Time Text
We've covered a lot of breaking news on today's program.
Paul Manafort out as chairman of the Donald Trump campaign, now firmly in the hands of Kellyanne Conway and the guy that I don't fully trust from Breitbart, who I think are the right people to run the campaign.
We've talked about the Ryan Lochte story.
We've talked about America's acceptance of lying that the Clintons have dealt to us.
In the first hour of the show, I offered my comments on the part of the Never Trump movement that can't seem to shut up about how much it despises Donald Trump and how stupid Donald Trump voters have to be, and the part of the pro-Trump movement that evidently doesn't understand that Donald Trump isn't running as an independent but is running as a Republican and therefore needs to unite the Republican Party behind him.
The reality is is that Trump can only win if the Paul Ryan wing of the party, plus the Ted Cruz wing of the party, and even the Kelly Ayatt part wing of the party unite with the Donald Trump wing of the party.
Winning elections is all about addition, not subtraction.
The time to fight and argue is once you're in power and you decide what it is that needs to be done.
The alternative is to just continue on this path of destruction of our country by electing people who don't share American values, don't believe in American values, and can't even level with us.
Which brings me to the Clinton Foundation.
The Clinton Foundation is now announcing that it will stop accepting foreign money if Hillary wins.
Well, isn't that beautiful?
I guess that means that domestic bribes will continue to be accepted, but no foreign bribes if she wins.
But think about that.
If she wins.
Do you know what happens every time President Obama talks about gun control and banning guns?
Gun sales explode.
Because Americans are fearful that the government actually is going to stop them from being able to buy whatever weapon, people run out of the gun shop and figure I'm gonna get the guns now.
So what do you think this Clinton Foundation announcement is?
This is send us the money now.
After all, you all know Hillary's leading in the poll, she's gonna win.
That's the message they're sending.
So you foreign interests that want to have a good fair hearing for President Clinton, you better send the money in now and then won't accept the money if she wins.
So what's the cutoff?
Is it election day or is it inauguration day?
Will they have an extra two months that they can kick it in between November and January if she wins?
The very fact that this foundation exists, the very fact that we've been able to link the millions and millions and millions of dollars that have gone to the Clinton Foundation, much of it then paid out in expenses and salaries to the Clintons themselves, with public policy that has been implemented, shows you how C sleazy the whole operation is.
They're not even saying they'll shut it down.
They're saying that if Hillary is elected, independent trustees will oversee the operation of the foundation without the direct involvement of either Chelsea, Bill, or Hillary.
First of all, nobody believes that.
That they're gonna take their hands off of it.
Second, why won't she shut it down?
She figures, hey, I'm winning anyway.
This has been a great big giant money maker for us, and gives me a good way of finding out who my friends are.
So the foreign money is going to stop if she wins.
But in the meantime, you got all of August, all of September, all of the dictators and despots of the world, all the multinational corporations, all you foreigners who want to be able to buy off Hillary Clinton during the four years she's president should she win.
Get your donations in now.
I mean, this is what appliance stores sell.
This sale will end in forty-eight hours.
By now.
This is what we're now reduced to.
I do want to spend a moment or two here in this hour of the program talking about the rioting last weekend, and that's what it was, rioting in Milwaukee after the shooting of a police officer.
But we're also going to take some calls uh from the Rush audience during this hour of the program, so let's get fired up and start with some phone calls.
1-800-282-2882 is the phone number.
Let's go to Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Joanne, it's your turn on the Rush program with Mark Belling.
Hi, Mark.
I just wanted to tell you how pro I've got three millennials um, very first time to vote, uh a niece and two nephews that are enthusiastic Trump supporters, but they've also done their research on Hillary Clinton, and they can sit there and defend pardon me, defend why they are Trump supporters and explain to their friends why Hillary is not a good choice.
And I they they watched their uncle and I go to Washington DC and protest the health care bill, being part of the Tea Party, and they've they've really paid attention and they're they're doing their research, and I'm just so very proud of them that they're they're not thoughtlessly doing this.
They're researched it and they're just going for it and they're trying to persuade other people to also vote for Trump because Hillary's just a bad idea.
It's it's always dangerous to generalize about large groups of people, but if ever there was a generation that the generalization usually holds up on, it's the millennials.
So much that you observe about some of them is true of many of them, and most polls indicate that Trump is doing just terribly among millennials, and you could see why that is.
