Time Text
How are you?
Great to have you here, folks.
It's Rush Limboy and the Excellence and Broadcasting Network meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Here's the phone number for when we go to the phones.
And I promise that we'll do that.
800-282-2882.
Email address Lrushbo at EIB net.com.
All right, here are the two telephone numbers for the Capitol switchboard.
Toll-free, 877-762-8762, which is now reporting a busy signal.
It was just ringing and not being answered.
Now it is reporting a busy signal again.
The other number is 202-224-3121.
They are really tied up.
People are having trouble making outgoing calls from inside the Capitol.
That was the case yesterday afternoon.
I'm told it is the case today, and I'm told there's quite a lot of frustration about this.
And you know, Snerdley made an interesting point to me mere moments ago.
She said, What's going on with the media here?
Normally, they would be attacking the hell out of you for doing the irresponsible show boating.
You're just an entertainer, you're gumming up the works, but they're not doing that.
They're not even saying that this is illegitimate.
They're reporting it down the line.
Factually correct.
One of the few times in history that something about me is being reported straight factual down the line.
And it is a curiosity.
Why?
I have no idea why.
This seems made to order.
You know, to beat me over to calls again.
Uh even in the Seattle Times.
The Seattle Times has a story just who exactly supports what they're doing in Washington other than the SEIU and Acorn.
The Seattle Times has thirdly lived out there.
There are two papers out there, the Seattle Times, it's that's a that's a it's a lift to left-wing bunch.
I mean, there's no question about it.
Just who in the country supports what they're doing except Acorn and the SEIU.
The Washington Post with a tour, this is absolutely the wrong way to go.
By the way, folks, phone numbers again.
Go to Rush Limbaugh.com and click on the code red link.
At the code red link, uh a bunch of a bunch of local numbers that you can call.
They're in play.
Local congressional offices of members who are saying that they're undecided, uh trending to yes or what have you.
It won't be a it won't be a long distance call, obviously, if you use your cell phone.
So there's any kind of you know, I b people say, why don't you give out the number to DNC?
Why don't you give out the number to the congressional budget?
No, no, folks, they're not necessarily do that.
Uh the DNC doesn't have anybody over there who's going to be voting on this, and the CBOs You just stick with these two numbers.
877-762-8762-202-224-3121.
And if you do get through, somebody's gonna get I mean, somebody has to get through here.
It is happening.
You gotta ask for a member.
You know, have a Democrat to ask for to be connected to.
Uh you won't be connected, and if you do get connected, you'll be shout at, cursed at, and hung up on.
Uh, but you still ask for somebody.
You don't tell the switchword operator vote no.
Switch word operator is there just to redirect your call.
Be very nice.
Thanks for answering.
I've been calling for 24 hours.
I'm glad you picked it up, blah, blah, blah.
And the code red uh numbers are still in play.
They're all local numbers.
Peter Beinart.
Oh, oh, I the details in this Gallup poll, I promise you this.
Americans' ratings of the job the president is doing in three key areas are much less positive than their expert uh expectations were for him shortly after he took orifice.
Americans give Obama the best review for protecting the environment and the worst for making America prosperous.
Do you think Barack Obama will do, is doing a good job or a poor job in handling each of the following issues as president.
In 2009, 79% liked what he was doing on the environment.
That's down to 52%.
Uh in 2009, 72% liked what he was doing with energy, 43% today.
In 2009, 61% liked what he was doing making America prosperous.
A year ago, we're right at the uh beginning of the stimulus package so forth.
Today, 38%.
38% think Barack Obama is doing a good job in making the nation prosperous.
Only 38%.
And that's that's obviously his uh his base and a few screwballs.
Well, there's no difference in the base and a screwballs.
Now, Peter Beinart, this is a very, very long piece that ran on the uh Daily Beast.com website, Tina Bloggs, or Tina Brown's uh blog and website.
It ran on uh March 15th.
It's very long.
