Time Text
Greetings and welcome back.
It's Rush Lindbaugh serving humanity, all the while meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
It is Friday.
Lots to do.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And that means when we go to the phones, you get to talk about whatever you want.
You control the content of the program.
That's not the case Monday through Thursday.
Telephone numbers 800 282.
2882.
And the email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com from real clear politics.
I don't have the audio of this show.
I mean, I may say Cookie's been working hard all week.
I may not even send the audio bite up to her to you.
But the Democrats are going south on Obama here.
This is Jay Rockefeller.
And it's uh it's a video.
Maybe it's an audio.
I don't know.
Whatever.
Here's what he says.
Obama is beginning to be not believable to me.
Jay Rockefeller, Senator West Virginia.
He says, I'm for clean coal, and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn't say it in here.
And he doesn't say it in the minds of my own people.
He's beginning to not be believable to me.
Senator Rockefeller, may I help?
Obama does not like clean coal and will do everything he can to get rid of it.
We tried to tell your voters this in the campaign of 08.
Senator Rockefeller, look around you, sir.
He's destroying every institution that has made this the greatest country on earth.
He has launched an assault on every one of you think any kind of coal fits his green energy agenda, Senator?
Any kind of coal can fit clean coal?
There's no such thing when you compare it to his mythical green energy sector.
What what what what what and just this is worse than a menace.
But we're still going to have to deal with it.
Suzanne Hiller, AmericanTinker.com, pretty good piece here.
And uh I say that because it sort of illustrates a point that I, El Rush will have been making for many, many moons now.
Why Obama cannot drop health care reform.
What the Republican Party fails to realize is that President Obama is fighting so hard on health care reform because the issue for him is finishing the work of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement.
Through the vehicle of health reform, Obama has some influential company in this belief.
In 2007, the Sacramento Bee covered Kaiser Permanente CEO, George Halverson.
There really are two Americas when it comes to health care, the fully insured, primarily white America, and the disproportionately uninsured minority America.
More than half the total uninsured people this country are minority.
That fact alone should make the need to cover everybody in America a pure ethical imperative.
This issue is not about economics.
It is about equality.
Universal coverage should be the next major civil rights issue for this country to face.
I think this is only one element of Obama's obsession with health care.
But I don't doubt for a moment that Suzanne Hiller is right here.
That there's a chip on this guy's shoulder about minority inequality, unfairness, and all that.
It's what he's been taught.
It's the way he was raised.
And he's going to settle score.
And he's going to return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners, who, of course, have had all of theirs that there was justified to them stolen from them by evil people.
Halverson also wrote in 2007 in an article equating health reform to the unfinished business of the civil rights agenda.
Halverson discusses the disparities between the races and health care coverage and states this.
If we considered no other issue than racial and ethnic disparities, this nation's leadership, like the leadership of a number of states, should be moving this country down the path to an American form of universal coverage as quickly as possible.
There is no more vital or meaningful way for us to honor and extend the great legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
Well, why should we care about what this guy Halverson says?
Well, this is the same George Halverson who has met with Obama and has had several meetings in 2009 with key figures in health care, including a March 27th meeting with Keith Fontenot, who manages financial resources of government agencies related to health, a June 5th meeting with Peter Orszag, director CBO, a July 23rd meeting with Kathleen Sibelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
A July 24th meeting with Sarah Fenn, White House assistant.
Additionally, Halverson was the only insurance ex executive to meet with Kathleen Sibelius.
And just how far off is Halverson from Martin Luther King's legacy correlation.
Most of the last years of Martin Luther King have been lost, especially worth noting because most of his speeches were recorded.
Martin Luther King challenged the nation's priorities during his final years, as noted in this article.
But after passage of the Civil Rights Acts 6465, King began challenging the nation's fundamental priorities.
He maintained that civil rights laws, civil rights laws were empty without human rights, including economic rights.
For people too poor to eat at a restaurant or afford a decent home, King said anti-discrimination laws were hollow.
Anyway, goes on to make the point here that uh that this was a big deal uh to uh Dr. King.
Uh and uh it it makes this point at the end of the piece.
Obama is disingenuous when he says he seeks GOP input, as Republicans have twice introduced their version of health reform uh and then reintroduced it in late January of twenty ten.
