Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, I I just I can't go away for one day without all hell breaking loose.
Well, that is giant mess.
I have to come in here and clean up, but I'm up to the task, folks.
I'm up to the job.
I got in last night at 5:30.
I got the little show prep.
I got to bed at 6:30.
So I'm here on an hour and a half.
You have been warned.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
The telephone number is 800-282.
Well, yeah, the airport was closed again.
The airport was closed from uh from 1230 to 5 a.m. or so.
They're doing runway construction.
It was supposed to end yesterday or Sunday, and so had to go to an alternate destination and drive home the same same thing.
It just at any rate, uh it doesn't matter, folks.
Uh everything's cool, not complaining.
I don't whine like Obama does.
I don't look tired.
Believe well, I'm proud.
I I am, but I've uh I I've done this so many times it's almost uh second nature.
Here's a telephone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882, the email address, Lrushbo at EIB net.com.
Lots popping today.
Dingy Harry with his opt-out public option, which is the biggest scam.
Folks, he just ended up losing Olympia Snow's vote in the process here.
But uh I need to have I need to explain this to you.
There is no opt-out.
Uh even if states vote to opt out, you will not opt out.
Because I'm gonna explain all of this.
This is so much smoke and mirrors.
These people are targeting their own country.
The the Democrat Party and Barack Obama are targeting their own country.
I've got a story here from the uh Sunday uh edition of the New York Times.
And I remember when I first said this, you know, when when Rahmanuel came out and said a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, a crisis uh helps you get things done.
That's when I started saying all of this destruction of the private sector is being done on purpose.
And everybody said, Well, not everybody, but a lot of people, you know, Russia.
I know you think that, but you gotta you gotta tone it down a little bit if you want people to believe it.
I am not gonna tone it down.
The truth is the truth, stark as it might be, and uh and and alarming as it might be, the truth is the truth.
So here's the headline from a story by Robert Pearr of the New York Times on Sunday.
Democrats see a positive in a bad economy.
Duh, here it is in the New York Times, and the New York Times is all happy about this.
They had an editorial saying we need a second stimulus, uh and we need to stimulate government even more than we have.
Democrats say positive in a bad economy.
The bad economy is good for President Obama and Democrats as they try to reinvent the health care system with scant Republican support.
That's the conclusion of many congressional Democrats who say that uh economic insecurity and high unemployment stoke public support for their proposals to guarantee insurance for millions of Americans.
Precisely my point when I remember people getting mad at me for pointing this out.
I said, Look, if your number one objective is health care, and health care in this country is not portable when you can't take it with you when you when you lose a job.
And if everybody's scared to death of dying because everything is gonna kill you, what's the greatest asset you could have if you're Barack Obama?
High unemployment, lots of people without health insurance.
And the Democrats are out there stinking, folks.
They are purposely destroying this country and they love the calamity.
It's good for them.
It is nothing new.
I remember back in the uh sometime in the 90s, it might have been the early 2000s when little Dick Gephardt was uh in the house and the stock market was uh plunging.
I think it was the tech bubble burst, and he said, Yeah, for every hundred-point drop in the stock market, we pick up a seat in the house, and we're all happy about it.
People are just gonna have to come to grips with it at uh at some point.
We'll have some conversation on this Doug Hoffman situation in New York 23.
Uh you know, I was I was minding my own business, and I was happy.
I took the occasion of the weekend to get away from all this, but I couldn't.
I happened to go by a television set and I saw the story that the Republican Party was running ads against Doug Hoffman.
And I said, I hope people, and I don't mean to keep saying this, folks, I really don't.
I said, I hope people remember what I said about the Republican Party and conservatism and how they are trying to drum conservatives out of the party.
It's interesting, too, because the uh Gallup survey, Gallup poll was released yesterday, shows the public's conservatism is at a high water mark.
Forty percent of Americans call themselves conservative.
Thirty-six percent self-describe themselves as moderates, and twenty percent are liberals.
And yet everybody seems obsessed with these moderates.
Everybody seems obsessed with going out and getting moderates and independents and so forth.
And you look at what happens in New York 23, and by the way, there are people mischaracterizing this, something I've got to spend some time on today.
This is not a what it's this is not a third party type race.
People are are looking at this, say we rush, we need third party.
This is a Doug Hoffman's proving.
No, we don't.
We need to retake the Republican Party.
That's what has to happen.
Look, the Liberals didn't go out and form a third party, they just took over the Democrat Party.
And we need to take over the Republican Party.
