Time Text
What do you think?
And there is statistical data to prove this.
What do you think the five happiest states in this country to live in are?
Well, I'm going to tell you here in just a minute.
Greetings and welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB microphone broadcast excellence and the fastest three hours in media.
It's a genuine thrill and delight to be back.
Now look at that.
MSNBC running nine-month-old video showing me back on the air at 285 pounds.
Don't you love those people?
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
According to data gathered by the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control, the five happiest states in the nation are Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona.
Analyzing the data in the December 17, 2009 issue of Science magazine, a couple of professors concluded these states offer the highest level of life satisfaction, which is scientists talk for saying that people are happier in places with abundant sunshine, less congestion, and lower taxes and living costs.
New York has the distinction of being the least happy state in the country.
Michigan and California are not far behind.
Now, I'm not going to read the whole piece.
It's an American thinker piece by Jeffrey Folk, so we're going to link to it at rushlimbaugh.com.
But it goes directly to a salient point of mine over the years about the pursuit of happiness.
That's in the Declaration of Independence, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
A basic human right.
We are created with a desire for happiness, the pursuit of happiness.
And it's now next to impossible to achieve it because of the Democrats, because Obama and socialists and Democrat Party politics in general.
Because you look at states where people are the unhappiest and you'll find either big cities or the states or both have been run by Democrats for years.
Yes, I'm totally willing to politicize it because it's absolutely true.
One other thing here, I just remember in light of all these Democrats quitting, Helmut Head Dorgan, the governor in California, Ritter, Colorado, Chris Dodd, all these senators saying no mas, no mas, members of the house.
You remember Obama and Bill Clinton telling these people that they would lose if they didn't pass health care?
Remember that?
They were rewriting history.
Clinton was out there talking to these guys.
He said, I'll tell you what, the lesson is 1993, 1994.
We lost the house because I failed because Hillary and I failed to get health care.
If we'd have passed health care that year, if we'd have got it, we would not have lost the house.
And he was lying through his teeth to them.
They lost the house precisely because they tried for it.
And now that they've succeeded in getting two bills out of the house and senate, we'll see if they actually end up getting this done.
I think a lot of people are going to have all kinds of legal challenges to this in any number of ways.
But if they get it done, they have no clue how bad the bloodbath is going to be.
Because this is a guy down there telling them, you better pass this or you're going to lose.
And now they pass it and they resign.
They quit.
The number of people preparing to buy a home in November fell sharply.
That's the latest sign the housing market, which has been rebounding strongly, it has not, may be headed for a double dip downturn over the winter.
This is from the State Controlled Associated Press.
Consumers are taking their time following the extension of a tax credit deadline, and that is draining momentum from the summer's recovery, according to Data Tuesday from the National Association of Realtors.
Anybody who has the gall and the audacity to say that anything in this economy is in the midst of a recovery needs to be penalized somehow.
There is no such thing.
And remember, Alinsky, this is all on purpose.
In order to get people to give up the past, i.e. capitalism, in order to people give up what they've always known, they've got to be hopeless.
They've got to be futureless.
They've got to be depressed.
They've got to have practically nothing with no hope for acquiring anything on the horizon.
Then they'll give it up.
That's why this is on purpose.
The figures echoed what home builders saw in November and showed how dependent, get this, the housing market is on government programs to lower interest rates and lure buyers with tax credits.
Yet we know that all of these mortgage programs, the redoable mortgage, they're not working.
They have not been made available to most people.
The lesson here is the housing market may be headed for a double dip because the government won't get out of it.
Gee, whiz, how do they have the guts to print this?
How dependent the housing market is on government programs to lower interest rates and lure buyers with tax credits.
This government program happens to be the equivalent, not totally, but it'll suffice to make the point, of tax cuts.
There are incentives for people to buy.
If you just cut their taxes, you don't call it a government program, just get out of there.
Cut people's taxes.
You'll see revenue grow and all that.
It's so simple what needs to be done here.
It's frustrating.
But get this now, later in the story.
Outside of housing, there are other signs.
The economy is climbing out of the recession.
Orders to U.S. factories posted a big gain in November, the Commerce Department said.
That data was the latest evidence of a strong turnaround in manufacturing as industries from China to Europe flash recovery signs.
That's BS.
We are replacing those kind of jobs with jobs that don't produce anything, government jobs.
