Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I just see here on the Drudge homepage that uh there's a little I haven't had a chance to click the link that Pelosi prays to St. Joseph to pass the bill.
Pelosi is praying for the bill to be passed.
What the hell happened a separation of church and state?
What are people in San Francisco going to think when they hear Pelosi's out there praying to anybody, St. Joseph or anybody else?
A woman who is pro-choice wants every abortion possible, is out there praying to St. Joseph that the bill passes live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
We are great and glad to have you with us.
Our telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address.
Del Rushmow at EIVNet.com.
Open line Friday is where you can talk about anything you want when we go to the phones.
That's not the case on Monday through Thursday.
Now there's there's Fox.
Again reporting that the Democrats are two votes short.
I don't know how they're coming up with that.
Uh but that's uh that's that's just not right.
I mean, there are 40 undecided Democrats, unless they know at Fox, what these 40 are going to do.
But NBC doesn't know what they're gonna do.
NBC has no clue what the 40 are gonna do.
They're saying that the Democrats don't have the votes, and get this.
Fox just published this on the website.
Um the House is gonna vote to approve the health care bill on Sunday, right?
Senate will promptly polish off a fix it bill, and this uh whole political nightmare will end, right?
Not so fast.
But I have to stop here again.
Um this opening sentence gets it all wrong.
So the House will vote to approve the health care bill on Sunday, the Senate will promptly polish off a fix-it bill, and this will that's not what's going to happen.
Pardon my frustration here, folks.
This is so crucially important, and it's it's really unfortunate so many people are getting what's going on wrong.
There is this this fix it bill, the reconciliation bill, the amendment package, all of this.
It's not going to the Senate to get fixed next week.
It's not going to be part of what Obama signs into law if they sign anything.
The Senate bill will be broken out once this thing's passed.
It will have be deemed to have passed, it'll go to the Senate for certification as I get blue in the face repeating this.
And if Obama signs anything Sunday or whenever, it will be the Senate bill.
It's not gonna be any of these fixes.
But a lot of people in the media are out there saying, well, even if this thing goes on Sunday, it doesn't mean anything because, well, the real action is gonna shift to the Senate.
It's not gonna shift to the Senate.
You telling me that Obama is gonna wait when he's got a Senate bill is deemed to have passed both houses.
That he's gonna wait.
Oh no, he's gonna sign it, throw his party.
And will everybody else start dealing with these fixes later on?
Anyway, I just I just wanted to correct this because the Senate is not going to do a quick fix-it bill and agree with what the House is doing.
The Republicans and the Senate are making a point of that yesterday and today.
It's not gonna be the case.
Anyway, that's not the focus of the story.
I just had to correct it.
Michigan Representative Bart Stupak, a strident anti-abortion Democrats floating a plan to introduce an entirely separate bill in addition to the main Senate bill and the House's package of changes to tighten restrictions on abortion funding.
This would create a whole new set of votes that would have to be cast before Congress can finish its work.
On top of that, Republican senators are warning that they will drag out the process of approving the sidecar package of changes that the Democrats want to see passed in exchange for their vote on the main Senate bill.
Republican senators plan to tinker with that bill so that after they're done with it, the House has to take it up again.
If they succeed, it means the health care issue will not go away Sunday or even next week.
And Democrats who are looking to get beyond the debate, particularly those in moderate or conservative conservative Districts will be dogged by the issue as they enter the high season of campaigning.
There's way too much uncertainty, says House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, a Republican from Virginia.
Ideally for Democrats, the House will approve the original Senate bill, approve the reconciliation bill, and then send that to the Senate, where it'll be adopted intact and sent to President Obama's desk.
The reconciliation bill is the package of changes to the Senate passed bill that was unveiled Thursday.
Under the reconciliation rules, Democrats will be able to pass that bill with just 51 votes in the Senate, not 60.
But there are several problems with that plan, Fox says here.
First, Stupak's move to draft a new bill is a considerable complication.
