| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The uh views expressed by the host on this show, now documented to be almost always right, 99.5% of the time, learn it, love it, and live it.
I am Rush Linboy, and this is the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number is 800 282882, the email address, Lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
What is all this hubbub?
I just saw Megan Kelly lead off her show on Fox.
Apparently a bunch of lawmakers, i.e., members of Congress, are a little tiffy here over the fact that there are nine lawyers brought into the Department of Justice by Eric Holder who had represented detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
And my reaction is only nine.
It's only nine.
Look, I know I shouldn't be laughing about this, but for crying out loud, folks, at some point do not some things become obvious that have been obvious to a lot of us for a long, long, long time.
We got people running this country who really don't like the way it was founded, who do not like any aspect of our previous foreign policy, who consider this country is to blame for all of the ill that is happening to it, and that we probably deserve it.
So uh the fact that we'd have a bunch of ACLU types want to defend terrorists who want to blow up the country makes total sense if you understand who liberals are these days, and if you understand who the ACLU is, and if you if you're surprised by the fact that Eric Holder and Obama would want those same kind of lawyers in our own Justice Department, then uh wake up.
We're lucky it's only nine of them.
And I hell I hope to hell it's only nine of them.
It could well be more.
ABC News to cut 20% of non-union staff.
I mean, it's folks, it's a bloodletting out there.
CBS is laying off people.
And Disney is showing a profit.
Now, everywhere you look in the drive-by media, you see this kind of cost cutting, firing, termination, layoffs, buyouts.
It is a bloodlet.
I did not mean to confuse you when I said that the Grim Reaper is showing up at the I did I mean Heroldo was going there.
I'm see how you might uh be confused by that.
Here we go.
ABC News expecting to cut roughly 20% of its staff, the company said in an email yesterday, the cuts would affect roughly 300 of its U.S. based employees, maybe 400.
Uh beginning today, the company will offer voluntary separation packages to all full-time non-union non-contract employees.
You notice here, even the notorious union busters at Disney are afraid to take on the unions in their news division.
Well, not entirely, because if you read this further, it gets they're gonna do a Hitler video out of this.
In an email sent to staff on Monday, ABC News President David Weston announced a fundamental transformation will ultimately affect every corner of the enterprise, except his.
In his email, Weston said the company will eliminate redundancies wherever possible.
They will combine the weekday and weekend operations for Good Morning America and World News.
They will rely more on a blend of staff and freelancers for long-form magazine programming.
Uh freelancers get no health care benefits and no pensions.
By using staff and uh freelancers, Disney avoids having to pay health benefits pension plans.
Uh so in the case of ABC News here, it's don't do as we do, do as we say.
Now, if you have a company and you lay off 20% of your workforce and you start replacing them with temps and uh freelancers, ABC will be right in there doing a story on how wicked you are, how mean you are, how how lacking in compassion you are, and you're purposely trying to deny people health benefits and pensions, and yet when they do it, well, we're supposed to understand here because they are they are protecting us from all of the evils in the world, all the Republicans.
Uh and uh their jobs are really constitutionally important.
They need to be exempt from the kind of things they try to destroy other companies for doing.
Following an example, now this this is where they're gonna do the Hitler video.
Following an example set by Nightline's production crew, editorial staff will shoot and edit their own material.
That is until the unions find out.
What this means is, Terry Moran, still the nightline guy.
What it means is that Terry Moran, instead of being mic'd up and standing in front of whatever it is they're trying to destroy on nightline, he's going to be holding the camera.
He's going to be doing his own filming or videotaping or whatever.
And so are the other reporters.
Now, when the union finds out about that, they're going to do a video.
Hitler finds out ABC making talent do union jobs.
I can't wait for that.
And this is this is this is Weston.
When we are finished, many job descriptions will be different.
Different skill sets may be required.
And yes, we will likely have substantially fewer people on staff at ABC News.
The news comes exactly two weeks after ABC's parent company Disney announced strong fiscal first quarter financials.
Revenue in the company's broadcast division was up 5%.
Yeah, it's right.
Revenue was up 5%.
The company said, however, that lower primetime ratings and advertising rates at the ABC television network offset the results elsewhere at Disney.
So profits are up, but not in the news division.
See, profits are up elsewhere, but they're not up at the news division.
