Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Okay, folks, what we have here is a fascinating object lesson.
What we have here is a golden opportunity.
What is happening in the aftermath of the Rand Paul filibuster is very useful.
This is extremely eye-opening.
Filibuster itself was eye-opening and has its own educational aspects.
But what's happening in the aftermath is almost as intriguing to me.
And the way I would put it is the establishment decided to go out to dinner last night.
Obama took McCain and Lindsey Graham and some others, went out to dinner.
By the way, Obama's motorcade, I want you to keep this in mind when you realize that they shut down White House tours.
All of these children who for years have been saying, Mommy, mommy, I want to go see where the president lives.
I want to go see your White House, mommy.
Can I do the White House for a spring break or summer break?
So the kids these days are getting everything they want.
Mom said, sure.
And they set it up.
They call local congress and set it up.
And when it was their turn to go, the White House tours are shut down because of the sequester.
Seven people who work in the White House tour department or tour office laid off, furloughed.
These White House tours are like a lot of museum tours.
You walk in, you get a pair of headphones and a CD or some audio source, and you walk around and you're told in your headphones what you're looking at.
And they're people to shepherd you and make sure you don't walk in on a, all like the president and a girl in a restroom.
They keep you in the right place.
They're basically self-guided tours.
Anyway, these things have been shut down.
The president goes out to dinner last night.
The establishment went out to dinner.
The parents went out to dinner.
Obama, McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the CB went out to dinner.
Obama, 20-vehicle motorcade to go to a restaurant for dinner last 20-vehicle motorcade to go to a restaurant while the White House tours are shut down because of sequester.
Anyway, that's just a side point.
The establishment goes out to dinner.
When they got back home, they found all the furniture out on the front porch.
The kids had gone crazy.
The kids had thrown a giant party while the establishment was out doing whatever they were doing.
While the old guard of the Republican Party was out playing footsie with the president, the new kids in town were talking to the American people about liberty.
The new kids in town captivated the nation talking to them about freedom.
The new kids in town were for the first time, and I don't know how long, actually taking it to Barack Obama and showing how easily it's done and showing that you live the next day and demonstrating you have tons and tons of support the next day.
Not only that, you have tons and tons of support while you're doing it.
Rand Paul starts his filibuster.
It was over the, in fact, he just wanted Obama to acknowledge in a letter that Obama will not kill Americans sitting in a cafe minding their own business with a drone.
And the regime wouldn't respond.
Now, Eric Holder did, and we had the sound bites for you.
Finally, after four or five tries from Ted Cruz, Holder finally admitted that such a thing would be unconstitutional.
Now, at that point, Rand Paul could have quit the filibuster.
But there was something larger going on.
And as the filibuster went on, Ted Cruz showed up, pointed out it's 177th anniversary of the Alamo.
Marco Rubio showed up.
Senator Turbin showed up.
Some Democrats that wanted to get in on this.
Dingy Harry showed up, tried to shut it down.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, the Republican establishment is not playing footsie with Obama at a restaurant.
And McCain, Senator McCain, just went to the floor of the Senate and blasted Senator Paul, saying the filibuster was not helpful.
Senator McCain, I tell you, this illustrates the contrast between the new stars of the Republican Party and yesterday's mashed potatoes.
McCain said that Paul's filibuster, let me tell you what's wrong lately, boy.
It's going to give ammo to those who think that the rules of the Senate have been abused.
Senator McCain, there's not a person in the world who cares about the rules of the Senate right now.
And if the rules of the Senate were abused last night for the American people to hear the truth, then so be it.
The rules of the Senate?
People are going to think the rules of the Senate were abused?
What are we all members of the ruling class here?
No, sir, Reed Bobkins, folks.
You and I, we are part of the country class.
I said part.
I popped the pee.
I'm a highly trained broadcast specialist.
I know that you say part, you pop that pee.
We are part of the country class.
You talk about being out of touch.
Worried about people, the low-information voters who need to be our targets are going to be concerned about the rules of the Senate.
They don't even think there are any.
I would bet you that more people watched Rand Paul's filibuster last night than watched any of the Senate's televised proceedings in years.
And more importantly, a lot of people may have actually been inspired by what Rand Paul did.
And you know what?
He didn't need the media.
