Time Text
Uh, Snerdley, is poor old Ralph from San Antonio still on the phone.
We finished with him a half hour ago if he's still on the phone.
It's a poor guy is.
Well, then take him off the board.
Yeah.
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
The telephone number 800-282-2882.
Okay, health insurance.
What's it for?
Health insurance insure your health.
It can't possibly.
Health insurance cannot possibly ensure your health.
In fact, health insurance was never intended to ensure your health.
Health care insurance used to be called medical insurance.
It's merely an instrument of neutralizing risk, financial risk, not health risk.
It was brought about by a need to insure a family's assets against a dread disease requiring care so expensive and wiped the family out financially.
As a strictly financial planning endeavor, the issue never seemed to be discussed in terms of being a right or in terms of compassion.
But medical insurance as a component of financial planning has morphed into health care as a right for everyone in the new political parlance.
Not only is the insurance a right, but the insurance should be free, and it should cover everything from routine care visits to erectile dysfunction to attention deficit disorder to adodicomies.
Yeah, adodicomies are covered in San Francisco.
It's no more practical to have health insurance pay for prescription drugs and routine doctor visits than it is to expect your auto insurance to pay for your oil changes and tire rotations.
This is Edmund Wright at the AmericanTinker.com.
There is so much brilliance out there on health care cover.
I'm glad this actually has come up here because we're getting a perspective and a viewpoint on this that we have not had throughout this whole debate.
And Obama is reeling.
He ain't going like it was supposed to go.
It's uh wasn't supposed to be this hard.
Pete Wayner, I didn't have a chance to read it.
Pete Wayner commentary piece, it's not, it just wasn't supposed to be this hard.
And I doubt anything in Obama's life really has been hard.
I've been very charmed.
In this story that I from the AP Obama may have to wait for health care, listen to this quote from Obama.
There have been so many times during my political career where people have said, boy, this is make or break for Obama.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, his career is about five minutes old.
So many times in my career, and he talks about stock market went down, nobody is saying this is a disaster when I've what I found is as long as we're making good decisions, which you're well, his career is five minutes old.
He had 150 days in the Senate.
He's never done anything.
Obviously, it's time for a third memoir.
I mean, if his career is this extensive, now he had this many challenges, it's time for the third biography.
Yeah, and then let's let's let's just start discussing a legacy.
What a career for what a career, 150 days in the Senate, and rabble rousing as a community organizer.
By the way, I mentioned earlier uh that what ought to be really insured, we just talked about health insurance here, is catastrophic care.
If we're gonna have a health care program, we didn't even reform.
Let's just do that and then have people in the free market buy whatever other insurance policies they want.
For the day-to-day trip to the doctor, tonsilida, whatever it is.
But catastrophic stuff that can wipe you out.
Well, let's have insurance for maybe okay, let's let's do that.
In fact, I have been reminded that Ronald Reagan wanted just that, and in fact, I've been reminded That he even got passed the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act in 1988.
Now you'll remember this when I give you the details.
The Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act in 1988 required Medicare to pay for severe and prolonged illness as a protection against catastrophic expense.
But once the elderly beneficiaries found out that their premiums would go up to a top rate of $560 more, they threw a fit, and that is when I think a bunch of them surrounded the car of Dan Ross Rosenkowski in Chicago.
And literally they were they repealed the act.
The AARP, the American Association for the Advancement of Liberal Old People, said that well, not admit the American Association of Liberal Old People, whatever it is.
They were the first to demand this.
And then when they found out it was going to cost just $560 more, they blew a gasket and the they had to repeal the act.
$560 additional annual premium at a top rate.
I don't know if that term greedy geezer was coined then.
That's a good question.
I don't know when the term greedy geezer was coined.
But Congress repealed the act.
So we've already tried it, but but Medicare is supposed to be free.
Medicare is supposed to be free.
All right.
It is increasingly clear as we travel around the country.
