Time Text
Snurdley, have you seen this headline in the LA Times today?
Tell me if you've seen this.
Teen athletes with concussions should not do homework, Studdy says.
You missed that?
That's why I'm here.
I dig deep and I find this rot gut, stupid insanity, and I tell you what's going on out there.
Great to have you back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute, Advanced Conservative Studies, and the phone number if you want to be on the program.
800-282882.
I'm not making it up.
Teen athletes with concussions shouldn't do homework.
Don't these people know they're not doing homework anyway?
Teen athletes, teen anybody, probably not doing homework.
That's why I wrote Rush Revere into Brave Pilgrims.
Time travel adventures with great Americans.
Anyway, this story in the LA Times has been picked up by several drive-by media outlets, and everybody, you know, it we're laying the groundwork for everybody to claim they've got a concussion.
Coach, I just got concussed out there.
I don't think I go back in a game.
Coach, uh, concussion on Saturday night.
I can't do any homework.
Coach, uh, just I just got a concussion.
I need a nurse.
What's your mom's main name?
Oh no, coach, but bring me a nurse, a good looking nurse.
From the LA Times article, teenage athletes with concussions should skip their homework.
It's true, researchers say.
Parents should have their concussed kids lay off high-level mental activity, including homework and reading.
No video games or texting either.
I just you see how this stuff gets started?
The left gets on to something and they just don't let go of it, and they start ram rotting it, expanding it to the point of absurdity.
I got this email.
Dear Rush, you know more than anybody I know.
Could you explain something to me?
Is it possible that in the NFL, players could be employing a strategy of hitting opponents and making it look like concussions are happening, which aren't happening in order to get their opponents taken out of the game.
And the you might think the question is absurd.
Actually, it is happening.
But here's how.
It's the reverse of what you think.
Players, ball carriers, pass receivers, running backs, when they get hit, will make it look like they've been hit in the head.
They'll throw their head back, they'll do something with their head to make it look like they've just been creamed.
Even if they've only been hit in the shoulder.
Trying to draw a flag for an illegal hit.
Now that won't result in somebody being thrown out of the game, but it will result in a penalty.
And it works, by the way.
Because the NFL has the officials so focused on concussions and so focused on illegal hits to the head that very smart offensive players, when they get hit above the waist, are making whip light, uh whiplash like movements with their heads to make it look like they've been hit in the head, trying to draw a flag.
And it has worked in uh many instances.
Happy they get that question.
This is the you know players are inventive and uh creative.
They haven't found a way to actually create a faux concussion to get somebody out of the game.
For suffering one.
Now they have to do that for real.
I want to go to the audio sound bites.
This is this morning on CNN.
This is uh legal view at Ashley Banfield.
They're talking about the cold.
And they go to some reporter, Stephanie Elam, who is reporting from outside in Minneapolis.
Ashley Banfield is the info, The anchor edge.
She says, what are the circumstances there, Stephanie?
I keep trying to find a better word to describe this than cold because it doesn't do it justice.
They've even closed down the zoo because they don't want people thinking that that's an okay place to go.
Crime is way down.
The thing that they're seeing are more domestic issues, but the streets, there's no one doing anything.
It is so brutally cold here and bitter.
And it's not just the air, it's the air.
The wind comes through.
I've never felt anything like this before, Ashley, in my life.
Okay, now that was supposed to stand.
I've never felt anything like this before in my life, Ashley.
I have never ever exhibited Banfield, the info babe, blew it with this reaction.
I have.
I grew up in it.
And let me tell you, uh Stephanie, I know exactly what you're going through.
I had to report outside in 40 below, and my mouth froze.
And I could only talk through just a very it's just an unusual feeling, and unless you have been through it, you gotta walk a mile in those shoes, and it is very painful.
So hats off to you.
Don't hats off, you, but everyone else hats off to you.
Yeah.
She realized halfway through that that she wasn't supposed to say.
Oh, yeah, I've been through that.
It's not supposed to have ever been this cold before.
A reporter set her up perfectly.
Reporters out there in Minneapolis.
I've never felt anything like this.
Oh my God.
Oh my god, oh my god, it's so cold.
Even crime is done, they closed the zoo.
Actually, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
It's never been this cold.
And Banfield says, ah, nothing.
I've been through it all my life.
Oops.
She blew the whole premise by acknowledging this isn't anything unusual.
President Obama left Honolulu's joint base Pearl Harbor Hickam just before 9 p.m. with his daughters.
