Time Text
Oh, wait, before that sound by 2, 3, and 4, stand by with the soundbite of me from the close of yesterday's program.
Greetings and welcome back.
I am Rush Lynn Ball.
Great to have you here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.
The email address, El Rushball at EIBNet.com.
So Obama keeps saying, after a century of trying, we now have health insurance.
What?
Maybe the Democrats tried.
Maybe they invoked Teddy Roosevelt, who if he was around today would surely wonder about a new massive spending bill.
But what Obama is really saying, my dear friends, is that we statistically tried to force this on the people for 100 years, and we finally did it against your will.
That's what he's saying, because that's who he's been waging war against.
If they have a victory, the victory is against us.
No question.
Here's how I ended the program yesterday talking to a caller who was very frustrated about all of this.
And you're really distressed because it may not be that there's a pro-life church anymore.
The left is taking over every institution.
They have to be stopped.
And it's about time.
Maybe, you know, I'm not trying to be polyanish.
Look at the bright side of this because I don't frankly see many.
But one of them is, don't doubt me anymore.
It's out in front of your eye.
Believe what you see.
Believe what you hear.
It is real.
The Catholic Church has a bunch of leftists in it who would just as soon destroy the church and remake it as the government has liberals in it who want to remake our government, destroy the Constitution.
Liberals are liberals.
They do not value institutions until they run them and remake them in their own way.
And nothing is sacred.
Not the Catholic Church, not the Methodist Church.
Nothing.
Zilch, Zero, Nada.
I shouldn't have to say this, especially after this weekend.
The real challenge, and it's hard, I know it's hard, you can't believe that we've elected people to run this country who don't like it.
Well, we did, but not on purpose.
They were fooled, lied to, defrauded, everything else.
So it's out there right in the open for everyone to see and take note of.
They don't deserve to win another election ever.
The country cannot withstand them winning another major election.
Don't doubt me.
Yeah, you just heard Stacey from the insurance industry in Atlanta who called here and said that her assessment, along with many of her colleagues, is that her industry has two to three years left.
And people, we've been warning of this for a number of months, that these premium increases are on purpose because what Obama and all of these Democrats want is single payer.
Single payer is the government.
No insurance companies at all.
No insurance companies.
Single payer.
We've played you the sound bites of Obama saying so.
Now he knows, they're smart enough to know that if they actually came out and said, by January 1st of 2011, we're just going to eliminate insurance companies.
They're never going to get away with that.
They have to do it in a way that nobody would believe that's the end result.
Nobody will, just like you can't believe we've elected somebody who doesn't like the Constitution, doesn't like the country, it's hard to believe we've elected somebody who really wants to put an entire industry out of business.
It just doesn't jive with what people think of their own country.
But if she's right, when she said to us that the major premium increases that we all know are coming are not going to hit until January, because that's when group policies renew.
And the increases are going to be 300% to handle all of the new demands the government via Obamacare is putting on the insurance companies.
Now, here's what's going to happen.
The minute those policy renewals hit and the 300% increase hits instead of the $2,500 premium reduction that Obama promised, Obama will take to the airwaves.
We came up the best comprehensive insurance reform plan ever.
And we try to fix this.
Are these the most greedy people?
These people?
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
These people have done everything they can to take advantage of this wonderful plan that we put forth.
They said so much greed, so much greed, they have no care for anybody else.
And he'll just shock.
That's when they dump all over the insurance.
When you're just as mad at them, taking advantage, they think, of what you don't know, that Obama's health care plan caused this.
They're banking on the fact that the state-controlled media will not tell you a thing about this.
They're banking on the fact that the people that do tell you about this are going to be able to be characterized as kooks and alarmists and scaremongers.
So that when these massive premium increases hit, Obama, and it's not just going to be Obama, it's going to be Pelosi, it's going to be Reed, and all these people running around.
I can't believe these insurance companies.
After we've put together the most comprehensive reform to reduce premiums, to cover everybody and to fix all these problems, this greed, we have never, and then they'll make the move to get rid of them.
