Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Hey folks, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Been looking forward to the program beginning ever since it ended yesterday.
And here we are, 21 hours later, revved and ready to go.
As always, great to have you here.
And looking forward to chatting with you when we go to the phones.
Telephone numbers 800-282-288-2 and the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Just a couple of headlines, let you know what's coming here.
From the Hill.com, vocal Trump critics in GOP, open to supporting Clinton.
There are so many C I told you so' today.
This is going to be stunning.
There's an NFL C I Told You So coming up in mere moments.
Then there's this.
Vocal Trump critics in GOP open to supporting Clinton.
And then this in the Politico.
Shadow campaign to deny Trump his delegates begins.
Told you all of this was on tap.
All of this was going to be happening.
And I want to take you back to May the 9th, 2014.
May 9th, 2014, coming up on almost, not quite, but almost two years ago.
See if you remember me saying this.
He wasn't drafted yesterday, the openly gay Michael Sam, and now there's panic throughout the media wondering if he will be.
Don't doubt me on this.
He's going to be drafted.
He's going to get drafted today.
I just hope it's by the Redskins.
What are you shaking your head for in there?
Anyway, he's gonna get drafted.
There's no mystery to this.
He will get drafted.
Michael Sam wasn't drafted yesterday.
And that means he's going to be drafted today.
No matter how it happens, it's gonna happen.
Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to uh announce prior to the uh draft that he was gay and entered the draft in that in that uh way.
And and in the in the pre-draft uh run-up, there were all kinds of professional assessments that even though he had been the defensive player of the year in the SEC, just didn't have what it took.
Didn't have the size, didn't have the speed to play a defensive end or outside linebacker in the NFL, just was not going to excel there as a pass rusher.
I mean, that that's what all the smart people said.
And it didn't matter to me.
I knew he was going to be drafted.
He had to be drafted.
There was something in the works that was gonna happen.
I didn't pretend to know what it was, I could have guessed, but he was going to be drafted.
The NFL was going to see to it that he was drafted.
And we learned from Howard Balzer, who is a well, he's an aging sports writer.
He's uh got a he's from St. Louis, I think.
If I were if he's the right Howard Balzer, used to be the sporting news.
I don't know who he is.
Who's he who's he with now?
I'm not sure, but he's still around.
Anyway, he's got a story that the Rams made a deal with the NFL to draft Michael Sam in order to not have to be participating in the HBO show Hard Knocks.
A longtime NFL reporter, I thought you knew this.
They're staring at me with blank faces across the glass.
With everything going on, what are you talking about this for?
Because it's a C I told you so.
A long time NFL reporter revealed yesterday that the NFL agreed to a deal where the St. Louis Rams didn't have to do hard knocks on HBO if they drafted Michael Sam.
Howard Bolzer tweeted, sources say the NFL agreed not to have Rams on hard knocks in 2014 if they drafted Michael Sam.
Michael Sam, they asked him about shocked about this.
I'm not surprised at all.
Howard Balzer reported the NFL was concerned that Michael Sam wouldn't be drafted.
They couldn't have that.
Here comes the first openly gay player being celebrated by the drive-by's and everybody.
The NFL can't afford not to draft the guy.
In their minds, they can't do it.
And they're PR-related, they can't afford not to.
But no team wanted him because of the professional assessment that he just wasn't professional caliber.
That didn't matter.
And so the the news here is that the league threatened the Rams with hard knocks.
Teams, some teams want to be on hard knocks because it's it it promotes, it sells tickets, it does this, it gets the team on the map.
A lot of teams don't want any part of hard knocks because it's a distraction.
I mean, if you're a coach, the last thing you want is a bunch of cameras and cameramen and sound people.
All it is is an interruption.
You know as well as I do that you put a camera on a street corner, and what otherwise would happen changes.
Once people see the camera, they start playing to it.
They can't erase the fact that it's there.
And so it changes what happens.
NFL coaches would say, look, I don't want these guys play into the camera.
I don't want them thinking they're being spied on, and I don't want this video footage being taken here to end up with the Patriots.
I don't want, that's what all coaches say.
I don't want the footage that these guys get being given to competing teams.
So it's a very few number of teams that want to do hard knocks.
So the league came along and said, Rams, you're doing hard knocks, unless you draft Sam.
They said, no question, we'll draft Sam.