Well I look, I understand that, Mr. Snurk.
This is a point I just made.
See, if you're a health care company and your profits are up, they're gonna come gunning for you.
If you raise your prices, and you're a health insurance guy, they're gonna come gunning for you.
But when they lay people off, 20% of the workforce, when their profits are up, are we gonna hear any evil profit comments about Disney or ABC from CBS, NBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, you name it, are we?
What's a company for if not to give health care benefits to its people?
What the hell is ABC News really there for?
Now, here I got an idea for Obama.
You know, we love to illustrate absurdity by being absurd here.
And Obama is um very, very angry over this insurance company out in California raising its rates 39%.
Well point.
So he's gonna go in there and he's gonna, and part of his health care plan that he's plotted here includes price fixing, which and price controls, which never ever were yes, women and minorities will be hardest hit at ABC News.
Uh last hired, first fired, what yet no question.
Uh they're gonna offer people buyouts.
If they don't take them, they're gonna whop them off.
That's just it.
You gotta take the buyout as it's offered.
If you don't take it, you're probably gonna get canned anyway.
Uh if you are figured to be in the 20% that's redundant at uh at ABC News.
So, why doesn't Obama, since he's gonna go in there and control the prices of these insurance companies, which of course we know doesn't work, why doesn't Obama just require every household to be given free a copy of the New York Times every day?
It's his house organ.
Uh they're his PR agency.
Why limit the New York Times?
The same thing's happening in the New York Times happening to ABC.
They're laying people off, their advertising revenue is down, they're hiring uh fewer and fewer people, uh, and and I mean that's Obama's house organ.
Uh why then he just demand that the New York Times be given to every household in America.
I mean, if he's gonna start controlling prices of health insurance companies, so why stop there?
So at any rate, ladies and gentlemen, this is the uh the news that's happening, and I I want to I want to point out this kind of news.
Layoffs, cutbacks, profits down in the news division, advertising revenue down.
Do you know where we're not hearing stories like this?
We're not hearing stories like this about Fox News.
We're not hearing stories like this about the EIB network.
We're not hearing stories like this about many people in the new media at all, proving to me that their problem over there at ABC is content, content, cont CNN.
I think one night last week they had a maximum twenty-five thousand viewers coast to coast in the 25 to 54 demographic.
During Campbell Brown's show and during one hour of Anderson Cooper, 25,000 viewers nationwide.
Twenty-five thousand.
Well, you know, you ask about Diane Sawyer taking a pay cut.
It is said that she makes as much money as the Perky Katie Courick, which is 15 million dollars, and there's a bunch of unrest inside CBS while people are being laid off while their news babe is in third place making 15 mil.
I wonder if uh Steffi maybe got a salary cut back, uh Diane Sawyer.
Well, they offer to give some back in order to keep some people employed.
Do you know there's a National Football League coach who did that?
His name is Sean Payton, and he's a head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
And he wanted to hire Greg Williams as the defensive coordinator.
And the team didn't have the budget to pay what Williams wanted.
So Sean Payton, a head coach, gave 250,000 per year of his salary, gave it away back to the team so they could hire the defensive coordinator he wanted.
Now I don't know if we will see this kind of sacrifice at either CBS News or at uh ABC News.
By the way, if you are elderly, I have a piece here from uh it's a New York Times blog.
They uh are coming for you in another way.
Not just healthcare, but the headline title of this blog is Are We Overpaying Grandpa?
Are we overpaying grandpa in the New York Times?
I know I'm gonna get to these audio sound bites.
I just Democrat hypocrisy is funny and it's serious, but it's common.
Democrats changing the rules to make it easier for them to corrupt and do things is common.
I'm gonna play these things, I promise you.
But I do want you to hear the details of the New York Times, the economics blog, which they describe its mission there is is explaining the science of everyday life.
Are we overpaying grandpa?
Coming up.
And we're back, it's Rush Limbaugh behind a golden EIB microphone.
Look, those of you are on hold, we're coming to you pretty quickly.
I'm gonna do these audio sound bites.
There's just a lot of stuff going on out there today.
Uh let me ask you, in relationship this ABC News and 20%, three to four hundred people losing their job, maybe five hundred.
And what I didn't tell you is that they're that they say what they have to do is focus on digital media.