That's a third party's guaranteed loss.
Uh, no two ways about it.
Afghanistan, it is just amazing.
Obama is out there saying he was at uh Jacksonville yesterday at uh at a at a Navy base that I will not risk your lives until it's absolutely necessary.
What the hell?
I I I can't remember a more irresponsible, ridiculous statement from anyone, much less a commander in chief in my life.
I won't risk your lives unless it's absolutely necessary, and if it is necessary, we'll back you up to the hilt.
When's it not when is it gonna be necessary?
Are we waiting on General Swifty Carrie to come over and then tell us when it's okay?
We've already had a prominent military man resign over our lack of direction and focus and uh even a strategy in uh Afghanistan.
Uh in the real world, in the real world, it's over for a president who makes this kind of statements.
Uh we have parents and spouses of those people serving in the military.
Can you imagine a family member of somebody serving in Afghanistan?
And the and the commander-in-chief says, I won't risk your lives unless it's absolutely necessary.
Whose lives are risk being risked now and for what they are being asked.
I know the highest casualty toll in Afghanistan today, and we've got to wait for health care.
We've got to wait for General John Swifty Kerry, who served in Vietnam to tell us when the time is right.
Where's Hillary Clinton, by the way?
How come all these people going over there doing foreign policy get Biden over there making a mess of things on the missile thing?
You know, oh I shouldn't say it.
I really shouldn't say it.
Joe Joe Joe Biden is the single single.
I don't think I should say it.
I'll tell you, I'll say it, and then you guys tell me we got 40 seconds to beep it.
Right?
We got 40 seconds to bleep it if you judge it's a little too far.
All right.
Everybody on board with me here.
Here we go.
Joe Biden is the let me put it this way.
I don't want anything to ever happen to Barack Obama, but especially because Biden is number two.
How's that?
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
Everybody, uh Mike, I need to hear from you on this.
Breathing, okay, that passes.
Okay, so we don't need to uh to bleep that.
I won't risk your lives until it's absolutely necessary.
And if it's necessary, we'll back you to the hilt.
Well, they're not, he's not backing the people who are already there to the hilt.
He's not back, and you remember all the garbage Bush got for the uh Humvees that weren't properly armored up and all this.
Good gosh, folks, it is a it's just an absolute mess.
Eight U.S. troops die in Afghan blast.
October now, the deadliest month for American forces in the eight-year war.
Um, also from the New York Times, NATO backs McChrystal on Afghanistan.
Endorsement comes as Obama weighs whether To add more troops.
Obama's dithering.
He's played more golf in nine months than Bush played in three years.
And the media, there's a story today how happy they are.
He finally went out and played golf with a woman.
So he's broken down the sex barrier, some such thing.
Great, great progress.
President's going out and played golf with a woman.
He coordinates his attack on Fox News.
He tries to recruit private businesses to ambush the Chamber of Commerce.
Have you heard about this?
Valerie Jarrett was sent out there to a bunch of businesses and said, You look at uh you guys got to pressure the chamber on this.
And the chamber came back and said, Look, you think we're going away just because a couple shots have been fired.
It's time to put on the helmets and get in gear.
People are finally standing up to this little boy, this little man-child president, whose primary, I think, his primary uh job, if you will, in life has been leisure.
This guy is practiced at leisure more than anything else.
So he's he's out to ambushing the chamber, he's nuking doctors, but he has no time for Afghanistan.
No time for Afghanistan whatsoever.
But boy, I won't risk your lives until it's absolutely necessary.
And if it is necessary, we'll back you to the hilt.
He's golfing, he's attacking private businesses here at home.
NATO's had plenty of time to figure out that McCristol has the right plan for Afghanistan.
Oh, and the global warming news, folks, it is just absurd.
It it's did I here's another thing I saw.
I guess this was uh Saturday.
I was out in Las Vegas.
And it was Saturday, and I'm I took a quick peek at the Drudge page, and there's this thing, I don't even remember the some global warming link, and I clicked on the link, and I got to that story.
It was the UK Daily Express.
And there's a story there with a headline two people have written a book uh about how dogs do more damage to the environment than an SUV.
So I clicked on that link.
I ignored the drudge link.
I clicked and I said, What internation is this?
And I uh I have details of that coming up.
It just and then this this uh Lord, whatever it is, Lord Fauntleroy's out there saying, Stop eating beef, the only way to save the planet planet.
I mean, the extremism of these people is on full display everywhere.