Look at it this way.
A job in the private sector is profit-producing, or at least has the potential to.
A job in the private sector is oriented toward profit production.
A government job depletes profit.
Who pays these people in government?
They don't produce anything.
They don't get their money until they raise it from us via taxes.
By taking money out of the private sector, this is a lie.
This whole story, other than a double-dip downturn over the window, this whole thing is made up BS.
Taken together, the report shows that while housing remains vulnerable, makers of steel, computers, and chemicals are mounting a surprisingly robust rebound.
Makers of computers didn't really suffer a loss.
At least Apple Computer didn't, or Apple Inc. didn't.
Anyway, the next story is Barney Frank.
And this is, I mentioned this earlier.
Mortgage giants, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, now basically a public policy instrument of the government, said Barney Frank.
Yep.
He's chairman of House Financial Services Committee, and he asserted that these companies, which were taken over by the U.S. last September, 2008, actually, have become an extension of the government's policymaking tools.
Remember now, Fannie and Freddie have been converted.
He said during an appearance on CNBC, part of the losses of Fannie and Freddie are that since the housing collapse, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac have become a kind of public utility.
I would be in favor of boycotting every business in Barney Frank's district.
Anything that would end this.
A blockade?
What?
You know, I sit here sometimes.
I'm at a loss.
I throw my hands up.
The country is being destroyed in this instance by a single congressional district in Massachusetts.
We live in an era where nothing is a surprise, but everything's an outrage.
What do we do?
I mean, I'm open for anything here.
Tell me I didn't see this.
I saw that Michael Steele doesn't know if Republicans can win back the House.
Did he actually, did he say that?
Grief.
If the leader of the Republican National Committee is not confident of something like that at this time in history, then something needs to happen.
There needs to be a confidence infusion or get the guy out of Washington for crying out loud.
And bankruptcy filings.
Let's talk about the recovery and how that hope and change is working for you.
1.4 million petitions submitted in 2009, seventh worst year on record.
Bankruptcy filings soared 32% in America last year.
U.S. consumers and businesses are filing for bankruptcy at a pace that made 2009 the seventh worst year on record.
Yeah, but we're in a recovery out there.
We're in a big-time recovery.
Richard Cohen, Washington Post, dumping on President Obama, a leader without a cause, details coming up.
But first, you got to hear this.
Tina Brown of the Daily Beast website, last Thursday on New Year's Eve, on the Today Show, the fill-in co-host, the street sweetie, Aaron Burnett, spoke with Tina Brown about events during the year 2009.
And the street sweetie, Aaron Burnett said, what do you think was the most important moment of 2009?
It's got to be that incredible inauguration of Obama because, you know, you started the year with this huge festival of hope and renewal and everything is going to be so different now.
And then like the bad fairy at Sleeping Beauty's Christening, Rush Limbaugh utters the words, I hope he fails.
And from that moment, the sort of the Pandora's box opened, and the rest of the year has been just this big discord and toxic atmosphere in politics and partisan divide and people shouting at each other and the tea parties and death panels and all of the stuff until we descend to the year where now where we just got the health care bill probably about to be passed with no Republican votes at all.
I mean, that's actually delusional.
As wandering aimlessly in hope of a thought and not finding one.
Blaming me.
And I hope he fails for the partisanship.
We were in a huge festival of hope and renewal.
What was this?
An amusement park we were at last January?
A festival of hope and renewal?
And everything's going to be so different now?
The truth, Ms. Brown, is that you've got a classic.
Never, ever, anything different than any socialist Democrat's ever been in Barack Obama.
There's not one thing unique about him.
The quirk of fate is how fast he'd been able to get his agenda done because of so many unelected Democrats in the Senate.
That's the real story here.
I hope he fails.
And from that moment, the Pandora's box opened.
And the rest of the year has been this big discord.
As though if I hadn't said that, why, we would all free love and free sex and be in communes together and be smoking pipes and having a grand old time.
But I had to go out and ruin it by saying, I hope Obama fails.
I still hope it.
The problem is he succeeds.
When the country fails, that's the whole point.
We'll be back.
Okay, so Tina Brown's out there saying Obama ran into trouble because I said I hope he fails.
It's my fault.
Tina, I know you're going to hear about this, so let me just remind you of something.
It was long before I said, I hope he failed.