They've got to go web media.
They've got traditional over there, this kind of stuff ain't gonna fly anymore.
They've got to revolutionize, they gotta modernize, hey, they got it up to speed with new media, new digital technologies, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now, in light of that, may I ask all of you, have you heard in the last two to three years of an entity called ABC Sports?
You haven't, have you?
Back, you remember the old days, I watch the Olympics and I hear the uh the uh the theme, Jim McKay, Dick Button, all the ABC sports.
That thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, vice versa.
We had uh ABC's Monday night football.
We had ABC college football.
And it was all brought to us by ABC Sports, which doesn't exist anymore.
It's all ESPN, and they just throw the ABC logo on there when they put ESPN content on the ABC over-the-air network.
So, an ESPN, by the way, they're never gonna sell ESPN.
ESPN prints money.
They get, I forget how many, they get like a dollar?
I don't I'm wild guessing here, but they get a tremendous amount from every cable company in this country for every subscriber.
I mean, they print money at ESP, so they'll never get but the ABC sports is gone.
I'll tell you what I think.
When I see stuff like this, when I see Comcast buying 51% of NBC, when I see Disney profits up, but the news division not there, I see a sell.
I see a sell-off coming.
I see positioning this network as being more attractive to buy by letting 20% of your staff go.
That's what I see.
Iger got rid of Bob Iger that she got rid of ABC's radio network, except ESPN.
He folded ABC Sports into ESPN.
ESPN safe.
They print money.
Up next, ABC News.
Sold off to whoever.
Or a portion of it.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Right, now that this NBC blog New York Times blog.
Are we overpaying Grandpa?
The war on the elderly continues.
Republicans, they're no different than the Democrats.
They're just worthless.
The elderly receive a large amount of government assistance.
An amount that is not commensurate with their numbers.
The total annual income in the United States, national income, as economists call it, is about 12.5 trillion dollars.
That's about 40,000 per person per year.
The egalitarian view of government is that it taxes people with annual incomes more than 40 grand and pays benefits to people with less than 40 grand so that those with less than average incomes could enjoy living standards closer to the average.
That's the theory.
For reasons that I, this is the blogger, began to explain last week.
Our government actually does the opposite.
The vast bulk of government spending goes to the elderly, whose average living standards are significantly above 40 grand a year.
Social Security, Medicare, government employee retirement, federal, state, local, are government funds paid to people age 62 and over, 65 and over in case of Medicare.
They total about one and a half trillion dollars in the current fiscal year.
Annual Medicare spending, 12 grand per person, aged 65 and over and growing.
Annual Social Security and government employee retirement payments are $21,000 per person, age 62 and over.
Medicaid, hospital, other public health programs are open to people of all ages, although those programs spend more per participant on the elderly than on the others.
The blogger says, I estimate that on average these health programs are annually spending $7,000 per American aged, 65 and over.
Because you add it all up, the public pension and public health programs are spending an average of $40,000 per elderly American per year.
Thus, even if elderly Americans could rely on no other income source, on average, they could have living standards of 40 grand per year given to them.
Moreover, many of the elderly have significant private incomes and wealth in their homes, which means elderly average living standards actually far exceed 40,000 and thereby exceed the living standards of the average American.
How is it possible that so much government spending goes to persons with above average living standards?
This is one of the great puzzles in economics and political science.
It's not a puzzle.
The blogger at the New York Times can't figure this out.
It's because they are the ones who vote in record numbers.
The elderly to keep the gravy train flowing.
They show up and they vote.
Every four years we worry about the youth vote.
And why is the youth vote?
Because they're not being paid to vote yet.
So once again, the New York Times beating the drum for cutting Social Security and Medicare Medicaid benefits for the elderly.
This is what they're doing.
Why else write this?
So now we got Obama's health care, which does have death panels in it.
We know full well that uh your age, your medical condition, how many years you have left according to actuarial charts, will determine whether or not you get government-mandated health coverage.
Isn't it funny, my friends, how during election years the media and the rest of the Democrats always accuse the Republicans of wanting to do exactly what the New York Times is suggesting here?
Every Republicans suck.
Every four years, we are told that the Republicans want to cut Social Security, take the elderly's houses away from them.