And let's put a little exclamation on point in this.
Do you know who is doing hard knocks this coming season?
The Los Angeles Rams.
And what do you think that's all about?
No, it's because you guys want to move to St. Louis.
You want to get out of Los Angeles, you want to get out of St. Louis, move to LA?
Fine.
Remember that hard knocks deal with Sam?
It's doubling back on you guys.
You want us to vote for your move to LA?
Fine, you gotta do hard knocks.
Okay, when you measure it that way, we'll gladly do hard knocks.
Isn't this circuitously humorous the way it all happens?
But I'm just playing you to see, I told you so, because I knew it's another sterling, shiny example why you should not doubt me.
When I make these prognostications, predictions, uh, and no matter how sure of myself, I know that the more sure of myself I sound to certain people, the more off-putting it is.
Because nobody's supposed to be that sure of themselves.
I get that.
Nobody is supposed to be that confident.
There's supposed to be a lot of gray area.
The true measure of a refined intelligent person is to admit that he may not be right.
And this attitude, by the way, has infected much of conservatism.
If I may make a brief stream of consciousness departure here.
What I mean by this is how many times do you pick up a conservative opinion piece?
And it reads something like this.
I think X, but I understand why the people who don't think X think why, and I am perfectly understanding, and I am perfectly willing to tolerate.
They may have a point.
They could very well be right, but I maintain that my position on X is what it should be.
But if they don't agree, the last thing I want to do is try to force them to.
So while I see point X, I even see people that disagree with both of us.
I can understand all points of view on this.
I really do think that I'm right, but I don't want to go to the mat on it.
That is considered sophistication.
That is considered open-mindedness.
That is considered an acknowledgement that you don't know it all, which is supposedly the right way to be.
And of course, when I think I know something, I say I think I know it, and I don't hedge it.
And that just it offputs a lot of people.
I'm just telling you, when I get into one of those modes, do not doubt me.
As is the case here.
Yesterday, Ted Cruz was big news on the program because he had proposed something that had already been implemented.
He suggested that it be re-implemented.
And that was the NYPD surveilling and paying attention to, monitoring, whatever you want to say, uh Muslim neighborhoods to try to find any evidence that there might be bomb-making activity, terrorism being planned, or what have you.
It was a plan that had already been implemented during the Bush administration in in cahoots with the New York City police department and the mayor.
And it had it had been allowed to um uh end, I I think, or if it if it didn't end, it certainly uh faded away at some point.
And Cruz, in the reaction to what had happened in Brussels, said, hey, it's it's time to bring this kind of stuff back.
I mean, we're this is this is very you remember the reaction, everybody, you can't do the why you wouldn't even that's not our values, that's not who we are.
All of this rot, people went just had a cow over it, which is why I went back and found the original news stories in the AP back in 2011 describing how the plan worked.
And it not just was the NYPD surveilling these neighborhoods, it was the CIA helping them.
And it happened under Obama.
Started under Bush, Obama continued it, and here's Cruz merely suggesting that something had already had been be re-implemented, and everybody was having a cow over this.
But Cruz didn't back down, and in fact, there's more to this.
He was on Bloomberg's all due respect on TV last night.
Mark Halperin said to him, What would you say to a young child who would see policemen in their neighborhood and wondering why is their neighborhood?
A young Muslim child getting increased secure.
What this is about is I made a point yesterday.
These moderate, peace-loving Muslims, wouldn't they welcome a police presence in their neighborhood if it was designed to keep the neighborhood safe, if it was designed to root out terrorists, criminals, bad actors.
Because we're told that moderate mainstream Muslims want no part of terrorism.
We are told, in fact, that terrorism is not something to do with Islam.
Even though terrorists commit their acts of terror in the name of Islam, we are told that Islam is a religion of peace, that there is no terrorism.
And this is what Obama tells us.
I'm not making this up, this is what Obama says, is what Hillary says is what all the leftists and even some queasy Republicans uh eagerly point out.
No, no, Islam the religion of peace.
There would not be Quran, there's no terrorism.
Of course, it's not true.
But but let's say that it is true.
If it's religion of peace, and terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, it's just that terrorists hide in Muslim neighborhoods.
If you are peace-loving Muslim, wouldn't you welcome an effort by law enforcement to root out that kind of thing from your neighborhood?
