't worry, Rush, I would not have gone this far if I hadn't wired this before I even spoke to you.
Now remember, I did not seek them out.
They sought me out.
They came here to my home.
So eventually, when DeMorris Smith, and he may pronounce it De Maurice, I'm not sure, Demar Smith is the new executive director of the National Football League Players Association, he sent a letter uh to the Commissioner Roger Gooddell, strongly objecting to my being anywhere near the National Football League on the basis that I don't unify.
I'm a divider and divisive and this sort of thing.
And then of course the two race hustlers, the Reverend Jackson and the Reverend Sharpton got involved.
And uh I got a call on Tuesday night from uh from Dave Checkitz, I'm sorry I have to I have to ask you to withdraw.
And I said, I thought you had this wired.
I thought, well, Rush, I uh I obviously I'm sorry, I feel terrible about this, but I just we can't go forward with you in the group.
And I said, Well, I'm not gonna withdraw.
If you want me out, you go public and fire me.
Which he did.
He sent me a letter yesterday afternoon, right after the program, and told me that the announcement would come this morning.
And he wanted me to know that it was a very tough personal decision for him to make.
He had a lot of respect for me, but uh.
Well, I got to the airport, uh, Kath and I flew to Missouri last night for a uh a family dinner in Cape Girardeau, and and had to go to St. Louis first to pick up some of the family.
And then back down to Cape Girardeau.
And by the way, we um we arrived back in Palm Beach at what was it, 2.30?
Something like that.
And White Crew says, the airport's closed.
We got to go to Fort Lauderdale.
Do you want to rent a car and drive home?
Do you want them to drive your car down to the airport?
What?
The airport's closed.
For what?
I don't know.
Repairs, made it whatever it was.
So we landed at Fort Lauderdale and and uh slept for two hours on the airplane.
We got wheels up back home at 5.30 and rolled into the house at 6.
And I got about an hour's worth of sleep.
But my point is when I got on the airplane yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, I got my iPhone, and it's already on ESPN that uh that I've been dropped.
I was uh thinking it wasn't gonna happen until this morning, is what Check It's said, but obviously that all leaked.
So the um the thing that's happened here now, the very the very slippery slope, and this, by the way, is very crucial.
I know a lot of you Rush, don't be distracted.
Don't be I I'm not being distracted because what is happening to the National Football League and what is about to happen to it has already happened to Wall Street, has already happened to the automobile business.
DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the Players Association, Is an Obamaite.
He's donated to Obama.
He's a Washington lobbyist at Patton Boggs.
And I think he even served on Obama's transition team.
He has no experience in professional sports.
The National Football League's agreement, collective bargaining agreement with the players expires soon.
Next year, the salary cap, if they don't get a new deal done, next year the salary cap will go away.
And after that, there is a fear that the owners who think they're giving up too much of the gross in salary compensation players might lock them out.
Work stoppage.
This is something that the players association doesn't want, obviously.
And the real reason, the real reason, and there are many, many reasons that are valid, but the real reason that pressure was brought upon me by Sharpton and Jackson and DeMaurice Smith and the Commissioner is that the players association is using my involvement of the Rams in this whole episode as a bit of leverage in their negotiations,
the upcoming negotiations with the league and with the owners on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Now there are that that is what's really going on.
And the players' association, I don't know how many players know this, but uh Mr. Smith has let it be known that if he has to, he'll bring the White House into this.
So Obama's America is quite possibly going to include the National Football League.
And pressure from Obama, Congressional Black Caucus, and other places might be brought to bear on the owners.
And I can't imagine that that's anything they want.
You know, they're as all businesses are they're regulated to a certain extent by uh the federal government, but this this would be a huge expansion of that, and that threat is um is being bandied about.
And I don't expect any the the owners are not going to admit that.
They they don't want uh I I'm sure that the reaction to this today was Limbaugh, I don't know what he's talking about, it'll be another one of these things.
But that is one of the things that I do know is uh is going on behind the scenes.
And of course, to make me the the poster boy here for oh my god, look, these guys, would they ever consider limball?
It's just it's designed to intimidate the owners, frighten the owners, say, we're running this league now, gang, not you.
Even though you may own the teams, we're running it, not you.
And uh this little warning shot fired across the bow to the owners, say, get ready, here we come for the next collective bargaining agreement, and uh so we'll see how it all unfolds.