Now there's a story here that the uh the uh the uh Copenhagen people, the UN people are very depressed now that they might not get any kind of a significant uh uh deal in uh in December because the U.S. Congress is dithering uh and members of the U.S. Congress, yeah, we're not even gonna get to this this year.
The uh climate change cleck crack clap and whatever it is, trade.
Yeah, clap and tax, crap and uh cap and tax.
So we're not even gonna now before we go to the breakout.
Look, I gotta I gotta no, I'll do it after the break, but uh crap and tax, whatever it is.
Now, I I have to I have to tell you this this thing that happened Friday on this program with Obama's thesis.
It has been hilarious to watch the media cover this.
I get two sound bites as an example.
It is stunning to me how closed-minded, narrowed their world is, how absolutely ignorant they are.
And I I'm not questioning their intelligence, but that's next.
They're just ignorant and they they still have no sense of humor.
Wait till you hear these two sound bites.
One is from uh 1010 wins in uh in New York, the all news station, and the other is from this blubbering, blathering, increasingly idiotic Chris Matthews.
All that coming up and much more right after this.
Okay, as always, it is up to me to provide context for the people who claim to be professional journalists and aware of everything.
Now, the the setup for this, of course, is that I was libeled and slandered by countless members of the media, fabricated quotes, made up quotes, I never stated, never uttered, never wrote, nothing, were repeated all over this country by sports writers, television cable hosts, and so forth.
After we proved to them that I didn't do it, they retracted it a week later after the damage, and many of them said it still is a matter.
We know Limbaugh thinks it anyway.
We know Limbaugh thinks so last Friday, I get a note from a friend who says, Well, you ought to see what's on this blog, and I looked at it and is it Obama.
Uh the the stesis uh from Columbia's so-called founders uh didn't really like what they did with the Constitution or what enough talk about distribution of wealth and so forth.
And I said, Well, this has a ring of truth to it because we've got Obama on radio from Chicago 2001 complaining about the Supreme Court not doing enough about redistribution.
So we ran with it, made a big deal out of it in the first hour.
In the second hour, I got a note saying, hey, Rush, we look at this.
We can't back this up.
We can't find any actual sourcing for this.
So at that point, I warned the audience that it may not be true that we are still checking it.
Shortly thereafter, I learned that the whole thing was made up.
It was a satire piece on an obscure website.
And then I said, okay, folks, I have to tell you it's satire.
It didn't, it there's no evidence that Obama ever wrote this.
But media tweak of the day, I don't care.
I know he thinks it anyway.
Because I've got audio of Obama saying it, talking about the Supreme Court.
And we all got a great laugh about it because I corrected it immediately.
I explained that it was a hoax or was satire, and then to tweak the media, I said, but I don't care.
I'm sticking with it.
Because I know he thinks it anyway.
So I dished out to Obama what the whole media did to me, and I dished it back at the media as well.
And Coco at the website called me on Friday here, emailed me, said, Look, it you want me to leave this thing up as it I said, yes, leave it on the website as is, so these idiot media people who want to find out what actually happened can go and take the time to read it and see it.
And leave the original piece up where I got the uh the first information that this is uh something he had written in his thesis.
So here is yesterday morning, Monday morning, 1010 wins in New York, a montage of correspondent Alice Stockton Rossini's report about this.
When Rush Limbaugh discovers a hoax, he corrects it immediately.
So what?
He spent a good part of his Friday broadcast gloating over an internet story about how a Time magazine reporter got a hold of the president's college thesis, and in it he disses the Constitution.
So what?
The story was fake.
When Limbaugh realized the report was fake, he didn't say sorry, not even oops.
He insisted the fabricated theses is still in line with what the president thinks.
How does he know?
Because, says Limbaugh, he's heard Obama say it.
A transcript of the Friday broadcast is still at the top of Limbaugh's webpage.
The headline, Obama's disdain for the Constitution.
We know he thinks it, don't we?
But being Rush Limbaugh means never having to say you're sorry.
When Limbaugh realized the story was satire, he admitted the report was a fake, then added, for good comedy to be comedy, it must contain an element of truth.
I continue to be amazed, and I marvel at how easy it is to make these people look like fools.
She even says she went to my website.
All of this because I didn't say I'm sorry.
I I don't know that I've gotten one apology from anybody in the media about using fabricated quotes attributed to me.
They just are so I that they live in such a narrow world, they are so unaware of what is really going on.
I continue to be marveling at the fact that they don't really know what happens in our world, folks.
But we know everything about their world because we study them and we research them.