That's a question I raised.
And that's what Halperin's asking Cruz here in a disagreeing way.
Well, what would you say to a young child who would see one of these policemen in the neighborhood?
Wondering why is the policeman in their neighborhood?
A young Muslim child getting increased scrutiny.
Don't you see how they could be suspicious of this?
New York had in place a very effective program to work cooperatively with the Muslim community to monitor and prevent radicalization and to prevent Islamic terror attacks from occurring before they happen.
Now, unfortunately, Mayor de Blasio came into office, and he's every bit as captive to political correctness as is Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and they disbanded the program.
The police are here to protect us.
I categorically reject the view of Democrats that the police are the bad guys.
When we have police in a community, it protects that community and keeps it safe.
And uh it's hard to disagree with that, but people do.
And I will acknowledge that there are many communities who think the police are not there but to do anything, but catch people and put them in jail.
I understand people think that.
It's a really a sad thing that that view of the police has taken hold in so much of America because it isn't true.
Try living without them.
Try living in any community without try there being nobody at the end of the phone when you call 911.
Try it.
You want them back within seconds of them leaving the neighborhood.
But civil rights coalitions uh, combined with the Democrat Party, have worked their magic and have got everybody thinking that the cops are what caused all the problems in Ferguson and Baltimore and Oakland and wherever Else.
Los Angeles, you name it.
The cops are the problem.
But you try living in any neighborhood anywhere without them.
And you'll want them back before the day is uh is over.
Now, last night in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, there was a campaign event in site 2016.
One little more soundbite here from Ted Cruz.
I'm so sorry to be dismaying Barack Obama.
And you know, yesterday and today, I was attacked by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and New York's mayor Bill de Blasio, which suggests maybe I'm doing something right.
It wasn't just those, I mean, it was the entire leftist power structure that went after Cruz, and many Republicans did too, uh, went after Cruz on this.
And that's why I spent so much time yesterday trying to tell people hey, this is not Cruz's idea.
This is an idea that was hatched and implemented under George W. Bush and continued by Barack Obama.
Barack Obama had a chance to get rid of the program, and he didn't.
He kept it in place.
Barack Obama's the guy, almost personally flying drones over the Middle East looking at people to kill based on his decision to kill them.
He's in charge of the kill list.
If the world is our neighborhood, Obama clearly is surveilling it.
And under the same premises that Cruz suggested neighborhoods be surveilled in the United States.
With all these refugees coming in, with all the illegal immigrants pouring in, tell me it doesn't make sense.
Here, let me give you a story.
Just happens to coincide with this.
The headline says it all.
Three Washington, D.C. students arrested with bomb making equipment in dorm room.
I wonder what their names are.
Doesn't say.
George Mason University, located in Fairfax, Virginia, outside Washington.
It's been the site of jihadi organizing and recruitment in recent years and even months.
Three students were arrested with bomb-making equipment in dorm rooms, and their names have not been released.
They have not been identified.
Why not?
You know, at any time there's a political scandal, a Democrat's involved, you'll never read that he's a Democrat.
They never put that in the story.
Why?
Well, because they're a bunch of hypocrites.
The only time scandals are worthwhile is when Republicans commit them and they can get them out of office or otherwise render them impotent.
They have their belief system.
So if you're out there, if you believe that Islam is a religion of peace and Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism, and if you're out publicly saying so and you're out trying to convince people, don't fall in the...
Al Qaeda, these guys, they're they're they're abusing a great religion.
They're not really Islamists, they're not really Muslim.
And then three students arrested with bomb-making equipment dorm room, and they happen to be Muslim.
Of course, you're not going to mention their name, makes you look bad.
So that's what everybody's going to conclude.
You don't publish their name.
It must be you're trying to cover for the fact that you're wrong about something.
This is a Breitbart story, by the way.
Three Washington, D.C. students arrested, bomb-making equipment in dorm room.
The AP reporting the three George Mason University students have been arrested for allegedly possessing.
Oh, and you know what?
There's another story in here.
Folks, about how we have rounded up U.S. Marshals arrest 13,000 in sweep targeting worst violent offenders.
13,000 individuals with open warrants as part of a national operation aimed at targeting the worst of the worst, and yet we're told we cannot round up illegal aliens in the shadows.
Yes, I've seen it.
Who hasn't seen it?
