Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Ah, the Democrats and the media, they still want to talk about the health care repeal vote in the House.
As nothing more than political theater.
Hell, it was bipartisan.
There were three Democrats voted.
Repeal of health care in the House got more votes than Obamacare got in the House.
Did you know that?
To kick it away, got more votes than the uh the original bill got in support.
But yesterday's vote was not political theater, folks.
It was the laying of a minefield.
You wonder why Dingy Harry doesn't want that vote over there in the Senate?
Dingy Harry is saying, I'm not going to allow the vote to happen over here.
McConnell says there will be a vote.
Dingy Harry says, it's not going to be a vote here.
He knows he might lose it.
He doesn't want to force a bunch of uh Democrats in the Senate up for re-election in 2012.
And he doesn't want to have to force those guys on the record.
He is afraid of all the Democrats in the Senate who would vote to repeal this thing.
This is by no means anything other than an expression of and a sticking to of principle.
No political theater intended here.
Isn't it interesting how the momentum can shift in just one political day?
Prior to the vote yesterday, people on our side, ah, it's over.
Yeah, we lost the momentum.
Yeah, it's stuff in Tucson.
Now everybody's back up and uh revved up, ready to go.
Great to have you here, folks.
L. Rushball and the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Both of the Clintons went to the uh state dinner at the White House last night for you know who, probably the first time the Clintons have had dinner together.
Gosh, probably since their daughter's wedding.
And we don't even know if they had dinner together during their daughter's wedding.
They might have sat at separate tables.
You never know.
We do know that Hillary did not wear her Mao jacket.
And that's a staple of her wardrobe.
But it was nowhere to be seen last night.
Come to think of it, Bill didn't wear his either.
Barbara Streisand, you know they have um they have they have a greeting and reception line, kind of like the red carpet at Hollywood events.
And never forget.
Uh politics is just showbiz for the ugly.
If there was question, well.
Last night, great illustration of that.
So Barbara Streisand somehow made the guest list.
So did Jackie Chan.
Barbara Streisand made the guest list, and uh on the red carpet there, the reception line, an unidentified reporter said this audio sound by number five, Mike reporters said, Miss Dreisand, what is your connection to China?
I worked in a Chinese restaurant.
Barbara Streisand explaining why she thinks she was invited.
She uh worked in a Chinese restaurant.
She also starred in a movie, What's Up Doc, that uh she and her uh co-star Ryan O'Neill got caught up in a in a Chinese Chinatown parade.
They totally wrecked it, by the way, in the movie.
Uh she could have, she could have cited that.
Uh now, in the spirit of the new tone and uh in the spirit of uh of civility, shouldn't Harry Reid be only too happy to let the Democrats in the Senate vote on this?
Don't all the polls show that the American people want the Democrats and Republicans to work together?
I mean, we we had that poll so-called poll, USA Today, earlier this week.
Everybody wants the Republicans and Democrats to work together.
A vast majority of the American people want Obamacare repealed, and yet Dingy Harry will not allow a vote in the House.
And therefore, Dingy Harry is standing in the way of Republicans and Democrats working together.
Shouldn't shouldn't the media, ladies and gentlemen, demand the Senate show uh that this bipartisan bill the respect it deserves.
It got three Democrat votes.
I mean, it's the it's the essence of bipartisanship.
The repeal vote did.
But as I said, he doesn't, he doesn't want to bring the House bill to a vote because he doesn't want to make the senators go on the record against repeal.
That's what he can read the tea leaves.
He doesn't want people to go on the record against repeal in the Senate.
He knows that will hurt Democrats and be used against them in the 2012 campaign.
But ask yourself this.
What the Senate would do if they were facing another election next month.
You know they would vote to repeal Obamacare to save their jobs.
Or they would at least think very seriously about it.
I mean, Obama might even vote to kill a bill to save his job.
And then come back like Clinton did with the welfare reform.
You know, go ahead and let it happen and come back and promise everybody to go back later and fix it.
Because we know at the end of the day, they are going to govern against the will of the uh of the American people.
Hey, folks, great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I mentioned yesterday Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times has often written of the beauty of the ChICOM system.
A one party autocracy he has written is oftentimes preferable to a democracy or a republic if the right people are the dictators.
Because they can more efficiently get things done.
By the way, I did not see this, but I have to tell you a story.
