Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 podcast.
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane, Rush Limbaugh, back at it here in the saddle again.
Glued tight to the air chair, the throne behind the golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
And I I really did take some time away, folks.
I did I I literally paid no attention to anything.
Well, I did a couple of things, but I paid no attention to anything until I started cramming yesterday.
When I when I finally got back into uh well when I got back home.
And there's some stuff that happened.
Did you know, Snerdley, I had no idea that I was the focus of attention all over the media.
From New York to Los Angeles, Boston and New Orleans, Chicago to Dallas, over this Idris Elba thing.
And I had no idea.
I had no idea till I saw the audio soundbite roster today.
I had no idea.
And I looked at the at the transcript of the of the audio sound bites, and not one of the people, and apparently it was everybody in the drive-by.
Well, you know what it was.
It was the the the Sony hack has caused a bunch of people at Sony to try to oh, have you seen the story about well this?
We knew this.
I mean, we instinctively knew it.
Well, we more than instinctively knew it that there's a big story in the New York Post yesterday about how Al Sharpton shakes down corporations.
And how companies pay him to leave them alone.
How they pay him to ensure that he does not ever accuse them of racism.
That's his income.
That's how he makes his living.
They donate to the National Action Network or whatever it is.
Anyway, in the Sony hack, you know, the people at Sony, they were bending over forwards with Sharpton trying to save their racial reputations, everything.
And one of the things that came out was that the new James Bond uh should be Idris Elba.
This Amy Pascal is an is an African nope, nope, sorry if it's African American, but he's British.
He's uh he's black from British, a great actor, but James Bond's a white guy.
And I pointed this out, and every I mean that, and I even said you probably were gonna see this portrayed as racist.
I had a friend asked me yesterday, watching all the pregame stuff of football yesterday.
And by the way, the lions got jobbed on that past interference call.
I don't care what anybody said, the lions got jobbed on that call.
Anyway, you know, the Cowboys still won, and the Lions didn't do enough to win.
I understand all that.
I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but they got jobbed on that call.
Pass interference call when they picked up the flag.
Anyway, a friend of mine sends me a note.
He's watching all the pregame stuff and the sideline reporters, and he sends me and he says, is it would it be sexist in America today for me to simply say I don't like female sports reporters.
And I wrote, I do damn right it would be sexist if you particularly if you had a microphone and a radio show and you said it.
He said, but I don't mean it's sexist.
I'm I just football's a man's game.
I want to hear male sports reporters talking about it.
I I don't want to see, I think of these women reporters as groupies.
And I said, Well, you better understand it's 2015 now.
You can't say stuff like that.
Uh I mean you can say it, but you you are gonna be accused of being, but I'm not, I have love women.
I got nothing against women.
I want as I fantasize about women, but I I just and I'm not a sexist.
I but I just don't like female sportsmen.
I said, sir, it's and I went on to explain this Idris Elba thing.
James Bond's white.
He's a fictional character created by Ian Fleming.
He's white.
Now they they want to turn the character into a black Brit.
And I made the comment, I know this is probably gonna be racist, but I said that's not who James Bond is.
And what everybody who talked about this, I read the transcript, what everybody who talked about it in the media, forgot to point out and comment on.
I said, okay, in the movie, The Life and Times of Barack Obama, let's cast Mel Gibson as Barack Obama, and let's see how that flies.
Or the life and times of Oprah Winfrey, let's cast Gwyneth Paltrow.
And let's see how that none of them mentioned that I said that.
Anyway, I've got the sound bites, folks.
I don't think I may, I've got so much to do here.
And most of the fun stuff, most of the exciting stuff, is cultural.
It really has nothing to do with politics.
And we've got this poll of all kinds of Republicans on what they think about Boehner and the leadership and what they want the Republican Party to do.
And there's really in it nothing in it that we don't know.
But we'll go through that as the as the program unfolds today before your very eyes and uh and ears.
We've got some people challenging Boehner.
Louis Gormart, our buddy wants to run for speaker.
He was on Fox today, and they said, why?
You don't have a chance.
Why are you doing this?
How many people told Obama he didn't have a chance, and he went for it anyway?