This is a generation that has been taught all about feelings and inclusiveness and so on.
It's also a generation when you consider that Bill Clinton was elected in nineteen ninety-two.
It's twenty-four years ago.
It is a generation that its entire life has seen a government that is fundamentally dishonest with it.
I don't think that you can necessarily say that that was true during the W. Bush period, but for most of this of their lives, lying was something that was just out there.
So they presume that it is a given.
It's one thing to arm yourself with a set of facts and develop an ideology.
But if you're gonna base all of your decisions on feelings, emotion, inclusiveness, of course you're probably going to be repelled by a guy like Trump.
And I do think Trump has to understand that.
A lot of this does have to do with tone, and his tone has been something that not only has brought him a lot of supporters, it has turned some people the other way.
The reason why I argue, as I mentioned earlier in the program, that he's still in it, is that he is running against as flawed a candidate as either of the two parties has ever put out.
Even the supporters of Hillary Clinton know she's a liar.
I mean, the FBI director Comey in whitewashing what she did, acknowledged that she's a liar.
Everybody in America knows that Hillary Clinton's a liar.
Some people are just going to say I'm okay with it, or well, she's still better than Trump, but they all know that she's a liar.
That being a starting point puts the opponent in the game.
This still is Trump's election to lose.
And some people are arguing that he's been doing nothing but losing it.
But it means he has an opportunity to turn things around, and I think that his speech in North Carolina last night set a very good tone for the campaign.
If he can show some discipline as a candidate and focus on those core issues that he hammered and why he believes in them, I think he can still win things.
Here's the other thing.
People presume that the Hillary lying is all history.
She's going to keep lying, and she's going to be caught in another lie, and another lie, and another lie.
She's got to do three debates with Donald Trump.
She's going to lie during those those debates.
At some point there can become a lying breaking point.
She's testing it.
How much lying can a human being get away with and still be elected president of the United States?
It's possible though that this is like the Olympic pole vault and eventually she's going to cross the bar and the lying is going to be too much.
Thank you for the call, Joanne.
Let's go now to from Virginia to West Virginia.
Morgantown, Keith, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Oh, thanks for taking my call, Mark.
Uh I just had a comment about uh these never Trumpers.
Um, I uh you know, I held my nose and voted for for their candidates Romney and McCain before, and uh, you know, it it can be done to, you know if if the Republicans kind of stick together, they could actually nominate Trump, which I thought was kind of interesting when he said that uh you think he still might have a chance to win.
I don't know about that, but uh I am a Trump supporter, so no matter what he does, I'm still gonna vote for him.
Why do you think he why don't you think he has a chance to win?
Um well, um I think that uh the uh bias of the media is is is definitely gonna be a big factor in the case.
It is.
I mean getting it.
It is.
And it's something to overcome.
On the other hand, the media was biased against Reagan in eighty and eighty-four.
Admittedly, it wasn't as bad then.
They were biased against W. Bush in his two elections.
They were biased against the Republicans in 14 and 10 when the congressional elections were nationalized and the Republicans won.
The reality is that the media bias is something that's always going to be there.
I don't think it's something that can't be overcome.
It doesn't mean that it's a fate of complain that because the media is biased, that Democrats are always going to win, because if that was the case, we wouldn't have any Republican governors in the United States.
I can tell you that from my own state, Wisconsin, where Scott Walker has been, since he was elected just under siege, he is despised by the left.
The media in Wisconsin has been obsessed with hyping stories against him.
He had to put up with a bogus John Doe criminal investigation that hyped criminal charges about behavior that never even occurred.
Yet he won all three of the elections that he had to face.
The media bias is an enormous hurdle to have to overcome.
And if the media bias wasn't there, I'm not sure Democrats would ever win anything.
But it doesn't make things an impossibility.
The fact of the matter is, is that Trump is within 10 points in almost every one of the battleground states.
And the support for Hillary Clinton is extremely soft.
You've got about 35 to 40 percent that are simply going to vote for her because she's a Democrat.
For her to get to about 50 percent or 47 or 48 or whatever it's going to take means that she has to appeal to this group of people that doesn't like either candidate, particularly Both candidates have negatives, they're around seventy percent, which is unbelievably high.
So you're going to have a lot of voters who are going to vote for the candidate that is less unattractive than the other.
That's just reality.