I didn't see it, but it was relayed to me.
Last Saturday I went out and played golf at a golf course here.
I walked out of the locker room.
I walked down the steps, said hello to the caddy master, said hello to my caddy, Eli, and I went and grabbed my uh my cart and so forth.
A friend of mine said, you may not know it, but Thomas Friedman is on the putting green over there with a broken neck.
So what are you talking about?
Yeah, Thomas Friedman did a double take when he saw you.
He jerked his neck around so far, couldn't he's on the putting green with a broken neck.
I said, Are you kidding me?
I looked over there and I didn't, I didn't see Thomas L. Freeman.
I didn't the story was not relayed to me immediately.
But apparently Friedman playing the same golf course teed off four or five groups ahead of me.
So when I arrived, he's on the putting green, which is the last thing you do before you go tee off.
What is Friedman doing playing for a golf course for the rich?
I don't know.
He's a m I'm not a member of this place.
He is.
I do know that.
Uh but he yeah, it is.
There isn't a golf course in the world that isn't for the rich, right?
Isn't that the uh isn't that the rub?
Uh but that's that's yeah, a good friend of mine said if you should have seen the double take this guy when he saw you, his neck jerked around, I wouldn't be surprised if they had to take him to the hospital.
I missed it.
Wished I'd seen it.
Anyway, Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times has written this a Chinese autocracy much, much preferable to our system.
If the right people are running it, he was on a cable network this morning, and he was asked is there any president capable of pulling Congress and the American people together to fix the problems that we have in this country.
We had the president of China here.
There's only one thing worse in my view than one party autocracy, the Chinese system.
And that's one party democracy.
Okay, see a one-party autocracy.
The tape and re-cue it.
Now remember what I told you to set this up.
Thomas L. Friedman believes a one-party autocracy, a dictatorship much preferable to what we have.
If the right people are running it, members of the approved ruling class.
Okay.
Now listen carefully here.
He was asked if there is any president capable of pulling Congress and America together to fix the problems that we have.
Now, listen very carefully to the opening of this bite.
We had the president of China here.
There's only one thing worse in my view than one party autocracy, the Chinese system.
And that's one party democracy.
Okay.
See, one party autocracy, at least if it has some vision of the future.
But when you have one party democracy, that is, you have one party trying to do things and the other sticking up, spoke in its wheels constantly.
You can't get anything being done.
And that to me seems to be our real dilemma today.
Well, there he is.
He just got there saying the only thing worse than the ChICOM system is ours.
The only thing the only thing worse in my view than one party autocracy, the ChICOM system is one party democracy.
Now we got so I guess now we have one party democracy.
We got a Democrat running the show in the White House, the Democrats running the Senate.
We have for the first time in what four years the Republicans running the House, and all of a sudden, and this is the lead column.
Folks, I have friends here.
I am ashamed to admit this.
I uh I would love to publicly humiliate them by mentioning their names.
I won't do it.
I have friends here who have left the golf course at 11:30 in the morning to go hear Thomas L. Friedman speak at uh a place they have here where they import usually New York Times liberals and network television liberals to come down and share their view of the world.
This guy was leaving.
Well, acquaintances, I mean, friends, golf buddies, and I uh I gotta go.
He said, where are you going?
Oh, Thomas Friedman speaking.
What?
You're leaving here to go listen to Thomas L. Friedman?
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Why what uh why do you want to dumb yourself down?
What what it was clueless.
It's rush, he writes for the New York Times.
And that's a plus.
So anyway, you this one party autocracy, if it has some vision of the future, that's great.
But when you have one party democracy, one party trying to do things, i.e.
Obama, and the other sticking a spoke in its wheels constantly, you can't get anything big done.
Now, how in to show you that this makes no sense.
How can you have one party democracy when one party can stop the other?
Isn't that two-party democracy?
Uh I'm sorry, so the way I think.
Now, granted, I didn't break my neck on a putting green at a golf course Saturday, and the blood flow to my brain's not restricted here.
But if you have one party democracy, they can do whatever they want, right?
But he claims a one-party democracy here.
You got one party trying to do things and the other sticking a spoke in its wheels.
That's two-party democracy to me.
So none of this really makes any sense.
But, but that doesn't matter.
To the ruling class types, to the establishment types, that is the essence of unique brilliance.
