Time Text
And the way, folks, before we get back to this uh this scam that Obama's running on his joint speech, I want to point something out to you.
Poor little Vermont.
Poor Little Vermont is getting really hammered by the worst of the flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
You know what I want to know?
You know there aren't very many black people that live in Vermont.
I want to know if Obama steered the storm there to punish the white people in Vermont.
I know they're all Democrats there, and I know they're all socialists and liberals, but I remember how Bush steered Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans to get all the black people out of there.
And I'm just wondering if this isn't Obama payback.
I remember, I remember hearing in the mainstream media how Bush steered Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans.
And I just think it's uh only fair to ask if Obama steered Hurricane Irene and the aftermath of the flooding to the state of Vermont.
Well, it's a legitimate question.
I just remember hearing the mainstream media saying that about Bush.
Don't you?
So once it's been established and presidents steer hurricanes, we didn't know they had that power till we were told Bush did it.
So obviously there is somewhere in the White House you can steer a hurricane.
And little old Vermont, then no black and no black people there.
Greetings and welcome back, folks.
Um Rushlin bought it.
I tell you, it's more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
We're here at 800-282-2882 and the email address Lrushmore at EIBNet.com.
Well, what started off as you know a very quiet uh really nothing extraordinary about it program other than the black caucus guy saying that Republican Tea Party is want to lynch blacks.
I mean, other than that, it was kind of a low-key day.
And now this rank amateur Obama has just announced his jobs plan.
A speech.
Another speech.
That's his jobs plan.
And I'm gonna guarantee you something, folks.
Whenever he gives this speech, it's not going to be about jobs.
It's going to be about government getting bigger.
It's going to be about government spending.
It's not going to have a thing to do with jobs.
It's a spending plan, it's a taxing plan, it's a print money plan, it's a borrowing plan.
What I want to know is how does Obama justify a joint session in the first place for this?
Now, if you're just joining us, you're a welfare recipient, you're just getting out of bed, you don't know that the Republicans scheduled another debate for September the 7th at the Reagan Libraries.
It so happens to be the first Republican debate that Rick Perry will be part of.
So this morning, the White House announced shortly after the show began, shortly after 12 noon today, the White House announced that they want a joint session of Congress for Obama to announce his big job savings plan or creating plan on the same night.
And at practically the same time, 8 p.m.
Now you may not know this, but John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, can reject this request.
Just because a president asks for this, he is not automatically granted it.
And Boehner should say, Mr. President, I'm not going to assist you in your political games.
You didn't consult me before you publicly issued this date.
You are obviously trying to disrupt the plans at the Reagan Library.
You're going to have to learn if you really want to work together as you keep claiming, Mr. President.
Then it's going to be up to us to show you how it's done.
And if you want a joint session, hear the date, September 6th, September 8th, September 9th, September 10th, or even if you want to come up here on September 11th.
And talk about volunteerism.
And by the way, if I were Boehner, you know what I would also say?
I'd say you can have a joint session when your party and you present a budget to us.
We've gone over 800 some odd days without a budget from your party.
Otherwise, no joint session.
This really is amateur politics.
This is not something that a uh uh genuine president of the United States would do.
This is this is really uh amateur.
And uh snerdly, you know, trying to stir it up in the last hour, so well, you you think that uh you know what the media is going to say.
The media is gonna say would Boehner turn Obama down if he weren't black.
Would he turn Clinton down?
We turn Bush down.
Well, he would never have to turn down Bush or Clinton because they got enough class not to do something like this.
If I may be so blunt.
This is intended to disrupt the Republican debate.
It's intended to make Obama look bigger than the Republicans, to look bigger than politics.
And this is part of the presidential election campaign, and the House Republicans are gonna have to realize they are part of it.
And this guy, this president, is I know what's gonna happen.
Somebody's gonna tell Boehner, and it's gonna be a Republican.
It's gonna be a member of the Republican pundit class.
Somebody in the intelligencia, some people smarter than we are, some somebody is gonna write a piece or post a blog and say, Mr. Boehner, Mr. Boehner, you are going to send the independence running right back to Obama if you don't demand, if you don't grant him this speech.
Because all the American people care about right now is jobs.
They don't care about the Reagan library, they don't care about the Republican presidential debate.
