Time Text
Greetings, my friends, and welcome you tune to the most listened to radio talk show in America.
The Rush Limbaugh program and the EIB network at 800-282-2882.
And the email address, lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
I just got the official word during the break that we indeed on Friday and the past weekend, we handily set a record, fundraising record in our annual cur-a-thon for leukemia and lymphoma.
There was almost an additional million dollars raised over the weekend.
And there was considerably more than that raised during the program, but with no mentions.
I mean, I mentioned when the program ended on Friday that the telephone number would be active for the weekend, as was the donation page at rushlimbaugh.com, going to be active throughout the weekend.
And an additional million dollars was raised over the weekend.
So once again, a sincere and deeply heartfelt thank you once again to everybody.
Great to have you with us, my friends, as we head on down the tracks.
Marco Rubio announced that he's running for president today.
And there's an interesting story here in the Politico.
And the headline, Tea Partiers rage against Rubio 2016.
Florida activists helped propel Marco Rubio to the Senate, but many say they feel betrayed by him and they will not support his presidential bid.
Have you heard that, Mr. Snerdley?
Have you heard that the Tea Party is fit to be tied over Rubio?
It's about immigration, right?
It came out, but he got his mind right on it.
People don't believe that, huh?
Okay, okay.
They felt betrayed.
He got elected by Tea Partiers, and the first thing he did was join the Amnesty Coalition.
And then he backed out of it, though.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know anything because I don't, well, that, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
I know everything.
But I don't know.
Now, I'm going to have to speculate why Rubio did it.
I don't know that.
I haven't asked him.
My guess is his last name.
My guess is that he fell prey to the identity politics pressure and felt that he had to, given that he's from Cuba and Hispanic.
But he backed out of that.
But apparently, once betrayed, there is no second chance.
If this Politico story is right, what do you mean those people?
You calling the Tea Partiers those people.
Who are you, Lois Lerner?
What do you mean, those people?
What is that kind of mindset?
Wait a minute.
When did you turn against a tea party?
You sound to me like you've turned against those people.
Snerd, look at what Snerdley's telling me is, hey, these people, if you betray them once, if they give you everything they've got and you betray them, that's it.
They're not.
No second chance is not falling.
That's what the political story says here.
Tea partiers, and then they go and they found some Tea Partiers, which amazes me that the Politico knew where to go to find some Tea Partiers.
Most people in the Inside the Beltway political world have no idea where Tea Partiers are, other than in Alaska and Texas.
Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz.
But don't count on many of those original Florida Tea Party supporters to be in the crowd Monday evening when Rubio is expected to launch his bid.
Six years after the movement's initial rallies, marches, and demonstrations, Tea Party activists feel let down and betrayed by their native son.
And they quote somebody here, Chris Ann Hall, an attorney and Tea Party activist from North Central Florida, says, I'm through with him.
He'll never get my vote.
Disappointed would mean that he has an opportunity to restore his credibility, and there is no opportunity for that.
Here's another one, Lisa Becker, who helped run a sisterhood of mommy patriots.
That's a Tea Party group geared toward mothers.
When he was first running for the Senate, I was a big fan.
He walked a neighborhood both inside and outside his district.
He knocked on doors.
He asked what people's needs were, what their issues were.
I was so impressed with that.
And then he got into office.
So once he got into office, he had his sights set high early on, surrounded himself with people who were going to help him navigate Washington to get there.
And in that process, he disconnected from his base.
Whoa.
So the Politico has gone out and found some Tea Party people and make it clear that as far as they are concerned, there's about four or five of them here, that their support for Rubio is over.
Now, do you think that's a little intolerant, Mr. Sturdley?
Didn't they get some mature attitude?
Look, well, I understand.
No, no, I understand.
I think that one of the reasons people are members of the Tea Party is they're fed up with being told and promised things and assured of things during campaign and governance begins and it changes totally.
And what makes the Tea Party different from other groups is they only require one lesson and they learn the realities of political life.
One lesson is all they need.
They don't need to go back and make the same mistake two or three times before they finally get it.
So, interesting that we'll have to wait and see.
His announcement is scheduled for tonight in Miami.
And of course, the drive-bys in the media are having a lot of fun pitting Marco Rubio against Jeb Bush for Florida donors, Florida money, and so forth.
But I still think that a big Republican field is going to be a lot of fun.
