Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Holy cow, folks, who would have thought that you could make as much money setting up a liberal wet job website as you could by marrying and divorcing a rich guy.
Talking about Zaza Hovington here.
$315 million for the Huffing and Puffington Post.
And AOL bought it.
Probably this I'll tell you what this is.
I'll tell you exactly what this is.
The left will spend anything to save itself from reality.
And the reality is that nobody cares.
The reality is it's a big trouble.
So let's put it.
Let's buy it.
Let's let's just put $315 million behind it.
And let's make it look like it's something that's big and something that's happening.
Meanwhile, the site is moderating toward the center.
It's not even trying to aim at the fringe leftist base anymore.
Uh, because there isn't a whole lot of money there.
Anyway, great to have you here, folks.
L Rushbow, we are back.
Why didn't AOL why do they just go out and buy the Democrat Party and cut out the middleman?
Who needs the website?
And now, Zaza, what's she gonna say?
18 to 20 million dollars a year is what she's going to be paid uh for this, which will buy a lot of uh stuff from Chanel.
You know, a lot of a lot of pamper treatments at the spas wherever she gets them done.
So I guess it's uh it's a good deal.
Great to have you here, folks.
Telephone number 800-282882, the email address L Rushball at EIBNet.com from the Los Angeles Times, U.S. eases off of call for swift Egypt reform.
Now there's a companion story to this in the UK independent.
Can Egypt's revolution stay the distance?
Increasing signs of normality in parts of Cairo belie a continuing steelmate.
After 30 unbroken years as president of Egypt, it seemed as if Hazni Mubarak's charmed career was finally coming to an end, but he came up with a brilliant idea right out of the Obama playbook.
He gave all federal employees in Egypt, all government employees, a 15% pay increase.
And about one-third of the crowd went home.
Cairo's famous traffic jams were back, businesses, shops, banks were open across the Capitol.
Obama spoke of the progress the Egyptian government was making towards reform.
And though still in tens of thousands, the numbers at Tahiri Riri Square were probably down on the previous time.
I mean, it's still a lot out there.
Uh tens of thousands, but it doesn't appear.
I mean, the headline, can Egypt's revolution stay the distance?
Do they have the staying power?
And you know what?
They have now said they're making it look, I guess it's going to be a permanent tent city.
They're gonna have showers for those that want them.
Uh taking a shower can be a sign of weakness within certain elements of this movement.
They're even going to have smoking and non-smoking sections for the protest.
I kid you not.
If you want to smoke, there's a section for you over here.
In the protest of Mubarak, if you don't smoke, there's a section for you over there.
I don't know.
Bloomberg's involved in it, I don't know.
Uh uh uh we'll know if if uh Michelle My Bell's involved if we start hearing about all the healthy food they're eating over there, the couscous and you know the um fried goat's eyes or whatever else she deems to be appropriate.
Um by the way, uh Keith Olberdork, who uh left MSNBC is going to Al Gore's cable channel, Current TV, where Yeah, it's it it's still on, and I'll tell the uh here's here's I just have one piece of advice for the people at Fox.
Do not ever talk about what goes on over there, and nobody will ever hear about it.
You know, if if uh Oberwood wouldn't be anything today if they hadn't decided to start picking fights with those people over there.
That network wouldn't have half the audience it's got as it does now.
Anyway, um the Chinese opera format was not working at current TV.
The global warming stuff just hadn't caught hold, so now they're all in with Olberdork as the political director and prime time talent uh at Al Gore's cable channel.
That's trust me, uh ladies and gentlemen, as a highly trained broadcast specialist.
This is a move that under normal circumstances you wouldn't publicize, and you would frankly hope nobody ever heard about.
But the uh the words out.
Back to the LA Times here.
U.S. eases off call for swift Egypt reform.
The regime, that's the Obama regime, feels the approach is needed to reassure Middle East allies of U.S. loyalty.
But gradual reform isn't going to satisfy the protest movement movement in uh in in Cairo.
Uh there's really a lot of uh questions that uh that they have uh over there.
They don't know if the replacement for Mubarak that everybody has in mind is uh is gonna be about democracy that they called for.
Uh it's still unclear what this is really all about.
Uh I I look at it and I I see the divisions in this country over what's going on and who's saying what about it.
And with something called the Muslim Brotherhood involved in this, and that supposedly the uh the brothers here are having trouble getting a foothold on this thing.
