Time Text
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across.
The uh fruited plane.
It's the award-winning thrill packed ever exciting.
Increasingly popular Rush Limbaugh program on the EIB network.
I am America's real anchor man, America's truth detector.
And the Doctor of Democracy.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
Bloomberg News.
73% of the American people oppose a drilling ban in deep water.
Ladies and gentlemen, when was the last time 73% of Americans ever agreed on anything?
73% of Americans don't support Obama's oil drilling moratorium.
Guess what was breaking news on CNN, mere moments.
I'm sorry.
CNBC.
Breaking news.
Mirror moments ago.
Not everyone is having this problem.
We just saw that Rush Limbaugh is actually coming out and saying that he has one of these phones and there's nothing wrong with it.
Not only do I have it's breaking news that my iPhone works.
What is my point?
My point, folks, all along has been this is a media-driven thing.
Now it's breaking news at CNBC that my iPhone works.
Well, I go on other shows again.
It's not just my iPhone that we the the 40 iPhones that I have bought and gifted to employees and friends also are working.
Now one other thing.
I am not my phone's over there charging right now.
My I I do not use a case.
I do not use a bumper.
I'm not using anything to shield it.
They think they well, fix a problem, Rush.
Just put a little rubber case.
Put a sh some people say just put some uh nail polish on it.
Duct tape.
Well, if that works until I get a fix, so what about it?
Who wants to put duct tape on their iPhone?
My point is, it works.
Mine works.
I don't have any signal loss.
I can't make it happen.
I can't, I can't, I can't find anything wrong with the phone.
It all works.
It's amazing.
And it's breaking news on CNBC.
Okay, back.
Back now.
Yeah.
She's there?
Yeah, okay.
We're going back to Mary in Chicago.
Mary, I want to thank you for holding on through the break.
Okay.
Well, Mary, if you're just joining us, Mary, you you're at uh you were at Human Resources.
Yes.
Back in the 80s with the corporations where everybody was talking about preventive medicine.
Correct.
And uh uh it was the rage back then as a way to save money, get people to live healthier lifestyles, eat healthier food, and so forth.
And you said something that just exploded.
And I didn't have time to tell you what it was before the break in it.
What you said was companies were really serious about trying to reduce costs.
Yes.
And that's why you, your company, and a lot of others uh got all hopped up into the preventive medicine.
Well, no, we weren't because we wanted to cut benefits or to you know make people sick or to not.
No, no, no, I understand.
I understand we really wanted to have provide a good product.
Wait, you're talking to an ally here.
Don't you don't need to I you don't need to be defensive.
I'm not accusing.
I'm not accusing you of wanting cut costs because you want to hurt people.
I understand I understand the notion of cutting costs where you can.
The thing the thing that gets me about this, see this is where I'm I'm I'm I really get frustrated, and I guess I really am unique.
If I were a CEO of a company and some liberal came along and started saying we need to do preventive medicine, we need to start eating less.
I would tell them to go pound sand because it doesn't make any difference.
There's no such thing as preventive medicine.
I knew this before there were studies.
I have seen people who live the healthiest lifestyles get cancer and diet H30.
I have seen people who have given no care whatsoever to the way they treat their bodies and they live to 80.
We're all different.
We cannot all be made to be automatons and robots.
We can't all be subjected to the same damn mandates and requirements to have the same outcomes.
And so this is what fr and I'm not this is not at you personally.
If I were a CEO back then, I would have told somebody comes along, screw it.
I'm gonna find a more effective way to save money.
This is all a fad.
It's all bunch See, the difference between me and a CEO is I see liberals.
I see them everywhere, and when they open their mouths, I say, screw you.
Leave me alone.
Take your infestive, infectious way of thinking to someplace else.
But companies scared of businesses, scared of scared of government.
I mean, they can regulate you.
They can hurt you.
They can cost you a lot of money if you don't bend over, grab the ankles for them.
It's why I would never be a CEO.
I would never be a corporate crony capitalist.
I couldn't do it.
Okay.
I've said my piece.
You can reply.
No, I I certainly agree with you.
I there's another problem with all of this.
You know, if one company does it and it becomes very high profile in the news, then other companies more or less feeling.
It becomes capital.
Well, they do it, we gotta do it.
Whether it works or not, whether it works or not.
It's like an airline.
We're gonna start charging you five bucks to bring an extra carry on.
Well, everybody will start doing it, reduce fares and so I understand that.
Doesn't save any money.
