Time Text
Well, this is just wonderful, folks.
The second half of the healthcare summit just kicked off 20 minutes late.
I want to ask you if you're watching this, would you ever envision any competent CEO running a meeting like this?
There's no objective other than to try to embarrass Republicans, but that's been blown.
There is no point.
Nobody's in charge of anything.
There is no organization.
There is simply no end game here.
There's no reason for the meeting.
If I were the Republicans in what I would have said, I'd have said, we'd be happy to do this, but we're going to do it on gotomeeting.com.
We'll see you on the computer.
They're bussing everybody up there to Blair House in actual buses rather than letting these guys drive up individually.
Anyway, welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network.
800-282-2882.
The email address, El Rushbo at EIBNet.com, a blogger.
Who is this guy?
Bungalow Bill.
Bungalow Bill, commenting on the unfortunate death at SeaWorld yesterday, where that whale pulled a trainer in there and it was over.
We know more about Tillikum, the killer whale, in five hours than we knew about Obama before the election.
The mainstream media failed to report on Obama's college days, his birth certificate, drug use, associations with Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, connections to Acorn, his participation with the Annenberg Project, how he used the courts to win earlier elections, his direction towards communism, radical beliefs, racial beliefs, all the dirty little secrets hidden so Obama could assume office.
And now that he's president, they fail to dig in deeply into the health care plan, the stimulus plan, and all the other controversial stuff leading towards socialism.
I haven't heard the mainstream media discuss Obama's desire to track Americans with their cell phones and increase wiretapping capabilities, yet they screamed that Bush was listening in on terrorists.
And he quotes the soundbite we played from just before the election, Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw, with a whole discussion of what they didn't know about Obama.
Oh, I don't know really what books he's read.
I don't know who he listens to.
I really have no idea what books.
I haven't seen the list of people that he considers very important.
We really don't know, Charlie.
That's a terrible thing.
We don't know.
But in less than a day, we know everything we need to know about this killer whale.
We know where it was born.
We know who its parents were.
We know which tanks it lived in.
How many people have died around this killer whale and all the other details the media managed to dig up about the killer whale?
But we don't know anything about Obama.
We know everything about this whale.
And this whale's a serial killer whale.
Three humans so far.
And in every instance, they think the whales are just playing and they don't know their own strength.
They're just tossing the victims around and they're drowning.
That's one of the things I read today.
Now, if I didn't know better.
Oh, can we jip?
I don't even know.
It's Tom Dungheep Harkin now speaking.
I just want to hear a little bit of this.
It's got to be good.
I'm writing to voice my concern regarding my family's rapidly escalating health care costs on Saturday.
There we go.
Stop the tape.
It's sob story after sob story after sob story.
Remember Louise Slaughter with the sob story of the day and indentures that some woman in her district has to wear of a dead person because she can't afford her own.
Okay, jip it.
$16.20.
This is a 14.6% increase and will result in a yearly cost of $18,194.40 for very concerned, folks.
Very concerned.
Our monthly health insurance premium was $373.50 per month.
Tom Harkin read a letter from a constituent.
Which had a lower deductible and covered three of the insurance.
Complaining about how evil insurance companies are killing off his whole family.
Healthcare costs are out of control, and as a self-employed individual, I feel powerless.
At the current rate of increase, by the time I reach Medicare age, my premiums will cost $42,000 per year.
As a farmer, I manage risk on a daily basis.
What is any of this half-time?
Weather, weeds, insects, and fluctuating commodities.
I have not yet found a lot of money.
This is all about trying to position Republicans as big friends of killer insurance companies.
People have been denied access to coverage under more economic insurance plans.
Do it for Paul!
Stuck in an expensive pool.
One more time.
Do it for Paul!
The best option would be for the U.S. Congress to pass comprehensive health care reforms.
Obama looking on concerns.
Very, very concerned about this.
The future of my small business depends on it.
Sincerely, Raymond Smith, Buffalo Center, Iowa.
