Time Text
The views Express better host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying because we are engaged in a relentless and unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
And we nail it, we hit it often.
Almost always.
Which reminds me.
Opinion on it now almost always right, 99.6% of the time.
Phone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882.
The email address, Lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
Do you remember the moveon.org ad against General Petraeus before his appearance before joint committees in the House and the Senate.
About the surge in Iraq.
The moveon.org ad referred to him as Senator B. Treyus.
Was that ad not sedition?
The way Joe Klein defines it, which you'll hear in a moment, he says he looked it up.
Sedition is conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state.
Well about Clinton in 2006 going over to pay homage to the Mausoleum of Hochi men.
Remember that.
September 2007, Bill Clinton condemns Republicans over the phony outrage over the moveon.org ad about General Betrayus.
He also mentions Republican attack ads smearing the military service of Max Cleland and John Kerry.
Speaking of who?
John Kerry, you'll remember, served in Vietnam, and let's not forget all the protests he engaged in.
And false accusations against military members in Vietnam when he got home.
But of course, when those guys do it, that's dissent to new patriotism.
Tea Party.
A bunch of rabble rousers responsible for all kinds of hell that hasn't happened.
But if and when it does, we've set the table to blame them.
So on Chris Matthews' Sunday morning syndicated show, the Chris Matthews Show, during a discussion about the Tea Party members.
Time magazine columnist Joe Klein said this about conservative media.
I did a little bit of research just before the show.
It's on this little napkin here.
I looked up the definition of sedition, which is conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state.
And a lot of these statements, especially the ones coming from people like Glenn Beck and to a certain extent, Sarah Palin, were right up close to being seditious.
John Hilman, New York magazine columnist and author, at that point jumped into the fray.
Joe's right, and I'll name another person, you know, name Rush Limbaugh, you know, who uses this phrase constantly talks about the Obama administration as a regime.
That phrase, which has connotations of tyranny.
You think back to 1994.
There was Ruby Ridge, there was Waco, there were triggering incidents.
There's been nothing like that.
The only thing that's changed in the last 15 months is the election of Barack Obama.
Yeah, and Joe Klein says, Well, what does that mean?
There are two things going on here.
Not just that he is African American, but that his name is Barack Hussein Obama.
The other thing is that we've had a very scary economic crisis.
And when people get scared, they get defensive and they get a little crazy.
Okay, so did you hear what Heilman said?
Heileman said, well, I don't have any triggering incidents here.
There's nothing to explain why the Tea Party people are so angry, except they're not that kind of angry, Mr. Heileman.
They're just a little ticked off that country has been stolen, the economy's been destroyed for two or three, four generations.
They're overtaxed.
The country is not what it was.
But he even goes on to say there wasn't any triggering incident like Waco.
Mr. Heilman inadvertently stepping it there, calling Waco a triggering incident for McVeigh.
Well, who was Waco?
Uh, you have to go ask Jan Areno, the attorney general about that.
I had no idea we're going to launch those tanks in there.
Uh, you you gotta go ask her.
Don't bother me.
Where's Monica?
No, what he's saying, Heileman says not racism.
It's because Obama's black, because his name's Obama.
That's why the Tea Party's engaged in doing what they're doing.
So Byron York Sprung into action, even before we did here at the EIB network.
The last time this charge of uh anti-Americanism was leveled at me because of using the term regime to describe the Obama team, Chris Matthews just had a fit.
That word should never be used.
It's horrible.
This is a duly elected administration, a democratic country.
Regime implies something foreign.
No regime implies and defines authoritarian governments, which this one clearly is.
But Myron York of the Washington Examiner found out that Chris Matthews had himself used the term regime, talking about the Bush administration, and that was used throughout the broadcast evenings on MSNBC all the time, too numerous to mention.
So now John Heileman has spoken up, accusing me of sedition because of the use of the word regime.
Has Heileman himself ever used that word with its connotations of tyranny?
A search of the Nexus database shows four recent examples of Heileman using regime to refer not to tyrannies but to American domestic politics.
He even used the phrase Obama regime.
For the record, January 19, 2009 issue of New York magazine, Heilman wrote that Obama had no particular expertise in economics.
So it's ironic to say the least that the first defining moment of his regime happens to revolve around matters macroeconomic.
