Time Text
Yes, Rush is a little under the weather today.
He felt lousy yesterday afternoon, had a fever, had the chills, had all that stuff, and took to his bed early and wasn't feeling any better this morning.
So he is not here today, but he will be back tomorrow for full strength, authentic, all-American excellence in broadcasting.
In the meantime, this is Mark Stein sitting in and happy to be here.
Honoured to be here from Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire.
If you're heading this way, if you're fleeing the country, do swing by and drop in because we always love to see you.
You can't miss us.
They've got a big sign up on the highway saying last Rush guest host before the border.
So always happy to see you.
And I have been talking, I was talking in the first hour about this ridiculous sign I was looking at and waiting to be seen by a doctor for an hour in the doctor's waiting room.
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, achieves the impossible.
And I was talking about what it means to be reduced to a republic of hope under a president of hope and a governing party of hope, which is what has happened to the United States over the last five years.
Hope isn't enough.
Hope won't cut it.
Hope is for losers.
Hope is passive.
Hope is lying on the floor listening to your hair grow and hoping that something is going to happen.
In the end, you have to get off the floor and you have to make it happen.
And that's what we've been talking about on the show today.
By the way, I had no idea how many Rush listeners were also Lindsay Lohan fans because I received a lot of comments that I got the name wrong of the Herbie the Volkswagen movie in which Miss Lohan starred.
It was not Herbie Rides Again.
It was Herbie Fully Loaded.
That's the one I was talking about where Herbie is on a date with a Ford probe or whatever it is.
And don't please, if it's not a Ford probe, if it's a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic, there's no need to bombard me with email.
I don't pretend to be a scholar of Lindsay Lohan's Herve.
But Herbie is making out with the Ford probe as Lionel Ritchie sings, Hello, is it me you're looking for?
And that is, in fact, Herbie Fully Loaded.
Herbie Rides Again.
I had no idea.
HR just told me his grandfather appears in Herbie Rides Again.
He plays a lawyer in Herbie Rides Again.
That's from the original Golden Age series of Herbie the Volkswagen movies.
You know, the ones that they're like up there in the Hollywood Golden Age with Casablanca and Gone with the Wind and Gold Diggers of 1935 and Herbie Rides Again from that period.
It was basically the period between sort of Mary Poppins and the jungle book and the little mermaid when for 20 years Herbie the Volkswagen was the only thing keeping the Disney Corporation afloat.
They had nothing going for them except Herbie the Volkswagen.
And HR was who was in Herbie Rides Again?
Helen Hayes was in her...
Wow, that is...
Next you'll be telling me Laurence Olivier did the voice of Herbie the Volkswagen in Herbie Rides Again.
That is amazing.
That is amazing.
Herbie Rides Again, it's a classic.
They're doing, by the way, I believe on Turner Classic Movies tonight, they're doing a whole Herbie marathon.
It's starting at 8 and it goes all the way through till 5 in the morning.
So you won't want to miss that.
So that's Herbie Rides Again.
I should have mentioned, by the way, I talk about O Canada because HR couldn't imagine what it was like to live in a country in which the national anthem has lyrics in both English and French.
The French lyrics of O Canada, O Canada, Ter de Nozaille, predates, actually predates the English lyric to O Canada.
So O Canada is in fact originally a French song that the English Canadians just culturally appropriated.
There was a poll a few years ago in which they polled Americans and 72% of America, I forget the exact numbers, but this is the upshot of the poll.
Something like 72% of Americans knew the first line of the Star Spangled Banner, which is HR, first line of the Star Spangled Banner.
Oh, I'm reassured.
O Seika Newsi, that's right.
First line of the Star Spangled Banner, 72% of Americans knew the first line of the Star Spangled banner, but only 43% of Canadians knew the first line of O Canada, which is pretty dismal when you consider that the first line of O Canada is in fact O Canada.
But that was this poll.
That was the poll that showed how much more Americans were attracted to the Star Spangled Banner than Canadians apparently are to O Canada.
But the French lyric was the original lyric.
And when I was protesting that, when I was protesting that Coke commercial in which everyone sang America the Beautiful in different languages, a master of tweets called Black Jack Charles has just tweeted, hey, and then he uses a synonym for the posterior.
We welcome multiculturalism, got it?
Shut thee, and then he uses a synonym for the activity of fornication, up.
And I was roaring my head off.
