Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
It's a blizzard out there, ladies and gentlemen.
It is a blizzard.
Snowstorm Al Gore, global warming snowstorm Al Gore, the first named global warming caused snowstorm of the winter season, even though it's not winter yet.
Is uh moving through the Great Lakes, disrupting commerce, costing millions of dollars in lost productivity.
And we got blowhard wind conditions are being felt throughout Iowa and the uh and the Ohio Valley.
Snowstorm Al Gore's jet in the upper atmosphere is approaching speeds of 200 miles an hour, the jet stream up there, uh, which we trust uh being offset somewhere.
And here's another take on Des Moines, Iowa.
This is from uh MSNBC in a scene stretching from the upper Midwest through New England on Wednesday, a broad storm front forced the cancellations of hundreds of flights, the delays of hundreds more, while roads fared little better, whiteout conditions, 50 mile per hour wind gusts slowing or stopping traffic.
It is global warming, snowstorm Al Gore, the first named global warming caused snowstorm of the winter season.
I figured, folks, why stop at naming hurricanes?
Which are global warming inspired.
We're we're gonna name all these winter storms, too.
And we're gonna go, we'll have eventually we'll get to Snowstorm Obama or Snowstorm Barack, or both.
A snowstorm Bamster.
Uh all over the place.
Greetings, great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh, this is the EIB network and the uh Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Um updates on health care coming here in just a second, but let me get a couple things out of the way here.
Al Gore, uh, according to a blog here by Andrew Bolt at the Australian Herald Sun.com is just uh well they say here falsifying the record.
I I think he's he's lying about these uh climate research unit uh uh emails.
Uh it's claims to have studied the emails with his typically rigorous eye, and he's dismissing them as mere piffle.
How damaging to your argument was the disclosure of emails from the climate research unit in East Anglia.
Al Gore.
Well, to paraphrase Shakespeare, it's sound and fury is signifying nothing.
I haven't read all the emails, but the most recent one is more than ten years old.
These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus.
Now here we get we are in the universe of lies.
Well, I mean, and it's just stunning.
And if you if you think that was just a mere slip of the tongue with another question, there is a sense that uh in these emails, though, the data was hidden and hoarded, which is the opposite of the case you make in your book about having an open and fair debate.
Answer.
I think it's been taken wildly out of context.
The discussion you're referring to was about two papers that two of these scientists felt shouldn't be accepted as part of the IPCC report.
Both of them, in fact, were included, referenced, and discussed, so an email exchange more than 10 years ago, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, let the the point here is that he's lying through his teeth about this.
The most recent email was November.
They're not ten years old.
They're Unix timestamped.
They go through a uh a long period of almost ten years, with the most recent email being in November.
We've got emails from an AP reporter, Seth Borinstein, who um is asking the people at the climate research unit, how do I handle this uh this uh this journal here that's got a lot of credibility that says that you guys are full of it.
How do I handle this?
We had the media asking for advice from the hoaxers.
Uh the the these private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus.
There are about 450 academic peer-reviewed journal articles questioning the importance of man-made global warming.
I mean, the the the sheer number of scientists rallying against a major intervention to stop carbon dioxide is remarkable.
This it's it's just it's like Harry Reid is doubling down on the slavery comment.
Uh, it's like Diane Feinstein says it is entirely moral that pro-life American taxpayers should pay for abortions for people who want them in this country.
It's not a moral question.
I mean, these people are so radical uh that that we most people do not know how to deal with this.
It's clear that the Senate Republican leadership doesn't know how to deal with this.
Uh in the health care fight, delay, delay, add amendments, so forth.
This is this is unlike anything we've ever seen before.
This has to be stopped.
And by the way, do not believe these stories that Reed's close to a deal.
He's not close to a deal.
He's at least four votes short.
He's not close.
The game plan in this health care business all along has been to dispirit you, to cause you and others like you to not even try to stop it, to protest, to show up at rallies or any of that, because they want you to think it's a feta completion, and it's not.
This is this is all part of the strategy to make it look like the stories out there today.
Reed announced this deal.
It's not the case.
If you are one of the and it the reason I'm inter uh interspersing these two is because the same, it's the same issue.
Climate change, the global warming, health care, it's all the same people doing it the same way.
It's the universe of lies.
There's nothing about any of this that is real except that it might happen.
But nothing that they're saying about it to advance it is real.
