Time Text
And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
I am America's truth detector, America's doctor of democracy.
The all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling.
All concerned.
Maha Rushi on Friday, live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Yahoo!
When we go to the phones, it's all you, ladies and gentlemen.
You can talk about mostly whatever you want.
Not the case Monday through Thursday.
It's a golden opportunity.
Be creative.
Use it.
800 282, 2882.
Email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So I have a new nickname from a caller in Bolka Raton.
I think that place is 100% socialist.
Based on everything I know, people I know who live there, uh, the things that come out of there.
I am now Rush Limbully.
I am bullying Obama.
Let's see, if I have I taken over the White House, am I in charge of what he gets paid?
I haven't taken over any car companies.
I haven't, I haven't bullied any people on Wall Street.
Uh I'm the bully.
The bully is in the White House.
And I'm going to tell you something, folks.
I feel sorry for the next president who's going to inherit.
You talk about the next president going to inherit something.
This is going to be an absolute disaster.
Whoever the next president is going to inherit all this debt and all of this bureaucracy.
One disaster after another created by this president.
You you talk about inheriting Obama inherited a recession caused not only by the business cycle, but by the collapsing housing market resulting from decades of left-wing policies manipulating mortgages.
In all the subprime crisis, Obama saw an opportunity to blow the lid off the budget, off the debt.
And now he takes credit for anything he can cling to while denouncing everybody else while the whole situation gets worse.
And make no mistake about it, ladies and gentlemen, it's getting worse by the day.
I've had some people say, Rush, these people, there's too many too many people to be involved to cook the numbers.
They can't manipulate.
I checked the email.
They can't they can't manipulate the unemployment numbers.
Well, let me take you back to August 8, 2002, and a Robert Novak column.
The government's department, that the Commerce Department's painful report last week that the national economy is worse than anticipated, obscured the document's startling revelation, hidden in the morass of statistics.
There is proof that the Clinton administration grossly overestimated the strength of the economy leading up to the 2000 election.
Did the federal government join Enron in WorldCom in cooking the books?
Through all of Clinton's last two years in office, the announced level of before tax profits was at least 10% too high.
Remember this?
We reported it at the time.
A discrepancy rising close to 30% during the last presidential campaign.
Most startling, the Commerce Department in 2000 showed that the economy was on an upswing through most of the election year, while in fact it was declining.
Bush inherited a little recession and then 9-11 hit.
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates before tax profits of domestic non-financial corporations quarterly.
Revised figures last week showed that profits were really lower by 10.7% and 12.2% and 15.2% and 18% for the four quarters of 1999.
In 2000, the gap became a chasm.
The revised quarterly profits for the election year are lower than the announced figures of 23.3, 25.9, 29.9, and 28.2.
So don't tell me they don't make up the numbers.
They clearly do.
Now one of the uh things.
Uh we spent a lot of time on Europe yesterday, and explaining why what's happening over there could be having an effect on uh on our stock market.
And of course, uh the the problem that's happening now uh is that I mentioned this yesterday, that the the Europe, the Euro may actually collapse.
These are states, uh equivalent to our states.
Greece is like a state in the European Union, and they can't print their own money.
New Jersey can't print its own money.
And the four countries that are really providing problems are Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain.
They have huge deficits and no monetary policy, no national monetary policy that they can man uh monkey with and manipulate.
And so a lot of people are fearful that they can't resolve the problems within the confines of the euro because they don't know that a euro or the EU can bail them out.
The EU is not working.
I mean, it's it's a it's it's it's a grandiose idea trying to mimic us, but of course we are the product of ideas.
And uh they're not.
Now, Mike Munger thinks we're possible we're looking at the end of the euro as we know it, as one or more of these countries may have to drop.
Normally, folks, I wouldn't bother you with all this, but it has an effect, it's having an effect on the stock market here.
And a lot of these countries are socialist countries, and hang on for the PAS de resistance.
Now, Munger says that it's not impossible.
We're looking at the end of the euro as we know it.
One or more of these countries may have to drop out of the EU and inflate a new national currency to get out from under their fiscal situation, and he says this is 37% probability.
He's run the numbers.
And the situation is getting worse rather than better, because as the EU has demanded that Greece lower its deficit as a percentage of GDP.
The announced austerity programs are causing rioting, striking.
Portuguese legislators appear to be thinking about increasing spending and raising rather than lowering their deficit.
