Time Text
So we had a drive-by caller.
It called in Mr. Snerdley.
They want to go on the air, but had a question.
Why would a mayor, like the mayor of Phoenix, allow a big prostitution bust after a big prostitution sting the day, the night of and the day after they've just made millions of dollars from tourists because of the Super Bowl.
Why would you?
Why would you put the screws to the guys, i.e., the NFL and players that are bringing the money into the city?
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh here at 800, 282, 2882.
Okay, so here you got Super Bowl, your Phoenix.
Actually, Phoenix did not have the Super Bowl.
Glendale did.
And it's different.
Glendale made the bid.
Glendale, Arizona had the Super Bowl.
Glendale had the host committee.
Phoenix is the generic area, but in terms of actual cities behind the Super Bowl, it was Glendale and the mayor of Glendale has been complaining all week how much money they lost.
They lost millions of dollars putting on the Super Bowl, this guy said.
To which a lot of people said, well, then why did you bid on it, dude?
Well, I don't that depends on what the you wouldn't believe.
Look, I have experience with host committees.
And you wouldn't believe what the league demands that the host committee pay for.
As part, and the host committee is just local donors and and uh hangers on and groupies that donate money to get close.
And there's some civic minded types too that do it and and uh charitable types, but the host committee is the host committee has to I I can't remember off the top of my head, but I've I remember being shocked when when I learned some of the things the NFL demanded that the host city pay for that you would think the NFL would pay for, but no, no, no, no, no.
The NFL holds all the cards here, and if you want the game, here's what you're gonna pay is what you're gonna provide.
But still the question, why would you run a sting?
And by the way, the sting wasn't of NFL players per se, it just happened to nab a couple.
Um but I think it's all about who knows that you got a Super Bowl, you're you'd you're you're in attracting all kinds of humanity there, some of it undesirable, but I don't I don't think it has anything to do with uh uh insulting the NFL just because you grab a couple of guys.
Now I want to go back to this quote before we get back into other things here.
This is something I have been wondering about for the longest time.
I misunderstood a question a caller was gonna ask.
He's asked about player discipline, and he wanted to know about you know why would uh the Seahawks jump offside in the fourth quarter when all they would have had to do that tried to create a safety.
And uh the it was after the interception and and Brady was taking the snap in the end zone, and so they jumped and tried to get a safety and get the ball back.
In that case, I think Brady's Cadence drew him off.
They're so eager.
And Michael Bennett, their best player on defense at Seattle, had just been anticipating snap all day and had been giving Brady all kinds of trouble.
So I think that was the kind of discipline I'm talking, why it look at Marshawn Lynch crotch grabbing, that's one thing.
This other guy, Doug Baldwin, scores a touchdown and pretends to drop his pants, take a dump on the football.
Um in baseball, you have players that do not run out ground balls to first base.
You got players routinely will hit a long fly ball and stand there to play watch it, posing it, and it won't go out, it'll hit the wall, and instead of ending up at third base for triple, they're barely making it back to first base with what should have been an automatic double.
Uh or but in in football, any of these other unsportsmanlike or taunting penalties that players get or unsportsmanlike they get for improper celebrating in the ends.
And the rule is the rule.
Where are coaches on this?
I when I was a kid and didn't run a ground ball out to first base, I got a benched.
I got, I mean, I was coached, I was told you're gonna hustle.
I remember when I played high school football, and I didn't get away with this For very long.
The end of every practice was sprints.
After two hours of just physical torture, here came the sprints.
Sometimes there were 70 yards, sometimes 40, sometimes 65 across the field and back.
And position groups ran with each other.
I was an offensive tackle, so I ran with the tackles and the guards, the offensive linemen.
And I'd always take a look.
As we're doing the sprints, I'd make sure I finished in the middle of the pack.
And eventually a coach should say, first three tackles, take it in.
Well, I was always among the first three because I had been pacing myself.