Uh we shall we shall see.
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said that uh statements like uh this culture of democracy statement uh being in place for democracy to flourish.
Statements like that are not going to be met with any agreement by the people of Egypt because they don't address the very legitimate grievances that we've seen expressed as a result of these protests.
On Monday, a group of Middle East experts wrote Obama expressing fears the White House might acquiesce to an inadequate and possibly fraudulent transition process in Egypt.
Of course they would.
Anything to make it look like there's movement over there so that the regime can claim credit for it as having had the uh the real power and influence to uh to make it all happen.
And then uh, ladies and gentlemen, what was it the days are running uh together here?
Oh, before we get to that, let me stay on topic.
This is um this is from the Fort Worth Dallas area, CBS Eyeball News.
Some students at Mansfield ISD's schools could soon be learning Arabic as a required language.
The Scrual District wants students at select schools to take Arabic languages and culture classes as part of a federally funded grant.
The foreign language assistance program, otherwise known as FLAP.
The grant was awarded to Mansfield ISD last summer by the U.S. Department of Education, i.e.
the regime.
As part of the five-year 1.3 part of the the part of the five-year 1.3 million dollar grant Arabic classes would be mandatory at Cross Timbers Intermediate School and Kenneth Davis Elementary Scruol.
The program would also be optional for students at T.A. Howard Middle School and Summit Hascruel.
Parents at Cross Timber say they were caught off guard by the program, were surprised that the district only told them about it in a meeting Monday night between parents and the superintendent, the Department of Education, the regime, in other words, has identified Arabic as a language of the future.
But parent Joseph Balson was frustrated.
Why are we just now finding out about it?
He said, It's them, the school district, applying for the grant, getting it approved, and them now saying they'll go back and change it only when they were caught trying to implement this plan without parents knowing about it.
Interesting, and they're trying to implement the plan without the parents knowing about it.
Mansfield ISD says in addition to language, the grant provides culture, government, art, traditions, and history.
Arabic as part of the curriculum.
Yeah, it's a well-rounded education that we're going for here.
Uh Trisha Savage says, I think it's a great opportunity to open doors.
We need to think globally and act locally.
Some parents had concerns over religion.
The scroll doesn't teach Christianity, so I don't want them teaching Islam, said parent Baron Kane.
During Monday's meeting, Morrison stressed a curriculum would not be about religion, but about Arabic language and culture, similar to the Spanish curriculum already in place in the districts.
What foreign languages are taught at elementary schools?
Does anybody know what this is?
We're talking in some cases here, if I uh read this right.
Elementary school, yeah.
Cross Timbers Intermediate Scrual and Kenneth Davis Elementary School.
What foreign languages are taught in elementary school?
Some places uh Spanish and French are taught in elementary school.
It's voluntary.
Voluntarily.
Is English taught in elementary school?
Well, I'm just asking.
Been a long time since I've been in elementary school, and I frankly didn't retain much.
And it was many, many moons ago, so whatever I went through is clearly not uh not relevant here.
Well, I sternly I don't know.
The story doesn't say anything about the girls having to wear burkas.
I I didn't go that far.
I just it's a cultural thing here.
Uh so I the Hajib Mahun uh the hijab.
I don't, I'm just telling you what the story says from CBS Eyeball News in Dallas.
They're gonna start teaching Arabic in elementary school and culture because it's a language of the future.
By the way, uh Mrs. No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, they're paying Olbermann in carbon credits.
They don't have any money to pay.
Everybody's asking me how much.
We are back.
Rush Lipball, brand new week broadcast excellence.
Happy to have you on the EIB network.
Now, as we predicted last week, ladies and gentlemen, the news media now reporting that it was Hillary's idea that her good friend Mubarak not step down right away.
Remember the conflicting news we got about this last week.
McMarik needs to go now.
Obama said, we want it now, and the protesters ramped up the violence.
And Hillary moved in and said, we did good friend Mobarek not step down right away.
So we need to forget all this talk about the transition needing to start immediately.
It was the French news agency.
Mubarak may need to stay longer to ensure elections succeed in Egypt.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged someday Egyptian president Hazni Mubarak may need to stay on longer than many of his opponents want in order to ensure that elections succeed.
And it wasn't that long ago.
Um back January 25th, a couple of weeks ago, Hillary Clinton Mubarak regime is stable.