It was Obama who cut off all debate on his stimulus package by saying, I won.
He brings the Republicans up.
He says, I'll listen to any idea anybody has it.
And the Republicans at tax cuts.
Nope.
Nope.
I won.
We're going to do it my way.
And by the way, Tina, he also at that same meeting told people not to listen to me.
So there's Mr. Festival of Hope, Mr. Festival of Renewal.
Richard Cohen today in the Washington Post, actually yesterday, Barack Obama a leader without a cause.
Last month, no American soldiers were killed in Iraq.
Last month, the unemployment rate dipped a bit.
Stock market ended the year up.
The financial system did not crater.
Detroit's big three began to get a pulse.
No, Ford got a pulse.
Obama's companies are in the tank.
And yet a consensus started to form that Barack Obama, who is either responsible for or merely presided over all this good stuff, is a failure.
First paragraph, Richard Cohen.
What's more, the consensus came supported by numbers, the polls.
Any way you measure the polls, Obama did not have a good year.
To some, he's weak on the environment.
To others, he's too strong on the environment.
He's camouflaged in the incomprehensible.
He leaves no carbon footprint and tilting energy-producing windmills.
Converse too much with our allies, bows when he should shake, all these things.
Much of this critique is asinine.
If the Republican Party had its way, and God sees to it that it doesn't, says Mr. Cohen, the country would by now have reverted to the barter system, and the unemployment rate would be around 25%.
The GOP economic program simply does not exist, and even Bush knew this.
When Push came to shove, he tossed his ideology overboard and used government money to bail out financial institutions.
That is one wild paragraph.
The Republican Party had its way.
We'd be 25% of employment and be using barter.
Still, still.
Now, yet, all that is formulated.
He has to get that in there because he rips Obama to shreds here.
The reason the GOP criticisms have started to stick is that Obama can be made into anything his critics want.
Oh, so the fact that he's a clean canvas that we can paint whatever we want works both ways, Mr. Cohen.
He writes, he's a lean man of ideological clay who has let others mold his image.
The White House faces a major political problem.
And that Sally Quinn, by the way, is out there saying that the Secret Service guy ought to quit, and that Desiree Rogers, the social secretary, ought to quit over these people getting into the state dinner.
Journalists like to believe that if they're getting criticism from both sides of the story, they must be doing something right.
That's not true for journalists.
They may actually have gotten the story doubly wrong.
And it's certainly not true for political figures.
In Obama's case, his misfortune is to be a leader without a cause.
Ta-da, da-da-da-da.
In other words, there's no they're there.
And the Democrats know this.
Leader without a cause.
He wanted a health care bill.
Why?
To cover the uncovered.
Maybe.
Rein in the insurance companies.
Maybe to lower costs.
Maybe.
What mattered most was getting a bill, any bill.
This is not a cause.
It's a notch on a belt.
He's exactly right.
Right.
Obama's building a monument to himself.
By the way, it's not going to lower costs.
It may destroy the insurance industry.
It's not going to cover the uncovered.
And it's not going to increase access.
It's not going to do anything that it's promised to do.
Obama could be a great president.
He's already achieved much, possibly saving the country from financial ruin, salvaging the auto industry, getting some sort of health care reform.
Possibly, possibly.
Yet his numbers sink as his achievements rise.
So this is obligatory.
I mean, you've got to get this little positive list of things in there because basically what Richard Collins just said is: we don't know who the guy is.
He's a blank slate.
He's an empty suit.
He's a leader without a cause.
Of course, that's not true either.
These people don't have the, well, I don't know whether they have the guts to look at it or whether they're smart enough to know, but he does have a cause, and it's happening right in front of our eyes.
And the cause is to remake the United States to take care of the injustices, the social injustices, and the economic injustices, and the capitalist system to wipe that out.
We make this country cut it down to size.
That's the cause.
And he's hell-bent on it.
And he's doing it right before our very eyes.
Charlotte, North Carolina, as we go back to the phones, this is Gary.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Rush, it's an honor to speak with you, and welcome back.
Thank you very much, sir.
A privilege to have you back.
I wanted to ask you your opinion on something.
It's obvious to me that the Democrats just don't care about public opinion in regard to the health care issue.
And the thing that's bothering me is that they may have a plan to actually sidestep all of that after it's over.
