Time Text
No, you tell them, you tell them that I'll get back to them after the show.
I am sick and tired of everybody wanting everything between noon and three.
There are 21 other hours in the day.
Oh, you tell them I'm not gonna tell them, I'm working.
Jeez, I'm sorry, folks.
How are you?
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
What am I doing here?
Eating French fries and reading a paper?
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
The email address, Lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com and check in an email during the break.
And I got a bunch of people.
They may be seminar emailers, but I don't think all of them are.
And there's a there's a general theme among uh some of the emails I said Rush, this Reagan stuff.
Listen to those those clips you played of Reagan and Reagan.
He's talking about the Soviet Union.
He's talking about tyranny and communism around the world and the Soviet Union's gone, Rush.
And what things that Reagan was for focused on, why why it's old?
We have to have a new set of policies in prison.
So okay.
I'm glad you sent me those notes, giving me an opportunity to explain to you why you're wrong.
Let's go back and listen to audio soundbite number four, Ronaldus Magnus, October 27, 1964, a televised campaign address for Barry Goldwater.
We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the iron curtain, give up your dreams of freedom.
Because to save our own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your slave masters.
Alexander Hamilton said a nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master and deserves one.
Now let's set the record straight.
There's no argument over the choice between peace and war.
But there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace, and you can have it in the next second.
Surrender.
Now, this is the soundbite that the people were reacting to in the email.
There Reagan is 40 years old, 45 years ago, Russia can't talk about it.
Let me uh present my view of this.
Let's go back not to 1964, but let's go back to 1960.
That election featured Richard Nixon, the incumbent vice president against John Kennedy.
Do you remember how close that election was?
Razor thin, it came down to the dead vote in Chicago.
And there's some chicanery in West Virginia.
And Nixon could have contested it, but he decided for the good of the country he would concede the next day.
Why was that election so close?
Back in 1960, both candidates agreed on fundamental issues.
Both candidates agreed that national security and keeping this country safe from foreign enemies was paramount.
Both candidates agreed.
When it came to domestic policy, don't forget John Kennedy predated Reagan in tax cuts.
Hubert Humphrey, who was also a presidential contender in that era, and we've played the soundbites of this way long time ago on this radio show.
Hubert Humphrey talking about a civil rights bill said if it's got quotas in it, I ain't signing it.
He was he was considered a liberal democrat in those days.
John Kennedy was considered a liberal democrat in those days.
And we all remember his inauguration speech, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
The reason that election was so close was because there wasn't much disagreement on the big things between the two candidates.
Now, it is 49 years later.
49 years later, and we have no more Soviet Union threat.
We've got Russia rebuilding itself in the image of the KGB.
We still have Castro and uh whatever he's doing, Hugo Chavez on the march.
Uh the Chikoms Still communist, but opening the free market, they have all the money in the world.
But more important, these two parties today do not even agree on national security.
One of our political parties today advocates for the defeat of this country.
We have now elected a president.
We may not have a Soviet threat, but we have a communist threat.
It was all about keeping communism out of this country.
1960, Reagan, Nixon, Kennedy, it was all about keeping communism out of this country.
JFK didn't want a communist country.
Now we have an administration with members saying their favorite philosopher is Mao Tseitong.
Next we're going to learn that somebody else in this administration admires Joseph Stalin.
We have avowed Marxists, self-proclaimed communists, in this administration.
This country has moved so far and gone in that well, the left in this country has gone so far left since where from where it was in 1960.
Reagan was exactly right.
If you think that the era of Reagan is over simply because the external threat of communism in the Soviet Union was beat down, you missed the whole point.
Reagan was talking about tyranny, liberty, freedom.
It's always threatened.
It always has to be fought for.
It has to be earned.
What's happened now is we're not fighting the Soviet Union, we're fighting the Democrat Party.
We're fighting the American left.
We are now fighting to save our own country from itself.
We are fighting within our own country to preserve our freedom.
Reagan was exactly right.
This is why the era of Reagan will never be over, because it is the era of our founding.
It is the era of individual freedom, American exceptionalism.
It is this is these are crucial times, and it's we're we are in the in an ascendancy here in uh in in winning this battle, at least in the hearts and minds of the American people, which I've always believed is where it starts.
