Time Text
America's Anchorman returns tomorrow.
Till then, this is your undocumented Anchorman sitting in.
And happy to be with you from the studios of our friends at WNTK, New London, New Hampshire.
You can't miss us.
If you're in the runaway Prius doing 94 miles per hour, just head straight over the roundabout and you'll basically come flying in through our front window and we'll be happy to see you.
Live from WNTK, one of the original first 50 Rush affiliates 20-something years ago, and still proud to be part of the Rush family.
Great to be with you.
Rush was talking on Friday.
He talked to a lady who was, I think, sending her, had just sent her child to Hillsdale College in Michigan.
And Rush was talking up Hillsdale College.
And as it happened, on Friday, I was flying back from giving a talk out at Hillsdale.
A huge success, if I do say so myself.
They had to hold it in the sports arena.
I felt like you too.
I should have had some laser effects out there to accompany me in the sports arena.
But instead, I just talked up the cause of liberty, which as Rush was saying, is a big deal at Hillsdale.
And you can tell how committed to liberty Hillsdale College is by the statues they have on their campus.
These are guys you barely hear about at any other American college or university now.
When you approach, when you enter the grounds, you see the statue of Abraham Lincoln.
You advance from there, there's a statue of George Washington.
There's a statue of Thomas Jefferson.
There's a statue of Mrs. Thatcher.
And there's a statue of Winston Churchill at the dispatch box in the House of Commons in the Student Union.
Where, you know, normally if you go to the student union in most colleges, they're all just lounging around listening to their hair grow or whatever these decadent youth do these days.
But they're sipping their coffee and looking at a statue of Winston Churchill at the dispatch box in the House of Commons.
Hillsdale College is a great fan of liberty.
And Rush was talking about Larry Arn, Dr. Arne, the president of the college.
He told me, I don't know whether I should say this, I don't know whether it's off the record or on the record or whatever, but I don't really care anyway.
But he spoke to the Congressional Republicans at the same retreat that Barack Obama did.
Do you remember that thing when it was on TV?
And he was doing his little photo up with the Republicans and Paul Ryan eviscerated him, basically, eviscerated his feeble arguments live on TV.
Dr. Arn said, I spoke to the Republicans after President Obama and I was better, he said.
And he said, you know, there were a few titters.
And he said, no, it's true.
I was and I can believe it.
He's a great friend to liberty and Hillsdale College is a great friend to liberty too, as you heard if you were listening to that lady who was calling in Speak to Rush.
We've been talking about some of the strange professions, protected professions, when you get these heavily government regulated industries.
And in Greece, if you're in dangerous professions like bomb disposal or hairdressing, you're allowed to retire at 50.
Also, if you're a TV or radio host and you are allowed to retire at 50 because otherwise you'd be at risk of bacteria from the microphone.
Now, fortunately, this is not the microphone used by the regular morning guy at WNTK because he's just a cloud of bacteria when he walks in here every morning.
But this is the one that's used by like guest state reps and that kind of thing.
So who knows what they're bringing in?
But I'm confident.
And I hope there's no rock.
Have you had any rock stars using this?
Because I don't want there to be traces of cocaine on the microphone and for me to accidentally snort it and contribute to global warming, which was a report in the Daily Mirror in London today that apparently cocaine snorting causes global warming.
So this may cause Hollywood to rethink its support for the whole climate change thesis.
Although you never know, a lot of these Hollywood big shots may be responsible and start making serious efforts to reduce their carbon noseprint.
It would be good if they could set an example on that.
Also in the news, I see that Nancy Pelosi was saying that once we've got Obamacare, you'll be able to leave your dull job and become a painter, become a musician, become a poet, become a singer.
A German opera singer has been arrested for murdering her husband and then hiring a doppelganger to impersonate him, which sort of defeats the point of murdering your husband if you then hire a guy who looks like him to play the part of your husband.
But the soprano Voltroid Hill has been charged with murder and fraud over the death of her husband, 71, a wealthy fisherman.
These are the phrases, by the way, that you can only find in European newspapers.
What does that mean, a wealthy fisherman?
Is that one of those dangerous professions like they have in Greece where you're allowed to retire at 50 because you might be at risk of catching Eurasian milfoil or zebra mussel from your infected rod?