The end result of this, folks, let me let me let me run through it very, very quickly.
I have lost nothing.
I have lost very little.
On the other hand, our country has lost a great deal, a lot more than most people realize at the moment.
Well, yeah, I mean, I I would have been uh preferred to be noted as a part owner of an NFL team.
By the way, my stake was minority.
I was a minority, and Sheckitz has made it clear in his statement that I would have had no operational control over the uh over the team and the and the operation of the club.
Uh I was also not told that specifically, but regardless, that that doesn't matter.
What I'm now going to be known as is the mirror.
I am the man who showed the country what America is becoming.
I still love professional football.
I'll still love the people that play it and admire them.
And I'll probably end up remaining the biggest non-paid promoter of the sport.
But those people who enable this event for their own racial Reasons for their own ratings, their own fundraising, their own FaceTime, their own business reasons.
They're going to be just as unhappy as they were before this happened.
It's a collection of unhappy, angry, agitated people, and that's not going to change.
But this kind of stuff, this misreporting, malreporting, lying, repeating the lies while also saying limbaugh denies, repeating the made-up quotes, the blind hatred, and believe me, the hatred that exists in this is found in the sports writer community.
It's found in the news business.
It's found in the race hustler business.
As I said yesterday, and I've said I don't know how many times in this program, I love the National Football League.
I don't dislike anything about it.
I'm a fan.
But the hatred that I am able now to mirror for the country to see is all over the place.
And I tell you with absolute sincerity, I am more sad for our country than I am for myself.
I'll be uh right back after this.
Do not go away.
These are dark days that we face, and I'm not talking about the National Football League or me.
I'm talking about my newest stack today.
Back after this.
Don't go away.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh serving humanity simply by showing up.
I see.
During the break, I was uh watching television.
President Obama has landed in New Orleans.
Now everybody thinks he's going to New Orleans to show concern and to investigate the recovery efforts there from Hurricane Katrina.
And I got a couple stories about this today.
The LA Times, Obama's set for first visit to New Orleans as president.
Uh, and but the story is full of quotes from people.
He's gonna be here, what?
Four hours?
He's gonna do a town meeting and in split?
Why, this is no different than a flyover.
They're not all that happy.
But let me tell you what the purpose is.
Obama is going in to inspect the destruction in New Orleans to see how the rest of the country is going to look after he finishes implementing all of his agenda.
Because we are all headed for a hurricane Katrina to wipe out portions of this country, just as it has in Detroit without any levees breaking.
Um Barack Obama is Hurricane Katrina without the wind and without the rain.
In a matter related to my circumstances and situation in the National Football League, this headline from the Politico, Democrats launch attack on insurers.
The long-simmering tension between insurers and congressional Democrats is erupting into open warfare with lawmakers stepping up, their push to revoke a key federal protection for the insurance industry.
Senator Chuck Hugh Schumer said yesterday, calling for an amendment to the health care reform bill that would remove the longstanding antitrust exemption for insurers.
This is uh echoed by a push by other Democrats to crack down on the industry.
Democrats are salivating at the prospect of conquering another large swath of the private sector.
The last time the Democrats tried to ram through a health care takeover, their big villain was the pharmaceutical industry.
And Hillary Clinton said we'd need demons, and I got one, the pharmaceutical industry.
Now Democrats are ratcheting up a smear campaign against the insurance industry.
In July, Nancy Pelosi labeled insurance companies villains, calling them almost immoral.
This week, Senator Jay Rockefeller called big insurance the greatest impediment to real health care reform.
Staffers of Senator Baucus told insurance lobbyists that criticism of his bill would be interpreted as a hostile act to punish the insurance industry for their report warning that premiums will rise under Democrat legislation, Chuck Schumer threatening to revoke their antitrust exemption.
Insurance companies are the latest on a long line Of public enemies number one of the Democrat Party.
Another of their public enemies, you remember those evil doctors.
Obama himself claimed that they performed unnecessary amputations and tonsolectomies simply to line their pockets.
Remember, Obama and the Democrats also railed against Wall Street executives, whom they're now paying off with uh bailout money that's our tax money.
And then they took over the industry.
They lambasted the villains who funded student loans before they took over that business.
