Time Text
Hi, how are you?
I am Rush Limbaugh, America's truth detector, the doctor of democracy, and general all-round good guy, America's real anchor man serving humanity here because I'm here.
That's all it takes.
That opening my mouth.
Syllables.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800 282-2882, the email address.
Lrushbaugh at EIB net.com.
I have been asking.
I haven't been asking.
I have been pointing out that President Obama in his video outreach over the weekend to try to reconnect with his base to energize them for the 2010 midterm elections in November.
Reaches out to blacks, Hispanics, African Americans, and women.
But he leaves out whites, white women, older white seasoned citizens, Indians, Asians, a number of other people, and Jews.
So So last Wednesday in Washington at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Obama's national security adviser, James Jones, told a joke.
It was a store, a little store owned by a Jewish merchant.
And uh the Taliban warrior went up to him and said, I need water.
Give me some water.
And the uh merchant said, I'm sorry, I don't have any water, but would you like to buy a tie?
We have a nice sale of ties today.
I'm sorry that I don't have water for you.
And I forgive you for all of the insults that you've levied against me, my family, my country.
But I will help you out.
If you go over that hill and walk about two miles, there's a restaurant there, and they have all the water you'll need.
And the Taliban, instead of saying thanks, still muttering under his breath, disappears over the hill, only to come back about an hour later.
And walking up to the merchant says, Your brother tells me I need a tie to get in the restaurant.
Okay, now the crowd laughed.
But is there not a stereotypical insult in that joke?
Is there not a stereotypical insult in the joke?
Depicting Jews as greedy merchants.
Doesn't matter that it's the Taliban.
Could have been anybody.
And that's Obama's national security advisor with an anti-Semitic joke, and what will happen here is it what he'll get slapped on the wrist for telling a Taliban joke.
We we we we can't we can't tell.
Taliban jokes.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I wrote an op-ed last week that appeared last Friday in the Wall Street Journal.
It was predictably well received.
But unpredictably, the point that I was making in it was supported by several members of the leftist media.
We go to the audio soundbites yesterday morning on reliable sources on CNN.
During the round table discussion, Howard Kurtz spoke with uh Joan Walsh of Salat Salon.com about Clinton and me.
And Kurtz said, is it fear 15 years ago or now for for Bill Clinton to blame the likes of Rush Limbaugh and other talk hosts for in effect inciting violence?
I think it is fair, Howie.
There is a climate of violence on the right.
Liberals are demonized in the most personal way.
I mean, you know, Rush comes out and has this wonderful op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal at the end of the week and saying, you know, conservatives are protesting because we love our country.
And unfortunately, the the rhetoric of the right has all too often been they love their country, and we on the left do not.
We are traitors, we are un-American, we are unpatriotic.
Obama is weakening our national defense on purpose.
So the the co-anchor of the Washington Times America's Morning News, Amy Holmes, uh weighs in on this.
Howard Kurtz says, so let me get Amy Holmes in.
What are your thoughts on this, Amy?
I have to uh disagree uh violently with Bill Clinton.
It reminds us what we don't like about him, and that was the demagoguery.
And I don't believe that Rush Limbaugh or any right-wing uh talk radio person is responsible for this any more than an environmentalist is responsible for the unibomber.
Then Howard Kurtz speaks with uh global editor at large at Reuters, Christia Freeland about Clinton and me.
He said, Look, Christian, there's a certain surreal quality to this argument because no major act of violence, other than that nut job who flew the plane into the IRS office in Austin has taken place yet.
It's almost like a preemptive debate.
I have to say on this one, I'm on uh Rush Limbaugh's side as well.
I think that it's incredibly easy for politicians, for business people to criticize the media.
Uh, in those Goldman emails I was telling you about that I enjoyed so much on Saturday.
There's a great line where Lucas von Prague, the Goldman spokesman, is sending an email to his bosses, and he says this story will have balance, and then he puts in brackets, i.e., something we don't like.
