Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Well, look at it here.
Oh, uh, what is this?
I'm just seeing this.
Iran sitting down for six-party nuclear talks in Turkey.
As though that's gonna do it in it.
You know, these people success is sitting around talking.
Pure and sips, all they do.
Talk, misdirection, lie, straightforward, out and out, head fakes.
As we will demonstrate and illustrate, great to have you on the program, folks.
El Rushbo, the EIB network, and it's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Rearing and ready to go, open line Friday.
And ladies and gentlemen, for those of you new to the program, and there are new people to the program each and every day.
New audience members from the Chinese speaking community.
Great to have you here.
The way uh way open line Friday.
The way Open Line Friday works is pretty much the one day of the week where you can talk about anything you want or ask any question you want.
For example, we got the two NFL championship games.
The Hutch can't make it.
The Hutch is a man of the cloth, as you know, the Reverend Dr. Ken Hutchison.
And he's got his priorities in place today.
He's doing some stuff uh with his flock.
So the uh but uh we'll we'll get the Hutch uh priorities straight uh for the Friday prior to the Super Bowl.
He will be.
Oh, I have to do it.
I I this is easy.
These these two games are a snap.
These two games are piece of cake.
So we'll get to that.
Well, whatever you want to talk about, too.
Here's the telephone number, 800 282 2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
You know, I I I've been sitting on this story all week, purposely just to see where it would go.
And it has grown.
This governor out in Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, a well-known socialist, by the way, uh longtime member of Congress, now the governor of Hawaii, really stepped in it earlier what, this well, I think it was not even this week, it was last week.
The uh the governor, Neil Abercrombie, some time ago said, Look it, I was there when Obama was born in Hawaii.
That birth certificate, it exists.
Everybody knows it.
I was there when that kid was born.
It turns out he wasn't there, and he admitted he wasn't there.
He was there in spirit.
He was trying to say he's that certain.
And he was he was attempting to see he thinks that Obama ought to just get this off the table.
Abercrombie is worried that this birth certificate thing is going to be a lingering problem heading into 2012.
So Abercrombie, big friend of Obama, tried to step in there and head this off at the pass.
It turns out he can't find the birth certificate.
The governor of Hawaii cannot find it.
It's just a notation that somebody wrote down.
This has now made its way to the UK Daily Mail.
Hawaii governor claims record of Obama's birth exists in archives, but cannot produce it.
That's the headline.
Story originated at World Net Daily in this country earlier.
And of course, if it originates anywhere outside the mainstream press, the mainstream press will not acknowledge it.
Pressure was mounting on Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie amid increasing confusion over whether Obama was born there.
This is the UK Daily Mail.
Abercrombie said on Tuesday, an investigation had unearthed papers proving Obama was born in Hawaii.
In 1961, he told the Honolulu Star advertiser it actually exists in the archives.
It's written down.
But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama's birth that somebody had made in the state archives.
It's not a birth certificate.
And in the same interview, Abercrombie suggested that a long-term hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.
He said efforts were still being made to track down definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii.
Remember, he started out.
The whole reason for doing this was to firmly prove it and establish again it off the table so it wasn't an election issue for 2012.
And he's done the exact opposite now.
I mean, how many of us could get away with saying, yeah, there's a little notation somewhere there in the archives, and we can't find the birth certificate.
Oh, well, welcome to America, Mr. Limbaugh.
Do you think?
Do you think if this was me, and they were trying to prove that I wasn't an American, and I insisted that I was, but I couldn't produce a birth certificate or wouldn't.
And yet the governor of Missouri says, Oh, yeah, there's a little notification.
Somebody wrote down uh Limbaugh was born uh here.
Uh you think that would uh that fly that no, it wouldn't be let him back in the country, get him out of the country.
This guy's been an infiltrator since he was two, is what they would say about me, claiming that my original country of origin was China.
Abercrombie was asked, you stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plan to release more information regarding Obama's birth certificate.
How is that coming?
It's kind of like how's that hope and change working for you?
Abercrombie acknowledged that the birth certificate is to you would have political implications for the next presidential election that we simply cannot have.
Now, what does this tell us?
Neil Abercrombie is no fool.
Well, Neil Abercrum.
When it comes to electoral politics, Abercrombie knows the ins and outs.
And if Abercrombie senses a problem here, look at the the big mistake here was to announce in public what you were going to do before you knew you had what you told everybody you were going to produce.
This is kind of like a lawyer granting somebody immunity without knowing what the heck they're going to say.