All they care about is jobs.
And if you tell the president that he can't come up on the day if he wants, you're just gonna send independents running back.
That's what they're gonna say to him.
That's how they're gonna try to intimidate Boehner by claiming the independents will hate this and that the independents will abandon the uh Republican Party.
So it's easy for me.
I'm not an elected official, I'm not the Speaker of the House, and it's easy for me to sit here and tell you what I would do.
No fallout will happen to me, but I still would do it.
I I because I this is not gonna be a jobs plan.
And ABC News.
This is why, by the way.
Tens of millions of Americans cannot stand the media in this country.
ABC News is reporting that Obama wants to address a joint session that the House Speaker has not responded yet.
That's what they said.
Not a single word about Obama asking for the same day and time as a Republican debate at the Reagan Library.
No, no, no.
Their news story, the ABC news story is that Boehner hasn't responded yet.
So what Obama's doing here is demonstrating what he does not have.
Class.
I'm sure over at the White House they're laughing about this.
I'm sure they think this is all funny.
I think they think it's great they got the Republicans all tied up in knots here.
And I'll bet you he and his advisors are laughing and having the biggest time behind the scenes.
And so are their supporters.
So are the kook fringe on the blog, so are all the Democrats, Pelosi, you name it, Harry Reid.
They're all having a grandest time.
But there isn't anything presidential about this.
Here, Jay Carney at the White House this afternoon during a QA, a reporterette said the timing of this speech, uh, Mr. Carney, there's uh there's a Republican debate that night in California.
Did the White House specifically choose that date and time?
No, of course not.
There are a lot of considerations that once you decide you want to do a speech to Congress and you have to deal with congressional schedules.
There are many other factors here, and obviously one debate of many that's on one channel of many uh uh was not enough reason not to have the speech at the time that uh uh that we decided to have it.
Yeah.
That big factor here.
One debate, one channel, versus our job speech?
No.
What do you mean coincidence?
Pure coincidence.
Strategy behind us whatsoever.
What network is carrying that debate?
I need to find out what network is carrying the next Republican debate.
Fox had the last one.
I want to find out what network Obama wants to screw here is essentially what I want to find.
NBC.
NBC has the has the debate.
They won't mind.
They won't mind because Obama's sending them boatloads of money over there at GE and so forth.
Yeah, they're down for the struggles.
No big deal.
That's fine with them, I'm sure.
I keep wanting to go to the phones and they keep breaking news on me out there.
Here's Jay Carney at the White House.
He's getting grilled.
Carney is getting grilled from the press corps on the fact that Obama has chosen the same date as a Republican debate at the Reagan Library for his jobs speech request a joint session of Congress.
So a reporter said, look, I'm wondering if you're if you're all concerned by him delivering the speech at the same time at the debate, that he's somehow depriving Americans out of the community to get an educated opinion of these candidates.
Whatever the competing opportunities on television are, whether it's the you know the wildlife channel or the cooking channel or political, but I would be I I wish that I could say that just that I would it were so that I could be sure simply by having the president of the United States speak at a certain hour that every American who's watching TV would be watching him.
I wish that were the case.
If uh the sponsors so chose and the candidates so chose to adjust the timing of their debate so that it didn't conflict, that would be completely fine with us in the spirit of democracy and and that.
Yeah, it'd be fine with the arrogance here, and of course, there's the press.
You heard the press laughing with the president's press secretary on his comparison of Republicans to the Wildlife Channel.
You compare the Republicans of Wildlife, oh well, yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah.
And then they go on to talk about the Republicans ought to move their debate.
So uh Obama has decided that a Republican debate doesn't merit the same attention as his speech.
Isn't that his way?
So, Mr. Kearney, why couldn't the president give his great speech on Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.
What's so magical about the seventh?
Tell us uh we can't do it on the eighth because that's the NFL opener.
Green Bay New Orleans on NBC.
Tell us uh tell us why.
He can't just speak in front of the media, any time of the day and night.
Doesn't need a joint session of Congress here to announce the jobs plan.
Mr. Kearney, tell us uh tell us why Martha's Vineyard was uh good enough reason to delay Obama's great plan and speech.
Remember Obama went on vacation and he said, I'm gonna have my big jobs plan when I get back from vacation.
