	So I was just looking at the computer here during the break.
	A couple things.
	I wanted to find out if I'm the only guy having trouble ordering a new iPhone.
	They go on sale today, pre-orders.
	And I haven't been able to get through all day.
	I got four people out there trying to get nobody can get through.
	So I went to some Apple web blogs to see if I'm the only one.
	And one of the blogs is quoting some investment analysts as saying that Apple will sell 2 million iPhones the first weekend it's available starting June 24th.
	I'm going to be lucky to sell one.
	I don't think they have sold a phone today.
	They were reduced at the AT ⁇ T stores.
	They were reduced to taking phone orders in by hand because their servers can't handle the demand here.
	And some AT ⁇ T stores have closed because they can't handle it.
	So I don't think they've sold a phone today.
	I don't believe they certainly haven't sold 10.
	It's all over the place out there.
	The next thing I saw in Drudge, and Drudge has this headline.
	Hang on here.
	It's Star Magazine, Gore Affair developing.
	Star Magazine apparently is going to report at some point down the line that Al Gore and Tipper divorced was because Al Gore had an affair.
	And remember, we talked about this, and I just summarily rejected that, because you can't see it.
	You just can't.
	I mean, there has to be a willing participant in an affair, and you just can't see it.
	So now, who is it?
	Who could it possibly be?
	I mean, I wouldn't think it's a limitless number of options here.
	I wonder who it could be.
	Dawn, you have any ideas?
	Who might it be?
	None?
	You don't have any?
	By the way, Rushlin bought, you know, that EIB network, phone number 800-282-2882.
	One possibility is that Gore is having an affair with Gaia.
	Well, which could be a tree, could be a bush, the shrub, could be, well, Mother Earth at Gore's age.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	As I said, it's just a Gore affair.
	This is StarMag, Gore affair developing.
	Could be Lori David.
	You know, Lori David divorced her husband, Larry.
	Lori David was a co-producer of his movie.
	She got an Academy Award up there for being a producer.
	Wouldn't that be funny?
	So we got Gea, Mother Earth.
	Could be Leonardo DiCaprio.
	Leonardo DiCaprio went nuts at the Academy Awards when Gore got his Oscar.
	I mean, literally went nuts.
	Yes, snurdly, I'm going to be talking about Alvin Green.
	Now the Democrats in South Carolina are trying to get the guy thrown off the ballot.
	They suspect a Republican trick here.
	This is hilarious.
	So here is yet another black liberal that the Democrat Party is trying to throw overboard.
	This is Helen.
	You got Helen Thomas.
	Liberals are showing us exactly who they are each and every day.
	The Politico today.
	Well, actually, this is June 3rd.
	But it still is relevant to today.
	White House political team stumbles and bumbles.
	They toppled Hillary Clinton.
	They crushed John McCain.
	They managed to get the first black man elected president of the United States.
	But now a series of recent missteps just keeps getting worse for Obama's political operation, already under fire from inside the party for losing its golden touch.
	The second guessing of the White House political shop, which is coming in part from top House Democrats, sparked anew last Wednesday or late Wednesday by news.
	The White House tried and failed to coax another Democrat Senate candidate out of making his race by dangling administration jobs in front of him.
	So here's two felonies.
	The first one was overlooked.
	Now we've got this one.
	This is the guy out in Colorado.
	Romanoff, that's right, Romanoff.
	This poor Alvin Green.
	Why can't Alvin Green be like Nancy Pelosi's idea of legislation?
	You only find out about him once he's been elected.
	This, folks, this takes the cake.
	This is just fabulous.
	I mean, even Robert Byrd must be embarrassed by this level of out and out racism coming from the Democrat Party here.
	If a white politician referred to a black primary winner as elephant dung, like Jim Clyburn did, Jim Clyburn, House Majority Whip, member of the Congressional Black Caucus, he called this guy elephant dung.
	Wouldn't the news media be outraged if a Republican had used that term?
	Where are Sharpton and Jackson on this?
	Fact, you know, this, I wouldn't be surprised.
	I wouldn't be surprised if we get a new Justice Brothers ad from Sharpton and Jackson over this.
