Time Text
Greetings to you thrill seekers, music lovers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
El Rushbo here behind the golden EIB microphone with broadcast excellence for the next two hours.
Here's the telephone number, and we will get to your calls.
800-282-2882.
Email address, LRushbow at EIBnet.com.
Well, something very interesting.
I've had two reports on this.
I have not had a chance to assign a staffer to actually do this.
But apparently, when you call the Senate toll-free number that I just gave out, that's 800-828-0498.
You get a recorded message urging you to support the health care bill and to call somebody, a member of Congress, to say that you support the bill.
Now, I have not heard that about the House number.
If this is actually true, and I've two or three emails from people on this, if it's true tonight, I'm not really surprised.
The Democrats run these places.
They can put on these phone switchboard messages, whatever they want, I assume.
But if that's, if you don't want to go, and the lines are busy, some people are getting through and some people aren't.
But what you can also do is Google Code Red.
Just put code red, just search for it.
You'll find a website link.
You go there.
It's a Republican site and it will list all the undecided representatives.
And I think their phone numbers are there.
You call their local offices.
You can call their Washington offices as well directly.
Now, those are not toll-free numbers, I don't believe.
The switchboard numbers are.
I've even got the SIU number, the SEIU number.
You know, Obama's got a number out there with the SEIU people, and not identified as such.
It's a toll-free number to call.
And when you call that, you get a big spiel about how great and wonderful the bill is.
And then it asks you to get hold of your congressman and let him or her know.
You press a number.
They give you a number for your congressman.
I'd avoid the SEIU ad because they're only going to direct you to Democrats.
Yeah, COCO is going to put the Code Red link right up on our website.
You're not going to have to Google it.
Just go to rushlimbaugh.com for the code red website and find these members and their names.
What a trick.
What a.
Okay, Brian just got through and it does say that.
You told the 0498 number.
What a bunch of tricksters misusing public telephone lines, which is nothing compared to the way they are genuinely shredding the Constitution in this.
It's lawless.
It is unconstitutional.
It's illegal.
It's just breathtaking to watch.
By the way, this morning, this is hilarious.
On MSNBC today, on a show hosted by F. Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie, they dragged out from the Wax Museum Marjorie Margolis-Mizvinsky.
Now, the name Marjorie Margolis-Mizvinsky might not mean anything to you.
If it doesn't, here's a brief bio.
Marjorie Margolis-Mizvinsky used to be a TV anchor in Philadelphia.
She then ran for Congress as a Democrat.
During the first Clinton budget, she was the lone holdout on the Democrat side to put the Democrats over the top and pass the Clinton budget.
They delayed the vote one hour beyond when it was scheduled to be stopped.
She was personally lobbied by the Clinton administration and Clinton himself.
She caved inside of an hour.
She switched her vote, voted yes on a budget, and it passed.
She then got creamed in her next election.
She was voted out of office in almost a landslide in Philadelphia.
A Democrat place, if there ever was one.
So they dragged Marjorie Margoli's Ms. Vinski back on the MSNBC today.
And you know what the point was for her being there?
She was actually saying she was there to have a message for Democrat members of the House who are really worried about their future if they vote no or vote yes on the health care bill.
She said, listen to me and my story.
I am living proof that there is life after Congress.
In fact, my life became more prosperous than ever when I left Congress.
So she's up there on mess NBC today with a message.
Hey, life's only going to get better.
Life doesn't end when you leave Congress.
Why, for me, it got a hell of a lot better.
I'm richer.
I'm happier.
My son's marrying Hillary Clinton's daughter, Mark, Margoli's Ms. Vinski.
That's true.
Hillary Clinton is engaged.
He's probably getting married sometime in July.
Nobody knows where or when, but specifically, but yeah.
I mean, that I don't know what that deal was back in 1993, 94, but her son is now marrying Chelsea Clinton.
But she's on television.
Oh, there's life after there's life after Congress.
In other words, go ahead, commit suicide.
There is an afterlife.
And in my case, it's even better than it was in Congress.
There's certainly more to life in Congress.
So that's, I'm telling you, if they're dragging her out to go on TV to say this to Democrats in the House, it's just further evidence they're not that close on the vote.
They just aren't.
They're nowhere near.
I've often said that Obama is not grounded in reality, that Obama tells himself lies about himself, about his circumstances, about a situation, that he's very, very odd in this way.
From the UK Telegraph, I have the story right here, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Obama has issued a threat.
