Time Text
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rushlin ball behind a golden EIB microphone broadcast excellence.
Yours, it is Friday.
That means live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
That's right, we're going to get to the phones in this segment.
That's right.
The monologue segment of this hour, we will actually go to the phone.
Stand by 800 282-288-2.
If you would like to be part of Probably.
The lines are all full, but give the number out.
Keep trying.
You never know.
If you want to send an email, it is L Rushbow at EIB netcom.
You know, and a side here about you stop and think of this.
New York Times.
It's a real hit piece on Marco Rubio.
17 moving violations in Miami in Florida, 17 traffic tickets.
Now only four of them are his.
The remaining 13 are his wife.
Now let's contrast.
You know, you've got you've got uh Mrs. Clinton and her husband, and they're out there trying to say that they just like ordinary everyday people.
By the way, the polling number on Mrs. Clinton on the question uh understands, cares about people like me, it's getting worse for her.
That is the exit ball question that I saw 2008 or 12 rather that had Obama beating Romney 89 to 81 to 19.
I knew if that was true, the election was over then.
And I second exit poll question that 60 some odd percent still blame Bush for the economy after four years of Obama.
I said, Well, this is academic, it's over.
But the Clintons have been trying to portray themselves ordinary.
Uh Stanford Little Guy and so forth.
You know, here's Marco Rubio.
17 moving violations, and I can't find any evidence in the story where he did one thing to try to get any of them taken care of.
And his wife had 13 of them, and the story makes it clear that he went out and hired her a lawyer, and but he did not use his power as a United States senator to have anything done with these moving violation tickets.
He didn't try to get them fixed, he didn't get taken care of in any way, he dealt with them.
Add to that, he and his wife are driving themselves around.
The Clintons don't even do that.
You think if the Clintons had 17 moving violation tickets, that they would not have tried to get any of them thrown out?
Fat chance.
So let's now head to the audio sound bites.
Sheila Jackson Lee introducing Hillary, this in Houston, Texas Southern University.
See if you can follow this.
It's well, just see if you can follow this.
Apparently, those who do not understand, as did President Johnson, did not understand the value of this right to vote, are still trying to understand.
Some do not understand even today.
Hillary Clinton understands.
Hillary Clinton understands that the right to vote is the most precious of rights.
She understands that her work continues on.
And she understands it because it preserves all other rights.
And right now, the right to vote of all Americans needs a champion.
Anyone know what she said there?
I mean, I got the last half of this.
She's trying to make Hillary out to be a great champion for the right to vote, which means that Hillary is attempting to suppress the vote.
Hillary is trying to garner the vote for people who were not registered to make sure they can, while at the same time suppressing other forms of voting.
This is this is uh classic Democrat strategy.
Do what you accuse others of doing.
But Sheila Jackson Lee, remember this is the woman who was who was looking at a uh uh a video of the Mars rover tooling around on the surface of Mars and asked if it was gonna go over to where the astronauts had planted the flag back in 1969.
And everybody in the room, kind of looking around.
Well, geez, I'll answer this.
He thinks we're on the moon here.
See, we've been to Mars.
It was kind of like when Al Gore was uh was it was, I guess it's either Monticello or or Mount Vernon walking around their presidential busts there, and uh he points at Benjamin Frank says, Who's that?
And the curator says, Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Benjamin Franklin.
So Sheila Jackson Lee, apparently those who do not understand, as did President Johnson, did not understand the value of this right to vote, are still trying to understand.
Some do not understand even today, but Hillary Clinton understands.
She understands the right to vote's the most precious of rights.
She understands that her work continues on, and she understands because it preserves all other rights.
So this is what we get as enlightenment from the Democrat Party.
Now here's Mrs. Clinton, brilliant politician, forthright, honest.
In a sane world, Mrs. Clinton wouldn't be anywhere near the Democrat Party nomination.
In a sane world, people would figure out the woman is an albatross and has nothing to offer and has really accomplished nothing.
But we don't live in a sane world, particularly when talking about the Democrat Party.
Here's what she said.
Republicans are systematically and deliberately trying to stop millions of American citizens from voting.
What part of democracy are they afraid of?
I call on Republicans at all levels of government with all manner of ambition to stop fear mongering about a phantom epidemic of election fraud and start explaining why they're so scared of letting citizens have their say.
Now what in the world is she talking about?
She's talking about one thing, and that's voter ID.
They have tried, and apparently they've succeeded.
