Time Text
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back.
250,000 people in Colorado have been notified their health insurance has been canceled.
Just keeps piling up.
I've got a couple of stories about this.
One is about a San Francisco couple, fundraisers, supporters of Obama, who are being totally screwed by this.
And the way they're going to deal with it is try to lower their income so they get subsidies.
And they say, no, it hasn't shaken our opinion of Obama at all.
We still love Obama.
It's in a far-left-wing hack site called ProPublica.
I've got details coming up.
And then there's a couple in Brooklyn that are getting divorced to be able to handle and afford Obamacare.
So Obamacare is not promoting the economy.
San Francisco couple are going to try to get their income reduced so that they qualify for taxpayer freebies.
That doesn't promote economic growth.
And Obamacare is not promoting what would be the wholesomeness or cultural solidity.
Obamacare is inspiring divorce in order to hold on to health insurance.
And I'll get to all that in just a second.
Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday, I went through a list that I had from a health website, 13 myths, 13 health myths.
And one of them was that low-carb diets are bad.
Turns out they're not.
They're the best diet that you can do.
Another myth was that eating a lot of salt is a guarantee for high blood pressure and stroke.
Not true.
It demonstrably isn't true.
There were 13 of these.
And one of them was that saturated fats are bad for you.
It's a total myth.
And yet here we come today, the FDA, which is the Obama regime, has announced they're going to move to ban trans fat.
And it's one thing for Mayor Doomberg to do it, but here we have a national movement to just ban trans fat.
And what that means is that all kinds of food that you now buy is going to have to be taken off the shelf and reformulated.
It's going to become more expensive.
It may not taste as good.
There will be recipes that people will no longer be able to use because, for example, margarine is in butter, you know, margarine much better than butter in certain recipes, but it won't be allowed.
Won't be allowed.
And it's a myth that trans fats are killers.
These are the kinds of things that I just really resent about leftists and governments.
It's none of their business.
And they fabricate lies.
They convince people that normal living will kill them.
And then they move in to regulate the way people live.
And it's all done under the guise of caring about people.
Well, let me put this in context.
Okay, so the regime has announced it's going to ban trans fat.
The regime is also moving to ban coal.
The regime is also moving to ban private sector health care, private sector health insurance.
And all of this is done under this phony rubric, this phony claim of caring about people.
Oh yes, these big leftist socialist communists convince you that they care about you and that they have unending, limitless compassion for you.
And they know that you're too stupid to do what's best for you.
And they know what's best for you and they're going to force what's best for you in their mind on you under the guise of caring.
Let me tell you something, folks.
And I don't mind if whoever quotes me on this.
Government is not capable of caring.
Government gets things done through coercion.
They fine.
They penalize.
They tax.
They confiscate.
They jail.
They bully to get what they want.
They don't want you eating trans fat for whatever stupid, silly, none-of-the-business reason.
It's none of their business.
They shouldn't care.
And they're promoting a myth just like incandescent light bulbs are bad, just like coal is bad.
What's their solution?
Well, electric cars.
Well, how do you charge a battery in a car?
You need electricity.
Where do we get electricity?
We get it from coal.
We're not reducing our usage of electricity by buying electric cars.
We're not making anything cleaner by buying electric cars.
If you want an electric car, go get one.
But the idea that you're cleaning the atmosphere, preventing climate change, that's a myth.
It's a lie.
And it's all done not for compassion.
It isn't done because they care.
It's done because they control.
It's done because they want to coerce.
Okay, so they're going to ban trans fats.
How are they going to enforce that?
They're going to go out and they're going to demand private sector businesses stop using it.
If the private sector business doesn't, what are they going to do?
Fine them, penalize them?
That's not compassion.
That's not caring.
That is coercion.
That is the use of threat, intimidation, and force that most people are scared to death to oppose.
Who can go up against the government?
They can print money to hire any kind of lawyer or agent or team to come after you they want.
What can you do?
You have to acquiesce.
But they'll be nice to you if you do acquiesce.
But if you oppose them, then you become targeted.
Look at what Obamacare is doing.
Obamacare is hurting millions of Americans with even more millions on the chopping block.
And guess what?
The government also today announced the end of high-risk pools for pre-existing condition.
You didn't see that?
The end of high-risk pools for pre-existing condition.
Now, I don't know what that's actually going to mean for pre-existing condition, but they've banned or they've eliminated because it wasn't working the high-risk pool for it.
Obamacare is not helping anybody.