Mr. President, we spent, I hear talk about, well, we've got to start over and do all this thing again.
You know, we spent one year considering a range of ideas from experts from all over the political spectrum.
Obama very concerned now.
Two committees, the Help Committee under the able leadership of Senator Dodd, the Finance Committee under the leadership of Senator Baucus, held over 100 bipartisan meetings and walkthroughs to discuss this bill.
Our bill contains over 147 distinct Republican amendments.
Now, on the issue of health insurance reform, of the 10 key elements in the House bill, we have nine of them in our bill.
Senator Harkin rush Limbaugh here.
And I would like to voice my concern about my family's rapidly rising tax bill.
I figure the House over half of what I earn will be in the hands of people like you.
I don't know if I can go on that way, Senator.
Can we talk about my family's rapidly rising federal tax bill, Senator?
Don't let me send you a sob story letter on that.
Will Obama look concerned when you read that letter?
So I think we're very close on this.
Senator Harkin, do you have any other letters from constituents complaining about the rising tax burden and the pain and suffering it's causing their farm family?
We can take an incremental type of an approach.
Do you have any letters of abuse via hospital, Senator?
We don't have to do anything else.
Any letters about being turned down from Medicaid or Medicare?
You can only do that if everybody's in the pool.
You can only get everybody in the pool if you make it affordable for middle-class families and others.
You can only make it affordable.
Senator Harkin, could we put together an income tax pool?
I could join a whole bunch of other citizens or reduce my overall rate because you would agree on a cheaper rate if we all pooled our resources for income taxes, Senator Harkin.
Without doing it altogether at all.
I see a picture of President Obama seat.
Ew, he's still very deeply concerned, ladies and gentlemen, in a story being told by Tom Harkin.
Deeply, deeply concerned.
And he found it to be a debacle because the insurance premiums skyrocketed.
New Hampshire, Kentucky, and Washington were forced to repeal their reforms because of that.
Case in point, Massachusetts in the 90s put in health insurance reforms or anything else.
Individual market premiums doubled.
Who runs Massachusetts?
Four years ago when they did their comprehensive reform, put the package together.
Do you know that the president's own network has stopped covering you?
They're covering the Olympics?
You can't do this incremental approach.
Every time I hear about, you know, we're sinking.
We're drowning in this country on health care.
They're showing hockey, Senator.
They're showing hockey on the Obama network who's 50 feet offshore drowning.
Women's hockey to boot.
Women's hockey to boot.
You say, well, it didn't matter.
Your own TV network, Senator Harkin.
Next time.
Then we'll throw him at 30 foot.
By that time, the swimmers drowned.
And that's what's going to happen.
There's a race mission.
Senator Harkin, there's a time limit on Democrats filibustering during the health care summit here.
By the time, if we do this kind of incremental type of an approach that I hear others talking.
President Obama, do you feel we need to stop this?
I mean, he's rambling on incoherently, making less sense than you have been.
I'd like to put this in a different kind of a contextual framework.
Different, whoa, no.
We don't allow segregation in our country.
Yes, we do.
Conservatives are not allowed in a lot of places.
National origin, etc.
President Obama, President Obama, this is a talking point alert.
Talking point alert.
All this is talking points.
President Obama, you've got to stop this.
This is nothing.
This is Harkin using statecraft, Obama.
It's nothing more than talking points.
Harkin, don't you realize the campaign's over?
And you won.
Why should we?
Why should we?
Obama's very concerned still.
Allow that to happen.
It's time to stop segregating.
That's why insurance reform is so vital.
Because the health insurance industry in this country is based on a flaw.
What's that?
And the flaw is their ratings are based on segregating people because of their health.
It's exactly what your own health care bill does.
It's exactly what your own health care bill does.
Have you heard of the deaths?
You're segregating people out because of their health status.
Do it for Paul.
Do it for Paul.
I sold insurance.
I was an insurance agent when I was a young man.
And you worked in that hated industry?