Now, the heritage people, if you are one of the few Americans who still subscribes, your morning newspaper probably has a headline like this Democrats reach deal on health plan.
Don't believe it.
Harry Reed is still light years away from producing the 60 votes necessary to pass Obamacare out of the Senate.
And whatever he's doing on the floor of the Senate is irrelevant, and whatever the Republicans are doing on the floor of the Senate is irrelevant because they don't have the votes to stop Reed.
Reed is trying to blame all this on Republicans not going along.
He's working the back of the room, trying to make deals and buy off however he has to.
All of these recalcitrant senators on the Democrat side.
Now, that being said, our party is in a huge mess.
Do you realize we're down to having to be concerned what Olympia Snow or Ben Nelson does?
I have to tell you how offended I am over that, that we are held hostage to what Olympia Snow or Ben Nelson does because our leadership has blown this in not taking it on ideologically.
And not all kinds of parliamentary steps could have been taken.
And I'm not talking about reading the bill.
They could have done that.
But there are all kinds of steps could have been taken to slow this down, to stop it, and to alert and educate the American people as to what's going on here.
But as usual, it's left to us in the so-called new media to accomplish this.
And the Heritage Foundation is a great help today.
The few details that have leaked about this new broad agreement only reveal just how desperate Reid is to get any bill on Obama's desk by the new year.
And that's what this is about.
It's Obama building a monument to himself.
The Democrats believing that they lost the House in 1994 because they didn't get this passed.
I mean, E.J. Dionne Jr., the leftist columnist in the Washington Post, said the December deadline is a purely political invention created for the sole purpose of enabling President Obama to point to at least one accomplishment during the State of the Union speech in January.
Thank you.
The ramifications of the passage of this, nobody's talking about.
On the Democrat side in the mainstream media, it's an utter disaster, as you and I all know.
Details of this agreement being heralded all over the media today have not been made public.
Senate Democrats are refusing to make them public until they hear back from the Congressional Budget Office, which is also being set up for a false score to show that this is revenue neutral, deficit neutral, might even actually reduce the deficit.
How stupid do they think we are?
Judging from what little has been selectively leaked to the public, this whole idea deserves to die.
Doubling down on debt.
Medicare already bankrupting the country.
In 2007 alone, Medicare was forced to draw $179 billion from general revenues of the U.S. Treasury.
It's a death sentence for hospitals.
The Reed Health Bill already delivers a huge blow to the nation's hospitals by cutting Medicare reimbursements to hospitals by hundreds of billions of dollars.
This is why both the American Hospital Association of Federal or Federation of American Hospitals sent alerts yesterday, urging their members to oppose this.
Government run health care coup.
Now, one of the things they're saying today is you know we're going to get rid of the public option.
We're going to get rid of the public option.
That's the only way we can satisfy uh uh a senator here or a senator, they're not getting rid of the public option.
You might think that the uh leftists who have been dreaming about single payer government run health care for years would be upset about this Senate deal if they were really getting rid of it, but they're not, are they?
The existing Medicaid expansions in the bill and the new Senate deal, Medicare expansions are just a continuation of the left's health care agenda since the defeat of Hillary care, which is to slowly expand existing government programs so that all private health care is strangled out of existence.
And they're gonna i i this is what it means when I say the universe of laws uh it's just I mean it's it's a tsunami of them.
It is a veritable tsunami of lies.
It's it's like Obama saying yesterday, we've seen the largest contraction to expansion of our economy.
In my administration, in more than the last 30 years.
Uh uh, sorry.
We're still spiraling out of control economically of the private sector.
There's no indication that it's going to get any better.
Meredith Whitney was in CNBC yesterday saying the government's out of bullets, meaning there's nothing left to spend.
And she's worried that consumers, because of lack of available credit, are going to effectively drop out of the financial system.
You've got all these houses that are that are underwater, foreclosures continue, and he's out there talking about the largest contraction to expansion.
They're out there saying, we struck a deal here.
We're not going to have the public option.
If they're not going to have a public option, then there's no reason to do this.
And if they're not going to have a public option, it was genuinely true, then you would have Democrats all over this country livid and uh doing their own protests.
But they're not, because they understand the game and uh and what's what's headed here.
And then Diane Feinstein said that using tax dollars from pro-life Americans to pay for insurance plans that cover abortion is morally correct.
I mean, that's I mean, to say that that is morally correct.
I mean, that is an in your face.
That is a thumb in your eye.
