Time Text
Look at there, folks.
The media breathlessly awaiting a federal judge's ruling on California's proposition eight.
Federal judge appointed by George Bush will determine whether or not all the subject of gay marriage is constitutional or not.
Remember, the people of California said no.
It isn't.
And of course that never settles it, what the people say.
Ruling class has to get in on.
Whatever this judge rules today, it's going to be appealed.
It'll go to the Ninth Circus, and it'll be appealed at the Ninth Circus.
It's going to get to the Supreme Court.
And so one of the things that many of us on the right are always concerned about an issue that has no business being decided before the courts, a political issue, is going to be decided by a court at some point.
Whatever the decision is, it's it's uh this is this is how we got Roe versus Wade.
So whatever this judge says today doesn't mean anything.
And in the final analysis, I mean, well, I take it back.
If the if the judge sides with the people of California doesn't look good, but it's still got to go to Ninth Circus, Ninth Circus could overturn it, overthrow it, and it goes to the Supreme Court.
And depending on who's on the Supreme Court by the time it gets there, you know, if Obama's able to stack that court 5-4 with the political liberals rather than judges, then if I tell you if it if Obama gets a 5-4 Supreme Court his way.
Well, I'm not gonna say it's over, but it's over for a while.
Welcome back, Rushlin Boy, 800-282-288-2.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
What what what?
How do I think Kagan would vote on same-sex marriage?
Don't make me laugh.
It's not a softball questi.
How would Elena Kagan vote on?
Not a softball question.
Well, at least I'm able to laugh about this.
Uh email address L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
All right, you gotta hear this next soundbite, folks.
You have to hear this.
It's his doofus Gibbs, White House press secretary.
Everything's all fine now.
Uh oil spill, what oil spill?
It may as well not have spilled.
It may as well not have leaked.
There wasn't any.
We can't find it.
No damage, no big deal.
So just a gene Lubchenko after the the NOAA administrator Jean Lubchenko and Thad Allen uh had updated the press on the disappearing oil from the spill.
During the QA, a reporter said to Gibbs, well, what do you think?
What do you think Noah's level of credibility ought to be on the conclusion this dramatic and pivotal when there were points in the process where Noah was insisting the amount of oil was leaking.
Uh while it was disastrous.
This is a worst environmental disaster in history, and now they can't find it.
Any big deal.
I mean, where what what Gibbs do you think the credibility is going to be?
Get to the It's important to understand that this event happened 5,000 feet below the surface at a well that was several miles below that 5,000 foot point.
We were measuring the flow rate, basically of an opened coat can five thousand feet below the ocean, using the best available technology that we had at the time, without the benefit of knowing how big the coat can was.
Folks, now they're quoting me.
The New York Times, after 105 days, eh, never mind.
No big deal.
Can't find the oil.
And now Gibbs says, look at credibility, you gotta keep in mind that what we weren't talking that much oil in the first place.
Talking about a coke can, 5,000 feet below the Gulf of Mexico.
Gibbs, the analogy is the amount of oil that leaked was equivalent to a 24-ounce can of beer or soda or what have you inside the superdome if it was filled with water.
That's how insignificant an amount we're talking about in terms of oil.
So Gibbs, now this is the regime.
This is the regime which for 50 days tried to make hay off the worst environmental disaster ever.
And so some reporters say, what about your credibility here?
I mean, you guys are talking about all this disaster and oil, and now you can't find it.
Well, you gotta remember.
5,000 feet down, there's a Coke can.
Now the regime quotes me.
And they well, I mean, still I know, but they don't quote me.
I mean, they quote me without mentioning me.
I mean, I am the authority on this.
This is just stunning.
I mean, what a look at the 180 turnaround.
They did everything they could to make this a disaster to advance their agenda.
And now it's just a cocaine.
Just a just a coat can.
All right.
Uh Dave Weigel, I think is how you pronounce the reporter's name at Slate.
Now, Dave Weigel.
You may not know this.
Some of you might.
Dave Weigel was recently canned by the Washington Post.
He was a blogger who reported on the conservative movement.
He was a blogger who reported on conservative.
He was supposedly a conservative, hired by the Post.
I think this guy was also a journalister.
At any rate, he came he made a controversial post.
He said something I don't even remember what it was.