The Democrats have succeeded in convincing African Americans that having a voter ID, have a photo ID on your voter card, an ID card is a way to guarantee that you can't vote.
Now figure that out.
How in the world does that keep you from voting?
It's absurd.
Now we know what Mrs. Clinton's trying to do.
She is feeding off a paranoid conspiratorial view that has been promoted by people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
And it's resulted in a bunch of African Americans, mainly elderly ones, who do not trust the whole idea of having to go anywhere in government to get a photo taken to put on an ID.
They think they've been told they're being singled out for either being arrested for something or whatever.
They they think that this is a trick by the government to identify them and charge them with a commission of a crime.
So they aren't gonna go get their picture taken.
Even if it's free, even if the government, the state governments offered to do it free.
The Reverend Jackson and Sharpton have convinced African Americans that it's a trick.
And so Mrs. Clinton's building on that and claiming that all of this, a photo ID to vote, when you need one for anything else in our country, is nothing more than a trick to get you arrested.
And then in the same breath, accuses the Republicans of all forms of trickery and cheating.
This is insulting.
And it's exactly why so many African Americans are suspicious of things that they really ought not to be suspicious of.
Everybody else has a voter ID, a photo ID.
It's required.
You need a photo ID to do anything in this country.
How are these people you know?
I'll tell you the real sad thing about if you're sad.
Look at all of the things that you need a photo ID for that Democrats, people that vote Democrat are apparently unable to do.
The Democrat Party is convincing so many of their voters not to go for this.
Do not go and get a photo taken for an official photo ID.
Look at all the things they're not able to do as a result of that.
Which, when you stop, think of it, probably exactly what the Democrats Want.
The less people can do on their own, the more they need government.
Now, these minority voters are voting in Democrat districts with Democrat poll watchers, with Democrat election officials.
They're being picked up by Democrat chartered buses.
They're being driven by Democrat drivers.
They are in Democrat blue cities.
They are in Democrat blue states.
How in the world do the Republicans have a damn thing to do with anything when it comes to these people voting?
I mean, where is she here?
She's in Texas.
She's in uh in Sheila Jackson Lee's district.
It is not a Republican district.
It's a straight Democrat.
It's old Mickey Leland's old district.
The Republicans practically don't even show up in this district.
And it's like this all over the country.
Here's Hillary or take your pick, any Democrat warning these people that the Republicans are out to get them.
The Republicans are out to make sure they don't vote.
The Republicans want you to fall for the trap of going to get your picture taken because what the Republicans want to do is arrest you and put you in jail with all the other African Americans that are there illegally and unfairly.
And so the African Americans say, we're not falling for your trick.
We're not going to go for this photo ID because you're just trying to fix so I can't vote.
Which is senseless.
And again, the point is, every one of these people lives in a Democrat district, driven to the polls by Democrat bus, a Democrat driver, you got Democrat poll watchers.
Hell, many of these people, if they showed up, could probably vote two or three times.
Who's going to stop them?
You go through the line as who you are, then you go back and say, I'm somebody else's look, uh I don't find you here, but that's okay.
Go ahead and vote.
It's probably our fault.
Now Republicans are striking back at this.
At uh Hillary's suggestion that they have tried to disenfranchise voters.
Governor Christie of New Jersey said in New Hampshire that Hillary Clinton wants to have an opportunity to commit greater acts of voter fraud around the nation.
John Kasich in Ohio said on Fox News that Hillary is dividing America.
Notes that Ohio has 28 days of early voting, while her home state of New York doesn't have any.
See, what does that mean?
See, early voting?
What it's a tantamount admission.
Early voting is an assistive aid to African Americans.
I mean, everything that we've done in this country has been predicated on the notion that life has been made unfair for African Americans because this country was rotten from the day it was founded.
And so any number of policies have been developed to show African Americans that we're trying to change, and we're no longer the way we were.
And we're going to have early voting.
If you want to vote 28 days before the election, we're going to let you do it.
It's specifically done for low-income poor people, African Americans.
Early voting, specifically designed for that.
And yet Hillary still runs around.
Early voting, you know what's really for?
Voter fraud.
The Democrat Party is the architect of this stuff.
In a speech in Houston, you just heard it, Hillary said that Republican governors uh who are running for the presidency are systematically deliberately trying to prevent millions of African Americans from voting.
Meanwhile, it's the Democrat Party that's trying to open up the vote to felons.
And illegal immigrants.
Talking about voter fraud?
What is amnesty all about?
It's a voter registration drive for the uh for the Democrat Party.