You got a success successful TV show, get your own version of the show.
Well, and also there's the the increased costs that come into play, because while you may do some good and prevent some illness or postpone some illness, you won't.
That doesn't offset the cost of hundreds or thousands of people getting tests they don't need.
But see, there's a there's something even more insidious.
They come along with this preventive uh regimen, and they they they say that if you can convince all of your employees to stop eating salt, to get whatever the preventive regimen is, which is bogus and BS, that your insurance rates will decline.
So they use the power of the purse to use the power of federal government or a controlling authority to regulate the behavior of employ of your employees, making you do it.
I mean, the whole thing repulses me.
The control of people, the uh the blackmail of corporations to engage how many other stupid, worthless, uh costly ideas have business had to adopt in order to keep government off their back, or to keep a special interest group from suing them, or to keep some liberal activist group from from from uh protesting outside the uh CEO's office.
I mean, it's just this stuff just drives me nuts.
And so you're in human resources, and everything you're focused on uh ostensibly is to save money when it doesn't, and at the same time, there's no focus on productivity.
Right.
Now, please don't take this personally.
You just happen to say one sentence that launched a missile in my mind.
See, I I love freedom.
I love individuality.
I do not like monoliths.
I do not like this attempt to force everybody to do everything the same way, to be the same, to have the same outcome, to think the same way, to behave the same way.
I hate it, I despise it.
I object to it and I fight it every chance I get.
And I just I so much of this is Center for Science in the Public Interest, telling us what we can and can't eat now.
Uh and it's just it just bothers me because it's all of this is political.
It's not business.
It's all political, and these poor CEOs or COOs, uh, human resource directors almost have no choice but them to fall in line behind this.
Otherwise, they don't care about their employees.
They don't care if they get sick and die.
In fact, it's one less person to pay.
Yeah.
So that's how they that's how they guilt trip you into it.
So I feel for you, I really do.
I bet you're really happy you called here today, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
I I have been trying.
I can't believe I got through.
Okay.
Now, wait, I wanted to finish your point because I have taken over here.
Uh you started your whole point was that that none of it worked back in the year.
None of it worked, the preventive regimen.
It didn't work, and we were really baffled.
Again, we were very sincere in this undertaking.
We thought it would.
I'm on the face of it, it sounds good.
But once you you look at the the uh figures and you see that what it what it uh results in is so many people getting tests that don't need to.
And for the one cancer you may find, or the couple years you may postpone high blood pressure medicine or something, it doesn't save money.
And the only thing that's going to happen here...
and on a national scale, uh these premiums are going to go through the roof.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
Uh definition of terms, preventive medicine equals mind control.
Preventive medicine equals behavior control.
Preventive medicine equals 1984.
Preventive medicine equals Logan's run.
You're 30 years old, you're gonna kill you.
You're no longer worth anything.
Remember the movie Logan's Run?
Finally, some 30 year olds, we don't want to die.
Start trying to escape the uh system that was killing them.
Mind control, behavior control, that's what preventive medicine is.
Thank you so much, Mary, for the phone call.
Okay, thank you.
I uh I feel bad.
I'm I I'm I got so I don't think she know what hit her.
She probably and I I I feel bad, she probably thinks I was launching at her personally, and I I wasn't.
You don't think so?
No Well, I've been noticing you be see Snerdly's been frowning during this whole thing, and I just want you people to know this because that did not distract me even a syllable.
Now, what do you famm if you want them?
Dawn just said mammograms are previous.
And then guess they're taking those away, aren't they?
They used to be mandatory at 40, now it's 60, right?
Or whatever, taking those away, right?
Nanograms are previous, sure.
If you want it...
Mm-hmm.
How do you have?
You don't.
You don't.
You don't, Snerdly is asking me, ask how many parents they have tried to get their kids to change and ask them how much success they've had.
And then you take that to the government level, and you have somebody like Obama or some bureaucrat working with a human resource person in an office, and you tell you've got to change, you've got to do this, or you don't get paid.
What kind of life is that?
What kind of country is that?
What do you mean change behavior?
Have you ever have you ever told a drug addict to give up the drugs?
Have you ever told an alcoholic to give up the alcohol?
It's not that simple.
You don't just tell people to change.
And besides, it's none of your business anyway.
Now, if you're running a business and you do have certain requirements for your employees to do their work, yeah, then you can but but but but those the reason, the motive is the thing there.
You can say I'm doing this for your betterment, I'm doing this for your own good.
You're not.
