Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 Podcast.
I made Hank Haney really mad yesterday.
Well, I made Hank.
No, no, not I haven't practiced since I last had a lesson.
I made Hank Haney really mean it's right.
Remind me high school football.
We lost a game.
We knew practicing next week was going to be a BI itch.
Oh, five straight hours on the range with one club.
A seven-iron.
No breaks.
And we went into the putting seminar, the putting center, where they put all this equipment on your putter.
Infrared uh laser beams and so forth to measure everything about your stroke.
It's about a 15-foot putt.
I made five out of six.
They spent 10 minutes telling me what I was doing wrong.
Greetings, Rush Limbaugh.
I'm not kidding.
Five out of six of them, and I got ten minutes because it's, you know, Hank's got to do his shtick on putting.
So I did five out of six.
I made them and had to sit there and I had to watch on the video screen, the impact, what was happening, clubhead, uh, the arc of my swing, the back swing, where it related to the pros, back swing, all the stuff.
Ten minutes worth of stuff on a computer monitor, but made five out of six.
If I'd have made six out of six, then I'd probably sit there in twenty minutes.
And you well, I don't know.
You no, you'll see more than the one.
Well, you you you might see just the one out of six.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Anyway, folks, great to have you here.
Rush.
My hands were bloodied yesterday.
Five straight hours.
My right hand, yeah, and blisters and all kinds of stuff.
Five straight hours on a break.
And I but I tell you what, you know, even there there was one point during the day, uh, we're inside the practice facility, and I'm video being videotaped, swing, ball contact, everything, and I'm finally pulling off something Haney's trying to teach me to do.
And I look around the golf channel, of course.
You guys get that, they're not there.
They are on a break.
I'm looking around and said, Do you guys get and there's nobody there?
Greetings, my friends.
L Rush Ball and the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Yes, what I did for fun.
Well, it was a lousy slate of games in the NFL yesterday.
I picked the Sunday that it would you just don't think it was lousy because you're um Cowboys won.
But it was a lousy slate of games.
You're gonna have Sundays like that in the NFL.
Anyway, uh great to have your folks.
800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
And don't get the wrong idea.
Hank was I played with Hawaii with a lot of time out there, and I haven't played since because I have a job.
Uh I've been busy, and uh you can see Hank is a little put out with me, a little sad little disappointment, so I paid for it.
Okay, you're not gonna practice.
Well, it's boot camp today, pal.
Bam, bam, bam.
One club, and of course, one of the reasons amateurs like me never go to instructors is because they tear you down and start you over again.
Because there is a right way to do this.
And he's trying to teach me the right way to do it, and I've been doing it wrong for 13 years.
But even doing it the wrong way, I score well now and then, but I'm not consistent with it, so I'm trying to try to get more consistent with this.
Uh, but it's tough starting all over.
And all you say, no, we're not we're gonna work with what you got, we'll just fine-tune it and tweak it.
It's all being torn down.
And it has to be because I got some things I do need to fix if I'm gonna improve the game.
And that's what he's trying to do.
But I mean, it was I've I've never spent five hours on a range, I've maybe ten minutes max to go out to the we never got out to a golf course.
We're going to Hank Haney Ranch in Dallas yesterday.
I thought we were gonna see cows and cattle and horses and so forth, but it's actually a professional golf training center, and uh and so forth.
Anyway, wonderful to have you here, folks.
Also, speaking of all this, people want to know when the air day.
This starts January 11th.
The the uh premier show for the golf channel Haney Project is January 11th on the golf channel number 218, channel 218 on your direct TV tuner.
And this coming Sunday night, the uh Family Guy episode starring me.
The title of the Family Guy episode is Excellence in Broadcasting.
The premise is I am in town for a book signing.
Of course, I haven't written a book in let's say uh four sixteen years, but I'm in the town where these this wacko family lives uh doing a book signing, and the family dog comes down to start giving me some grief, Brian, and I rescue the dog from some precarious situation.
Dog becomes a bit conservative, follows me around, and actually gets more conservative than I am, starts calling me a weenie and all sorts of stuff.
