Time	Text
	Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of the Breck girl, John Edwards has got a book out.
	As you know, she's terminally ill with cancer.
	Her new memoir is entitled Resistance.
	Sorry, resilience.
	Due to be published on the 12th of May.
	She said when she found out her husband was having an affair that, quote, I cried and screamed, I went to the bathroom and I threw up.
	She's not alone.
	Millions of Americans threw up when Edwards announced he was running for president.
	And got on the vice presidential ticket with the haughty John Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam.
	This was amazing.
	After that disgracefully embarrassing performance by the media last night at the Obama press conference, the 100 Day Party, Calvin Woodward at AP Obama, publishes a fact-check story that we're just not used to seeing, written about this administration and this president.
	Starts this way.
	That wasn't me, Obama said on his 100th day in Orifus, disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on day one.
	But it actually was him and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years who shaped a budget so out of balance.
	So Obama said, I inherited everything, and I didn't AP said, nobody, you gave us that budget.
	You and the Democrats ran Congress.
	Spending bills originated in the House.
	You guys gave us the budget.
	You gave us the deficit.
	I read this and I was I was just stunned.
	And it goes on as a presidential candidate and president-elect.
	The Bush-era stimulus plan that made the deficit deeper.
	All before he took over and promoted spending plans that have made it much deeper still.
	So basically Obama goes out and lies about the deficit not being his.
	It's Bush's.
	He inherited it.
	And AP with the story last night said, no, Mr. President, you helped create it and you make it worse.
	Congress controls the purse spring, the strings, and it was under Democrat control for Obama's last two years as Illinois Senator.
	Obama supported the emergency bailout package in Bush's final months, the package that Democrat leaders wanted to make much bigger.
	And then there's this, quotes Obama as saying, I think one basic principle that we know is that the more we do on the disease prevention side, the more we can obtain serious savings down the road.
	If we're making these investments in prevention, we'll save huge amounts of money in the long term.
	Said that yesterday in Missouri to town meeting.
	Sounds believable that preventing illness should be cheaper than treating it.
	And indeed that's the case with steps like preventing smoking and improving diets and exercise.
	But during the 2008 campaign when Obama and other presidential candidates were touting a focus on preventive care, the New England Journal of Medicine cautioned that sweeping statements about the cost saving potential of prevention are overreaching.
	It said that although some preventive measures do save money, the vast majority reviewed in the health economics literature do not.
	A study released in December by the Congressional Budget Office found that increasing preventive care could improve people's health, but would probably generate either modest reductions in costs, if any, over a 10-year budgetary time frame.
	um Another one, Obama said you could cut social security benefits.
	You could raise the tax on everybody, so everybody's payroll tax goes up a little bit, or you can do what I think is probably the best solution, which is raise the cap on the payroll tax.
	AP writes the facts.
	Obama's proposal would reduce the Social Security trust fund's deficit by less than half, according to the nonpartisan tax policies.
	AP last night ripped to shreds some of the substance of what Obama said during the press conference.
	Now, it doesn't happen enough.
	And when it does happen like this, you're sitting in a stage of uh a state of Disbelief.
	But what it illustrates, again, is the opportunity to contrast and draw distinctions between the founding principles of this country known as conservatism and what the hell is happening now.
	It is also a way to illustrate that the president of the United States is misleading or lying to the American people about himself.
	Just it's it's I'll tell you, it just continues to sit out there, be available on a uh on a silver platter.
	Okay, to destroy or try to destroy the private aircraft industry, and now Joe Biden is killing commercial aviation and public transportation.
	On the Today Show today, he was on with Mount Our.
	Mount Our said, Mr. Vice President, if a member of your family came to you and said, Look, I want to go on a commercial airliner to Mexico and back within the next week.
	Would you think it's a good idea?
	I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now.
	It's not that it's going to Mexico.
	It's you're in a confined aircraft.
	When one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft.
	That's me.
	I would not be at this point if I if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway.
	If you're out in the middle of a field and someone sneezes, that's one thing.