But at any rate, she murdered her husband, quote, a wealthy fisherman, unquote, and hired a doppelganger to replace him.
So even if you do the Nancy Pelosi thing and you follow your dream and you become a great soprano, this is, by the way, this is, when it says soprano killed husband, hired doppelganger.
This is like the singing soprano, not the New Jersey kind of sopranos.
But it's very interesting to me that even when these Europeans are allowed to explore their artistic talents to the fullest, as Nancy Pelosi wants us to do here, all they do is murder their husbands and then hire a doppelganger to impersonate them.
Very interesting.
We've been talking about the runaway costs of Obamacare and the Obama project in general.
I mean, this is essentially an illusion that he's perpetuating, that you can introduce a new entitlement and it will save money.
The reality is that we live in a world now where Moody's says that the United States has moved substantially closer to losing its AAA credit rating because of the cost of servicing its debt.
The U.S. government is going to spend about 7% of its revenue servicing debt in 2010, that's this year, and that will rise to 11% in 2013.
Now, when it hits 14%, which it is predicted to do a couple of years on from that, then America would lose its AAA credit rating, according to Moody's.
This is what the American people get.
This is a very, very basic.
It's really nothing to do with whether you're in favor of this or you're in favor of that.
Every time Barack Obama stands up and talks about it, people know it's a croc.
This is the danger for the Democrats.
It's really nothing to do with itsy bitsy bits of policy on this page or that page, or even if you're philosophically well disposed to whatever it is they're planning to do.
The danger in what they're doing is that people now see it as a fraud, that it's unaffordable, and it will always be unaffordable, and that no society in human history has ever been able to make it affordable.
And You hear, I think, a lot of rather misplaced wishes on the right that assuming things go as they look in the polls this November and the Democrats lose the House and maybe lose the Senate as well, and in other words, you have a Republican Congress, that Barack Obama will do a Clinton and he'll triangulate and he'll work with the Republicans to get some so-called centrist legislation through,
like Clinton supposedly worked with the Republicans to get welfare reform through.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I don't think that's going to happen.
In fact, I think, if anything, if you look at the nature of the people around Barack Obama in the White House, this palace guard of Rah Emanuel and David Axelrod and all these guys, I think they're more likely to just form an ever tighter protective circle around him.
And I think Obama will move to the left and do far more things by executive order.
But the idea that he will be reaching out and positioning himself as a centrist Republican, centrist Democrat working with a Republican Congress, I think is off the table.
Don't think that's going to happen.
My friend Rich Lowry, my editor at National Review, wrote a column suggesting that this would be the making of Obama.
A Republican Congress would be elected and they would work on and it would enable Obama gracefully to turn into Bill Clinton.
I don't think that's who he is.
Because if that was who he is, he wouldn't have decided on January the 20th last year that he was going to ram health care through whatever the cost to the Democrats in numbers and whatever the cost to his own personal popularity.
He's committed to being a president of consequence.
And if you think of what that means from his point of view, that means doing something like health care, which is for all time, rather than reaching out to the likes of Susan Collins and Olympias Snow and governing as an Eisenhower Republican, which is what Bill Clinton used to describe his term of office as.
So I don't think that's going to be, I don't think that's on the cards, the idea that you'll elect a Republican Congress in November, and that will make Barack Obama move to the right.
I think if anything, he'll be more isolated by this, the naked Rah Emmanuel and these other strange creatures he has around him.
And I think he will retreat and become, in fact, even more explicitly left-wing president.
But, you know, it remains to be seen whether that's the case.
We'll talk about that in the hour ahead, 1-800-282-2882.
I'd also like to talk about this interesting revelations, ever more interesting revelations coming out about Eric Holder's Justice Department.
This is about the various figures in Obama's Justice Department who previously represented the detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
Andy McCarthy at National Review calls them the Gitmo Bar.
And it's true they are.
They're like a Gitmo Bar Association.
It is remarkable the number, the number of high-ranking figures in the Justice Department who did pro bono work for the detainees at Guantanamo.
And it is not to do with the very important legal principle that everybody who is accused of a crime should be entitled to legal representation.
It goes beyond that.
It goes to whether we are entitled to make judgments about them when they're appointed to political positions, essentially political positions, at a time of war.
So we'll discuss that in the hour ahead, too.
1-800-282-2882, Mark Stein in for Rush and rush back tomorrow.