Pictures of Obama in Argentina dancing the tango after watching a baseball game.
You have not seen it?
Okay, good.
And there's Obama dancing with uh looks like professional Argentinian dancers.
And uh Muchell, my bell was also dancing with a professional male dancer in Argentini, doing the tango.
He's celebrating.
So here's a guy who first appears underneath a mural image of Che Guevara.
That's on purpose.
Probably that that phone photo will hang in his presidential library.
It'll hang in his own personal library.
It'll hang in his house.
Probably one of the proudest photos Obama ever has.
Picture of him in Cuba underneath the mural of Cheguera.
It's not an unfortunate optic.
It was mission accomplished.
It's an in your face optic.
So here's Obama at a baseball game while Brussels burns, and now he's on the dance floor, doing the tango in Argentina.
While terrorism continues to be robust and enhance and express itself in even greater numbers, and this is the transformation he promised.
This is exactly what Obama set out to produce here, folks, this kind of chaos, upsetting the old order of things.
That's why he's not coming back.
He's not upset by it.
The views expressed by the host on this show documented to be almost always right.
99.8.
Percent of the time.
That translates to don't doubt me.
Great to have you here.
So would you agree with me that we're looking at presidential passivity regarding ISIS?
Here's Brussels burning and on fire.
And by the way, Brussels is not just a place.
Again, Brussels is the headquarters of the world court.
Brussels is the headquarters of NATO Brussels is the headquarters of the European Union.
It was not accidental that ISIS targeted Brussels and the specific areas in Brussels.
Brussels is the seat of socialist Europe.
Brussels, in many estimates, is Nirvana, is utopia.
Brussels is the ideal.
Brussels is the gathering place for all of the smart people.
Brussels is where the sophisticated and the educated and the elite of the world gather to solve all problems.
Well, there's also the Hague over there in the Netherlands, but you can't put everything in one basket.
But Brussels contains the spot where all of these people of a certain mindset, a certain education, a certain ideological bent.
It's where they all go when it's time to get together to plan solutions to international and global events.
The best, the brightest, the most sophisticated, uh the people of the best breeding, people who come from the best families.
Some cases in the UK, those from the aristocracy, those from the House of Lords, these are the best and the brightest, the smartest.
These are the people who design life for the rest of the people of the world who are not anywhere near qualified, and ISIS hit it.
ISIS hit the European Union and the way to get to it.
And where is President Obama, who, by the way, looks at Brussels in much the same way I just described.
Where's Obama?
He continued to stay in Kuah.
Sitting next to Raul Castro at a baseball game.
And then it's on to Argentina for flamingo dancing, tangos, and whatever else with the leaders of that country.
Total passivity, total uninterest or disinterest, depending on how you like to use the word, but whatever.
It was Alfred E. Newman.
What?
Me worry?
I don't I'll send Kerry.
That's what I'll do.
I'll send Lorch.
I'll send my Secretary of State to show that I'm concerned about this.
There has been an overall passivity Shown toward ISIS by President Obama, whether in the Middle East and now in Europe.
ISIS is moving west, folks.
ISIS has no doubt infiltrated our country.
We would be fools to not think so.
We would be foolish to not realize the possibility, the reality.
So we are witnessing worldwide aggression by an expanding terror organization.
While the President of the United States, which automatically conferred upon him the leader of the free world, appears to be uninterested, appears to be unconcerned.
And I'm not saying this just because he doesn't pick up and leave and go to Brussels or come back to Washington.
Certainly that's part of it, but you can tell by listening to him talk about just not something that has him concerned.
He has never been proactive in taking on ISIS.
In fact, he goes to great pains to create optics demonstrating almost a laissez-faire attitude towards all of terrorism.
Gets close to saying that people oriented towards stopping terrorism are a little bit extreme.
They're a little bit excessive.
It's not that bad.
We've got to think positive.
It's little pocket of it here, he says, little pocket of it there.
Obama says the world is getting better.
The world is getting safer.
And everybody scratches their heads.
But nobody stops to think of the context in which he makes these statements.
The world's getting better.
Well, to certain people, all of this happening, and to whom it is happening, could maybe equal the world getting better.
What if you happen to believe that Europeans are reprobates because they were colonialists?
And they branched out from their home countries in the UK and elsewhere, and went to other parts of the world.