	If you're in a closed aircraft or closed container, a closed car, closed classroom, it's a different thing.
	So Obama telling people not to get on subways, not to get on airplanes, and not to get in cars.
	Now the World Health Organization says that seven people have died from this pig flu worldwide.
	Seven people.
	That was at the beginning of the program.
	And yet you look at the degree and the level to which the media is elevating this to a panic.
	And you have to say, why?
	Well, because this is the kind of thing create crisis and panic, and just has more people clamoring for the government to do something, for the government to fix it.
	But this is not what Obama had in mind.
	They trotted Janet Napolitano out there on MSNBC later in the morning, she got this question.
	Can I put you on the spot about some comments made by Biden this morning?
	He says he's advising his own family to avoid confined spaces, stay off commercial airlines and subways because of the new pig flu is is that common sense?
	Yeah, I think the vice president, if he had if he could say that over again, he would say if they're feeling sick, they should stay off of public transit or confined spaces, because that indeed is uh the advice that we have been giving.
	If he could say it again, if he could say it again, and of course, if you're a liberal democrat with a media, you do get a second shot at it.
	You do get to say it again.
	In this case, Napolitano said it forward.
	Well, you just he just meant if you're feeling bad, but that's not what he said.
	Loose lips, but of course, that's just old Joe.
	Tom Harkin was not pleased about this.
	He was asked on the radio today, uh, a conference call actually, are are you giving some advice to your family members, close friends, about how they should conduct themselves in the middle of the pig flu?
	That's uh very unfortunate statement by the vice president.
	Again, we just don't need that kind of misinformation going out.
	I wish the vice president had checked with the the head of uh the Center for Disease Control and Preparedness before he made such a statement.
	As far as not riding on subways or planes, we're not going to shut down our system.
	And that doesn't get to the numb of the problem anyway.
	So I think that's very unfortunate that this kind of misinformation got out.
	Well, it's time to circle the wagons now.
	You got the Democrat Senator Tom Harkin, who's not happy, by the way.
	Get to this in a moment with uh Senator Spector joining the Democrats, as there's some malcontents.
	The Senate's not had Senate Democrats are not happy with the deal Dingy Harry Mead made to get uh to get Spectre.
	That in just a second.
	But Chuck Todd of the drive-by's MSNBC Live, the anchoress contessa brewer, uh, said uh Chuck Todd, sounds now that not only the vice president's office of the White House has got to amend Biden's statements a little bit.
	This was Biden being Biden.
	He was answering uh very bluntly.
	What would he tell a member of his own family?
	It may be that the vice president in his more unguarded remarks is echoing what a lot of Americans are thinking right now.
	Exactly.
	Oh, well, okay.
	Good.
	So the vice president goes out there, starts a potential panic, and he's just he's just echoing what a lot of Americans think anyway.
	So hearken, should this anything Napolitano will slap you down because the uh the people of NBC are going to rescue the vice president, it's just Biden being Biden.
	How come it's never it's just limbaugh being limbaugh?
	Well, that's just Hannity being Hannity.
	That's Biden being Biden.
	The uh Los Angeles Times has a story.
	Scientists see this flu strain as relatively mild.
	As the WHO, the World Health Organization raised its infectious disease alert, and health officials confirmed the first deaf linked to swine flu inside American borders.
	Scientists studying the virus are coming to the consensus that this hybrid strain of flu, at least in its current form, isn't shaping up to be as fatal as the strains that caused some previous pandemics.
	In fact, the current outbreak of the H1N1 virus, which emerged in San Diego and Southern Mexico late last San Diego now?
	Oh.
	Emerge in America.
	It's kind of Mexico, I guess.
	Merged in America?
	Cool, cool, okay.
	Emerged in San Diego and Southern Mexico late last month, may not even do as much damage as the run-of-the-mill flu that occur every winter without much fanfare.
	Less the kills about 30,000 people every year.
	If this is true, if this is a mild strain, you might want to go out and actually try to catch it.