We don't know till they cast the votes whether anybody's a chance, but uh it's all about getting rid of Boehner as speaker, which uh a majority of Republicans outside Washington want to do, and it's not the first time, and every effort has that has been made prior to this has failed.
They say they've got 25 or out of 29 votes here to at least veto Boehner, if not elect somebody in his place.
But they had that before, and it fell apart.
It caved the uh at the moment of truth.
Mitch McConnell, did you see this?
Mitch McConnell, new Senate majority leaders' main goal for the GOP, don't be scary.
What is that?
Is that kind of like we need to do compassionate conservatism?
Don't be scary.
You know what that means.
We gotta shut up Ted Cruz.
Mitch McConnell has an unusual admonition for the new Republican majorities that takes over the Senate this week.
Don't be scary.
Why don't we just acknowledge that we are what the Democrats and media say about us, and then let's announce that we are on a mission here to change who we are, because who we are is exactly what they say.
What is this?
Don't be scary.
We just want a landslide.
We just want a huge landslide victory, and these guys are already starting off in a defensive posture with it, seems the never-ending quest of convincing the drive-bys that the that we are not the way they think of us.
And our buddy Bob Schiefer, Jurassic Park, face the nation, yes.
Bob Schaefer says, He's not seeing the Republicans make any effort here.
He's not seeing it.
He's not seeing any effort on the part of the Republicans to go out and get black votes to get Hispanic votes.
And what what old Bob doesn't understand is that that in the real world, that's what we're not, we're we're not trying to.
The African American vote is 93% Democrat, and we don't want them voting that way.
We want to change their minds about things.
What old Bob means is, well, we better become like Democrats if we ever hope to win again.
We better become, we just want to landslide, then the meme is still.
We've got to become like Democrats if we really want to win.
And so we've got to go out, we've got to get the African American vote, we've got to get the Hispanic vote.
Now, in Bob's world, how do we do that?
Well, we talk about big government, we talk about giving away things, we talk about the enemies they face that we're going to get even with, but that's not who we are.
Who we are is convincing people that that's the wrong path.
Who we are is convincing people, trying to persuade people of conservatism.
But Bob Schaefer's never going to understand that.
And so an effort to appeal to blacks and Hispanics, anybody, any voter, on the basis of conservatism, is never going to be understood as reaching out to the black community.
The only way you can reach out to the black community, the only reason you can reach out, the only way you can reach out to any liberal constituency is to reach out to them as liberal.
If you don't do that, then you're not reaching out to them.
And that's of course not what we're about.
What we're about is persuading and changing people's minds.
All right, let me go to the highlights of the poll, because somebody said to me, and I I don't like this.
I actually really don't like this.
But somebody said to me, this whole Boehner thing and this Republican leadership thing, I mean, until you weigh in on it, uh a lot of people aren't going to know what to think and how to act and maybe even how to vote.
And I asked Snerdly, I said, Do you think that's really true?
I mean, today, am I an entertainer today or am I the titular head of the party today?
Which is, well, you've got to understand whether you like it or not.
There are people waiting for what you think about this.
Okay.
So this massive poll, three days worth of data released.
What I've tried to do here is cull it down to its bare essence.
To the genuine real highlights.
And here we go.
And this, by the way, is a poll that was supervised by Pat Cadella.
It was conducted by EMC research.
It's called the People's Poll.
And here is, as I say here, are the basic highlights, almost 90%.
Oh.
One more thing on this Idris Elba business.
Every one of these media people claimed that the only reason I said it was to be talked about.
Not everyone, but a lot of them said, well, you know, Rush Linbaugh, he pulled off another brilliant master stroke.
Here he is on vacation, and who are we talking about?
Him.
That's not why I mentioned it.
That's not why I mentioned anything.
I don't have to make an effort to be talked about.
I get talked about no matter what.
I hate to think what would happen if I ever tried to get talked about.
But they plugged everybody into the into the personality cookie cutouts that they themselves live in.
I don't say what I say here to get noticed.
That's already happened like 25 years ago.
I really say what I believe.
And it's so hard for people to accept it.
Anyway, back to the poll.
Which I really don't care about because whatever.
Well, I'm not gonna I I don't want to be pessimistic about this, not yet.
I'll wait until there's justification for it.
Almost 90% of Republican voters think the country's headed in the wrong direction.
Knew that.
