Time Text
You are tuned to the most listened to radio talk show in the United States.
You are tuned to the most talked about radio talk show.
In fact, you may be listening to the most talked about show, period, in the United States.
Well, of course, and the world ever.
Okay, fine.
I keep having the staff add descriptives.
It's all entirely true.
And you all have the unique distinction of having made it possible.
Great to have you here as we head on down the tracks of truth here.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, ilrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Okay, a lot of people on hold, patiently waiting.
And it's a juggling act every day.
I've got all the soundbites.
I got my own commentary, which is the primary reason we're all here.
And the phone calls.
I got to try to juggle them all in.
And it's all improv.
You know, there's no written, unlike Obama's prompter, there is no format or schedule here.
There's no producer.
There's no director.
There's nobody telling me, okay, at nine minutes after the second hour top, you're doing X.
It just happens as I sense it, feel it, think it.
So I never purposely avoid the phones.
I never purposely avoid the soundbite roster.
It's just all driven by stream of consciousness.
Peter Beinart.
You know who Peter Beinart is?
Well, you formerly New Republic and formerly CNN.
Did you know, you know when I saw television ratings?
Do you know a Fox Saturday morning, get this?
It's a show called Cashing In.
I think it's hosted by Eric Bowling.
A Saturday morning financial show on Fox has more audience than any CNN prime time show.
I'm telling you, a Saturday morning, and it's got over a million viewers, Cashin' In, has more viewers on a Saturday morning on cable TV than CNN and MSNBC combined in prime time.
That is just unheard of.
And if I stop playing soundbites and CNN and stop talking about them, that may be the end of them.
Of course, I think they've already hit the end.
It's just, it's uncanny.
I couldn't go to work there.
I don't know how those people do it.
You're going to go into work every day and you're going to know nobody is going to watch you.
That's true.
They get paid.
They get paid.
But the thing is, they act like everybody is hinging on every word they say.
And they haven't the slightest idea why nobody's watching them.
They don't have a clue how they're driving audience away.
They have no idea.
They look at Fox.
They look at this program.
They look at anything that attracts a large audience and immediately resent it and think that, well, that's an illegitimate audience.
That's the Tea Party.
That's conservatives.
We don't want any.
And so they punt.
They make no effort.
They stay loyal to the cause liberalism, even if it means driving their shows down to the asterisk level of the ratings.
I think a black hole has swallowed CNN.
It's not a question of whether a black hole could, like a black hole has.
Do you know what I saw on CNN this morning?
They supposedly found a new witness to the killing of the general giant.
Honest together, in the midst of all of this, and it looked to me like an old witness.
It didn't look like somebody new.
And then this morning they had the NAG chairman on, the president NAGS, whatever, whining and moaning about Goodell and the NFL.
And apparently, Stephen A. Smith went after the NAGS babe yesterday, as we did here.
But Stephen A. did it in his own, you know.
And so the CNN Infobabe hostette is wondering why Stephen A. Smith still has a job.
And why hasn't ESPN suspended him?
Because you see, it's simply not permitted to be critical of the NAG babe.
It isn't, and why is Goodell still there?
Why doesn't, why don't it's just they're stupid.
They're just genuinely closed-minded.
It's incredible to watch this.
It would be really scary if they had a large audience.
That would depress me.
That would make me reconsider everything.
But I am instead rendered hopeful that their audience is practically non-existent because it deserves to be.
It is just one.
I mean, I'm trying to be nice here, but it's embarrassing how ill-informed, uninformed, short-sighted, closed-minded, whatever you descriptive you want.
It is stunning to watch what happens on this network.
And I, prime time, you get beat by a Saturday morning taped financial show.
Not to put that show down, don't misunderstand.
Anyway, back to Peter Beinart, because he used to work there.
That's what got me off on this.
Peter Beinart's now at the Atlantic, Mr. Snurdley.
Well, you go back and forth.
You go to New Republic, then you go to the Atlantic, then you go to The Hill, then you go to Salon, and you go to CNN, and you go to Slate, then you go to Washington Post, and you start the cycle over again.
You go to New Republic, one place you're editor, then you're executive editor, then you're just a slave writer.
You try to get a Fox commentary deal or whatever.
It's the cycle.
So right now, Beinert and his career is over at the Atlantic.
