Time Text
Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I heard something here at the top of the hour news, and it made me feel uncomfortable.
It's about the flooding in Fargo, North Dakota, brought on by the melting snowpack and the ice pack.
I made a quick note here of what I heard.
Yeah, it was network news at the top of the hour.
As the Red River threatens to overflow, they're filling in the dikes.
Isn't there more appropriate word?
We have to say that, I mean, we don't have dikes here.
The dikes are over there.
Filling in there's the Red River threatens to overflow.
Threatens to overflow?
What the hell's a flood?
They're filling in the dikes.
Couldn't we change that to they're filling in the contingencies or something like that?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Because here's why, folks.
I don't want to sit here.
But we like to learn from this administration, smartest administration in the world.
Mrs. Clinton is asking the North Koreans to call her in an appearance on Greta last night.
Well, you know, I don't want to say, hey, would you dikes give me a call from North Dakota and tell me how things are going?
I would rather, can you contingencies in North Carolina give me a call and let me know how the sandbag operations are going or maybe the levies at 11.
Could you give me a call?
We need to really change that word.
Great to have you here, Rush Lindbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, Openline Friday.
We go to the phones.
Content of the show is all yours, and we'll get to phone calls very quickly here.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
Here is Obama.
I want to repeat this, given what we just analyzed the previous hour with his Afghanistan policy, which is not what it seems.
As Afghanistan policy, all the objected goals are right.
Make sure that it remains a state, a government, so that al-Qaeda Taliban can't retake the country.
But he's not sending enough troops or civilians in there to get the job done.
He looks globally.
How can we do this without offending the rest of the world, without them having to get mad at me?
Let's go back to October 22nd of 2007.
Obama getting ready to gin up attendance at the Hawkeye Kawake.
As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with caucus for priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq.
I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning.
And as president, I will end it.
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons.
To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons.
I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material.
And I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand.
That's his remarks to a bunch of people.
He's trying to get them interested in his candidacy prior to the Hawkeye Kawaii that goes back to 2007.
He's implementing these things.
He's cutting the defense budget while ostensibly ramping the situation up in Afghanistan.
And he's using the same lingo and executing ostensibly the same policy that we did in Iraq that worked, a policy, the surge, which he also opposed from the get-go.
I'm telling you, he said it himself today when he made the announcement.
They've got intelligence reports that their big terrorist attacks planned.
Contingency plans.
No longer a war on terror.
They're man-made contingencies or international contingencies.
Extremist contingencies.
Exactly.
And somebody, as I said, asked me last night, what's the politics of this?
I don't know about the politics of it, but there's got to be some intel.
He likes chaos, but he doesn't want the chaos of another attack on this country, a devastating attack like the World Trade Center.
That would derail all of his plans to destroy capitalism.
Ladies and gentlemen, they have really ramped up.
The Democrat Party has really ramped it up in the special election in the 20th District of New York.
As you know, one of the candidates there, the Democrat Scott Murphy, put out a mailer this week that has my picture all over it, quotes from me all over it.
He's trying to equate me with the Republican candidate Jim Tedisco.
Scott Murphy does not detail anything he is for.
In his mailer, he does not give anybody one reason to vote for him.
Now, the Democrats are obviously worried about this because the Democrat National Committee and the Obama White House are now doubling down in this election.
Obama has endorsed Scott Murphy.
The president will offer an endorsement.
However, his endorsement, he himself will not appear in the ad nor his voice heard.
Instead, there's a picture of him that is shown as a narrator says upstate New Yorkers deserve somebody with the right skills to represent them in Washington.
That's why President Obama is supporting Scott Murphy for Congress.
So the teleprompter is endorsing Scott Murphy, not Obama.
The teleprompter is telling Obama and the people that write the ads what to say.
I don't care.
It's a teleprompter.
I don't care if it's that 52-inch jumbotron or if it's the two-winged of the teleprompter.
The teleprompter is endorsing Scott Murphy.
Here's the ad.
In the worst recession in a generation, upstate New Yorkers deserve someone with the right skills to represent them in Washington.
That's why President Obama is supporting Scott Murphy for Congress.
Scott Murphy is the only candidate with the proven business experience we need.
As a businessman, he helped create a thousand new jobs upstate.
And in Congress, he'll work with President Obama to spur investment and create jobs right here at home.
