Time Text
And greetings to you and welcome back, Rush Limboy.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And when you're right, as often as I am, there's really nothing much more fun than that.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program 800 282-2882, the email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
I was just in Snurdley's office.
And he's got his three TV monitors on in there, and we're watching PMS NBC and uh Andrea Mitchell, anything is interviewing an NBC info babe, uh Ann Thompson, and they're somewhere out there.
Are they on Cape Cod or Messiah Cape Cod because Eunice Shriver passed away, and uh they're going through the usual uh remembrances and so forth, and Ann Thompson is just clearly wishing she were a member of the Kennedy family.
And going on and on, it's treating it like cameloged.
Jack Kennedy built a shoreline here back in 1961.
And Snurdly looks up at me amidst bites of vegetarian falafel or whatever the hell it is.
He says, you know, what are these people going to have to talk about when the Kennedys are gone?
When Ted Kennedy passes away, who are they gonna lionize?
Who the hell are they going to have anybody for crying out loud?
That's all they do.
They can't stop lionizing the Kennedys.
He said it'll probably, I said certainly it'll probably go back to Clinton.
Then I caught myself, they can't go back to Clinton Clinton and have a home.
They can't go anywhere to talk about Clinton is a renter.
He doesn't have a home.
There's no homestead, there's no Clinton compound, the Clinton, there's a Clinton concubine wherever he happens to be, but there's no Clinton home.
You know, there's no way, I mean, you got the library and massage parlor in Little Rock, but you got Hillary.
Oh, have you s this this have di Hillary's over there in Africa?
Still over there.
I wonder if she's gonna do something about the brother that lives in the hut.
Tina Brown on her website, the Daily Beast, has a sympathetic piece about Hillary today.
We've got to try to understand it.
She's been on the road for a week now or two weeks or whatever.
She's away from home.
She feels fat.
Tina Brexit feels fat.
Now, why would why would one woman write that about another woman, particularly Hillary?
And I I know that I haven't seen the video.
Frankly, I hate computer videos.
I don't know why, maybe because I can't hear them.
Oh, you can feel fat if you're not fat, I think.
Uh yeah, you just tighten your belt too tight.
Or um what there's a number of ways you can feel fat.
But you know, wait a minute.
HR is saying, how do you feel fat if you're not fat?
Are you saying Hillary's not fat?
Is that you're not gonna go so far as to say she's not fat, or you were not gonna go so far as say she is fat.
Do fat people no, fat people never feel thin.
There's no no way.
But she feels fat.
What would inspire one woman to say that about another one?
Maybe she's seen the video.
I haven't seen the video, but people why is she like fondling herself and doing all this uh loun lounging lounging back on the chair?
She have an adult beverage in her hand in this picture.
She wish she wearing a pantsuit.
What the hell else does she wear?
But what what does she wear a pantsuit?
Does she breathe?
Well, anyway, she feels fat.
It's just so horrible for Hillary out there.
Uh plus Obama's sending her these places that matters Zilch zero nada to U.S. foreign policy.
She's getting questions of what are you what is your husband think about this or that?
She's blowing up.
Funny little story here from the New York Post.
You know the story the other day that the Chevrolet vault is gonna get something like 230 miles to the gallon.
Adam Victor in the New York Post.
Sorry, the new Chevy vault does not promise a green revolution.
In fact, the car could trigger a whole new wave of blackouts.
Chevrolet notes that the key to this high mileage performance to the tune of 230 miles per gallon is for a volt driver to plug into the electric grid at least once each day to get 40 miles of electric-only petroleum-free driving.
Forty miles on the on the battery, but you plug it in every day to do that in order to get up to 230 miles per gallon.
But it won't be petroleum free in much of the country.
A lot of utilities use heavy fuel oil to generate that electricity, not to mention coal.
At current electricity production levels, these plants emit as much as hundreds of thousands of cars on the road every day.
So if a few thousand well-meaning dupes plug a few thousand new Chevy vaults into electrical outlets, especially in urban centers, you could actually add millions of pounds of dangerous, dirty, unregulated pollution and carbon into the air, and you could cause the grid to black out with uh with the uh added demand for electricity.
If the electricity grid can't handle the added load, then look out.
And of course, this only stands to reason.
Okay, we got an electric car.
Yeah, no gasoline, no petroleum, less pollution.
Plug it in.