I'll find out pretty soon, but it was insulting.
I it was such that the Washington Post felt pressured to remove him from the blog at their website where they analyzed conservatives.
Because you know, we're a bunch of circus acts.
So they have to have specific experts assigned to analyze us and what we believe.
And they had to get rid of the guy.
Now he is surfaced at Slate.
Do you know who owns Slate?
The Washington Post.
So they didn't fire the guy.
They just moved him.
And he is not a conservative.
He's never been anywhere near a conservative.
I didn't read any of his stuff.
I mean, I why should I listen to some liberal tell me about me?
I total waste of time.
Mr. Weigel has a post today entitled The Ghost of Willie Horton.
Will the GOP play the race card on Wrangell and Waters?
Here's how his piece begins.
The commercial that keeps Democrats up at night does not exist yet.
If or when it does, they expect it to look like this.
Fade into black and white image of Representative White Guy Blue Dog looking sleazy and pale as he messily eats a sandwich.
Narrator, what is your Congressman trying to hide?
Images of Charles Wrangell and Representative Maxine Waters appear behind the Congressman, looking just as sleazy but much less pale.
Narrator says, why hasn't he returned the $1,000 he took from the Harlem Democrat Charlie Wrangell, who's facing a trial for cheating on his taxes?
Why did he oppose investigating Democrat Maxine Waters who got a tax break for her husband's business and says that American spies invented crack cocaine?
The images of Waters and Wrangell fade and are replaced by slow-motion footage of two members of the new Black Panther Party stalking outside of a polling place in 2008.
The narrator says, why did he support Obama's lawyers when they dropped a case against the racist new Black Panther Party, a hate group that threatened voters in the last election?
The image of the Panthers fade.
The Congressman morphs into Barack Obama.
The narrator says, What is the Congressman trying to hide?
Is there something about him we should know?
Since last week's double shot of rotten ethics news, the investigation of Randall's and uh Wrangle and Waters, Democrats have contemplated two potential nightmares.
The first is Republicans will use the troubles of Wrangle and Waters to try to depress the Democrats' African American base, making them less likely to come to the rescue of endangered incumbents.
The second is that Republicans will use the embattled committee chairs, Wrangle and Waters, the way they once used Willie Horton as Halloween masks in TV ads.
In 2006, a Democrats could have put out ads about Mark Foley, and it wouldn't have made any difference whether they use pictures of him or not, said the irrelevant Bob Schrum, Democrat strategist for multiple presidential campaign losers, who now teaches at New York University and warns of Republican race baiting in the weeks ahead.
In 2010, if Republicans put up pictures of Wrangler Waters, they're putting them there to elicit another kind of response.
That would be fear among white voters.
See where this is going.
So we have two disgraced Democrat members of Congress, totally ethically challenged.
And the Democrats and this Weigel guy now writing a piece.
They're Republicans.
It was a murderer who was furloughed and committed murder while on furlough.
Furloughed by the loser, Michael Dukakis.
It was an accurate commercial, but it was said to have played on racist fears.
The Democratic angst comes in part because they know they're facing a whiter, older electorate this year than they faced in 2008.
The electorate that put Obama into office and pulled in new vulnerable Democrats was 74% white.
53% were older than 45 in 2006, the last midterm election and a fine year for Democrats overall the electorate, 79% white, 63% were 45 or older.
Will an older, whiter electorate in November 2010 be susceptible to a racially tinged message from the Republicans?
One Democrat congressional aide said you'll notice conservatives always refer to Wrangell as Harlem Democrat Charlie Wrangell.
Get it?
Get it?
Get what?
Does he represent Harlem or what?
Now, Mr. Weigel, you should have been listening to this program yesterday.
If you had been, you would know that the Congressional Black Caucus is upset not at me.
And not at the Republicans.
They're upset at Obama.
It was Obama who said, you know, Wrangle, he served a long time.
Time to time to retire with dignity.
It is the Obama White House not showing solidarity with either Wrangell or Waters because both of them endorsed Hillary.
The Congressional Black Caucus has people who are speaking publicly about their being upset with the Obama regime, not about Republicans.
The racism that exists as it always does is to be found in the Democrat Party.
And now here comes that there's not a commercial yet.
We don't have a commercial.
