Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis, which is no mean feat, ladies and gentlemen.
I am your guiding light, Rushlin Boy, and this is the EIB network.
As long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where here is.
We are deep in the bowels of a super secret, heavily secured and fortified location here in Las Vegas.
As you know, I'm here judging the 2010 Miss America pageant.
And it has been a tremendous amount of work.
Uh six to eight hours on on uh on Sunday afternoon orientation.
With all the contestants started on Monday, and that that was uh twelve hours straight.
We finished the uh remaining interview is on Tuesday up till two o'clock, and then the preliminary competition started last night at the Planet Hollywood Theater.
Um and that every night what we have we have the the contestants all rotate, uh swimsuit, on stage question, talent, and evening gown.
And it'll take three nights to go through all 53 contestants doing that.
Nobody is eliminated this week.
The eliminations start on uh Saturday.
It's been a fascinating experience, and and the people of the uh Miss America uh organization, you would love them.
Uh they they're just salt of the earth people, they just uh uh wholesome.
This is this is uh these are the kind of people that you'd love living next door to.
We'd love to have them as your friends.
Uh they deeply believe in what they're doing.
It's basically a scholarship foundation.
Uh they offer more scholarships to more women than any organization in the uh in the country.
And and these these uh the the contestants, I can't talk about any of them specifically, any impressions, uh, but they are all bright.
Uh it's uh some of those I said in the first hour, some of them uh know more about politics, know more about current affairs than elected officials that I have interviewed.
Uh it's uh it's been fun.
It really has.
Uh despite the uh the uh heavy workload, uh fellow judges Vivica A. Fox, uh noted actress, uh Sean Johnson, noted Olympic gymnast, Dave Coz, noted saxophone, jazz saxophonist, uh uh Katie Harmon, who is a uh uh former Miss America 200 uh two.
Uh so there are there are six of us.
Oh, oh, uh Brooke White, who was a finalist for American Idol, I think uh recently.
So it's a good group.
Uh I, of course, am representing the field of communications.
Uh that is my area of expertise, and there are other areas of expertise that the other judges uh use.
And one of the things I said to them, we we met the contestants about halfway through the Sunday afternoon orientation.
We were taken over to the Planet Hollywood Theater, which is where the telecast is Saturday night from eight to ten Easter.
We're taken over there to meet uh all the contestants, not individually.
They were seated up in the crowd in stands, and and we were taken up introduced to them, and all of us uh you know had a few comments for them.
And I uh I I said to them, uh I have learned here in the in the past three hours how seriously everybody takes this.
Not that I was uh surprised, but I have seen it now.
And I asked some of the organizers as seriously as you take this, why do you leave the judging up to rank amateurs?
People who've not done it before.
And they said, because you're all experts in a certain area, certain field, you're all experts and very accomplished, and it's it's it it we don't think it's ever failed.
Uh so I told all the contestants, uh, look, uh uh I know that you realize that we're just a bunch of rank amateurs here, and uh you have donated long periods of your life to this moment, and I just want you to know we take it as seriously as you do.
And uh I was also introduced uh as they were reading my bio to the contestants.
It was mentioned that I was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
And uh very thorough, the research here on the part of the Miss America organization is very thorough.
I I was uh noted as a as a as a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Uh and I when I had my turn to speak, I went up and said, Yeah, I was nominated, and I got screwed by Al Gore.
And they all busted up laughing.
Uh and it was uh so it's been fun, and uh I'm getting along great with all of these uh the judges.
It's just a great experience.
I'm glad that I did it.
And uh so we've got tonight preliminaries continue.
Uh then tomorrow night Friday is a day off, although I will be here serving humanity on the uh EIB Network's open line Friday edition of the program.
And in Saturday morning, we go through a final orientation production meeting for the telecast on Saturday night, and that's uh again at 8 o'clock Eastern, 5 o'clock out here for the uh for the finals.
So that's the schedule, and that's the report of what I have been doing.
I mentioned this uh this story earlier in the broadcast today from state-controlled associated press, the states.
The states just cannot handle any aspect of unemployment now.
Unemployed can't reach operators to renew their benefits.
Tennessee does not have and this story makes me sick.
This story does not make me laugh.
Tennessee does not have enough phone lines to handle all the calls about unemployment benefits, and a lot of people are understandably frustrated.