Spanish stock market fell 6% today, yesterday, Portugal 5%, Greece 3.5%.
And here's from the Los Angeles Times.
Protests in Greece over new austerity measures.
Tax and customs inspectors took to the streets of Greece on Thursday at the head of an expected wave of new labor unrest as the country tries to claw its way out of a debt crisis that threatens to engulf much of Europe.
The walkout was the first of several planned protests over the government's new austerity plan intended to restore confidence in its finances.
But you have all these dependent people, and they hear in a sturdy program is oh, I'm not going to get my government goodies.
More labor unrest is expected as the government drafts a plan to trim the budget and raise levies, taxes to that's a new word, by the way, to replace taxes.
Raise levies to uh to cut the deficit, which is past 12%.
So same thing could happen here.
I want you to take yourself, put yourself in the future, and imagine somebody, the Chicons, demanding that we do the same thing the EU is demanding of Greece.
Your debt as a percentage GDP, because we own it, ChICOM say, is way too high.
We need you to get that debt down to 8% instead of the 10.6% that it is.
Well, the only way to do that would be to really cut spending and lower taxes to create jobs and economic output.
Is Obama going to do anything?
If he did, if he cut sp can you imagine the howls of protest from at least the 36% of the people in this country that Gallup found like socialism.
Riots, strikes.
Same thing could happen here.
Uh the situation is not that much different.
We can inflate our currency all we want.
We can continue to print it, but in the end it only makes it much worse.
And right now, what Obama and the Democrats are looking at, if you take a look at their budget, everything else, they're looking at getting out of town before we have to make the deal with the devil.
They're looking at getting out of town before the excrement hits the fan.
That's their plan.
Wreck the country and then flee.
We'll be back.
Your phone calls coming up on open line Friday.
Well, it just keeps adding up here, folks.
Patrick Kennedy, the son of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, has said that Scott Brown's election was a joke because Brown insisted on being sworn in early.
It's just a joke, said Patrick Kennedy.
Brown wanted to be sworn in early because he saw that the uh the temporary replacement for Senator Kennedy, Paul Kirk was still in there casting one illegal vote after another.
As soon as Brown was elected, Kirk's out of there.
Can't cast any more votes.
It's Massachusetts Law and Senate law.
He kept going, and they finally had to get Brown in there to hold up some radical communist heading up the National Labor Relations Board, which ticked off Pat Kennedy.
They wanted a communist in there.
Now from Hillary Hillary Chabot to Bostonherald.com, the Kennedy political dynasty is shaking in the aftershock of Scott Brown's earth-shattering election.
But the uh poll here shows U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy losing ground as he faces a well-financed Republican candidate backed by Brown's top strategists.
WPRI 12 poll showed the Rhode Island Democrat 56% unfavorability rating in his district, a negative that grows to 62% statewide.
Camelot is crumbling out there.
There's only one surviving Kennedy brother, and that's Barack Obama.
Patrick Kennedy is in trouble.
Can you imagine if a Republican beat him in his district in Rhode Island?
It looks like that could happen.
Now, uh, ladies and gentlemen, was it not a cable network owned by NBC, which led the charge saying I was mean spirited and bigot so forth in the Michael J. Fox thing.
Was it not a cable channel owned by NBC that has been trying to get Sarah Palin to denounce me for using in the satirical way the words of Barack Obama or uh Harry Reed and Rom Emanuel.
And he our word, yes.
So there is a sign posted at the NBC cafeteria celebrating Black History Month.
They post this menu in honor of Black History Month.
And a disgruntled employee took a picture of it and emailed it.
Fried Chicken.
NBC, in honor of Black History Month, fried chicken, collared greens with smoked turkey, white rice, black-eyed peas, jalapeno cornbread, fountain soda, or aquafina water.
He wasn't the only employee to notice.
Fried chicken in honor of Black History Month.
I wonder if the servers at the NBC cafeteria in February, Black History Month, speak with a Negro dialect.
Well, I mean, it's NBC folks, and they're supposedly above the fray.
Those people would never ever engage in anything so offensive, would they?
But there they are.
And it was a couple of disgruntled employees who snapped pictures with their cell phones, and the pictures are all over the net.
Here's uh where are we going on the phones?
We're gonna go back to the phones here.
Who's up first?
Oh, Bob in Philadelphia.
Glad you called, sir.
Your turn.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
It's a pleasure to speak to you.
Thank you, sir very much.
Um just an observation.
Uh do you think the Democrats are being very hypocritical?
