Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I first offered the possibility last week, and I'm going to repeat it right now.
Barack Obama may indeed, right before our very eyes, be destroying the Democrat Party.
In fact, the whole Democrat Party might be committing suicide.
And the only thing that might be able to save them is if Acorn can rig in up elections in November of 2010.
Now, John Dingle has said the guy in the wheelchair, the son in the wheelchair, town hall meeting, reminded him of the Ku Klux Klan.
So you got Pelosi saying that she sees swastikas out there.
You got Dingell now saying the last time he saw anything like this was the Ku Klux Klan.
And Arlen Specter did a town hall meeting today.
The dead just rocks the boat.
This is one of the things I'm going to play the soundbite for you very quickly here.
A woman read from the bill.
A woman read from the bill about what's going to happen to senior citizens when they reach a certain age and it's no longer worth the investment to keep them alive.
And she's reading from the bill, the House bill.
And Specter says, well, that's just not true.
That's a malicious rumor.
Next question.
She was reading from the bill.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here.
Here's the phone number.
If you want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
And of course, the email address is lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
10.30 this morning, Rasmussen reports support for the congressional health care reform has fallen to a new low.
42% now favor it.
53% oppose it.
Here's the trend.
Two weeks ago, 47 were percent in favor of it.
And six weeks ago, 50% were in favor.
So in six weeks, it's gone from 50 to 45 to 42 to 53.
That's not the only bad news out there.
Other Ras Musson news, the question posed to likely voters was whether they favor a single-payer health care system, single-payer euphemism for socialized medicine.
And that overwhelmingly rejected by the American people in the Ras Musson Point.
Remember, now, Ras Musson does likely voters, not registered, and he does it on the phone.
57 to 32 oppose single-payer government-run health care system.
57 to 32.
The more Obama shows up and the more these Democrats do these town halls, the more support for the whole plan plummets.
What's really interesting, though, is the partisan breakdown.
Most Democrats, according to Ras Musson, 62% do want single-payer, which, ladies and gentlemen, explains why when Democrats are out there among friends, like when Obama's talking to the SEIU as a crowd or the AFL-CIO, it's why he's totally honest with them.
We played the soundbite for the last two programs, 2003, 2007.
Obama, I want a single-payer system.
He says it to the SEIU and the AFL-CIO.
Now, I say we can't get it immediately.
It might take 10 to 15 years, but public option is going to lead us that way.
Barney Frank said the same thing.
Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, a couple of other Democrats.
Of course they want single-payer.
It's what this whole thing is all about.
But the Democrat audiences, 62% favor it, which is why Obama can go to these union crowds and open up and be honest about it.
When they're among friends, they aren't shy about their attention, intention for the government-run option.
The problem is that Americans who aren't Democrats, according to Ras Musson, overwhelmingly reject socialized medicine.
Get this number.
And frankly, I think this is a little low.
Well, no, I don't.
Now it makes sense.
Colin Powell is a titular head of the Republican Party.
I'll accept this number.
87% of Republicans are opposed to single-payer health care.
So that means 13% of the party led by Colin Powell probably in favor of it.
Those who are not affiliated with the party reject single-payer by 63-22.
So they precious independents and Republicans.
63, the independent rejected.
87% of Republicans are opposed to it.
So it's hard for the Democrats to stay consistent here.
They go out and they talk to their union buddies and they open up and they're very honest and they go to these town halls and they have to lie.
They have to lie about it.
Obama's lying about it.
They all lie about it because it would never stand a chance if they told the truth.
The truth is getting out there.
Now, the latest thing is Carlos Watson, PMS, NBC, socialism is the new N-word.
I told you people, and I use the phrase you people affectionately and lovingly.
And I told you during the campaign, we had people call here, Rush, don't you think the election of a black president will sort of get us over the hump on this racist past that we've got?
No, no, no, no.
It's only going to exacerbate.
It's only going to make it worse because all it's going to take is anybody criticizing what he does, and it's going to eventually be called racist.
So Carlos Watson dragging out something they want to get in the template, that the word socialism, socialist is the new N-word.