There are enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporters, there are enthusiastic Donald Trump supporters, but there are tens of millions of people in this country that don't much like either of them, and they're going to make a choice.
And I think Trump can still get them.
When Trump said last night, you know, I'm not politically correct, and sometimes I've said things that I wish that I hadn't said, I think that there's a ring of truth to that.
I think that people know that Donald Trump is kind of a guy that shoots his mouth off and Donald Trump is a guy that has to react to every little thing that's said about him.
But I also think that most people realize that at his core.
He's not a terrible guy.
You can't look at his family and think that this is somebody that is an awful horrid human being and raised children, as good as they are.
I think that there are people that are still sizing him up and making up their minds.
I know from myself, in terms of going from somebody that didn't like Donald Trump at all to somebody who's now rather enthusiastically supporting him.
I had to take his measure, and there are while there are the components of him that I clearly am not a fan of, I think that there's a sincerity to him.
I think he cares about his country.
I think that when he sometimes offers too much bluster, it's because he does deeply care about the direction of the country.
There are people that are still trying to figure this thing out, and there are votes that may be on Hillary's side right now that he can still win back.
The best thing that he has going for him is who it is that he's running against.
I'm Mark Bellings sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
Mark Belling, I do a daily radio show at Milwaukee.
Bo Snerdly suggested that I'd offer my take on the rioting that happened in Milwaukee over the weekend following a police shooting of an armed suspect.
Obviously, I have limited time here and talking about the background of what led to all of this would take even more than the entire three hours of the rush program, so this is a short version.
So I want to offer, I think, some of the most important points that might not be apparent to somebody who doesn't live in Milwaukee.
First of all, unlike Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, it was a relatively small group of people that were involved in the burning and the looting, and it ended rather quickly.
This was not something that was widespread, and it was not something that was supported by most in the African American community.
The neighborhood in which they rioted and burned seven businesses, in fact, is a predominantly black community.
One of the businesses that was torched is a black owned liquor store.
The people who argue that we need to have more jobs in central cities, well, these are all places that employed, at least in case of many of them, employed African Americans.
There wasn't much support for it.
The day after the burning occurred, there were a lot of black Milwaukeeans who went into that neighborhood and tried to pick up the litter and tried to clean things up.
There were vigils that were held praying for peace that included both blacks and whites.
The reason it didn't continue is there was very little belief in the African American community that burning down our own neighborhood was going to accomplish anything.
As for whether or not this was all triggered by a shooting by a police officer.
Yes and no.
We have had in Milwaukee two years of a handful of agitators, the Black Lives Matter movement, They call themselves Coalition for Justice in Milwaukee, that have been hammering and pounding on police and playing to easily influenced young males, as I said for two years.
They've been looking for a reason to cause trouble.
With regard to this shooting, hours passed before the first building was burned.
This was something that was simmering with a handful of people, probably caught the police unaware, probably didn't have the police ready to go into full riot mode to stop the trouble from occurring.
Was it directed directly at police?
Well, there are some people who hate police because that's been drilled into their heads.
But the reality is, and I can say this as somebody who knows some police officers, knows quite a few police officers, Milwaukee has great cops.
Milwaukee has a significant number of African American police officers.
The cop who shot the suspect in this instance was himself black.
They went to the same high school.
There's some indication that they may have even overlapped.
There are neighborhoods in Milwaukee that have been beset with incredibly violent crime.
Drug dealers and gang members run certain neighborhoods.
The only people who go into those neighborhoods to try to help are the cops.
I don't know any Milwaukee cops who signed up for that job and went to the police academy because they want to go out and start harassing black people in the hood.
It's not why they do it.
In the case of many, they do it because they actually want to make things better.
On my show in Milwaukee and on my website, I posted an email I received from an African American Milwaukee police officer.
Sixteen years on the job.
He was so disheartened.
He said, I've spent my entire career trying to build bridges between the police and the community.
Yet I find that there are many people who hate me just because I am an officer.
His squad car was one of those that was bashed in, somebody threw a brick or a cement block, smashed in its windshield, could have killed him.
And he was wondering why he was doing this when so many people apparently despise him just because of his career choice.
It was very sincere and very heartfelt.
I think and I hope what that officer understands upon reflection is that not everybody hates him because he's a cop.
But some people do.
The argument has been made is that this is what happens when you have people that are angry without hope.
Well, of course many of them are angry.
Virtually none of them who did the rioting at fathers.