And we don't read fake websites quoting what media said.
We listen to them.
It pains us, it's frustrating as hell, but we do it.
Here's Chris Matthews last night on Hardball.
Rush didn't realize it was a joke and broadcast the thesis story Friday as evidence that the president is, quote, anti-constitutionalist.
Later in that same show, Rushbow was told that the story was a hoax.
Did he correct the record?
Not exactly.
But we know he thinks it.
Good comedy to be comedy must contain an element of truth, and we know how he feels about distribution of wealth, so we stand by the fabricated quote because we know Obama thinks it anyway.
You can't beat that.
Did you hear that?
Rush stands by the hoax because he told his ditto heads a hoax contains truth.
Well, it takes a true ditto head to register on that one.
These people he has no clue that I am saturodying what happened to me.
That he participated in.
He participated in.
I don't think uh I've gotten an apology from Matthews on this, so we stand by the fabricated quote.
I don't know, folks, it's fun.
It's just did he correct the regular shout from the mountaintops of element truth?
We know how he feels about distribution.
We do know how he feels about it.
So we stand by the fabricated quote.
Which is exactly what happened to me.
I just I don't know.
I'm I'm out of words to describe the the insular world uh and the utter, utter lack of a sense of humor that uh that these people have, particularly where Obama is concerned.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan for God.
Um folks, I'm beginning to think that it just isn't fair.
And this is a country that still values fair play.
I'm thinking it just isn't fair for me to take advantage of the media's lack of critical thinking skills and their inability to uh recognize hypocrisy.
Yeah, I mean the media tweak of the day may it may be abusive.
They they're they're this the it's it's it's like it's like picking on children.
And nobody finds that attractive.
About this headline from Rasmussen.
Now, one is this headline an accident.
Try this.
Americans in no rush for flu shots despite swine flu outbreak.
Now, wasn't it last week that the manchild president declared a national emergency over this?
Now you would think that if there were still a whole bunch of uh national cult like followers of Obama, that there would have been a mad dash to get vaccinated.
President Obama may have declared a swine flu national emergency, but the number of Americans who plan to get a flu shot virtually unchanged from a year ago.
A new Rasmussen reports national phone survey finds that 53% of adults plan to get a flu shot this year.
Forty percent do not intend to get a flu shot, which is a good thing because there's there's a shortage of the stuff.
All right, here's Dingy Harry yesterday afternoon at a press conference in Washington.
The best way to move forward is include a public option with the opt-out provision for states.
Under this concept, states will be able to determine whether the public option works well for them and will have the ability to opt out if they so choose.
Believe that a public option can achieve the goal of bringing meaningful reform to our broken system, will protect consumers, keep insurers honest, ensure competition, and that's why we intend to include it in the bill that we submitted and will be submitted to the Senate.
All right, now he's provided nothing specific.
This is typical.
He's he's he's come up with uh a theory on this uh public option state opt-out, and he sent it over to the CBO to have it scored.
I don't trust the CBO for one thing, but that's not the point about this.
I want to reiterate again that there will no way be any possibility you can opt out of a public option.
And there's no way your governor or your state legislature or assembly will be able to opt out of it either.
And I'm going to explain why.
As a side illustration, do you recall uh when Jimmy Carter declared a national speed limit of 55 miles an hour, and states could opt- you don't remember that?
Well, okay, I'll tell you.
Jimmy Carter declared that that's what a 55-mile an hour speed limit got.
He declared it, and there was a state opt-out.
Now the uh the catch 22 was that if states opted out, they lost all federal highway funds.
They lost uh any participation.
That but that's that's uh uh a side point, but this is much worse than that.
Here is the truth.
The citizens of this country, regardless of what state they live in, will have to pay for, that is, subsidize through taxes and higher private insurance policy costs that the public option the government will set up.
No citizen will be able to opt out of that, whether you are an employer or an employee or on your own.
The the this it's an illusion.
You're gonna pay for it no matter what.
Furthermore, the government's imposition of bankrupting regulations on private insurance companies are going to put them out of business.
We now know that contrary to what Obama and his people are running around saying that the insurance companies are making obscene profits, the usual pardon me, I hit the microphone there, obscene profits, the usual attack on the business of the day.
We now learn that uh the profits of uh of private health insurers two to three percent.
Even the AP reported that.
They are not flush with money.
They are not among the most profitable business in the nation.
They're nowhere near it.
What's gonna happen?
What everybody seems to forget, this is and you know, Pelosi's out there saying, you know, we're public option a bad word.
