Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying for a host of reasons.
Chief among them is I'm good, and it's a good show, and we are in relentless pursuit of the truth.
Nothing stops us here.
Happy to have you along, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address El Rushbo at EIBNet.com, the DA down in Georgia has declined to prosecute Steelers quarterback Ben Rothlassberger, saying there's not enough evidence out there to uh get guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
So Rothlsberger off the hook.
The Steelers traded Santonio Holmes at 1115 last night to the uh to the New York Jets for a fifth round draft.
I mean, that's they gave away the Super Bowl MVP two years ago.
He's in the last year of his contract, but his guy is doing weird things.
He's in he's he himself's in a legal mess, claiming woman claims he threw a glass at her in a bar.
He's been tweeting really weird stuff on his Twitter account, such as I can't wake to get up in the morning on a wake and bake.
Uh that means he's gonna smoke some dope.
Uh some really strange things.
So they said we want to mess with him.
They're sending a message, I think a message at Rothisberger, too, uh, by saying you get two strikes shape up where the Steelers and we don't put up with uh with this kind of stuff.
Now expect the sports writer community to not be happy with this at all.
The uh sports writer community will how can the DA decide it?
DA doesn't decide guilt or innocent, it's a jury that decides that, or grand jury, what the hell?
So they're gonna say did the Steelers apply pressure that something you watch.
It won't be universal throughout the drive-by's, but there will be certain sports writers who will uh suggest maybe that there was undue influence placed upon the uh DA down there, Fred Bright, by powerful forces seeking to keep Rothlassburger, the 100 million dollar quarterback of the Steelers, in the lineup.
All right, for Fort Lauderdale, a woman battling a cancer battle was dealt a surprise blow by Uncle Sam this month.
Diana Smith has gone through six months of radiation and chemotherapy one week out of every month.
She is in remission.
She had a donor for a transplant.
Being in remission is a prerequisite for the transplant.
But her hopes of receiving the transplant were dashed in March when she says the Social Security Administration contacted her without her soliciting it, and told her that her three-year-old son was entitled to receive Social Security disability payments.
Even though she didn't ask for it, she signed the form and received her son's first check.
In April, Medicaid canceled her universal health care policy because her income level had risen with her son's payments, making her ineligible for the insurance program.
My friends, the largest insurance company in the United States, the United States government, and its CEO Obama tricked a woman.
They tricked a woman into out of getting her medical coverage.
Since when does the Social Security Administration start soliciting?
We know the food stamp crowd does.
But now the Social Security Administration called her up.
Hey, you want to get your kid on uh disability payments?
And of course, she said, yeah.
And that income vaulted her above her eligibility level.
The problem is that Jackson Memorial Hospital cannot provide the procedure because the risk is too high.
The universal policy from Medicaid helps shield the hospital from liability.
In this kind of case, without it, they are subject to liability issues.
Even though Smith offered to cancel her son's disability benefits, she was told it's too late.
She's got this six months worth of radiation of chemo, her body can't take any more.
If they don't allow her to have this transplant coming up right now next week, they're in effect signing her death warrant, said her friend Tom Noonan.
Can anybody say death panel?
Now here's your all-caring, all-loving federal government, the Obama regime, claiming that this only happens in the private sector.
Only the evil private sector insurance companies do this to people.
And now the regime tricks an unsuspecting citizen into accepting disability payments for her son, which launches her income above the eligibility level.
And universal care has been dropped.
She can't do any more radiation chemo.
Because it would wipe her out.
The only thing now is a transplant.
She is in remission.
That has been denied.
So they tricked her.
Your coverage will not change.
Keep your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Coverage won't change.
The only thing missing from this story is an official letter from the White House saying, just take a pain pill.
That's all that's missing.
This is an important story.
Look at the picture of this woman here.
She's very young with her little little son next to her, and she's bald because of the radiation treatments.
And I'm just, I'm just struck by this because this is the exact kind of thing that the regime used to accuse the private sector of doing to try to convince as many people as possible to support the government running everybody's health care.
Yeah, let's just see if this woman's son becomes an Obama sob story.
Let's say, in his, because he's still out there selling this, folks.
He's still out there selling his health care plan.
Will he grab this woman's son, Diana Smith's son, and will he parade him all over the country on these sales pitches at various town meetings and say, look what the federal government did to this man, this young child.
No, he won't.
