Time Text
Amidst billowing clouds of fragrant aromatic first and secondhand premium cigar smoke Everybody's sending me emails.
What are you smoking?
Doesn't matter folks.
It's a premium cigar.
It's a Monte Cristo A if you want to know It's great to have you with us the telephone number if you want to join us rush limbo 800-282-2882 and the email address LRushbo at eibnet.com You know, I'm beginning to think folks I am the only radio host in the country that doesn't care about this Roman Polanski story, but I'm starting there.
Some things about it now are starting to get fascinating.
If you look at who's signing petitions to come out and free the guy, Woody Allen and some other pervert have signed.
Here's the thing.
You know, we've been covering in the past week, we've had a couple stories about the unhappiness of women, the unhappiness of women in this country.
The Huffington Puffington Post has now got a new columnist exploring the phenomenon of the unhappy woman.
And why is this?
Well, let me ask you, if you are a liberal woman and you look at this Polanski story, what in the world do you see?
You see a liberal guy who drugs and rapes a 13-year-old.
Then you see liberal men allowed and encouraged by other liberal men and women to hate women enough to rape and brutalize and objectify them, regardless of their age and station in life.
And then when they're held accountable by the law, these same liberal men and women that you've always idolized come out and defend the rapist.
No wonder women are sad, unhappy, and depressed and can't figure this out.
This is sick stuff.
I mean, Roman Polanski, I couldn't care less about, but this incident has amazing cultural teaching moments in it, which is why I mentioned it.
I mentioned the first hour.
This healthcare remrod, we're all going to become slaves to the government in every aspect of our lives.
And I want to give you an example.
Irving Township, Michigan, the state of Michigan has told a Michigan mother that she's running illegal daycare by watching her neighbor's kids before school every day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood's children.
Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow mothers, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for scruple.
Regulators who oversee child care don't see it as charity.
Days after the start of the new scruple year, Snyder got a letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services warning that if she continued, she'd be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed daycare centers.
She said, I was freaked out.
I was blown away.
I got on the phone immediately.
I called my husband.
I called all the girls.
It's the mothers whose kids that she watches.
Every one of them.
What do you bet this woman voted for Obama?
Wild guess here.
What do you bet?
She voted for Obama.
Snyder's predicament has led to a debate in Michigan about whether a law that says no one may care for unrelated children in their home for more than four weeks every count of the year unless they are licensed needs to be changed.
It also has irked parents who say they depend on these friendly offers to help them balance work and balance.
How do these people in Michigan think this thing ever got done in the first place?
I don't know about you growing up, but my mom and dad would park me at the friend's house for sometimes a day and a half while they had to go do something and vice versa.
And there was no thought anywhere that somebody was violating a stupid law about daycare centers.
Now I'm not the person that snitched.
Exactly right.
This is like people going through grocery stores snitching on people who are carrying their kid the wrong way in a knapsack or what have you.
Now back to health care.
There's an amazing report on ABC News.
And I alluded to it mere moments ago.
The health care coverage that members of Congress get.
Now everybody has asked the question, hey, you guys in Congress, you're going to sign you and your family up for the same rotten deal that you're imposing on us.
And of course, they're all, oh, no, no, well, we can't.
We have a special, a different plan.
Some are lying and say, yes, I'll be the first to do it.
Obama says, well, I can't.
You know, I got my own doctor running around, and I don't think anybody can get the health care I get.
Well, nobody's going to get the kind of health care members of Congress get.
Timothy Johnson, who is the medical doctor director at ABC News, had this report on Good Morning America today, accompanied by a full text report of it on their website.
And I think people are misunderstanding this.
The ABC headline, Special Health Care for Congress, lawmakers health care perks, little-known office on Capitol Hill provides quality care for low price.
And a lot of people are saying, ah, this is ABC blowing the whistle on Congress.
It is no such thing.
It is Tim Johnson who loves the concept of government, period, loves the concept of govern-run health care.