Exactly on par.
91% of Republican voters say that political leaders are more interested in holding on to their power than doing what's right for the country.
Yep.
Dido.
70% of Republican voters say that they hear news of the economic recovery, but their own personal finances have not improved significantly.
That's an excellent point.
I said that I literally tuned out while I was gone.
there were two things I heard, and one of them was how happy everybody is.
I happened to glance at the Drudge Report Either Christmas Day or the day after, whenever it was, it was close to that.
And it was a story about how everybody's just in a great mood.
And I said, when did this happen?
Overnight.
Everybody's in a great mood.
And the second thing I saw was the economy growing at this 5% rate.
By the way, you know how that happened, folks?
You know what the bulk of the economic growth?
I mean, what is the economy?
The economy is consumer spending, essentially, consumer spending and consumption.
Commerce.
You know what the majority of spending was in the fourth quarter was people spending money on Obamacare, mandated by law.
The vast majority of our economic growth, this was this was made public by Tyler Durden at uh I forgot the website that's on the top of my head, but well known business website.
Over half of the Spending in this country in the fourth quarter was you and me and everybody else spending money on Obama on health care?
You think that was by choice?
I mean, that's not like going out and buying a flat screen.
That's not like going out and buying a new car.
That's because you have to, or because you're scared that they're gonna get a disease and die, or because you're gonna get sick and not have the money to get treated for it.
Purely defensive and then the other people are afraid that they don't, they'll be thrown in jail or be fined or what have you.
Well, some economic growth when over half of it is essentially required by the government.
But anyway, everybody was said to be in a great mood.
And polls are polls, and I think largely they're made to shape public opinion rather than reflect it.
But I decided, well, if everybody's in a good mood, then I'm gonna be.
I have every reason in the world to be if all I care about is things personal to me.
I have every reason in the world to be ecstatic.
If the only thing that matters is things personal.
Oh, by the way, folks, I told Snertley today, you know what?
I've always told you, I'll get back to the poll in a minute.
I really don't care about it, which is why I'm diverting from it as often as I can.
You know, I've always said that I love getting older.
I have.
I've always because I always saw older people as happier than I was when I was young.
And they is because they had more freedom, they had more economic power, they were richer, they were wealthier, they were more successful.
Um, every year, every new year was better than the one prior to it.
It was always the case.
I all when I was 15, I wanted to be 20.
When I was 20, I wanted to be 30.
When I was 25, I wanted to be 40, I wanted to have all that behind me.
I wanted to get where I knew I was headed.
But now, ladies and gentlemen, for the first time, for the first time, it just hit me driving into work today.
It just hit me.
You know, I'm gonna have a birthday coming up here in a week.
Not saying that so anybody will do anything about it.
Oops.
I just saw the clock.
That means.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, household name in all four corners of the world.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program's 800-282-2882.
Okay, so I've always wanted to be older.
And even when I hit my 60s, it was still true.
I always, I never had a problem getting older.
And it didn't panic me, it didn't worry me.
But all of a sudden, driving in today, for some reason, I had the first ever negative twinge about getting older.
So I say I've got a birthday coming up next week.
In fact, it's a week from today.
Don't do anything.
And I said, What is this?
This is totally new ground for me.
Totally unfamiliar territory.
Why am I getting and I thought about it, and you know what it is?
All my fantasies, they've got hardly any chance of coming true.
It finally just hit me.
All of my life, when I was young, my fantasies, every one of them, I had a reasonable belief could come true.
And for some reason I'm driving into data say, well, I guess most of them, there's no chance now.
And half of them, if they did come true, I wouldn't be interested anymore because the people involved are no longer attractive.
So I guess, I guess I'm able to relate to most people now who have a problem getting older.
But mine is not about my actual life.
I have any problem with that.
But the sudden realization that the likelihood my fantasies are going to remain fantasies?
Now that's a shocker.
I'm such an optimist that I've always believed my fantasies were gonna happen at some point, and I was not gonna have to force them, and I was not gonna have to set them up and actively make them happen.
I've always believed they were just gonna happen.
And I'm not talking about weird purvo things, folks.
Don't don't start dreaming here.
Now, when you say fantasies, you know what most people start thinking of.
They start thinking of this odd one.
I'm not talking about those.