I'm gonna exert it here for you, because it's it's it's it's worth reading.
It's interesting.
Beinart, you know, used to be where did he used to be?
New Republic or was he over?
New Republic?
You sure was new.
It wasn't.
I get it, I get him confused with Farid Zicaria.
Um Republic.
Yeah, and he's he's often a guest in the round table on Sunday shows.
Oh, it's a huge lib.
Oh, of course.
He's at the daily beast.
Thirdly, of course he's a huge lib.
That goes without saying.
I guess it doesn't go without saying.
So I just said it.
It's a huge lib.
Here's his piece.
Democrats forever changed.
By pressing ahead on health care, President Obama is ending a decades-long internal debate within his party, and the Democrat Party will never be the same.
This week's last ditch health care push may or may not prove the defining battle of Obama's presidency.
It may or may not prove a defining moment in the history of the American welfare state.
But here's a good bet.
The Democrat Party will never be the same.
For close to a decade now, Democrats have been arguing with each other about what kind of country this is and what kind of party they should be.
On one side stands a group of politicians, consultants, and wonks who believe that America is at its core a pretty conservative place.
These Democrats formed something of a political generation.
In their youth, they saw their party move left during Vietnam, get booted from power in 68.
Then they saw McGovern, the most left-wing major party nominate candidate of the 20th century lose 49 states.
Then they saw Jimmy Carter's presidency destroyed, then they saw Reagan, once considered a right-wing nut become the most popular president of their adult lives.
We're talking now about the Democrats who understand this is a conservative right country.
In the late 80s, they responded to these disasters by creating the Democrat Leadership Council, which pushed the party to the right on welfare, taxes, trade, crime, and defense.
I've always thought that was an illusion and a trick to make people think that's where they were going.
But let's give Beinart the benefit of the doubt here, because I'm sure he believes that the DLC was a genuine substantive movement to try to move the party to the right.
We know it didn't work, but and probably because it was not genuine.
They claimed vindication when a president of the DLC, Bill Clinton, became president.
They claimed double vindication when, after Clinton pushed for universal health care and got creamed in 94, he won re-election two years later by triangulating against the liberals in his own party.
For this generation of Democrats, which includes Alfram, Mark Penn, Joe Lieberman, William Gallston, Elaine Kmark, Dick Morris, Ed Koch, Jane Harmon, Evan Bye, and to some extent Bill and Hillary.
Being a liberal is like walking past a bear.
You move cautiously and reassuringly, and the bear will purr contentedly, but you make any sudden or threatening gestures, and you'll be mauled because fundamentally the bear distrusts liberals.
Galston and K-Mark wrote in their famed 1989 essay, The Politics of Evasion, a document that helped define the don't scare the bear wing of the party.
Democrats can pass liberal programs.
But these programs must be shaped and defended within an inhospitable ideological climate.
To pretend that the American people are liberal at heart is to evade political reality with devastating results.
So this bunch of Democrats Essentially knew that to pass liberal ideas, you couldn't say you were passing liberal ideas.
You had to position yourself as a centrist, a moderate, or what have you.
You couldn't say I'm liberal.
This is why they've always hated the word liberal.
We are the bear.
They go walking by us, and they show us we're a liberal, and we maul them.
That's why progressive is invented as a term or rotated with liberal, anything but liberal.
Liberal wakes up the bear.
The bear is us, the bear is the rest of the country.
By the late 90s, the don't scare the bear Democrats pretty much dominated Washington, but in the Bush years, a new faction of Democrats began to emerge.
These Democrats were mostly newer to politics.
They'd never seen a McGovern or Mondale mauled for being too far to the left.
What they had seen was the post-94 Clinton, who shied away from ambitious liberal reform.
They had seen the Iraq war with Democrat leadership council types largely supported, partly out of fear that opposing it would allow Republicans to paint them as soft on defense.
By 2003, this new new group of Democrats was angry as hell.