Obama's disastrous Iraq policy and autopsy.
An autopsy.
An autopsy as in there's a body.
Right.
There's a dead body here.
It's the Obama-Iraq policy, and it's Peter Beinart, who is the medical examiner here.
Yes, I want the opening paragraph here is so it is just so typical.
Yes, the Iraq war was a disaster of historic proportions.
Yes, seeing its architects return to prime time to smugly slam Obama while taking no responsibility for their own far greater failures is infuriating.
Do you know what that's in reference to?
Dick Cheney on TV this week.
See, right here it is in the first paragraph.
The left believes their own drivel.
They manufactured for political purposes the idea that the Iraq war was illegitimate from the get-go, should never have happened, was impossible to win, was totally unnecessary, and was administered by a Darth Vader named Dick Cheney who only did it to enrich Halliburton.
Everybody involved, Petraeus, liars, cheats.
It was a waste of American treasure and American life, they said, and it was a total boondoggle.
And the reason they did this is that's what got them elected.
They did everything they could to secure defeat for their own country in Iraq.
And they can't let go of the lie that they manufactured.
So in a piece where he's going to rip Obama to shreds, he has to start out by saying, I don't care how bad Obama is, Bush and Cheney were worse.
And it really galls all of us to see him on TV gloating now.
Well, Mr. Beinhart, I don't know that Cheney's gloating.
I think Cheney's genuinely worried that we have people running this country who don't have the slightest idea how to save it, protect it, defend it, nor do they take it seriously.
I think Dick Cheney is seriously worried about the country.
I don't think Dick Cheney's on TV gloating about anything.
There's nothing to gloat about here.
We don't gloat over U.S. weakness.
We don't seek to disadvantage our own country for our own political advancement like you people do.
We never seek defeat in a military conflict so that we can make our political opponents look bad.
We never want this country to be at risk.
Whenever we get involved military, we want to kick butt now take names later and end it and come back with a W.
And we certainly do not want the country run by people that don't want the same things and don't know how to accomplish it and are not even interested in those things.
And that's what we've got.
Nobody's on TV gloating.
But this whole idea that Iraq was a disaster really ticks me off because it wasn't.
It was necessary.
Folks, let me go through this one more time before I get back to this column.
I want you to think about something and I want you to put yourself in Bush's place.
Imagine, I know it's very hard for any of us to really do this.
Imagine being president.
I mean, that's...
But try.
And 9-11 happens.
You're reading to a class of children as part of an average ordinary presidential day.
One of the stops you're reading kids in a schoolhouse in Florida.
And somebody comes to you, the World Trade Center has just been knocked down.
Both towers on the way to plummeting.
Nobody knows anything other than that.
You scramble, you get out of there.
First time the U.S. continental U.S. has been hit ever.
3,000 people are dead, and you don't know what's coming next.
You don't know if they're hidden in the White House.
You don't know if they're going to go over the Capitol.
You don't know if they're going to go for other locations in the Midway.
You don't know anything.
Nobody knows anything.
That's another story.
But the point is you don't, and everything now is different.
Everything's changed.
Now we can be hit.
Now we can be with our own airplanes.
Our own airplanes can take out our own targets.
So you are commander-in-chief.
Your oath of office is to defend and protect the Constitution and the people of this country.
That's your first and foremost duty.
Something like the Twin Towers going down, the Pentagon being hit, something like 9-11 is, I mean, it's ridiculous to say that it's unique.
It's far more than that.
It's never happened before.
And if around the world other people are threatening to do the same thing, how do you not take that seriously?
It's like our old French philosopher Blaise Pascal said on paraphrasing, it's much easier to believe that something that has happened can happen again, something that has been can be again, than it is to believe that something that's never been can be.
Well, okay, World Trade Center was hit, our own planes.
We were attacked.
Okay, it can happen.
And the world was cheering in certain quarters.
And there were people bragging they're going to do it again.
They're going to do more.
You have to take that seriously.
Going into Iraq was not to avenge an assassination attempt on George H.W. Bush.
And it wasn't about Halliburton.
It was about somebody taking a threat seriously and taking preventive action and not waiting to be hit again.
And Saddam was bragging all over the place about all the weapons of mass destruction he had.
And they were toying around with creating a nuke.
