Time Text
Hey, look, uh, all you're doubting Thomas is out there.
There's no doubt that the Fed is pumping money, no cost money.
They're printing money.
What else are they going to do to cover all this debt?
They are printing money and they're giving it away.
The interest rates are practically zero.
They're making it easy.
So the short sellers are getting socked here because people are putting the money in the stock market.
The average guy's not in.
You know, this is...
It's not hard to understand what's going on out there at all.
Hey, great to have you back.
Rush Limbaugh, this is the EIB Network.
And the prestigious distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The news have been filled today with the fact that Andy Stern, the SEIU union chief being investigated.
And now the SEIU is done is denying, and the LA Times is denying that he's being investigated.
Apparently, what he's being investigated for doing is having paid somebody for a no-show job, which is what Muchell Obama had as Chicago Hospital.
He quit the SEIU abruptly, not long ago, and now they're investigating him.
This was, I think it was everybody expected it was coming down the pike.
And of course, uh no accused ever did it.
I mean, otherwise there wouldn't be defense lawyers.
Every client always says I didn't do it.
Nobody believes him.
But I I have to tell you, you know, I'm I'm you sit here, I sit here, I dream.
I know it's not happening, but I I got I'm watching MSNBC, and I'm looking at the hapless Tamron Hall, who's one of their infobabes, uh, interview F. Chuck Todd, who is uh one of their political gurus at NBC, and of course they're just talking to each other.
I mean, they're they're they and they're whatever they're doing, they're talking for the inside the beltway audience, you know, other journalists and so forth.
And their regime is falling apart right in front of our very eyes.
Stern being investigated, Emmanuel leaving town, Axlrod leaving town, Rohmer leaving town, or Zognoni leaving town by getting married.
Uh Summers leaving town.
The only person left is Geitner and nobody likes him.
And Andy Stern being investigated.
Obama can't draw a crowd in here, can't give away autographs or seats at fundraisers.
And they don't get it.
They're sitting there totally oblivious.
I'm watching them and I'm sure they have no clue.
Or if they do, they're ignoring it.
But I wonder if they do know it.
Staff sit here and I watch these guys.
I watch Lockjaw, I watch all these people on ABC, CBS, NBC.
I wonder if they're doing their reporting.
They really know it's all falling apart.
Do they know the House of Cards is starting to be exposed?
Are they so gone?
Are they so far in that they believe the lie that they spread and continue to spread?
Or when their microphones and cameras go off.
Do they sit there and go, uh-oh.
You know, and I just wonder.
I we'll never know.
We'll never know.
But it's there's never.
No, I've not been invited on the election news shows.
It's still early.
I'm I I um I don't expect to be invited on election.
You mean election coverage show?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, I mean they want me uh, you know, and they want me on their morning shows.
But I've I don't think I'll be invited to do election night coverage.
I wouldn't do it anyway.
I have a party to host.
Uh people over.
I don't think I would do it.
I've only done it one time.
It was with Tim Russert and Brokaw on MBC.
It was in two it was in 2002.
Well, they Broka did kind of melt down.
Tim didn't.
I mean, Tim knew what was going on, but Brokaw Brokaw was he was he was kind of blindsided by it.
Anyway, I got a note from a friend who heard the call from Gale in Birmingham, Alabama.
Rush, that was a great call, but I don't think you're so much uncovering something new about independence as you're simply reaffirming something you said constantly in 2006 and 2008.
While it never Came up in your conversation with her, you were inundated with calls in 2006 and 2008 by conservatives, now known as Tea Party types, who told you they were either not voting at all or were voting Democrat in order to punish Republicans for betraying conservative principles.
I suppose these folks were independent in the sense that they surely were not Democrats and they were fed up to here with Republicans, but they were not independent in the usual sense that we think of that term, which yeah, I understand it.
Independent being in the middle, neither Republican nor Democrat.
That's not who they are.
People who listen to all sides don't take a position.
That's not who the independents are.
At least this woman wasn't, and I suspect she's representative of far more independents.
The people who created the impression in our mind that the independent is this open-minded, indecisive, smarter than anybody else, waits until the last moment until examining all the issues, and then votes Democrat.
The media have given us that definition.
The media and political consultants of both parties have given us that definition of uh independence because that's where they live and work.
Political consultants, left and right, Democrat, Republican, are hired by candidates to get them elected.
Like Bob Schrum, who's never succeeded at it, but he gets hired all the time.