Because what they want is no insurance industry anyway, private insurance industry.
They want single payer, pure and simple.
Now, a lot of people, this is actually a good question.
I'm going to talk about Hillsdale College here for just a second because institutions like this, Hillsdale, the Heritage Foundation, are going to be crucial going forward.
These are people that are true believers.
They are not going to lose their momentum or energy.
But a lot of people have sent me an email.
Why are you telling us about Hillsdale College?
Sounds like a great school, but why are you telling us about this?
Well, I'm telling you about it because they want their story told.
They're very proud of what they're doing.
Dr. Larry Arne runs the place, and it is probably a model of what most people think higher education in America was and probably should be.
The people at Hillsdale are interested in the Constitution.
They are devoted to it.
They teach it.
It's first, whatever else you get a degree in at Hillsdale, you come out of there a constitutional scholar as well.
Because the people that run Hillsdale and the professors that teach there understand that if we are to save the country and to maintain it as it's been, individual citizens are going to have to be educated in the Constitution so that they then become an army unto themselves.
Now, not everybody can go to Hillsdale.
They don't have enough classrooms.
They don't have enough space on their campus for everybody to go there.
They don't take any government money.
They don't even let anybody go on a student loan or a GI bill because they don't want one tentacle of government there.
They want total independence.
They publish a digest.
It's called Imprimus.
It's genuinely free.
1.7 million monthly readers, and it's a collection of speeches that people of great intellect, great ideas have given over the course of the years at Hillsdale.
They're just trying to make you aware who they are and what they're doing.
And here's how you get it.
The next time you're online, just type in rushforhillsdale.com as the web address.
You sign yourself up online for a free subscription to Imprimus, and nothing else is going to happen.
You're not going to get on any mailing list, and you're not going to be hit up for a donation or any of that.
You're just going to get the magazine.
They're just proud of what they're doing, proud of who they are, and they want more people to know about it.
Rush4Hillsdale.com to get Imprimus.
And if you want to call, it's a 1-866 Hillsdale.
They have two times every year where parents can go visit the school.
And at any time, a parent can have a conference with a professor.
They welcome it.
It's a family.
It's a family-type operation, but it's an educational institution of the highest order.
Hillsdale, 1-866-Hillsdale is a number, or Rush4Hillsdale.com.
Talent on loan from God, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling Maha Rushi from the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Joe in St. Louis, thank you for waiting, sir.
You're up next.
Hello.
You know, Rush, I've got to disagree with you about two things.
The Democrat Party, as far back as Roosevelt, has never been anything but a party of envy, jealousy, and greed.
And they've always been a minority.
But come this election, the people that voted for Obama, they didn't vote because of hatred.
They voted, they didn't vote for Hope and Change.
They voted to get even with me and you.
It's payback time.
And that's all it ever is.
Well, that's essentially what I said, that they hate us.
Well, it's more than just hatred.
It's payback.
It's getting, because I know, and I know that you know, that none of these people's lives will change and their life will not be any better than it is now.
But as long as me and you and the people that listen to you are getting hurt, that's all they care about.
It's payback time.
I do not disagree with that in any shape, matter, or form.
I do think at the leadership level, look at what's driving this at the leadership level is a dislike for the structure of this country, for the basic foundations of it.
And you know, the thing about that is, is Pelosi and Reed and all of them, they know that none of these things will ever touch them or their families because they'll be wherever they're at.
They'll have their money.
They'll have their perks.
Nancy will fly all over the world on Air Force planes.
These things will never touch them.
They'll just affect me and you.
And the other thing I would tell you that I disagree with you about with Stacey, if you remember a few years ago when you had people calling in talking about how when they lost their jobs, it was a good thing.
People in your audience aren't going to sit around and give you a sob story.
We might sit out here and we might Hillary a little bit, but nobody cares and nobody listens.
Oh, don't misunderstand now.