	Why would you invite that, Mr. Limbaugh?
	That's irresponsible.
	No.
	If it's a mild strain, it's no different getting a flu shot.
	You go out and get the flu, and you realize you're gonna be inoculated against any mutations of this flu.
	You're gonna have all those antibodies running around.
	One of the things about getting the flu, once you get it, you know, your body builds up immunities to the next the next uh the next round.
	Senior Senate Democrats are objecting to the deal that Dingy Harry made with Senator Arlene Specter, saying that they will vote against letting Spectre shoot to the top of powerful committees after he switches parties.
	Several Democrats are furious with Senator Reed for agreeing to let Spectre keep his seniority, which accrued over more than 28 years as a Republican senator.
	So he gets to transfer with all those years of seniority, and it's going to put him ahead of a lot of Democrats for committee assignments, and they're not happy about it.
	For example, that agreement would allow Spectre to leap past senior Democrats on the Appropriations and Judiciary Committees.
	Barbara McCulski said, I won't be happy if I don't get to chair something because of Arlen Specter.
	She sits on the appropriations committee with Spectre.
	She's fifth in seniority among Democrats, behind Daniel in no way, and uh and Robert Bird of West Virginia, Patrick Leahy, and Top Harkin.
	So I'm happy with the Democrat order, but I don't want to be displaced because of Arlen Specter, and Harkin doesn't want to be either.
	He's another Senate Democrat unhappy with the deal that Dingy Harry made, and they're talking about vetoing some parts of it.
	And today's health update, if the swine flu isn't gonna kill you, and all the other health tragedies that await you.
	Here's a new one.
	Eating charred well-done meat on a regular basis may increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by up to sixty percent.
	And it might not.
	If they're gonna put in this report might increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by up to sixty percent.
	I maintain there's no news.
	You could just as easily rewrite the story.
	Eating charred well-done meat on a regular basis may not increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by up to 20%.
	No, it's charred meat.
	You gotta have a chart out there over the in fact, this is a recycled story.
	Well done charred meat, hamburgers close can't do.
	Comes out every barbecue season.
	It's just like back to school, you get little warnings, don't let the kids uh play in the street.
	How about Obama last night?
	He's asked about the flu.
	Did you people get your instructions from the president on what to do.
	Make sure you cover your mouth when you cough.
	This works, he said.
	Really, it really works.
	Cover your mouth when you cough and and and wash your hands.
	You know, he didn't say how long to wash your hands, he didn't say what kind of soap.
	Wash your hands after you go to the bathroom, wash your hands after shaking hands with somebody, and and cover your mouth uh when you cough.
	I mean, it really works.
	That that was advice dispensed from the president of the United States last night on uh how not to get the flu.
	And now charred well done meat regularly might increase your risk of cancer.
	It also might not.
	They don't know.
	By the way, folks, the World Health Organization, the story of the UK Times, the World Health Organization, it says only seven deaths worldwide from this pig flu.
	And I meant to mention this, it specifies one other thing.
	This is not an airborne virus.
	That story in the UK Times, the World Health Organization, seven deaths worldwide.
	It's not airborne, it's spread from droplets.
	So you you can't get it by breathing.
	That's what it says, droplets.
	It's not some spokesman for who.
	The World Health Organization says that it's not airborne.
	Well, if it's not...
	If it's if the apparently the masks don't help.
	Let me let me maybe no double check this out here.
	This virus is not airborne.
	It's caused by droplets, so it's not a time for worry.
	It's time to be prepared, said Ms. Allen.
	And these seven flu deaths, by the way, are all in Mexico.
	All right, here's Linda in El Centro California, 25% unemployment there.
	Hi, Linda.
	Hi, Rush.
	This is like the best Mother's Day gift I could ever have.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	You gotta get flowers.
	Is somebody going to give you flowers for Mother's Day?
	Oh, probably.
	You expect them, right?
	Of course.
	Well, see, I told you that's what I said yesterday.
	You can't go wrong, folks.