What powers the plug?
What powers the socket?
Uh these and dupes is the right word.
All right, to the audio sound bites.
I know you've been eagerly waiting.
Here is a portion of a report of WABC TV Channel 7 in New York, eyeball news, the reporter Dave Evans out there at New Jersey representative Steve Rothman's town hall meeting.
And you will hear a guy in here.
His name is Steve Rubinski, is an audience member.
There was a feeling of exasperation at all the rhetoric, especially how some conservatives have used Nazi symbolism in blasting Obama's plan.
I am appalled as being a Jew that the N-word is racially inflammatory, but Rush Limbo can get on the radio and all over and use Nazism and Nazi and Hitler.
This man went on saying limball shouldn't be allowed on the airwaves, to which conservatives here took exception.
Let's keep it down.
Now, let's remember, for whatever it's worth.
How many days is this?
Nancy Pelosi said those of us showing up at town hall meetings were showing up with swastikas, as she said, meaning we're Nazis.
We were called Nazis.
At that point, I said, all right, let's do a comparison between the national socialism of Germany, which is what Nazism is, the National Socialism of Germany, and the Obama health care plan, and find out if there are any similarities.
And by golly, by gosh, there are there are gazillions of similarities between national socialism in Germany and Obama's health care plan.
So, Mr. Rubinsky, I have also said I'm not saying Obama's Hitler.
I went into a big diatribe yesterday.
You think of Nazism, we think of genocide.
And when we think of that, so we can't talk about any other aspect of Nazism, which was national socialism.
Nobody's saying that this government is genocidal.
Nobody is saying that nobody is saying that Obama is Hitler.
What we're saying is that this health care plan mirrors Nazi Germany's.
And the Nazi Germany health care plan was the foundation from which they built the rest of their socialist paradise.
If you want to call it that.
So you have an uninformed Democrat showing up at a Democrat town hall meeting, guy named Steve Rubinski, thinking that I am out there calling Obama a Nazi and calling him Hitler when it is us that we're called Nazis.
Fox 5 in New York also covered this event.
Uh, a Steve Rothman.
Was it Steve Rothman?
No, no, no.
Uh this is, I thought it was the same thing, but it was last night in New York City on Fox 5, 10 o'clock news.
This is a montage of the reporter Mike Gilliam's report on a yeah, it is another Rothman Town Hall meeting in Rutherford, New Jersey.
Outside of Rutherford's borough hall, Linda LaRouches people with anti-Obama posters depicting the president as a Nazi.
Inside rowdy debate.
Somebody might lose that shot.
What are you going to do about it?
Rush Robot tells us what the feat.
And he tells us what to do.
Your host being invoked now by name at Democrat town hall meetings in New Jersey.
By the way, the LaRouchies...
They do have a bunch of signs and post.
The LaRu these people.
You people know who Lyndon LaRouche is.
I tell you when I first saw Lyndon LaRouche.
Um, this was got to be eighty.
I'm trying to think, was I living in Kansas City when I saw this?
Lyndon Roosh bought time on a Sunday night NBC before a Tuesday presidential election.
And I'd never heard of this guy.
And I'm watching this.
I am stunned.
Yeah, no, this was this is mid-this might have been the 76th election.
Might have been the 76th presidential election.
I'm I'm watching TV on Sunday night, and NBC sold a half hour to this guy.
And he's going on and on about this worldwide cabal of David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger.
Uh and uh and all the and and and Brzezinski and so forth.
And uh how how how can we stop all this?
He said, vote for me.
And I'm I'm looking at a genuine lunatic.
I'm watching this guy, and and and the LaRouchis now are so far left wing.
The LaRouchis are not right wing guys.
The Queen of England was part of this worldwide conspiracy.
Head of a worldwide drug cartel.
Was the head of a worldwide drug cartel.
And so the LaRouches are out there to getting involved in this.
LaRouche isn't even around anymore, I don't think.
Why, he was in jail for a lot of years, and I don't know if you know if he's uh still alive.
I've now once said Ray Davies and the Kinks had kicked the bucket, and I was wrong about that.
So LaRouche may be still looking down at grass rather than up at it.
But um, regardless, these guys.
Point is you have them on the run out there, folks.
You have these people on the run.
A question from the program observer.
Yes, what is it?
Mm-hmm.
That's right.