So not only is the era of Reagan not over, and not only is Reagan passe, Reagan is as relevant as ever, and it is more important than ever that people heed the warnings that he, and by the way, I grew up hearing that same stuff from my father.
You know, people that lived through the Great Depression, that women that fought in World War II, Korea and all that, uh, and they remember Khrushchev coming over to the UN and you know, banging his uh his shoe on the desk, claiming that uh it will bury you, your grandchildren will be ours, and so forth.
I mean, they took it seriously.
Both parties, they fought it back.
Now, something happened after the assassination of JFK.
That is where I think the modern left really started gaining its ascendancy, which is amazing because it was a leftist communist who assassinated JFK.
But that gave birth to Lyndon Johnson, a massive leftist.
I mean, it was always bubbling under the surface.
It was always, you know, we always had Hollywood leftists and communists, and you always had uh I mean, we used to have a House on American Activities Committee.
Do you know that?
In the House of Representatives, we had a House on American Activities Committee.
Uh we had, you know, academia was left, but it really started marching full speed ahead in the 60s after the assassination of JFK, and it has not stopped.
And the things that Ronald Reagan warned us about have happened.
Well, they're in the process of happening.
You in in in 2008, in our presidential election, we had a a war veteran, Vietnam War veteran, John McCain, against uh an elitist five-minute career senator of 150 days.
That senator was running as a Democrat and had actively sought the defeat of the U.S. military in Iraq and actively sought to undermine General Petraeus, Who was the author of the surge that led to a turnaround in Iraq and a victory?
And now that same man is dithering in Afghanistan while American soldiers, not Bush soldiers and not Obama soldiers, American soldiers are dying.
At record numbers.
The threat that people in this country who want to be free face is now within our own borders.
That's the stark reality.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Rush, what is a whip?
You said that the uh the uh Democrat whip in the house leaked uh the document, the whip document was what's a whip?
Yeah, it's a good question.
We sometimes uh assume that people understand some things that uh that they don't.
Every every party, both parties in the House representatives have a vote counter.
Uh, this is a person in it's an office, it's an official called the whip.
Uh Tom DeLay at one time was the whip in the Republican Party, and that's how he got the name, the hammer.
Because the whip whips up the vote.
The whip runs around and makes sure that the leadership gets the votes, the number of votes it needs and wants on any issue.
And what this leaked document shows is that the whip cannot whip them all into action.
They are uh 47 votes, definite no, eight leaning no total of 56 no on the House version of health care.
And so the whip says I've done all a whip and I can whip.
And now it's up to you people in a leadership to get in gear here and start putting a fear of God into some of these people because I, the whip, and that's James Clevern, by the way.
James Kleiber's the whip, and he's also in the Congressional Black Caucus.
So it means it means exactly what it is.
Run around, just whip people upside the head to make sure you get their vote.
You browbeat them, you persuade them, you offer whatever it takes.
You whip them into action.
Now, can being laid off really make you better off?
As the Great Recession continues to devour jobs at an alarming rate.
Wait a minute, I thought the recession was I thought other jobs are coming back here.
I thought there's so many the state control media cannot even get its templates straight anymore.
As the Great Recession continues to devour jobs at an alarming rate, tales are legion about the millions of unemployed struggling to write their lives and recover their self-esteem.
But what happens to those left behind?
Well, it surprised you to learn that survivors can suffer just as much, if not more, than colleagues who get laid off.
It certainly surprised a team of academic researchers who embedded themselves at Boeing from 1996 to 2006, a tumultuous decade during which the company laid off tens of thousands of people.
The results of the study will appear next year in a Yale University Press book called Turbulence, Boeing and the State of American Workers and Manager.
Sarah Moore, a University of Puget Sound Industrial Psychology professor, one of the book's four authors, said how much better off the laid off were was stunning and shocking to us.
How much better off the laid off were was stunning and shocking to us.
In the greatest surprise of all, the researchers discovered that the people who had been laid off often were happier than those left behind.
Many had new jobs, even if they didn't always pay as well.
Now, this book's not coming out till next year.
Isn't the timing of this little release on it fascinating?
As unemployment continues to skyrocket, and approval numbers for Obama continue to plunge, and a deeper suspicion of President Obama continues to surface.