Many have mothers who are themselves criminals or have neglected them.
They feel as though they have no hope in their life.
They don't know why they're angry, but yes, they are angry.
And they become uncivilized.
And they lash out by trying to kill cops by smashing smashing them with bricks and burning down buildings in their own neighborhoods.
But none of that is because of anything any police officer did.
Nothing any cop has ever done has ever created the conditions that led them to this type of anger.
The reality is is that Milwaukee, like most big cities, has been run by nothing but liberals for a century.
Russia is going to be back on Monday.
Buck and I have had the opportunity to fill in the TLN of this week.
If you've missed any portion of Russia's show this week, that's what Rush 247 is for, and you can sign up at Rush Limbaugh.com one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two is the phone number.
Do I have to keep giving the phone number out?
I never know what's too much and what isn't on this show.
Your listener of Rush, you have to know that number by now, right?
Just like ingrained in you.
Only once did I read my Milwaukee phone number on the air when I was doing the Rush show.
Badge of honor that I won't do it again.
Let's go to the phones.
Joe in New York City are on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Hi, Mark.
Um how are you today?
I'm great.
We're telling uh captain from New York City uh area was a police officer.
Um it's funny, I was just talking to your screener about um I just left.
I was a cop back in the late 80s back by Yankee Stadium in the South Cloud.
And I just was driving through the neighborhood and I was looking at I noticed there's no change.
Um I'm born and raised in a city, and I remember my father taking me the kids through certain neighborhoods, and you know, he he would show me the street corners, and you you'd see people and he'd say how the next generation, you see the next person, and the age progresses from kids standing on the corner all the way up to elderly people, and it's the same cyclical, you know, same cycle of of poverty.
Uh I'm gonna use the word complaining, some are legitimate and some are not legitimate, but I just can't wrap my fingers around the reason why people would still want to vote for the same people that have suppressed them since the 60s, since 1965, I would say, with the uh, you know, with with the way things had have changed in this country.
Um I I I uh it sounds like you have the same problems in Milwaukee.
Um, I I feel bad because 85% of the people in those neighborhoods are there because they have to be.
And they don't wish it upon themselves.
You know, I'm I'm far from liberal, but I'm being dead honest when I see I see little kids playing in the hydrants with the sprinklers on just a little while ago, and I just look at those kids and I say, uh, it's unfortunate, but probably don't have I hate to say don't have a chance, but it's gonna be tough for them.
Well, I think that the way you put it, don't have a chance, they do have a chance, but it is tough.
Thank you for the call, Joe.
I appreciate it.
It's tough.
Everyone knows I've talked to enough police officers.
They tell me that when they go into central city neighborhoods, that virtually always the young people that are involved in trouble are those that don't have a father in their lives and many times have a mother who's either on drugs or involved in crime or alienated herself.
Those kids that are being raised by intact families or the strong mothers, kids have a far greater chance of getting out ahead.
Now we know that there are exceptions.
There are many people they find something in their life or something inspires them, or they're independent of thought and they avoid the gangs, they avoid the trouble.
They don't get tied up in that life.
With regard to the people that are angriest, I look at sixteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen-year-old young people, primarily male, who live in the central city areas, particularly in my city of Milwaukee.
Many of them have mothers who themselves have been involved in criminality.
They have two, three, four, five, six, seven siblings, often with different fathers.
The fathers aren't involved in their lives.
The school system, the public school system in Milwaukee has a few decent schools, but most stank.
So they've had a poor education.
They're not on path to get a high school diploma.
The only life they know is out there causing trouble.
We have a juvenile court system run by liberals in Milwaukee that continues to put them back on the street, give them a little bit of fake counseling, slap them on the wrist.
You have a welfare state that the United States has created that has allowed people to go on generation after generation after generation without employment.
If I'm raised in that environment, how would I turn out?
I don't know, but I know that I would had a lot greater chance in life being raised in the environment that I was raised in.
The question is who's to blame for this?
The reality is that Republicans, with a few exceptions, the caller was from New York City, New York City is one of them.
Most major American cities haven't had a Republican in charge of anything in them for decades.
Our sheriff in Milwaukee, David Clark, points out that the last time Milwaukee had a Republican mayor was 1908.
What we have had are Democrats or socialists.
They actually ran as socialists in Milwaukee, and a lot of them won.
Since 1960, it's been all Democrats.
