Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hiya, folks, it is Friday.
I mean, it's Open Line Friday where you can disagree with the autocratic, benevolent dictator host.
And we won't even fire on you from EIB1.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
If you see where James Carville is one of the new spokesmen for Miracle Whip, you never know what you're going to get when you start dragging $100 bills through the bayous.
How are you, folks?
It is Open Line Friday, and I am your benevolent dictator host, the Autocrat Rush Limbaugh.
On Friday, we sort of alter the rules for callers.
You don't have to talk about anything I even care about, much less agree with.
I fake it.
Monday through Thursday, you have to talk about things that I agree with.
This is a golden opportunity for you to say things that you think need to be said, which haven't been said, or to ask a question, make comment, what have you.
Here's the phone number, 800-282-2882, email address, lrushbaugh at eibnet.com.
You know, the state-controlled media must really be worried that the Democrats would be blamed in a government shutdown.
The government shutdown, federal government shutdown.
Everybody, Republicans ought to have no worries about this at all, even if they factor in 1995.
Brian York has a great piece today, The Washington Examiner.
Okay, the budget shutdown 1995, Republicans took the hit, right?
Well, they won election in 1996.
They got welfare reform in Clinton's second term.
They continue to win elections.
They didn't lose anything because of the budget shutdown.
They just lost in the media, which, of course, they don't like.
They don't like being ripped to shreds.
But now we've got another government shutdown looming, and the state-controlled media has a story here to make sure everybody knows the government would not shut down.
That it's not really that big a deal, which tells me that they know that it would be the Democrats who'd take the hit.
Social Security checks would still go out.
The troops would remain at their posts.
Furloughed federal workers probably would get paid, though not until later.
And virtually every essential government agency like the FBI, the Border Patrol, the Coast Guard would remain open.
That's the little known truth about a government shutdown.
The government doesn't shut down.
The sun comes up, the sun goes down, welfare checks are received, abortions take place.
What more could you want?
Now, if the Republicans were going to take the hit, if the AP state-controlled AP thought Republicans are going to take the hit on this, you wouldn't have this story about how there's no shutdown.
We get a story on all the essential services that would be grinding to a halt.
Yeah, the Republicans lost something like four seats in the next election after the shutdown in 1996.
It really, it wasn't that big a deal.
I got, ladies and gentlemen, a nice letter from the mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Tom Henry.
Dated February 18th.
It takes a while for snail mail to reach us here at the EIB Southern Command.
Dear Rush Limbaugh, the people of Fort Wayne are still chuckling about your send-up of our community, our former mayor, Harry Balls, and our search for a name for our new local government center.
We love the joke.
We appreciated the attention, and we're having great fun sharing it with the world thanks to your creative genius.
Still, we felt that you overlooked a whole lot that's wonderful about Fort Wayne, Indiana.
That's why we're sending along some information about our fabulous city and all the exceptional attractions and amenities that make Fort Worth one or Fort Wayne one amazing place to live and work and play.
So you can experience it all firsthand.
We'd like to invite you to come visit Fort Wayne and enjoy our hospitality at any time.
Just say when.
And we're enclosing a little something so you'll remember us.
We think this t-shirt says it all.
And I got the t-shirt over here.
And the t-shirt has on the front printed on it, it says, you already know Fort Wayne has balls.
Come see our other assets.
Sincerely yours, Tom Henry, mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
What a great letter.
It's a great t-shirt.
I will snap a picture of it and send it up to Coco at the, well, Coco Jr., Coco's out today, sick.
Coco Jr. will post it up there at rushlimbaugh.com.
I have, Mayor Henry, I have been to Fort Wayne.
When was this?
It was back in the, let me see, whatever it is, sometime in the mid to late 90s.
I went to Fort Wayne with Fuzzy Zeller.
There was a charitable Pro-Am golf tournament there at a great, I can't remember the name of the place.
It was a great, great golf club.
And it was a great bunch of people that came out.
We went and had dinner at some place the night before that was, I just had a great time.
I was there for a couple days.
Well, one night, parts of one night and the next day to play golf in Fort Wayne.
I wish I could remember the name of the club, but I can't.
But I want to thank Mayor Henry for the t-shirt.