And already they're in panic and fear at Slate, worrying about the next Willie Horton.
Why?
Because it worked.
The Willie Horton ad was effective.
And it was effective because it was true.
But they said it incited racist fear.
Let me tell you something.
You Mr. Weigel and the rest of you at Slate, the Democrat Party, you have a bigger problem than whatever the Republicans do.
The latest Gallup poll shows that Obama has got an approval rating of 41%, 38% among whites.
President Obama is in trouble with the people of this country.
He's even lost 10 to 12% of the black vote.
Where is the where is the number?
In yesterday's Gallup poll, Obama's job approval rating averaged 88% among blacks.
That's off about 10 to 12%.
Obama is losing the support of human beings in America.
Now a child of 26, Mr. Weigel, could easily predict that the Democrats and their lapdogs in the partisan political operative media will portray any black Democrat lack of ethics as alternately Republican racism.
Okay, so you've got Wrangell who's ethically challenged.
Maxine Waters is ethnically challenged, and what we what do we have?
We have Republican racism.
Yet we don't have it yet.
We don't even have the ad.
So you're talking about genuine ethics violations on the part of Wrangle and Waters, and that equals what Republican racism?
Or a Republican attack machine powered by the racist Tea Party, or both.
The first person, Mr. Weigel, the first person to mention the Massachusetts furlough program in the 1988 presidential campaign was Al Gore, a Democrat during a debate at the Felt Forum sponsored by the New York Daily News.
It was Al Gore who brought up Willie Horton.
So now they're they're panicked out there, and all of a sudden Republican racism is rearing its ugly head when the Republicans haven't said anything.
It's Obama that's effectively throwing Waters and Wrangell overboard, throwing them under the bus.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, we've had stories, Washington Post, New York Times, that Obama's not one of them.
He wasn't I. It was the LA Times, Mr. Weigel, that wrote the column Barack, the magic Negro, because he's not down for the struggle.
It was you Democrats all during the campaign of 08, wondering and speculating about Barack Obama's authenticity.
It wasn't us.
We simply reported what you said.
Here's an audio soundbite from yesterday, Talk of the Nation on NPR.
The fill-in host Tony Cox was talking to Princeton professor of African American Studies, Cornell West, during a discussion of Obama and the black community.
And the fill-in host Tony Cox said, Have you communicated to Professor West with Obama personally?
That seems for two and a half weeks.
And he made a beeline to me, though, brother, and he was deeply upset.
He talked to me like I was a Cub Scout and he was a pack master.
You know what I mean?
I respect my dear brother, but I don't like to be demeaned and humiliated in that way, and I didn't get a chance to respond to him.
And I hope maybe at some time we can, but it was very uh ugly kind of moment, it seems to me, and it and it that disturbs me because then I it raises a question for me.
Does he have a double standard for black critics as opposed to white critics?
Mr. Weigel, this is Cornell West, esteemed professor of race at Princeton, saying that Barack Obama made him feel like a Cub Scout.
And he, Cornell West was the Cub Scout, and he was the Obama was the pack master.
Very ugly kind of moment, disturbed Cornell West, raises the question for me does Obama have a double standard for black critics as opposed to white critics?
Cornell West black.
Um where I sit, Mr. Weigel, and what I hear what I'm reading, the racial friction that erupted during the 2008 presidential primary Democrat side has not abated.
It's still there big time in the Democrat Party today.
I remember who this Weigel guy is now.
This Weigel guy is the guy who the reason he got canned, well, moved from the Washington Post is he said he hoped Matt Drudge set himself on fire.
Or burned up in a fire or some such thing.
Set himself on fire.
When I was in hospital Hawaii, this this Weigel guy said he hoped I failed.
Uh and and that was okay with him.
But when he said they hope Drudge set himself on fire, that was too much for the Washington Post.
They couldn't keep him with the Washington Post.
So they move him over to Slate, which uh which they own.
He was a journalist guy, was on journalists.
Okay, so now here we have this this wizard of smart Dave Weigel equating in this whole piece, equating Charlie Wrangle and Maxine Waters with Willie Horton and dares to call us racist.
Now they're Obama has plunged to 41% approval, 38% among whites, and they haven't the Republicans haven't run a single ad against Obama yet.