	Somebody told me, oh, I'm not going to make this public how to get an iPhone.
	If I do this, I'll destroy everybody else.
	I'm going to try it.
	Somebody just sent me a tip here how to do it.
	Almost blurbed it.
	I'll do it after, I'll try it in the next break and see if I succeed.
	So anyway, here, poor old Alfred Greene.
	Alvin Green needs to do all he needs to do is file a complaint with the Civil Rights Commission charging racial discrimination violation of his civil rights.
	As for the rumor campaign that he's somehow a Republican, this is a standard page out of the old Stalinist playbook.
	If you can't suppress your political enemies by any other means, short of shooting them, then you make them out to be mentally ill, which is what they're trying to do.
	They're trying to make this guy mentally ill.
	He's a nutcase.
	He's a black liberal, and the Democrat Party is out to destroy him.
	Where are Sharpton and Jackson here?
	Now, the last time I checked, you know, I check constantly.
	The Constitution doesn't say anything about elected representatives' mental capacity.
	If it did, a whole hell of a lot of them that are there now would be disqualified.
	But mental capacity does not show up in the qualifications.
	Now, there are supposedly some criminal charges against Alvin Greene, but wasn't Democrat Marion Barry elected as mayor of D.C. after being convicted?
	And doesn't the House have oversight of the D.C. elections?
	And isn't it true that the Congressional Black caucus is trying to get Pelosi to get rid of the Ethics Committee in total?
	Because so many of them may be ensnared by ethics violence.
	And they have the audacity to run out and say that poor Alvin Greene Faces criminal charges when the whole black caucus is trying to shut down the ethics office?
	What about what about Elsie Hastings and who knows how many others who have gained office despite a criminal record?
	And Green hadn't even been convicted of anything yet.
	Alsie Hastings was out there making deals with criminal defendants to get him last time or acquitted if they would pay him off.
	And now he's an elected Democrat in the House of Representatives from Florida.
	As for the charges that the Republican Party somehow involved in a conspiracy to get Alvin Green elected, Jim DeMint would be the prohibited favorite down there, no matter who was a dem candidate.
	Why would the South Carolina GOP risk doing anything to screw it up?
	Dement can't lose.
	Why would they do this?
	But folks, you know what's happening here.
	They're literally throwing another black liberal overboard in the Democrat Party.
	And yet, who is it that are the racists?
	It's us, the conservatives, they say.
	You know what I think?
	I suspect the truth is that Alvin Green was a real sleeper candidate.
	Nobody noticed on either side.
	The Democrat candidate, Vic Rawl, probably wanted to save his campaign money for facing DeMint.
	He didn't bother to advertise, so he didn't have the name recognition he needed.
	And so more of the votes just went to the first guy on the ballot in alphabetical order, which is Alvin Greene.
	He did spend $10,000.
	That's another thing that's got him all ticked off.
	He won the election spending $10,000 or some such thing.
	And he can't even tell them where he spent it.
	He doesn't even know.
	I guess, ladies and gentlemen, these kinds of things have probably happened in primaries before, especially in off-year elections.
	But the party bosses just kept their mouth shut.
	In this case, he got 60% of the vote, and they're trying to reverse it.
	In an election, they don't have a prayer of winning anyway.
	So it's, oh, my God, what an opportunity.
	Every day we wake up, these people tell us who they really, really are.
	Let every vote count except the black guy for Alvin Green.
	Now, where's all the sympathy for this poor guy?
	You know, part of the left's compassion is based on sympathy for all of the discrimination and racism and even slavery that has occurred as a heritage in black people.
	And yet, none of that matters for Alvin Green.
	Where's the sympathy for the poor guy?
	I mean, even William Jefferson, when he was caught cold-handed with 90 grand in his freezer, they said, well, you know, he grew up a sharecropper son.
	He never had any money.
	We have to understand where these people came from and give him the benefit of the doubt.
	Well, where's that kind of thinking for Alvin Green?
	He doesn't have 90 grand in a freezer or anywhere else.
	He didn't steal it.
	He hadn't committed a crime anybody can convict him of.
	And the Democrat Party cannot wait to rid itself of this guy.