This guy, Black Jack Charles, demonstrating his mastery.
He's singing the praises of a multilingual commercial by using four-letter words.
Look, I'm not opposed to other cultures and other languages.
I speak more languages than Barack Obama, which actually isn't that difficult because he only speaks one.
And then he goes to Vienna and stands up and regrets that he doesn't speak any Austrian.
And then he tells people, this is a guy with the world's most, he's got a million dollars of education from his original college in wherever it was, Los Angeles.
And then he goes to Columbia and then he goes to Harvard Law School and he's had a million dollars of education and he can't ask somebody in France where the toilet is.
So don't tell me about multiculturalism.
I speak more languages than the supposedly multicultural citizen of the world president who went and told all those people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin that he was a citizen of the world.
I speak more languages than him.
And you guys have no idea because I've lived in multicultural societies.
I've lived in bilingual societies.
You guys have no idea what you're in for.
You don't understand.
You don't understand.
And it's ridiculous having to explain this, to talk about being multilingual and bilingual to a guy called Blackjack Charles who can only grunt in four-letter words, a guy who isn't even lingual.
You have no idea, those of us who have lived in those kinds of societies, of how precious a societal glue is, what holds you together, and how easy it is to actually dissolve that without even knowing it.
And it's not a small thing when a unilingual society, for no good reason, decides to become a bilingual society.
It's not something that anyone should do lightly.
It's a question of embracing an entirely unnecessary balkanization.
And these things happened for historic reasons.
There's a French-speaking province in an English-speaking country up north because the French were defeated at the Battle of Montreal and a continent changed hands.
At that surrender, the French were defeated at the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City.
And when they ran down the French flag in the city of Montreal and they ran up the Union Jack, a continent changed hands.
And because of that, you're stuck with certain historical consequences, like a French province in an otherwise English-speaking country.
And you live with it the best you can.
But the idea that you'd willingly embrace that fate, that you'd volunteer for that fate, is insane.
It's absolutely insane.
And that gets to this, that brings us to John Boehner, the guy who won't pick fights he can't win and instead likes to pick fights that America loses, is now talking about comprehensive immigration reform and getting a bill done this year.
And by the way, comprehensive immigration reform, comprehensive anything reform, comprehensive healthcare reform, the minute it's what got the word comprehensive in, you should basically take that thing, take it out to the shooting range, and riddle it full of bullets till it looks like a Swiss cheese.
Because no respectable law is comprehensive.
That's why none of the laws are comprehensible.
Comprehensive is a synonym for incomprehensible.
It leads to multi-thousand-page bills that wily Democrats and their allies in the hyper-regulatory state will be able to drive a truck through.
And so now we're being told, now we're being told that if Republicans signal their willingness to go for a comprehensive immigration reform bill, Democrats may concede on the issue of citizenship for most illegal immigrants and will accept a less generous bill that will pass Congress with Republican support.
So in other words, if Democrat, if your standard is citizenship for everyone immediately, a clear pathway to citizenship for everyone immediately, or no immigration reform at all, you are going to get no immigration reform at all.
Representative Luis Guterres, an Illinois Democrat who's been fighting for a broad immigration bill for years, said on Friday as he briefed reporters.
So he's now hinted in recent months that a solution short of citizenship may be necessary.
You know, this is all rubbish, and the Republicans are being set up as usual to play the suckers, to be the saps of the game.
For a start, nobody gets citizenship immediately.
The minute if you get a green card, the clock starts ticking, and five years after a green card, you can apply for citizenship.
That's how it works.
So the idea that these guys would get a green card or some form of legal presence in the United States on a Monday and be applying for citizenship on Tuesday is ridiculous.
There's no such provision in United States law.
They would have to undergo the same five-year thing that everybody else who emigrates legally to this country goes to.
Now, the Republicans are proposing that somehow, are putting it about that somehow Democrats can, in fact, pull back and not offer a pathway to citizenship to these to illegal immigrants.
And that's absolutely ridiculous.
That will not withstand the first Democrat-appointed judge that it comes up against.
The idea, or Republican, in fact, because it's like it makes a nonsense of the law.
Once you've given somebody an amnesty and you've said they have some kind of Legal presence in the United States.
The idea that you can then artificially withhold citizenship from them is a complete non-starter.
It's never going to fly with any.
You can see it now.
You can see all these people, Representative Gutierrez, Nancy Pelosi.