They also tore into the evil auto executives who flew corporate jets to Washington for hearings before they took over the auto industry.
Of course, the Democrats never identify the biggest villain most responsible for escalating health care costs, and that's them.
Federal programs they passed decades ago distort the marketplace, rampant with fraud.
And up next, the National Football League.
The Democrat Party and Obama's America.
It's right in front of you, folks.
A couple of things.
I um unchecking a lot of emails from people today in both the public email address that I give out here on the radio and the uh subscriber email address at Rushlimbaugh.com, and there's an overwhelming sentiment.
Sue them, sue them to bankruptcy, and go after Sharpton and Jackson.
We did that yesterday, folks.
If you'll go to Rush Limbaugh.com.
It wasn't enough.
It wasn't enough.
Did the whole third hour on it, snurtly?
What more could we point at?
Oh, I'm not that what I can't my new favorite word is sue.
Sue, sue, sue.
People are demanding.
Sue em, sue them, sue them.
Go up.
I know we had to listen to Sharpton all.
I've got the sound bites from Sharpton all night.
I didn't have your television on last well, we did on the airplane.
We had a close captioning on, watching some stuff, but uh on the on the flight out to Missouri.
Look, folks, but can't sue on the website.
No, that's not your mis misconstruing.
Uh people you gotta go after Sharpton and Jackson.
Uh maybe people mean sue, but we went after them yesterday, and all of it uh is is at Rushlimbaugh.com.
It's highlighted there.
You um you cannot, you cannot miss it.
I'm also, it was it was uh fascinating to watch my email from the moment this first leaked on ESPN that Dave Checkets was kicking me out of the group.
I started getting requests from media people.
We'd love to have you.
Could you come on?
Could you tell us what you think?
Multiple questions, could you please answer these?
I'm sitting there and I'm saying to myself, why should I say another syllable to these people?
They make it up anyway.
They do not report accurately what I do say.
They make it why should I why should I give these people any of my time talking to them?
I spent a lot of time email back and forth with Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post.
And I gave him the truth from the get-go, uh, other than some of the things I said today, which I couldn't say, but basically about these made-up quotes.
And you know what?
The he writes a column day in the Washington Post that is as though I never spoke to him.
That my side of this made no impact on him.
And it seems that the reaction of the uh the sports media, which is really dominated by uh uh racial bigots of all races, seems to be, well, even if you didn't say it, we know you think it.
Even if you didn't say it, it's sort of like Dan Rather.
Remember, Dan Rather made up those phony documents about Bush and the National Guard.
And when they were proven to be phony, Dan rather said, no, they're still accurate.
They may be phony, but it still happened.
I believe this story.
I I believe the story, even though my documents may be fraudulent, I don't even think he even admitted that.
So they get a template, they get a narrative in their mind.
And one of the narratives is that conservatives, not just me, folks, it's not just about me.
Conservatives, racist sex is big and homophobe.
That's the starting point.
So when they think that's what you are, it doesn't matter what you say.
We got a soundbite here from Warren Moon, who basically Says, well, even if he didn't say that, I don't even want to ponder what's really in his head.
Warren Moon, a black quarterback in the National Football League.
Played for the Houston Oilers.
They've met him a couple times.
So that's how this all plays out and uh and how it happens.
So talk to the media.
For what purpose?
I'm much rather enjoy talking to you.
They can.
If they want to talk to me, if they want to find out what I think, all they have to do is go get a radio.
It's not that hard.
Dark days.
Dark days.
America's largest business group.
This is this is just shocking.
If this doesn't tell you where we are, nothing will.
The United States Chamber of Commerce is spending 25 million dollars on something that in years past would have been considered completely unnecessary.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is launching an advertising campaign to extol the virtues of free market enterprise.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce feels the need to spend 25 million dollars to tell the American people what capitalism is.
Explaining the goals of the campaign, the chamber president Thomas Donahue said America needs 20 million new jobs to re-employ the unemployed and keep pace with our population growth.
The government can support a few jobs in the short run, but over the long run, only the private sector, powered by free enterprise, can keep America working.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is having to spend 25 million dollars.
What in the hell do we have a public school system for?
When Donahue said the campaign isn't intended to be a partisan campus, it's partisan.
Capitalism is now partisan.
Capitalism, free market capitalism in America.
They accuse him of being partisan.