It has actually could be a lot of fun in addition to all the other characteristics it might possess.
But I still, I'm going to continue to say what I offered last week.
I do believe if I had the opportunity to be a collective campaign manager for all, if they say there's 16 of them for all 16, I would advise them, whatever you do, focus, all of you, focus on defining your potential Democrat opposition.
The media is not going to do this for you.
We know the media is not going to vet, be it Hillary, be it Elizabeth Warren, be it Biden, whoever they throw up there.
They're not going to vet them.
The media is not going to tell the American voters anything about these Democrats other than to portray them as godlike.
It's going to be up to you guys to inform the American voters who the Democrats opposing you are.
And I understand here, this comes up against some fear because a lot of Republican consultants have convinced Republican candidates that it's a losing proposition to criticize Democrats because that scares the independents.
And once you start being critical, once you look like you don't want to work with the Democrats, instead you just start criticizing supposedly at that point, the independents will abandon you and run right back to the Democrat Party.
I think it's a trick.
I don't think there's anything to it, but there are, nevertheless, a lot of Republicans wary of being critical.
So they'll say, I'm going to focus on my issues.
I'm going to focus on being positive, focus on change.
But you have to also give people reasons, not just to vote for you, but you've got to tell them who your opponents are.
It works every time it's tried.
And I'll tell you something else.
For every one of you Republican candidates, those who have announced and those who have yet to announce, I can guarantee you the American media is going to be defining you.
And they're going to be lying about you.
And they're going to be trying to tell the American voters every negative thing about each one of you they can come up with, even if they have to make it up or even if they have to exaggerate.
And if there isn't a negative word from anybody about the Democrat candidates, you're not going to have anybody with any reason not to support the Democrats.
But you're going to have all kinds of people with reasons they think not to support you.
The media simply isn't going to do it.
And there's nothing wrong with identifying your opponents.
There's nothing wrong with defining them.
There's nothing wrong with drawing a contrast between them and you.
And so far from what I've seen, the Republican candidates are following through.
There are a lot of, like Rand Paul and a number of Ted Cruz, they are spending a lot of time going after Hillary.
She is the presumptive nominee.
And I don't think they should wait till the general election to start that.
That's just me.
And I say that up front, it's not my business.
And there are people whose business it is.
I mean, I'm in radio.
They're in politics.
But I still think that that's going to have to be done.
And the sooner, the better.
And the more constant and consistent, the better.
And you don't have to lie about any of it.
I mean, the Clintons are who they are.
There's plenty of history, as we've established, that young people don't even know about that they need to know.
If you're going to be focused on the millennials, there's certain things that they need to know.
Let me, I'm not sure where I want to.
Oh, I want to grab a phone call first before we go to the break because it's somebody.
I started the program an hour ago by offering congratulations to Jordan Spaith, the winner of the Masters.
And I admitted that this was the first year I'd heard of him.
And he was in the final group last year.
And I don't remember him.
And I said, I don't remember Bubba Watson winning last year.
And I tried to think, well, how can that be?
I watch the Masters every year.
How could I not know?
And we got a caller who said that I do know.
And it's Sam in Nashville.
Hi, Sam.
I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Megan's Rush.
Very good.
Thank you.
Yeah, I just was, I remember specifically, because it was kind of a big deal at the time.
The media kind of went crazy about the fact that Bubba Watson, after winning the Masters, went to Waffle House, you know, and that was a big deal on the left that he would choose such a, you know, such a place like Waffle House.
And you had a good time with it, I remember on your radio show.
So I wanted to just remind you of that, that you did indeed remember him.
Yeah, I remember that now.
Yeah, right.
And that was the next day, or maybe a couple of days after the tournament.
It's not tournament.
When you talk about them, it's the tournament.
The tournament.
I mean, if you go to Augusta, if you get anywhere near there, you don't call it the tournament.
That's a foreign language.
It's the tournament.
And anyway, he's right.
I remember the press just went batty over the fact that here's Bubba Watson, who won.
I guess it was.
Now, Sam, are you still there?
I am.
Was it his second or third green jacket last year?
I'm not sure.
I think it was his second.
He's won a few majors, but I'm not exactly sure.
I think it was his third.
Let's just say it's his second.
If I'm wrong, somebody in the multitudes will correct me as they love to do.