And they live in that 20%, 15 to 20% undecided independent.
And they convince their candidates they're the guy.
They know how to go get them.
They know what'll get the independence to move to their candidate.
So obviously, to make themselves look good, they they paint this picture of independence as open-minded, not closed-minded like conservatives.
They see things in shades of gray rather than simple-mindedly black and white.
And they're sophisticated and they wait until all the issues are examined, and they put all of the issues through their own grinder, and they examine these things intimately, intricately, using their superior intelligence.
At the end of the day, they decide to whom they're going to vote.
And of course, since they're the smartest of all, whoever they end up voting for is said to be the most brilliant candidate.
And in most cases, the political consultants like to tell us independents end up voting Democrat.
And what my friend here is saying is that's not who these independents are.
These people are really Tea Party types who fed up with the Republicans.
And they and they voted the way they did to teach the Republicans a lesson.
Some of them, as Gail said, were really intrigued by the possibility that Obama was something new and unseen and held a lot of promise.
But my friend says to me, Rush, you warned them, much as we were justifiably furious at the McCain Rhinos who had taken over, you warned them there would be woeful consequences to electing Democrats.
I think the woman you talk to is a perfect example of somebody who has chosen to forget that she voted for Democrats, not to give Obama a chance, but in sheer exasperation over the GOP.
But it's not like she wasn't warned, even if she now wants to say she was fooled by Obama.
So this is a friend of mine who, in his own mind and mine, is a very smart guy.
Just wanted his say everybody is telling me their take on that woman.
Everybody, everybody is giving me their thought in uh in emails on uh on Gale from Birmingham.
She said the new beginning, I know, and that's Obama was not selling the new beginning, and that that has a um magical possibility, potential, the new beginning, the new frontier.
And of course, you and I know that there's nothing new since Genesis, and it clearly isn't Obama.
There was clearly nothing new about Obama.
I mean, that really is the source of frustration.
I well, I didn't I didn't say we wanted to cleanse our national soul.
I the national soul didn't need to be cleansed as evidence.
National soul's been polluted here.
The national soul has been distorted.
We don't want to cleanse our national soul.
Look at, I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna throw another another thing into this mix.
I think some of these people couldn't help themselves after years and years and years of Bush being pummeled into an approval number of high 30s, with Bush and the White House not fighting back and not these people were leaderless.
And then you add to it their representatives and senators joining in all this massive spending, and they were just livid.
And they felt like the people they had voted for didn't care about them, and then there weren't any leaders anyway, so it's gonna, okay, well, hell, show you, and maybe this guy does hold some promise.
Who knows?
But see, I said earlier today, look at how many more of these examples, how many more of these experiences are we gonna have to go through?
Went through FDR, we went through LBJ, we've been through the New Deal, a raw deal of Clinton, we've been through the Great Society, the war on poverty, we've been to the Soviet Union, we've been through Cuba.
We have been through China, we've been with Venezuela.
It doesn't work when, I ask the heavens.
When are people gonna realize?
I'm talking about smart people.
I'm not talking about the the dunces and plenty of those out there, but when are intelligent people going to re- I've always said, well, not always, recently, if people just start looking at Democrats and Republicans ideologically, and wherever you see a liberal, run the other way, don't vote for one, and nine out of ten Democrats, 99 out of 100, 999 out of a thousand Democrats are liberals, why would you vote for one?
Especially after all of this.
Now, even if McCain, let's, if you want to punish yourself even further, let's live very briefly in a moment where McCain had been elected.
Does anybody think?
I'm asking.
Does anybody think we would be in this much debt?
I'm just saying, would we have had a one trillion dollar porculus bill?
Well, I don't know.
I'm asking maybe, would the Democrats have proposed it?
And would McCain, in order to show the country he could work with the other side, would we would he have signed it?
I don't know.
Would would we be in the dire straits?
Would we have an entire political party joined by the president attacking and destroying the private sector of the country?
Would that have happened?
We would have cap and trade.
McCain was for cap and trade.
But here's but here's we'd have a moderate destruction of the country.
Here's what these people know.
Because this is a toss-up.
This really is a toss-up.
At first glance.
Okay, we pretend that McCain's been elected and the same stuff happens to one degree, maybe some lesser degrees.
How bad would it be if we're in this shape and Republicans are to blame for it?
What if 95% of this stuff that we're going through had happened anyway?
What if?
What if 75% of this had happened policy-wise?