I'm not talking about a bunch of people quitting, but I'm telling you, what I mean by sob story, I want people to call this program whose stories are the result of federal government action and legislation forcing them to take a new direction that they maybe didn't want to have to take, shutting down their business, making it impossible to run their business with high taxes or what have you.
The purpose here is to illustrate the details of the program, not to create a bunch of whiners.
We're not doing that.
Well, we already know all that.
We know everything that the government does to us.
And I love you, Rush.
Don't misunderstand.
But you know what?
You're not going to give me or Stacy or anybody to sit around and cry and whine.
We just get up and keep moving on because you know what?
That's what we've learned from you.
Well, I understand.
I've really, I appreciate that.
I really do.
I don't expect anybody to sit.
That's how we're going to overcome this.
The Americans, like Ed Funder at Heritage yesterday, said, the American people are not constantly forever thwarted.
We totally believe this.
I just want to turn a little tactic around on them for some entertainment's sake here.
I don't know if we can overcome this rush because I think there's a majority of people in this country.
Wait a minute.
Now, you can't have it both ways.
You can't sit here.
You can't sit here and say, don't give me any sob stories.
These people are going to go out there.
They're going to do whatever they have.
And then the next breath say they can't overcome it.
Rush, we're going to keep fighting.
But I'm telling you, I'm afraid that there's a majority of people in this country now that have been taught to sit there with their hands out.
And I can remember back in the 92 election when some little snot-nosed little brat girl got up and asked George Bush, I just got out of college and I just had a baby and I got all of these bills.
And what are you going to do for me?
And instead of telling her, ma'am, that's not my job to take care of you, your baby, and your college bills and all this, he started rattling off all these things that he was going to do to help her.
And then Bill Clinton gave her a ton more of things he was going to do for her.
And there's too many people.
I know, than the ponytail guys still.
Well, it's not a majority yet.
If it were a majority, we'd have 60% approval of the health care bill.
It isn't over yet.
It's not a 60% or even over 50% majority of people who want to hang around with their hands out.
We're not there yet.
If it is, we're not.
We're not there.
It isn't over.
All right.
I'm with you.
I'm not going anywhere.
Well, I might be, but I'm Shariga with you, baby.
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
Anyway, Joe, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
Look at this.
Look at this.
This is from Time magazine here.
Time.com just posted on the website.
Well, they say it's been posted at 229.
It's not 229 yet.
So I guess we got an advanced copy.
Five reasons Republicans should let go of health care.
Number one, what happens when, as Obama put it to the Democrat House caucus on Saturday, lo and behold, nobody's pulling the plug on Granny?
Number two, repeal the bill, a politically popular statement to the base.
But to repeal such a massive piece of legislation, they would need a 60-vote majority in the Senate as well as control of the House and the presidency.
The odds of that are very slim, so they can't pull that off.
Number three, of the five reasons Republicans don't let go of health care, in opposing reconciliation, the GOP would, in some cases, be opposing things that they like, they actually like.
Without going into detail on that, let's just leave that stand.
I'll just go through the other two here.
Number four, the courts have a long history of federal law taking precedent over state laws, Medicare and Medicaid, for example.
And number five, the party of no label.
Those are five reasons why the very helpful journalists at Time Magazine think that Republicans should let go of health care.
Now, there is another possibility, the fact that they actually care about our welfare.
Because if I had to guess, I would say Time Magazine would be no different than Obama and love to see us effectively end as an effective political machine.
So maybe these five things are actually what they are most afraid of.
Maybe these five things are, and they would just assume we drop all these efforts because they think Obama, the Democrats, may actually be vulnerable on these things.
I don't trust these people.
I don't think anybody at Time Magazine hopes I succeed.
I don't think any Time Magazine hopes.
I don't make a fool of myself.
Don't think anybody at Time Magazine really wants Mitch McConnell or Paul Ryan or Steve King in Iowa.
It's a triumph here.
I don't think they really want to spare them any embarrassment.
I think it's just the exact opposite.
Here's George in Hartford, Connecticut.
Glad you called.
You're next on the Russian Emboy program.
Hi.