And we taped did this a year ago.
It takes it's a half-hour episode, I think, and it takes a year to animate these things.
So it was a year ago, and I got an email from Seth McFarland last night.
It's a premiere uh air date is this Sunday.
It's 9.30 uh Eastern and Pacific time.
And we've put Fox has relieved uh four pictures, four photos, car cartoon stills from the episode.
We've put them at our Facebook page, uh Facebook.com slash rush limbaugh.
And look, I looked at some of the comments that people have written, and they run they run the gamut.
Rush, sorry you had to lower yourself to be on that program.
I won't be watching.
Rush, are you that hard up?
You're doing this for money.
Well, I don't even know what I got paid to do this.
Whatever it is, it's it's union scale.
I I don't didn't do this for them.
I did this for the fun of it.
I've I've been in a couple of Family Guy episodes uh already, and I've I've got to know Seth McFarland pretty well.
Yeah, he's uh he's a Hollywood liberal when we get along.
He's uh Seth appreciates and has a great affection for professionals.
Now we're all professionals here.
And um it was, you know, this was hard work too.
I mean the in the uh in the sound booth of uh three or four days at four hours a time.
I even sing in this episode.
I sing, but I sang a song that I've never heard before, and so I really don't know what the melody was.
I had to guess.
And and Seth, you know, it was it was it's really interesting when I try to explain people because they can hear me and I can hear them, I can carry on a conversation.
It's tough for people to understand I cannot distinguish music melodies if I've never heard it before.
So he's singing the song in a bunch of different ways, trying to get me to live the melody.
And I said, Seth, I'm sorry, it all sounds the same note to me.
All I can do is imitate what I'm hearing you do.
I live in Republican town.
That's what it sounds like to me.
I don't know if that's what the song really is.
So I end up sort of talking it.
Uh, with my usual bravado and bombast and uh and so forth.
It was a lot of fun, and it's it's Sunday night.
Fox, by the way, is burying this on their on their PR page.
You have to go to the very you have to scroll all the way to the bottom.
It's like 25 pages of PR on their shows coming up this week, and they're burying it out there.
Uh that it that it airs.
And uh people ask me, Andrew Breitbart sent me a why why are they why did I have to look real hard to find out when this was that?
Probably because it's pretty good.
And it's the family guy has their own built-in audience.
It is, you know, it's it's not everybody's cup of tea.
I mean, this program crosses a line every night that it's on, it runs up to the border and goes over it.
But I uh I like Seth.
I was offered the opportunity to do it, and it was a new challenge.
And what the hell?
I'm into crossover.
I'll be I'll be happy to do it and and and see what happens.
I know some of this audience don't like the family guy.
It's you know, it it it's it is what it is.
But they didn't put any cursed words or foul mouth in my uh in my script.
You know, I am L. Rushbo.
Uh I come out looking like a champ on this thing.
So no, I've not seen it.
I I've not I've not seen it, but I don't care what the edited version.
There's not that there was nothing in the script that I would want them to edit out.
Um we do have some Haney photographs.
Uh I got some from Hawaii.
I don't particularly like them, so I haven't put them up.
Uh and they did send me one from yesterday.
You can see the intensity.
Uh on the one on the one yesterday.
I it's on my home computer.
I'll use I'll use my screen sharing app uh to go get it and maybe I'll have them put it up.
Yeah, I'll put it up.
I'll send it to Coco and we'll put either Facebook or uh or put it on our webpage, whatever.
But yeah, it was um intense.
Intense is a way to uh to describe this yesterday.
I don't know, you people that have never played golf, you don't understand.
They ought to make prisoners play the game.
That's how frustrating.
It is punishment to play the game.
Because it is so difficult.
Now there is, I say that there's one way to play the game.
There is there's one way to do it right.
There's one way to actually impact, strike the ball a correct way.
You can play the game, and if you don't mind not being very good, you can enjoy it.
But if you want to do it right, there's one way to no matter how you get there, whatever your swing looks like, but at the moment of impact, the ball strike, there's one way to do this right.
