Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It was disgusting and it was reprehensible and it was predictable.
Greetings, my friends, it's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
The office of the President of the United States was demeaned last night.
President Barack Obama gave a uh grossly inappropriate and to me if embarrassing speech, a campaign speech designed or dis uh disguised as a as a big speech to a joint session of Congress.
It was grossly inappropriate in content.
There were lies, falsehoods, distortions.
It was it was embarrassing in tone.
He called his critics liars when his own positions have been proven to be untrue.
Uh it's just like this CNN poll.
That speech last night was a fraud.
It was dishonest.
It demeaned the office of the presidency.
Now, after the speech, CNN and opinion research corporation released a flash poll and said, Wow, look at this.
Two-thirds of the people who watched the speech have changed their mind.
You want to hear who was sampled?
Forty-five percent Democrat, 18% Republican.
That is also fraud.
Passing a poll with a sample like that off as a representative sample of the country is absolutely fraudulent, which is what the entire state-controlled media has become.
Last night was uncomfortable.
Especially how about if you're a parent and you have your children in school this week.
The president's speech to the kids, just as I said, that was to set up last night's speech.
We're being told, and everybody, every kids are being told to look up to this man.
It was an awful speech.
He was petulant, he was childish.
He was a community organizer and agitator.
He lied.
He was divisive.
He attacked me.
He attacked Sarah Palin.
He attacked conservative Republicans in Congress who dare to challenge government-run health care.
He continued to attack tens of millions of Americans who spent the summer attending town hall meetings.
It was crude.
It was disgusting.
The most crude and disgusting performance by any president I have ever seen.
You want a summary of the lies?
He lied about only 5% of Americans being forced to the public option?
Not true.
He lied about the money he would drain from Medicare.
Not true what he said.
He lied about end-of-life decisions, which comes down to rationing.
He lied about coverage for illegal aliens.
On and on and on.
Having attacked and lied throughout this thing.
He then claims he wants to work with Republicans with whom he has not met since April.
He claims to be nonpartisan, above the fray.
Now, Joe Wilson, Congressman South Carolina.
This is what happened at one point during the speech last night.
There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would ensure illegal immigrants.
This too is false.
The reforms, the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegal.
It's not true.
That's uh Joe Wilson, a congressman from uh South the South Carolina freshman.
Uh that was a blatant lie.
I'm gonna tell you something.
I one of the things that's really irritated me all morning and last night was listening to Republicans, even after Wilson has apologized, and I wish he had not.
But he's apologized, and even after he's apologized, members of his own party are all over television denigrating it.
Yeah, it was bad decorum.
Folks, can I tell you what's happening here?
This is not this speech last night and this administration is not your average presidential administration.
This is not a garden party.
This is not a lecture at Harvard or any other university.
We are in the process.
We are in The midst of an administration that is trying to totally tear down the institutions and traditions that have made this country great.
He is lying, President Obama is, from the moment he opens his mouth until he ends the speech.
I was shouting, you're lying throughout the speech at the television.
You're lying.
Yet a lie.
Joe Wilson simply articulated what millions of Americans were saying.
It is that this ain't beanbag.
This is we're we're we're not talking about the uh marquees of uh of Queensbury rules here.
This is not some debating society.
You, you people in the Republican Party, I've heard you, you are accusing this administration and its allies and all the the entire left of dismantling every institution that has defined this country's greatness.
And if you now are going to attack one of your own, Joe Wilson, especially after he's apologized for simply joining the argument.
It's about time somebody said this to Obama.
It's about time Biden got upset.
It's about time Michelle Obama got upset.
It's about time that Nancy Pelosi got upset.
These people get a free reign.
They can sit there and boo George Bush in 2005 all along.
They have Code Pink come into congressional and Senate hearings and disrupt.
They can do their Abu Grab stuff.
And they say they're great citizens.
They are great heroes.
These are great examples.
Remember, dissent was the new definition of patriotism.
But Rush, but Russ, this was a this was a total, this was a total departure from parliamentary decorum and rules.
Don't give me that with all those standing ovations last night, a 35 minute speech stretched out to almost one hour because of the standing O and the applauses and so forth.
Folks, we are in a serious struggle to save our country.
And Joe Wilson voiced what millions of Americans have been saying about this man, Bark Barack Obama for months.
And if we're going to start censuring our own people on our team who are willing to try, then maybe we need new people in the game.