I'm telling you, you want to hear the soundbite.
Do you want to hear the soundbite?
You want to hear the soundbite?
Forget soundbite number 19.
Hang on just a second.
Let me find this thing.
Number 28, Carlos Watson, yesterday on PMS, NBC.
The word socialist.
You hear from a lot of conservatives these days usually critiquing the president or more broadly Democrats.
And in some of those town hall meetings, including the one that we saw in Missouri recently, where there were jokes made about lynching, et cetera, you start to wonder whether, in fact, the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for, frankly, for some angry, upset birthers and others.
It is stunning to me what has happened to NBC News.
The people that they somehow interview and allow on the air.
I know there's freedom of speech and anybody can have an opinion, but I mean, that is just, frankly, absurd.
But this is where we are.
So the country's not unified, the bottom line is.
But this is an attempt to protect Obama, and it just fulfills the prediction that I said that any criticism, especially any criticism that hits its mark against President Obama is going to be called racist.
This is one of the reasons why the Republicans aren't saying anything.
They're still scared to death of being called racists.
So the Republican Party at large, members of Congress and the Senate who are Republican, they're not responding to these things in kind because they're afraid of being called racist.
Of course, here, ladies and gentlemen, we are fearless.
The mainstream media did not make me, and therefore, despite their best efforts, they can't break me.
Only you can do that.
And the bond of loyalty between you and I is steady, hard, and true.
But here's the thing.
If you criticize the health care plan, forget Carlos Watson for a second, forget the word socialist.
If you criticize the health care plan, you are labeled a racist.
Now, my question to this is why?
Obama does not have a plan.
I keep emphasizing this.
President Obama has not put forth a plan.
All we've got is a House plan.
And the House plan is not Gates' plan.
It's not Skip Gates' plan.
It's not Charles Ogletree's plan.
It's not Reverend Wright's plan.
Probably is Reverend Wright's plan, although we don't.
But it's Henry Waxman's plan.
Henry Waxman and Pelosi put this thing.
Obama, How can you say that criticizing the plan is racist when it's not Obama's, he doesn't have one.
Criticizing this plan is not racism, it's anti-statism.
Now, here is, there's Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris.
Now, no offense, I've met Chuck Norris, and I like Chuck Norris, and Chuck Norris is a good guy who's a little wrong on McCain, but that's in the past.
I met Chuck Norris once and had a great conversation when Chuck Norris, of all people, has a column at townhall.com entitled Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare.
Chuck Norris has done something that nobody at NBC has done.
Chuck Norris has done something that nobody at ABC has done.
Chuck Norris has done something that nobody at CBS has done.
Chuck Norris has done something that nobody at NBC or MSNBC has done.
Chuck Norris has done something that nobody at CNN has done.
He read the bill and he found something in it on page 838 in sections 440 and 1904.
Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the governments coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.
It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House Bill, page 838, under the heading, quote, home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children, close quote.
The programs provided via grants to the states would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.
The bill says the government agents, quote, well-trained and competent staff, close quote, would provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains, modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices and skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development.
All that's in quotes from the bill.
So Chuck Norris, who found something in the bill that no other journalist has found, says, are you kidding me?
With whose parental principles and values?
Their own?
Certain experts from what field and theory of childhood development?
As if there are one-size-fits-all parenting techniques.
Do we really believe they would contextualize and personalize every form of parenting?
Chuck, this isn't the question.
Chuck's making a mistake.
He's accepting the premise and then saying the people coming into the home are not going to be qualified.
What the hell business is it of anybody in the government to come into your home and tell you whether you're raising your kid right or not, or to test to see if you're raising your kid right or not?
I know you rushed that that can't be in the bill.
It just can't be there.
Rush, it can't be there.
This is who statists, authoritarians are.
And any of you fathers out there who've ever had the dreaded knock from social services on your front door because you were thought to be a predator just because you're a man and you got your kids taken away from you, not that hard to believe that this kind of thing would happen.
But the idea that they want to do this, look at the whole point.
The whole point of state-run health care, as I've been trying to point out, is not health care.
It is the regulation and control of every aspect of life.