Richard Thomas told the Jackson, Tennessee son that he memorized the Tennessee unemployment insurance claims hotline number after three days of calling it repeatedly to try to renew his unemployment benefits.
Every time he called, he got a busy signal or an automated recording saying that nobody was able to take his call due to the high volume.
And by the end, I was yelling at the phone, Jeff, let me talk to a person.
This guy's 57 years old, and just it was so frustrating.
The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development spokesman, Jeff Henschel said the department is aware of the difficulty, and all government is aware of the difficult.
What can they do?
What can they do?
You don't have any choice.
You can't go anywhere else to get your unemployment benefits.
The only other option you've got is get a job.
And Obama's made that pretty hard.
Tennessee has five call centers.
They have about what is it?
It looks like 300 telephone lines.
The department is using stimulus money to install a new phone system, but it won't be up and running until the spring.
Stimulus money to install a new phone system for the unemployment division.
This is not what we had in mind.
Stimulus was for shovel ready jobs.
What this what what a total sham.
What a total scam this has all been.
And by the way, if you missed it, the stimulus, uh, ladies and gentlemen, has uh been 75 billion dollars more expensive than thought because of the extension of unemployment benefits.
Uh the stimulus has not created any new revenue.
It has not stimulated job growth, not in the private sector.
I mean, is it it's an utter joke?
And all of these people were made to believe that this was a panacea, that this was the end of all those horrible rotten bush years.
We're finally gonna get prosperous.
And I remember some of these first town meetings Obama had after being immaculated, went to Tampa, and these people actually asked him for a new car and a new kitchen, a new disposal.
You know, and and rather than sit there, now wait, folks, uh my job as president, not to buy you a car.
Uh what I'm gonna do is buy the car company.
Ha ha!
I'm not gonna buy you car.
I would have said, ladies and gentlemen, I uh you have a misunderstanding here of uh what my job is.
Uh I I can't buy everybody who needs a car car.
I don't have a stash of money for that purpose, and it's not my philosophy to do so.
But he wanted them to believe it.
He wanted them to have this messianic view uh and opinion of him.
Here's the official story.
This is from LifeNews.com on the uh Tim Tebow story, and what I want to get to is the uh the statement from Jemu Green, uh president of the NAGS Women's Media Center.
She said, an ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year, an event designed to bring Americans together.
An ad that uses sports to divide.
Would somebody explain to me what is divisive about a mother and son who was almost aborted, but the mother decided to take the dangerous pregnancy determine.
What in the world is divisive about that kind of a wonderful story?
What in the world is device?
Who are these people?
Who the hell are they to oppose a message that promotes life?
You understand these are the kind of people you support if you run around and tell yourself you're pro-choice.
These people are not pro-choice.
This proves it.
Tim Tebow's mom made a choice.
She took the risk against the odds given to her by doctors.
She wanted to have her baby.
She did.
And now look at Tim Tebow.
And this bunch of people, the nags say this is divisive.
And it's being used to divide people in a day where we all come what are we going to all come together?
You think Saints fans and Colts fans are coming together here?
On the Super Bowl?
What is this?
This is typical liberal crap.
Jargon and syntax, lexicon.
These people, I tell you, better understand something.
Pro choice is not pro-choice, and this proves it.
I have sought to illustrate this in countless ways over the past twenty and a half years.
And every time I've done it, you so politically incorrect.
You're so instigative.
I'm not, I would never, I would just try to get somebody's heart about sanctity of life.
But we do tell women what they can and can't do with their own bodies.
It's called prostitution laws.
And a number of other things.
So that specious argument.
You can throw out the window too.
All right, if you were here last Friday, uh, we had a call from uh from Naples, Florida, from our good friend over there, Karna.
She called us one time previously.
Uh she's an author, writes novels.
And I misread the clock when I took her call, only had an hour and a half.
She was going to tell us about a funny story that had happened when she went to a White House party uh during the Obama administration.
She's on hold.
We got her back, and we'll talk to her and a lot of the rest of you on hold when we come back right after this.
And look at this, folks.
Obama is gonna create a mini Congress by executive order.
You remember Minnie Me from those uh those those I thought they were childish juvenile Austin Powers movies.
Uh Obama is gonna create a mini Congress from the guy who says the buck stops here.
He is now the buck stops there.
And Bill Clinton was.