He's trying to teach me that.
And it's um it's tough because I have 13 years of they say muscle memory, muscles don't have memory, but I've got 13 years of of uh uh built-in physical behavior in my golf swing.
Anytime you start trying to change that, at age 59.
And I'm and uh after the after the uh taping of the episode, there's always a post-episode interview off camera, the producer's off-camera.
So he said, What do you think about today?
I said, I said, I gotta tell you, uh, if the lessons ended today, I could not make a triple bogey anywhere.
I didn't know in those five hours, I didn't hit one shot that I liked.
Not one, I didn't hit not one.
I maybe, maybe there was one the ball striking was correct.
Not one.
I did not hit the ball nearly as well as I do in my old incorrect way.
But that's the way it is.
Who knows?
Next time I go out, it may all click in.
At some point it has to, if I keep this up.
I mean, the challenge is to not revert to the old swing and the old patterns, the old memories that I have.
And there he's making some pretty good fixes in the swing and the swing plane and so forth, but not one shot.
So I'm telling the uh telling producer uh in the off-camera, no, there wasn't anything today I was particularly proud of, nothing that I was particularly happy about.
He said, Really?
I said, Well, this is reality TV, and then I mean you want to tell you the truth.
See, reality TV, folks, the other thing is just typical TV, but the script writers are not union.
That's it's what it is.
We almost had a meltdown at an Iranian nuclear plant.
They had this worm, this computer worm in there that got in.
Um here's the way it's described.
No damage or disruption of nuclear facilities has yet been reported, however.
The computer worm, dubbed Stuxnet, can take over systems that control the inner workings of industrial plants.
How could that be a problem in a nuclear plant?
I don't see the problem.
What could possibly go wrong with a computer worm taking over a especially in an Iranian plant?
And do you know how this happened?
The cheapskate thieves are using unlicensed copies of windows.
Here you have a major American government doesn't even have the guts to go out and buy copies of windows and a license.
They're ripe for takeover for crying out loud and and uh unlicensed.
And they put that at the end of the story, reporting this.
Also, this is totally believable.
Totally believable.
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.
I am not making this up.
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs was initially created as a small expert unit within the Secretariat to service the ad hoc committee on the peaceful uses of outer space established by the UN General Assembly in 13 December 1958.
It became a unit within the Department of Political and Security Council of Affairs in 1962.
Today, I'm not joking.
The United Nations has stepped up this, they have appointed somebody, A woman to be the leader when aliens land here and say, take me to your leader, the UN has appointed a woman to be that person.
I kid you not.
If aliens ever land on Earth, this is in the UK Daily Mail.
There will no longer be any confusion over who'll greet them with the news the United Nations is set to appoint an astrophysicist to be their first human contact.
Maslan Othman, expected to be tasked with coordinating humanity's response to an extraterrestrial visit.
They have created an office for her.
She's gonna sit there, and she's going to wait for E.T. to show up, or the space alien.
You know, I met with space aliens already.
Weekly World News had this.
Back in 1994, secret place in New Orleans.
They wanted me to they endorsed me.
Well, they endorsed me.
They wanted me to run for president.
We're trying to convince him they'd pledge all kinds of money.
Uh and I don't know if the Weekly World News got a hold of this, a cover picture.
Uh, and you know, aliens only shake hands left-handed.
I had to shake left-handed handshake.
But I mean, it's um it's all there.
Ms. Oltman, currently the head of the UN's Office for Outer Space Affairs, Yoon USA is the acronym, recently told fellow scientists that mankind needed to be ready to deal with alien contact.
She said the continued search for extraterrestrial communication by several entities sustains the hope that someday humankind will be receiving signals from extraterrestrials.
So when we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject.
UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.
And get this, uh Professor Richard Crowther, Professor, Professor Richard Crowther head of the UK delegation to the UN committee, admitted recently, Ms. Oltman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a take me to your leader person.
What do you think Obama's gonna think when he reads that?
Obama wants to be the guy.