Now, this is the same woman who mocked George W. Bush for not finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, even though her husband and she herself had said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
Now she's out with conflicting stories, news, ideas on what uh on what Mubarak ought to do.
Speaking of weapons of mass destruction, a reminder we have Donald Rumsfeld at the top of the hour today talk about his book, uh Known and Unknown.
I got some um some questions for uh the former Secretary of Defense.
He'll be here.
What do we have him for, H.R.?
A half hour?
Is that what the?
Yeah, okay, we have him for at least a half hour.
So uh we'll see how it goes.
In the meantime, uh yesterday, Barack Obama went to the Chamber of Commerce, make a big speech.
Two applause lines in 40 minutes.
Barack Obama lecturing the private sector on proper business practices, expansion, investment, profitability without a hint of experience, much less a track record of success in the private sector with policies that he signed into law becoming president.
Michelle Obama's out lecturing parents and schools and grocery stores and restaurants on matters of nutrition and healthy eating without a degree, without any past success or knowledge, much less a track record of success regarding anything outside of maintaining toned triceps.
Oh, and working in a hospital.
Listening to accomplished losers lectured On how to win the future walks a fine line between humor and boredom.
But such is the power of the presidency.
This country economically, you'd have to go back quite a while to find a time where we have been uh in in worse shape, and that's mostly due to giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on his absurd theories of winning the future via massive surges in private sector regulations and spending and all that,
lining the pockets of public sector unions, the phony green technology companies, crony capitalism with companies such as GE.
We we we've tried every way.
We've tried every Obama way.
We try every Obama idea, and we've lost.
We have listened to every idea that he, every philosophy.
The future will be won by defeating Obama at the ballot box.
There he is out there lecturing everybody at the Chamber of Commerce.
And the state controlled media said that his speech was just like JFK.
We have a media montage of them just going bananas over Obama's speech to the chamber.
It was a John F. Kennedy sort of asked what you can do for your country speech.
A JFK moment.
Stealing a page from JFK.
A JFK style challenge to businesses.
A Kennedy like call to action.
Harkin back to President Kennedy.
Sounded like JFK.
He's an amazing.
So here we have media all over the country.
It sounded just like JFK.
Just like JFK.
Meanwhile, Obama's gonna double the unemployment insurance tax on employers.
Double it.
He didn't mention that to Chamber of Commerce.
But he's gonna double it.
He's also gonna bail the states out.
That's already started.
Help them with their indebtedness over unemployment compensation benefits, in addition to doubling the unemployment insurance tax on employers, doesn't tell them that.
No, we've got a JFK moment.
As in ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
We've got to redistribute wealth.
We have to re we have to share corporate profits with the workers.
And good old totalitarian language.
Share the profits with the workers.
And not enough of that's been going on.
Not enough profit sharing with the workers has been going on.
Well, what did JFK have to say about economics?
Let's go back.
December 14th, 1962, New York City, New York Economic Club, John F. Kennedy.
We have some sound bites of this speech.
This administration pledged itself last summer to an across the board top to bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes to be enacted and become effective in 1963.
I'm not talking about a quickie or a temporary tax cut, which would be more appropriate if a recession were imminent.
Nor am I talking about giving the economy a mere shot in the arm to ease some temporary complaint.
The federal government's most useful role is not to rush into a program of excessive increases in public expenditures, but to expand the incentives and opportunities for private expenditures.
Folks, is your mouth open here?
Is your mouth open in utter awe?
John F. Kennedy.
They just told us that Obama had a JFK moment.
Here's John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Do not raise expenditures in a recession.
Do not rush into a program of excessive increases in public expenditures in a recession.
Expand incentives and opportunities for private expenditures.
He wanted a an across-the-board top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes.
Not something quicky, not something temporary.
Tax cuts would be appropriate if a recession were imminent.
And even more so if we were in one.
There's not one, folks, similarity between JFK's economic recipe in 1962 and Obama's enactment of economic policies in 2009 to the present.
They have nothing in common other than they're both Democrats.
This is how the left, this is how the media excels at history revision.
Take an inaugural speech, ask not what you can do for your country.
Ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country and tell that to a bunch of CEOs as though they are stealing the country blind when you are, as president, when you are stealing the country blind, when you're spending it into oblivion, you blame it on these guys and then claim it was Kennedy-esque.
Well, there's a problem.
You just heard the first of a few sound bites we have at JFK talking about what to do in similar economic circumstances to today, and it is the exact opposite of what Obama is doing.