	It's still funny to see him running around trying to overturn the results.
	Now they're even seizing on the electronic voting machines.
	You know, this is funny too, because Democrats for years have fought to get rid of the paper ballot since they know it's easier to rig elections when there's no paper trail.
	And now they want to seize the voting.
	Why does the only reason, the only reason this party is anywhere is because they are totally propped up by a media that people think are objective back after this don't go away Okay, we're back.
	Rushlin Boy as usual, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
	Bob Etheridge.
	As I said at the top of the program, if a United States soldier had done to a murderous terrorist what Bob Etheridge did to this student, he would be facing a court-martial.
	In fact folks, if one of us would grab a young woman, get caught on video in the act, could we just say we're sorry and that we were being stalked by some evil right-wing website and get off scot-free.
	The chances that Etheridge will be charged with a crime, like the rest of us, is zero, or practically zero.
	Look at how the Democrats circle the wagons around every one of their reprobates.
	It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who the reprobates are.
	They're all out there circling the wagons around this guy.
	Democrats defend Etheridge, attack Breitbart.
	Bob Etheridge's abject apology for roughing up an anonymous conservative videographer is being accompanied by a defense of the congressman from national Democrats, Brad Woodhouse, DNC spokesman.
	This was a Republican Party tracking operation.
	Here's the dirty little secret about Etheridge.
	And don't forget, there have been many other guys like Etheridge, Jim Moran uh, a number of these people.
	And here's the dirty little secret.
	This little incident is very illustrative of how Democrats look at the world.
	They are above us.
	They are above all of us.
	They have more rights than we do.
	They can force us to observe their rights while abdicating ours.
	What?
	What on God's Green earth and?
	But they're saying he might have been drinking, so what?
	They're denying it.
	But so even he was.
	That's no excuse.
	What?
	What made him think he could lay a hand on anybody and steal his property, much less somebody just asking a question, why?
	Why would that question make him go bat crazy like this?
	You think that the um?
	He knows the voters in his district are not very happy with his liberal voting record.
	You think he needs to back away from Obama here?
	I'll tell you, the Democrat party is in a state of flux and they're in a state of panic.
	They can see Obama's numbers crashing.
	They can see media approval numbers crashing and they can see Congress approval numbers crashing.
	And they can see there's polling data out there today that confirms that what's happening here is not anti-incumbent, it is Anti-liberal, it is Anti-democrat.
	But take note folks, this is your average Democrat, superiority complex elitist, above everybody else.
	We can all see that he thinks he has the right and the might to intimidate an average voter, a citizen, Citizen.
	Where does Etheridge get the idea?
	Where does any Democrat get the idea?
	Somebody who asks a question is required to divulge his name.
	Democrats can spend this all they want, but it's there to see for everybody.
	As the conscience of the Democrat Party, don't forget this either.
	As the conscience of the Democrat Party, it was Ted Kennedy in 1973 who said, do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?
	Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?
	And now we know there is a system for us average people, and there is a system for the high and mighty.
	And Bob Etheridge is the high and mighty.
	And Bob Etheridge is showing us that he knows and thinks he's the high and mighty, and that we are hoipolloy.
	That we are human scum.
	Now, to be fair, let's be fair.
	We try to be fair on the EIB network.
	There are limits to free speech, even from aspiring journalism students.
	We have to admit here, folks, these are tense times, and this journalist should have known the danger he was putting himself in.
	When a journalist, especially a student journalist, asks a congressman if he supports the Obama agenda.
	That's like yelling fire in a crowded theater.
	I mean, you ask a congressman whether he supports the Obama agenda.
	You are asking a question that is guaranteed to create all kinds of, they don't want to answer this.
	Who do you think you are?
	I don't have to answer your question because they don't support the Obama agenda.
	They want to say so publicly, but they can't.
	They're just as afraid of Obama's White House as a lot of you are.
	So it's a loaded question.
	A loaded question to go in there and ask somebody if they support Obama's agenda.
	That's like asking, are you a Satanist?
	Or that's asking something, the most insulting question you can ask somebody.
	That's the equivalent of this kind of question these days.
	But do notice, do notice this, my friends.