So one day coach came up and said, Mr. Limbaugh, I notice during sprint, you're always here in the middle of the panic until it's time to go in, and then you're just beaten everybody.
What are you doing?
I said, I'm pacing myself, coach.
He said, you know, Mr. Limbaugh, in football and in life, we don't pace ourselves.
We uh we go all out all the time.
So you're running 10 extra sprints for the next five practices, no matter where you finish.
If it run a ground ball to first base, they got got yelled at, chided.
I mean, this is not how we play the game.
Get a ground ball, you never know.
They're gonna throw it away.
You dig and you get there as fast as you can.
Don't sit there and preen and think that you're automatically thrown out.
Get to the professional level.
And I wouldn't think these guys that need to be coached.
I don't understand.
Professional football players who behave in immature well, I do understand.
That's the point, but why?
Why it's not coached?
Why it's put up with by the coaches.
Now I understand well, the players are getting all the money, and if the coach says, hey, Marshawn, stop the crotch grab, Marshall's gonna say, screw you, buddy.
If one of the two of us is gone, who do you think it's gonna be?
It's gonna be you.
I just using him because he's a recent example.
There's all kinds of people that players that the coaches seem to exhibit no I mean, ridiculous 15-yard penalties that are killer penalties against a team, and a player will get one for stupidest post-play behavior or whatever, and I just do the coaches not take these guys aside after game and said one more time like that, and you're not starting?
I I just it makes very little sense to me.
So that's what I thought I meant by player discipline and the lack of it, because there clearly is lack of plate uh discipline.
Look at this here, folks.
Look at here.
I have a story here.
Fortune magazine.
Um the 317 immunization program is taking a hit, although officials believe rising insurance rates will pick up the slack.
With all the irresponsible spending, look at what's buried here in the president's budget.
Obama's budget cuts 50 million dollars from a vaccine program for the underinsured.
Here it is.
So here we have today the creation of a new war on whoever it's gonna end up being issue.
The Democrats come along and accuse the Republicans of being insensitive and cold hard or whatever it is on vaccinating our kids against measles.
And you know what drives the Republicans on this, by the way, it's their voters.
There are a lot of parents who just do not want to accept verboten what the CDC says about any kind of vaccination.
There are a lot of parents who just are gonna not totally trust when the government says inject this substance into your child.
Especially with all this highfalutin theorizing out there that injection or vaccines cause cause autism, for which there's no link proven, by the way, but it doesn't matter.
Once you put it out there, people aren't going to take the choice.
So the Republican candidates may be all in favor of doing this.
Who knows?
But it's republic, it's not just Republican voters, it's all kinds of people in this country are leery.
Because they, in a legitimate sense, don't trust the government.
Government makes all kinds of mistakes all the time, and people die.
The government is not something you can universally trust because people instinctively know that the government's all about politics.
And so some people are not just gonna bend over and do whatever when the government says you stick that needle in your kid and you vaccinate because we got an outbreak.
Ah, hold on, not necessarily gonna believe what you're telling me, Mr. Government Man, Mr. Government Scientist.
So the Democrats try to turn that into a Republican war on science.
Republicans opposed to scientific evidence about the nature of vaccines and this measles outbreak, which we're only again dealing with because of Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.
We have a measles outbreak.
We have an outbreak of a disease that we have conquered.
So we have open borders, and we have let sick kids with this disease flood the southern border, and now all of a sudden.
This is a Republican problem?
I mean, this is just asinine.
This is absurd the way this is shaped.
Anyway, kind of story here that in Obama's own budget, he's cutting funds for vaccinations.
While the Democrats are setting up this major story that it's the Republicans who oppose vaccines, because the Republicans are backwards on science, and because the Republicans don't have a requisite amount of compassion for our kids, and because Republicans don't have the requisite amount of compassion for our mothers.
You know, war on women stuff.
Meanwhile, when you dig deep, you find it's Obama and Hillary who have opposed massive vaccination orders because of the link to autism, and now Obama cutting 50 million dollars from a vaccine program for the underinsured.