There are there are enough Democrats in New Jersey, not in jail or brought up on charges to conduct town hall meetings.
Correct, Snerdley.
They're still very much alive, Ray Davies and a kinks here.
Uh the title of the tune is Come Dancing in our bumper rotation.
You gotta hear this.
The Democrats are just they cannot talk about health care.
They cannot talk about the issues.
Everybody knows the abomination the bill is.
So one of the plays in the playbook is to demonize somebody, and once again they're back to demonizing me, trying to make the issue about me.
Last night Wolf Blitzer sat in for Larry King on Larry King Alive.
The forehead, Paul Bagala is a guest, along with Republican strategist Sherry Jacobis.
And blitzer said, there's uh always gonna be a crazy lunatic fringe out there.
Responsible Republicans, they're not calling these crazies down.
There are the Republicans standing up and saying, No, stop the threats, stop calling people not Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party.
He is the unchallenged, self-proclaimed leader of the Republican.
You know, Crush is not the leader of the Captain.
The responsible Republicans don't have the courage to stand up to them, to stand up to Limbaugh, to stand up to the guy who brought a gun to the president's rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
These guys, this is hilarious, folks.
I just loved it.
They are coming unglued.
They are unhinged.
They're gonna be long gone.
I will still be here.
Did sound like Obama was Obama was crying, because this is him soon.
That is uh white comedian Paul Shanklin and a parody of uh Randy Newman's short people.
The vocal portrayal there by President Obama and old people.
Okay, back to the phones to Austin, Texas next.
Gerald, hello, sir.
Thanks for your patience.
I'm glad you waited.
Hi.
Hi, how are you doing, Rush?
Very well, sir, McCall.
You bet.
You are a master of critical thinking.
Thank you very much, sir.
I appreciate that.
I um I wanted to talk about uh the fact that right now the greatest chance of a of a compromise bill uh in the Senate does appear to be in the Senate Finance Committee.
And there are five Republicans in that committee that uh they have a habit of uh compromising with the Democrats.
And I see a lot of people at the town Hall meetings.
Protesting against the Democrats.
I'm not hearing a lot of people protesting against these Republicans.
Well, are the who are name these five Republicans in the Senate?
I will do that.
Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
Well, now, Grassley, Grassley is being pretty vociferous against this.
That's true.
That is true.
Olympia Snow, Susan Collins of Maine.
Yeah, that's always a problem there.
Yep.
Michael Lenzi of Wyoming and Lindsay Graham of uh South Carolina.
Yeah, Gramnesty is a problem.
He's uh I don't know what Gramnesty's objective is here.
Um, but are these people having town meetings?
That is a good question.
I haven't seen a Gramnesty town meeting.
I'm not saying they haven't.
I just haven't seen any.
But if uh if as a result of your call today, if any of them do have town meetings about this, people will show up.
Absolutely.
And on the 22nd, there's a national recess rally.
Um, you know, they could make people can make their voices hurt then as well.
That's not I know it's it's just not these five Republicans in the Senate.
We have to figure, look, even if these five Republicans go along with it, doesn't matter because the Republicans don't have the votes to stop this in the Senate.
And we're talking about using reconciliation, which only requires 51 votes, which is a typical ethics violation of Harry Reid has said they're thinking about doing.
So the Republicans in the Senate are really not where the action is on this, because they can get 60 or 51 votes without them.
It's the blue dog Democrats.
It's in the House of Representatives where this thing lives or dies.
It's these blue dogs.
I I've been I've been harping on this for the past uh couple of weeks, and they're gonna they're gonna have to decide how they want to be seen by their constituents.
Do they want to be seen as far left, out of controlled, wild spending radicals, no different than Barack Obama, or do they want to be seen as the fiscal conservatives that their voters think they are?
And that's gonna be their question.
Their question they're gonna ask themselves is do I succumb to the threats of Rahm Emanuel and Pelosi in exchange for re-election assistance and maybe some vote fraud assistance from Acorn?
Or do I remain true to my constituents and what I promised them I would do when I came here to represent them, and that is be fiscally responsible and conservative.
And with Rahman, these guys in there saying, you go ahead.
You go ahead and be responsible to your constituents, and uh we'll find somebody run against you, and we'll make sure you lose in the primary.
Or you can vote with us.
Your constituents can hate you, but we'll protect you from them.
Because remember, we don't care about our constituents either.
This isn't about constituents.