Hey, the buck never got here.
President Obama will call for creation of a bipartisan task force to tackle the nation's budget problems in his State of Obama speech tonight, according to AIDS, one day after the Senate narrowly rejected a plan to establish such a panel.
It's a trick to get Republicans involved in this debacle.
The Republicans are not the party of no.
The Republican Party is the is the party of no to policies that are going to bankrupt people, put them out of work in the private sector.
Bipartisan budget task force.
What the hell's Congress for?
What the hell's he for?
He's trying to pass the buck.
Back now to Karna in Naples, Florida.
I am so happy that you let us call you back.
You better start at the beginning.
You were uh you were in Washington Party at during the Obama administration, right?
Well, that's right.
It was some weeks ago, Rush, and I was really amazed to be invited since I did work for six years in the Reagan White House.
Who invited you?
Well, it it actually uh to explain that it was one of those um evenings where they had a musical performance, and PBS does come in, and as they've been doing for all administrations, they tape these performances and then they show them later.
Oh, yeah, we are and who was the musical act?
Well, this was the uh the Hispanic heritage uh evening.
And then the talent was great.
It was because it was Bob Greasy.
Pardon?
Bob Greasey there?
Well, it uh no, Glory Estefon, uh, George Lopez, J Lo, that's okay, yeah, yeah.
That crew.
But the only reason I was there is that I I happened to serve on the board of the of the local PBS station that that produces the show.
Yeah.
So just a couple of us were invited.
So I decide to go, and of course, and and I'm walking around it you know, it's a nice event at the White House.
So I go in there and I'm I'm walking around uh through the East Room during cocktails, and they had A few cabaret tables set up there.
I thought, well, gee, I don't know anybody, obviously.
So I thought I should be social.
So I go over, I see a couple of empty chairs.
I sit down next to this very nice gentleman and a lady, and I say, uh, what's your connection to this event?
And he says, Well, uh Michelle's social secretary is my client.
Hmm, how's that?
And he said, Well, uh, I do her hair.
Uh, it turns out he he's the he has a salon in the upper east side there in New York.
He employs twenty-two stylists.
Wait, wait, I want to understand he does the hair of the social secretary.
That's what he told me.
Okay.
Not the hair of the first lady, but the hair no, no, the social secretary.
So she got him on the on the invitation list.
Yeah, yeah.
So so he's there, and so we get to talking about, you know, tough economic times and all of that.
And I looked at him, I said, you know, this administration could really use some people like you.
And he stared at me, absolutely dumbfounded.
He said, Well, what do you mean?
And I said, Well, look, when you look at the entire senior White House staff and the entire cabinet, there is not one person who ever ran as much as a candy store.
You're a small businessman.
You hire, fire, worry about profit and loss, all the rest of it, the guy's just staring at me.
Well, at that point, I I couldn't rush, I couldn't resist.
I I I got into a whole contrast between Obama and Reagan's economic policies.
You know, both inherited a bad economy and all of that.
So he's looking at me and I said, Look, let's go back.
Reagan's answer was the twenty-five percent tax cuts and marginal rates across the board, getting it with the Democratic Congress, giving getting government out of our lives.
You know, he cut some 40,000 pages from of regulations, the Federal Register, all that sort of thing.
The result, 7.7% growth in GDP the following year, eventually 18 million new jobs, a 27% expansion of GDP, you know, and eventually years later, uh the elimination of the deficit through economic expansion.
Now, versus Obama, the spending, the deficits, uh more than all presidents combined.
We were going on about this.
And I said, Look, if you had taken all the bailouts, the stimulus, the cash for clunkers, the twenty-two percent increase in spending for the agencies.
Well, now I haven't run the numbers, but imagine if all that money had been used for across the board tax cuts.
And as you said earlier in an earlier segment, a reduction in the capital gains tax and the corporate tax rate.
Where would we be today?
And I asked him, I said, you know, I'll bet in your small business you could really use a permanent tax cut.
He said, Oh, for sure.
Especially a payroll tax cut.
And he said, you know, I bet I I bet I could even hire two more stylists.
And so I said, Well, why don't you put a bug in the ear of your client?
Well, well, well, I just happened while you were relaying this story.
Uh we have some specifics here on the uh business tax break that uh that Barry is going to propose tonight.
This from Bloomberg.
