Time Text
This is really we've got a bunch of kids.
We have a bunch of man children in the White House.
Robert Gibbs, who's gotta be.
Well, never mind.
Robert Gibbs, the White House press spokesman, has just said, Well, of course, these cops up in Cambridge that come out and demand the president apologize.
If I'm not mistaken, the fraternal order of police endorsed McCain.
Can we not lose sight of who started this?
Barack Nyphong started this.
The White House says that this is turning this into something totally political now, folks.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And we're back up on line Friday, Rush Linball here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Open line Friday, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So when Gates, the White House press secretary, comes on and says, Well, of course, those cops.
Up in Cambridge, want President to apologize.
I think the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed McCain.
You know what?
That's the same thing as saying, of course, those cops are white.
That's what that's what Gibbs is saying.
I tell you, we are finding it.
This White House now knows it is in trouble.
They the standard operating procedure for Obama, whenever he's been in trouble, throw the race card.
He doubling down on it now.
He started this.
He started this.
And I'm convinced purposefully.
At his press conference on Wednesday night saying the police acted stupidly, refused, and he also said that it was ridiculous to arrest.
What?
A middle-aged man.
Ridiculous to arrest a middle-aged man.
How old was the guy who killed the people at the Holocaust Museum?
Close to 80, right?
Would it have been ridiculous to arrest that kook?
Because he's close to 80 years old.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
This guy, it doesn't matter to him.
Whatever he says is right.
He doesn't have to know what he's talking about.
Of course the cops endorse McCain.
Of course the cops don't like Obama.
Well, let's turn this into something political now.
And let's make it not just political, let's make it racial.
Predicted this.
I hate to say it.
I predicted this.
I knew not the specific incident, but I knew that that far from erasing a racist past.
Far from eliminating it or even watering it down.
This this is gonna this this election was gonna end up exacerbating it, and here it is.
And we've got a fire that started now, and a match was lit by President Obama.
Well, we got the match lit.
The uh Justice Department still tracking down criminals from civil rights era crimes who are elderly, and when they can they arrest them, and when they NNA handcuff them.
The Justice Department's still doing that.
Civil rights era criminals back in the who were adults in the 50s and 60s.
And when they find them, they arrest them.
Ah, Henry Lewis data shouldn't be uh shouldn't uh shouldn't be uh arrested, middle-aged man.
So I guess I guess in Obama's way of thinking, these cops are just typical white people, right?
His grandmother, typical white woman.
Remember when he threw her under the bus, just like my grandmother.
I love her to death, but a typical white woman.
Well, when Gates comes out here and says, of course, of course, of course the cops endorse McCain.
Oh, yeah, typical white cops.
Typical white guy.
We're looking at a replay of the Duke Lacrosse case here, folks, with Barack Nyphong in charge.
And this is from, let's see.
Well, it's it's a blog, Newsreelblog.com.
The brief arrest of Henry Lewis Gates this week continue to provide fodder for cable talk shows in their seemingly shared Rolodex of reliably race-baiting guests, University of Pennsylvania professor and noted gangster rap expert Michael Eric Dyson has proven to be particularly popular with the show bookers.
And he presumably hasn't disappointed them yet during his Monday appearance on the CNN situation room at Wolf Blitzer.
Blitzer didn't challenge Dyson while he played precisely the song one would expect of him, declaring that America is a fundamentally racist nation.
Gates was an innocent victim of racial profiling.
Last night on MSNBC, um Dyson said that Gates is the Rosa Parks of racial profiling.
And of course, CNN anchor Tony Tony Harris, after a press conference by police union organizations in uh Cambridge, Massachusetts today, said this.
Here's my point.
This is incendiary.
Race in this country is powerfully incendiary.
So Tony Tony Harris, I guess, uh is suggesting here that after Obama calls the Cambridge cops stupid, so they acted stupidly.
They're just both shut up.
Their reputation's impugned, their work ethic impugned.
Hatred for cops ginned up all over the country by that comment.
Cops just, well, we know your race is incendiary.
We're gonna we're gonna stand down.
So the cops demanding an apology and defending their officer who trains officers in racial profiling.
They're supposed to stand down while this guy takes all the heat brought on by Obama.
Obama doesn't get criticized.
Obama doesn't get talked back to.
Obama doesn't get laughed at.