	A congressman can demand to know who is asking them questions on a public street.
	But an Arizona policeman cannot ask a possibly illegal alien where he's from when he is questioning him about some other suspected infraction.
	But a congressman can take a student journalist.
	Who the hell are you?
	What gives you the right to ask me any question?
	Let an Arizona cop ask an illegal that can't do it.
	One system for the average, another system for the high and mighty.
	Now, the Democrat talking points on this, and they're posted at Politico.
	Democrat talking point is that this was a Breitbart production is obviously false.
	Breitbart's site only posted the clip on June 14th.
	It was first uploaded to YouTube three days earlier on June 11th.
	So they're trying to discredit the whole thing because it comes from Breitbart and biggovernment.com.
	Truth of the matter is, another liberal Democrat has been exposed for who and what he is.
	Just that simple.
	And we're not allowed to see that, folks.
	15 years ago, my friends, who would have believed that you could trade stocks online without using a broker?

	El Rushbo, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
	Our microphones, ladies and gentlemen, as always are everywhere.
	Actually went down to the Gulf and had Bushwhacker.
	He drank a Bushwhacker.
	No, I'm not making it up.
	Poplar Bluff, Missouri, not far from my hometown of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
	Craig, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
	Great to have you here.
	Hey, great to talk to you, Rush.
	Thank you, sir.
	Congratulations to you and Catherine.
	Appreciate that.
	You described it so vividly as if we were there.
	Really appreciate that.
	Well, you know, it's one of these things I wish everybody could have been there.
	I really, if there were a venue, we would have done it.
	Yes, sir.
	And your choice for host, you did a very good job on that.
	They filled in, and especially the guy yesterday, I can't really pronounce his name, but he did a very good job filling in for you.
	Yeah, Mr. Urbanski.
	I got a lot of email about Urbanski.
	Pro and con, which tells me he did a good job.
	Yeah, he did.
	He really, all your hosts that you have fill in.
	I don't know how you pick them, but they seem to do a very good job filling out.
	Well, you know, it's a thinning pool.
	Everybody that guests hosts gets their own show at some point.
	And so we dig deep out there.
	A lot of people, where was Mark Stein?
	I think it was on vacation or something last week.
	He was unavailable.
	But I appreciate your comment on the guest hosts.
	You know, there isn't another me.
	We strive to find the other me.
	And it's tough.
	And these guys are all have worked very hard at it.
	And I appreciate your acknowledging that.
	Yes, sir.
	Hey, Rush, we have an air show coming up over here in Cape.
	You think you can fly by EIB1?
	Are there going to be any surface-to-air missiles at that air show?
	I hope not.
	But it would be awesome to see you up there with the Blue Angels.
	That would be cool.
	Hey, look, Craig, thanks much for the call.
	I appreciate it.
	I really do.
	Mark in Saluda, South Carolina.
	Great to have you on the program.
	Hello.
	Hi, Rush.
	Hey.
	Nice to talk to you.
	Nice to talk to you, sir.
	Congratulations on your wedding.
	I'm a little nervous.
	I'm sorry.
	No needs.
	You don't even sound nervous and no reason to be.
	You're going to look back on this experience, someone you love very much.
	You're going to want to repeat it over and over again.
	I'm telling you, brother.
	I'm telling you.
	I was calling about this Alvin Green situation.
	I wanted to call you last week or so when it happened.
	It was this guy, I don't know.
	They've had the actual lady that's the Democratic chairman for South Carolina, Fowler, I believe her name is.
	She actually said, well, you know, we took his money, but he really couldn't say anything and Tell what his platform was or anything like that.
	And I'm serious.
	This guy cannot put a sentence together.
	He is just, he is a, oh, it's terrible.
	But I saw earlier on box that they had a Rasmussen poll, and he's still getting 21% of the vote up against Jim DeMint with like 56.
	Well, that's the whole point here.
	No matter who they nominated, nobody's going to beat DeMint, particularly this year.
	Now, this guy came up with $10,000 to cover the filing fee.
	Look at this guy makes more sense than Joe Biden does.
	I mean, this guy puts sentences better together than Joe Biden.