It says the moderate Democrat is spearheaded a measure on the original House bill to create a virtual wall between taxpayer dollars and abortion coverage, the Senate bill is seen to be weaker on that front.
Stupak and his allies have pledged to oppose it, unless they see changes.
Now, if he can pass a bill of corrections to the abortion language out of the House, that would have to pass the Senate and then be signed into law by the president before the Senate can take up the package of changes.
And then there are problems with the reconciliation bill itself.
People who are relying on the reconciliation bill in the House may well be being sold a bill of goods, said Judd Greg New Hampshire, and they are.
If the bill is changed at all in the Senate, the House has to take another stab at it.
And if the House changes it, then the Senate has to take it up again and so on.
Forgive me.
If you if you were in this room with me, you would see that I'm about to explode.
Those of you watching on the ditto cam may be able to see that I'm about to explode.
This is why I came in here today and I got all confused about something I thought I understood.
And I made the mistake of doubting myself when I shouldn't have.
I'm going to explain this one more time and I'm going to drop it.
And I'm going to get to your phone calls and our other sound bites that we have here.
It is apparent to me that people think what's going on here is that this reconciliation package that the House really wants to vote on on Sunday, all of these changes to the Senate bill that they don't like.
Once that that's voted on, people think that's going to be zoomed over to the Senate.
And the Senate is just going to adopt it intact and then send it to the President, and then we have the Senate bill plus the House changes as health care?
No.
My friends, that's not what's going to happen.
And the Republicans are as much as saying so.
Tom Coburn yesterday in a press conference, others today.
One more time.
One more time.
Forgive me if I'm boring you with this.
But I got to say this to counter some of the incorrect stuff that's being reported.
If this vote happens on Sunday, and if the House Democrats win, all that will have happened is that the reconciliation package will have passed the House, but so will the Senate bill have been deemed to have passed the House.
At that point, the Senate and the House have both passed the Senate bill by virtue of the unconstitutional means they're using here, this deem and pass, the slaughter solution.
Technically, the House will have not passed the Senate bill.
But Pelosi, after this vote, whenever it is, and if she wins it, is going to separate the Senate bill out and separate it.
There will be two separate bills, the fixed bill and the Senate bill, and she will certify the Senate bill as though it has passed the House, even though it hasn't legally.
It will be sent over to the Senate, where whoever's in charge at the time there, Biden or Joe or Robert Byrd, whatever, will certify it and goes to Obama.
And voila, we have national health care in the form of the Senate bill.
None of the House changes will have been part of it.
That's separate.
And the Senate takes those up on its own schedule and on its own time.
Now, House Democrats apparently are being told that Harry Reid and the boys have a deal with Pelosi, that they're going to send the reconciliation package over there, they're going to act on it, they're going to rubber stamp it.
Republicans can't stop it because all they need is 51 votes in the Senate Democrat side to pass this stuff, and then it gets back to the Senate, goes and Obama signs that too.
Well, the Republicans are going to have something to say about that.
There are parliamentarian procedures, parliamentary procedures they can take to delay this whole process, and if it gets changed at all, then it has to go back to the House for their agreement.
Whether they deem to agree with it or it's I guarantee you, this is why this vote Sunday is crucial.
It has to be defeated.
It has to be stopped.
We have to make sure they don't have the votes so the vote doesn't take place, or may let them take the vote and lose it would be even the best thing to happen.
But all that's being voted on Sunday is the Senate bill.
In the end, even though technically they're voting on reconciliation.
The only thing that's going to end up here if they win that vote Sunday is that we get national health care Sunday night in the form of the Senate bill.
And then these House Democrats have to sit around and hope and pray that all these promises Obama gave them and Pelosi gave them actually happen, and that's going to be up to the Senate where there's not a whole lot of trust between Democrats.
Back with more after this.
Stay with us.
Okay, here's a latest from Paul Ryan, ladies and gentlemen via Robert Costa at National Review Online, the corner.
Ryan says it is a coin toss.
We were just on the floor going through the whip check.
The Democrats still aren't there yet.
It's narrowed down from what we can tell to four or five now.
