The views expressed by the host on this program now, documented to be almost always right.
99.6% of the time.
It's Friday live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And here's the telephone number, 800-282-2882.
This is a big day.
Unlike Monday through Thursday, this is the day when you get on the phones, you own the content of the program.
Say whatever you want.
I mean what in reason.
We still have rutles.
We don't let people complain about the light bill or any of that.
Do that on your local show.
800 to 800-282-2882.
Let me get something out of the way here because I got so many people on my staff.
Rush, rush, look at this, look at this, and immediately not even talking about it.
And I got friends sending me this.
And need to put this in perspective.
It's from the New Jersey Bergen County record.
Bergen County representative of the state teachers union has ratcheted up the campaign against Governor Christie's agenda in a fiery memo that encourages members to get some dirt and go public and adds the education commissioner to the attack list.
So far so good, and that's true.
But it's the memo's closing prayer that uh the Bergen record says is going to what?
You think you know it's coming.
Well, but okay, so you've but you know that well, you don't I bet you don't know the origin of this.
This guy did not write the prayer.
Okay.
Uh it's the memo's closing prayer that's sure to ignite controversy.
The prayer in this memo reads as follows.
Dear Lord, this year you've taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress Farah Fawcett, my favorite singer Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman Billy Mays.
I just wanted you to know, Lord, that Chris Christie is my favorite governor.
Now, this is an internet joke that's been it's gone viral.
It's been out there for weeks.
Uh, well, since the health care bill passed, the original punchline is I just want to let you know, Lord, that Nancy Pelosi is my favorite Congresswoman.
So this guy who wrote the memo, just saw this on the internet and plugged in Chris Christie's name.
He did not write it.
And that's why I'm not making a big deal out of it.
Uh, because it's it's this is the this happens all the time.
People see something on the internet that think nobody else has seen it, they put in a memo, and this guy's just gotten uh gotten swamped by it.
All right.
Well, uh, I'm giving him look it.
I am giving him a pass because he didn't write it.
The other stuff, go dig some dirt, and I'm not giving him a pass on that stuff.
But but this is look at.
I know there's a double standard.
I know there's a double standard here, Snerdley, but this this I don't think this guy really wants Christie to be killed, is my point.
Uh there are plenty of other things to get underwear in a wad over.
This is not one of them.
As far as I'm I'm I could be wrong, I doubt it.
But I could be wrong.
But if it's not original, if somebody's out there just copying something, uh, then I don't consider it genuine.
I don't consider it to come from their heart, their brain, or whatever.
They're they're just it's this guy's a hack.
He's a union guy, and Chris Christie is doing a great job, and even Democrats in New Jersey are joining with him to try to roll back some of these unreasonable aspects of contracts that unions have in the state of New Jersey.
Now, I want to go back to Maxine Waters, and I want to play for you what precipitated her comment.
Now, again, this is May 22nd, 2008.
We're we're at or near 150 bucks a barrel for oil.
That meant $4 gasoline, $4 a gallon.
Everybody was just fit to be tied.
And Maxine Waters asked the Shell Oil Company president, John Hoffmeister, the following question.
Can you guarantee the American people that the price of oil will go down If oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want to off U.S. shores.
And this is what he said, and this is a lesson for all these guys that have been summoned by Henry Waxman to take their books, not only their books, they've been told to bring all their emails to explain why they're taking all these charges.
This is how they should respond to Waxman and whoever else is up there.
I can guarantee to the American people, because of the inaction of the United States Congress, ever increasing prices unless the demand comes down, and the five dollars will look like a very low price in the years to come if we are prohibited from finding new reserves, new opportunities to increase supplies.
It just hit her right between the eyes, and that's when she responded with And guess what this Liberal would be all about.
This liberal will be all about socializing uh would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.
She means it.
If she had the druthers and the power, she'd do it.
She means it.