Obama tonight will propose extending through 2010 a temporary tax incentive that encourages businesses to accelerate purchases of equipment.
Obama will call for a renewal of the 50 percent so-called bonus depreciation in the State of Obama speech to the nation, extending the break, which expired December 31st would save companies that make purchases of equipment like tractors and wind turbines, solar panels, and computers, a total of what's that gonna accomplish?
Well, Rush, he he's talking temporary.
You know, all of this just shows such a terrific misunderstanding, not understanding at all, as we know of the private sector.
You know, uh Rush, you probably saw that great comparison that came around a while ago about the cabinets comparing Teddy Roosevelt on through today, and what percentage had private sector experience.
Yeah.
Remember that, you know, Truman had 50 percent, Eisenhower 57%, Reagan fifty-six percent.
Obama has a stunning eight percent.
I think I think it's a lawyer or something.
And then in in in his book, Obama, I didn't read it, but I heard about it, uh, reportedly refers to a few years that he had working in the private sector as feeling like he was behind enemy lines.
Yes, yes, I have quoted that.
And he's also talked about he was motivated to get into politics by getting rid of Reagan and his minions.
Yeah, exactly.
And then So this is not accidental.
This is not naive, tell you and and this this this temporary tax break, this is designed to fool people he thinks are stupid.
Who are gonna think that he's changing course here, buy equipment wind turbines.
I got a story about wind turbines in the stack I can't wait to get to.
But all this uh businesses to buy temporary uh equipment like hair dryers, if you have a hair salon and so forth.
Exactly.
And he's talking about a few temporary cuts for small business.
Now, we just saw this morning uh some headline Verizon is cutting through 13,000 jobs on Monday Walmart Sands Club cutting eleven thousand jobs.
Yeah.
Nothing he says tonight's gonna help those folks.
Nope.
I mean, really, really, Rush, it's just unbelievable.
What i it i there's a disconnect, a complete tone deafness or something, and he doesn't want to listen to the American people.
Uh I don't think it's tone deafness.
I think it is ideological stubbornness.
Well, that's true, but you know, I I talked about Reagan a minute ago.
Uh I I remembered a great quote, even from Francois Mitterrand.
What he said was it isn't just that Reagan was a great communicator, though he was that, but that he is in communion with the American people.
That was the difference.
Well, that's exactly right.
And Obama is at odds with the American people.
All radicals are.
All liberals are at odds.
All liberals have to govern against the will of the people.
It is the extreme leftists who imprison people in dungeons.
It is the extreme left which tortures people.
Hitler was a man of the left by virtue of his social policies, any which way you care to measure it.
Uh this U.S. Senate, the House, the Democrats running against the will of the people.
Learn it, love it, live it, be right back.

It's it is, but it isn't.
The American middle class dream is fast getting out of reach for more and more people.
As tough economic times take a toll on their incomes and the quality of life, says a study by the U.S. Commerce Department.
More than 90% of Americans consider themselves to be middle or working class, only one percent calling themselves upper class and seven percent lower class, according to a 2005 survey by the New York Times.
But according to the new report titled Middle Class in America, the Americans dream to reach the middle class is becoming increasingly difficult.
Now, I have a news flash for you, and this is what makes this funny.
The report prepared by the Commerce Department for Vice President Biden's middle class task force.
The middle class task force was again it's it's it's an it's irrelevant bureaucracy.
Its purpose was to put on a show that there are people in the Obama administration led by the great and brilliant Joe Biden, whose job is to revive the middle class and make sure that the middle class is on a road to prosperity.
And here a report after one year of this so-called middle class tax uh uh task force report is that current incomes and living costs of the middle class with those two decades ago are plummeting.
Some middle class task force.
This is the middle class task force that Obama showed up to speak to recently with a teleprompter.
Twenty people.
Twenty people, and he needed a teleprompter.
American dream is attainable, but if we don't attack the big problems today, whether it's health insurance, education, child care, or housing, it'll be harder for more and more American families to reach the middle class.
Well, what if you don't attack these problems?
You are attacking them.
Every problem you're attacking, you're destroying health insurance, education, child care housing.
Just the details in the news today alone.
Foreclosures, all three different foreclosure programs to help people keep their houses failing.
Not working.
Unemployment in Tennessee.
People can't even make phone calls, get connected to renew their unemployment benefits.