The Republicans are spending most of their time ripping up on Michael Steele for crying out loud.
Republicans haven't run a single ad against Obama.
Whatsoever.
So Wrangell and Waters apparently break the ethics rules with all kinds of self dealing.
They are investigated by Democrat Congress.
And it's the Republicans who get blamed in the end.
And of course, they shouldn't say anything about this.
No, no, no.
The Republicans don't say a word.
The Republicans should not link this to Democrat corruption.
No, no, no.
Only Democrats can say Republicans are corrupt.
But Republicans can't say Democrats are corrupt.
Do I have this about right?
I think I do.
I'm I'm I'm sure that Weigel, this disgraced former Washington Post blogger, now demoted to Slate.com, was very upset when the Democrats were using corruption against the Republicans in 2006, gay bashing and all the rest, R. E. Mark Foy.
I'm sure that Weigel was terribly upset about that.
This is the guy that the Washington Post assigned as a blogger to um report on conservatives.
So now he equates Wrangle and Waters with Willie Horton in an ad that has not even been written or produced, except by him.
He wrote the ad.
He wrote the ad he claims we're working on.
Somehow we're racist for an ad we haven't written, we haven't produced, that he's conjured up in his own perverted mind.
This is how it works.
Dave Weigel, W E I G E L, journalist, a partisan political operative disguised as a reporter.
You know, I want to I want to settle something once and for all.
Today, on my own program here on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, and behind this, the Golden EIB microphone.
I, Rush Limbaugh, am not a racist.
I dislike Mr. Obama's white half just as much as I dislike Mr. Obama's black half.
Now moving on, here we have Dave Weigel, who decides whatever he wants to call racism is racism, and he creates an ad.
He writes it.
An ad has not been written yet.
He compares Charlie Wrangle and Maxine Waters to Willie Horton, a convicted raper, personatist, rapist, murderer, what have you.
From the Associated Press, as a racial firestorm erupted last month, the White House buzzed with questions and concerns about the forced ouster of a black agriculture department employee, but no one stepped in to stop Secretary Tom Vilsack from pressuring Shirley Sherrod to quit.
A decision administration officials from Obama on down now say was a mistake.
Interviews with White House and agriculture department officials reveal a greater level of White House involvement in the incident than officials initially let on, with staff, White House staff making calls to Capitol Hill and civil rights groups and senior administration officials speaking to Vilsack,
most notably, White House staff expressed concerns early on that Sherrod's remarks about race may have been taken out of context.
So now we find out.
Guess what?
While they dumped on Vilsack early, now they're dumping on him even more.
We at the White House, we were concerned from their get-go.
It's the White House demanded she get canned.
It's the White House from whom she got a phone call, pulled her off the side of the road.
You better quit before Fox gets on this.
We want you out of there.
Now all of a sudden, damage control.
White House.
No, no, no.
We were really involved in this.
Well, we were doing, we were trying to get Vilsack.
Don't buckle to this pressure.
That AP story, this APC, who wrote this piece?
Julie Pace spelled P A C E. This, this story is filled with lies from top to bottom.
This is revisionist history.
This is I mean, it it it it it it this is an attempt by the White House with their with their partisan political operative media to make it look like they were in her corner from the get go.
They're pretending they never had the full text of her comments and final remarks.
Anyway, my point in all this is that the racial discord that is effervescent today in American politics is in the Democrat Party.
And it emanates from the White House.
And just go to the news media yesterday and look at all the comments in the Congressional Black Caucus members are not happy with Obama and the way he's not standing up and defending Maxine Waters and Charlie Wrangell.
It ain't us.
And we're not writing any ads.
We haven't produced any ads.
So the White House, this AP story said that Vilsack went off half cocked.
Out not lie.
The White House was behind it.
This is a an amazing story.
It's out of uh coming Georgia.
Coming Georgia.
Georgia wildlife officials said they are searching for a large beaver that bit a man on the leg and arm while he was fishing on the Lake Lanier in Forsyth County.
Authorities said that Russ McTindle was fishing when he saw the mammal, which he estimated to weigh 35 to 40 pounds.
That is a huge beaver.
Uh came at him quickly.
When the beaver got close enough, I whacked it a couple times with a fishing rod.
At Beeger, a beaver even speeded up.