I'm not accusing Rush Limbaugh being guilty of too much balance, but I do think blaming the media is a very weak thing for politicians and business people to do.
And I think we in the media should really be pretty, pretty careful before we agree with the criticism.
That's Reuters Global Editor at large.
Christian Freeland agreeing with me that Clinton was overboard in blaming me for inciting violence, which has not yet occurred, or even for McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing.
My only question, do you think Clinton looks at me as a member of the media?
I mean, when you th Well, when you think of the Yeah, I guess so.
I know you have you seen the latest newspaper numbers, the circulation's down 7.8% again.
And I am one of the few media people with an audience left.
Uh okay, what is they look at me as?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So you don't think he looks at me as a member of the media.
He looks at this is my point.
I don't think Clinton looks at me as a member of the media.
He's not blaming the media for inciting all this.
He's blaming me.
Personally and directly.
I am a rival, a thorn in the side.
I don't think he looks at me as media.
Political enemy.
You know, if he had an enemy's list, I'd be right there on it.
So I no problem with a bullet.
Okay, crony capitalism.
Wall Street Journal.
Democrats took a step toward their goal of overhauling financial regulation, reaching a tentative deal to set restrictions on trading and exotic financial instruments known as derivatives.
Among the considerations still in the balance, a big provision being sought by Warren Buffett in recent weeks.
A key Senate committee had changed its proposed overhaul of derivatives, uh derivatives regulation after lobbying by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, potentially helping Buffett avoid a financial hit.
Sunday night's deal, hammered out by the Senate banking chairman Chris Dodd and the agriculture chairwoman Blanche Lincoln reflects the populist anti-bank sentiments simmering on Capitol Hill.
A Senate Democrat official said the two have worked out a deal which is expected to be folded into a broader Democrat measure that revamps the U.S. system of financial regulation in the wake of the catastrophic financial collapse that occurred in 2008 that the government, of course, had nothing to do with.
The agreement includes a proposal that could force banks to spin off their lucrative derivative trading operations, reshaping Wall Street.
The fate of Buffett's effort to influence the legislation remains uncertain.
Senate officials said last night that most of the details of the agreement have not yet been finalized.
The provision sought by Buffett and pushed by Ben Nelson of Nebraska in the Senate Agriculture Committee would largely exempt existing derivatives contracts from the proposed rules.
The change thus would aid Buffett, which has a $63 billion derivatives portfolio, according to Barclay's Capitol.
Mr. Buffett's push is especially notable because he has warned of the potential dangers of derivatives, famously branding them financial weapons of mass destruction.
The White House has been trying to kill a Berkshire provision on the grounds it would weaken the government's ability To regulate derivatives.
Berkshire Hathaway argued that it shouldn't be made to redo existing contracts, and that it is already healthy enough to cover its obligations.
The battle over the provision shows just how lobbying by businesses and lawmakers to insert just a few words into a complex bill can have a major impact on the country's biggest companies.
Bingo.
Corny crap, crony capitalism is right out in front of our face.
Goes back to what I was talking about earlier.
Socialism, its problem is socialism.
The problem with capitalism is capitalists.
Here you have, as I read this in the Wall Street Journal, here you have two forces.
You have an overreaching government led by the most unqualified, incompetent guy in any room he walks into.
Barack Obama trying to reshape and define how Wall Street can play the game.
In fact, they are the referee getting into the game.
Warren Buffett on the other side, nobody could object with the definition of Warren Buffett as a capitalist.
But what's Warren Buffett doing?
Warren Buffett realizes what's going on here.
He realizes and is not fighting this expansion of government.
He's seeking an exemption from it.
He is seeking out his own self-interest by using the power of his own existence in his lobbying group to get an exemption from the new rules on derivatives so that he will not be touched by it.
Now you couldn't say that Buffett is doing this for the nation at large.
He's just made a business calculation here.
Okay, I've got this guy Obama.