We need to change a term.
We're gonna call it competitive option.
That's even worse.
Because the objective of the public option is to drive private health care insurance out of business.
And there are a number of ways that will happen.
And and Dingy Harry's latest sleight of hand is uh is one of them.
Here's how it's gonna work.
These regulations, these these regulations that will bankrupt insurance companies that will be imposed on them, will consist of compelling private companies to take all comers.
Private insurance companies will have to insure everybody, including those who are gonna have a heart attack tomorrow and die.
They're gonna have to take them when they have not purchased insurance earlier.
Only when they need a major operation or an expensive drug.
Now, the by compelling these companies to do that, they are going to destroy the ability of any private entity to protect its other customers who have acted responsibly and purchased insurance when they were not sick.
So the people who again play by the rules, follow what they're supposed to do, are gonna be paying for the insurance policies of people who sign up at the first sign they got to get a big operation or need an expensive drug or what have you.
The government will set benefit requirements for the insurance agency.
They will set price limits.
It's all of this is in the legislation.
It's there are five bills, and all of this is in the five bills that are being discussed.
The government's gonna set benefit requirements, price limits, meaning they're gonna tell the insurance companies how much they cannot charge for this.
Uh basically do whatever it wants to with private insurers.
The purpose is to destroy them.
Obama, Chuck Yu Schumer, have all but said so.
With their with their support for single payer and government-run plans.
Obama has said it over the years.
We've had it on tape.
We've aired it a number of times.
Public option, single payer.
That's his objective.
That's what he tells his buddies.
It may take five, ten years to get there, but that's what his objective is.
Schumer said the same thing.
Barney Frank's out there saying, we want a bigger role for government in virtually everything.
We have this soundbite coming up.
If any of you think that you're going to have an option to get out of the public option, forget it.
There's going to be nowhere to go.
Private insurance is going to be put out of business.
It is going to be regulated out of business.
They're already a profit margin is two to three percent.
And these new these new regulations that are that are going to be imposed on them.
It's all designed to run them out of business and force everybody over to the public option.
Meaning the government.
So the plan, the plan is to force citizens of states who do not participate in the government option to subsidize those who do, making it nearly impossible for any governor to say, I will not allow my citizens to participate in the federal insurance program, and to eliminate private insurers in a few years' time, which makes the government option the only option available in the end.
This is a cynical, sinister, duplicitous scam, and it's happening not because of the Republicans.
It's happening because the Democrats are losing their far-left wing base by saying there isn't going to be a public option.
So now they're trying to make it sound like, okay, we'll put a public option in, but you can opt out.
You can't opt out.
You're going to be paying for it one way or the other.
And eventually there is going to only be the public option, meaning the government.
That's why they're doing the folks common sense.
The only reason they're reforming health care is to put the government in charge of it ultimately.
You have to ignore all of this talk about opting out of the public option.
You have to ignore the the uh sales technique.
Well, the public option, uh, Mr. Limbo is just there to uh remember and to competition.
It is to eliminate competition.
You cannot, you will not be able to opt out of paying higher premiums and taxes to subsidize the government plan.
You can only opt out of making the government plan available to your state citizens, and by wiping out private insurance, who's gonna opt out in the end?
And look, even conservative governors will have no choice.
They'll have to relent because of the elimination of private alternatives in their states by the federal government.
So any so-called moderate democrat who votes for this is voting for a single-payer government-run health care system while cynically pretending to their constituents that they are not.
And I say again to you, blue dog Democrats, you better pay attention to what's happening here because you can't vote for this, any form of it, and go back to your districts next November's, hey, I'm fiscally conservative.
I voted to opt out of the public option, right?
But you vote for this, you are voting for single-payer national health care and a bankrupted country.
Well, a further bankrupted country.
Meanwhile, predictably, the dunces in the liberal media are reporting this as a grand compromise offered by the great compromiser himself, Dingy Harry.
So they continue to carry the left's water on this.
So much for that.
Uh by the way, Newsweek in a blog today say uh reads public option, uh, not exactly uh uh a shoe in.
Uh there will be no opting out.
Uh it's these people are just I don't know.
Sometimes it does get to me.
It the you know, one of the things that's most frustrating to me is is stupidity, ignorance among intelligent people, the lack of critical thinking, lap dog sycophants, brown nosers, apple polishers.
Now, Elizabeth McCoy, who did yeoman work in destroying Hillary care, has uh been paying a lot of attention to this.