This is the kind of thing that causes people to pause and be dazzled and say, gosh, I wish I had that kind of brain.
And it's just nonsense.
All of that absolute nonsense.
Translation mix-ups led to some confusion at Wednesday's White House news conference with President Obama and Chinese President Hu Xin Tao.
This story sort of confirms one of the problems I said I had yesterday trying to watch that press conference during uh breaks here.
Obama initially thought his responses were being translated simultaneously for the Chikom leader who, but they weren't.
And so the Chinese language translator had to embark on a lengthy translation following Obama's response to the first question he was asked on human rights.
After he realized what had happened, Obama said, I apologize.
I thought we had simultaneous translation here, so I would have broken up the answer into smaller bytes.
Well, thank you.
That's the same thing I observed.
Normally, when you watch these things, the uh translation is either simultaneous, or else the foreign language spokesman will speak for a while, pause the translator will translate it, then resume, then the translator will translate, then resume.
And what I noticed was it was the first time ever, they just kept going.
Both sides of this.
So I'm saying, well, I I I I have no idea what Hu Xin Tao's saying.
I wanted to report to you what he was saying.
But there was any translation, so all I could do was tell you what he said.
Which I did a remarkable job of doing for someone who doesn't know the language.
And Back in the old days, you know, Sid Caesar, for those of you old enough to remember, was called a comic genius for impersonating foreign languages that he couldn't speak.
But today.
Today the left is exercised.
I mean, I have that was uh racism, it was bigotry, it was uh it was insulting.
And it wasn't, it was a service.
I insulted the Chicoms, I insulted the Chicons, I insulted 3,000 years of Chinese history.
I did, I insulted you.
What did you hear it?
We find it here.
There's a state senator in California by the name of Leland Yi.
He's from San Francisco, and he claims that I owe the Chinese community an apology for mocking the speech.
State Senator Leland Leland Yi San Francisco called on conservative radio personality.
That's a new one, Rush Limbaugh to apologize to the ChICOM community today for mocking Chinese President Hujintao's speech.
Limbaugh was complaining today on his show about a Fox News broadcast that omitted translation of Hu's words.
And he spent 18 seconds speaking gibberish Chinese.
Normally they translate every couple of words, but Hu Xin Tao were just going ching chang ding ching chang, he said before continuing to mimic the language.
That's how they quote me.
Yi chairs the state Senate Select Committee on Asian Pacific Islander affairs and said Limbaugh owes the Chinese community an apology for his pointless and ugly offense.
His classless act is an insult to over 3,000 years of cultural history, and is a slap in the face to the millions of Chinese Americans who've struggled in this country, and to a people who constitute one quarter of the world's population, Yi said in a statement.
His comments are comments?
Was I saying things I didn't know I was saying?
I Did somebody translate me and it ends up being offensive?
My comments.
His comments are sadly indicative of the bigotry that has often plagued Limbo's commentary and aligned his pockets.
Oakland Mayor Jean Kwan and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee attended a state dinner tonight at the White House, at which who President Obama and the first lady were president, president again, the first lady did not wear her Mao jacket, which she normally does.
So I don't know, folks, I got those those were those were comments, and they were mocking and insulting, and um 3,000 years of Chinese history blown up yesterday in 18 seconds right here on the EIB network.
I know what it's not just the Chinese.
We've been translating uh uh the little potbellied guy in North Korea.
What's his name?
Kim Jong-yu, translating him.
We've been translating Gorbachev, we've been translating all the Soviet leaders who were alive.
Uh well, maybe they didn't get the nuance.
It's not hard to translate these people.
It's we will bury you.
We will bury you.
I mean, I could have done that.
But I wanted to go the extra mile as a service to the audience.
They weren't translating it.
I was just trying to report to you what was being said.
YHA.
By the way, I wonder what uh Leland Yi and some of the others in the ranking Chinese community in San Francisco thought when Dingy Harry called Hu Jintao a dictator.
Is anybody know?
Does anybody know if anybody on the Democrat Party of the Chinese community was upset at uh at that insult?
Dingy Harry called Hujintao a dictator.
You know what that translates to?
Dictator.
Now, another thing about Dingy Harry, Dingy didn't Dingy Harry is scared to death to allow this vote on the repeal of Obamacare In the Senate.
Because if they do vote against it, there'll be a record to defeat their their the rear ends in the next election.
