Time Text
We be back, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, where we engage in fun frolic and frivolity, as well as the serious discussion of issues, a combination not found elsewhere in major worldwide media.
We are happy to have you on the program as we are every day.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
Now this uh this was posted yesterday at Detroit.com.
It's the website for Channel 4 Eyeball News in Detroit.
Detroit's homeless and low-income residents have another opportunity for a chance at millions of stimulus dollars.
The money is available to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing.
Seems to me this would include almost all of Detroit now.
Now let me let me read this to you again, though.
Stimulus dollars.
You remember stimulus dollars shovel ready job projects, roads, bridges, schools, outhouses, whatever the hell needs to be built.
The stimulus was going to hire people to get it built, right?
We learned that um a million dollars in homeland security funding, typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to Acorn.
This is in the Washington Times.
And now stimulus money available in Detroit to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing.
This is nothing but redistribution.
This is not stimulus.
Thousands, thousands of people lined up yesterday.
Some people in line falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama administration.
City officials told Channel 4 Eyeball News in Detroit that Detroit was granted $15 million to help residents pay bills and their rent or find temporary housing for the homeless.
The Detroit Planning and Development Department is taking applications Tuesday.
This is yesterday now, and today for the homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing program.
This is all part of Obama's stimulus, the homeless prevention and rapid rehousing program.
The remaining 5,000 applications can be picked up Wednesday at the Cobo Hall in the Riverview Ballroom from 10 to 2.
So I guess right now, 5,000 people are lined up out there to participate.
Already filled out applications can be submitted at the Cobalt Hall from 10 to 2 p.m. or sent in the mail to the Detroit Planning and Development Department, 65 Cadillac Square Suite 1400.
Applications must be postmarked by today.
Here are the application guidelines.
And frankly, I hope these people's applications are handled faster than a cash for clunkers applications were, or these people are going to end up homeless anyway.
To qualify, a person must have been a resident of Detroit for more than six months, must be homeless.
Wait a minute.
How can you be a resident if you're homeless?
That's a minor point.
Don't ask Rush.
A person must have been a resident of Detroit for more than six months, must be homeless, or must be facing eviction, and must be able to maintain housing after receiving assistance.
Yeah, like they're gonna follow up and be able to prove it.
Also, a resident must make 50% less than the median area income, which would be less than 24,850 for single Detroit residents and less than 355 for a family of four.
Now, I believe that according to all the income he can remember, Charlie Wrangle would qualify for this.
All the income that he uh that he that he he can't remember he would he would qualify.
No mortgage assistance will be available through this program.
Once applications are reviewed, only applicants eligible for funding assistance will receive notification from a service provider.
The city of Detroit's running this folks, there's no telling how long it's gonna take to process these applications.
Um given that it's a government bureaucracy, they are dealing with potential riots here.
People going down there thinking they're gonna get 3,000 bucks and not gonna get 3,000 bucks.
They got to fill out an application and then wait.
So our affiliate, WJR in Detroit, on the scene.
News reporter Ken Regulski went down there, and here is an interview with one of the people in line for stimulus cash.
Cut 49.
I forgot to tell a broadcast engineer we were doing, and I assumed he would have.
Cut 49, three, two, one.
Did you get an application to fill out yet?
I sure did.
I felt it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.
Will you know today how much money you're getting?
No, I won't, but uh waiting for a phone call.
Where's the money coming from?
I believe it's coming from the um city of Detroit or the state.
Where did they get it from?
Some funds that was forgiven by Obama.
And where did Obama get the funds?
Oh, Obama might have gotten the funds from um.
I have no idea.
Tell you the truth, he's the president.
In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News.
Okay, that's a New Zealand is looking better and better and better.
Oh, well, uh, some funds that was forgiven by Obama.
Some funds that was forgiven by Obama.
I'm reminded of the early town meeting in uh Florida.
Obama went down there, and uh some woman actually stood up and asked him, When's her new kitchen gonna be installed?
And another woman stood up, where do I get my new car?
Now, hey, you we we sit here and laugh.
This is exactly this is a model citizen as far as Obama's concerned.
This person that Ken Ragulski interviewed is the classic illustration.
That person is the rightful owner of this nation's wealth.
That person, that woman has been shafted by the U.S. injustice, racism says sexism bigotry, unfairness, immorality.
