Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Greetings, my friends.
It is the all-knowing, the all-caring, the all-sensing, the all-feeling, the all-everything and all-everywhere.
Maha Rushi, once again behind the golden EIB microphone, broadcast excellence.
Straight ahead for the next three hours, the telephone number if you want to be on a program, 800-282-2882.
And the email address, ilrushbow at EIBnet.com.
All right, now look, I know that everybody was, I don't know if they still are, probably are, still talking about the exchange on the Fox News channel last night between in this corner, Mr. Newt, the Newtster, Newt Gingrich, and overhear Megan Kelly of the GQ spread of some years ago and the first Trump debate question last year in Cleveland.
And it was fireworks.
You know what's amazing about this, among many other things?
You know, I'm a broadcaster, folks.
A broadcaster, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, first and last, I'm a broadcaster.
Whatever else I am comes in the middle.
And so I watch broadcasting as a business enterprise in as much as I watch it for content and so forth.
And I saw something today that interests me.
It may not interest anybody else.
But I got in here at my usual time, sat down and began the routine to begin the concentrated portion of show prep time, which includes glancing at the TV monitors.
CNN did a full 20 minutes on this.
CNN had a roundtable discussion with videotape of their competitor, a competitor to whom they are losing big time.
They spent 20 minutes essentially promoting Megan Kelly and Fox News right there on CNN.
There is no way, even today, would I ever even acknowledge competitors exist, much less give them a half hour on this program.
I don't care what happened on said competitors program.
I wouldn't do it, but they did.
And I'm telling you, it is telling the fact that they did it and had no problem doing it.
They decided that promoting and calling attention to what they greatly approved of, they thought it was great what happened on Fox last night.
CNN airs it and is begging people to leave CNN and go watch Fox now.
That's the upshot of this.
But they didn't care.
And the reason they didn't care is because they thought that Newt Gingrich got his head handed to him last night.
And by extension, they thought Donald Trump got his head handed to him by extension.
And then they thought Rudy got his head handed to him by extension.
So they were more than happy to subordinate their own business instincts and desire to survive and win.
They subordinated that to the objective here of creaming and destroying Trump.
I can remember a day, and it's not that long ago, when this wouldn't happen.
And if somebody had tried it, whoever runs CNN would have stormed into the control room and said, what in the name of Sam Hill are you doing?
Now, I know it's a different age.
It's a different media era.
And we all can conclude here that maybe everybody involved media-wise is on the same side now, pulling no punches, make no bones about it, particularly when the objective here is to take Trump out to destroy Trump.
It doesn't matter.
The media is one rather than a series of different entities that are competing against each other.
And that's obviously the way they look at it.
But, you know, as an old hand at this, as somebody who's been doing, I'm 65, as somebody who's been doing this since I was 15 years old.
I was blown away by it.
It just, as I say, I'm an old schooler.
There's no way to this, just you don't acknowledge that anybody else does what you do.
I mean, you know they're there, but you certainly do not call attention to them.
You don't praise them at your own expense.
But that's what CNN was doing.
Now, you can draw your own conclusions from it.
I mean, to me, it's again, I'm not looking at it within the political realm here.
I'm looking at it strictly as a broadcaster and as a media professional and champion.
I'm just telling you, it's odd.
And they've been doing it all day.
I mean, it's not just this one segment.
It was a 20-minute segment I happen to see, and they've probably been doing it all morning, and they're going to continue doing it all day because they think it was such a big win for them.
So we're going to get to it later on in the program.
I'm not going to lead off with it in terms of actually playing the soundbites.
If you haven't heard it by now, just hang in there, be tough.
You will.
We'll get to it.
But there are other things that I want to get to.
Plus, I know both people involved here.
I know Megan.
I know Newt.
Makes it tough.
I've always said it's easier when you do not know these people.
When it comes time to talk about what they're doing or analyze what happens, it's much easier.
But I know them both.
And it's tough.
I will admit this.
It's tough.
And by the way, I have things about both of them that neither would like known, so I'm safe there.
I know them both.
But I'm not one of these bleeders.