Mark Stein at the Golden EIB microphone in Forush, the Golden EIB bacteria-free microphone in Forush.
The Israeli ambassador to the United States says Israel and the United States are in a, quote, crisis of historic proportions that has brought relations to a 35-year low.
Israel's Ambassador Washington was quoted on Monday as saying, it's funny about all these rebuilding of alliances that Barack Obama promised to do.
I notice in Indonesia, for example, They're getting ready to welcome him by Muslims are demonstrating against his visit by jumping up and down and shouting death to the great Satan.
It's just like old times again.
There was a statue of him that they've now had removed from a park.
They were hurling shoes at it, just as the Iraqi journalist did at President Bush a couple of years ago that the press made such a big meal of.
Headline from the Times of London.
Does Barack Obama give a damn about us?
This is about the declining British-U.S. relations following Hillary Clinton's casual remarks calling on the British to negotiate with Argentina over the Falkland Islands.
Don't hold your breath on that one.
And oh, and here's just like a casual.
These are now, this is just like drive-through alliance damaging that the administration is doing now.
In Chile, where they had an earthquake, Hillary Clinton got there.
She landed in Santiago and she happened to have 25 satellite phones with her, which she handed out to various Chileans.
And Chile didn't like this.
Quote, Chile wanted to be compared to Japan, not Haiti, unquote.
Chile is a member of the OECD, which is, you know, the rich countries club.
So it doesn't like Hillary Clinton landing and handing out satellite phones as if they're just like a basket case like Haiti.
In Chile, the earthquake actually had some infrastructure to destroy.
So they don't like the way they look like Hillary Clinton landing and thinking that she's in Haiti.
The British are furious over the Falkland Islands thing.
The Indonesians are hurling shoes.
And the Israelis say that relations between Israel and the U.S. are at a 35-year low.
Congratulations to President Obama on rebuilding America's alliances.
Let's go to Steve in Columbus, Ohio.
Steve, you're live on the Rushlinbusho.
Great to have you with us.
Hi, Mark.
I was thinking about Nancy Pelosi's comments that it'll allow a lot of artists to break out of the day-to-day doldrums of working.
Yeah, that's right.
It occurred to me that it's going to flood the market with potential wannabe artists.
So the current artists are going to see their revenue go down, and we could end up with more starving artists than we have now.
Yeah, well, I think clearly we're going to need to increase NEA funding for all the millions more artists that are going to be out there.
We're going to need even more NEA grants.
Yeah, it'll be 10 times harder for artists to rise above and be the cream of the crop that are displayed in galleries.
It'll be a lot of fun.
No, no, no, no, no.
I think we just need bigger galleries.
I think we could take abandoned GM car dealerships and convert them into galleries.
We could take, actually, most of downtown Detroit and take it and turn that into...
Who was the guy, the famous NEA guy, who got the grant, who got the NEA funding for the crucifix submerged in some of his own urine?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Andres Serrano.
That's great.
He got the big NEA.
Now with all these artists that Nancy Pelosi says will be free to pursue, so we could actually have, we could turn the whole of Detroit into a whole lake of urine and give it the world's biggest NEA grant.
So I think you're not looking at this in a macroeconomic sense, Steve.
Well, we try to raise the bridge, not lower the river.
And I think all their incomes are going to go down.
10 artists to the square block trying to hawk their paintings for a dollar.
Yeah, but you know who buys all this terrible art?
It's wealthy people like these guys in Hollywood.
So the more terrible art they're buying, the less cocaine they can snort, and so they'll cause less global warming.
And we'll have healthcare.
That's right.
All these starving artists, by the way.
So for example, if one of these guys putting the old crucifix in urine starts to develop a urinary tract infection and gets cystitis and his whole career dries up, he'll be able to be treated for that under Obamacare now.
So he'll soon be back and urinating to the full as healthily as ever.
And so there will, I think, Steve, you have to look at the big economic picture the way somebody who's got the grasp of the macroeconomic geopolitical scene like Nancy Pelosi has clearly looked at it.
I see no problem in all of us becoming government-funded artists with free health care.
I think that economic model is right for the United States.
And I'm glad that she's decided to stand up and argue for it.
Let's go to Danny in Cookville, Tennessee.
Danny, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hey, Mark, I've been watching a little bit of C-SPAN since my representative up here is Bart Gordon, and he's not even representing the Democrats.