The Iraq war, which party elders had mostly backed, was proving a disaster.
And to make matters worse, Republicans were clobbering Democrats as weak anyway.
So these Democrats began fashioning a different theory.
Perhaps the problem wasn't that Democrats looked weak because they were too liberal.
Perhaps the problem was that Democrats looked weak because they didn't stand up for what they really believed.
And this new bunch of Democrats doesn't like the Clinton wing and the old DLC guys because they think they're frauds.
Cowards didn't have the guts to say who they really were, tried to paint a picture of themselves that was not accurate.
This new bunch, typified by the fringe kook leftists, the Kuciniches of the world, the Obamas.
Screw scaring the bear, screw centrism.
We are proud of being radical anti-American leftists, and this is who we're going to be, and this is who we're going to tell you we are.
And Binart says this is the battle going on within the Democrat Party, much like we think a similar battle's going on in the Republican Party, a conservative ascendancy to get rid of our phonies, the rhinos.
Anyway, I discontinue with the excerpts here.
In their version, these new Democrats, the Democrats didn't get mauled because they made sudden aggressive moves in front of the bear.
After all, the Clinton and Bush era Democrats hadn't been aggressive at all.
They had been mauled for precisely the opposite reason because they didn't fight back.
If Democrats defined themselves, if they stood up for their beliefs in the face of political threats, they would win in the end, is what these people think.
In Bush's second term, this faction grew stronger.
Congressional Democrats held firm against Bush's effort to partially privatize Social Security, forced him to back down.
The net roots were further buoyed by the 2006 midterms when Democrats ran against the Iraq War and won control of Congress.
They didn't run against the Iraq War.
It was Mark Foley.
That they ran against.
At any rate, perhaps the Democrats were building their superjumbo after all.
During the 08 primaries, each of the Democrat Party's factions had a candidate, the DLC types, mostly backed Hillary, who refused to repudiate her vote for the war.
She took a hawkish line on Iran and defended her husband's centrist record.
Many in the Superjumbo faction signed on with John Edwards, and by the way, many of those people, many of these people signed on with John Edwards are the people that think Sarah Palin is an idiot.
Now, now contrast that.
John Edwards was the answer to everything.
Never a more duped, taken advantage of in intelligence insulted group of people in the Edwards supporters, and they all think Sarah Palin's an idiot.
That is just a side observation.
So now the battle, Beinart says, is over.
When Scott Brown won his Senate seat, he made Obama choose.
On the one hand, he handed the White House an excuse to abandon comprehensive reform and return to incremental small bore approach a Clinton pursuit after 94.
The Brown victory, in fact, seemed to illustrate the don't scare the bear theory perfectly.
Obama had passed the stimulus, he'd bailed out the banks, he'd taken over part of the auto industry, and for the American people, it was too much liberal activism too fast.
Hence Scott Brown.
Superjumbo Democrats, by contrast, argued the public wasn't so much anti-reform as they were anti-the-legislative process that had produced the reform, health care.
But more fundamentally, they argued the American people would respect Democrats for not backing down in the face of adversity.
Why Obama, why exactly Obama, advised by Axel Rod, Emmanuel and Valerett, decided to double down on health care remains unclear, but it's a good bet that President Hillary would have acted differently.
And acting in the way he did, Obama has turned himself into a super jumbo Democrat.
For the foreseeable future, he has forfeited any chance of bridging the red blue divide.
Conversely, Obama has cemented his bond with the net roots.
It doesn't really matter the health care reform bill he's fighting for, isn't particularly left-wing, although it is, Peter.
For the net roots, a politician's ideological purity has always been less important than his willingness to resist pressure from the other side.
So Obama has embraced polarization over triangulation.
And that is a disaster.
For don't scare the bear Democrats, whether Obamacare passes or not.
The reason is that the DLC wing of the party is much more top-down than move on.
It has always wielded influence primarily through elected leaders rather than grassroots activists.