Because during the Bush administration, I remember during the uh when the Iraq war was really going really, really flying.
They would have all these people come up and say, Well, we support the troops, but we're not for the war.
And now they're saying that, well, we support Obama and Obama's ratings are very high, but his policies aren't really we don't support them.
Now here's my what I'm thinking.
The reason I'm thinking that Obama's approval ratings are so high, is because the people who are asked the question in these polls, they don't want to be seen they don't want to be uh perceived as being racist.
So they say, oh yeah, we like him.
And you know, they're not racist, but you know, they really don't like the guy.
I think that's a large factor.
It's been proven that people answering pollster's questions don't want to be thought of by the pollster as either racist or bigoted or sexist or homophobic.
Uh It is an interesting analogy that you draw.
We support the troops but we hate the war.
Can't do both at the same time.
But you could like Obama.
He could have a likability uh uh that you like but you don't like his policies.
I I think to the extent that uh people are are are phonying it up on the answers because they don't want the pollster to think that they are a racist I also think that the uh the media did such a marvelous job of ginning up pure hatred for George W. Bush that anybody by comparison is likeable but it isn't going to be long and by the way his approval numbers are below 50%
now.
They're not they're not that the likability is above 50 but the approval is not and there that that disparity is I think you know could be some number fudging could be the Bradley effect.
You remember the Bradley effect.
Telling a pollster you're going to vote for a black guy, they're not doing it.
Telling a pollster you'll like the president when you don't.
Because I've really, I mean, if you don't like his policies, and more and more people are opposed energetically to his policies, it does stretch belief that the likability factor is that high.
But we'll wait and see.
Time will tell.
Back to the phones, Boca Raton.
This is Jim.
By the way, I just got a fax, or an email.
are three conservatives in Boca Raton.
Well I happen to be one of the brush uh not all the folks down here are socialists or liberals and I want to bring up a point uh that has not been discussed on the air and get some advice from you on it.
You're as a matter of fact you're the only person that mentioned it.
I am going to say two words Rush Limbaugh China card.
In other words what I'm talking about is because the United States is dependent on what will be the second largest economic power by the end of the year taking that spot from Japan they have started to flex their muscles as far as the control over the United States and how we do business.
vis-a-vis the severe consequences of Obama meeting with the Dalai Lama, the arms sales to Taiwan, and the refusal to devaluate their currency, also to threaten severe consequences, as well as to flex their muscles in all these areas.
They are going to pull the plug on loans, and then where will we be?
Well, not as bad as if they called them.
Right.
I want to ask you something.
I've got a story from the Washington Times.
I didn't get into it in a lot of detail.
I just pulled one quote from it, but here is it by David Dixon.
China has acknowledged that its export-driven economy took a beating in 2008 and 2009, but Western analysts, most of whom are suspicious of Beijing's willingness to concede downturns, think China may have already slipped into a recession, and that they're hiding it with phony, trumped-up numbers that show rabid economic growth.
And more and more people are beginning to think that the Chai Combs are manipulating their economic statistics just like the Obama administration is.
Now, when you say that the Chai Combs are going to play the card, how is that going to manifest itself?
Well, you can see the move towards socialism right now as far as the government is concerned.
I really am feeling more and more like they are going to have more of an influence uh economically as far as these loans are concerned they're supporting a lot of of uh financing of this thing we're going through right now and if they pull the plug on that that they seem to be our major source of uh of funds in order to even float this thing during this Crazy time.
Well, it could be.
I know that they have uh at least there have been reports that the ChICOMs have told Obama they're very, very worried about all of this debt and all of this borrowing.
Uh and Obama is going to turn that around to say we got to raise taxes.
And I think that's when he's his trip over to China was it was a dud.
Uh it it by all, uh, by all measures and all reports, it was a dud.
Yeah, this ChICOM thing, it's got everybody on uh a little unease out there because they if if they called the debt, or if they did what the EU was doing to Greece and demanded that we get our debt down below 10% of GDP, uh well, they're kind of interlinked with us.
I mean, it might it might hurt their economy because they they're export-driven.
Well, we've we've got the consumers here have to have money to buy their stuff.
Uh, and not only us, but around the world too.
Anyway, Jim, thanks much for the call.
I uh appreciate it.
Uh, let's see.
Greenville, South Carolina.
Hey, George, open line Friday, you're next.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Rush, it's an honor.
Rush, I uh I'm 45 years old.
