Le Show; 1997-11-23; 1997-11-30

That's why you should be listening on their day after Thanksgiving, because Harry Sharer puts that question to some of the finest civil servants I've ever known. John Erlichman, Aigoo Krog, John Dane, other farmer administration appointees such as Who Is Deep Throat, an NPR's 25th Anniversary Watergate Special, all day, Friday the 28th, beginning at 9. It's their privilege. And it's in 10 seconds 10 a.m. That will be time, ladies and gentlemen, for today's edition of Lesho, you were warned. Well, sometimes people ask me Harry, they do call me Harry. They don't, I don't let them call me Mr. Sharer. To me, that's, you know, that's, I don't know, that's for people who are on commercial radio, but they say Harry, is there ever a theme to your shows?

If you were doing your show, let's say on television, would there be a theme each week? And I say, well, you know, sometimes some weeks, some weeks, the Lord of Events, the Lord of Reality, gives you a theme. This week, it's plopped right here in my lap, ladies and gentlemen, a theme. The question, well, you know, this would be sort of, I've now taken a few steps back to run up to the theme. You know, of course, a cliche of most sports, especially baseball, but I think else, well, especially baseball is, keep your eye on the ball. Keep your eye on the ball, which of course begs the question, how do you define what the ball is? Which is, of course, this week's theme. People may be keeping their eye on the ball, they just may misunderstand what the ball is. Herald Rivera, the host of the most popular interview program on CNBC, that's like being the most popular girl with braces at the prom, has accepted an offer to jump

to the Fox Network as the host of a nightly newscast and an interview program. Top executives at NBC, which owns CNBC, they'll try to keep Rivera by matching the offer to give him more exposure on NBC, possibly including NBC news programs. The problem is Fox really wants him and NBC only kind of wants him. Now, here's, here's where it fits into our theme. The NBC executive's favorable remarks this week did not match Mr. Rivera's previous impression of how the president of NBC news Andrew Lack feels about him, says somebody close to Rivera. Rivera says he's been blocked from a new deal at NBC because Mr. Lack strongly opposes giving him any role at NBC News. NBC executives now say, but there's a reason though. Herald doesn't say tonight often enough. NBC executives now say

Lack was not actively opposing the deal with Rivera. The associate of Rivera doubts whether NBC can match the offer saying a full-scale embrace by the NBC News division would be needed. In order to match NBC would have to make him the second biggest star on NBC News after Tom Broca. Okay, so where, where, which is the ball here? Well, one of her, Herald made his big, excuse me, Mr. Rivera. He's heraldo during the day. See because it's commercial television. Heraldo made, Mr. Rivera made his biggest impact on the ratings at CNBC, of course, by being a relentless opponent of OJ Simpson during the OJ Simpson trial. One of OJ Simpson's closest friends is NBC Entertainment President Don Olmeyer as an attempt to salvage the deal with Rivera since they had

of NBC News don't like him. Rivera has been offered three specials a year on NBC television. The offer coming not from the news division, but from Don Olmeyer at the Entertainment Division. Keep your eye on the ball, but that's not thematic enough. President Clinton's choice for Ambassador to Luxembourg has had his confirmation held up in the final moments of the Senate session this year. Republicans had originally, well, Republicans objected to approval of the nominee. James C. Hormel air to the spam fortune because he's openly gay. Now, you decide, ladies and gentlemen, where the ball, where the ball would be that you want to keep your eye on that particular story.

Spam openly gay spam air next for Ambassador to Luxembourg and the Republicans reason for delaying the confirmation is that they feared that he would use his Ambassador position in Luxembourg to promote the gay rights agenda, which of course, as you know, involves a great deal in Luxembourg. Gays have had their eyes on Luxembourg because they, you see, have their eye on the ball and know that if you get Luxembourg, you've got the high ground in Europe for promoting the gay rights agenda. All right, is that sufficiently thematic for you? Or should I go back to Harada? Now, excuse me, Mr. Rivera, we'll hammer this theme into the ground as this broadcast continues because, hello, welcome to the show. She takes a sip that turns away who don't's meeting with the stride. There's nothing I can do

I'll say to change my mind. But it's not worth it appeals. No, it's not worth it appeals. Drop the farmer for my head and let me in. I'll hold out dead. Nothing's not worth it appeals. After all, I'm an asshole. I'm too late to pass. I want to leave my pain. Every failed attempt just makes me stronger than before. But it's not worth it appeals. No, it's not worth it appeals. Drop the farmer for my head

and let me in. I'll hold out dead. Nothing's not worth it appeals. After all, it's not worth it appeals. After all, nothing's not worth it appeals After all, it's not worth it appeals. Drop the farmer for my head and let me in. I'll hold out dead. Nothing's not worth it appeals After all, it's not worth it appeals.