Any Democrat who does not vote for his health care bill will not receive a campaign visit by Obama.
That's a threat.
He's actually a threat.
Obama has said that he will not campaign for any Democrat congressman who fails to support health care form.
He will make fundraising visits during the November elections to any district whose representative has backed the bill, but he will not help you if you vote against the bill.
Well, now the reality is this is music to their ears.
Obama coming in, especially in November if this thing passes, is as big a death knell as voting for it.
I mean, this is a double whammy.
They need to bring Marjorie Margoli's visit back and say, there is life after Congress, and there is life after the president doesn't come in to campaign for you.
Oh, can you say Virginia?
Can you say New Jersey?
Can you save Massachusetts?
Everywhere take any team Obama picks to win.
They lose.
That's how I knew that the U.S. hockey team had no prayer in the Olympics.
No prayer because Obama picked him.
Whoever he picks, I hate, whoever he picks to win it all in the final four, the March Madness, they're doomed.
He's worse than the jinx of being on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
He better not welcome Tiger Woods back.
Better not say, Tiger, we hope you pull it out.
Tiger, we hope that you win in Augusta.
Because, I mean, if he does that, they have to put all the pancake waitresses and poll dancers on red alert.
So Obama promises, threatening not to campaign for these guys, is music to their ears.
Most people don't want him there.
In fact, Obama went someplace, where was it, Pennsylvania last week or St. Louis?
He went to St. Louis and a whole lot of local Democrats didn't show up.
They didn't want to be there.
Why do you think that Evan Bayh quit the Senate?
It's not because of too much partisanship and all that.
It's because, ladies and gentlemen, if he wants to run for office, national office, president, whatever, he's got to distance himself from the Obama agenda and he's been voting for it down the line.
This guy is so unpopular that being anywhere near his agenda is a death knell.
So big threats, big threats from President Obama to members of his own party, proving once again this is all about him.
It ain't about health care.
It's about reducing premiums 3,000%.
Again, to give you the example of that again.
Because I had to run through this.
Obama in Cleveland yesterday said, well, let's grab the soundbite.
I think it's number two, right?
Number one.
Audio soundbite number one.
Here is President Obama.
And you're trying to imagine the reaction if George W. Bush or Dan Quayle said this.
How many people are getting insurance through their jobs right now?
Raise your hands.
All right.
Well, a lot of those folks, your employer, it's estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000%, which means they could give you a raise.
What a bunch of idiots in the audience.
Okay, here's the number, just a number to work with to illustrate.
If your employer is spending $4,000 on your premium, your health insurance premium, a 100% reduction would mean there would be no price to pay whatsoever.
If you reduce the premium by 100%, you wipe it out.
The $4,000.
If you reduce that $4,000 premium by 3,000%, that number is $120,000.
So what Obama was saying is that healthcare premiums will fall so much that insurance companies will be paying your employer $120,000 per employee.
It's moronic.
It's off the cuff, irrelevant, untrue, just stupid.
There's nothing intellectual about it.
There's nothing elite about it.
There's nothing special about it, except in its utter stupidity and recklessness.
A quick timeout.
Grab some phone calls and other things when we come back.
Okay, forget those two toll-free numbers they gave you.
They've been co-opted.
I now have the official Capitol Hill switchboard number, and we just tested it out.
An actual human being answers the phone.
That number is 877-762-8762.
And we said, is this the official Capitol Hill switchboard?
The person said yes.
Sounded legit, but the person's in Washington.
You never know who in that town's telling the truth.
The number is 877-762-8762.
An actual human being answers the phone.
All right, to the phones to Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
We start with John.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Rosh, it's an honor, sir.
Thank you.
USA Today, the 16th, front page.
Small story.
It seems insignificant.
The FCC wants more fast lanes to internet.
They basically hit you with a bunch of numbers, blah, blah, blah, $200 million.
It blows you by the time you get through it.
But when you read through and you see what the plan actually they want to do today, they're voting on Congress is to have a sweeping plan.
The federal regulators have unveiled an ambitious plan to bring high-speed internet service to millions of people.
You know, here's their promises, promises.
And they're going to say about a nationalized system.
Jump way to the bottom of the story.
The FCC, the White House, or Congress would have to implement the plan, some of which would be controversial or another way of saying unconstitutional.
So if you jump around in this story, Rush, it's a takeover of another industry by helping us.
And what industry is it?