Michelle stayed behind as a birthday present.
I guess her birthday is on January 17th.
So the news says that Obama let her stay as a birthday president.
You think that's how it happened actually happened?
Obama system is, honey, you know what?
Uh your birthday is coming up.
And you know what I'm allowed you to stay here.
Think that's really how it happened?
What do you think actually happened?
Come on, Snerdley, take a stab at it.
Do you really think that Obama's a, you know what?
Your birthday's coming up.
Uh uh, I'm gonna allow you to stay here.
Mm-hmm.
No.
I just don't know.
I don't think she said anything about the Danish playmate.
You mean from the Mandela?
No, no, I don't think no, but I don't I don't no, I don't think she's staying because Obama allowed her to stay.
I don't think that's I I don't think there's any allowing uh going on here from Obama to to Michelle.
There may be the other way around, but I don't something tells me that that's not the way this all shook out.
Anyway, Obama's back, folks.
Right here says part of her birthday gift from the president, the first lady will remain in Huva'i to spend time with friends ahead of her upcoming 50th birthday.
Her birthday is January 30th.
I'm sorry.
I saw January 17th early.
That must be the day she's coming back.
Anyway, um so the story then says this is a French news agency with his approval rating languishing at near record lows and locked in a cold war with Congress.
Obama needs quick victories in the run-up to his State of the Union show at the end of the month after 16 days of rest in Hawaii.
Obama must oversee the final implementation of his troubled health care reform and find a way to help thousands of long-term unemployed stripped of their benefits.
That did happen over the Christmas break.
Um, some number of Americans extended unemployment benefits ran out.
They expired.
After four years.
yeah, it it can add up to four years of unemployment benefits.
It's 99 weeks, and then there have been some extensions added on top of it.
And some of them just ran out, and so now it's crisis.
So you have to extend unemployment benefits again, and the Republicans will go along with it.
Don't think that they won't.
And in addition to that, we've got income inequality.
That's the next thing Obama's going to be talking about, taking his cue from uh de Blaze de Blasio, the uh what is it?
I had a story about him too.
I just come to me.
Uh something about him and income inequality.
Oh, come on, mind what was it?
What was it?
Come to me during the break.
By the way, one more global warming story.
Just just, just, just, just one more.
It's about the Russian global warming research vessel that went down to the Antarctic area to find melting ice.
Not kidding, a bunch of global warming scientists had an expedition to Antarctica, South Pole, for those of you in Rio Linda, to document melting ice in Antarctica because of global warming.
And as you know, they got stuck.
They got stuck so bad that it took ChICOM and American rescue ships.
You know, this has to be a real dilemma for Obama.
The United States is the ultimate rescuer of these people because the ChICOM rescuers got stuck and the New Zealander, Australia, whoever the other ones got stuck, and it took the United States Coast Guard to go down there and get them.
And that's got to be embarrassing because that portrays us as the superpower.
And that's that's that's got uh that flies in the face of the Obama agenda.
At any rate, the environmentalist wackos, I kid you not, are now calculating the number of trees that must be planted in order to compensate for all of the greenhouse gases produced by the rescue vessels.
We have the original stuck expedition ship, then we had the ChICOM rescue ship, then we had the Australian rescue ship, and we had a New Zealand rescue ship, and we had the United States rescue ship, and that's a whole lot of global warming because of greenhouse gases, carbon emissions, fossil fuel engines in those boats.
And so the environmentalist wackos are now calculating how many thousands of trees will have to be planted to offset the carbon footprint of the prolonged rescue effort, which is not yet over, by the way.
Isn't this a great thing?
All you have to do to get rid of your guilt is start planting trees.
Man, what a great thing.
You go out and you pollute and you create global warming and you cause all kinds of greenhouse gases, and then to fix it, you just go out and plant trees.
The fanatics say they need to plant 5,000 trees to offset the carbon emissions used to rescue them.
5,000.
This is lunacy.
This is absolute total lunacy.
But you know, this is how Al Gore gets around his excessive carbon footprint.
He donates.
There are phony tree planting charities that you can donate to.
They don't plant trees.
They just say they do.
Thank you.
They send you documentation, they planted X number of trees somewhere with the money you sent them, and that gets you off the hook for using more than your share.
Or producing more than your share of greenhouse gases.
So 5,000 trees, and that's all it takes.
5,000 trees will wipe out whatever global warming damage the rescue Effort did.
Got a quick question.
