Time Text
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
You are tuned to the most listened to radio talk show in America.
You are tuned to the most talked-about host, the most listened to radio talk show in America.
Great to have you here, 800 282-2882.
If you want to send an email, we have a new email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.us.
Now I may slip up, you know, for years I've been giving out the old address.
It's almost a syllabic memory rather than and I may screw up and give out the old address.
Uh if you hear me give out the old address, it's it's not changed.
It's it's the old address is gone.
Um I probably have, and I'm not even aware of it.
I've slipped up a couple times.
But the new address is uh L Rushbow at EIB net US.
Okay, to the audio sound bites we go.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
You're right.
Folks, I uh I'm not gonna be here Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
In addition to Labor Day, we have our best stuff show on on Labor Day.
Uh normally my summer schedule is to take a week in uh in June and a couple of weeks in August, and I have not done that.
I think four or five days in June.
And so broadcast partners came.
You know, you take some time, will you?
I mean, you you uh you you we don't want you burning out.
We've got the election coming up, it's gonna be intense.
So I have been uh forced out of the air chair here Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and I thought this is embarrassing to have to say this.
So I thought about suspending myself.
And then I said, okay, what have I done that I could suspend myself for?
And I couldn't come up with anything.
I thought it would be hilarious to suspend myself.
I used to suspend Snertly for 45 minutes or an hour if he was getting mad and cursing callers.
But he's been on his best behavior for the past bunch of years, so there haven't been any real suspensions here.
Well, at least as far as I know, he's been on they're all laughing in there.
But I tell you one thing we're gonna do.
Um this movie that I talked about an hour ago in the opening monologue of the program, the movie Greater.
I really hope as many of you who have a chance to see it do so.
I I I I don't want to overdo it.
I mean, I don't want to build up expectations to the point that that you watch it and are disappointed.
So I'm just gonna stop.
I'm just telling you that it is such it's just beautiful, and it is so timely, and it is so inspirational.
And it just makes you it makes you wish that the values and the behavior and and the quest for excellence and greatness was dominant in our culture.
And you know it may still be, it just isn't covered.
Uh but this it's it just heartwarming.
It's you'll you'll have every emotion, you'll go through every emotion, the gamut.
But what I think we're gonna do tomorrow, we're gonna get Neil McDonough, who is the star, the male lead.
He was in Justified, he's in suits right now.
He's uh uh great actor, and uh he plays the older brother of Brandon Burlsworth in the movie.
And then the actual brother.
Uh and I think Buck Sexton, our guest host of my buck from the CIA, uh, is gonna have them on to discuss the movie from their perspective.
Even better.
Snertley is setting that up.
You know, we don't do this much.
We don't have bookers and guests.
Well, unless the guest hosts do that, which I, of course, am not ever told about.
But Snerdley is putting that together, so when we get that ironed out, I'll make sure that you know uh when they've had it.
McDonough was executive producer of the movies.
He wasn't just an actor taking the role.
I think he's got a lot of uh.
He's into it.
I mean, the movie I think is something he wanted to be part of.
Now we go to the audio sound bites.
Once again, your host being used as Material for other guests to react to and bounce off of.
Fox News this morning, the uh America's newsroom show, Martha McCallum played a couple clips of me from yesterday on the Colin Capernick Caper, and she had a couple of guests and their reaction here's how it started.
Rush Limbaugh, I'm loaded on all of that yesterday.
Here he is.
It's um ironic that we have now a quarterback who was adopted and raised by a white family, who was scouted and signed by white scouts, was employed by white owners, the National Football League decides now to steal the stage of the National Football League to make personal statements during the week he is about to be cut.
Wow, uh Russia's clearly fired up in that statement.
He obviously follows the NFL extremely closely, and he is very unhappy with what Kaepernick's doing.
So they went to Julie Regensky.
She is uh one of the Fox analysts from the left, and she was asked, Julie, what do you think of all this?
I stand up for the national anthem because I believe in this country and I believe in what the anthem stands for.
If you don't, then don't be a hypocrite.
I get it.
Don't stand up for the anthem if that's what you feel.
And you know, I may not agree with him, but I'll defend to the death has a right to do what he wants to do, which is a free speech issue.
If he doesn't want to stand up for the anthem, don't be a hypocrite.
Martha McCallum next said, it seems if you will protest, you should stand up for the anthem.