Obama.
You've got a combination here of an acorn community agitator and Barack Nifong working on this.
And now the media getting guests claiming Gates is the modern equivalent of Rosa Parks in terms of racial profiling.
And during the cop press conference in Massachusetts, they said there's no racial profile.
This is Cambridge.
Do you know what that means?
I don't even want to have to translate that.
Uh in fact, you know what?
Let's bring in.
It's been a while.
Let's bring in our official Obama criticizer.
Mr. Bow Sturdley.
Let me know when the electronics and the technology is ready.
Is the Obama criticizer have something to say about this?
Would you would you like to weigh in?
Uh thank you very much, Russ.
Official Obama criticizer both snurredly here.
I have a question.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You are officially black enough to criticize, right?
Officially black enough to criticize right on brother.
Good.
Um, Obama, what's up with this, yo?
Here you got, first of all, everybody keeps saying the man was arrested in his house.
Does anybody stop and actually read the newspaper, yo?
The well, there's only one or two left out there.
Um, it's not his house.
The house belongs to Harvard.
He's just chilling in it, yo.
That's number one.
Secondly, you got two brothers roll up on the house, right?
Okay, put yourself in that situation, yo.
You got two brothers roll up on the house.
Somebody calls this cop, say, yo, man, there's two people out there, man.
I think they can, you know, something's up over there.
They go in the house, right?
Okay.
The boys would be like, yo, man, thanks.
Yo, showing up.
Everything is cool over here.
Nobody else is in here.
See you later.
Out.
No, now it blows up.
But I got a question for you, Rush.
Where's Colin Powell?
That is a fascinating question.
By the way, uh, since you mentioned it, Colin Powell does come up as a discussion item in part two of my interview with Greta Van Sustran tonight.
But that is an interesting question.
Where is Colin Powell weighing in on uh on this issue?
I'd like you also, as the official Obama criticizer, uh, to explain what the university or the Cambridge uh police organization said, what they meant when they Said that there's there's no racial profiling there.
That there is they know that racial profiling happens elsewhere in the country, but it doesn't happen there.
Why would you think that there's no racial profiling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Harvard is located?
This is Cambridge.
Come on, man, what you think we're talking about?
Queens, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Fran.
No, yo, this is Cambridge.
We have the upper crust of the upper crust here.
The black people in Cambridge aren't really like, you know, black, like, you know, urban black there, like super black.
They're not like the of the brothers.
These are the let me quote the vice president, the clean ones, the smart ones, the articulate ones.
So we don't profile the clean articulate smart brothers as as the vice president.
The vice president Joe Biden said that's right.
About Obama, about Obama.
About Obama.
Exactly.
You know, yeah, right.
You know, that was before Joe Biden stopped over that Indian Delhi 7-Eleven thing, but that's a whole nother story.
So in Cambridge, they don't profile black people because the black people there are like white people, except they're black.
Kinda.
So they're sort of like they're they're they're except for the way they think.
Uh they're clean.
Well articulate.
I I think that's pretty much sums it up.
They smile.
Except for Louie.
Gates.
Oh, oh, yes.
Uh uh Professor Get the distinguished uh Professor Gates, Louie, you know, in the Well, I appreciate that's the official Obama criticizer, uh Bo Snerdly, answering the most pressing question today.
Why is there no racial profiling in Cambridge?
And how can this Eric Dyson clown claim that Louie is the um Rosa Parks of racial profiling now?
I'll tell you it's a Duke Lacrosse case all over.
Barack Nyphong leading the charge.
We'll be back.
Ladies and gentlemen, I uh would like to offer a slight correction to something stated by the official Obama criticizer.
The official Obama criticized stated essentially there was no racial profiling in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
There is.
It's in the admissions policy at Harvard University.
But not on the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The racial profiling that occurs in Cambridge, Massachusetts does not involve the police.
It involves the liberals that run uh Harvard University.
And uh we we haven't, yeah, we haven't seen any police testing in uh in in uh they haven't any case say brought before a judge like Sonia Sotomayor to see if cops uh face a uh uh an unfair test in Cambridge Mass, but that's probably coming.
Also, it's not just the police in Cambridge who are asking Obama to apologize.
A press release yesterday.