That is a shut up, get out of here, and stop bothering me.
When uh when President Obama gave one of his first national health care addresses in June, he told Congress as we move forward on health care and reform, it is not sufficient for us simply to add more people to Medicare or Medicaid.
But that's all Obamacare has turned out to be.
That's the sum total of what's happening here.
In the midst of these mythical $500 billion cuts in Medicare.
We'll see if uh if those things ever actually materialize as well.
A brief time out here, folks, Grad that you are with us.
Uh telephone number again, eight uh 800-282-2882.
Uh, one more thing.
Uh Al Gore was on CNN yesterday warning the two or three people at Watch CNN about imminent planetary doom at the hands of his favorite bogeyman global warming.
It was just seconds before the anchor at infobabe Kieran Chetry reported the monster storm paralyzing travel in more than a dozen states with winter still two weeks away.
He's out there.
We face imminent destruction global warming.
Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
And now for the next story, global warming snowstorm Al Gore, paralyzing the upper Midwest.
Two weeks before winter.
We'll be back.
Every time he shows up someplace.
Every time it's almost comical.
Every time he shows up someplace, there's either an outbreak of weather that is The exact opposite of what he's talking about.
And it never does seem to get embarrassed.
That's why they've stopped calling it global warming and they'll call it climate change so that virtually every perceived abnormality can be said to be caused by climate change.
Back after this, folks, at tight.
Add a manheim steamroller as we uh continue our sporay into the Christmas season.
Great to have you here.
So I guess I guess uh what we're to understand here is that we have to destroy our health care system and thereby destroy our health in order to to deliver Obama a political victory so he can tout an achievement in a State of the Union show next year.
It's all about Obama.
It's all about Obama, not the American people, not the health care system.
It's about Obama.
We got to do this for Obama, the embattled Obama.
Who's cratering in the polls now?
46% approval in the Marist poll.
Here is dingy Harry not backing down, doubling down on the on the race card and the slavery comment.
Reporters said to him yesterday, can you comment on Republican demands to make you apologize for your comments about slavery, civil rights, and women's suffrage?
That at pivotal points in American history.
The tactics of distortion, delay, have certainly been present.
They've been used to stop progress.
And that's what we're talking about here.
That's what's happening here.
It's very clear.
That's a point I made.
No more, no less.
Anyone who willingly distorts my comments is only proving my point.
Doubling down on it, and once again, the way they defend these things is to come back at you twice as hard and say, you didn't hear me right, but in case you didn't hear, let Let me say it again.
Uh, and then accuse everybody of distorting what he's talking about.
Because I pointed out yesterday, uh, the Republican Party was born slavery.
It was Southern Democrats who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the voting rights act.
It was all those Southern Democrats, one of them still in the Senate, Robert Byrd, who opposed all of those things and did their best to stop them.
Uh the the Civil War was about freedom.
Uh the whole this this is just the health care bill is not about freedom.
It's limiting freedom.
The analogies that he made are just wacko.
Here, let's let's here's his original remark.
Let's go back and listen to it.
This happened Monday on the Senate floor.
Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all Republicans can come up with is this.
Slow down.
Stop everything.
Let's start over.
Do you think you've heard these same excuses before you run?
When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said, slow down.
It's too early.
Let's wait.
When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote.
Some insisted they simply slow down.
And this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone.
Regardless of the color of their skin.
Some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats we hear today.
They were Democrats, but the problem is the Democrats filibustering civil rights were trying to deny freedom to people.
The people that are trying to stop health care today are trying to maintain the freedom and liberty of the people of the United States of America.
By the way, Mr. Snurdley.
All week long, Monday, Tuesday, all week long, Snerdley has been baiting me to make comments about a certain aspect of the Tiger Woods scandal.
And I said I'm not going to do it because I know that everybody in the media is out there waiting for me to do it.
They want to make comments too, but they want me to lead the way.
They want me to make the comments, and then they can jump in and then rip me to shreds for making the comments.
So yesterday I played a couple sound bites from the Reverend Daxon, in which he clearly stated that the black frame of mind is not good, that uh they're very disappointed.
All this high unemployment in the minority community, it's not what they expected, uh, and they want something done about it, meaning they want some payoffs.
Uh, and I threw in a little line.
I said, I'm sure that the kind of women that Tigers having affairs with is not helping either.
That whole thing was taken out of context, and a major story appeared in the New York Daily News today, funneled by people at Media Matters.