And you can't understand people can't relate to Americans, fellow Americans, wanting to do this to other Americans.
And that's simply because you don't understand liberals and you don't understand authoritarians and you don't understand the history of the world.
The history of the world is tyranny.
The history of the world is dictatorship.
The history of the world is starvation and famine and poverty.
The history of the world is totalitarianism, dungeons, torture.
That's the history of the world.
That's what makes America so unique.
That's what American exceptionalism is all about.
We weren't and never have been that.
The one place in all of humanity which has never, ever had to emerge from something like that.
We started differently.
And these people showing up at town hall meetings know full well what's at stake here.
It's their liberty and freedom.
So here, Chuck Norris has read the bill.
A woman shows up at Arlen Specter's town hall today.
Now we're about to send back number 19, Mike.
This is in Lebanon County in Pennsylvania.
An audience member had this exchange with Senator Specter.
Senator Spector.
Yes, ma'am.
Number 12.
Section 1233 of the proposed health care plan.
I thought, what could I possibly ask you to make you read this plan?
What it says is, as a 74-year-old man, if you develop cancer, we're pretty much going to write you off because you're no longer a working citizen who will be paying taxes.
What are you going to do about it?
You're here because of the plan we have now.
Well, you're just not right.
Nobody 74 is going to be written off because they have cancer.
That's a vicious, malicious, untrue rumor.
Who's got the next number?
Now, she had the bill, and she had read the...
The bill doesn't specifically say if you're 74 and you get cancer, you're toast.
It describes the scenario by which the government can decide whether or not it's worth the investment to treat you.
And the woman is trying to say, why do I want to give up this kind of control over my life?
Why do I want to give up this responsibility?
Senator Specter says that the example she gave isn't true, but she's reading from the bill.
She's got it there, and he says it's a malicious, and it's not.
Everybody that's read this knows about Section 1233 now.
And as I pointed out yesterday, even Charles Lane of the Washington Post read Section 1233 and said, you don't have to be a right-wing wacko to find this one totally uncomfortable because it mandates all of these end-of-life meetings and counseling sessions with government officials and your doctor to plan your end of care, which, if you're 74 and have cancer, that means the end of life.
People are not stupid.
So you've got this going on.
And by the way, that town hall, there was no raucous behavior.
There were no outrageous people standing up, behaving in an impolite way.
These people were more informed than Senator Specter was.
I have all kinds of sound bites from this and other town meetings.
Now a quick time out.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Don't go away.
There is a tropical depression out there, way, way, way out there.
And the state-controlled media is just praying this thing becomes a hurricane so that they can report on it and distract and ignore, distract attention, ignore the problems President Obama is having with health care.
But I've looked at the tracking models and curves north, at least as of now.
And they don't even have it becoming a hurricane.
They're just wishing and hoping.
Everybody wishing and hoping for a storm to come along, wreak some havoc somewhere to distract everybody.
Now, I've gotten a lot of email since Fox News 6 o'clock show last night, special report with Brett Baer, the Fox All-Stars.
I was dumped on last night by Mort Kondracki and Charles Krauthammer happened to agree.
And I've had a lot of people email me about this, asking what I was going to do about it.
My first instinct was to ignore it.
But I've rethought that, and I do have some comments about it, and I think it's a classic example.
Of inside the Beltway ITIS.
Somehow, no matter how smart you are, no matter how brilliant you are, no matter how often you are right, there's something about living, working, and breathing inside the Beltway that makes you have a perspective or unable. to have a perspective identical to people who are living and working outside that place every day in various parts of the country.
Here's Kondracki first.
Brent Baer said the House Speaker and House Majority Leader wrote an op-ed mort, and this is where Stenny Hoyer and Pelosi called all of you going to town hall meetings and all of us who oppose their health care plan un-American.
Look, it was bad form for the code pink ladies to disrupt congressional hearings and raise a racket against the Iraq war.
It is just as much hooliganism to have these right-wingers or whoever they are barging into these meetings and preventing a reasonable discussion.