We are told every four years that the Republicans basically want to want to feed dog food to the elderly.
And as a bonus, they'll buy them new can openers.
So they don't cut their fingers with manual can openers trying to eat.
And yet here's the New York Times, the Obama gospel, uh advocating just that.
There's no difference in the Democrats and the Republicans.
They're both worthless, and that's why we've got Obama.
Okay, Ray Sacramento, sell call.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Ray, are you there?
Hello, Ray, are you there?
Hello.
Who is this?
This is Roy.
Ray in Sacramento.
Yes, sir.
Actually, I'm from Corning, California, but I'm on the road to Sacramento today.
All right, good.
Thank you very much for calling, sir.
How are you?
Good.
Outstanding.
Hey, listen, Russ.
I was uh I was wondering what your take is on uh all of this uh infighting that's going on with the administration and uh whether or not you feel there's gonna be a change, and if there is, you think it'll be holder or uh one of the other huntsmen now?
I I think I think what's going on here is it's it's basically Obama has never been an executive, he doesn't ought to manage anything, he never has managed anything.
They've brought in some basically Saul Alinsky locals, uh Sololensky type locals from Chicago.
You gotta remember, one year ago, this was Nirvana.
They're gonna have health care.
This crisis, they were gonna have their 100-year-old dreams, and they're gonna have them realized in in in six to eight months.
And it's all falling apart, and so now they're pointing fingers at blame in public, even.
It's probably much worse inside than what we already know.
The Republicans all I do is spend and spend and spend and spend.
We have to get rid of the Republicans.
Your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, dissension, and even the good times, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
All right, to the audio sound bites.
May 24th, 2005.
This, what I said about the Democrats and the then described nuclear option.
The one thing we know about the Democrats is that they can be trusted to not be trusted, meaning they're not going to abide by any deal when they already refuse to abide by the Constitution and 214 years of history.
This is another thing.
Making deals with these people like making deal with the old Soviet Union.
This is nothing different than those old salt talks.
We'll abide by it, they'll break it.
Yesterday in Washington, Dingy Harry had a uh by the way, you know what his campaign slogan is?
Dingy Harry's campaign slogan is vote for me or my wife gets beat up by me.
Save my wife, vote for me, Harry Reed.
Yesterday he had a press conference.
During the QA, he was asked, is reconciliation the only way you have to get health care through Congress at this point.
My Republican friends are lamenting reconciliation.
But I would recommend for them to go back and look at history.
They should stop crying about reconciliation as if it's never been done before.
It's done almost every Congress, and they're the ones that used it more than anyone else.
Now, it it is done for budget bills.
It's not done for what they're gonna do with health care.
Let's go back.
April 25th, 2005, National Press Club at the time Senator Barack Obama spoke about changing the filibuster rule.
This is the Republicans were gonna use the nuclear option to confirm some of Bush's nominees.
Here is a portion of what Obama said.
He was ripping the whole process, the process he now is preparing to use to pass his own health care bill.
A change in the Senate rules that uh really I think would change the character of the Senate uh forever.
Uh and what I worry about would be that the you uh essentially have still two chambers, the House and the Senate, but you have simply majoritarian uh absolute power on either side.
And that's just not what the founders intended.
Oh!
Founders did not intend what Obama himself is now going to do.
By the way, I have got an idea.
David Weston, I know David Weston's not listening to this program, but I have an idea.
I have an idea for ABC.
This is a way they can start showing a profit, maybe not have to lay anybody off, and maybe prevent Iger from selling it.
And that is simply start charging the Democrats for the advertising they give them that they call news.
I mean, you realize how much free time ABC News is giving the Democrats.
Just charge them for it.
The Democrats are the number one unpaid advertiser on ABC News.
It's part of their content 24-7.
So you start charging the DNC for all the coverage, and man.
And then CBS can start doing it in the New York Times, and they can end their financial problems.
Hillary Clinton, Senator, May 23rd, 2005 on the Senate floor, spoke about changing the filibuster rule.
So this president has come to the majority here in the Senate and basically said, change the rules.
Do it the way I want it done.
And I guess there just weren't very many voices on the other side of the aisle that acted the way previous generations of senators have acted and said, Mr. President, we're with you.
We support you, but that's a bridge too far.
We can't go there.