Yeah, I campaigned for him.
Yeah, I voted for him.
Yeah, the guy doesn't know what he's doing.
So I gotta make sure that this guy doesn't destroy me while he's destroying everybody else.
And I'm going to stand here and see, because what are these guys love but for their competition to be destroyed?
So these guys are happy to sit around and what and let Obama do it as long as they can exempt themselves from the destruction.
Hello, Goldman Sachs.
And now hello, Warren Buffett with Berkshire Hathaway.
As I as I read this, this is classic corporate cronyism.
No effort to stop the expansion of the state.
No effort to stop the onward march of socialism.
No effort here to stop the encroachment of the federal government into the private sector.
Nope, nope, nope.
What Warren Buffett wants is an exemption from that for himself.
This is why I kind of cringe when I hear about all these people who think rich Republicans are big business people, and that Republicans are in bed with the uh with Wall Street and all these high finance guys are in bed with all the Republicans.
The Republicans care about the rich, the Republicans who don't care about a little guy.
And yet, nothing can be further from the truth.
Here you have not just Buffett.
I mean, you had the whole healthcare industry, uh, the drug industry making their own deals with Obama to exempt them while he goes around destroying the insurance agencies.
And while he runs around and destroys the car companies.
So, right out in front of our face, once again, the way this stuff happens.
This is why a lot of us ask, where are the Patriots?
Where are the people who want to preserve this country in a way that allowed them to become so ridiculously wealthy and successful?
Where are they?
Back after this.
Hey, I saw my first iPad yesterday.
And I've been holding out.
The iPad that I ordered doesn't get released until April 30th.
So I'm either going to have it that day or the next day.
And I haven't bothered to go look at one, you know, because I I don't I don't go to malls or stores.
I've looked at the video on the on the Apple site, but a guy had one.
And it blew me away.
It was amazing.
I played with it.
It's it's it's it's much faster.
The Wi-Fi, it's got a much bigger chip, much faster Wi-Fi than the iPhone is, much faster connectivity.
Uh looking at some of the books that is downloaded on it and the way you turn pages, it's the display is great.
But the point is, I asked this guy, have you backed this up?
Well, what do you mean?
Well, look at all these pictures that you've put on it.
You had to put these pictures on the summit.
How'd you get these pictures on it?
Well, I transferred them over from iTunes.
Well, uh, and got you know a lot of other things on it.
Did you back it up?
I don't know what you mean.
Well, it's supposed to automatically back up when you connect it to iTunes on your computer, but you should check.
My my point with all this is you don't get carbonite to back up your iPad.
That's not the point.
You carbonite to back up your computer hard drive.
Your computer hard drive is where all the stuff is before it ends up on your iPhone, before it ends up on your iPad.
Uh and but the iPad can't hold all of your dog.
It can't hold the iPhone neither.
So if you d if you're not oriented toward backing this stuff up, you're gonna lose it.
It happens to everybody who has a computer at least once in their lifetime as a computer owner.
You lose your data.
Accident, theft, uh the computer quirk or what have you.
And a carbonite backs all this stuff up offline or off-site, online.
Happens every time you're connected to the internet and you don't see it happen, you will forget that you have it until you lose your hard drive.
And then you'll see how easy it is to restore, and you'll be thanking me for suggesting this to you.
Carbonite unlimited backup, just fifty-five dollars a year for your Mac or your PC.
You use my name, and you'll get a free 15-day trial before they charge you a dime.
And if you decide to buy two free months, Carbonite.com, offer code rush, Janet in Tucson.
Thank you so much for waiting.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Uh I'm Living Tucson, and I'm one of the 70% of people that backed Jan Brewer on signing this bill.
In Tucson, we have one trauma center.
A lot of that is due to the fact over the last ten years, so many illegals have been hurt coming across.
They pack in vans, the vans roll over, they have to be medevaced in, ambulanced in, whatever it takes.
And we can't do it anymore, and people around the country have to understand where we are coming from.