That's not who we are as Americans.
We don't say, oh, yes, if you're a businessman from Germany and you come and live in New York City and open up a big company in America, you can become a U.S. citizen in five years.
But if you're some poor minimum wage seasonal agricultural worker who's slaving away in the fields all day, no, you won't be allowed to get on a pathway to citizenship.
That won't survive its first contact with a U.S. judge.
So anytime Republicans are talking about that as somehow some big concession from the Democrats, that's no concession at all.
No concession at all.
It's complete nonsense from beginning to end.
And if John Boehner has seriously picked that fight, because he thinks the guy who won't fight, who barely fights at all, because he thinks that's a fight he can win.
He can somehow maneuver into Democrats conceding and giving up the pathway to citizenship for the 30 million illegals or whatever it is, that is not going to survive its first contact with a U.S. judge.
And once again, the Republicans, and more to the point, their voters and their base are being suckered by this thing.
Mark Stein, Inforush.
We'll take your calls straight ahead.
America's number one radio show, The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Let's go to Eddie in Elko, Nevada, home of Harry Reid's federally subsidized cowboy poetry festival.
Eddie, great to have you on the show with us.
Hey, Mark, thank you.
Yeah, the cowboys are in full force out here.
It's kind of weird.
Every time you see them at the gas station, you're like, hey, are you here for the, and they're like, yep.
So pretty interesting.
So the cow, the entire economy is now dependent on the federally funded cowboy poetry.
I love, oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam and the federal check comes in the mail.
Who would ever thought the American cowboy would be reduced to the federal doll?
What's on your mind, Eddie?
Well, when I was listening to you talk earlier in the show about this, the premise of hope when you were looking at that poster.
And, you know, I work for a delivery service and I deliver to a lot of rural areas.
And a specific area that I deliver to is an Indian reservation.
And in my business, having street signs, street signs and a decent road are very imperative because of the area that I'm at.
And I was speaking with a few of the folks in that area, and I was like, hey, you know, what would be great is if you guys had some sort of street signs because it's driving me absolutely nuts, no point intended, that I can't find half of these packages, the locations for the packages I have to deliver.
And then they complain.
And it just kind of was an epiphany to me that the culture that's being created, because they literally said, well, we're waiting for money from the government before we can get street signs.
And it just made me sick to my stomach, Mark, that the culture that the Democrats are creating, it's not a proactive one.
You know, hope, you know, there's an opposite to everything.
And the opposite of hope is action, in my opinion.
I mean, if I sit around and I hope that my welfare check comes in today, or I hope that my food stamps get deposited today, or I hope that the front door gets fixed on my rental, my low-income rental, so that the heat doesn't escape that I'm not paying for anyway.
To me, that just means that you're sitting on your butt and you're not doing anything.
And just to kind of, in a nutshell, just to say, I know there's a lot of liberals that listen to the Rush program, and I can just say this wholehearted to the entire country, and I can't believe I'm speaking to the entire country, basically.
Get off your butt.
Instead of collecting a check, a welfare check, waiting for something in the mail without earning it, wait for a pay stub.
Wait for, I don't know, being approved for college and go earn it.
Go earn your money.
Work hard like the rest of us that get on our bus every day at 4 o'clock in the morning and earn a living.
What are you waiting for?
You put it very well, Eddie, when you say that hope is the opposite of action.
And it's true.
To go back to those towns in Western Iraq I was driving through that I was talking about a couple of hours ago.
If you go through, in Arab, Arab culture is very fatalistic.
People sit around saying, well, if Allah wills it, you know, so to go back to the points you were making, why aren't there any street signs?
Well, if Allah wills it.
And once that kind of fatalism, that inactive fatalism takes hold here, Obama in his first so-called State of the Union in January 2009 quoted a girl who'd written to him from some school in North Carolina saying they had peeling paint and the windows rattled because a train went by.
This is a school, this is in a town with able-bodied men with a high level of unemployment.
And she's asking for some kind of federal grant system that will put a coat of paint on the walls of her school or seal the windows.
Well, why can't the parents of the children in that school get together and repaint the rooms?
Why can't they get together and seal the windows?
Why does that require a commissar of education in Washington, D.C., who will arrange a federal painting program from Maine to Hawaii?
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Even if you thought it was a good idea, it wouldn't work.
