Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It is.
I think it is a singular act of bravery.
A singular act of courage to even be in South Florida today.
As a rain shower goes through the said to be a tropical storm.
You should have seen Miami local television.
Yesterday it was go stock up.
You never know what's going to happen.
Today it's, well, the pavement might get a little wet.
Be a beware of that.
This is a good, good preparation for the next time.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
I was listening to a cable news.
I had to go get a key man insurance physical today.
Key Man Insurance Policy Physical.
These are always fun.
Because the doctors always get mad that I pass.
Ought to be flunking.
Ought to be diabetic.
I'll have blood pressure.
My cholesterol ought to be near fatal levels, and none of that's true.
And it just makes them mad.
You know, some doctors have templates just like journalists do.
Well, you know, we might want to put you on a liper to our why.
My cholesterol is at the low levels of normal.
Well, it shouldn't be.
And it won't be for a lot.
So anyway, I was uh I'm driving after I finished a key man insurance physical and driving in here, and I'm listening to, you know, I've got satellite radio in the car out there, and I'm just tooling in trying to do a little show prep as I come in.
And for the fun of it, for the fun of it, I turned on CNN, which I don't watch at home.
I don't have CNN on here to monitor.
And somebody on CNN were doing a special report on this tropical storm.
Uh, will it upset the cap on the oil well?
And I'm driving through, and I'm I'm thinking the cap on the oil well is 5,000 feet below the surface, a mile down there.
The tropical storm, if it's even that, by the time it gets will the cap hold.
I you know, it is just it it's amazing to watch all this.
This panic create panic all for uh for ratings and so forth.
Anyway, we're here, we're exhibiting courage like it's never been exhibited before.
We should have fled the state based on the forecasts uh yesterday.
I even had somebody send me a note, you know, Rush, the National Weather Service not right about this one.
This one's gonna come right at you, isn't it?
By the time it gets to the Gulf, it's not gonna matter.
You guys, you're gonna get 40 to 50 mile an hour winds, two to three inches of rain.
Uh you might want to bring a lawn furniture in and get out and folks, I mean, it's it's your average rain shower, uh, if that.
Anyway, it's open line Friday.
I'm Rush Limbaugh.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
Open line Friday means we go to the phones, you get to choose what we talk about on uh normally Monday through Thursday.
That's not the case.
If I don't care about it, we don't talk about it.
But on Friday, whatever.
Well, but that wasn't a callers, though, Snarly.
Yesterday I talked about something I didn't want to talk about, but that wasn't caller-based.
Yeah, when I finished the second hour yesterday, Stirling says, Is there anything else you don't care about?
Is there anything else that's boring you?
Maybe you should talk about that next.
So, whatever, folks, this is your golden opportunity out there to um uh pretend it the show is yours, and to take it in the areas that you think it should go, uh areas maybe we are not covering.
This is a um story here from the what is it?
I think, yeah, New York Daily News.
Thomas De Frank.
Fake news, fake journalist, Minister of Truth, or Ministry of Truth for the ruling class.
Headline, George Steinbrenner airs, fortunate expired estate tax will not touch 500 million dollar inheritance.
Here is how the story begins in the New York Daily News.
Should George Steinbrenner's heirs make a voluntary contribution to the government from their 500 million dollar windfall because the federal estate tax has momentarily lapsed.
That is an excellent question, said the Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geitner yesterday.
At a breakfast with reporters, Geitner was asked how he felt about Steinbrenner's heirs cleaning up because of Steinbrenner's death on July 13th, an extremely timely demise in the taxes.
Now they can write about it all they want.
Well, I when I praise Steinbrenner for being a bold and great capitalist, uh illustrated in part by knowing when to die.
Do look at the grief that I caught.
And now here they are in the New York Daily News, basically doing the uh the same thing.
Tim Geitner, Treasury Secretary, ducked the uh the question about uh Steinbrenner's estate, but he did say he's upset that Congress has not fixed a situation that denies the Treasury Listen to this.
Geitner is upset.
Here's a man who's never worked a day in his life in the private sector.
Here is a man who's never met a payroll.
Oh, looky, there's a leader of the regime.
What what timing?
He's making remarks on the economy.
We're not gonna jip it.
We're rolling audio tape on it.
If there's anything newsworthy or entertaining or funny or incompetent, or a combination of all, we will air it.
Geithner said he's upset that Congress has not fixed a situation that denies the Treasury billions in unpaid taxes from wealthy Americans who die this year.
It's not unpaid taxes, the tax rate's zero.