It's hurting.
It's causing strife.
It's causing stress.
It is costing people more money.
People are finding out they can't keep the thing they like.
They're playing their doctor.
And all of this was what?
For compassion.
It was because the government cares and the insurance companies don't.
And the hospitals don't.
And the pharmacists don't.
Nobody cares for you like Obama does.
Nobody cares as much about you as Obama and his fellow Democrats.
And to prove it, they're going to coerce you into living in a way they can control you.
All under the guise of caring, compassion.
Let's go back to coal.
They're going to ban coal.
Really?
What's that going to result in?
Higher electricity prices.
What's that going to cause?
Higher utility bills.
Do you think higher electricity prices help the poor?
Do you think people losing jobs is helpful to them?
There's nothing caring about any of this.
There's nothing compassionate about the Obama agenda.
It's made to look like it is.
They have a likable guy who's their spokesman, Obama, who can run out and make people think he cares about them.
But there's nothing compassionate about what Obama is doing.
Because what it is, is the infliction of pain.
Obama is inflicting pain on people via their health care.
He's inficting pain on them via their job in the economy.
He's inflicting pain on them with all kinds of new regulations that make it impossible to know whether you're in compliance or not.
So with all this pain being inflicted without care or remorse, the end, the FDA now comes along and says, guess what?
More head of your way.
We're going to ban trans fats.
Why now?
Why now?
Oh, because we want to make people think the government cares about your health.
That's what it is.
Yes, we're going to ban trans fats because that's how we show we care about you.
I know it's the Center for Science and the Public Interest.
Two people, three people with a fax machine and a logo.
They're the people behind us, a bunch of silly left-wing communists, busybodies.
You ever seen one of them?
They look like walking skeletons.
They're the people that got MSG banned.
They're the ones that got coconut oil banned from movie theater popcorn.
A bunch of busybodies, and it's none of their damn business what you or I eat.
But because it gives Democrats control over the way you live, they are supported.
And so now we're going to ban trans fats because you don't know what's good for you, and the government does.
The government loves you, the government cares about you, government really, really worried about you, not knowing how to live.
So we're going to take away things from you that you might use or eat that could hurt you without knowing it.
You're too stupid.
So we're going to ban all these things.
And in effect, we're going to be controlling the private sector.
We're going to be controlling the way people live.
Statists are experts at conveying a message of caring while twisting the proverbial knife in the backs of the masses.
They don't care for us.
They want to control us.
And they know it.
And that's why leftists and Democrats have mastered the art, the low arts of exploitation and manipulation.
That's exactly what they have done.
The FDA says it cares about us.
So it'll ban trans fats as soon as they can get it done.
And then they tell the grateful left that their mandated unaffordable health insurance choices were dictated in the name of caring too, and they blame that on the evil insurance companies who don't care about you.
We care about you.
And they don't.
It isn't possible.
A government can't care.
A government can only coerce and force.
A government cannot create wealth.
It can only destroy it.
And this regime may be the absolute best we've ever had at destroying wealth.
C.S. Lewis said it best.
C.S. Lewis said of all tyrannies, of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
People that are doing everything they can for you is the most oppressive.
And by the way, folks, I should point out, CNN right on schedule, doing a segment on is Christie an elephant.
Playing off the Time magazine cover, got Time magazine guy in there.
You know what's happened here, don't you?
The Democrats agreed to set out this race.
Some people, I got a note from a guy who lives in New Jersey.
He said, Russ, there wasn't an election in New Jersey.
The Democrats nominated somebody, but they spent a dollar on her campaign.
Most people don't even know who she is.
The Democrats sat aside.
The deal was Republicans get Christie, the Democrats get McAuliffe.
That was the deal.
It's done.
There wasn't an election.
And right on schedule, Christie wins.
And here comes Time magazine calling him an elephant with a giant silhouette on the cover.
And then now there's a book about Christie.
And then what a rotten person he is, basically.
So after they get him elected, and after they get him touted as the Republican nominee, here come the long knives from the people supposedly in love with Christie in the media.
It's also damn predictable.
I mean, the same thing happened with McCain.
And they never see it.
Keep nominating a Northeast moderate, liberal, whatever.
The same thing is going to happen.
I'm going to admit something to you.
I didn't have a chance to reply because, frankly, I forgot about it.
Jonathan Martin, who used to be at the Politico, sent me a note yesterday morning.
He's now the New York Times.