It's Tim Johnson trying to say, this is what's coming your way.
This is the kind of health care that awaits us all.
Under the guise of exposing it in Congress, we have a montage here of his report.
Anybody know about this when Obama says he's going to give everybody the same health care as Congress gets?
Is this what he's talking about?
Listen.
Right in the U.S. Capitol at a little-known and rarely discussed clinic called the Office of the Attending Physician.
For a flat $503 yearly fee, members of Congress have access to almost all of the primary care they could ever need right behind this door.
From exams and EKGs to x-rays and minor surgeries, all provided by Navy doctors and nurses.
If a particular specialist is needed, one will be brought to the Capitol, all of this for no additional charge.
We wanted to talk to the attending physician on camera about these services, but our repeated requests were denied.
And when we tried to visit the office, we were asked to leave.
Dr. Eduardo Balbona is now in private practice, but he spent two years as a staff physician at the office.
Customer service is excellent.
A member walks in and generally walks right back into a physician's office.
They are not rushed.
They are examined thoroughly.
Any test that is helpful is done.
I'm sitting here thinking, if you're going to introduce this bill for the federal health plan, why not throw in something like this office that is provide primary care?
If Congress can have those kinds of things, why can't we?
It's not a political perk.
Much like a medic who's in combat, it's not a perk to those soldiers.
It's part of the mission.
It's part of the mission.
These holier than now, arrogant, condescending elitists think that they are on a mission.
They have structured health care for themselves.
By the way, there's also a pharmacy.
There's a pharmacy in the U.S. Capitol in the office of the attending physician.
You walk in there, you need a prescription fill, they do it.
House bank, house post office, house, house doctor.
It is all for $500 a year.
Need a specialist?
Bring him in.
No additional charge.
Need a test?
No additional charge.
We'll do it.
And then you catch Johnson's question sitting here, why not throw this in the bill that you're planning for everybody else?
Oh, no, no, no, Can't do it.
This is not a perk.
Not a perk.
Members of Congress were being asked to believe that somebody set this up for them because it's so important that they continue to work each and every day.
They set this up themselves.
They pass every law in this country.
They set up their own office of the attending physician.
They determine who staffs it.
They determine how much is budgeted for it.
They determine how much they pay for it.
So while they are on the way to enslaving us to a health care system that will turn every medical decision you have about yourself and your kids over to dealing with some faceless bureaucrat miles away, these same people have Cadillac, Mercedes, whatever you want to call it, healthcare coverage for essentially $500.
This does not include the already generous health care plan they have for when they're not in the capital.
They can choose from 11 different insurance options and so forth.
And it's all paid for by, of course, us.
So while they're planning this big national takeover of the health care plan, single-payer government public option.
All this to bring down costs.
All this to improve your care.
All of this to reduce fraud and waste in government.
All of this to reduce the federal deficit.
I have never had my intelligence insulted like it's been insulted with this entire health care debate.
The stimulus debate was almost as insulting, the idea that it's going to stimulate the economy.
There's nobody with half an economic brain who ever believed that, because it's not about stimulating the economy, and this health care reform is not about improving your health care.
It's about enslaving you.
This is what Democrats want.
This is who they are.
They don't like the Constitution.
They don't like the concepts of freedom and liberty, private property rights.
They look at the private sector as nothing other than an entity that provides them the money they need to rule.
Sadly, these people now control every branch of the government, and they're adding 63 new federal judgeships that they will populate with people just like themselves who down the road in any further dispute legally over whatever legislation passes, their buddies will side on the side and in favor of the government.
Folks, it's being taken away from us right before our very eyes under false premise, under the guise of compassion.
It's being done despite the knowledge of everybody on Capitol Hill that we don't want it.
The numbers supporting it plummet each time a poll is taken.
This is nothing more than a scheme against the American people.
The concept of a representative republic or democracy is being shattered before our very eyes.