That woman is in the circumstances she's in because America is a flawed nation.
And as such, that woman is going to have what has been rightfully hers all of her life that has never been hers given to her.
That woman is the ideal American citizen.
That woman is the citizen, and the type of citizen, Obama wants to build his future America on.
I kid you not.
and Washington Times, I wasn't making it up.
Nearly one million dollars in homeland security funding, typically earmarked for fire departments, has been awarded to Acorn.
Despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to Acorn.
The grant to Acorn's Louisiana office became public five days ago, less than three weeks after the House and Senate voted to cut off acorn funding after employees were caught on video advising a fake prostitute and a pimp on scams.
If you were listening yesterday, hell, if you were listening the day before, if you've been listening at all, you have heard me clearly enunciate exactly what Obama's plan is.
You heard the teachable moment phone call yesterday with the recent graduate from a university who started out saying, Russia, I really don't think the Democrats are doing this on purpose.
I just think they're bumbling idiots.
And in 20 minutes, I gave the man four years of experience.
I moved him ahead of the game four years than where he would be if he just had to live through it and come to the conclusions that I gave him himself.
And I think that the Weekly Standard has a um has an article.
And it's an outstanding summary of what I have been saying for months now.
Let me just give you a quick paragraph from this weekly standard article.
But that doesn't quite capture the flavor of Obama's mission.
Obama's not merely observing a downward trend and trying to shepherd this nation through that process.
He believes such a downward direction is the morally proper one for America and Americans.
The only way we can be forgiven are manifold sins and emerge purified through humility and sacrifice.
Obama also believes that he is the special instrument by which the nation can accomplish this transformation.
That more than any specific policy on any specific issue is the goal of Obama's presidency.
The shriveling and the humbling of America.
That is what Obama means by fundamental change.
Weekly standard.
I am glad that this is finally getting out beyond the very broad confines of this radio audience.
That is a perfect summary of what this administration is all about.
This downward spiral is being shepherded by Obama.
It's morally proper.
The only way we can be forgiven are manifold sins and emerge purified through humility and sacrifice.
The rightful owners of this nation's wealth.
Grab cut 49 again.
The rightful owner of this nation's wealth, owners, is typified.
In this soundbite, once again from Detroit.
This woman, interviewed by WJR Detroit, is the model citizen.
The ideal citizen on which Obama wishes to build this new country of his and his power base and his presidency.
Did you get an application to fill out your?
I sure did.
I felt it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.
Well, you know today how much money you're getting.
No, I won't, but I'm waiting for a phone call.
Where's the money coming from?
I believe it's coming from the um city of Detroit or the state.
Where did they get it from?
Some funds that was forgiven by Obama.
And where did Obama get the funds?
Oh, Obama might have gotten the funds from um.
I have no idea.
Tell you the truth, he's the president.
In downtown Detroit, Ken Ragoski, WJR News.
All right, we're back, and we have sound, ladies and gentlemen from the um youth violence, uh community organization uh uh summit, I think they call it in Chicago today.
First Mayor Daly was there.
Uh it's a press conference, actually a summit uh with the education secretary Arnie Duncan, the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about youth violence.
Here's part of what Mayor Daly said.
The needless and brutal violence that continues to take our children from us is an outrage.
Even one child loss of violence is one too many in our city.
I am very thankful that is also the outrage of the administration leaders in Washington, D.C. Every Chicagoan has responsibility to help prevent and end the violence.
So does every level of government to help deepen our partnership with Washington.
I met with Attorney General Holder and Secretary Arnie Duncan and community leaders.
It was a very productive meeting.
Among the things we talked about.
How best to focus our resources on the young people and the families who need help the most.
Money.
Exactly right.
Resources equals money.
So Daly is happy.
Can I tell you why Daly's happy?
Because he's now gonna get the money he was gonna get from the Olympics, only this time it's coming from Washington, ostensibly to deal with youth violence, which has been a problem.
I remember back in the 90s when I had my television show, there was a really senseless crime.
And again, it was black on black, and it was in a poor neighborhood, and it was uh you'll remember this thirdly, a six-year-old killed a five-year-old or a ten-year-old killed a five-year-old, whatever.
Blatant murder.
And I did a monologue on my TV show, quoting Bob Green, uh, at that time a columnist in Chicago, but how the nation lost its soul.