Yeah, Rush.
There's one word for the Republicans, and that's ownership.
They have to, between now and November, make sure the Democrats own this health care bill.
There wasn't one Republican in the House that voted for it, and now they're using reconciliation in the Senate.
So they need every day, you don't need to be negative and no.
All you need to know is that they own this bill.
It's their name on it.
They're the ones that came up with this crappy bill, and they have to make sure that every single day, that's what they talk about.
In the reelection campaign, when they're talking and they're debating these Democrats, they have to be firm on that you own it.
You created it.
You're responsible for it.
And if the Republicans do that, Rush, I really feel that we'll be successful in 2010.
Well, we understandably have a lot of people who agree with that, and I don't disagree with it.
But what if, as we just learned, what if from, and we learned from the Politico that none of the really bad stuff that anybody would not want to lay claim for owning really kicks in immediately.
Right.
And that's probably by design.
And there's, I mean, everything's calculated with this administration, but they have to say your insurance rates will go up in 2011.
They will in just a short month and a half if they were actually, I think they have been.
The Republicans have been pretty good.
They've held firm in the House and the Senate.
I don't know, there's not a whole lot the Republicans could have done beyond what they did.
And there has been, you know, they've been pretty good in educating people what's in this bill.
People know insurance premiums are coming up.
The polling data on the bill wouldn't be as bad for the Democrats as it is if the Republicans weren't doing something right.
And a CNN poll, 59% don't want the poll, our bill.
46% disapprove of Obama.
Well, this is happening for a host of reasons, but not because the Republicans are being silent.
The Republicans are, I think, on this, I've got to say, we've been pretty proud of them, especially the Republicans in the House.
Republicans in the House deserve some kudos here.
Now, how much is your computer worth?
Is it worth as much as your health insurance premium?
Well, what's on your computer?
How many of you are new to using computers don't really understand the whole concept of backing them up because you don't have to back up your dishwasher or your television set or whatever?
But how many of you new to computers have discovered all the things you can do with pictures on them, all the things that you can do to save space on countertops and shelves?
You can put all these important documents on your computer.
But then what happens if you lose them?
If you lose them, it's like losing these things at a fire in your office or your home.
And I guarantee you don't have your paper documents backed up either, do you?
You know, whatever they are, they're just there.
Unless you have them on your computer, then you think they're backed up.
But what if your computer goes south?
And it will.
At some point, somebody's going to steal it.
At some point, somebody's going to spill something on it.
At some point, it's just going to crap out.
They all do.
At some point, computer hard drives freeze up and you're going to lose your data.
You've got to be able to get it back.
Carbonite.com can do that for you, $55 a month for your Mac or PC.
It backs up off-site online every time you're connected to the internet.
You won't even see it happen.

Carbonite.com, use the offer code Rush magic happens.
The very mention of my name and welcome back thinking about that Politico piece here from Carrie Budhoff Brown in which she says, well, the Democrats are really smart here because they have timed a lot of the goodies to kick in not all of them by any means right before the November elections, but all of the pain, the poison pills,
don't kick in until after the 2012 election.
Now, and this is said to be something that will harm Republican reelection chances and our effort to take over the House, maybe the Senate, in November.
Well, Ms. Brudolf Brown and all of you at the Politico, as far as I know, none of the bad stuff kicked in during the debate before the bill passed either, and we still had a majority of Americans opposing the bill, even though none of the bad stuff happened.
Of course, nothing happened during the debate, but look, no matter how you want to slice it, nowhere near a majority of the people support this health care bill.
That having been said, we need to keep talking about what's coming in the bill now that it is law, just like we were discussing what was coming if it were made into a law.
We need to be talking about what's going to happen next year, what's.
Going to happen in 2012 and 2013, how it's so bad that Obama pushed off a lot of the worst of the bill until after the next presidential race because he knows it stinks.
This is not hard to say.
It's the truth.
We have been saying this throughout this year-long debate.
No reason to stop now.
Now's the time to ramp this up.
And here's another twist.