So it really wasn't urgent.
The vacation took precedence over the jobs speech for the second consecutive year.
Obama said the same thing last year.
I'm gonna have a jobs proposal when I get back from Martha's Vineyard in my vacation.
He said that last year, he said that this year.
So his vacation takes more precedence or takes precedence over his jobs speech.
Then of course they say that Obama is looking out for the nation, that politics can wait.
The Republican debate is just politics.
But Obama, he's looking out for the nation.
Well, this is all about politics.
It's all about Obama's massive ego.
An ego that's obviously Out of control.
He's got let's see he's got time for what?
80 rounds of golf.
But now the only day.
The only day and time he can speak to the nation is the exact day and time of the Reagan Library Republican debate.
Jay Carney.
I know he's I don't know if the press briefing's still going on or not, and I know he's not listening, but I still have a question.
Jay, what what do you earn?
What's your integrity worth?
How much are you paid to lie?
The American people.
Because that's the price of your integrity.
Because you're just sitting there lying to the American people about all this.
On behalf, which is what Democrat press secretaries do.
Maybe Obama has fundraisers scheduled the other nights, and that's why.
Maybe that's the only night open.
Because they got fundraisers.
But he could announce the jobs plan and a fundraiser.
The media's gonna be wherever Obama goes.
Okay, let's go to the phones.
Because frankly, folks, I need a break.
And it's about time you people carry this show for at least a little while.
So where are we starting?
Milwaukee.
Hey, Jerry, I I'm glad you waited.
You're up first.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Russ.
Um, I agree with you on the point that what the Congressman from Indianapolis said was horrendous, deplorable.
Tea party members want to lynch flags.
I mean, that that was over the top, and and um I deplore that.
And I progressive.
I'm glad you do.
You officially deplore what uh what Andre Carson said.
It it's it's horrible.
It's one of the worst things I've ever heard of Democrats.
Jerry in Milwaukee, folks.
I just want you to know Jerry Milwaukee officially deplores what Andre Carson said about the Tea Party wanting to lynch blacks.
Okay, good for you, Jared.
Good for you.
Okay.
This is my disagreement with you.
Now, true it was Democrats that supported things like segregation lynching, but I think that's kind of simplistic because you they're not the ideology.
Those Southern Democrats were progressives, they weren't liberals.
What they were to be holding to is a special brand of Christian, you know, fundamentalism religion, which opposed equality and equal rights for groups throughout our nation's history.
They oppose women's rights, they oppose gay rights now, and they oppose rights for blacks then.
Jerry, I don't care what they were, they were Democrats, and they were lynching blacks.
They were a party changed.
Look at historically it was a Democrat Party to engage in all this discrimination back then.
It wasn't the Republicans.
You want to try to say that the Democrats of that day are now the Republicans of this day?
I'm saying that to the idiot of the party change.
You know, when Jay Carney gets canned, you need to apply for the job at the White House.
Jay Rush, the ideologies of the party change.
The Republican Party is the Christian fundamentalist party.
They don't support segregation today, but they support a view of limited rights, especially for gays and then and then Christian fundamentalists at that time.
Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait, are you are you s I mean fundamentalists?
No, I want to make sure I understand.
Are you saying that Christians are opposed to equality?
Christian fundamentalism, a very right-wing brand of Christianity, not all Christianity.
Are opposed to equality.
Yes.
That's the thing that is opposed to right of women, blacks, and today, gay, it's it's Christian fundamentalism.
They are not opposed to the rights of women, and they're not opposed to the rights of gays.
You are you are taking what was a truth that is embarrassing to you as a Democrat, and you're trying now to transfer it to the modern era.
Well, you can't get away with it.
That's you're you're just you're just absolutely wrong.
Christians ended the slavery in the UK and in the US and around the world.
The Christian church has done more to advance equality than any other force in the history of the world, Jerry.
And you want to try to say that Christians are the big discriminators today.
I can't h I I can't help how it makes you feel.
The Democrats lynched blacks.
In the old South.
It was the Democrats that were opposed to civil rights.
It was Al Gore's dad.
It was J. William Fulbright.
It was any number of them, Human Talmadge.
Ernest Hollings.
Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Bull Connor.