You know, folks, we've been telling you Alan Greenspan has been testifying in front of this what they're the uh the uh the uh crisis, the uh the that committee, this uh blue blue ribbon bunch looking into the uh financial crisis.
It's led by Phil Angelitas, who I know is from Sacramento, ran for governor of California, didn't didn't make it.
And the Republican on the committee, lead Republican is the Bill Thomas, former Ways and Means Chairman, good guy from uh from California.
Now, Greenspan went up there what i when at the end of their careers or when they know that they're not depending on the town anymore, and they're not depending on all the players in the game for their reputation, they can tell the truth.
And Greenspan went up there and said the real problem here is the subprime mortgage crisis.
The the we we had Congress, and he's testifying this special committee.
We had Congress and members of two administrations demanding that banks lend money to people who had no business being lent to.
He didn't, those are my words, but he said it point blank.
And nobody's reported it, other than I, El Rushbow.
Nobody heard him say it.
And we haven't had Barney Frank or Chris Don run out there and say he's lying about it.
Nobody's disputing what he said, and nobody's reporting it either.
So it's interesting how you get the truth from people when they're leaving the game.
Another example of that, Daniel Mud, Daniel, I think he's the son of Roger Mud.
He ran uh Fannie Mae.
Yeah, he was the former Fannie Mae president and uh and CEO.
And here's a little bit of his testimony from this morning on the same thing.
I believe in retrospect that there was overinvestment in housing.
I believe in retrospect, origination standards slipped.
Home ownership rates probably rose too high.
Well, the GSEs were chartered to expand and increase homeownership while operating as private companies.
Yeah, yeah.
In doing so, they contributed to the crisis, but they did not precipitate it.
Now technically he's right.
He's sitting over there at Fannie Mae.
Barney Frank's Fanny.
Maybe he's getting orders.
GSE means government-sponsored uh entities.
They tried to say that these were private sector uh companies run by the government, which the government runs it, it's not private sector.
So he had Chris Dodd and Barney Frank in the Senate and the House respectively, demanding that under the uh under the title of affordable housing, affordable housing, they had to get people in homes that had no business being in homes because they couldn't afford it.
But it was unfair they couldn't afford it, so we're just gonna get them in there anyway.
The banks were forced to make loans.
Fannie Mae was a was was was was forced to buy the mortgages like they do.
That led to the creation of of uh mortgage backed securities, all kinds of new investment products, insurance for what everybody knew was bad paper, and so here's Mud.
He basically is saying the same thing Greenspan did over investment in housing.
Translation, we put too many people in houses that had no business being in houses.
Uh I believe in retrospect, origination standards slipped, meaning We didn't look at who was being put.
In fact, we looked the other way.
We did not disqualify anybody that wanted to get into a house.
We just lent them the money.
Home ownership rates probably rose too high.
Well, that means we had too many people in houses that didn't belong there, which by the way elevated and led to the bubble.
It led to the uh housing prices going up.
And then he says the GSEs, which is Stanny Mae Freddie Mack, uh, were charted to expand and increase home ownership.
So they were told to go right along with the banks and in in in uh the subprime deal.
And he says in doing so, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack contributed to the crisis, but they didn't precipitate it.
And what he means is a don't blame them.
We were just following orders.
We didn't start this.
This wasn't our idea.
This idea actually originated with Clinton.
I remember Janet Reno calling banks and threatening big investigations if they didn't continue to make these loans.
And that's it what we're learning here, all of this financial crisis stuff.
What we're learning, what people are admitting to now, it wasn't Wall Street per se, like Obama and everybody have been blamed.
They're not blameless, but but the the now that the truth is being told by people who are no longer part of the game, we're we're learning that the subprime lending was actually the problem that started all the other dominoes to fall.
And I've I've thought it a long time, and a lot of other people have.
It was it was which means ultimately that the fault of all this, you can go back to Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd.
You'll remember that uh uh Bush actually tried to get a bunch of regulators in there and testifying to stop this, and Barney Frank just ran roughsh over them.
