Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
It's Friday, and I'm way behind setting things up here.
So you're gonna get show prep with the show.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Happy to have you along.
Super Bowl Friday here on the EIB Network.
I the inevitable.
El Rushbow, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, maha.
Rushy.
Admit it.
You wish you were like me.
Telephone number 8008.
Supposed to make you smile, Wendy.
It's a challenge.
Wendy's in for dawn today.
Wendy told me she wishes she was on the real housewives of LA.
Beverly Hills.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That's why she was cursing me through the glass.
I got the city wrong.
Here's a telephone number, 800-282-2882, and the email address Lrushmow at EIBNet.com.
What a comforting headline here.
McCain says centrist Obama, easier to work with.
Oh my gosh.
This is all about Egypt, which we will continue to explore today.
The jobs number is folks.
We are being spun like a big top on this, like you can't.
It's going to take me 20 minutes to explain all this to you.
But I'm going to do it.
I remember them telling us we're going to need to create, what is it, uh million and a half jobs a year to reduce the unemployment rate by one percent.
Now we've reduced it almost 1% with 150,000 jobs.
We're just being spun like uh like crazy.
Meanwhile, we got a genuine energy crisis out there as the second term of Jimmy Carter comes to full life here under the tutelage of Barack Obama.
Uh we've got a Washington Post story today.
Amid Arab protest, U.S. influence has waned.
Uh this is um this is Mount Egypt.
It's uh Mount Iraq, all kinds of stuff.
Plus, in addition to all that, it's Super Bowl Friday.
Now here's what we've got planned at 1 30 during the uh after the bottom of the hour break in the second hour today.
We'll be talking to Rodney Harrison, the uh future Hall of Fame safety, most recently with the New England Patriots now with NBC and the Football Night in America show pregame show on Sundays.
And we've got a couple of Pittsburgh Steelers players in the last hour of the program.
Now the Steelers practice will end at about 2 p.m. our time.
So we're floating on this as to what time we're gonna have.
I'm not gonna tell you who they are, because we'll let it be a surprise if they indeed are able to squeeze this in, if they're able to have time.
They have requested to be on the program.
Uh and then in the final half hour today of the program, uh, if things go according to schedule, we'll be talking to the Hutch.
Ken Hutchison, the Reverend Dr. Ken Hutcherson from Seattle.
And for those of you upset that that uh we don't have any Packers representation on the program today, don't speak so quickly.
I don't know where Harrison is on this Super Bowl, but I I can tell you that that the Hutch, whenever the Steelers are playing, is always for the other team.
Whether he believes it or not, so and he's uh he's raring and ready to go.
So we got a a uh a fun day ahead of everybody, and we'll also be taking your telephone calls.
The number is 800-282-2882, and the email address Lrushbaugh at EIB net.com.
Um, look at some of the headlines here on um on Drudge, and this energy situation is uh it's a puzzling one, and it's not exciting.
This is unacceptable.
Because Obama, this is all being created by Obama policy.
We're abandoning standard tried and true forms of energy production.
In place of this quest for non existent energy, green energy, windmills, and so forth and so on.
Try some of the headlines.
New Mexico declares state of emergency over natural gas shortage.
But there's there's more to that than meets the eye.
Thousands in New Mexico are without natural gas service.
The New Mexico governor has declared an emergency, orders government offices closed due to the natural gas shortage.
Now, this is a deja vu moment.
If we want to see our future, things don't change at the top.
It's right here, summer or winter.
Now we better be praying for only mild springs, falls, and so forth forever, because the left is getting very close to cutting off the primary provable sources for heat and cooling.
January 24, 2008, Governor Richardson.
That would be Governor Bill Richardson.
Issued executive order 2008-004.
This executive order from the New Mexico governor imposed a six-month moratorium on new oil and gas drilling in Santa Fe County and the Galisteo Basin.
The six-month moratorium will be in effect through July 24th of 2008, as stated in the executive order.
The governor is committed to ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of all New Mexicans, and to protecting the natural and ecological riches of the state, while supporting much needed economic development.
And now those same people are freezing to death.
Because of a natural gas shortage, there is no shortage of natural gas.
We've got it all over the place.
We just put a moratorium.