This is about President Obama and what he wants.
And if you help Obama get what he wants, which is a monument to himself, we will take care of you.
But you better never betray us.
Or it's Fort Marcy Park.
figuratively speaking.
This is the question that the blue dog Democrats are going to have to decide.
A caller just a minute ago identified Chuck Grassley as a potential problem Republican in the Senate on health care.
Here's Grassley.
He was at a uh Wintersect Iowa health care town hall meeting, and this is it's a very short bite.
It's about uh eight seconds, but this is what he said about Obamacare.
You have every right to fear.
We should not have a government program that determines you're gonna pull the plug on grandma.
Well, you have a right to fear, he said we should not have a government program that determines if they're gonna pull a plug on grandma, which is exactly what we're gonna have.
Now, Ben Cardin, another town hall meeting in Hagerstown yesterday, and a woman audience member stood up.
What are you gonna do to restore trust and faith in the American people that you know what you're doing, and that you're not putting us and our children and grandchildren in debt over health care, cap and trade, and creating uh the illegals to get out of our country.
What are you gonna do?
We're gonna have it.
There's gonna be some disagreement in this room, and I understand that.
I I think that the Obama administration is already started to restore trust and health care by the these guys.
Of all the things to say, Obama's already started to restore trust and health care.
The numbers continue to plummet.
It's it don't you it's like Claire McCaskabing asked yesterday, don't you trust me?
No!
And it went on and on and on.
You gotta understand.
I think Obama's already started to restore trust in health care, but Scott Rasmussen.
Cookie just flashed me here.
Scott Rasmussen just posted this on Facebook.
44, 44% trust the Republicans more than Democrats at 41% on health care.
The public trusts Republicans 44 to 41% over Democrats on health care.
That's the first time that the Republicans have ever had an edge on health care.
No, it's not yet time to get giddy.
Everybody's keeping is it time to get you get giddy when we beat it back when it doesn't happen, when it's stopped.
Don't get giddy.
Start getting giddy.
Giddiness is for when it's over.
Hang in there with me, folks.
I mean, this is getting good.
It's getting better.
Ben Cardin.
I think Obama started to restore trust and health care, but place blows up.
Now let's go back down to uh CNN in Georgia.
Uh, the uh David Scott, this uh representative that uh trashed the doctor that stood up and asked him a question, and uh with some Democrat lackey went out and painted a swastika, as Pelosi says on his office sign.
Rick Sanchez, the hapless actor, uh anchor, well, what's the difference?
Uh, says to um David Scott, is it representative of uh what's going on in this country with this uh healthcare debate?
You hear the comments, I want my America back, I want my nation back.
That's the question back from home.
It means, well, somebody must have taken it from you.
And these cries were not being made last year, didn't you?
You think that do you think that comment, I want my America back, is inherently racist?
No, I don't.
I think what it admitted Well, well, I think I think it's it's uh it's a reflection of a lot of things within that that you have to dissect.
Racist?
I want my country back is racist.
I love being right, but it's this this still ticks me off.
I predicted this.
Any criticism of Obama when things start going bad is gonna be racist.
And of course, you can count on some of these template, narrow-minded television people who do not have talking about critical thinking.
They don't even have any curiosity to find anything out outside the template.
What is it now, Sturdley?
I'm trying to host the show here.
If you would leave you, would you leave the show to me, snurdly?
This would all be handled.
So I'm sitting here, I am making a point, a brilliant point about the brain-deadness of most television anchors.
Is it racist to say you want your country back?
He's snurdily screaming at me, what do you mean, Howard Dean?
Howard Dean, how would I said, if you just let me run the show?
Here is Howard Dean.
We are taking our country back piece by piece from the Rush limbos.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag no longer represents solely Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag never again is the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country, so that the flag of the United States is no longer the sole property of Rush Limbo.
This country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
Move over.
I want my country back again because the flag of this country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back the flag, so it is no longer belongs solely to Rush Limbaugh.
Howard Dean, a montage there from the 2004 Democrat primaries.
So this idiot Congressman Scott from Georgia, and no Ms. Sanchez, it's not racist to call him an idiot.
It's accurate.
He's an idiot.
They weren't saying this a year ago.
A lot of us were saying we don't want to lose our country.
We want him to fail.
But the whole notion take the country back is not new.
And it doesn't indicate anything and is nothing that we have to dissect.