Dr. Richard Kerr, MD, West Virginia Libertarian Party member, and a retired doctor with 36 years experience as asked President Obama Thursday to apologize for comments made in the press conference Wednesday night accusing of doctors uh of conspiring to make children sicker for profit.
So there's a lot of people that want Barack Nyphong to apologize, but he's not going to apologize because Acorn does not apologize.
Law enforcement does not apologize, and you can think the cops are over here, but the number one law enforcement officer in the country is Barack Nyphong.
Judge, jury, hanging judge, prosecutor, you name it, and he's in action in full gear.
Columbia, Maryland, as we go back to the phones on open line Friday.
Hi.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh, how are you?
Fine and dandy, sir.
Thank you.
Great.
I've been listening to you for about 17 years, and today's the first time I've attempted a call and I got through.
Congratulations.
That's a that's a major accomplishment.
A lot of people have been trying for 20 years and they haven't made it.
Listen, while we're asking the president for apologies, I think the president should should apologize to all those brave men and women he's committed to the battlefields of Afghanistan.
For him to suggest that victory isn't his objective, let me ask you this.
Does anybody doubt that the objective of every one of those brave warriors is victor victory?
I I mean this guy, I I can't even figure out where he comes from.
It sounds as though he's afraid of achieving victory because then he'd have to apologize for that.
I think you're right.
I think you I think there is a guilt that he has associated with U.S. victory, U.S. success.
There's a guilt, it's somehow immoral and unjust because we have an unfair advantage going in.
But you are you are exactly right.
If you're just tuning in, Barack Obama said that he doesn't like the word or the concept victory being tossed around when discussing things in Afghanistan, because when he thinks victory, he thinks of Emperor Hero Hito coming down from the mountains and signing a surrender agreement with MacArthur on the USS Missouri.
So what the hell, but your your perspective here, then what are these brave troops doing over there?
He says all they're trying to do is prevent these people from attacking the U.S. But we don't well, we can't we he said we can't achieve victory out there, Bill, because these people aren't even part of a country.
Well, this is this is my if this commander in chief is committed to anything short of victory, he should be impeached.
I I mean I'm when I read this, I was so outraged, and I can't thank God I have not lost anybody close to me in this war.
But uh I could only think about the mothers, the fathers, the the wives, the the the husbands, the children of these people we've lost, uh and then the he I I can only imagine how they must feel when they hear the commander in chief say that you know victory really isn't the overarching concern in this.
I I mean I can't believe this guy.
Great point.
Great point.
Got a problem with victory.
Then why have them there in the first place?
Exactly.
Why if that or nothing should be the commitment because I guarantee you every one of those warriors is committed to victory.
Every day Barack Fonda is telling us who he is.
Every day he's either Barack Brock Fonda and Barack Naifong in one day.
He's telling us exactly who he is.
Pretty soon he's gonna be Barack Barack Marks every day.
It's outrageous.
But now he's adding, you know, last names and no birth certificate, so he can pay whatever name he wants on.
So Barack Nyphong, Barack Fonda.
Uh that's a great point.
I hadn't thought of that about the parents family members of these soldiers that are over.
And this this this mission they're on that it's just some huge, huge this is a huge offensive run.
The huge firefight that uh firefighters are taking place.
Well, look, Bill, I'm glad you called.
It's an excellent perspective.
Thank you.
You bet.
Memphis, Tim.
Hello, sir, you're next.
Go.
Hello, Rush.
Hi.
I was the first I was the first person in Memphis, Tennessee to ever listen to your show.
Hey, Rush, you there?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm I'm I'm when somebody says that to me, I'm trying, how can that be known?
Uh I'm such a literalist.
I see this.
How can he know that he was the first?
That's why I was just thinking, my mind was racing.
But I'm I was not ignoring you.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Does that answer your question?
Yeah.
Okay.
Earlier this week, Rush, the president said that the insurance companies cannot have free reign to do whatever they want to.
Um, Rush, these insurance companies, the the the health insurance line is a marginal business at best.
And the reason they offer health insurance is for the ancillary lines.
They want the life insurance, they want the uh long term disability line, and more importantly, they want to manage the 401k um assets and and the retirement benefits, because that's really where they make the money.
Let me give you a hypothetical um that I don't think the president understands.
Uh for instance, Prudential wants to write insurance in Missouri, and the Missouri Insurance Commission says, Well, you have to cover Voluntary cosmetic surgery a hundred percent.