The cable, communications.
The FCC, which is the government, want to take over another industry.
It's actually much more hideous than this.
This story that you're quoting is just talking about the spectrum, the frequency spectrum.
And they want more broadband spectrum for higher speed access for everybody that uses the Internet.
And in getting this, one of the areas they're looking at is asking over-the-air television stations to stop broadcasting over the air since it's all cable or satellite now.
And they want to take that spectrum and apply it to Internet.
Now, you can say that they want to take over the Internet, but they already have.
I mean, they regulate all broadcasting.
They don't regulate cable or satellite, but they regulate over-the-air broadcast, like radio.
You got to go through every five or ten years, whatever it is now, for license renewal.
You have to community ascertain.
You have to run out there and talk to librarians, a bunch of people, ask them what their big issues in the community are.
It's okay, document that, send it in with your license renewal.
They say you're paying attention to local issues, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
What's coming way beyond this, what's coming in the fall is the deceptively named net neutrality.
And you have to understand this.
The easiest way to understand this is to think of a fairness doctrine for the internet.
Now, how would this work?
Let's say that you want to go Google or Bing.
You want to search the mating habits of the Australian rabid bet.
Net neutrality would require that every search engine produce an equal number of results that satisfy every disagreement about the issue.
Yep.
And that's going to happen.
That pretty much is going to happen.
And the White House is in bed with Google.
The White House and Google are bedmates.
Google largest search engine already.
I mean, if you do a search of me and Google and you look at the crap that comes up, it's by design and on purpose.
It's literal crap.
I mean, the most obscure places you never knew existed.
With comments about what happened on this program.
And this is, we had to, we had to, I don't know, it took a long time.
We had to really work hard at getting our website to pop up in a search of Google, our own website.
So in the era of net neutrality, and this is where the Google White House partnership comes into play, the results of any search, like say you want to search abortion, or you want to search the health care bill.
They want to control what you see.
They want to control what your options are.
They can't really control the content.
It's too massive and it's too big.
What they want to try to do is limit your access to it and have that access flavored toward whatever particular point of view the administration wants supported.
Now, that is coming.
That's why they want all this new broadband.
That's why they want all this new speed.
That's why they want all this new access.
It's not to own it.
It's to control the content as best they can.
Just think of it as a fairness doctrine for the internet.
Not making this up.
Guarantee you, that's what's coming.
I mean, I think this is a fait accompli.
I think it practically has been voted on.
Done deal.
Alan in Tampico, Illinois.
Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush.
Whether or not they managed to pass health care, isn't the Brock presidency essentially over in that he's got the Democrats so far out on the plank that they essentially own him and they basically take the ball from him after this and say, we'll take it from here?
Well it's.
It's really hard to say that the presidency of anybody is essentially over until he resigns, like Nixon.
There's a lot of power up there.
There's a tremendous presidency by design, holds a lot of power, and you have to understand these leftists.
The real committed radicals are entirely willing to lose their positions in order to get this done.
I think I do think Obama's destroying the Democrat Party, but it's.
It's not correct to say he's destroying himself.
Yet he's already done that.
I mean Obama's.
When you consider what the expectations were and what the promise was and everything people thought Obama was going to be, I mean that's, that's history now.
He's a total joke.
But to say his party's going to be running him take a look at what's happening here and it's obviously the other way around.
Who's next?
This is Amanda in Ironton Ohio.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello hey, Rush.
How are you today?
Very well, thank you well I.
I was watching C-SPAN.
Yesterday our anointed one is was in Cleveland and I'm from Ohio and that was not a fainting spell that he had.
The guy was having there what he was doing.
This is exactly what happened.
He said, get that guy a medic.
He needs a medic.
I think that guy needs a medic.
And the C-SPAN cameras panned over and there's four to six cops dragging this guy out of there.
And so they pan back to Obama and I heard this lady shout out, how dare you?
And then he went on with his.
You know, same old, same old.
You mean a woman shot at Obama.
How dare you meaning how dare you lie about this?
I think it was how dare you stifle this man's freedom of speech because you have a right to not agree with Obama?
Oh oh.
So the guy didn't faint no, he was being drug off by four to six cops and him saying that he needed a medic.
That was a lie among many that day.
That basically telling the cops to drag that guy out of there, he was disrupting his live best I guess you know.
Nothing's genuine.
I mean, every story I read talked about this poor guy who fainted.
Now, we never heard what happened to him.