Now, turbines.
I love this.
You know, all these people, all of you gullible, you big hearted, lovable but gul gullible people who who who, because you you think you really care and you really have caused a problem with your life, so you buy into this green technology garbage.
You buy in to all of this climate change, the alternative energy sources, like windmills.
Have you ever wondered why the liberals do not want windmills where they live?
Ted Kennedy didn't want them anywhere near his compound out there in Hyannisport.
I have a story here from the uh the Portland Press Herald in Maine.
Turbines turn into a headache for Vinylhaven.
Noise complaints energize opponents of wind power and complicate Maine's renewable energy efforts.
You won't find a bigger collection of well-intentioned, uh big hearted liberals than in Maine.
Cheryl Lindgren was excited when the three wind turbines down the road began turning in November, producing new alternative energy.
But within days, her excitement turned to disbelief.
The sound at her house, a half mile away, was not what she expected.
As she sat reading in her quiet living room, she could detect a repetitive womp, whoomp, coming from outside.
She recalled, I can feel this sound.
It's it's it's it's going right through me.
I thought, is this what it's going to be like for the rest of my life?
Hey, Cheryl makes that coal power sound pretty good now, right?
Dedicated two months ago with great fanfare, the Fox Islands wind project is producing plenty of power, but also a sense of shock among some neighbors.
And I really question how much power these things produce.
They say that the noise, which varies with wind speed, and direction ranges from mildly annoying to an intrusive that disturbs their sleep.
And they say that they lament losing the subtle silence they cherish living in the middle of uh Penabscot Bay, the muffled crash of surf on the ledges and the whisper of falling snow.
Uh poor people.
What happens?
The alternative energy price uh it's just such a scam.
It's all such a scam.
All right, who's next in the phones?
Houston.
Steve, I'm glad you called.
You're on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Russ, it's great to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
I've been on the back row of the institute for quite a few years now, and I've never um had the opportunity to raise my hand, but it seems to me, at some point you said that uh we need to argue with the premise of an argument before uh we we begin to argue.
And you had a couple of cuts on earlier today about uh Rice was one of them, and he said uh that uh somehow that the government and society are are uh intertwined.
Uh yeah, that you can't have a society Yeah, it's just you can't have a society without government.
Well, uh let's say that you and I are out in the playground playing marbles, and we're like minded and we want to accomplish the same task.
Uh and a disagreement comes up, and so what we do is we go get the teacher, right?
That's government.
That's my impression.
I own a small business.
That's my impression of what government does.
I think the two are frankly opposed to one another.
And as you increase one, you eliminate you squeeze the other one out.
So when Carney called, brilliant, by the way, but when she called, she talked about how Reagan was in uh communion with the American people.
These folks in power now are uh out of communion completely with the not only that, they're at odds, they're governing against us.
That's it.
That's it.
And so my point is is that this society, or the great society, as Johnson might have said, does not come from government at all.
We are in opposition to, we stand juxtaposed to government, not with it.
And so, therefore, when we engage in the argument somehow that society and government are the same thing.
I I think that we uh we set ourselves up for failure.
Exactly.
I you know, I couldn't agree with you more.
In fact, this is one of one of my big pet peeves is that well, we we too often make them as the Republican Party does of accepting a premise and then you know disagreeing with it at the margins.
Uh the premise, for example, that we need massive, meaningful health care reform.
Okay, this has been advanced as something that we have to do.
It just can't wait.
Even though the Democrats have been trying to do it for what, hundred years, fifty years.
Uh okay.
Their premise is that only the government can fix it.
And you need legislation.
Gotta get a bill.
We got to get a bill.
Uh there are certainly things in the healthcare system that need to be reformed, but the real reform that would work would be to get as much government out of it as possible.
So you don't accept the premise that government has to fix it.
You accept the premise that government is breaking it.
And it's just it's too complicated.
And it it might anger people.
Uh Republicans look at a lot of people thinking that government is their salvation, and they just don't want to take the time to teach it.
Like Karna did with that uh that hair stylist at the uh at the White House.
Karna's a great example of what I say.
Because I'm the smartest person in your family, be the go-to person when somebody doesn't understand something about economics or politics.
You can explain it.
A brief timeout will be right back and continue before you know it.
Try this.
New York Times today, as the Obama administration pours 30,000 additional troops into Afghanistan.