Dealing not just with a nasty and potentially prolonged downturn, but with a wrenching epical series of capitalism on a global scale.
Referred to the Obama regime.
January 19, 2009.
January 5, 2009 issue of New York magazine, Heileman wrote of the power troika of Bob Gates, Jim Jones, and Hillary Clinton, each of whom plausibly could have filled the very same jobs in a John McCain regime.
December 1st, 2008 issue of New York magazine, Heileman wrote that all administrations experience internal conflict over foreign policy issues, and Obama's regime, with Biden in the building and Gates likely to remain atop the Pentagon will be no exception.
Twice, Heilman, who accused me of sedition yesterday on TV, has referred to this administration as the Obama regime himself.
November 17, 2008 issue at New York magazine, Heileman wrote that Obama's choice of veterans of previous administrations satisfied some supporters, but for the Obama files, it fuels the anxiety that the regimes of the new boss and the old boss will end up resembling one another, one another too much.
So I can one, two, three, four, at least uh four times.
Oh, sorry, more than that.
At other times, Heilman used regime in ways he would now pronounce acceptable, to refer to Middle East autocracies and the like.
But he clearly used regime as a synonym for administration in the American political sense on more than one occasion.
Did he mean to convey connotations of tyranny?
as he accused me of doing.
There you have it.
There's a...
Do you remember The Sopranos?
Do you remember the Russian woman that Tony had a little affair with who only had one leg?
Remember her?
In one episode, where Tony and some of his crew had tried to mess around with this woman.
She got in his face with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth and said, Don't screw with me.
Which has been the theme of the first hour and fifteen minutes of this program.
Don't screw with me.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, kicking off a brand new week of broadcast excellence, and will not be lost on you this fact.
On Friday, when Bill Clinton was trying to re-again reblame me for the Oklahoma City bombing, and you and all of the talk radio hosts and conservative bloggers.
What were we in the middle of doing?
We were in the middle of raising millions of dollars to cure leukemia and lymphoma while we were being blamed for something that hasn't happened.
And blamed for something that the Clinton administration is solely responsible for.
And that is the Oklahoma City bombing.
And I have thought not from my own opinion or anybody else's, it's Timothy McVay's own words.
To the phones we go.
We're going to start Albany in New York.
This is Mike.
Thank you for call.
What?
Can you hear me?
Albany, Indiana.
Sorry, all I saw was the Albany.
We get calls from we never got a call from Albany, New York.
Albany, Indiana.
We'll get a call from Washington, Columbia, but never Washington, D.C. I don't know how snurkly does this.
Anyway, where is Albany, Indiana?
Albany, Indiana is about an hour northeast of Indianapolis.
Great to have you on the program.
Thank you.
Honored to finally talk to you, Rush.
The statement I wanted to make was I I still recall back when uh President Bush was uh in office.
All the people that went overseas and slammed our country and slammed that administration.
Um I remember Bill Maher almost begging somebody to shoot President Bush and um um uh Vice President Dick Cheney.
Yeah, and that wasn't sedition.
I mean, that was all just everybody expressing their opinion.
And you go back to just the uh the soundbite that you played about Hillary, you know, that stuff was so much harsher than anything that we're doing now.
And and what they're afraid of is for so many years we were satisfied, we were comfortable, we were economically uh solid, so nobody was really complaining much, and nobody was voicing their opinion.
We're actually voicing our opinion now, and they just can't take it.
It just blows my mind.
Well, they are afraid.
I there's no question they're afraid they see polls like this, eighty percent.
They'll try to turn it around and make it into a positive for them and their point, but they won't succeed with it.
But you're uh you're right, it was Bill Maher, it was John Kerry, talking about our soldiers being murderers and rapists and terrorists.
Uh Clinton and Gore would travel overseas and rip the Bush administration left and right, and of course.
That wasn't sedition.
And let's let's not forget there was actually a movement called Drive Out the Bush Regime.
Remember Drive Out the Bush Regime?
That was uh that was a group funded by John Kerry, who served in Vietnam and George well he didn't have any money, it was funded by his wife, Teresa Heinz Carey and George Soros.
And that that bunch used to demonstrate in Washington constantly during the Bush administration.
And let's not forget that in Osama Bin Laden's own words, Bill Clinton's retreat from Somalia inspired bin Laden to begin his jihad against the U.S. thinking we had become a paper tiger.