Oh, the Capri Heights, yeah.
Oh, this is not new.
This youth on youth violence look at part of the reason it is happening, is because there is a 52% unemployment rate among America's youth.
Another reason youth on youth violence is happening is because that happens to be the culture of liberal social programs.
It's what it creates.
Liberal social programs bust up families.
They get rid of the husband or the father, the government takes that role.
Families get busted up, single mothers, there's no discipline.
There are all other kinds of cultural influences out there that promote this kind of thing, and it's been going on in Chicago and New York, and I don't know how Los Angeles for how long.
And all of a sudden, now, when Chicago loses Olympics money, we have to have a national focus on this with Arnie Duncan and Eric Holder flying in from Washington to ostensibly, finally, and once and for all fix this with their resources.
Make no mistake, I don't doubt that Mayor Daly and all these people are concerned about the violence.
I don't doubt it, but I don't see them doing anything about it.
Nobody likes it.
But I mean, I don't see them doing anything about it.
What I hear is, well, you know, we can't be too hard on them.
Can't be too hard on them because I mean, you know, we have to understand the circumstances that they came from.
The uh, I mean, we have to understand their rage, their anger and so forth.
By the way, folks, uh, case you missed today's morning update along the same lines.
Next year, by order of one of Britain's senior judge, look, liberals or liberals, wherever they are, radicals or radicals, wherever they are.
This is a UK story.
Next year, by order of one of Britain's senior judges, up to 30 of the most dangerous terrorists in the UK are going to be released from prison.
One such terrorist designated high risk is a radical Islamic convert who was found guilty in 2005 of possessing notes on how to fire mortar bombs.
He was supposed to do 15 years.
He's gonna get out in April.
Others due to be released were found guilty of soliciting murder during the Danish cartoon protest, so they gave assistance to suicide bombers.
The rationale of the court get this.
They say that giving long sentences to convicted terrorists could inflame their terrorist buddies rather than serve as a deterrent.
A spokesman for the UK probation service says scores more terrorists will be released.
Every single one that comes out will have to be supervised until their full sentence expires.
Supervised.
This is this is more than a teachable moment, folks.
This is a learnable moment.
And if you haven't learned it yet, learn it now.
Not only is liberalism wrong about everything that matters, it's deadly.
Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, wherever Democrats and liberals have run places for years, check it out.
Mayor Daly makes a press conference, gets Obama to send in a couple administration people, and voila, he gets the money from Washington that he was going to get from the Olympics.
Liberals in power are a threat to Western civilization.
They are ruthless in pursuit of power, but they are weak in the face of evil, and their compassion for evildoers defies sanity.
Doesn't matter where they are, folks, liberals are liberals.
And so you go take it back to Chicago.
Where's where is the hardened punishment?
Oh, we can't be understanding.
And this business about letting these terrorists go because it's just going to inflame terrorist buddies and create more terrorism.
Well, doesn't that apply then to any criminal?
Because every criminal's got buddies.
Most criminals are part of some sort of organization or gang.
Shouldn't we let all the mafia guys that are in jail let them out?
Shouldn't we let Omar Abdel Rahman out of jail?
I mean, I can imagine all these terrorist buddies of his around the world are really, really mad now.
But wait, but wait, but wait, I just I remember just from an hour ago, I had a story from state-controlled AP, which said that Al-Qaeda barely exists anymore.
There are just a hundred members.
We can't even find them.
They're so scattered, they're leaderless Obama is impotent.
Oh, sorry, Osama is impotent.
I was right on both counts.
Anyway, how can that be?
In Britain, they're gonna let terrorists go because they're worried the the uh buddies of these guys are ratcheting up and they're getting really mad, and this is all Al-Qaeda.
AP has a story al-Qaeda we can't even find them in Afghanistan anymore.
They don't exist.
I mean, what about Abu Grab?
What about Club Gitmo?
What about Americans and our loss of values?
We are tortured these poor people.
We thus their Korans down the toilet in a lie told by Newsweek magazine.
And all that was really supposed to enhance terrorist recruitment.
Oh yeah.
Bush, far from defeating terrorists, was expanding their numbers, expanding their resolve.
Bush was making them angrier than they've ever been because of torture.
Cheney and Rumsville ditto.
Now we can't find Al-Qaeda, says AP, and furthermore.
The Brits are letting these people out of jail because they're scared to death, their buddies.