He continuously says the Republicans haven't offered any ideas, but changes his story when face to face with the Republicans.
The GOP must grasp these truths that Obama, when he states hope and change have been the causes of my life.
They're just that.
He will not change course or come to the realization his policies are destroying the private sector and bankrupting the country, as some pundits predict.
He's not gonna ever realize that.
When you look at health care reform, each party is looking through different glasses.
Their visions of reform and the goals of reform are polar opposites.
The Democrats want a Medicare for all type reform with the federal government controlling the entire U.S. health system.
Obama's policy reflect who he is.
They are the vehicles that masquerade is hope and change, which are the mechanisms for social justice and economic justice, meaningful legislation through wealth redistribution, and now through health care reform, he will attempt to finish the job of applying positive liberties, what the government can do for you, I would say to you, ultimately attempting to forsake the Constitution, which is a charter of negative liberties, what the government cannot do to you to apply the final judgment of the civil rights movement.
Now that's part of it.
I don't doubt any of that.
But there's also the full-fledged desire on the part of Obama because he's a far-left radical.
It's about far more than the you know Constitution and negative and positive rights.
Uh, and it's about far more than Martin Luther King.
It is about the empowerment of the Democrat Party in perpetuity to control virtually every aspect of our lives.
And that's why he's not going to let it go.
And it's why the Republicans ought to have nothing to do.
They've already got a plan in place, the trick.
They've already got a plan in place to make this happen anyway, and going up there and providing any kind of assistance whatsoever.
And I know there are people all over the place that disagree with me.
Well, your president invites you, you gotta go.
You gotta go, president invite you.
Gotta go up there and make your case.
Use this as an opportunity to tell the American people That's not the way it's gonna happen.
You can't have, I don't know how many Republicans are going to be in the meeting up against one president who's called the meeting and have them have any kind of opportunity here to upstage him.
That's not the point of this.
There ought to be no fear in being the party of no, not on this issue.
I mean, even the Democrats are starting to peel away from Obama now.
He needs the Republicans because they're the ones whose poll numbers are up.
That's he needs a Republicans to save himself and get his rear end out of the fire.
And they will probably, probably cooperate.
It's open line Friday.
It's El Rush Ball behind the golden EIB microphone, and we go to Austin, Nevada.
This is Nick.
Thank you for calling, sir.
You're up.
Uh, Rush, Awesome to talk to you today.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, um, I've got I've got a series of of quick examples that could uh kind of make a nice little package as to why liberalism, statism, and Marxism is gonna fail.
And it all starts out with if you if you have a minute.
Yeah, go right ahead.
Zip zip through it for me.
Okay.
When uh just a few years ago, I decided to uh improve my knowledge of my of my trade and moved to England to study.
And when I went there, I learned some things.
Number one, I learned that during the first century A.D., it was warm enough in England that the Romans grew uh had vineyards to produce wine.
And only in the last thirty years have they been able to start growing grapes again in England to produce wine.
Yeah, that's sure the Romans wouldn't go anywhere you couldn't grow wine grapes.
Absolutely, they wouldn't.
That was a staple for them.
Number two, um, when we were there, my wife was pregnant, and uh we we experienced a bit of their national health care system, and instead of having a child there for free, we came home and without insurance, I paid out of pocket to have our child here in the States because of how much better it is here.
And then lastly, we decided uh when when our first son was born, we decided to name him Rush.
Whoa.
After you.
Whoa.
And we've taken it on ourselves to teach all of our children.
We have three and one on the way.
We're teaching them all conservative principles.
Now, the reason why I say this is a neat little package for why liberalism and statism is going to fail is because, number one, any brief review of history can teach you the flaws and the falsehoods in liberal ideology.
Well, not to douse cold water on you, but that's true.
But the public education system is not teaching those things.
People have to be exposed to them outside the public school system.
But okay, that's that's true, Rush.
But then that comes to my that comes to my last point, uh, which I'll make now instead of uh at the end, is that parents who teach their children correct principles, constitutional values, and the way to govern themselves, are also those who don't abort their children.
Uh well, obviously, I mean you can't teach an aborted child anything.
That's right.
So, you know, by just a series of of tests looking at how, you know, and anybody who's experienced liberal uh liberalism at its peak, you know, such as a Nelsh national health care plan, doesn't want any part of it.