I mean, he's got the ears, he's got the lead, he's got the looks, you know.
He and Carville, I think it'd be a perfect team.
Carvel looks like he was born on a UFO.
You could put Carvel and Obama, they could be the official greeters when you take me to your leader, you know, take him down to New Orleans, have some gumbo.
Uh Dumbo and Gumbo, have Obama get on uh here we are.
I'm not making this up.
This actually has happened.
They got a woman, she's sitting in an office waiting for a spaceship to land, a splying saucer, what have you, working on whatever she's going to say to them.
I don't know.
Every uh every time a UFOs land, I've noticed this, folks.
They always land, they never land at MIT.
They never land at Harvard, but they never landed at at uh at the UN.
They always land, you know, in a trailer park.
I'm gonna have to think about where to put this woman's office.
You know, people are laughing about this UFO stuff.
Don't forget now, in the debates and the 2008 presidential campaign, Dennis Kucinich was forced to admit that he'd seen a UFO and that he was uh very moved by it.
And I've got people saying, hey, Rush, a UFO landed in Central Park in a movie, the day the Earth Stood Still 2008.
Yeah, that was in a movie.
I mean, when they really land, they don't land in Central Park.
Hey, by the way, Dawn, Catherine wanted me to wish you a happy one-year anniversary.
She's hoping she has one too in uh in eight months.
Uh, let's see.
By the way, Family Guy promo now at the top of Fox's website on their on their uh carousel.
Uh, you know, somebody reminded me, what?
You do a family guy, Seth McFarland, Elton John?
You you've reached across the aisle more than the postpartisan Obama ever has.
You know, that's a pretty true uh observation out there.
Another person said, Rush, don't worry, that song probably didn't have a melody.
There haven't been melodies in music since the 90s.
Uh You people in the audience are on a roll today.
Did you say Rasmussen reports polling data?
Delaware, Senate 2010.
Democrat Chris Kuhn's lead over Christine O'Donnell shrinks when Delaware voters are given the option of voting for Mike Castle as a write-in.
So if Castle shows up as a write-in, he takes votes away from Coons, not away from Christine O'Donnell.
The same thing that in Alaska.
Lisa Murkowski is taking votes away from the Democrat out there.
Uh, not the not the Republican.
And uh Carl Rov on Fox today talking about the fact that polling data shows that the Republican Party becoming more and more ideologically conservative, which is not gonna please the ruling class Republicans who are not going to be excited about that, but there is something happening out there, and it continues to effervesce.
And we're gonna be talking about that and a lot of stuff as we keep on rolling.
We are back, America's real anchor man, the doctor of democracy, the truth detector, general all-around good guy, well-known radio raconteur Rush Limbaugh here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
This is really a sad thing.
The guy who owns the uh the Segway Company.
You know, these two-wheeler things you stand on and they roll around.
The guy drove the owner of the company drove his off a cliff and he died.
Now he's not the inventor.
He just bought the company.
Jim Heazeldon, the owner of the Segway Company, has died after riding one of the two-wheel machines off a cliff and into a river.
Say multimillionaire businessman fell into the river wharf while inspecting the grounds of his North Yorkshire estate on a rugged country version of the Segway.
A passerby found him alongside his Segway at the Boston Spa area about 1140 a.m. yesterday in the UK.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said police were called at 1140 yesterday for reports of a man in a river wharf apparently having fallen from the cliffs above.
He um founded his first company Hesco Bastions with his redundancy pay when he was laid off from the mines.
Uh Segway operation acquired by a UK-based company backed by this man, he didn't invent it.
There's a story.
This guy was apparently a good guy.
That's a shame, but I mean the irony here, you go out and buy this.
You remember when this thing came out, it was it was the it.
It.
It was the name was going to save the planet, it's going to save everything.
The last thing anybody thought was that anybody would die using one of these.
And now the owner of the company takes a header off a cliff.
One of these things.
You know when Harry Reid said of Kirsten Gillibrand the other day, was it Kirsten or Kristen?
It's Kirsten, Senator from New York.
When he said the other day she's hot, he said, where are the nags on this?