We run away.
We won't hang in there.
Culminated in the 9-11 attacks.
Actions have always spoken louder than words.
Marie, Newport Beach, Arkansas.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, did you say Arkansas?
Yeah, because I figured if there's an Albany, Indiana, there's got to be a Newport Beach, Arkansas.
There might be, but it's Newport Beach, California.
Okay, thanks for correcting me.
Great to have you here.
And it's Larie, but that's okay.
What is it?
Larie with an L. Well, that's staff making me look great again today.
Thanks, uh, thanks, Marie.
Larry, Larry.
Okay, Rush, it's an honor and a pleasure to speak to you.
I've been listening to you probably if it wasn't the first day, it was the first week you went national.
And um, so I'm a little ashamed of myself that I can't figure out the answer to my own question.
Um has to do with what you said.
You say it a lot that the left the liberal media, their lap dogs for Obama.
And so they can be invited to parties.
And I I'd have trouble wrapping my my arms around that because there are comparisons made between Obama and FDR, and I know there are a lot of similarities, but the difference I think in them is FDR loved this country.
I believe that, and he recognized our enemy and he fought them to defeat them.
And the media supported the war effort.
They weren't counting body bags on Normandy.
So my question is at what point did the media stop being watchdogs?
You know, Charlie Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer love this country.
The uh timing of your call is profoundly propitious.
As I was uh I was discussing this very phenomenon with a friend last night in an instant message chat going back and forth.
My friend is constantly pointing out to me all of the failings of the media where they fail to be hold anybody accountable and so forth.
And he said, look at look at how they went after Nixon.
And they even went after LBJ now.
Some of them even went after Kennedy back in the day.
They even but but but then that's and I said there's a reason.
And I'm gonna answer your question this way, Larie, and it's it's one of these don't doubt don't doubt me questions or points.
I firmly believe I've said this before in the program.
I firmly believe that what has driven the media from liberal sympathy to liberal advocacy is me.
And the rise of conservative media back in the day before we existed.
They owned it, they had a monopoly, and they were sympathizers, and they were all liberals just as they are now.
But there was no opposition of any significance.
The conservative opposition back then was, as they themselves refer to it, very civil.
It was Mr. Buckley on firing line and in his magazine.
Uh it was uh Bob Michael presiding over a hundred Republicans who played golf rather than went to the went to work in the House of Representatives, and everything was fine.
The Libs got to run the show.
Uh occasionally they had to deal with the Republican president, what the press would tell help take him out.
Uh but now the press is more interested in defeating me and us than they are uh holding the administration to any type of accountability.
They have been they have been uh uh the I think what's happened here is that they have been forced into admitting who they always have been, and now there's no pretense at objectivity, there's no pretense of uh of uh holding uh truth to power.
There's no pretense of any of the accountability because now it's more important to defeat us than it is to hold Obama or any other Democrat accountable.
And it's just unbelievable.
I I I told my friend last if if we didn't exist, of course, this is a hypothetical you have to just imagine because uh uh we can't, that they do exist.
We do exist.
But the pretend that we don't, if we don't exist, if we didn't exist right now, they would be behaving far differently toward Obama.
Huh.
There's no question in my mind, they're also been we're putting them out of business.
I mean, they're the viewers of the NBC, CBS, and ABC Nightly Newscasts are gone.
Whoever anchors doesn't matter anymore.
You know, they're they're not they're not godlike purveyors of truth anymore.
Uh their audiences have been fragmented.
Twenty-five thousand people a night watch CNN some nights.
Their most popular show, Larry King Alive, is now finishing behind MSNBC.
That that's the last time, as David Balder of the Associated Press itself asked, when's the last time Larry King interviewed anybody that it mattered?
Well, could have half of that be the just the apathy of the country?
I mean, more people are tuning in to dancing with the stars and you know, they're oblivious.
I'm a mother of two little kids and there's always been that.
There's always been I love Lucy, there's always been uh mission impossible.
I'm talking about it used to be 80% of the country watched Cronkite, Huntley Brinkley, and whoever ABC had.
Now it's 15 to 20 percent.
Uh look at the newspapers, look at the news magazines, they're losing pages, they're losing advertisers.
They're laying people off.
Not happening to us on the radio.
But I I I really firmly believe this.