I've never forgot.
How many people did you screw?
People in the pool, cheaper it is for everybody.
You start to sell.
Because everybody sells insurance.
You're screwing everybody.
How many people screw what he sold insurance?
Segregating people on the basis of health.
Let's think about that.
It's time to stop that kind of segregation in our country.
Senator Senator.
Why don't you want to talk about Obama's health care bill?
What the hell is it you're talking about when you sold insurance and segregation and civil rights?
Thank you very much.
On the issue of insurance reform and pre-existing conditions, there are...
All right, well, there you heard just a little bit of the back and forth.
That last one between.
Well, that's it.
I guess everybody's getting tired of this now.
But that was Senator Harkin, ladies and gentlemen, not talking about the Obama bill, but rather getting in some comment there about segregation.
And I was not making it up.
Obama's own network is now showing Olympic women's hockey.
And yes, Snerdley, they are wearing clothes.
We'll be back.
Yeah, I'm not going to play the whole thing, but I just want you out of it standing by out there because remind people what I was doing.
So in the spirit of bipartisanship, ladies and gentlemen, Tom Harkin compares opponents to health care to segregationists.
Let me see if I understand what he was saying.
If everybody is not part of a government-run health care system, it's like segregation.
That's what he was saying.
If we're not all part of a government-run system, there's segregation out there.
Tom Harkin is one of the biggest loads in the Senate, is all I can say.
He is just one of the biggest loads.
All right, tell me, is this not a good day for me to share with you a new feature from the Heritage Foundation for members?
It's a great day because this is Obama holding his press stunt of a so-called health summit.
You know, askheritage.org.
Well, you can now send questions to the Heritage Foundation researchers, and you may well get an answer from these PhD-educated folks.
I had a meeting with the Heritage Foundation people last time they were here, and I said, you know, you've called the site, askheritage.org, and by God, I would love to ask you people so many questions.
You know what?
We'll make that available.
And they're announcing it today.
Now, I don't normally make a big deal out of this kind of thing because you can get all the answers you need here, frankly.
But for those of you who like to stay after school and ask more questions, you now have a renowned think tank to follow up with one of our EIB partners, the Heritage Foundation.
Now, there are all kinds of reasons to be a member in good standing with Heritage, including this one.
Now, the opportunity to ask them specific questions.
I mean, this is like being able to call one of these brainiacs in there, one of these conservative brainy acts, and to have them help you understand something if you need it.
The odds are you won't because you listen to me.
But if after the show is over, something comes up and you can't listen to me, Heritage Foundation, the website titled AskHeritage.org, $25 minimum donation required, and it is worth it.
And this new feature is absolutely phenomenal.
Okay, Detroit, Michigan.
Don, as we go back to the phones, great to have you with us, sir, on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Great to talk to you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to share a small story with you, unlike these teeth stories you've been hearing today.
My wife, after a routine blood test, was diagnosed with a little bit of a high sugar, and they needed to monitor it.
I'm currently unemployed and uninsured, and I went to one of the best hospitals here in Detroit.
They not only did the tests, they gave us all the literature, the education, the equipment, the medical devices, and everything to monitor her blood work.
And they didn't ask me for a dime.
So, you know, all these sob stories I've been hearing is maybe one out of 100.
I don't know what the risk is.
You know what?
That's exactly right.
And you talk about props.
This has been nothing but a giant prop.
Every Democrat's gotten up there and read a letter from a constituent or told some sob story.
And it all adds up, boy, how unfair or rotten this country is.
How mean the people in the insurance business are.
How mean the people in the healthcare business are.
We need to do something about that.
And they've only been talking about this for 30 years this way.
Tom Colbert made the point, Mr. President, you go to the emergency room, you got covered.
It's the law.
And nobody who doesn't get treatment in this country.
And we've heard the horror stories.
Something like 10 people in some little Texas hospital account for over 6,000 emergency room visits over three years.
Yeah, really.