So I have to try to figure out what's going on.
And it looks like to me that this healthcare thing, they keep talking about saving money.
They're going to do for health care the same thing that Detroit did for sprawl.
They're going to clear out.
What they're saying is that if you're a small office, you're not going to survive.
Only the big guys are going to survive.
And it looks like it's nothing but wage and price controls where the doctors take less money and you and I have less disposable income because we're paying more taxes.
And a third victim is local governments because once we begin spending more and more money on insurance, that means I've got less and less money to go to the Walmart and the state.
They're going to take in less sales tax.
That's right, Danny.
Essentially, they've decided to control costs by declaring that something costs less, by in effect not recognizing the true cost of it.
That's what they mean by capping Medicare.
They've essentially said we can make the math add up by not bothering with the basic arithmetic.
And you're right that it's like wage and price controls.
Mark Stein, Infra Rush on the EIB network, 1-800-282-2882.
Yeah, great to be with you.
Rush back tomorrow.
Did you see this?
I think it was in the LA Times yesterday, but it's all over the media today.
Clarence Thomas's wife is under fire for her ties to a Tea Party-linked group.
Now, obviously, Clarence Thomas' wife is married to Clarence Thomas, but she has her own life and she does her own thing.
And if she wants to get mixed up with a Tea Party group, that's her right as a citizen.
It's interesting to me the difference, for example.
People are outraged that this calls into question the entire integrity of the Supreme Court, the fact that one of its members' wives is openly involved with some political group.
But the fact that what are we up to now?
Eight or nine key members of the Justice Department, including the Attorney General Eric Holder, were doing significant amounts of work for the Gitmo detainees and appear to have gone to some considerable length to hide that both from the public and from the various confirmation hearings they went through to get their jobs in the Justice Department.
That apparently is irrelevant.
That's just the beauty of justice being blind, that one day you can be representing some Gitmo guy, and the next time you have some key national security position in the Justice Department deeply involved in the war on terror.
That's entirely irrelevant.
1-800-282-2882.
By the way, Prius, Prius speeds, we were up to, the record was 100.
Al Gore Jr., when he was pulled over a couple of years ago with his Prius existing condition, that was the fastest speed.
But we've had a Victor write to me who said that last summer he drove a Prius on a German autobahn at 115 miles per hour, no problem.
So, Victor, if you've any sense, you should now be suing Toyota for that runaway Prius of yours.
You could make far more money than this Sykes guy could.
Let's go to Jack in Orlando, Florida.
Jack, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, Mark, great to be on the show.
I'm a big fan of yours.
Well, I'm glad to have you with us, Jack.
I'm worried about the Tea Party movement.
Now, I'm a big opposer to this Obamacare that's coming out, but I'm worried that this Tea Party movement, because I'm in college and I keep hearing more and more about it, is going to pull away from Republican votes, where third parties and other movements in the past have pulled away from votes and people who haven't or shouldn't have been elected ended up getting into office.
No, that's true.
Obviously, that happens in small ways that are harder to quantify sometimes, where you have an effective Libertarian candidate siphoning votes off from a Republican candidate and the Democrat ends up being elected.
I don't think that's going to happen this time, though, because I think the Tea Party, for a start, has been dragging, has done quite well in dragging the Republican Party along with it.
In other words, that the Republicans, the congressional Republicans, basically sat back and waited to see how things played out last summer.
They distanced themselves from the Tea Party movement and all the rest of it.
And then what you saw in December is that every single Republican senator, all 40 of them, held firm against the Obamacare bill.
Even your nice ladies from Maine, your reach across the aisles types like Susan Collins, they didn't get one Republican vote to go for that bill.
And I think essentially that's because the Republicans in Washington were dragged by the populist anger in the rest of the country in a conservative direction.
I don't think that's going to change.
I think you'll risk third-party candidates if local Republican parties are stupid enough to nominate people like D.D. Skosafava up in that New York congressional district.
But they're not going to drive a real big third-party thing.
I don't think you need to worry too much about that, Jack.
Okay, thanks so much.
I overreassured you.
So yeah, I should be doing like the drive-through surgeries when the Obamacare is introduced.
Boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, we can.
I'll diagnose that in 0.8 of a second and you'll be out of here.