They run nonpartisan, but they are members of the Democratic Party.
The majority of the members of the Common Council are liberal.
The school board tends to be extremely liberal.
The public policies that are in place, the social service agencies that are run, they're run by liberals.
Republicans have tried to influence public policy.
In Wisconsin, we have been fighting for years to get kids out of the failed public school system and into private schools through a program called school choice, called school vouchers many places.
We are resisted by the liberals.
They have a vested interest in propping up that failed school system because many of them work in it.
They keep demanding more money for social service programs that they primarily run.
Those of us who have suggested that we need to bring about standards of accountability are rejected as being punitive.
We have tried it for decades the liberal way.
The liberal way is to throw money at the problem, to continue to make excuses for individuals that have caused trouble, continue to put them back on the street until they commit crimes that are so violent that we have to respond to it.
You see where it's turned where it's gotten us.
It has failed.
Now the caller asks why, given the environment that these folks live in, do they keep voting for Democrats?
That answer is simple.
Because Democrats keep promising them more money.
In a short-term situation, of course, you're gonna vote for the candidate that seems to be willing to give you more.
Democrats make it clear, we support increases of the minimum wage, we support increases in food stamp programs.
We're gonna give you this.
You recall the notorious video of the Obama supporter from back in 2012 saying, Well, you know, black woman, why wouldn't you vote for Obama?
He gives you the Obama phone and this and she rattled off all of these social service programs.
So they perceive in the short term that the Democrats are on their side.
The problem, of course, is that these giveaways have done nothing but to create long-term dependency.
They don't work.
But put yourself in the other guy's situation.
You're dead broke, you don't have any employment future.
One party saying oh, you break the law 19 million times, we'll just keep slapping you on the wrist and put you on probation.
Well, if you're breaking the law, that sounds pretty good to you.
If you're dead broke and somebody's going to give you a free cell phone, that sounds good to you.
If you don't have a job and somebody says we're going to raise the amount of money spent on food stamps, that sounds good to you.
The problem is that it doesn't work.
We've tried it their way for decades.
It does not work.
Now the caller mentioned New York City.
New York City has turned around.
I remember when I came here for the first time in my life, and I think it was late 70s or early 80s.
It was eye popping.
It's just like it is in all those movies that are set back in that era.
Looked at Times Square, they were selling drugs.
I could have bought drugs on the street in Times Square.
The strip joints were out there, the hookers were at major streets in the biggest city in the country, hookers openly soliciting people.
The whole time I was there clutching my wallet as I walked down the street because you heard about all the street crime, the murder rate was out of control.
Look at New York City now.
Times Square is Disneyland.
It's probably per capita the safest big city in the United States.
Even neighborhoods in Harlem are now reasonably safe.
Very low murder rate, as I said.
What happened was Rudy Giuliani came in and he changed some things.
He sent the police officers into the neighborhoods to aggressively enforce the law.
He created incentives for businesses to come in and make money in a place where the only businesses that have been operating were running rat holes.
Not everything worked.
And there are still bad relations between a lot of African Americans in New York and police officers.
But things work better.
Trying it a different way helped.
What you have a voter block, however, that is short term focused on all the money that's to be given, and you have so many community leaders who are themselves on one form of a dole after another.
It's hard to break that cycle.
Now, if you think it through logically, we elected an African American as president.
This should have been, aside from Obama's ideology, this should have been a tremendous opportunity to unite the nation.
Obama didn't want to do that.
Can you imagine the difference in the attitude in the African American community if Obama's message had been doesn't matter how difficult you have it.
You can make it in this country.
You could even become president of the United States.
I did.
Look at me and my life.
This is still the country that gives all of its citizens the greatest opportunity of any nation in the world.
So don't get involved in drugs, don't get involved in crime, cooperate with the police, live a decent life, accept God in your life, and you can move forward.
Things can be better.
He never said that.
Instead, he just kept preaching the division.
Every time there was a police shooting, he created the impression it was because it was racist cops.
He keeps put putting out the argument of dividing people.
Well, you don't have a shot.
The Republicans don't care about you.
And he just kept pushing the same old mantra.
If anything, racial relations in America are worse now than when his presidency started.
It should have been an opportunity.
Did he want things not to get better?
On the other hand, there is a silent group of African Americans who I think reject the lifestyle they see around them.
They don't want to live in neighborhoods of crime.
They appreciate it when they see some economic development and jobs.