You already know Fort Wayne has balls.
Come see our other assets.
Might take him up on it.
You never know it.
Eric, sorry, Elliot Spitzer doesn't like having a co-host.
New York Post has this story.
Elliot Spitzer set to steamroll Parker.
So Spitzer wants to get rid of the Dits, essentially.
Elliot Spitzer telling friends at CNN his co-host Kathleen Parker will be gone within a week.
Relations between the ex-governor, who once called himself a bleeping steamroller, and his conservative co-host Et are at an all-time low.
A source said that Spitzer thinks that she, the DITS, is holding him back.
The ratings surged when she was out sick, and he, well, surged, CNN.
Let's be real here.
Regardless, we anchored alone.
The ratings did, they say, go up during the turmoil in Egypt.
So that's, I guess, not looking good for Kathleen Parker at CNN.
She's supportedly digging in, however.
This story out of Wisconsin from the AP, this is just hilarious.
The White House or Wisconsin House vote catches Democrats napping.
This is the most unbelievable story.
It's by Todd Richmond.
Republicans of the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights from most public workers, abruptly passing the measure early this morning before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Democrats who have fled the state, the Senate Democrats have fled the state.
The only news domestically in this country that has captured everybody's attention is in Wisconsin.
The Democrats know full well what's in store for them.
And somehow the AP says they were caught napping.
And it's the Republicans who pulled a dirty trick on them.
Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening.
This was after 60 hours of debate.
And the Democrats still had no clue.
And in this story, it says here, Republicans immediately marched out of the chamber in single file.
The Democrats rushed at them, pumping their fists and shouting shame and cowards.
This from a party whose state senators are hiding out in a Motel 6 somewhere in Illinois.
The Republicans cowards.
The Republicans walked past them without responding.
Democrats left the chamber stunned.
The protesters greeted them with a thundering chant of thank you.
Some Democrats teared up.
Others hugged.
What a terrible, terrible day for Wisconsin, said Representative John Richards, a Democrat in Milwaukee.
I mean, I'm incensed.
I am shocked.
Everybody else is chuckling with delight because this is ground zero for the future of America.
It really is.
It is ground zero here for the unions, the money laundering operation that state and federal public union employees are for the Democrat Party.
MacIver News Service out of Wisconsin, out of Milwaukee, get this, while Milwaukee public school board members publicly bemoan the impact of pending state funding cuts, the MacIver News Services learned that Milwaukee Public Service or public schools gave nearly $20,000 to the ACLU this school year.
Thanks to the ACLU, Milwaukee schools are teaching kids to make puppets and t-shirts to identify social issues.
I kid you not, the ACLU of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Public Theater applied for about $20,000 partnership money for the arts late last year to launch the Public Arts Student Alliance.
The funds go toward a program that promotes community engagement to confront civic apathy by identifying community social issues of concern, planning ways to address them through public art, and honing their skills in speaking, writing, and visual art, puppetry, and theater.
Meanwhile, two-thirds of the students in the eighth grade in Wisconsin schools can't even read at an acceptable level.
But the Milwaukee public schools give 20 grand to the ACLU, teaching kids to make puppets and t-shirts to identify social issues.
By the way, you remember that big, big report, economic growth, fourth quarter of last year, 3.2%?
Remember that?
What do we tell you?
We tell you, hang on.
Sit tight, be patient for the revised number.
It won't be that good.
And it wasn't.
The U.S. economy grew at a 2.8% annual rate in the fourth quarter, slower than previously calculated and less than forecast as state and local governments made deeper cuts in spending.
Once again, economic growth revised downward, not 3.2%, but rather 2.8% in the fourth quarter.
I'd like to hearken back to the New York Times business article last month trumpeting that great news about the economy closing out 2010.
That's what Obama was riding high on the move to the center and this comeback kid nonsense.
It was by Catherine Rampell.
With a little more money in their wallets and a little less fear in their hearts, American consumers helped pull the economy up by its bootstraps in the final month of last year.
No, Catherine, the economy was not pulled up by its bootstraps.
Phony information pulled the president up by his bootstraps.
Phony information amplified by you.