State-controlled media gets in gear and say, hey, Obama is so smart.
Obama is so wonderful.
Obama is so good that you may be better off if you lose a job.
When Obama is president, it may actually be better off for you.
From Friday, July 17, 2009.
A similar story.
Recession lesson, share and swap replaces grab and buy.
The recession is reminding Americans of a lesson.
This from the Washington Post, by the way, that they learned in childhood.
Share and share alike.
They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent.
It's a wonderful thing.
Look at what being laid off is helping you to become a better person.
Having no job, being laid off is teaching you how to be a better person.
Isn't Obama wonderful?
That's the subtext of all of this.
I guarantee you that if we faced 10% unemployment under George W. Bush, there wouldn't be one story on the happiness of the laid off.
It would be headlines and in-depth stories daily about the misery of living in Bush's America.
People ask me all the time, Rush, you'll tell us when it's time to panic, right?
I say, yeah, and it's not time to panic.
But I have just finished a column by Thomas Sowell.
That strikes me as somewhat remarkable.
There should not be any doubt with Americans interested in the truth about who Barack Obama is and what he represents, it's become clear, surreal clear.
Dr. Thomas Sowell, a brilliant, accomplished man, a distinguished gentleman, when distinguished gentlemen, distinguished Americans such as Thomas Sowell think and write, as he has in his latest column.
It's time to stop gathering evidence concerning Obama's character and do anything within the boundaries of the law to stop his agenda.
Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a cabinet member confirmed by the Senate, but simply one of many czars appointed by the president could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private business by 50 to 90%?
Would you have believed that just one year ago?
Just one year ago, did you think another czar would be talking about restricting talk radio?
There would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers, that is to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish.
Just one year ago, did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called experts deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments just one year ago?
Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it's also chilling from the standpoint of freedom.
If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about you or your loved ones?
Does any of this sound like America?
How about a federal agency giving schoolchildren material to enlist them on the side of the president?
Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough.
How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path?
President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries.
We already have local police forces all across the country, military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies.
What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama with all its leaders appointed by him?
You would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American.
How far the president will go depends, of course, on how much resistance he meets.
But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin.
Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to change the United States of America, the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their own hostility to the values, the principles, and the people of this country.
Jeremiah Wright said it with words, God bleep America.
Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted.
Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.
Among the people appointed as Tsars by President Obama have been people who have been praising enemy dictators like Mao Tse Tung, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children no less.
Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely.
Why should we assume that Obama didn't know what such People were like when he's been associating with precisely these kind of people for decades before he reached the White House.
Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government.
People who reject American values, resent Americans in general, and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world.
Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like.
Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for who they are.
Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list.
Nothing so epitomizes President Obama's own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year, each bill, more than 1,000 pages long, too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed.
That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up.
Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled piece by piece is another question, and the biggest question for this generation.
That is Dr. Thomas Sowell.
If you don't know Dr. Sowell is African American.
He is at the Hoover Institution on the campus, Stanford University.
Dismantling America is the distinguished generation when he starts writing things this week.
It's time to stop gathering evidence, folks.
The evidence is clear.
It's now time to have the courage to believe the evidence and to take action, which, by the way, has been happening and will continue to happen.
Conservatism in the ascendancy.
We'll be right back.
Don't vanish.
And we'll get back to your phone calls here in just a second.
But, you know, all these stories about how wonderful it is to be laid off during the Obama presidency.
People laid off at Boeing.
Much happier.
Much, much happier.
Maybe Boeing wasn't a good place to work.
Who knows?
But here's um here's a list of recent Washington Post headlines along the same lines.
Michael Gerson, rescinds, a recession's hidden virtues.
Everyone knows a bad economy leads to bad behavior.
Everyone might be wrong.
Recession leads to more people buying seeds, trying to grow their own food.
Recession takes a bite out of snacking.
Everybody getting healthier.
Because of recession, many private colleges admitt more.
Students than usual this year.
Well, hell's bells.
Maybe what we need is perpetual recession.
It could go on for years and years and years so that we can become an even better country.
Look at all the wonderful things that happened during an Obama recession.
It was revealed last week that the Obama daughters had not been vaccinated against the swine flu.