Well, the nags have spoken up.
A feminist group is demanding it dingy Harry apologized for calling Gillibrand the hottest senator.
Happened at a New York fundraiser hosted by the mayor Michael Bloomberg, Reed praised Kirsten Gillibrand for being the hottest member in the Senate.
When Politico asked Reed's office for clarification, the spokesman Jim Manley said, What can I say?
She made the Hill's most beautiful list.
Of course, he also went on to praise her skill and tenacity and described her as a perfect rubber stamp for Chuck Hugh Schumer.
She's exactly what we want in a senator.
Amy Siskine, the president co-founder of the New Agenda, told a Daily Caller website if Dingy Harry does not promptly voice regret that she and her group will be building a coalition against the senator and demanding a Mayakalpa.
How about working to get the pig unelected?
If you Feminazes wanted to be consistent here, you go out there and try to make sure that Dingy Harry didn't win re-elected.
After all, he's running against a woman.
But this is what's this is the feminazis are just a bunch of libs.
Feminazism is just liberalism.
It's just disguised as women's issues, because there's not a word, not a word about all the horrible stuff said about Christine O'Donnell, not a word about all the horrible stuff said about Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman.
But when a Democrat sexist pig senator calls a Democrat woman a hottie, why Katie Bardador nags awake from their slumber and it's uh get out of the way.
They're ticked off, can't handle it.
From the LA Times today.
Listen to this headline.
Politicians' money woes strike a cord with voters.
Georgia voter, this is a story actually out of uh Marietta, Georgia.
Georgia voter Bobby Huff has heard about the failed business venture and the big loan that has Nathan Deal, the state's gubernatorial frontrunner on the hook for more than two million dollars.
She's also heard that Nathan Deal, an 18-year veteran of Congress, will likely have to sell his house and liquidate other assets to cover the debt.
But she can't bring herself to render a stern judgment on the man just because he suffered in the recession.
After all, she said, who hasn't?
In some cases, adversaries point to these problems as examples of poor judgment and highlight perceived ethical lapses, but experts say they'd be wise to tread carefully in a time of widespread pain because voter sympathy may weigh into election day decisions.
Well, this takes us to Christine O'Donnell.
Christine O'Donnell went into debt.
She couldn't pay off a mortgage because she decided to do some pro bono legal work that she thought was important.
She didn't get paid, obviously pro bono.
And she's uh had some liens from the IRS placed on her.
And I remember when this when this all came up, I said, isn't this in this day and age a qualification?
I mean, a lot of people have had the IRS after them, and it's not pleasant.
It's one way to relate, but it's also a uh uh it's it's a two-way street here.
Now, in this case, uh, Nathan Deal, if he tries to start a business and has to sell his house to cover debt, this story says it's not necessarily a negative anymore.
That residents understand that they are in the same situation.
Well, let's take a look at the other side of this.
Um, how about the cronyism, the uh uh corporate cronyism, crony capitalism that exists between members of the ruling class and a political elite in the business community.
For example, look at Castle.
I mean, let's let's cut to the chase here on Mike Castle.
Mike Castle votes for cap and trade.
Why is Mike Castle voting for Capitol?
Why did he?
I'll tell you why.
It's because a lot of his money, a lot of his contributors are Wall Street people who are gonna get rich if cap and trade ever passes.
Look, it's called cap and trade.
Trade.
Somewhere on Wall Street companies, Goldman Sachs, whoever, I don't know, will be in charge of trading carbon credits.
And as you know, the traders make out, regardless how the trade goes, as the intermediary, they're the broker.
And so here you have Mike Castle, the hell with ideology, the hell with principle, the hell with what the future of the country is.
No, it it's it it follow the money trail.
He votes for Captain, he may not even know what it is.
He may not even care what the impact of cap and trade is on his constituents.
All he's concerned about is the money he gets in donations from people who are going to get rich off of it.
John Kerry, no, forget, well, Carrie, you could married it, but but Chris Dodd.
Chris Dodd, all these sweetheart deals from Angelo Mozilla, whatever his name was at countrywide on these mortgages.