Um I have always been realistic to know those were never gonna happen.
But the others that all of my life thought I fought would, well, now there was not enough time.
And it's not just that.
It's that even if they did, I wouldn't care now.
Now that's depressing, isn't it?
That was a bit sobering.
So I had to, I had to gut it up.
I I had to purge all those negative thoughts as I was driving in today, getting a proper frame of mind to do the program today.
And I did.
I pulled it off, so we're ready to go.
Fear not.
Does the name Jeffrey Epstein mean anything to you?
The name Jeffrey Epstein ringabell.
Jeffrey Epstein is the wealthy New York Palm Beach financier, big time Democrat fundraiser, big time Democrat donor, big time friend of Bill Clinton.
And as it turns out, big time friend of Prince Andrew.
Epstein is the guy who was convicted of plea deal.
And I can't actually I can't as a Democrat.
He practically got off scot-free given what he's charged with.
He apparently had sex slaves at his Palm Beach house and in New York.
And Robert Maxwell's daughter Ghlaine is one of his employees and shepherded the whole thing.
Anyway, he pled guilty to one minor charge in all of this.
But the UK Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph now have stories and have been picked up everywhere in the New York Post.
Um because one of the sex slaves, they were under a minors, 17, 16-year-old women who were brought into serve as friends of Epstein.
And some of the friends were Clinton and uh Prince Andrew.
And Alan Dershowitz has been dragged into this.
Uh this that what one of the girls who was 17 at the time all this is going on is now 30, and she is the source for the story that's out there now.
And she says even even Alan Dershowitz was involved, and he's all over television demanding that she go on TV and say it to her face because it isn't true about him.
And so people are starting to wonder, but the politics, okay, why is this happening now?
I mean, this is in the cusp of Mrs. Clinton's next day in the sun.
All this is coming, this is old news.
I mean, what what Epstein did, what was going on at Epstein's house, I mean, he he we he would call you up and say, Well, you like a massage, come on over.
And the 17-year-old girls would do whatever you wanted them to do, and they had his friends over there.
None of it ever stuck to Bill Clinton, except now there's a story that Clinton is identified in the lawsuit.
Now, the woman who was 17 at a time, 30 years old now, claims that she was never asked to take care of Clinton, but that he was around.
But the Daily Mail has a story that Clinton's been identified in a lawsuit against Epstein, who had regular orgies at his Caribbean private island, as well as the Palm Beach House.
I don't know if any of this went on in New York or not, I presume that it did.
I first heard about this over the weekend too when I'm cramming getting ready for today, and somebody sent me a note saying, you know, this this this is this has got to be politically oriented time-wise, because this is this can't be good for Hillary for all this to come up again when it's it's been over.
I mean, he was Epstein went to jail.
He did his time.
Um he had a sweetheart plea deal, and the plea deal, get this.
The plea deal even assures all of Epstein's friends that their names will never be made public.
Their names will never be released.
It's an it's incredible.
And it's the power of Democrat Party politics that made this possible.
The Palm Beach Police were the original investigating agency, and they had all kind, and they're the things they've said, the Palm Beach Police said they had enough evidence to send the guy away for a long time.
By the time the state and federal legal beagles got involved, it got pared down to practically nothing.
And that's just Democrat Party politics coming into play.
I mean, Epstein was a big donor, and he's a big funder.
Clinton flew over the world with this guy.
This guy owns a couple of Boeing 727s or 757s or what have you.
And Clinton was he was Clinton's transportation.
And so the uh whoever is doing this, whoever is responsible for this coming up now, is definitely trying to link Bill Clinton to this if in no other way by association.
And it has to be targeted at Hillary.
Remember all of these millennials out there who think Hillary is the greatest thing since slice for I'll never understand it.
I still don't understand, I I never will, for as adept and attuned to the pulse of the people as I am, I will never understand how Hillary Clinton gets over 10% in any poll.
But she does.
She's the Democrat front runner.
I will never understand it because of the things I know.
But even in an age where we're we're we're entering in this, there's a story in the stack here about young people today and the challenges they face.
And I've read it, and I, and I'll get to it.
I've got to be honest.
The kids today, 20, 25, 30, they've got a whole different set of challenges than I had when I was their age.
It's much more complicated and complex, and it's much more pessimistic.