I have watch town hall meetings with members of Congress on health care.
It is clear that voters know much more than government officials do about what's in the plan.
We had Catholic Sibelius down there in Reserve, Louisiana.
Guy stood up, I'll be damned if he's gonna socialize my country.
She had no clue.
Well, she lost it because she, you know, these are God juniors.
Obama's God.
These people think that they're universally loved like he is.
Ben Cardin, he got hit up pretty good by a guy in uh in Maryland, and Russ Carnahan.
This may take the cake.
Russ Carnahan.
You know, you might be able to take the combined IQ of the Carnahan family, and it wouldn't equal the pencil eraser.
I tell you, these people, this is just hilarious.
This is this is Monday at Forest Park Campus, St. Louis Community College in St. Louis, Representative Russ Carnahan, Democrat Missouri, held a town hall meeting to talk about health care reform.
Here is a portion of his remarks.
The overall cost of the package has been estimated at about a trillion dollars over ten years.
About half of that comes from savings and efficiencies in the system.
Part of that has Congressional Budget Office.
Now, re-queue that they laughed.
They laughed when Russ Carnahan said the estimated cost is a 10 is a trillion dollars over 10 years, and about half of that comes from savings and inefficiencies.
Now, do you know who first said inefficiencies?
Obama.
He misspoke.
He meant to say efficiencies.
They had to rush out a correction from the White House, and they said everybody knew what he meant.
Russ Carnahan didn't get the memo.
Russ Carnahan stuck with inefficiencies.
Here it is from the top.
The overall cost of the package has been estimated at about a trillion dollars over 10 years.
About half of that comes from savings and efficiencies in the system.
Part of that has Congressional Budget Office most recently came out and uh analyzed the current plan and said that it was not only deficit neutral, which has been one of the important factors for the president and congressional leaders, but also that over 10 years it would create a six billion dollar surplus.
So they're laughing at him.
They know more than he does.
They're laughing at their congressman.
They're laughing at their Democrat congressman at Forest Park campus of the St. Louis Community College in St. Louis.
Here's another portion of this town hall.
When we have the larger pools, uh, we also have the ability to spread and shrink those administrative costs, so that a larger portion of our health care dollar is actually going to treating the patient as opposed to administrative cost.
Novel concept.
But uh very important part of creating those larger pools.
It's so good, why doesn't Congress have to be on it?
If it's so good, why doesn't Congress have to be on it?
Uh as I said earlier, the health plan, well, we we hear about the health plan that Congress has.
It's not government run.
It is a smorgasbord of choices.
It's paid for by us, but it's not government run.
They have private sector health coverage.
But they everybody misunderstands this.
They think it's a government-run program.
It's not.
These clowns are the government, and they would no more entrust their health care to each other than they would entrust their lives to each other.
But they'll put us in the system.
Their health care after Obamacare gets done will continue to be private sector health care.
They're not opting into this.
Their health care is not government-run.
All right, let's go back.
So Russ Carnahan got laughed at and ridiculed by his own constituents, laughing.
Let's go back and let's revisit Monday in Maryland.
Ben Cardin talking to a constituent who's chosen not to buy insurance, likes his life that way.
That's working out fine for me because I'm able to save that extra money and give it to my family members and use it on myself.
Senator Carter.
I want to know.
Are you going to tell me, an individual, that I have to buy health care, or else you're going to fine me $2,500 every year that I don't do.
What happens if you get sick?
What happens if you are in a car accident?
Or what happens if you happen to slip and you have a broken bone and you end up in the emergency rooms.
You don't pay.
You are the part of the population that shifts its cost over wrong.
Wrong to wrong.
A person who does pay.
And they're paying for you.
Wrong, wrong.
The truth of the matter is here that he didn't deny the guy's question.
Are you going to make me buy insurance or fine me?
Yeah.
And you know why?
Because you don't have you don't have the guts to pay.
You don't have a plan.