That's something you and I can't get.
That's something Christine O'Donnell can't get.
That's the kind of stuff that's aggravating people.
This is what the ruling class doesn't get.
The fact that some guy named Nathan Deal had a failed business venture and might have to sell his house and liquidate other assets to cover the debt, that's something people can relate.
He's not stealing from anybody.
He's not, he's not being shown any favoritism.
He took a risk, he's paying the price, he's running for Congress.
He can relate to a lot of people.
Ditto Christine O'Donnell, did O'Rand Paul, did oh Sharon Engel.
You know, these are people who have lived lives.
These are people who have not Carl Palladino in New York.
These are people who have lived lives.
This is the ascension here.
This is what's happening.
People from the non ruling class, the so-called non-elites, are getting into the political system.
And of course, they're real people.
They've lived lives.
Nobody's clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
Everybody's got something in their background.
Everybody's you do an anal exam on anybody, you're gonna find something.
A media anal exam.
But these people did not benefit from having ties to fellow elitists in the money world in the banking community or whatever.
So when we hear the ruling class Republican, Mike Castle has got to be elected, we have 51 votes.
They're not even talking about 51 votes to save the country.
They're not talking 51 votes to oppose Obama.
They're not talking 51 votes to defeat Obama's agenda.
They're talking 51 votes to keep the money line open.
Well, I think people are becoming more and more sophisticated and more aware of this.
You know what just look at Chicago politics.
Obama and all these people, it's the financial dealings that hurt people or anger people and not going to harm them, are those that result from having access to people who can give you a deal that average ordinary, so-called normal people can't get.
Normal people go into debt, normal people have to pay it off.
Normal people either get foreclosed on or what have you.
They live lives.
They have life experiences.
They thus know how to relate to the vast majority of people in the country.
The vast majority of people in the country do not know the CEO of countrywide.
They don't get sweetheart deals on their mortgages, and they're not members of the U.S. Senate at the same time.
They know they can't have that kind of access, and they know that people in the Senate and the House who have access to that kind of money, people are voting in the interests of their own benefit to keep that relationship alive.
And that's why we're getting stories here in the LA Times.
Politicians' money woes strike accord with voters.
Candidates who face bankruptcy or foreclosure are finding many people sympathize with their problems, and their opponents refrain from attacking on the financial front.
Except Obama and the Democrats are doing just that.
They're going to try to go out and do everything they can to smear people on the basis of some sort of skeleton in the closet, be it financial, ethical, moral, or uh, or or what have you.
So there's folks, there's something going on out there.
Real people, real lives ascending.
This is the Tea Party.
The sophistication among these people for understanding exactly just what all insider deals are in politics, and they don't want any part of it.
If people have elected representatives and senators to go to Congress as Republicans and Democrats, and they find out that the interests of the country, the issues, defeating Obama's agenda doesn't matter.
Certainly not primary.
There are other reasons.
And Castle's vote for cap and trade is the greatest, clearest example that I could give you.
These so-called moderates, like Castle, they condemn us, and they're actually out there cutting deals all the time.
Despite their populist rhetoric at times, they're whores.
They're whoring themselves out to the highest bidder.
Castle was great to the banks and other financial institutions, all headquartered in Delaware.
Take a look.
A lot of the LLCs, a lot of companies charter in Delaware.
It's very favorable there.
And uh somebody in the American Spectator wrote his support for cap and trade is support for companies in his state who hope to make a fortune trading carbon credits.
He's not even voting for it because he thinks it would save the planet.
He didn't even vote for cap and trade because he thinks it's good policy.
He voted for cap and trade because that's what the people donating to him want.
And that's how he's gonna get taken care of on the other end of the deal.
Anyway, I gotta take a break here, folks.
El Rushball, America's real anchor man on a roll here on the EIB network.
Don't go away.
Spanky and our gang like to get to know you.
Summertime tune uh 69, something remembering.
Might be 68.
At any rate, did you know that last week Mahmoud Ahmadini Zad met with Calypso Louis Farrakhan and the new Black Panther parties?