I I think that uh I'm not saying that I know I'm gonna get some argument on this, so let me make it clear.
I'm not saying that if we weren't around, they'd be beating Obama up.
Don't misunderstand.
They would be full-throated supporters of Obama.
But if we weren't around, it wouldn't be this slavish in the tank sycophantic coverage because they now feel it necessary to defend themselves and him against us.
Look at Obama urges more opposition to us than he does Islamic terrorists.
Yep.
So there's no question that in my mind that the ascension of this new media has contributed greatly to the old legacy media going further and further and totally in the tank from just sympathizers with a pretense of objectivity to now full throated agenda advocates.
Can you get your arms around that?
Uh yeah, but it's just hard to believe.
Why?
Why is it hard to believe?
If you understand human nature, if you understand the power that they think they had, the monopolistic power, and now they don't have it.
Look at can you believe a guy on the radio or a guy on television is the focus of enemy attack, media all weekend long.
I, a guy on the radio who can't raise anybody's taxes, can't send anybody off to war.
I cannot do one thing.
I can't harm you economically, I can't, I can't do a damn thing.
I am treated as an enemy of the state.
Mm-hmm.
By the way.
And if you weren't right, you wouldn't have to follow when you do.
Uh true.
Ever so we'd be listening.
Ever somebody listened to that's they've liberalism is a lie.
They got away with the lie for all of these years.
Now they're being called on all of these things that are not true.
And they've uh got their backs up.
That's it.
We'll be back.
Folks, don't misunderstand me out there.
I'm not saying that the media held Kennedy, LBJ, and their feet to the fire.
They did not do that.
But there still was a pretense of holding of some accountability.
They had to explain themselves.
LBJ, I guarantee you, had to explain himself on Vietnam.
The media did not like that.
Who was it that forced him out of office?
I'm my point is that had we been around during the Vietnam War, they would have turned on us before they turned on LBJ.
That is all I am because we were against LBJ.
One thing, if they do it on their own, fine.
But they're not going to follow us.
If we say, I hope Obama fails because I want the country to succeed, they're going to take take on, they're going to take me on and defend Obama, doesn't matter.
Uh this is I don't really think it's all that arguable.
I mean, the media didn't have much to say about Hitler until he turned on the Soviets.
That's when they started hating Hitler because they loved the Soviets.
They were, these people were always very soft on Soviet communism.
Uh they mocked anti-communism and made fun of it.
They've just gotten worse over the years, and now they have been forced into owning up on which side they've always been.
Look at they they didn't roll over for Jimmy Carter.
They made they made fun of Jimmy Carter and so forth.
Uh they had a lot of problems with him.
So it's but it's different now.
Had we been around during Carter, Carter would have gotten almost the same treatment Obama does if we had been leading the charge against Carter as we are against Obama.
Because they're gonna choose sides.
If they are the lone force of accountability, be out there.
And by the way, um Bill Clinton, the last time I've been to two of these, the last time I went to the White House correspondence dinner.
That night I was the guest of uh Judy Keene.
I think she was at Was she at U.S. Yeah, she was at USA Today then.
And I'm sitting there minding my own business.
And all of a sudden, Bill Clinton, the president says, hey, you like the way Rush Limbaugh stuck up for Janet Radon's program the other night?
He only did it because she was attacked by a black guy.
And the room just went into a hush, and there was a ooh, and awe.
Today, had that happened, it would have resulted in a standing ovation.
Chris Matthews came up to me after the dinner that night.
You can't let that stand.
You're not the Rush Limbaugh.
If you let the president of the United States call you a racist in front of a whole town here tonight, you can't let that stand.
Today, if I were to go to the White House correspondence dinner, I guarantee you, and I'm not, I got over 20 invitations, different people this year to go.
But folks, do you realize if I went to that thing the whole night would change?
Every speaker would add lib comments about me, including Obama, and the room, every every uh every joke, derogatory or otherwise about me, would get a standing O from every but 1,200 people in the room.
I don't go out of respect for these people.
I don't want to ruin their night.
We didn't manage speaking.
And I don't want to upstage all the Hollywood celebrities that they're bringing in.
Because if I showed up in the room, it would come to a halt.
I'm just screeching halt.
And somebody, oh my God, we got to tell Obama.
Limbaugh's here.
Find out what table limbs it.
So I'm not going.