The New York Times story said the gross domestic product, a broad measure of the goods and services produced in the country, grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter, up from 2.6% in the previous period.
And this is according to the Commerce Department.
Well, the Commerce Department was either wrong or they lied because the growth was a pathetic 2.8%.
Because of this slightly speedier expansion, the nation's overall economic output has finally matched its peak before the recession.
Still, given the millions of jobless American workers, the economy has fallen far short of what it could be if it were healthy, economists said.
No, it did not match its peak before the recession.
It's the bottom line.
The whole story was a fib.
The whole story in the New York Times about this 3.2% growth rate, see, they don't expect us to do that.
They don't expect us to go back and review what they wrote about this stuff.
They expect this revised number down to 2.8% and essentially to be ignored.
Things are better, but they're not anywhere near where they need to be to make a major inroad into unemployment, said John Riding, chief economist at RDQ Economics.
They're not better, John.
Thanks to modestly higher paychecks and swelled investment portfolios, Americans appeared more comfortable buying again and stashing away a little less in savings.
Nope.
Nice story to tell, but it wasn't reality.
President of the United States has engaged in oil price speculation.
This is unprecedented.
It's unheard of, and it isn't healthy.
And the money honey at CNBC was not happy about it.
All that and much more, plus your phone calls Open Line Friday coming up.
Don't go away.
Time for some Obama soundbites.
Back to November 3rd, 2007, Spartanburg, South Carolina.
This was at Converse College.
It was a campaign event.
That's what Obama said.
If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself.
I'll walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America because workers deserve to know that somebody's standing in their corner.
Anybody seen him in Wisconsin?
Has anybody seen him with any comfortable shoes on marching?
I haven't.
Then yesterday afternoon, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building during a meeting with the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
We actually think that we'll be able to ride out Libya's situation and statewise.
He's talking about the oil price.
We actually think that we'll be able to ride out the Libya situation and the price of oil will stabilize.
Based on what?
Presidents don't do this kind of thing.
What in the world is he talking about?
The money honey was not pleased.
Last night, CNBC's closing bill, Maria Barcharomo, and the chief Washington correspondent John Harwood had this exchange about Obama's remarks that oil prices would stabilize.
Would you say that that was an aggressive comment to come out and say, look, we're sure that we're going to see stability?
I mean, we all remember the days when oil rallied all the way up to $147 a barrel, and it wasn't necessarily any big increase in demand.
It was just market speculation.
So do you think the president should really be discussing where oil prices are going to go?
Well, that's a fair point, but I do think the paramount interest in the United States government right now is expressing a level of confidence in the economy and not disrupting the signs of recovery that have been accelerating lately and that the president and his team are depending on.
Thank you, Mr. Harwood.
Thank you, Mr. State Controlled Reporter.
What are you talking about?
A level of confidence in the economy and not disrupting the signs of recovery that have been accelerating.
We just had the downgrading of economic growth in the fourth quarter from 3.2% to 2.8%.
So you see here, it's all about how it can help Obama.
Paramount interest right now expressing a level of confidence, not disrupt the signs of recovery that have been accelerating lately.
The price of oil is going up.
The price of gasoline is going up.
Obama has no plan.
We are not doing any domestic drilling.
We have no plan whatsoever to counter any of this.
On the other side of the Obama issue foreign policy, Fareed Zakaria, not happy with the way Obama's dealing with Libya.
This was yesterday afternoon on CNN's newsroom.
The anchor Brooke Baldwin was speaking with Fareed Zakaria GPS host Fareed Zakaria, which would make sense that Fareed Zakaria GPS host is Fareed Zakaria.
And the anchor said, what should the U.S. be doing with regard to Libya?
The Libyan case mystifies me.
This is an anti-American regime, a rogue country, a sponsor of state terrorism.
He has butchered his own people and is now in the process of effectively a kind of massacre of his own people.
Why would it be so difficult to have a stronger position?
And I don't think there's much need for consultation.
What are you going to talk to Sarkozy O'Cameron about?
This country is immune to sanctions.
It has very little trade.
All President Obama needs to do is to get to the White House podium and call publicly for the end of the Gaddafi regime.
This assumes, Mr. Zakaria, that we have a traditional president in Barack Obama.