I didn't mean, I thought he was going to give me an argument there.
I mean, I think you can make the argument that if people start saying, oh, we need third-party candidates, that things could get very wobbly.
We don't need third-party candidates.
What we need, what we need is Republican candidates, Republican candidates who are not squishes and on the key issue of the spending are on the right side.
So that, for example, on this health care bill, I think they have to specifically pledge to roll it back when they can and to throttle it in the meantime.
And I think they also have to be made to take a hard line on beggaring our future too.
So, in other words, I don't think this is one of those things where you need to, where the Conservative base needs to be asked to swallow candidates that are repellent to it, because apart from anything else, they always stiff you down the line like Arlen Specter did.
I think all those candidates, I think all those guys should be hung around the Democrats' necks.
I think it's beautiful that Arlen Specter is a Democrat in November 2010, as far as we know.
I mean, he may not make it through, may not make it through the primary.
But I think it's beautiful that this shabby, grubby opportunist who jumped at the most stupid moment in history, has anything ever been more stupid than jumping to Obama and embracing Obama at the moment when the Sheen wore off Obama's halo?
I think it's beautiful that he is going to have a D after his name, even if he's on the ballot in Pennsylvania this November.
Conservatives have a right to demand something better.
And if this monstrosity passes, which I think will be, certainly I think you can make the case that in its implications, it's the worst federal legislation since the New Deal, then I think Conservatives have the right to demand aggressively that on this issue at least, Republicans were not interested in reach across the aisle type.
This isn't going to be a reach across the aisle election, so don't worry about that.
Let's go to RC, RC in Scottsdale, Arizona.
A place that's full of Canadians.
Last time I went there, you're one of those, are you?
It's full of everybody.
Is it?
Dittos to you, Mark, and dittos to Rush.
Oh, yeah, great, great.
Rush will be back tomorrow.
So he'll be here to take you through the end of the week.
But it's full of everybody, Scottsdale.
It's boomtown, isn't it?
It is.
The question I have for you, well, it's not a question.
I guess it is a question.
It seems to me like the one thing the left is good at is taking control of the terms of the conversation.
Right.
And one of the things I don't understand why it wasn't put immediately to Nancy Pelosi was when she said, if you don't have to pay for health care, you can leave your day job because you can then go be an artist or any other empty promise she has this week.
What I don't understand is when Freedom from Tax Day comes, I forgot when it is.
It's pushing into well into seven months now.
That's right.
What about reducing taxes to make it so that we don't have to have two jobs?
Yeah, but you see, she doesn't think about that.
Someone like Nancy Pelosi, I genuinely believe, is an economic illiterate, but there's a lot of people who are smarter than her in Canada and Europe who think the same way.
That somehow, if everybody pools the cost of everything, in other words, if you don't, if you're not responsible for your health care, but the government is, and you just give money to the government, the government will take care of health care and that will relieve you of the obligation.
The result of that is that you have less disposable income to pursue your dreams, in Nancy Pelosi terms.
That's certainly the case in France and Germany.
I mean, if we're talking about how people live, if you go over to Europe, you will notice that people drive smaller cars and live in smaller accommodation.
And I think Americans will get used to that too: that if this legislation passes and stays, then your children and grandchildren will live in smaller homes than you do.
That is simply the world they're building, their world they're building for us, where government decides about the big key expenditures of life, and as you say, takes more and more of your disposable income.
And so-called Tax Freedom Day, in real terms, gets pushed back.
Now it's in whatever it is, the sixth or seventh month, and it gets pushed back to the eighth or ninth month.
And at that time, basically, you're just the world's oldest teenager.
You'll have money to spend on your CD collection and beer, but that'll be it.
Do you know one of the things that I don't know?
It's hard for me to put into exact words, but when I'm trying to put this into the kind of terminology that this better be good now, because that's a pregnant pause.
Yeah, I know, and I'm sorry, and you don't want pregnant pauses on the radio.
I remember.
No, no, no, as long as you deliver at the end of it.
What's coming up?
What are we building up to here?
I remember in the 60s, there used to be a very, very, very famous t-shirt that said, fighting for peace is like you know what for chastity.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
That was a famous t-shirt.
I used to scream at the top of my lungs that we were never fighting for peace during the 60s.
We were fighting for freedom.