I read about the universal voter registration thing they're planning.
I've not seen it, but I can understand what it's probably referring to.
I want to say a thought on a national review this morning, or one of those places, where they're basically going to take every person on an unemployment list, on a driver's registration list, on any database from each particular state, and automatically register them to vote whether they want it or not.
So they don't have to show up and register.
They're just going to be automatically put on the rolls.
Well, if I read it correctly, that's what it is.
I haven't seen that, so we'll go with you.
I'll just treat it hypothetically as though it's true here.
If that's true.
And then if they don't tell these people who they've registered, that they've registered, and how are they going to know?
Are they going to go through the registration lists and find only those who aren't registered and only register them?
We're going to have people impersonating those who they've signed up or who they've registered.
If you don't think you're registered and you've not been told that you're, you're not going to go vote.
Well, call me suspicious, Rush, but I grew up in Chicago where the motto was vote early and vote often, and the dead quite often voted.
And I can just picture all kinds of things and shenanigans going on.
So we can all.
Not to mention Acorn, the voter recounts, the challenges and so forth in elections that are close.
Yeah, everybody is aware of this, and everybody is going to be geared up for it.
But I'll tell you something else.
If these Democrats thought that they were going to succeed in stealing every election, if they thought that was not going to be a problem, and all these techniques, universal registration, if they do that, Acorn, fraud, if they thought that that was a slam dunk, they wouldn't be quitting.
They wouldn't be asking these Democrats to quit the race and get out of it.
They can be beaten despite all this because the opposition is and is going to be huge.
All right, I looked it up here during the break, and universal voter registration.
John Fund is the quote-unquote author of the David Horowitz has a thing here in Palm Beach every November called Restoration Week, and Fund did a presentation.
And this is what he said about universal voter registration.
In January, Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank will propose universal voter registration.
It means that all of the state laws on elections will be overridden by a federal mandate.
The feds will tell the states, take everybody on every list of welfare that you have, take everybody on every list of unemployed you have, take everybody on every list of property owners, take everybody on every list of driver's license holders, and register them to vote regardless whether they want to be.
Fund anticipates that Congress will attempt to ram this legislation down our throats like they have been with the health care bill.
And he writes about this, to be fair.
John does in his book, which is titled How the Obama Administration Threatens to Undermine Our Elections, and it's an excellent book.
But he made this presentation back in November and is predicting that sometime this month it'll be proposed by Chuck Yu, Schumer, and Barney Frank.
Now, it could well be true.
It could well be that they're going to try this.
If they do this, believe me, it will not be under cover of darkness.
They may think it is, but it will be known.
And this is going to further ramp up opposition to these people.
That'll be seen clearly for what it is.
And I just, I think if they were really confident that this is going to happen and work, then they wouldn't be having any of these people quit.
They wouldn't be getting rid of Chris Dodd.
They wouldn't be telling helmet head Dorgan to find something else to do.
They just wouldn't be doing it.
Here's something.
Two stories.
Two stories by the same website.
CNN Money.
One story January 5th, yesterday, one story today.
Here's the first story.
Severe unemployment worsens in cities.
The number of U.S. metro areas with jobless rates above 15% increased in November according to government figures released Tuesday, despite the biggest one-month drop in the national rate in more than three years.
Okay, that's first story.
Severe unemployment worsens in cities.
Next story.
Job picture gets a little brighter.
CNN money.
In some welcome news on the job front, the pace of U.S. job losses eased in December, according to two reports released Wednesday.
Automatic data processing, payroll processing firms said that private sector employees cut 84,000 jobs in December, the fewest since March of 2008.
That doesn't mean anything.
Just because that's down doesn't mean things are getting better.
They still cut 84,000 jobs, and they did it during December.
If you're cutting 84,000 jobs during the Christmas season, it's big.
That's when people are generally ramping up, at least on temporary help.
Here's Linda in Naples, Florida.
It's great that you called.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm glad you're back and that you're well.
Thank you.
Can I just say one quick thing and I'll get to my point.
My daughter's dog's name is Toby Rushy, so we call him Toby Rushy Hudson Limbaugh.
Thank you very much.
Okay, what I wanted to say was about health care.
As bad as Canada and England's systems are, the people are all treated badly, but equally.
We will not be because some groups, you know, people will be exempt due to all these special deals for votes.