Anyway, second green jacket or third, and he went to Waffle House.
Now, there's a dinner Sunday night on the grounds for everybody.
I don't know how traditional it is that the winner shows up, but I think it is.
So I don't know when he went to Waffle House.
He could have gone to Waffle House that night after winning or the next day, whatever.
It doesn't matter when he went.
The press found out about it and they made fun of him for it.
What is this?
The Masters champion?
And he celebrates at the Waffle House?
Well, you know, they did the same thing.
Cam Newton, a quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, goes to Waffle House after games on Sunday or something like the Waffle House.
It might be IHOP.
I don't know.
One of those places.
And they couldn't believe that.
Here's a guy, a multi-millionaire NFL quarterback going to the Waffle House after a game.
Hey, I like it, he says.
Me and my family like it.
And that's what Bubba said.
And Bubba said, you can feed a lot of people in there for not much money.
So, what do you mean?
You just won the Masters.
They haven't given me the check yet.
These media people there are funny.
But he's right.
I do remember that.
I just don't remember Jordan Spieth being in the final group.
I don't remember him being in contention.
I don't remember watching the Masters last year, but I had to have.
So, well, yeah, there was a lot going on.
Like, what?
Oh, come on.
I would not have not watched the Masters because Russia was invading Ukraine.
There has to be something else that was going on on the Masters date last year that because, you know, I've got the best memory in America.
And I don't remember what I was doing a year ago in that date.
Bubba's got two green jackets.
He won his second one last year.
He went to the Waffle House on the Monday morning after winning last Sunday.
Or last year.
Here's where are we starting on the phones?
Since we already did, we'll let's continue there for a while.
That'd be Dennis in Lomita, California.
Hey, Dennis, I'm glad you called.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
It's great to talk with you.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, going back to Hillary.
Usually, people in the public eye, people in her position, celebrities, politicians, they want to hide the negative and project the positive.
I never worried about that.
Well, no.
But with Hillary, it seems to be the opposite.
So the perception of Hillary is that she's, you know, contemptuous, deceitful, disingenuous, all these negative things.
But we have pundits and people close to her coming out and saying, oh, well, she's the life of the party.
She's funny.
She's personable.
Well, if that's the case, why does she want to hide that from us?
Well, now, wait a second.
I talked about this earlier.
I've had people that are very close to Hillary tell me this.
Rush, you don't know.
She's behind it.
She loves it.
I mean, she's the life of the party.
She loves to play darts.
She loves umbrella drinks.
She laughs all the time.
The question to me is: well, if that's where is that?
That's what I was saying.
Oh, okay, we're on the same page.
Yeah, but you asked, why would they want to hide it?
No, why does she hide it?
Okay, not that she wants to, but why is that being hidden from us?
Well, I don't know that it is.
I'm going to answer the question.
Look, with these people, you have to understand something.
Go on in.
There's an umbrella subject here.
They are liberals.
They cannot be honest.
No, they can't help themselves.
And that's what I was going to say about Hillary.
She can't help herself because she's contemptuous to the bone.
That's who she is.
And she's toxic.
And she resents the fact that she has to hide who she really is.
She'd rather just take off the gloves, drop the mask, expose the fangs and the claws, and tell people, hey, go along with me.
She does.
No, wait, wait.
She does that.
Her image is Nurse Ratchet.
That's why they have to tell these stories.
Well, yeah, she drops it.
Not completely, but it leaks to them.
You're exactly right.
That's why they tell the story.
But you think she ought to drop the.
You think she ought to just be Nurse Ratchet, honestly, all the time and be who she is?
Is that what you're saying?
No, no, I'm saying that she would like to.
She resents the fact that she can't just be who she really wants to be.
You know, a holier-than-thou, contemptuous, disingenuous, whatever.
She just wants to be who she really wants.
Well, if that's true, if that's true, there are two reasons for it.
One thing, liberals cannot be honest in what they believe, so they lie about that.
That makes them already prone to cloaking reality.
They have to hide it.
They can't be honest about their ideas.
They're also angry as hell all the time.
This is what's so unique about Clinton.
He has pulled off this good old boy Bubba act and gets away with it.
But the real liberal, the real committed liberal, is angry all the time.
And Hillary is.
And she's the, I think you and I are speaking at crosshairs.
You think I'm saying the same thing you are, and I'm not.