Just I remember seeing some of the video tape from the uh from the hearings.
Uh now it's it's it's fascinating because Angelitas, when the microphones were off after uh Greenspan finished, there were the l there was a little audio uh from the from the former chairman.
Angelita said that Greenspan had given a lights out performance.
Uh and that's in the politico.
Greenspan defends legacy, jabs hill from you.
So Angelitas, Democrat, boy, he that he told the truth.
It's just fascinating to me.
Well, it's not fascinating, it's interesting to point out, that when they're leaving the game, when Washington and the cultured air can no longer do anything for them, tell the truth.
In the middle of the scandal, don't dare tell the truth if you want to remain a player in the game.
Uh phone calls and other exciting things right around the corner.
Don't go away.
Yeah, I'm just looking for something here.
I keep finding it, and then there it is.
SIU is starting a third party in North Carolina.
You haven't heard yes, the SEIU, the Service Employees International Union, is starting a third party, the nation's most politically influential union, has decided to start a third party to run their own candidates in the state.
It's also being done to punish moderate Democrats that voted against health care.
In a shot across the ballot, this is the kind of third party we want, you people.
We don't want the Tea Party becoming an actual third party.
We want the Democrats to do third parties.
The SEIU somehow still not happy.
The labor power house is starting a new third party in North Carolina that hopes to field its own slate of candidates, part of an effort to make the Democrat Party more reliable on issues important to labor.
In other words, they are trying to guarantee that you blue dogs are history.
The SEIU, this is probably the way a lot of people are going to use health care.
They'll form a third party for one election, they'll disband the party.
Well, they'll keep it going in case they need it, but it's not going to be an active all-the-time third party.
They're just trying to get rid of the blue dogs.
Get rid of the moderates, get rid of those 30 or some odd that voted against the health care bill.
They want purity.
This is fast fantastic.
I love it.
And in addition to that, there's other SEIUs, SEIU news from the Washington Post, one of the nation's biggest labor unions, a major backer of the regime, is condemning the regime's Department of Homeland Security's immigration enforcement practices, protesting the use of deportation quotas for agents and expanded workplace audits.
Thursday in Oakland and Sacramento and then in Los Angeles.
San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, New York City, and Minneapolis will have these vigils on Friday.
All of those places, by the way, are places that have been ruined, in some places, cases greatly harmed by unions.
There's been a failure with this strategy.
A lot of anger within our union.
We look at it, we see the everyday impact of these immigration policies.
It's a complete opposite of what they said they were going to do, said somebody named Medina, spokesman for the union.
So they're not happy out there with the regime.
Well, it's a purity that they want.
I think if the regime, all they have to do is tell them, and I mean I can't believe it Obama has not told Henry Stern this.
Look, you're gonna get amnesty.
Believe me, you're gonna get amnesty.
But it's we're we're not gonna be able to ram this through before November.
And Stern's probably saying, well, you're not gonna have any majorities after November to get anything passed.
And uh I but they're gonna cap and trade.
That's still wait till you hear some of the regulations in cap and trade.
There's a piece at the American Thinker.com today that goes on and on about the purpose of cap and trade to reduce all the CO2 that we're putting in the atmosphere, and if we got a goal here to reduce it, and the way to reduce it, of course, is to uh regulate the amount of uh carbon dioxide that uh any any any device produces.
And one of the things there's gonna be hundreds of regulations requiring brand new appliances from heaters to water heaters to refrigerators to microwave ovens, televisions, you name it, over 130 of them.
But there's a reason for this.
And this is what's onerous.
And these are Department of Energy regulations.
This is not legislation.
This is going to be enacted uh at the uh at the cabinet level.
There's more beneath the surface.
It's another Obama landmine because, like everything else this regime has told us thus far, they're only telling us part of the story.