And everybody knew he had and tried to.
Now, at the time, you can't afford to sit around and say, nah, he can't do it.
Nah, he doesn't mean it.
Nah, he's just bragging.
Nah, you don't have that luxury.
So the decision was made to take him out along with whatever we did in Afghanistan.
And the Democrats supported it for a couple of weeks.
But that's as long as they could go.
Then they turned it political, and that was the end.
They spent the next five years trying to delegitimize the whole thing.
In my mind, it had a valid purpose.
Now, the details of the mission, democratizing the place and turning it into a mini-America, that was a stretch.
But I don't have one problem.
I don't have one problem with taking out people threatening to do exactly what happened to us on 9-11 before they can do it.
If they're going to brag about doing it, they may as well paint a bullseye on their target.
Everything changes after 9-11.
You don't sit around and wait for it to happen again and then go get them and try to find out who did it.
Anyway, the idea that Iraq was entirely illegitimate, made up and unnecessary is something the Democrats fed off of for five years.
They went to every election on it.
It just, it sickened me when it happened.
They were ripping the military, accusing them of being rapists and terrorists and terrorizing women and children.
You had John Kerry, John Murthy, Democrat after Democrat on television every day, every week, criticizing their own country, criticizing their own military, accepting any allegation about our military as truth.
All for the purposes of discrediting the whole operation so that we would lose, so that the Democrats could win the White House in 2004 and 2008.
So that's why I get, when I read this opening from Beinhardt, I just get steamed again.
Yes, the Iraq war was a disaster of historic.
No, it was not a disaster.
This is a disaster of historic proportions.
The Obama presidency, Mr. Beinart, is a disaster of historic proportions.
And not just the Obama military, the Obama health care, the Obama economy, the Obama infrastructure, the Obama immigration, the Obama open borders.
We are living the disaster of historic proportions.
Iraq was not one.
We're living it.
We are in the middle of a disaster of historic proportions.
Yes, the Iraq war was a disaster of historic proportions.
Yes, seeing its architects return to prime time to smugly slam President Obama while taking no responsibility of their own, far greater failures is infuriating.
Okay, so you had to get that out of the way to be true to the Democrat liberal reader base.
And then he writes this, but sooner or later, just notice the clock.
I will not lose my train of thought.
Be right back.
By the way, I should have mentioned that this Beinart piece is from June.
It's not from this week.
It makes it even more poignant.
The Peter Beinart piece is from June 23rd of 2014.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that.
I got so revved up to get into the substance that I forgot to mention it.
But it's June 23rd, 2014, not written after last night's speech.
So let me just read you the rest of the first paragraph.
It's really all you need to hear.
Sooner or later, he writes, after ripping Bush and saying it's embarrassing to see him on TV, sooner or later, honest liberals will have to admit that Obama's Iraq policy has been a disaster.
Since Obama took office, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has grown ever more tyrannical and ever more sectarian, driving his country's Sunnis toward revolt.
Since Obama took office, Iraq watchers have warned that unless the U.S. pushed hard for inclusive government, the country would slide back into civil war.
Yet the White House has been so eager to put Iraq in America's rearview mirror that it has given Maliki an almost free pass.
So even back in June, the libs were writing about what a disaster Obama's policy is.
And it's only gotten worse.
But here's this word inclusive.
Obama talks about today.
The Iraqi government must be inclusive.
That's a crock of a word when we're talking about things like this.
Inclusive?
Whatever happened to doing what you have to do?
These are serious matters.
This is not social architecture.
This is not a social liberal experimentation laboratory.
Inclusive?
Well, that's right, Mr. Limbaugh, because if the Iraqi government had been inclusive and allowed the Sunnis and the Kurds and the CIC all participate equally, then they would not have had it.
It's crock.
It is an absolute inclusive.
That's not how things like this work.
I'll tell you, we are veering so far.
They're just hard, cold truths and realities about things of grave consequence, and you cannot deal with them with political correctness and so forth.
I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to take a break.
I'm going to come back.
I'm going to start on the phones.
But I'm going to show you with this Iraq war that Obama is planning.
I'm going to show you how easy it would be to sound liberal about it.
I'm going to show you how simple and how much fun it would be to simply look at this upcoming excursion, whatever it's going to be called, as a liberal of today would look at it.