After all, it's not worth it appeals. After all, it's not worth it appeals. After all, it's not worth it appeals. After all, it's not worth it appeals.

After all, it's not worth it appeals. After all, it's not worth it appeals. More examples of people focusing on the wrong thing, ladies and gentlemen,

The big, big chain, miles long chain of berms, chain, chain, chain of berms has been constructed along the beach here at the edge of America to protect us against the non-existent threat of El Nino, it's right. I'm reversing myself again. What is it? 80 today in Southern California? Beautiful, sunny day, waves are like two inches big, it's, it's, it's bull, it's bologna. It's, it's total, total fantasy, this El Nino thing, ladies and gentlemen, you know, I, as Los Angeles becomes more increasingly multicultural, it's good to know that there is more Spanish being spoken on television here in Southern California, unfortunately, almost all of it is two words, El Nino. But, no, here, here, here's another example of somebody who just has her eye on the ball, but it may be the bat she's watching instead. Here is Sarah Ferguson, the, what was she? What was her title? Nobody can remember.

Fergie, Princess of Fergie. I want to sign on and get a proper show, so maybe have four specials a year, and this is my career. I want to career in television. I want to be a television host. I would, I would like to be in television, but I don't want my own talk show. Yeah, I want to sign on, this is my career. I want to sign on. She wants to be a transmitter, apparently. This is my career. I want to be nice if you could just announce that and it would be, it would be so. Singer actor is Courtney Love. Oh, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, this is a, I've just been advised. This is a momentous occasion. This is a momentous, momentous, momentous period of time here at Los Show, two weeks away from ending this program's 14th year on the air. Who knows what will be next? Probably it's 15th. And this is the last week of service to this broadcast.

Completing is eight year in the role of Jim is Jim. According to sources, you know, you were the source. Why don't you? I've been the source. You know, I mean, for that, you were the source. That that I was the source of. Jim, ladies, gentlemen is. I'd laughed on Jim's mic, none of my own. I coughed, excuse me, Jim is leaving the program to pursue his career. As an actor and a professional laughter. I've gone this frog in my throat, Jim. Is that the one or better frog? It's, it's, it's a, what's his name? Who knows? Lame, lame program, Jay Frog, singer actress Courtney Love has purchased the Beverly Hills area home of comedian actress Ellen DeGeneres for about the same $3 million price that DeGeneres paid for the same house earlier this year. According to sources, DeGeneres had acquired the home before she and actor. Ladies, gentlemen, this is the real estate column and its choice of words is actor and H. Actor and H. Before she and actor and H.

became companions in April the same month that DeGeneres ABC sitcom became the first prime time series to feature and openly gay lead character. The couple recently bought a larger house in another part of Los Angeles for about $2 million. According to sources, the 33 year old love, who was an admitted drug user after the suicide of her husband, Grunge Rock, Grunge Rock King, Kurt Cobain, kicked off a series of anti drug public announcements earlier this month. Love, who was at a residence in Seattle was renting in the LA area before she started looking several months ago for a house to buy on the west side. The home has three bedrooms and about 5,000 square feet built in the 30s and recently refurbished it is on three acres behind gates with a swimming pool and a long private drive, probably too long for actor and H. No, you were, Jim, you're not a professional chuckler. You the laugh or don't laugh. Get it, you know, laugh or get off the pot. Jeopardy host. Oh, will I be able to continue today?

Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, it is so unprofessional to cough and clear your throat on the air. So I'll be doing that for you today. Thank you. Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, who owns a number of acres in the Hollywood Hills, has put two parcels in the Curson Heights area on the market, one at just under $60,000. The other at $325,000. Those are just land. Trebek once planned to build a home on the Hollywood Hills land, which he bought in 1990, the same year he was married. But he and his wife, Jean, moved instead from a mollhole and drive bachelor pad, which he designed and built to a family style home they bought in the San Fernando Valley. The difference, I guess, is no wet bar. That'd be the difference between a bachelor pad and a family style home. The Madonna home, where Madonna, the mod, the Malibu home, where Madonna and actor Sean Penn married in 1985, has been listed at $10.9 million.

At the time of the wedding, the house was owned by a Penn family friend who later sold it, said sources, built in 1980. The eight bedroom, we're going to miss you so much. Thanks. The eight bedroom, a house on a point, doom, bluff, D-U-M-E, ladies and gentlemen, not D-O-O-M, for those of you out of town, has 20-foot tall walls of glass. That'll be good when a Nenio comes. But there won't be one, two guest houses at pool tennis court and about 260 feet of ocean frontage. And it's, of course, as we now know, visible from helicopters. The property can be purchased as a two-acre home or split as the house with the pool tennis court and guest house on one acre, at $7.9, and a one-acre lot next door for $3.5. The owners, a businessman and his wife, are selling the home because they have four other houses in the Ellie area and are, quote, just not using this one. Set a source. No, there's not too much money in certain parts of town is there. Four other houses, they weren't using this one.

Okay, that's how, that's how hot the property is, and that's Jim's final performance, ladies and gentlemen, in the role of Jim. Thank you very much. You want to hear it for yourself, Jim? Sure. No, I mean, you have to clap for yourself. Oh, there you go. Jim, ladies and gentlemen, clapping for himself. You may not be aware of the biggest, you know, this is APEC conference, Asian Pacific Economic Conference going on right now in Vancouver, all the summit of all the heads of the Asian Pacific, the Pacific Rim countries. And the big problem they're facing is the dominoes. The domino theory was not correct as it applied to the politics of Southeast Asia during the time of the Vietnam War. It's proving to be correct as it applies to the economies of Southeast Asia, one after another crumbling as their banking systems, well, the banks, you know, just did what no sane banking system would do. Unless it was the United States one a decade ago, just made a lot of bad real estate loans.

So first Thailand and Singapore were having problems. Now it's South Korea. South Korea is having serious banking crisis. The, oh, Indonesia had it too. Bad. The President Clinton called for a International Monetary Fund bailout for Indonesia, home of James Riyade, his good friend. Now there may be a bailout of South Korea to prevent the so-called Asian economic flu from spreading to Japan. If it does, of course, say goodnight, Gracie. But the front runner in the next presidential election South Korea less than a month away, he's got his eye on the ball. He held a meeting this week with Michael Jackson. That's right. Jim Day Jung held a meeting Friday with Jackson to discuss making music together.

Jackson pitched in with his own invitation for Kim to attend a World Children's Summit. Oh, man. A World Children's Summit. Sounds like a candy store to me. The currency crumpled to a long time low, but the Kim Day Jung suggested that he and Jackson get together calling to compose a song calling for peace in Korea. He also asked Jackson to invest in the country. Well, that's a little closer. We're in all black ensemble with red trim colors topped off with his trademark black hat and dark glasses. Jackson hugged Kim during their photo up. Jackson's four day visit to the South Korea was apparently aimed at a major investment in a financially troubled ski resort. Would that be making that into a theme park too? You know, he had his eye on Poland for a theme park. I don't know what's happened to that. He flew into South Korea on a surprise visit to discuss investment projects with a South Korean underwear maker sang bang wool company.

Ouch, a hole, wool underwear. I hope it's a conglomerate. I hope wool, you know, is the name of what they used to do. Sang bang wool company. The company has been discreet about Jackson's visit and his subsequent activities refusing to reveal the tales of their talks. The company operates a big ski resort which has encountered severe financial problems. Jackson asked for a large equity investment in the ski resort project, which will also include, here we are, a theme park for children. Of course. The deal was already made with Jackson, says one television news broadcast bill that children's park to be named Neverland Asia. Where some lucky kids could perhaps spend the night with a singer of their choice. Okay, so maybe that's not totally thematic. How about this? Barbie is getting a facelift.