What's actually going to happen is that anyone who tries to sell their home is going to need to replace your perfectly good water heater, refrigerator, lots of other electrical devices in their homes with these new ones that are more energy efficient in order to legally sell your house.
You say what you what did you say, Rush?
That's what I said.
If that last sentence surprises you, you are not aware of the fact that the Obama administration is planning to force us to register our homes just as we register our cars, and just as our cars have to be inspected for emissions output, so will our homes.
An authorized agent of the Department of Energy, in order to get an inspection label for the home, will come into your home and take a look at your appliances and see what you got.
So the author of the piece here says, I suggest you all read the cap and trade bill, which was passed by the House last June, and which the regime is probably going to try to ram through the Senate shortly.
This is what's taking uh precedence over uh over amnesty right now.
This abomination of a bill requires us to bring our homes into compliance with each of the new standards for all regulated appliances in order to sell them.
And if that's not enough, it's not just about water heaters or home heaters.
Since Obama came to office, the Department of Energy has issued or codified new efficiency standards for more than 20 different products, which will save consumers between 250 and 300 billion dollars on their energy bills through 2030.
Uh, and And it goes on to say that the 14 consumer commercial products with standards prescribed in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 include dishwashers, general service incandescent lamps, residential clothes washers,
microwaves, kitchen ranges, ovens, general service fluorescent lamps, incandescent reflector lamps, commercial heating and air conditioning, water heating equipment, all these things are going to come under strict regulation and control.
Now the second to last item, small electric motors.
Watch out for that one, because almost every electrical device you use has a small electric motor inside.
When you add the value of the millions of perfectly good appliances that are going to wind up in the trash heap to the other costs of this bill, you realize just how damaging this is going to be to our country.
And now you may have it answered for you.
Why the CEO of General Electric, Jeffrey Immelt, is one of Obama's big boosters.
They are one of the biggest manufacturers of appliances.
And under these new regs, your perfectly fine appliances now you have to toss them and buy new ones.
If you want to get your home approved, you want to pass inspection, or if you want to sell.
And they're going to come in, inspect your home, and put a sticker on it.
Says you passed inspection, just like your car.
Looks like there possibly could build uh be some more stew packs out there.
From the American Spectator blog, Indiana Right to Life's Political Action Committee will no longer support Democrat candidates for office after the defection of putatively pro-life Indiana Democrats Brad Ellsworth, Joe Donnelly, and Baron Hill on the abortion fund.
Thank God.
There is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat.
At the end of the day, if there's a D by their name, they are not moderate.
They're not blue dog, lap dog, whatever they want to be called, nor are they pro-life.
They are not.
By the way, I have a friend whose relative was from Cuba.
Got out of there.
Home inspections are the order of the day from the Castro regime.
It's exactly what the Department of Energy is uh has in store for us.
Everybody in Cuber had to have their entire houses checked before they could sell the house.
Now, what surprises me about this, even if they fail, what the hell are they going to replace the appliances with?
They don't.
I mean, the guy gives out rice cookers.
Oh, you're not even allowed to sell it now.
Oh, okay.
Okay, so they just they just have to do the inspection.
Well, this is tell me snerdly, I don't even want to think about how much it would cost me to replace my air conditioning.
I don't.
I don't want to, and of course, with the you think I'm gonna pass anything when it when an Obama regime DOE guy comes into my house.
The census can't find me, but I'll bet that clown could.
So this is gonna happen to all the these these appliances are not yet made.
These appliances and the uh the the smaller carbon footprint are on the drawing board.
And it's all to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by one percent.
All this'll do is re is is is reduce CO2 by one percent, and it's not bad.
There is no it it's the global warming is not happening.
The whole thing is based on a hoax here.
I I I you know, um this is gonna cause people to sell their houses before they want to, just to beat these regulations if this happens.
I sh I just I shudder.
When well, you that's you have to take out a loan.
If you don't have the money, you have to take out a loan.