Just it just you can't keep up with it.
But the hypocrisy and the lies that come out of these people on the left, I mean, it's their front and center for anybody who wants to see it and believe it.
And here the CEO of Gallup.
Well, I've always thought Gallup was part of the state-run media.
Always thought of Gallup is almost, not quite, but the official pollster of the Obama regime.
And the CEO, Jim Clifton, has a piece, The Big Lie, 5.6 unemployment.
Here's something that many Americans, including some of the smartest and most educated among us, do not know.
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the Department of Labor is extremely misleading.
Right now we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House of Wall Street about how unemployment's down to 5.6%.
The cheerleading is deafening.
The media loves a comeback story.
The White House wants to score political points.
Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.
But none of them will tell you this.
If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job, if you're so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking, the Department of Labor doesn't even count you as unemployed.
That's what this guy is telling us something.
This is striking.
You, as members of the audience of this program, have known for 15 years what the U6 and the U3 unemployment numbers are.
The U3 number is what's reported.
And what he's talking about, the U6 number does count people who've given up and are no longer working.
The number that's released, this 5.6% number, does not count the millions of people who were unable to find a job in four years and have given up looking.
This guy thinks he is issuing breaking news.
And sadly, to a bunch of low information voters, he is.
So when he says the big lie, 5.6 unemployment, all he's talking about is the U6 versus the U3 number.
And it's these are categories.
U, capital U, letter U 3.
It's just a category U6.
It's another one.
But the unemployment number every month that's reported is U3.
They do not count as unemployed people no longer looking.
The U6 number is the real, and that's up at around 12% right now.
And his point, that's the big lie.
The big lie is that real unemployment is closer to 12% than 5.6.
Now you in this audience have known this for gosh, how many years?
The CEO of Gallup decides to publish It today as though it's breaking news.
And I'm sure to some people it is, sadly.
You know, the the New York Post has a story today that I just I wonder why some things well, never mind.
I know why it makes the news hell perversion cells.
Snurdly, you remember back when we um used to do our flipper updates.
The uh the story over in the UK where a woman went swimming with the dolphin, and the dolphin ended up displaying the flying finger of love or something.
Finger friendship.
The finger of friendship, and the and the woman professed to uh what was it, fall in love with a dolphin or whatever it was.
Well, the New York Post has a story.
A dolphin seduced me, and we enjoyed a torrid year-long affair.
And it's it's a guy.
And it's it's been memorialized in a documentary movie, a documentary movie that premiered at the at the slam dance film festival last week, which I guess is a takeoff on Sundance.
A man details his year-long affair with a dolphin.
Malcolm Brenner, now 63, says he was working as a photographer at the Sarasona Theme Park, Florida land in 1971 when he met Dolly.
A female dolphin.
He tried to remain pure, he claims, but Dolly, the dolphin, seduced him.
He says, Yeah, I first I I discouraged her.
I wasn't interested, Brenner says.
In the movie, after some time I thought, if this was a woman, would I come up with these rationalizations and excuses?
He finally succumbed to the dolphin's advances.
I started rubbing along her back, working my way to her flukes or tail.
And as I was I was rubbing her and moving my hand foot towards her tail, Dolly was slowly rolling around on her long axes.
And then other stuff happened, requiring the mismatched couple to elude the male dolphin so we could spend some time alone.
There's a documentary about some guy.
And I knew this was against the law, Snerdley.
It's not animal abuse when love is involved.
Besides that, remember my prediction.
Once you change the definition of there's no boundaries anyway, once you change the definition of.
But uh okay, so the guy does it.
It makes a document, but the New York Post puts it in.
I guess it's a perfect story for the New York Post.
Anyway, Kathy in Austin, Texas.
We head back to the phones.
I'm glad you waited.
Thanks, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
I wanted to call um I'm from the great state of Texas.
Of course, if you're representative Hastings from Florida, I would be the crazy state of Texas.