Nobody's skipping out on taxes.
The tax rate, the estate tax, the death tax is zero.
Thomas DeFrank, should George Steinbrenner's heirs make a voluntary contribution to the government from their 500 million.
Is this what we've come to?
The government's not charity.
The government is not charity.
I I just people, ladies and gentlemen, we have got to dispatch them politically.
We need, they are the minority.
We are being governed by a ruling class of egghead idiots who are a distinct minority in this country.
And uh no Clinton kept the bake sale money.
You know, this is back in the early 90s.
Clinton takes office, and all he's bakes is his kids.
We got a big national debt problem back there, which there was nothing compared to what we have now.
National debt deficit, what have you.
And his little high school, junior high, uh grade school kids doing bake sales, which today that means the parents went out and baked the baked goods.
The kids took the baked goods to school, did the bake sale, and the teachers were urging the kids to do this to resolve the natural uh national debt to retire it.
So they're raising, you know, $13 here, $14.25 here, and they sent the money to Clinton.
And he kept it.
He kept it.
Saying that this was good training, that this was this is an excellent way for these young people to look at their government and to be civically responsible.
Uh bake sales to reduce the uh national debt.
So there you have it, George Steinbrenner's heirs.
You know what's gonna happen?
They're gonna go after this retroactively.
Don't don't I don't I'm not I wouldn't be surprised if there's a retroactive death tax once they start monkeying around with the tax code next year, a retroactive death tax back to 2010 to collect some of this money from the Steinbrenner estate.
And I mean, I you you Clinton did it, retroactive tax increases starting in 1994.
You want to know what our politics has come to.
This is uh Aisha Griffin, Aisha Griffin, Wednesday, Madison, Wisconsin, State Capitol, a government accountability board hearing, Milwaukee Assembly candidate Aisha Griffin said this about the slogan under which she wants to run her campaign.
My statement of principle says not the white man's bitch.
I'm stating that in my uh point of view, the average politician is a token.
And a bitch is not a person, it's a female dog that rolls over.
The man has been used um in music, the white man's been used, uh, Michael Jackson and other artists, what have you, is in no way derogatory.
I'm trying to effectuate change.
He's trying to effectuate change.
That is Aisha Griffin.
She uh wants her campaign slogan to be not the white man's bitch.
Claiming she's talking about a female dog.
Right.
Now, she came close.
She came close to getting approval for this.
She came close to having this approved as her campaign slogan.
This would be, you know, on the uh uh these these people had a little slogan on the ballot and on the voter registration guides, the information guys that uh go out.
I wonder if she loses running as not the white man's bitch.
There is an opening at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
It's open line Friday, and I am Rush Limbaugh, that's the EIB network.
And we'll get to your phone calls earlier than usual.
We always try to do that on Friday.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
You know, I just I figured out I just ruined somebody's day today.
Sarah Spitz, that producer that works for a station that carries NPR programming on journalists that wanted me dead, wanted to watch me die.
You imagine upset she's got to be today to learn that I passed my physical with uh with flying colors.
That's bad news for the left who hope that their enemies on the right die.
Pastor, have you seen these protests in Arizona?
This judge in Arizona, this Democrat judge is uh suppointed by a Democrat, uh said to be independent.
She's she's really asking salient tough questions of the government.
The uh the uh the deputy, the assistant Elena Kagan, the deputy solicitor general, and she's making it plain that she doesn't think they have any case whatsoever.
Now she still hasn't issued her ruling, and there are all kinds of protests outside the the uh the courthouse, all kinds of protests outside the Arizona hearing, and I think it's nice.
I think it's nice to see a bunch of white kids doing the protests that illegal immigrants won't do anymore.
I really do.
It's it's it's it's a heartening thing, you know, which it's it's a nice reversal.
It used to be that the uh illegal immigrants are doing jobs that Americans wouldn't do anymore, but now you got these spoiled rotten little white kids out there uh doing the protests, the ill illegal immigrants won't do.
If you just sit around, if you if you're patient long enough, you always end up seeing things work out for the most part.
Now, here are some details about Aisha Griffin, an independent running for a downtown Milwaukee seat in the state assembly, who wants to use the phrase not the white man's bitch.
Now, when you when you hear that, what do you think it is?
Well, it's it's obvious.
She's not talking about a dog.
A legislative candidate from Wisconsin cannot use a profane, racially charged phrase to describe herself on the ballot.
An election oversight board decided on Wednesday, the state's government accountability board voted to bar that wording, agreeing with a staff recommendation that it is pejorative and therefore not allowed.