So Abercrombie's kind of caught now.
He acknowledged the birth certificate issue would have political implications for the next presidential election that we simply cannot have.
It's a matter of principle with me, said Abercrombie, who is 72.
I knew his mom and dad.
I was here when he was born.
Anyone who wants to ask a question, honestly, could have had their answer already.
But there has been nobody come forward to definitively prove it.
In fact, most government officials have apparently done their best to seal it all off.
Whatever there is, they've sealed it all off.
And they've tried to poo-poo any interest in it.
And they have attempted to impugn those who have interest in it.
It's merely a presidential constitutional requirement.
It's really no big deal as far as the libs are concerned, but the Constitution's an impediment to them.
Some believe that uh Obama's certification or certification of live birth is fake, and that he was really born in Kenya.
Others argue Obama's a citizen of the United Kingdom or Indonesia.
Most theories have been dismissed by many in public office and the media, and have been found to be misleading or generally untrue.
But I don't read here, it doesn't say most theories have been dismissed by public records officials.
It just says dismissed by many in public office and in the media.
Well, big whoop.
However, the conspiracy theories still thrive, and according to Neil Abercrombie, are likely to continue despite whatever evidence that shows him to be a proper U.S. citizen.
Well, that's the thing.
Abercrombie wanted to get this out of the way.
He wanted to produce the you would think, I would think that if Abercrombie's going to do this, he's not the Lone Ranger.
You've got to be calling the White House, okay.
Look, we got a potential problem here.
I want to find this thing and I want to make it public.
Now, if that happened, somebody at the regime did not say no, don't do it.
Because Abercrombie's still alive.
If they had said no, don't do it, and Abercrombie's still doing it.
You I don't even think of the consequences of that.
So this is really not that hard.
I mean, if look at if somebody wanted your birth certificate and you don't have it, what do you do?
You go to the state where you were born, go to the vital record, You go down there and you make a copy of it, produce it, let it be seen.
The original thought was, well, you know, Obama, he knows he was born here.
This is just toying.
He knows that the birthers are a bunch of loony-toon kook right wingers, and he wants them illustrated as such.
So he'll toy with them.
Sort of like Charlie Brown of Lucy in the football.
And the media went along with that.
Oh, that's Obama, he's really politically smart, really crafty here.
He's got these birthers looking like the birchers that they are.
He's got them looking like the biggest kooks on the face of the earth.
And it went on and on and on that way.
We had several people of decent reputation file lawsuits in various states.
They were thrown out.
So the popular opinion has been the consensus has been, yeah, he's born in Hawaii, it ain't any big deal.
They still can't prove it.
This is stunning to me.
Still can't prove it.
Now, it's still entirely possible.
All this is a giant head fake.
It is for me, ladies and gentlemen, the sophisticated political figure that I am, it really hard for me to believe it.
Neil Abercrombie just one day woke up on his own and without consultation said, This birth thing bugs me.
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna call a press conference, and I'm gonna tell people I was there when he's born.
I knew his mom and dad, and he was born here, and I'm gonna prove it.
That's I said earlier, Abercrombie's no fool.
Many Hawaiians would disagree with me on that.
Many have.
If this guy's acting on his own, as I've just described, that's unbelievable.
The alternative is he's not acting on his own.
This is all part of a continuing head fake, and that at some point, after a lot of people have gotten revved up, because now that you know UK on Daily Mail Online is more mainstream than anywhere else in America, this has been.
Okay, so it ratchets up and ratchets up, and then a couple years down the road, a year and a half down the road, guess what?
The thing's found, and all you can you imagine the air that will be let out of people's sails then.
Now you have to ask yourself, is this regime capable of that kind of trick?
Yeah, they are.
Are they capable of having a newly elected governor, a Democrat, replacing a Republican, Neil Abercrombie, start out this whole thing?
Are they typical, capable of coming up with a program where Abercrombie embarrasses himself around the world on this?
And then all of a sudden, after, what would it be?
Six and a half, seven years, voila?
Somebody finds the birth certificate right out in the open in some file in Hawaii.
With this bunch of pointers, you just never know.
The governor vowed when he took orifice in December that he would do his best to end the debate over Obama's birth, which began in 2008 during the presidential campaign.
What's wrong with that sentence?
The governor of Hawaii vowed that he would do his best to end the debate over the president's birth.
Where's the president on this?
Where's the president's vow to end the debate over his birth?
We're going on 2008, we're going on four years now of this.
Keeps uh keeps intensifying.