Back to the phones.
Vince in Columbus, Ohio.
Hello, sir.
You're on the EIB network.
Rush, I just wanted to send a direct message to all the goons in the White House that they can put Vince Tornado in Columbus, Ohio, on this sniff list because I'm sick and tired of this bully pulpit.
You wouldn't believe what we saw out there in Columbus, the liberal astro turf with their pre-made signs from organizing for America out there trying to shout us down.
But we came out there, we had our signs, we put them together with what we could.
We took our Sharpies, we put them on notebook paper, we ran out there with the truth, man.
We are fighting out there.
This was at a Sherrod Brown meeting?
Yes, sir, in Columbus.
Well what tell me what happened.
What what happened to the Sher Did the Did you get uh assaulted by some union thugs or something?
No, they're just the organizing for America thugs right there.
I didn't see any SEIU thugs, but they had been more than welcome to talk to me.
But they just the event was terrible.
I mean, only the organizing for America and the Sherry Brown email people were on this list to know that this event was going on.
My mom called at 9 30 in the morning and looked on the website at 9 30 in the morning, as did many other people, and there was nothing on the website or and and the office lied to us.
They said, hey, there's no event going on, but there was.
They lied to us.
They they put on a a Obama campaign health care rally on our taxpayer dollars on our Ohio and taxpayer dollars.
And tried to make it look like a genuine town hall.
Yeah, yeah.
It's it's such a cop, man.
Of course it's a everything is fake.
Everything is staged.
They have to send out memos to these people to tell them where to show up and what to where and what time.
And then they have to tell them what to say.
And here are the signs you have to make.
It's always been ginned up and fake.
That's the reason they're losing this is because people like you are genuine.
You're not organized.
You're just showing up because you're ticked off.
Yeah, we have a legitimate concern for the future of America, and here we have these paid off union thugs and these brainwashed goons from organizing for America thinking they can shut us up.
But no, they're dead wrong.
That's right.
Organ organized for America, by the way, is an Obama White House website.
So the White House is sending out the thugs, or whatever you want to call them, the rent a mob.
Doesn't matter.
Vince, thanks much.
Frank in Overland Park, Kansas, where I used to live in a tiny little shack.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How are you doing?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, I I myself and my family own some restaurants in the state of Utah.
We live in Kansas, and the bottom line is as a small time franchisee with the health care bill uh version in the Congress right now.
Our concern is, at least our understanding is if we had to all of a sudden start paying a hundred percent of all of our employees' insurance, that would pretty much put us under and possibly put us out of business.
So I want to make sure, in your opinion, do we do we have that assessment correct?
Is that what the health insurance bill would make us do in terms of pay a hundred percent of our all our employees?
You would have either that or pay a fine levied against you by the IRS.
The the eight percent of your payroll?
Yeah.
Minimum minimum eight percent, minimum eight percent of your payroll.
Minimum.
Yeah.
See, we've we've had prior to the election, we had five years of ten percent year over year growth, which was outstanding.
And then as soon as we hit the election and go uh finishing 08, we dropped to 3% growth, and now we're down twenty percent.
And so now our stores are running marginal, and we're our fear is if this goes through, we're done.
Uh it's in you know, uh, it's entirely possible.
If it goes through as is, it's entirely possible that that that would be the unless you offload those people to public option.
Which is what they want you to do.
You offload your employees to the public option, they get their insurance and government takes care of it, and then they're they're they're off your back.
See, this is the trick they're using to get people on the public option.
They know you'd go out of business.
They know you're not gonna pay eight percent, they know you're not gonna do all this, so you'll just cancel your own health insurance and bamboo, they are on Obamacare.
Which would then put our our immediate family on the Obamacare, so to speak as well.
Yeah, if you're on the company plan, absolutely.
Exactly.
You I got a question.
You're this is great illustration of how this is private insurance is going to be lost.
Uh and this, by the way, was discovered by the Duke University Classics professor who read the plan.
We went through the analysis yesterday.
If you if you want to uh if you want to see his article and the way we treated it, it's Rush Limbaugh.com.
We've got it highlighted there on the home page.
I'll check it out.
Do that.
Now I got a question for you.
Okay.
This is just a question of logistics.
Curiosity.
You own a chain of restaurants in Utah and you live in Overland Park.