By the way, folks, have you noticed something today?
Have you noticed how all these Republicans sound just like Tom Harkin?
Have you noticed how all these Republicans sound just like all the Democrats at this thing today?
You missed that, certainly?
You missed that?
Well, then you obviously don't have your mind right or it's not screwed on properly because there's no difference.
The big difference my foot.
There's no difference.
Everybody knows it's all a seas.
People are all inside the beltweight taxers and spenders.
It's all the same bunch of people.
My email from my listeners is telling me that every day here.
A lot of people want to, why were you shouting?
Do it for Paul.
Do it for because of this.
This is a Wellstone memorial.
For Paul Wellstone, will you stand up and keep fighting for social and economic justice?
Say yes.
For Paul, for Paul, will you stand up and keep fighting for better wages, for those who mop our floors and clean our bathrooms, for those who take care of our elderly, take care of our sick, teach our kids and help our homeless?
Say yes!
For Paul, will you stand up and keep fighting for cleaner air and cleaner water, for a cleaner environment for our children and our future?
Say yes!
For Paul!
For Paul, will you stand up and keep fighting for peace and understanding and to stop the exploitation of women and children around the world?
Say yes!
All right, that's enough.
That's Wellstone Memorial in October, the 29th of October, 2002.
That is Tom Harkin doing it for Paul.
Gail in Pahrumpf, Nevada.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, Rach.
It's a great honor to speak to you.
Thank you.
What I have heard and noticed today and through this whole week, Barack Obama says, okay, this is our benchmark.
We're going to start with my plan.
But what has happened is he didn't count on the Republicans coming in and say, okay, let's start with your plan.
We don't like this, this, this, and.
And so what it is, is he's just dumbfounded that they even know what they're talking about.
That the benchmark that he set is exactly where they started from.
He doesn't want them to talk about that.
And I think they're coming out wonderful.
Because I agreed with you.
I didn't want them to go.
I'm glad they did.
I am too.
I had to admit moments ago I was wrong.
Yeah, I know.
I put that down as one.
Yes, yes.
And what they were ready to do is they wanted to discuss the differences, what they disagreed with.
That's not what he wanted to do.
Yes, but it is.
See, he's being caught in his own lie because he did say, let's come up and see where we can find common ground.
And he said, but we're not starting over.
The starting point, you're right.
The baseline is my bill.
But he doesn't even know what's in it compared to our guys.
So that's a great analogy that you had there.
The Republicans are doing exactly what Obama asked them to do, and he can't keep up.
And now his own network, folks, you may think it's a contract with the Olympics for women's hockey?
His own network's bummed out of this thing.
You got to go to C-SPA.
Even Fox gave up on it.
Folks, it's so bad.
We turned our microphone off.
We can't even jip it.
We joined the crowd in pulling out of there.
The only place you can watch this now is C-SPAN.
Has CNN got it on?
I don't have.
They ditched it too.
Well, that's a sure sign it's not going well for the Bamster folks.
Sure, sure sign.
Now, this latest story from the Fed Chairman Bernanke, I wonder if he was trying to sabotage the healthcare theatrics today.
With uncharacteristic bluntness, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Congress that the United States could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece, declaring that the central bank will not help legislators by printing money to pay for the ballooning federal debt.
This happened yesterday.
Now, if I'm a Republican in that room, I might read some of what the Fed chairman to the president several times because his bill hasn't been scored because he doesn't have a bill.
All the Democrat bills destroying the insurance industry are budget busters and are bigger budget busters with every passing year, which means that Obama on purpose and against the warnings now of Ben Bernanke is risking the destruction of the U.S. economy.
Mr. President, did you see what the Fed chairman said yesterday that we could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece?
And this is before we have your health care bill?
Oh, for those of you in New York and New Jersey, you are going to pay 25% of the new Obama health tax.
I'll have details for you on that when we get back.
You know, the real, the real horror stories in health care are taking place in Great Britain and in Canada.