Of course, Obama will not exploit this family for his own personal political gain.
This is a woman, according to a friend, who has been sentenced to death by the regime.
Now, I imagine with all the attention this story is going to get, that there will be somebody come in and a white knight save the day and suggest, oh, there was a mistake happened.
I'm sorry.
Oh, we're gonna make this right.
And so we'll see now that since this story has received a lot of attention, especially now, we'll just see if an exception isn't made here, or some step is taken.
If that happens, don't forget what caused it.
And that is existing federal rules.
You don't qualify for all this help if your income level is at a certain level, and this I bet it's not that high.
This woman doesn't cannot possibly have a whole lot of money.
So despite all the promises and all the talk about how everybody's gonna get the coverage that we tried to warn you before the vote, that there are more denials of claims, more declines of insurance from Medicare and Medicaid expressed as a percentage, than anywhere in the private sector.
The regime's stories, with all these kids, these sob stories, they're largely made up.
Now, big insurance, if this happened, if a if a big insurance company, if the news had gotten out a big insurance company did this, well, they they'd admit they made a mistake.
They'd do something because the PR would require them to.
But the government does not have to admit that it made a mistake, because it has no competitors.
Medicaid and Medicare are it for the poor and for the elderly.
So it'll be up to the magnanimity of the regime and whatever PR value they they they think might accrue to them if uh if they reverse course on this.
And that's I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.
Not to you know, be compassionate to the mother, and not to be compassionate to the child, but to limit the PR hit.
Brief time out, back with much more after this.
This story involving the woman out of Fort Lauderdor Fort Lauderdale is uh far more dramatic and far more painful than any of the sad stories Obama misrepresented or even made up in his uh town hall tour to uh to sell health care.
By the way, you know, we had the story earlier, the Bureau of National Bureau of Economic Research, New York Times big story today, the board there cannot figure out if the recession's over.
They're really struggling out there.
Uh normally it's easy to determine when the recession's over, but they're having all kinds of trouble.
Now, originally I thought one of the things might be, well, let's just uh strategically decide when we're going to declare the recession over, such as uh September, October, right before the 2012 elections, but something else occurs.
If the National Bureau, the National Bureau of Economic Research decides that we're no longer in a recession, how in the world can Obama continue to spend money and offer and suggest even more slush funds or jobs bills.
If the re if somebody comes out and says the recession's over, then that means we're growing.
That means we got jobs being created, and the private sector's growing.
And it would kind of undercut Obama's efforts to create a permanent underclass by more and more spending, extension of unemployment benefits, and uh and what have you.
I mean, how can they possibly justify extending unemployment two or three more months if the recession's over?
And if the economy's coming back.
I'm sorry, I'm a little slow today, folks.
Sometimes it takes me a while to get there, but as you know, uh, I always do.
Audio soundbite time.
Speaking of November, and when the recession will be proclaimed over.
This morning on MSNBC's Scarborough show, David Axelrod was the guest.
Scarborough said to Axenrod, you do understand that uh health care and the stimulus and the bailout and all these battles have caused some serious problems for Democrats in the House that have won seats, the McCain and Bush also took.
You want to you do understand the past year has had a negative impact on their political chances.
Here's what every Democrat who's running in support of the president ought to be thinking.
They ought to be thinking here's a president, and we supported him, who stood up in a very difficult time, made some tough decisions, has a vision not just for how to solve the problem in the short term, but is doing things to strengthen the economy for the long run.
And on the other side, you have a Republican Party that has essentially said we're gonna sit on the sidelines and root for failure.
And that's our political strategy.
Yeah, we are sitting on the sidelines because we don't have the votes to stop you, Mr. Axelrod, and we are rooting for your failure and Obama's failure, which means the country's success.
But so here's what they're gonna run against me.
Because I'm the only Republican who said I hope he fails.
Other Republicans have come along and said he is failing.
But I'm the only one, and I was alone for almost a year.
So what Axelrod is saying is to all these Democrats, if you know what's good for you, run against Limbaugh.
Limbaugh wants a country to go down the tubes.
Limbaugh wants Obama to fail, that means the country to fail.
And everybody knows now, everybody knows now exactly what I meant.
This is Obama succeeding.
Obama is succeeding, and by virtue of that, the country is imperiled.
So Scarborough said, well, the Republicans had 80 amendments, they had alternative health care bills.