Yeah, but he's not my representative.
He uh represents some uh looney tune people to the north of here.
You know, not ours.
Well, that's good to know.
But I wanted to tell you that I I am so glad that you're bringing the immigration um debate into the measles vaccine issue because I have been saying it from the beginning, from the first day I heard it.
How can it not be the people coming flooding across our borders that are not immunized?
How can that not be a factor, a major factor in this deal?
Do you happen to know off the top of your head, it's not a trick question if you don't know there's no wrong answer because I don't think anybody else does.
Do you happen to remember when the CDC officially declared the measles virus eradicated in the U.S.?
Do you remember when that was?
I do not.
It was the year 2000, 15 years ago.
And so now we have an outbreak.
Well, what's ch We uh we conquered this disease.
It was declared eradicated, and now we've got a flood of obviously infected young children from Central America.
And in this whole debate, nobody is talking about that, and nobody is telling us this is why and because in the why is the answer to the solution.
They're scared.
They're scared to tell the truth because if if you if you speak the truth, then you were called um anti-immigrant, you're you know, but the vaccine debate has been going on for years and we haven't really had a problem.
But coincidentally we had hundreds of thousands of people, mostly children, pouring across our borders last summer.
Now uh uh we have a problem, and they want to blame it on a mother that refuses to inoculate her child.
Right.
And the Republicans.
Yes.
So thank you for speaking the truth.
I listen every day, and um I just appreciate it so much.
Well, thank you very much.
I it it it it's the truth, but to me, it's it's simply common sense.
If we have and everybody knows measles have been conquered, they may not know that it was officially announced as eradicated in the year two thousand, but everybody knows they haven't had a measles vaccine.
You haven't had the vaccine vaccinate your kids against measles and how long?
And all of a sudden it's a major outbreak.
Well, what the and how does it not get mentioned?
It's only common sense why this outbreak is happening.
And as I say, it's it's like fighting ISIS or the military Islamists.
We can't even identify the cause and the problem in eradicating it.
So we gotta make up some other phony responsible party like this mother you talked about, or the Republicans were crying out loud.
Staying on the phones.
This is Cranberry, New Jersey, Perry.
Welcome, sir, glad you waited.
Uh welcome to EIB Network.
Hi.
How you doing, Rush?
It's like twenty-four degrees out here.
I'm walking my uh my cock spaniel little lulu.
Twenty-four degrees, and it what's a wind chill.
Uh it's it's even colder than that.
I'm not even taking that in.
It's like the actual d the actual temperature is I'm looking at now twenty-five.
I was up there.
I was we were up in New Jersey on Saturday and a wind show was like ten.
Yeah, man.
So I put on my uh I put on my suit jacket instead of just wearing a shirt sleeves, and it was cold.
So look, this is what I wanted to say to you.
Yeah.
Um about an hour ago before I took a little Lulu out, I was watching the TV and it said that Standard and Poor's is gonna have to pay a one point four billion dollar fine for its role into the two thousand and eight crash.
And what that is is that you know, I hear you say all the time that liberals want free stuff.
Well, I'm a ri a liberal and I don't want free stuff.
Even though I didn't mu make a lot of money in my life, I'm sixty years old.
I was investing and I had a broker, and the broker told me that these mortgage backed securities were triple A rated by standard and course, and I should go ahead and buy them.
What a crock that was.
Excuse me?
What a crock that was, triple A rated, subprime mortgages were standard and cores.
And so it turned out that when it crashed, not only did I lose my money, yeah, but my tax money had to go bail out um Wall Street.
Yes, exactly.
And so as a liberal, I don't want free stuff, but I want to make sure that somebody keeps uh regulates and keeps an eye on what these people do, because so far we found out Rush that the honor system just doesn't work.
And that's what that's what regulations are for.
Okay, so uh what is your real point here?
Are you are you calling as a liberal to say we knew need regulation?