I'm saying they have to put out these stories about what she's really like.
Oh, she's just fun loving because it's obvious she can't pull that off.
When she tries to be what they say she is, it is the most stilted, unnatural looking and feeling.
Who she is is what difference does it make now?
I am tired of hearing that we can't object to this administration and not be called patriotic.
Screw you!
That's who she is.
Who she is?
I ain't no way tired.
I'm talking to some black people, and so I have to talk like I think they sound so that they will think I'm one of them.
But I really think it's crazy to have to be here.
That's who she really is.
And every time one of these things happens, it's when we get the why do you think this ordinary American or everyday man campaign, this Twitter, phony, baloney, plastic banana?
That's why I don't care.
I don't get off on this.
All right, here's Bill in Arlington, Texas.
Bill, I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
And Meganidos.
Oh, by the way, Bill, before you get going, I just want to clarify.
I didn't mean to be short with our previous call.
All Dennis was saying, and I got this, was that he was just saying Hillary is bitter about not being able to be bitter all the time.
He thinks that Hillary is offended at having to act nice, that she can't be who she really is.
And I got that.
I got that.
I was, yeah, go ahead here.
But you know, Nurse Ratchet always comes out.
Well, she can't.
I know.
And here's the thing.
I watched Hillary's video yesterday, and I was struck by, you know, all the different shots of, you know, just these Americans who all seem to be positive, upbeat, smiling, kind of looking forward to the future, you know, this whole cross-section of people and everything.
And then you get Hillary's Nurse Ratchet voice.
And it was a real disconnect for me, you know, when her voice came on.
And of course, she sits there and then says, Americans should fought their way back to tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.
And the first thought I had was, she's one of those at the top.
She is one of the top, and she's in bed, figuratively speaking, with them.
That's right.
And that's why that's, I resent this.
These guys that come out, Hillary included, try to make themselves out to be the champions of the little guy.
And the little guy, who's always the one that gets a shaft with these people.
And the rich, like we had the story last, the 1% are getting richer under Obama because of corporate cronyism, corporate socialism, whatever it is.
The rich are getting richer.
And meanwhile, all these Democrats voting for Obama and they're going to vote for Hillary thinking that they're going to look out for him and they're going to punish the rich.
I got news for you.
The rich do not get punished by Democrats.
Now, the news media makes you think they're going to get punished.
Taxes are going to get increased or raised or some such thing.
But it never, ever happens.
The Democrat Party is more than it has ever been, the party of the rich today.
And that is not an exaggeration.
So along comes Mrs. Grab Sunbite 7.
Along comes Mrs. Clinton, just like Obama, and trying to make the case that they care about the little guy and all these corporate titans are going to get theirs finally.
And we start talking about income inequality and all that is a cover story for raising everybody's taxes, not just the rich.
Anyway, you mentioned the video.
We have just 32 seconds of the audio of her video.
And this is the message where she said everyday Americans need a champion and that she wants to be that champion.
And at the very end of the two-minute video, it features everyday Americans, just like Bill said here.
And Mrs. Clinton then appears in front of her Chappaqua houses where there have been no everyday people ever on site except for the staff.
I'm running for president.
Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.
Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion.
So you can do more than just get by.
You can get ahead and stay ahead.
Because when families are strong, America is strong.
Okay.
So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote.
Because it's your time.
And I hope you'll join me on this journey.
All right.
Now, Democrats have been saying this for 50, my whole life.
That's been the Democrat Party message.
Somebody answer a question for me.
How come all these groups that vote Democrat are still mired in poverty?
How come all these groups are still angry?
How come all the people in the groups of the individuals that vote Democrat are still unhappy and miserable and still demanding change, still hate Republicans?
Why is it?
They've been voting loyal Democrat for all these years.
The Democrats are going to get even with the rich.
The Democrats are going to spread the wealth.
The Democrats are going to redistribute the wealth.
The Democrats are going to redistribute income.
The Democrats are going to get even with the people making you unhappy.
Why aren't you happy yet?
In fact, I'd put this way.
The people that have been voting Democrat all their lives have never been angrier than they are today.
And they've owned Washington politics for six and a half years.
Where's this utopia?
They promised one.
They've been promising utopia for 50 years.
They've been promising African Americans emancipation, salvation, and who knows what for 50 years.