And so you're going to be paid for by others.
Wrong.
You go to the emergency room, they treat you.
It's federal law.
They send you a bill.
You don't pay it, they come repossess one of your kids, your car, whatever they can get.
And uh this is yeah, you can be fined if you don't have it.
It's a right, you understand.
And you'll be fined if you don't have that right.
Let's go back.
Kathleen Sebelius in reserve, Louisiana, also on Monday.
It'll be a cold in hell before he socializes my country.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
The federal employee health system would stay in place, as would other employer-based coverage.
No, the federal employee health system would stay in place in the private sector, other employer-based coverage advantage because they would opt out of it.
Now, here's, we actually have the quote, or the soundbite here.
Last is CBS Evening News, Katie Couric now presiding over the lowest ratings ever in the history of CBS Evening News, despite the intro still being done by the late Walter Cronkite.
Interviewed Obama.
She said there's a lot of talk about momentum right now.
And of course, the first month of the presidency, that's when a political wind is with you.
Are you worried if you can't get something passed soon that health care reform will be DOA?
There have been so many times during uh my political career, certainly during the presidential race, and even over the last six months where people have said, boy, this is make or break for uh Obama.
Uh that was true when I was in Iowa, and people were sure that uh we weren't gonna win.
That was true during periods in the general election, uh, when the stock market went down, everybody was saying this is a disaster.
And what I found is that as long as we are making good decisions, thinking always what's going to be best for the American people, that uh eventually, as long as we're persistent and we're listening to the American people, then things get done.
Well, you're not listening to them because they don't want this.
It's up over 50% now who want no part of this.
But throughout my career, which is five minutes old.
150 days in the Senate, six months in the White House, some career.
As I say, time for a third memoir.
Gotten so much done, so many hard decisions out there, so many challenges out there.
Katie Couric.
And the exchange continued.
Are you concerned at all that if health care reform fails, it will be a huge and devastating setback to your presidency and may put some of the rest of your agenda in peril.
You know, I think that the easiest way to keep your poll numbers up and uh to garner good press is to do not that much here in this town, and not to cause a lot of controversy.
And there are some people who would probably advise that that's the approach you should take.
But that's not why the American people sent me here.
They sent me here to solve problems.
Yeah.
Uh no, if that's what they thought they were sending you to do, you're causing them.
You're not causing problems, and they're can I it's catch it up with them.
People figuring it out now.
He's causing this stuff.
So Katie Kirk finally says, Mr. President, if the stimulus plan isn't really working, at least for now, why should Americans sign off on spending billions of dollars on health care reform?
I disagree that the stimulus plan is not working.
Think about what where we've been.
And since that time, we have stabilized the financial markets.
We have created the ability of businesses to borrow again.
No, no.
We have prevented uh thousands of layoffs in states all across the country.
We need to be absolutely not.
Would things be much worse if we had not put the recovery package in place?
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah, they rescued the economy out there.
So none of that's true.
Uh think about the uh financial markets.
You know how we stabilized financial markets?
It wasn't a stimulus plan.
Bernanke has flooded the financial markets with dollars.
And I saw the other day, it's if we fully bailed it out.
Do you realize what a myth?
The financial markets are 23 trillion to make them all solvent is what somebody said it would cost.
Come on, day three trillion.
There haven't been a trillion hours since Christ was born.
Or a trillion trillion seconds, maybe something like that.
Twenty-three trillion.
Okay, so Obama, you heard him say here.
Things would be much worse if we hadn't put that recovery package in place.
But it was just yesterday that Barney Frank said.
No one has ever gotten re-elected with a bumper sticker said, it would have been worse without me.
You probably can get Kenya with that, but you can't win office.
I understand that reality, but we should not let it distort us.
And it would not, I think, hurt us every so often to admit that not every action by every public official was a bad thing, and sometimes we should give people credit for trying to cope with uh an unpleasant reality the best they can.