He had 12 hours of uninterrupted.
As long as he stayed on his feet, he had the floor.
And he could turn it over.
He could yield to whoever he wanted.
But as long as he stayed on his feet and as long as he stayed on the Senate floor, no computers are allowed in there.
No phones are allowed in there.
He could not sit down.
So he's eating candy bars and water for sustenance.
And the questions, if you noticed, that people were helping Rand Paul along.
Sometimes the questions would go 10 minutes just to give him a break.
All by design.
But he had access to the American people.
News spread like wildfire.
It's the headline on Drudge.
I'm sitting at home, so I know what's going on, so I'm not watching it.
I know what it's all about.
I don't have to watch it.
I'm old enough.
I know enough that I know what's happening without watching it.
But I get people sending me email last, what the hell is this all about?
Who had no idea what was happening, but then they did.
Then they heard about it.
So I had a stock email reply prepared, and I just hit Command V for pasting it, sent it back.
Whatever somebody wanted to know what was going on.
And what was going on was, for the first time, this president being challenged on something he wants to do that is unconstitutional.
And it's not the first time that he's trying to do something unconstitutional.
And there wasn't any shouting, and there wasn't any yelling, and there wasn't any name-calling, and there wasn't any of this.
And if you went to Twitter, which is dominated by the left, interesting thing about this, there are a lot of libs on Twitter.
The libs, if you get them in a sterile environment, you know, they are obsessed with people dying.
That's why they worry about global warming.
It's why they worry about whether or not you eat oat bran or not.
They're obsessed with people dying.
Well, being hit by a drone while you're in a cafe smoking a weed, drinking some Starbucks, that ain't cool.
And even libs can relate to that.
So even the libs on Twitter were very alarmed when they heard what could be possible someday in this country if it's not stopped.
So even they were signing up to this, not all, but in some instances.
And this was, by the way, is another opportunity.
You know, we conservatives.
What are we really all about?
When you boil us down, what are we all about?
Freedom, liberty.
And yet, we are judged by many on the left to be people that want to put other people in prison and so forth.
And then the reason for that, of course, is that we also concern ourselves with morality.
We love freedom and liberty, but we have guardrails.
The left doesn't.
And that's why they look at us as jailers.
Well, they do.
I mean, they win the White House and they run around singing songs we have overcome.
It's like they've just been let out of jail.
It's like the Civil War ended every time they win an election.
So there were a lot of things going on in this filibuster last night.
A lot of lessons.
And another big lesson was, and this is something for the old guard to learn, the Constitution of the United States was being defended and protected last night.
The freedom and liberty of the people of the United States was being defended against potential assault by the President of the United States, and the people of this country rallied like crazy.
They did not get mad at Rand Paul.
They loved him.
They did not call Rand Paul a racist.
They loved him.
They did not call him an extremist.
They loved him.
All of these fears that the old guard ruling class has, all the, you know, the Republican consultancy class, don't attack Obama, don't criticize Obama.
They're going to anger the independents, they're women and such.
None of that happened.
And we didn't need Diane Sawyer there or Dan Rev. We didn't need a moderator for this thing.
We didn't need Martha Raditz there asking questions for any of it.
Just had a guy speaking from the heart with some of his friends that showed up.
Well, across town, Obama uses a 20-car motorcade to go out and get dinner.
By the way, I got a note about that.
Somebody wants me to make a big deal out of the fact that he paid for it out of his own pocket.
Big whoop.
He doesn't have any money in his pocket that isn't ours first.
What is it?
Well, I take it back.
He did pawn a couple of books off on people.
But I doubt that he's spending that money.
He's spending the money we pay him.
Oh, speaking at Zeb Chaffetz, Zeb Chaffetz, author of the book on me, the semi-biographical tome on me, Army of One.
He's got a new book out on Roger Ailes, and they excerpted three chapters.
They excerted three pages on my computer in Vanity Fair.
And the excerpt features Ailes saying, I like Joe Biden, but he's as dumb as an ashtray.
They excerpt, Zeb Chaffetz captures Ailes saying, the problem with Obama is he's lazy.
He's never earned a dime in his life.
That really made Wolf Blitzer man.
I mean, that really made a menace.
You see, when you call a black person lazy, that's code lingo.
Right, Mr. Snerdley?