And we're being told that the people running the country have great compassion and they care for us.
They have more compassion and more concern for us than evil, rascally Republicans have ever had.
Here's Chuck Schumer.
This is last night on MSNBC.
Question, is there hope?
Is there hope?
This is Chris Matthews.
Is there hope?
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Is there hope?
Is there hope for the public option?
Oh, yeah, I believe there is.
If you followed this closely, we said all along we never expected to win in Finance Committee.
In fact, there were some who were saying we're going to get so few votes we shouldn't bring it up.
So this was really good news for us.
Yeah, well, sorry, Senator Schubert, but this is all a joke.
This is all a lie, too.
The whole plan's going to be a public option, and they're going to ram it through, as I explained in the first hour.
If they can get it done by next week, fine.
If they can't, they'll work on it October 12th.
Harry Reid has now canceled the October recess, the Columbus Day recess, to focus on health care.
Cancel the Senate's Columbus Day recess so that lawmakers can focus on passing health care reform during the week of October 12th.
Now, if they can get it done next week and take their recess, they will.
You've been hearing people say they can't get it done before the end of the year.
They're not going to get it done by Thanksgiving by Christmas.
They can't do it at all.
It's going to get it done before that, and they're going to get it done in scheming ways that I detailed in the first hour.
Can't go through it again.
But I want you to listen.
Here's some compassion.
Here is some real genuine compassion.
The Democrat Party, they own it, right?
Liberals.
They're the ones with the big hearts.
They're the ones who really care.
This is actually a great case of projection.
Who is it that has set up death panels?
Who is it that has written legislation that will have bureaucrats decide who does and does not get life-saving treatment based on whatever criteria they want to use?
These are Democrat-written bills in the Senate and in the House.
Not one Republican word in any of these bills, right?
It's this public option that is going to determine who among us lives and dies on the basis of who among us gets health care, gets treatment based on whatever criteria they say is necessary.
Last night on the floor of the House, Alan Grayson, a Florida Democrat, spoke about health care reform and said this.
If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this.
Die quickly.
That's right.
The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick.
Remember, the Republican plan, don't get sick.
And if you do get sick, die quickly.
Now, that is simply outrageous.
There is no Republican plan in any way, shape, man, or reforms that come close to this.
The only plan that asks you to die and get out of the way is a Democrat plan.
1984, Richard Lamb, Democrat governor of Colorado.
All people have a duty to die and get out of the way.
Back then, he was laughed off the public stage.
How could you say something so die and get out of the way?
25 years later, Newsweek magazine has a cover story, The Case for Pulling the Plug on Granny.
It's the American left that wants you to die.
They want you to die in the womb, and they want you to die when you're no longer productive toward the end of your life.
It's the Democrat Party that's obsessed with your death.
The Democrat Party that is obsessed, not with life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, but the exact opposite.
The party of abortion and euthanasia, slavery, not liberty, and everybody being created miserable and mediocre.
That's how they would rewrite the Constitution.
They're in the process of doing it now without actually touching the document.
Now, let's go to Scarborough's show today on MSNBC.
Mikhail Jashinsky is talking to Congressman Elijah Cummings of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Congressman, are you prepared to say that Grayson went too far in his language that Republicans want people to die?
I'm not prepared to say that.
I see a lot of people in my community dying slowly because they don't have health care and don't have insurance.
And so, and many of them have been the victims.
When I go to town hall meetings and I ask a, say, a 90% African-American audience, how many know of people who have died within the last year that they knew or believed strongly should not have died because they didn't have insurance or were not treated properly.
90% of the people consistently hold up their hands.
Now, I want to give you a comparison.
Joe Wilson goes to House of the Floor during a joint speech and says, you lie to Obama.
The Republican Party, despite Joe Wilson telling the truth, denounce him.
That was uncalled for.
That was uncivil.
We don't need that.
