Time Text
Yeah, sound bites three and four, and then uh we'll jump.
Well, no, I'm gonna do 18 first, and then we'll do three and four, and then we'll get in a nineteen.
And greetings and welcome back.
Great to have you here, folks.
My name's Rush Limbaugh, which you know.
You know that, you know what we do here, you know how we do it, you know it's the best, so let's just do it.
Uh telephone number 800-282-2882 if you want to be on.
The big program telephone number 800-282-2882.
Email is L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
John Boehner has just announced that he had the votes to pass the full extension of the Bush tax cuts.
But instead, the Democrats have just voted to adjourn Congress rather than have the vote.
Baehner just said he had the votes to pass the full.
There are a bunch of Democrats now.
The number's up over 40.
The numbers now 47 Democrats who want to extend all of the Bush tax cuts, including a tax cuts uh for those who make over 250,000 a year, the so-called rich.
But the Democrats have just voted to adjourn Congress rather than have a vote and get out of town.
Now, Snerdley X'd me a moment ago.
Um he had crossover votes.
Yeah, he had Democrat votes.
That's what I mean.
He had crossover votes.
He had Democrats willing to vote with him.
It was bipartisan.
It was everything everybody claims to have wanted.
Everything everybody thought Obama was going to bring.
And Democrats say no moss, no moss.
We're out of here, gotta go home, campaign, prepare for defeat.
Snerdley asked me, Rush.
We are 30 some odd days away from this election.
The polling data does not look good for the Democrats.
Why is he out in Albuquerque talking about all this?
And I think one of the reasons is so that we would talk about it instead of the terror threat instead of the um vote instead of the economist instead of Obama's economic policies.
I I think diversion.
And see, we can do it all here.
We never get diverted.
We never get sidetracked.
I get three hours here.
If Obama wants his religion discussed, we'll be happy to oblige.
When we finish doing that, we'll go back to shellacking his economic policies.
We don't get diverted here.
By the way, I have to tell you something, folks.
As you know, I really am alarmed and resent the kind of crisis.
Emergency, we're all gonna die tomorrow mentality that has been established.
By the Democrats and the media in this country.
Do you remember last week?
I told you how frustrated I was.
I was hearing from all these people said rush to the hurricane.
There's a hurricane, it's gonna, it's a dead hit.
Miami Palm Beach.
It's the GFS model.
And I said, I'm looking at all the models, and I don't see one model showing anything hitting South Florida.
Well, it's there, it's there.
So nothing happened, and then over the weekend, start hearing rumblings about a massive, massive rain event for South Florida that could destroy the South Florida state.
Six, eight, twelve inches of rain, mass flooding, vermin patrolling the streets, rising up from inside the weeds, worms in your house, snakes in your basement, alligators coming out of the lagoons and into your backyard.
It's going to be they're so eager.
You know, at the Hurricane Center media, they're so they're so ticked off their head and a hurricane.
You know, all those forecast Bill Gray and all these guys, it was gonna be a horrible hurricane season this year.
Remember that?
I mean, even poor old Joe Bastardi.
At Acuan, who I love said it's South Florida.
I mean, uh I you might even want to move.
Uh it's uh all these conditions.
I mean, just it's bad out there.
Now, Bastardi is not one of these guys that's hoping for disaster.
He's but but I mean, we we live in this culture where everything's a crisis, everything.
A hangnail could mean that a plague has returned.
And And so we in South Florida have been living under threat.
Warnings of a devastating rain event.
The local media from Miami all the way up here has broomed everything to talk about the dangers, warnings, you know, go in, get the batteries, go get the bread, get the milks, be prepared to evacuate.
You think a hurricane's coming, and it was just a bunch of clouds with rain in them.
So the warnings went up, and everybody was hunkering down.
And it did rain somewhat hard yesterday.
So they have to know that was kind of cool.
You know, I like I like stormy weather.
It's kind of cozy.
The rain beating against the windows.
I kind of liked it.
It was not, it was nothing.
It's the average ordinary thunder boomer.
There was some lightning out there, and all this had been predicated, predicted to be disastrous.
And we're all looking at the hurricane forecast every three hours, the updates, the cone.
Five-day cone, the three-day cone.
Where's the center of circulation?
You look on the satellite and you can't find a center of circulation.
What is a tropical storm?
Number sixteen, they name it Nicole.
Where the hell's the center of circulation?
Can't find it.
All you can find is a bunch of squalls.
Oh, you can find a bunch of rain.
There's no center of circulation, there's no tropical storm, there's no winds or nothing.