The subcontinent, they went to Africa, they went to Australia, where and they colonized, and they basically took over and they imposed themselves on otherwise sovereign peoples.
And what if you have harbored a deep-seated resentment for that from the first day you were taught about it?
And what if ISIS attacking Europe and what about massive Islamic extremist immigration in Germany and Sweden and Denmark?
What if you think that is the world getting better?
What if you think that's the kind of thing that equals payback that has been long overdue?
That these colonialists need to find out what it feels like to be invaded by people from other places who are trying to make the place their own.
What if you happen to think that this get even with them mentality does equal the world getting better?
You look at the Middle East, President Obama is molding the Middle East far more than George W. Bush ever dreamed of.
And he's molding Europe far more than Harry Truman ever dreamed of.
Now what do I mean by the?
Well, George W. Bush goes into a rock-stated objective here is to convert it to a democracy.
The belief by George W. Bush is that all human beings are all human beings, and that we all have things in common.
One of those things is the yearning to be free, that none of us want to be living in dominion.
We don't want to be living in tyranny.
We don't want to be controlled.
We all want to be in charge of our own lives.
And George W. Bush, much of a religious view, believed that if we could simply establish an outcoast of democracy outpost of democracy In the Middle East that it could spread by showing the people of the Middle East what's possible.
Freedom and liberty and economic advancement is possible.
Many people poo-pooed the policy just like they poo-pooed the notion that the people of Soviet Union wants to be free because they never had been, didn't know what to do with it.
Big mistake to turn them loose and make them free.
I remember that after the Berlin Wall fell.
A lot of people think that Bush had the exactly wrong objective here.
But nevertheless, he had the objective.
My point to you is that George Bush and his effort to mold the Middle East is being dwarfed by Obama's effort to mold the Middle East.
Look who happens to be taking over the Middle East.
We just did a nuke deal with the Iranians under the premise that it's simply nuclear power, and a nation seeks to modernize its power grid.
But in fact, everyone knows they're on their way to getting a nuclear weapon, and we have paid for it, and we have sanctioned it.
We unfroze their assets, they have 150 billion dollars to do with whatever they want that they didn't have, buy new airplanes for their airline to go out and sponsor terrorism in other parts of the world, what have you, but all of this made possible by Barack Obama.
you look at Egypt any number of places in the Middle East ISIS is on the march Rudy Giuliani was on Fox News last night.
Bill O'Reilly said Hillary Clinton helped found his Islamic state.
Hillary Clinton actually is a founding member of the Islamic State.
He said, if you're talking about doing and we've got the time by coming up, he said, if you're talking about doing what she wants to do, which is to rally our forces against ISIS, you've got to come back to the White House.
You've got to sit in the situation room.
You can't leave until you come up with a plan.
He says Obama doesn't want to rally anybody.
She had her chance to do it.
She helped create ISIS, Giuliani says.
I mean, Hillary Clinton could be considered a founding member of ISIS by virtue of their policy in Iraq.
We cleared out.
We got out of there, we got out of the Middle East, we have cleared the field for ISIS.
And they are on the march of the Middle East.
Now they're on the march in Europe.
And Obama is in Cuba, and he's in Argentina, and he's just having the grandest time.
I know it's his last year, therefore the last year of his term, and uh he knows that he's not the focal point of the news right now, so it's just time to enjoy life and in the process.
If a bunch of people who were colonized years ago against their will, are now striking back at their great oppressors.
Well, hey, payback's a B.I. itch, they say.
But I would maintain, you know, over the course of his presidency, Obama's created ideal environments for terrorism.
Withdrew troops in Iraq to the benefit of ISIS, bombed Libya, Libya, leaving it wide open for terrorists.
Now, after Hillary claiming that as a major foreign policy achievement, but Libya is a disaster which led to Benghazi, which led to, well, you know, four dead Americans.
Obama created and encouraged massive numbers of refugees to essentially invade Europe.
A similar invasion is happening in this country, and the numbers continue to increase each and every year, and Obama has made not one serious effort to stop it, and in fact, anybody who does step up and try to stop it, Obama tries to stop them.
State of Arizona as a glaring example.
None of this is accidental.
None of this is happenstance.
None of this is just the normal evolution of the human condition on Earth.
This is the result of policy preferences.