A Democrat goes to the House floor, says Republicans want you to die quickly, get sick and die quickly.
They go to Elijah Cummings.
Oh, no, I think it's absolutely right.
In fact, black people are dying because of Republicans.
They don't throw their own people under the bus.
They amplify what they say.
We will be back.
By the way, speaking of Elijah Cummings, I don't believe anybody in this country is dying because of a lack of health insurance.
But that's what Obama's saying.
And Obama's a grand poopah.
So Elijah Cummings goes out there and reports it, repeats it, and so forth and so on.
And this is how these things become mantras.
Then the drive-bys pick it up.
And before you know it, 45,000 people a year.
45,000 people a year are dying, dying, dying.
And the Democrat Party is obsessed with death.
Life?
No.
Abortion, euthanasia.
Liberty?
No.
Slavery.
Subordination to government.
Pursuit of happiness?
Not possible.
I've yet to meet a happy liberal.
They're angry, deranged lunatics.
They don't want to enjoy life.
If they become a vegetarian, everybody else must become one.
If a conservative becomes a vegetarian, fine.
Whatever you want to do with your life, fine.
You want to eat meat?
Go ahead.
If a liberal buys a Prius, everybody has to buy a Prius.
If the conservative buys a Prius, he's made fun of by his friends and eventually sells it.
Laura in Kansas City, Missouri, nice to have you on the EIB network.
You're up first today.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Lovely to talk to you.
Thank you.
Well, you just sort of segue right into the reason I called, which is sort of the kind of marketing, viral marketing, pick up the ball and run that the media does and the liberal Democrats do for each other.
I mean, they're great with the assist.
But what had prompted me to call was I was, I noticed this morning that Obama announced a $5 billion grant to the NIH from the stimulus fund.
And it's been a while since I've looked up the stimulus funds, you know, and I try and check in regularly to see what's being done with it, if anything.
And anyways, I thought, you know, when I first heard it, I thought, well, you know, I don't have an issue with that.
The NIH, great, that's good.
Okay.
Good research, clinical research, no big deal, good place to put the money.
And then I thought, wait a minute, healthcare is this guy's platform.
This is his big deal.
And the stimulus has been passed and pushed through for a while.
So why did they just now decide to announce or to give the NIH $5 billion?
Look, in the first place, you are wrong, sorry, to assume that $5 billion of stimulus money to a government agency is worthwhile.
The NIH is not underfunded.
The stimulus bill was for shovel-ready work projects to put people back to work.
It was not to dole out patronage money to the National Institute of Health.
This is all a marketing thing.
Why they do it now to make it look like the stimulus is ongoing and they're giving money away to improve research into healthcare to save lives.
It's all a scheme.
The NIH doesn't deserve a penny of stimulus money.
Mambo Numbu Fa.
That's Lou Bega and our bump rotation.
We're going to get back to the phones here in just a second.
Sit tight.
Let me try to explain what's going on this way.
You know, we have jihadists all over the world.
We have Islamic jihadists and so forth.
And right now, I think we in this country face a liberal jihad.
We have a holy war against the Constitution of this country being fought by the American left.
And instead of like the Islamic jihadists say, death to America, death to America, What the liberal jihadists are saying is death to the Constitution.
If they have to blow themselves up like the Islamic jihadists do, each liberal gets 72 interns in paradise.
That's the promise.
I got a lot of questions, people listening to the show today.
Rush, why don't you go on television?
Everybody else has a television show.
Why don't you go on television?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to explain this again because I understand people wanting either me to be on TV, to do this kind of thing on television and so forth.
I really think that radio done right has more impact than television, or certainly as much.
My audience here is larger than any audience in cable TV.
I have a go on or any network I can go on to have a show.
But more importantly, is this a professional thing?
I've done television shows, and I frankly, I don't like it.
It's structured.
It is planned.
It is orchestrated.
It allows for no improv or spontaneity.
I've never had to do, really, such a professional thing.