And that is just unspeakably bad.
I mean, so, you know, are we all going to get different little color of cards?
Oh, okay, you have to pay, but you don't?
Well, you mean like union people are going to be exempt from certain things like taxes on their Cadillac health care plans, that kind of thing?
Yeah.
And the Amish people I heard don't have to pay.
And, you know, so we're not equal.
It's not anything.
In fact, anybody that can claim some sort of, you know, a way out their religious belief will also get an exemption.
But look, even if everybody was going to be treated equally, it's no reason to support this because everybody's going to be treated equally bad.
Yes, I'm not saying that it's a good thing, but I'm saying it's doubly bad because people are exempt.
Well, let me tell you another way it's not going to be equal.
The death panels.
Let's not even call them death panels.
There are going to be bureaucratic panels in the Senate bill.
It's set up.
The Health and Human Services Secretary appoints whoever is going to run the health exchange and these various panels, and somebody's going to write guidelines to suggest who gets treated and who doesn't based on age, other risk, health factors, and so forth, and cost.
Yes.
And, of course, there you're going to have some people not get treated simply because a bureaucrat says, eh, not a good investment here.
Yes, we'll have do-not-fly lists and do-not-treat lists.
Exactly.
Exactly.
By the way, would you rather have a doctor searching and finding whatever disease you have or the transportation safety agency, whatever it is, the people that check you at the airports?
I mean, they can't find a guy wearing underwear in his panties.
I know.
They cannot find terrorists.
And the same people that appoint them are going to put other people in charge of finding your cancer.
Yes, exactly.
The whole thing is just absolutely incredible.
Everything that he's done since he's been elected is just every morning you wake up and it's like 10 different things in your life.
Exactly.
And the bottom line is they don't care what's specifically in this because getting it is the prize, a monument to Obama.
He's satisfied that there's enough in this that's going to give him and his government sufficient and additional control over people's lives.
This is not about the health care system improving for anybody.
It's not about any of that.
None of that is true.
None of this.
No, the Democrats being compassionate itself is a fraud.
Examine the results of their attempts to be compassionate, and you tell me that there's any big-heartedness in it.
Your guiding light, period.
Your bulwark.
Doctor of Democracy at America's Truth Detector, Rush Limbaugh, behind the golden EIB microphone to Frankfurt, Tennessee.
Gary, nice to have you on the program, sir.
Thank you for waiting.
Yes, thank you, Rush.
It's nice to know that you're doing well and privileged to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
I just wanted to add my own story to kind of agree with you concerning the fact that the medical care that you received while going through the emergency room would have been the same that anybody else would have received.
Back in August of 2009, I had a major stroke, and my wife, upon discovering it, got the ambulance there.
And the hospital that I went to locally, they flew me by helicopter down to Indianapolis.
And waiting there was only like one of six neurosurgeons in the country that could perform the surgery that I needed to do.
Did you know any of these doctors?
No, didn't know any of them.
So they never heard of you.
No, never heard of you.
All I knew is you're coming in on a medevac.
Yeah, correct.
And you ain't there.
So I go through the emergency room.
But as I said, one of six neurosurgeons in the country capable of doing the procedure.
They performed it.
But I did not have insurance at the time, but there was no paperwork, no lines.
I didn't have to fill out anything.
I was unconscious.
They just took me in, did the surgery, and doing quite well.
And I just wanted to kind of, just basically the same thing.
The point I wanted to make was that I didn't have insurance, but I was still taken care of and received the same treatment as someone who would have had proper insurance.
How are you paying for this?
Well, it is expensive, but the hospitals or other places who did testing, you know, in contact with me saying, you know, there are financial forms and so forth I can submit and so forth, and that they will consider discounts, write-offs through charities and so forth.
And some of the people, debt experts I've spoken to concerning the matter said that the hospitals more normally are more than willing to take way even less than half in a lot of cases because Medicare or Medicaid wouldn't pay them even close to the full bill anyway.
So they're willing to receive, if I can come up with the cash, far less than what the bill was as far as a total.
All right.
Now, you didn't know these doctors.
They didn't know you.
You are from Frankfurt, Indiana.
You end up going in, I think I said Tennessee.
You end up going to Frankfurt, Indiana, you end up going to Indianapolis.
One of six neurosurgeons, they fixed you up.
They dealt with it as the emergency it was.