Yeah, well, if that's true, would that not be great?
If they've found it in a garage sale next to uh uh one of those, uh one of those shaved ice stations.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Hey, here's what's gonna happen.
That's exactly right.
They're going to find it in a garage sale in Kahala.
And it will be stapled to a to things.
It'll be stapled to a pocket constitution and a declaration of the independent.
Anyway, Hawaii governor claims the record of Obama's birth exists in archives, cut, cannot produce the vital document.
Where's Obama?
Where's the White House?
This guy flying alone?
Neil Abercrombie on his own on this.
So much of this is difficult to uh to fathom, to believe.
Anyway, we have amazingly lots of stuff to do on a Friday, including your phone calls.
Let's take our first brief but highly profitable, obscenely profitable EIB timeout.
We'll be right back after this.
Don't go away.
Now I'll tell you why I think Abercrombie may just be toying around with everybody on this to pull a political trick later on down the line.
Remember October 31st, 2008, there was a statement from the director of the floor of the uh the Hawaii Department of Health.
His name is Chiomi Fuchino.
And here's the statement.
I mean, all Abercrombie would have to do is ask this guy because this guy in his statement says he's seen it.
There have been numerous requests for Senator Barack Hussein Obama's mm-mm official birth certificate.
State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
Therefore, I, as director of health for the state of Hawaii, along with the registrar of vital statistics, who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
So right here in his statement in 2008, he said he's seen it.
Yet Abercrombie can't find it.
Now, what gives here?
Abercrombie's a Democrat.
He's from the Pelosi Jim Wright.
I mean, this guy was in the demo for a long time.
This guy knows every trick and the guy's voted with the Soviets over the Contras of Nicaragua's.
This guy's every bit as far left as anybody in the House is today, and he's running around saying he can't find the birth certificate.
He's the governor, and yet the Department of Health director issued a statement on Halloween.
I'm sure that's a coincidence of 2008.
He's seen it.
I, as director of health for the state of Hawaii, along with a registrar of vital statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified the Hawaii State Department of Health has Senator Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the state of Hawaii.
So the director of health for Hawaii says he personally saw it.
I've got the PDF file of his statement.
I can link to it.
I can like it.
We could post it at Rushlinbod.com.
Now, out of the blue.
Here comes the new governor, Abercrombie, saying he can't find it.
No.
Folks, this is this is um.
I'm just warning you, be very, very careful on this.
This something here is just not right.
And you're snurdly, look at Snerdley says he's already got a call saying that somebody in Kenya has a birth certificate.
What the Hawaii birth certificates in Kenya.
The Kenyan Obama birth certificate is in Kenya.
This guy on the phone has seen it.
Oh, come on.
Come on, look at I know open line Friday is open line Friday, but we're we're not gonna take a call from somebody who says she has Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.
What are you trying to do to me?
The Chicoms have already set the American media on me.
Now you're trying to get the Kenyan media for crying out loud, Snerdley.
Don't put that call up.
Oh my gosh.
I knew I should have taken the day off.
Now we've got, I don't know if you well, I'm sure you saw it by now.
Jeffrey Melt, the CEO of General Electric, who now they're saying is a big Republican, lifelong Republican, has been appointed to replace somebody on the Council of Economic Advisors.
Now, folks, I'm gonna tell you something.
I this this really smells.
This Congress needs to really look into this.
We have another advisory board created by executive order to tell the government what it needs to do to help create jobs.
They have a deficit reduction board.
Did you know that?
How good a job is that bunch done?
Diddley squat, a giant failure.
And now we've got this.
And who is it made up of?
New Congress, a lot of people saying that this really needs to be investigated.
General Electric and Obama are in bed with each other.
General Electric got gobs of TARP money.
They got they got stimulus money.
They don't need it.
General Electric didn't need any of that money.
General Electric has been in bed with Obama on this green energy garbage.
MSNBC, the NBC networks go green many weeks a year with their graphics and all this other stuff.
And they've used government money to create this green energy division that they have.
And they're behind these compact fluorescent light bulbs.
They run NBC and MSNBC to steep loss in order to give Obama his own cheerleading news network, and the CEO ends up on an advisory board now.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
A uh story from the Washington Post, June 29th, 2009.
Let me summarize this story for you.
TARP was expanded by Obama for GE, which did not qualify as a bank.
Remember now, TARP was to bail out banks.
TARP was expanded by Obama for GE, which didn't qualify as a bank.
GE's bank became the top beneficiary of TARP funds.