Country's still in the process of being attacked and destroyed, and yet a Republican in the White House being blamed for it.
Do you think that the media would just slavishly be supporting whatever McCain was doing?
No, we would probably have the total destruction of the Republican Party had McCain won.
And even half of this stuff happened.
I said I predicted that.
I said that, but I still I still didn't want Obama because we're we're it would with the Republicans, it would have been an accident.
With this guy, it's purposeful.
And McCain, McCain did vote against the stimulus.
He called it generational theft.
So what we might have still no.
Yeah, no, wait a second now.
McCain would have voted against uh Porculus, but the Democrats had the votes to override a veto in the House, and they had 60 votes in the Senate, he's 66 override in the Senate.
So it's you can't automatically say the stimulus would not have happened if the only thing different was McCain in the White House.
I know this is all a bunch of if.
And it didn't happen, and even by my own theory, philosophy, if is for children.
But since this has all been inspired by this uh call Gail gave us today about even though she knew all the folks, if you missed her call, she rails against Obama like you do.
Like I do.
Never again, she said.
Ain't gonna happen.
Hey, she voted for him.
That's the difference.
You and I didn't.
She did.
That is why I was zeroing in like a laser, like a Blu-ray laser.
They're trying to understand how it had happened.
Now, if McCain had won, the recession would not have ended in June.
We'd still be in it.
In fact, if McCain had won, we'd be in a depression.
They'd be talking about the Big D if McCain had won.
Oh, the media'd be totally different animal.
Instead of instead of the country being built up and all this wonderful stuff happening, it'd all be portrayed accurately as a disaster.
So as to uh end up blaming McCain.
We've heard that Rom Emanuel perhaps leaving Washington this week.
You want to hear something funny?
He's got a squatter living in his Chicago house who will not move out.
Rom's got no place to go when he gets back to Chicago.
Other than a hotel.
Eh, look, uh there's not a squatter living in Rom's house as a legitimate renter.
But Rom thinks he's a squatter.
This is Michael Sneed, a female columnist Chicago Sun Times.
Um Sneed is hearing rumbles.
There was a Nick's request for Rom to move into the basement of his leafed leased home if the tenant wouldn't move out.
Emmanuel, who's been in the process of quickly building a network to run for mayor, then trying to move back into his leased home on North Hermit Hajj in Chicago.
But the tenant who holds the lease with his wife until June of 2011 is refusing to budge from Rom's crib.
I'm told Rom and a close lawyer friend made several polite phone calls to the to the renter last week, but he uh bumped up against the wrong guy.
Uh Halpin, the renter reportedly conducts his business from the house.
His two kids are in school, he doesn't want to move.
Can you imagine the F bombs being tossed around here from R I mean?
Emmanuel wants to move back into his house, somebody's renting it, it won't move out.
He wants to run for run for governor.
So the quib would you blow up your own house to uh to get back in it.
Here's uh Tom in Sandusky, Ohio, as we go back to the phones.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hello, can you hear me okay?
Yeah, I hear you fine.
How about you hear me?
Yep.
Good.
Uh good to be on your show again.
Going uh going back to the beginning of the show when you were talking about uh how the Democratic Party was trashing O'Donnell spending all his money on uh somebody who was supposed to be a sure win for the Democrats.
Yeah, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee is spending all this money against a sure loser.
Yeah.
Well, I'm in Ohio, okay?
Yeah.
And uh you may as well say in Ohio the Democratic Party is getting slaughtered.
Yeah.
And they are they are still uh putting out these derogatory uh advertisements or campaign advertisements for the against the person that is the Republican and not identifying themselves as to who is putting this uh ad out.
The only one I saw where they did was S I U. They usually give a dot com place, you know.
And wait a second.
These ads have to have some some disclaimer at the end of them.
Well, if if there is, I can't find it.
You know, I saw one that uh it was sponsored by the SEIU, you know, uh, but that's the only one that I saw at the time, but uh the Democrats that are running for office are not identifying themselves as Democrats.
Yeah.
They're identifying themselves as uh uh as a you know, a dot com place somewhere.
They're not saying they're Democrats or anything.
The other thing is that the most of the Democratic ads are derogatory, where the Republican ads are very forward looking and very upbeat, and we can do something about this.
You know, it's an interesting point that you're making.
If you look at Tea Party paraphernalia, they're not ripping Democrats.
The Tea Party people are not ripping individual Democrat candidates.