Are you translating that to the vaccines or are you just talking about something entirely different to vaccines that oh no, I'm I'm not talking about vaccines at all.
I'm talking about what you know, the news that just came on on the the news an hour ago.
Okay.
That now we're starting to find out that the reason why the you know the whole economy crashed was because the Bush administration was looking the other way while Wall Street did what it did no, that's not why the economy crashed.
It's not.
No, it's not why the economy crashed.
A I lost I lost half of my half half of my uh net value that that year.
Thankfully it came back.
It big time.
I triple my my net value.
That must have happened in the Obama administration then.
That I that I tripled it?
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
I figured that's well I mean it had to be the honor But the honor system doesn't work.
Rush, the first thing that the Republicans did when they just got in in this new in this new um this new Congress was repeal Dodd Frank, because Dodd Frank was put in there to make sure that companies like Standard of Course couldn't lie.
It hasn't been repealed.
They didn't repeal it, but they took away a lot of the regulations.
No, they haven't.
They've wanted to.
They have they announced there and they made a proposal, but it didn't go anywhere because the Democrats oppose it.
Obama's not going to sign it.
Dodd-Frank is still alive and ready and is able to punish financial...
You've got this...
The bondage system don't work.
We don't want free stuff.
We just don't want to get swindled.
Okay, now I understand what this is.
This is out of left field.
You know, I'm I'm struggling here to read a late.
This is an open line Friday call, and I don't know it.
I'm the last to figure it out.
Okay.
This guy's calling in relationship to nothing that we've talked about today.
He's just a liberal and he's offended that I say liberals want freebies.
And he's calling to say he's a liberal and he doesn't want freebies.
He just wants what's due him because the economy crashed when the Republicans were in the White House, and and uh because the honor system doesn't work.
I just thought we're worn out.
Let's get worn out, especially when now the subject of the subprime mortgage.
The one place, the one place where somebody tried to stop that from happening was the Bush administration.
The effort might have been half-assed, but they at least tried.
I can get audio sound bites for you of Barney Frank telling regulators to go pound sand as they were trying to rein in what was happening.
Honor system, my foot, there wasn't any honor system, and nobody ever claims the honor system.
You think you get this idea that we here are totally opposed to regulation, that we are for unfettered, unchallenged, unregulated capitalism, and nobody's ever made such any such assertion.
It's like it's your turn to call talk radio, and it media matters you gave you this topic.
So here you're reading from the script.
Oh man.
Um the subprime mortgage crisis was birthed by Bill Clinton.
It was fueled by Jimmy Carter.
That'd be birthed by Jimmy Carter fueled by Bill Clinton, and it was sent to the moon on a rocket ship by the Democrat Party.
And it was the it was it was based on the premise that it's unfair that people that can't afford houses don't have them.
And the government made lenders, I can't believe I'm going through this again.
The federal government, starting with Carter into Clinton, demanded that banks, Janet Reno threatened the banks if they didn't do this, demanded that the banks loan money, lend money to people that could never have a prayer of paying it back.
And if they didn't do that, they were going to be investigated by Janet Reno and the Justice Department, and all hell was going to be breaking out against them.
Okay, so these banks and institutions are told they've got to make these loans, which nobody in their right mind would make.
So what did they do?
They figured out a wake is not anything is static, you see.
Clinton and the boys thought the banks would sit there and suck wind for a couple of years in order to make Clinton look good and compassionate so he could say, look what I've done for homeownership.
But the banks said, you know what, we're not gonna lose money here.
We're not gonna loan money to people that can't pay it back and sit here and go out of business.
So what they did was package these worthless loans into what became mortgage-backed securities.
And you know what?
They were worth nothing.
They started out being worthless and they stayed worthless, but they were packaged.
What they did was pool all these mortgages.
And then they sold them.
And they sold them on the basis that all these mortgages combined were going to produce this millions of dollars worth of income every month.
And so those worthless mortgage-backed securities were purchased under the belief that there was massive amounts of monthly incomes via the monthly payment that all these mortgages were going to create.