For jobs and our future, vote Scott Murphy for Congress this Tuesday.
The Democratic National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
Yes, so there you have it.
President Obama is supporting, well, Obama's teleprompter is supporting Scott Murphy for Congress.
So this race, as the Democrats have shaped it, no, not me, of course, but this special election to replace Kristen Gillibrand, who has now replaced Hillary in the Senate, this is Obama versus Limbaugh.
This is not Scott Murphy versus Sedisco.
It's Obama versus Limbaugh because the Democrats sending out leaflets suggesting that I am the real opponent here.
And the reason they're doing this is because they think that it will inspire the base, Democrat-based voters in sheer anger to show up and vote against me.
Again, Mr. Murphy, apparently without the character or the confidence, to explain to people why he is the better candidate of the two.
This Notre Dame business, I have to admit that I'm perplexed.
Notre Dame is what?
Notre Dame is the only university that I know of that has a giant mosaic of Jesus overlooking the football field with arms upspread as though Jesus is signaling touchdown.
That's why they call it Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame.
They're a Catholic school.
They have a tradition of inviting new presidents to deliver the commencement address.
And so they invited in the spirit of this tradition President Obama.
Now, as we know, the Catholic Church's official position on life is life.
The official position on life is not abortion or choice or anything of the sort.
I know this is going to perhaps be offensive to some of you who are new to the program, but the truth is the truth, and this program is about truth.
We attempt to find the truth.
We secure the truth on this program.
And the truth is that President Obama, by virtue of his votes as a member of the Illinois Senate and as a member of the United States Senate, is perhaps the most anti-life, well, there's no question, he is the most anti-life president we have had in American history.
This is a man who three times voted for infanticide in Illinois.
He tried to excuse it in a number of ways, but this is a man who voted three times that if a baby survives an abortion, it may still be killed because of the mother's original intent to abort it.
If the abortion's botched, the doctor can go ahead and complete the job outside the womb.
He voted for it three times.
That's, I mean, that to me, I don't know what care what your position on abortion is, but now we're not talking about abortion.
Not when the child has been born outside the womb and is alive.
And Obama voted three times to support the notion of infanticide.
The pro-abort crowd is a militant, ideological group of people to whom abortion is a political advancement.
It's a political achievement.
It's rooted in feminism and liberalism, which are also inexorably linked.
He has taken steps every chance he's gotten to make abortion easier.
His nomination of Kathleen Sebelius is, well, his whole administration is made up of these people.
So it makes, to me, I'm not Catholic.
But I look at this and say, this doesn't make any sense.
This does not pass the common sense test.
I understand the tradition of inviting newly elected presidents.
I understand the historical nature of President Obama's election.
I understand all of that.
But do none of our institutions value their principles anymore or their core beliefs or their religious foundations?
Are they so easily discarded for public relations or political correctness?
You know what's even more stunning to me, and this is, I say this happily, what's even more stunning is the degree to which this is being protested there by students.
Now, some students are just upset that the whole commencement is going to become a circus because of this, but some of them are upset over the substance of it.
There are a lot of Catholics who are upset about this.
There are also a lot of Catholics who voted for Obama, knowing full well everything that I just told you.
But in an era Where principles, core beliefs, the essence of one's being, are so casually discarded, it is a shock to me to see something as venerable as Notre Dame University cast theirs aside for reasons of comparatively no substance, political correctness, tradition.
Does not the tradition of having the newly elected president do your commencement address pale in comparison to the foundational building blocks of the university and the church on which it's founded?
Are they going to have to cover up, touch down Jesus the day Obama makes his speech?
How could they not?
Back after this, stay with us.
One more thing about this Notre Dame business.
You know, it's not just, ladies and gentlemen, it's not just Obama has the most outrageous anti-life record and agenda of any president in history.
It is that they're going to give him an honorary degree.
There's some people who wouldn't really care about the commencement, but the honorary degree, that's sending other people over the top.
Of course, the honorary degree is automatic for presidents showing up to do the commencement address.
There's a lot going on behind the scenes at Notre Dame.
Protests are being planned.
Some faculty and former faculty are really mad about it, but they're not going public yet.
Notre Dame's not backing down on any of this, which, I mean, the times when people stand to assert their principles just boggle my mind.