Which don't exist, according to AP, are going to get really, really mad.
Well, I guess the same applies to Chicago.
Instead of going after the people that did this, let's have a summit, bring in some money from Washington.
And um make the country think we're tackling the problem.
It's just another play for power and another transfer of wealth from Washington to a patron of Barack Hussein Obama.
Mmm.
And that would be the mayor of Chicago, Richard Daly.
Uh.
None of it is right.
Back after this.
You know what's really down low and dirty about this whole thing going on in Chicago today?
Wait for it.
Chicago knew they have a youth violence problem.
Chicago has known this for decades, that they got a specific youth violence problem, and yet they still tried to trick the Olympics into coming to Chicago.
Now that's just irresponsible.
You got a youth violence problem, you're trying to convict or convince a bunch of poor third world people to come in and get killed.
Well, but but Brazil's no better.
I know, but Brazil's not doing press conferences that are gonna get rid of all the kidnappers in the crime.
Brazil's saying, hey, yeah, we got a crime problem.
Get your cars armored if you're coming to the Olympics.
Look at folks.
If I may be serious for a moment, uh this is another case with this press conference today with uh with Holder and Daly and Arnie Duncan.
It's another case.
It's just like Katrina.
It's just like Katrina, it's just like Enron, it's just like every other thing that goes on.
A case of the government swooping in now, as innocent bystanders, as spectators.
Oh, holy lordy, we got a problem.
Oh my gosh, how are we gonna fix them?
Oh, we got youth beaten up youth.
We got youth killing.
Oh my god, we gotta have a problem, we've got a problem.
We gotta move in now, and we we gotta we we're just there to help.
We're gonna have a press conference.
They are the problem to begin with.
Their social programs create the culture and the climate for this.
It drives me nuts.
This place has been run by Mayor Daly and Mayor Daly.
It's been run by Obama, it's been run by Arnie Duncan, has been run by Bill Ayers, and the Annenberg Challenge money since the 90s.
The Libs are totally in charge of the educational environment where these kids are apparently not showing up.
They're hanging around on the streets beating and killing each other.
And yet, they swoop in as innocent bystanders, spectators.
Oh, and they're just there to help.
They're gonna solve the problem and they're gonna find out who's really to blame here.
It does, it does.
It drives me nuts that none of their ideas, none of their laws, none of their mandates for things ever get reviewed, study, or investigated.
As perhaps being the problem.
And you want to hear the piece de resistance.
Eric Holder at the press conference today.
Nearly two weeks ago, this nation was shocked, shocked by a video showing scenes of such graphic violence that they left an indelible mark in the mind of every American who has seen them.
For me, and for this administration, it was a call to action to address a challenge that affects this entire nation.
Youth violence is not a Chicago problem.
Any more than it is a black problem, a white problem, or a Hispanic problem.
Okay, fine.
It's a liberal problem.
It is a radical leftist problem, and you're gonna make it worse by throwing a bunch of money at the mayor.
And by the way, it's not just Chicago.
That means there's money available for other cities to help stop youth violence when it's these cities run by leftists that create the culture where all this happens.
Now, last hour, ladies and gentlemen, last hour.
I shared with you the news from the diminutive, small, tiny, could never play third base in the major leagues because he couldn't see over the pitcher's mound and make a throw to first, Tim Geitner.
In Germany saying we don't save enough.
We're gonna have to start saving money to create an economic recovery.
Save what, I asked.
Sixteen percent real unemployment.
Just weeks ago, stories from the same source.
People are saving too much.
They're not spending enough.
So we gotta save.
Get this news from the BusinessInsider.com.
Americans spend more on overdraft fees than they spend on fresh vegetables.
Overdraft fees have been getting tons of attention lately, including congressional scrutiny, and some banks, like JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America are cutting back.
Still the American banking association defends the practice this way.
Clearly, uh consumers who pay overdraft fees are the minority, and that number's shrinking.
Uh more importantly, uh most consumers want banks to pay their overdraft so that they can avoid the inconvenience, embarrassment, and potential cause of having a payment of transaction rejected, said Nessa Fedus, ABA senior federal.
But a new report underscores just how much financial institutions are profiting from these fees and how much they hurt average Americans.
Ah, I remember the good old days when it was ATM fees.
Now it's overdraft fees.