This is exactly thirdly, I that one line has been turned into a 750-word story.
Do I know these people or do I know these people?
That's why I refuse to do it.
Now it's now we've got audio sound bites of that being discussed on uh on MSNBC this morning.
Anyway, health care, bottom line is the American people do not want this.
So dingy Harry, why are you doing this?
You're doing it to empower yourself.
You're doing it to reward the trial lawyers and the unions and the pro abort groups.
You're doing it to empower Obama.
And you claim you're doing it for people when the people say no.
Harry Reed is a disgrace, and Harry Reed is a liar.
America's truth detector and the doctor of democracy, Rush Limboa, and the EIB network.
We come to you from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
You know, Obama's out there making a speech about the uh the troubled asset relief program is TARP business.
And I've had a lot of people email me today saying Rush, the Treasury Secretary can just act by fiat and decide to get they're going to extend the program by the way to 2010.
That was announced today by uh little Timmy tax cheat Geitner.
They're going to extend the TARP program to 2010.
Yeah, there's 200 billion dollars of it on spent, and people say, Can he do that?
I remember I read the law to you.
TARP, the troubled asset relief program, troubled asset relief program was uh put exclusively in the hands of the Treasury Secretary.
Back during the Bush administration, it was Hank Paulson and the boys.
And the Treasury Secretary has sole discretion on how it's used.
Now, in this case, of course, uh Obama is telling Geithner what he wants done with it, but Geitner can do whatever he wishes.
But there's 200 billion dollars.
Here's a way to look at this.
I think a better way to look at this let's say that um you take your kid to a ball game.
And I may not get the prices right here, but the the point the same.
You take your kid to a ball game in the National Football League, and you after uh in the middle of the first quarter, you send the kid up to the concession stand to get two hot dogs, uh, a couple soda pops and a beer for you, and maybe some peanuts, and you give the kid 500 bucks.
Kid comes back with all of it and has a hundred bucks left over.
The two hot dogs, the beer, the two sodas cost 400 bucks.
You say to the kid, all right, give me the change.
Give me the hundred dollars back.
No, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna keep that.
I'm gonna apply it to other things that I want to buy.
Give me my change back, kid.
That's how you have to look at the unspent TARP.
Okay, they said they needed this to go do that.
It didn't require that to do this.
So we've got 200 billion dollars in change.
That's our change.
We want it back.
And our president saying, no, I'm gonna take it.
It's my money now, and I'm gonna spend it however I want, buying votes or buying off senators or whatever I need to do.
That's what he's doing.
Now, Snardly is asking me to play the soundbite on this Tiger Woods stuff.
So here's let's let's start.
This is the setup.
This is what I said yesterday after playing two sound bites from the Reverend Dachson, in which the Reverend Jackson talked about how angry uh the frame of mind is in the minority community over President Obama.
I tell you what's going on here with this.
The Reverend Dax, hmm, and I got two more stories in the stack today about how black unemployment is through the roof, black unemployment is terrible.
The black frame of mind is terrible.
They're just stop it right there, and I want you to re-cue it.
I was talking about these stories, these two stories in the stack that say and discuss and report on black unemployment through the roof, black unemployment terrible, black frame of mind is terrible.
The media matters, guys take that out of context, reported to the media that I'm saying the black frame of mind is out of context.
All right, the black framework is terrible.
They're claiming I said that when I was simply reporting two stories that state control media ran.
And this is how this stuff works.
They take that quote out of context and a couple other things I said about about Tiger, and they they turn it into a full-fledged story.
I knew they were sitting around waiting to do this.
And of course it worked because they got some media people now thinking I alone said the black frame of mind is terrible when I was simply reporting two news stories.
Here it is, again from the uh from the top, and then we'll give you the little uh the media montage reaction that we have.
I'll tell you what's going on here with this.
The Reverend Dax and I got two more stories in the stack today about how black unemployment is through the roof.
Black unemployment is terrible.
The black frame of mind is terrible.
They're depressed, they're kind of Obama not doing anything for them.
How is that hoax and change working for you?
They're all they're all livid.
I mean, they they thought they were gonna be an exact one hundred and eighty-degree economic reversal, and it's done nothing but get banned for everybody.
But they're especially upset about it because they look at him as one of them, and now they feel abandoned.
And I'm sure Tiger Woods' uh choice of uh females not helping them out with their attitudes there either.