Quickly to the phones before we have to hit the break here, and I promised we'd get the phones in this segment, so here we go.
Mike, uh on the big island in Hawaii.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Good morning, Rush.
Great to talk to you.
I just was wondering, you know, with so many things being turned on its head, like the gender trans transformation and all of that.
I'm just wondering, how long do you think it's gonna be before a man who has chest implants who still considers himself a man asking society to allow him to walk around without a shirt because he's still a man.
Um fascinating thought.
Fascinating thought, Mike.
How long you've been thinking about this?
Um just this morning, when I when you touched on the gender thing again, I didn't start thinking everything is not what we used to know.
And before we know it, we're gonna have to be asked to accept things that are just gonna be so shocking.
Right, no, no.
I got see, I'm a literalist.
That's why I'm the mayor of Reeville, so uh realville.
So when you talk about the day coming where a man can go get chest implants, breast implants, so that he can then walk around without a shirt.
A man can do that now.
Yes.
Can walk around without a shirt.
A woman, well, it's not long.
Uh can't.
Yeah, but why would uh why would a guy need to go get breast implants in order to be able to you mean to make the case that women are being discriminated against, but if it goes against breast implants and then goes around without a shirt, hey, I'm a guy, I'm a guy.
I just happen to have breast implants.
You can't make me put the shirt on.
Is that what you're thinking?
Well, exactly right.
Like when you're on in on the big island in Waikaloa when the waiter wanted you to stop um venting your um vapor cigarette.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember because of what it looked like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, that's he's exactly right.
You remember that story?
Oh, yeah.
It was at the it was at the Four Seasons Bar right down there on the beach after playing golf.
I would I was I was uh I was smoking electronic cigarettes.
You've got a great memory out there, Mike.
Well, Bruce, uh uh um Rush, the only thing I miss about that story is that I wasn't on the Waikaloa side of the big island watching you enjoy your meal because I never get to meet you.
So we weren't eating, we were at the bar.
We were consuming adult beverages, and I was having a cherry-flavored e-cigarette.
Yes.
And and the manager came up.
The manager came, Mr. Limbo, I'm sure you understand that we're serving food here uh and uh state regulations prohibit smoke.
I said it's not a cigarette.
He says, not.
Oh no, no, no.
It's an electronic cigarette here.
And I exhaled some water vapor, which is what looks like the smoke.
And he said, Well, that smells good.
I said, That's right, it's not.
It's water vapor.
There's no tobacco in this.
It's pure water vapor, it's got nicotine in there.
Chemical reaction takes place, heats up, and uh that's all it is.
It's a it's a nicotine delivery system without tobacco.
Okay, fine and dandy.
No problem.
He comes back in a half hour.
Mr. Lindbaugh, I must ask you to stop.
There's a uh a woman says that it's setting a bad example.
It looks too much like a cigarette.
I told her it's not a cigarette, but she said it's looks too much like one, setting a bad example for young people.
There weren't any around.
Uh and and it it just it's it's not permitted, and it looks like a cigarette, and and she just would would you please would you please?
I said, Are you officially asking me to put this down?
Well, no, but it would really help me because the woman it's how many who is it?
He said, I'm not gonna tell you.
How many of us?
Is this one woman?
So I looked around and I scouted her.
Yeah, I mean, very, very secretively.
I said I looked around.
I found out who it was.
And you could just tell by looking, this is a nanny nanny busybody, probably a Democrat, who was upset at a bunch of people having a good time.
And I was nowhere near her, and even if I was, this would not have bothered her.
It's water vapor.
Mike, great memory.
Quick timeout, back with more at the disc, no problem.
Greetings, welcome back, Rushlin Bob meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Ladies and gentlemen, whatever you might say or think about the the Bush family, they are unfailingly polite.
And they are unfailingly uh considerate.
Did you see this?
Jeb Bush is going to announce his White House bid on June the 15th.
He's waiting until I return from vacation to announce his presidential bid.
Now that is just a sterling example of how polite and considerate the entire Bush family is.
And I know that some people are upset with W for not fighting back during the Iraq war, and people upset maybe that this Bush dynasty thing is not good.
And I'm I'm no no comment on that.
But you have to this this this family is well mannered.
Uh they are exceedingly polite and considerate people.
And take take take the politics out of it, and you you're not gonna find a more decent family or a bunch of people.
And this is this is the opinion.
It's a great illustration.
Jeb Bush, he could announce his run for the presidency any day that he wanted to.
But he has decided to wait until I return from vacation.