I've never had one meeting to do this radio show.
I have never sat down an hour before it, the day before it, and called somebody and said, I'm going to do this at 1.08.30 tomorrow.
And I want you to have this ready by that exact time.
And this is what I'm going to say.
And I want the microphone in this position.
And the phone call.
And I've done this my whole life.
Television is one of the most confining, restricting things.
You know, when I sit down to actually write, when I've tried to write things, writing is very hard for me because my vocabulary shrinks by half.
My experience is speaking.
My brain is at full 110% speed when I'm speaking.
But when I sit down to start write, and then just use an example, I get caught up in the keyboard errors, got to correct that, lose my train of thought.
I can't type as fast as I can think.
I can speak as fast as I can think.
And so my experience in training is speaking extemporaneously after having been fully prepared and informed.
But to have to involve 10 other people in what I'm going to do drives me nuts.
Okay, Mr. Director, I'm going to do this.
Then we're going to have this picture ready to go at that point in time.
And I start thinking more about the process than the content.
And monologues on television don't cut it.
You've got to have pictures on TV.
Radio, you can provide the pictures via the host's talent and the audience's imagination.
TV requires, the audience requires that you show them something.
And monologues on TV were okay, but I mean, it's not, I don't know.
People are actually inundated with this question today, so I felt that I owed them an answer.
Also, for those of you who were here yesterday, you know that I have been invited to participate in the Miss America pageant in January as a judge.
And I asked the audience what they thought of this because the original note from the Miss America pageant people said it's a week-long commitment from January 24th to the 30th out in Las Vegas.
January 24th is the 30th.
I don't know.
I can't miss a full week's of radio here without judging evening gowns and stuff.
And so they got back yesterday.
Whoa, whoa, no, wait a minute.
We heard Rush was talking about this today.
I'll bet they did.
And we were more than happy to work the schedule around the broadcast schedule.
Well, I haven't made up my mind yet.
I mean, I've got other things I have to ask them about and decide.
But they said, and they don't even know what the schedule is.
I've got a lot of things to batten down.
I got to, one of the things, I'll be honest with you, but one of the things I'm worried about, I can't go, so I've started using a treadmill now.
I can't go to a gym in a hotel to use a treadmill.
I can't do things like that in public.
I'm too famous.
Sit tight, Snurdy, if you let me finish this.
So I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up the exercise regimen.
You know, if you don't keep it up, I mean, it kind of all just falls by the wayside.
And I don't want to be a primadonna and say, bring some equipment into the hotel suite.
And I'm not going to go to a hotel gym.
I'm too famous to do that sort of stuff.
But I saw this story.
I saw this story.
It's a study, actually, by German scientists.
I'm not making this up here.
It's another thing to consider.
If I do judge the Miss America contest, I won't have to exercise that week.
A study by German scientists showed that 10 minutes a day of ogling women's breasts by men was as good at warding off heart disease, high blood pressure, and stress as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.
The five-year study conducted by Dr. Karen Weatherby followed 200 guys.
Those who partook in boob ogling for just 10 minutes a day enjoyed benefits equal to those of 30 minutes on a treadmill.
Weatherby found that a mere 10 minutes of staring at well-endowed women is roughly the equivalent of a 30-minute aerobics workout because of the heart pumping, improving circulation, and so forth.
Well, so I have to throw this into the hopper of things that I have to consider.
I'm not making it up, folks.
It's right there.
I saw it doing show prep last night, about 9:15.
I got the date, the time stamp here when I printed it out.
Now, our last call was about stimulus money and the National Institute of Health.
You remember when Obama announced all of these ridiculous money savings ideas for government printing on both sides of the paper, saving paper clips or whatever?
Well, maybe he might want to update that and block all of pornography on taxpayer-paid-for computers operated by taxpayer-paid employees.
This is an exclusive in the Washington Times.