How many trees do you have to plant to offset the stupidity of people planting 5,000 trees to count for the carbon footprint of the rescue effort of the lunatics that went down to study melting ice at the Antarctic?
And not only is the concussion news in the LA Times.
Experts say, Mom, Dad, don't let your concussed teenage athlete do homework.
Here in the Boston Globe, pulling an all-nighter could damage your brain just like a concussion.
Pulling an all-nighter can make you feel completely drained, cranky, and out of sorts the next day, but can it actually injure the brain?
Well, a new Swedish study published last Tuesday believes that it might.
There's a journal called sleep.
In the small study conducted of 15 healthy young men, they measured blood levels of certain proteins, and they found that after acute brain damage like concussions and so forth, the same kind of stuff happens after you pull them all nighter.
Now you think this is not absurd.
So no homework if you got a concussion and an all-nighter staying up all night.
Not even studying, it's staying up all night.
If you're a clubber, it's the equivalent of having a concussion.
See how this stuff gets started.
Yeah, that's right.
And then we need to come up with a new journal, Fear, and we have one page in it.
Everything.
Table of contents.
In the journal Sleep, the journal Fear.
Here's uh here's Eric in Rockville, Maryland.
Hi, Eric.
Glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network hi.
How are you doing, Rush?
I just want to let you know that I've been down to Antarctica.
You have?
Yes, I have.
I was in the Coast Guard from 75 to 79.
I made a trip to the winter north and a summer south.
And let me tell you, if they got three of them down here in the summertime stuck, I guess the ice is growing.
Yeah, that is a fascinating observation.
It is summertime in the southern hemisphere and Antarctica's in the southern hemisphere, right?
Yes, sir.
And that would mean that uh it's theoretically not as cold down there in the summer as it is in the winter.
And yet the ice is not melting.
In fact, more of the planet is covered by ice today than I for I forget it it none of it's melting.
None of none of the global warming predictions are happening.
I'll tell you, Rush, when we were down there breaking McMurdo's sound open to replenish the base, we actually play football on the ice in t-shirts.
And that was during the summertime.
What was the temperature?
It was outside temperature.
Oh, I think it was like in the 40s, 50s.
It could get hot up there down during the summertime every once in a while.
But yet when I worked for the Navy down there, I helped uh load a C-130 to supply the magnetic South Pole, the geographic South Pole.
Right.
And we couldn't get there because it was white out.
A whiteout?
A whiteout.
Well, you mean no black people?
Yeah, the snowstorm was slanty at the South Pole.
Oh, a snowstorm.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh.
And that's during the summertime.
Yeah, it's bad.
Uh what is the Coast Guard doing in Antarctica?
I've always wondered that.
I mean, we don't own it.
It isn't ours.
And I haven't seen, well, I guess there's a coast there, but what does the Coast Guard do there?
Well, what would uh we have the only icebreakers in the service?
Uh the Navy doesn't have them.
They would gave them all to the Coast Guard.
Right.
I didn't know that.
So we'd have to break the ice open.
It generally used two icebreakers to break it open.
We had the Burton Island down at the Northwind, which will obviously.
Hey, look, I've only got a minute here, but is an icebreaker the is it able to because it's got such a much bigger engine and more power than a standard boat, or is it the way the boat's made that makes it?
That's the way the boat's made.
It's got a roundish hole, it's like a football thrown in the water.
You get a little waves going and you can uh roll that thing big time.
Yeah, so it doesn't take necessarily a bigger, more powerful engine.
Well, it it's got some big engines too, and the blades are uh pretty good size, and that's why the round holds a funnel the ice that you are breaking away from the the props.
I've often wondered that about icebreakers.
Oh, it's fun.
It's fun.
It's not your normal ship, wouldn't they tell you?
You get into some rough weather and it rolls and it rocks really bad.
Well, it sounds like you had a phenomenal experience.
I mean I I can't imagine going to Antarctica and playing football in a t shirt.
I like to tell people Rush that I'm bipolar.
I've been both to the north and south areas.
Played football.
Yeah, see, there you go making fun of people.
That's exactly what's in the course in America.
You call here and make fun of bipolar people.
I'm ashamed that you got through.
We're back kicking off a brand new week of broadcast excellence.
Your guiding light, Rush Limbaugh, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Here is Cara in Ponte Vidra, Florida, 17 years old.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
Thanks for having me on.
You bet.
My pleasure.
So I heard you talking about the concussions and the study uh in um California, or it was in the LA Times about um high school athletes being discouraged for knocking like homework 'cause they have uh concussions and whatnot.