Obviously, the numbers favor the Democrats if you compare the pool of undecided votes to how many they need to come over.
Right now, Ryan says the Democrats need only about 50% of the remaining undecided to break their way.
On the Republican side, we need seven votes to defeat this.
Seven of the undecideds.
And I don't know what that number is now.
It's 20 or 30, I'm not sure which.
We need seven of the undecided votes to defeat this.
So...
Paul Ryan Further says that at this point we're really only talking about a handful of votes.
It's a close situation.
It is very, very fluid.
They don't want to win by just one vote, with everyone cast as the tiebreaking vote.
They want to win by two or three votes, which will be hard to do, as will muscling votes in these final hours since everybody is watching what they're doing.
Now that's a good point.
When he says they don't want to win by just one vote because then everybody could be cast as the tiebreaking vote.
Every Democrat could be cast.
You're the guy who gave us this bad bill.
You're the Democrat and none of them want that.
So they want to win by two or three.
And which Ryan says is going to be they'll take it.
They'll take don't misunderstand.
They'll take a one vote win.
Don't misunderstand.
But they want to get more than that.
Whether it'll prevent them from uh from calling a vote on Sunday is another thing.
All right.
Uh back to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
And we go to White Lake, Michigan for Henry.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Rod.
Thank you, sir.
One point that's been missed.
If you're a welfare recipient, or if you're drawing unemployment compensation, please call your congressman and let them know that they're threatening your benefits if they vote for this bill.
How so?
The federal government is already saying that they can't maintain their commitments for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
If they pass this health care bill, welfare, food stamps, military retirement, federal retirement, all of those are on the list.
As soon as someone says there are Medicare cuts in this bill, all you have to do is look down the line and see that if they can't afford Medicare, they can't afford the rest of these either.
I guess what I guess the fairly.
Wait a minute.
Nobody affords Medicare.
I'm not I'm sorry to be losing my patience.
You qualify or you don't qualify.
Yes, but the funding for Medicare comes from the federal government.
Yeah.
This bill could bankrupt the federal government.
Yeah.
Oh well, the federal government's already bankrupt.
This is that's actually a good point.
This is all academic at this point.
We don't have any of this money.
And there is no deficit reduction With any of this.
And everybody, a lot of people are going to lose coverage by design.
Insurance premiums are going to go up.
Nothing that they're saying is true.
Look at their memos out today from Stenny Hoyer.
To the members, do not discuss the details of CBO.
If you get dragged into a discussion of details, the lie will be exposed.
There is no deficit reduction.
So you just keep saying there is.
I've seen the memo.
It's been leaked.
Politico's got another memo from the Democrats.
Don't talk about it.
We're going to do the doc fix later in a separate piece of legislation.
What's the doc fix?
The doc fix is going to repeal reimbursement cuts to doctors.
It's going to cost $321 billion to permanently repeal this.
So all this talk of $500 billion in Medicare cuts, which is just a budget gimmick anyway, is wiped out 60-70% by the by the doc fix.
The doc fix in a separate piece of legislation seals the fact that there is no deficit reduction in this.
But the point is that everything being said about this is a lie.
Particularly the structural things.
The cost, insurance premiums going down, deficit going down.
It's all.
None of it is true.
I mean, it's not even close to being true.
Here's Susan in Concord, California.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, I'm just wondering, I feel like uh as time goes on, we keep giving the Democrats an excuse by saying that a lot of what they're doing is about their ideologies.
I believe it's more about the union, about SEIU wanting to take over the industry.
I I firmly believe that Obama is maybe a front man for the union.
He doesn't seem to really have much interest in running the country.
And I think that they're just getting their way in there.
They're gonna take over as much industry as they can, and which which will guarantee the Democrats back into party again.
As long as the union members continue to vote the way they tell them to.
Well, that's it, but that makes it about ideology because the unions are as far left as anybody else in the country is.
The unions are as radical as the government unions.
Well, yeah, even John Sweeney, the AFL CIO's CIO guys are as radical left as Saulinsky.