As a result of fainting, we were snookered again, maybe.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here.
Governor Chris Christie is delivering a speech right in New Jersey, and he's just taking it to him.
He is, here's the New York Times version of this.
Christopher Christie, the new governor, took office two months ago, vowing a sharp change of direction for a state battered by the recession and choked by its tax burden.
On Tuesday, he made clear what he had in mind was a U-turn, upending the priorities of his predecessor, Governor Christie, first Republican in 12 years, unveiled a budget that would hit the poor, elderly, schoolchildren, college students, and inner-city residents hardest while largely sparing the wealthy and businesses, which is a crock.
It is just part of the mainstream media template.
Here's a part portion of his speech.
Today, we are fulfilling the promise of a smaller government that lives within its means.
The defenders of the status quo have already begun to yell and scream.
They're going to try to demonize me.
They will seek to divide us rather than unite us.
But even though they know in their hearts, if not yet in their minds, it is time for a change.
Time has run out.
The bill has come due.
They simply are on an unsustainable direction in New Jersey, and they, unlike the federal government, cannot print money.
They have to do something about it.
This business of hurting the poor.
All that is, all that is, is an attempt to get people to oppose it.
What the New York Times doesn't understand is people are fed up with way too many of this nation's citizens being deprived of their full dignity and humanity by being made wards of the state and kept perpetually poor by the state, which happens to be Democrats.
The never-ending welfare state.
There's a story for the Scientific American today that the real obesity problem in this country is due to food stamps.
Because there's no limit on what you can buy.
You've only got a six pack of beer, gonna buy a case of Twinkies, you can do it.
It's not that fast food restaurants are in urban neighborhoods or any of that.
It's that food stamps are free food and they advertise for more and more applicants, more and more people to use them.
So the idea that the women and the poor and minorities are going to be hardest hit.
Folks, if you're not paying your own way and the taxpayers are paying your way and we are bankrupt and broke, the taxpayers can't keep paying your way.
It cannot be sustained that 10% of the population pulls the other 90%, which is in the cart, or whatever percentages you want to use.
Now, we conservatives believe that it is destructive of human lives to make them dependent on a meager, meager subsistence that they get from the state.
It's got to change.
It cannot be supported anymore, particularly at the state level.
We don't have the money for anything we're spending it on.
We don't have it.
Every time I see a bill, another $100 billion allocated, we don't have $100 billion.
We're going to have a deficit of $1.5 trillion to maybe $1.6 trillion this year alone.
We're going to be adding $10 trillion to the national debt just in Obama's four years.
We don't have any money.
The Federal Reserve made, you know, back during the TARP days, they loaned $2 trillion to people.
We don't know who got the money.
Don't know what it was for.
We don't know what the terms, but the Fed, you know, they can print money, but it's ours.
Even if they print it, the government doesn't have a dime unless they confiscate it from somebody first or print it, which, of course, is disastrous policy.
Here's Marjorie Margoli's Ms. Vinski.
And this is this morning with the Mess NBC and it was Savannah Guthrie along with F. Chuck Todd.
And Chuck said about 37 no votes.
The White House is trying to switch.
Some of these House Democrats, they voted no.
Now they're being tried to be convinced to a yes.
What advice do you, Marjorie Margoli's Ms. Vinski, have for them?
You didn't survive.
What about the politics of this?
What advice can you give them?
People don't call into your office if they like what you are doing.
They call into your office when they say don't go for it.
So don't listen to that.
You're a change agent.
Listen to the Paracleses of the world who say go down there to lead and not to be led.
Now, having said that, it's coming from me.
I wasn't a good politician.
I did a drive-by.
I think that we've got to stop telling people what they want to hear.
We've got to tell them what they need to hear.
We are socking our children and our grandchildren with a debt and a deficit that they cannot handle.
But once again, I didn't last very long.
Well, you've proven there is life after Congress, and we really appreciate getting your perspective.
Say, prove that there's life after Congress.
Go down with the ship.
Go down with it.
Tell everybody.
Whatever it's going to result in your defeat, there's life after Congress.
Who's next?
Where are we headed on the phones?
Somebody give me a nine.
Rogers, Arkansas, D.N., great to have you and welcome.
It is fantastic to visit with you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to share with your listeners how we saved $2,748 a year on our health insurance policies.
My husband is employed, and I was self-employed before we got married.