State law allows independent candidates to have five words describing themselves placed after their names on the ballot, as long as it's not pejorative, profane, discriminatory, or includes an obscene word or phrase.
Ayesha Griffin said it's freedom of expression, it's not racial, it's not a slur.
Now, here's the thing.
She convinced, she convinced three of the judges that the wording should be allowed.
But two of them said it should not.
One judge was absent.
Aisha Griffin needed four votes to succeed.
She said she intends to seek an injunction in federal court.
Board member Thomas Cain, a retired state appeals court judge, said he didn't find the wording to be particularly offensive.
Uh hi, I'm Aisha Griffin.
I'm running for Congress.
I'm not the white man's bitch.
Perfectly fine.
Uh to uh to Thomas Kane.
Now, nothing, nothing uh particularly offensive about that.
Fellow board member, uh Thomas Barland, who spent 33 years as a circuit court judge in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, agreed.
He said she says a lot in five words.
It wasn't pornographic, it wasn't obscene, and I didn't interpret it as racial.
Yeah, I I'm not the uh not the white man's bitch.
Not racial, not obscene, not pornographic to Thomas Borland, who spent 33 years a circuit court judge in Eauer.
George Gordon Meese or Maies, the board chairman cast a third vote in favor of Griffin.
He said this about the woman who wants as her slogan, I'm not the white man's bitch.
Judge Gordon Meiss said, Isn't she saying I'm not under the white man's direction?
I'm independent of that.
Isn't that what she's saying?
Well what's wrong with that?
Uh what what is what's wrong with that?
Roxanne Dunlap, a white woman from Sussex, felt compelled to speak up in the middle of the meeting saying she was offended by it all.
She said if a white candidate wanted to have the statement, I'm not the black man's bitch put on a ballot, it would be soundly rejected.
Griffin said her statement was not directed at any one individual, but the government as a whole.
The B word was referring to a female dog that rolls over, she said.
I I was speechless.
This is this is what our politics has come to.
Now this next, folks, Vietnam a buzz over Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
This is from the Associated Press out of Hanoi.
Are we to believe this?
That in Hanoi, there is a giant buzz on about Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
That in Hanoi, in Ho Chi Minh City, there is a people are whispering and buzzing about Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
Chelsea Clinton's big day may be half a world away, but that hasn't tempered enthusiasm in Vietnam for her upcoming nuptials.
In Hanoi on Thursday for diplomatic meetings a little over a week before the July 31st wedding, Mother of the Bride, Hillary Rodham Clinton was given a wedding present, a white tablecloth for her daughter by the Vietnamese government, along with gemstone mosaic portraits of her and Chelsea during their 2000 visit to the country.
Very nice, said Hillary.
The Vietnamese foreign minister presented her with a tablecloth and congratulated her on the marriage of her only child.
I'm very honored.
I'll be very pleased to give this to Chelsea.
Hilberry said, arriving at a hotel to speak to a luncheon hosted by the local American Chamber of Commerce.
She was greeted by and posed glowingly for photos with a group of American women holding a congratulatory sign reading Mazletov Chelsea.
Meanwhile, if we have this report from the Asian News International Okay, so there's a there's a big buzz on in Vietnam for Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
This is what the giddy Associated Press wants us to think that they're buzzing.
Vietnam is a buzz over Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
And from the Asian News International, Chelsea Clinton's wedding price tag could reach two million dollars.
Details of the wedding are slowly leaking out.
It's presumed to be in the small upstate New York village of Rhinebeck, reports ABC News.
Perhaps all too fittingly, the historic event will be held at the Astor Courts, a 13,000-foot Beaux Arts Pavilion designed to evoke Versailles.
While nobody but the Clintons knows the exact price, it's shaping up to be a costly affair, Total price tag could easily reach two million dollars, and what do you bet they aren't paying a dime of it?
What do you bet is being paid for by donors?
Campaign contributions.
You don't think so?
You think the Clintons are paying for this out of their pocket?
You really Don, you think the Clintons are paying for this out of their pocket?
Ah.
Yeah, right.
How did the money get into their pocket?
Uh, does the name Johnny Chang, does the name Charlie Tree, does the name uh who else uh is any of their money they have their own.
When Jenna Bush got married two years ago at the president's ranch in Crawford, planners estimated it only cost a hundred thousand dollars for the down home celebration.
Now, we are we are of the school of thought here that it's nobody's business how much anybody else spends on their weddings, but we are fairly sure Mrs. Clinton does not have the same laissez-faire attitude.