No, they're not so over.
Those days are not so over.
Mr. Snerdley, our official Obama criticizer, you might have to weigh in on this today because but Obama himself called himself lazy in an interview with somebody, it was a Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, called himself lazy.
So anyway, and then there's something about Wolf Blitzer wearing a size 42 suit that Wolf's ticked off about.
I've got the soundbite here.
Anyway, the book on Ailes is great because Ailes opened up to Zev like he hasn't opened up to anybody else.
Roger Ailes off the air.
And you find out who Roger Ailes, the guy, is, just like you find out who El Rushbo, the guy, is by reading Zev Chaffetz's Army of One.
Both books are still out there and both are still available.
Well, Ailes' book is new.
Army of One now climbing the charts again, by the way, as a companion tome to the Ailes book.
Anyway, we're going to have Rand Paul on the program top of the next hour because he's also, I'm going to ask him about this, he's being criticized by Republican establishment types.
Get this criticism.
You ready for this one?
He knows nobody's going to ever launch a drone on Americans.
That's not.
And he wasn't trying to stop Brennan.
That wasn't.
This guy's actually trying to, just like his dad, he's just trying to get U.S. military shut out from using drones, period, especially on Muslims.
So that criticism of Rand Paul is out there from, and it's absurd, but it's out there from Republican establishment types.
So after McCain, after McCain went to the floor of the Senate and said that Paul's concerns were totally unfounded, and he did a dysservice, a dysservice to a lot of Americans should make them fear they're in danger from their government.
They're not.
They're not.
McGain said, American citizens have nothing to fear from their government.
You know, I'm thinking Obama's kicking himself for not inviting the McCain dinner earlier.
This McCain guy could come in really handy for Obama.
Obama figures this out last night.
He went to the Florida Senate to actually say that Rand Paul's concerns were unfounded.
This is what we're up against.
This is the Republican reaction to Rand Paul.
Violated Senate rules.
Wrong impression.
The American people aren't threatened.
This is unrighteous.
That's not right.
It's getting people all concerned over nothing.
And then Senator Graham went out to grab soundbite, was it 19?
Senator Graham also was on Fox News this morning, and this was what he said.
The drone program he has utilized overseas, I think, has made us safer.
This idea that we're going to use a drone to attack an American citizen in a cafe in America is ridiculous.
So, rules of the Senate versus the rule of law in due process and what wins with the old guard establishment, the rules of the Senate.
Now, let's not forget here, Senator McCain loudly and constantly condemned the use of enhanced interrogation on terrorists, too.
I guess he got no problem with the president using a drone because he didn't even think it's going to happen.
So, anyway, now Obama wants to have Paul Ryan over for lunch, since this thing worked out so well last night with the old guard that he wants to spread it around.
I hope it was worth it.
Okay, let me take a brief time out.
We got to do that, and we'll come back.
We'll continue with all the rest.
Today's for Kim Kardashian suffered a major pregnancy scare.
She's okay.
She's okay.
But she's a major pregnancy scare out there.
TMZ had that.
Well, we've got the details, too.
Yes, I am in a bad mood, Sterdley.
But I can't.
I can't.
Well, Snerdley, Snerdley said to me, you seem like you're ticked off of us.
I am.
But I can't dare tell you what about you just the old argument that I, El Rochebao, am out of touch.
What has me in a bad mood today has something to do with my iPhone.
It had nothing in the world to do.
And if I sit here and start telling you about it, I can imagine the grief that I would get.
So I'm going to hold it in.
Not even about the phone.
It's about an app on the phone that's got me ticked off.
It's silly.
It's silly to get ticked off about it, but I can't help it.
I am.
I have learned long ago not to bottle up frustrations, but to get them out.
But having said that, I'm not going to bleed on you people about this.
Now, this, I'll tell you what's happening here, folks, among many other things.
McCain, some of these old guard guys are jealous.
The Senate, remember, politics is showbiz for the ugly.
It is showbiz.
It is about getting on television.
It's about getting rave reviews in the media.
It is every bit about photo ops and all that stuff as Hollywood people are as focused on it.
And right now, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have captivated everybody.
And these old guard guys, these old bulls are getting jealous.
It's a little bit more complicated than that, but I think that's fundamentally one of the things happening here.