He went on to the employer's family plan, but to add myself and our son, it was going to be an additional $150 more than what my private insurance policy was.
So we saved over a year just by staying on my plan $1,800 a year.
Well, then we checked on my son's plan.
He could actually go on his own private plan.
We would save another $79 a month.
So we all three have our own plans, and we have saved $2,748 a year on our insurance plans.
And I think, you know, another thing, what we would buy across state lines, how much would we save?
Yeah, but you didn't tell us how you did it.
You just said you did.
How did you save all that money?
Well, see, if we would have gone on my husband's employer's plan, it would have cost us $150 more a month just to go on his employer's family plan.
Okay, so I stayed on our private insurance, saved that $150 a month by not going on our family plan, because you know a lot of people, they just go on with their husband's family plan.
Wait a minute.
I misunderstood.
When you said saved $2,000, I thought you reduced your annual payment by that much.
What you're saying is you didn't have to spend that much every year by making a decision.
That's true.
So you didn't reduce what you were paying.
$248 a month by putting our son, our six-year-old son, on his own plan.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now I understand it.
But, you know, if people are thrifty and they compare these things, you know, how many people are on their husband's or their wives' employer company plans that if they just chop around, they could save money on health insurance.
But yeah, the problem with shopping around is you have to first accept the notion that it's your responsibility to pay for it.
Exactly.
If you don't accept that, then you're not going to go shopping.
Right.
And I don't want the government to do it.
I want to do it myself.
That's my right.
Right.
All right.
Well, I appreciate that.
I appreciate the information.
That's because it's true.
You still have the opportunity to shop around out there.
But it's an attitudinal thing now.
People think that an employee benefit doesn't cost you anything.
And so why go shopping and pay for it out of your pocket when you're theoretically not paying it out of your pocket when you get it from the boss or from the company?
I got a great testimonial email here.
And thanks, Deanne, very much for the phone call.
Over the weekend, Rush, I was with two friends.
They had horrible colds.
They caught them after a trip to visit their Crumb Cruncher grandkids.
This is how a lot of people get sick from grade school aged kids.
And they were miserable, which I understand.
I've a cold.
If I get a cold, it's almost as bad as a flu.
I mean, I always think I've got the flu when I've got a cold, even if I don't have fever.
Then these people, obviously, the same way.
Well, yesterday afternoon, I suddenly realized that my throat hurt.
My eyes were itchy.
My nose was stuffed up, and I felt like I had a fever.
So I dashed to the medicine cabinet and I got my stash of Zycam and I used it and I went to bed.
And I woke up at three in the morning and did another dose and went back to sleep.
I did 10 hours of sleep.
Might have been helpful.
But this morning, my cold symptoms are totally gone.
Now, I'm still using Zycam as directed.
And I sure, however, I am not going to get a full-blown horrible cold.
That's exactly how it works.
If you use it at the onset, the first moment you realize you might be getting it, it can really slow down the onset, reduce the severity of the symptoms.
It just works.
The greatest advertisers in the world I have are the ones where their stuff works.
Zycam, Z-I-C-A-M works.
It's not a cure.
Don't misunderstand.
If you catch it early enough, it'll really make a huge dent in the thing.
Back with more in a moment.
And welcome back, Rush Limbo.
All right, we had a caller say she watched this on C-SPAN yesterday and the fainter didn't faint.
That the fainter was pulled out of there by four to six cops.
We've got a little sound bite here.
We're working on a couple of others too.
Looks like the caller was right.
Here is how it went down.
Anybody here, if you lost your job right now, and after the Cobra ran out, looks like we got somebody who might have fainted down there.
So we've got a medic.
No, no, no, hold on.
I'm talking about there's somebody who might have fainted right down here.
So if we can get a medic, just back here, they're probably okay.
Just give her or him some space.
Now, we think what is unintelligible there, the first time you hear somebody yelling, it looks like, by the way, I'd like to ask, did anybody in this place yesterday have a job?
Did you lose your job right now?
Did anybody, any of these 200 people, have a frigging job?
Anyway, anybody here, if you lost your job right now, audience member faints, we think at that point, somebody yelled, how dare you?
Or maybe it was later in the clip.
So if we got to get a medic, audience member yells something unintelligible, but we think it's the second instance where somebody yells, how dare you, because nobody fainted.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Hold on.
I'm talking about somebody that might have fainted right down there.
Can we get a medic?
Here, listen to it again.
You're not going to be able to understand.