But today Obama's the only leader in the Democrat Party who really matters, and the retirement of Evan Bay illustrates there are few nationally prominent DLC aligned politicians left.
They've been swept away.
From top to bottom, Democrats have now decided to bet the party's future on the belief that Americans prefer bold liberals to cautious ones.
Now it's up to the bear.
Us.
That's Binart's analysis of what where the Democrats are.
That they've they f they've doubled down now, and they have bet their party's future on the belief that this country is ready for radical leftism, Marxism, and socialism.
We'll be back.
Well, well, well, uh, right at one o'clock, a new Gallup poll was uh released on Obama's approval disapproval.
And folks, he's um he's upside down here.
Right now, President Obama is forty-six percent approval, forty-seven percent disapproval.
This is his lowest yet in the Gallup poll.
He is now below where McCain was during the general election.
Now let's couple this news with a pull quote here from the Peter Beinert piece, from which I just excerted.
Obama has chosen Carl Rove's politics of base mobilization over Dick Morris's politics of crossover appeal, with consequences not merely for how he campaigns for Democrats in 2010, but for how he campaigns for himself in 2012.
In other words, let me translate here what Peter Beinart wrote.
Obama, contrary to what everybody voting for him thought, came to divide.
Obama's purpose is to divide the country.
His purpose was to never unify.
His purpose was to never reach across the aisle and bridge the political divide or gap.
He was never interested in that.
He does not want to compromise a shred with people who disagree with him.
He wants to steamroll them.
As we've always said, his tactic is to clear the playing field of any opposition.
It's not to make the playing field level.
So he succeeded.
He's divided the country, but he's on the downside.
Forty-six approved, 47% disapprove.
At the height of the health care debate, it is his lowest number.
He will benefit no Democrat, or very few Democrats, if he does go campaign for them in their re-election in November.
He's Toxic.
President Obama is a fraud.
He openly and successfully totally misled 53% of the American voting population.
He came to divide.
Base mobilization.
That's why he's doubled down on health care.
That's the whole plan.
Not, and look, this is just in addition to, of course, the substantive reasons of what he believes in.
He's openly said that the Constitution is an obstacle.
That the Bill of Rights is uh is bad because it doesn't say what the government can do for anybody or what the government can do to anybody.
All it says is what the government can't do.
And he doesn't like that.
Because government is his instrument.
They didn't like it.
So all of you who who who bought into this silly notion because you desperately wanted it to be true.
You know, the Rodney King, Peggy Noonan way of thinking, yeah, we all just get along and stop fighting.
Can we just not fight?
Obama was not interested in unity.
He was not interested in that at all.
He had never unified anybody in his orb in the past.
Was not his purpose.
He's an agitator.
Community organizer, acorn advisor, lawyer, he's an agitator.
Barack Obama came to divide, and he has succeeded.
Forty-six percent approval in Gallup, just announced, 47% disapproval at the height.
The health care bill, it's his lowest in this poll.
And we're back, it's Rush Limboy, and this is the EIB network.
800 282 2882.
So now that we know via the latest Gallup poll, now that we know that Obama's approval numbers are lower than McCain's during the general election, can we deem Obama to be unelected?
I mean, where does this deeming stuff, which is nothing other than pretending?
Where does it stop?
All right.
You know, it's St. Patrick's Day, and I traditionally never wear green on St. Patrick's Day because I don't join the crowd.
You know, that's why I got kicked off those PBS fundraiser auctions, because I'm not a conformist.
Uh is why I've been fired seven times.
Well, not all of seven times because I wasn't a conformist.
Sometimes they format changed to Chinese opera.
And they didn't need uh DJs for that.
So, but anyway, it's it's it's it's St. Patrick's Day out there, and Obama at the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon this afternoon in Washington said this.
I can trace my ancestry on my mother's side there.
I believe it was my great great great great great grandfather.
This is true.