So that when he does this announce, when he makes the announcement that I am here, you don't find that quality in too many people.
And I'd I I'd be remiss if uh if I didn't point that out.
Uh look at this.
The Senate is voting to block NFL patriotism for profit.
You know, this uh story that the military was paying for all those pre-game celebrations of the military.
Uh wait, do you hear this?
Your phone calls continue.
Open line Friday, back after this.
Yeah, look at it.
Another way to look at Open Eye and Friday.
What are you interested in?
What do you care about?
This program Monday through Thursday is what I care about.
But you know, there are some days, like everybody, I don't care about anything.
Not saying that Friday's one, but I'm just saying there's some days I don't care.
Like I but I'm fascinated to know what you care about.
See, if you think about Open Line Friday in that way, go for it.
By the way, this New York Times story, this expose, this hit piece on Marco Rubio and his wife, 17 moving violations.
You know where the New York Times got the data for the story?
Take a wild guess.
The New York Times did not do any reporting on this.
Records show that each of the citations mentioned by the New York Times were pulled in person by American bridge operatives on May 26th.
American Bridge is a spin-off of media matters.
So basically, David Brock and Sidney Blumenthal went out and were just doing Oppo research, digging up whatever they can find on Marco Rubio.
And the w the reason why, by the way, Rubio and and uh uh Scott Walker right now are the front runners.
And so they are going to be the focus of opposition research, standard operating procedure, of course.
But the New York Times didn't get, I mean, they just sat around and waited for the data to be presented to them by these partisan hacks at Media Matters, now a new new organization offshoot called American Bridge, which is Brock and Sidney Blumenthal.
So the New York Times is sitting there, and uh one day they get an email or a phone call, whatever from Brock and Bloomethal.
Hey, guess what we found?
And they personally, American Bridge people personally went down to Florida and pulled all of these records from whatever database to find out that Rubio has had 17 moving violations, and they go to all excited, oh man, Marco Rubio lawbreaker.
He's got four and his wife thirteen.
But the point is, again, that not one ounce of effort was expended to fix them.
And here he is a United States Senator, and he did not pull rank on anybody.
The New York Times did not say where they got the information, by the way.
They should have reported that.
They made it look like they dug it up themselves, but they just took the handoff, if you will, from Hillary Partisan.
So Hillary Clinton basically got a story placed in the New York Times about Marco Rubio.
Her operative, Sidney Blumenthal and David Operative, uh David Brock.
That's all it takes.
These guys go out and dig up whatever they want to dig up, make it up half the time, this is what they do, and then they take it to the New York Times, and the New York Times doesn't even source it.
They just run with it.
And give it the New York Times stamp of approval.
Here's Steve in uh in Secoro, New Mexico.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Well, thanks, Rush.
Uh 24-7 land of enchantment, general gender neutral ditto.
Land of enchantment, gender neutral dittoes.
Great to have you here.
Hey, it's it's a it's a real privilege to be on here.
Uh people don't realize how tough it is to get on here.
Uh I was just thinking if there's no difference in the genders and it's just a social construct which we've been told, and knowing that there's going to be issues about how to handle transgenders, why don't we go ahead and take advantage of this and just eliminate sex segregate sex segregated sports.
You know, like why do we have the NBA, WNBA?
Why don't we just have the NBA?
And why do we need the LPGA?
Let's just let's just get rid of that, and let's just go with gender neutral, and then we'll solve problems.
And on top of that, what a real benefit is the colleges can do it and then get rid of all their uh Title IX issues.
Well, fat chance of that, Title IX is actually about much more than fairness for women in athletics.
It's used as a bludgeon for a number of things.
But I just want to make sure I understand this now.
You want to get rid of gender identity in sports.
Instead of the LPGA, we just got the PGA.
And it has men and women, and whoever wins, whoever qualifies shows up, men and women.
And the same thing in the NBA.
No, no uh WNBA, just it's the NBA.
And if I mean that's the thing.
If any of the babes in the NBA and the WNBA can qualify to play for Cleveland Clavaliers, then then they play for 'em.
If they don't, they don't.
Is that your idea?
Yeah, that's the that's the idea.
I mean, that's that's equality, and then that's what we're shooting for, right?
No.
We want to No, because what that would point out, what do you what do you think the end result with that would be?
See, that's actually that's a plot that evil Republicans and conservatives would hatch.
Well, but we're it's all everything's about equality now, and uh to me that that's the that's the essence.
You know, even in the age, we have equality it's exactly right, and that what your plan would do would illustrate and and manifest total inequality because not a single woman would qualify to do anything.