It's unintelligible.
But I think I've got a clip located where we can understand it.
I'm not sure.
I'm making no promises here.
I got stuff flooding in at me like you can't believe here.
And I'm the one guy trying to organize it for everybody else to get it done while hosting the program.
So here's the first of what I hope is going to be two or three of these that have a little bit more clarity to it.
Anybody here, if you lost your job right now, and after the Cobra ran out, looks like we got somebody who might have fainted down there.
So we've got a medic.
No, no, no, hold on.
I'm talking about there's somebody who might have fainted right down here.
So if we can get a medic, just back here, they're probably okay.
Just give her or him some space.
Now, while all this is happening, four or six cops are dragging this clown out.
And we think that somebody said, how dare you?
We're on the case.
We're looking for other bites.
Now, we had a caller recently asking about Obama's low numbers.
And will that mean that he's lost all influence and power over the Democrat Party and so on?
No, no, no.
The way to look at this, have you wondered why?
To understand Obama, it's a conflict because we know he's a narcissist.
But a narcissist really doesn't care what you think about him because he loves himself so much.
The fact that you don't just means that you're screwed up.
He's a narcissist first, and he loves himself.
And if you don't get that, tough toenails.
Bill Clinton was not a narcissist.
Clinton was a sociopath.
If you didn't like him, it was his intention to make you like him.
100 people in a room, he could find the one in there that didn't like him.
He'd zero in on them and try to persuade them into loving him.
Obama doesn't care.
He loves himself too much.
So he doesn't care what people think.
Obviously, he doesn't.
If he cared what people thought, he wouldn't be doing this.
He's simply pragmatic and practical.
So he knows, even if, even if he doesn't get the bill passed, he's toast.
He's toast.
Whichever way this goes, his popularity is going to continue to plummet.
So have you noticed, all of a sudden, out of the blue, we're talking amnesty now.
Why?
Replacement voters.
25 million, 12 million, whatever it is, new voters, just in time for 2012, who will owe their citizenship to him to replace the voters that he's losing in this process.
He doesn't care.
People do not understand.
And it's very difficult to get your arms around a personality that you don't associate being president of the United States.
We think of presidents as decent and good and patriotic.
Americans love us and love the country.
We don't have any of that.
We got a third world president.
We've got a guy who is willing to destroy his country in order to still love himself when he looks at himself in the mirror.
Third world, people like Kim Jong-il do that.
People like Kim Il-sung did that.
Castro, Chavez, you name it, destroy their country to make themselves look good or to save face.
That's what we have going on here with healthcare.
So we're past the point of return here where he can turn everybody around and make him loved again.
I mean, the Obama of the campaign will never be again.
That Obama will never be.
But he's still going to need to get re-elected if he wants to.
How does he do it?
He's got to find replacement voters.
Bamo, here comes amnesty being discussed right on the heels of this.
Make no mistake.
However, this turns out, there's no let up.
None whatsoever.
George in Philadelphia, I have about a minute and a half here, but I wanted to get to you.
Hello, sir.
Afternoon, Rush.
The real issue with the net neutrality is that Google is looking for the bandwidth, not so much for searches for information, but what they want to do is go into the voice over IP telephone business.
That's why they need the bandwidth.
And without net neutrality, there would be preference given to packets being sent by Comcast or by the ATT networks or something like that.
So they have to flatten that out in order to make their VoIP phones work properly.
Yeah, that's true.
The VoIP phone, the voiceover IP, like Vonnage.
So Google wants to do that with their.
There's also a cost component to net neutrality, too.
And it's kind of complicated to explain, but if a website wants to start charging for its content, it's all got to be equal.
And they have to make content to other websites available as well.
It's so convoluted.
It's all rooted in this corrupted notion of fairness that liberal Democrats have.
But the VOIP stuff is probably relevant too.
One thing you can probably rest assured of it: Google and this administration, they're very, very tight.
Very tight.
Back in just a moment.
Don't go away.
So Pelosi's out there saying, and she actually said that nobody wants to vote for the Senate bill in the House.
Nobody wants to vote for it.
This is why they're talking about the slaughter solution.
What nobody's talking about, well, what do they think in the Senate about what the House is going to do to their bill in the slaughter solution?
I mean, they're going to sit there and take this.
Nobody's asked.
Senator Reed, what do you think about X in the House bill?
Senator Harkin.
Nobody's asking these senators.
Maybe someday somebody will.