And he sent me a note wanting to know what I thought, what my take of the Republican Party and Christie's victory.
And I set it aside because I got it right.
I saw it right in the middle of show prep.
And I just, whenever I get a question like that, I always have an instinctive first thing that comes to my mind.
And I always do not write that and send it back when it's the drive-bys asking.
And I never got around to answering.
I mean, I didn't even get around.
I'm sorry, Jonathan, I'm not, you know, no comment.
I didn't even do that.
Now I'm feeling bad that I didn't reply because that's rude.
So I guess I'm doing it now.
But my instinctive answer was, Jonathan, I guess you guys have pulled it off again, picking our nominee.
And that's, don't rush, don't send that.
It may be right on the money, but don't send it.
You don't need to be making yourself a target right now.
This is too far out, way too in advance.
So I didn't send that to him.
So obviously it didn't end up in his story that ran either last night or today in the New York Times.
But that was my first reaction.
There we go.
The media picking our candidate again.
And who are they picking?
Somebody from the Northeast who is making everybody, making everybody understand he's not a conservative?
Christie at one time was.
At one time, he was very proud of it.
And he still says that he is.
But Anyway, I just, it's just so predictable.
Now you've got this book on Christie about what a really mean, rough, not a nice guy he isn't at Time magazine cover.
Right on schedule.
What's the title of book, Snirtley?
Yeah, it's but it's who?
Christy?
Oh, yeah, there's no question.
He's, I mean, he's an expert political animal.
I mean, he is of politics.
There's no question about that.
I don't mean to be critical of that.
I'm just, I'm just, no, look, I didn't send that answer to the New York Times.
I'm just telling you.
I didn't send it.
They better not print it.
I'm not saying it now.
That was just my first reaction.
I always say I never always step back from my instinctive reaction to a question from the drive-bys.
Excuse me.
Let me go to the phones because people have been waiting patiently.
This is Jim in Balsam, North Carolina.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Hey, Megadittos, Rush.
How are you?
I'm great.
Thank you.
Good.
Hey, I know this is slightly off topic, but being born and raised in Pittsburgh and watching Ben get harassed over the last course of this year and before and last.
What do you think of Jonathan Martin, Mike Tomlin picking up the left tackle from the Miami Dolphins and bringing them up to Pittsburgh?
What's your take on that?
You're not serious.
Absolutely.
You're not doing the Steelers with their culture.
You're calling here to stir things up.
You really, you want my thoughts of whether or not the Steelers ought to try to get the guy who accused Incognito of bullying him?
Yes, because he was the second best on their line, and he's got, just like the coaches there said, they hate to see him go because he had such a high ceiling.
Yeah, but one of the things I mentioned at the program began today, there has been a 180 on this.
Everybody now, even the brothers, the brother analysts on ESPN have come out in favor of Incognito.
They've done a 180.
And this guy, Jonathan Martin, is being trashed all over the place now.
Somebody walked down on a team, somebody who can't take it, somebody who's a sissy, somebody who's not sissy, but he just did the words coming out.
Ryan Tannehill, a quarterback, I thought they were best friends.
I don't understand this.
And then there's this guy.
I've got a story here that ran at mmqb.com written by Lydon Murtha, a former member of the offensive line of dolphins from 2009 to 2012.
And it prints out to like four or five pages.
And he starts out by saying, I don't have a dog in this fight.
I want that to be very clear.
I played offensive tackle for the Dolphins 2009, 2012.
But he just, this is a, this is the biggest atta boy for Richie Incognita.
He's the greatest guy ever.
And if this happened, he said the only thing about this he doesn't like is if incognito used the n-word that's over the top, but none of the rest of it is that Incognito, one of the team leaders, if they were trying to toughen this guy up, it's common for offensive linemen to pay for dinner when they're rookies.
We all do it.
He talks about how he was charged $9,600 for this.
This is just the way it is.
But there are a lot of people turning on this guy as a snitch.
It's fast.
Now, when I say the brothers on ESPN, not all the media has.
There are some in the media who you can tell come right out of Conflict Resolution 101, who want lawyers in there and who want the NFL to have new regulations and a national monitor to come in and monitor the way people are treated, make sure their feelings aren't hurt in the locker rooms, workplace violence and intimidation.
There's no room for that.
We've got to get rid of the people.
You can see, folks, you can, in the media in this country, you can see, if you know how to read it, you can actually see the cultural rock taking place.
I was kind of in a hurry because time was diminishing.