And I'm not sure, I'm I'm guessing about this, but I don't think you can put this in the sale price.
Because you have to have the house approved for sale before it can be sold.
Now you can try to recoup your expense in the sale price.
But the seller is gonna know what's going on.
The buyer is gonna know what's going on.
It's um draconian, to say the least.
This bill makes the Secretary of Energy, his name is Stephen Chu, the most powerful man in America outside of Obama.
It grants him powers never before given to any elected official, including under FDR.
This guy, Secretary of Energy, will become the second most powerful man in the regime with this kind of authority.
Here's Kathy in Kansas City, as we go back to the phones on open line Friday.
Great to have you here.
Yes, good afternoon, Rush.
I am so glad that the only way in which you are liberal is uh in your uh open mic Friday.
That's a good thing.
Thank you.
Listen, I called in because I'm an attorney and a nurse and I had a experience um day before yesterday of actual Obamacare.
I went to uh an Obama clone doctor, of course I didn't know ahead of time he was, and I can tell you that I was so horrified that I did what I have never done in my life as a patient or a nurse.
Um I ended up telling the doctor to please stop treating me, that I did not trust that he had my best interests at heart, that he had an agenda.
And I left the office and uh I notified them that I will be filing a formal complaint with the Board of Healing Heart Arts here in Kansas and Missouri.
Well now I'm curious what the hell happened.
Well, I was referred there for um bilateral carpal tunnel and um Bilateral carpal tunnel?
Sorry?
Bilateral?
Both sides.
Both sides.
Both hands, both arms, both wrists.
Like our negotiations with uh the the North Koreans.
Yes.
Anyway, my primary doctor was sure that I had it, and I'm pretty sure too, but you have to go to a neurologist to get an EMG, right?
Yeah.
So he referred me to this guy, and when I went in there, he began to talk about uh he saw that I was a lawyer, so he started asking about capital punishment and we were discussing it and um uh he shocked me by saying that he didn't even understand why there was a fuss about capital punishment.
He said, because it had been clear to him for some years that there were any number of people, not just criminals, but people who have in his words clearly demonstrated that they're not much of use or they don't conform, you know.
And he said they should just be put out of the way.
And I was somewhat shocked, um, but that was nothing compared to what he went on to tell me.
Well no, wait, well hold on.
I I wanna I'm I'm trying to maintain here the context because you first started out by saying you saw in advance Obamacare.
I saw a doctor who who loves it and that's how he practices.
And that's how he tried to practice on me.
He loves Obamacare, you're saying.
Yeah.
Oh, oh.
I missed pretty rare, you know, in the medical community.
I know.
Okay.
So you you recommend it to this guy, you go there.
How do you know he likes it?
He tell you point blank he likes Obamacare.
Oh, yeah, the minute I went in, he started to discuss stuff like this with me.
Well, but okay, but how does a discussion of Obamacare go to capital punishment?
Well I can't.
Well, I can I'll tell you what right why right exactly how it went, because I immediately burst in and said, Well, but you know, there's the dignity of of every individual human life.
I said, you know, when somebody's sentenced to death, we want to be really, really sure that they are guilty.
And I said it's it's like with you know, not I didn't know he wasn't for Obama ca he was for Obamacare, so I said it's like with with abortion with individual babies, um or with uh, you know, older people.
He broke in and he told me, that's where he said the thing about capital punishment and how w we shouldn't even really bother too much about it.
There shouldn't even be such a long appeal process because not only criminals, he said, but people who are useless in society said it's really clear to me for some time that they should just be, quote, put out of the way.
He then went on to tell me how and so I brought up the memographies, not after uh none until you're starting until you're fifty years of age.
At which point he told me, Well, it's true that a lot of young women would probably die or have breast cancer and it would go undiagnosed.
He said, But you know what?
I'm originally from Canada.
So I really like that model because I under we really can't give such great care as we give.
We have really too many MRIs floating all over the place.