I was I was ecstatic when I heard that last night.
This is serious.
This is not normal everyday politics.
One of the things I'm going to do here shortly, I've got this standard traditional analysis of the speech, but I'm going to translate this speech for you last night, and I'm going to give it to you as if Obama is speaking to you.
In addition to the standard line by line analysis.
I mean, one of the one of the things he he last night he equated profits with overhead.
Somebody wrote this speech.
Somebody had to put that in the teleprompter.
Somebody vetted the speech.
Profits are equated with overhead.
And somehow we've got to reduce them.
I know he hates profit, and I know he wants to use profit as as a as a weapon against successful people.
But profit is what's left after the overhead and the other expenses.
He's either a blooming idiot or thinks that we are and knows that the state-controlled media is not going to call him out on this kind of thing.
There was another thing last night that I just, I had to laugh.
He is going to cut $500 billion from Medicare, but not from coverage.
No, from fraud and waste.
Well, if he's going to do that, why not do that now?
Why not do that six months ago?
Why not do it today?
Why wait until his bill is paid?
Why wait four years?
But that's not even the most salient point about this.
Stop and think of this.
Barack Obama, the architect of waste, fraud, deficit spending, lying, everything you can think of, says that he is going to use the waste and fraud and abuse in government to pay for more government.
The waste and fraud and abuse in government is going to be used to pay for more government.
I was just stunned last night.
Joe Wilson need not have apologized, and members of his own party need not jump on him now, all this business about decorum.
Either we folks, either we if if if we're serious about the things that we're charging, if we're serious about the things that we're accusing this administration of, then we cannot trash and destroy and discard one of our own.
I mean, finally, somebody in the Republican Party spoke up.
May not have been the best place, but frankly, I don't have a problem at all with what he did because of the serious nature of what we face.
The serious nature of what we're up against.
But for crying out loud, if somebody finally comes along and tries to get in the game, you know a lot of people in that room last night know he's lying through his teeth and wanted to say it, and Joe Wilson finally did.
Let's listen to some audio sound bites of the state-controlled media and Obama Flax calling this kind of heckling unprecedented.
The president was heckled by at least one member of Congress for a time that sounded much more like the British Parliament than a joint session of Congress.
It was sort of unusual to hear one congressman say you.
You lied to the president.
I'd never seen it before in a presidential address, and it was unfortunate.
I have never heard anybody in a presidential speech, be it a State of the Union, somebody yell out lie when the president says something in the speech.
Well, it was the first time for everything, and it happened to be true.
Charlie, it happened to be true.
Here's Vice President Biden, this on Good Morning America today, and uh Diane Sawyer said, uh you you we watched your face at that moment.
You turned to Pelosi.
What what did you say to her?
I was embarrassed.
I was embarrassed for a chamber and a Congress I love.
I served there for 36 years, and I thought it demeaned the institution.
And I thought it sent a signal to every young person out there that uh that was very, very damaging.
But I've no Joe.
He apologized.
Uh I take him at his word that he got caught up in the emotion of the moment.
But the fact is that the assertion the president made is absolutely true.
It will not cover undocumented aliens.
Uh it's simply not true.
It will cover undocumented aliens.
Now it may not specifically say so in the bill, but we have to know that what's coming is amnesty.
They're gonna be made legal.
We're gonna have all of this.
If Obama gets his way, we're gonna legalize 12 to 20 million illegals, and then they're gonna become citizens and they're gonna get coverage.
And they're at the end of the day going to still be illegal.
Regardless of the law and amnesty and everything else, it's coming.
There's no question.
This is the point.
This is precisely what Obama wants to accomplish.
We got new job numbers today.
We got new foreclosure numbers today.
It's through the roof bad.
The crisis that should be addressed by this president last night is the one of his making.
Nearly three million unemployed foreclosures going on.
I mean, he had the audacity to open up last night until people were coming back from the brink.
He had the audacity to lie about the state of the economy and his role in repairing it.
He's in the process of destroying it.
And on purpose, and this is what we know.
And if finally a guy stood up last night and said, You lie.
He ought to be a guidepost, Joe Wilson, for everybody else on our side in dealing with this.
Let's go back to 2005.
It's all unprecedented.
Charlie Gibson never heard anything like this.
Brian Williams never heard anything like this.
State of the Union address, first one of his second term, February 2, 2005.
By the year 2042, the entire system would be exhausted and bankrupt.