The African American experience in America is apparently getting worse because they're angrier than they've ever been.
Well, maybe not angrier, but we're approaching the kind of anger we had back in the 60s with the watch riots and all that.
Why?
At what point do people voting for Democrats spouting this BS, like Mrs. Clinton just did, wake up and say, wait a minute, they're not delivering?
Look at the opening line.
Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times.
The deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.
What really does that mean?
The deck is stacked in favor of those at the top.
What is it?
Are we to believe that those at the top have what they have because the deck is stacked in their favor?
So what does that mean?
That the government's given them more than they've given other people?
What does it mean?
Do the people at the top not work?
Do the people at the top not invent?
Do the people at the top not innovate?
Oh, she's saying the rules benefit those at the top.
Well, what are the rules supposed to do to the people at the top?
It's got to be more than tax.
It's got to be more than taxes.
If the rules benefit, that's what the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top means.
And I don't think it is about rules, but I'll discuss that.
I mean, I'll take it on.
You could be right.
I think deck still stacked in favor of those at the top is rooted and they don't deserve it.
And you do.
And you're getting the shaft.
And I'm going to make sure they get the shaft.
Okay, now, if it isn't that, if it means the rules are stacked in favor of those at the top, okay, what are those rules?
And what rules are permitting the people at the top to stay there?
And what is the objective of the rules?
Are we to take the people at the top and push them down?
What's the point here?
What's the message?
When Mrs. Clinton, if you're an average Democrat voter and you cheer this and you hear Mrs. Clinton say, a lot of Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.
Well, what are you expecting Mrs. Clinton to do to those at the top?
What is your average Democrat voter expecting?
Because I guarantee, well, okay, take them down and not, well, it didn't happen.
They've been expecting it for 50 years is my point, and it isn't happening.
Every year, Gates and Buffett are in a contest over the world's richest.
Last I looked, no Democrat president has taken them out.
Every Democrat president, in fact, has sidled up to them, want to kiss their butt.
I haven't seen any, I haven't seen the government go, they make this notion of raising taxes on the rich and so forth, but yeah, but rich Republicans, of course, but that's the point.
Everybody at the top is said to be a Republican, and most of the people at the top today are Democrats.
Dirty little secret.
But no, seriously, even if you don't get this deep into it, this has been the message for 50 years.
And the people voting for people like Mrs. Clinton, Barack Obama, are angrier than they've ever been.
They're unhappier than they've ever been.
How can that be?
The Democrat Party has been looking out for the little guy, as I say, for my entire life.
And the little guy keeps losing more and more.
The little guy keeps losing a little economic freedom, a little real freedom.
The little guy is finding it tougher to hold on to Obamacare, tougher to send his kids to college.
How in the world is voting for these people helping?
And of these interest groups that vote for the Democrat candidate 90, 93% of the time, why are they as angry as they've ever been?
And why are they continually enraged and unhappy?
What good is voting Democrat doing them?
And yet here comes Mrs. Clinton with the same message just recycled.
Class envy, class warfare, everyday Americans need a champion.
What's Obama been for the last six and a half years if he hadn't been a champion?
For the little guy.
That's what he ran on.
Is Mrs. Clinton saying that Obama abandoned the people that voted for him?
I mean, nobody examines this stuff.
And nobody on the Democrat side ever looks at the Democrat base and sees it for what it is.
It's a collection that is growing.
It consists of tremendously angry, tremendously unhappy, dispirited, enraged people.
Even after six and a half years of their party running everything.
No, I know the intellectual answers to this.
I know the impossibility of the Democrat agenda.
I know there's no utopia.
It's not possible.
I know that Democrat policies do not create prosperity.
I know all that.
They don't, though.
It's my point.
They've been waiting 50 years for these votes to pay off.
And they're nowhere nearer paying off than they were on day one, 50 years ago.
Here's William from Indianapolis.
It's great to have you, sir, on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
How are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Good.
I'm your same age, and I'm a golfer, and I go back to you with that mouse and the Pam in the trash can.
That goes back with that.
That's back to day one.
A couple of things.
Watching that tournament yesterday, watching great strategic golf, it was like watching a young Ben Crenshaw.
And I'm all fired up, and then at the very end, I channel Surf, and I see Hillary's logo.
And I thought, what is this arrow pointing to the right?