It's like we don't have a shortage of oil, but there is a moratorium on dealing with it, getting it, producing it, refining it in the Gulf of Mexico.
Now the new governor, Susanna Martinez, yesterday declared a state of emergency, ordered government offices to be shut down today, and urged scruels to strongly consider remaining closed for the day.
She declared a state of emergency for the entire state, urging residents to turn down their thermostats, bundle up, and shut off appliances they don't need for the next 24 hours.
Natural gas shortage.
There's no shortage of natural gas, is the point.
They just had Governor Richardson put a moratorium on it for a while.
Oh.
Because of course, what in the world is deadly about natural gas?
You can't smell it.
It's not a carcinogen.
We just cutting off our nose to spite our face or whatever.
Texas residents asked to limit use.
Outage in Arizona, San Diego shortage, usage at record high in Utah.
California utility told a cut pipeline pressures.
Futures gain on speculation of inventory deficit.
Shell oil postpones drilling in the Arctic.
Democrat Senator blames the White House.
Mexico cancels offer to send electricity to Texas.
And you know why?
Because they don't have it to share.
They need it for themselves.
They finally figured out, you know what?
It's cold in Texas.
It's also cold here.
So they're going to use the electricity for their own purposes in Mexico.
Obama's blocking of new plants triggers nationwide blackouts.
This is a question.
And from the Heritage Foundation, 103 permits in the Gulf of Mexico are being held up.
These are permits to drill for oil.
And of course, the uh the accompanying natural gas that goes along with it.
Look at this.
This is from USA Today, an alleged Taliban commander held at the Club Gitmo Bay prison camp since 2002 has died from an apparent heart attack after exercising.
See?
See?
This guy's in good shape.
They go through a lot of training.
So the guy goes out and exercises at Club Gitmo and assumes room temperature.
His name is Awal Gul, 48 collapsed in the shower.
Tuesday night after working out on an elliptical machine, pronounced dead at the base hospital after extensive life saving measures according to McClanchy newspapers.
Exercise claims yet another victim.
This time a prisoner at uh Club Gitmo.
Exercise.
Yeah, exercise worse than torture.
Um, maybe the exercise was the torture.
It depends on what this guy's predisposition was to physical activity.
To some people, physical exercise, if mandated, if forced on you, is indeed torture.
It always was to me.
Mowing the lawn was torture.
That's how my dad punished me, knew I hated it.
Everybody in the yard, everybody ever in the neighborhood had a uh a power more.
We didn't.
And one of these manual push jobs hated it.
That's how we got.
He didn't care how the yard looked.
Didn't care if we botched it, just that we were out there doing it.
Uh Mexico cancels offer to send electricity to Texas temporarily suspend this because of severe cold in Mexico's own territory.
Uh Mexico Federal Electricity Commission had said Wednesday that it had agreed to transmit 280 megawatts of electricity.
That's okay.
I mean, Texas really was not pleased uh to be on the receiving end of it in the first place.
Obama, speaking of energy, has tapped a big name.
What's this is a Fox News story?
Obama's tapped a big name to help sell it to the private sector, energy innovation, on the same day that Obama rolled out his plan to make commercial buildings 20% more energy efficient by 2020.
That's easy.
You just put the federal government in charge of the thermostats, and everybody either sweats to death or freezes to death.
Anyway, the White House announced that the president, Barack Obama, has asked President Clinton, who has been a champion for this kind of energy innovation, to co-lead the private sector engagement along with the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, headed by Jeff Immelt.
So Jeffrey Immelt and Bill Clinton are in charge of energy innovation.
As delegated by President Obama.
All right, folks, a brief time out.
Sit tight, we'll come back and continue here on the EIB network.
Open Line Friday, by the way, means, if you're new to the program, Monday through Thursday, if you're a caller, you have to talk about what I'm interested in.
If you don't, you don't get on.
It's that simple.
Because I'm not going to sit here and talk about things which bore me because that would bore you.
The audience.
On Friday, however, I take one of the biggest career risks known to exist in major media.
And that is turning over the content of this program to rank amateurs.
You.
Lovable rank amateurs, but you are not highly trained broadcast specialists.
I am.
And if you talk about whatever you want to talk, that's the rule.
You get whatever you want to talk about.