Employee misconduct investigations, often involving government workers accessing pornography from their government computers, grew six-fold last year inside the taxpayer-funded foundation that doles out billions of dollars of scientific research grants according to budget documents retained, obtained by the Washington Times.
We're talking here about the National Science Foundation.
The problems at the National Science Foundation were so pervasive, they swamped the agency's inspector general.
They forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars.
Employees at the National Science Foundation are surfing the internet for pornography, and it is rampant.
To manage this dramatic increase without an increase in staff required us to significantly reduce our efforts to investigate grant fraud.
So rather than investigate fraud in the grants, they're investigating all the employees who are using government computers to surf the net for porn.
We anticipate a significant decline in investigative recoveries and prosecutions in coming years as a direct result of having to investigate the porn.
So they have to beg the government to get money to investigate the government.
The story has more details, but there's something even more fascinating about it, a companion story.
This from KOTV in Oklahoma.
A professor at Oklahoma State University received $1.1 million in stimulus money from the National Science Foundation to study Alaskan grandparents.
Associate Professor Tammy Henderson, Ph.D., will use $1.1 million in stimulus money for her research project on Alaskan grandparents.
The National Science Foundation made the grant possible through their pot of stimulus money.
Some Oklahomans say this is just one more example of stimulus waste.
For more than 10 years, Oklahoma State University professor Tammy Henderson has been researching grandparents.
She studies their relationships and responsibilities with their families.
$1.15 million of stimulus money, this shovel-revy jobs.
Anybody remember this?
Infrastructure repair?
Anybody remember all the jobs?
And now the perverts at the National Science Foundation are doling out millions of dollars to a professor to study Alaskan grandparents.
I wonder if she's studying whether or not there's incest, given all the pornography that's being looked at and studied at the National Science Foundation.
This is the same tawdry bunch of elitists who are telling you they know how to save money in healthcare, improve your coverage, and all that yada, yada, yada.
Now, the National Science Foundation, this is an interesting point that you must know.
National Science Foundation was about to be investigated for all kinds of dubious grants that they've awarded over the years.
And then mysteriously, the discovery of all the porn surfing.
And now the investigation of all the porn surfing has temporarily halted the investigation of the dubious grants at the National Science Foundation.
The Inspector General got caught up checking into the way National Science Foundation employees watch pornography and chat on telephone sex lines all day.
He's never able to get around to checking out their grant records.
So the fraudulent grants from the National Science Foundation will continue.
They're not being investigated because there's a mysterious level of porn and phone sex calls being made from the National Science Foundation.
After all, folks, I mean, this is stimulus money.
And along the same lines, the story we had yesterday about Obama's safe schools are.
This is the guy who promoted a 15-year-old boy having a relationship, homosexual relationship with an older man outside the school, advised him on how to do it, do a condom.
Here's how to smile.
You know, all the exploitation of children going on over the country, indoctrination, the Polanski story, the safe schools are, I mean, I think this guy'd be taking center stage right now trying to clean it all up, right?
If there was ever an excuse for a safe school czar, this is it.
Maybe give a national address to all the schools like the president did, talk about the difference between indoctrination and education, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Washington Times, when Mark Foley was caught chasing congressional pages, he got exactly what was coming to him.
In a blizzard of coverage, Foley's creepy behavior was examined from every possible angle.
Nobody wanted to hear that he was stupid, that he was objectionable.
Objectional behavior was confined to emails and text messages.
His immediate resignation didn't quiet the furor.
When two years of investigations found no crime, the results got barely a peep.
Whether the press feeding frenzy around Foley's disgrace was justified or not, the explosion of coverage was certainly understandable.
That reality is what makes coverage of Kevin Jennings, President Obama's safe schools are, something of a mystery.
Jennings brings all the sleaze of Foley for real.
Sex in the underage, check.
An older man, check.
Potential misbehavior by government officials, check.
But the Jennings case brings a lot more.