Back in just a second.
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back.
El Rushball, greetings.
Great to have you here.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
You got to hear these soundbites.
The Ailes book by Zeb Chaffet's off the air.
Roger Ailes off the air.
In it, he said that Joe Biden, he likes Joe Biden.
By the way, that's a neat trick.
The way I learned this, I used to criticize people, and I would never preface the criticism with, you know, I like so-and-so, but I just said whatever.
But the way you get away with it is to say you like them.
You know, I like Barack Obama, but folks, let me tell you, that's the trick.
And I think it is a trick.
I think it's a well-learned trick.
And it took me, I have to learn all this stuff on my own.
Nobody ever taught me these things.
I just pick it up.
So Ailes in the book says, you know, I like Joe Biden.
He's a good guy, but he's dumb.
He's dumb as an ashtray.
Well, that didn't sit well with Wolf Blitzer over at CNN, where they had a discussion about Zev Chaffett's book, Roger Ailes Off Camera.
And he had some things to say about Wolf, too.
So here's Wolf dealing with it.
Roger Ailes has some strong words about Joe Biden, among other things, saying, I have a soft spot for Joe Biden.
I like him, but he's dumb as an ashtray.
Wow.
Dumb as an ashtray.
I know Joe Biden.
He is not dumb.
Certainly not dumb as an ashtray.
Well, that's a hell of an endorsement.
So Wolf Blitzer says, I know, I know Biden, and he's not dumb, certainly not as dumb as an ashtray.
Wolf was laughing.
Are you kidding?
You saw this?
He had a smile, and he was not genuinely outraged.
Oh, oh, well, I don't know.
I know what you're going to do.
You're going to destroy me here if you're telling me Wolf was having a good time with this.
I know Joe, but it sounds to me like he ticked off.
Wow.
Dumb as an ashtray.
I know Joe, but he's not dumb.
Certainly not dumb as an ashtray.
I don't, I never fashioned, I could be dead wrong.
I know Wolf Butcher.
I like Wolf Blitzer.
But I've never thought of him as a comedian.
I've never thought he had comedian chops.
I thought what you get with Wolf is what you get.
He's just out there.
Anyway, now this next one, Wolf, I might have to acknowledge that Wolf's being a little lighthearted here because Ailes made a comment about Wolf and his size.
And he pointed out that Wolf Blitzer wears a 42 short suit size, a 42 short, and Wolf wanted to correct that.
He does say I'm a good journalist.
He's blunt and he's a very, very smart guy.
He's done an amazing job over at Fox News.
No one can deny that.
He did get one thing wrong.
He said, I wear a 42 short.
As far as my suit is concerned, it's a 42 regular.
Just want to be precise on that.
So, I know.
We got to get that straight.
But look, we don't assign comedic jobs to Wolf.
We have to acknowledge.
He's taken that with good nature, with good humor.
I don't think Wolf really offended.
I do think, I do think part of Wolf was offended at Ailes calling Biden as dumb as an ashtray.
I would say pencil eraser, but it's hard to compare the two.
But Van Jones was not happy at all when Ailes referred to Obama as lazy.
And Ailes in the book, Roger Ailes off-camera says that Obama is lazy.
He's never earned a dime in the private sector.
And that didn't sit well with the former CNN, no, I think he still has, former administration official, well-known communist sympathizer, Van Jones.
He was on last night with Aaron Burnett.
She said, Ailes says that Obama's the one who never worked a day in his life, never earned a penny that wasn't public money.
How many fundraisers does he attend every week?
How obviously play basketball and golf?
I wish I had that kind of time.
He's lazy, but the media won't report that.
And then she said to Van Jones, are these racially charged comments, Van, are these racially charged comments?
There is this just frank talk.
Van Jones, racial, what say you?
Very, very.
First of all, I just want to say I worked with this president.
I worked for him.
I know his work ethic.
I know not only the quantity of his work, but the quality of his work.
But you don't have to be in the White House to see this guy works hard.
Look at his hair.
This guy goes in the White House looking like Tiger Woods.
He comes out looking like Morgan Freeman.
He is working himself to the bone.
Why is he being accused of being lazy?
Of all things you can accuse him of, why lazy?
One of the things that is a standard thing that's said about African American men, it goes back 200 years, the shiftless.