Malia is 11, Sasha is eight.
The White House announced on its website Tuesday that the two daughters in fact got shots and have been vaccinated, got the shots from a White House doctor.
The doctor was not identified.
He applied for and received the vaccine from the city's health department using the same process as every other vaccination site in the District of Columbia, said Katie McCormick, Lelyville, the spokeswoman for First Lady Michelle Obama.
McCormick Lulyville said the president and Mrs. Obama would wait to get their shots until after people in priority groups like children, young adults, and pregnant women have been vaccinated.
Our news that the Obama sisters have received their swine flu shots was likely to raise questions about whether they had been given preferential treatment over...
Oh, really?
Is there some doubt about that?
It also could anger parents who are having difficulty getting shots for their own children because of shortages in the promised vaccine production and the way the vaccine is available and is being distributed.
I will never forget how Hillary would dumped all over Bush over some, what was it, bird flu vaccine in uh 2004.
I forget the year, but I mean it was just relentless how incompetent and so forth.
This is after Hillary had gone after the pharmaceutical companies.
Well, let's go to the audio sound bites.
So the first children got vaccinated in the White House while people are standing in lines around the country, those who want the vaccine to get theirs?
Here's Janet Napolitano and Catholic Sibelius this afternoon in Washington they held a joint press conference.
Here is a portion of Napolitano's remarks.
We know uh people are frustrated by waiting in line and by uncertainty.
Uh and so what we want to do today is uh reset in a way, uh tell you uh where we are in terms of preparation and what we can look forward to over the coming days and weeks as we as a country work our way through this flu outbreak.
We have uh also uh been continuously uh reminding the American people that we are our own best protectors in a way uh by coughing properly, by washing your hands thoroughly, by staying home from school or work if you're exhibiting signs of the flu.
Oh man, the chicken of the U.S. government, Nammy State, Nammy State.
We uh we really continuously remind the American people by coughing properly, by washing your hands thoroughly, by staying home from school or work if you're exhibiting signs of the flu.
But was just yesterday that Sibelius said we're not gonna close the schools even if we have an epidemic here because then children in America will not eat.
And how bit this reset business.
Yeah, what we want to do here is reset in a way to reset, you mean you've got a debacle on your hands, so you're gonna reset it and start over.
It's sort of I remember when John Kerry was being interviewed during the 2004 presidential campaign by CBS.
They asked him a question and he gave a blathering blubbering answer that made no sense.
And the and the producer, you want to take two on that, Senator Kerry, you want to do it over.
Democrats get doovers, Democrats get resets.
Here is Kathleen Sabedius, who says she is saddened.
We are saddened and unhappy about certainly the level of illness and uh deaths caused by H1N1 flu.
And um, as the secretary has just said, share the frustration of Americans who are eager to be vaccinated.
There's no question production started more slowly than anyone would have liked.
Well, yeah, yeah, much slower than anyone liked, and uh we just we boxed it.
We really did, but we're gonna be better about it next time.
We're reset everything now.
So um uh yeah, everything's cool.
These people uh are flaming incompetence.
Um this Alan Grayson guy, this guy must have uh, you know, he I think he is a legitimate ADD.
Attention deficit distortion.
Like this, and I mean it literally.
This guy craves attention.
He can't get enough of it.
He goes out, you know, you call this this uh advisor to the Federal Reserve, Linda Robertson at K Street whore during we had the audio yesterday, I just didn't get to it during an interview last month on a syndicated radio program.
A K Street whore.
He'd have gotten away with it.
He's uh the Mr. Grayson, you uh your Democrat I would think there'd be more up to speed here on pop culture.
The correct and more widely used term is ho.
If you would have said K Street Ho, the National Football League might have asked you to become an owner of one of their teams.
But you went out there and you used the word whore, and we just can't have that.
You next time you're gonna do this, Alan, you go out there and say K Street Ho.
And instead of everybody shocked, they'll laugh at you and they'll think you're a pop culture icon.
All right, to the phones.
We'll go to Grand Rapids, Michigan first.
Jack, uh, thank you for calling.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, Rush.
Uh what an honor it is to talk to you.
I know you hear that a lot, but uh I gotta tell you I've listened to you for so many years, and uh I just uh I value you and and listening to you and value your opinion.