I've got five kids, and I've seen my share of uh State of the Union addresses.
This last uh State of the Union address was the first time that I was actually embarrassed to sit there with my children in front of that television.
I just didn't know if you noticed the fact that, you know, my kids are they're homeschooled, they're smart, they know the condition of the nation, they know what it used to be, what it is now, and and they're they know that you know 25, 27 million people are out of work, 40 million plus folks have lost their home.
My kids are aware of that.
And they're watching the State of the Union address, and it seemed like it was more like a Saturday morning cartoon that there was so much jovialist and laughing and and and and and taunting the Republicans and making the Democratic.
And plus it was defensive and it was petulant, and it was childlike, and there was not one word of motivation or inspiration in that entire speech.
Amen.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Hosting open line Friday from the sunny climbs of the EIB's Southern Command.
Open Line Friday, of course, we go to the phones.
The callers control the content of the program.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average down 107 points.
Meanwhile, Obama is out touting how he has brought us back.
We are climbing out of the hole we found ourselves in.
Yet the real money cannot be manipulated.
Obama can manipulate the jobs numbers all he wants, but he cannot manipulate the real money on Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial average down one oh seven.
They are not buying this unemployment number.
Look at anybody with half a brain knows it's bogus.
We've added a million jobs lost that we didn't count last year.
We're up to say eight million from seven million.
We've lost twenty thousand jobs in January.
And the unemployment rate drops.
Three-tenths of a point?
Uh-uh.
No way.
Even the new math people understand this.
So everybody knows the numbers here are cooked.
So that they're not buying the unemployment numbers.
Blaming Europe is only going to go so far here.
You know, the Obama apologists are trying to focus all this blame on Europe, but don't doubt the fact that people with real money in the game are frightened to hell of Obama's budget.
They are frightened to hell that he won't give up on health care.
And now they're gonna they'll blame the snowstorm.
Big snowstorm, two feet maybe in Washington and uh and New York.
Real money is on the line, not government backed, not government financed or government created money on the line.
People tend to dummy up and hoard theirs.
And it is happening.
Now a question.
Look at I may be Rush Limbully here, but I just have to ask a question.
I want to know how Europe can be having economic problems at all.
I somebody's gonna have to explain this to me.
How can they be having economic problems at all as well as huge deficits?
Don't all of these countries have socialized medicine?
They do.
Well, hasn't President Obama told us that nationalizing our health care system will solve our deficit problems, that the number one contributor to our deficit is our rising health care costs.
And by nationalizing and socializing health care, we can solve the deficit problem.
Well, if that's true, then how come there are deficit problems in Europe?
They've all got socialized medicine.
By the way, that Canadian premier that had to come down here for heart surgery.
He said he could not get what he needed in Canada anywhere.
Which is why he came here.
And Obama, Obama was just praising Spain recently, wasn't he?
High speed trains, infrastructure improvements.
And now we hear that Spain's an economic basket case, impossibly high deficits and unemployment.
And they've got high taxes too.
I mean, this is hilarious.
Obama is really in a bubble.
He is trying to convince you that his alternative reality is real.
And it's not.
From the Los Angeles Times blog today from Andrew Malcolm.
The crucial independent voters of notoriously independent New Hampshire, the ones who are so vital to Obama's 08 victory, are fast falling out of love with him.
A new WMUR granite state poll of 500 voters by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center finds the president's support has slipped below 50% now amongst independents.
In the early 2008 Democrat primary, voters preferred Hillary to Obama, 3936.
So come November, uh they gave Obama 54 and McCain 45.
And now only 48% approve of Obama's presidential job.
The main sticking point is the economy.
The longer he is in office, the more responsible uh he is held for high unemployment and other sour economic news.
As, and he can continue to blame Bush all he wants, like a little child, he continued to try it, and no doubt he will continue to blame Bush.
By the way, I've reminded of something.
We've got that cafe, the NBC cafeteria sign in honor of Black History Month.
Fried chicken, collard greens.
It's a giant sign as you walk into the cafeteria.
And I'm reminded what happened to Fuzzy Zeller at the Masters after Tiger first won there.
And Fuzzy was asked what he would say to Tiger.
I just hope you don't bring fried chicken to the champions dinner next year.
And he lost Kmart, which is a million dollar endorsement.
He lost all kinds of endorsements.
And uh, you know, there was some, I happen to know there's some people that would not let that die.
Then here's NBC.