You should be saying I live in a country that allows me to speak my mind, and I'm glad that I live in one of the countries in the world where I can pledge allegiance to my flag, and then in an interview in the locker room, I can say what I think about what's going on in my country currently.
I do agree with Rush Limbaugh.
I also think there is significant political correctness within the NFL.
Think about when the players in Dallas wanted to honor the slain police officers with a decal on their helmets, and they were denied that right to do so.
There is a huge dynamic here, and I think the NFL really needs to impose a code of policy, code of conduct for the players to stand for the national anthem.
You know, that that is an interesting point.
I've heard a bunch of coaches, and the coaches have a really, really fine line they have to walk here.
They need their players.
The coaches are nothing without the players performing, and they know it.
The league needs the players.
I mean, nobody's gonna pay to watch the owners have meetings about anything.
The players players are it.
And that puts a responsibility on the players' shoulders.
I mean, they are the product.
And you've got to be very careful how you present that product when it's but see the league, the league has its own culpability here.
The league opened the door to all of this stuff, you could say.
National Hispanic Week, National Hispanic Month, and go all pink in the month of October for breast cancer support to show that uh well, it's here, you know, think about that.
That's marketing.
That's marketing disguised as a social conscience, but it's marketing.
They're trying to appeal to women.
It's it's kind of base in its approach.
And I don't know how effective it is in converting women to the NFL.
They would know I don't.
It obviously works, they keep doing it.
Uh but I it's it's uh anyway, they've opened the door to this.
And when I hear coaches, I mean the coaches tell these players what they can and can't do all the time.
The league does too.
The league has all kinds of rules.
In fact, folks, I have to tell you the National Football League, you can't read about it anymore without reading about suspensions, violations of this policy, violations of that policy.
Sports reporting in the National Football League has changed dramatically.
The coverage is not exclusively about the athleticism of the game, what happens on the field, training camp, or what have you.
It's now a police blotter.
In addition to all of that.
And what's screwy about it is the media seems to relish this estimate.
The milli the media relishes when players get suspended.
The media relishes all this.
It's the oddest thing.
So many people who depend on the success of this league for their living for their reason to exist for their financial wherewithal that what would ever and all the people engaged in trying to, well, I don't know, trying, in activity which could lead to real harm.
It's the most amazing thing to me to watch certain aspects of this.
But in the coach, you know, Kaepernick stands up or sits down and then says what he says, and they go to the coach.
Well, I can't sell a kid what to do.
I can't tell a kid what to say, freedom of speech.
Not for me to say.
Well, it is in every other aspect of the kid's life.
You tell him what time he's got to be in bed.
On road trips and during training camp, the league has all kinds of rules of what these guys can't eat or drink, and boy, you better pray you don't go out and get a weight loss product that's got a banned substance in it as a tiny little ingredient.
You can be suspended for four games not even knowing what you did.
They've got all kinds of rules that players have to abide by, or they can face suspension and fines.
But when it comes to this, protesting America.
Well, nothing I can do, oh no, no, no, no, I can't say a word, nothing I can do about it.
That doesn't wash with me.
Coaches are authoritarians.
Not so much at the pro level, but you get into college and in high school and younger, but coaches are dictators.
Permissibly so.
Maintaining order.
Team unity, the organizational concept of everything, that nobody's bigger than the team.
But just to ensure, I mean, showing up, I mean, Tom Coughlin had a rule.
Former coach of the Giants.
If you had a 9 a.m. meeting at the offense, if the team meetings were at 9 a.m., they actually started at 8.55.
If you showed up at 9 a.m., you were five minutes late and got fined.
So a coach can do that, but no, no, I gotta tell the kid what to do.
I can't tell a kid.
My right to tell a kid what his rights are.
And now we're off in this tangential discussion of rights.
People talking about rights, not even knowing what they are or where they come from.
I'm gonna write to do this, dude.
I'm gonna write, I'm gonna write my dues, man.
I can you don't even know what you're talking about.
Oh, I'm not gonna infringe anybody's rights.
If there's somebody who thinks he's got a right to go out and sell in his ass national hands, not for me to say he's just in the way I don't want to get anywhere near it.
So standing up for the country, nobody wants to go there.
I shouldn't say nobody.
Look at there's some players that get it.
Jerry Rice.
Jerry Rice.
All lives matter, and Kaepernick should stand for the anthem.
Jerry Rice, one of the greatest San Francisco foreigners ever.