Uh Paul Ryan's come on this show, had very specific issues, very specific viewpoints, much different than the president, but those were not allowed to be debated on the House floor.
The plan the president signed, Joe, included hundreds of different elements that were proposed by Republicans in the Senate, in the House.
Most people who look at that plan would say it reflects more of what Richard Nixon proposed and what John Chafee proposed to Republicans in the past than some radical plan.
What I recall is a parade of Republicans standing up and calling it socialism, calling it the end of freedom as we know it.
That harsh rhetoric was not healthy for the country and not healthy for the Republican Party.
Why can he say it's not healthy for the Republican Party?
Mr. Axarod, you're facing a bloodbath in November.
It is socialistic.
It may be even worse than that.
It may be fascistic before we all finished here, but you know, hundreds of ideas, hundreds of Republican elements proposed by Republicans in the Senate in the House are in the health care.
Name one.
Oh, there is one.
An exclusive Republican idea.
And that is eliminate fraud and abuse.
Obama said that was a great idea that somebody had on the Republican side.
I forget who it was.
Might have been Corbyn.
Eliminate fraud and abuse.
So we were left to assume that if Republicans had not suggested it that fraud and abuse would still be in the health care, which of course it still is.
A real reporter might have asked Axelrod, would you tell me exactly what Obama's done to approve the economy for the long term?
Would you tell me, Mr. Axelrod, exactly how the economy's improved in the long term with all of these tax increases and all of the impositions coming on people with your health care as it's implemented?
Would somebody tell me where you have strengthened the U.S. economy in the long term?
You know, these guys run around, they say all these things, and the state controlled media just mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
I never questioned him.
What do you mean strengthen the economy long term?
Hundreds of Republican ideas?
Name three.
I can name one, Mr. Axelrod.
Name three hundreds of ideas.
Uh it's absurd.
John in Crofton, Maryland, welcome.
You're back on the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush, you're the best.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I uh I was supporting you indirectly Saturday.
I went down to the Regency Hyatt in Washington, DC on Capitol Hill at three o'clock, and uh WMAL had the Grandy and Andy uh guys and uh Chris Plant, and we had a regular town meeting, I think they called it uh free speech forum.
And uh I guess you were in town at that time.
If if you had dropped in, I think uh uh they would uh still be uh trying to repair the place.
You would have brought the house out.
I I uh I I I have to plead ignorance.
I did not know this was going on.
Oh, yeah, we had a nice crowd.
My b how big.
And they had two microphones set up uh uh on each aisle, and we got to ask questions of the uh uh four or five uh participants uh uh uh they were all WMAL uh uh uh guys that well yeah, there's a lot of experts of WMAL.
Oh yeah, Chris Plant is doing a hell of a job.
And uh passed out uh publications.
It was great.
But anyway, the reason I called is because at the uh top of the show you were talking about uh this uh uh arms limitation nuclear conference in Washington.
Of course, the place has been tied up since yesterday.
Luckily they had this thing I went to on Saturday, but uh the town is gonna be tied up until Wednesday with this uh stupid thing going on.
But uh they're trying to compare him to Reagan to kind of give uh some cachet to the stupidity of this decision on his part.
I saw uh Hillary Clinton and uh uh Secretary of Defense Gates trying to defend it, and when Gates got back to a into a corner, he was said he said, Well, you know, uh all the m chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, uh, you know, they all agree with this.
Uh that's what they do every time there's you know something uh that they can't support.
You just play the thing from David Axelrod about you know Nixon and Chaffee supporting something, they had to go with a Republican to say that, you know, it's okay to give it uh some support.
But the economy is also being devastated by this guy, and I know you can't say it enough.
Uh I'm worried because I looked at the value of uh uh of gold a year ago and it was around eight hundred dollars, and now it's uh eleven, twelve hundred dollars sometimes.
I know it had gotten up to twelve hundred dollars.
Well, I don't know how much is left.
Gordon Olivia's bought it all up, from what I understand.
Yeah, go line.
And he he starts throwing the coins in his hands like the the K mutiny with the uh you know the the brass balls that uh uh what's his name?
Uh uh uh I can't think of uh his name now.
Humphrey Bogart.
Yeah, there it is.
But uh I I just see the same thing that this guy is doing this on purpose.
You said that uh he's doing everything the opposite way.
Uh uh David Axelrod is no economist, but I saw Robert Samuelson uh on uh being interviewed uh last week.