He was a bootmaker, if I'm not mistaken.
Someone uh actually discovered my Irish lineage uh when I was running for president.
Now, this we're back to Clinton Easter type stuff things now.
He's Irish.
Barack Obama is Irish.
How's that gonna play with Al Sharpton, by the way?
You know, Al Sharpton has become Obama's number one advisor in outreach to the black community.
And and and Sharpton's job is to tell all the black people out there to shut up that Obama's trying to make it all work for him.
Now you stop.
You want to talk unity?
You want you you want to talk post partisan post-racial.
How the hell does that happen?
Al Sharpton, the number one advisor for reach out to the black community.
I would love to be there, my friends.
I would love to be there someday when somebody tells Obama that he has Jewish ancestors as well.
Oh, I would love to hear that.
Okay, to the phones we go.
What happened to the guy up there on line one?
He bailed on us.
I don't blame him.
He'd been on hole for 90 minutes.
Um he was he was a doctor, right?
He wanted to know if the Supreme Court could overturn this.
Yeah, there's folks.
I wish he'd taken a question, but I can I can summarize his question.
We had a doctor who wanted to know that this thing passes, that the Supreme Court could overturn it.
Um I'm just gonna say three words to that.
Campaign finance reform.
I'm hearing way too many people say, go ahead, let's let this thing pass in the Supreme Court say it's unconstitutional.
Why do you want to roll those dice?
We ought not even be thinking in terms of this passing and repealing it.
We'll do a cross that bridge when it comes to if this thing passes, and I guarantee you the word repeal is going to be the number one election campaign theme of the Republican Party going into the November elections.
Well, why even why even go there now?
Now, I heard that my buddy Mark Levin, landmark legal foundation, is going to file a lawsuit the moment they use the slaughter rule.
And I think all you you you wayward Democrats ought to know that there are going to be numerous legal challenges to this, led by landmark on the literal unconstitutionality of this.
And all it's going to take is for one court to decide to hear this, and everything gets stopped and put on hold.
The big question is getting a court to take it.
But there will be.
People are not going to sit around and take this.
People are not going to sit around, oh well, we fought the good fight, but we lost it in twiddle of thumbs and start complying with it.
This is something people are going to rally against, and people are not going to comply.
This is the United States of America.
It is not Venezuela, it's not Cuba, it's not North Korea.
We're not a banana republic, and we're not a third world country yet, and we are not going to sit here and comply with something that is unconstitutional.
So yeah, it'll be it's it's going to be challenged the moment they use the slaughter rule.
But counting on the Supreme Court to overturn it or to rule it unconstitutional, that's years and years and years down the road.
We ought not have to depend on the Supreme Court for something this brazen.
All right, who we go?
Sherry in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you on the program just outside Pittsburgh here.
Hello.
Yeah, hi, Rush.
Yeah, that's I'm right outside Pittsburgh, and I'm um in uh I'm near a district where one of the fence sitters uh for the health care bill, Jason Altmeyer.
Yeah, I saw him on television.
He's he sounds like he's pretty dead set against this thing.
Oh, I hope so.
I used to live in his district in the 80s, but um I live on uh others on the other side of Pittsburgh now.
But um just uh I just like to give them a little friendly reminder, all these fence sitters who consider who might be considering taking one for the team or sacrificing for Obama or whatever, that uh if they go ahead and pass this Obamacare and and um they get kicked out of office because they will be kicked out of office if they do it, they are no longer gonna be exempt from what they're foisting on us.
Um they're gonna have to live under this this Obamacare.
They're not gonna be exempted like they they're they're doing to themselves.
Which is the thing that really irks me the most about this whole thing is that they exempt themselves from what they're foisting on us.
Well, why do you think they're not going to exempt themselves from it if it passes?
They clearly have exempted themselves from it.
But I'm saying that if they get kicked out of office, they're gonna have to go back and live with it.