And as each buyer of the worthless mortgage-backed securities learned that they had bought nothing, they continue to repackage them into something that some other sucker would buy until there weren't any suckers left.
And that's when we got the financial crisis.
And that's when they all had to be bailed out.
And that's when the Bush administration and everybody fell prey to the crisis presented to us by Henry Paulson and everybody else that if we didn't bail out these banks, which the government had demanded make these worthless loans in the first place and backed by the Democrat Party,
but it was their idea, Bill Clinton and his alone, with Barney Frank and Freddie Mack and Fannie were all involved in this, and it was all designed to make poor people experience the American game of homeownership because it wasn't fair, don't forget that people who couldn't afford a house didn't have one.
Well, it was not just poor minority people.
It was a large block of it, but it was it was it was minority based, but it wasn't just poor minority people that didn't have houses.
There's a bunch of poor white people that didn't either, and they were they were part of the.
It was all a ruse.
It was all a ruse to show how compassionate the Democrat Party anyway.
And it had been sold and sold and sold.
All over the world, the stupid, the smartest bankers in the world who bought worthless paper time and time again, then claimed they needed to be bailed out because if they weren't, the world economy was going to collapse.
And so Henry Paulson got his guys together and he said, Do you like your second and third homes in the Hamptons?
They said, Yep.
You guys in California, you like your second and third homes in Lake Tahoe and Palm Springs?
They said, yep.
Do you like your private jets where you're flying your dog and kids around?
Yep.
Well, then you're gonna sign this piece of paper demanding that you want $35 billion minimum from the government.
The Wells Fargo guy said, I didn't do this.
I didn't join this parade, I don't want to bail out.
Paulson said, You're not getting out of this room to you, sign it.
So they all signed it, all the banks did, making it look like every bank needed to be bailed out.
That gave us TARP and a number of other things.
All to save the global economy.
Now, what's the caller's name?
Perry.
Perry, I know you're still out there.
If you want to know why all of this happened, and by the way, you found yourself because your dollars were used to fund mortgages for people that had no money to pay them and had no money, no business being given them.
If you want to know why all that happened, the Democrat Party behaving under the auspices of liberalism, led by Jimmy Carter, the first fool to get involved.
Bill Clinton saw a great idea and tried to expand on it, got Janet Reno threatening the banks.
And it was people in the regulatory agencies that you seem to love here during the Bush administration that were trying to get accountability into this and to shut it down, and it was democrats led by Barney Frank of liberalism, which was doing everything they can to intimidate these regulators to shut up and go the hell away.
This one's owned from beginning to end by the Democrat Party.
Now, there may have been some Republicans involved in this bailout, and Paulson, who knows what he was, he was part of Bush administration engineering all this.
But this was a bailout, and what do you think quantitative easing is, buddy?
That is more of your liberal democrat banking buddies being given money printed by the Federal Reserve so that they can enjoy profits through the roof in the stock market.
Everything you're supposed to hate is propping up Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.
You ought to be out there decrying every day that Wall Street has a big gain.
Because the reason it's happening is that the insiders are taking care of themselves.
The Fed's printing money buying stock with it.
You want to know why there's a big gap?
Wealth distribution gap, why the rich keep getting richer?
What do you think is going to happen if the Fed is going to print three and a half trillion dollars and essentially give it to the stock market?
You think people in the stock market, Perry, are going to do okay.
Now who's in the stock market?
Who do these people at Wall Street vote for, Perry?
Same guy you voted for.
You realize under Barack Hussein, oh, this this income distribution gap, the income gap, the the uh whatever however it's portrayed, the wealth gap, income gap, inequality, what it has skyrocketed under Barack Obama.
It's just mathematics.
You print three and a half trillion dollars, and that's not an error called quantitative easing is to make sure the stock market didn't plummet with the rest of the economy.
Because the masters of the universe are gonna take care of themselves and not become paupers.