Well, I'm a high school athlete, I play lacrosse, um and I've um Wait, wait, wait, wait, well, ho, ho, ho, oh.
Did you say that you play lacrosse?
I do.
So that means your parents are rich Wall Street types from the Northeast.
Not quite.
Well, is that not right?
No, no, um, but my mom actually does work in neurosurgery at Mayo Clinic.
And so I hear a lot about um, you know, brain injuries and things like that.
Um have you had a concussion before?
I've actually had two.
Oh I mean, I've never gotten one playing my sport, but um I have had two, and I will say they're very um.
Wait a second.
You've not experienced you've not had a concussion playing lacrosse, but you have had two concussions.
Yes.
How did you get them?
Um well one I got ice skating and the other one I got surfing.
So yeah.
But um you hit your head on the surfboard.
Uh yeah.
Um yeah, I like it it hit the bottom of the like surface and then it came back and hit me in the head.
Wow.
Yeah.
Did it knock you unconscious?
Almost.
Yeah.
Um, but I mean it w I mean I was fine.
I mean, it definitely I mean, and some concussions are worse than others.
I mean, I have had um a friend that got a really bad concussion last season and um so like they it's different when you're in school than when you like receive one outside of school because for school they do they any contact sports they require you to do a concussion test before you start the season.
Um it's man it's absolutely mandatory.
Yeah, concussion pro what so give me an example.
What what kind of questions are on that test?
So it's like a um kind of like a neurological type um test.
What they'll do is they put you in front of a computer and it's about thirty minutes long, and um I've I've taken two of them and they're I mean, they're not too difficult if you don't have a concussion.
I mean, they're made it so you can pass it.
It's a lot of memory tests.
It'll list like a series of um like pictures, shapes, words, and then you have to um recognize like what um was part of that list or what wasn't part of that.
Yeah, it's not it's not an intelligence test, it's just it just to check how your brain is working for after you've had a concussion.
So you take this baseline test.
Exactly.
And what's happening is in the NFL, uh a lot of players are are however they're doing it, they're they're dumbing down the baseline test, meaning it's easier to pass it after they've had a concussion and get back on the field.
Mm-hmm.
Well, the way that like our tests are set up is like it's impossible to pass it if you had a concussion.
And like I mean to the they know that kids I mean, kids are not slackers.
Like if they're playing a high school sport, they're pretty devoted to their sport.
So they want to make it really difficult and pretty much impossible for kids that do have concussions in order to for them not to get back on the field.
Because I don't I mean are there kids that might want to slack off and be like, oh yeah, I have a concussion, I can't do my homework.
There probably are some, but I know but that means that if they can't do their homework, they certainly can't get back on the field.
Right.
So they're going to be extremely motivated to recover as fast as possible in order for them.
They I mean, maybe they don't care about their homework, but they definitely care about there's nothing you can do to recover quicker than normal from a concussion, right?
I mean there's there's nothing well that's kind of where I think there's a lot of gray area because there's a lot of studies that have been coming out recently, like the not doing your homework and staying I mean, because that yes, maybe not doing your homework, but that also applies to like basically staying in the dark, you're not watching TV, you're right, no Beyonce, no Jay-Z, no P. Diddy.
No.
I mean, it's I mean, so maybe some timber lake, but nothing beyond that.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, very low key.
Justin Bieber might be okay, but yeah, you're going to be.
Yeah, no no one direction or anything like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, so um, but I mean, I think they're starting to realize how serious concussions are because what a lot of kids do, and especially before they had the baseline testing, they would get out on the field a lot quicker than they were supposed to, because they're like, Oh yeah, I feel better, I don't have a headache anymore, and then they would get hit again, and your risk of getting a second concussion is much higher, and then the symptoms are much worse, and they can actually progress significantly beyond what a normal concussion would give you.
And I mean it can be almost impossible to recover from.
I mean, and it's I think the NFL thing is kind of dumb because any kind of like second concussive syndrome has been like disproven once you're like over kind of a certain age, but in teenagers it's extremely extremely risky to um get back on the field before you know, by definition in the NFL, you could make the case I would think that a concussion is happening on every play, just on the interior line.
I mean, those guys are banging helmets.
Um depends on you know how lax or how strict you want to be in in defining what a concussion is.
My uh Kara, just so you know, my my point here is that a concussion is a medical thing.
It is a real thing, it's a medical thing, it's defined in specific ways.
Um and it's treated in specific ways.