I mean, most people do think that the President of the United States would stand up for freedom-loving people everywhere around the world.
We're the beacon of hope for freedom.
And now, even some of his big supporters, where is he on this?
The excuse the White House putting out on this, by the way, is, well, Obama hadn't evacuated all the Americans out of there yet.
Until he gets all the Americans out of there, he's not going to agitate the Gaddafi regime.
Really?
Well, they're even botching getting Americans out of there, and you only get the news from the UK Daily Mail.
Team Obama botches the Libya evacuation.
They chartered the wrong boat to get Americans out of there.
It's in the UK media.
We'll have details when we come back.
A man, a legend, a way of life.
Once again, we have to go to the UK to get news like this.
The UK Daily Mail, Team Obama botches Libya evacuation, charters wrong boat.
Hundreds of Americans trapped aboard a rescue ship that was too small to sail in rough weather have finally left Libya this morning.
The 167 stranded U.S. citizens have been holed up on the Maria Dolores since Wednesday as rough weather has prevented the ship from leaving.
The Dolores left Tripoli 6.37 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, expected to reach its destination, Malta, at around 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Tony Munoz, the editor of shipping magazine the Maritime Executive, said, I don't understand why this vessel didn't leave earlier.
The Maria Dolores is a new vessel built for Mediterranean seas.
I can only imagine the captain was refusing to sail because he felt the vessel wasn't capable enough of taking the sea on.
Speaking to mail online, Mr. Munoz said that there were no comparison between the 68-meter Dolores and the 204-meter Hellenic Spirit used by the Greek government to evacuate its citizens from Libya.
The U.S. needed to charter a bigger boat like the Greeks, but they didn't.
The very least, the government should have had a larger backup vessel on the way, tens of thousands of foreigners trying to get out of Libya.
Anyway, this is why Obama is saying, or why, well, who is it, Sabin, the White House?
Somebody's saying he hasn't really gone full-blown on Qaddafi yet because he hasn't been able to get all of America, all American citizens out of there.
Go out and charter too small a boat.
And you won't find it anywhere in the U.S. media.
In the meantime, NBC News.
I was thinking today, I really miss Tim Russert.
And I really, really do miss Tim Russert.
Some nice, I don't know what, I don't remember what it was.
I was watching something on television.
It just popped into my head.
Anyway, NBC News has just discovered that Gaddafi is crazy.
On the Today Show today, a portion of the report from Richard Engel, NBC chief foreign correspondent.
His words were slurred.
He mumbled with long pauses.
I've listened to speeches in Arabic of Middle East leaders for 15 years.
This did not sound like a sane person to me.
Gaddafi is speaking now on state radio.
It's very difficult to follow.
He's all over the place.
He's already mentioned the Kurds in northern Iraq, the Unibomber, India, and says the people carrying out this revolt are taking drugs that make them insane.
In the address, Gaddafi claimed Al-Qaeda is behind the revolt.
Osama bin Laden is slipping Libyans' hallucinogenic pills in coffee with milk, and that the pills are distributed in mosques with help from the United States.
Sounds like you've been talking to Charlie Sheen.
So they've discovered that Gaddafi is crazy.
Eugene Robinson, who is a columnist at the Washington Post, was on MSNBC this morning talking about what's going on in Libya.
And listen to what Eugene Robinson had to say.
You know, heaven forbid, but he probably has chemical weapons.
He could do what Saddam did in the Kurdish regions and actually gas people.
Whoa.
Did you people hear that?
Eugene Robinson said that Saddam had chemical weapons.
Yes, Saddam was dangerous then, huh?
That's what he said.
Eugene Robinson wasn't through.
Eugene Robinson, columnist Washington Post, wanted to weigh in on what's going on in Wisconsin.
I'm not entirely sure that Scott Walker is going to come out of this as smelling as sweet as everybody else seems to think he is.
In the end, Scott Walker's managed to do something I didn't think could be done.
He's kind of made organized labor kind of cool, made young people pay attention to organized labor in a way that they hadn't in a while.
So as a kind of organizing tool, as a rallying cause, You know, this might not be the worst thing that could happen to the labor movement.