This is from Reuters.
An independent inquiry said Tuesday of this week that it had found shocking standards of care at National Health Service Hospital Trust in the Midlands, including patients being left unwashed for up to a month.
The inquiry's chair, Robert Francis, said many patients treated by the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust had suffered horrific experiences that'll haunt them and their loved ones for the rest of their lives.
I heard so many stories of shocking care.
The deficiencies at the trust were systemic, deep-rooted, too fundamental to brush off as isolated incidents.
And I don't even want to give you details of what some of this stuff was.
People laying around in their own filth.
It was just, and this is nationalized health care over in Great Britain.
And every seems like every week, we get more and more just horror stories coming out of there about what it's turning into.
Snurdley, you'll be interested in this.
This is from AOLNews.com, pole dancing.
And people who pole dance are pushing for it to become an Olympic sport.
Pole dancing, the titillating mainstay of strip clubs throughout the globe, may one day be an Olympic sport.
K.T. Coates, a pole dancer in England, and fellow advocates are circulating a petition for a test event at the 2012 Olympics at a more formal event four years later in Rio.
Currently, they have 4,000 signatures, which seems unambitious, considering a weekend canvas of strict clubs in New York alone could probably double that number.
They've even focused this effort on Oprah.
I mean, not pole dancing on Oprah, but on Oprah Show.
Hong Kong held pole dancing championships in 2007, and other countries have similar competitions.
Now, from New York, CBS, HD, Eyeball 2 News, President Obama's new health care plan really socks it to New York taxpayers, and it's bad news for residents of New Jersey and Connecticut, too.
The numbers are eye-popping.
President Obama's plan to tax investment income to pay for his health care package would force New Yorkers to fork over an additional $4.8 billion in taxes on money they get from interest, dividends, and other investments.
But here's the rub.
A study by the Manhattan Institute finds that New Yorkers will pay 12 to 15 percent of all the money raised by the new investment tax.
New Jersey residents will pay 7 to 9 percent.
That's nearly 25 percent of the total.
The hit to area taxpayers is so staggering that experts wonder how our congressmen and senators can support it.
The question is so politically volatile that a number of congressmen did not participate in CBS2 HD Eyeball News' phone calls to see if they could support the president's plan.
Chief among them, tax cheat Charlie Wrangell, who's head of the Ways and Means Committee.
But at least one Democrat did break ranks.
Taxes on income, taxes on dividends.
We are a very high-cost state, so we'll pay a larger portion of that burden.
So I'd rather have a tax that's fairer, more across the board, something like taxing the profits of insurance companies, I think is better, said Kirsten Gillibrand.
This is a disaster for New York, said Representative Peter King.
Of all the plans by the president, this one's the worst as far as the terrible impact and damage it's going to do to New York.
You couple this with a Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial, because they still haven't given up on that taking place in New York.
I mean, it's bad news.
Who's next?
Marie in Kansas.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
It's so good to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Well, I kind of just wanted to change gears a little bit.
The reason I called was to talk about education, not healthcare, because I'm a public educator.
And today was the only day I had to call.
Yesterday, I was at a curriculum planning meeting, and they're talking about changing the curriculum so much for kids starting in middle school, not teaching them history anymore.
Wait, hold on.
They're going to just wipe history from the curriculum?
Yes.
In the middle school in Kansas.
Where in Kansas is this?
You don't want to say.
That's why I suppose.
No.
It's rural.
You know what surprises me about this?
Nothing.
No, no, no, no.
I'm being serious.
Let me tell you what surprised me.
History is the vehicle they're using to pollute kids' minds with current events.
They're using history classes to advocate global warming, to advocate Obama's presidential agenda, to trash conservatives and Republicans.
There's a lot of places where history is not even being taught at all.
It's being written every day under the guise of history, but it's basically current events, politics being taught.
I'm surprised that they would.
Why do they want to do this?
Okay.