But I thought it was just the social construct, these differences between men and women.
Well, the social construct is going to have consequences.
If you get rid of the WNBA and you say to the women in that league, if you want to play basketball, you gotta find a way to uh uh sign a contract with an NBA team.
And the odds of that happening are nil.
The LPGA there might be a couple of women's golfers who could make the PGA, but I mean it would be the end of women's sports.
It'd be the ultimate discriminatory thing to do.
Well, in your and your idea it'd be gender gender neutral is equality, but it would it would once again illustrate the vast inequality when it comes to athletic and sports endeavors.
But again, I mean I I thought the whole issue that the left really wants to push is that there's no differences between men and women, and that everybody, you know, women can do anything a man can do, you know, anything you can do, I can do better.
So, you know, if if men if men happen to be better at sports, well, you know, more power to them.
No, no, see, that's where it breaks down.
That's that's where you are misunderstanding the purpose of gender uh neutrality and equality.
The whole point of all this is to be able, not just in sports and everything, but in virtually everything to allow the underachieved, the underaccomplished, the unequal, the not as good, to infiltrate, participate in, take over all of these institutions dominated by the best.
Well, you know, again, I know you think I know you think I don't get what you're talking about.
I'm but I I do, and I'm two steps ahead of you here.
Right.
I'm imagining your idea put into play and what it would result in, and it would re it it would result in the women, the nags and and all of that just going absolutely baddie.
Well, and and Mars, that's really my point, is the whole thing is, you know, i if they really want gender neutrality, then that's not what they want.
I mean that that's exactly what they don't want.
And that's you know, they they give all these words, and you said a while ago we lost the language, and I think that's absolutely uh true.
You know, things like equality, uh, you know, marriage equality, it's not marriage equality, it's marriage redefinition.
Right.
You know, and so I I I think that is a real key, and we've allowed the left to call us homophobes when uh a phobia is an irrational fear.
Well, I don't agree with homosexuality, but I don't have any irrational fears of homosexuals.
And and so I think that's a a huge point that we on the right need to make, and we need to start you know standing up and defending ourselves.
Of course, you're you're the main voice that does that on the right, the big voice on the right.
Yeah, and people see what happens to me, and they don't want any part of it, and so they just content to live behind the game.
I wrote a uh you know some letters to the editor and some different things a while back, and I mean the the vileness that you get and the attacks you get, and you're you know, of course you're a homophobe, and if you say if you if you disagree.
There was a guy last night, you talked about the Duggars and Megan Kelly, the Robert Zimmerman guy, did you see him on there after the uh on last night talking about the Douggars, and he he called them hateful, bigot bigoted, and ignorant.
So, you know, essentially anybody who doesn't agree with the left view, you're you're a homophobe, you're hateful, you're bigoted, or you're ignorant.
That's right.
That's how they shut you up.
That's it's practiced, it's uh it's intentional.
You talk about gender inequality or equality and and neutrality.
Try this.
I just found out.
I mean, you know, I uh show prep never stops.
Even on getaway day, you know, most people on a day like this, most hosts will be phoning it in, just nothing but phone calls and not even half listening to the callers, just going, yeah, yeah, yeah, thanks.
And next call you're up.
But I'm here and I'm engaged.
And even during the breaks, I'm doing show prep.
You know what I just found?
Time magazine has just published a column on feminism by Miss Piggy.
A freaking puppet has a column on feminism in Time magazine.
Now, this creates curiosity and a question.
Is it this bad for Time Magazine?
Is it gotten this bad that in order to find an audience they have to have a pig lovable, adorable pig, nevertheless a pig puppet, write a column on feminism.
We've got a puppet, a pig puppet writing a column on discrimination against women.
And it's not the person who created the puppet, and it's not the person who plays the puppet.
It is actually time wants you to believe that Miss Piggy herself actually wrote this.
I have often maintained, by the way, that Miss Piggy was actually modeled after a human being.
And I think I know which one.
See, this is how it happens.
Snurdly, he's not really arguing with me, but he thinks You said you you really think that you take maybe the best players in the WNBA and they couldn't make it in the NBA.
I said, there's no doubt about.
I mean, look, there's always exceptions.
But I'm telling you, if you take this guy's suggestion and you get rid of gender oriented leagues, and you have the professional, you know, the National Basketball Association, the NBA, and it's made up of the best players.
You're not gonna have See, you can't win here.
You you might have one or two women make a team, and why would that happen?