Yeah, right.
So Obama says, hey, it would have been much worse if we hadn't done this.
Barney Frank says, I never knew anybody got re-elected trying that, Troy.
Listen to this.
I have just been handed, ladies and gentlemen, a this is Intel, intercepted intel, an email from a liberal pro-government run health care advocate to his P in Virginia to his uh organizing group.
I'm gonna get them all fired up.
Here's the email.
We are at a transformational time, especially when it comes to the possibility of getting health care coverage for every person in this country.
Unfortunately.
Conservative talk radio has people all wound up on calls to some of our members of Congress this week are running 15 to 1 against health care reform.
How can anyone advocate keeping things the way they are?
The Libs are upset with me again.
By the way, folks, we now know.
We now know why this health care plan has to be passed before the August recess.
We have learned it in this half hour.
Obama says, you need it, deadline to get anything done.
Without a deadline doesn't get no, that's not the answer.
The answer is what we've heard in these town hall meetings from Kathleen Sibelius in Reserve, Louisiana, Russ Carnahan in St. Louis, Ben Cardin in Maryland.
And what Obama and Rom are going to tell members of Congress, if you don't do this before the August recess, you're going to go home.
You're going to do your town meetings, and your constituents are going to hang you out to dry.
They're going to beat you up, and there's going to be audio and video of it.
And by the time you get back here, limbaugh and handity on TV, and everybody is going to be playing all of this footage of town meetings where your constituents are ripping you to shreds and laughing at you.
That's why you got to get it done before the August recess.
I'll I'll lay you 10 to 1 after after these three incidents here.
I guarantee you Ram Emanuel's going to tell them that.
You better get this done, or you're going to get you're going to get destroyed when you go home for your recess, and they're going to make they're going to make clowns out of you for the rest of your career.
Man, oh man, the drive-by's going nuts here.
Uh the office of the doc that uh treated Jacko, Jacko Doc's office has been raided uh by the uh the DEA at a cardiologist's office down there in Houston.
Uh, we're back.
Great to have you here on the EIB network.
Uh see.
Audio sound, but we're gonna illustrate my point here, uh, ladies and gentlemen, I guarantee you Obama Emmanuel are telling members of Congress Well, you have seen what's happened to Carnahan.
You saw what happened to Kathleen Sebelius.
You have seen what happened to Ben Cardin.
The constituents out there know more about this bill than you do or I do, is what Obama telling them.
And they are gonna pepper you with stuff if the and and and you are gonna be made look like a laughing stock, and Limbaugh and everybody else are gonna be playing footage of these town meetings you're gonna have on the recess.
You better get this done now before you leave.
That's the reason for the deadline.
Remember Monday, Obama, he didn't even know what's in the bill.
He had a conference call with left wing bloggers, and a liberal blogger from Maine had this exchange.
They're saying that HR 320 will make individual private medical insurance illegal.
Is this true?
Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though HR 320 is passed?
You know, I I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you're talking about.
So you don't want to be laughed at like I've been laughed at, and you don't want to be laughed at like Russ Carnahan's been laughed at, of course he's laughed at a lot, not just this outtown meeting.
You don't want to get laughed at like Carden got laughed at, and you don't want to get treated like Kathleen Sabilius got treated.
So uh hurry up.
And I want you to hear this again.
This is from the ABC, Obama Special on Healthcare from back in June.
And Jane Sturm stands up.
My my mother is 105 at 100, the doctor said to her, I can't do anymore unless you have a pacemaker.
I said go for it.
She said go for it.
The specialist said, nah, she's too old.
She went to another specialist who saw her joy of life, and that specialist said, I'm going for it.
Five years ago, she got the pacemaker.
My question to you, Mr. President, do we outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who's elderly, is there any consideration it can be given for a certain spirit?
I you know, this question in the United States of America, we actually have a citizen asking the president, Mr. President, is this something you can do to take into account somebody's life before killing them?