Now, here's JFK even admitting here, and he knows about these things.
He wasn't talking about a quickie.
JFK knew about those things.
As we all know.
More Kennedy sound bites just to illustrate for you the totally fraudulent attempt to link Obama and JFK in this regard.
Barack Hossein Obama of the regime and his absurd admonitions to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
I don't know what this is.
Is this giving the left some love before the big corporate tax cut?
Is that what the speech was?
Is there a big corporate tax cut coming?
It's sort of like, hey yeah, you know, we're gonna we're gonna sell a Huffington Post.
And it's so wildly popular.
It's we're gonna get $315 million.
Oh, you people on the left, look at how big we are.
We're selling this thing for $315 million.
Zha's gonna get 18 to 20 of it.
And by the way, we're moving to the center because it didn't sell.
And this $315 million is just the left circling the wagons to try to create the impression it's big and happening.
They'll pay anything to protect the reputations.
They'll spend any price to create the impression that they're not failing.
I mean, for crying out loud, folks.
JFK moment.
Obama raising taxes, increasing regulations, wild federal spending, a JFK moment.
It's more like a Bill Clinton moment with the media playing the role of Monica Lewinsky.
And it just never stops.
It just keep going.
Here's more.
This is this is JFK, December 14th, exploit in 1962, explaining trickle down.
Yes.
It's a Bill Clinton moment with the media playing the role of Monica Lewinsky.
Yes, you heard me right.
Do you realize it takes away the humor sturdily if I have to say things twice?
Trying to maintain the rhythm here.
Speaking of Clinton and Lewinsky, JFK, this is uh December 14th, 1962, Economic Club, New York.
When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity.
Men are hired instead of laid off.
Investment increases and profits are high.
Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital.
The government has already taken major steps this year to reduce business tax liability and to stimulate the modernization, replacement, and expansion of our productive plan and equipment.
So, as you hear, nothing JFK-esque about any policy Obama has had so far.
So I'm just wondering if he's not setting the stage here for a corporate tax reduction proposal.
Might be coming down the pipe.
I have to tell you, folks, Obama lecturing America's businesses about how to direct their profits.
I don't know.
How do we sit here with a straight face?
His stimulus plan was a massive failure.
It drove up the deficit to unpayable levels.
Obama care is one of many elements that will uh I don't know.
If if it is fully implemented, it is going to destroy the U.S. private sector as we know it.
Health care premiums will go up, trillions will be added to the deficit, unemployment far higher than the reported and unacceptable 9.9% level here.
And this guy, the architect of all of this, goes out of the lectures, the Chamber of Commerce about how to direct their profits.
This is so absurd.
But Mr. Lumbo, he's the president of the United States.
I know that's the sh-that's a real shame of it.
How did that happen, Mr. Newcastradis?
People like you.
I mean, it it is it is so open to ridicule.
It makes it makes me wonder if this is red meat to the left before some cold water gets poured on him.
You know, like the sale of AOL.
That's red meat to the left before they figure out that it was in the in the in the dumper.
Uh Obama has said he is open to lowering the corporate tax rate.
And that will more than likely happen.
And I guess maybe one of the reasons why the media has been given marching artists to go out there and compare Obama to JFK.
Because I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that's next to come.
He proposes a cut in the corporate tax rate, which will be fine, by the way.
And then they'll play these Kennedy bites and say, see.
So I think Obama maybe in that speech yesterday giving some rhetoric to the left before he signs up for supply side stimulation in anticipation of the 2012 election.
Just guessing, might be wrong, wouldn't be surprised.
But the point is Obama cannot abandon the left.
And yet he has to do what he can to try to drive down unemployment, even if it's for show.
Because he's he's got to show a kinder, gentler side to independence.
His reelection hinges on somehow getting them back from the Republicans.
And if Obama takes real steps to help the private sector, he has to make increasingly absurd and hypocritical speeches to let the left know that Obama hasn't really embraced Reagan.
He's just saying this stuff.
He's got to give him a wink.
It's okay, you guys understand here.
For the good of the movement, I gotta say this stuff.
I gotta do some of this stuff, get re-elected, and then we'll drop the hammer on him again.
That's the wink and nod.
He's got to rely on the sophistication of the left, and if he can't rely on that, he'll rely on the media to secretly and publicly get that message out to the um the lunatic fringe.
Well, look what's happening here.
Obamacare uh under assault.