But when they take control of the conversation like that, then you have to justify fighting for peace.
Yeah, and actually, RC, the pregnant pause was worth it because that is an important point.
The left is extremely good at seizing hold of the conversation.
And that's really what's brought us to this pass: that the idea of healthcare reform, reform, for example, is a weasel word that could mean anything.
What matters is not healthcare reform, but what kind of reform.
And that's why the language that we use has to be important too.
So Nancy Pelosi's freedom, the freedom to live a government-regulated life where every aspect of your life is micro-regulated and your options are shriveled by the ever-tighter constraints of government microregulating every little aspect of life.
That is not what freedom means.
And we have to be bullish in standing up and returning control of the language to the dictionary definitions.
In this coming election, we should be the party of liberty, the party that stands for letting individuals live lives to their fullest potential by putting them in charge of the decisions of their life.
You can call a life regulated in every aspect by Nancy Pelosi a lot of things, but freedom isn't one of them.
Thanks a lot for your call, RC.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
More to come.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein for Rush on the EIB network.
Let's go to Janine in Hamilton, Montana.
Janine, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Hello, how are you?
I'm doing good.
How's things with you?
Beautiful.
Good.
I was just listening to the caller who was worried about the Tea Party's trying to break off and be a third party.
And it just irritates me to hear that term applied to this huge group of people.
The left and the media globbed on to Tea Party to identify a group that is not homogenous, not easily packaged, but really a very amorphous group of Democrats and libertarians and Republicans and people who are just scared and mad.
And to be packaged so neatly and then ridiculed is making us mad as individuals in a group, but we aren't a very neat group that's so organized.
No, that's true.
It's not a national leadership, and there's significant regional variations.
If you go to a tea party in the Pacific Northwest, there's a lot of differences between what the concerns are there from when you attend one in Florida.
I mean, there's lots of variations, there's lots of different emphases.
And you're not interested, and nor are most people who are going to the tea parties, in actually becoming a formal organization with a leaderhead running candidates here and there.
That's not going to happen.
Absolutely not.
What we're going to do is vote the bastards out, excuse me.
Okay, well, you've got your work out there.
And when you're picking which bastards to vote in, that's what matters too.
Janine, the way to look at this thing is it's not about running third-party candidates, but it is about looking at each candidate in each particular district and weighing up whether that candidate is the best you can do to roll back what are disastrous levels of spending and a bill that is an abomination in terms of what it does to individual liberties.
So, Janine, thank you very much for your call.
And I agree with you.
I don't think any third-party candidates are a threat.
You can bet your life that Barbara Boxer in California would love a third-party candidate to come along right now.
It ain't going to happen.
This is going to be one of those elections where it's Team A versus Team B.
And the Democrats are not looking at good electoral math for this.
1-800-282-2882, Mark Stein in for Rush.
The Rush Limbaugh Show, Mark Stein in for Rush.
From the Daily Mail of London, up to 20,000 people have died needlessly after being denied cancer drugs on the National Health Service.
It was revealed yesterday.
Apparently, NICE, NICE, by the way, this is how big government thinks.
NICE stands for the National Institute of Clinical Excellence, which is in effect the name of the British government death panel.
It's called NICE.
NICE promised to make it easier for drugs for rarer cancers to be approved.
But since then, four drugs, which could have benefited 16,000 people, have been turned down outright, and a further six, which could have helped 4,000 more, have been rejected too.
So NICE, the National Institute of Clinical Excellence, the government death panel, has said that these drugs could have perhaps saved your life or prolonged your life, but we're not going to approve them.
In the end, all government health care, the only way at which they can genuinely control costs is by restricting your access to the system.
When Barack Obama talks about controlling costs, what he means is denial, denying to acknowledge them, that he's going to reduce the rate of Medicare reimbursement.
That doesn't mean he's controlled costs.
It means he's just stiffed the doctors.
He's just stiffed the doctors.
And he thinks that that way will have no consequence on the number of doctors who want to take Medicare patients or want to work in the medical profession.
Lots more to come on this.
Rush will be back tomorrow.
This has been Mark Stein at courtesy of our friends at WNTK, New London, New Hampshire.
I'd like to thank Matt and Bob and everyone at the station.
If you're standing on the roundabout at the edge of town, stand well back because I'm going to be coming through at a Prius speed of 94 miles per hour.