I'm doing it for my good.
You work for me, I need work done, I need you healthy.
If you can't do it, you're gone.
I'm not gonna sit here and send you to 15,000 different counselors and monitor you whether you're going to McDonald's or not.
And if you are, I'll probably applaud you.
They need the business.
Uh yeah, it's this is one of these things, Snurtley, yes, it's an admirable goal to get people to uh do the right thing and to and not eat the wrong stuff.
And that's how we end up with Mayor Bloomberg's.
Umrdly crossing the street is destructive to people if you do it at the wrong time.
There is not a behavior on this earth that isn't destructive or potentially so.
If you start going down the path, he's asking me, are there not behaviors that are destructive, destructive?
You should try to parents can try it.
Ask them how successful they are.
Yeah, by all means try it.
But uh there's not you go down that road, nobody's gonna be a skydiver, nobody's gonna get an airplane, nobody's gonna get in a car.
The risks of a car accident and having an injury or dying in a car are much, much greater than getting in an airplane.
You know what?
Risky behavior.
Uh there could be a snake in the toilet when you go in there.
It's happened in Guam.
We've talked about it.
You're gonna stop using the toilet.
Might be a snake in there.
Uh it's just the whole concept of free will.
I'm big into it.
We have free will.
There are consequences to our actions.
And the best, the best behavioral control there is is a wife.
Back after this.
All right, a little pop quiz.
Little pop quiz here.
Who?
And there is an answer to this.
Who is the father of the concept of national health care?
Who's the father?
And don't say Hitler.
He was number two.
Hitler was a follower.
The father of the concept.
Who was it, Cerly?
Who was the close?
It was Vladimir Lenin.
Vladimir Lenin or Vladimir, if you are Russian.
All you need to know about government run government-run health care was that Vladimir Lenin had the brainchild.
Now, do you think Vladimir Lenin was concerned about the health of Russians?
Or was he concerned with controlling them?
And about this behavioral business.
Oh, yeah.
We've really had a lot of success there.
Remember when they told us you get people to quit smoking, and you get rid of secondhand smoke, and look at the health care savings that we'll have, health care cost savings.
Remember that?
Oh, I do.
I remember everything these little comedy twits say.
I remember it for because it's all BS.
It is everything that comes out of their controlling little small mines is BS.
So we can't have second-hand smoking if you just people switch quit smoking.
Look at look at the cost savings in healthcare.
Well, we've had a whole bunch of people quit smoking.
In fact, it's very odd to see a smoker.
The most common place to see a smoker is in a movie.
On the screen.
Not in the theater, actors and actresses.
That's where most smoking takes place these days.
And yet, last I heard, health care costs were skyrocketing at such a rate that we needed Obamacare to reduce the deficit.
We've been successful with uh with uh behavioral control.
We have succeeded in convincing a vast majority of former smokers to give it up.
Our health care costs skyrocketed as they continue to skyrocket.
Audio sound bites, Obama got pathetic applause today in the battery factory in uh in Holland, Michigan.
We have two sound bites.
Here's number one.
Just a few years ago, American businesses manufactured only two percent of the world's advanced batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles.
But because of what's happening in places like this, in just five years, we'll have up to 40% of the world's capacity.
For years you've been hearing about manufacturing jobs disappearing overseas.
You are leading the way in showing how manufacturing jobs are coming right back here to the United States of America.
Uh, that's that's pretty pathetic applause.
Because it's all BS.
American businesses manufactured only two percent of the advanced batteries for electric and hybrid cars because of what's happening in places like your factory in just five years, we'll have up to 40% of the world's capacity.
Yeah, and all the electricity it's gonna take to charge them.
People do not sound happy.
And then here's Obama at the uh at Compact Power Car Battery Manufacturing Plant, Holland, Michigan, bragging about the porculus bill because of a grant to this company, a grant that's leveraging more than 150 million private dollars, as many as 300 people will be put to work doing construction, and another 300 will eventually be hired to operate this plant when it's fully up and running.
And this is gonna lead to growth and local businesses like part suppliers and restaurants.
That's just absolutely this is this is embarrassingly pathetic.
Okay, 150 million dollars and 300 jobs.
Somebody want to run the numbers for me here.
150 million dollars to create 300 jobs.
Um hardly efficient, and all these uh ancillary businesses are gonna spring in private dollars, private dollars.
They're all private dollars, Mr. President.
Every dollar is private until you confiscate it or print it.
Every dollar is private.