They're gonna be back with us real people, and they're gonna and they're gonna have to once they get kicked out of office, they're gonna have to live under what they're in other words, be careful what you wish for.
Well, I'm gonna double check that.
Uh they have one of the most generous pensions and going away packages, even if people lose.
Uh I don't know how long Altmeyer has been serving, but I but even for health care, I mean, even like if they're if they're not remote.
Come on.
Come on, these people are you.
These people have written rules that they can take with them $13 million or whatever is left in their campaign chest that hasn't been spent.
Well, they're right.
That's probably true.
Now you're really frustrating me.
Uh well, no, I don't mean to frustrate you.
I'm I don't mean to but you but you gotta know who we're dealing with here.
But I'll tell you something else.
I saw Altmeyer, I saw him on television yesterday afternoon, and he's dead set against a slaughter rule.
I don't know where he comes down on the Senate bill, but he is one of these fence sitters.
One thing you gotta I gotta tell you this about fence sitters.
When he's undecided, guys, uh, it's not universally true, but it's very likely in some of their cases that they are already in no vote, they just don't want to tell you because they don't want the wrath.
So they're saying, I'm gonna decide it, uh, Give me some space.
I'm still thinking about it.
Uh move on to somebody else.
Right.
A lot of them are using that as an excuse.
But I still don't think they've got the votes.
I know they don't have the votes.
If they had the votes, they'd be voting on it today.
Okay.
Well, thank you, Russ.
All right.
Appreciate that, Sherry.
Now, I I like this kind of thinking.
You know, okay, you guys, you give us this, you're subject to it when you leave Congress.
But I'm not an expert on it.
We're gonna this is something to look up.
This is something to find out.
research staff, me, is looking...
...
...
No, we got somebody looking into it even as we speak.
Somebody's looking into it even as we speak.
We'll find out what they get to take with them.
When they lose, if anything, you know, when their pension vests or their retirement or whatever, we know that it's groovy.
We know it's big.
We know it's very comfortable and very rewarding.
James in Atlanta.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rus.
It's an absolute pleasure.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, uh, yes, I was calling, I'm a retired teamster and veteran.
And uh I've tried to talk to people, you know, the union has some of the best insurance there is.
And they're all going to lose it.
Because right now, when you turn 65, you lose your insurance.
You go on Medicare.
They kick you right over to the governor dole.
And uh they're trying to up the age now, I know, from 57 to 62.
And if anybody wants to see how socialized medicine works, uh, all they have to do is go down to a BA and see who you get assigned to and what happens down there.
And the companies, if they get a chance to pay, you know, a penalty.
Well, now, you know, I'm I'm curious about something here.
You're talking about the Teamsters specifically.
Right.
I didn't think the Teamsters had anybody that worked beyond age 40.
Well no.
You've got to be uh uh well, it depends on your years of service.
Right now, 57 and 30 years in the trucking industry part.
Yeah.
Uh dependent on the case.
But you know, you lose your health care at age uh sixty-five?
Correct.
You lose your health care at age sixty-five, they'll s they'll uh be more than happy to say you're I've never heard that.
You do.
Once you hit sixty-five, you lose uh your insurance.
Now, how long have you been retired from the Teamsters at age sixty-five?
Well, I retired early because I had the years.
Because I started early.
Okay, but my point is very few Teamsters are still working at age sixty-five, right?
Uh no, there's quite a few still working because right now to keep your insurance, you have to be at least fifty-seven and have thirty years of service.
What?
Yeah, you have to be you have to have none of this is making any sense.
The unions have the biggest Cadillac insurance, health insurance deals in the country.
But they, you know, in each union, you've got to remember this is for the South, Central States.
Each area for the Teamsters in the trucking part now is what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
You have a northern division, a western division, they're all separate.
The pensions are even separate.
They're all they assume you guys are pro-life because you live in Georgia.
Uh could be, but most of us are.
But there's probably 40 to 50 percent of Teamsters that vote conservative, uh, especially down here in the South.