Now, here's something else for those of you, Protestants and Catholics alike, and even you Jewish people, I mean, everybody, while all this is going on, you need to know that the Obama administration is now thinking of rescinding what's called the conscious clause.
Right now, 15% of American hospitals are Catholic hospitals.
Rescinding the conscious clause, this is currently under comment period until April 9th of all days.
That's good Friday, or close to, I think, bad Thursday, whatever.
The comment period here going on until April 9th.
If they rescind the conscious clause, if you've never heard of it, you'll understand what it is here in mere moments.
Rescinding the conscious clause would force Catholic and religious pro-life health professionals to seek other careers.
Possibly shut down Catholic hospitals who would refuse to provide abortion services.
Rescinding the clause would require Catholic hospitals to perform abortions.
Now, we wonder how this fits with the universal health care message.
So while the Obama administration is actually thinking of rescinding the conscious clause, the conscience clause means that, yeah, I can't willingly perform an abortion because of my conscience.
I'm Catholic.
Catholics have an exemption.
Catholic doctors have an exemption right now, federally funded places.
That's going to be taken away.
They're thinking of taking it away.
Forcing Catholic and religious pro-life health professionals, people, to seek other careers and maybe shut down some Catholic hospitals.
All this, all this, and Notre Dame is not backing down.
Notre Dame is holding firm to their invitation.
All right, to the phones we go.
Oh, by the way, this Brazil guy, the leader, Lulu, down there, I tried to allude to this without saying it, but I think I better be more clear.
When he says global economic crisis is blamed on white people with blue eyes, he's calling those people Nazis.
That's a direct reference to Hitler's master race.
Aryan nation, white people, blue eyes.
Blonde hair is the only thing he left out of this.
Folks, I'm telling you, we have, I don't know if you are aware of this or not.
We are in a cultural boiling pot of hot water right now.
Not just this country, the whole world, and it threatens to boil over.
There is so much rage and anger.
Did you see?
Sturdley told me about this yesterday, and I apologize for not being up to speed on this at the time.
I would have mentioned it yesterday, but I usually don't talk about things I don't fully understand or haven't seen or don't know about.
This multiple paroleee, a genuine bad actor, shot and killed four cops in Oakland, California.
At a traffic stop, he shot two, and then the other two found him in a SWAT maneuver.
He shot and killed four police in Oakland, California.
And yesterday, a lot of citizens of Oakland held a vigil and a rally for the murderer.
The cops were white.
The murderer was black.
The murderer, the perp, was sought by police for abducting and raping a minor girl.
He was a parolee.
He had spent lots of times behind bars.
He's a genuine bad actor.
Genuine bad actor.
He gunned down four cops and they threw a party in Oakland, California to honor the perp.
They were calling, and one person in the march called him a hero.
And I kept waiting, are we going to see Reverend Sharpton here?
Are we going to see Reverend Sharpton show up and get involved in this somehow?
Will the Reverend Zach show up and get involved?
These people said they were sending a message to the Oakland police.
No more genocide.
No more genocide.
You're not safe, Oakland police.
Folks, there is a rage.
There is a cultural upheaval that threatens to erupt.
If somebody doesn't get a handle on this, who will it be?
Back to the phones here in just a second.
Somebody sent me a note.
Rush, did I hear you say that carbonite's now available for Mac?
Yes.
You heard me say this.
Carbonite is the off, it's the off-site online backup system for your computer hard drive.
Those of you who are relatively new to computers probably don't understand the need to back up your hard drive because you don't back up anything else.
Why need to back that up?
Well, you're going to lose it.
At some point, something's going to happen.
It's going to get corrupted by a worm, a virus, a bad file.
Something's going to happen.
You're going to drop it.
The dog's going to eat it.
Something's going to happen.
And as you use your computer more and more, you're going to put more of things on it that are incredibly important to you and keepsakes that you don't want to lose.
I can't tell you the number of people who don't know what they're doing.
Just the other day, somebody, again, they have an iPhone and they'd activated and kept their iPhone synced on one computer.
They wanted to move it to a different computer.
They didn't ask anybody about it first and lost everything on the lost their contacts, lost the pictures that were on there.
So what?
That's going to happen.
Everybody's going to make mistakes.
But if you've got it backed up somewhere, you don't have to worry about that.
And you'll be able to use your computer a little bit more freely.
And Carbonite backs up your computer online, but off-site.
And now it's available for Mac.