So two million dollars, two million dollars would feed a lot of hungry children.
Two million dollars would buy a lot of AIDS vaccines in Africa.
Two million dollars, look how far that would go in Vietnam, where according to Mrs. Clinton's own State Department, the yearly per capita income is a thousand fifty-two dollars a year.
Yet they're a buzz in Vietnam over Chelsea's wedding.
It has to be a slow day in Hanoi if they are a buzz over Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
Chelsea Clinton's wedding is not even till what uh July 31st.
And and and for Hanoi to be a buzz about it, in this Milwaukee, but you know this Ayesha, what's her name?
Aisha Griffin, she describes herself as a community activist.
This is the woman who once says her campaign slogan, she's gonna be a white man's bitch.
She's a community activist, fashion that.
Now, what is it with Milwaukee?
You know, we're big in Milwaukee.
We own Milwaukee, but I have to wonder how it's possible.
First of all, you got this woman running for office.
Remember, there was a board of supervisor up there who did not know that Arizona was a border state with uh with Mexico.
Remember that?
You had this woman who don't want to be the white man's B.I. itch, and another one up there who says that uh Mexico does not border Arizona.
This um Aisha Griffin, you know what she ought to do?
She ought to set her sights higher.
We already have a resume she can follow.
She's a community activist.
Okay, so she wins here uh on the platform of not the white man's bitch.
Uh she then should run for the U.S. Senate, serve 143 days, and then run for president.
As the first female black president uh of the and just let it redo the last two years.
The the blueprint, the blueprint is there.
Audio sound by time, President Obama, the leader of the regime, this afternoon, the White House and the Roosevelt room, congratulating himself on economic progress.
We have two sound bites.
Here's the first.
I want to talk about uh the progress that we made this week on three fronts as we work to repair the damage to our economy from this recession and build a stronger foundation for the future.
Taken together, we made enormous progress this week on Wall Street reform, on making sure that we're eliminating waste and abuse in government, and in providing immediate assistance to people who are out there looking for work.
Well, there you have it.
Uh, folks, this has been a great week.
This leader of the regime, you heard him right there, great, great week.
Congratulations are in order for him.
The great progress, big fronts, three fronts, repair the damage to the economy of the recession, we build a stronger foundation for the future, and enormous progress on Wall Street reform.
Wow.
So this is the measuring stick.
This was a fabulous week.
This was a great week.
Look what you all have to look forward to.
Here's the second soundbite.
Ultimately, our goal is to make sure the people who are looking for a job can find a job.
That's good.
That's why it's so important for the Senate to pass the additional steps that I've asked for to cut taxes and expand lending for America's small businesses.
He hasn't done it yet.
Our most important engine for hiring and for growth.
Right.
And a small business jobs bill that contains these measures may come up for a final vote in the Senate in the next few days.
Right.
It was heartened that Senators Lemieux and Senator George Moinovich, Kroger, Cross party uh lines to help pass this lending provision last night.
And I hope we can now finish the job and pass the small business jobs plan without delay and without additional partisan wrangling.
So there you have it, a bunch of mealy mouthed nothing.
But we are congratulating ourselves, man.
The economy's back.
Look at everything that's happened.
All this great stuff had happened in Washington this week.
How's it working for you?
Now, out in Las Vegas, there is something called a nut roots convention.
A lot of these really insane, I mean, literally insane left-wing bloggers, these acne-faced, zit-faced little people, dare to show up in public one time a year at their nut roots convention.
These are the people who desperately want to matter.
And they have the creme to the creme out there speaking to them.
They got MSNBC hosts who are out there inspiring them.
I've been reading the Washington Post has actually written about this.
Even Carl Cameron of Fox is out there covering all of this.
John Fund of the Wall Street Journal is out there.
The reports I'm getting are that the people who are attending the Nut Roots Convention are despondent.
They are depressed, angry, fit to be tied.
Every other word in public in speeches is a profanity.
The F bomb is being dropped multiple times a sentence.
These people cannot contain their anger.
They are angry at the regime.
They're angry at Obama.
They are angry at the um at the whole Democrat apparatus.
And I've I read this, and I I've put myself in their shoes.
If I, if if all of us had as much of our agenda accomplished in 18 months as these people have, would we not be giddy?
And yet these people aren't.
Now why is it?
Well, in the first place, they're never happy, number one.
Number two, they can never be satisfied.
This is something that all of our people in the Republican Party are going, and I'm serious now, gonna have to figure out.