And one of the things that stands out, like I always wanted to be older.
I wanted to be an old guy.
I wanted to be with those people.
The people young today, I mean, it's Logan's run.
Get rid of anybody over 30.
They want nothing to do with anybody who's an adult.
They don't trust them, they don't like them, they don't want to like, except for Hillary.
Which I don't understand.
But wait till they find out that she was the head of the bimbo eruption.
One of the things they also believe this idiocy of rape on campus is an is a runaway problem.
They believe this stuff.
It isn't.
Just like the cops are not killing black kids every day, but they believe the opposite, and they believe that there's a distinct rape culture all over colleges in this country.
They they've that's what they've been told they believe it.
Well, when they find out that Mrs. Clinton ran the bimbo eruptions unit to destroy women who accused her husband of nefarious things.
That's something that hasn't happened yet.
And I don't know if the Clintons are fair.
This business with Epstein and all this stuff becoming public again, I guarantee you it is aimed at derailing Hillary.
And uh we we all, can we be honest here is voyeur's fault?
We would all, all of us just love once for something to stick to Clinton besides a blue dress.
And nothing ever has.
Even lying before a grand jury, and he's still a biggest star in the Democrat Party, much to Obama's chagrin.
So here comes another opportunity.
Uh and whoever's behind this is clearly trying to embarrass Clinton.
And it's just, it's just guilt by association now, except this latest thing in the UK Daily Mail, Bill Clinton identified in lawsuit against his former friend and pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, who had regular orgies at his Caribbean compound that the former president visited multiple times.
And it goes on to say that Clinton's got phone numbers from these women.
Or that the women have his number, or something like that.
So it's starting again.
The whole business of Bill Clinton and the babes.
And we will just we'll just have to see.
Anyway, um let's see, what was uh Well, yeah, the Republican poll.
I interrupted myself halfway through the first page.
Let's get back to that.
Let's get back to Republican poll.
We left off at 70% of Republican voters say that they hear news of an economic recovery, but their own personal finances have not improved significantly.
And yeah, I remember I told you I saw this news over the break, one of the two things I saw, how what a great mood everybody's in.
And not that everybody is down in the dumps perpetually and and dramatically, but I have not noticed this great mood out there.
I mean, I do in some people, but I I haven't noticed the national great mood.
Yet it was reported it was polling data.
The idea that the country is populated by people in great mood came from polls.
And yet 70% of Republican voters say they hear news of this and the economic recovery, but it isn't something that's affecting them.
Twenty-three percent of Republican voters are confident that future generations of Americans will have a higher standard of living and better lives than we do today.
That's no, 20% 23% are confident.
That's a low, that's a low number.
That's that's that's horrible.
Only 23% of Republicans think that their kids are going to do better than they did.
I mean, that is that is striking.
And that does not correspond to all the polling data of what a great mood everybody's in out there.
19% of Republicans say the government is working for the best interest of the people.
Yeah.
You know, Mario Cuomo, uh, as his name was pronounced by the uh Reverend that passed away.
Uh Mario Cuomo was perhaps the most the biggest, the most profound what if candidate, the Democrat Party has ever had.
Now, Cuomo became nationally acclaimed because of, well, two speeches, but primarily one.
It was his speech at the Democrat National Convention in San Francisco 1984.
A Democrat candidate, and by the way, this dovetails with these two numbers, 23 and 19%.
The Democrat candidate in 1984 was Walter F. Mondo from uh from Minnesota, went on to lose 49 states.
The Democrat convention in San Francisco 1984 was you want to talk about a time when America was in a good mood and was optimistic, and was just beaten the band and in and the country was growing, unemployment was coming down, jobs are being created.
It was the 80s, and primarily it was the last six years of the 80s, but the two terms of Ronaldo's man, in the middle of this recovery from the Jimmy Carter melees, in the middle of it, I mean, we were just starting to boom.
Employment, I mean, folks to the tune of 700,000 jobs a month were being created.
Nobody was being cut back to 30 hours a week part-time, so that the employers wouldn't have to pay their health care.
I mean, it was a totally different time, and it was upbeaten, and the Democrat Party could not stand it.
The Democrat Party could not permit it.
And so here came Cuomo, and I don't even think he was the keynote.