He said until the net increase in employment every month is at least four hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, and it has to go out, you know, for like around two years to get us back to where we were, you're not the recession's not going to be over.
Right.
And the administration, the regime is saying that isn't gonna happen.
The re regime is saying that the unemployment rate's not going to change significantly all the way through next year through uh through twenty eleven.
I mean, they're getting everybody ready here for a what appears to be now a permanent uh unemployment rate of ten percent.
That's the new uh that's the new normal.
Now, the GDP, the gross domestic product has to be more than five percent to even grow any job.
That means the quarter, every quarter economic growth has to be at least five percent before you create a single job in the in a sustained way.
This also, this business of uh of uh trying to give Obama cachet by attaching himself to Reagan, or they are attaching Obama to Reagan.
Oh, yeah, this is like Reagan and uh Reagan and Obama both want the same thing, reduction in nuclear weapons.
Yeah, but Reagan went about it a totally different way.
Reagan went about it by building missile defenses and uh investing in conventional arms buildups.
Obama's tearing it all down.
He's tearing down missile defense systems, those that are repled to the polls and the checks, and he's not doing anything to modernize any of our conventional weapons forces.
He's nowhere near a Reagan in any way.
Well, you know, Obama might have might be a better actor than Reagan was.
I mean, that would be the only comparison that I think would be uh would be valid.
Welcome back.
It's L. Rushbow here at the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Look at this, nearly half 50% of U.S. newspaper and broadcast TV news executives believe that their organizations will fold within ten years unless they find new revenue streams.
This, according to a new survey released today.
Could we make it next year?
And not ten.
Forty-six percent of the execs surveyed by the Pew Research Center's project for excellence in journalism.
I wonder if they ever found any.
Said that they could remain solvent for more than ten years.
Forty-six percent said they could.
The others couldn't.
Seventeen percent said they could go out of business within a decade without significant new funds, revenue streams, or partnerships, while 24% put their lifespan at three to five years.
Guess what's coming?
News organizations will be restructured as nonprofits, and we will be able to donate to them and contribute to them for as long as we're able to deduct charitable contributions, or they will be bailed out.
I mean, this is state-controlled media we're talking about after all.
They would never think of changing their content.
They need new revenue streams.
They don't need new revenue streams, they need existing revenue streams to rebuild.
I. You
watch the evening news, doesn't matter, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, throw them in there.
I mean, if you miss CBS, watch NBC.
Miss NBC, watch ABC.
Miss ABC, watch CNN.
If you miss all that, pick up the New York Times.
I mean, it's all the same.
If you miss the New York Times, get USA Today.
If you miss that, get the LA Times.
Miss that gets Chicago Tribune.
If you miss that, get the Atlanta Urinal Constipation.
I mean, they're all the same.
I'll give you an illustration.
Last week on this program, we highlighted a Wall Street Journal column or editorial, which illustrates the utter failure of the health care plan in Massachusetts that Obama has been pointing to as a model for what he has in mind for the national federal government health care system.
We went through it.
We explained what was in this editorial.
They have frozen, the insurance commissioner has frozen insurance rates.
Insurance companies are nonprofit.
They are not allowed to increase their rates to stay in business.
The state governor, Deval Patrick, you're going to not only stay in business, you're going to lower your rates to last year.
You're going to lose money.
This is all for my reelection campaign.
What was without fail the universal reaction in the state-run media?
The well, a variation of that, the universal reaction to that editorial in the Wall Street Journal was that A, Romney care is an absolute failure in Massachusetts.
The word Obama never enters the story, even despite the fact that Obama has pointed to it and members of administration have pointed to the Massachusetts plan as what they have in mind.
Now, the Wall Street Journal piece was oriented toward it's a debacle.
This is what's in store for us.
They were the only ones in their editorial.
Doesn't matter.
You watch CBS, NBC, CBS, I don't care who it is.
If they reported on it, it was all from the same narrative.
And that is, is this gonna kill Romney's chances to get the Republican nomination?
No reflection whatsoever on Obama.
Now, if you people in the state controlled media want to revive your revenue streams, you might try to look at all of your other competitors as genuine competitors and not brothers in arms, and try to come up with some content that's a little different from your competitors.
How far would I have gotten if everything I did was modeled after what Larry King did?
Or Bruce Williams did, or Sally Jesse Raphael when I started.
I'd be complaining about no revenue too.