We are now saying the president of the United States is a shiftless Negro.
It is racially charged and offensive and wrong.
Well, except that's not what he said.
He didn't say that President Obama is a shiftless Negro.
He said he was lazy and he hadn't earned a penny that wasn't public money.
But you see, 200 years, this country's still racist.
Still slavery, folks.
But let's go back, shall we?
Go back.
We'll turn back the hands of time.
We'll go to the archives.
December 23rd, 2011, ABC's trenchy-trenchy with Barbara Walters interviewing President Obama and the First Lady, Muchel Obama, and discussing the president's personality traits.
And they had this exchange.
What's the trait you most deplore in yourself and the trait you most deplore in others?
Laziness.
You're lazy?
You know, it's interesting.
There is a deep down underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.
I mean, it's probably from growing up in Hawaii, and it's sunny outside and sitting on the beach.
Did the president just call himself a shiftless Negro?
Of course not.
Of course not.
He just described himself as prone to being lazy because he grew up in Hawaii, the sun, the beach, and reefers.
Yeah, and yeah, well, you know, when you all get in a car and you roll up the windows, what do you call those sessions?
I've never done one, so the name is like Chongos or some such thing.
I forget, but there's a name for it.
You all get in the car, roll up the windows, and have at it.
And Obama said, yeah, the beach.
And the sun is in Hawaii, tend toward laziness.
Obama said it himself a year ago, a year and a half ago.
But Ailes points it out in his book, and all hell breaks loose.
These guys just can't take it.
Ailes gets under their nerves, under their skin.
The choom gang.
Choom gang is what it is.
Choom gang.
You get a bunch of guys blowing weed, put them in a car, you rope the windows, and have at it.
Choom gang.
And Obama was in one by his own admission.
Ailes didn't say it.
By his own admission.
I think there are pictures.
It's called chuming.
You've never done it?
You answered that awfully quickly.
That denial came very quickly, Mr. Snerdley.
Okay, so let's take a brief time.
And again, Rand Paul will be here to top the hour.
So I'm reserving more comments about his filibuster until we have him here.
Because remember, folks, when I say something about anything, there's nothing left to be said.
And I need to leave some room here for Senator Paul to have something to say about his own filibuster.
That's coming up top of the next hour.
Back in just a second.
Zev Chaffetz Chronicling, Movers and Shakers of the Conservative Movement.
Two books, Roger Ailes Off Camera, and of course the book on me, Rush Limbaugh, Army of One.
But that's actually, you know, Ailes is in my army.
But it was a clever title.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, the Washington Post has a poll.
Yeah, I'm going to get to some phone calls here before the top of the hour because we've got Senator Paul, I think, in the first segment, the next hour.
The Washington Post has a poll that shows a large majority of Americans support government spending cuts while sparing the Department of Defense.
A large majority.
It's by John Cohen and Sean Sullivan.
Americans broadly support and across-the-board cut in spending for a government often seen as wasteful.
But there is wide opposition to blanket cuts in the military, according to a new Washington Post, ABC News poll.
Now, folks, this is textbook.
The Washington Post is ticked off at its own poll.
They don't like the results of this poll.
In fact, they never mention what the actual totals are, the percentages.
You have to get that from looking at one of their charts.
I kid you not.
They have a poll out, and they open up by saying Americans broadly support and across-the-board cut in spending.
Folks, it's another glaring example.
The American people support the exact opposite of what Barack Obama is doing.
Yet another example, yet again, and by a wide margin here.
And it's a funny thing here to read this Washington Post story.
Turns out that a 5% across-the-board cut in overall spending is supported 61 to 33.
We are not on the losing side when it comes to the majority of thinking in this country.
We are being governed by an ever-shrinking minority.
And until these young bucks in the Republican Senate showed up, there was nobody willing to oppose them.
I don't know about you.
I can't tell the number of people last night who said to me, I had a bunch of emails.
If just this week, I've been talking to callers who've called here and their hands are thrown up in frustration.
What can we do?
What can we do?
I said, we're beyond the point of words now.
It's going to require an event that nobody knows is coming.
An event is going to happen.
Wake people up, change their minds, or do something else.
And I was not talking about a cataclysmic event.
I was talking about a political event.