Too many all this kind of stuff.
I said to him, look, I understand, I said, I'm a lawyer for tort reform.
I don't want doctors uh practicing defensive medicine.
He said, Oh, but it that's not enough.
He said, We have to have we just have to realize that people cannot get this great care they think they're entitled to.
And this guy's for Obamacare because that is going to be the result.
Well, I don't know why he's for it.
I he kept saying that he was from Canada and how great Canada was.
I asked him, I said, Well, how come you're practicing here?
No answer.
Well, what he's talking about how great Canada is and then goes on to cite how, yeah, we don't waste care on people who don't need it, we don't give mammograms.
I mean people aren't titled all the covers they want, they just think they're gonna get it for nothing, but they're not he's praising that's exactly what happens in Canada.
Exact he was perfectly clear and he was he was totally cool with that.
I can't tell you what it feels like to be flat on your back, you know, they've got these different needles in you when you're getting an EMG and you're kinda uh a captive audience, and I started to realize with such horror that that was how he was treating me.
And he was true to his word.
Because when I had come in he said, Oh, I'm reading, you know, the thing from your doctor, I'm sure that you know you need this to have the surgery both sides.
He said, But um at the end he became very angry with me because I had you know, uh shot his his arguments all to pieces.
I told him about Zeke Manuel saying how the problem with our care system is that doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously.
He was cool with that.
He was cool with that.
He was cool with Zeke Manuel saying when a doctor takes care of a patient, they shouldn't be going, you know, all out to take care of that individual patient.
They should be thinking to themselves, hmm, how could this money be better spent?
Perhaps my community needs an art museum.
Was this guy's name by any chance Joseph Mengele?
No.
But I bet he's read all his stuff.
And anyhow, I just stop treating me, doctor.
I don't want to be treated by you.
I have never had a conversation like that with a doctor.
In my life I never have either, sir, nor did I ever think I would.
Well, this guy started it though, right?
I mean you walked in there just to get examined.
Well then wouldn't it wouldn't matter anyhow.
It totally he did, but it wouldn't make any difference anyhow.
Then he got mad at me, he pont and to punish me, when we finished, he told me, Well, yeah, you do have carpal tunnel syndrome.
He said, But you know what?
I just don't have the numbers here which I need.
I said, What are you talking about the numbers?
I mean I'm a nurse besides a lawyer, so I I he says, Well, um uh all your your primary care doctor told you all wrong, you know, he said, uh the surgery doesn't have a very good success rate.
And anyway, you wouldn't I don't I don't like people to be a candidate till the numbers are higher, till they have it really, really, really severely.
He said, and then there's only a sixty percent chance.
And I said, But it that's the reason that you do it before it gets to be so severe that you can't even use your arms for your guy's already practice you you nailed it at the very beginning of your call.
You have seen Obamacare and you were treated by an Obamacare doctor.
It this guy is practicing Obamacare.
That is correct.
And that's what is in store for every single one of us.
And you hightailed it out of there without paying the guy.
Yeah, that is correct, and I called them back when I could recover my composure and I said, I do not trust one thing he did for me.
Do not bill me, do not bill my uh insurer, and I am preferring a formal claim claim against this man.
He belongs nowhere near healing people.
And you figure this.
I'm a l nurse, I'm an attorney, I'm a grown woman.
I had the ability to challenge these things with a certain level of knowledge.
And I wasn't in h terrible pain or suffering from something which was uh potentially catastrophic.
No.
Now you imagine all these people who are gonna this is this is what we will have.
And you're gonna go in, and when you're sick and when you're in pain and when you're afraid, you are extremely vulnerable, and people are going to die and die and die.
Yeah, the only difference is is that the doctors under Obamacare will be calling some bureaucrat somewhere at some health panel uh for instructions on procedure, and it'll be the bureaucrat which will dictate to the doctor this kind of behavior.
Your doctor just happens to come by it naturally.
Apparently.