Here's another twist.
I think that in the meantime, we ought to start demanding all of the benefits.
We want the premium reductions now.
We want access to free services now, like the free preventive care, like colonoscopies and whatever mammograms.
We want the deficit reduction, starting now.
We want all the promises today.
We don't want the promises in 2014.
We don't want the promises in 2019.
We want it now.
We want all of the goodies in this bill to happen immediately because, after all, most of the people that supported it think this stuff happens immediately if Obama is to be true to his word, if Obama is to be true to his supporters, who voted and supported this thing.
We want it all now, deficit reduction, free services and the reduction in premiums.
We want all these kids that are going to get to stay on their parents policies 27.
We want that now.
We want the pre-existing condition insurance changed so that it happens right now.
We, not we want 32 million people without health care to have it this week.
We don't want to wait until 2015 for these poor, unfortunate people.
We've already been told that 127 people are dying a day because they don't have health insurance.
Well, now we've got health care reform and until 2014, 127 people will continue to die a day because they don't have health insurance.
In the meantime, we thought this was fixed.
So, right now today, we demand and yes Republicans, i'm giving you some talking points here we demand that all 32 million uninsured be covered by the start of next week.
Get the process going, tell the 32 million where to go, what they have to do to get their insurance that they are unfairly being denied today.
We want to lower that.
It's going to lower the deficit.
Why wait till 2014 to lower the deficit?
Why wait till 2019 to lower the deficit?
Let's lower the deficit starting next week.
If this bill has all of this magic, if this bill is Christmas, why wait until December?
Let's have Christmas in March, Christmas in April.
They're waiting for it in Raleigh.
Grab audio soundbite number 31.
This poor guy, DeCarlo Flithe, he's waiting for it.
Wait till somebody tells him this doesn't happen till 2014.
It's just going to be like Christmas.
I mean, it's going to be great.
You know, worries, you know, the bills, we can go ahead and pay our copay and be all right.
Right.
DeCarlo Flythe, well, he's not going to be all right when he finds out that none of this Christmas stuff happens until 2014.
And he doesn't have insurance now.
He may be one of the 127 that die between now and 2014, or 127 a day, Obama's own numbers, who are dying because they don't have health insurance.
We want the union health care benefits taxed now.
All these Cadillac insurance plans, we want them now.
We don't want to wait till 2018 for the tax to kick in on Cadillac insurance plans.
How are we going to reduce the deficit?
Why wait till 2018?
For crying out loud, we don't know who's going to be president then.
2018, it's like eight years from now, nine years from now.
We want the Cadillac tax on union health plans now.
The carve-out is 2018.
It did make it in, but there's a carve-out.
Remember, it's part of the Nebraska, the Cornhusker kickback.
Whether it's in reconciliation or the Senate bill, it's in there.
Obama, no, it's 2018.
That's the carve-out.
He didn't eliminate it.
He just delayed the implementation of 2018.
That's what I'm saying.
We want it now.
The $2,500 checks that constitute the reduction in insurance premiums, send them out tomorrow.
Obama said insurance premium is going to drop by $2,500.
He also said that senior citizens are going to get $250, big whoop, to close a donut hole to pay for prescriptions they can't afford now.
Send the checks out.
What are we waiting for?
There's no time to waste.
We're talking life and death here.
We got to spare people from dying because of the evil insurance companies.
I'm dead serious about this.
The point is, the benefits don't all kick in now either, just as the taxes don't all kick in until after the midterm elections in many cases.
So all we have to do, all we have to do from now to November is just ask the Reagan question, are you better off today than you were 48 hours ago?
Are you better off today than you were yesterday?
Get hold of DeCarlo Fly.
Here, grab audio sound by 31 number again.
Get hold of this guy tomorrow and ask him, has Santa shown up?
It's just going to be like Christmas.
I mean, it's going to be great.
You know, worries, you know, the bills, we can go ahead and pay our copay and be all right.
Why wait?
Why wait for any of this?