Now the black guy happened to be John Conyers.
And John Conyers had conducted hearings into the Waco invasion.
And I thought that Conyers had showboated to make himself look like a big guy.
He was he was being rude to Janet Reno rather than trying to find out what the really what happened.
And we wanted to know what happened.
And he was spending time raking her over the coals.
I wasn't, I wasn't defending Reno.
I was talking about how the unproductive nature of the hearings because of the grandstanding by Conyers.
So Clinton tells his joke.
Yeah, you like the way Rush stuck up for Janet Reno in his program the other night.
He only did it because she's being attacked by a black guy.
You know, when uh President Obama leaves office, we will effectively have no man space program.
We will have uh no insurance companies, health insurance companies will have probably no private automobile companies.
See the fine Toyota got.
Where's the money go?
By the way, uh no private student loan operations, no energy production, no growth in energy, and of course no money left.
And that's just scratching the surface.
My friend wrote to me last night what is so troubling is the complete uh breakdown of any sort of accountability.
No one in the Democrat Party has spoken out about Obama.
They spoke out when FDR tried to pack the court, the Democrats did.
They spoke out against Truman.
Some of them spoke out against JFK and Carter, but they circled the wagons around Clinton and they're doing the same for Obama.
This is a party and media that does not put the country first, and the argument that seemed to get the votes necessary for government-run health care was to save Obama, not to help the people.
Genuine radicals are now leading it.
He responded, the media hunted down Nixon, tried to destroy Reagan, is in full defensive mode.
And as such, there's no check.
They had to purify their own party before they could take the nation.
I said, here's the dirty little secret.
I'm thoroughly convinced of it.
The media has hardened solidly left now because of the ascendancy of our new media.
The motive will always be to destroy us before holding Obama or any other Democrat accountable.
I would almost posit that were it not for our existence and the perception they have of our power, that if we were not around, they would be more circumsect of Obama, even though probably less than normal because of his race.
Give him more of a pass because of his race.
What do you mean, Russia?
You're afraid to go.
No, I'm not afraid to go to the White House correspondence.
I never.
Folks, the real reason I don't want to go to the thing is it's phony.
Twelve hundred people get together in a room, you know, politics show biz for the ugly.
This is their equivalent of the Academy Awards, and they all get together and they pretend they like each other for a few hours.
And they don't like each other.
And they all have yucks and so forth, but they don't like it.
I don't want to go in there and pretend I have, you know, some sort of fraternal relationship with these people.
Because I don't.
They don't think I'm in the fraternity.
And I don't want to be in the fraternity.
And last year, was it Wanda Sykes who said she hoped I died?
Standing ovation.
At the White House Correspondence Dinner.
Let's not forget some might uh 27, since we're talking about all this sedition stuff and all these words that might provoke people, Senator Dick Turbin from June 10th of 2005 on the Senate floor.
If I read this to you and didn't tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have happened by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime, Paul Potter others that had no concern for human beings.
Sadly, that's not the case.
This was the action of Americans in treatment of their own prisoners.
And there he was joining the fray against how we were treating people at Club Gitmo, where I to this day have a thriving licensed merchandise business.
Steve in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Very good, sir.
Thank you.
I I was just wondering, uh, I'm a little confused today.
Uh it seems like all weekend, and of course, today all I've been hearing is Clinton said this and Clinton said that, and Clinton said this, and Clinton said that.
So I I I just need you to educate me and maybe refresh my memory.
Maybe maybe I lost something down the down the road here.
Um wasn't this guy impeached and disbarred for lying under oath.
Uh and that being the case, when was it that his credibility was restored?
Uh you are exactly right, uh, by the way, in your recollection.
Oh.
I I was I thought maybe I was just confused and I was hallucinating or something.
Remember now, you know, who who at the 2004 Democrat Convention was given the seat of power in the in the in the audience, Jimmy Carter.
Yeah.
Remember, failure is a requisite for advancement in the Democrat Party.
Failure is a resume enhancement.
The reason why Clinton has credibility.
I'm being serious with you here.
The reason Clinton has credibility is because they think he beat us.
He won re-election, even though he was impeached, he was not convicted.
They think Clinton is big because he beat us.
Even though he was disbarred and lying under oath.
Necessary price to pay of a tremendous sacrifice to gave it all up in order to defeat us.