You have to restrain yourself, Mr. President.
Now remember the Democrats wanted at this time to use 60 votes to confirm judges.
The Republicans said, no, no, no, no.
The clause doesn't say anything about that.
They advise a consent clause.
We've always done simple majority in here.
No, no, no.
We want to go 60.
And so the the the uh Democrats were saying 51 votes.
Why, why, I mean, that's that's a constitutional crisis.
The same thing they're trying to do now with health care, they said was going to destroy the country.
Here's Chuck Youschumer.
We are on the precipice of a crisis, a constitutional crisis.
The checks and balances which have been at the core of this republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option.
The checks and balances which say that if you get 51% of the vote, you don't get your way a hundred percent of the time.
It is amazing.
It's almost a temper tantrum.
And here's Harry Reid, who just yesterday told Republicans to stop crying about reconciliation, a nuclear option.
Mr. President, the right to extend a debate is never more important than when one party controls Congress and the White House.
In these cases, the filibuster serves as a check on power and preserves our limited government.
You back then, remember we were talking about the tyranny of the majority and how we had to respect the rights of the minority.
Because Bush, the Republicans had the House, and the Republicans had the Senate, and uh the Democrats were blocking all these judicial confirmations.
And so the very thing that the Democrats are going to do for health care in the Senate, they said was going to destroy our country.
Here is Diane Feinstein on the subject.
The nuclear option, if successful, will turn the Senate into a body that could have its rules broken at any time by a majority of senators unhappy with any position taken by the minority.
It begins with judicial nominations.
Next will be executive appointments, and then legislation.
Yep, yep, yep, as she called it.
Look at it's not big news, I know, because they're hypocrites every day of the year.
But it is just funny to listen to this stuff.
It's great to have the stuff on them.
Here's Joe Biden.
This is even better.
May 23rd, 2005.
This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.
It is a fundamental power grab.
Arrogance of power, a fundamental power grab.
Dingy Harry again.
No, we are not going to follow the Senate rules.
No.
Because of the arrogance of power of this Republican administration.
Even Chris Dodd, friend of Angelo, VIP, getting real favorable mortgage rates out there from countrywide, spoke about changing the filibuster rule.
Why have a bicameral legislative body?
Why have two chambers?
What were the framers thinking about 218 years ago?
They understood, Mr. President, that there is a tyranny of the majority.
Is this not great?
Ramming it down their collective little Democrat throats.
Diane Feinstein.
If the Republican leadership insists on forcing the nuclear option, the Senate becomes ipso facto, the House of Representatives where the majority rules supreme and the party in power can dominate and control the agenda with absolute power.
Yeah, exactly like is happening now.
Of course, back then they called it nuclear option.
Today they call it reconciliation.
Here's Hillary again.
You've got majority rule, and then you've got the Senate over here where people can slow things down, where they can debate, where they have something called the filibuster.
You know, it seems like it's a little less than efficient.
Well, that's right, it is.
And deliberately designed to be so.
And here's old Joe.
It's Joe Buddy messing with Joe.
Listen to this.
I say to my friends on the Republican side, you may own the field right now, but you won't own it forever.
And I pray God, when the Democrats take back control, we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.
Oh, that's great.
Joe Biden.
You can count on him no matter what day of the week, no matter what year, you can count on Joe Biden.
Here's Chuck Yu Schumer.
They want their way every single time.
And they will change the rules, break the rules, misread the Constitution, so that they will get their way.
Hillary, once again, May 23rd, 2005.
The Senate is being asked to turn itself inside out to ignore the precedent, to ignore the way our system has worked, the delicate balance that we have obtained that has kept this constitutional system going for immediate gratification of the present president.
What the hell is happening now?
The immediate gratification of the present president.
A freaking monument.
And all these Democrats are being asked to die on a sword in order for Obama to get and they're going to break the Senate rules in the process.
Constitutional crisis, a bomb.
Here is Max Baucus.
This is the way democracy ends.
Not with a bomb, but with a gavel.
Oh, wow.
Democracy was going to end if they did the nuclear option in 2005.
If we're going to go to 51 votes to confirm judges, uh and last but not least, Sheetsbird, comparing this to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
For the temporary gain of a handful of out-of-the-mainstream judges, some in the Senate are ready to callously incinerate each senator.