If I haven't mentioned it Monday through Thursday, it doesn't matter.
You can.
You have a question or comment, go for it.
If I'm not interested, I'll either say so and go with the flaw or fake it.
You'll never know.
That's got Wendy laughing.
Faking it.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Okay, it's open line Friday, and we're back having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I want to get into the unemployment news here, folks, and I want to tell you, I really wish this were true.
I wish everything they were telling us about this were true.
You know, I was uh going through all of this and remembering so many contradictions.
Do you realize we're into our 19th month since they say the recession ended?
Nineteen months into the recovery, 19 months since they say the recession ended.
Now we've got this job number, 36,000 new jobs.
Everybody says that's disappointing.
But somehow, the unemployment rate has dropped from 9.7% to 9%.
Now keep in mind, we are in the presidential election campaign season already.
And also keep in mind, no president, no incumbent has ever been re-elected with an unemployment rate above 8%.
So that's where we're headed here.
Now, we were told, before I get into any of the base numbers for this month and today's report, I want to remind you of this.
We were told one year ago, almost actually probably close now to um 13 months ago by Associated Press that it would take three million jobs, new jobs, three million newly created jobs to lower the unemployment rate one percent.
And based on that, everybody has, and and they were just reporting it, other uh quasi experts have said the same thing.
So many people have been taking that number and forecasting the future and saying, well, we're gonna get us back down to where we were around the five to six percent unemployment level is gonna take to twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen.
In fact, here's how it reads, January 21st, 2010.
Another way of looking at it, right?
Jean Janina Versa, the AP.
Another way of looking at it, a net total of about 3 million jobs would have to be created this year to lower the unemployment rate by 1% for the year 2010.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, in the last two months, we have lowered unemployment, the unemployment rate by 0.8%, almost a full point, with only 139,000 new jobs, 103,000 jobs in December, and 36,000 in January.
Now the unemployment rate dropped to 9% with 36,000.
So the overall, the number of jobs created is a thimble.
I mean, it's it's irrelevant.
It's almost statistically zero.
Yet the unemployment rate has plummeted almost a point.
How's this happening?
Now tell you we're being spun like a top, and here's exactly how they're doing it.
They have just subtracted 2.2 million jobs from the universe of available jobs.
And how do they arrive at the 2.2 million number?
Very simple.
2.2 million people in the last reporting period have stopped looking for work.
Well, we've told you about the U6 unemployment rate, the U3.
The U6 calculates, takes into account everybody out of work for whatever reason.
The U3, which is the standard reported uh unemployment rate everyone, like the 9% is U3, and that consists of people who are looking for work.
It does not count those who've given up, who've been looking for years and have given up.
It does not count those whose unemployment benefits have expired.
But the U6 does.
The U6 is actually up 17 point something percent.
The U6 is a it's simply a government categoration.
Uh categorization.
It's the it's the letter U-6.
I want to make this visible for those of you listening on radio, versus U3.
And that figure actually went up.
It's the more accurate of the two.
So even by virtue of adding 36,000 new jobs, the real unemployment rate went up.
17 point something percent.
The reported unemployment rate went down.
Almost one full percent, getting ever closer to the magic number of eight percent.
That's where the Obama regime is headed, if they can massage it and pull it off.
Now, well, okay, there is an exception.
Yes, FDR was re-elected twice with a jobless number higher than 8%, but that that's because FDR did never, he never squandered the goodwill that he had.
Everybody still believed he was doing his best uh with the new deal and to fix everything, and they had a lot of uh hope and change invested in FDR.
That's missing with Obama now.
I mean, he's I don't know if you've ever gonna recapture that.
So anyway, the bottom line is they just decided, since 2.2 million people have dropped off of the rolls from those looking for work.
They have just subtracted that many jobs from the universe of jobs available throughout the country.
Just 2.2 million.
Well, when you reduce the overall number of total jobs, you obviously are going to reduce the percentage of overall unemployment.
The way you calculate it for the U3 category.
But the U6 number continues to be the real story, and it went up over 17%.
There isn't.
So I say 19 months, the recession ended.
Theoretically, therefore, 19 months into a recovery.
You don't feel it.
You just know it when it's happening, and it doesn't feel like it's happening.