I mean, I know that they do all sorts of studies.
You know what it looks like?
It looks like it's the logo to the emergency room to me.
I think this low information thing.
It looks like a hospital emergency room logo.
Hillary's logo.
It does.
And plus, it is pointing to the right, which is odd.
Yes, it is.
And I understand you used to say this political spectrum is a circle.
And I thought, well, that might tie into that.
But it's really interesting.
Well, now, boy, you've got a good memory.
You do go way back.
The political spectrum's a circle, not a straight line.
Yeah, I thought I was the same age as you, and you started out in New York right when I started out in my business.
So you remember the mouse in the trash can?
Yeah, you poor Kansas City.
They didn't pay you nothing.
I remember when you were dating online.
And you remember.
No, I never did that.
You're confusing.
That's when the staff wanted pictures of female callers before.
That wasn't dating online.
I never did that.
Never did.
No, no, no, don't tell people that.
That never happened.
That's when you started your binders full of women.
That's right.
But I didn't.
No, it wasn't me.
It was Mario and Bo Snurdley that did that.
Oh, okay.
It was not me.
I did not.
They tried to get dates out of it, but I didn't.
I was above that.
Don't lump me in with that.
You just gotten into New York and the internet was new.
It was new.
You probably remember when I lost my furniture moving to New York.
The driver just got ticked off, walked off the job at a truck stop someplace in, I think it was Kentucky.
And it took Mayflower three weeks to find the truck.
And then they found it in customs.
Their FBI had to get it because it had been abandoned.
They didn't know what was in it.
Yeah, they had furniture for three weeks after moving to New York.
Anyway, you mentioned Crenshaw.
Crenshaw's is another thing.
I don't quite know how to express this.
Actually, I do.
Let me be bluntly honest.
Given the way things are in the country, I am well aware that if I tell you exactly what I felt and thought watching Crenshaw on Friday, his last round at the Masters, and everything that happened with that, and his interview afterwards, and if I tell you about Speeth and what I thought of, which I did in the first hour, I guarantee you the left is going to come out and make these usual charges of bigotry and so forth.
They just can't wait for it because they're going to think my comments are rooted in race.
And they aren't.
And that's how successful, in a way, the left has been in succeeding the notion of intimidating free speech.
The reactions I had watching the Masters both Friday when Crenshaw was interviewed and watched his final round and his final closeout on 18.
There's no classier individual than Ben Crenshaw, I think.
And I've played golf with him a couple times.
I've had a chance to meet him, and he's exactly the way he was.
What's the great thing about him?
It's just a class individual.
And my only point is it just stood out so much.
Whereas it used to be common.
What we saw from Jordan Spieth, the humility and the respect and the reverence for what he had done and where he had done it, winning the Masters and all that, used to be common.
It used to be common whenever we would see people champions in sports or in anything else interviewed.
Now it's not.
It's rare, which to me is a shame, but it's still comforting to see it.
But I just, if you're just joining us, I had to open the program today with a congratulations to Jordan Speet for winning.
And I just had to make the observation that obviously he comes from an absolute, wonderful family.
It was obvious, and that it had, his family has been a tremendous influence on him.
A class individual, a humble individual, all the way through, respectful of what he had done and where he had done it, how rare what he had accomplished is, and yet he was brimming with confidence, but he was not braggadocious.
You never worried about one offensive word coming out of his mouth, not one obscenity, nothing.
And the same thing with Crenshaw on Friday.
And Augusta, you know, they've maintained their traditions.
It's been a very tough thing to do because the forces of change have been tremendous in this country.
And these forces of change have been arrayed against many of the traditions and institutions that define this country's greatness.
And to me, it was just uplifting, inspiring just to watch this 21-year-old young man.
Like I said, when I was his age, no way could I have came across as somebody who'd lived to be age 40.
He was that experienced, that seasoned, that mature.
And it was just terrific to see.
And Crenshaw, when Crenshaw speaks, he's automatically authoritative.
It just commands respect.
And you know, you're listening to somebody of great, great character.
And I had the same thing, same reaction listening to Jordan Speak.
Anyway, I got to take a break now because I'm up against time, as it seems I always am.
It is the fastest three hours in media in all of broadcasting.
You know, after 30 minutes of the nightly news, you feel like you've been watching for two hours.
Three hours of this program seems like 20 minutes, right?