People don't want it.
They don't enjoy it.
It's not it's not a good system.
It's not beneficial.
Well, that's that's true when they find out, and and that's what's happening here.
I'm there there is an awakening going on.
There's no question about that.
There's no question you're right about that.
I look, I'm I'm I'm glad you called Nick.
Thanks very much.
And I'm he named a child after me, not a dog.
Most people name their dogs after me.
Uh, but this guy named a ch a human being after me.
I mean, that is an honor.
And uh I I I appreciate that.
I I really do.
Okay, audio sound by time, here's Jay Rockefeller.
This is back on February 4th.
It's a little over a week ago, uh, during a Senate finance committee hearing.
Jay Rockefeller said this about Obama to Peter Orzog, the director of the OMB.
He said, Oh, I'm, you know, for clean coal.
Then he says it in speeches.
And but he doesn't say it in here, and he doesn't say it in the minds of my own people, and he's beginning to be not believable to me.
Jay Rockefeller talking about Obama.
Senator Rockefeller, like I'm telling you, if you think he likes clean coal or any kind of coal, tried to tell you.
You d does coal fit in any way, shape, manner, or form with his so-called green energy initiative of this little Malcontent?
It doesn't.
People better wake up.
You know, this this issue just won't not an issue anymore, it just won't go away.
It's funny.
This morning, ESPN's Mike and Mike in the morning, co-host Mike Golic spoke with the filling uh co-host Eric Casilius about McNabb.
And here's the question.
Golek to Casilius.
When he finally does hang them up, either leaving Philadelphia or retiring from the game.
But you have to look back, kind of with a funny face at his career in Philadelphia and how he was treated there.
It really is somewhat amazing at times how McNabb is treated in Philadelphia.
He's had a wild career.
He's had a public fight with Rush Limbaugh.
I don't mean a two of them, but it was a polarizing issue.
He's had a public fight with T.O. He's been sort of underrated in his own city and maybe overrated nationally at the same time.
It's been crazy.
What was that?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hold on a minute.
Is he still working there?
Eric Casilius just said Obama has been overrated nationally.
Donovan.
Eric Casilius just said the McNab.
What did I say?
Obama.
Well, it fits too.
Obama is vastly overrated.
Eric Castelius just said that McNabb's been overrated nationally.
Eric, if they if they zap you out of there, call me.
I got it.
I got some ideas.
You know, we've got three sound bites of Lawrence O'Donnell literally going postal without the weapon on MSNBC this morning, talking to a guy named Mark Thiessen, who's a former Bush speechwriter.
And O'Donnell loses it.
Well, I don't have time to get them all in here before the break.
I'm going to go back to the phones.
But he says that Bush invited 9-11.
He has become a truther.
We'll do it after the break here.
We come back, but I want to go back to the phones to Palm Springs.
This is Steve.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Rush Hudson Limbaugh.
How are you doing, sir?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, the wife and I had a conversation last night before I get to my point.
I told her, hey, babe, we're gonna I'm gonna be on the Rush show tomorrow.
Might want to list it in.
She says, Well, it's not like you're you're it's not like you're gonna be talking to God.
I said, Well, I uh I talk to God every day.
It's not every day I get to talk to Rush Limbaugh, so hey, listen, man.
Um I'm a pop pipeline contractor out here in Southern California, and you're right on the money about these unions, just uh taking all this all this shovel ready money that's available for me to go out and get so I can go higher and get my tax credit from Obama.
All the excuse me, I'm I'm feeling a little sick today.
Um all this money's going straight to the union.
They're the only people that can handle it.
Um as an entrepreneur.
Right, so you're telling me you're in a shovel ready business.
You're a contractor.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I'm and and believe you me, I work alongside union contractors all the time, and they they would like nothing better just for me to fall off the face of the earth, which which brings me to my next point.
Well, I mean, those are the people that can make that happen.
I mean you gotta be on guard.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we well, the um one thing you you bring the slogan back uh roll back Pelosi.
Uh well, I'm um, and this is coming straight from my heart.
This I I believe with every fiber of my being that Obama wants me, an entrepreneur in the construction industry to fail.
You know what?
I don't blame you for thinking that.
And I I hope more and more people understand whether he wants it to be the case or not, he's making it the case.