Ladies and gentlemen, is this really what's happened?
Does it sound to you, as you watch this situation, does it appear to you that organized labor is coming off as cool in Wisconsin?
And that Governor Scott Walker has made that the overriding notable thing from this whole process.
Really?
Organized labor is cool from Eugene Robinson?
Takes me into a story here that appears in the Los Angeles Times.
And this story is highly gratifying to me.
We have been talking about Wisconsin, what it means, also Ohio, Indiana, and the potential for Armageddon.
I mean, this is the potential Armageddon for organized labor, public sector unions as money laundering operations for the Democrat Party.
And I am always gratified when I see a seminal central point made on this program migrate into the state-controlled media.
It's a news analysis piece by Mark Barabek or Barabik, I don't know how he pronounces it, in the LA Times.
Union battle in the Midwest, a pull for political power.
Republican governors are going up against organized labor hitting at the heart of the Democrat Party, which depends heavily on union money and manpower.
He goes on to say that it's all on the line in Wisconsin.
Now, I'm not going to charge plagiarism here, even if there was plagiarism.
I am thrilled that this has moved into this particular element of the state-controlled media.
Let's give you some of the examples of what I'm talking about.
The labor fight blazing in Madison, Wisconsin, and other state capitals is more than a feud over budgets or the rights of government employees.
It is a battle that could fundamentally change the practice of politics in this country with enormous consequences in 2012 and beyond.
By striking at organized labor, a pugnacious group of Republican governors is hitting at the heart of the Democrat Party, which banks heavily on union money and manpower.
That explains the resistance from the White House, Democrats in Congress, and most fiercely, their liberal allies from New York to California.
This is all about pure political power, said Paul Maslin, a party strategist whose orifice is just a block from Wisconsin's capital.
If they break the unions here, it'll spread state by state, nationwide.
Also, fundamentally important here is that Wisconsin is a battleground state.
Already you can see stories percolating out there.
If Obama loses Wisconsin, he loses the presidency.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has proposed deep cuts and benefits for most state workers, saying their belt tightening is necessary to help close the budget deficit, $3.6 billion.
But Walker and newly elected Republicans gone further by seeking to strip state employees of most of their collective bargaining rights.
He also would make it harder for unions to organize state workers and collect dues, moves that could diminish labor's clout and deplete its coffers, ultimately hurting Democrats who lean on that support.
Right here it is.
This is in the L.A. Times, the truth of what's going on there, which you have heard all week on this program.
It's very simple.
Michael Fraoli, a Democrat strategist who works closely with organized labor says, very simple.
Wealthy individuals and corporations can still give six, seven, eight-figure checks to all the candidates, state parties, and causes they want to.
If you take away unions and their ability to organize, you cut at the heart of our financial support.
Well, Mr. Faoli, let's be serious about something.
Everybody wants to talk about the Koch brothers here.
The Koch brothers can give a maximum of $40 some odd thousand dollars.
Whatever they give is dwarfed by what these unions give, not just to the Democrat Party, but other Democrat Party candidates such as Obama.
You know, I really cannot overemphasize the fact that this is a strict money laundering operation.
Let me repeat the data that we had yesterday about the stimulus.
Might have been a couple days ago.
Wisconsin got $701 million in the stimulus.
It's a little under 10%.
And $600 million of that $700 million went to the unions, public sector unions.
The whole purpose of the stimulus bill was during a recession to make sure that public sector unions were not laid off by giving states money to keep them on the payroll.
And the reason for this was, as long as they work, they're paying union dues, and those union dues end up right at the coffers of the Democrat National Committee, Barack Obama, or what have you.
So it's simply a transfer of wealth.
Simply redistribution of wealth.
All the while, the regime telling everybody it's for shovel-ready projects, roads, bridges, schools, rebuild the infrastructure.
Why, we're going to create 3 to 4 million private sector jobs.
Unemployment will never go higher than 8%.
And in fact, easily 75 to 80% of the money, if not more, went to public sector union employees, all for the express purpose of making sure the recession did not affect them.
I mean, even after the stimulus, Obama came back during another crisis point for $26 billion additional dollars specifically for teachers.