Beaver got to the bank at Beaver came get kept on jumping.
Whack whacked a beaver with the rod.
The beaver bit him.
And this is not to be confused with uh whatever it was Jimmy Carter saw as a rabbit as a killer rabbit.
Yeah, Jimmy Carter saved us me uh killer rabbit.
The phones, Dumas, Texas.
Sam, thank you for waiting.
Your turn on the EIB network.
Hi.
Well, it's an honor talking to you, sir.
Thank you.
My question would be when do you think Hillary's gonna put her two weeks' notice in?
Oh, you mean resigned to run against Obama?
Yes, sir, with his numbers at 41%.
You know she's with her making these bold statements against Iran and North Korea.
She's putting her name out there.
Well, I have to I've openly speculated on this program that's something that uh that that Mrs. Clinton Clintons might be planning on doing.
I have no clue uh other than speculation as to whether or not Mrs. Clinton is in fact going to do so.
I I'm fairly confident that uh Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are chomping at the bit to do it.
I'm fairly confident they would love to get back in the White House, but I don't know if they're going to mount a challenge in 2012.
They may not know yet either.
Depends on a lot of things.
Jamie in Georgetown, Florida, your next.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
How are you doing, sir?
Very well, thank you.
Well, um, first of all, um, I appreciate you taking my time, and I'd like to apologize to you to you.
Um I believe America, we're a family, and I hear Democrats always say, well, shared sacrifice, shared sacrifice.
Well, that would be ten for a dime, but their tax program is one for a dollar.
Well, my whole life when I was able to work, I never got a job from a poor person.
It was a rich person that gave me that opportunity to go along with them with their dream and become successful.
And I just don't feel it's right what they're doing to y'all.
I might not be rich, but I'm an American and I have a right to try to be rich.
What are you apologizing for?
I'm an American and my government is is I mean, they're bad.
Oh, you're and I feel sorry for that.
Oh, oh, oh.
I thought you were I thought you had said something to me in a previous call.
No, sir.
I'm apologizing to you as an American with what my government is doing to you.
People that have given us opportunity.
I get it.
You're calling to apologize on behalf of the American people.
Because I'm one of the group of people being targeted by Obama.
Yes, sir.
And I'm one of the group of people that's uh creates jobs.
You've been villainized for giving us an opportunity to try to come along and see your dream and be successful.
Right, that's true.
And you've given me that chance and that opportunity.
That's true.
It's very true.
Now my government, our our government, is making you out to be the bad guy.
The last time I saw a government do this, um, instead of being rich, they called them Jews.
Mm-hmm.
And I don't think it's just not fair, sir.
And I I I would like to personally apologize.
Well, I I uh I appreciate this.
Um thank you, Jamie from Georgetown, Florida.
He's uh is correct.
Uh people like me have been demonized and villainized.
And he, on behalf of the rest of the country, is apologizing.
I it's not your business to apologize for Obama, but I appreciate I appreciate the uh the sediment.
You know, this is August.
Do you know it's uh National Inventors Month?
Did you know that?
And yeah, it is.
It's National Inventors Month.
And we have a what was I thinking moment?
What was I thinking?
Sponsored by LegalZoom.com, early 90s inventor, Mati Mokinen of Finland never thought to patent his multi-billion dollar invention.
He invented a multi-billion dollar enterprise that he did not patent.
Out I will tell you, no, it was not the breast pump.
I said, why'd you say that?
Did you do you just saw?
Wendy said it.
No, because I thought you might have said that because Giselle Bunchon was just on television saying that breastfeeding should be made mandatory.
Where does this come from?
She's Tom Brady's wife.
Breastfeeding should be mandatory.
Who said what when did that how did that enter the political arena?
Breastfeeding should be mandatory.
I mean, if your mother's Marilyn Monroe, yeah, I can see her Dolly Parton, but what how do you you wouldn't even know that young at any rate?
Uh Marty Mackinen did not create the breast pump.
That's not what he forgot to patent.
I'll tell you his oversight in a minute.
Inventors, writers, artists, and musicians.
Don't make the mistake that Mati Mottin and me, Mukinen made.
Use legal Zoom.
They are your best friend.

Go to legalzoom.com.
That's legalzoom.com.
By the way, Mr. Mr. Mr. Weigel at Slate.com.