Because of health care?
And here's Obama's answer.
I don't think that we can make judgments based on people's spirit.
Uh, that'd be uh a pretty subjective decision to be making.
I think we have to have rules that uh say that we are gonna provide good quality care for all people.
End of life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we're gonna have to make.
But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another.
If they're not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they're being made by private insurers.
At least we can let doctors know, and your mom know that you know what, maybe this isn't gonna help.
Maybe you're better off uh not having the surgery, but taking uh the painkiller.
Let's just zone you out.
Let's just zone your grandmother out, loop her out, put her on the pain medicine, and she won't even know that she's gonna die.
She won't remember dying.
You believe this is happening in our country.
I can understand somebody, you know, calling up Kim Jong-il.
I can understand somebody calling up Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro, if they could get through.
Can you do something about you know my my my my grandmother is only fifty and then not too old.
No money.
Dead hang up.
But calling the President of the United States and asking this kind of question.
Barney Frank, upset, ladies and gentlemen.
He has a different theory as to why there's a roadblock on health care, and it's all about defense spending.
He was on MSNBC last night, and he was asked about the uh the F-22 that they said we don't need any more of those.
Here's what he said.
Oh, without question, we're being told that we can't afford to do health care, that we uh can't afford to do housing, uh, et cetera.
Well, the military budget is the main reason we can't afford it.
If we had not fought that foolish and destructive warning rock, we would have the money to pay for health care.
That whole debate wouldn't happen.
We have the money for health care in the stimulus package, Barn.
We could have insured twelve million people, the the d uh poor working we could have insured twelve million people for twenty-nine billion dollars for one year.
Chump change compared to the one trillion we spent.
If this is so important, Barn.
The Liberals never change.
They never change.
Cut defense, cut defense, cut cut defense.
You know, entitlements are over sixty percent of the budget?
Entitlements.
So Barney wasn't through.
He's all revved up here, as you can tell.
If we don't begin to curtail military spending excesses, then we will be in that vine.
If we'd lost this fight, I give the president a regular credit for rallying after we lost the the first round, then uh all bets would have been off and we would have an ever increasing military budget, almost literally eating everybody else's lunch.
There you have it, Marnie Frey.
Move forward to sound by twenty-five.
Nancy Pelosi, I mentioned earlier in the program they uh the parade of victims now.
You know they're in trouble when they bring out the parade of victims.
Pelosi brings out a parade of people that have cancer.
Uh to have them we want health care.
Cancer, we're dying, and we want health care.
These are the exact people that won't get it.
What the Republicans ought to do is bring out their own parade of victims who will be cut off from health care if this passes.
Here is what the Speaker of the House said in resorting to this page in a 30-year-old playbook.
Today we're going to hear real stories from real people about the impact uh that health care reform will have on their lives.
We are joined by four Americans who have tried to work hard and play by the rules and have ended up with crushing health care costs and debts.
Vernon McCount of Freedom Maine was tens of thousands of dollars in medical debt because of his health insurance had a waiting period and a high deductible.
Molly Secours of Nashville, Tennessee, whose medical debt from uterine cancer could result in foreclosure on her home.
Catherine Howard of San Francisco, California, and Jaclyn Nicolos of Norwich, Massachusetts, who both beat cancer but had radically different experiences with their health insurance.
So the parade of victims has uh has begun.
The old standard uh by the way, I got the official staff here.
You know, we're talking about 23 trillion dollars to uh completely make the financial system solvent.
Somebody said that.
One trillion dollars equals a million dollars a day since Christ was born.
That's one trillion.
You could spend a million a day, not year.
Multiply 2009 by 365.
That's how many days.
And you could spend a million dollars on each of those days and you would equal one trillion.
And we're told we're out of money.
What are you laughing at in there, Snerdley?
What's so well the parade of victims, yeah.