And finally at 11 o'clock, they said, No, miss, never mind.
Uh, all the warnings have been dropped in South Florida.
We basically had a bunch of sprinkles.
And now they're warning the Bahamas.
You know, it's gonna get to the point when something big does come along, people aren't going to evacuate because they've been told all these false alarms, and it uh it never happens.
The media is and this this is this constant crying wolf is what helped cause the problems with Katrina.
You know, we've been hearing about all these disasters, and Katrina comes along, and even school bus Nagan says, eh, head to the superdome, everything will be fine.
I'm not gonna get the buses out there, what the hell?
And in fact, it wasn't the hurricane that did everyone in down there, it was the levees that failed after the hurricane had pulled out.
Uh we all know the story of that, but I just I just I resent this.
I always have reason that Christ, I don't care where it's global warming or the polar bears or what have you.
Everybody's it's just it's absurd.
We're all gonna die tomorrow if if nature takes place.
So the the tie-in here.
So Snerdley says, why is Obama talking about this religious stuff he's a Christian and getting it wrong?
Well, looks bad for Obama, the election coming up.
Looks bad for the Democrats.
Yesterday, public policy polling, Democrat firm North Carolina, they put out this little thing called summing it up.
Last week somebody asked, as Tom Jensen writing it, last week somebody asked me what poll data I would use to sum up what's happening in this election, the simplest terms possible.
Here it is.
On our last national poll, 49% of respondents said the economy had gotten worse since Obama became president.
It's a Democrat poll now.
Forty-nine percent of respondents said the economy had gotten worse since Obama was immaculated.
The folks who thought the economy had gotten worse, who had already decided how to vote in November are going Republican by a margin of 92 to 8.
A margin of 92 to 8.
If voters think the economy's gotten worse under a Democrat regime, they're gonna vote Republican.
And in the Democrats' enthusiasm uh issues, you add in those uh enthusiasm issues at a lack of it, and you have the formula for the big GOP victory that's likely on the way.
And then I said, wait a minute, wait a second, because in the last couple of days there have been some polls that say Democrats are showing some strength here.
Now wait, stick with me on this.
If you look at those samples, you find, and these are respectable polling units, all of a sudden Democrats are showing more enthusiasm out of the blue, coinciding with Obama's public appearances.
All of a sudden now the the polls are telling us Obama and he's getting out there, and all of a sudden now the Democrats, the enthusiasm gap is narrowing.
Who's telling us this?
When you look at the samples of those polls that show the Democrats Rebounding.
One of them, the sample was 55% Democrat, 35% Republican, and 15% uncommitted.
Well, I'm sorry, that's a flawed sample.
But, my friends, I do have a note of caution.
When I say who's telling us all that, 92 to 8, Republican margin.
What is it that makes us think this is going to be a massive Republican victory?
Is it not?
State controlled media polling.
Could they we all know they make things up whenever they wish.
The assumption has been it's so bad they can't fudge this.
I mean, this is so bad for the Democrats.
They can't fudge this.
But maybe it's not as bad for the Democrats as they've led everybody to believe maybe their Democrats, their own polling shows the Democrats are going to do better than anybody thinks.
And after that happens, the news after the election will be, what a comeback!
Obama on the campaign trail rebounding people.
The Democrats are back.
Everybody thought the Republicans are going to sweep, and it's nowhere.
I'm just the reason I mention this is even though that sounds like a long shot.
Remember who we're talking about.
We're talking about state controlled media and their polls, for the most part.
Now, Rasmussen and others confirm that it looks bad for the Democrats.
Don't let this make you so confident that it curtails your enthusiasm.
Don't think you don't have to show up because so many other people are.
And in Colorado, in Nevada.
I in New York, governorship don't.
This is this is no time to think it's over.
Because folks, no matter what happens with this election, even if this is this huge clean sweep, this is just the first of many of these that are going to be required to slow this ship and eventually turn it around.
Obama's out doing the backyard campaign public appearances because the polls say he's still personally likable.
So they're playing on that.
So they're putting him in settings where his personal likability is supposed to manifest itself into something positive.
Richard Trump, the communist who runs what is he, AFLC I.O. now?
Used to be the miners.
You know, I I saw a story, Richard Trump was reporting on what Trump could say, and I read it, and I said, I re I do not understand.
I can't.
My my friend planet.
You know, Mars Venus.
The guy dead serious.
He said the reason Americans are angry is because they've been lied to by Fox News and Sarah Palin.
That to me that's insane.