	You can't everybody thinks flowers are a last resort.
	Oh no.
	They can't think of anything else.
	No, they're not.
	They work, right, Wendy?
	They work every time they're tried.
	Amen.
	Hey, I am a college professor here in the Imperial Valley.
	Mm-hmm.
	And my comment, I have a zillion, but the one that I was talking to Bo about uh was that we have that highest unemployment rate in the nation.
	Yeah, I saw that yesterday.
	Twenty-five percent rivaling unemployment rates in the Great Depression.
	Yes.
	Well, my comment is that I think a lot of the people here who are on unemployment are writing the system as far as they can take it.
	They take classes and how to stay on the system as long as possible.
	Where do you go to find a class on how to stay on the system as long as possible?
	Oh, they some of them actually are born in Mexico, and from what I gather.
	And uh how for the people there who can come here and how they can actually get our benefit.
	I've heard this.
	Uh-huh, and they do it.
	I've heard this.
	There are a lot of people I know from Southern California.
	This uh this illegal immigration issue has uh roiled them for years.
	And they have they've told me that there are uh instructions for if you need um medical emergency care, how to call an ambulance, which ambulance to call, uh, which hospital emergency room to go to if you don't have any health coverage and so forth.
	Yes.
	So you're saying that there are classes out there to tell people how to scam the system if they're unemployed.
	Yes, there are.
	And there are actually college classes that the college I teach at teaches to keep uh to help people who are unemployed, how they can get back into the clas uh back into the work force here in the Imperial Valley.
	And I have a friend who teaches several of these courses, and in the class, the students aren't paying attention.
	These are adults.
	They're not paying attention.
	They're cleaning their fingernails.
	They're on their phone.
	They're text messaging.
	They're doing all this stuff only because they get paid to take this class.
	Is this a community college?
	Yes, it is.
	Okay, so they've actually got a course on how to get a job and get off of unemployment.
	Yes, they do.
	And they have to go to this course in order to qualify for some unemployment benefits?
	Probably for an extension, I would say.
	Right, so the question that arises is which came first, unemployment benefits or the course that you've got to go to to maintain your benefits?
	That's the truth.
	This is hilarious.
	I mean, it's frustrating.
	But it's sad.
	I know it's it's maddening.
	But it's funny.
	You've got a college with with a with a course set up specifically where people go park their butts and do nothing.
	Exactly.
	Where they then by doing nothing qualify for unemployment extension benefits.
	Right.
	And they also get paid to take the class.
	What?
	They get paid to take the class.
	By who?
	By the state, I am sure.
	You know, the state just loves people.
	God, the scams coming from government, which doesn't surprise me.
	No, it doesn't.
	The scams coming from government.
	So somebody had to devise the program.
	We're going to put up a college class at a community colleges.
	And then we're going to tell unemployed, you've got to go there.
	And by going there, that'll qualify you for one of the so they can get critics off the back.
	No, we're we're educating our unemployed.
	Educate.
	They're doing their nails, reading People magazine, U.S. Weekly, OK magazine, whatever it is.
	Putting in the time.
	You heard the woman from El Centro California, she is expecting flowers for Mother's Day.
	Expecting them.
	My friends, this is easy.
	This is easy.
	It's called ProFlowers.
	I guarantee you.
	Women, you can't go wrong with this.
	And it get over the idea that it's a cop-out.
	Get over the idea that that's not that I gotta really appreciate they just do.
	And ProFlowers has this 100 colorful blooms for mother for mom.
	It's a ProFlowers bestseller every year.
	It's only 1999 for 100 blooms.
	You could upgrade it uh for just another $10 to 200 blooms for $29.99.
	And a free glass vase to go along with this.
	Now, this big offer only available until Friday, because a lot of people want these.
	They got to get them ready to go, get them out by Mother's Day, so don't wait.
	Just go to Rushproflowers.com.
	That's Rush ProFlowers.com, or call them 1-800 PRO flowers, and uh offer code rush, entitled you to some goodies out there.
	I want to play you a soundbite.