And the coup and the absolute coup de grace of that bit that Obama quoted was when he talked about this young girl's hopes goes, all we want to do is get an education so we can go on and change the world.
Who the hell do you think you are talking about changing the world when you can't even get someone to paint your classroom?
Instead of changing the world, changing the nation, why not try changing, no, or even changing the state or the county?
Why not just try changing things in your little broken down town?
Who would hire someone to change the world who can't even organize the painting, the painting of a schoolhouse?
And Eddie in Elko, Nevada, is absolutely right.
That that kind of passivity, that kind of fatalism, that kind of, you know, yes, we've got problems, but there's nothing that petitioning the benign King Barack in Barackingham Palace in Washington, D.C. to set up a federal program that will lead to someone sending us a federal grant that will enable something for us in broken down Gulch, Nevada, to put up a street sign is absolutely crazy.
What Tocqueville about the United States was that small towns govern themselves.
That's why they didn't need George III.
George III was the Barack Obama of his day, the most enlightened ruler on the planet.
And nonetheless, people in self-governing townships In the eastern seaboard colonies, the United States decided they didn't need George III because they could make it happen themselves.
And like he said, the opposite of hope is action.
Yes, Rush is not feeling too well today.
He woke up feeling lousy.
He will be back tomorrow, 12 noon Eastern for the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Don't forget, you can go to rushlimbaugh.com.
And if you're a 24-7 Rush subscriber, you can get Rush in any medium you fancy.
Him, you can get transcripts, you can get audio, you can get video from the old TV show, and you don't have to be discombobulated by any sinister foreign guest hosts.
I mentioned that school in Colorado that denied they've got some lousy old school spirit week or something, and the kids wanted to have a Celebrate America Day where everybody came to school in red, white, and blue clothing.
And the school nicks that because it would be offensive to non-Americans.
At the other end of the spectrum, this new guy in New York, the fellow who flopped out on all the snow removal at the first big storm of his administration, this guy, Mayor de Blasio, he's going to close schools, New York City schools, for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year.
What is the Lunar New Year and the regular New Year?
Is that the year when all the werewolves get together and have the big howling thing?
The Lunar New Year and two Muslim holidays, anyway.
Ayd al-Fitr and Ayd al-Ada, which are the two big Muslim holy days.
And so they're going to be, the New York City schools are going to be closed for Muslim holidays.
He's not going to close it for the Hindu festival of Diwali.
Tough luck, Hindus.
Your lobby groups aren't as aggressive about these things as the Muslim groups.
So it's going to be closed for Muslim holidays, but not for Hindu holidays.
That's in the New York City schools.
And the funniest thing, by the way, just to go back to this thing that Hillary Clinton is doing now, because nobody has learned, no matter how long Americans stay at school, because now we got, it's like longer and longer and long.
It takes six years or whatever to complete a bachelor's degree.
People are at school, people are at school until they're 30.
And no matter how long they're in school, they don't seem, what with all the Muslim holidays, they're not learning as much as they are.
And that's why we've got to have this mandatory government preschool that Republicans across the country are as supportive of as Democrats, which is astonishing, really.
Astonishing.
And why Hillary Clinton has started this outreach toward Hispanic families to encourage them to read, sing, and talk more to their young children, because Hispanics are a third less likely to have songs sung to them than white non-Latino children, according to a report by the Robert McCormick Foundation.
I wonder what the statistics are for singing to Muslim children in the New York City school.
Anyway, what I like most about this Hillary Clinton story is that it's part of something called the Too Small to Fail campaign, which is started by the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation last year, the Too Small to Fail campaign.
So you have the next president of the United States, the designated, the officially designated president in waiting, going around.
This, by the way, is a woman that the deputy ambassador in Libya couldn't get on the phone after his ambassador had been killed, and he's frantically calling his boss, the Secretary of State, in Washington, and she won't take his call.
It's the famous 3 a.m. call of her campaign commercial, and she's not taking it.
But the woman who couldn't stop the ransacking on her watch, the ransacking of American sovereign territory across North Africa and the Middle East is instead launching the Too Small to Fail campaign in which she encourages Hispanic parents to sing songs to their children before they go to preschool.
That is in a microcosm what is everything that is wrong with our contemporary politics.
That somehow we measure the colossi of the age, not on whether they can defend America's interests when an armed gang is perpetrating an act of war on U.S. sovereign territory in Benghazi, but whether they can launch a program to encourage parents to sing songs to three-year-olds.