He did.
The New York Post stands this story.
Uh is called Ahmedini Zod Monsters Bowl.
That's that's the headline.
So Minister Farrakhan meets with Ahmedini Zod and the new actually Ahmedizad meets with Calypso Louis Farrakhan and the new Black Panthers.
Now I know you're saying, well, why why would that bunch get to folks don't no, you gotta be very careful.
Obama respects the new Black Panthers.
Why shouldn't Ahmadini's odd?
Obama respects Calypso Louis.
Why shouldn't Ahmedini's odd?
The only guy missing from this Confab was Reverend Wright.
Who Obama also respects.
That would have been the uh the trifective.
Reverend Wright there.
She got Mo Doknadini Zod, the new Black Panthers, and Minister Farrakhan.
Imagine you get Jeremiah Wright in there, America's chickens.
Here's Stephanie, 25 years old, Crown Point, Indiana.
Welcome, you're first up today on the phones.
Nice to have you with us, Stephanie.
Hi, thank you.
I'm excited.
Um my comment was I'm glad you're doing Family Guy.
I think that show is absolutely hilarious.
I'm I'm a Republican.
I'm actually a very conservative Republican.
Yeah.
But it's funny.
It's all it's comedy.
I think it's hilarious.
I think it's awesome that you're doing the show.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You know a lot of I've I've I uh I remember when I once did a the way back in the early 90s.
In fact, this might have been 1988 or 89.
I did a I did a rush to Excel's tour in Las Vegas at one of the casinos at one of the hotels.
And I got grief, Stephanie.
You wouldn't believe the grief I got from some in my audience.
Oh, I would.
I'd believe it.
I mean, just some people just have no sense of humor.
I mean, comedy.
Yeah, I know, but some people do have legitimate concerns about the moral depravity that's being forced in on the culture by some.
Well, I understand.
I mean, they do do some outrageous shows.
Like the episode where Chris had uh mentally handicapped girlfriend.
I mean, I could understand the concern on some of the shows that they do, but look, it's Fox.
It's a cartoon, it's a Simpsons, it's King of the Hill.
I mean, it's um, but it's you know, Seth McFarland's a professional.
I I I'll never forget when he when he he uh fur when I he first asked me to voice over uh an episode when they were doing Family Guy to Star Wars.
Yeah.
And and Seth, we're he's on the phone, and I'm I'm doing the voiceover over a uh uh secure high-quality phone line.
He's on California.
I'm here, and he's as nice as he can be.
He's he's he's I I can tell that he's um he's very deferential and he's very polite, and he's very he looks stunned that I would have agreed to do it.
And after that one away, so you know, we're gonna do an episode based on when you do it.
I said, sure, depending on a script.
And they come up with a script.
I mean, the dog, the family dog goes conservative on family guy.
I mean, who else could make that happen but me?
Yeah, and you know, and if anybody has ever watched the show, they know that the dog Brian is very liberal in his politics.
So that's like I that I don't know.
I think it's hilarious, especially the fact that he comes to the conservative side because he is very liberal.
Let me tell you something, he gets so conservative he calls me a wuss.
He said he's he calls me a wuss for not following through on my conservative.
I I don't want to give the whole thing away, but it's um it was a fun episode.
And I I Well, I'll be watching it.
All right, Stephanie, thanks for the call.
I I appreciate it.
See, there we go.
There we have there's uh there's all kinds of reasons.
Strategic marketing here.
Plus, and I've gotten a very, very blessed, fortunate place in life.
I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.
I mean professionally.
I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.
Uh And this is something I chose to do, and it was it was uh Yeah, certainly, yes, I chose to spend five hours with one club on a driving range yesterday.
Yes.
Folks, the choice uh in the election of November and the election in 2012, the choice in the upcoming elections boils down to this.
It's either Obama and the Democrats or America.
You can't have both.
The only way, and this is what the Tea Party knows.
It's the only way to look at it.
It's either Obama the Democrats or America.
You cannot have both of them.