This is the reason that they want to completely stop teaching history and social studies is because they want to start teaching real-world economics and start teaching them about their future.
And this isn't all.
They want to start in elementary school, all through middle school, gearing them toward a specific career so that when they're in high school, they will essentially be working toward that career, not getting a well-rounded education so that in college they can, you know, maybe have a history class, maybe have a fine arts class, choose what they want to do.
And in high school, they'll be working in their career.
So they want to put them in this little box and only teach them these little things so that they're just like robots.
You know, this sounds very familiar the way the ChiComs do it.
They orient kids toward one specific area that the state needs help in, and they educate them on that, and that's it.
And if they find these gifted students that are really smart, then they assign them maybe to the party and give them the party apparatus as well.
They used to do that in the Soviet Union.
But why can't you do both?
Why can't you teach history and real-world economics?
I mean, how long is a school day in rural Kansas?
Well, right now, we're extending it just a little bit.
It's about eight hours.
I have just been informed that in Palm Beach County, which is where we are here, that in three years or three years ago, three years ago, it's already in place here, three years ago, when you enter the ninth grade, you are mandated to select a major career.
How is that a well-rounded education?
I don't know.
It's just, it's very frustrating, and it's so frustrating to the point that I just almost don't want to be a part of it.
Then if I quit, who's going to say no?
Who's going to be an advocate?
Well, see, I could teach real world economics here in five seconds.
Real world economics is Republicans are evil, corporations are evil, and capitalism is immoral.
And of course, if you can repeat that, you get an A, and we'll move you on to the next subject.
Look, the subject of education has been one that has interested me for a long time, but not in the traditional soppy way.
We must educate our children.
We must educate our children because I get so sick and tired of talking about funding and more money and education.
The education system missed me.
See, I knew when I was nine years old what I wanted to do, and they didn't care.
They went the well-rounded route.
Now, I understood it.
It's their business to educate people.
There are people who are trained specialists at educating people.
And they have to do it in a mass way because, you know, 30 to 40 people in a class.
I'm talking about my little high school and junior high.
But that was what was frustrating for me about it because, you know, I knew what I wanted to do.
And so little of what I had to do was oriented towards it.
And I talked to my mom and dad about it because I skipped school.
I just, especially when I got my first radio job in 16, I'd hang around the radio station all day.
And son, they didn't understand.
They came out of Great Depression.
The opportunity for education was like the greatest gift that you could have.
And I said, I'm bored.
I don't care.
I don't like the social aspects of it.
I don't like the teachers.
Son, you're not old enough to know what's good for you on this yet.
Educators do.
My dad was, whatever happened in school, they were right and I was wrong.
That's just the way the way it was.
But I'll be honest, I did soak up a lot when I was in school.
I did soak up a lot that I didn't know I was soaking up.
But there's a lot that I learned that I, courses I took in school, I took all the way up to calculus.
I don't even know what it is now.
I did okay in geometry, but I never use it.
And I don't know if I could now.
There's a lot of stuff that when you talk about a well-rounded education, I can honestly say this, that when I finally quit college, for all the reasons I've told you, I'll maybe rehash them.
It was probably about six months later when I had moved away from home, and suddenly, like a big slap in the face, I realized I was going to have to demonstrate what I know because I don't have a piece of paper that says I know anything.
I don't have a diploma.
I got a high school diploma, but big whoop.
But I don't have this magic diploma from some college that tells anybody I'm educated.
And that's what gets your foot in the door in an interview.
After that, it doesn't mean anything.
So that's when I actually started reading voluminously, omnivorously.
That's when I started trying to soak up everything I could that interested me.
Now, I'm not saying I am self-educated because I did spend all those years in school.
I did soak up a lot of stuff, and particularly American history, literature, and stuff.
But I'm convinced that I did more learning and acquiring of knowledge.
Well, I know it's true because I'm still doing it, and I've been out of school a lot longer than I was in it.
And that's another thing I found out about people.
People, when they graduated college, they thought that was it.