	Dovetails exactly with my stirring monologues in the second hour about the golden opportunity to contrast and to provide an alternative with what Obama's doing other great, great opportunity right now.
	They had a had a round table on the Charlie Rose show last night.
	And of course, my name came up all over it.
	But in this they were and it's the greatest press conference ever.
	Obama's the greatest.
	In fact, they said White House has polling data that says uh Obama uh Americans love Obama running around apologizing to the country.
	It makes them feel really good.
	It was about time they had a love for this.
	And at some point, uh they brought up the um uh question that Jeff Zellany of the New York Times asked about what do you find enchanting about the presidency?
	And a guy from New York magazine named John Heilman said this is what he thinks Obama should have said in answering the enchantment question.
	I think if he had been honest tonight when he was asked by Jeff Selena what most enchanted him, I think he would have said Rush Limbaugh.
	Because it's it's true.
	I mean, but I I don't want to repeat what Al just said, but I mean it's an astonishing thing because they are without uh without a a compelling leader and without a compelling set of alternative ideas, and that has allowed him to have uh an enormous amount of of running room.
	Now, this is see, this is where they're wrong.
	And Carver was out there talking about the great Rush Limbaugh as a uh you know the leader of the Republican Party and so forth, and that so there's there's no real political leadership, and everybody's scared to me in the Republican Party, they're free to disagree with me.
	So it gives him, but he's right, wide latitude, lots of running room.
	Nobody with any alternative ideas out there.
	That rush, I've heard that the Congress Republicans are proposing alternative budget.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's that's that's in acceptance of a premise that's already been advanced.
	I'm talking about genuine contrast.
	I'm talking about standing up and saying this budget is a disaster.
	Now we can't stop it right now, but it's a disaster, and somebody's gonna have to stop this stuff down the road and make the case.
	I mean, the press all knows it.
	The press knows he's getting a free ride.
	What they're wrong about, they think the press is getting a free ride.
	They think Obama's getting a free ride because the Republicans are afraid of offending me.
	That's not at all the case.
	That's not at all the case.
	The Republicans don't think anybody likes them.
	The Republican thinks they're just gonna get laughed at if they stand up and provide a real alternative.
	You can see it in the crack up of the conservative movement for crying out loud.
	We've got a bunch of so-called smart conservatives who think the worst thing that ever happened to party was losing Arlen Spector, who think the worst thing in the Republican movement's the Club for Growth.
	It's okay to have move on.org.
	It's okay to have all those left-wing groups, Club for Growth.
	Why it's killing Republican Party.
	We gotta go be more like Democrats.
	And so the Republicans think they've got to sound like Obama's down a little different, a little smarter, rather than contrasting.
	It has nothing to do with me.
	Here, this'll brighten your day.
	Eric Holder, the attorney general, is in Berlin.
	Do you know what the attorney general is in Berlin doing?
	He's begging, but what snerdly, what's he begging them to do?
	Some of the Gitmo people.
	United States and its allies must make sacrifices to close Club Gitmo.
	Eric Holder spoke to the American Academy in Berlin not long after teleporters the U.S. had approved the release of about 30 Gitmo detainees.
	He said, We must all make sacrifices.
	We must all be willing to make unpopular choices.
	The U.S. is ready to do its part.
	We hope that Europe will join us, not out of a sense of responsibility, but from a commitment to work with one of its oldest allies to confront one of the world's most pressing challenges.
	Yeah, because Obama's shown our allies so much good grace in a hundred days.
	The hope is that our new foreign policy, that they won't notice, and think that uh they'll work with us on giving them, giving us whatever we want.
	But the dirty little secret of this, and the reason he's in Germany talking about it snerdly and not talking about it in the United States.
	They want to close Gitmo January 2010, and they're going to release people in America.
	They're just gonna, and they want to release some in Germany, and they want they want to release some in France.
	And that Holder, since we're going to do it, is trying to convince them to do it.
	We're just gonna release them.