To have one trauma center for a town this size, an area this size is abysmal.
It it shouldn't be this way.
And I have a question to people out there.
How do we stop paying welfare for all these people that are here now illegally?
Well, would you like to answer that yourself?
I don't know how to answer it.
That's why I'm on the phone with you.
Then I'll tell there's no way to stop it.
Would you like me to explain why I'm not I'm not trying to be defeatist.
The only way to stop it is to stop illegal immigration.
The only way to stop it is with border security, because if they're here, the Democrat Party, or even some statists in the Republican Party.
I mean, a lot of Republican Party is filled with a lot of idiots who think to get the Hispanic vote, you've got to give them welfare, you gotta give the illegals entry, you gotta do all so the Republican Party has its own crew here who believes this, and as long as the Democrat Party and some Republicans think that the key to electoral success is the illegals and their Hispanic brethren who are legal, they are going to continue to print money if they have to to give them welfare.
In California, they passed a battle initiative to outlaw it.
And a federal judge said, sorry, you don't have the power, this is unconstitutional.
People of California have already said we don't want to pay for their health care, we don't want to pay for their education.
Uh we can't afford it.
Federal judge said, sorry, you know what you're talking about, uh your your battled initiative uh unconstitutional.
So as long as we have to focus here, Janet, on the root of the problem.
The root of the problem is those who don't want to do anything about this.
Those in this country who have the power to stop it who don't want to.
They don't want to stop it for an obvious reason.
They want it to continue.
They want these twelve to twenty million, whatever number it is, to be legal.
They see votes.
They see welfare discipl uh recipients, they see uh an increased percentage of the population dependent on government.
They see an endless opportunity for more wealth and income redistribution.
So the only way to stop these kinds of payments is to stop the influx of illegals, and that's taking hold of the border.
Well, you know, we have friends from Mexico who've been here twenty years, and they came here to work, and they tell us now that people they knew way back when Are coming here now with their hands out.
They're not coming to work because they know they don't have to.
And it's it's like it's got it's just it's so frustrating to live here.
The drive-bys, there was a killing this weekend.
The guy who was killed had a uh Hispanic surname, and this is all the time.
And and uh the invasions, the drugs, the you Southern Arizona is absolutely gorgeous.
You go down there where Mr. Krentz was killed, that area down there, it's rolling hills, cow, it's gorgeous country.
We can't go down there for picnics or hikes anymore because you're afraid you're gonna run into smugglers of one kind or another.
It's it's our civil rights also that are being tromped upon.
Absolutely.
It is your fairness that's being discarded or ignored.
Exactly, and nobody's paying attention to this.
Oh, oh, oh, all contraire.
The country is in an uproar.
I was just gonna say it to you, Janet.
Look at the timeline here.
When was the last time we went through this and killed it at the federal 2007 or six?
2006 or seven.
I forget when, but remember finally the Republicans broke with George W. Bush and McCain, and your phone calls, and they just killed the amnesty bill.
Whatever it was, 06 or 07.
And all lies dormant, at least on the legislative front, other than in the states.
But it's not dormant because the problem is continuing, and there's no effort being made to stop it.
And now, why are we royaled today?
Because the state of Arizona has had to take the steps it took because the federal government will not enforce the law.
The federal government, the regime, is now trying to criminalize what the governor of Arizona has done.
So just it it is it's the federal government, this regime, which has brought this back to the surface, the express purpose of royaling our culture.
And to this this Warren Buffett thing, and George Soros.
You know, George Soros is the number one profiteer from the economic collapse.
George Soros said, has said that one of his goals in life is to bring about the world financial crisis and profit from it.
He profited big from the housing crisis in this country.
Shouldn't he be a little suspect?
So what we have here now is a government of men, not laws.
When you have a government of men by laws, big men will find a way to bend the law for our own purposes.
And this is what we are in the midst of now.
Kind of government that our founding fathers rebelled against.