More than just a simple niff and tuck, her hips are too wide, her breasts are too big, and her waist is too narrow. So the people who make Barbie are giving her a total makeover. We're changing her face and we're changing her body, says Sean Fitzgerald of Mattel. The changes are a reflection of the tastes of Barbie's target audience. We're looking for a cooler, hipper, and more physically realistic version of the doll. If the current Barbie were enlarged to life size proportions, she would have measurements of 38, 18, 34. Three-year-old girls want a cooler, hipper, more realistic Barbie, you see. Barbie's new face is more youthful, sporting less makeup, and a softer hairstyle than the platinum blonde, wide-eyed version that has been a staple. Are they leaving the staple in? There's less makeup, and it's more subtle. It's more reflective of current fashion. This is the doll's third face. She was introduced in 1959 with a look considered sophisticated at the time, sultry, pouty lips, and downcast eyes. She was modified several times to get eyelashes, and a slight smile.

Hey, worked for Da Vinci, but her most drastic transformation came in 1977, which she got her superstar face. The average American girl owns eight Barbie dolls up from just one in the early 80s. Well, that's reason enough not to vote for a woman for president, I'd say. Right there, ladies and gentlemen, reason enough. We're gonna run, and jump in a shower, we're gonna slide. Way back in the country, there are the blades, where they treat you right.

You just bring it down and jab, you're on the bed. Now they're a girl, a way down south, and got your way on a different bone than my way up. There will guess some love, you're gonna bring it down and jab it wrong. Now look at me, Lord, I think I've got a time, but I can do it. Now I'm jumping all the time, I live on a straight through the bone, I'm just bringing it down and jab it wrong. Well, if you want to eat your mind, just go on, take it to the hell when you're down.

Well, that's all right, you just bring it down. Take it to the hell when you're down. Well, that's all right, you just bring it down and jab it wrong. Now on the other hand, ladies and gentlemen, some people have always had their eye on the ball. When John Glent is from the Washington Post, when John Glent lifted into space on his Mercury capsule,

in 1962, military planners at the Pentagon were thinking if the astronaut failed to come down again, they would blame Fidel Castro. The proposal was called Operation Dirty Trick, and according to long secret documents made public this week, the idea was to provide irrevocable proof that should the Mercury manned orbit flight fail the fault lies with Cuba. That could be accomplished, the planner suggested in a February 2, 1962 memo by manufacturing various pieces of evidence, which would prove electronic interference on the part of the Cubans. Glent, of course, returned safely. But the memo addressed to Air Force Brigadier General Edward G. Landsdale, head of Operation Mungoose, an elaborate scheme aimed at promoting revolt in Cuba, was full of other suggestions. There was, for example, Operation Good Time, which would have fabricated a photograph of, quote, an obese Castro with two beauties in any situation desired, near a table brimming over with the most electable Cuban food accompanied by the caption, myration is different.

This should put even a commy dictator in the proper perspective with the underlying masses, the memo said. It's all right, a Pentagon memo using the word masses. This was classified records made public by the assassination records review board, a small agency overseeing the release of records related to the assassination of John Kennedy, 34 years ago yesterday. Operation Dirty Trick, ladies and gentlemen. So, however, now back to the subject of the incessant mixing of show business and politics as in Michael Jackson, solving the Korean currency mess by investing in a ski resort. We here in Southern California this week had another in our parade of world leaders. We had the Chinese president a few weeks ago, President Clinton last Sunday. This past week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in town and he admitted that he has a dream to be just like movie superhero Arnold Schwarzenegger.

That's what he told Schwarzenegger when the two of them met for a tour at the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance. I'm not, I'm not making this up. Why would I do that? Reporters could not hear the entire conversation between the two men, but they did overhear Netanyahu telling Schwarzenegger, quote, I've seen all your movies, maybe I should act like that, unquote, maybe he should. But this time, let's make it stick. Sometimes a man has to do what he thinks is right. So, yes or error fact, we meet at last. Mr. Netanyahu, welcome to my humble tent.