They are they are um simply talking about positives on their side.
What they want to do, what they want to accomplish.
You say Democrats or Republicans.
Yeah, well, yeah, Tea Party people, Republicans.
But point is Tea Parties are not ramroding the the uh the the uh opposition.
No, they aren't.
They are not being derogatory at all.
Right.
They're trying they're trying to be upbeat and say, This is what we want to do, this is where we want to go, and this is why we're doing it, and yeah yada yada yet.
I agree with that philosophy.
But I I think it's interesting that the Democratic Party is sort of trying to hide who they are right now.
Well, the big D is the uh scarlet letter now.
Yes.
Yeah, the only ad I saw was out of Florida.
I was on real clear politics, and it was uh this guy that's got about one more point on the IQ than an acorn uh Grayson, is it?
Oh, yeah, Grayson.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This guy is certifiable.
Yeah.
Calling uh his opponent a Al Qaeda Taliban.
Taliban, that was it.
And of course, the media is simply amused.
There's a political story that strategy's not working, damn it.
Uh back after this.
Oh, wait.
Uh, I still have four, three, two, back after this.
As always, having more fun than a human being, or even an animal uh should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh, Limbaugh Institute to Charleston, South Carolina.
It's two days in a row.
We've had calls from Charleston, South Carolina.
Matt, a couple members of Team Vodka are from uh from uh Charleston, South Carolina.
Uh Rush.
Hey, Matt, welcome.
I tell you what, you are on fire.
Absolutely on fire the first hour.
I loved it.
Um I disagree with Ernie from Harlem in regards to palin.
We can get into that if you want to.
But the reason I called is that here in South Carolina, all the big insurance companies have stopped writing policies for all children, sick or healthy.
Front page article the other day, uh family where the husband switched jobs, went to a small business.
We're going to buy a private policy.
Insurance broker told them for the adults, husband, wife, good to go.
For the healthy six-year-old, no.
Uh insurance company spokesperson said, just like everybody thought, they don't want people not paying premiums coming in for the mandated coverage at the last minute after the kids get sick.
They pay out and go broke.
Can anybody say duh?
How can they do this?
How can they do this?
How can they Obama said you know you're gonna be able to keep your coverage and your kids get covered till you're 26 and it's free.
Well, that's not what what's happening.
And that's in Charleston, South Carolina.
Front page news uh or front page on the Post Courier last week.
Well, well, you know, there Matt, thanks very much.
There's a story in the Boston Globe.
I I have it uh right here, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Uh from the White House website, White House.gov, you can keep your own insurance.
Linda Douglas, who's gone, she split the scene too, by the way.
Linda Douglas, formerly of ABC News and CBS News and NBC News and um Radio Moscow and so forth, and the White House has now left the White House.
She was the health care communications babe.
But while she was there, Linda Douglas, White House Office of Health Reform debunks the myth that reform will force you out of your current insurance plan or force you to change doctors.
To the contrary, reform will expand your choices, not eliminate them, she said.
That's on the White House.gov website.
Now we move to the Boston Globe today.
Harvard Pilgrim cancels Medicare Advantage Plan by Robert Weissman.
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has notified customers that it will drop its Medicare Advantage Health Insurance Program by the end of the year, forcing twenty-two thousand seasoned citizens in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine to seek alternative supplemental coverage.
The decision by Wellesley based Harvard Pilgrim, the state's second largest health insurer, was prompted by a freeze in federal reimbursements, and a new requirement that insurers offering the kind of product sold by Harvard Pilgrim, a Medicare Advantage private fee for service plan, form a contracted network of doctors who agree to participate for a negotiated amount of money under current rules, patients can seek care from any doctor, but no more.
So, Charleston, South Carolina, no insurance policies as of now being written for children.
In Boston, Massachusetts, uh New Hampshire, Maine, Harvard Pilgrim, notified customers dropping Medicare Advantage, meaning they're dropping their plan.
You have no choice.
You're losing your coverage.
We warned you that this was going to happen.
Just as planned.
Obama said it, not just Linda Douglas.
Uh no, if you like your doctor, you can keep it.
Well, not if you are with Harvard Pilgrim.
You're out.
You are done.
All of the evil insurance companies are dropping coverage for children, single policies for children.
Now, we must specify something here.
Getting health care coverage after you are sick.
That is with a pre-existing condition is not insurance, it is welfare.
This whole pre-existing condition stuff has always been a joke because it's not insurance.