Jeffrey Immelt involved here.
The story from the Washington Post is Monday, June 29, 2009, how a loophole benefits GE in bank rescue.
Industrial Giant becomes top recipient in debt guarantee program.
You didn't need any more.
I'll give you this is this is it's astounding here.
There needs to be a stop right now and an investigation of all of this.
General Electric, the world's largest industrial company, has quietly become the biggest beneficiary of one of the government's key rescue programs for banks.
Yes.
At the same time, GE has avoided many of the restrictions facing other financial giants getting help from the government.
The company did not initially qualify for the TARP program under which the government sought to unfreeze credit markets by guaranteeing debt sold by banking firms.
But regulators soon loosened the eligibility requirements, in part because of behind-the-scenes appeals from GE.
So the outfit that makes your your uh jet engines, for those of you that have them, your refrigerators, your microwaves, your washers and dryers, all this stuff is a bank.
They were qualified as a bank so they could get TARP bailout money.
As a result, GE has joined major banks collectively saving billions of dollars by raising money from their operations at lower interest rates via TARP.
Public records show that GE Capital, the company's massive financing arm, has issued nearly a quarter of the $340 billion in debt backed by the program known as the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or TLGP.
The government's actions have been powerful and helpful to the company, GE Chief Exec Jeffrey M. Elt acknowledged.
In December, GE's finance arm is not classified as a bank.
Rather, it worked its way into the rescue program by owning two relatively small Utah banking institutions, illustrating how the loopholes in the U.S. regulatory system are manifest in the government's historic intervention in the financial crisis.
Unlike other major lenders participating in a debt guarantee program, including Bank of America, Citigroup, and JP Morgan Chase, GE has never been subject to the Fed's stress tests or its rules for limiting risk.
Also, unlike firms that have received bailout money and the troubled asset relief programmer TARP, GE is not subject to restrictions such as limits on executive compensation.
So GE, unlike AIG Goldman Sachtimate, can bonus their execs whatever amount they want.
They can pay their execs whatever amount they want.
They were recategorized as a bank so as to get bank bailout money.
And now yesterday, GE's chairman ends up on a new advisory committee on jobs in the economy, set up by executive order.
And the Washington Post is totally unfazed as they report this.
Oh, it's just more Obama structural brilliance as far as they are concerned.
Now, this seems to call for an investigation.
I mean, this is serious insider dealing here between this company and this president.
Now it's obvious, been clear to everybody, Obama has a plan in place.
And it's a again, as I say very obvious plan, use the bureaucracy, not legislation.
Use the bureaucracy to advance the most radical agenda possible in health and environment, which is what this GE stuff is all about, while creating a PR perception in the opposite direction.
That of the cool headed, moderate, open to ideas civil president.
It's a complete ruse.
It's a complete attempt to deceive the people.
Say one thing, but act another way.
Now, on the PR front, the president talks about growing jobs when he destroys them.
He talks about free markets when he attacks them.
He talks about civility when he refuses to denounce the haters among his friends.
And notice too now how he rewards huge corporations who tow the line, like all the finance houses that were at the state dinner with China.
He attacks corporations that actually create things or build things like oil, steel, coal, etc.
I've got a story I've got to print it out.
It prints out to about 25 pages.
So it's going to take me a couple hours here to go through this and get you the salient aspects of it.
But back during, I think it was 2007, 2008.
Don't hold me to these dates.
I gotta figure this out in just a second.
During the campaign when Obama's out there ripping Walmart to shreds.
His wife shows up there the other day and has somehow bullied or pressured Walmart, which already sells things for low prices, into selling healthy food at lower prices during the winter.
Michelle Obama shows up, and she and her husband are now partners with Walmart when in 2000, 2008, this guy joined the unions and trying to put him out of business.
So Muchell Obama, the first lady, is now in charge of what you eat at Walmart and what it costs.
She just shows up.
Last I looked, Walmart's a private sector company.
First lady can go in there all she wants.
She can even call a press conference, but she does so.
And why do you think Walmart's listening to this?
Look, don't get mad at Walmart.
This is not the point here.
What would you do?
This bunch strolls in your front door.
This bunch.
This regime had a representative high up, strolls in your front door, demands a microphone press conference, and demands you lower your.
What are you going to do?
Most people are going to cave.
It's not worth the trouble.
And this on top of this general elective stuff.
That that state dinner was filled with leftist Wall Street welfare recipients.
Very few people there from real industries, which are the subject of the EPA's job killing and growth killing agenda.