Well, he had 50 plus 55% approval numbers, so the impression was the American people like Clinton too.
And so I mean, they all in that party make things up and lie.
I mean, they all have credibility problems.
It's just, you know, picking lesser of all the evils.
Well, thank you, Rush, for straightening me out.
Happy to help, Steve.
Okay.
Be back right after this.
And one more recollection from the past, ladies and gentlemen.
Just as this past Friday, when President Clinton first floated that I was responsible again for Oklahoma City.
And that uh the Tea Party would be responsible for any future such acts.
We were in the process of raising millions of dollars for the cure for leukemia and lymphoma.
After the Mirror Building was blown up, it was this program which raised millions of dollars for victims inside via the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.
Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation raises money and passes it all back.
There are hard that all practically effectively zero uh administrative costs.
I mean, one or two percent.
They provide college scholarships and educations for the children of Marines killed in action, and during events such as the Oklahoma City bombing, they extended that to the children of customs agents who were killed, FBI agents who were killed, other federal agents, children were taken care of after the Oklahoma City bombing, and who was it was raising money for that?
It was you and me on this program.
And yet we were uh implicated as being responsible for it.
This is why I have no desire to go to a party in Washington and pretend that I'm in the same fraternity as these people.
Zilch.
Zero.
Nada.
Andrew Malcolm, Los Angeles Times blog.
Obama visits California but only from money again.
The good news for California Democrats is that they're hero, President Obama's returning to California this afternoon.
The bad news is once again they'll have to hand over big bucks to see or hear him.
Common Californians, including the increasing twelve point six percent of whom are now unemployed, will be unable to hear the president address the economy or mounting fears over his health care bill and its costs.
Because his announced events on the West Coast trip Monday are political and closed to all but donors.
Again, he's going out there to shore up the saving campaign at Senator Barbara Boxer.
And when ask Kansas and the NCAAs.
The clown S Corsine in uh in uh New Jersey.
Ask Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.
When Obama comes calling, it's a kiss of death.
Back to the phones.
Jan in uh Martinez, California, or Martinez, is that which is it?
Martinez or Martinez.
It's Martinez.
Martinez.
Great to have you on the Yeah, it's Martinez, Georgia, outside Augusta.
Oh, okay.
You're having problems with these names today in cities.
I love Certainly.
I don't want to get in trouble with him.
Thank you.
Well, you wouldn't believe how we spelled this.
That's why I asked you.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Hey, I'm sitting out here in the home of Cindy Sheehan.
She's she's allowed to engage in dissent and be a disruptor.
Oh, I know.
Travis Air Force Base or Bush's ranch in Crawford.
In, you know, in 06, Pelosi told anti-war tech protesters that FDR was a disruptor and she's a fan of disruptors.
Mm-hmm.
But now I, the backbone of the American society, the humble middle class taxpayer that loves my country and is a law abiding citizen, goes to a peaceful rally, which I I haven't even signed on yet.
I am not an official member of a Tea Party.
But I'm vilified.
And and words like sedition are thrown around.
And Mr. Heidelman, it is not the bad economy that scares me.
It's things like accusing law abiding citizens of sedition.
I mean, what is this about?
I I don't get it.
The reason I'm out there, Rush, is because of the acronym for the Tea Party.
I'm taxed enough already.
Now, didn't George Bush learn his lesson.
It's the economy stupid.
Remember, he said, read my lips, no new taxes.
Look what happened to him.
We had Obama going around saying he wasn't going to raise taxes on anybody, making less than 250,000.
Well, I contend that they just did that through the health care bill indirectly.
It's actually to make the cost of my health care go up, and it's gonna be a lot worse than what I'm getting right now.
California economy is a nightmare, and I am living it.
And my friends and family are living it, Rush.
And I I just think these people they don't get it.
So I contend it's it's one of two reasons that the trust in the government is so low.
That poll is just incredible.
It's eighty percent.
Okay, so it's either two things and you can't have it both ways.
Obama is either a Marxist and he's screwing with the economy on purpose, like that Cloward and Pivot, you know, concept.
Right.
And he's going for fundamental change, and he's gonna wham it down our throat no matter what, or it's number two, and the media will not own up to either of these.
He is totally inept, and all of his czars are, and they need to be tossed out of office because Obama has as much executive experience as I do, Rush, and that would be zero.