Only for much less, frankly, than what's what's going on here.
Uh the rich and powerful will always find a way to get their way.
Crony capitalism.
It's what happens.
And Louis the Fourteenth, Louis XIV was a king.
Louis XIV, basically, if you criticize me, you're criticizing the state.
If you want anything, you've got to come to get come to me.
And I see a lot of Obama here.
Criticize Obama, you're criticizing criticizing the state, criticizing the country.
Uh, and if you want anything, you gotta go to Obama to get it.
Buffett's got to go to Obama.
Soros may be running Obama, who the hell knows.
So now what's Arizona to do?
Arizona has no choice.
The federal government is not going to enforce the law, not gonna support them.
When they do come up with their own law, what happens?
The regime goes after them.
The regime goes after the state of Arizona is unfair.
We're gonna monitor this violation, this potential violation of uh of civil rights.
By the way, the amnesty bill, thanks for telling me, Sturdley, uh was killed in June of 2007, and I remember um, you know, a lot of people in the uh in the 2008 midterm elections tried to say that's why the Republicans lost is because they killed Amnesty.
They lost it.
That was the template.
Republicans lost the House in 2006, 2008, uh well, actually six, uh, because of their stand on immigration.
And it was, it was Foley.
It was the Mark Foley, that's the reason that well, they also doing their own share of spending and failing to listen to their constituents, but it was the Foley thing that put them over the top.
Uh the Democrats over the top.
Here is Doug in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Ditto's to you.
Thank you.
And uh, yeah, I have family in Cape and Sykston, so we come from the same neck of woods.
Well, that's only thirty minutes away from where I grew up.
Right, right.
Yeah, I'm aware.
Hey, listen, I uh you know, I just can't help but to remind everybody the problem with this whole immigration issue is actually down in Mexico in Central America.
Conditions are so bad uh economically speaking that a decent hard working family guy can't support his family, so he's coming across the border to do that.
And I may be a little further to the right than you are on this issue.
I think that we ought to voluntarily annex Central America all the way down to Panama.
No, no, no, no, no.
Well, it would certainly uh it would certainly serve strategic and economic interests of the United States.
Do you realize if you no, you gotta start thinking about the things you say here?
If we annex Central America, can you say Democrats winning presidential elections by eighty to twenty percent?
Well, I don't believe that would be the case.
Well, they're certainly not going to move them up from the welfare states they're in.
I I I think that the uh the improvement in the lives of the people in Central America, uh, I think they would come to that realization that's well, wait a minute.
How do you know that their lives would improve just because we annexed them?
Well, because if they became part of America, if they became part of the United States and all of our laws, our business laws and commercial laws, child uh child worker laws, uh environmental laws, and all the things that would level the playing field, then their opportunities uh would exist there as they exist here.
Uh and and I just believe that many, many people, a lot of a lot of the individuals that I speak to uh who are from Mexico, uh there is a there's there there's there's a a nation in ancient history that thought the same thing you're thinking.
That civilization is known by the name of Rome.
The Romans thought that the more barbarians they made Romans, the better off they would be.
And it didn't work out that way because the Romans ended up becoming barbarians.
And the barbarians did not want to be Romans.
The barbarians were not illegally immigrating to Rome.
They wanted no part of it.
The Romans had to go out there and get them, and the Romans then had to try to co-opt them, make them Romans, and they didn't want to be Romans, and the Romans ended up becoming barbarians.
Do you want to become a Central American?
No.
No, absolutely not.
My gosh, this reminds me.
This reminds me.
I've got something in my briefcase I have been meaning to share with you in this audience for two weeks, and you just reminded me of it.
Good.
It has nothing to do with what you said.
The government of Panama, hearing about the fact that I was no longer going to go to Costa Rica has asked me to move there.
I have a letter from the guy.
I I've I've we checked it out, we legitimized it.
It's for real.
Yeah, I I've got it, I've got in my briefcase right behind me.