And then we'll get to your phone calls.
So reward your patience out there, those of you on hold.
Hang in.
We'll be right back.
Okay, we're going to go back to the phones as promised.
We're not going to go back.
We're going to get to.
This is Bruce in Muskegon, Michigan.
I'm glad you waited, and it's great to have you.
Hi.
Thanks, Ross, for taking my call.
I will get right to my point.
I'd like you to address a very important point regarding the status of the force agreement, which no one else seems to be talking about.
Obama claims that he couldn't get a status for an agreement, but the real question is, did he really want one?
It's my understanding that he, Obama, insisted that the Iraqi parliament approve the agreement, which is contrary to any other status of forces agreement we ever had with any other country during any other conflict.
He knew that the parliament was dysfunctional and they couldn't agree on the time of day, let alone a status of forces agreement.
So it's my premise, and I think other people have said it, but no one's saying it in the media that that was Obama's out.
He really didn't want it, and by making it requirement that the Parliament approve it.
He didn't want to stay.
You're right.
He wanted no evidence America had ever been there.
He didn't want to leave a vestige.
He didn't want to leave a single troop.
He didn't want to leave a single reminder.
All of this driven by politics.
Folks, the Barack Obama Democrat Party, you name it, media, thinking on Iraq, when it came time to end, it had nothing to do with strategy.
It had nothing to do with preserving what had been won or what might have been won.
It had nothing to do with maintaining stability there.
All that mattered was getting out.
And the reason they had to get out was their fringe base voters and donors.
Folks, everything is political to these people.
Everything is a political calculation.
There was no way Obama could maintain any credibility with the people who had just elected him if he left troops there.
He couldn't even talk about doing it.
He couldn't even talk about the possibility of preserving, even if he wanted to call it the peace.
He couldn't.
The media and the Democrat Party had driven their own base insane over this.
What do you think is going to happen?
Five years, every day of the year, and every hour of the year.
Somebody in the Democrat Party is ripping Iraq, ripping the Iraq war, ripping the president, ripping the United States, ripping the U.S. military.
Five years, every day, multiple times a day.
And the way they did it, they were calling Bush a liar.
They were saying Cheney only cared about money for Halliburton.
It was blood for oil.
They told their rabid voters that our troops were raping and maiming Iraqi women and children.
They told them every day that our troops were destroying civilian targets.
They drove their own base insane with rage.
They lied to the American people of what was going on in Iraq, what the intention was, how it was being conducted, and their base, which is already fringe kook to begin with on a normal day.
Look at, I read the comments that these Looney Tunes posted on the blogs for five years, maybe even longer.
Obama could not afford to even speak one positive syllable about Iraq because he and the Democrats had spent five years trashing.
He had to get out.
There was no other possibility.
So he used, our caller here is right on the money, said I couldn't get a status of forces agreement.
And again, what that really means, if you break it down, status of forces, what that means is how are our troops remaining going to be treated vis-a-vis Iraqi law.
Unless you indemnify our troops, we're not leaving any there, is the primary intent of a status of forces.
There's a whole bunch of other things in it.
But if the host country will not indemnify troops against war crimes, charges, and so forth, then we don't stay.
Obama claimed he couldn't get one.
Caller's right, he didn't want one.
He wanted to be able to blame the Iraqis and Malachi and everybody else for the fact we were getting at it, but he couldn't stay.
For five years, they had told everybody how illegitimate the whole thing was.
They couldn't stay.
That is why I find what happens now so sweetly ironic.
The people, if anybody owns the defeat in Iraq, it's Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.
They wanted it.
They're the ones that secured it.
Yeah, you better bleep that.
We got 46.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because they don't know crap from Shinola.
ISIS was allowed to grow.
It was al-Qaeda in Iraq.
We pulled out of there.
The Iraqis were not capable of stopping them, and everybody knew this.
So we pull out, and now we have to go back in there for political reasons again.
We're going back in there because Obama's poll numbers suck.
We're not going back in there because Obama thinks it's the right thing to do.
We're going back in there because his poll numbers are in a tank.
So right before the election, he's doing a political move trying to make himself a reluctant warrior.
I don't know about using the troops again.
I'm going to tell you, folks, I do not want a reluctant warrior as commander-in-chief.
I don't want a reluctant anything.