There are much more on this, too, plus a lot of other stuff on lurking away.
Now the unemployment rate of 9.0% today, that's the federal government.
That's a labor department, the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Yesterday, the Gallup people put out their story.
They count other figures, such as those who would like to be full-time employed, and they count them, such as in a way the federal government does not.
But I don't know who do we want to trust here, Gallup or or the Obama regime.
I mean, this is a toughie, but Gallup finds that U.S. unemployment's up slightly in January to 19 or 9.8% under employment at 18.9% at the end of December.
It was 19.
So it is not, it is not improving.
Um they they also have said, in addition to uh this this business that you you have to create what three million jobs or a million jobs to lower the unemployment rate of full point.
We've only had 133,000 uh uh jobs added.
They also say that uh 5% GDP growth to lower unemployment 1%.
We haven't had anywhere near 5% growth in the economy.
Now the AP is claiming that the unemployment rate that they reported today has gone down more in the last two months than in the last 53 years.
So they're pulling out all the stuff.
They're doing everything they can to make it look like the policies of our young president are finally starting to take hold.
After 19 months of sweat and toil, 19 months of fingers and noses to the grindstone, finally, it's all starting to pay off.
But it's not from the zero hedge website, at 64.2% the labor force participation rate is now at a fresh 26-year low.
That's the lowest since March of 1984.
This pretty much self-explanatory, the labor force participation rate.
It plunges.
This is the number of jobs in the country.
Now, I don't know where they get the number.
I must be honest here.
I look at this as the zero hedge website, Tyler Durden is the poster's name.
I don't know where they get the number.
It might be in the BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, I don't know.
But what he seems to be saying here is that the population is lower because of people dropping out of the workforce.
So those not in the labor force has increased to 86.2 million people, 2.2 million in one year.
2.2 million people who've simply stopped looking for work, meaning there are 2.2 million fewer jobs.
And that's how you get to uh 9.0% on their unemployment rate.
I would love to be able to sit here and tell you that this we're not being spun and the news is fabulous, and finally we've turned the corner, but it just doesn't seem to be the case.
CNN January jobs report disappoints.
And there's a little sentence here at the very end of their story.
Labor Department also revised payroll numbers for 2010.
Eight months were revised downward by a combined total of 298,000 Jobs.
Four months were revised upward, adding 83,000 jobs to the 2010 total.
Overall, there were 215,000 fewer jobs added in 2010 than previously reported after the seasonal adjustment.
The labor market typically needs at least 300,000 job gains each month to make a difference in the unemployment rate.
But I don't care.
There's no legitimate way to move this number down to 9% from 9.7%.
Remember, we're told this story says, well, you need 300,000 jobs, new jobs a month, a year to bring it down one point.
Others say a different number altogether.
AP a year ago, just read you that story.
But sadly, folks, it just doesn't add up.
And that's the scoop on the unemployment.
Every Friday we have to go through this.
And every Friday, we have to spend time explaining how we're being spun by our own government on this.
All right, let's grab a couple phone calls here.
It is open line Friday, and we always try to get to the phones earlier on Friday than we do, Monday through Thursday, and we're gonna start my adopted hometown of Sacramento.
This is Doug.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Hello.
Well, thank you for taking my call, Russ.
I appreciate it.
You bet, sir.
Um before I get to my point, I have to point out, because you were talking about the natural gas thing.
If you remember, Jimmy Carter outlawed natural gas and and prices just skyrocketed.
Anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there.
All right.
But the reason I'm calling is because uh you deserve total credit for Newt Gingrich's new book.
Well, I deserve total credit for a lot of things, but uh what in particular about Newt's book do you think I deserve credit for?
Well, his book is about Ronald Reagan.
And if you'll recall, it was a little over a year ago when Newt said the uh the era for Reagan is over.
Newt knew uh he did join that chorus for a while.
And the very next after after he said that, you land blasted him on your radio program.
And he had to retract what he said.
And he knows that in order to run in 212, he's got to take that back, and that's why he wrote this book.
So it's all credit to you.
Well, that's I look at you think that Newt wrote the book because I called him out when he said the era of Reagan's over, so he had to write the book to uh now in praise of Reagan to overcome this.
Is that is that essentially what you're saying?