He's causing it to happen.
That ought to be enough to stop this.
By the way, big journalism.com today, uh, one of Andrew Breitbart's sites has uh got a whole bunch of posts on the uh on the whole hoax of global warming today, if you want to, and I got all kinds of great video here to just show the hypocrisy of all these people in Washington.
At any rate, here now we have these three sound bites.
Lawrence O'Donnell, who uh used to be a consultant and writer for the TV show West Wing, which liberals thought really was uh the government, uh, with Martin Sheen as the president during the Bush years.
And he's on with a former Bush speechwriter, Mark Thiessen.
I hope I'm pronouncing Thiessen's name right.
It might be Thyssen.
I'm but I've never heard it pronounced, so I'm just wild guessing out there based on the way I was educated, the way words are structured and the way you pronounce them based on where consonants and vowels fall.
Uh But people sometimes in their own names disregard those rules and come up with any pronunciation they want, like ludicrous.
Nevertheless, his book is courting disaster, how the CIA kept America Safe and how Barack Obama is inviting the next attack.
Joe Scarborough.
So let me ask you, Mark, you heard Jane Mayer say yesterday that my gosh, there's no difference between reading somebody their Miranda rights and what the military did as far as performance goes.
So why was Jane Mayer wrong yesterday in your opinion?
If you gotta think back to the period after 9-11, we didn't even know who hit us.
We didn't know that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind of 9-11 or the operational commander of Al Qaeda.
And then we started rounding up these terrorists.
We called Abu Zubeda.
We called K Ramsey Ben El Chev and KSM.
And these guys provided us information under questioning by the CIA that stopped a number of terrorist attacks.
The terror they were planning to blow up the U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan.
They were planning to blow up our marine camp in Djibouti.
They were well on their way to recruiting a cell of terrorists who were going to fly an airplane into Heathrow Airport and buildings in downtown London.
And they were going to, and KSM had recruited a cell of Southeast Asian terrorists called the Garaba cell because he knew we'd be on the lookout for uh Arab men to fly an airplane into the library tower in Los Angeles, the tallest building in the West Coast.
This program is why we did not have another 9-11 after the attack.
Now, remember the title of this book is Hy uh uh why or how Obama is inviting uh the next attack.
Uh Lawrence O'Donnell uh now responds and starts to lose it.
You as a former uh speechwriter in the White House, you took an oath of office when you took that job that you might or might not remember.
You actually publish a book that says that the president of the United States, on its title, the president is inviting the next attack.
Isn't it true that the president you worked for invited the first attack by having no idea what was going on with Al Qaeda?
You just admitted that when you were hit on 9-11.
You just said, sir, we didn't know who hit us.
You said we didn't know who hit us.
You were told who was going to get to talk about before we were hit on 9-11.
Do you and your administration invited the first attack for which you should live in shape.
Lawrence.
Mark Thiessen next comes back at him.
Listen, here's the record.
When the Obama administration's approach, this law enforcement first approach was working, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the uh bombing of the USS Cole, the bombing of Armesties and Karachi and the 9-11 attacks.
After the CIA.
Hold on a second.
Can I get a word?
Wait, wait, let's stop.
Let's stop over.
Let's stop.
No attacks.
No attack.
We're going to break right now.
Now, what's useful about this?
What's useful is that you you uh you hear, and for those of you who a couple of you that watched it, you can see and hear the pent up neck nearly insane rage and hatred these people have for George W. Bush.
And they know, they know in their hearts that this guy Obama is putting us at great risk with all of these stupid policies, Mirandizing these people, putting them on trial, uh, in in uh in federal court, uh, and so forth.
And not taking any foreign policy thing that seriously.
They just they're just I mean, at folks, they're at the tipping point.
They are at the none of this hope and change is worked out at all.
There is no utopia.
There is no profound new love and respect for America.
Uh there's nothing, nothing.
There's no health care.
Gitmo's still open.
Biden's still mouth got his mouth open.
You know, that's not a good thing.
It's just hilarious to watch this, except you know, you you brought back to reality by realizing just how serious all the consequences are.
Laura in Erie, Pennsylvania.
You're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, Professor Limbaugh.
Thank you for educating us on conservative values and the benefit to individuals and society.
Thank you.
Thank you very, very much.