I mean, they regularly have their op-eds published in in the Communist Party of America's publication, Daily Worker, whatever the hell it's called now, as clearly ideologically driven, and it's clearly uh driven to expand government.
And the unions are out saying this is our payback.
I mean, what this is what we want.
We got Obama elected.
I've heard a lot of people also speculate, what you have speculated here, that there's somebody really running a show here besides Obama, that he's the frontman, uh that his uh his lack of interest in things, lack of interest-specific details, lack of caring about whether he's telling you the truth or not means he's doing somebody else's bidding.
Frankly, if it's true, I don't really care.
It's who if it's either Obama somebody, but he's executing the orders.
We're dealing with the most radical leftists who have ever achieved power in this country, and it's right in front of our noses, right in front of our eyes, what they want to do with it.
And it is to transform by overthrowing this country is founded.
It's right there for everybody to see, and they are seeing it.
There's an interesting Fox poll today.
Here it is.
Americans feel disenfranchised by Obama Obama care push.
The latest Fox News poll reflects the degree of anger and disenfranchisement Americans feel about their federal government, spurred on by the Obama care poll that very few want.
Uh presidential approval has fallen to an all-time low, forty-six percent approved, 48 disapprove.
It's pretty close to what Gallup is.
Do you feel your views are represented by the federal government right now or not?
35% of Democrats, 19% of independents, 17 or 7% of Republicans think so.
In other words, a vast majority of the American people do not think they're being represented by the federal government, and they're right.
The federal government is governing against everyone's will.
The American people are angry, they are fit to be tied, and they're not gonna comply with this.
Whatever and whenever it happens.
Here's Joe in in Rock Falls, Illinois.
Great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hello, sir.
Yes, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yeah.
Uh we're forever in debt to you.
Uh we wouldn't even be in this fight at this stage, I don't think it would for you.
Thank you very much.
And I want to thank you.
Uh it seems like the Democrat and their media friends, uh always successful at framing a debate.
Um right now with this, they're pitying the people that need health care against uh insurance agency.
In fact, it's actually the government has the biggest role for health care costs being so high.
Uh and that's through Medicare and Medicaid.
I work at a hospital and at the hospital, we only receive pennies on a dollar for Medicaid.
Sometimes that takes years to recoup.
Medicare does a little better, but still falls short, and uh Right, and they and they and they want to expand it.
The point, the point he's making, and he's dead right about this.
The biggest insurance company in the in the world is the U.S. federal government.
VA, S Chip, Medicare, Medicaid.
They have more customers than any private insurance company in the country.
They deny more claims than any private insurance company by percentage than any private insurance company in the country does.
They have lousy care.
They don't pay well.
They don't pay the doctors, they don't reimburse.
Obama is the president and CEO of the biggest insurance company in the country, and it is broken and it is bankrupt.
And there is no literal intelligent reason why this man should be entrusted with the power to run anything.
He is a neophyte, he is clueless, and he is dangerous.
Ha, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
It's open line Friday, and it is days like today.
And I am proud as I can be to be a member of the Heritage Foundation all week long, in the hours that we are not on the air.
They have kept all of us members informed on what's happening with uh with health care reform.
They've made sense of the slaughter rule.
Uh it helped a lot of people to understand precisely what's going on.
One of the people I look to and turn to today to make sure I was right about all this confusion about the fix bill, the reconciliation bill.
Now I don't even have to ask my friends at Heritage if they're going to be working all weekend following all of this.
I know that they will be there, and they're gonna be posting, and they'll be updating regularly.
Askheritage.org.
This cost 25 bucks to become a member, and you can be able to keep up as well.
When you become a member now, you're gonna get five pocket-sized copies of the Constitution, by the way.
Keep one for yourself and and give away to some liberal members of your neighborhood, your office, who may not know what the Constitution is.
Now, this dock fix.
If though if you are still calling the Capitol Hill switchboard, or if you, for example, you in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh, if you're calling Jason Altmeyer, if you're calling any of these undecided who are being very public about their undecided status, you tell them about the dock fix.