And I tried it.
I signed up.
I gave them the credit card, did the whole thing.
And I'm going to tell you what I learned because I know you're going to do this.
And it's just another way to back up that is actually safer than you would believe.
And it's secure.
When I logged on and set it all up and started the backup, it was five or six hours before it showed me anything was happening.
And I said, John, this is not working.
I'm like, what the hell is this?
And I got, no, It's just taking a while to establish.
It's doing all kinds of background things, connecting with your hard drive and so forth.
And it eventually kicked in.
So if you do sign up with your Mac for Carbonite to back up your hard drive, the progress pane is in your system preferences.
There's a Carbonite pane there.
You can watch the progress take place.
Depending on how much you have, the original backup is going to take a long time because upload speeds are much slower than download speeds.
Like I'm backing up right now, 400 gigabytes.
It's going to take three weeks.
But I've got the fastest connection you can get.
That's about two to four gigs an hour.
But it's just trucking along real nice.
And anytime you're logged on to the internet, it backs up.
Once you got the full backup, then it'll back up incrementally.
Things that have changed since the last time.
You never have to tell it to do it, and you never have to think about it.
And it's 50 bucks a year.
Carbonite.com.
And if you tell them my name, offer code Russia, what have you, some special goodies awaiting you.
All right.
Open line Friday, Doug in Great Falls, Montana.
I'm glad you waited, and welcome to the program.
Hey, glad to have you back in Great Falls, Russia.
Thank you, sir.
And I'm a black-haired, brown-eyed Irishman, Irish-American, so I have no blame.
I'm not culpable for anything to do with this thing.
Yet.
Yeah, yet.
I've paid my taxes and my mortgage my whole life, so I guess I'm to blame somehow.
Yeah, you are.
You're one of these people that won life's lottery.
You're able to do all that.
You've got to get even with you.
Yeah, that's right.
Hey, quickly to the conference they want to have on Afghanistan and bringing all these countries like China, Russia, Saudi Arabia to the table.
That's analogous to bringing a fox, a wolf, a duck, and a frog and a turkey to a dinner.
You've got people with completely different worldviews.
They want completely different outcomes.
To be that naive, to think you're going to get progress from that cast of characters is ludicrous.
Well, no, wait.
Don't be so hasty here.
Give me the list of countries that you mentioned again just because I don't have it in front of me.
I caught these this morning on Fox.
It was Saudi Arabia.
Saudis.
Pakistan.
Pakistan.
Chikoms.
Chikoms.
Russia.
Russia.
The other two escaped my mind.
I'm sitting in my pickup.
Okay, is Iran supposedly on the list?
Yeah, right.
And okay.
All right, so here are the countries that Obama's having a conference with on Afghanistan.
We've got the Saudis.
We have, I can't read my own printing.
We've got the Chikoms.
We got Russia.
We got Iran.
Three of them want us to fail.
Oh, I forgot that common thread.
Pakistan, Pakistan.
Pakistan.
I don't know where Pakistan is.
Pakistan, but we know that the Chikoms are Russians and the Iranians want us to fail.
So they would see this as an opportunity.
They do have something in common.
Some might say Obama wants us to fail.
I mean, he's cutting the defense budget.
I don't think he wants us to fail in Afghanistan, but this guy's global vision.
Your take on this is exactly right.
These people have nothing to do with Afghanistan, and they don't care.
Their national interests don't dovetail with ours in Afghanistan.
Most of these nations love the chaos that American foreign policy entanglements create for us here because they think it distracts us.
I'll tell you, the Chikom, the Chikas, I said in the first hour, the ChiComs, their biggest concern here is our budget, is our economy.
Folks, we don't have any more checks and balances in this country.
We've got the most irresponsible budget that's been presented, tripling the national debt, the budget deficit, $10 trillion over 10 years.
It is unheard of.
It will destroy, as the guy from Great Britain said, Mr. Hannon, when you're in debt, you don't borrow more.
You cut back.
It's the exact opposite of what we need to be doing.
But there aren't enough Republicans in the House to stop it, so there's no check or balance in the House.
But the Rhino-Republicans in the Senate, there are probably not enough Republicans there to stop it.
There's no check and the biggest, our biggest friend on this is the CHICOMs.
The CHICOMs, the communist Chinese are the only check we have on this irresponsible budget.