Our current healthcare thinking is what?
Tobacco is the worst thing in the world for us.
Am I right?
Current healthcare thinking, tobacco, the worst thing in the world for us.
But marijuana is medicine and should be provided for us by the government.
But tobacco, marijuana, right on, dude.
Rad on Radon Rado.
That's $500,000 a job.
300 judge, you ran the numbers, Brian.
300, uh 300 jobs at 150 million dollars.
You see people working at the Holland Compact Power Car battery plant.
I don't know what you're being paid, but the company is getting $500,000 for each one of you.
And I doubt that the people that work there are being paid $500,000.
So if I were you, if I were you at the uh at the compact power car battery manufacturing plant, where the president showed up today to tout all the great work you're doing, and I don't doubt that you're doing great work, don't misunderstand.
But he is very proud of the fact that uh 150 million private dollars were used to build your plant and pay you and so forth.
That's five hundred thousand dollars for every one of you.
Now, how many of you at the compact power car battery plant are seeing your share of the 150 mil?
Standby soundbite's uh 27, 28.
I don't think that battery plant's even open yet.
I'm not sure.
And wait, wait till it opens and wait till Chuck Schumer hears about it.
Wait till things start going wrong at the plant.
Have you seen the unemployment numbers today?
I wasn't gonna mention this, but I'm I'm but given everything we've talked about today.
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna mention them.
Why the media is shocked, shocked, uh, that there's good employment news.
Uh unemployment uh claims are down.
But do you know why?
I'm not.
That's right.
I'm not making it up because Obama Motors is not taking the traditional weeks off to retool.
That's the only reason unemployment is down.
Normally, Obama Motors takes this period of the year to give everybody time off to they retool for new model years.
Here's Pelosi this morning at a press conference about the president campaigning for House Democrats in November.
President is the president of the United States.
Uh he has an agenda that he has put forth.
We have passed it in the Congress.
It's important for the American people to understand the success of that agenda, and the president, of course, is the best uh uh promoter of his agenda.
So he will be doing that.
They're trying to drive us crazy, and I refuse to let them get away with it where I'm concerned.
This folks, this is designed to send us to the soft padded cells.
Uh this we're all supposed to be, they're coming to take us away.
This is the kind of comment that we're supposed to pull out what little hair we have left and start shouting, you think we're stupid.
Here's the next the next bite.
Uh she said this about Gibbs, saying that the Republicans could gain seats and maybe even win the house.
I think the comment was unfortunate, but it is not to take us from the path that we are on for job creation, and if you want to go to the political place, the excellent job that our chairman is doing.
We have a solid organization on mobilization, on message, on the money, the Ms, on the management of these campaigns Before they intend to win.
A comment uh can be interpreted many ways.
I think it was a Rorschach test.
Okay.
That's your speaker of the house.
It's a Roysock test.
What Gibbs said the Republicans, oh, yeah, it could win the house.
That's a Rorsok test.
Or Rorschach test.
So you know, with Pelosi, there's there's stupid and then there's Botox stupid.
Who's next?
Jerry in Tombow, Texas.
Jerry, welcome to Rush Limbaugh Program.
Great to have you here.
Oh, thank you, Russ.
It's such an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
I've been listening to you since the Rush is right stickers.
Do you remember those?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, that's uh and they've never gone out of style.
Oh, well, I'd love to have one.
Well, no, I mean they don't have any in stock.
I mean, they're but they've they've they've they're they're still accurate.
Oh, well, they certainly are.
I believe that for sure.
Russ, you just said what I was going to say, what I called to say.
I I believe it is their plan and their desire to wear conservatives down.
It ain't working.
No, I know.
Don't let them do it.
We need you so badly.
Oh, I'm not well, I'm not gonna be here tomorrow, but they're not gonna drive me crazy.
No, no, no.
This is this is I I agree with you trying to wear us down.
But the momentum.
I've got let me find the story here in the stack.
It's even worse than the uh than the Democrats think it is.
It's a it's some business insider have the chart of the day, and I'll find it here, but it's yeah.
Here's why Business Insider.com.
Here's why hyper Republicans are gonna crush the Democrats this year.
If elections are even half won simply by voter turnout, this chart shows why the Democrats are toast this year.
And I can't show you the chart because it's printed on two different pages.
But we'll uh we'll link to this at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Republicans have far more momentum than at any other time in two decades, according to Pugh.
Fifty-six percent of Republican voters are more enthusiastic about voting this year, while only 42% of Democrats are, and it goes on, has even more statistical analysis in it.