You know what prudential would say?
Okay, fine, Missouri.
I'm not writing insurance in your state.
Goodbye.
That's fine.
Yeah, we'll go to San Francisco instead.
Well, I mean, we'll go somewhere else.
Look, they're in the business to make money.
For long.
And how the government thinks he he can create a product and compete with the insurance company at a lower premium, they're gonna say, I'm not doing it.
Exactly right.
He they're they're they're in business, but not for long.
They're trying to make a profit not for long.
He said in his press conference he's gonna squeeze their profits.
After he said they don't the damn free run to do what they want, free reign.
That's a denial of liberty.
This guy is purposely putting himself between people and their freedom.
And he's he's he's using some of the most horrible, uh mean spirited, despicable tactics to do it.
But folks, look at there there are those of us, I'm gonna tell you right now, and you can choose to believe me or not, I am not surprised by any of this because I have known who this guy is since long before he was inaugurated.
I know liberals, I know liberals like every square inch of my glorious shrinking buddy.
Not just I know him like a palm of my hand.
I know these people so well, I know and he's just the most radical of them.
But stoking a race fire, seen it happen.
Getting in the way of people and their freedom, seen it happen.
This is who the guy is, this is who his party is now.
A lot of people, I think, though, are being surprised.
A lot of people paying attention, probably surprised by this.
We'll see.
Gotta take a time out.
Thanks uh very much, Tim, for the call.
You remember this story from um the Associated Press.
Not that long ago, Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday, the United States was a nation of cowards on matters of race.
Most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues.
This was in a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month.
Holder said the workplace is largely integrated, but Americans still self-segregate on weekends and in their private lives.
So.
So uh are we braver now?
I mean, we're having this great conversation about raceholders, so we're not talking about it enough.
Are we are we are we brave?
Oh, Obama has made a surprise appearance in the White House daily briefing room.
He said he spoke with our microphones are there.
Continue to believe, based on what I have heard, that uh there was an overreaction in uh pulling Professor Gates uh out of his home to the station.
I also continue to believe, based on what I heard, that uh Professor Gates probably overreacted as well.
Throw him under the bus, I told you.
My sense is you've got two good people in a circumstance threw him under the bus.
Uh neither of them uh were able to resolve the incident in the way that it should have been resolved in the way they would have liked it to be.
Skip's gone.
Skip's been thrown overboard.
The fact that it has garnered so much attention, I think is a testimony to the fact that these are issues that are still very sensitive here in America.
Throw the race card again.
And uh, you know, so to the extent that my choice of words didn't illuminate, but rather contributed to more media frenzy.
I think that was unfortunate.
No teleport.
What would I like to do then is make sure that everybody steps back for a moment, recognizes that these are two decent people, uh not extrapolate too much from the facts.
Uh but as I said at the press conference, what uh be mindful of the fact that because of our history, because of the difficulties of the past, um, you know, African Americans are sensitive to these issues.
Don't extrapolate from the facts.
Uh even when you've got a police Officer who uh has a fine track record on racial sensitivity.
But still stupid.
Interactions between police officers and uh the African American community can sometimes be fraught with misunderstanding.
Oh, they're not here, not in this case.
That as a consequence of this event, uh this ends up being what's called a teachable moment, where all of us uh instead of pumping up the volume, spend a little more time listening to each other uh and try to focus on how we can generally improve uh uh relations between police officers and minority communities,
uh, and that instead of flinging accusations, uh we can uh be a little more reflective in terms of what we can do.
You engage through the accusations more unity.
Lord right now uh because over the last two days, as we've discussed this issue.
Uh I don't know if you've noticed, but nobody's been paying much attention to health care.
Not true.
Not true, dude.
The House is just that to spend uh uh uh we have been talking about health care.
You can't say that about us, old Buck Brock Buddy.
Uh but uh uh I just wanted to emphasize that.
No telepromp here, by the way.
Diarrhea of the mouth time here.
That as president, uh I shouldn't have stepped into this at all because it's a local issue.
Uh I have to tell you that uh that thing, that part of it I disagree with.
Um the fact that this has become such a big issue.
He's a community organizer.
He can't step away from the defining issue here.
Uh race is still a troubling aspect of our society.
He's trying to turn down the volume.
I were black or white.