All lives matter.
And Jerry Rice is not.
Let's just say it's big for Jerry Rice to say that.
Thank you.
He's not alone.
But the media is trying to encourage other players to follow in Kaepernick's footsteps, because it'd be controversial, it'd be cool, it'd be standing up to authority, it'd be all the things they supposedly like.
Julie Roginski was back.
This this cowboy situation, classic example, a point I made yesterday, and they played this tape on Fox, too.
Here you have the St. Louis Rams can run out on the field and hands up, don't shoot when it never happened.
It never happened.
Hands up, don't shoot is a total lie.
Then the t-shirts that players are wearing.
I can't breathe, which is a miss information piece on the death of Eric Garner.
This is the kid in New York City that was selling black market cigarettes Because the tobacco tax in New York is so high that the black market for cigarettes is thriving.
A guy can make a living doing it.
So for some reason, the cops recalled where he was, and they had to subdue him with a chokehold.
They put him in an ambush.
They had a heart attack on the way to the hospital.
The media reported cops killed him with a chokehold.
Didn't happen.
Story was that he was shot out.
Can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
Cops killed him, chokehold.
Didn't happen.
Had a heart attack.
You know, Rush, well, maybe the choke hole led to the horizon.
No, no, didn't happen.
That's not what.
Anyway.
So the players can do that.
They can hands up, don't shoot.
They can sit down during the anthem, they can wear these I can't breathe t-shirts.
But the Dallas Cowboys asked if they could put a decal on their helmets this season honoring five Dallas police officers who were murdered.
And the league said no.
Nope, you can't do it.
Why?
Why?
Is that too provocative?
Is the league saying, no, no, if we honor cops, we're gonna have problems.
Where are you gonna have problems?
Where are you gonna have problems if you honor the cops?
How in the world could that lead to problems?
I'm asking rhetorically, of course, we all know the answer.
But it's it's sad, folks.
It's sick and it is sad.
They played Martha McCallum played that clip of me saying that went back to Julie Roginski.
I can't believe I'm saying Rush Limbaugh's right about that.
If the NFL is gonna have a policy of allowing people to honor one component and not another, that's wrong.
The NFL should have a consistent policy.
The anthem to me is a little different, though.
The anthem to me is a very personal thing.
And if you believe in what the anthem stands for, as we do, we stand for the anthem.
If you don't, why be a hypocrite?
Don't stand.
Gotta take a break, folks, before they start yelling at me about that.
So we don't.
Okay.
L. Rushbow.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
But the phones, we go Celissa in St. Louis.
Welcome, great to have you here.
Hi.
Hi, thanks so much.
Listen, I'm not a feminist, but I am a woman.
And I am a uh not uh never Hillary person.
In fact, I'm a subset of that, which is that I will crawl on my hands and knees over broken glass to vote against her.
But God forbid she wins.
She is gonna set women back by ages and ages, because all of this stuff is gonna come out.
And all of the stereotypical stuff that people say about women, she's conniving, she's deceitful.
Here we had the first woman president, and it turns out she was, you know, some lady Macbeth, power hungry, deceitful, conniving, lying, cheating.
What do you mean it's all gonna come out?
We already know all that.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
And so it it but I think the the the the evidence which truly proves it to the majority of people, where the media's not going to be able to cover it up.
I mean, I think the the real dirt is there.
Give me an example of what you're talking about when you say the real dirt that the media won't be able to cover up.
What kind of things are you thinking about?
When they find out that there really was a a pay-for-play, where there really was money exchange.
Oh, okay.
Where she she fin she personally financially benefited from deals that were made through the State Department.
Right.
And then the bimbo eruptions, the actual feminist act of destroying the women her husband had abused.
Absolutely.
But why is that stuff not going to come out before the election?
Well, how is it going to come out afterwards?
What's going to enable that to happen?
Because I think that the American media, now maybe the Clintons, I mean the Clintons have been so immune.
It's like they got vaccinated decades ago.
But most of the time, the American media wants to take you down.
I mean, I've learned that from you.
The American media, they build you up, build you up, and then they w take you down.
They love yes.
Yes.
and there's gonna be somebody.
In other words, all it takes is one or two uh uh uh media people, reporters that say this is too big.
This is too big for me to just cut you know, not cover it.
Cover it up.