Now you want to try to tell me they are the Republicans of the day.
You call and tell me when they switch parties.
After you'll look it up.
Mary and Baltimore, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
I first heard you in 1988 when I was sailing down the coast to California, and I was so happy that there was a voice for us.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
What I wanted to say was that they uh ran to the telephone today because the Obama regime is a criminal enterprise, equal to the mafia or Al Capone.
They're just operating and they're flaunting the law.
They're flouting the law, whatever.
They this ATT thing.
Yep.
It's just it's just pushing their power around the city.
It's ATT, it's the new Black Panther Party case.
It's wanting to give Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his cronies a multi-based.
It rained on the Gibson Guitar Company yesterday or this week, whatever it was.
It's just a warning to all companies.
Do you think that is interesting because uh the the there's a the guy that runs Gibson as a Republican donor, he gets raided for using wood that's somehow rare and protected.
A Democrat owner of a guitar company making the same kind of wood donates to Obama doesn't get raided.
And people are asking, is it there's a post that I forget National Review Online or something?
Is it really?
Is it is as simple as that that this regime will target opponents who don't Yeah, it is that simple.
Gibson's also non-union.
So I can understand.
If you want to call this a bunch of thugocracy, I can understand where you're coming from.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh.
America's real anchor man, a truth detective, a doctor of democracy, a man, a legend, a way of life.
You know what's funny about all this?
You know, this this choosing the same date as the Republicans.
On one hand, I have to marvel at it.
I mean, it's it's it's a kind of practical joke I would play.
It's uh it's a high school prank.
It's the kind of thing that you and your buddies conceive of, and you sit there and you laugh at, but it's not it's not a presidential.
There's no other president that we would do this.
But it's a great prank.
And I know that Obama and his advisors are j you they're probably popping some corks.
I mean, I am sure that they think they have just he had a grand slam home run there in the White House right now laughing about this.
They probably got this show on.
Listen to Limbaugh get all exercised about that.
It's this great man, whoever came up with this idea, give them a raise.
But it's not.
It's not classy.
It's not a, it's not, this is this is not at all commensurate with the with the office.
See, folks, I gotta take a swig of water here.
Hang on a second.
And I didn't make the noise because I have no manners.
I did it.
You would know I was doing it.
Just uh dead air.
People panic over it.
The fact of the matter is that there's nothing that Obama can do to create jobs.
Nothing.
There are no not creating jobs.
In fact, I've got the plan here.
The National Journals publish a plan.
The only thing Obama can do is to stop doing things that are destroying job creation.
If he were really going to announce a jobs bill, you know what he would tell us?
Things he's going to stop.
Regulations he's going to roll back.
Agenda items that he is going to cease.
There's nothing he Can do to grow the private sector.
He doesn't know the first thing about it anyway.
Now, according to the National Journal, these are probably going to be included in the job speech.
And they probably know.
I'm sure this is where F. Chuck Todd used to work.
So I'm sure they got a pipeline in there.
Create an infrastructure bank.
Renew payroll tax cuts.
Implement a new higher tax credit of about $2,500, which is not going to appeal to any small businessman with a brain.
Extend unemployment benefits.
Create a tax credit for hiring returning veterans, ratifying pending trade deals, reforming the patent process, provide aid for teachers, improve rural internet connections, provide job training for the long-term unemployed.
fund renovations of schools.
I guess that would occur at the infrastructure bank.
Provide incentives for private sector engagement.
I don't know what that means.
Boosting energy related jobs, funding cash for caucus.
This is what the National Journal says is the jobs program.
Not only is it not a jobs program, it's a pretty pathetic campaign platform.
Because nothing's new.
There's not a damn thing in that list from the National Journal that's new.
Which is exactly what I predicted would have.
I hate to do this.
I hate to say I told you this.
I hate to, but this is just going to be doubling or tripling down on the stimulus.
A laundry list of items the Republicans will reject.
And that'll be that that will form the basis of the campaign.
Powell, Wyoming.
Mike, thank you for calling, sir.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hey, black and gold dittoes, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
Uh, just wondered what George Stephanopoulos' sudden love of Mitt Romney last night on his program, portrayed Perry as evil, and he loves Mitt Romney now.