Hey, we're not only talking about it, we are offering in honor of Black History Month fried chicken.
The only thing that's not on the menu is watermelon.
Now, how could I, Snerdley?
How could I do a media tweak and turn this into my having written the sign?
How how how could I how could I, because this is what they did with Rama Manual and the R-word thing is I I started it all.
So NBC in their cafeteria has got this sign in honor of Black History Month, uh fried chicken.
Uh yeah, since I mentioned watermelon, that's right.
They'll put me in there.
Limbaugh insulted blacks on his program yesterday by saying a fried chicken dinner is not complete without watermelon.
Uh you know what?
Let's let that tell you what let's call that's what I'm gonna do.
That's what I'm gonna do next month or next week on Monday.
We'll be here Mondays.
President's day, but we're gonna be here.
We're gonna call a place, we're gonna have chicken strips, chicken breasts, white chicken meat delivered here for the whole staff.
Well, I know Sterley doesn't eat meat, but but he can at least smell it.
And we will have uh we'll make a big deal.
We'll and collard greens.
We have collard greens and the watermelon.
We'll bring it all in here.
What doesn't matter?
Snerdley doesn't like he can't eat chicken.
He's a vegan, and he doesn't like uh watermelon.
Well, the rest of the staff does, but that's not the point, Snerdley.
The boy you're still you'll still be black enough to criticize.
Don't don't worry about that.
I uh But what I'm gonna do is is is uh make a big deal.
And we're gonna turn this around.
You watch by Monday, since they haven't reported the NBC sign anyway, that's only because a couple employees were offended and took pictures with their cell phones and it's out of the net.
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Well folks, don't tell anybody we're gonna do this.
Psst keep it between us.
Don't tell anybody.
We're gonna we're gonna make a big deal of ordering fried chicken and watermelon for the whole staff here on Monday.
Honor of Black History Month.
I know what's gonna happen.
We both we all know what's going to happen.
Hopefully I'll I'll sharpton the Reverend Jackson will go ballistic here.
Uh this and then on our website we can put the picture of the NBC cafeteria sign.
Okay.
Quick timeout here.
Open line Friday will continue, and we'll be back before you know it.
Okay, I just put the order in over the break.
Fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, watermelon, lunch for the staff here at the EIB Southern Command on Monday in honor of Black History Month.
By the way, Spain is also highly touted as the future of green energy.
Spain infrastructure, fast trains.
Oh, yeah, green energy, they're showing the way.
They're bust.
They're bankrupt.
What's the question, Snarly?
No barbecued ribs.
No barbecued ribs.
Don't don't complicate this.
You don't eat, you don't eat you want some tofu, we'll get some fried tofu.
But we uh you don't eat barbecued ribs anyway.
Now I'm gonna show the picture.
On the ditto cam.
Let me uh let me zoom in, uh zoom in tight here.
I'm on machine, there we go.
Uh it's this is the cell phone picture that went out.
Let me uh s put it up there.
This is a cell phone picture that went out.
It was taken by a member of the band Jimmy Fallon show.
This is the commissary at 30 Rock, NBC, in honor of Black History Month.
Fried chicken, collared greens with smoked turkey, white rice, black-eyed peas, jalapeno cornbread.
You see it.
I want to provide video of this so it can be spread even further.
All the way across the world wide web.
And of course, it helps that our camera here is HD, which will obscure um not obscure the uh the quality of the whole thing.
So that's that's the picture.
That's at 30 rock.
And again, the the employee, NBCU employee was Quest Love.
Uh so far, one million people on Twitter have seen it.
Uh Quest Love is the band leader and drummer for the Roots, which is the house band on late night with uh with Jimmy Fallon.
All right, back to the phones.
Connie in Lucky, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Ditto's and God bless Rush.
Thank you.
I just wanted to know now that you've had a taste of winning a dance contest, would you consider going on dancing with the stars if they asked?
Oh gosh, no way.
Oh.
No, wait.
I mean, I I'd have to take six months off.
Oh.
I mean, dancing with the stars is a five-day a week thing.
All the practice, all the rehearsing, you gotta learn how to do it, and then all the taping the TV shows.
I uh I I I could not do it.
I literally could not do it.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, because I would love to see you doing it.
Well, it might be fun to do it, but I I shall take the time.
Oh no, I couldn't.
I couldn't even think about it.
I mean, it's a full-fledged television show.
Yeah, people work on those things five days a week.
Yeah, okay.