Maxine Waters and Charlie Wrangell have not just been thrown overboard.
They have been thrown on the scrap heap of history by President Obama.
Not by us.
We don't have we don't have the ability to get Rid of Waters or Wrangle or any other Democrat.
Any way, shape, manner, or form.
You see, you know, speaking of patents.
Imagine how rich one of us would be, could be, if we had patented blaming Bush.
And that's become a cottage industry.
Chad in Omaha, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Hello, Rush.
Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you, sir.
Um, years ago, um, I listened to you, I've been listening to you for a long time.
I'm 34 years old, and you made a comment that class warfare is not the answer.
There's nothing that can be solved by that.
Basically, what you said was you either go to college or you work hard to become something.
I started at a uh company, been there fourteen years, didn't know anything about the place, but I knew they had good ownership, so uh worked hard, and now I'm moved all the way up to business development, got a good job, and uh I just think Obama needs to know that if you work hard for things, you don't have to have a handout, you just gotta be willing to work for it.
And I thank you for your advice years ago, and I'll keep listening to you.
Thank you very much, Chad.
I appreciate it.
The thing that you have to know is Obama knows what you just said.
Yes, he does.
He knows it, he resents it.
He doesn't want industriousness.
He wants you turning to government.
That's what gives him power.
If you succeed, he wants what you have.
He wants to spread the wealth.
He wants to redistribute.
If you succeed, Chad, it marks you as unfair.
You have an unfair advantage over those who haven't.
And you are guilty of the unjust, immoral ways that America has been structured.
Because the way Obama looks at it, if everybody doesn't succeed, which of course is not possible, then the country is a failure.
And those who do succeed have um gamed the system.
Those who have succeeded have done it unfairly, and he's going to take what you have.
Obama's slogan, were he to have been honest during the 2008 presidential campaign.
I've got what it takes to take what you've got.
Because that's essentially that sums up.
Barack Obama.
Now, some people might say, Rush, how'd how does Obama know this?
He's never had to work hard for anything.
I it's a good point.
But he knows it because he sees it.
He sees there are people who have succeeded.
He resents it.
Partially because he hasn't.
But regardless.
Rocky in uh in Sumter, South Carolina, glad you waited.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
Hello, sir.
How are you today?
Very well, thank you.
Good.
Uh the gentleman who answers the phone is very, very, very polite.
I just had to say that.
Um I don't want to come across wrong on this, but all the oil that BP did lose in the in the Gulf spill.
Yeah, I feel bad for how much oil they did have to lose.
And I also feel bad that now that they actually lost all this oil, people are now knocking BP like there for whatever reason an enemy anymore.
What who do you feel bad for?
I feel bad for BP personally.
That they lost all that oil.
Yes, sir.
And I also feel bad for the people, all the fishermen in the golf set.
I mean, I do feel bad for everybody out there.
Please don't get me wrong.
It is a very devastating tragedy.
But why do you feel no seriously?
Why do you feel sorry or feel bad for BP because they lost the oil because they're not going to be able to realize the income from it that it's a financial loss?
Is that the Well, yeah, I mean the financial loss, the fact that now everybody is just anti-BP technically.
Yeah, I see your point.
So and if I may make one other point about the GM thing, I'd make a very quick Yeah, by all means.
Um, I do remember a few years back whenever uh a female caller called, she's very depressed, her and her husband just going through their business, and you offered to buy her a car.
But the stipulations was it had to be a GM vehicle.
And I bet you pretty much nobody remembers that.
You know, I had forgotten that.
I had forgotten, but you're exactly right.
A great memory out there, Rocky.
Somebody make a note remark.
I want to talk about his point about the lost oil tomorrow.
Don't have time to squeeze it in today.
But the the the real point is it wasn't that much.
You didn't notice the price of oil going up because supply went down, did you?
I mean, the oil speculators, this was a non-existent amount of oil.
There's so much we've got.
This didn't even move the markets at all.
It was Belinda in Carville, Texas, Kerrville, Texas, who wanted a car to keep their business going.
She wanted an SUV and required that she buy a GM product.
She went and bought a Tahoe.
Well, and I we bought it for here at the EIB Network.
That's what the caller was talking about.
We did do that.
See you tomorrow, folks.