This was under the guise of your children's teachers might be laid off in California and in other states, and we cannot allow your kids to suffer because it's all about the children.
So California, the Los Angeles School District, got some of the money, but they did not use it to hire new teachers.
They used it to fund the existing health care and pension plans of teachers currently on the payroll and to see to it that some of that $26 billion ended up back with the Democrat Party.
It's a money laundering operation.
And here the L.A. Times story, this news analysis gets it right.
What's at stake for the Democrats?
Essentially, folks, it's your money taken from you via taxes, income taxes in your state.
That money is being used to pay public employees salaries and benefits on average twice what you make.
The union dues from those salaries are automatically deducted in some cases by the state, in other cases by the federal government, other cases by the union.
But regardless, the money ends up back at the Democrat Party.
In other words, people are coerced.
You are giving money to the Democrat Party via your taxes, via public employees.
You don't even know it, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
And that's why everybody now realizes what this is really all about.
Is for Democrats and Unions Armageddon.
The bottom line here essentially is that what we need to do is take the public sector union's ATM card away from the taxpayers' ATM machine.
The taxpayer's ATM machine is empty.
But the public sector union's ATM cards continue to be used.
Brief time out.
Much more straight ahead here on the EIB network Open Line Friday.
We'll grab some of your calls next when we get back.
We asked a question at the top of the hour based on a soundbite from Obama 2007.
He pledged to walk with anybody trying to break the unions.
Okay, why is he not in Wisconsin?
He's come out in favor of the unions.
Why didn't he go there?
Why hasn't he walked the union picket lines in Wisconsin as he promised?
And it's not, folks, it's not separation of powers.
It's not a president inserting himself.
You know, he doesn't care about that.
It is, as I just said, Wisconsin's a swing state.
It's an important state, it's a battleground state.
And if Obama loses Wisconsin, its re-election chances dim considerably.
So Obama not being there.
Don't doubt me on this.
Obama not being in Wisconsin and not really weighing in on it a whole lot anymore proves that what the governor Scott Walker is doing is wildly popular with voters in Wisconsin right now.
If the polls showed that the voters in Wisconsin were against Walker, Obama would be there with bells on.
So would the Reverend Jackson talking about leaves and ruts and joy and all the rest.
And the Reverend Sharpton would be there too.
And Michelle My Bell Obama would be barbecuing short ribs.
None of that's happening.
Where do we go in the Walnut Port, Pennsylvania, as we start on the phones on Open Line Friday with Thomas?
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thanks much.
Hey, listen, I'll tell you what.
It's been a long time I've been trying to get through to you.
And let me tell you, I used to be a union organizer at one time, and I'm a third-generation union guy.
And that was my past life.
And now I am a hard-working guy.
I believe in hard work, and I believe in reaping the benefits of what hard work is.
And you always have believed that, right?
Well, in a way, I did.
But the problem is when you're raised in a union family.
Oh, I forgot.
Oh, yeah.
Hard work's not.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, when you're raised in a union family, you're told other things.
You're told that you can't succeed.
You're told that you're going to be fired.
You could be fired at any minute.
You told me to hate the boss.
Yeah, people aren't going to treat you fairly.
People aren't going to treat you nice.
All kinds of things are going to happen to you.
And I actually was involved in organizing the first labor union in South Carolina.
And what happened was that worked out, and it was successful.
And then I realized if I can be successful at that, maybe I can be successful at other things.
Interesting.
And I can be successful at things that might benefit society.
And, you know, we have people right now in Wisconsin that are involved in Organizing and be successful at it.
My goodness, if they would take that effort and put it out and be successful at being productive, what would our society become?
Amen, bro.
Amen.
Okay?
Amen.
So I came to that same conclusion.
What is a major effort for myself?
What is a major transformation for a union organizer like you?
I mean, you're not just rank and found, you were an organizer.
Well, I'll tell you the reason why I did that.
Why?
Because I ended up going from a $20 an hour job back in the 80s to a $10 an hour job.
And suddenly I became confused.
And I started, I began, I reached out and I started to try to understand.
And then you heard this program.
That's the answer.
I knew it was coming.
Thanks very much.
Quick time.
I'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Okay, first hours in the camp, folks, but there are two more to go.