But I'm sure Trump could believe it.
And if he doesn't believe it, he's trying to make everybody else believe it.
You know, you talk about a tipping point.
Well, we are the tipping point.
There is no tipping point if we don't tip.
On election day.
Now most of these polls have been oversampling Democrats between 12 and 15%, and they still show the Democrats getting shellacted.
It could well be that what's really happening is here, a landslide of biblical proportions.
It could well be that the Republicans are going to get 70 seats in the House.
It could well be.
It's, you know, they were shocked and stunned in 94.
And they're saying that can't happen again because they're aware of it.
Now, 94 was a big surprise.
I think this can be as big a shot.
Look it.
They're having to send Democrats in to campaign for Barney Frank.
They're having to spend money on sure bets like Barney Frank.
The Democrat governor running for Robert Bird's seat in Virginia is losing.
The Robert Birdseat, Russ fine gold behind by eight points in Wisconsin.
And by the way, fine gold relented and did show up.
He did show up at the Obama rally for fine gold.
Remember, we had yesterday fine gold wasn't going to show up.
And it'll be so it doesn't, that's no big deal.
It doesn't, it doesn't mean that he's in trouble.
That doesn't mean it's a rift.
It's perfectly understandable that Obama would go in an event for fine gold and he wouldn't show up at his own event.
That's what they told us.
I'm convinced that Feingold showed up because we made such a big deal of it on this program and shamed him.
You got a Connecticut.
Linda McMahon, world wrestling, what a WWE.
Now she's way, way down to that obvious weirdo Bloomington.
I mean, this guy doesn't look like he eats.
He looks cadaver, look like he was buried three years ago.
Uh talks weird.
Only because as a Democrat state is anywhere he was supposed to be slammed on.
He's that's now a toss-up state.
West Virginia, West Virginia is close, that's right.
That's what I meant, West Virginia bird seat.
The Democrat governor there is trailing the Republican.
Angle's gonna beat Dingy Harry.
That's not as close as they're saying because they're Jimmying the polls out there.
Paladino, don't be shocked.
Don't be shocked at the governor's race in New York.
Don't be shocked at this.
I mean, it would be shocking, but it's this.
At any rate, I think one of the reasons Obama's out there doing all this Christian talk is to try to distract people from um uh how bad it's boxer.
I know.
Boxer's in trouble.
Patty Murray, the mom and tennis.
Patty Murray's in trouble in the state of Washington.
Boxer in trouble.
I mean, San Francisco Chronicle would endorse anybody.
Can't go for Carly Fiorina, but certainly can't go for uh for Barbara Box.
It's gonna be fascinating to see here.
And it hasn't helped here.
You remember uh King uh Shamir Shabazz?
Uh who was uh this is the guy the Black Panthers uh voter intimidation guy Philadelphia, the Justice Department decided not to prosecute.
Have you ever you heard why?
You know the real reasoning is the uh voting rights laws were set up to make sure blacks aren't discriminated against.
It's nothing about whites.
So we're here uh we're whites can be discriminated against, that's fine, there's no law about that.
What the voting rights act is to make sure blacks aren't discriminated against.
The law says nothing about making sure whites aren't.
So when there's a white victim of voter discrimination, that's no big deal.
We're not concerned with that here at the justice, but we're only concerned with um uh intimidation of black voters, which didn't happen.
They actually are saying this.
That the civil rights division of justice are actually saying it.
So anyway, King Shamir Shabazz is back.
Well, we've got the video of what King Shamir Shabazz said uh back in August.
We'll have that.
Your phone calls are coming up.
Lots still to do.
We barely scratched the surface here.
No, I did not forget.
Here's PJ O'Rourke last night, PMS NBC Hardballed.
Chris Matthews.
PJ, why aren't monkeys still evolving in front of our face?
I mean, Christine O'Donnell says if you're looking at a monkey and it's not turning into your little brother, then there's no evolution.
I mean, that's her point.
What do you say to this, PJ?
I got some problems with evolution myself.
Uh, I mean, because I look around at, say, Democrats, and I say that's evolved.
You know, I would say it's kind of going in the other direction.
So here's Matthews.
He thinks PJ O'Rourke is gonna join him in pummeling Christine O'Donnell, sets him up with a softball, a hanging softball, and PJ says, yeah, I can't agree with her.
You look at the Democrats and say, evolution?
That's kind of going in the other direction.
We know what Christine O'Donnell says.
Hey, look, if there's evolution, how come there's still monkeys?
Uh how come the monkey doesn't uh evolve in front of our face?