And you were saying with Rick Perry's first, you know, being on the panel for the debates.
I just wonder, you know, is this all coordinated?
Or are they laughing?
Or is it true coordination?
Are they really going to try and prop up Romney just because Rick Perry is scaring them so bad?
Or I just wanted to get your feelings on that.
They're scared of Perry.
They are scared to death of Perry.
They are petrified of Perry.
They'll always tell us who they fear.
They're not worried about Romney.
They think they can beat Romney.
They uh they also think that they can scare Romney into uh being a little bit more compliant and less combative with Obama.
I don't think they think that about Perry.
I I I think they are um very much concerned about Perry, just as they are very much concerned about Sarah Palin.
That's what they're telling us here.
So your buddy Stefanopoulos transparent as he can be, if he's sidling up to uh to Romney right now.
Well, I mean, you your interpretation that's right on the money.
You know exactly what that's about.
The images, the guns, and uh move to California if you support gay marriage and all the other things that you know Georgie put on last night was just amazing how how much he loves Nitt now and Well, they got the same hair, you know, Romney and Perry have going who's really gonna scare them.
Um I think so.
I think so.
I I I I haven't I haven't, since you say you're you're watching Georgie, I haven't watched a network nightly newscast, and I can't tell it's been years since I actually saw one.
So I have to listen to your report to find out what happened.
I didn't know.
I am I'm I'm not afraid to admit this.
I did not know that uh Stephanopoulos all of a sudden fell in love with Mitt Romney.
Well, It doesn't surprise me.
Makes total sense.
It's uh it's totally understandable, given who they're really afraid of out there.
John in Indianapolis.
Hello, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Thanks, Russia.
Hey, uh, real quick.
I think uh Jerry from Milwaukee was taught by a union teacher.
Um, earlier you were speaking about uh Pelosi and uh Carson.
Quick factoid.
Uh you remember the healthcare debate in its passage, of course, and you also remember Nancy Pelosi and her ginarmous gabble walking through the crowd of Tea Party.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, guess who was one of the clowns hanging on her arm as escorting her through that crowd?
Well, let me see.
There was John Lewis.
And Andre Carson.
And of course, you uh remember the ensuing racial debate that followed that.
Yeah, yeah.
This is somebody supposedly the Tea Party supposedly spitting and shouting the N-word and stuff, and yet nobody can find it on video.
I had forgotten that that was Andre Carson on the other side of Pelosi with John Lewis.
So this is nothing new for Mr. Carson.
And on top of that, what is he going to say to Alan West next time he sees him?
Well, Alan West is quitting the CBC.
Well, okay.
Okay, well, then how about Herman Cain?
I don't think you'd ever run into Herman Cain.
What would Andre Carson run into Herman Cain?
I I really uh I did see it.
I didn't print it out somewhere here.
I've got it on my stack here that uh that Alan West is is gonna resign the Congressional Black Caucus.
I remember he said when he was first elected to Congress he's gonna join this the Congressional Black Caucus.
Hey, it's uh congressional blacks.
I'm a congressional black.
I'll go in there, I'll go to the meetings, and I'll see what I can do.
Apparently he has realized that there's not much he can do.
But the question has to be asked again.
He's he's uh he's he's thinking about leaving, I guess it's not definite.
He's thinking about leaving the Congressional Black Caucus.
But I got to ask the question again.
Maxine Waters, Andre Carter, uh what's Adolphus Towns, all these guys, I don't care, pick one.
They have been in office for how Barbara Lee, they're entrenched.
They had been in office for how many terms.
And yet, their constituents, their districts, are experiencing some of the toughest economic times in the country, from unemployment to just general economic malaise.
How can that be with all the power these people have, all the access to Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus has, how in the world can this be?
Maxine Water's been there forever.
And so has Jim Kleiburn.
Eddie Bernese Johnson, uh, uh not Barbara Lee, and then it's Celine Jackson Lee.
And uh and the Meek family.
I mean, they're all over the place there.
I and yet every one of their districts.
There is real economic suffering going on.
How can that be?
If you're just joining us, if you're a welfare recipient, just waking up, Andre Carson is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus from Indiana.
And uh we uncovered tape from ten days ago in Miami.
He said that the Tea Party, if they could have their druthers would be lynching blacks, they'd be hanging them from trees.