Well, I just wondered, because uh, you know, I've always wanted to see you uh doing something different, and when you won the dance contest like that, I thought it was pretty cool.
It was a lot of people, and the left was a particularly upset about it.
Uh they were hoping for all kinds of racist and sexist fallout of my being a judge at Miss America, and it was just the opposite.
Anyway, Connie, thank you very much.
Glad you called.
Here's Joe, cell phone from Atlanta.
Open line Friday, your next.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Uh I have the one point I wanted to make, and then I wanted to make a suggestion, not in any way to help you, because you you are the man, but uh you know I'm watching TV like everybody else, and I hear them do everything they can to tout their unemployment numbers as not being as bad as they are by leaving out people that are not looking for jobs as if they're still not employed or unemployed.
And then when they want to talk about health care, they look under every stone on that there is to call somebody uninsured even though they're looking for a job in between jobs.
Solid point.
Excellent point they never do count the people who've given up looking but when they find even a you know a a sea turtle that doesn't have a that have a health insurance they talk about it.
That's right and and I look at that I'm like are people that naive or that you know blind to the fact that I mean it's just blatant lying to the American people some people are because some people only see headlines.
Remember now every television network is only reporting the headline unemployment drops the 9.7 that's it.
I mean it's it it's that the trick the trick here is not just lying about the number but making the number the only story.
That's right.
Hey and I had a couple since they've taken the liberty to create this uh new thing of jobs created or saved.
I thought maybe any time a Democrat's in office can we come up with uh number of poor maintained elevated or saved number of middle class number of middle class maintained elevated or demoted and number of upper class maintained demoted into poverty.
Can we start tracking them I think we should we could do that.
The census can certainly do that beginning now.
I mean we're getting ready to tabulate all that kind of stuff.
I've got a story here where did I put it it's about how the middle class is vanishing more and more people becoming homeless.
Ah I'll find it.
I got it you've got me for one uh I'm back reading my history books I'm going back and I'm trying to tell everybody I know I got a degree from college but I got my master's uh listened to you even at PhD and I thank you for at least putting this little boy back to work reading my history because uh God bless you sir I love this country and I'm glad your ticker's doing good and you keep up the good fight and I'll be I'll be helping you in my small little way.
God bless you sir thank you very much.
Sincerely appreciate that it was one week ago today.
We were out in Las Vegas one week ago today and I discovered a new kind of Zygam.
Dawn had it with her the breath spray type of Zycam.
It is a breast mint flavored and you spray it four different areas in your mouth whenever you think you're coming down with a cold and the effect is immediate.
You can't drink anything very long after it you every three hours or as often as you want actually because it is a breath well you not as often as you want but I mean it won't hurt you but it's just it's it's a breath mint as well great mint flavor.
So there's another delivery system for Zycam which really does short the duration of a cold and lessen the severity of your symptoms.

Hey Russ, how are you?
Very well sir.
Thank you.
Ah thanks for taking my call I appreciate it.
Um I I'm a little uncomfortable uh calling to and and and and disagreeing with you but I I have to take issue with a comment you made last I think it was last week about uh the comment David Brooks said about um I think he was making sort of um saying that uh the Republicans shouldn't um overreach after the Scott Brown thing.
And my my point is is it is that you and I you know wish I uh uh we wish it wasn't true, but unfortunately he's he's right.
Um most Americans are not as conservative as as we think they are or we think they should be.
Um and you know, a couple of I got a couple of points that that'll sort of prove the point.
The first thing is that is what is the what was the reason what was the what is one of the main reasons why Obamacare failed.
You tell me because I don't remember ripping David Brooks for this, but you tell me Yeah, he I I think you you you tell told him that he that that he said um Republicans shouldn't overreach.
And um and then you sort of you know but well, I guess my my point is is that the main the one of the main reasons why Obamacare failed is because of the the um uh the Medicare cuts.
And uh because the the the seniors were are gonna be mad about losing their Medicare.
And Medicare is is in no no means a you know a conservative conservative issue.
I've I've had some I've had some people ask me about that.
And I'll I'll get I've gotta come back later.
I've got a break here, but I'll explain that uh anomaly in mere moments.
Obamacare did not fail because of Medicare cuts.
It failed because it didn't reduce costs, it didn't guarantee you could keep your plan if you wanted to.
It did raise taxes, it did add to the deficit, and after raising costs and adding to the deficit, it didn't cover everyone.
Everybody knew it was not a health care bill.