Comes down to mom and dad starting the franchises out of Utah, but they were originally from Kansas, and that's where they wanted to be.
All right, so how often do you visit the stores in Utah?
Uh monthly to every other month.
Really?
So you got a good people you trust to run these things.
Overall, yes.
I mean, we're we're not unlike any other any other business where you know you're always trying to improve your clientele, or not your clientele, but your personnel.
Right.
And a restaurant business got a lot of theft.
Yes.
You have to factor that out as a cost of doing business.
Is it uh uh white tablecloth kind of restaurants?
Uh no, it's more fast casual.
Oh, okay.
Well, excellent.
Do you serve adult beverages?
In some we do, and some we don't.
Well, there's more theft.
To account for.
All right.
Well, look, I appreciate the call, Frank.
Thanks much, and best of luck to you.
Thanks, Russ.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Okay, uh, diligent research has uh uncovered the fact that Lyndon LaRouche is still alive.
He was gotten out of jail.
He was released from jail by his lawyers, lawyer got him out, Ramsey Clark, got him out of jail in 1994.
Uh, Lyndon LaRouche is still alive and kicking.
Now, also went to the uh LaRouche website.
Do the Google search there.
You can ww.larouchepub.com.com.
Sorry, and you find out that LaRouche, his organization hit and him accused Bush of being Hitler.
This organization, the Rushis, accuse everybody of being Hitler.
Listen, some of these headlines.
August 17, 2007.
Bush signed Spy Bill in spirit of Hitler's Third Reich.
Bush signed Spybill in spirit of Hitler's Third Reich.
It appears twice.
Ws grandpa and great grandpa helped put Adolf Hitler into office.
Now I didn't see the state controlled media upset about LaRouche when he was accusing not only Bush of being Hitler, but Bush's family of putting Hitler into office.
The fascists versus FDR, then and now, Bush and Hitler, what the torture memos reveal.
The British Empire's fascism stalks America.
These are some of the headlines from the LaRouche website.
So the Bush family, it was Joe Kennedy for crying out loud that supported Adolf Hitler.
So you people to me that you're selected like Bagawa.
Like Bigala getting all over me.
Forehead, let me tell you something.
It is your party, Paul, the Democrat Party, that supported slavery and segregation.
Bull Connor was a Democrat.
Lester Maddox was a Democrat.
All those Southern governors, George Wallace, they were Democrats, Paul.
The segregationists.
It was who was Clinton's big I'm a metal block, the guy of Markansaw that was Clinton's mentor and uh and uh and yeah, J. William Fulbright, big time segregationist.
The Kennedy Patriarch Joe Kennedy, who supported Hitler, not the Bush family.
The Dean of the Senate, Robert Sheets Bird, was a grand cleague of the Ku Klux Klan.
Those are your friends, Bagala, your allies, your party.
And you've yet to apologize for any of it.
Racist segregationists, slavery supporters, Hitler supporters, members of the Klan for crying out loud, in your own party.
Those were your governors that stood in the schoolhouse doors, Bagala.
Those were your sheriffs who unleashed the dogs against the protesters in the fire hoses.
And by the way, Mr. Bigalit was your Supreme Court Justice, Hugo Black, who represented the Klan for several years in Alabama.
Who was FDR's first appointment to the Supreme Court?
You Democrats, uh Bogala, you guys, you need to come to grips with your own past forehead.
Because you got the fingerprints of slavery, Nazism, segregation.
All over the place.
All over this country.
Democrat fingerprints everywhere.
Joe Kennedy.
FDR had to get him to hell out of Great Britain as the ambassador because he was a sympathizer of the Nazis.
Not their policies.
It was all money, but he was still a sympathizer.
It was your secret or speaker of the House running and calling over half this country Nazis.
Who's next on this show?
We have time, yes.
Mark in Houston.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Yes, Russ.
Uh, in the world of blue-collar jobs, there's two rather enviable jobs to land.
One of them is a union job, you know, with good pay and good benefits.
The other is a government job, be it federal, state, local, park rangers, police firemen, city managers.
Those people, I believe, are at the highest risk for being forced into this health care system if it passes.
But the one interesting thing is when the government people get these jobs, they always say, well, the pay's not good, but the benefits are great.
And that's almost universal across this country about a county job or a state job or whatever.
I'm thinking that those guys are gonna be forced into this program through this the federal federal federal government's powers and abilities to be able to possible.