Sorry, sir, but I've never been one to loiter with intent. Shalom, baby. Next stop, mecca. Sometimes there's even a girl. Baby, I'm a Palestinian, but what I feel for you doesn't understand borders or passports. Herman, I may be a Jew, but I'm still a man. We could get away from all this. Just us. Just two lovers bailing out of a screwed-up world. I know a dentist with a sweet little place in Maui, but Herman, there's only one thing bigger than my love for you. What's that, baby? My hatred for your people make love to this, baby. Netanyahu's back. And this time, he never left. So, Mr. Netanyahu, what defense do you have against my thousands of anthrax spores?

I guess you're right, Mr. Hussein. I guess this little game's just about over. Do one of us sad to lose, don't you think? Yeah. Oh, sedan. Yes? Is that a poison-tipped micro-missile that just penetrated your pelvic tissue? Or were you just glad to see me? The final solution to the Arab problem is total settlement. Netanyahu in total settlement starts fighting nationwide. If you've seen that much to me, if you've probably been, then excuse me.

Please don't keep me girl, don't you go. Ain't you proud of me, baby, baby. Please don't keep me girl, don't you go. Now, I heard a crime man, his half the man, with no sense of pride. If I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weeping, if you'll keep you by my side. Ain't you proud of me, sweet darling, if you don't need me girl, don't you go. Ain't you proud of me, baby, baby. Please don't keep me girl, don't you go. If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day, just to keep you from walking away, let your friends laugh, even this I can stand, cause I wanna keep you. If I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weeping, if you don't need me girl, don't you go.

Now, I got a love so deep in the pit of my heart, and each day it grows more and more. I'm not ashamed to come and plead to your baby, to plead and keep you from walking out the door. Ain't you proud of me, sweet darling, if you don't need me girl, don't you go. Ain't you proud of me, baby, baby, please don't keep me girl, baby, baby, baby. I wonder if Ellen's show is seen in Luxembourg, cause that, man, that would be the place you'd want to advance.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is, here's good news for, I guess for the Hormel Air, man's ultimate ancestor was a pig-like creature, which lived. It was the thing that gets banned from, I guess, which lived 250 million years ago in a South African desert. According to scientists investigating one of the least known periods of prehistory, the Permian Era. The discovery overturns existing theories that the first mammal emerged during the time of the dinosaurs in the Permian Era before the dinosaurs swine-like beasts living in herds ruled the world. Scientists have found that the listrosaur, excuse me, listrosaur, a pre-jurassic pig was an early mammal and a direct precursor to Homo sapiens. Almost all traces of life in the Permian period were wiped out by an unknown natural disaster.

So these may have been pigs with air conditioners that used too much CFCs for all we know, paving the way for the arrival of the dinosaurs. Paleontologists discovered, however, that one early mammal survived footprints and fossils baked into rock in the remote caroo area of South Africa reveal the creatures struggle against climatic change. Scientists have been able to build up a picture of the Earth's first warm-blooded being, man's earliest known ancestor. The listrosaur is a missing link in the evolutionary chain. They discovered from fossil matter that the list- maybe I shouldn't even try to read these because I can't pronounce any word today. The listrosaur had a series of very thin bones called terminates in its nasal passages, a vital biological prerequisite for the development of higher brain function. It is our distant ancestor, says Peter Ward, a British zoolologist who's coordinating the project. They were pig-like creatures, which shuffled around very close to the ground with large teeth poking out.

That was where our ancestors all right. The slow, placid animal resembled a wild boar and had a flexible, fleshy snout, allowing it to eat plants growing in crevices where other animals could not reach them. On another subject, having no relationship to what I just read you, ladies and gentlemen, no count on Tom Broca saying the word tonight this week. A lot of people said we were focusing on trivialities to be doing that study, so we turn our attention instead to another anchor. All three networks pointed with pride to the fact that they didn't panic and send any of their anchors out to the Middle East during the Iraqi crisis this week. But CBS did send its anchor, Dan Rather, to the Pacific Northwest. No, not to Vancouver's side of the economic summit, to Seattle, basically to make nice with the local affiliate there. In the process, he anchored the CBS evening news Thursday night from an outdoor location in a Seattle that was cold and wind blown here from sources high at CBS News.