Just like they are and were.
It's silly.
And why do you care about new revenue streams?
I am convinced when I read Newsweek.
Does anybody read Newsweek anymore?
We're all socialists now is a cover story.
The Pope, of course, is rotten.
I think Newsweek is writing for the reporters at time.
The reporters at Time are writing for the reporters at MSNBC.
Their audience is themselves.
Their audience is not even the consumers of news.
The audience is the professors at Harvard and Yale, the students at Harvard and Yale.
Anybody that's in the elite Washington salons, they're writing for each other.
And yet they sit around here and they worry about needing new revenue streams, and they don't for one minute examine the content of what they're doing, and it's understandable why.
They're on a mission.
They're all agenda-oriented toward advancing the left's agenda to one degree or another, or standing by Obama.
The world will be destroyed by global warming.
Every damned media outlet, everywhere you went worldwide, the world will be destroyed by global warming.
Not one variation, not one alternative point of view from any so-called mainstream media outlet.
And global warming is just one instance.
But I mean, it's a crime river of tears here.
You got a revenue stream here.
You may go out of business in ten years.
Any CEO who publicly admits, you know, without new funding and without new revenue streams, this company is going to be dead in the board of directors says you like working here because if you do, you're finished.
You don't go out there and say we're dead in ten years.
Who the hell's going to invest in this company?
It's your job to get the new revenue streams.
You're going to whining on television and the media.
I can't get new revenue streams, we're going to go out of business in ten years.
And you people that said you're going to go to business in two to Three years without new revenue streams.
You let any public sector CEO say anything like that and he is gone.
Because it's his job to make sure the company not only doesn't go out of business, that it thrives and prospers so that it can become a target of the regime.
All right.
Who's next on this show?
Richard in San Antonio, Texas.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Yeah, hi, Rush, William F. Buckley Diddle's.
I read a speech over the weekend by Ronald Reagan.
He called the Soviet Union an evil empire.
This president is calling America the evil empire in essence.
And by his behavior, and by the Russians shooting down or possibly shooting down that airliner over the weekend last week.
And I think this was in memory of the Catan uh elimination of all those Polish officers in World War II.
And I hope Americans think about that and think about this president who wait a minute.
I haven't heard the plane got shot down.
Well, this is this is theory, and I think it's only theory, but I wouldn't put it past the Russians because they did it with a KAL 007 shooting down that Korean jet going to Korea from JFK Airport.
Yeah, that uh it's ventured over their airspace in the uh Chitka peninsula.
Yeah.
And I I think that Mr. Obama, President Obama, is now in essence calling us the evil empire.
Why?
Because he thinks we're the problem in the world?
Because he's we're the problem in the world.
He's apologized for the last fourteen months, and he wants to, in essence, uh de eliminate every single nuclear weapon that we have.
They're they disintegrated five percent annually anyway.
An old Air Force person knows that, who works in nuclear weapons that I know.
And our nuclear essence is being in essence uh verbally destroyed by this man, and ultimately, if the military lets it happen, it will happen over the long term, and hopefully we can get him out of office by then.
Well, we'll see.
Time uh time will tell.
Uh as to that plane being shot down, no evidence plane was shot down.
It is a really strange coincidence that a country Vladimir Putin despises because it's no longer part of the Soviet bloc, has a plane go down that has virtually every important leader in Poland, from the president, his wife, the head of the military, the uh clandestine secret service, the uh head uh 96 of them perished.
And now they're blaming the pilot for not responding properly to air traffic control who urged him not to land the fogs too thick, and they're saying that the uh the president of Poland, Mr. Kaczynski suspected a plot because he was told the plane was ordered to divert to Moscow.
He didn't want to divert to Moscow.
He wanted to go where they were going because he wanted to commemorate the slaughter of Polish soldiers forty years ago, whatever it was, 70 years ago in the Katin Forest.
Well, you you can you can depending on your avionic snerdly, you can land in the fog.
This is a twenty-five-year-old Russian Tupovov.
And I don't know what upgrade.
Obviously it couldn't land in the fog.
Obviously it could not, it didn't.
Uh I don't know what the minimums are for this airport.
I don't know what the minimums are for that particular aircraft, but apparently it couldn't.
Uh story we're getting is the pilot made four attempts to land, dumping fuel each time.
People think that might have indicated a uh a uh a mechanical problem.
Uh but Pravda is blaming the Polish president.