Uh I think that uh me commenting on this uh and hopefully contributing to constructive as opposed to uh name.
Obviously a poll's plunged, baby.
That's why this is happening.
So your five-minute career, yeah.
At the end of the conversation, there was discussion about uh uh uh my conversation with uh Sergeant Crawley.
There was discussion about uh he and I uh and uh Professor Gates having a beer here in the White House.
Uh we don't know if that's scheduled yet, but uh uh but we may put that together.
He also uh did say uh he wanted to find out if there was a way of getting the press off his lawn.
Uh I in I informed him that uh I can't get the press off my lawn.
He pointed out Can't get involved.
That's a local issue.
I can't get the car, I can't get no no, I I can't I can't get the uh media away from you, Skip.
To the uh Boston Press as well as National Press, uh Sergeant Crawley would be happy for you to stop trampling his grass.
All right?
Thank you, guys.
Okay, here you go.
President Barack Naiphong trying to turn down the volume on this incident, throw he threw Skip Gates under the bus.
I hope you were listening at the beginning of the program.
If you were, I'll simply recap.
We will know when the heat is too much to bear.
We will know when the focus groups are screaming bloody murder, because he will throw Skip Gates under the bus.
Just like he threw Reverend Wright under the bus, and just like he threw his white grandmother under the bus.
Today it happened.
He threw Gates under the bus.
Um and by the way, I it I mean, w we're braver now, uh holders we're talking about race.
I'm gonna continue to talk about race here because I won't impress Holder.
Um the uh concept of a beer in the White House between the sergeant, Sergeant Crowley and uh uh Skip Gates and President uh Naifung.
Uh is is there is there some prejudice here that that the cops in Massachusetts drink bill, where's the Kobe beef?
That other people get when they get to the White House.
Now he said also that um people haven't been talking about health care, which I'm sure he's happy about.
But ladies and gentlemen, we have been talking about health care, and I have a couple of stories here that I have been holding in reserve for just this purpose.
First story is from uh state-run, uh state-controlled associated press from about uh a little over an hour ago.
Dissension within Democrat ranks over Obama's health care initiative all but paralyzed the House today, typifying just how many political landmines are littering the path to enactment.
The Obama White House figured on some pushback from congressional Republicans, but leaders of his own party struggle to get things moving.
A powerful House Committee chairman threatened to force a floor vote to break the impasse within Democrat ranks, a drastic step that could royal the House.
Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman said that negotiations with fiscally conservative Democrats in his panel cannot continue indefinitely.
All right, now, just now.
State-controlled Associated Press, the head of a group of fiscally conservative Democrats says negotiations with House leaders on health care have collapsed.
Mike Ross, the blue dog head honcho, Democrat Arkansas, heads of the Blue Dog's health care task force, told reporters Friday that after a week of talks, the effort to reach agreement between leadership and conservative to moderate Democrats fell apart.
He said that leaves Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Waxman without the votes to advance the health care bill out of committee.
However, Waxman has threatened to force a floor vote to break the impasse within Democrat ranks on Obama's top domestic priority health care.
So this has not been a smooth week for uh President Nifwong, continuing to have trouble here on all kinds of fronts.
Uh he has now left the White House briefing room and turned it over to the smartest, the most well-equipped uh best ever.
Uh White House press spokesman Robert Gibbs.
We have to take a brief time out.
We'll do that and I'll come back right after this.
Don't go away.
We haven't talked about this today, but I'm gonna bring it up before we get out of here.
A lot of states and uh uh a lot of states are gonna raise the minimum wage today.
More job killing in the U.S. economy.
Heritage Foundation, and I got this at AskHeritage.org.
I get folks, I have to tell you, uh it is a daily routine.
It's part of the show prep roster now, the uh AskHeritage.org is just amazing what all is available at what you can ask, what you can learn, what you can find out.
These people, the smartest people inside the beltway, the most reliable people inside the beltway.
Uh these are scholars, some of them are wonks, but they uh they're just right on the money, and they the things that they publish are understandable, uh, and they're influential.
They just it's just a uh a great, great thing they've done in making their work available to the public.
You know, in the old days, the Heritage Foundation uh they dealt with other think tanks and uh members of Congress, lobbying groups, and so forth, but but now they're making the work available to the public, uh selecting input from the public.
All you have to do is join Askheritage.org.