So he can't win.
This ought to show you the real strength of a whole repeal movement.
The vast majority of people don't want it.
Dingy Harry doesn't want to vote in the Senate.
He's worried about two things losing some Democrats who would vote for the repeal, and the Democrats who are opposed to repeal going on the record.
Because that would then give uh make a target, make themselves targets in their re-election bids in 2012, voted against repeal of Obamacare.
So he's opposed to bipartisanship.
He doesn't want the Republicans and Democrats working together.
He is opposed to civility.
He's out there calling Hu Jintao a dictator.
Do not think for a moment that there is anywhere near a majority sentiment in love with Obamacare.
There isn't.
The vast majority of people, even in the House and the Senate, know in their hearts it's rotten and ought to be done away with.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.
And remember, if you are not on the cutting edge, you are taking up too much space.
Obamacare.
I I can't I can't tell you enough.
Obamacare just got a shellacking, folks.
The vote in the House was 245 to 189.
That's a larger margin than the vote for Obamacare got.
Dingy Harry will not allow a vote in the Senate, though Mitch McConnell says there will be one, because he he looks at it as a no-win.
If he loses some Democrats voting for repeal, that's not good.
And other Democrats are going on record opposing appeal, not good for their own re-election efforts.
So uh is what by the way, I have a I have a question about about respect and protocol and and so forth.
Um last night's state dinner was black tie.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means tuxedo.
I saw a picture of the Chicom leader Hu Jintao.
He was not wearing a tuxedo.
He was wearing a dark suit, a white shirt, and a blue tie.
Now, he's a stickler for protocol.
They've been telling us all week.
Is that offensive?
Should we be offended that the man in whose honor the dinner was last night did not dress according to the requirements?
Or maybe the Chicoms don't have tuxedos in their in their wardrobes.
Is it not part of what they wear?
I don't know.
Just asking a question.
By the way, the uh Washington Post Foreign Service.
That's for those of you that don't know the Washington Post foreign service reports on what happens in the United States.
BBC television report airing a clip from Wednesday's Obama Who news conference in the White House got a little touchy on the topic of human rights.
It turns out the bottom line here is that the Chinese public was kept in the dark on Hu Xin Tao's human rights admission.
The Chinese public were not allowed to see what Hu Xin Tao said.
And yet I, a harmless, lovable little fuzzball, El Roshbo.
Am accused of all sorts of atrocities.
3,000 years of it in 18.
Up.
Wait a minute.
Let me do my John King at CNN impersonation.
We're really trying.
We're really trying.
I apologize for the blown-up rhetoric.
I'm trying to do better here at the EIB network.
I did not mean blow up Chinese culture 3,000 years of it.
I we're really trying here.
If it's a slip of the tongue, I take it back.
That's pretty close to John King at uh at CNN.
So the bottom line, the uh freedom-loving Chinese people were not allowed to hear what Hu Jintao said.
Folks, anger at your host knows no bounds.
Last night on the syndicated TV show Inside Edition.
Here's a portion of a report by the anchor Deborah Norville.
Radio talker Rush Limbaugh has a new target, a new mom, specifically Nicole Kidman.
Rush is blasting her, saying that the way she announced her new baby sounds like a disease.
Gestation carrier.
Almost sounds like a disease.
Rush Limbaugh is lashing out at a surprising target.
Nicole Kidman, whose secret baby is the talk of Hollywood.
The conservative radio host took aim at the term gestational carrier, which the 43-year-old actress and husband Keith Urban used in revealing that a surrogate had carried their biological child.
Gestation carrier.
Almost sounds like a disease.
And some women pregnancy is a disease.
Limbaugh didn't stop there.
I don't know if it was a medical reason for this.
Maybe she doesn't want to bother with getting pregnant again.
I don't know.
Blogger Perez Hilton says, Ugh, Rush Limbaugh, leave Nicole Kidman alone.
Now, when any of you people listening to this yesterday, did any of her alone.
Raj Lee Ralon, she's a good actress.
We were blasting Nicole Kidman.
Did any of you listening to me?
Most of you probably would just stick to the issues.
We don't care about the Hollywood crowd.
Blasting Nicole Kid new target.
Nicole Kidman is not a target.
I wasn't blasting.
I've never heard the term gestational carrier.
How do you say gestational carrier?
Chinese I I don't know.