If steps are not taken to avert that outcome, the only solutions would be dramatically higher taxes, massive new borrowing, or sudden and severe cuts in Social Security benefits or other government programs.
Got booed in 2004.
What about the decorum there?
What about the uh what what about the the the precious protocol?
Uh and of course, Bush was telling the truth here about Social Security, where he was headed and his uh his attempt to uh reform it.
Same night, same Speech, Ted Koppel reported after the speech said this.
When the president talked about the bankruptcy of Social Security, there were clearly some Democrats on the floor who thought that that was taking it too far, and they did something that uh they booed.
Well, Ted Kobel describing it.
It happened numerous times, and they did something that uh uh was is taking it too far.
Well, Bush wasn't lying about anything, Barack Obama was lying through his teeth last night.
That's taking it too far.
That demeaned the entire chamber.
If you want to talk about demeaning the chamber, the president of the United States demeaned the chamber last night.
He showed up and lied through his teeth.
He was petulant, he was mean spirited, he was angry, he was arrogant, conceited, condescending, but more than anything else.
He lied through his teeth.
And everybody knows it.
Everybody knows it.
Here's John Roberts, cookie cutter anchor at the time working for CBS.
He was the White House correspondent talking about the booze that Bush got in 2005.
It looked more like the British Parliament than uh the United States Congress.
I've never heard the minority party shout at the president during the State of the Union address.
Yeah, never heard it, and who did it?
It was the Democrats, and it wasn't just one voice, it was a whole bunch of them.
See, when they're in power, anything goes, and we're not to tread on it.
They get that it's they have the floor, and nobody else does, and that's it.
Now, this is when the speech is next by now, we gotta go to a break, but this next bite is when the speech started to go.
Well, I think it started to go south from the moment it started.
The first lie about the economy, we're back from the brink.
Foreclosures at an all-time high, teen unemployment at an all-time high, since records have been kept kept, uh, five hundred and sixty thousand more jobs lost.
I mean, I i it it is it's breathtaking.
But listen, this is this is this is when it finally dawned on people that they had to do something in response to the lies.
Improving our health care system only works if everybody does their part.
And while there remains some significant details to be ironed out, I believe.
I believe a broad consensus exists for the aspects of the plan I just outlined.
He doesn't have a plan.
He hasn't presented a plan, and what he claimed last night cannot be found in any plan in the House or the Senate.
He still didn't produce a plan.
More on that when we come back.
Sit tight.
Okay, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, and talent on loan from a god.
This morning on Capitol Hill, Joe Wilson, Republican South Carolina spoke to the press.
Heard from the leadership that they wanted me to contact the White House and state that my statements were inappropriate.
I did.
I'm very grateful uh that the White House, in talking with them, they indicated that uh they appreciated the call and that we needed to have a civil discussion about the health care issues, and I certainly agree with that.
And so I'm uh happy to discuss the health care issues and in particular on the issue, which I think is very important of whether the bill's cover uh would include illegal uh aliens or not.
All right, so the Republican leadership asked him to call a White House and apologize.
That should tell you something.
But he stuck to his guns on Obama's lie on the illegal immigrants.
There were two different amendments uh on the bill which would have uh provided for verification of persons uh having citizenship.
There were almost party-line votes uh on one of the amendments.
Several Democrats actually voted with us.
Also, the Congressional Resource Services has indicated that indeed the bills that are before Congress would include illegal aliens.
And I think this is wrong.
We need to be discussing issues specifically to help the American people, and that would not include illegal aliens.
So he's uh sticking to his guns.
He said the truth.
Here's the thing that's amazing about this.
Here you have a president lying through his teeth from the start of that speech through the end of that speech, and in this speech he's accusing conservatives of lying about his plan.
A plan which does not exist.
This was this was I mean, he wasn't even grounded in reality last night.
There is not one piece of legislation that has anything remotely like what Obama said was in his plan.
He's not going to submit a plan.
The only workable plan right now is the House plan, and nothing that he said is in it.
The House bill contradicts everything Obama claimed last night.
So while he is in the midst of lying about his plan, he is at the same time falsely accusing us of lying about it.
So the question is why is it okay for Obama as President of the United States in a legislative setting setting to come around here and lie through his teeth.
And somehow it's bad form for Joe Wilson to tell the truth in the same setting.
Because the fact of the matter is, Obama was lying.
What Joe Wilson said was true.
And we're harping today on the truth teller.