But anyway, it is so sweetly ironic because the people who gave us this defeat, who wanted it, who secured it, are now imprisoned by it politically.
We're not going in there because Obama cares to defeat ISIS.
I don't think, if he's going to stand there last night and tell us that they're not Islam and they don't kill innocent people, then he can't possibly care about what they're doing.
If he's not going to even be honest with the American people who they are, we're doing what we're doing because poll numbers are in a tank before an election.
And the poll matter, poll numbers matter because amnesty's next.
And you don't want to do amnesty when you're sitting at 30 in the polls.
It's all political.
So status of forces agreement, the bottom line of status of forces agreement is that we could have gotten one and the Iraqis would have done anything to get us to stay.
That's the hard cold reality.
Obama didn't want to.
Here's Lewis in Greenville, South Carolina.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how are you doing?
Hey, I'm good.
A quick question.
I always wonder why you always down Obama as far as being a president, being a man.
And I always say just like you own a radio every day, you can't control what goes on in every state and every city and what every radio station around the United States.
And you have to have permission, just like Obama has to have permission for Congress to do something.
If he doesn't do it, he's a bad person.
If he doesn't get Congress approval, he's a bad person.
So what from one man to do if he does it this way, it's a problem.
If he does it the other way, it's a problem.
But you don't look at that.
You look at how you everything he does.
Okay.
Can you give me specific?
I mean, you think Obama's doing a good job.
You think I'm in a situation?
I think he's doing a great job.
You think he's doing a great job?
Yes, I do.
On what?
I mean, on the economy, jobs are up.
You got to be kidding me.
No, sir, I'm not.
You have got to do it.
If you looked at the polls.
This is a plant call.
You can't possibly.
I possibly know he's a great president.
He's doing a great job on the economy and jobs.
Yes, he is.
Jobs are up.
Yes, he is.
Sir, there is.
I listen to the radio.
I look at figures.
I look at everything every day.
I don't just go on what Russ Limbaugh says on the radio what Russ Limbaugh says.
Well, you should.
The fact that you're a state is not correct.
You should listen to me because I'm not lying to you.
I got nothing gained by lying to you or anybody else.
You should listen to me.
I don't want to lie to you.
I don't make things up.
It's nothing in it for me to lie to you.
You need to examine who it is you're believing when you hear jobs are up.
Because, Lewis, it ain't happening.
We're in a depression, Lewis.
I don't even think this.
This is, we're in a disaster here.
It's not good.
Okay, let me ask you one question, Russ.
Okay, when far as health care, I heard you talk about that.
I know that that plan that I'm on, it's a great plan to me, and it's a very great plan as far as the health care plan.
I mean, times people didn't have insurance.
People couldn't go to the doctor.
They were able to go to the doctor and do things that they couldn't do before.
I know some people's premium may have went up, but it has helped more people than it has hurt.
I've never heard any talking positive part about that.
No, it's the exact opposite.
More people have been hurt by Obamacare than help.
Their premiums have gone up.
Their coverage has gone down.
The president lied to them about keeping their doctor and their policy over three years.
What do you like about the plan that you have?
The plan that I have actually is a great plan.
I mean, as far as if you have to go to the doctor, you don't, I mean, you have, you have to pay a premium just like anybody else, but you know, you can get to the doctor, and you don't have to pay a big premium like you used to have to pay just $300 or $400 a month, $5,000.
Somebody's now.
Somebody's paying it.
Somebody's paying it, Lewis.
You need to find out who and thank them.
The taxpayer, just like me, the taxpayer is paying it.
So I'm a taxpayer, so you're saying that other taxpayers shouldn't be paying something?
Well, if you're getting what you used to have for less, then somebody's paying what you used to be.
Somebody's paying your share.
You need to find out who they are and thank them.
That's why I need to thank them.
Yeah, because somebody's paying what you used to pay.
If you've got a good insurance policy, somebody's making up the difference because nothing's free.
Oh, no, I never said anything free, but the same thing.
I know, but you said you got a good deal.
Your premiums aren't as high as they were, and your coverage is better.
Well, somebody's paying for that if you're not.
So basically what you're saying is when I was paying my premium every day, every month, $300 or $400 a month, I was paying for somebody else's.
So basically you're saying it's not time for somebody else to work with each other to help you.