Uh they're not wearing us down.
They are inspiring and motivating.
Now we've talked about the best today.
I'm the best.
Everybody wants to be me.
We talked about the Apple iPhone.
I think it's the best phone that's out there.
That's just me.
All personal opinion.
I think it's the best.
I have another product here.
I've told you about it before.
It's also the best.
But you can't go buy it yourself.
That's the enigma wrapped in the riddle.
That is BG products, the best product of its kind, and you can't go buy it yourself.
It's for your car.
You know, people appreciate the sponsors of EIB.
Because they're the best.
One of those sponsors that people mention, it used to surprise me because auto maintenance is not exactly sexy.
It's something you have to do.
BG products and their automotive services.
People do love their cars.
They may not love the maintenance aspect, but they do love their cars.
The reason cars are so important to people is that your car is the very embodiment of your freedom.
Now, for my my first car was a Pontiac Lamont.
I loved it.
I paid for it.
With money I earned.
I couldn't afford a GTO.
A Laman's looked just like a GTO, except the front grille was a little different.
Of course, it didn't have as powerful an engine, and it didn't have the reverb audio system.
But I was able to get a walnut shift knob for my four-speed on the floor.
If I had, if I'd have been able to afford another 1,500 bucks, I could have had a GTO.
But I had to settle for Lamont's.
But I loved it.
Freedom is also sexy.
Auto maintenance isn't sexy, but your car you love and freedom is sexy.
Freedom lets people work and play and travel at a moment's notice.
And I can tell you personally, any product that provides that kind of freedom and productivity while adding pleasure is damn good.
Now, what makes BG products special?
BG Products designs a maintenance plan that allows your car to last longer than any other maintenance you can buy.
They back it up with a free protection plan that's good for the life of your car, even if you sell it.
Now the next time you think you need to well, not you think, the next time you're going to get your car serviced, make it a point to ask the technician if they've ever heard of BG.
They use BG.
And if they haven't, say thanks and then go to a website, BG Findashop.com.
Best way to preserve your engine.
All the fluids, transition, oil, you name it, break.
BG Findashop.com.
Free lifetime protection with BG, as in Be Good for Life.
It's the best.
But you have to get it put in by experts and professionals.
You can't just go to Napa or auto parts and get it yourself and put it in there.
Even if you know what you're doing.
It's just their business model.
BG products, it's the best.
Find out how to get it in your car.
James Carville.
Last night on CNN, Anderson Cooper 44.
Cooper said, What else do you want people to know about what's going on right now down in New Orleans?
I mean, there's a new moratorium that's going to be in place.
That's a huge concern.
But now it sounds like people on the presidential commission are backtracking, saying it may not take six months.
People have been so let down.
Federal government let us down.
They're killing the economy here.
Now people in the Interior Department that issue these things don't have the foggiest idea about life here.
They don't have the foggiest idea about what's going on.
They got they have got to do something about this because the Federal Government is about to kill us.
James Carville.
Translate that.
Obama is about to kill us with this drilling moratorium.
The people in the antenna department don't know what's going on down here.
They most certainly do, James.
That's the whole point.
They most certainly do.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's more than an honor talking to you.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate that.
From the beginning I've been listening to you, and I hope I listened to you another 50 years.
Me too.
Um I'm very frustrated to call about five callers back with talking about the Republicans, how they don't fight and stick up for things.
Well, I save articles for my uh liberal and democratic friends when they start bashing Bush and the Republicans of how much money they spent.
And in one of the articles in the Investors Business Daily, it's March 5th edition.
I'll make it quick.
Um, it talks about how each party, Republican and Democrat controlled the House for seven years equally.
Okay, in different years, like uh the Democrats control from 92 to 95 and from 208 to 210, Republicans 9099 to 201 and 204 to 207.
Okay, but here's the catch.
The Democrats spent an average on a deficit of six hundred and nineteen billion dollars a year.
Okay?
While the Democrat while the Republicans spent ninety-three billion dollars a year.
The Democrats totaled four point three trillion dollars while the Republicans only spent six hundred and fifty-one billion dollars.
That's a disgrace.
And and and we let them get away with No, no, no.
Your Democrat buddies don't care about Democrat spending.
Well.
I mean, they Democrats can spit because they're spending on poverty and compassion.
Republicans spend on the defense budget.
And to pay off people like Jack Cabermoff.
Democrat spending is compassionate and it's good and so forth.