It ought to be the other way around.
Yes, I'm disgusted now.
I was disgusted last night.
I think I slept disgusted.
So Obama doesn't uh doesn't intend to provide health care to illegal citizens, illegal aliens, huh?
Well, I have a uh piece of legislation here, a summary from when Obama is 1998 when Obama was in the Illinois legislature, provide funding for social services for non-citizens.
It was a bill that he supported.
He co-sponsored, provided funding for social services for non-citizens.
Here's the official summary to establish a grant program to provide financial assistance to states and local governments for the costs of providing health care and educational services to non-citizens, and to provide additional funding for the state criminal alien assistance program.
He did this also as a United States Senator.
Senator Clinton uh uh made the uh introductory remarks on this.
So he's also out there, you know, when he says, for example, uh nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have.
Uh that's very clever, but we've read the bill.
No, nothing will require it.
It's simply going to happen.
Because the private sector cannot compete with an entity that does not have to make a profit.
It's in the House bill.
You change any aspect, including the price of your premium of your current plan, you are automatically disqualified from it, and you are sent to the public plan.
You're sent to the government run option.
Now, you're gonna be coerced.
He says nothing in this plan will require.
The plan will eventually force you there.
He has said it in 2003 and 2007.
We have the audio cookie, get it out of the archives again.
He said it many, many times.
The public option may take 10, 15, 20 years, but that's how we're gonna get there.
A number of Democrats today have said the same thing.
He's lying through his teeth about this.
Now, I I want to I want to translate the speech last night uh in the in the words of Obama.
So what comes next is me speaking as Obama, giving that speech last night what he really meant, because the inherent inconsistency in his position remains.
He says we spend too much on health care, but we need to spend more.
Uh we need to add more people to the system by force if necessary.
We need to expand health care as a matter of law, no exceptions.
We need to compel insurance companies to provide more benefits to anybody and everybody who seeks them, but we spend too much on health care.
One of the reasons is it works.
We all know that it's it's like buying a lawyer.
I mean, the more money you can spend on a lawyer, the better lawyering you get.
More on that as the program unfolds.
My mind is shooting off here in uh rapid fire neuron blasts, and I'm trying to keep this overload I have somewhat organized.
So here is here is how that speech last night, if he were telling the truth, would have gone.
By cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare, which of course is a government-run entitlement program, we'll be able to fund expanded health care without waste fraud and abuse.
And of course, we support Medicare.
It's the Republicans who hate Medicare.
We're only cutting over 500 billion dollars from the already bankrupt program because there are other people apart from our seniors who need health care too.
Everyone has to sacrifice.
Particularly mom and dad, granddad, grandmom, but they won't mind.
That doesn't mean, of course, they're gonna ration care.
We would never do that.
We love our seniors.
These are scare tactics by the special interests who always oppose reform.
No, we're gonna cut Medicare because we support Medicare, and we're gonna cut benefits to seniors because we love our seniors.
Now, what's all this talk about the government taking over health care?
More fear mongering by the special interests.
No, what's gonna happen is that we will oversee the insurance companies to make sure they don't cheat and rip you off.
That's right, the same politicians and bureaucracy that stole trillions from Social Security Trust Fund to pay for ever more spending, and the same politicians and bureaucracy that stole trillions of dollars from the Medicare Trust Fund will use their carefully honed skills and experience to ensure that the private insurance companies treat you fairly.
And what we will do is tell these companies who must be covered, which is anyone who asks to be covered.
Uh, we're gonna tell them what they have to charge, we're gonna tell them that they have to cover pre-existing conditions.
We're gonna tell them what they can't charge.
We're gonna tell them what benefits they have to offer, and if they fail to do exactly what we say, we're gonna have to close them down to protect you.
That doesn't mean, of course, that you have to change your insurance company.
We would never tell you to drop your insurance if you like it.
No, what we're gonna do is put your insurer out of business.
See the difference.
And as you know, we are here to change Washington.
We want to use free market language to massively grow government.
We want to increase competition by destroying it.
We want to grow jobs by killing employment.
Our stimulus recovery is going just as planned.
Real unemployment now at 16.8% and rising.
This is how we save the economy from the brink by killing jobs, killing homeownership, and killing private property, by creating trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars in new debt.
This is how we will create a stable dollar, a prosperous economy.
This is how we will grow businesses, increase homeownership, and so forth.
And if we don't, it's Bush's fault anyway, because I inherited all this.