Because all of the things that are going to happen on the deficit reduction side, why wait till 2014?
Now.
32 million uninsured.
Save their lives.
Why not just do it now, Mr. President?
After all, life is just a copay, according to DeCarlo Flive.
That's the only pain he's going to have once Santa shows up.
That's like having to fill your own stocking after going through what's under the tree.
You'd gladly fill your own stocking, pay your copay.
Life's just a copay.
Folks, you know, what I'm sensing here today, we got this Time magazine piece.
We got this political piece.
I'm warning you, they're going to be doing everything they can from the White House to Congress to the media to dispirit you, to tell you it can't happen.
We ought to drop this whole thing.
Opposition to healthcare is going to kill us.
Take a look at the polling data.
People who support health care are dying.
Pelosi is at 11%.
Harry Reid's at 8%.
Obama's at 46 to 44%.
And they're trying to tell us we hold a losing hand here.
Bunch of local weed idiots demand it all now.
It's so wonderful.
It's so good.
It has so many great things for America.
Why wait?
Why wait?
Why?
Who knows what's going to happen between now and 2014?
I mean, we got to, you know, just do Demon Pass and get it done.
It's real simple.
Quickly, this is Ronnie in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Great to have you on the EIB Network.
Hello.
True pleasure, Rush.
I'll get straight to my point.
The number one default argument for all of this transformational change, including the health care bill, stimulus, is all about what the president inherited.
I've heard it from the president.
I've heard it from every supporter.
It's all about what he inherited.
And my question to you is, what do you think the next president's going to inherit in terms of unemployment, in terms of deficit spending, in terms of government debt?
I mean, what, I mean, you want to talk about what the, you know, inheriting problems.
And I just really love to hear your answer.
What do you think the next president, assuming he's a constitutional-based president, what kind of problems do you think he'll inherit?
Well, I think I just went through it.
He's going to inherit 32 million people with coverage that don't have it now.
He's going to inherit deficit reduction.
He's going to inherit panacea.
He's going to inherit utopia.
Obama's on the way to get.
That's what the next president's going to inherit.
That's what they want us to believe.
Well, I'll tell you, and the second real point, real quick, is that it's so funny to hear about the Democrats talk about the party of no while they're taking away holidays, crosses, sugar, trans fat, health care.
I mean, one civil liberty after another, and it's the party of no's fault.
I love it.
Thank you, Rush.
Keep thinking that way.
These people in this audience, understandably because they have me as host, are the most informed, critically thinking people in this country.
It honors me.
And by the way, while we are at it, ladies and gentlemen, why don't we demand that unemployment be 8% starting next week?
What if Barack Obama had said, and he signed the stimulus bill, no, we're not going to have any new jobs 2014?
What if when he said, how many of you expected a job to happen within the next month or two after he signed the stimulus bill?
Three or four more million of you lost your gigs.
We're up at 10% unemployment, 20% underemployment, no end in sight.
Why don't we just demand 8%?
What if he had waited until 2014 to promise job creation?
Probably would have been honest, if then.
Now, you want to run the numbers on 123 people dying every day between now and 2014?
It's 180,000, basically, give or take, between now and 2014.
180,000 Americans will die because they don't have health insurance between now and 2014.
Because the 32 million don't, they, I heard Obama say today, whoa, yeah, it doesn't kick in.
I mean, we got to get it right.
We've got to do this right.
Single moms that die?
If you think that figures, statistically, you'd have to say some single mothers will die among the 180,000.
Yeah.
So some more Marcellus kids' mothers will die.
Unless we get this stuff kicking in right now, we just have to.
I don't know.
I don't know why we're waiting.
Sandy and Sebastian, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call and giving me an early birthday gift.
Home from work today fighting off an infection, so I've been able to listen to your show.
And I had heard about the value-added tax.
Wait a second.
Wait just a second.
Uh-oh.
I hate it when people call here sick.
Did you say fighting off an infection?
Well, they're not quite sure if it's shingles or some sort of staph infection, but you know, that's horrible.