These people, a lot of these, a lot of these moderate blue dog types, these undecided, they can be swayed if they can be shown that this whole thing busts the budget.
See, they're they're being lied to as well as all the rest of us are, and they believe it.
They believe well, that may be a stretch.
I don't know that they believe that this is uh actually gonna bring down costs and bring down the deficit.
But the doc fix, the doc fix squares it either way because this is a secret memo it's been discovered.
The doc fix will add 321 billion dollars to the 940 that the CBO says they've got.
The doc fix makes this thing well over 1.2 trillion dollars in a separate bill that comes later.
There's no deficit reduction whatsoever.
You, if you're still pounding the phones, get through to them and say, the doc fix, we've heard about it, separate legislation coming in the spring.
It makes the whole cost one point two trillion.
If you vote for this, you're sunk.
You vote for this on the basis that you believe there's deficit reduction going on, you are being fooled, lied to, or what have you.
But this is gonna shake up some of these moderate democrats when they hear this, because they dock fix has been taken out specifically to get this thing under a trillion dollars.
But it's going to go back in, get a piece of legislation after this thing passes.
Here's Nancy in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi, Rush.
Um, I'm really spitting nails.
You've got uh uh I rate Italian on your hands here.
Every time I hear that Obama is at forty-six percent, I wanna know why half of the people in the United States are this stupid.
Of course, my husband, the engineer, keeps telling me that, you know, they picked the intelligence level at eighty, so half of the people are below that.
But I am sick and tired of listening to these actors and actresses and the main street quote media pushing this garbage agenda, this progressive nonsense.
Unless people listen to Fox or ABC radio, they're fed the same crap, and most of them do not have either the intelligence or the will to listen to the other side.
What can we do?
This is so frustrating.
I'm tired of Tom Hanks.
I'm tired of all these a-holes, excuse me.
This frustration level just bills and bills.
My husband has worked for Hidd since he's 15 years old, we're almost ready to retire.
Our money is gone from our 401k.
He went to college 12 years now.
We grew up in Newark.
No one gave us a penny, and I have to listen to this idiot talking about sharing the wealth.
I just cannot stand it anymore.
I have had it, and it is so frustrating.
I argue with people in the post office in the grocery store.
My husband's afraid he's gonna have to bail me out someday.
What can we do?
We have called, we have emailed, we have written letters.
They're not listening to us.
They are trying to ruin this country.
My father came here in Ellis Island and built a business when he couldn't even talk English.
What can we do besides calling?
They're ignoring us.
The frustration you can hear the frustration in my book in my voice.
Well, they I've I hear it and it is being echoed from coast to coast.
But they're not listening.
They don't care what we say.
Yeah, it's it's not that they're ignoring us, Nancy, is it they are looking us in the face and saying, screw you.
Absolutely.
They're not ignoring us.
They are insulting us.
They are telling us we don't count.
They are telling us whatever the hell you want doesn't matter.
You they they look at us with contempt.
They look at us as an obstacle to overcome.
They are they like many totalitarians, the people are the problem.
The people are the obstacle.
The Constitution is an obstacle that has to be overcome, and they're using trickery and illegality and lawlessness to get this done if they're able to on Sunday with a slaughter solution.
But Rush, 46% of the people in the United States are still approving of the job he's doing.
Where are these idiot 46%?
He should be at 20%.
That's what they did to Bush, who am I?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a second now.
Bush was nowhere near these numbers at this point in his presidency.
He was still in the 60s.
It's a second now.
Wait a it took them five years to get Bush into the 30s.
At this rate, we'll have Obama in the 30s by August.
He should be in the he should be in the twenties now.
Don't they see?
Should be and will be are two different things.
And you have to understand it's still honeymoon time for a lot of people.
He's the president.
There's some people who are just gonna say they like the job he's doing because they're afraid to tell a polster anything other than that because he's black.
They don't want a polster to think they're racist.
There's all kinds of stuff that factors into this.