There's one guy who gets this, Donald Trump.
He's been all over the place this week talking about China and our relationship with him.
He went to CNN last night, talked to Wolf Blitzer on the Situation Room.
Blitzer said if you were in one of those meetings with President Hu Xin Tao in a nutshell, what would you say to him?
I wouldn't be having fancy state dinners to a country, and he's the primary representative that's done nothing but take advantage of the United States.
I find it amazing when I listen to some of the political leaders talking about how we're making progress.
They're making 300 billion dollars a year and probably more than that each year.
Let's call it profit off the United States.
They're manipulating their currency.
Intellectual property rights and everything else are a joke over there.
This is a country that is ripping off the United States like nobody other than OPEC has ever done before.
Yeah, he wasn't finished.
These are not our friends.
These are our enemies.
These are not people that understand niceness.
And the only thing you can do, Wolf, to get their attention is to say either we're not going to trade with you any further, or in the alternative, we're going to tax your products as they come into the United States.
And then he said, Yeah, he's thinking about running for president.
I'm giving it very serious, though.
I mean it's all jobs.
I mean, we really have an effective rate of 18% unemployment, not 9.4%.
And it depending on the way you count the numbers, it could be more than that.
We'll see what happens with jobs.
But something doesn't happen with oil.
Gasoline now is selling for way over three dollars a gallon.
If something doesn't happen with that, if something doesn't happen with jobs, I very well may do it, Wolf, because this is not a respected country anymore.
We're a whipping post for the world.
And just to be precise, you'd run for the Republican presidential nomination, is that right?
I'm a Republican.
I'd run as a Republican.
Wolf, are you serious?
You listened to Donald Trump say all this and you have to ask him if he'd run as a Republican.
I guess that's I'm sure that Wolf was hoping he was part of the no-label crowd.
Somebody else asked Trump, well, what would you have gone to the state dinner?
Hell no, I wouldn't go to state dinner.
I'd have him get off the airplane, come to the White House have a meeting.
If they didn't go along with what we want, I'd send a McDonald's, tell him get back on the airplane.
Donald Trump.
Quick timeout, back with more right here.
Open line Friday, EIB network.
By the way, just for the record, folks, I must tell you, I get emails, I can't tell you how many in a week from people in Nigeria who claim that they have Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.
Now give it to me if I'll just give them my bank account information.
I mean, it's tons of people who must have the birth certificate over there.
And all they want for it's my bank info.
Now get this.
This is a Fox News blog.
Ugh.
Threw away the second page.
Didn't mean to do that.
The headline Holder.
The Attorney General Holder asked to investigate Justices Scalia and Thomas.
Liberal nonprofit common cause is asking the Department of Justice to investigate Chief Justice Clarence Thomas.
He's not the chief justice.
Associate Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia in relation to the Citizens United Supreme Court case.
Arguing their decision in the case raised serious questions about the impartiality of both justices.
It appears that both justices have participated in political strategy sessions, perhaps while the case was pending, with corporate leaders whose political aims were advanced by the decision, rights Common Cause President CEO Bob Edgar in a petition to the Justice Department file this week.
So this bunch common cause wants Scalia and Thomas investigated.
Al Sharpton wants the FCC to investigate me.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
This is this is the Obama re-election campaign in um in earnest here as it kicks off.
Open Line Friday, we go to the phones earlier on Friday.
Remember, uh two, three weeks ago, this show on Open Line Friday was an absolute bomb.
That's the risk that we take.
Okay, six weeks ago.
Seems like yesterday to me, snarly.
It was an absolute bomb.
You never know.
One of the reasons Open Line Friday is so fraught with anticipation and excitement in the minds and hearts of all our audience members.
We're gonna start in Sarasota, Florida, with Bob, your first.
It's great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Yes, uh Megaditto is from a three-decade listener.
How are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thanks very much.
Yeah, I'm a retired Tima County Sheriff Deputy.
Uh retired back in ninety-five, and I just wanted to share with you.
Wait, just a second.
When when was Sheriff Dupnik elected?
He was uh elected back in actually he assumed the position back in the nineteen eighties.
He was uh no no no, I don't mean assume the position.
When did he become sheriff?
Back in the nineteen eighties.
He was a chief So you served with Sheriff Dupnik while he was sheriff.
Uh yes, I did.
That's what I was trying to establish.
Yes, sir.
What position, but since you're talking about what position did he assume?
Well, he uh from my recollection of what happened at the time, uh he was the chief deputy under Sheriff Boykin.