State-controlled journalists were skeptical when Donahue said this isn't a partisan campaign.
After all, reported the AP, the chambers campaign appears to challenge some of Obama's job creation rhetoric and initiatives.
Well, isn't that interesting?
And isn't it interesting that Rush Limbaugh, potential owner in the National Football League, also questions Obama's policies and his agenda?
And isn't it interesting that one of his henchmen now runs the players' union?
And isn't it interesting that a former player who's now a writer for the Washington Post, Roman Oban, writes or admits in an interview, yeah, yeah, I mean, Limbaugh disagrees to Clinton, he disagreed with Obama, and this is what happens to you.
We have that sound by two.
A former player.
You disagree with Obama and you say the things that Limbaugh's, this is what happens.
So the U.S. Chamber of Commerce president says, yeah, I got a $25 million.
They had a press conference to announce this.
$25 million ad campaign to teach people about free market capitalism, and the AP is skeptical that it's not partisan, as he says.
After all, the chambers campaign appears to challenge some of Obama's job creation rhetoric and initiatives.
Well, Hell's Bells.
He's going to drastic take drastic steps to do anything to create jobs.
Do people even listen to what this guy says?
Nope, they listen to how he says it.
As prime examples, AP cited Obama's proposals to create a new financial consumer protection agency and the Democrats' cap and tax energy plans.
Mr. Donahue correctly responded, uh, those plans will weigh down America's once vibrant capital markets with excessive regulations.
It'll raise taxes on our most productive citizens.
AP remains skeptical.
Because this contradicts Obama's job creation rhetoric and initiatives.
Not even AP can say Obama's job creation because there isn't any.
Now, a few short years ago, my friends, it would have been unthinkable that the Chamber of Commerce would need to spend $25 million defending the idea that jobs are best created in the private sector.
Let alone defending free enterprise, a cornerstone of our greatness.
Yet here we are, Obama's America.
Ten short months into Obama's rule.
Ten short months into the Democrat Party with an iron fist.
Aimed at this country.
Fighting.
Ten months.
We are in just ten months we are fighting to keep America and the American dream alive.
These are dark days.
To the phones, Mark in Philadelphia.
You're up first.
Great to have you with us.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'd ask you how you're doing today, but that's kind of the reason I'm calling.
I'm calling to thank you for the way that you handled this opening monologue and uh the beginning of this show.
When I got the news last night or heard over the radio that uh you were out of the group that was buying Rams, I just was just very, very discouraged.
It just seemed to me like it was a conservative need not apply kind of situation that didn't bode well for anyone, and especially for you.
And when you came in this afternoon with your show, you just lifted my spirits back up by showing that you still have grace and class, and even though adversity is all around, uh, you don't have to be taken down by it.
Well, like I said, I haven't lost anything here.
Yeah.
I haven't lost anything.
Well, you know, my staff, my trusted and loyal and highly overrated, by the way, staff.
They're angry.
They think I have lost something.
Reputation and this sort of thing.
But look at um, I was telling Mark, I told him I'm gonna take the high road here.
Uh the air's cleaner, there's a lot less traffic up there on the on the high road.
And Snerdly shout at me, screw the high road, sue them, sue them, zoo them.
Well, you can't.
I feel like I'm listening to Johnny Casting, a boy named Sue.
Yeah.
Well, you have taken the high road rush, but I mean, I guess if I want to say I want to disagree a little bit, what you have lost is an opportunity, and the reason you lost it is because you're conservative, and that really hurts.
It hurts all of us.
That's exactly right.
That was my point yesterday.
Yeah.
It's about much more than me.
This is just the latest assault on people who believe in rugged individualism and liberty and freedom, who threaten the whole notion of state controlled tyranny and and uh the central command authority, uh, which is what is typified by the Obama administration, and now the the uh the Democrat Party.
Look, I have to take a break.
Mark, thanks so much for the call.
Appreciate it.
We'll be back with more right after this.
Don't go away.
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right.
We got a, by the way, a flash audit update based on my comments regarding the National Football League and my bid with the Rams and Sullivan Group flashed me a new update, and I gone up.
My accuracy rate has skyrocketed now, documented to be almost always right, 99.3% of the time, up from 99.1% of the time.
That is the biggest jump in the history of my opinion audit.