Well, you're such a hero to us.
Anyway, I wanted to give you two examples.
Um, with regard to Mr. Obama, President Obama saying that uh small businesses aren't hiring because they're uh not getting loans.
Um example is a friend of mine whose um husband owns a business, and he is saying that he is not going to be hiring because um he doesn't know what the health care bill will demand as an employer for how many people he has to cover.
Um it's I don't know what the specifics are, but over 25.
the businesses have to come up with uh more money for the health care, uh, along with another example that um in our clinic we were going to merge with uh we're like a satellite clinic, we were gonna merge with a bigger business um uh doctor, OVGYN, and the person that was looking at the merger said uh we've got to be very careful because as his health care bill is coming up, we uh will only hire uh a certain amount.
We are not going to be, you know, um increasing um employees until we know what's in the health care bill.
So two prime examples that Mr. Obama does not know what he's talking about, and that you are right on that issue, uh, because there are plenty of small business people that are waiting to hear what new taxes, what new burdens they're gonna have in this healthcare language.
And um, you're right again.
Well, thank you.
I I I would love to take credit here, but it doesn't take much to be right about this.
I mean, this is when I when I heard him say uh that small businesses have enough profits now to pay their employees that they can't grow because they're not getting loans.
I I I just I was rendered almost speechless for the first time in the 20 plus years I've been hosting this program.
The level of conceit that's combined with utter ignorance is just frightening.
It's shocking, it's breathtaking.
And then if you read, and we're gonna link to it today at rushlimbaugh.com, because folks, I do not have it prints out to uh to 13 pages.
Well, it does for me because I raised the font size to make it easier to read here on the fly.
But it's it's at least 10 pages when you print this out.
It's in business week.
My policies are not anti-business, Obama says.
Let me just read you a couple things here.
Because it it is so rich.
The guy, when you read this, you can't escape the fact that he thinks he's the best thing it's ever happened to this country, and that he knows exactly what he's talking about, knows what businesses ought to do, and it's clear he's clueless, combined with this arrogant superiority conceit that he's got.
It's just amazing.
Two things troubled President Obama as he greeted Bloomberg Business Week on February 9th for a wide-ranging interview in the oval orifice.
First was the snowstorm that had crippled Washington.
Quote, Obama, I can't believe I have to shut down the federal government for a week for this.
The Office of Personnel Management is in charge of this.
But still, oh woe is me.
I can't believe I got a jet-down government approved of this.
Obama's second concern is more frustrating and far less likely to melt away.
The impression that his administration and he personally is anti-business.
At least on this day, business and the economy topped Obama's agenda.
Twenty steps from the Oval Office.
Honeywell's David Coate, and several other CEOs huddled with White House officials to provide industry input on climate change.
Here might be, ladies and gentlemen, our first clue.
There is no reason to take these people out of their businesses and have them wasting time on a stupid crap and tax bill because...
Because it is all based on a scam.
A scam being run by Obama to tax businesses even more for breathing.
How anti-business can you get?
He says he's not anti-business, and he's got these guys in there advising him on how to get his cap and tracks thing passed.
Cap and tax, pardon me.
With his economic counsel waiting outside.
Obama repeatedly expressed his disappointment that policies he believes are overwhelmingly pro-business have been misunderstood.
Oh, cool.
See, once again, ladies and gentlemen, you and I are too stupid to know what he's doing only because he's not said let me be clear enough times.
Let me be clear.
Let me be clear as he clouds and murks things up.
And he has this favorite guy he talks about, his straw man.
There are those who say that we just must do nothing when nobody is saying we shouldn't do nothing.
There are those who say that blah, blah, blah.
He makes up these people that don't exist to bounce things off of.
Obama repeatedly expressed his disappointment, policies he believes are overwhelmingly pro-biddeness have been misunderstood.
Obama even had a staffer send a follow-up email to a question about CEOs he admires with additional names, including Cote.
Verizon's Ivan Seidenberg and John Dore of Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers.
Okay, damn it, folks, that proves it.
A staffer email is all I need to know that Bam loves business.
How about you?
Has a staffer send some emails to some CEOs.
Okay, Obama digs business.
Then it starts with the excerpts of the conversation.
And I frankly, as I said, uh uh I'm looking for a really, really relaxed, peaceful weekend, and I just I don't want to go any further in this.