And the check that they provide is: I'm not buying your debt anymore.
If you're going to go this irresponsibly into debt, you're going to make your debt worthless to us, and we're not buying it anymore.
Now, stop and think of that.
The only check we've got to this destruction that is Obama's spending and budgeting and so forth is the communist Chinese.
John in Sacramento, my adopted hometown.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Yes, sir, and I'm going to refresh the host by getting straight to my point.
George Soros recently, I just read this online here this morning.
He said two things.
He said, I'm having a very good crisis to the UK Daily Mail.
And he also said, in a way, this is the culmination of my life's work.
And it says he's made billions, as in with a B, as everything's gone down.
And, of course, he's selling short or doing what he's doing and making all this money in the billions, saying, I'm having a good time.
This is the culmination of my life's work.
And I think he tipped his hand.
I think he's wanted to bring America down financially.
And I think that's the point of what he's saying quietly.
I made a bunch of money by bringing down the capitalist system, and I'm proud of it.
I'm reading between the lines there, but that's what it sounds like to me.
I don't think you have to read between the lines with Soros.
George Soros is, you know, he destroyed the British pound, selling it short.
He has gotten wealthy by damaging currencies of other countries and so forth.
And make no mistake, he does have a bugaboo about the United States of America.
That's why he supports political candidates who also want to see us drastically reduced in size and power and want to change the country.
And for him to run around and say, yes, a very good crisis has been very good to me.
He did earn $1.1 billion.
You're exactly right, selling short, which means one of the primary fundraisers and contributors of the Democrat Party is betting financially on the United States plunging economically.
So far, he's getting rich, $1.1 billion.
He's worth $11 billion.
So he's putting his money out of his mouth.
Where are the people saying, gosh, George, don't you have enough?
Isn't enough enough, George?
Of course, when one of these guys is your primary underwriter, of course, there's never enough.
But this is who the Democrats' number one money bags is.
Yeah, he's not saying, I want America to fail.
He's saying, I'm betting on it.
I'm betting on America's going to fail.
Oh, but he wants it.
But you know, something else he said, something else he said, this dovetails, you know, Obama's out there spewing negative stuff yesterday before his virtual town hall.
Well, jobs aren't coming back, and we're going to lose more jobs this year.
And it is going to be tough out there.
We're going to do that, da, da, da, da.
George Soros said commercial real estate values are going to plummet an additional 30%.
There's no way around it.
There's no avoiding it.
You start talking that way, you're trying to make it happen.
A 30-cent percent plummet in commercial real estate value.
By the way, thanks for the call, John.
I was channel surfing out there last night, and I stumbled across Hannity and his Great American panel.
And I got to give a shout out here to one of the participants on the Great American panel.
And I'm having a metal block with his name.
He's a country music star.
Is there somebody named Clay Walker that's a country music star?
Nobody in there listening.
This guy had the honesty.
Hannity asked him some question.
Well, tell us about the mating habits of the Australian rabbit bat in relationship to the plunging GDP leverage levels against our gross output.
And the guy said, I don't know what you're talking about, and I really don't have enough, I don't have an opinion.
Whatever the, it was a question about the economy, and the guy said, don't know enough to tell you what I, when's the last time you saw somebody honestly say, I don't know enough to answer that.
I strum my guitar.
But then this guy said, you know, it's really strange, Sean.
I was downstairs at the Rockefeller Center Mall, and the place is jam-packed.
And people are in line to buy food.
And he said, wherever I go, I don't see.
Okay, there is a Clay Walker, so that might have been who it is, or was.
He said, wherever he goes, I don't see all this evidence of a recession because the people that are out are spending and they're buying food and they're going into restaurants and so forth.
And I have talked, I've talked to some of my restaurant friends in New York.
And I remember in 1994, 95, Wall Street had a plunge at that time, and New York restaurants were in trouble.
I've talked to some New York restaurant people.
They claim that they're doing fine.
They claim that everything's okay, that it's not as bad as it was then.
And then I hear about, oh, we've lost 600,000 jobs last month, 600,000 jobs.
Before that, we're up to 8.1% unemployment.
And there are layoffs.
The New York Times.
New York Times laid off 100 people in the business, on the business side of the paper.
They're asking all other employees or telling them they're going to get a 5% reduction in their salaries.
And then they hope the unions will go along.
They're going to talk to the guild members.