The Center for Responsible Lending says that banks and credit unions collected nearly twenty-four billion in overdraft fees last year, an increase of thirty-five percent from just two years earlier.
The explosion in overdraft charges has drained the wallet of as many as fifty-one million Americans whose accounts become overdrawn annually.
And goes on to point out that Americans spend more on overdraft fees than they spend on fresh vegetables.
They also spend more on overdraft fees they spend on cars.
I mean w fresh vegetables.
What point is save what?
They're overdrawn because they don't have any money.
They mean taxed through the roof, other than forty-seven percent of the country, which are showing up in Detroit to pick up stimulus checks from where they don't know the money is emanating.
Uh Jane in Seaside California, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Great to have you here.
Thank you, Rush.
I'm I'm a little nervous.
I've never talked to you before, but um gang violence.
We um I'm out here in in Seaside, California, and where where exactly is Seaside, California?
It's a town above Monterey and two towns below Salinas.
All right, so it's by the sea.
Yes.
Right.
Yes.
Um in Salinas, there's a lot of gang violence.
There's I think there's been twenty-two or twenty-three killings this year.
In Seaside?
What's the population there?
No, no, no.
In Salinas.
Oh, Kalina, Salinas, okay.
In in Salinas.
Um I'm not sure what the population is in Salinas.
I I've just when I first moved out here, I was told, oh, you don't want to go to Salinas.
You'll you'll get shot.
And I just, you know, I go to Vallejo, you get mugged.
It's easier.
I ignored them.
I went I went anyway.
But anyway, the recently we've um our police officers in Salinas and and the government there, the the city is trying to get help from the federal government, and they've pretty much been told you're on your own, you've got to get your money locally.
Exactly.
And this is really ticking me off because we were just talking about this last night, and they they're wanting to pass a one cent sales tax in addition to all the other times they've done it for the city.
No, no, no.
Don't tell me.
They're gonna raise the sales tax to fight youth violence.
Yes.
And gang violence.
Well, that's what they're trying to do.
They're it's going up for a vote in November.
So it's a funding problem.
Yeah.
We're not spending enough somehow to prevent Well, what is the what is the prevention of gang violence act going to what how are we gonna spend that money?
What are we gonna s I mean when you want to go out and prevent violence?
What do you spend money on?
Well, I don't know what they've spent it on before.
Because Apparently it goes I was told last night that it will go basically into some general fund.
Which then I guess the state can get a hold of some of it.
It is really, I I'm I'm not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be on the situation.
I do not want a member of this audience insulting her own intelligence.
I will not put up with that.
You are smarter than you know.
You just it's not reasonable that you should understand the insanity that local and state and federal bureaucracies are doing.
It's perfectly normal and understandable that none of what they do would make sense to you.
My question, okay, a one-cent sales tax to fight gang violence.
What do you spend the money on to fight gang violence?
After school program, after school I don't we already have after school programs?
Don't we already have what do you call them?
Extracurricular events.
Midnight basketball.
I mean, we've done it all.
We've we've we've we've taken the favorite sport of gangs, and we put it at midnight to get them on a basketball court.
We had a hundred thousand new cops with Clinton.
We've done it all.
And the problem still is out of control.
Liberalism doesn't work.
I'm gonna tell you what.
If they're gonna raise the sales tax in this little town, Salinas, California, wherever you're talking about, if they're gonna raise one cent sales tax to handle gang violence, then the money ought to go to the purchase of bulletproof vests for the law-abiding citizens when they leave their homes.
I'm checking the emails and people, you know, you better rethink this business on the swine flu shot, the uh H1N1 virus.
You better.
We have here a created crisis, a manufactured crisis.
And this crisis started last spring.
And it was gonna be dead.
It was gonna be bad.
We were we were we we we were gonna let people out, it's gonna be horrible.
And then nothing much came of it.
And then in the middle of this summer, the administration said, It's coming back this fall, and it's gonna be worse than ever.
You better get the shot.
Now, Sibelius, you must take this vaccine.
Manufactured, manufactured chaos and crisis.
I've heard of people getting the H1N1 virus.
Some people have succumbed to it, but some people succumb to all flu every year.
Most people, it's three days and they're out of there.
Let me tell you about something far more helpful.
It's called Zycam.
Zygam cold remedy.
You're much more likely to catch a cold, especially this is cold season starting now, and it's all these chilly temperatures, record lows, record snowfalls.