And I'm amazed at how chicken the Republican leadership is about saying, look, you guys, calm down, ask tough, probing questions of these congressmen, embarrass them if you like, but don't shut the place down.
I think that the leadership is afraid of Rush Limbaugh, frankly.
Rush Limbaugh is encouraging all this stuff.
I am not encouraging all of this.
And the only incivility that has happened occurred after Obama dispatched the SEIU to places like Melville outside St. Louis and other places.
So these people get it in their template that I'm causing this and that the Republicans are going to blow it.
Here's Krauthammer essentially agreeing with what Kondracki just said.
What's happening is this is causing a backlash.
It's completely unnecessary.
It's shooting yourself in the foot.
If you want to demonstrate, you want to shout, you do it outside carrying signs.
When you walk inside, you ask questions.
This is going to have two effects.
On public opinion, it's going to make people, if anything, rather unsympathetic to those who oppose the bills.
And secondly, it's going to give a great excuse for the Democrats when Congress returns to push a partisan bill with no Republican support and say it's because the opposition is simply oppositionists without any arguments and is acting in an irresponsible way.
This is a disaster and it shouldn't be happening.
A disaster.
It's a disaster.
It's the first time in the Obama administration we have a chance of stopping some of this stuff.
It is this ivory tower.
Let's be polite.
Let's not make them think that we are what they lie about as being all the time.
Let's be civil and let's be quiet.
That's how we got the stimulus bill.
And that's how we got cap and trade pastor of Karja, whatever they've passed in one of the houses.
That's how Obama's gotten away with everything he's got with people sitting down, shutting up, not saying a word out of fear.
We ought to be civil.
We've got to pretend we're at Oxford and we're having a debate about this.
These people showing up at town hall meetings are scared about losing their liberty and freedom.
They ought to be a little up in arms about it.
Hey, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Great to have you with us.
I wonder if the Spectre Town Hall today was civil enough for Mort Kondracki and Charles Krauthammer.
Both those guys, you know, still haven't gotten over the fact that the people stopped amnesty.
They were all for it.
But folks, this is a great illustration of the disconnect that exists between Beltway and outside the Beltway.
This is not the Oxford Debating Society.
We don't have two propositions, and at the end of the day, which one wins doesn't matter.
It's not an academic exercise going on out here.
There's not an effort here to show who's the smartest, most well-behaved person in the room.
This is about saving the United States of America as it was founded, standing up and fighting against the most radical leftist leadership this country has ever had.
And there are people in increasing numbers.
Despite these town halls, Obama's numbers continue to fall.
I don't know where this backlash is.
The backlash is against Obama.
The backlash is against Democrats.
If there's ever a time for people to get a passionate arousal about something, it's this.
And you can hear the questions.
It's not the questioners.
It's not the participants at the town hall that are causing the problems.
It's the members of Congress and the Senate who don't have the answers or who are lying to their constituents.
You know, here's the thing about if I had a plan, if I, let's say I believed in this healthcare plan, just as a hypothetical.
If I really believed in this, I would want meetings.
I would want to talk to people who are dead wrong about it, who've been lied to, been misled.
I'd spend as much time as I had to to convince them how wrong they are and how wonderful the plan is.
And I'd become an expert on it.
If I really believed it, if I loved it, if I thought this country needed it, it'd be my number one cause.
And when I saw this opposition, I'd say these people are getting bad advice.
They're being advised things that are against their best interest.
And I'd be out there and I'd be talking six hours per meeting if I had to.
And I'd be listening, calmly telling them, no, you've been lied to about that.
Here's what's going to happen.
And I'd go to page whatever in the bill to say, see, this is, they can't do any of that.
They can't sell it.
They can't speak passionately about it.
They can talk about it in a sort of detached academic way, philosophical way, but they can't tell you about the bill.
They can't persuade you.
They can't tell you how good it is, how great it is, because they're behind the eight ball.
They're behind the curve.
You are more informed than they are.
And it's got them bugged.
And so when inside the Beltway people, even on our side, start worrying about civility when there hasn't been any incivility.
There hasn't been anything other than constituents wanting to know what the hell is in this bill, what the hell members of Congress intend to do.