Oh, I know.
Look at my beef is not with a rank and file.
Uh it's you get communists running SEIU and uh Teamsters and so forth.
I mean no bones about it.
No, but anyway, uh I appreciate the call, James.
There's something else that we gotta research.
Because I hadn't heard I didn't know that.
You lose your health care at 65 and go on to Medicaid.
Be right back, my good buddies.
Sit tight.
Well, all right, the uh initial research report is in here on congressional pensions and health care after they retire, quit or are defeated.
And as usual, anything dealing with the government is quite confusing.
So I have two things here.
One one is from C-SPAN.
When are members of Congress considered vested and eligible to receive A pension, and how much is that pension?
Members who have participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five years of service.
A full pension is available to members 62 years of age with five years of service, fifty years or older with 20 years of service, or 25 years of service at any age.
A reduced pension is available depending on which of several different age and service options is uh is chosen.
The average annuity for retired members as of nineteen ninety-eight was uh either fifty thousand dollars or forty-six thousand dollars.
It depends on how they retired or were defeated.
However, these averages don't take into account any additional funds the members may have also accrued through investments in the thrift savings plan.
So essentially, members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans that are available to other federal employees, they become vested after five years of full service.
So they do not lose their health as long as if this guy Altmeyer's been in Congress five years and gets defeated, he's vested.
He gets his pension depending on the pension depending on what age he is when he gets out of there, and he gets his health benefits.
So does Rostinkowski.
They all do.
Don't folks look at my instincts.
There's no way that any ex-member Congress is not getting health care to this day, and won't.
My God, the way they take care of themselves in other ways, you think they would forget to uh bequeathe themselves health care after they leave office.
You know, folks, wouldn't it be nice if when you went to your doctor he told you to take care of yourself by taking vitamins and doing exercises?
And that if you did that, if you did that, your doctor would guarantee your health insurance in case of catastrophic health problems with no out-of-pocket expense for life.
Wouldn't it be great if you could do that?
Not gonna happen.
Not teasing you, but it isn't gonna happen.
But when it comes to your car, BG, BG does offer lifetime protection from catastrophic failure of your engine transmission, drive line, power steering, and brake systems for the life of your car, even if you sell it.
Do you understand what I'm saying here?

You have to go to a dealership or a service center that uses it.

Hanford, California, Donna, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you very much for taking my call, Mr. Limbach.
Yes, madam.
Uh I have I sincerely believe, after reading Audacity of Hope and Dreams from my father, that Barack Obama has developed this myth about himself, how great he is.
And to him, he really is the all all seeing, all knowing answer to everything.
And nothing he can do will ever or nothing anything happens within his administration will ever taint him in his mind.
It's exactly right.
That it you've nailed it.
You've it's narcissism squares.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
And one other point.
I saw your friend Carl Rove on Meet the Press on Sunday.
Mm-hmm.
It was a wonderful interview.
I thought Tom Brogall was going to come across the table at him.
He had him living.
It was a great interview.
Well, I didn't see it, but I know that see the problem is these guys in the media, they don't know anything but other than what they know, and they don't know anything other than their templates and storylines.
And you have somebody like Rove come in there and tell them the truth, it's like telling them the world's flat.
Or better, it's like telling them the earth is round when they think it's flat.
And they don't know what to do with it.
They don't uh that they they they're in stunned shock and amazement that anybody would think that way.
But they don't know how to come back at it.
You know, I was with Brokaw once on election night coverage in two thousand two.
You couldn't see it if you were watching.
But when I was explaining why the Republicans had a clean sweep, that was not a bunch of happiness on that set.
Hey, Snardley, did you hear that uh Pelosi has called a meeting today of all the female Democrat members of Congress?
Behind closed doors.
A lot of farting going on in that room, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't know what they're talking about in there, but um, you know, this is all the female members behind closed doors, female Democrat members.