	This guy has never said to a guy in a wheelchair, hey, Chuck, stand up.
	That's a fact.
	That is a fact.
	You can't be too hard on this guy.
	Well, maybe.
	I don't know.
	I might vote for him myself.
	I don't know.
	I might switch over and vote for him just to help him out a little bit.
	Oh, this poor guy.
	I just, you have to appreciate here.
	You talk about the guy can't put two sentences together.
	So I mean, Democrats can't do that either unless they lie.
	And this guy apparently doesn't have the ability to lie.
	No, no, he can't.
	I don't think he can lie about it.
	I mean, they had to.
	I saw he was on, he was interviewed, and they said, who's your opponent?
	He had to consult his notes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, all he can say is I have no comment on that.
	Especially when it comes to the, like Snerdley said, the alleged porn charges.
	I think Mr. Snerdley needs to give us the black perspective on that.
	That situation.
	You know, it is time for an Obama.
	No, not an Alvin Green.
	We do need to revive the Obama criticizer.
	It's been a while since the official Obama criticizer arrest.
	That's a good idea.
	Absolutely.
	I think, look at you, you give this guy, give Alvin Green a teleprompter, and I'm sure he can come off like Obama does.
	You know, it could be that the only difference between Alvin Green and Barack Obama is, I mean, Obama's out there said he visited all 57 states, and they're harping on Alvin Green.
	Obama's put his foot in it, I don't know how many times, said stupid, crazy things, and they just give him a pass because everybody knows he graduated from Harvard.
	But Alvin Green somehow has to be some kind of big idiot.
	All right, folks, it's an exclusive Star magazine.
	Al Gore cheats with Larry Davids' ex, Lori David.
	Al Gore's split from Tipper was a shock to everybody who thought theirs was the ideal marriage.
	Now, Star magazine can exclusively reveal that he was having an affair with Larry Davids' ex-wife, whose name is Lori.
	I was joking.
	See, this is what happens.
	When I make jokes about these people, they come true.
	You thought I was joking about the Star Magazine story?
	You thought I was making that all.
	Oh, I was joking about Lori David, just like I was joking about Gaia, just like joking about Mother Earth, Leonardo DiCaprio.
	Well, but she was involved with the production of Earth and the movie, an inconvenient lie.
	Whatever.
	Snerdley, there's no explaining this.
	Snerdley, by the way, one more thing about Alvin Green.
	This is just, this is just too rich.
	He is a veteran.
	Alvin Green is a military veteran.
	He worked in intelligence.
	Alvin Green worked in military intelligence.
	I can't...
	I'm not lying, folks.
	I ain't lying.
	And back after this.
	And we're back.
	Great to have you here.
	I got a note from our official climatologist, Dr. Spencer, Dr. Roy Spencer.
	He doesn't believe me about the Globe story and Al Gore having an affair with Lori David.
	I got the web link.
	I'm looking at it right here.
	Star magazine.
	He also doesn't believe it.
	Calvin Green was in military intelligence from a June...
	Look, folks, I don't know how many times I've told you this.
	Do not doubt me.
	From a June 11th Washington Post article, the University of South Carolina confirms that Green graduated in 2000 with a degree in political science.
	The Pentagon confirms he served in the Army and in the Army and Air Force National Guards.
	He has not boasted of winning awards.
	The Pentagon says he was granted the Air Force Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Korean Defense Service Medal.
	This guy has been active, dude.
	Korean Defense Service Medal.
	The Washington Post, June 11th, confirms all of this.
	From a June the 9th ABC News article, Green has been unemployed and living in his rural hometown, 60 miles south of Columbia.
	He does not own a cell phone, and there is no computer in his house.
	He returned home last August when he was involuntarily forced out of the Army after a 13-year career because things just weren't working out.
	It was hard to say why.
	He had served as an intelligence specialist in the Air Force and later as a unit supply specialist in the Army.
	So there you have it from impeccable sources, the Washington Post and ABC News.
	Did I not call this?
	Remember those house crashers, the party crashed the White House?
	The woman has got her gig on one of these crazy real-wife housewife shows.
	Probably on a network owned by NBC, where one of the NBC exec was there.