The blue dogs are abandoning the party.
There are real cuts, deficit cuts being demanded.
But they've got a story here in the stack, a new Democrat threat to the health care law, a handful of moderate Senate Democrats looking for ways to roll it back as part of their re-election bid.
Clay Claire McCaskill has won Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
You got that, and then you've got you got a story here from um, where is it?
Forget what blue here to the Hill.com.
Blue dogs mull budget defection.
Blue dog Democrats might support a plan from House Republicans to cut 32 billion dollars in discretionary spending mission.
The bottom line is the blue dogs, the Democrats in the House have no power unless they caucus with Republicans.
Vilch Zero, Nancy Pelosi's got nothing.
Nancy Pelosi can't scare the Heath Shulers of the world anymore.
Nancy Pelosi cannot scare these people.
I mean, she can try to tell them we're gonna get back in office in two years, and if you don't support me now, you're toast.
But in the meantime, they have no power unless they caucus with the Republicans.
And so the Blue Dogs, they are abandoning the Democrat Party, they're abandoning Pelosi.
There probably are going to be some significant spending cuts here, which puts the regime in a bit of a tough spot.
Because Obama wants to get uh unemployment down to under 8%, uh reported under 8%.
And if he wants to be seen uh as being reasonable on the deficit, if he wants to get beyond the failures of Obamacare, he has to go out and spew boilerplate populism.
He has to go out and talk about class warfare, straw men lies to offset any Reagan-esque steps he may be forced to take or accept.
And he may have to do these things.
He may have to go out and make it look like he's moving to the center and articulate this stuff while giving a wink and a nod uh to his uh leftist fringe base.
By the way, Pelosi hadn't even talked to the blue dog since the election.
So there's a there's a a schism, schism there.
And this is, you know, Obama's fully aware of all this.
They're trying to make some hay out of this Egypt business.
And now lecturing the Chamber of Commerce.
The architect of all of this economic failure, lecturing these people on what to do with their profits.
What these people know is the longer this guy's in office, there aren't going to be any profits.
And whatever profits there are, he's gonna take.
And redistribute himself.
Here's one more JFK bite from his speech at the New York Economic Club in December of 1962.
And again, we're playing these for you because the the media template here that Obama's speech of the chamber was Kennedy-esque.
Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large federal deficits on the other.
It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget.
Just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.
Surely the lesson of the last decade is that budget deficits are not caused by wild-eyed spenders, but by slow economic growth and periodic recessions.
And any new recession would break all deficit records.
In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low.
And the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.
Now they're out there comparing this to Obama.
Or I'm just saying Obama to that.
And it ain't true.
There is no comparison.
So they're either setting this up as Obama's gonna do some stuff that sounds like this, or else they're just trying to pull the wool over our eyes, knowing full well that outside of this program, nobody's gonna know.
That JFK said anything like this.
Hey, for you people out there in the stick to the issues crowd, I got people on the phones who want to talk about Super Bowl of a little bit, so we're gonna get to it.
But one thing here, uh we're talking about Obama Kennedy taxes and so forth.
AP with a uh a story yesterday, uh, by one measure federal taxes lowest since 1950.
They started by asking are taxes too high, actually, as a share of the nation's economy.
Uncle Sam's take this year will be the lowest since 1950 when the Korean war was just getting underway.
What they're basically saying is tax revenue is down.
Uncle Sam not getting his fair share.
Tax revenue is down thanks to the recession, which have been going on over 19 months.
Tax revenue is down because 17% of the population isn't working.
Tax revenue's down because a whole bunch of people have no jobs and aren't paying any taxes.
We're not, but they want you to think taxes are down because our rates are too low.
AP is is is running a piece here that basically says we need to raise federal income taxes.
The poor economy is to blame and corporate profits down and unemployment up.
But so is a tax code that grows each year with new deductions, credits, and exemptions.
So they've, you know, this is this is the truth.
AP, just an arm of Obama.
And and there you have a you have the president saying one thing to the Chamber of Commerce.
Here's AP ringing its hand, oh, well, tax revenues of the federal can.
Imagine that.
When is the last time the AP ran a story on oh my gosh, how hard is it for people to live when they're fired and have no income?
No, when it's a Democrat president, we get stories about yet the new discoveries of life await you on the unemployment line.
New togetherness with your family, new togetherness with your children, a new purpose in life.
Republican president, you're unemployed, you may as well go commit suicide.