Thank you.
You know, one as I'm listening and and have been listening to you, Rush, um, about you know the state of our country, everything else.
My my first question is what do you think is gonna happen in the 2010 election?
I mean, are the American people really gonna get it and finally start voting for the people, the Republicans hopefully that that uh not only say what they believe and and uh but actually get to get to the get to the Washington and and actually do what they say they believe.
I'm Well, now wait.
You're asking me two different things.
You're asking me, will the American people vote a certain way in 2010, and then will people they elect go to Washington do the right thing.
Well, I'm so tired of them saying they're going to do these things, Russ.
I'm a I'm of the opinion that I want to just see all the incumbents just vote it out.
Start over.
Yeah.
Including Hatch and all these other long stallers of the Republican Party.
Russ, one one one thing, I just I don't mean to interrupt, but when I listened to uh hatch speak at Kennedy's funeral and and talk about he and uh Kennedy bantering back and forth, and then Kennedy came up and said, Hey, how'd I do?
You know, and all you did good.
It's it's like the good old boys club of Washington.
And it just turned my stomach when I listened to a Republican speak like that.
Like, you know, we're we're psyching out the American people, aren't we?
Good job.
Uh well, I I I think how how'd I do, I think that's just um you know, sometimes even I, who always know how I do, will ask people, so how was that?
Was that okay?
Not did I fool them, but was I good enough?
But that's a different thing.
They the collegiality of the Senate is what you're commenting on here.
Uh and it's no secret that Hatch and Kennedy were friends.
I mean, they did they they just were.
Now, I understand your larger point is that people get elected campaigning for various specific things to go to Washington and somehow get corrupted, and uh that's it's all too common.
So I here here's my answer to your first question.
What do I think is gonna happen in 2010?
I think there's gonna be an uprising.
I think the American people are gonna show up in droves.
I even think, and this is not by the way, if I didn't think this, folks, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing.
If I thought all this was a lost cause, uh I wouldn't care so much about it.
And I was out in Las Vegas on Saturday, and I made the mistake of uh turning on television, saw something, I don't even remember what it was, and I thought, my God, we've lost the country.
And it depressed me for two hours until I was able to buck myself back up.
And I know it's hard for everybody else because uh you don't have the outlet I have.
You don't have a microphone to shout to 20 million people to vent and influence them.
You're sitting there, oh gosh, what can I do?
I'm just one vote, but it doesn't count.
I know exactly how you feel.
But I do think there's going to be an uprising in 2010.
I even think it's gonna happen if we have nothing to vote for.
Normally I wouldn't say that.
I think there's going to be an uprising of people voting against the Democrat Party like they can't believe.
They do not understand what's happening to them now.
They're not d d here, Grib.
What's the Gibbs sound by 31 with this?
Is that right?
Yeah, 31.
Listen to this.
Now, this is this will help make my point.
This is Robert Gibbs, the press secretary, daily briefing today, and uh reporter asked him, what do you think this election means to the party and the president?
This is the Virginia governor's race.
The pollsters at the Washington Post poll uh identified the fact that roughly 70 percent of the state said uh their vote had nothing to do with the President of the United States, that the remaining thirty was roughly divided evenly among those who wanted to use the vote to say something about the president, which led the polls to deduce that uh it had very little to do with the Obama presidency.
I would say the same thing uh I I think the same poll showed that among uh at any rate, they're in denial.
They're in denial.
And the I I I think that there it's going to be revolt and an uprising against the Democrat Party in general.
You can say it's gonna be against Obama, but it's gonna be against Democrats and especially if they end up passing a health care bill with as much as is now known about it, it's going to be a bloodbath politically in 2010.
Regardless whether we have a national Republican agenda or not.
Remember, house races are not national races.
And these midterms in 2010 are house races.
That's one of the dirty little secrets about the Republican takeover, as it was called, of the House at 1994, is that those house races were successfully nationalized.
Uh Newt and the boys came up with a national agenda for Republicans running for office, a House of Representatives.
Contract with America was part of it.
But rather than go into a campaign district or district and campaign against the local incumbent as having been weak on bringing home a nursing home center or a water treatment plant, the campaign said, focus on this guy and his weakness on national defense.