And now you've got a payment plan worked out, whatever it is.
You're working with them to pay it off.
Right.
Exactly.
Now, and are you a celebrity?
Does anybody know who you are?
No, no celebrity at all.
No.
Well, I'm glad you called.
See, this is the point.
So many people have got the wrong idea about this healthcare.
This is why I said in Hawaii, it really ticked off the Democrats.
It really ticked off the media.
You know, I was feeling grateful.
I was thankful.
I was that this happened to me in America.
I got great coverage at the Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, and I said there's nothing wrong with the U.S. healthcare system.
And there's not.
I have never encountered a problem with it.
I mean, forget that, I'm not even talking about money.
I'm talking about treatment.
We all have stories that we have with doctors.
They might misdiagnose here and there, but nothing is perfect.
But I just, I think that so many myths, all of liberalism is a lie.
And they've told so many lies about the healthcare system.
So many lies about the rich.
So many lies about capitalism that they've got people believing that something that's the best in the world isn't and needs reform and needs to be fixed.
And I just, I have little patience for people who run down this country and especially the institutions and traditions that have made it great.
And that's what the Democrat Party is all about.
So, Gary, I'm glad you called.
Speak is Medicare property.
He said that the hospital was glad to take a reduced amount because if it was Medicare, they might not get paid at all or for six months.
You remember Obama went out there and said the Mayo Clinic, that's the greatest example of what my health care system is going to be, a nonprofit mayo clinic.
And he really touted the mayo clinic.
He said, they're on board with my health care plan.
Remember that?
He suggested this last summer.
Hameo Clinic, the model for government medical care.
But Monday, the Mayo Clinic in Arizona stopped taking Medicare patients.
How's that?
Now what happens?
If the nonprofit Mayo Clinic is quote-unquote what works, as the president believes, then it's clear that government health care doesn't.
If Washington cannot manage a system with fewer than 50 million participants well enough for those who paid for it to get care, then it sure as hell can't run a program that will eventually include every person in the country.
Mayo clinics, we can't deal with this because they're not being paid.
We all know what the problems are.
They're not being paid, and whether they're being paid, reimbursed, is not happening anywhere near a timely manner.
They also asked me, some of these questions you get out there, do you have power of attorney on life decisions?
Do you have living will?
They have to ask these questions.
And I answered them.
And got me thinking, one of our great sponsors here is LegalZoom.
In fact, let me tell you this.
A soldier's mom, an award-winning artist.
And first glance, you wouldn't think they have much in common, but they do.
Colleen raised two strong kids, one of whom's an elite Air Force para-rescue jumper, and then Kurt, married three kids, artists.
Works have appeared internationally.
So what do they have in common?
Well, they both protected their families with important legal documents at legalzoom.com.
Made them feel independent, secure.
The legal Zoom process only took about 15 minutes.
You know, if you go to a law firm to have something drawn up, the chances are that after you leave, they'll call LegalZoom and get it done that way.
Law firms use it.
They do.
Now, not to put down law firms.
LegalZoom.
Save you time, save you money on virtually all your legal documents from wills and living trusts, what they asked me about, to name change, powers of attorney.
LegalZoom's not a law firm.
Started by top attorneys to provide self-help services at your specific direction.
That's legalzoom.com.
Visit them today.
Legalzoom.com.
And remember, you go to a law firm if you want, but the odds are for one of these kind of things, don't have to call LegalZoom too.
Hey, let me address something very quickly.
We do have our new high-definition DittoCam in.
And a number of you have said, hey, I got a new computer out there, high-definition display, and your camera doesn't look any different.
It doesn't look any better.
In fact, it looks fuzzier than it did.
The camera is in.
The high-def Ditto camera is in.
I am told by the broadcast engineer, Brian, that is it tomorrow?
Do you really think tomorrow you're going to get this done?
Okay, we're going to try to get it ready for tomorrow.
I don't know.
They told me what the guts need to change, what need to be added, and I don't remember what it was.
What about bandwidth?
Have we got that handled too?
Oh, I thought we got the fiber in here.
Okay, cool.
So, yeah, we're also going to be able to use this camera for future TV appearances I make.
So I won't have to go anywhere, and I won't have to do them on the phone.
I can do them from right here.
Anyway, great to be back with you today, folks.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, and we'll be back tomorrow.