That's what the caller was calling about.
Now they went to Andre Carson's office.
Did you really mean to say that?
And they said, yep, we stand by it.
You look at all the nutrition cuts and the food cuts that this Tea Party people have engineered.
Yep, and there of course have not been any nutrition cuts or food cuts of it.
They have any cuts, period.
Anyway, quick timeout.
You sit tight.
We'll be right back.
I don't know, folks.
I mean, I uh you look at the news today and and it runs the gamut of emotions.
Get this Standard and Poor's the debt rating crowd.
Standard and Poors has rated subprime mortgages higher than U.S. debt.
Standard and poor is giving a higher rating to securities backed by subprime home loans than it assigns the U.S. government.
You know what?
I'd tell you what this does.
This sounds like some sort of payback going on.
This sounds like a war going on between Standard and Poor's and Obama.
Standard and Poor's is not backing down.
They came out and they downgraded our rating, and then the regime comes out with their assaults on Standard and Poor's and Standard Poor's come, oh, yeah.
Okay, well let me tell you something.
Subprime mortgages are a better bet than you, Obama.
That's guarantee them to you, whoever is not they've I think they got rid of the uh CEO at the SP.
So whoever's not running it, you guys better look out the SEIU or some of Trump's gang, some of these union guys are gonna be showing up on your front yard.
They've just said Standard Poor's just come out and said that subprime mortgages are a better bet than Obama.
And the SP president was forced out while I was uh well, I was away last week.
I knew it happened.
John Conyers, Congressional Black Caucus, Detroit.
John Conyers, a lot of power.
And John Conyers, by the way, here's a guy who is chairman of a House committee.
What judiciary?
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee during the debate and the vote on Obamacare, who said there's no way I'm gonna read the bill.
We hire lawyers to tell us what it says.
I can't understand it.
Who's next?
Dave in West Covina, California.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Terra Ditto's Rush.
Um Yeah, Jer that last caller, Jerry said that the Democrats' views changed over time, and I think their tactics just changed.
They realized that it was easier to pull m blacks and minorities down with promises of welfare and food stamps than it was to push them down with things like I think you are exactly right.
I uh it's been easier to keep them on the plantation with a bunch of welfare and and getting and breaking up their families that than it than it was to use violence.
I don't think there's any I I think you're exactly I think the Democrat Party simply matured and changed tactics.
Look how they treat them as soon as they wander off the plantation.
Exactly right.
They start lynching them.
Well, in a uh you know in an economic sense, yeah.
Political sense, yeah.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah, but he's not talking about that.
He's talking about what Democrats do to Wayward Democrats that go off the reservation.
They don't really lynch them.
I don't want to get lost on this lynch business because Scarborough already has taken something way out of context that I said a year ago.
Uh and it I don't know if it's memories failing him or if he did it on purpose.
I'll play you the video in the next hour to tell you what I mean.
Show you what I mean.
But when we talk about modern day lynching here, we're talking about political or high tech or something.
But but Dave's point here is that the Democrats have figured out a way that is totally nonviolent.
All of these welfare programs, all the war on this and the war on that.
Keeping people dependent, dumbing down their schools.
Ike's right on the button with that.
Jim in uh St. Augustine, Florida.
Hello, sir.
You're next.
Uh hi, Rush, mega small business ditto's from Florida.
Thank you, sir.
Um, I think you're right on the money that uh Obama scheduling his job speech at the same time of the date proves that he'd be a great high school president.
Yeah.
Um, but my take on it was a little different.
I think we should fight fire with fire and um get as many people as we can to watch the debate.
And then when the debate ratings outdo the job speech, uh, see how they swept in.
Oh, well, look, I'm not gonna get the first the first nail in the uh in the plank towards getting rid of Obama and 2012.
Look, don't don't don't misunderstand me.
I I I think Maynard ought to tell him no.
No.
You didn't consult me before you uh chose this date.
Here, you can use the sixth, the eighth, the ninth, the tenth, usually eleventh if you want.
But we're busy on the seventh.
And deal with the uh deal with the fallout.
I I don't know if the you know both events happen on the uh on the same night.
You're gonna have one network carrying the Republican debate, every other network carrying Obama.