The paper, the diploma said it all, and their curiosity ended.
They had met the objective of being educated.
I haven't fulfilled it yet because I never will.
It's an ongoing thing.
As long as you're alive and as long as you're curious, you're going to be learning things.
Like, I didn't know what a cargo cult was until a couple days ago.
And now I know that a cargo cult is basically Obama, but I had never heard of it.
So the whole subject of education is a fascinating thing to me because we do put faith in the people who are trained educators.
Here's how to best give a young person a well-rounded education.
But I have to tell you something.
If I was nine, and if somebody had been able to say, you know, I want to learn everything I can about the talent skills necessary for broadcasting, I would have soaked it up and they would have not been able to get me out of that school.
But instead, I was told, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not even going to stick with that.
It's impossible that somebody nine years old knows what they want to do, or 12 years old, even.
So I don't know.
I've mixed emotions about it, but I understand your suspicions because a bunch of libs are now running these institutions.
And the whole notion of not teaching history is, I know exactly what that's about.
That is about making sure that those kids don't have the slightest idea what America really is all about, what it has been, and what it can still be.
Back after this.
And we are back.
Ladies and gentlemen, CNN just rejoined the healthcare summit, and I think I know why.
The Democrat plan for the second half is just to run out the clock.
They're holding on to the ball.
The Republicans are not even allowed to say anything.
Here's the time, the way the time broke down in the morning session.
The Democrats spoke 108 minutes, the Republicans 56 minutes, and here's the breakdown.
Obama, 58 minutes, but he said he didn't count because he's president.
He actually said that.
Obama spoke 58 minutes.
The Republicans spoke 56 minutes.
Democrats spoke 50.
So if you add Democrats and Obama, it's 108, and the Republicans for 56 minutes.
I think CNN probably joined because it's nothing but Democrats now.
They're running out the clock.
They've gone into prevent defense.
Jay Rockefeller has diarrhea of the mouth.
Obama has diarrhea of the mouth.
Won't shut up.
Biden bambling on and on and on and on.
What's happening here in the afternoon session is a deliberate attempt to shut out the opposition, just like they did last year.
Republican ideas were never welcome, and Republican ideas are not welcome today.
They got skunked in the morning session, and so they're not having any more of that.
Ladies and gentlemen, I told you I got a letter, and I accidentally saw this.
20th Century Fox animated division, it's Family Guy and Simpsons and all that.
Their computers were stolen in there, and on the computers are all the contracts that they had with people, including identity numbers, social security, contract details, and so forth and so on.
And I said, look, we just, we need you to know this, even though our computers have been stolen, their password protected, but we still want you to know this.
So I just, I called the buddies I have at LifeLock and I said, okay, put a double, triple alert by my name and social security number there because somebody's stolen some computers with it on there.
And I have no fear.
I am not worried about it.
But I asked myself, what would I feel like if I got that letter and I did not have any identity theft protection?
I would have been because you don't want to lose your idea.
known people that had this happen to them and it's the last thing in the world you want to have to go through trying to restore your identity.
LifeLock is going to stop identity theft better than anybody else does.
Their number is 800-440-4833 and you can save 10% off your membership simply by mentioning my name.
That's 800-440-4833 for Lifelock.
Call them now and get rid of having any fear at your identity being stolen.
Back, my friends, to wrap it all up after this.
Boy, oh boy, oh, folks, Paul Ryan just stuck it to Obama.
We represent the American people.
They don't want the government doing this.
They want to handle this themselves.
Obama's sitting there with two fingers over his mouth, one of them the middle finger.
I mean, he was getting mad.
Paul Ryan was just taking it right to him.
We'll have it sound like for you tomorrow.
It was just, it was really great.
Now, who's going to judge pole dancing at the Olympics?
People have been asking me.
Easy.
Elliot Spitzer, client number nine, Bill Clinton.
Anybody who goes to strip clubs is going to have to be a judge, right?
Tiger, John Edwards.