We're speeding, by the way, if you're just joining us here, we're speeding all we're speeding up Barney Frank, Pelosi, and Obama, because they're the ones in a hurry on this.
So if they're in such a damn hurry, we'll hurry up their speech to help emphasize just how hurried they are.
Or as it's being said today, in a rush.
They are.
Here's Janie in uh Soda Springs, Idaho.
Hi, Janie, great to have you with us.
Thank you for taking my call.
I appreciate that.
You bet.
I'm just really glad you got to visit our state and enjoy our outdoor air conditioning.
And I'd like to invite you to come to our golf course where you can play golf right next to the wagon ruts of the old Oregon Trail.
Well, that it was it was beautiful.
It's the first time I've been to Idaho, went to Quarter Lane.
Oh, we're down in we're down in the mountains in the southeast corner.
And it's really pretty here.
Yeah, that'd be 20 minutes away on EIB 1.
I mean from quarter lane.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I want to go up to uh what is the place um?
Um the media bigs have their meeting there every year, and John Kerry has a place up there.
My good friend Mike Hartley has a place right next to John Kerry.
Uh yeah, catch him Idaho, Sun Valley.
No, not catch him.
It's uh it's uh Sun Valley.
Yeah, yeah, Sun Valley.
That's Sun Valley, yeah.
Another twenty minutes away on EIB one from Quarter Lane.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know you didn't call about travel, so what what's up?
Okay.
My question is I I think Obama is an a is a chameleon and the change he talked about, but he changes.
And I want to know is he going to change again and move to the center for the next election.
And or is he just arrogant enough to think that he doesn't have to do that now and he's gonna throw the Democrats under the bus.
Which election you mean?
2010?
Yes.
Well, Obama's never been anything other than what he is.
He's never been a centrist.
Obama he talks that we talk centrism all through the campaign, but now we see the reality.
He's a radical leftist.
If he can do it once, he can do it again.
I mean, if something that's happened before can happen again.
Much more logical than something never happening to happen.
But he's done it, so he'll do whatever he has to to get this done.
He will do whatever and and to save his presidency if it means Democrats lose.
He might even like Republicans taking over one of these houses of Congress.
I'll tell you why.
Because then they get to share the blame.
He may not he might not mind the Democrats losing the Senate or the or the or the House.
I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't prefer it, but I bet you they got a plan.
Okay, good.
These guys win, they're gonna be culpable too.
Right.
We can triangulate like Clinton.
I he in fact, you know, if if if they don't convince these clowns to get this done by the August recess, when they do come back, and they will come back.
He's not that's why it's it's it we should not get giddy here.
This is not over.
This hasn't been beaten.
He'll come back and say, okay, we've listened, we've heard, and uh, we're gonna pull this out, we're gonna pull that out.
And people go, all right, we won and then they'll put it all back in over time with new legislation added to the overall legislation, just like they they uh uh we we beat him back on the amnesty bill, but now they're going back at it piecemeal.
It's a thing about the left, Janie.
I don't I don't care move center, move right, move they're liberals.
As such, they're dishonest.
They do not seek to do what the people want.
They hold a people in contempt.
They want power over the people.
They will say and do whatever.
The reason that they're so just peddled to the metal liberal is because you nailed it.
They own Washington, and that makes them arrogant in public.
They're not holding back, they're not denying who they are now.
Because they think they've got power back forever.
And they don't.
These things are always cyclical.
I have to take a brief time out.
Don't go away.
You know, I love stories like this.
This is an AP story out of Nashville, Tennessee.
Now, what is noteworthy about Nashville, Tennessee?
Nashville, Tennessee is where Al Gore lives.
Headline, coolest July 21, recorded in Nashville as Cool Wave continues in Tennessee.
Cool weather's broken a previous low temperature for July 21st in Nashville, set when Rutherford B. Hayes was president.
National Weather Service temperature station showed 58 degrees at 5 30 a.m. yesterday, wiped out the previous low of 60 degrees, set in 1877 in Al Gore's Well, that's where Al Gore lives.