After withdrawing troops from Iraq to the benefit of ISIS after bombing Libya, Obama created and encouraged massive numbers of refugees to invade Europe.
He didn't lift a finger in Syria.
He lifted sanctions in Iran, is doing the same thing now for yet another communist slash terror regime In Cuba.
Here at home, he has refused to protect our borders.
He has waged a war on the police.
He has encouraged sanctuary cities to continue protecting criminals.
And let's look seriously at Hillary Clinton and her email situation.
Everything that the Democrat Party, the American left and Barack Obama stand for is wrapped up in this case.
How many people have you run into who know the facts, who know what the FBI's amassed?
The reams and reams of evidence.
We've all heard the stories.
The FBI has got her.
There is all kinds of evidence of just waiting to happen.
And if it doesn't happen, half the FBI is walking out.
We've heard this from three different credible sources with FBI Justice Department experience.
And yet, how many people do you know?
Just in your everyday walk in life, who nothing's gonna happen to Hillary.
Are you kidding?
You really think that this Lynch babe, the attorney is gonna indict Hillary?
Come on.
You think the Democrats are gonna destroy their presidential?
Come on.
What about the rule of law?
And when you hear people's rule of law, it doesn't matter to these people.
What a moment.
The rule of law is all that holds us together, folks.
Respect for and honoring the rule of law, and look at how many people think that politics, political loyalty, political objectives will trump the rule of law in the Hillary email case.
I have to take a break.
Think about that.
I mean, that's really sober to give you an indication of just how far gone we are.
Uh under this administration.
Back after this.
Don't go.
Always like to get uh phone call in the first hour of the program.
We'll start with Linda in Lake City, Michigan.
Great to have you and hi.
Good morning.
Good uh what am I saying?
Good afternoon.
That's right, that's right.
And when you were describing Brussels, I thought for a minute you were describing Lake City, Michigan you mean as the seat of modern sophistication and liberalism and world government.
We don't we don't rise quite to that level, though, but I I am wondering um what the president could do uh on a personal level.
I mean, I believe he gave a statement as to the you know the reprehensible effect uh actions by ISIS in Brussels.
I think we were all horrified.
Um, do you do you remember this thing called Hurricane Katrina?
Yeah.
Do you remember when George Bush flew over it and Air Force One was pictured looking out the window?
Remember what people said?
No, I don't.
Oh, come on.
Yes, you do.
You just don't want to admit that I got to that he just flew over and didn't actually go down.
He didn't care.
He didn't land, he didn't go see the suffering, he didn't go talk to them, he didn't go reassured them.
Bush didn't care.
He probably enjoyed that New Orleans was hit because a bunch of Democrats lived there.
That's what the while you're saying that about the current president that he doesn't care.
I'm sure he does.
No, he doesn't.
That's exactly why he's doing what he's doing.
I'm saying he doesn't care.
I'm saying this is the policy unfolded.
Oh, well, and actions speak louder than words, and this is a guy that's not concerned about it.
I'm sorry, Linda.
Well, I believe he is concerned.
I don't think there was anything he could have done by actually going to Brussels.
Yeah, and like Bush should have gone to New Orleans and Bush should have done this and Bush should have done that.
And after 9-11, all Bush did was read to the kids in the classroom and didn't even have the guts to go back to Washington and hear all's Obama out doing the tango with women, not even his wife.
I'm sure he cares.
I'm sure he did all he could.
What a crock.
I'm sorry it doesn't fly the hypocrisy here.
The thing is you don't know whether he thinks you're you want to think that he cares.
You want to think this concern because you're loyal to it.
Well, I want to think that you care.
I mean, you should hope that I care.
But you and I are not gonna go to Brussels.
I don't think caring accomplishes us a thing.
We and I, you and I can sit here and care all day long.
It isn't gonna change a thing.
This is not about caring.
Right.
It's about leadership.
It's about leadership.
It is about inspiration.
It's about comforting.
It is about standing up for what's right in the world and condemning what's wrong.
And you don't do that while watching a baseball game with a communist dictator or dancing with a flamingo dancer who's probably the paid mistress of the leader of Argentina.
Gotta take a break.
I don't think I can add much.
Okay, my friends, that's it for the first hour of our excursion into broadcast excellence, a daily event here on the EIB Network.
Take a brief time out here at the top, and we'll be right back.