Folks, about that, I got a great piece to share with you from Lisa Schiffrin at the AmericanThinker.com on the parallels between Tiger Woods and Barack Obama.
The theme is that both are the result of lies, falsely crafted images that are in no way representative of who they really are.
All right, so that's the sum total, talking about two news stories that report on the demoralized attitude of the black community, the anger of the Reverend Jackson and two sound bites over uh record high unemployment, and the the media has been uh featuring a lot of stories recently with a congressional black caucus upset with Obama.
So it's it's well documented.
Well, I'm not saying it in any way, shape, manner, or form on my own.
I'm just reporting that, and then I threw in a little joke there about Tiger.
So now we go to uh Scarborough's uh show this morning on MSNBC, Viv Mika Zhezinski, Mike Barnacle, Tina Brown of The Daily Beast, and CNBC's Donnie Deutsch.
Co-host Willie Geist, and here's this discussion about Tiger.
You know something, you know, Tracy Quan, who is a full Macool girl, who is one of the Daily Beasts, you know, very well-regarded contributors.
She wrote a very good piece saying his big mistake was that he should have just paid for this fair and clean.
I know this is a terrible thing to say, but maybe this is a big mistake.
This kind of the pancake tosses and the and and you know, so forth, and not the most important.
You're saying pay for sex, says Tina Brown.
Oh, yeah.
Is that the bottom line?
I'm simply saying you pay for it one way or another.
I love to salute Rush Limbaugh on the show, and he had a great piece yesterday when he talked about that.
Blacks in America are depressed now because he's been choosing white women to have affairs with, and there are no black people.
Oh, I thought that's what I'm saying.
We have a very special thing.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take now.
What's funny about this is that those stories have been out there in the Associated Press quoting black women.
I mean, there have been numerous stories, and that's what Snerdley has wanted me to comment on.
It's I'm not talking about it because they're all waiting for me to.
And and so I threw that one little line, and I'm sure Tiger Woods choice of females is not helping.
Bam.
I am now responsible for saying what the AP has reported.
A lot of black women say I have even not even mentioned it until now.
After the fact, just to uh just to prove a point.
All right, back now to Dingy Harry, audio soundbite number five.
This is important.
He announces a deal, but he can't expose the details.
So much for transparency.
This is last night uh in Washington, they had a press conference out there.
Tonight we've overcome a real problem that we had.
I uh think it's fair to say that the debate to this stage has been portrayed as a very divisive one.
And many have assumed that people of different perspectives can't come together.
But I think that what we were able to work out the last few days, which culminated tonight delays that fact.
We have a broad agreement.
We can't disclose the details of what we've done, but believe me, we've got something that's good that I think is very for us.
It moves this bill way down the road.
And of course, now the the the uh state control media dutifully falls in line.
Politico read Dem's reach broad agreement.
Uh and the broad agreement has leaked.
Uh, and that is the public option will be replaced by a new national insurance plan offered by private insurers.
That's what they're that's which is unless private insurers don't step up into it.
If private insurers don't want to do it, then it doesn't happen.
Uh it's all smoke and mirrors anyway.
Politico dutifully steps in line.
LA Times, Senate Democrats reach health care deal on public option.
And there's very little clarity in this story.
The national plan would be issued by some nonprofit insurer and the government would oversee the plan.
A nonprofit insured that the government oversees uh sounds like the government to me.
Now, if this unknown nonprofit doesn't materialize, and this we're led to believe here that somebody, some nonprofit has to step up, uh then an honest upfront government plan is triggered.
Folks, and this is his big deal because there are senators who don't want the public option.
So Reed's saying, okay, we won't have a public option.
What we're gonna have is a nonprofit insurer that we would oversee from the private sector.
But if one of those private sector insurance companies doesn't step up, or if a nonprofit doesn't step up, then that triggers the public option.
Uh I mean, it's it's ridiculous.
It is absolutely ridiculous.
They do not, and by the way, the the the main point here is do not fall for this business that they are close to a deal, that they have a major, major bridge that they crossed.
That is not the case.
As the Heritage Foundation says today, if you're one of the few Americans still seeing a morning paper as a headline, Democrats reach deal on health plan, don't believe it.
Harry Reid is still light years away from producing the 60 votes necessary to pass Obamacare out of the Senate.
That's what is so frustrating.
The reality here is so frustrating.