Um Gore's town breaks cold record.
There isn't global warming, and there isn't a health care crisis.
But Obama says he's got to raise taxes and take over the private sector to fix both these things, which are non existent problems.
Uh Maui.
This is Laurie in Maui, Hawaii.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Uh Lori, hi.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Hi, thank you.
I'm so glad I got through to you.
It's taking me a long time.
It's early in Hawaii.
It's just 10 till 9 in the morning in Hawaii, too.
Of course, but it's beautiful here, and you need to come over here and play golf.
I am.
You'll love it.
I'll be I'm going to be there the uh first week of September.
Oh, God, take my number so I can talk come and talk to you.
You're so smart.
I love you so I'm telling you.
Because I know you only got a little bit of time with each of us on the radio, but take my numbers so you can we can go have dinner.
I'll bring my husband.
He's 91 years old, and he's healthy as a champ.
My question, I got actually I want to ask you something and then give you two things to research, okay?
And then give us an answer at some other time.
Yeah.
Uh when Obama gets asked a hard question, and he goes into that 10 or 15 rant that he goes on, going on, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yep.
When he first asks a question, he tries to answer it, but he can't.
So he goes on about something else, and I'm totally lost to what he's talking about.
That's the point.
That's the exact what he's doing out there, Lori.
I'm gonna ask you to give Snerdley your research questions because I've got to get a couple sound bites in here, so don't hang up here.
But Lori, the point of the long answers is to limit the number of questions.
Not only that, it's to limit the number of questions and is to dazzle people with uh his command of intricate detail.
But let's note that the uh audience ratings for his TV press conferences are plummeting, folks.
It's gonna be interesting to see what they are tonight.
So get her two research things.
There's trouble brewing on the Al Sharpton radio show, folks.
Somebody 28, I'm sorry.
Some of us say it during the election that we need to get straight on things about the black community.
A lot of people call, don't do that.
Y'all just jealous.
Y'all play a hating.
Told us to shut up.
Now he is doing exactly what he promised.
And y'all want us to go back now and make him do something he never promised.
He's not lying.
He never told nobody.
He was going to a gun and apologize for slavery.
He ain't saying nothing now.
He didn't say last year.
He never told y'all he was bought reparations.
He said he didn't.
And y'all beat us down.
You gotta support the brother.
What do you take us so long for Sharp?
Now, what's happening here is uh folks, it's kind of fascinating.
It goes to the the the whole point here is that the Sharpton's audience on his radio talk show is getting on him because they don't think Obama's sufficiently down for the struggle.
He hasn't talked about reparations, what they want, this kind of stuff.
And Sharpton say, Yeah, I told you so, but he's defending Obama because Obama never promises stuff people thought they're gonna get.
These people really thought Obama's gonna get them out of their bad houses and get them into new cars or maybe new dishwashers and so forth.
They didn't have it.
Reparations.
What they don't know is that in Obama's entire economic program is reparations.
If I were Sharpton, if I've been guest hosting Sharpton show and I got a call like that, somebody complaining, I said, No, hey, hey, hey, shh.
Let me tell you the truth here.
Everything in the stimulus plan, every plan he's got his reparations.
He's gonna take from the rich.
He's gonna take them, he's gonna give it to you.
It just can't happen overnight.
Be patient.
That's what's redistribution of wealth, reparations, we're returning the nation's wealth to which rightful owners, whatever you want to call it, reparations.
It's happening.
Fastest three hours in media.
Gone.
Just like that.
This has been fun today.
And it's only gonna get better tomorrow.
We'll look forward to seeing you back here, same time, same place.
Did you get her research subjects, uh Snerdley?
Thank you.
Very good.
I didn't like your tone of voice there, but I'm glad that you got the research subjects in Lori and Maui.
We'll see you tomorrow, folks.