So don't you understand?
I'm in the process of destroying your country.
I don't like it at all.
I don't like this Constitution.
It wasn't written for me.
I never had a chance to vote for it.
I've been saddled with it, and my people have been saddled with it, and my party's been saddled with it, and we hate this constitution.
This constitution doesn't tell us what we can do to you.
All this constitution says is what you we can't do, uh uh uh what we well, it does tell us what we can't do to you, and we want the Constitution to tell us what we can do.
Not only to you, but for you.
I don't like this at all, and I haven't liked it, and my college professors haven't liked it, and my parents didn't like it, and none of my friends liked it.
Bill Ayers didn't like the Constitution, Jeremiah Wright doesn't like the Constitution, my gang at Acorn doesn't like the Constitution, and I'm gonna fix it.
And I'm doing it right in front of your eyes while I'm telling you the opposite of what I'm doing.
I'm destroying your economy.
I am foreclosing on your house.
I have taken over two of the three big automobile companies.
I'm gonna make sure you can't eventually drive the car you want.
And I'm doing all this to restore the economy so that we never have a down cycle like this.
I'm doing all this to save the planet from climate change.
I'm doing all this so that you will have good jobs and good health care.
You won't have any money unless you turn to me for it.
It's essential that despite talking like a capitalist, that we leave no industry free to actually make profits because profits are the tool of the special interests, who after all don't care about you as much as we do in this administration.
We know what you need better than you do.
We know how to manage your affairs and your finances better than you do.
This is why we've nationalized the banks, the mortgage industry, the student alone industry, and soon the energy companies and the health care industry.
We, after all, aren't driven by the profit motive, we're driven by the public interest.
And we know what's in the public interest better than you do.
That's why it's time to stop all this talk, it's uh stop all this bickering, uh, stop the games and just shut up when I'm speaking and instituting my hope and change agenda.
My agenda is your agenda, whether you know it or not, whether you accept it or not, and it's gonna be forced down your throat whether you want it or not.
Now I've tried very hard to work with Republicans.
My door is always open to them, but they refuse to accept my agenda.
They seek to sabotage real reform and real change and hope.
They keep talking about empowering individuals to make their own health care decisions.
The Republicans keep talking about cutting taxes for middle class families so they can buy their own insurance.
The Republicans keep talking about expanding health savings accounts, much like IRAs and 401ks, so that families can save some of their own money, tax-free to prepare for catastrophic illnesses and increasing competition by enabling insurance companies to compete for business across state lines.
Do you believe that idiocy from the Republicans?
Do you believe that stuff?
Individuals can't be trusted to do the right thing.
We all know that.
People are foolish.
The only thing they should be free to do is make enough money so that we can confiscate 50, 60, 70% of it via taxes.
In fact, this whole nation filled with the notion of uh individual rights and limited government, nothing more than a racist invention of white slaveholders.
And let me repeat this again.
The whole notion of individual rights, limited government, nothing more than a racist invention of white slaveholders, known as the founding fathers.
We know that our founding fathers were racists.
We never agreed to their constitution.
Did you vote for it?
No, it was imposed on us, one generation to the next.
So forget about it, or else our agenda of redistribution of wealth and big centralized government will be obstructed by something as inconsequential as the highest law in the land, which we don't respect, which we didn't vote for, which we think is a sham, which we think is racist, sexist, bigoted, and homophobic.
The first thing I could do if I had a chance and rip the Constitution to shreds.
I know we're not to the point where I can do that yet in front of you.
So I'm going to do it while you can't see me doing it all the while, telling you I support what you support.
Now we need to nationalize the healthcare system as fast as possible, and the reason is that we have so much more hope and change to get to in our agenda before the next election.
We need to get back to cap and trade so we can manage virtually every business and household in the country, so we can begin the long neglected effort to limit and then shrink how much wealth is produced in this nation.
We are 5% of the world's population.
We use 25% of the world's resources.
We are stealing from the poor of the world, and we have done this since our inception.
We are immoral and unjust, and we are imperialists.
As global citizens, we must change our ways.
We must do our fair share to participate in the world's poverty.
We are too rich, and I'm in the process of making sure that will not be said about this country in the future.
The standard of living, when I get through here, will plummet dramatically.
That's only fair.
We need to pay a penalty for usurping so much of the world's resources.