Why is there still a monkey?
If we came from the apes, why are there still apes?
How come the gorillas that are still there got left out of the deal?
How did how did some of us become advanced humans And King Kong still out there as King Kong.
I know what she's saying.
It's a matter of choice.
Obviously, some gorillas did not want to become humans because they didn't want to get blamed for destroying their own habitat.
And there's nothing wrong with staying a gorilla.
I mean, if you want to figure out that's absolutely fine.
You want to be King Kong?
I mean, you might, who knows?
Naomi Watts, you might get to meet her someday.
Probably got a better chance of meeting Naomi Watts as a gorilla than you do as a gas station attendant.
I mean, if I was a gorilla, that's the way I'd be looking at it.
Now, evolution.
Um, I I know that evolution is Darwin.
And I think there there are two guys.
There are two guys who've probably done more to screw up the human race.
On balance.
I mean, I mean, it it's a probably a tough thing to signal out two guys out of all of the people have been destructive to the human race.
We gotta put Hitler up there and so forth.
Well, Hitler's efforts were finite.
There are two guys whose work goes on and on and on, that continue to just have everything all screwed up.
One was Darwin, the other's Freud.
Here stopped to think, what would have happened if Freud had never been born?
Or if Freud had become a barber.
If Darwin had become a street sweeper, rather than scientists.
How things would be different.
We might not even have liberals were it not for those two guys.
Okay, we're back.
Uh we're gonna go to the phones.
Mike, I just decided something here on the fly before we go to the phones.
Audio soundbites 3536.
I want to go back to Obama for a second because I referenced these two things that he said.
We have the actual sound bites now.
Here first, March 18th in Philadelphia.
Uh Barack Obama, the famous speech on race.
Here's a portion of what he said about Reverend Wright and his white grandmother.
I can no more disown him than I can disown my white grandmother.
A woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed her by on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
Yeah, and he went on.
She is a uh typical white person who if she m sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences that that don't go away, and uh that sometimes uh come out in in the wrong way.
So the first was March 18th, a race speech of Philadelphia, the second by three days later on the radio in Philadelphia clarifying what he meant about his white mother or grandmother.
Typical uh white person sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know.
Uh there's a reaction, she runs her other way.
Now they've it's been a nation bred that into it.
Now, I I do recall it was the uh Reverend Zach was it not who also said this.
Didn't Reverend Jackson say if he saw some civil rights leader did.
Anyways, the phones, Amy in Pittsburgh, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Great to have you with us.
Hi, Russ, how are you?
Very good.
Thanks.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm a little nervous.
But um, you know, you were talking earlier about Obama going and doing these out these backyard rallies or whatever you want to call it, campaigning, I guess.
Um, you know, the other day he told his constituents or the Democratic Party they needed to back up.
Yeah, that's right.
And I thought it was interesting because two weeks ago, uh Sarah Palin, when she was talking about Carl Rose and and the establishment temperatant ever, Christine O'Donnell, he said they needed to back up.
And um interesting choice of words that he would choose the same words as her, but it might just be coincidental.
I don't know.
Um you often say she's living inside his head.
The other the other point I wanted to make about that though, you know, she's telling the establishment that they need to get on board, they need to back up, follow the will of the people.
And he's out there looking down his nose at the people saying, Yeah, you don't like what I'm doing, but back up, obey, go with it.
And I just thought it was such an interesting choice of words, but interesting moreover, on how they're using it and who they're talking to.
Well, yeah, it's because Obama and Bytemy said the same thing.
Joe Bytemy went and said, actually, what Bytemy said, it was interesting.
You haven't heard this.
But, because, you know, Bytemy's a walking gaffe.
He actually said, buck off, and they had to change it to buck up.
And then Obama came out, and they totally unrelated.
Obama said, buck up.
And Palin had done it, too.
Now, Palin was talking to the elites when she said it.
Obama was talking to the non-elites.
when uh when he said it uh but there's no question that that Palin is in their heads it was it was the uh Reverend Dax uh said if he heard footsteps from behind him while he was in a dark alley and he turned around to see a white guy he'd be relieved that's right it was the Reverend Jacks who did make that uh statement.
Here's Sarah in Northern Virginia great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, I was calling.
I got a call from my sister, who is a teacher in Michigan, last night, and she had an email from her local teacher union chapter calling for activists to go on an NEA-subsidized bus trip for the rally this weekend in Washington, D.C., called One Nation Working Together or something.
And they said on September 29th, they learned that they were getting an NEA grant to help offset the the cost of the bus.