That is what the next presiding genius of the United States government is talking up today as part of her latest project, part of what she calls the Too Small to Fail campaign.
I think we just have Hillary Clinton's campaign solution slogan.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, 2016, too small to fail.
Let's go to Zach in Fort Bragg.
Zach, you're live on the Russian Emboss Show.
Great to have you with us.
How are you doing?
This is Zach.
You got me all kinds of fired up.
I can't even lie to you.
But there's three topics I want to hit on in particular.
I'm an active duty paratrooper stationed at Fort Bragg.
And you were talking earlier about the hope.
Well, basically, what that comes down to for me is, you know, you've got Al-Qaeda flags flying over buildings that we built.
You know what I'm saying?
Over there in Iraq and everything else.
And these men check fly so much.
So much.
And, you know, the American people just have hope.
And in my opinion, it's like your last caller said, it's lack of action.
Now, this hope that everybody has, it's more or less that it's just going to go away, in my opinion.
They just hope that everything that we've given will go away.
Right.
This bad thing just, you know, it just didn't happen.
No.
These men and women are motivated, motivated, and want to be there.
And the same thing in Afghanistan.
We're pulling out and we want to be there.
We want to finish what we started.
Right.
So many people have died.
So many people have given everything so that, you know, Americans can enjoy the freedoms at home.
So that we don't have to worry about, you know, September 11th, version 2.
And America just hopes that all of that stuff will go away.
They can't accept reality.
They can't face reality.
No.
You're right, Zach.
And you make a very good point.
I mean, that is an absolutely piercing point about the insanity of what is happening in Iraq right now.
That in those towns, those al-Qaeda flags that I talked about, as you say, they're flying over buildings that you guys built.
Because America didn't go in there just to turn the thing into a sheet of glass or to flatten and kill everyone.
You guys were in there rebuilding infrastructure, building schoolhouses, all the rest of it.
And as you say, those buildings you built have now got al-Qaeda flags.
So basically, in effect, Al-Qaeda just outsourced its construction program to the U.S. military and to U.S. taxpayers, Zach.
You're exactly right.
I mean, it's just, it's a shame.
You know, it's a shame that everybody just wants to act like, you know, it never happened.
And that's point number one.
Point number two is the health care, the Obamacare, if you will.
Now, what has now happened with this is the health care system that I have to rely on.
The healthcare system where I've been waiting two years to get my knee looked at so I can do my job as an infantryman in the Army.
I have been waiting for two years to get my knee fixed under this government health care.
Every time I'm told, oh, here's some Motrin and water, go away, it'll be okay.
So you're talking about the Veterans Administration here.
I'm talking about the active duty health care.
I don't know.
Yeah, oh, right, right, right, that's right, that's right.
You're active duty.
Yeah, you're talking about active duty healthcare.
Listen to this.
Listen to this, America.
This is a guy who's put his life on the line for you, who's out there in Iraq.
He's not shuffling paperwork in the Bureau of Compliance.
And he comes back.
He comes back and he's been on the front lines.
On the front lines, he's the line of defense that enables you to live your life and watch Dancing with the Stars.
And he's told, take two Motrin and call me in the morning because he can't get in to see the active duty, active duty healthcare system run by the United States government.
You know what's so wrong about this?
I'm sorry for cutting you off, but you know what's so wrong about this is I've got a job to do.
My job is to close with, capture, and destroy the enemy by means of forced fire and maneuver.
That is my job.
I cannot maneuver because I'm injured.
Now that I am stuck on this government health care crap, I can no longer do my job because they won't see me.
I am hurt.
I cannot close with and capture.
You know, I can't destroy the enemy because I am now hurt.
And you're right about that, Zach.
But the incredible thing here is you would think, right?
You would think that before they go on to try to provide health care for all these 26-year-old college students and all the rest of it, that when you're talking about America's fighting men, if you're going to have a government-provided health care system, particularly for the best-funded military on the planet, why can't they take care of your health care and get you, as you say, get you back out there doing what you've been trained to do, Zach?
It's the government.
I work for it, and I can tell you that, I mean, I'm not scared of my own government because I know what to do, but I'm scared of what the American people have voted to face.
They have voted to face this healthcare system that's nothing but a bureaucracy.
And I go and see the medics, and the medics say, oh, hey, here's some motor and water.
We'll get you an appointment to see the actual doctor.