Focus on his tax raising, focus on how he is creating cultural rot with his votes.
Make him a national figure.
And that was huge in securing victory in the house races in 1994.
I don't I I right now I don't see anybody putting anything like that together.
in the Republican Party.
I don't think it's...
I think the revolt is going to be so stunning, it won't even need that.
It would be better if there were some national Republican Party agenda that was rooted and founded in unabashed, unapologetic conservatism that individual House members could run on and say, yep, this is me.
And who knows, it may happen between now and then.
But that's what is going to happen.
Now, what's going to happen if I'm right and the winners get to Washington?
I I know exactly what's going to happen.
The press are going to start attacking them.
The press are going to beat them up.
The Democrats are going to beat them up, uh, and it's going to come down to whether they've got the backbone to withstand it.
Few do.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
I'm reminded here that the um and um I think this is mostly correct.
Uh the the contract with America didn't happen until six weeks before the 1994 elections.
But it was still six weeks before.
It was still something for people to rally around.
We were coming off a lot of scandals.
The House Bank and the House Post Office and General Democrat arrogance plus Clinton's failed health care bill.
And attempt to totally take over uh uh you know one-sixth of the U.S. economy back then, so there were a lot of things, but there still was a national agenda.
There was a national strategy for all of these local house races that took place back in uh in 1994.
Dear Rush, I have used Zygam gel swabs in the past.
And I can tell you from personal experience they really work.
You know, they do.
And it just the FDA banned them.
It's unprecedented.
The FDA banned the gel swabs.
You can't buy them anymore.
Some people have them like Cuban cigars.
They hide them in places in case the authorities come with a search warrant.
Some people still have the gel swabs.
Some people ran out and bought some right as the announcement happened.
But there are now other kinds.
This guy says, Well, uh now we can't purchase the gel swabs.
I was wondering if you have used the cold remedy spray mist or the rapid melts, and if you think they work just as well as the swabs.
Well, uh last week.
Last week I told you I thought I was coming down with uh with this one of these things.
What I use, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh the the uh multi, I use a different kind.
It it the ingredient here is zinc.
Zinc is the ingredient, and it just happens to get into your system faster through the uh the uh the rhino uh cavities, the uh uh nostrils.
But uh they reformulated it, and uh it's well, there's like liquilaz form that uh that's called Cold Remedy Plus.
It has the cold medicine in it plus medicine to help relieve a uh a sore throat, and they have Zygam Zavers, which uh come in different flavors.
But they all work, they all do the same thing.
You use it the minute, the second you think you're coming down with a cold, and it will could possibly knock it out if you catch it soon enough.
But likely that won't happen, but it will really shorten the duration.
It will not mask the symptoms, it will shorten Zycam.
Well, whatever form you find and like best, uh it all works.
Jim in Chicago, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey Rush, how are you?
Fine and dandy.
Uh, you know, you just talked about telling us when it was kind of panic.
Uh I'm almost I think I've reached my panic point in regard to this medical bill.
Uh my wife just gave me a frantic call saying that she's been trying to get our uh seven-year-old uh asthmatic child uh the shot.
And she was told that uh unless she was American Indian or could prove that she was on some type of assistance program, that we would not be able to get the shot.
What?
From these locations.
And I'm telling you, so wait a minute, in Chicago?
Correct.
In other words, this is an affirmative action vaccine, and you have to be a an approved minority group member before you can get it?
I I'm telling you, Russ, I I don't understand it.
It's never happened before.
Well now we've got the government involved in it, and this is just another way of uh displaying how we can't have the government run the medical program when in fact they can now dictate which group which people get to have care.
It's crazy.
Jim, thanks.
I we're gonna I'm gonna check into this.
That's big if that's actually accurate.
Not doubting you, just have to check it out back after this.
So what you're saying to me is is the government is hyping the number of swine flu cases.
Because they're just assuming if somebody comes in with the flu, they give them some medicine, not even a vaccine, and just assume it's swine flu.
They don't test everybody for it because it's an expensive test, so they're hyping the number of cases out there.
Well, I d if that's true, that doesn't surprise me.
Create panic and chaos, sell health care, keep general unrest out there amongst the population.
It's right out of the Obama formula.