I'll I'll get to it uh in in the next segment.
Look, I understand, Doug, your your your faith in all this is rooted in your love for country and the greatness of America.
And you think that if if our ways are are spread, uh that it can't help but lift everybody up.
That's right.
Well, I know you think that, but there's a there's th I'm dead serious here.
The one major problem with that is that there's a political party and an ideology that does not want to lift anybody up.
And that is the Democrat Party.
They want to tear everybody down.
They don't want to lift people into a better life.
They want to lower people or or yeah, they want to lower people who have a good life into a less good life.
Social justice.
Uh fairness, uh, what have you.
So you would the current iteration of the Democrat Party, this regime, given a chance to annex Central America, would leave it exactly as it is, except they would increase the welfare payments to keep them there rather than here in the United States.
long as they could vote for Obama down in Ecuador.
If they could vote for Obama in El Salvador, oh man.
I mean, that would be Christmas morning times ten for these people, except they don't believe in Christmas.
So I have to come up with another holiday to illustrate the point.
But I understand what you're saying.
I really do, and I I uh uh appreciate it, but I really think the root problem you you said a root problem is economic circumstance, uh, where they're from and causing yeah, I know I've hear this all the time.
They just rush, they just want a better life.
Everybody in the world wants a better life.
That's why I wrote in the Wall Street Journal, we are the solution to the world's problems, our way of doing things.
But we cannot allow the whole world who wants a better life to get in here.
We can't support the whole world in the United States.
We have to teach them how to do it themselves.
That's why the United States is the solution to the world's problems.
But not with this current regime.
This current regime does not represent a solution to anybody's problem.
Glad you called out there, Doug, nevertheless.
Here we go again.
More identity theft.
And now this, there's a study.
Identity theft ranks among consumers' biggest concerns, and it should.
Aside from threats to national security, identity theft is Americans' most acute concern, according to a study published earlier last week in their in their uh it's the UNISIS Security Index that come out with biannually.
Researchers at UNICES asked more than a thousand areas of concerns concerning security, both physical and online.
The top ranked concern was national security.
Sixty-five percent of individuals describe themselves as extremely concerned or very concerned.
Identity theft was number two.
Of all the things to be concerned with.
Well, there's a solution.
This is one of those things that has an answer.
And it's called life lock.
Every time I see an article like this, I wonder, where are people?
Life lock's there.
It's ridiculously cheap.
When it comes to protecting your identity, why go with anybody but lifelog, the trusted leader?
They protect your information and never sell it to anybody else, like some of the other companies that compete with them do.
And their identity alert systems, the best there is.
Most often they catch people in the act of stealing your identity before it happens.
Because if it happens, nobody can completely stop it.
If it happens, you've got you have a nightmare to deal with.
Life Lock 800 440-4833, 10% off the already ridiculously low price by mentioning offer code Rush.
LIFELOC 800-440-4833.
I'm going to find that letter from the from the government of Panama right after this.
Don't go away.
No, uh, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not saying our neighbors to the South are barbarians.
Yeah, you know, you people know better than that.
I was talking specifically about the Romans and the people they were conquering and what they became.
Uh what I will say is, if if we annexed Central America, we would automatically in one fell swoop have the permanent underclass that the regime wants.
You think this you think this regime is interested in living people up?
Do you think Obama the Democrats are interested in lifting people up?
Answer me a question.
Where does it happen?
Other what they're already rich donors and friends and union people.
Among average citizens, where do they raise the tide?
Where is the tide lifting all boats?
Are they not making squalor for more and more people?
Here's that letter.
It's dated April 6th.
It is from we're going to put it on the website.
They've been waiting on me since April 6th to mention this.
I just remembered it.
Uh Republica de Panama, Ministerio de la Presidentia.
Dear Mr. Limbaugh, we have been listening with great interest regarding your recent comments about your possible move to Costa Rica.
Though we assume this comment was tongue-in-cheek.