What Dan was focusing on shortly before broadcast. What are we going to do? The question is, what do we do without the coach? I, folks, take a walk and find out. Jeff would prefer to do without the coach. On the other hand, I would prefer not to be the frozen anchor man. Great. Matter of fact, AJ was going to bring some. Okay, so I don't know. We don't have much. Yeah. See everybody thinks about. I think it's your comfort level, I think. Yeah. Well, it's going to be cold, but. What's good? You know what? The green. It's good. Is it? The green is good. Okay. No need a scar. No need a scar. No thing so? No. Now, let's try it without it. Green is good because it's sun.

Well, you can thank Jean for that because she said take your green coat. You know what? If we wear the coat between now and now, I think that we're going to be all right. Good. Does that look very nice? No, does that look good? It looks just a little, a little hot on this side, Tom. Where were you? Which camera were you on? Here we are. You know what? I think you should. When we're doing this, it's face needle. Right? Which is right now? I'm coming out of the top of your head. Well, that's it. Over the right shoulder. Glad camera right? Yes. I saved you me. There we are. I see you want to space me. Before enough? Probably a little more now. Yeah. Probably a little more left. Thanks. Yeah. I think Jeff what we try to do. Now let's see the coat. Please. Thank you. It's going to get rough, but when do you have a coat? Yes, sir.

All right. If you could move just one hair to your left, that's all right. Now we're just trying something. That's what we do. I think so. What do you think? Yeah. We take it off. I think we need to be consistent. Here's the thing. We, the broadcast is not for another 45 minutes. Temperature. When will be up in the temperature be down? Yes. What do you think? But it looks so wind blown this way. I mean, I think the coat looks fine. I agree with you. The coat's subtle. But what do you think? Do you see how it feels when it comes out? OK. You can just go with it. It's not going to affect the light because it's not both dark.

OK. Let's see how it builds. OK. Now, here's the question. Are we going to be able to build in? Of course, the wind's coming right off the water right now, isn't it? I was thinking about trying to build some kind of wind break. What are we going to do? There's this thing pull over. It's so easy. But it's noisy. He's going to call it out. He's adjusted. I don't know, Jeff. If you do, if you wear the collar, I think the collar down. Definitely not. You want the collar? Absolutely. Nobody wears a trinket with the collar down. I think it's distracting. Well, my concern about the coat would be distracted. You put it down. It's nice. That's up. Doesn't look like geeky. Doesn't look like geeky. I think we ought to try to do it without it. That's what I honestly think.

Whether we can do that or not, I don't know. I think you can. What we don't want to do is look cold. We've got a belt to whiskey. We've got to get a belt to whiskey. Just before we start. You might bring a whiskey. Totally after. Harry? Yeah. It's definitely not. We want to be really alert between 6.30 and 7.15. Any changes in the rack story because it's the time of day if it's going to change, it might change. Okay. And the other thing is who's watching the Japanese markets? Actually, that's a question. It might change as well when you have somebody wants to. Okay. We want to... Well, it's clear to me we should take this broadcast at noon when the weather was better. Exactly. The night from Seattle. Is that where you want it?

You want that needle that far over? The night from Seattle, here's what we're working on. The latest on the air, like I can't say. And those high-tech satellites. Let's rehearse it one more time on the front, okay? Should we say from Seattle it's going to look weird if we don't. From Seattle, here's what we're working on the latest on the air rack crisis. And those high-tech satellites in Japan, we'll show you how it will help scientists to give us a better early warning. But our needle and we'll store it. That's great. No, put it right in the pocket. It's working fine, Eric. How are you doing? How about that? That's a little better. Leave it at that. Thank you. I won't be letting it go. Eric, what do you think now? Eric, a lifetime of nut. The Jeff is insistent to keep our collar down. But I never... I never warned a clue. It'll manage it. That one now looks Eric.