Poverty exists in the rest of the world because of us and our Constitution, which I didn't vote for and I didn't get a chance to vote for, and if I have my say about it, I'm gonna rip it to shreds before I leave this White House.
We must make ourselves poorer.
We must learn to suffer through the misery that other societies impose on themselves.
We're gonna call this going green.
So that you think that we're saving the planet.
But what we're actually doing is making you poorer.
We are going to rob you of your wealth and the opportunity to earn wealth.
Because when we say going green, it conjures images of polar bears and flowing creeks and fields and flowers.
It's time to return to simpler times anyway, agrarian times.
The industrial revolution wasn't all that great anyway.
There was more racism and slavery in the industrial revolution and more pollution and disgusting destruction of the planet.
This is just part of our progressive agenda, an agenda for the modern era.
It's time we move forward into the past.
It is time to make tomorrow our yesterdays.
It is time to surrender yourself to the greater good.
You must make sacrifices.
We are, after all, a community of one.
And I am the one who will lead you to the promised land.
That's what that speech was last night.
That's what's in this man's heart.
That is what's in this man's mind.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
The House Republican leader John Boehner just on television reading from the House Bill the amendment that would provide health care to illegal aliens.
Facts are facts.
They're problematic for Obama.
He believes that the power of his personality and the power of his biography and the power of his teleprompted oratory can overcome the truth.
Well, he's gonna have some trouble.
March of 2007, Service Employees International Union Health Care Forum.
These are Obama's buddies.
This is the word he tells the truth.
These are the people to whom he's honest.
He said last night.
Well, if you like your doctor and you like your insurance plan, you're gonna be able to keep it.
You'll never ever have to give it up.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change coverage of the doctor you have.
Want to know his real intentions?
My commitment is to make sure that we've got universal health care for all Americans by the end of my first term as president.
I would hope that we can set up a system that allows those who can go through their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort.
But I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately.
There's going to be potentially some transition process.
I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out.
But he wants to eliminate employer coverage.
He wants to eliminate private sector coverage.
This is just two years ago, my friends, to his buddies at the Service Employees International Union here back in uh 2003, speaking to more of his buddies at the AFL CIO, a conference while campaigning for the United States Senate.
I happen to be a proponent of single-payer universal health care plan.
A single payer health care plan.
Universal health care plan.
That's what I'd like to see.
We know what he wants.
We know he wants to legalize uh all illegals via amnesty.
We know that he wants them to all have health coverage and health insurance.
And he wants a public option.
He wants single payer government run.
Uh, everything he said last night was to the contrary.
Contrary.
He's j there's no other way to say it.
It was disgusting, it was demeaning, it was insulting to the office of the presidents.
It was fraudulent.
One guy told a truth in that house last night, and that was Joe Wilson.
Grab a quick call, Ron in San Francisco.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
A ditto's rush from one of the millions that was cheering Joe Wilson last night, and one of the millions that are pissed off because he apologized.
Well, it said it was made due.
The Republican leadership should tell you something.
Ask him not just to apologize, but to call the White House and do it.
Yeah, well, I'm just listening to you here, and uh in your the way you're describing Obama.
I I have a different kick.
I thought Obama was nervous last night.
I thought he was nervous as hell.
And he did not sound like a president that I'm used to hearing.
Give uplifting speeches, that's for sure.
No, he didn't.
Yeah, there's a great question we could ask today.
How many people is Obama gonna save today?
And the next question how many people is our health care system going to save today?
Obama's gonna save nobody.
Obama's in the process.
By the way, he lied through his teeth about these two poor house examples he gave of people who had their their mean insurance companies withdrawal companies.
He just told half truths about those.
I got the evidence coming up.
How many people will he save today?
How many people will our health care system save today?
You're exactly right.
There was nothing inspiring.
He couldn't give anywhere near the speech he gave to the school kids last night.
I don't know whether it was a nervous or not.
I I I it was a campaign speech.
It wasn't presidential.
It was insulting.
And I frankly fed up with the President of the United States trashing virtually every aspect of things that make this country successful and great.
Did you see it last night on TV?
Did you watch TV?
Did you hear it on the radio?
What an historic event.
None of us will forget it as long as we live.
History will treasure it for decades.
Derek Jeter, shortstop New York Yankees, tied the career here hit record of Lou Gehrig.
The pride of the Yankees.
That's what people are going to remember from last night.
Barack Obama ignored something major last night, and that is America wants jobs, not changes in health care.
More coming up.