If they control the money, if they control the printing presses, why in the world should they ever go broke?
That's the way they look at it.
That's the value of going to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, whatever.
Anyway, gotta take a break.
How did that call happen?
I'm still...
All right, here's Randy, Minneapolis.
Randy, great to have you on the EIB Network.
Oh, it's my honor to speak with the great one.
How are you doing, right?
Fine, sir.
Thank you very much.
Well, I I just had a comment on that Sea Heark Patriot game.
Uh I think Carroll made the right call, tell you the truth.
He uh, you know, Lynch was one for five in that situation in the past, and uh I tell you that pass is rarely intercepted in that in that area, and I think Russell uh just uh overthrew the pass just a little bit right into the Patriots' hands.
Well, that's actually not what happened, but I understand I look I I don't mean to sound mean saying that's not what happened.
I d I don't mean I'm not being disrespectful, Randy, because I I know that there's some people think it was a good call.
You're one of them.
And that had they executed, everybody talking about what a brilliant call it was, and that happens to be true if they'd executed.
But they had the wrong receiver chosen.
They had they should have chosen some guy six, four, six five, or should have they gonna throw it, do a fade route in a corning end zone where if it's incomplete, it's no way intercepted.
This route, they gave it to this guy Lockett, who had not done much all day.
Did you see the way he got bounced off his route by this cornerback?
And the reason he got bounced off of his route is because the pass was ill thrown.
He led the receiver.
He should have thrown that ball over the receiver's back shoulder, where only the receiver could have caught that ball.
The only thing the cornerback could have done was maybe deflect it.
But he led the receiver, and had he not done that, he's close enough not to have led.
He could have just fired a dart right in the receiver's gut or on that back outside shoulder.
So the cornerback couldn't have gotten to it.
What but your point is that that uh it was Wilson's fault, and to I don't disagree with that if you're gonna analyze the play for what it was.
But I still think it was the wrong call.
And if you if you're held in a throwing a pass, you've got this guy Matthews.
Now I know that the the Patriot defense had put a different cornerback.
Who they they took Errington, Kyle Eric has been burned by Chris Matthews.
They took Arrington and they put a taller cornerback on Matthews, and that cornerback shut him down from the moment they made that change.
So but you still go with your six five guy on a corner fade route, and if it's incomplete, it's incomplete.
You still stop the clock and you've done your precious pass play, as Carroll said.
Um Matthews, the receiver, he's got a good future.
He's fine, he's gonna be fine.
Uh anyway, uh let's see, uh Fred in uh in Wilkesbury, Pennsylvania.
Hi, you're next on the EIB network.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Uh, I'm in Wilkesbury.
I'm actually a truck driver from Akron, Ohio.
But uh just to follow up on that previous caller, I Also have the have the take that it was a good call.
Uh something that's not getting attention though.
Uh the touchdown was there except for one thing, the New England rookie that made the interception.
I wonder why he doesn't get any attention.
Well, he's starting to.
I mean, I that that in the in the shock of the disbelief of the call.
The focus obviously on the on the coaching staff of Patriots.
Now, as time is passing, they are focusing on Malcolm uh Butler.
Brady's gonna give him the truck that he won for MVP.
He's gonna give it to Malcolm Butler.
Malcolm Butler makes it league minimum.
He's an undrafted rookie free agent.
Which I think rookie minimum is five hundred grand, you know.
Brady and Giselle spend that in a day.
So he's gonna give him the truck.
Um but I st uh yeah, good call.
I mean it w it wasn't a good didn't work.
Well, uh if if that rookie didn't have it figured out, well then Seattle brilliant.
Uh I'm not yeah, yeah.
I'm I'm out of time here.
I've got to go here.
I wish I weren't, but I am.
So well, just like gay marriage, Obama has evolved on vaccinations.
Josh Ernest, a White House spokesman, says Obama doesn't believe today what he believed in the campaign of two thousand eight.
Audio soundbite's coming up.