	We're just going to release them and let them assimilate no differently than if they were illegal immigrants.
	We're just gonna release them under the premise that they've been held unlawfully.
	We owe these people, we're just gonna turn them loose in Montana or wherever else.
	Just turn them loose.
	Let them go.
	They are not here now.
	They're in Cuba.
	They're gonna turn them loose.
	And holders over there trying to ask our allies to do the same thing.
	So what do we have?
	My my good friend at National Review, Andy McCarthy wrote about this.
	McCarthy used to be the U.S. Attorney's Office lead prosecutor, prosecution team that uh that jailed the blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.
	And Andy says, so okay, to complete the picture here.
	We have an FBI out beating the Bushes, taking a lot of flack for it.
	Try to find out which radical Muslims in the U.S. may be embedded jihadists who have gotten paramilitary training from Al-Qaeda.
	We got an attorney general and a president simultaneously planning to embed in the United States jihadists who've gotten paramilitary paramilitary training from Al-Qaeda who are Club Gitmo.
	He's exactly right.
	The FBI is running around trying to find out do we have any sleeper cells in this country?
	People captured on the battlefield in the club gitmo are going to be released with no questions asked.
	That's the Obama plan.
	Hope that makes you feel better, folks.
	And that's why he's over in Germany talking about it, and not here.
	And the Germans are what are you talking about?
	Also for you leftists in the crowd today, excellent news here.
	ExxonMobil has reported their first quarter profit is down 58%.
	We'll be back and continue after this.
	I often say, uh, ladies and gentlemen, if they're going to have a recession, just don't participate in it.
	Yesterday afternoon, after the program, I met with the founder and the CEO of Carbonite.
	Our clients come in frequently.
	I mean, who wouldn't want to come and visit us here at the EIB Southern Command?
	And he had with him a PowerPoint presentation.
	Their first quarter, Carbonite's first quarter was up 36%.
	They just they just got the numbers there.
	And I pointed out to him, I said, David, that kind of coincides with our audience increase in the first quarter at 36%.
	What I mean they're happy as they can be.
	And the reason they're happy is because they've got a simple backup program that works.
	I said, What's what is the biggest he makes all the customer service people do an hour a week.
	Or all the comp all the executives do an hour a week.
	Because he said one of the biggest problems he fights is they're always trying to to to uh uh complicate the software putting little add-ons and do to agile engineers like this kind of thing.
	He wants to keep it simple.
	And he said it's the best way to keep it simple is to just talk to people who use the service.
	And and it what what amazes them most is how few people understand the need to back up.
	Even even some power users.
	Some of them haven't lost their hard drive data.
	And I said to him, you know, it's one of those things we tell them all the time, your computer's gonna die on you.
	Something's gonna happen to your hard drive at some point.
	I told him a story of my friend who lost all of her pictures on her iPhone.
	It's gonna happen.
	I said, David, it's one of these things until it happens.
	Until you lose your identity, until somebody steals your credit card.
	It's just an abstract thing.
	But when you lose everything on your computer, then you just start beating yourself up for not backing it up.
	A carbonite's a simple, easy way to back up online but off sites, totally secure.
	Nobody can get into it, nobody can see it.
	You can restore individual files after you backed them up or the whole hard drive.
	It happens online, off-site, in the background.
	You don't even see it.
	You can check the status, but you don't see it.
	It doesn't hold up your computer.
	It's the simplest way, and if as far as you're concerned, you won't be doing anything, but it will happen.
	You'll you blow up your hard drive when you're gonna need to get data back, and it's simple to do if you've got it backed up with Carbonite.
	Carbonite.com is the place to go check it out.
	Fifteen days are free with no credit card.
	Unlike a lot of places, you've got to give a credit card, and they just apply the so-called free to your first month.
	No, you don't give them a credit card for the first 15 days, and you try it.
	It's um comes out to let Mac and PC, got to be an Intel Mac, not PowerPC Mac, but for both now, and it um uh like fifty bucks, fifty-four dollars a year.
	And believe me, it'll happen to you one day.