No, no, I'm not saying that.
You might have been paying.
You might have been subsidizing somebody else.
My point is you're now being subsidized.
So that make the people that's being subsidized now make them a less person than the people that now and before?
No, it is that you're helping each other.
Just like you speak on your show, America, America, America.
Okay, America is supposed to be a group of people, organizations that are supposed to stick with each other and help each other and come as one, just like you're saying to service people.
Everybody's supposed to stick as one group of people defending the United States, defending the Constitution.
That's what you say you stand for every day, but you're totally different.
You're saying Obama's not doing this, the country's not doing this, but then you do the rhetoric that, oh, well, he should have got Congress permission and all that.
But then if he doesn't get Congress permission, he's because you're all over the board here.
Obama is, by his own admission, tinkling on the Constitution.
By his own admission, he's saying he has to go by his own admission.
Congress won't work with me.
I'm going to do it on my own.
I'm going to do exactly.
By his own admission, he is violating the Constitution.
There's no, this is not a matter of debate.
Anyway, I have gone beyond the length of time I have for the segment.
I'm a little long here.
But Lewis, he's talking, well, a low-information voter, maybe, but he's got, look at this idea.
We all come together, we stick together, we do things together, and that's the Constitution, if that's what he said.
It's not the Constitution.
Coming together, sticking in the inclusion.
Nothing's really changed, Lewis.
If you want it, go get it.
Don't wait for it.
Go get it.
You're not owed anything just because you're an American or because Obama's president.
If you want something, go get it.
And when you get it, don't feel guilty about it.
How are you?
Welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
And of course, whenever we get the chance, folks, to demonstrate what a low-information voter is, we do it.
And we just did.
No, I'm looking for something.
Oh, good.
We've got it.
We've got it.
I got the nag babe demanding that Goodill go.
So we'll do that next hour.
Let's see.
Looking for something on status of forces.
Don't have it.
Don't need it.
Let's go back to the phones because there's not enough time to get into a soundbite thread here.
So we'll go to Catherine in Memphis.
Catherine, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Oh, hello, Rush.
I love hearing your voice on the phone.
I'm just crazy about you.
I've listened to you for over 20 years.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
I'm a member of Rush 24-7.
All my children are Rush babies.
All my friends and family love you and adore you here in Memphis.
Well, I made my day.
Thank you so much.
That means a lot.
And I love your tea.
I love your unsweet tea, as a matter of fact.
It's delicious.
Cool.
Well, you're just, I mean, you're just a dream come true today here.
Well, I just think every day that you're here every day, that I, that you're here and you're helping America.
Thank you so much.
Well, you're welcome very much.
Well, if I had to listen to people like Lewis all the time, I'd really be scared.
Hey, they're everywhere.
I mean, that is, you want to know who's the people voting for Obama.
That's what they think.
That's what they're out there believing.
Well, we're all shaking our heads now because we're all scared about all this Iraq business.
But what I wanted to ask you about, Rush, is really, don't you think really this all started with Clinton when he didn't act the first time the towers were bombed, when the toll was bombed?
I mean, there were so many things going on then, and he took no action.
At least Bush took action.
He even got Congress to vote.
To refresh.
To refresh everybody's memory.
The World Trade Center was first hit.
I guess it's 1993, and it was on my dad's birthday, February 26th.
I remember that, the year.
And it was a dry run, and they had a bomb and a truck too small.
They thought they were going to be able to bring down the tower that they parked that truck in the garage.
And the problem that happened, the Clinton years were famous.
Remember the name Jamie Gorelik and Clinton's attorney generals.
It was during those years in the 90s that the Clinton team decided to treat terrorism as a standard ordinary violation of the laws, a criminal act.
And so there were indictments and investigations by the FBI or the prosecutor's office, and there was a denial of what it really was.
And there then became Jamie Gorellik was the man or the woman responsible for erecting this wall that to protect people's civil rights, the CIA was not allowed to learn any intel the FBI learned and vice versa.
So they couldn't share intel legally so as not to compromise Clinton-era legal investigations.
That, yeah, that, of course, but what's happening now is way beyond that.
And I got to take a break, folks.
Be back.
We have a break here at Top of the Argo.
Come back, and we will swerve into the latest in what's happening in the National Football League.