Because they say a pilot cannot refuse an air traffic control order that the pr Polish president had to be told Mr. President the Tower is telling us we gotta we gotta divert to Moscow or Minsk.
And they're saying that Kaczynski didn't want to do that because he thought it was a Russian trick to keep him from landing, so he forced the pilot to land, therefore they're uh they're blaming him.
Anyway, thanks for the call.
Quick time out.
We'll be back and continue right after this.
Don't Rush Limbaugh back with have my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
A little public service announcement here, folks, a lot of you are buying iPads.
And one of the things I'm reading about the iPad is that people who've never had a computer before are buying the iPad.
Because the iPad makes computing simple.
It's uh it's not so much a production device, although you can use it to produce, but it's it's it's more a uh uh a resource device, a consumption device, consume news, emails, so forth and so on.
But if you are one of these people that's buying an iPad, and you have limited experience with a computer.
I'm reminded of a friend of mine who bought her first iPhone and had no clue about backing it up, didn't even know the thing existed, did not ever connect it to iTunes.
She was taking all kinds of pictures with it.
She lost all of them when the phone froze.
They tried to recover the data at the Apple store and they couldn't.
She lost it all, but she did not understand the the concept of backing up.
Now, you cannot back up your iPad directly at Carbonite.
You have to use iTunes either on your Mac or your PC.
And every time you connect it to sync it, load new data on it, it will automatically back up.
But then what happens if your computer hard drive frozen and crashes?
Then you don't have a backup.
It's not enough just to back it up to iTunes.
You've got to have iTunes backed up.
iTunes is on your hard drive, and that's where Carbonite comes in.
Carbonite.com is off site, online backup, and it backs up every time you're connected to the internet.
It does it in the background.
You never know it's happening until the moment your hard drive freezes.
And then you're out of luck if you don't have a backup.
And it's not pleasant, not funny either.
But if you do have it backed up with carbonite, then you've got a smug smile of satisfaction.
You simply fix the hard drive, get a new computer, restore the files, and bamboo, you're ready to go.
Carbonite.com, online backup, fifty-five bucks a year on your Mac or PC, 15-day free trial, genuine, legitimate 15-day free trial, and with the offer code Rush, you will get two months free if you decide to buy.
You can't afford not to have this.
A carbonite offline backup is far cheaper than what it would cost you to replace anything you might lose.
Carbonite.com, offer code rush.
Bob in Sacramento from KFPK, our blowtorch affiliate out there.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, thank you.
For 20 years, I've been working in the Medical, Medicare, Veterans Benefit field, and the story you were telling earlier is not an isolated event.
That happens, has happened hundreds of times in my career.
Exactly like you mean the government will call solicit social security, in this case, social security supplemental payment, putting the patient above the eligibility line and losing her coverage from the government.
Because they're different programs, people have no idea that one impacts the other.
So they think that they're going to go out, and in this case, she thinks she's helping her son, and in helping her son, she finds out that she loses Medical.
We've had people denied organ transplants.
We've had people die while waiting for for medical care.
Right now, the VA takes a year to get people medical care in some cases.
This is not new.
I've been telling people for years that in effect, and I know it's not technically correct, but that death panels already exist because we have government bureaucrats somewhere sitting in an office who are making health care decisions and life and death decisions for people, and they don't know anything about what's going on.
Well, what's really do you think it's possible?
I got 45 seconds.
Is it possible this woman was genuinely tricked?
That Social Security called her up to get her to take the supplemental benefits precisely to disqualify her from uh Medicaid payment for her organ transplant.
I I I can't say that for a certainty because I wasn't there, but let me tell you, I've seen nefarious activities happen all the time in which workers don't tell people about if you do this, it will impact this.
We see that all the time.
Well, we see it with IRAs, we see it with pension plans, we see it with with with homes, we see it with all kinds of stuff where people are given incorrect or very misleading information.
Bob, thanks very much.
That's excellent.
Uh the largest insurance company in the country, owned and operated by the regime.
And this apparently is very common, which a lot of people tried to inform everybody of, and it wouldn't have made any difference.
The Democrats in the House simply didn't care about any of these kind of details.
Back after this.
You know, this is puzzling even for Obama, Josh Rogan.
At the Weekly Standard, President Obama said yesterday, the United States is still working on democracy, and a top aide said Obama has taken historic steps to improve democracy in the United States during his time in office.