What you have to run understand is that you are in the vast majority of people in this country.
You are as frustrated and you have as many millions and millions of Americans who are as frustrated as you who are asking, who the hell is Tom Hanks and why don't we care?
And who the hell is actress A B C and D?
Why do we care?
And who is Chris Matthews or why do we care?
Who are they?
Why do we care?
Well, we don't care.
The Cartoon Network has a larger audience and MSNBC and CNN combined.
People aren't watching them, Nancy.
We are winning this, except our obstacle is we have a bunch of statist, tyranny devoted totalitarians that we're fighting here, who don't care about the democratic process or that this is a representative republic.
They have a soapbox and so do uh you know 245, 7, they got him elected.
They're the ones, those idiots on Saturday Night Live that made fun of Sarah Palin.
Every time somebody says to me, Sarah Palin is an airhead, she's stupid.
I said, tell me one stupid thing she said.
They can't say anything.
They watched Saturday Night Live and Tina Fay listened to Tina Faye and equated that with Sarah Palin.
Nobody can tell me one stupid thing she said.
And I say to them, you're telling me she can't do a better job than Obama's doing?
I mean, I look people in it, tell me what quote me one stupid thing she said.
And uh on the economy, why aren't we drilling for oil?
Do you know how much do they know how much money we could save if we drilled for oil in Alaska?
Or the money we wouldn't have to send to Saudi Arabia?
All right, all right.
Why don't you try to answer just one of these questions for me?
I know why.
It's all political.
Why did he send two point two billion dollars to Brazil and let them draw for oil?
Because George Soros gave money to his campaign, and he owes money.
All right.
Oh, I know what's going on.
But you can't talk people into it.
I'm arguing the post office.
Some idiot kid turns around and says to me, Halliburton.
I said, if I hear that name one more time, I'm telling you, I have almost gone to jail.
I tell my nephew, who's a police officer, Tom, get ready to bail me out because I'm standing in the post office and I said something, and some idiot turns around and says, Oh, Halliburton.
And I said, Oh, please, but the Halliburton, let it go.
I said, Do you know that Obama sent 2.2 billion dollars to Brazil to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil because his friend George Soros owns uh why?
Most people don't know that.
They have buzzwords.
Why?
I want you to dig deep.
Because the media isn't a big thing.
No, no, no, no, no.
Why?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Why is Obama doing all these destructive things?
Why?
Because he wants to ruin the country.
Okay.
He's a communist.
I'm sorry, but he's a communist.
Now, what's your favorite pasta dish?
Um, I guess I like Monagas the best.
Anytime you're in New Jersey, give me a call, make you a nice Italian dinner.
Thank you, Nancy.
I appreciate it.
Make it homemade.
Oh, I can't wait.
I'd love it.
Thanks so much.
I gotta run, folks.
We will be right back.
Stay with us.
And welcome back.
It's Rush Lindwall, the EIB network and open line Friday in the fix bill.
I just saw this in the uh in the fix bill.
The reconciliation bill, whatever, there is uh there are there are dramatic cuts for private in-home uh or inpatient psychiatric care.
Yep.
What they ought to do then is reopen that place or and just put it in Pelosi's office, because that's where the insanity in this country is.
Now, this lady that called, what was her name from uh New Jersey, Nancy?
Nancy.
Nancy typifies, she exemplifies what is about to boil over and boil over outside people's homes.
She said that inside her home, but she's not far from taking it outside her home if you get my drift, and this is happening all over the country.
Nancy, I want to answer your question.
I didn't want to interrupt you.
Why do forty-six percent of the people still proof approve of Obama?
It's about the percentage of people that get government benefits.
About 46% of the people get food stamps, welfare, unemployment compensation, whatever.
Forty six percent of the people get some kind of uh government assistance, and a lot of them, as you know, we've had them on this show associate it personally with Obama from his from his stash.
And about twenty-five to thirty percent are paying for that 46%.
But there's a lesson here, and I would be remiss if I did not teach it to you.