	You'll lose everything, and you won't sweat it when it's backed up.
	Rick with Carbonite.
	Rick in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
	Glad you called, sir.
	Great to have you on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Mr. Limbaugh.
	Yes.
	Gettos from the college town that created the Clintons.
	Thank you, sir, very much.
	Great to have you here from the college town that created the Clinton.
	Yeah, I know, it's not that good.
	Hey, last night on uh his press conference, this sharp-looking black guy from BET stood up and said, Mr. President, in New York, the unemployment rate among black American males is 50%.
	What in your stimulus package is gonna help them out?
	And all he talked about was education, health care, and energy.
	And it was the most lame answer, and all I kept thinking was this guy and all he talked about was African Americans and Latinos.
	And I thought this reporter's got to be back here going, I don't care about Latinos.
	What are you going to do for the brothers?
	Because we put you in this office.
	What are you going to do?
	And he had no answer.
	It was horrible.
	You know why he's got no answer?
	Uh I will I will tell you why he's got no answer, because he's not working on it.
	He's not working on the dropout rate.
	He might say so, but I thought the American education system was designed to educate people and not have anybody drop out.
	The dirty little secret is it, and by the way, Hispanic and African American dropout rates in major American cities run by Democrats.
	In New York, it's 50%.
	But I don't care what blue city you go to, whatever blue city, whatever city run by Democrats, the education system is a mess.
	Unemployment rates are high, and they're not doing anything about it.
	They've been trying to well what do you mean, Mr. Limbaugh?
	They're trying to fix it all the time.
	That's my point.
	They've been trying to fix it all the time.
	For as long as I've been alive, they've been trying to reduce the dropout rates.
	Doing what's going up.
	Are they really fixing it?
	Are they really trying to fix it?
	Well, unemployment, dropout, whatever.
	It's the same dropout rate's the same thing.
	Unemployment it's it's the same situation.
	It's Democrat run cities.
	It's rotten economies.
	It's Democrat-run states.
	Michigan a state, Detroit a city.
	I mean whether it's the unemployment rate or whether it's the uh uh dropout rate, education, it's the same thing.
	Ask about education, ask about unemployment, you're gonna health care, he's just gonna spread his agenda on this stuff.
	They're not trying to fix it.
	Mr. Limbo, I disagree.
	They're morally outraged by the unemployment rate, and they're more well, it's just gotten worse in the last three months.
	I don't see anything being done to stop it.
	See, the the dirty little secret is that the more misery among people who are already, I mean, people are already miserable or voting Democrat anyway.
	People in dire educational or economic circumstances are already voting Democrat.
	And they've been voting Democrat all their lives under the premise it's all gonna get better.
	It doesn't get better, particularly in blue cities, major metro areas.
	The conclusion, therefore, has to be one of two things.
	Either they don't know how to fix it, quote unquote, or they don't want to.
	And if you have a statist and authoritarian whose objective is to grow the government as large as possible, I mean it's the fundamental element of that is having as many people dependent on that government as possible.
	And then when you have them dependent, it also furthers your cause to blame other people, like the Republicans, or the rich, or others who don't care about the fact you don't have a job and that you can't get an education.
	Do you people realize how absurd it is to say that people cannot get an education in the United States of America?
	You realize how absurd that is?
	If you are not being educated in this country, you ain't trying.
	It's just that simple.
	We'll be back.
	Hey, we got a call from Dave Mason, the artist who sang We Just Disagree.
	He heard that we used it yesterday as our moderate update.
	He loved it.
	All right.
	All right.
	Dave Mason loved it.
	By the way, this is from, let's see, the Chicago, somewhere in Chicago, ChicagoBreakingNews.com.
	I don't know what the news agency is.
	you Uh officials at several health clinics serving largely Hispanic residents in Chicagoland cautioned against unfairly tying Hispanics to the outbreak.
	Uh, at a news conference held at the Pilson Wellness Center, a center partnered with the Centro de Salud Esperanza Clinic.