That's correct.
Well, who am I to dispute?
I've tried to run a polite show here.
If that's what you think, uh that's what you think.
I I enjoy hearing the way people think.
Always have.
I very much appreciate your call.
I think it because it's a fact.
I think that he'll admit it if he has to.
You know, you remind me of Snerdley.
Snerdley, Snerdley is one of the most loyal employees, snurdly believes that I have only received about two percent of the credit that I deserve for a whole bunch of stuff.
So any time he gets a caller like you, he'll put you to the top because he he thinks he thinks that there's been a whole bunch of history revisionism going on out there, and and that I, L. Rushville, have not been given my due in certain media quarters.
And I keep telling him I never will.
It's not it's not gonna happen, which and it's not why we do what we do, but I nevertheless appreciate your uh uh your reasoning there.
You're obviously a man of uh considerable depth.
Thank you very much.
You bet, Doug.
Uh, and who's next?
Mike Falls Church, Virginia.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hi, Russ.
I um I'm calling because well, first of all, I'm a liberal, and I seriously don't understand uh this Reagan idolatry on behalf of conservatives.
Uh I'll get I'll give you my reasons.
Instead of privatizing Social Security, he raised taxes.
We're all paying higher taxes today out of our paychecks every single week because he decided to save Social Security.
Hey, hold it.
I need to go w way oh geez.
Um Greenspan Commission.
Um he signed it into law and it raised taxes on social security.
Wait, wait you're talking about Reagan or Clinton.
I'm talking about Reagan.
Reagan did that.
He raised taxes on Social Security.
He negotiated with terrorists, sending over and over again arms to Iran in exchange for hostages.
By contrast, Jimmy Carter didn't give an inch to the Iranians.
What one in the world inch.
Instead, the depth of my politeness here on this call, folks.
Say that again.
Let me ask you, yeah, a question.
Uh what do you think, given all this that you believe when you hear Obama and the Democrats cite Reagan as they have been doing since about a week before the State of the Union?
It's funny you ask that, uh, because as a liberal, I think uh Obama owes his presidency to Reagan.
They're both kind of stuffed suits that say one thing and then do another.
Uh Obama hasn't been anywhere near liberal enough for me.
He said he'd close Guantanamo, he hasn't done that.
He said he'd help people out with foreclosures.
I feel so on that.
Yeah.
Uh but Reagan, I mean, amnesty to people that were breaking the law and living in this country illegally.
He said, Oh, forget about it, just stay here forever.
He cut and ran from Lebanon.
How many hundreds of Marines were killed, and he just decided, well, you know, instead of fighting the bad guys, I'm gonna run away.
Why is Reagan a hero to conservatives?
Why is Reagan a hero to conservatives?
I don't think you'd given what you've said, I'm not trying to avoid the question, I don't think you'd ever understand it.
Well, he's a tax raiser, an amnesty giver, a cut and runner, and he negotiated with terrorists.
Why is he a hero to conservatives?
I I don't think you understand it.
Oh, I do.
Most assuredly I do.
I just I don't I don't think that you would understand it.
I where where did where did you get this silly notion that Reagan raised taxes on social security?
What what websites do you read?
Where did you pick that up?
Look up the Greenspan Commission.
It's not it's not too hard to find.
I mean, it's a matter of it.
Where did you get it?
Is the I mean you're asking me questions, I'm just reversing one on you here.
No, I'm sorry, it's just general knowledge.
It's something I've known for a long time.
I can't remember where I got it from.
You can't really you've never heard of a website called Media Matters, which highlighted it yesterday.
Oh, no, I know Media Matters very well, but that's not where I got it.
It's an amazing, of course I know.
Amazing coincidence.
They're a fantastic website, but why are you dodging the question?
I want to know why a tax raising, amnesty giving, cut and run in, negotiating with terrorist guy is a hero to the conservative movement.
Well, because you understand Reagan in a way that is flawed.
You I really you don't.
This is your your call is actually quite kind of interesting because there's you represent the impossibility of bridging the gap.
Somebody like you just has to be defeated.
Uh there's no crossing the aisle and finding common ground with you.
You are you're free to be who you are.
Don't misunderstand it.
I'm not trying to be insulting.