I was just kidding, Kidman.
I I'm I I mean, this is this is people why they got a whole report out of this.
Rush Limbaugh lashing out at a surprising target, Nicole Kidman.
Secret baby that talk of Hollywood took aim at the term gestational carrier.
Limbaugh didn't stop there.
For you people who did this real unidentified mail announcing it, whoever you you people at um Inside Edition, you need to get with the program.
The feminazis have said pregnancy is a disease as they have argued for abortion.
It's hopeless.
It just totally hopeless.
Let's move on to something uh.
Yeah, it was hey.
They just can't take a little jesting.
I was jesting them about their gestational carrier phrase, and they can't take it.
It's amazing how tightly wound all of these people are.
I guess Hollywood uh types, I suppose, are immune from criticism.
Or more than likely what this is all about is that inside Hollywood, is that the name of the show again?
Was it inside Hollywood?
Inside edition, simply trying to score points with Kidman and Urban here is what this was all about.
All right, um, let's see.
Sheriff Dipstick is not happy still.
Yesterday on Washington Post.com's 44 blog, the correspondent Sari Horwitz interviewed PMA County Sheriff Clarence Dipstick.
She said, are people giving you a hard time for speaking out like you've been doing?
Oh, you bet.
Our uh computer system almost came to a halt because Rush Limbaugh says, send him an email, here's the address.
Tell them how you feel.
We're also getting uh a lot of the heat seekers uh about as vile as you can imagine.
One person was uh saying he was gonna be glad when he could come and scrape the cow dung off of me before they put me in the ground.
You know, just vile things in addition to threats.
Let me ask those of you in this audience have I ever given you Sheriff Dipstick's email address?
Have I once suggested that you send Sheriff Dipstick an email?
I don't know, Sheriff Dipstick's email address.
If Sheriff Dipstick knew what he was talking about, he would know that I do not do this.
That's that's true.
That's true.
My standard for Sheriff Dipstick is too high.
He doesn't use evidence.
He just speculates.
But just to get it on the record, Sheriff, I did not say to anybody, send you an email, and it'd tell you how they feel.
Somebody else did that.
Then the sheriff continued, uh, you'll hear the uh uh the host in here, sorry Horwitz as well.
It's just wrong for people to be elected to Congress and then have as their agenda.
We don't care what we have to do to get re-elected to get back in power.
We're gonna do it.
No matter what the consequences are for America.
Just like this little game the right was playing a few weeks ago with the tax for the rich.
You know the game I'm talking about.
And it was who's gonna blink?
Are you willing, Mr. President, to to tear the economy apart?
Or are you gonna give us what we want for the rich people?
Isn't that what it was all about?
Am I wrong?
Well, I think people are sick of that.
So now Sheriff Dipstick's attacking the Bush tax cuts in this in the lame duck session of Congress.
Sheriff Dipstick, do you know who spearheaded extending the Bush tax cuts?
It was President Obama, Sheriff.
Lord, my friends, we are surrounded by genuine institutional ignorance.
Well, I uh I snurdly.
Snurdly just asked me if Sheriff Dipstick ever arrests people.
Meaning, does he ever do his job?
He's out there at the Washington Post blog now, and somehow bringing the Bush tax cuts into the motivation for violence argument.
Uh and you know, uh, who's gonna blink?
Are you willing, Mr. President?
The economy party, you're gonna give us what we want for the rich fee.
He spearheaded it.
Sheriff, it was Obama's idea to extend the Bush tax cuts or Bush tax rates.
Uh you know, the sheriff is talking about issues clearly above his pay grade.
I think we can all agree.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh.
This is Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Now everybody wants me to repeat my Chinese translation of Chairman Hu Jintao at the White House yesterday.
блин
We played the wrong soundbite.
That that was Sid Caesar, well-known comedian on the Drew Carey show.
Whose line is it anyway from 2007.
And the skit was called foreign film dub.
Sid Caesar, who was called a comedic genius.
Foreign film dub, and that was uh imitating the Japanese language, and thus blowing up however many thousands of years of Japanese culture.
Uh that uh that there are.
Let's see, we're gonna let's go to the phones.
Let's start here in San Francisco.
Robert, I'm glad you called.
Great to have you on the program.
Wow.
I can't believe this.
I am I can't wait to tell my wife, she's your biggest fan next to me, I guess.