This is uh I'm fan you you you think that there would be enough anti-Hillary sentiment in the drive by media to after they safely get her elected, then turn on her, as they do on almost all successful people, and what they build up try to take down.
I think there are exceptions to that, though.
And I think the Clintons are such an exception.
I I don't I don't think the Clintons to this day, I mean it all this stuff that you've talked about just now is widely known by the media, they could have taken her out any time they wanted.
And in 2008, you could say that they did in favor of Obama.
Right.
They did.
So my hope would be that this stuff, some of it, enough of it would surface before the election that it would matter.
But there's something else that that drives all this.
That is part and parcel of it.
And that is that Republican branding is so damaged that even if you gin up a bunch of anti-Hillary sentiment, that does not automatically mean people angry enough at Hillary not to vote for her will vote Republican.
That's still a big mountain to climb for a lot of people who've been misinformed for years.
Gonna get back to the phones here in just a second.
But since we were discussing Hillary with the last caller, there's a point that I want to know.
You remember at her uh, I think it was the Democrat Party convention, her acceptance speech when she came out with this proposal to invest in infrastructure and our roads and bridges, and she had this specific figure attached to it, like 250 or 300 billion dollars.
And you remember the reaction that we all had.
Wait a minute, been there done that.
We all started saying to each other, why don't people remember Obama promised none?
He did $800 billion, infrastructure, roads, bridges, schools, none of it has happened.
Here comes Hillary proposing the same thing.
And we ask ourselves, why don't why don't people catch this stuff?
Why don't they catch it on their own?
We don't know that they don't.
It just doesn't seem that this kind of hypocrisy ever attaches itself to Democrats.
Well, get this from the CyberCast News Service.
When Hillary says that she's gonna spend money on infrastructure, that's just half the story.
Because the Obama White House may designate certain state voting systems as pieces of critical infrastructure, quote unquote, which would give federal technology experts more of a role in assisting the administrators of those networks as they deter intrusions.
Josh Ernest, the White House spokesman said this yesterday.
So they're going to turn state voting systems, the machines, the networks, the whole shebang.
They're going to try to redesignate that stuff as critical infrastructure.
And so now when Hillary starts talking about appropriating hundreds of billions of dollars for infrastructure, she can now include the federal government messing around in state.
Election systems, voting systems.
Josh Earnest said, yeah, that's something being discussed by senior members of the president's national security team.
According to a Reuters report, U.S. intelligence officials are worried that hackers, sponsored by Russia or other countries, may attempt to disrupt the presidential election.
The FBI's asking states to boost the security of their voting systems.
And as part of that upgrade, the federal government will now qualify, classify voting systems as infrastructure.
Well, once you let the feds get their money hands in on state voting, so oh my gosh.
They just don't stop.
They just they're just trying to infiltrate and swallow and and surround as much as they can.
Here's uh here's Cheryl in Wilmington, North Carolina.
She wasn't whole for most of the program yesterday.
We ran out of time, so she graciously gave us her number.
We called her back.
How are you doing?
And I'm I appreciate your patience here.
I'm doing great.
First time caller, very longtime listener, and thank God every day that you're still out there being able to do what you do, right?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate that more than you know.
Well, I am I'm gonna try to be brief, but um I know I've only got one shot at this probably, so I am I do not we believe anything in the media.
Um I observe it at a distance and judge it.
And um I was taken back in the last election with Romney.
Um really surprised that it didn't come out the way I thought it would, but this time around I'm really looking at you know, the details.
I'm backing up engaging things and people around me in a different perspective, and and myself as well.
And there is a difference this time around with the people that I talk to, the things that they say, it really surprises me that they're actually coming out and being so blunt with me as they are, and that their concerns are exactly mine.
It's just it's so crazy about how resonant it is when you talk to somebody who ends up being a Trump supporter.
Um might not have been the first choice in the world, but but you know, it is what it is, and and these things that that the media pick on with Trump and what he says and and trying to say things about flip-flopping with this immigration issue and and these other policies, they are just nitpicking at his words, and and to me it displays nothing but a lack of common sense.
Um of the things that I hear these media people say, and you had a caller on yesterday who made that comment, you know, he's gonna lose his base, flip-flopping.
It only takes common sense to to read between the lines.
And then the big deal is this.
Well, now wait, let's let's go back to that caller because the caller was in part chiding me and in in uh in part chiding Fox News.
Because his specific complaint was that during the fall campaign, Trump kept assuring people that illegal immigrants were going to be rounded up and and and deported.