And she has peace today in the New York Post treating seniors as clunkers.
Everyone knows that if you don't pay to maintain and repair your car, you limit its life.
The same is true as human beings' age.
We need medical care to avoid becoming clunkers, disabled, worn out, parked in wheelchairs or nursing homes for nearly a half century.
Medicare has enabled seniors to get that care, but Obamacare is about to change that by limiting what doctors can provide their aging patients.
Are you sitting down?
The Senate Finance Committee Healthcare Bill, the Baucus bill, released last week, controls doctors by cutting their pay if they give older patients more care than the government deems appropriate, can you say, death panels?
It's right there, Section 300 parentheses B, page 683, punishes doctors who land in the 90th percentile or above on what they provide for seniors on Medicare by withholding 5% of their compensation.
So the government is going to uh determine how much care older patients can get.
If a doctor exceeds that, he gets his compensation cut five percent, and I assume it won't end there.
Now, this this withhold provision is going to force doctors to choose between treating their patients and avoiding government penalties.
HMOs used the same cost-cutting device in the early 90s until it was deemed dangerous to patients and outlawed, but now lawmakers want to use it against the most vulnerable patients, the elderly.
Now, this is as I read this, I'm just uh speculating here.
It sounds like the government's very sensitive here to this death panel stuff, so the finance committee is going to make the Doctors, the death panel.
Even though the government is actually inspiring this kind of behavior.
I gotta take a quick break here, folks.
We'll be back and continue.
There's more after this.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have the CBO.
Which I don't trust for a moment.
The CBO just said that 12 million people would sign up for the public option.
Twelve million people would sign up for the public option.
More like 83 million will be forced into the public option.
By the way, uh ladies and gentlemen, I think they need to send Obama into New Jersey to help out John Corzine.
Uh latest Rasmussen reports has uh Chris Christie up three points, 46 to 43 over Corzine.
This is uh C wouldn't this uh uh yeah, I guess today.
This came out today, and a final battleground Virginia poll.
I mean, this this this is if this holds up, this is not just a win, this is a blowout.
Uh McDonald, Bob McDonald now has a 17-point lead over Cree Deeds 58 to 41.
I saw another poll that said 5137.
Uh, but this is the battleground poll.
This is uh Celinda Lake and uh Ed Goaz, a Republican, she's the Democrat.
Uh so much of those commercials Obama cut for deeds, which were really about Obama, not Deeds.
And in New York 23, real clear politics, Doug Hoffman plus five.
Doug Hoffman may in fact win this with nowhere near the amount of money that the two Democrats have.
I know there's a Democrat call a Republican, but you actually have two liberal Obama Democrats, one calling herself a Republican, and you've got the Reagan conservative Hoffman in there.
Um and Tim Pellenty threw in with him today, by the way.
So you've had Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, uh uh Rick Santorum, uh who else?
Uh I mentioned Sarah Palin.
Yeah.
Sue Collins endorsed Republicans.
So why is that a surprise?
New Oh, Susan Collins is oh, really, that that's gonna sway a lot of votes.
Susan Collins from Maine, who endorsed uh Skazefava.
You know the Republican Party is I I really do not know what Newt Gingrich was thinking.
Maybe he hasn't gotten over the budget battle of 1995.
I maybe.
I don't know.
Uh, but this is stunning.
What is that?
I I I blew my gas.
I I ruined two hours of my day when I saw that the Republican Party was running ads against Hoffman.

The Republican Party has a death wish.
Gallup, 40% of Americans now say they are conservative.
20% say they're liberal, 36% say they're moderates.

The conservatives, the the the the it's it's worse than I thought.
I thought this was just based on elitism and Northeast uh moderate liberalism and embarrassment of the uh people that the social issues attract to the party.

But with this with this show, with what they're doing in this room rush, party loyalty is party loyalty, and the uh the local Republican committee up there has endorsed Skazafaba.
So I mean uh the part.
Yeah, if if they it's with conservatism on the ascendancy here.
Uh I'm not saying the two parties are the same, and they're still I guess I need to amend it a little bit, but man, I'm when when I saw that that Roman ads, I said, this is I just as I say, ruined two hours of my day.
I've still.
All right, folks, we'll get to your phone calls in the uh in the next hour.
Really getting beat up in an email over my uh third-party stance here.
I'm gonna I'm gonna try to explain to you why this is not a third-party example uh uh what's happening in New York 23.
Did you see this?
CNN drops to last place among cable news networks.
CNN is the outfit that invented cable news, right?