Okay, so missionary reversed.
Okay.
So you you served with Dupnik uh when he was the hen honcho.
Yes, sir.
I was a lion deputy.
All right.
And um so what I wanted to bring out was something that was hammered down to us uh in our training and it was also in our handbook which stated that uh you could not as an officer or a departmental personnel offer your opinions officiously to the public.
That meant that you could not go out there and offer up your opinions before the press or before the public.
As as a working member of the department.
Yes, sir, exactly.
And one of the things that he is doing right now, uh you know, I mean, other than this case and him carrying water for Janet Napolitano, uh, is that uh he's out there offering up his opinions.
So he's uh a hypocrite to say the least, and uh he should he's violating his own rules of regular.
Is this is this new for Sheriff Duppner?
I mean Dupnik uh is only become the attention of the nation given the Gabriel Gifford's episode, but you say he's been carrying big sis water, which that's a big jug, uh for quite a while.
Has he been public politically?
Uh during local and state issues that we haven't heard about nationally.
Well, uh as far as I know, he's always uh shot from the hip.
He's always offered up his opinions, uh, has he has he seemed to be a guy who likes media attention, the limelight.
Oh, yes, he does.
And uh he's he's got a liberal type of agenda, and um uh in fact his campaign manager for all these years has been a very left-wing liberal type of uh individual.
What you have in uh Pima County, which is normally a conservative type of area, uh there's a influx of people I call them the crunchy granola crowd, and they're from from California, so they've relocated there.
Yeah.
And uh, you know, with all their cosmic energy and everything, and uh they're the ones who are big donors and they're keeping this individual in power.
He he should retire.
That's just my position.
Well, he's way beyond the bounds of civility here, there's no question.
Let me ask you this.
Sheriff uh Sheriff Dupnik was really railing yesterday against the rich.
He didn't know it, but he was criticizing Obama.
Uh Obama who was the one who spearheaded the notion of maintaining the current Bush tax rates.
Yet Sheriff Duppnik was ripping those who cared only about the rich.
Does Sheriff what what kind of money does the sheriff in Pima County make?
Well, I I really can't uh f I can't say exactly how much uh he would get.
It's an elected position and uh So it's like a hundred and twenty grand plus whatever you can take under the table.
Well, I'm certain.
I'm certain that it's uh at least that much.
I'm sure he's uh made uh his fair share of money off of the uh position.
I mean, we're talking about thirty years here, so he probably has a sizable bank account.
Yeah.
I'm just kidding about that.
I mean, we that's the joke about all politicians.
I would I have I have no I never heard of Sheriff uh Ducknik until this all came up.
But that doesn't surprise me.
She got the you got the uh the Brian Croissant crowd or the the chum chuckers as you talk 'em.
Yep.
Who have invaded your conservative county and given us uh a perpetual election of this uh law enforcement official.
C yes, could I could I make an observation about it?
Oh, yeah, please do.
Um well a lot of people don't know because Hollyweird is always giving a uh slanted version of what happened uh with regard to Tombstone and the infamous OK Corral.
Um a lot of people don't know that uh White Earp was actually a Pima County Sheriff's Deputy when he killed the Clantons at the OK Corral.
And you are kidding me.
I'm serious.
If you go back in history, you'll find this out.
They they always say that he was a um tombstone town marshal.
He was not.
And basically what happened is Coachese County, uh the political lines were being drawn at the time back in eight.
Good gosh, no wonder.
And with this kind of disinformation about Wyatt Earp, no wonder you've this explains a lot.
Doesn't it?
And and then what happened is that uh uh immediately following that, of course you know that uh White Earp did have a feud going on with the Clantons, and he knew that he was about to lose his power uh because Pima County would have been outside that jurisdiction.
So then he went to the Federal Marshalls and enlisted and became a federal marshal and so that he would maintain his jurisdiction in Tombstone.
And a lot of people don't know that.
And uh there's actually I have a history book from Pima County uh Sheriff's Department that reflects uh it it shows a picture of White Earp and it has uh his signature in it.
So the bottom line is your your county has been targeted by Hollywood for who knows how long.
Well, this explains so much.
I am I am so glad that you called.
Bob thanks.
He's he's retired in Sarasota, Florida now.
We'll be back.
Where else do you get this kind of history list that dates all the way back to Hollywood?
Don't go away.
Okay, first hour, open lion Friday, officially into the cans.
It is going well, off to a rousing start.
Don't know what that means for the rest of it, but our hopes are high.
And we'll be back.