I've been waiting on that appointment now for two years.
I have not seen the actual doctor.
I've not had my knee looked at.
And I'm just waiting.
I am waiting.
And now everybody else is going to have to wait.
All of America is going to have to wait.
What's going to happen is some kid with a broken leg or a messed up knee is going to go in, say, oh, hey, I'm hurt.
And they're going to be like, oh, here's some metronome water.
Yeah, that's right.
And take two aspirin and call me in two years' time.
Zach, I have to go to a commercial break, but thank you for your call.
And you're right to be angry about this.
You're right to be angry about the waste of what was hard fought and hard won by you guys in Fallujah and the SUNY Triangle a few years ago.
And you're right to be angry about a military that accounts for 44% of the planet's military spending.
And the United States government cannot even arrange a healthcare system that can get you well and get you back out there doing what you're trained to do.
Thank you for your call, Zach.
Thank you for your service.
Mark Stein, in for Rush, more straight ahead.
Mark Stein, in for Rush on the EIB network.
The embattled IRS is giving employee bonuses for 2013 to its employees.
It was revealed today, according to a story in the Washington Times, because of the, quote, need to boost employee morale.
Morale at the IRS is very low because it's been exposed as a stinkingly corrupt agency that actually ought to be abolished and replaced by something with far fewer powers, which they wouldn't be able to abuse to target the regime's political enemies.
But they're all a bit depressed by this negative publicity, Lois Lerner pleading the fifth and all the rest of it.
So they're now going to get these big employee bonuses for 2013, not for the excellent work they've done in cracking down on Tea Party groups, but in order to, quote, boost employee morale.
That's just in time for the 2014 election.
So they'll be really gung-ho the next time some Tea Party group decides to submit a 501c4 application.
A rotten, stinking, corrupt agency that actually ought to be put out of business in a self-respecting society instead is giving bonuses.
Actually, that's bonuses that you've paid for, by the way, because the IRS doesn't have any money except that which it gets from American taxpayers.
And it's going to give them to its employees in order to boost morale, just in time to crack down on you losers in time for the 2014 election.
Zach was talking about when Zach was talking about his difficulties getting treatment when he's being told to take Motrin and water and they would that he's been waiting two years to have his knees seen to.
And I thought he was VA rather than still active duty because they're separate government systems.
And one of the reasons for that is there's CNN has just reported that according to an internal report, 19 veterans diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and 2011 died because the Department of Veterans Affairs failed to conduct medical screenings in a timely fashion.
You know, this is the existing government healthcare system before we've created the fully implemented the new government healthcare system on top of this.
A friend of mine was at the Veterans Hospital recently being also being treated for cancer.
And you begin to see how 19, which again may be a low ball number, part of a larger group, yes indeed they are, of 82 veterans who have died or are dying because of the delays.
He went down to be treated for cancer in his VA hospital.
And the first session, he said nothing, he left it to the experts.
Then he noticed they were performing the chemo on the wrong part of his body.
So he raised a fuss about it.
And so about three or four sessions in, you have to do a certain number of sessions, I think.
Not the chemo, the radiation.
You have to do a certain number of sessions for it to be effective.
So about five or six sessions in, they agree that they're radiating the wrong part of the body.
And they put the radiating thing and shine it on the right part of the body.
And they give him the right, they radiate the right part of the body for the remaining sessions, but they don't add on any extra sessions at the end to make up for all the ones he's missed.
So in other words, they've given him a defective and likely ineffective form of radiation treatment.
And as we've seen, 82 veterans who have died or are dying because of delays at the Veterans Administration.
And worse than that, Zach says active duty guys can't be seen in a timely manner.
That's what happens when you try to design a government healthcare system, even for quite limited groups.
Maybe if it worked with active duty, maybe if it worked with veterans.
Maybe then, if you got that right, you'd try to do it for 300 million people.
Mark Stein for Rush will close things out in a moment.
CNN reports that a car that can understand your feelings will soon be able to use emotional data it detects from you to flag warning signs.
Sensors nested in the steering wheel will be able to improve your mood.
So if you're like driving along listening to Rush's substitute guest host talking about how the IRS are going to get a ton of big bonuses this year, so they'll be able to be more energized to chest and it's making you really, really angry.
Then the mood sensors will click in and it will tune into another station playing an instrumental, soft and easy, light favorite version of Windmills of Your Mind or something.