So they're giving uh two people say a second wait wait a second here.
I want to make sure I'm following you Obama supporters in the teachers unions are having a rally September twenty ninth in Washington.
No this weekend this um one nation working together march on Washington the October second.
Okay there's this week October second.
Right.
Okay this weekend that's right because today's a twenty sponsor two members paying up to one half of the transportation costs and twenty dollars for meals and they said they're being subsidized offset the cost by the NEA.
Right.
Okay that's so that's what I wanted to make clear so she and her other teacher friend came down to Washington for the Glen Beck Restoring Honor rally.
They paid you know their airfare and their time away from school prep and so she's decided herself that her union dues are going to subsidize sending activists down for this rally.
Not only that it sounds like federal dollars are being used to subsidize this too.
See this is this is my point.
I I wanted to make sure I understood this.
So the teachers want to have this big rally w what's it for what are they Obama support Obama or something Democrats?
Uh it's one nation working together it's a recommitment to change rally.
Yeah okay that's Obama so yeah.
Yeah um you know human and civil rights leaders, labor leaders are going to help put Mer America back to work, pull America back together help to reorder our national priorities in people can't okay so it's the s just the stop whining rally I mean Obama's other people stop whining rally but the point is they're having to gin it up because people are not motivated on their own to go.
So they're not paid to go.
Right, they're being paid to go the rent them up they're being subsidized, paid to go, union dues, what have you uh are being paid to go and they're being asked to go and there's nothing spontaneous or genuine about it.
That's your point, right?
Yeah and it's the Michigan education whatever statewide president's caucus is organizing the trip in hopes that we can ensure Michigan and the Michigan Education Association have a presence at the march and so I guess that's why the NEA is um offering grants for this.
They're in trouble.
But my sister, you know, on a teacher's salary that was a lot for her and her friend to come down to the restoring honor um because they felt passionate about it and they wanted to make a difference yet her she you know you have to pay union dues in Michigan if you're a teacher.
Wait a minute um you just said I I I'm I have a a pet peeve about A phrase make a difference.
Did you say that your sister, the teacher, said she wanted to make a difference?
That's why she spent money.
And they know it was uh in Michigan, they start school early.
Her she and her friend came down in the middle of prepping for school for August 28th.
But but your sister, the teacher, uh, said she wanted to go to this thing because she wanted to make a difference.
Right.
Is that right?
What did what did you say to her when she told you that she wanted to go to this thing on somebody else's dime because she can't afford it herself to make a difference?
What did you say?
No, no, she no, she went to the Glenn Beck rally to make a difference.
Oh, she went to the Glenn Beck rally to make a difference.
Oh, all right.
Her union deals are being used to subsidize something that she's totally against.
Oh, okay.
I misunderstood you.
Oh, I thought your teacher, your sister was the teacher.
Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay.
I got it.
I got it.
Well, I still have a bugaboo with the make a difference business, but I'll I'll save it for another caller.
Okay.
Um, your point, your point is well taken.
All this stuff happening on our side is genuine, and it is it's bubbling up effervescently from the grassroots, and the other side they're having to they're having to gin it up themselves create because there is no.
It's like Obama is having to go out to all these places and urges is his supporters to buck up and to stop whining and all this, because they are they are depressed.
Uh, they are unenthused.
And my sister's point is well, the union dues that she pays, and this is where her money's going to.
Well, uh that's only half the story here.
The other part of her union dues go to Democrat candidates and so forth.
At any rate, I'm I appreciate the call.
Uh thank speaking of teachers.
Here's a story from um, let's see, the AP.
It's it's in the Boston newspaper, but it's a story out of Southgate, California, A.P. Christina Hogue.
Now listen to this.
The Los Angeles Times should remove teacher performance ratings from its website after the apparent suicide of a teacher despondent over his score.
The union representing Los Angeles school teachers said United Teachers Los Angeles also has asked Scrual administrators to join with them in the request to the newspaper, which published the ratings last month, according to Union President A.J. Duffy.
The body of a 39-year-old man, Ulrigo Berto Ruelis, a fifth grade teacher at Miramonte Elementary School was found Sunday at the foot of a remote forest bridge in what appears to be a suicide.
The motive for taking his own life is far from clear, but union officials said that he had been upset since the Los Angeles time, published his district ranking as less effective teacher based on his students' standardized English and math test scores.
Ruelis scored average in getting his students up to acceptable levels in English, but less effective in math and less effective overall.
The scroll itself ranked as least effective in raising test scores, and only five of Miramante's 35 teachers were ranked as high as average.