When we get cancer, oh, you have to insure me.
I mean you have to pay.
It's not insurance, it's pay that's by definition, it isn't insurance, it's welfare.
The insurance companies simply can't afford to cover people with pre-existing conditions.
Which leads me to a pretty good piece.
National Review today online, The Anatomy of a Hostile Government Takeover.
Sure.
Six months after Obamacare was crammed down our throats by the minority.
What do we have?
A pull quote from the story, massive bureaucracy, disinformation campaigns, blatant power plays, the politicization of decisions that should be made with a focus on patient care, the use of government power to threaten citizens, and their livelihood.
James C. Capretta or Caprutta, author of the piece, Obamacare at Six Months.
During the long national debate on health care, Obama frequently chastised his opponents for launching exaggerating attacks, exaggerated attacks on his plan for reform.
He took particular exception to the criticism that the changes he was pushing amounted to a government takeover of the whole health sector.
That's not what's happening.
Well, he knew full well this kind of criticism might derail the entire effort in Congress because most Americans recoil at the thought of a distant and bureaucratic federal government running the health care system for everybody.
So Obama vigorously denied that his program would lead to any such thing.
August 8, 2009, radio address.
Obama described the takeover accusation as outlandish.
He characterized his approach as a mainstream, moderate attempt simply to reform the nation's private health insurance system.
Well, it's now been six months since Congress passed Obamacare.
Not a long time given the sweeping nature of the legislation, a long phase-in schedule for its most significant provisions.
Even so, it's already abundantly clear that Obamacare's critics were dead right.
The new health law has set in motion a government takeover of American health care, and a very hostile one at that.
The Obama administration's clumsy and overbearing behavior since its passage proves the point.
And the piece goes on to detail all of this.
Every example of government takeover of health care to date, plus what's coming.
Thank you.
Toward the end of the piece, in the meantime, busy beavers in various corners of the federal bureaucracy are laying plans for new fiefdoms.
Thousands of new employees are planned for various offices at Health and Human Services, including the new office to regulate private health insurance nationwide.
The IRS is gearing up, both to enforce with tax penalties the requirement that everybody carry government approved insurance and to help administer the massive new entitlement program that will require income verification on tens of millions of applicants.
States will also be forced to build new bureaucracies to carry out the scores of tasks the federal government will be ordering them to perform.
Massive bureaucracy, disinformation campaigns, blatant power plays, the politicization of decisions that should be made with a focus on patient care, the use of government power to threaten citizens and their livelihood.
That's Obamacare at six months.
This is what Obamacare has brought us.
Just in its first six months.
James Capretta Fellow, a fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, was an associate director of the Office of Management and Budget from 2001 to 2004.
Ladies and gentlemen, this must be repealed.
Obamacare must be repealed.
Now the Republican pledge says we're going to do that.
They mentioned repel, a repeal and replace.
But have you asked yourself what is the real desire on the part of a lot of Republicans to really walk down that path and repeal this?
In the past, we've gotten lip service.
Oh, you want to repeal it?
Hell yeah, we agree with you.
Yeah, yeah, we're going to repeal it.
But then if you listen carefully, you'll hear them say, well, we actually can't.
Have you ever seen Social Security repealed?
Have you ever seen Medicare repealed?
Republicans are telling us, eh, yeah, we want to repeal it, but it may be very tough to do.
And they say, five.
Can't really do it until we get the White House back.
So is there a real impetus to repeal this?
Or is it just lip service from the Republicans?
Now, uh, people at the Independent Women's Voice have put a website up called the uh repeal the pledge.
And it's a site that people can go to and sign an electronic petition.
It's also there's no donate button on this site yet, so don't worry here.
This is not a trick to get you to separate from your money.
Uh these are just people who believe that the Republicans need to be held their feet to the fire.
Okay, you say you want to repeal it?
Sign the pledge.
Sign a petition.
You say you want to repeal health care, sign something.
Not some vague place.
Sign a specific petition that says you are going to repeal or make an effort to repeal health care starting for good in 2013.
The uh let's see, what is the what is the web address?
Darn it, I'll have to get I'll have some the web address up to Coco.
Because I just have a link to it here in the story, but it doesn't actually give out the address.
It's just the uh the link.
But it is a place where candidates will also be asked to sign the pledge.
Kind of like a no new taxes pledge, that kind of thing.
Now, a lot of people think this is all, you know, who pledges.