But look, the Steelers or no other team could get Jonathan Martin.
He's technically still a dolphin.
He's still under contract with him.
He walked out.
He's in LA.
He apparently, before he went home to his family in L.A., he went checked into a hospital for emotional distress.
Something was going on in there.
But it's amazing, just in the last 24 hours, there has been a huge turn shift.
And now Richie Incognito, two days ago, who was just Satan in all this, is now the good guy.
Best teammate, team leader, tough guy, a way to get the team to play together.
This is the guy that picks you up when you're down in the dumps.
This is the guy that gets the most out of you in practice and during the games.
This is the guy who sets the pace.
He's a great leader.
All this stuff is being said about Incognito now.
It's a marked difference.
And I want to, just a little time here on this story at MMQB.com.
This is Peter King's website.
He used to be at Sports Illustrated, and they gave him, as part of his new deal, his own website and gave him some reporters.
And he's doing a lot of in-depth stuff about the game, the business of the game.
And he got a piece here today by this Leiden Murthy, who played for the Dolphins from 2009 to 2012.
He got out of the game because of injuries.
And in this piece, he is adamant that there's no way Richie Incognito ever bullied Jonathan Martin.
And this guy's the guy that was there.
Now you got the quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
I thought they were best friends.
This is all news to me.
I never saw any of this bullying.
But remember, there are texts that they have, and the N-word was used.
And Mr. Murtha here says, now that's over the top.
That's not, but the rest of this stuff, I don't have a problem with it.
And he starts out by saying, I don't have a dog in this fight.
I wonder if Michael Vick does.
Has anybody heard what Michael Vick does he has a dog in this?
Does he have anybody know what he thinks about this?
Have you heard?
You haven't?
He says, I would be very clear about that.
I don't have a dog in this fight.
I played tackle for the Dolphins 2009 to 2012 when I was released after tearing ligaments in my foot and injuring my back, both requiring surgery.
I've since retired.
I'm happily working in the auto industry, living outside of Miami, went to college at Nebraska with Richie Incognito.
I consider myself friends with him and Jonathan Martin, but I don't speak with them regularly.
I'm not taking sides.
I'm only interested in the truth, which is what I'm going to share.
And he goes on to talk about how there's just no way that Incognito ever bullied Jonathan Martin.
In fact, he says from the beginning, when he was drafted in April of 2012, Martin never seemed to want to be one of the group.
He came off as standoffish and shy to the rest of the offensive linemen.
Couldn't look anybody in the eye, which was puzzling for a football player at this level on a team full of grown-ass men.
We all asked the same question.
Why won't he be open with us?
What's with this wall he's putting up?
I never really figured it out.
He did something I'd never seen before by balking at the idea of paying for a rookie dinner.
That's a meal for a position group paid for by rookies.
For example, I paid $9,600 for one my rookie year.
I don't know if Martin ever ended up paying for one because I was cut before seeing the outcome.
He goes on, and it's a piece that is in total defense of, except for the N-word comment in the texts.
And then Tannehill, about that, all these players are coming out saying, oh, Richie Incognito is not a racist.
I don't know what that is, but he's not a racist.
He's an honorary brother, in fact.
Did you hear that?
The brothers say that incognito is an honorary brother.
So there's a lot to be in a brother besides skin color.
It's the way you carry yourself.
It's where you come from.
It's how you live and all that.
I just find all this fascinating because I read the media on this stuff and you can tell, folks, which media people come from a full-fledged left-wing kindergarten through college education.
You can just see it.
The way they react to this, the things they want done about it.
You know, wherever some central controlling authority must come in and lay down the law, and everyone must be respected, and everyone must be loved, and there must be total respect and acceptance for people.
There can't be any workplace bullying.
There can't be any making fun of people.
There can't be anything that makes anybody uncomfortable.
We cannot remember.
It's just amazing.
We're talking about football for crying out loud.
I mean, look, there are just certain things.
You know, I played football for one year in high school.
That's not much, but it was enough to know what goes on when you are a sophomore.
You're eventually a rookie.
You're dirt.
It's just the way it is.
Talk to a buck private in the military at basic training for crying out.
It is how people are toughened up.
It's how you weed out people who can take it and who can't.
It is a man's game.
Football is a man's game.
It is meant to be played outside in the elements on grass, and there's nothing gentle about it.
And I'm going to tell you, these folks, I was in Houston once on the Rush to Excellence tour during the 49ers heyday, and the 49ers were in town playing the Houston Oilers.