May we take this opportunity to suggest before you decide to slough off the greatest nation on earth that you might consider visiting us here in Panama.
We believe that you will find a country that is hospitable, replete with uncompromising beauty, remote sandy beaches, World-class golf and a first world cosmopolitan city.
In addition, Panama has many of your like-minded patriotic Americans living here with us, former members of the U.S. military that share your belief in American exceptionalism, and just as important, we have a current president that is a free market, free trading, business-minded fan of yours.
Perhaps best of all, we are a mere two-hour flight from your beloved South Florida.
It would be our great privilege to have you and any of your guests visit us at your convenience.
Sincerely, I will not mention the man's name, but we checked it out.
It's legit.
The ministry minister of the presidency, Panama.
I guess we need an affiliate there, because we had an affiliate there.
If affiliates down there, you have sponsors down there, and sponsors love playing golf.
Do you want to go scout it, Snerdly?
Snerdley wants to go scout Panama.
Anyway, I laughed myself silly.
When the this came in over the transom, uh, and we spent we spent about two days trying to verify this.
You know, because all this misinformation about me and Costa Rica going around.
Um being set up.
Okay.
Hank in Boston.
I'm glad you called, sir.
You were next on the EIB network.
Hi.
He's gone.
Uh who's is anybody left?
Okay, let me take my pick.
Enemy meeny.
Oh, oh, oh, no.
Uh.
Christina in Bakersfield, California.
Hi, welcome to the program.
Hi, thank you for taking my call.
Yes.
I just wanted to say that I really liked your comment earlier about um socialist leaders not actually practicing socialism.
And um just one made the point that we actually have an example of that here in the U.S. with our union leaders.
And I don't understand how people that belong to unions are okay with their union leaders making as much money as they do.
Because they think the union leaders are looking out for them.
When in fact it's it's Bill O'Reilly looking out for them.
But they think the union leaders are looking out for them.
And then the union leaders are getting the best deal and preserving their health care and uh this, that, and the other thing.
But you're dead on right because the union leaders are by no means living a socialist or communist life like they're advocating for everybody else.
Right.
And neither is Obama or anybody else in Congress or Land at Brezhnev.
They'll make way more than the average person in the United States does now.
You got and Brezhnev, I don't know how many cars Land and Brezhnev had.
Uh this is this is the it's it's it's one of the well-known secrets of the world, and that is that communist leaders and socialist leaders live like the wealthiest capitalists on earth.
It's that they force everybody else.
I have a story here.
Thanks, Christina, for the phone call.

The Senate Committee on Aging last week, we'll have to do this in more detail tomorrow, offered a preview of the government's future role in health care, showing how Americans will interact with doctors and other health care providers.
The demonstration offers a glimpse at an overlooked effect of health care reform.
The effort, loosely called e-health or e-care, combines health care technology with 21st century internet connectivity.
It will allow doctors to interact with their patients through innovations like video chats, telephone health checkups, and home health monitoring devices that relay data over wireless internet connections.
One of the new technologies that was on display last Thursday was an automatic drug dispenser that can monitor and adjust medication dosages wirelessly, allowing doctors to tailor dosages of drugs like insulin without having to schedule in-person visits with patients and a send them out there to the pharmacy.
Ron Wyden, and we've got a soundbite from him, but I don't have time to squeeze it in here, is behind the senator from Oregon.
Yeah, this device is great.
It attaches to the patient's skin, is loaded with drugs that are administered in the exact way the doctor prescribes, wirelessly.
We're going to explore this in greater detail tomorrow, but obviously, if you have a shortage of doctors, this is one way of dealing with it.
It's also a wireless device for regulating the dosage of whatever drugs you're on, folks?
Really?
8.7% decline in newspaper circulation.
The six months ended March 31st.
Not as bad as last period's 10% decline, but it's not far off.
Yeah, they want to set up a device connected to your skin where your doctor via the internet can regulate the dosages of whatever medications they have you on.