Might have been, I can't remember.
Jesse Jackson gave a speech then, too, that that uh I think it was his second, and it didn't rate as well or get the reviews that his first one had, whenever it was.
Anyway, Cuomo shows up, and he delivers the most pessimistic, dire.
We are screwed, it's over.
This country is in the dawn and twilight of our years.
It's horrible speech I have Ever heard.
And everybody said that it was that speech that launched Mario.
That speech had a lifespan.
Well, what?
Reagan went on to win 49 states.
Just how effective could that speech have possibly been?
But this is how liberalism and the media work.
Cuomo goes out, Reagan's theme shining sitting on a hill.
Great country.
We are just rolling.
Reagan optimistic about it.
We are nothing holding us back.
The Soviet Union is about to implode.
I mean, we're on a roll.
And here comes a Democrat convention trying to deny all of this.
And tell everybody, no, no, no, don't believe that.
Because there's an invisible America you don't see where most of America lives, and it's homeless, and it's and it's jobless and it's starving and it's thirsty.
And it was just the media loved it.
The Democrat delegates loved it.
Democrat Party loved it, but the country didn't.
Yet everybody heralded Cuomo as this great orator and so forth, but that speech couldn't have had any impact.
It didn't help Mondo.
Mondo wanted to lose 49 states six weeks or seven weeks later, whatever it was.
Look, I have to take another break here, folks.
Sit tight.
We'll come back and continue with this after this.
Don't go away.
Just to show you the difference.
Mario Cuomo came out.
It was a full-fledged attack.
His 1984 speech in San Francisco that he was acclaimed for.
You, you, you uh you had to be there.
I mean, it it captivated.
It captivated the media.
And all it was was an attack on Reagan, which makes sense.
I mean, he's a conservative Republican media hated them then as they do now.
But it was also a portrayal of America as the worst of times in any Charles Dickens novel.
And it wasn't true.
It was nowhere near true.
So but just to show you nothing changes, except one thing.
Back then, a Democrat Party attempted to make hay by making everybody miserable and telling everybody how they should be miserable, that if you're feeling good, it's a fraud.
If you're feeling good, it's fake.
Reagan's a liar.
Reagan's a fraud.
There isn't any really good news.
It's all going to hell in a handback.
Really, it was worse than you'll find in any Dickens novel.
This is how Cuomo portrayed it.
Now, the American people didn't want to hear, as I say, Reagan went on to win 49 states, but today that kind of portrayal of America, everybody seems to want to believe.
Everybody now signs on to it.
Everybody it it it's victims everywhere.
It really just uh what?
40 years is not that long.
Uh well, it is, it's a generation and a half, I guess.
But it's striking how optimism carried the day with an inspirational leader, and the best the Democrat Party had to offer at the time, which was Cuomo doing his best to tell everybody that it was all a lie.
The problem, people were living the good times.
They had lived the misery under Jimmy Carter, and it was bad.
So bad that there was a misery index to calculate it for people.
And we had interest rates at 15%.
Unemployment was at way up 12 or 13.
It was incredibly bad.
And we were coming out of that.
And there was optimism, and Reagan made people feel good about being Americans again, and if feel good about the country.
And here came a Democrat Party trying to wipe it all out.
And it didn't work then.
But it hasn't taken them long, has it?
To wipe out that sense of optimism from most people.
And replace it with a constant pessimism.
And, by the way, one of the things about Barack Obama, he wrote about it in his book, and I mentioned this.
He admired Reagan in one way.
Reagan transformed the country.
And that's what Obama wants to do.
He hated Reagan, and he hated Reagan's policies.
And I'm telling you, one of the things Obama is about, one of the things that animates Obama is destroying everything to do with Reagan.
Reaganomics, the idea of tax cuts causing economic growth and a growing private sector.
Obama is hell-bent on convincing people, and he's that's what his tour here is about to start being.
He's hellbent on convincing people that the only way the economy can grow is if government does, and if government's running the show, if government's making decisions, if government's employing you, if government's this.
He's out to wipe out every last positive memory of the 1980s.
That's primarily what is animating Obama.
We'll be right back.
Okay, folks, sit tight.
It may sound disjointed and all over the place, but it isn't.
It all comes together at the end of every three hours.