Poor old federal Gaporal Uncle Sam getting the short end of the stick.
Right.
Because of Obama.
You want to look at it that way.
Bill in Park Falls, Wisconsin.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Thank you.
How come you're tiptoing around the big story of the day?
Um, you mean the Packers win, I assume.
The world champion Green Bay Packers.
Well, I'm not trying to sidestep it.
I've if I were if I had been here yesterday, I would have talked about it.
I assumed, I mean, this is this is two days after the Super Bowl.
Oh, the big party is today at Lambeau.
Well, that's uh that's true.
What time is that?
3:30 or 4 o'clock is that 430 o'clock, I guess.
Central time.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, wisely scheduled for when this program is.
The schools are closed.
It's a big deal.
Yeah, well, I was there.
I was there, and and the uh I I'll I'll tell you, I saw a quote the coach Mike McCarthy the day before the game.
I love quotes like this.
Coach Mike McCarthy said, Look, we respect the Steelers.
Uh we respect the way they play football, but this is our time.
And then I read that Coach McCarthy, I'm not sure when this happened.
I've seen conflicting reports, but Coach McCarthy, either the the night before the game or sometime in the week leading up to it, had his team fitted for Super Bowl rings.
Oh, yes, yes, that's true.
I remember some years ago, the Steelers and the Patriots were playing in the AFC championship game, and the Patriots got wind of the news that the Steelers were before the championship game was over, the Steelers were already making plans to go to the Super Bowl family hotel reservations and flights, and that motivated the pay.
Oh, yeah, you think you're gonna be there and they and they went out and shellacked him.
Yeah.
Uh so that kind of motivation would go either way if the Steelers had found out about it.
But I thought it was a brilliant motivational play.
Because they're gonna get rings anyway.
They're gonna get, if even if they lose the Super Bowl, the Packers are going to get NFC championship rings for which they have to be fitted.
So why not fit them for the ring for the big prize couple with everything else he was doing?
Yep.
How's that?
Great.
All right.
You own Wisconsin Rush.
Thank you very much.
I got nothing against the Packers.
I want everybody to understand.
got nothing whatsoever against the Steelers on my team, but nothing against the Packers.
The uh I mean the Packers, you people forget this.
The only National Football League team to ever have a rush room was the Green Bay Packers.
It was led by offensive tackle Ken Moran and the offensive, well, maybe he's a guard.
Right guard Ken Moran on the other side, the offensive tackle Ken Rutgers.
And these guys turned this program on was Brett Favre's first or second year.
And this guy's turned on this program each and every day at once time and listened to it.
And Rutgers sent me a picture of all the members of the Packers Rush Room Club in their jerseys wearing rush ties.
He sent me, no, if you send me some neckties, I'll put these on the guys who take a picture.
So I've got this picture of Rutgers, Rich Moran, and it was Moran who supplied the radio for the Packers Rush Room.
And the only guy, the only one Democrat in the group, at least professed Democrat, his name is the Matt LeBounty.
He was the linebacker, and he turned his back to the camera when the picture was there.
But he had Shimora, uh, I mean, that that whole Great Packers team.
I had literally, I have all the respect in the world for the Packers organization and the people there.
That's why I thought it was a great, great, great uh Super Bowl matchup.
But I figured it's Tuesday.
You people have had this game sliced and diced and dissected, and why who won won and why.
Uh so I I figured there's this Super Bowl's over.
We move on.
But there are apparently some people here who can't get enough.
On the uh on the winning side.
I have to take a break here before we continue, though.
And remember, Donald Rumsfeld at the top of the next hour talk about his new book.
We'll have him for um a half hour.
Those of you who are on hold, stay there.
You know, put the phone down, go do something.
But you're on hold because we want to talk to you.
See, if you have the time, and we know you do, uh, we'll get to you after the Rumsfeld interview and before the program ends today.
I I'm shocked.
I uh I sent Stein yesterday a whole bunch of things to convey about Super Bowl, and I'm told he never got to it.
I thought he would have covered it all by now.
Well, that changes things just a little.
So maybe we will have a bit of a review of the uh Super Bowl.
Also, uh, as I say, Donald Rumsfeld in about six or seven minutes, and we get to the next hour, and tonight is episode five of the Haney Project.
And tonight is at Baker's Bay in the Bahamas.
And this episode is where it, in fact, Hank Haney says, if the episode ended today, if the series ended today, it would be a huge success.