	Don't doubt me.
	Prosecutors are preparing to file more charges as anger rises against three people accused of using the names of fallen Wisconsin service members to write bad checks.
	The mother of Rachel Bozveld, the soldier from WAPAN, says she is appalled by this scam.
	She had hoped to spend Memorial Day weekend celebrating her daughter's life and service.
	Instead, she spent it wondering whether Rachel's identity was stolen.
	This is out of Appleton, Wisconsin, very, very close to Green Bay.
	The three defendants remain behind bars in Oneida County on probation holds.
	They'll be back in court on June 21st.
	Identity thieves have no scruples.
	In fact, the easier they think it is to steal someone's identity, even a fallen soldier, they'll do it.
	No one is going to stop identity theft, but the best place to ensure yourself that it won't happen to you is Life Lock.
	When it comes to protecting your identity, why would you go with anybody but Life Lock?
	They are the trusted leader in identity theft protection.

	Call now.
	Look, before we have to get out of here today, I wanted a couple more things about wedding, which I meant to mention in the first hour.
	And by the way, I did not intend for my recounting of it and the description to take the entire first hour.
	I'm glad it did because it was a thrill reliving it.
	And I just got a note from a friend.
	No one can stop talking about your wedding.
	No one.
	I'll never forget it.
	So wonderful.
	Snerdley came in here this week.
	He was in tears just talking about the wedding.
	But we are so appreciative.
	Catherine and I both, everybody who came from all over the country to be with us.
	I've always said that life, when you look back on your life, no matter what you have accumulated and no matter what you have acquired and achieved, life is about people and friends and the relationships you have with the people you love.
	That's what life is all about.
	And when you look back, the nostalgic moments, the warm moments of your life always will be about that.
	Always be about relationships that you have with people that you love.
	Always will be about events that you have experienced with people that you love.
	And so I would not, I would be remiss if I didn't thank everybody who showed up because it made our weekend for us.
	Also, and we happened to see this on television and heard it later on radio.
	Apparently, Joy Behar just went off on Elton John on the View, calling him greedy or a whore or somebody called him a whore.
	And Megan Kelly, who was there at the wedding with her husband, Doug, took Joy Behar to the bank in setting this straight.
	So I wanted to thank her for getting the truth out about what happened down there.
	Mark Levin did the same thing, and Sean Hannity spent a lot of time on his radio show on the following Monday talking about it.
	It was, as I say, it was quite instructive to listen to people who weren't there act as experts as to why any aspect of it had happened.
	The insults that people who would normally love and adore Elton John were thrown at him by these same people.
	Very, very instructive.
	Very, very instructive for anybody to learn truly about who the left happens to be.
	Richard in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
	I have about a minute and a half here, but I wanted to get to you, sir.
	Hello.
	Hey, how are you doing?
	Very good.
	Thank you.
	Congratulations on your wedding.
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to talk about, you know, it seems like Obama's falling back on his attorney skills because it seems like he's an ambulance chasing every issue that's out there from the Gulf Ramat right now, which is getting worse by the day, to the financial situation.
	Well, you know, it's a good point.
	It's a good point.
	Chasing the ambulance, making sure the unions are protected.
	I just saw, by the way, they've had to suspend.
	I hope this is temporary.
	They've had to suspend the oil collection efforts because there's a fire on the surface aboard one of the ships that they're using to collect some of the oil that's being skimmed from the leak.
	And here we are on the verge of Obama's Oval Office speech, provided he can find it.
	I think it's been such a long time he's been in the Oval Office.
	It'd be interesting to see if he actually gets there tonight for this address to the nation and how he intends to further damage our energy sector.
	Back after this, folks, stay with us.
	Something I didn't get, there's a lot I didn't get to today.
	We had a great audio soundbite roster, but I just didn't get to any of them today.
	A lot of those tomorrow.
	Art Laffer back on June 7th had a great column in the Wall Street Journal: Tax Hikes and the 2011 Economic Collapse.
	And I cannot wait to detail this with you tomorrow.
	It is crucially important that everybody understands this: the coming economic collapse, the double-dip recession, because of all the tax increases that are slated for January 1 next year.