But if they speak out openly, they become targets.
I mean, you've got a no stitching no snitching mentality in place in so many of these communities where people are terrified of these gags.
They're all running around with guns and they're all threatening people.
They rule these straits.
There are more of them than there are police officers.
If I can give you one lesson from what happened in Milwaukee, it's A, it ended quickly.
Many communities are ready to blow up and are looking for an excuse.
It's how you react to it.
And finally, for the people who keep arguing that if you're African American and you live in a big city in this United States, it means you have no chance.
Ask yourself who's running all of those cities that in which people don't have a chance.
They're all run by liberals.
So who's to blame for the fact that you don't have a chance?
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm filling in today for Rush Libra.
Suffolk, Virginia, Steve, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with the guest host who is me, Mark Belling.
Yes, Mark, I'm another Trumper, and I'm not part of the establishment.
I am a conservative Christian.
Small government, pro-life.
I'm I'm a Kuchinelli Republican for lack of a better word.
And I just I don't I'm getting tired of hearing people accuse me and people like me of electing Hillary Clinton.
That's not at all the case.
Well, what except here's the problem, Steve.
One of them is going to win.
I don't see the libertarian getting any traction.
So one of them is going to win.
That's just reality.
I understand.
So you don't want so I mean, and I I am I have not criticized the people who are never Trumpers for reasons that I explained earlier.
The problem I have is with some of the national people who have very big platforms who have just every single day pound on Trump and pound on the never Trumpers, because I think they depress turnout for all of the other Republicans that are out there, and I also think they exaggerate their point.
In the case of you, what I would encourage you to do is take a look at the values of the things that you believe in and ask yourself which candidate is going to give you a better shot of achieving some of the things that you care about.
And I can't imagine that that's going to lead you to Hillary Clinton.
Unfortunately, I have done I have done exactly what you're describing, and I mean, good grief.
It's a difference between poison and a gunshot to the head.
It's a sad thing.
You think there's no chance that Donald Trump will put good justices on the United States Supreme Court, and no chance and no chance that and no chance that he'll aggressively address ISIS.
Well, I think that he probably will, but I don't think he'll get 60 votes in the Senate for any of the eleven that he's put up.
And then I think we revert to the fact the fact of the matter is that other than Obama's last nominee here, the Republicans confirmed Obama's appointees, and most of the appointees of the president are going are going to be confirmed.
You can tell yourself that he won't achieve any of these things, but that's quite different from your original comment, Steve, that you didn't believe that he would do any of it.
The reality is I think most of the thank you for the call, most of the people who are opposed to Donald Trump know deep down there's a chance that he will govern from the right.
There is no chance that Hillary Clinton is going to govern from any side other than the crooked.
I do want to take a moment on today's program to mention a woman that many of you have never heard of, and the reason you haven't heard of her is the point of the story.
Kim Roadie is the first human being on the planet to win a medal in six summer Olympics.
No one has ever done it.
She won a bronze last week in skeet shooting.
That's the reason you don't know about it.
The Wall Street Journal did an editorial on her today, and I thought that that was a wonderful thing to do.
The reason you don't know about it is that she wins her medals by shooting a gun.
She's also a Republican, strong supporter of the second amendment, and backs Donald Trump.
Six medals in six Olympics on five different continents.
I have to think that if she was an avowed leftist who wishes that she didn't have to shoot a gun in order to win her sport, y'all would know a little bit more about her.
My name is Mark Belling, filling in for Rush.
Mark Belling filling in for Rush from Eastern Command today.
The staff's about to leave and I'll head out to your mansions in the Hamptons, which is where I assume all you rich people uh live.
I do want to mention two other things before we get out of here.
First of all, Ashton Eaton won the gold medal in the decathlon.
He's an American.
This is two consecutive Olympics in which he's won the gold medal.
I would like to offer Ashton some advice.
Learn from your predecessor gold medal to cathletes.
Do not marry a Kardashian.
Doesn't work out.
And this one, there's a big story in today's Wall Street Journal about Arnold Palmer.
And it mentions the famous drink that Arnold Palmer kind of invented that he's known for, which is to mix iced tea with lemonade.
I read this and it says I still drink it today, but now I add a little cherry juice.
Ah!
The Arnold Palmer recipe has changed.
He knows what he's talking about.
Everybody put some cherry juice in your Arnold Palmer.