Nancy's call, all of this anger, all of this frustration, all of this, I can't take it anymore, is what happens when Republicans decide to teach Republicans a lesson.
All of you who are mad now, you were mad back in 2006.
The Republicans were two big spenders.
They were no different than the Democrats.
You wanted to teach Republicans a lesson.
There was no difference in the two parties.
And so the Democrats won the House.
Obama won the White House two years later.
This is what happens when you teach Republicans a lesson.
When you think there's purity in throwing your own guys out.
This notion that there's no difference between the parties.
Do you think that's true now?
Do you think there's really no difference between the two parties?
Do you think any of this would be going, even if McCain, you think we'd be doing this kind of process to get national health care, even if McCain had been elected?
Nope.
No way.
Okay, um two things on websites and phone calls.
Uh friend of mine, Heather Higgins, independent women's voice, just posted a very easy to use website.
It's called Barack Hates This dot com.
It is a list.
There's you don't have to spend any money there.
There are no tricks.
You're not gonna get fundraising letters, you're not gonna get request for money.
It's a list of all the undecided.
Their local phone numbers and their Washington phone numbers.
And the thing to understand about the blue dogs and these moderates, they're Democrats.
What will turn them is when they know you understand what's going on here.
If they think they can vote for this and rely on on your ignorance when they come back, no, no, no.
What I voted for was X, and that you'll believe the Y, then they'll vote for it.
But if the blue dogs become convinced that their constituents know what's going on here, that's how they're going to be persuaded.
That's how they're going to be swayed.
And that's why you have to keep calling them.
It's Barack HatesThis.com.
We're probably going to shut this down for a while, uh, but keep trying to get through.
It's very well placed in position for people to see who is still undecided, and very simple their local phone number, the local office number, and then the Washington office number.
Barack hates this dot com.
Remember that the blue dogs and all these moderates, once they know that their constituents have figured out what's going on, that's the beginning of the process where they firm up and vote no.
Somebody pointed out to me yesterday that this toll free number in Washington, 877-762-8762, translates to S O B U S O B. 877-762-8762 is S O B U S O B. S O B U S O B. Look it up.
It works.
Who's next?
John in uh route on Route 81 in New York.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, thank you for taking my call.
Yeah.
Um, I was traveling on back to Virginia.
I just uh elected uh about a month and a half ago to move my family back to Virginia from New York.
We're voting with our feet.
Uh not, you know, I guess our will.
We'd rather this is where we grew up, but we there's not really any choice.
You know, I'm uh a small business guy, uh self-employed guy, and uh we just finally had to say uncle.
And uh the fact what I really wanted to say is I uh you know if the rest of the country really wants to have uh regulated health care situation similar to that we have in New York, and all that goes with it, the high cost of health insurance and the incredibly low benefits, then all they have to do is support this health care reform, and that's exactly what they'll get.
Well, in fact, if you go to if you go to Massachusetts, I got a story right here in the Boston Globe.
More cuts loom as state faces 295 million dollars in red ink.
There is rising demand for Massachusetts universal care.
Uh just exactly people think it's free.
People think they've oh, and they're using it for people that the people are using it for uh things that was never intended.
Average run of the mill, I got a cold.
Don't go to the doctor when you have a cold, get Zygam.
Oral spray, put it in your mouth, spray it four times once you think you got the symptoms, and you won't get the symptoms as bad.
And the cold won't last as long.
Every three hours, four times in the mouth, oral spray it's a mint spray too.
Zycam, it works.
After two years of budget cutting, the state facing at least two more years of dire budgets, the latest shortfall's a very big deal, almost 300 million dollars in Reading.
Massachusetts, New York, every liberal city and state is a blueprint for where we're headed.
They do not have the votes.
Obama wouldn't have gone on Fox, he wouldn't have gone out to George Mason today if he had the votes.
He wouldn't have canceled his trip for Sunday if he had the votes.
They don't have the votes.
This is by no means over.
877 762 8762 or S O B U S O B. That's a toll free number to the Capitol Hill switchboard.
We'll see you Monday.