Safe schools are who fail to report statutory rape, an educational leader who encouraged a 15-year-old student to be comfortable with sexual abuse, a federal official who ignored a law requiring him to report even the possibility of a crime.
And now we got pornography going on, the National Sounds Science Foundation, dubious grants being made, the Roman Polanski story.
And Sarah Palin remains public enemy number one to the drive-by media.
Back after this.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, before we get back to the phones, Garrison Keillor today in the Chicago Tribune with a column.
And it dovetails precisely with what I said in the first hour after discussing the scheme to get health care passed.
You're going to have to go to bureaucrats to have your kids treated, yourself treated.
And what judgment, what criteria is going to be used when all the bureaucracy is liberal Democrats?
Garrison Keillor actually wrote these words today in the Chicago Tribune.
Tim Polenti attacks the president for giving a speech telling school children to work hard in school and get good grades.
One starts to wonder if the country wouldn't be better off without them and if Republicans should just be cut out of the health care system entirely and provided with aspirin and hand sanitizer.
32% of the population identifies with the Republican Party.
And if we cut off health care to them, we can probably pay off the deficit in short order.
It's time to dump the dead-end issues that have wasted too much time already.
Old men shouldn't be allowed to doze off at the switch and muck up the works for the young who will have to repair the damage.
Get over yourselves.
Your replacements have arrived and you should think about them now and then.
Enough with the shrieking.
Pass health care reform.
Yeah, Prairie Home Companion Garrison Keillor, who is an old man now.
He recently had a stroke.
He was saved by good health care, but it's not made him nice, nor has it made him smart.
32% of the population.
Now, remember, now these are the people who are preaching to us about civility.
These are the people treating to us about compassion.
Here's Garrison Keillor, who basically says, Look, 32% of the country's Republican.
Deny them health care.
Give them aspirin and hand sanitizer.
Let them die.
We'll save lots of money.
A bill in Indianapolis welcomed, and the Chicago Tribune published it.
Hello, Bill.
Great to have you on the program.
Thank you for waiting, sir.
Yeah, what a pleasure it is for you to get to speak to a happy, healthy ogler.
Yeah, it's nice to have somebody happy.
That's right.
My question is: I keep hearing from these liberal Democrats that 40,000 people die every year that do not have health care coverage.
How many people with good health care coverage died?
More than 40,000.
Well, that'd be about, they say, 300,000 a year because of smoking, 400,000 a year because of obesity, 500,000 a year because of trans fats.
And I bet they all ate carrots too while they had health insurance.
That's right.
That's right.
40,000 people are not dying because they don't have health insurance.
They're dying because of bad health.
Somebody.
Oh, they're dying because people die.
That's right.
Good health does not give you immortality.
We die.
Sometimes you die in an auto accident.
Elijah Cummings is out there saying in his constituency, blots are dying because they don't have health covers.
And he said, oops, oops, I mean, health insurance, health insurance.
I would like for him to produce one death certificate of one of his constituents, cause of death, no health insurance.
I want to see it.
I want to parade.
I want to see the caskets.
I want to see the cemetery.
I want to see the graveyard.
I want to see the tombstones of all of his constituents who have died because they had no health insurance.
They throw these numbers around, which are cockamamy and absurd.
So show us the cemetery.
Show us the death certificate.
If you don't want to do that, just give us the case examples.
See, the person ABC here passed away because they didn't have health insurance, meaning they got really sick and they didn't get covered.
They gave treatment.
Really?
Did they go to the emergency room?
Because it's a federal law.
You have to be treated when you go in there.
These people are just a bunch of lying sacks and you know what, folks, through and through.
It's all they know how to do.
Now, this is unbelievable.
This headline just came out, Bloomberg.
Alan Greenspan says he sees the U.S. economy slowing next year as the surge in stocks comes to an end.
He sees the economy slowing.
It's barely crawling as it is.
Greenspan sees growth slowing as stocks splatten.