It was it was telling one of the most horrifying examples of the case.
I can imagine.
Can you imagine these people that are walking into doctors' offices now saying, Where's my free health care?
Can you imagine when they walk in and they've got say what you've got tar a carpal tunnel, bilateral, and the doctor says, eh, not bad enough to do anything about yet.
But I can't work.
I can't the chart says it's not bad enough.
You don't have it bad enough for us to do anything about it.
Get out of here.
Well, you know what, Rush, but before this happened, I had the horrible job of reading the previous health care bills because uh a couple of organizations asked me to so I could, as a lawyer and a nurse present, you know, to them what the uh likely outcomes would be.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's it's it's beyond horror.
One of the things that nobody knows about is that um guess what the protocols are for tr treating cancer?
Guess what?
You don't get to have surgical intervention until the cancer is invasive.
And of course, once cancer's invasive, Rush, you're pretty much dead.
Yeah.
Well, let me ask you a question.
Did this doctor I have to go real quick here because I'm way longer.
This doctor give you any pain medication?
Did he say take a pain pill?
No, I I'm not in pain.
Oh.
Oh.
Well, because Obama said maybe we could get people like you a pain pill.
That's I was just wondering if this doctor had that part down pat too.
Thank you, Kathy.
We'll be uh right back.
Okay, we're back.
Uh Rush Limbaugh open line Friday, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Snerdley, you'll love this.
I just got an email from a uh member of the government run media who says I heard you bashed Romney care today.
Where can I get a transcript?
Uh this is so the template here is L. Rushball, leader of the Republicans, bashes Massachusetts health care plan.
I did not mention Romney's name.
Uh I did mention Romney's name once, I'm reminded.
Okay.
But mainly it was Daval Patrick and what he's done, uh the insurance commission and so forth, but they want to take the occasion here to bash Romney and and try to take him out uh based on this.
So they're gonna in order to do this, there because Obama himself has been pointing everybody to Massachusetts, that's what you should look at.
That's our role model.
That's what this is.
Well, that's what we're doing.
We're taking a look at Massachusetts.
So if you want to try to indict Romney with this, go ahead, but at the same time, you can the Democrats that are running this show.
Now, uh, ladies and gentlemen, I got this note from uh friend of mine, dovetails with the uh last caller.
So I had to go to the dentist this morning, it was unpleasant, the Novicane didn't work, I was in pain in a bad mood.
When I got done, the receptionist demanded six hundred dollars.
Usually they submit it to the insurance and bill me for whatever isn't covered.
Today they were insisting on a credit card immediately, which rubbed me the wrong way, so I refused.
I said, I thought Obama was gonna pay for all this.
Get your money from him, and I stormed out of the office.
It felt really good, but I'll probably have to find a new dentist.
Now, let's go back to this Department of Energy thing very quickly.
This house sale requirement, all these new appliances.
It's a it's another great example.
Everything Obama does is designed to do the opposite of what's needed.
We need to make health care more affordable, what's gonna happen to it?
We need to build a housing market back up.
What are we gonna do to it?
And Snerdley, you asked me, oh my gosh, do you know what it costs to replace an air conditioner?
It's this is not about cost.
In the end.
That's not really about cost.
The goal here is a continued transformation, making America poorer, Reversing industrial production, except for GE, uh leaving more resources for the rest of the world.
And since the private sector is what grows the economy and makes life easier, this regime needs to impose its will to reverse the course of the nation.
Because remember, America must be cut down to size.
We've been immoral and unfair.
Basically, America's a crime in Obama's view.
And so we're in for it, folks.
Yeah, it's about costs, but it's also about making you and everybody else poorer and making the private sector smaller, enhancing government control over virtually as much as they can get.
By the way, I I left out something very salient uh in the new Department of Energy uh register your house, approve your appliance, and so forth.
The poor, and how we define the poor is uh they get increasingly richer, the poor are exempted.