It's a 25 bucks, and that's the website, AskHeritage.org.
Now, one of the things I found here today, um, according to the United States Department of Labor, the nation's unemployment rate already risen to nine and a half to per 9.5%.
I'm going fast here because time is dwindling, and the uh administration itself is predicting 10% or more.
Federal Reserve is predicting unemployment could stay above 10% for a long time.
Jobless recovery.
That's I don't know how you have a recovery without jobs, but that's what they're saying.
So you would think that the Obama administration would do everything in their power to stop federal government policies from causing even more job losses, but you would be wrong.
Today, the Obama administration is not just allowing but celebrating a job and opportunity killing raise in the federal minimum wage.
Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis told the USA today today the federally mandated raise to 725 per hour will create extra disposable income that comes to about a hundred and twenty dollars a month, not when they get laid off.
Solis expects workers to spend much of that cash in their local we're talking 725 an hour.
It's not enough to improve anybody's life.
It's just enough to cause them to lose their job in this economy.
Where does Celise think this extra $120 a month is going to come from to pay each minimum wage employee?
She think it falls from the skies, grows on trees.
I must answer the Heritage Foundation's question here.
They print it.
In Washington, but they can't anywhere else.
In the real world, when governments force firms to pay some workers more money, it has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere usually is lost jobs, lost opportunity.
People end up getting fired.
They're just they're not bottomless pits of money in small businesses not being used, especially in an economic climate like this.
So minimum wage going up, they're celebrating.
Oh, it's more disposable income for our fitent.
You know, praising the minimum wage and an even an increase in it is tantamount to thinking you're doing something good for a homeless person, giving him a shopping cart.
But there they are, celebrating it.
But then there's this companion story, ladies and gentlemen, I hold here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers.
And this is from State Controlled The New York Times.
The headline says it all.
Millions wait for delayed jobless checks.
Years of state and federal neglect have hobbled the nation's unemployment system, just as brutal recession has doubled the number of jobless Americans seeking aid in a program that values timeliness above all else.
Decisions involving more than a million applicants have been slowed.
Hundreds of thousands of needy people have waited months for checks.
So we're dealing with unemployment, nine and a half percent.
A government can't cut checks in a timely fashion.
And the same bunch is telling us they can run our health care.
Benefit funds are at dangerous lows even before the recession began.
States are taking on billions in debt.
Sixteen states with exhausted funds are now paying benefits with borrowed cash, and their number could double by the year's end.
California tax returns are IOUs.
I've actually seen one.
The system, the unemployment system, is overwhelmed.
And they want us to believe they can handle 40 million people dumped into a health care insurance program.
Or try eighty million dumped into a health care insurance program.
Josh in Lex Bush, Idaho.
Great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
It's Rex Berg, I hope, but that's okay.
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to talk to you.
My comment, uh, first off, I guess what I'd like to say is currently I don't have health insurance.
With that being said, I have an $8,000 baby bill that comes to my house every other day saying I have to pay for it that I can't afford.
With that said, I am still very strongly against the national health plan that is going on right now.
Let me explain why.
This is a power grab.
This is about control.
It's not about health care.
I lived in England for two and a half years.
Okay, and while I worked there, I saw a lot of things happen.
One of the there are many things, but one of the few things was ladders.
If I took a ladder to a construction site, the foreman would inform me that I couldn't use a ladder because it was against the law now.
Too many people fall off ladders, cost too much for the national health care.
Fast food restaurants.
You go to a fast food restaurant when I was there, you get a decent portion.
Government came out and said, We're too too unhealthy, it's costing too much in our health care.
We have we are not going to be able to do that.
I know that's exactly what's going to happen here.
I've been I've been predicting, but I'm I'm struck by something you said at the beginning of the call.
Every other day you get a bill for $8,000 for a baby.
Yeah, there's every yeah, yeah, some bill, this bill, this bill, that bill, this bill, that bill.
Well, but what but what is there a baby?
Huh?
Is there a baby?
Yeah, there is a baby.
Yeah, he's he's six weeks old.
Six weeks old.
Eight thousand bill.
Every other day you get the bill for it.
Well, you've got different.
Well, I get a bill from the hospital, I get a bill for the hospital.
Oh, I see.
I see a physiologist.
Well, one of the things I want to point out real quick.