Uh we'll link to it at RushLimbaugh.com, but you'll you'll conclude what I have, and that is that he's clueless, dangerously, dangerously clueless.
I think this is circa 1972 T-Rex and Bangagong.
In the bumper music rotation here at the EIB Network.
We just had a Zycam commercial.
Folks, there's a new kind of Zycam out there now that we didn't mention in the recorded commercial, and it's the oral spray.
Perhaps the easiest Zycam delivery system yet.
You just open your mouth, which we all do now and then, and you spray it in there at four different spots.
Instructions will tell you where.
And it's a breath spray as well.
Comes in assorted flavors.
The uh one that I have is mint.
You just keep it with you, spray it in your mouth the moment you think you're coming down with a cold, and I guarantee you you'll shorten a duration and lessen the symptoms.
If it's a cold, if it's worse than that, of course it won't work.
But if it's a cold, you gotta catch it early.
That's the key.
So, in addition to all the other delivery systems they have with the lozenges and so forth, the spray, the and it's a typical little oral spray bottle.
It all comes in a in a in an orange box, Zycam Z-I-C-A-M.
Get this.
Just now from the Hill.com.
Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois blasted people who live in Washington for going into a full-scale panic during snowstorms, unlike people from Illinois who know how to live with it.
I first came here as a student in 1963.
I lived a big part of my life, at least part-time in Washington.
He he delivered these remarks on the Senate floor today.
On the Senate floor.
I first came here as a student in 63.
I lived a big part of my life, at least part-time in Washington.
I never could get over how people in this town reacted to snow.
I am convinced that infants born in Washington are taken from the arms of their loving mothers right when they're born into a room where someone shows a film of a snowstorm with shrieking, screaming people, so those children come to believe that snow is a mortal enemy, like a nuclear attack, because I've seen for over 40 years here, people in this town go into a full-scale panic at the thought of a snowfall.
This is on the floor of the Senate today.
I thought uh global warming.
Any rate, we joke about it.
Those of us from parts of the country that get snow and how to live with it can't get over how crazy the reaction is in Washington many times.
Durbin did acknowledge that this week's uh snowfall uh it was cause for some concern.
In fairness, this has been a heck of a snowstorm.
You had every right to be concerned.
Some of the other storms may be not, but this one's the real deal.
The floor of the Senate.
Senator Durbin, you want me to tell you why this happens.
I'll tell you why it happens.
Turn on your local news.
At the first thought that there might be snow arriving in five days, and take a look at the panic caused by the newscasters and the weather forecasters on your local news.
And then, when the middle of the storm, turn on your news and look at the reporters out there, buried in the snow, barely able to live, barely able to get alive, uh get around telling everybody else how bad it is and what to do.
Don't go out, don't drive, stock up with Food.
Oh my God, snow is falling.
This is the way it's been reported for all these many years.
Blame your local media in part.
Scott in uh Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
From the land of enchantment.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Hey, I I owe you a uh huge thank you.
I uh took your advice and gone RushProflowers.com.
Yeah.
And I got a call this morning from Staunton, Illinois.
My mom received her uh Pro Flowers uh I got a hundred blooms of love, and she just was crazy by it.
I'm telling you, it's magic.
It's just man all you had to do was either go on a website or make a phone call, right?
Yes, sir.
It went on the website.
Um I uh even got their little greeting uh Valentine's Day greeting card, and uh she was just tickled to death.
I uh I wasn't sure what she was this weekend, so I went ahead and had it mailed to her uh today.
And uh it makes your day when you get a phone call from your mom and says, you know what, I just loved it.
It was beautiful.
Right, exactly.
What now what division of Pro Flowers do you work for?
Oh, I think I don't.
I'm just kidding.
I'm it's been a long week.
It's been a long way.
I know uh I've been a little bit more than a little bit.
No, no, no.

The long day was the Super Bowl and the long night.

John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Mike Pence in the house sending a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi saying, uh, we just have heard this week that you guys have already struck a deal with health care for health care with the president, and that uh the the trick uh is to get us to go up to the White House for meeting.
Is this true?
We want to know have you already struck a deal with the president on health care?
If so, would you let us know so we can plot our further um letter hadn't gone out yet, but it's gonna go out this afternoon.