You can cross the aisle all day long thinking you're compromising and scoring points and advancing whatever comedy or uh can't we all just get along with each other ism?
But nothing is ever enough.
They could get everything they want, and it wouldn't be enough because it didn't happen fast enough, or it didn't happen with enough rage, or didn't happen with enough anger propelling it.
Nothing makes them happy.
This is why it is silly to concede anything to them.
And I'm being dead serious here.
It is serious to concede anything to them in their agenda, thinking it'll slow them down or buy them off or make them happy because it will not.
The left is addicted to self-righteous anger.
And they are never ever happy and they are never satisfied.
They are addicted to their own bile.
Do you people know what bile is?
Snerdly, do you know what bile is?
You know what it is.
It's disgusting.
They are addicted to it.
These people are the kind of people who, when you aspirate, they like it.
They love the taste, they love inhaling their own bile.
They love getting to the point of almost drowning.
That's how sick they are.
They're out there.
Their whole convention is nothing more than a free-flowing, never-ending supply of bile.
And they are just, it's the Washington Post is reporting about this.
I've got it somewhere here in the stack.
I mean, I could give you examples, but I I'd have to, I'd have to it's profane.
What these what these people are or some of these people are saying from the stage.
And yet, look, they've got health care.
They got um that they've got they've got their uh uh their financial regulatory reform, they've got all of these things.
They got their stimulus, they've got government growing faster, they've got the private sector shrinking, they have got redistributionist schemes left and right, they got tax increases coming in six months, and they're miserable.
They got car companies, they own them, they own the banks.
They even have a car company that took over a private sector lender yesterday.
Obama Motors.
And what Ford, what if Ford Motors shows a larger profit than government motor motors did, and they're mad about that.
They own the student loan industry.
They're very close to getting the public options, single player and health, and they are livid in Las Vegas.
They are angry as they can be, they're fit to be tight, they're talking about running away from the Democrats.
Getting rid of Max Baucus.
Getting rid of all these Democrats who are letting them down.
And you and I, if we were in their shoes, and we got as much as they've got, we got it as much of our agenda as they've got of theirs in 18 months.
Can you imagine the big high we would be on?
We'd be inspired and motivated to go even further.
This it's it's kind of like you know, you have the nut roots out there, and they're going after the Democrat Party, it's like the Sunnis attacking the Shiites.
In Iraq, it's like Hamas going after the PLO.
It's like Hezbollah going after Hamas.
It's like the Iranians getting mad at Habad's.
I mean, it's for not wiping out Israel soon enough.
You've got the leader of the regime dissing the state of Israel left and right, dissing Great Britain, sending back the Churchill bust.
This regime is showing its contempt for this country every day, and they're still not happy.
It's uh it's funny to watch.
Look at you go to New York.
You people in New York, you already pay skyrocketing state income taxes.
If you live in Manhattan, you pay city income taxes.
You pay the highest cigarette taxes, you pay high sales taxes.
From CBS eyeball news in New York.
There was a move yesterday to spin garbage into gold.
Mayor Bloomberg said he's thinking about plugging his budget gap by charging New York City residents a fee for trash removal.
They already pay for trash removal how many times.
They pay for trash removal.
I don't know how many times it's redundant.
City residents produce 11,000 tons of trash every day.
Collecting it is covered by taxes, but there is a proposal to separate garbage collection from general taxes and charge people for what they throw away based on how much that is.
One resident said, I'm I'm very much against this.
I think we pay a lot of taxes already.
You do, but not nearly enough.
So Obama, the Democrats have pay as you go.
In New York, it's pay as you throw.
Every time you throw something away, you're gonna pay.
The trash tax.
Only in a city run by liberals would this situation arise.
Only in a city run by liberals would confiscatory taxation not be enough to run the city.
So here we have the Harvard educated ruling class with the help of their union buddies, taxing New York City into bankruptcy.
Didn't they create this new idiotic trash tax to pay for public sector pensions and salaries that should have been cut a long time ago?
I have an idea.
You know, we here at EIB, we are oriented towards solutions.
We don't just complain.
We don't just DI itch about things.
We actually offer solutions, and here's one.
For Mayor Bloomberg's pay as you throw tax.
Encourage residents with mounds of trash to trade it with trashless residents for a small fee.
Let's have, instead of carbon cap and tax, let's have trash and tax.
Let's have trash credits.
Because obviously a lot of New Yorkers have a much greater amount of trash than other New Yorkers.
Some New Yorkers are very clean, produce no trash whatsoever.