Two percentage point, two-tenths of a percentage of a percentage point jump that's never happened.
And it was all because of the first segment monologue on the latest involving the National Football League.
I just finished telling you that the Chamber of Commerce, 25 million dollars to run an ad campaign to explain free market free enterprise to the American people.
From Slate.com, a piece written today by Elliot Spitzer, client number nine.
Chamber of Horrors, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce must be stopped.
Here's how to do it.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the self-proclaimed voice of business in Washington, has been wrong on virtually every major public policy issue of the past decade.
Financial deregulation, tax and fiscal policy, global warming, and environmental enforcement, consumer protection, health care reform, dot dot dot dot dot.
The problem is the chamber is doing all this with our money.
Mr. Spitzer, there is no question what the federal government is doing with our money, and that is destroying our economy.
So now the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a demon to go along with the insurance industry.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is now being demonized by Democrats.
They have to have a villain to advance everything.
Because they cannot sell their ideas.
They had to demonize me with false, fake made-up quotes.
To protect their precious little National Football League is an outpost of racism and liberalism, which is what it is.
And then there's this story from the New York Times today, which is a laugher.
States lag in recovery, comma, report fines.
that What recovery?
The recent signs of possible improvement in the economy have not trickled down to the states.
What possible improvement?
The states got the money.
Do you realize that the stimulus money that's been spent was given to the states?
It's called government trickle down.
It is not working.
Tax collections continue to plummet because the stimulus isn't reaching the people who pay taxes.
The recent signs of possible improvement in the economy have not trickled down to the states, which continue to be pummeled this spring by the steepest drop-offs in tax collection.
Well, duh.
Have you looked at all the people unemployed out there?
Who wrote this?
Michael Cooper.
New York Times.
The stark numbers in this report tell the story of the recession.
People were out of work or earning less, and income tax collections were down 27.5% in this quarter.
They spent less.
Sales tax collections were off by 9.5%.
The dismal data highlighted a hard truth.
There can be a long delay between the time the economy begins to improve, as some economists believe is happening now, and they're idiots, and the time that the change is reflected in state finances.
There can be a long delay or there cannot be a long delay.
What is what kind of reporting is this?
There can be a delay.
There is or there isn't.
I'd say there is.
By the way, the states got the money.
States got the money.
And they still write this story, and they blame it on tax revenue.
Ah, damn it.
Well, I guess the next thing we got to do is raise taxes then, right?
That's the uh that's the way they look at things.
Ooh, why didn't you tell me?
I've got um, we got the Hutch on the phone from Seattle.
Ken Hutcherson, former linebacker, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks.
Hutch, welcome to the program.
Hey, my man, I am so mad.
I am doing backflips up here in Seattle.
What in the world is going on in the United States?
I mean, the whole issue, Rush, whether you like it or not, is they have done you wrong.
And this is intolerant, it's prejudice, and if if America don't wake up, it's gonna happen to them.
I am so mad, man.
I I I cannot even, and I'm a man of the clock, Rush.
I'm not supposed to get this upset.
And it is time for all of that, you know.
Why don't they talk to some African Americans that know you?
Oh, that would destroy the narrative.
That would destroy the template.
Oh, forget that.
You know, and talk to some African Americans that know the poverty pimps, Shofton and Jackson.
And none of us slave sliders and pushers to get their way.
And they're gonna let them have a voice on all the stuff that they've done.
Jesse Jackson was telling the Bush to stay out of the bushes.
He was the one in the bushes having illegitimate kids.
How in the world can the NFA and I'm gonna tell you something else, brother, straight from me who played football.
Those African American brothers who's talking about they went play.
That is the biggest lie on this side of the universe.
Not only would their wives get on them and make them go, and and and their girlfriends and their moms, they will beat them all the way to the 50-yard line and tell them you better get out there and get that game check.
And why don't they talk to the hundreds of African American players that will be excited about you owning the team?
Well, they want to present the option, the idea that there are none, and that's what they've done.
Hutch, hang on.
I gotta take a little break here.
Um well I need to tell you who the Hutch is if you're new to the program, and I'll do that when we come back.
Do not go away.
And we're back.
Uh hey, Hutch, I've got 15 seconds here before I have to get the top of the hour break.
Can you hang on through the break?
I'll get right back to you at the top of the next hour.