Tell her I said thanks very much.
Yeah, um, I just wanted to tell you a little bit about Leland Yee.
Um I moved out, I moved back to San Francisco a couple years ago.
From where?
Uh from Charleston, South Carolina.
That's a big move.
That's a big move.
It's a very big move.
But I let me tell you something about about Leland.
His biggest legislation last year was he wanted to push, and he and he got it through that it's now legal to speak a foreign language in your own business.
So it's it's just a brilliant piece of the.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, wait, wait, wait a second, Robert.
I want to.
His biggest legislation last year was he pushed, he got through it's now legal to speak a foreign language in your own business.
Right.
Whatever language.
So now business owners didn't know before that they could speak Their own language in their own business.
So he so we spent about 40 million dollars so that business owners now know it's legal for them to speak their own language in their own what am I missing here?
What was it illegal to speak their own language in their business?
It's San Francisco, Rush.
It's San Francisco.
But wait, there's another one.
And now he was on the bill.
Now, this is a classic California thing where they're gonna they were trying to pass legislation where they would fine you if the air pressure in your tires wasn't appropriate.
Yeah.
So every month you would have to go to the gas station and have them check you to see if your air if your air tire pressure was appropriate.
Le Leland Yi was a big pusher for this one.
Well, that was that I'm sure that was uh tied with President Obama's uh number one piece of advice on improving gasoline mileage during the gas price crisis, and that was having a tire gauge and making sure your tires were properly inflated.
Well, the And I'm sure that that uh Senator Lee uh uh Yee, Senator Yee thought that uh that'd be a great tie-in piece of legislation.
Oh, it was great because when they actually figured out he was talking about how it's gonna just save um the uh it was gonna really save the air quality and and decrease pollution and and it was gonna raise tax revenue, and they found out that actually the pollution created with.001% of all the pollution would be would be fixed because of this.
Wait a minute.
They were relating tire pressure to pollution.
Yeah.
Oh, because if you if your tire is not exactly filled up enough, you would be using more gas, and you'd be using it's all part of the global warming thing here.
It's great.
And that that's that's uh Senator Leland Yi, and that's his idea.
Exactly right.
So I don't think you have too much to worry about.
This guy is really he's doing a lot for Chinese culture himself.
I mean, that kind of brilliance is is is certainly renowned and be remembered for ages.
Well, Robert, I'm glad they have the on-site report.
Leland Yi, by the way, is running for mayor of San Francisco.
I have just been informed that he's uh running for mayor.
And I guess now because of Senator Leland Yi, you have a uh you can you can speak a foreign language in your business.
And it's no longer illegal.
I I explains I know that's right.
It's running for mayor, which explains everything.
It explains all of this.
Oh, that's the laugh that upsets Pat.
By the way, I wonder if she's come out of the tree yet.
Scott in Northern Michigan, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Rush Megadiddles from the Great White North.
It's an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Um, I was listening to Sheriff Dubnik's comments um the last few minutes, and I really honestly think Rush that he's riding the gravy train, and every time we we bring him up, I think he just uh is just enabled to continue to do it.
Well, that's bad that that's fine with me.
It's it's not as though we have anything to fear unless you actually live there.
I mean, I wouldn't want to drive through Pima County with a with a you know Russia's right bumper sticker on the car.
Uh right.
I would be heartbeat.
I mean, it's it it's not as though if if we're aiding anything, if we're promoting anything, it's institutional ignorance.
I can't see any harm in this.
Absolutely, Russ.
God bless you.
Thank you very much.
I'm there's no no other question that uh Sheriff Ducknik does like the limelight.
It's you can say I I I a I've I see this in people.
You know that the the quest, trust me on this, folks, I'm being serious.
The quest for fame is a destructive thing.
I have seen it totally ruined people.
They want to be famous, want to get noticed, get up and see if their name's in the paper every day.
It is a poison.
It is a is a genuine poison, and it it can lead to people making fools of themselves when they don't even know it.
And sometimes they don't care if they make fools of themselves.
If that's what it takes to uh to get noticed.
Anyway, Scott, thanks for the phone call, quick time out.
Uh Michelle Obama's Get Moving Program.
This is Mar uh Washington affiliate uh AM six thirty WMAL, Michelle Obama's Get Moving Program linked to pedestrian deaths.