I mean, it's it's ripe out there.
Zycom Zygamp Cold Remedy, the minute you think you're getting a cold, itchy throat running, the minute you think so, you've got to take it.
You can't wait long.
You gotta have it with you at all times.
It doesn't just mask symptoms, it actually reduces the time you're sick with the cold if you catch it early.
It can be the difference between just uh appearing better and actually being at your best.
New cold remedy plus Zygam comes in a liquilaz form that reduces the duration of a cold, plus it helps you leave a sore throat.
Bunch of flavors and so forth.
It really works.
Zycam, you can be your best.
That's what you need to have on hand.
And I'm telling you, you must.
There, how do you like that?
You must have Zygam.
Damn straight.
All right, who's next?
Oh.
I remember when I went to first grade, when I was uh set off to the first grade, didn't want to go.
I knew it was gonna be prison.
I knew I wasn't gonna like it.
Uh you know, I had no choice, I had to go.
Parents wanted me out of the house, couldn't blame them.
My brother was still rapping around, you know, he's two years younger than I am, so they still had to deal with one rug rat.
They happily shipped me off.
And I remember first, second, third grade either took a lunch box or a quarter, which bought lunch.
A quarter.
Oh, and I had to take uh a notebook and a pencil.
Everything else, the screw provided.
Well, in Dublin, Ireland, Irish parents struggling to buy school books and uniforms in the face of a deep recession, may now have to worry about sending their children to scrule with a toilet roll as well as a packed lunch.
Pupils at a primary school in the southern county of Cork are being asked to bring their own toilet paper to school to help save money.
It's one of the starkest examples yet of the death of Ireland's Celtic Tiger Economy.
One uh one teacher said, Yeah, I've done a quick tour of the classrooms this morning.
I'd say at least half the pupils have brought their own rolls of toilet paper in.
All Nippon Airlines, a Japanese airline, now says that passengers must eliminate all bodily waste before boarding the plane.
So the plane will be lighter and there will be a smaller carbon footprint.
They need to rename this airplane, ANA All Nippon Airways.
Just add an L to it.
Anal.
You're going to get...
Jeez.
Please.
Who who wants to take a shot at this show next?
Rodney in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, how are you?
Good.
Uh I'm a pediatrician in the Northeast today.
Aha, you're one of these guys that does unnecessary tonselectomies to pad your back pocket.
I heard Obama talk about guys like you.
Yeah, I've done none of those in thirty years.
Oh, then you must be amputating feet under the guise of being a pediatrician.
No, no.
Um the 150 doctors that were in the Rose Garden were very offensive.
He made it sound like we were all supportive of him.
For those hundred and fifty, I can probably bring you a thousand that are opposed to it.
I'm not a member of the AMA or the American Academy of Pediatrics because they don't represent my philosophy.
That was a photo op.
Uh the plane.
Total photo op, even to the point of passing out the white robes.
Most of us don't wear white coats.
In fact, right now I have scrubs on.
Yeah, but the TV doctors do see either white or blue.
That's an installed image.
Right.
Uh, you remember when the surgeon general said that no doctor should make a profit?
I believe that was her that said that several weeks or so ago.
Surgeon general.
You mean the overweight surgeons.
Yeah.
You know, they don't understand.
If I don't make a profit, I can't pay my rent, electric bill, pay my secretary, pay my nurse, my needles, syringes, alcohol pads, vaccines.
I close the door.
Then who's going to take care of everybody?
Well, uh, I'm sure they've thought about that.
Um, and I I think that they just expect you to work because they're gonna be free.
Order you to, yes.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Uh, one other thing before I go, you know, the the Congressman always say that the big drug companies that donate to them that does not influence their votes at all.
Yeah.
Do you know there's a new rule uh from the pharma group that the uh pharmacy representatives no longer can leave me pencils, pens, pads, papers, because that might influence the way I prescribe my medications.
What you mean pharmacy sales people that come into your office?
Right.
They can't leave you those cheap little pocket protectors and the cheap little pens.
Nothing.
They can't.
Because it might influence the scripture, right?
That's right.
You probably throw that stuff away anyway.
It's so cheap.
That's true, but they can't leave anything.
It's not like they're giving away cross pens.
No, they're it you know, they're they're just click big pens and that kind of thing.