It has begun grappling with the next great dilemma of the long war.
Whether to reconcile with the men who sheltered bin Laden and who still have close ties to Al Qaeda.
The Afghan president Hamid Karzai says he wants to reach out to the leaders of the Taliban.
And Obama administration officials acknowledge privately they are considering it.
How about blowing their heads off?
What is an olive branch?
No thought given to victory.
What they want, Garzai wants is a hundred million dollars for cash and jobs for the Taliban on the premise that they're only bad people because they're poor, which we know is not the case.
The fruit of kaboom bomber was wealthy.
And Biden, by the way, likes the idea.
When he takes time off from the middle class task force, he loves the idea.
Oh, sure, they're not gonna use the money to build bombs and buy IEDs from Iran and train soldiers.
Biden does, he thinks it's a good idea.
I'm not gonna read the whole story to you, I'm summarizing it for you.
Uh I don't know if is Biden ever been on the right side of the military, the right side of anything.
I mean, this is welfare for the Taliban.
Welfare for the Taliban and the administration the jobs bill in the Obama administration is uh is considering it.
Who's next?
Kim in Jacksonville, Florida.
Welcome to the program.
Great to have you here.
Oh my God.
I am so excited to talk to you, Rush.
I love you.
I've been watching you and listening to you since I was 15 years old and I'm 35.
I just adore you.
Um anyway, I'm sure you get that a lot.
So we'll move on.
I never gets old, believe me, it never ever gets old.
I think you are I I really do.
I just think you are just so great.
You're so insightful, and you say the stuff that I think people need to be saying.
So I just love you for that.
Um the reason that I'm calling is about the uh football player commercial.
I can't remember the guy's name.
It's the same.
Tim Tebow.
Yes, Tim.
Okay.
The problem with the situation is that you know, the Lib Targ don't want people to be educated.
They do not want people to understand that if you go out and you have an abortion, you could potentially be murdering an excellent human being.
They don't want that out there.
They don't want you to know that the person that the baby that you're killing.
I know.
I this is awesome.
Let me tell you something.
Kim, you've been listening for 20 years, you know.
I've been trying to convince as many people as possible that the pro-choice movement has nothing to do with choice, and they're just illustrating it here.
No, it has everything to do with the exploitation of women.
And this is coming, you know, I've listened to you forever, but let me tell you when it came to abortion, I was a feminizing.
I totally supported abortion, and now after you know, looking at the science and everything else, there is no way that you can look at the science on abortion and see the life cycle of a human being and tell me that that it's not a child.
Right.
You got a heartbeat very early on, you get a heartbeat, you got a brainstem very early on.
It's not an unviable tissue mass.
But you know, the uh the don't don't discount the fact that there's a lot of money riding on this.
I mean, these these pro abort people uh make a lot of money.
Always follow the money.
Always factor the money into uh uh any of these kind of things.
You'll find an answer.
Uh Greg in uh Durham, North Carolina.
I have about a minute and a half here.
I wanted to get to you, though.
Brother Limbaugh, thank you and Mr. Levan for keeping me sane in the last year and a half.
Well, you're quite welcome, sir.
I appreciate it.
Uh thank God for Rush and and and what you're doing.
Um my job as caller is to make the host look good.
That's exactly things.
About fifty things I'd like to talk to you about, but let me help you.
Let me let me say this.
Wasn't it just a couple years ago that some feminist groups said that Super Bowl Sunday was a day of violence against women?
Now, is that a double standard or was that divisive?
It was false.
It was a totally made-up statistic.
Uh, and it was longer than a couple years ago.
And you're exactly right, but there's there's there's there's a piece de resistance type of uh information associated with art, and I can't remember it.
It was the same group uh that had accused me of doing something I believe that was also uh fallacious, but it's just a bogus group of people with a fax machine and a and a logo, and they send this stuff out to their compatriots in the drive-by media, and it just got published because it fit a template.
Oh, yeah, men are brutes.
Men are predators, and men beat up women, and especially on Super Bowl Sunday.
And it was all about advancing a political cause.
Uh oh, I gotta take a break.
I misread the clock.
Back right up to this.
All right, folks, I gotta go to a uh Miss America judges press conference in about an hour and a half, and then uh uh get ready for tonight.
See you back here tomorrow, same time.