I was kind of fighting off the scene today.
I'm sorry.
I was going to suggest Zycam, but that won't work on shingles.
No, it doesn't.
And you know, that sick feeling that I heard one of your other callers talk about that you also mentioned, you know, it's worse in my own stomach.
It's worse than when 9-11 occurred.
You know, at least then we knew it was a foreign enemy, but it's clear now that our enemy, the new enemy, is our own government and its disregard for, you know, the people's will of this country.
And so I hope you people in the media are listening to this because this is what people think.
The enemy, the biggest threat we face is our own government right now.
And we're not going to lose passion on that subject.
We're not going to all of a sudden stop caring about that.
You people in the media, the White House, need to know.
That's well put, Sandy.
Thank you.
And, you know, thank you, Brush.
But, you know, I'm going to be fighting it too.
I'm going to be looking for, you know, fiscally responsible individuals that maybe are the unknown at this point that will be coming out and representing the people's voice.
And I hope to see changes.
So I am hopeful, you know, and every day I wake up and I say the serenity prayer.
And, you know, I go with that for my day.
And you better tell people what the serenity prayer is because some of them don't know what it is.
Well, it says, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
So clearly you believe changing our government is something you can do.
I think it's going to have to take a number of people in this country, which I think right now there's a huge base.
I mean, there are many people.
I'm in the healthcare field myself.
We were very subdued.
It was a very, you know, it's like we're faced with the unknown right now.
And so, you know, this is.
No, no, no, no, it's not unknown.
We know exactly what's coming.
Well, that's true.
This is my point, Sandy.
We know exactly what's coming.
It's right in front of our face.
It just happened, and more of it is on the way.
It's no longer, we don't have the luxury to say, we didn't know this.
We don't know this was coming.
We don't have that luxury.
We do know what's coming.
No question about it.
Now, Sandy, shingles, I'm so sorry.
I was hoping you had, when you said infection, it was, it might have been cold virus.
I could help you out there.
But if it's shingles, you're just going to have to hang in there until 2014.
We'll be thinking about you.
It'd have been so easy.
I'm holding right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers the simple best way to stop a cold that in its tracks.
And I would have loved to have been able to tell her that.
Sadly, this won't work on shingles.
It's Zycam, and this is oral mint spray.
And you spray it in your mouth four times, four times every three hours, from the moment you think you're getting a cold, and magic happens.
I have yet to get an email from somebody who told me it didn't work, except if they used it too long after the cold hit.
You use it the minute you think you're getting a stuffy nose, watery eyes, whatever the sore throat.
Guarantee you.
Use it properly.
It'll reduce the symptoms of your cold and the severity tremendously.
This is Gary in Marco, California.
We have about 45 seconds.
I wanted to get to you.
Hello, sir.
Yes, Rush.
I just want to say that this thing of health care from our president is smoking mirrors.
He does not give a damn about you or me.
Let me tell you, we could go back to before he was president.
If you remember when he promised the troops, the nation's finest, that he was going to go visit them at Walter Reed Hospital.
He went to go work out.
He didn't even go see the nation's finest.
If he wouldn't see the nation's finest, do you think he gives a damn about you and me?
Well, you know, it's clear that the bill is not about health.
If it were about insuring the uninsured, we wouldn't be waiting four years to do it.
I think he's such a narcissist.
All he wants is to love himself and secondarily to be loved.
And he's got, you know, a psychological profile difficult for a lot of people to understand.
I got to run because of time constraints.
I'm glad you called.
We'll be right back.
Type.
And we're going to close out the show today, folks, with one more visit to our beloved friend, DeCarlo Flythe, caught on tape on Raleigh television last night.
It's just going to be like Christmas.
I mean, it's going to be great.
You know, worries, you know, the bills, we can go ahead and pay our copay and be all right.
DeCarlo, you need to, I said Tampa earlier.
You need to call a woman in Fort Myers and ask her if she's got a new kitchen or a new car.
She asked for it last, what?
March?
February.
See you tomorrow, folks.