He kept saying, they gotta go.
They gotta go, they gotta go back.
And all the other candidates were out saying, It ain't gonna happen.
We're not gonna round up eleven million, I'm not gonna do it.
I'm telling you the truth, and he's not.
And now that and then so Trump goes on to get the nomination.
Now that the media's reporting Trump is flip-flopping on this and may not send them back, that guy called yesterday.
He was livid that some in the media, including me, didn't call Trump out on it at the time.
And you're calling that nit.
I'm not arguing with you.
I'm just I'm recasting what this guy said so people know what you're referring to.
And you're saying you're saying that that's nitpicking that it's that's not the point, whether Trump's gonna deport him or not.
Not that that has nothing to do with why you support him, right?
And yeah, and you answered it, Rush.
You said they don't care.
And and that that is so true.
Those are minor detail to the majority of people who are supporting Trump.
And it's the same thing with the tax return thing.
I do not care what is in Donald Trump's tax return.
Do you know why?
Because he's not a career politician.
He made his money in the private sector doing something else, and I don't care where his money came from or what his tax return says.
If he were a career politician, I would say that it is required.
But I just don't feel like it is a big deal.
I have tried, and I'm sure you've heard this if you're a regular listener.
I've tried all last fall to explain to people why people like you and others support Trump and why you're not going to abandon him.
I I I I I got blue in the face trying to explain it.
I know you have.
And there is an energy here, Rush.
That would we they Had a I didn't go to it, I I actually drove around.
He had a little rally here a couple weeks ago, and I thought, well, I'm gonna go drive around in the building and look at it.
And the energy and the the spirit that it you can just feel the electricity, you can see the people looking at each other that were this is the thousands that were outside of the building that never got in.
Yeah, yeah.
That stayed there.
Now, you know, I this may be isolated.
You made some some recent remarks the other day I was listening um, you know, saying that the same thing happened when Romney had his election.
Um and and that may be very true, but I did not see or feel or hear the energy or the excitement that I didn't think.
The Romney excitement was in the last week.
It was not throughout.
It was just the last week, and predominantly in Colorado, actually, if you want to get specific.
But let me go let me go back.
One of the things that I've tried to explain to the media and the political professionals of of many years, that it's tough for them to get outside the uh the bubble that they live in.
I mean, to them politics is a it's a science and it is a behavioral system, and there are certain things, there are rules.
And if you flip-flop on an issue, you're dead.
You just you can't survive.
And if it's your number one issue politician.
And if it's your number one issue, oh my God, you're finished, you're over with.
And they thought that's what Trump was doing when they thought he was flip-flopping on deporting eleven million people.
Right.
And even so many details.
Well, there's so many details surrounding something like that.
There is no way on God's green earth, as from a especially when you have experience from a business perspective, that you're going to approach something like that, but see the election say, this is how it's going to happen.
It's just not going to happen.
You've got to go as you as you know as you're approaching it.
That's right.
And my my effort has been to try to explain to them why that Trump is immune from this traditional way of analyzing the fates and fortunes of candidates.
You even had the guy, and he was a nice guy.
I he was he was just frustrated.
The guy who called yesterday, he was upset that uh he's and he's not a political professional, he's a voter, but he think Trump's Trump should pay a price for the flip-flopping because he misled you.
You misled all the supporters, and he was mad at me for helping Trump mislead you.
And my realization all along has been that you support Trump for primarily one reason.
And there are there are trees that come off of this one branch here.
But there's the primary reason that Trump is supported.
And I it's tough to nail one because there are actually many.
But the primary thing is he's not one of them.
He is a genuine outsider.
He's not a Washington politician claiming to be an outsider.
He really is.
And his genuine enough to confirm that each and every appearance, each and every time he's on television.
So he's not gonna be held to the standard that other politicians are held to by people like you, because you trust that the big picture that Donald Trump is gonna make America great again.
He's gonna reorder things in such a way not even and not even that rush.
Here's the bottom line that I feel with this thing.
These never Trumpers and people who are freaking out, I can't vote for him, I can't vote for him.
Here is the bottom line.
We are in dire straits here.
We are sitting here on the cusp of something that's gonna go one way or another.
And even if he gets in there and makes things temporarily worse than they already are, at least we've got somebody there that is talking about putting a screeching halt on some of these things that if it goes the other way may never ever be able to be corrected or reversed.