I wasn't talking about a hurricane or some sort of climate disaster or an airplane accident.
I was referring to a major political event that illustrates something that turns everything upside down.
This filibuster last night did.
It was such an event.
Don't know what kind of legs it's going to have.
I don't know, in and of itself, it's not going to be enough.
But this Washington Post poll is just another bit of evidence that tells me, doesn't tell me, it proves we're being governed by a minority.
The majority of thinking in this country opposes Barack Obama.
It's just they don't know it.
It is really profound to me.
This is not even close.
61 to 33 percent support a 5 percent across-the-board budget cut except for defense in a Washington Post ABC poll.
Not 5149, not 50-50, 6133.
It isn't even close.
There is not majority opinion for growing the government the way it is growing.
There is not majority opinion for slashing defense.
But the guy who's doing all that is escaping any tie to it, he's escaping any association with it.
Limbaugh theorem again.
And so the Washington Post, I'm surprised they didn't just spike the story.
If they hadn't run it, nobody would have known, other than their pollsters, that they had these results.
So they set about, after reporting, they don't report the numbers.
You have to find the numbers I gave you, the 6133 in their chart.
And then their story about their own poll is an attempt to undermine their own poll.
They point out that a Pew poll, a competing poll in February, found that there was no majority support for spending cuts.
So they try to undercut their own poll with a previous month's poll.
They were so unhappy with the results of their own.
It's amazing.
So if you want to take heart in anything, take heart in the fact that a sizable majority of the American people oppose what's happening here.
So you have Rand Paul joined by Ted Cruz and Rubio last night taking on this administration over the Constitution, over personal freedom, over liberty, and it invigorated people.
That's what the old Gardner Republican Party doesn't understand.
It's what the establishment doesn't understand.
Obama and his policies were on display last night for 12 hours.
They were under assault.
And everybody who did it is alive today.
And everybody who was involved in it is a hero today.
Nothing bad happened to them.
They didn't lose their fundraising.
Nobody's calling them racist.
All the things the Republican establishment's afraid of.
Basically, what happened with the country class showed up, had 12 hours in the Senate to speak last night while the ruling class was out having dinner with Obama.
Quick phone call.
This is Andrew in Minneapolis.
Andrew, I'm glad you called.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, how are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Great.
My name is Andrew.
I'm from Brainerd, Minnesota, but I live in Minneapolis now.
And boy, between last night and this morning, things have changed for me and a lot of my friends.
A lot of friends that I have that are homosexual, very, very liberal, the pot-smoking libertarian folks.
They haven't believed a word I've said up till now about Andrew Breitbart, about listening to Rush Limbaugh, and my own political awakening, and then my support of Mitt Romney.
Overnight, literally overnight, emails, tweets, texts, Facebook messages from three or four of these people that are incredibly curious, shout-outs over Facebook saying, oh, boy, you actually have a conservative guy who's willing to stand up to the old Republic and Lindsey Graham and John McCain and do something that we all believe in.
And I think they're starting to see that they believe in some of the same things I do.
Wait, your liberal buddies had that to say?
They did.
Well, they think they're liberal, but I don't think they ever take the time to really investigate.
Okay, I get it.
But these are your libertarian gay guys, and so they don't like McCain and Et Munch, and that's who they associate with the Republican Party.
So Rand Paul and the young guys show up, and they have a change of heart.
Is that what you heard?
Yeah, and they have a good curiosity for what the Tea Party represents.
And, you know, they want to see Occupy Unmasked with me, which I've been trying to have them watch for ages because two of us are.
Well, now, see, Andrew, this is great.
I thank you.
This is, in a way, what I was talking about when I was telling callers this week, it's going to take an event that we're beyond words now.
50 years of words to people.
It's going to take an event where there are illustrations of what we've been talking about.
And last night was such an event.
Again, now, I don't know how long its effects will be, how long its legs are, but it can't be denied that it happened.
A brief timeout.
Don't go away, folks.
Thanks again, Andrew.
By the way, folks, the Zeb Chaffetz book, Roger Ailes Off Camera, there's much, much more to this book than just the stuff about Wolf Blitzer and Biden.
It's a great life philosophy book.
Roger's raising his son Zach, and it's just a life lesson book, and it's entertaining.