And it's now become because the left has gotten hold of it, the concussion is becoming a political thing.
It's being attached to a political agenda of of leftist activists who are trying to affect change in areas of life they think are unsafe and people are being exploited and so forth.
And that's that's the um that's the danger.
So a lot of things, a lot of things that are not concussions are now being labeled it could be, might be we gotta err on the side of safety and this kind of thing.
And it's a uh i i it it it's not about safety with these people.
It's about control and and dominating things, and it's just uh it's it's it's I think getting a little bit out of hand.
Leave it in the hands of the medical people, fine, but keep them insulated from the political people.
And you can't it it's it's very difficult to do that when you got the media involved in it.
But now uh well now let me uh you you've had two concussions, Cara.
Are you uh do I mean you you sound extremely bright, obviously you are.
You're very cogent.
So you've obviously recovered from yours.
Do you fear future concussions?
Is it is it affecting the way you live your life?
Uh not in any way.
Good.
Yeah, I mean, like I mean, I've seen it happen to people, but I mean, there's certain things that you know you can do to you know be careful.
But I mean, and but if you're an athlete, I mean you have to and you're playing a contact sport.
I mean, there's always a risk involved, but I mean it's something that you've chosen to do.
So I mean it's not no one's forcing you to play, you know, a contact sport.
Well, that's just it.
I just just be on I don't want to be an alarmist, dear fact.
I'm not the alarmist, but I'm telling you, there are people out there, Kara, who are trying to take the risk out of everything.
And in the process, they are impeding opportunity.
There's risk in everything.
You're taking a risk.
You've already had two concussions, and you've mentioned that successive concussions, particularly if they happen close together, are problematic.
Give them a half chance to sit you down.
They'll tell you you're two at risk, shouldn't be allowed to play, blah, blah, blah.
And they'll be doing it for your own good.
And you're going to run into this throughout your life, as long as you continue to play competitive contact sports, and even it's gonna it's gonna expand beyond that.
That's the problem with all this.
But look, I'm really glad you called.
I I I appreciate it, and I I wish y'all what do you want to uh you want to keep playing lacrosse in college?
Um, yeah, I think so.
I really enjoy it.
Well, you know, Duke has a good team.
They do.
They have a very good team.
Yeah, I um I don't know.
I'm thinking about uh maybe the University of Florida.
So we'll see.
Well, all the best to you.
I'm I'm really glad that you called.
Thank you so much.
Great to have you out there.
You have Cara from uh Padovidra, Florida.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Back to the phone, Single, Lebanon, Ohio.
This is Dave.
Thank you, sir.
Great to have you with us.
I've been listening to you since the days of the Magic Johnson stuff was going on.
I heard you on the radio.
So um I'm self-employed, I'm 52 years old, I've had a wife pass away.
I do a little ministry, I'm a builder remodeler, and I have a master's in music.
I'm not the dumbest guy in the role, maybe not the sharpest either.
But I was amazed by when this all this um Obamacare stuff was going on.
I listened to you a lot, other people, I did some reading on it.
It was just kind of funny to me.
I couldn't even figure out what the heck Obamacare was.
I have chosen not to carry insurance uh for various reasons, personal and spiritual and so forth, and that's fine.
I don't ask anybody else to do it, and that's what I've chosen.
So I thought was that.
But as a self-made and acknowledged sharp knife in the drawer, do you now know what Obamacare is?
Yeah, it was um I I I could not comprehend that much government control, I think is what it was.
And so as I as I was Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wa hold on.
Now that's it.
Okay.
Uh that that statement needs clarification.
You couldn't imagine somebody trying for that much government control, or you couldn't comprehend it working.
Yeah, I c I guess I I could comprehend them going for it.
Um I I look back at the Judge Roberts thing, I think I still look at that and I go, I will I would love someday to find out what really happened there.
I thought there's too many stops in the way.
There's too many things that people are gonna see, and it something's got to reverse this.
There's no way this could happen.
And so you know I'm yet it did.
It did, and it is, and as you and I speak, the regime is saying everything's fine.
It's now been fixed and it's working just fine.
They are lying through their teeth about it.
So that's exactly it.
I I I looked at it, I guess, I didn't realize until it rolled out the bronze, silver, gold, whatever.
Um I thought, well, I'd I've chosen not to go that route.
So it's really not gonna be.
I have to ask you another serious question.
I mean this one now.
I'm and I'm I'm not trying to be provocative.
I'm not being critical.
Do not misread the tone of my voice.