It's not us, it's the upwind. What's happening? They're saying it's gone. They're saying it's gone. I said it's gone for a while. From Seattle, here's what we're working on. Tonight on KDKA from Seattle, we'll introduce you to the scientists who invented the Oninio watch. And he says this year's Oninio is something special on KDKA at seven. Okay, not our best take, but let's live with it. Okay. We need to move on. Now, we need to make a decision. Code or no code. I think it should go. When he leans in, it takes care of that one. You should go with code. Do you? Yeah. Take it down. Let's give it a call. Yeah. He leans in, code will pop it down. He takes care of it almost perfectly. Okay. We have a decision here. Yeah, we have a decision here. Yeah, where do you look good? Okay. We'll talk to you later. You look fine. Headlines are way ahead. Well, no, but I knew. Oh, I know. You're trying to make a list. Okay, can we do a headline? I've also got a skin detail around it. Sorry. Hope it's not too far.

Thank you. We're a little worried about the code. We decided to go with it. It's cold. There's no getting around it. Good. Thank you. All right. All right. Cool. Ready for headlines? And Jeff likes the collar down. Yes, we're ready. I'm sorry. I like the collar up. But what can I tell you? Jeff, are you ready for headlines? We're ready for headlines, too. Yes, headlines. Yeah. Yeah. Dan's ready for headlines. Okay. What is it? Eric's a little concerned about that. Well, pal, where are you getting them when? Okay. We'll tape them down. I guess we'll tape them down. We can get them down. Yeah, Mark. Hot glue. Yeah. Black tape. Or they do come loose. You won't see the black. Good idea. So we have time to do that. Let's go in. Yeah. We're in a stack here. They didn't come off this screen. There's a black tape right there. Okay. I got some clear tape right here. We're doing something for the station. But that's later. That's later. Okay. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah. A decision has been made. Some might say that Dan didn't have his eye on the ball there. It got distracted momentarily by Iraq and the Japanese markets. But, you know, those things, they come and go.

Cold acrimand syndrome can linger for days. Your day breaks, your mind aches. You find that all the words are kind of slinging on when she no longer needs you. She wakes up, she makes up. She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurt. She no longer needs you. And in her eyes you see nothing. No side of love beyond the tears, cried for no one. I love that shit at last it is. You want her, you need her. And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead. You think she needs you. And in her eyes you see nothing. No side of love beyond the tears, cried for no one.

I love that shit at last it is. You stay home, she goes out. She says that long ago she knew someone. But now he's gone, she doesn't need him. Your day breaks, your mind aches. There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head. And in her eyes you see nothing. No side of love beyond the tears, cried for no one. I love that shit at last it is. Fresh limbo back, pursuing self-adulation and broadcasting to its verbose zeniths.

The limbo institute for advanced conservative studies resumes its relentless pursuit of those who fear it. The search for truth stops here my friends because we found it. Interesting thing that's happened here people. And it's important that you recognize it. Recognize what it is because the liberals will try to use it against us. They call us haters because in their definition anyone who spends a week of national radio air time ventilating a series of what turn out to be species charges against them automatically is a hater.

Simple as that. So what we haters have to do my friends is to understand exactly what just what went on here what just went on here. My friends if you've somehow been locked in a limbo free zone this week let me remind you of what's been happening here on the broadcast. Let me bring you up to date a little bit of a limbo update. Last Wednesday in site magazine my friends reported something that we've been talking about on this program since we ran out of any other material. The charge that the Clinton administration was giving burial plots and Arlington national cemetery to its big donors. It's fat cats just like the Lincoln bedroom just like administration foreign policy. The most sacred ground on this continent was for sale. Good story. Couple of Republican congressmen picked it up.

The so-called mainstream media awoke from their do's long enough to amplify and lo and behold my friends late Friday afternoon. The secretary of the army finally names the names of the people that Clinton got into Arlington national cemetery. And just this time because the TV lights were there and people were paying attention for a change just this time the whole thing turned out to be legit. And just you watch friends just you watch people all the liberals are going to come howling after us and it's going to be see how unfair rush limbo is he's a hater. But folks we've taken a lot of blows in the last few years we are still the most listened to midday talk show not hosted by a doctor so we must be doing something right. Now here's the point.