So I was in the astronomy.
It was a Sunday after a Rush to Excellence performance the night before.
It's where I met the famous sports agent, Lee Steinberg.
In the press box, he came up and introduced himself to me.
Excuse me.
He sat down and we're watching the game.
He's representing, I don't know if he had Montana.
No, but he did Steve Young.
Yeah, he had Steve Young and he had Steve Barkowski from the Falcons was his first client.
Yeah, they both went to Berkeley together, University of California, Berkeley.
And Steinberg is, we're just watching the game and he looks and there was an especially brutal hit.
I said, you know, these guys are so tough.
I said, what do you mean?
He said, you and I, the average human being, couldn't take one play out there.
We wouldn't last one play in the trenches on the offensive and defensive.
We wouldn't, these guys.
And it's true.
That's why getting to the NFL is unique.
It's why not everybody can do it.
It's why not everybody's qualified.
It is a man's game.
It's a man's world.
And it is not common.
And feelings and making sure there isn't any bullying.
My God, the things that are said during the course of the game, it's just let these wusses take over things.
And I'm going to tell you, it's just going to be the end of toughness everywhere.
And you need it.
A nation needs toughness.
You've got to be tough.
Folks, I got hazed as a sophomore in high school.
And everybody that's played the game does.
You get hazed when you join a fraternity.
Girls haze each other in sororities for crying out loud.
Humiliate each other.
It's all in.
And now we've got this massive effort here on the part of these recently educated people to try to take all of this out of culture and society because it's not good.
It's mean.
And it hurts people's feelings.
As though there's some place in life where everything's perfect.
Is there somewhere you can go and live your life where nobody's mean and nobody's rude and nobody and everybody just peace and love and flowers everywhere and marijuana, wherever you want it?
Is that what it is?
My God, I think back sometimes, I don't know what's it when I worked for the Kansas City Royals, I was at many jobs, group sales, sales of advertising signage in the ballpark and the publications like the daily, the program and the scorecard, yearbook, this kind of stuff.
Produced the game starting in my second or third year in the scoreboard room.
Actually arranged and make sure all the commercials ran between innings, played the music, arranged first pitches, anthem singers, all that stuff.
And all of this required that I go in the locker room.
I had to go to Lockerboard every day, get three or four autographed baseballs for clients or whatever.
Do you know, walk in there, here's some guy getting rape and go, Mr. Wilson, would you sign me?
Get out of here.
You think I got time to sign a damn baseball?
Hell would you?
But I got to get it signed.
You want to hear one of the biggest tricks that was played on me?
Dick Hauser, the late, great Dick Hauser, was the manager.
The Royals had made the playoffs.
They made it every year when I was there, except for one.
And one of Hauser's best friends was Burt Reynolds.
And my job, which everybody laughed at, was to find the anthem singer in pregame entertainment and all that during playoffs.
I had one game I had to, the owner's wife, Mrs. K, wanted some singer to sing the anthem.
So, okay, do that.
And I had to escort this woman out to the microphone at second base.
I mean, you got 40,000 people, and she's on my arm, and I'm walking off with the woman, and the people in the stands are laughing at me.
Wow, you got a really big job.
Wow, you get to escort Marilyn May to second base.
Wow, how did you get this job?
I mean, this is life.
But that's not the big one.
Hauser is the manager.
We made the playoffs.
And a guy in the PR department, I didn't know it at the time, playing a trick on me.
He said, you know what would be great?
I said, what?
Burt Reynolds throwing the first pitch.
Yeah, you know, you're right.
Well, go down and ask Hauser.
Hauser knows him.
So I walked down to Hauser's office, and it was pregame.
It's a game.
It didn't mean anything.
The season is still going on, but we've clinched.
We know we're in the playoffs, but it's still, he's in there in uniform, and it's about 30 minutes before the game.
And I said, I said, skip, trying to be one of the guys, skip, you got a minute?
Sure, what do you need?
And I said, you good friends of Burt Reynolds, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Bert and I go way back.
And I said, well, I'm thinking here, we've got playoffs coming up, and I think it'd just be great if you could put me in contact.
I'd love to get him in here and maybe throw out the first pitch.
And he went on this tirade.
He said, you come down here for that?
I got a game that's starting in a half hour.
And you come waltzing in here talking about some silly first pitch in the playoffs and not even for a week.
What do you think I am?
Do you not realize what I got to do?
And he just went on for 10 minutes.