Who's gonna petitions, who's gonna do this?
These are mean anything.
Internet petitions, and I know there's some people want to get traffic to their websites and so forth.
But uh, nevertheless, uh people involved here do care about this.
This health care reform really is, we said it before it was voted on ball game.
In terms of you nationalize one-sixth of the U.S. economy, the amount of freedom that's lost, usurped, the massive growth of government to handle all this, the inefficiency with which it will be handled, the worsening Delivery of health care itself.
This is a disaster.
The whole regime is a disaster.
But I'll find the link to this website if you want to go visit it.
You might want to think about signing it.
It's a petition.
They're working hard at this site to get candidates to sign it as well.
Just to try to get some um feet held to the fire on this rather than just a bunch of words.
Yeah, yeah, we want to repeal it.
I gotta take a break.
We'll come back.
We'll continue with much more.
Still a lot to do right after this.
Don't go away.
Man, I tell you, it never stops.
It just never stops a mobile blood testing company.
I mean, for crying out loud, a mobile blood testing company.
What could be more compassionate than a mobile blood testing company?
A mobile blood testing company is believed to be the source of half a million California identities used to create fake driver's licenses and checks.
A Castro Valley man at the center of what detectives call a huge scheme in which stolen identities were used to create fraudulent employment and in-home health support checks that were cashed in safeway stores across Northern California, including Sonoma County, including Sonoma County.
They dared do this.
Northern California, I can understand it's Sonoma County.
How dare they?
If these people had had LifeLock, it wouldn't have been a problem.
LifeLock presents or prevents your identity from being stolen.
999 gazillion times out of two gazillion or whatever.
Nobody's going to totally stop it.
LifeLock does it better than anybody else because they have the best identity alert system out there.
It's ridiculously inexpensive.
800 440 4833 is the phone number, and you'll save 10% off this price, which is already low if you mention offer code Rush.
It's life lock, and it's a mess.
Somebody steals your identity, getting it back.
You know the frustration to go into the bank or any place.
And they know who you are.
And they say, sorry, uh, I don't know you.
My computer says you're not who you are.
So you know me.
I am a computer says you're not.
That's something you do not want to mess with.
Dan in Wichita, Kansas.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Rush, it's an honor to talk with you.
Been a listener from day one, homeschool data nine.
Hey, uh, just wanted to add to something that you've been talking about.
Um frustrated.
Uh we got a letter in the mail the other day from a big insurance company stating that we will be having our insurance rate raised 30% due to the new Obamacare and uh all the unforeseen things that are happening, but mainly related to the uh kids staying on your policy till 26 years old, and even kids that are married uh up to that point can stay on your policy.
Right.
Uh leeches you know, I was paying uh eight hundred and thirty-three dollars a month.
Now it's a thousand seventy-seven.
I told my wife the other day, there's there's just no way.
How can we do this?
I never thought insurance would be more than my mortgage payment would be, so uh it wasn't supposed to be.
It was supposed to cost any more.
It was supposed to be it was supposed to be free.
That was Obamacare.
It was millionaires supposed to be paying for this, Dan, not you.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's it i nothing is free, period.
It just doesn't work that way.
I'd say people are gonna end up hating Obama even more.
Let me tell you why.
Why do kids go to college?
There are a lot of reasons.
One to get away from their parents.
They go to college, get away from their parents, they go to go away to party, to go through the motions of being educated, they go through the motions of getting a job, right?
Parents love the kids going away because they want them out of the house.
Then Obama comes along and says, guess what?
You can keep your kids on your policy till they're 26.
No parent wants that.
No.
But it's been a blessing.
We've uh it was um a small business man, we run a lawn service, and uh all my kids run the run the business uh in in the summertime.
I don't know what's gonna happen here, Dan, because Kathleen Sibelius uh has announced the White House is not going to tolerate any insurance premium increases.
They're just not gonna tolerate it.
Have you called her?
No, I have not.
Well, call her.
I do plan out.
How much?
Snurdly get his number.
Before you hang up, Dan, let us get your number.
I want you to call Health and Human Services.
I want you to tell somebody to sub you won't get through to Sabilia's, but you tell them that your insurance company is raising premiums and Sabibia said it wasn't gonna happen.
And you demand action, and you call back and tell us what they said.
That guy called up and said, You were on fire in the first hour, right?
You were on fire.
I was.
And let's not forget I mentioned Hank Haney twice.