The point about the story about Clinton selling space and Arlington national cemetery my friends is that it could have been true. That's the most devastating indictment of the character of Bill Clinton is that some people actually believed it for a considerable period of time. You think a story like that about Ronald Reagan or even poor old George Bush could even have seen print of course not. Because no editor in his right mind would think it was even theoretically possible. So that is the point that we have to hammer home here friends that the so called ability of this broadcast to mislead is solely possible because of the corrupt nature of the man who occupies the old office. You know my friends for the for a long time CIA has had a policy of plausible deniability plausible deniability means that when you're going to go in and you're going to do an operation like an assassination or sabotage or something else extremely sensitive. You set the thing up so you're in a position to plausibly deny your own involvement.

We here at the arrogance and broadcasting network have a similar policy deniable plausibility deniable plausibility just because the story later turns out to have been false doesn't mean it couldn't have been true. So it's not about haters. And it's not about irresponsibility or any of those other liberal buzzwords it's about once again my friends it's about Bill Clinton's character. It's about character Bill Clinton's character is the soil in which the story grew. We just harvested it before it turned out to be true back with your phone calls to agree with me after this. This is the AIB network. This is the AIB network.

This is the AIB network. This is the AIB network. This is the AIB network. This is the AIB network.

What happened at the end of the Permian era going back to that for a minute was the greatest mass extinction ever. We wouldn't be here the most dangerous moment in the history of humanity. This is the most dangerous moment in the history of humanity.

Just watch out for those hyenas their flesh eaters ladies and gentlemen in 10 seconds it will be 10 a.m. Pacific standard time Pacific rainy standard time it's rainy day schedule dodgeball has been canceled time for the show. Well ladies and gentlemen this week two mayors got advice to two prominent mayors of two prominent United States cities got advice to lighten up. In one case it was mayor Mary and Barry of Washington DC who complained bitterly even threatening legal action about about the last week's episode of Saturday night live now ladies and gentlemen you know the lot of us.

Probably should have taken legal action against that show a long time ago but but Mary and Barry's complaint is more specific. He's upset because on last week's broadcast so I hear or read thank you very much I don't have the time to watch it apparently New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani appeared in a sketch that portrayed Washington mayor Mary and Barry in a less than favorable light. Apparently referring to poverty and drug addiction and other other other things that Mary and Barry found stereotypically unpleasantly stereotypical insultingly stereotypical. And as I say took a fence at it thought Mayor Giuliani shouldn't have taken part in a sketch that was so offensive to a fellow mayor and is as of this moment threatening legal action to which mayor Giuliani said quote lighten up.

This is the same mayor Giuliani who this very same week told the agency that runs the buses in New York City to take down the ads that were running on the buses promoting New York magazine ads that said about the only good thing in New York that Rudy isn't taking credit for is New York magazine told the bus company which the city owns. Take the ads down to which New York magazine editor. New magazine magazine editor replied Rudy lighten up so we we appear ladies and gentlemen to have a problem with excessive heaviness on the part of the nation's mayors. I speak to you of course from just outside Los Angeles California.

If our mayor ladies and gentlemen got any lighter he would float away are I mean L.A.'s mayor Dick Reardon a good swift kick in the Dick Reardon he would he would he would literally he could literally look down on the good year blimp. So no no need no need for him to lighten up now one more thing before we actually launch into the broadcast kind of things you can learn and this will be a broadcast heavy on the trades catching up on a bunch of trades but the kind of thing you know people might be tempted to say sometimes why why read the trades for me. The youngest around the the Passover table might ask that question because there are things you learn nowhere else for example ladies and gentlemen apropos of Mr. John Lithgow who was a guesting on an NPR broadcast earlier this broadcast day who was a spokesman for the long distance service called ten three to one. Now you've had probably got those cards from the company ten three to one you just dial ten three to one and then you supposedly save on your long distance that's their campaign and it sounds like they're just this company that thought up ten three to one.

Ten three to one is owned by MCI. See I wouldn't know that. I didn't read the trades for you or me ten three to one is is basically just a little a little front for MCI. What are they afraid of? Now that they've been sold you know maybe they'll come out from behind but anyway that's that's that's what I know. I know I should lighten up hello welcome to the show. Thank you. Oh, where can you go when your money gets low in the basement.

Yes, it's the miracle of digital. Thank you so much. We like it too. Yeah. Mama's hot at work. Back in the kitchen. I want something good and sweet to eat.