Some some owner would think it's a marketing thing to do it.
Do you know what the big thing happening in the W. I've never heard of the Douggars, but I know this.
You know what's happening at WNBA right now?
They can't get anybody out to watch it.
A, they play it in the summertime when everybody's tired of basketball.
The championships, the NBA are over, here comes the WNBA.
It's just it's, you know, people have people have have spent their emotional reservoir on basketball with the NBA championships.
Here comes the WNBA.
You know what the big push is now?
I saw it the other day.
Lower the basket.
Yeah, because the average height of an NBA player is whatever they said it was six six or six seven.
And you just can't expect women to play on the same same size court as these men with the basket that high.
What is it, ten feet?
You can't expect that.
You lowered the basket, you've got to generate more scoring.
You've got to get people out to pay to come watch the games.
And they're trying to devise ways to create more scoring, make it look more exciting.
Uh I I folks, I this is one of those made-to-order circumstances.
Put put a bag of excrement in front of me, and if honesty is called for, I'll do it, and that results in me stepping in the bag.
So I've got I've got two choices.
Just leave it there and not take it any further, or tell you the truth about this.
And in so doing, create, put myself in the news all next week when I'm not here.
And which would further, it would allow the media to further this whole war on women thing that the Republicans supposedly perpetuate.
So I'm not gonna do it.
I'm just gonna ask you to use your common sense.
And we're just all we're doing is bouncing off a caller.
He's trying to make a different point anyway.
But because I happen to point out that you you're not.
Can you imagine?
Give me a position besides kicker that you think a woman could survive playing in the NFL.
Okay?
All right.
So you're never in the NFL.
Never.
Ninety-nine point nine percent of men could not survive in the NFL.
Those guys are a different breed.
But you can't, you couldn't put a woman out there in any position.
And it you wouldn't do it.
You just you just you just a compassionate, you know, considerate society would not do it.
That's all this whole women in combat thing came up, and it was much the same kind of thing, but different different considerations there, having to do with uh the differences in men and women and humanity and and the propagation of the race and so forth.
Now, basketball, still a contact sport.
What do you think is gonna happen?
Okay, so you put find your best WNBA player, whoever to put them out there, put them, put them on the Cleveland, no, put them on the Miami Heat, and they're in Cleveland playing playing uh uh the Cavaliers, what do you think is gonna happen?
Women's driving to the bed, the men are gonna get out of the way.
It's just they you you're erased not to hit the girl.
You're raised just not you it wouldn't, it wouldn't work.
And if it if if they treated the female player like they treat other men player, then the audience, the crowd would think it's unfair, they start booing.
You're dead, you didn't have to do that.
You didn't have to cut her off that way.
Gee, whiz she was knocked on her butt, what are you doing?
All kinds of cat calls would happen, and it just the LPGA, now that's a different ball of wax.
Uh the problem there is that you if you look at an LPGA tournament, they're not playing 7200 yards like the men do.
The the drive is the key there.
You if you're if you're if you can't uh from a particular set of T's, if you if you just cannot reach a green in either a par three or a par four in regulation from the T-box replay, you've got to move up.
Well, they're not gonna move the men up in order to accommodate a couple of women who might make it.
They did, you know, one year, what was it?
Annika Sorinstam played in the uh in the colonial down in Houston on Ben Ben Hogan's course.
It was a big deal.
She got a sponsor exemption, she played in it one year.
And and she played from the from the men's tease, and she made a go of it.
I don't think she made the cut.
But everybody was pulling for, but there was no equality there.
Everybody was pulling, they were hoping for.
But at golf, there's nobody could get out of her way or nobody to get anyway.
I mean, you're not playing anybody but the course in uh in in golf.
So that's that that may be a little different.
But so the contact sports, it's it's it's just it's not.
But anyway, the point that he was making was this is what you're gonna have.
If you if if there's no difference in men and women and throw them out there together and see what happens.
Well, if you throw them out there together where there's no difference in gender, we're all considered to be the same, not different from each other, and and if everything's merit-based, well, sorry.
Just but I'm gonna stop there, folks.
Because if I if I keep going here and dot the I's and cross the T's with just common sense honesty, then I'm creating a war on women problem here.
We're not worth it in this case.
Well, there's another reason they want to lower the basket in the WNBA.
And what does this tell you?
They want more dunks.
Because they think that dunks, you know, are the exclamation point.
That's what the fans really slam dunks.
And the women just can't do it at the current height of the basket.
Nothing against the women.
I mean, height is height.