So the union has asked the Los Angeles Times to stop publishing teacher rankings because publishing teacher rankings is causing teachers to commit suicide.
Now stop and think about this for a second.
Stop and think.
Let's I have to take a break here, but I want you to stop and think about this.
Because right here it says the motive for Ruelis taking his own life is far from clear.
For those of you in Rio Linda, it means nobody has any idea why he did it.
But that didn't stop the union from saying that he might have done it because he had been upset ever since the LA Times published his rankings as a less than effective teacher.
But nobody knows.
Now my point is this.
Thank you.
Why can't we publish the effectiveness of teachers?
Athletes have their work scored every moment.
Their work is on television.
These people get ripped to shreds each and every day if they're baseball or basketball players every week if they're football players.
There are a number of people, CEOs, big oil executives, big pharmaceutical executives, BP executive, any number of people who not only have their work ripped to shreds, they get called up to testify.
Before August, Senate and Congressional Committees, there are numerous lines of work.
People in the media, whether or not people watch their shows, it's published all the time, the ratings.
All kinds of people's work.
Lawyers win a case, lose a case, big time news about it.
There are all kinds of people whose work is publicly commented on, publicly remarked upon, publicly known.
And now all of a sudden, teachers union guy, without any knowledge, without any direct knowledge, says we gotta stop publishing how effective or uneffective, ineffective a teacher's are because it's causing the teachers to kill themselves.
Now, why is it that of all these jobs in the world we're not allowed to know how teachers are doing?
Especially in this case when the motive is far, quote unquote, far from clear.
See, the answer to the question is very obvious to me.
If you look at the public education system in this country, you know full well it's failing on balance.
This isn't good teachers, there's no question, but on balance, it's in trouble.
And we the more money we spend, the worse it gets.
And we can't now have teacher ratings.
We can't test the teachers, we can't we can't rate them, we can't test them to see how well they're doing.
We can't the people in charge of teaching kids were not supposed to learn how good they are at it.
There's no mechanism where we can find out how good they are.
And if we do find out how they're good at it, and then some of them are not good at it, all of a sudden they kill themselves, and so we've got to shelter everybody from that knowledge.
He's a bunch of cowards.
You know, you it works, it works both ways.
If you start publishing the results of how good people do their jobs, there is some motivation to do it well.
Is there not?
As I said, that take a brief time out.
We'll do it.
We'll be right back after this.
Don't go away.
Now, these uh teacher evaluations in the Los Angeles Times were published way back during the first week of August.
This is the last week of September.
It sure took that teacher a long time to get around to killing himself.
Well, now that look at um, folks, you know, I live in Literalville.
This is one of the this is one of the biggest problems people have with me, and everybody else lives in political correct world.
I live in Literalville.
Okay, so we have a story in the LA Times.
Teacher commits suicide, period.
Union guy said, reason is far from clear, meaning we don't have the slightest idea why, but we want the LA Times to stop publishing teacher rankings because undoubtedly it led to his suicide.
Well, if it did, it took a long time for the guy to get around to it, because the LA Times published the rankings the first week in August, and a guy wipes himself out the last week of September, so it took a while to build, did it not.
What's wrong with this, snurdly?
No, I don't know.
I'm I'm I'm challenging the whole no.
It's uh committed suicide, nobody knows why.
The union says it's far from clear, but so anything after but is meaningless.
After you admit nobody knows, then when you profess to know, you don't know.
Okay, so I'm just saying I live in Literalville.
Guy takes his life in August or in late, late September, last week of September, but the rankings are published the first week in August.
It Took him a long time to get around to it.
That's all I'm saying.
Now, also, if bad published rankings spark suicides, then somebody had better build some nets outside the windows at the CNN building and the MSNBC building.
Because there's going to be a rash of suicide.
Okay, so we the ratings every day are published for CNN and MSNBC and Fox are published every day.
Nielsen publishes them.
I see them every day.
So the and they're bad.
I mean, they're horrible out there.
CNN and MSNBC.
It's embarrassing.
It's not a surprise to them.
And they're almost honored by how small the ratings are.
The way that they tell themselves we have the right people watching.
Right, like the White House.
Um, but you better start building some nets or get the to have the fireman a 24-hour uh watch if bad rankings lead to suicides out there.
Quick timeout back after this.
From CBS News in Los Angeles, Whitman's.
This would be Meg uh Meg Meg Whitman out there, uh Meg Whitman's ex-housekeeper to reportedly file explosive claim.