Each senator, every senator's right of extended debate.
That is what the nuclear option seeks to do.
Minorities have an illustrious past, full of suffering, torture, smear, and even death.
Jesus Christ was killed by a majority.
Christians have been tortured.
And of course, the Klan has not been very nice to blacks.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution from uh state-controlled AP.
By the way, folks, I have scoured every story I can on the uh ABC story.
Uh every report about ABC laying off uh firing, whatever, lopping off 20% of the workforce.
I don't find anybody who is surprised.
Uh I don't in the coverage.
Uh don't see the word unexpected.
Uh I don't see uh surprised.
It's like nobody is really shocked by this, like they are every month when the unemployment numbers come out.
Now state control AP report states' tax collections fall again.
States again saw sharp declines in tax collections in the last quarter of 2009, despite the strong recovery, a record fifth straight quarterly drop despite the strong recovery, according to a new report that predicts more looming spending cuts or tax increases, which will slow down the strong recovery, but not for long.
Overall, revenue from state tax collections dropped 4.1% for the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2008.
This is the Rockefeller Institute of Government.
The governors ahead of meeting in Washington this week, right?
I have a suggestion.
Just there's one of you governors out there just takes just takes one to do this.
Pick a state.
Any state, whatsoever.
And In that one state.
Lower sales taxes, lower income taxes, lower business taxes, reduce the rates.
Just get rid of the punitive taxation on every bit of activity that causes the economy to grow.
And then get out of the way.
Just do it.
Just pick a state.
If you don't want to volunteer, you know, do a lottery.
Just put fifty states in a five numbers.
Assign a number to each state, alphabetical order.
Put them in a hat.
Every governor picks one.
And uh whoever gets the number one gets to do this.
Just try it.
Why in the I why do people never get that lowering taxes across the board would remedy this?
Just one state.
Just try it in one state.
Jason in New Brunsfelds, Texas.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.
I I hereby volunteered Texas for that study.
Oh, I think Texas doesn't really need it, does it?
No, and that's my point.
Um I told I told Bo I'd get right to the point, so I will.
Um I wanted to ask you about two things, two key points.
The first one being I think people are putting way, way too much faith in a Republican from Massachusetts.
And I think people need to understand that when the Republicans go up there tomorrow to meet with the president, and the thing that you just said about a state being an example on how things are done, I wanted to ask you if you would agree with the premise that for two generations now, California and New Jersey have been trying to perfect liberalism and failed.
Oh.
And Texas has tried to perfect Reagan conservatism and has been wildly successful.
There's no question about it.
And I there's I've got a story in the stack somewhere here that some foreign country is going to start emulating Texas or uh uh uh California.
Uh they're gonna be in big trouble.
They are there.
Well, they're already in big trouble, and they're gonna get in worse trouble.
It's I think it's Venezuela?
I can't find out it's it's I got too much stuff here.
Uh Russ, can I can I just tell you one other thing?
You did not need to spank yourself earlier.
That lady has not been listening to the show.
Um you mentioned earlier that CNN had 25,000 viewers the other night.
Yeah, one night last week.
I I bet it wasn't that many.
Uh right now, as you and I are speaking from my my spare bedroom in my house in New Bromfels, Texas, just for the sake of my friends and family, I'm broadcasting this call on Ustream.tv on my my channel.
I bet there are more people would be able to watch that that are listening to your show right now than were watching CNN the other night.
Your show is is basically presiding over the end of 20th century media.
I was well, thank you for that.
Um proper perspective, finally being enunciated here.
I was gonna put it in perspective by saying I have twenty-five thousand listeners at the corner of fifth and sixty-second in New York.
Can I can I tell people where I'm brought and they can go see for themselves?
Yeah, go right ahead.
You deserve it.
Okay, it's it's you stream the letter U, like the letter U, like in university, the letter Ustream dot TV, and just search eloquent, the word eloquent, like what Rush Limbaugh is, eloquent online.
And that's the name of my company, Eloquent Online.
All right.
And I just, I mean, it blows me away that the first time I spoke to you, you were probably selling more than 25,000 Rush recorders, and for rush babies who have no idea what that is, it was a device that you could set on your your cassette deck to tape the Rush Limbaugh show.