We hope the unions will go along.
If the unions don't go along, they're going to have to lay off more people at the New York Times.
So the job losses are real.
There's no question.
I'm not disputing that.
But now I'm starting to ask myself, are these job losses really the result of a plunging economy or are they in part businesses getting rid of people because what they fear the future holds based on Obama policies?
And I think it's probably a little bit of both.
But I just, everybody that talks about this, I get the sense from listening to them that this is not like the Jimmy Carter misery index years.
Gasoline price started to rise, but it came back down.
I'm sure they'd go to Ohio or Michigan.
Those people have been in a recession long before this one started.
And California's in bad shape.
I'm not denying it is.
But the people who are still working, apparently they're not staying home eating hamburger helper.
Al Wilson and one of my old-time favorite tunes.
Love the fact it's in the bumper rotation.
Show and tell is a title of the tune.
Look at folks.
It was Clay Walker.
I got people saying, no, no, no, Rush, it was John Rich.
I know John Rich.
I was at Colby Club in New York one night having dinner, and this giant entourage of people led by Randy Jackson of American Idol walked in.
And the next thing I know, the waitress brought over an adult beverage that it's from, and I had hearing, my hearing in there was horrible.
And this is from, and I couldn't hear, so I asked the waitress, come closer, who's this from?
She said, Big Rich.
Big Rich?
Who the hell is Big Rich?
She said, no, no, John Rich of the group Big and Rich.
And he came over and said, hello.
I know John Rich.
John Rich is a great guy.
It was Clay Walker last night who told Hannity, I don't know.
I can't answer your question.
I haven't the slightest idea.
That's refreshing.
You know, some of these celebrities that get invited to these newsmaker panels try to act.
It was just refreshing.
I don't know.
If I had a thought on it, I'd tell you, but I don't know enough to have an opinion about it.
Kenny in Seymour, Indiana.
Is that right?
Kenny, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Rush, it is an honor.
Can imagine.
Yes, thank you.
I just called to say thank you because I recently just started listening to your show.
My mom's talked about you all my life, but I listened to you talk about Zycam, and I suffer from allergies.
This time of year, allergies just wear me out.
And if I get an allergy attack, I'm like down for like two to three weeks, like feeling like I got the flu, you know, without.
Really?
Your allergies hit you like that?
Yes.
I mean, it feels like someone's sitting on my chest and my body's all achy and, of course, head and throat and nose and all that stuff.
And I went out and bought Zycam allergy.
And if anybody's listening or thought about buying Zycam, go out and get it and use it.
All right.
All right.
Now, see, this is what happens on Open Line Friday.
You got to tell the audience, nobody put you up to this.
You're not being compensated for it.
You don't own stock in Zycam and you don't work there.
Heck no.
I just heard you talk about it.
All right.
It's not exactly a denial, but we'll take it.
Well, sometimes you got to take a chance.
So many times I'd say, you know, I'll just go ahead and get it.
Well, see, here's the thing.
The great thing, it works.
It works.
Now, look, you know, this is we're nearing the end of the traditional end of the cold season, and this is where people stop thinking about.
I happen to, the summertime cold is the worst time to get one because it's not predictable, but people do get them.
And, you know, you've got this, you've got this blinding snowstorm in Denver, all of this snow and ice in the midst of global warming up in North Dakota.
And I'm going to tell you, folks, a cold is almost worse than a flu.
A flu, you have the excuse to stay in bed.
A cold, you don't.
Tell somebody you're in bed sick with a cold, they laugh at you.
You've got to get over to work with a cold.
I mean, you got to get up.
You got to be productive.
You've got to take care of the kids and baby.
Flu, you having out, but it's still miserable.
And if anything you can do to stop it or to arrest it or to retard, sorry, to special Olympic, its duration, then you should do it.
And Zycam, if you catch it early enough, the moment you think you're coming down with it, just snap open a tube.
It's easy.
Swab the inside of both nostrils, hold your nose for five seconds every four hours, and you'll either arrest it or you'll really slow it down and you'll reduce the how bad your cold is.
Zycam, Z-I-C-A-M, it really works, and you should have a stock of it for the spring and the summer because you just never know.
Back in a moment.
What do you think was the subject most often asked about by people who emailed questions to Obama's virtual town hall yesterday?
What?
Right, legalizing marijuana.
We'll be back.