I'm just saying, you are unreachable.
You don't want to be reached.
You have you have this this picture of Reagan.
You've just described somebody you should love.
And you hate him.
You just describe somebody you should absolutely love all these things.
He's a anti-conservative, as you say, but you don't.
You you're having trouble understanding why he's uh viewed as heroic to uh a lot of people.
I I could talk to you about anti-communism.
I could you want to talk about amnesty.
Yeah, that was Simpson Mazzoli.
And that was one and a half, two million illegals.
And he was told, okay, if we're going to do this, this is it, then we're going to secure the borders, and that's it.
It's the same thing with every tax increase he signed, it was also accompanied by promises to cut spending, and it never happened.
Uh Reagan's not perfect.
Uh nobody is.
But I think the proof of Reagan is the fact that when your guys get in trouble, who do they seek to associate themselves with?
Remember, these people, Obama, these people are all about getting votes.
The fact that he's trying to surround himself with Reagan, the fact that he's trying to position himself with Reagan is the best indication anybody can have of what this country really thinks of Ronaldo's Magnus.
I think the if you want to focus in on hypocrisy, you've got far more of it on your side of the aisle to explain and and and dig through than uh than we do.
Reagan was forced to raise payroll taxes by a crisis in Social Security in uh in nineteen eighty-three.
And he he endorsed that that rescue plan that was written by Alan Greenspan, it was reluctant.
He was not a big supporter of that.
Remember, Reagan did not have a congressional majority with him.
He everything he got, the tax cuts, he had Democrats outnumbering him in the House and Senate everywhere.
There were certain realities that he faced.
But I mean the the the big biggest tax increase on Social Security was authored by none other than Bill Clinton.
But I don't do you understand the notion.
Ronald Reagan fought for America.
He loved America.
He feared where the left, based on history, wanted to take the country.
Ronald Reagan set the stage for the end of the Cold War.
Ronald Reagan defeated Soviet communism without firing a shot.
I don't know, but none of that would matter.
So you, sir, a nice individual.
I'm sure you're a fine guy, probably not too much fun at a ball game, unlike Bill Clinton, but still you illustrate that people like you just have to be defeated, not met halfway and gotten along with.
I mean politically.
You're guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, unexpected snowstorms, Super Bowls, where there are many more stories about the weather than there are the game.
Okay.
But that does not deter us.
And we're looking forward to uh in about 40 minutes, a bottom of the hour break in the next hour, former Patriot safety Rodney Harrison here.
Uh, in a, as they say in the rest of the media, a wide-ranging interview.
Rodney said he even wants to talk about my golf swing in the Haney Project.
Yep, I got it right there.
Uh, and then if things go well with the Steelers' uh practice schedule, we'll have a couple players from the Steelers' defense between 2 and 2.30.
That's the last hour of the program today, and the Hutch uh will give us uh his reasons why the Steelers will lose the Super Bowl between uh 2.30 and 3, the last half hour of the program today.
Meanwhile, Ron in Cincinnati, welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush, and it's a delight to speak with you, and it's my honor.
Thank you, sir.
All right.
Well, uh, my point today, Rush, is I'm watching what's going on in Egypt right now.
And I just have to wonder if uh we conservatives and we true patriots in America, if we might not have our own uh day of departure.
And if we could drive our election forward by whatever time frame, you know, we can get it done by and uh change regime here.
You mean like get a couple hundred thousand of us to go to Washington and say leave, leave, leave, and maybe Vladimir Putin will get on TV and say, yeah, Obama, you better get out of there.
You start to start something like that.
Is that what you mean?
Yeah, and and I gotta tell you, I would suspect that if we really had a shot at it, you'd get more than a couple hundred thousand.
Don't you think?
It is true, and I get your point.
I get your point.
We sh the Egyptian government and the world needs to listen to those people in the streets in Cairo.
Doesn't matter, it could be the Muslim Brotherhood, could be Al Qaeda, could be Al Zawahiri, could be Ahmadinizad, could be Bin Laden.
Lubarak needs to listen.
Meanwhile, forget showing up.
What?
Look at the election returns.
Last November has a message not been sent.
Look at the polling data on Obamacare.
And I'm not prepared to, by the way, to forget this.