That is the issue here.
Okay, good.
That's exactly the bottom line.
I mean, he has reached the last moment to save America as we've known it in your mind.
And Trump represents that.
And therefore, you're not gonna abandon him.
Did you hear what she just said, folks?
Trump could say he gets elected.
He could actually do some things that make it worse for a while.
That's okay too.
That's okay as long as it isn't Hillary, As long as it isn't the same bunch of people from the same crowd of people that got us in this mess that screwed up the college education that screwed up the student loan business, screwed up the economy, that screwed up everything.
As long as it's not one of those, there's going to be tolerance and acceptance.
But meanwhile, the political professionals are all analyzing this like uh gamblers analyze the point spread of a football game.
Looking at the injury report, they get down deep in here and what this means, and every poll is analyzed like it's the last poll, and what does it mean?
And none of that matters to a to a Trump supporter.
This I have instinctively known since day one.
Now all of these wizards of smart.
Well, I don't think it's good.
Look, I've taken break.
Uh but Cheryl, I appreciate the call.
Very articulate.
If you never get back in again, you can always count on the fact you did a bang up job here.
You made the most of your one chance.
Although I think you'll probably get back.
The odds are in favor of it.
Sticking with the phones.
We have a nine-year-old on the phone from uh Cherryfield, Maine.
This is Riley.
Riley, thank you for calling.
It's really great to have you on the program today.
It's great for me because I've been waiting all summer for you to for someone to pick up, and today I got lucky.
You've been waiting all summer to get through to the program?
All summer and almost all winter.
Wow.
And you're you're nine years old.
What did you want to get through to do?
What'd you want to say?
Um, I wanted to tell you how great you are, and you're the smartest person I know, and if you taught me in school, I would I would even want to go to school on weekends.
You mean you really you want to learn?
Yeah.
You just want to acquire knowledge.
You want to listen so much so that you'd be willing to go to school.
That's nine years old.
Oh, that's amazing, Riley.
I I'm I'm I'm speechless.
I don't I don't know um I don't know what how many people do you know?
A lot.
Oh.
Oh man, this is incredible.
Well, um what do you like learning the most?
I like math the most.
Math.
Yeah, we talk about math a lot here in in in related way.
We do.
We do.
But do you know it?
You're nine years old.
Do you know yet what you want to do?
Has that occurred to you, or are you just open-minded and um I want to be in the military and I'm already a farmer.
You're already a farmer and you want to be in the military.
Nine years old.
So what grade does that put you in?
Second, third grade?
I'm going into fourth.
Going in fourth grade, yeah.
Well, uh, let me see.
Riley, I assume I'm just gonna ask you, do you have you read the Rush Revere?
I'm reading it.
I'm reading it um not right now.
Um reading it.
Which one are you reading?
First one.
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.
Yep, and the brave pilgrims.
Right.
Well, I'll tell you what, if you'll hang on here, uh Mr. Snerdley will get your address up there in uh in Cherry Field, Maine.
And I want to send you a uh a gift package of stuff from us here at the EIB network as a measure of thanks to you and your parents for giving this program and what we do here so much of your time and uh and attention.
And I can't tell you, uh, Riley, how gratifying it is that you find it worthwhile.
And I'm I'm extremely appreciative of your of your compliments and your your uh your kind words to me.
And I uh I I hope that uh you continue this desire to learn.
I didn't get it until I quit school, strangely enough, and I really was not overcome with the realization that I was gonna have to acquire now until I quit.
I I didn't like school at all.
And so if uh if you've got this fever for learning at nine, there's no stopping you.
I hope that keeps up for you.
Up for me too.
Well, it will.
It will.
You just uh keep uh keep uh Kim the phone on hold here.
Don't don't hang up so we can get your address to send you the uh the goodie package.
That's nine-year-old Riley in Cherry Field, Maine.
And we will be right back.
Don't go away.
Yep, that lesbian farmer story is still alive out there.
Lesbian farmer stor.
You know what it's classic.
It's a Washington free beacon story.
So I see it, and I report it, repeat it, actually repeat it, and I add some unique uh commentary to it, and it gets a life of its own in New York Daily News, at New York magazine, the advocate, uh Conan O'Brien, and it's uh it's still percolating out there, the lesbian farmer story.
This is where the USDA was uh offering financial grants to lesbians uh to become farm babes.