And I'm standing there shrinking in size throughout the whole thing.
And I'm thinking, gee, and then I found out later it was all a trick.
They put me up to it.
Hauser was in on it.
It was just, it just, this stuff happens.
But I'm going to tell you, all those people that I met, they're some of my best friends today.
I didn't walk out.
I didn't go up and complain to anybody.
I didn't go crying that the manager had yelled at me.
I just took it when I figured out what had happened.
So that's why this stuff that we're all getting worked up over here over bullying and stuff, it's just in a football clubhouse, there's equal power.
Not the coach is bullying people.
That happens too, by the way, which is also coming in.
You think I still sue some of those guys for bullying me?
Let me tell you something.
That story, the Hauser, that's nothing compared to some of the stuff the players did to me.
But what I figured out was it all happened because they liked me.
It wasn't the other.
It wasn't that they disrespected me, disliked me.
I'll tell you, it got so bad.
I know I got to go to it.
It got so bad at one point that I refused to go down.
I went up and I said, you know what?
Send somebody else down to get those damn baseballs autographed and I'm going to find another way to the field to do the first pitch in this because I'm not going in there.
I'm just not going down there.
And about two weeks, a contingent of players came up to my office, said, where have you been?
They're in uniform.
They're coming up into my, where you been?
I said, come on.
They dragged me back down there and everything was okay.
I wouldn't trade those five years for anything.
That's why I said I learned more in those five years, first five years out of radio than I ever did the first, whatever it was, 10 or 12 in it.
Okay, back to the phones.
We go to Rachel in southern New Jersey.
Hi, Rachel.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
First time caller, longtime listener.
Great to have you here.
Thank you for calling.
I wanted to call.
I'll just express my husband and I sat out on the election on Tuesday.
You sat out?
You didn't vote?
Okay.
You did not vote.
No.
I am big on, I talk, talk, talk to Mr. Nerdley.
I'm big on taking my three small girls with me to vote.
We've lived in Georgia.
We voted in Georgia.
We've also voted in New Jersey before.
And usually I tell them all about it, how important it is to participate.
And also, you know, life lessons.
I'm a homeschooling mom.
I worked for many years and then I just quit.
We have three kids now.
And it's really important for us to teach them everything that they need to know about the country and about what was taught back when and what should be taught now.
So definitely voting is part of that process.
And I couldn't.
Sorry?
Yet you didn't.
I did not.
No, we actually voted for Steve Lonigan.
I took them to the polls to vote for Mr. Lonigan.
And that my best, simplest way, expressed what the differences were between Mr. Booker and Mr. Lonigan.
Wait a minute.
So you didn't vote for Christie?
No, I'm sorry, I did not.
No, we sat out for that election.
Why did you say that?
I was wishy-washy about a wishy-washy candidate.
That's the best I can describe of it.
I've not heard that before.
I thought about it and I really just and then talked to my husband about it.
And he's, you know, he's a moderate.
Obviously, I'm not a fan.
And I frankly knew he'd win.
I didn't have a doubt that he would win.
So he really didn't need my vote per se.
But I was trying to think of a reason to go.
And my girls, they asked me on that day, on Tuesday, are we going to go vote, Mama, today?
And I said, I can't do it.
I can't go.
And then I even looked at the rest of the ballot, and I couldn't even get a read on.
I tried researching who they were, and I couldn't really get a read on his whole ticket.
So I just, and it was hard.
I told my husband at one point, I'm going to go vote today.
And he said, okay, well, do what you want to do.
And I just was delaying it, delaying it, delaying it.
And before I knew it, I had my three girls with me.
The polls closed.
And basically, I think part of it also.
What are we?
Trying desperately to keep up here.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm talking too fast.
Well, no, I know you've got limited time.
I understand it.
But were you able to vote for Romney?
Oh, yeah.
I did.
I held my nose on it.
I found reason.
Would you have voted for Cuccinelli if you lived in Virginia?
Interesting.
I have a sister-in-law who's going to sit out the election there because she said, what's the point?
And they're both the same.
And I talked to her.
I talked to her on the phone conversation.
And you told her to vote for Cuccinelli.
Oh, yeah.
I emailed some articles.
Okay, there you go.
She's telling her sister, vote for Cuccinelli.
She didn't vote for Christie.
Got to take a break.
You were right.
Time's up.
Fastest three hours in media.
We're already zipped through two of them.
But that's okay.
Because there's another one left.
Remaining.
Not left.