What are you planning for us?
Why don't you just leave us alone?
Why do you have to do this?
We don't want this.
And they see no response to that.
They see that, well, no sensitivity to that.
They see this bill being rammed down their throats regardless.
If anything and make them mad, this should be it.
Like I said, sitting idly by and marveling at the elegance of Barack Obama gave us a worthless, destructive, misrepresented stimulus bill, sitting idly by and being civil and showing that we can act in a more polite way than the other side.
We sat back.
We didn't voice any opposition to it.
Well, some of us did, but I mean, you get the drift.
And of course, when we're saddled with this worthless, damaging, destructive piece of crap that is the exact opposite of what it said it was going to do.
It's not about creating jobs.
It's the opposite.
All the bailouts sat around, didn't do anything, told they had to do this or the country won't survive the next 36 hours.
Okay, go ahead and do it.
We trust you.
And then here comes cap and trade.
And here comes Union Card Check.
And then next year, we're back.
They're going to ram amnesty down.
They're not stopping.
And people are saying, stop.
And they're doing so with passion.
And it's not causing any backlash.
It's causing problems to the Democrats.
You've got Pelosi out there saying she's seeing signs with swastikas all over.
We've got Dingell saying he hadn't seen anything like this, the KKK.
You got socialist is now the N-word.
I mean, there is an implosion taking place.
There are people in this country who have been working overtime to inform the American people of what is on tap, what's ahead of them via what's in this legislation.
When people on our side happen to rum their hands and, oh, no, this is looking bad.
This is going to help Obama.
Obama can't help Obama on this.
The more he's out there, the worse it goes, because he doesn't have a bill.
Now, I want to go a couple soundbites here and illustrate for you the euthanasia, the famous now section 1233.
We played the soundbite of Spectre being asked about it today.
He said, Total, it's a malicious lie.
Nothing true in that.
Yesterday, again, on MSNBC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz from down here in South Florida, a member of Congress, was asked the following question.
The disproportionate amount of costs spent by people in the final years and final months of their lives.
Whether or not, how you want to think about that, your thoughts on whether or not those conversations should be addressed head-on by President Obama and other Democrats.
As far as euthanasia, that is the most ridiculous accusation that opponents like Rush Lamba of this plan are trying to soak the fires, get people worked up.
I represent a huge senior citizen population, and obviously any health care plan that I'd be supportive of is going to make sure that we are sensitive about people's health care needs all the way through their lives.
You can be sensitive all you want when you tell them sorry.
You don't get any.
I wonder if she's read it.
Okay, let's go back to the horse's mouth.
On tap, on hand, right?
It's the discussion of euthanasia.
And of course, nobody has said that.
This is what the Democrats are taking this one word, the Obama supporters, oh, euthanasia.
No, it's just it's rationing, and it's right there in the bill, Section 1233.
It's all there.
But let's go back to President Obama himself.
June 24th, ABC, infomercial for Obama in prime time.
Audience member Jane Sturm stands up.
My mother is now over 105, but at age 100, a doctor said to her, I can't do anything more unless you have a pacemaker.
I said, go for it.
She said, go for it.
The specialist said, no, she's too old.
So we went to see another specialist.
The other specialist saw her joy of life and so on.
He said, you know, I'm going to go for it.
I'll put the pacemaker in.
Five years ago, outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who is elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a certain joy of living, a quality of life?
Or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?
Now, let me, before I play Obama's answer, which you've heard, stop and think of what's happening here.
We have an American citizen showing up in the White House at an ABC infomercial asking the President of the United States, sir, are you going to take into account my mother's desire and will to live when doling out health care to her if she's 100 years old?
Now, I can see somebody asking Fidel Castro that question, or Hugo Chavez.
But in America, a citizen shows up and is informed enough to know to ask a question, Mr. President, my mother, what about her will to live?
The question itself is scary enough, but listen to the answer.
I don't think that we can make judgments based on people's spirit.
That'd be a pretty subjective decision to be making.
I think we have to have rules that say that we are going to provide good quality care for all people.
End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we're going to 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 going to help.
Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, how do you interpret that answer?
And who, by the way, is Barack Obama to be making these judgments anyway?
Who is he?
The Constitution doesn't empower the President of the United States to decide who lives and dies.
The Constitution doesn't allow the President to determine who gets health care coverage and who doesn't or treatment.
What?
I'm stoking fears by explaining what he means.
That's right.
You know what?
You may have a point, Sterdley, because according to Mort Kondracki, I should just play this and say, I respectfully disagree with the president and move on and be civil about it.
Well, I'm sorry, the president of the United States just told this mother, this woman, you know, baby, we, whoever we are, we're going to say, just give your mom the pain pill.
Do you know what give your mom the pain pill means, folks?
It means loop her out, let her die, basically unconscious or unaware, because it just isn't going to make sense, maybe.
But we're going to decide that.
We're already deciding it now.
You may be deciding it yourself about your grandmother, you may be deciding it with your doctor.
But the United States government, the president of the United States, is not issuing the guidelines yet.
So I don't know, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, I mean, what's the deal here?
The whole thing about euthanasia is crazy.
When we just had the president of the United States back in June tell a mother, a woman, that it might be better off for her 100-year-old mother to just take a pain pill.
We'll be back.
Half my brain tied behind my back, as always.
Just to make it fair, we go now to El Segundo, California.
Rom, you're up first today.
Very important role, the first caller today plays.
I hope you're up to it.
Thank you, sir.
Super Mecca America's ticket payload 2012 CPAC speech dittos from a lesson both in the state of California, sir, and happy 21st anniversary to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
And one major asset that this Obama administration has given us is shown the conservatives of the conservative movement who the true conservatives are in our party.
Newt Gingrich rejecting your comment that you wanted Obama to fail, saying, oh, we can't have our president fail and all that stuff.
And Colman Powell coming out and rejecting you and all that stuff.
This is the true liberal wing of the Republican Party at work.
When Krauthammer says, oh, we can't be offensive and he can't protest and all that stuff.
This is the softie, the fake Newton wing of the Republican Party.
What's your thought on that?
Well, you're talking things other than Krauthammer and Mort Kondracki yesterday.
When you say about my comment, I hope he fails.
I wasn't surprised I was out on a limb by myself on that.
I mean, this was within, what, two weeks of his immaculation.
And our party and people who want to be leaders in the party, forget the conservative movement, the Republican Party and conservative movement, two different things.
People in our party who have future political aspirations.
Oh, no, God, don't say that.
Oh, of course we want the president to succeed.
And they said this out of fear.
A historical president, first black president, hoping the president fails.
Most people are going to think that means we hope the country fails and we can't hope the country fails.
It's just fear.
It was just cowardice.
I mean, Newt, I've heard him say now that he misread just how radical this man is and his agenda.
But look it, that's what being on the cutting edge of societal evolution is all about.
It's what being a pioneer is all about.
It's what being fearless is all about.
And I think that all conservatives in this country don't need any other examples.
Don't need new examples of who our moderate liberal Republicans are.
I want to dedicate a song, ladies and gentlemen.
Senator Arvin Spector and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is our white comedian Paul Shanklin with the vocal portrayal.
Paul Shanklin, that's a parody of Short People.
Randy Newman, dedicated exclusively here on the EIB network to Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter.
Be right back, folks.
Don't go anywhere.
Hey, hey, Snardly, we're not in the break yet.
Focus on me, not the reporter.
Question.
This healthcare business, me putting a swastika on the website, is this the most consistent, vicious, mean attack that they've launched against me in the media in all of 21 years?
It's not.
Is it close?
It's up there.
It's up there in the top five.
I have been.
I'm being attacked.
I'm being mocked.
I'm being denounced.
But you know what?
You know the reason?
It's not about health care.
And it's not about swastikas.
It's not about Pelosi and her swastikas and me saying, okay, you want to see a swastika?
Look at Obama's healthcare loan.
It's not about that.
It's about defending Obama.
I have to be attacked in order to defend Obama.
That's what is happening.
They are on defense, and we intend to keep them there.
All right, brief top of the hour.