I hate to say this because I like these people, but the Senate Republican leadership strategy here was flawed because it allowed the Democrats to take offensive, the offensive by time to work out a deal.
I don't know.
I've never been in the Senate, I've never been elected.
I'm not a parliamentary expert, but I I know a disaster when I see it, and I know that it's got to be stopped, and whatever parliamentary steps are available to people who do know what they are should have been taken.
Every blocking tactic they had at this.
Push this past the end of the year.
Make sure that nothing does happen before Christmas.
I get I get frustrated.
I mean, and I you know what I know you are too.
You probably more frustrated than I am.
These old Bob Dole time, nothing against Bob Dole, but it's not, it's not, it's a different era now.
They have no idea what we are facing.
They act like this is just another day at the office.
And maybe in a couple years, Republicans will get the power back, and then we'll go back and be uh you know, convivial and all get along and so forth.
This has to be stopped.
Millions, millions of Americans feel this way.
They don't have faith in our principles, they don't have the the will or energy to go on offense and talk about the the Republican leadership wherever you find it.
And they're they're incapable of explaining uh our philosophy or our purpose.
I mean, I really believe that the way to fight this is on pure ideological terms.
Liberals are liberals, and it's not helpful to them when they are so identified.
They go out of their way to avoid being called liberal.
They don't like it.
It's they talk about Republican versus Democrat voter identification, conservative versus liberals, where you need to look 40% of Americans describe themselves as conservative, 36 independents, and uh 20 percent liberal.
And these independents are abandoning the Democrat Party in droves, and a key point.
They're abandoning the Democrat Party without the Republican Party giving them any reason to go to them.
They're just abandoning a Democrats because they don't like what they see.
There's a gold mine of an opportunity here to draw distinctions and contrasts.
Rather than offer amendments to try to improve the bill and accept the premise that this is going to happen.
We just gotta make it as less damaging as as we can.
We cannot, folks, we cannot allow.
We cannot allow our country, the whole country.
We cannot allow our party to be based on what Olympia Snow and Ben Nelson or Blanche Lincoln may or may not do.
What's smart about that?
You do not build a strong future on a foundation with unreliable keystones.
I gotta take a break.
I'm a little I'm a little long, but uh so the next segment's gonna be short.
You have been warned.
All right, here's a here's a headline every parent wants to see about their daughter.
Tiger Woods alleged mistress Rachel Yucatel.
I'm not a whore.
There it is, folks, right there.
Uh it's from Fox 411, posted by Fox 411.
It's actually OK magazine.
She did an interview with OK Magazine.
You ever read OK Magazine?
I think I've ever seen it.
Uh anyway, he said she was uh unfairly labeled a villain in the scandal uh as new alleged Woods mistresses from porn stars to pancake wigs.
I mean, stop and think of that.
From porn to pancakes.
And that pretty much covers the spectrum.
Uh as these as these babes continue to surface, nightclub promoter Rachel Yucatel is trying to set herself apart.
In every story, you need a villain and a hero, Yucatel said.
I've been characterized as a villain.
People who call me a homewrecker, a gold digger, a tramp, a whore.
I make mistakes, and I'm none of those things.
I have very good qualities.
When you're judged by the nation, it's really difficult, it's horrible.
Oh, Rachel, Rachel, right.
I guess she didn't know she was he was married.
Well, how how can she say?
Homewrecker, I'm not gold digger, I'm not tramp, I'm not whore, I'm not.
I'm not any of those things.
The uh I guess would have to say that she didn't know Tiger was married.
Anyway, back to this this this health care business, folks.
Our guys do not seem to understand that this is a new era.
We are fighting radicals who will stop at nothing.
Our guys are still living in the Bob Dole Howard Baker days.
We look at we cannot outvote Harry Reed.
We can't outvote Harry Reed, so voting on one amendment after another sends the message that compromise in a deal are fine.
If you just fix the deal, then we'll work.
But no, no, no, it's got to be stopped.
This bill needs to be killed.
And you use whatever tactics you have to expose the entire game and the process that they're doing, the substance.
You go down fighting, not amending.
There's a new poll out.
It's and it's the political.

And yet they claim they're doing this for the people.
52% want no part of it.

Nobody wants it.
Well, not nobody, but the vast majority do not want it.
Senator Reed, why are you doing this?
Why are you doing it?
Don't tell us it's for the people, for our health care and our health insurance.
Because the jigs up, people don't want any part of this.
They know what it is.