I personally know a bunch of New Yorkers who don't even use toilet paper.
You imagine they don't have much trash.
So we need trash credits.
Make trash trading fun and profitable.
Goldman Sachs and Al Gore can work out the details here.
They can be the arbiters of how all of this works.
Simply take what we've learned from how to deal with global warming.
That's pollution, is it not?
Trash is pollution.
Trash credits.
Make it work, Mayor Bloomberg.
Forget blanket taxation for everybody else.
You don't have enough people with enough money left to make this work.
You know, we're sitting here since everybody's buzzing in Vietnam about Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
We are too.
We're buzzing about Chelsea Clinton's well.
We're wondering if there is a Lewinsky in Chelsea's husband's future.
Readings and welcome back.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh.
Let's grab, let's grab a phone call since it's open line Friday, Greenville, South Carolina.
Regina, thank you for calling.
Nice to have you here.
Hi, thank you.
How are you, Rush?
Yeah, I'm Rush.
I said, How are you, Rush?
Fine, I'm fine, thank you.
That's great.
I was uh calling because I wanted to ask you.
Um you're making a big hubbub about Chelsea Clinton's wedding and about how the Clintons are spending two million dollars on her wedding.
No, no, other people.
I don't think it's a Clinton's money, that's the point.
Well, okay, okay.
Somebody, somebody somewhere spending two million dollars on Chelsea Clinton's.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And we all know that you spent at least a million dollars, or somebody spent at least a million dollars on your wedding to have Elton John thing.
See, that's that's what you think you know, because it was reported in the fake media.
But I'm here I am I'm here to tell you that that that that number is incorrect.
I wish it were.
I wish it were correct, but it's it's incorrect.
But you did pay him to sing at your wedding.
Pardon me.
I did, yes.
Yes, with my money.
With my money.
Will you tell us how much you spent to have him sing at your wedding?
Well, no, I'm that's classless to do that.
I was not, I'm not but by the way, I'm my comment on the Clinton spending two million at a wedding, I would care.
They want to spend two million of somebody else's money on on on their daughter's wedding, that's fine with me.
I wasn't what what makes you think that I was taking off.
Well, you were saying that, you know, that would feed a lot of hungry children and everything, and I realize you're just making a point.
Well, that's what the Clintons always say.
No, just I love to take the Democrats' own words and throw it right back at them.
You know, they're they're the ones that don't think we have the smarts to spend our money the right way.
They're the ones who told we need to pay high taxes because remember Bill Clinton said uh uh uh no attack ever fed a hungry child.
Well, no wedding ever did either.
Right.
I think you're saying it.
I just I I was amazed that you would bring up the cost of her wedding after it was all over the media about at least part of the cost of your own.
I didn't bring up the cost.
I reported what they're a buzz about in Vietnam.
Vietnam is a buzz about the fact that the it's an Asian news network that reported the cost of the wedding, and they're guessing isn't it two million bucks?
All right, so I'm headed out to Vegas, and I am not one of the nut root members.
I I'm actually I love you, Rush.
I didn't say you were waiting.
You're defending a charge that has not been made.
I did not say that you were a member of the Nut Roots.
Are you in Las Vegas?
No, you're in the I'm saying because you just talked about it, and I I'm I am actually on my way out to Vegas.
I get it.
I'll go out there that you don't want me to misunderstand the nature and the tone of your call.
Right.
I can take I love you too.
I'm glad you called.
I really am.
Okay.
Uh but look at how uh what did it come across as I was bashing Chelsea?
Did it come was I bashing the amount?
All I said was the Clintons aren't paying for it.
That's my guess.
Democrats don't pay for anything with their own money.
We do.
They're the ones that do everything from donors and fundraising and and uh and everything else.
Now, if they if they are paying a portion of it with their own money, then good.
More power to them.
I just don't believe it.
Plain and simple.
I just got a note.
I just gotta see.
Uh let's see.
I've not seen it.
Uh the good wife TV show.
Guy just called.
Uh, they want you to play yourself in an upcoming episode.
They're sending me the info.
I'll send it on to you.
I'll get it to you, ASAP.
Just wanted to give you a heads up and it's coming.
They want you to play yourself as a client of one of the lawyers.
I have not seen the show.
I don't know what the show is.
I think it's about some uh uh politician's wife who's been wronged.
Does she sta?
Yeah, trying to get on with her life?
She leaves the guy or she stay with the guy?
We don't know.
He was involved in a scandal.
Okay.
Uh well, I don't know what it is.
We'll wait and see.