Now we're never gonna win that battle.
We don't have to.
We look at the American people don't like all this.
They don't like the spending, they don't like the debt.
Uh they get that.
This is something that they're seeing up front firsthand.
Don't have to even be told.
Pete, thanks for the call.
This is um this is Derek in Philadelphia.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for the taking uh my call.
Oh, of course.
I wanted to say that if Obama's going to tell insurance companies that they have to give out free tests, which will result in higher premiums, which will result in a change of the terms of your plan.
Doesn't that trigger the provision in the health care plan that says if your plan changes, you no longer qualify for private insurance?
Yeah, of course.
So he just killed health care today.
Well, exactly.
That's the whole point.
Well, yesterday, that's when the directive came.
Yeah, I mean, that the the pl you're right, this is the plan all along.
It's a drive people out of the health insurance plans that they currently have.
Uh everybody who was informed on this knew this day was coming.
But now that it's here, and you actually see it manifested, and you see, just by snapping of the fingers.
White House sells insurance business.
Well, you've got to start giving away uh uh services for uh preventive care.
You're gonna give it away.
And then later in the losses, the fees the premiums could go up one and a half percent.
So somebody's going to be paying, as is always the case.
This is Joe in Lansing, Michigan.
Joe, you're next.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Welcome.
Yeah, hello.
Hey, uh, I was just wondering if you've heard I'm a truck driver, and I was wondering if you heard anything about the new regulations uh regarding truck drivers.
Well, specifically, no.
What are they?
All right.
Well, uh I've been hearing from uh a lot of my colleagues and uh from companies uh about regulations uh regarding uh the truck drivers weight and uh just a lot of regulations coming down, which is gonna uh cost a lot of us our job.
Uh a lot uh more jobs.
There's already a lot of truckers are out of work.
Yes, I know.
Uh luckily I work for a company that uh has been able to keep me uh busy and working throughout the entire uh recession here.
Uh what are you traffic in illegal immigrants?
Excuse me?
I'm sorry, uh just a joke.
Uh you said your business was thriving, and I just wonder if you're trafficking in illegal immigrants.
My bad.
I'm sorry about that.
Uh no, no.
I I have uh uh I work for a company that specializes in uh cross border transportation.
In cross border well, I was close I run in and out of Canada.
Uh oh, oh, okay.
Even when I'm joking, even when I'm making a joke, look how close to accurate I am.
Uh yeah, there's I've been hearing uh about these new regulations uh regarding uh uh a truck driver's weight.
Uh sleep after the other really cracking down on the Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Regulations on truckers' weight, you mean like their body mass index and that kind of thing?
Yes.
Why?
Uh don't tell me that the trucker's weight is going to be factored into fuel expense.
No.
No, no, for the health of the truck driver.
Uh most truck drivers.
Look at the only thing, the only thing we need to know is are they gonna take the greenies away from you?
If I lose my job for being overweight, yes.
No, yeah, well, uh the point is with the greenies, you can't possibly be overweight.
Uh yeah.
That's an inside joke.
He knows what I'm talking about, but he doesn't want to comment.
If if you could look into that and uh uh get some information, I'd be very grateful.
Uh about the body mass index and the weight.
Yeah, and other regulations that they're bringing out in the trucking industry.
We'll find it for you.
I'll have it for you on Monday.
Uh unless Mark Davis is listening and decides to steal it and get the information and report it to you tomorrow.
Because Mark Davis will be here tomorrow.
I've got a I've got an appointment that I have to that I have to make.
But uh if if we'll get either Mark Davis will have it tomorrow or we'll have it uh on Monday.
Uh I d the the I haven't heard this.
I here's uh there's a just one little brief blurb in an in the obscure paper, uh truck drivers urge to shape up undue years of unhealthy behavior.
But that's just it's an AP story, just uh urged to shape up is not quite mandated to shape up.
But we'll find out what that's uh what that's all about.
Uh greenies you don't know what a greenie is, certainly?
Speed and pediment.
Well, back after this.
Don't go.
All right, just to show you how uh uh cost conscious and health conscious I am, folks.
Heading out the airport, I got aboard EIB-1.
I have taken a bunch of people with me on this trip.
And what I do, I require every passenger to urinate first before boarding the plane to lighten the weight so as to reduce fuel costs and to also make room for the wine and champagne and adult beverages that are served uh en route.
See you on Monday, Mark Davis from Dallas will be here tomorrow.
Uh see you then.