I'm I'm really serious about this.
You said you've been listening to me since the beginning.
And you uh I told you what this was about.
I told I didn't get a I you knew if you listen here, I'm serious.
You knew what a an abomination, what an impossibility.
You knew what this really was.
So I need to learn.
You're a member of the audience, and yet even after I explained it, you were stunned at what you saw, which tells me you really didn't believe what I was saying.
No, no, no, no.
I I believed everything you were saying.
What I'm saying is I couldn't comprehend the facts of what exactly was Obamacare.
In other words, once it rolled out, I go, Oh, they're you have to go to a website and you have to sign up for something.
But that's just I told you what it was.
It's not about health care.
It's about taking over one sixth of the economy and controlling everybody's life.
What you eat, what you drive, because everything you do has health care cost ramifications, which they now are in charge of.
Everything you do is now subject to government control because they are the health care provider.
That's what this is about.
Yes, and I I agree, I agree with that a hundred percent.
I am Rush, I'm self-employed.
I I try to live my life.
Um, and I I try to teach people around me and my kids about what freedom means and the tremendous responsibility goes along with it.
I have, you know, in my business I've been up and down, and every time I've gotten down and felt like a failure, I said, Well, I can either set here and feel sorry for myself, or I can I can get up and take responsibility and move on.
What you need to know is what you need to know is as a small businessman, the Democrat Party has succeeded in making a lot of people think that you're rich, always rich, you never lose money.
You've got a stash of money that you don't want to spend on your employees or on their health care.
You want to keep it for yourself because you're selfish and greedy, and and you are part of the golden goose that will never go away.
Yeah.
Oh, I I I'm I see that 100%.
I guess maybe I'm not communicating as clearly either.
I would talk to very intelligent people, and none of us really comprehended what Obamacare was going to look like.
We knew what it was about.
We knew it was about government control.
We knew it was about uh socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, whatever depth you go to there, but we couldn't grasp the facts of it.
What is it really going to look like?
Well, that makes sense.
They hid them from you.
That makes sense.
They didn't detail for you at all what you're you what you're talking about, okay.
You wanted to know oh Obamacare hits.
What are the steps everybody's gonna that's what you didn't know.
Yeah, and and and so now one of my reasons for calling is okay.
If I missed it there, what what in the next five years, ten years do you think?
Um because I I just assumed it was gonna be overturned.
I don't know if there's any more chances for that.
But what to what do you expect in the next five or ten years?
And I've heard you talk a lot about that, uh, but specifically I'm thinking, what are people like us who don't want to be dependent on the government?
Is there any hope for us, any option for us in this rather not?
If you have enough money, yes.
If you have enough money, yes.
There can be um people with the means, ability, and the desire are gonna find ways around this.
And doctors are gonna find a way to have patients that aren't using it.
They'll pay them directly.
There will be ways around, but not for not for everybody.
It's it's gonna be if if it if it's not repealed, it's gonna be like the British system.
There there are models that you can look at.
It's been like Great Britain's gonna be like Canada's.
There's a model for what it's gonna be.
It's gonna be broke constantly, it isn't gonna work, there'll be long lines, uh, it's gonna be an abject disaster.
Let me just let me give you very quickly, let me run through some things here.
Put something in perspective for you.
Three and a half years of World War II, starting with the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor, December 41, ending in 45.
In that three and a half year period, this country built 22 aircraft carriers, eight battleships, 48 cruisers, three hundred and forty-nine destroyers, four hundred and twenty destroyer escorts,
two hundred three submarines, thirty-four million tons of merchant ships, one hundred thousand fighter aircraft, ninety-eight thousand bombers, twenty-four thousand transport aircraft, on and on, ninety-three thousand tanks, two hundred and fifty-seven thousand artillery pieces, a hundred five thousand mortars, three million machine guns, two million five hundred thousand military trucks.
We put sixteen million men in uniform, various armed services all over the world, Africa, Sicily, Italy.
We won the battle for the Atlantic.
We won in the Pacific.
Three and a half years we did all that.
In the same period of time.
The Obama administration could not even build a website.
So what's Obamacare going to be like three to five years?
It's easy.
It's gonna be expensive.
It's gonna be hard to come by.
It's gonna be leveled with bureaucracy.
Getting treated is going to be an absolute challenge.
There are going to be long lines.
There are going to be disputes and arguments with your insurance company and doctor that'll have to be settled by the government after three months of reviews.
The evidence is clear.
How is it with the DMV, folks?