You know, I don't tattle out of school.
I don't tell people.
I don't give out little tidbits of information.
I am an upstanding guy, and I respect confidences and so forth.
But I nevertheless must mention that it's tough.
It was pretty brutal.
Pretty brutal.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
I guess, I guess it was.
Let me just ask you, top of your head.
That segment last night, you watched it, obviously.
Thumbs up or thumbs down.
Net positive, net negative for Trump.
Net negative for Trump.
You think that was a negative for Trump?
Did not help Trump last week.
Every, without exception here, folks, every email I got starting last, I didn't see it.
I don't have the TV on.
I was watching the World Series.
That's how bored I was.
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
I was working.
I didn't have the TV on.
So I started getting notes from my friends.
It's fascinating when you get a note, people tell you something you haven't seen.
You create, they create expectations.
And what I thought I was going to see was Newt Gingrich mopping the floor with Megan Kelly.
Everybody that sent me a note, oh my God, this is so great.
Newt just took her down.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
It's great.
It's about time something like this happened.
You should see it.
You should see it.
Newt just cleaned up.
So I'm expecting when I watch this.
And that's not what I saw.
From the standpoint, thumbs up or thumbs down for Trump.
That's not what I saw.
But here I said I wasn't going to get into it.
I'm into it.
I'm not going to play the audio someday.
There are other things I want to get to first.
We'll get to it.
I am.
Okay.
You want to do it?
I don't want to do it now.
I want to do it later.
I've got other things I want to do.
Everybody else is doing that.
What more can I?
I mean, I can play it.
Everybody else has heard it by now.
What more can I add other than the stuff I know about both of them that I'm not going to tell you?
It is possibly true that it's not real until I comment on it.
Absolutely.
Well, anyway, look, it's also unfair to start.
You know, you look at these things after they've happened.
It's easy to sit here from afar and say, what Newt should have done there, or what Megan should have done there, what she shouldn't have done.
I don't like to play that game.
It's why I left TV.
I couldn't handle everybody telling me what I should have done after they watched me on TV.
So you're not even watching what I think I'm doing, so I'm out.
One thing first, you know, yesterday we had a little treat for you.
We had election night coverage 1980 from NBC, John Chancellor Wauh, Tom Brokaw, Judy Woodruff, and then David Brinkley.
And we've dug deeper, and we got Bill Moyers from 1980.
He was CBS.
He was doing commentary on the CBS Evening News of Walter Klondike back then.
And he was part of their special election night coverage.
And the interesting thing about this is it's 1980.
What is it, 36 years ago?
Is that right?
36.
Yeah, 36 years ago.
And I want you to hear how the characterization of Republicans has not changed.
Listen to Bill Moyers and how he's describing Ronald Reagan 36 years ago.
Those of you who might speak Spanish, who might be black, who might be women, remember, said Carter, who's been your friend.
And there under the California sun in San Diego at a shopping center, Ronald Reagan was delivering himself of one of those patriotic soliloquies at which he's been a master since his days at Eureka College.
Suddenly, hecklers in the crowd started shouting and waving their ERA signs.
Reagan took his cue and snapped back, oh, shut up.
And thousands of supporters roared their approval.
Those are the people for whom Ronald Reagan is the apostle of the rollback, the knight who promises finally to slay the dragon of liberal government.
Jimmy Carter won four years ago as an outsider.
And if he wins at all tonight, it must be as an insider defending the status quo.
Reagan has cast himself as a sheriff who comes riding into town just in the nick of time shouting, enough's enough.
Does it sound like anything's changed in the way these people see the world?
Not an iota.
Not an iota.
And this guy still has a fledgling.
Or does he still does he still have a show of PBS?
Or does he do specials now and then to call people racists and sexists?
I mean, 36 years, not a single variation, not a single difference in the way they characterize Republicans.
Look, this is why I always make the point, it doesn't matter who the Republicans would have nominated.
They were going to get the treatment Trump's getting.
It wouldn't have mattered.
You could nominate, they would go out of their way to find ways to destroy Jesus Christ if he could be nominated as a Republican.
The Democrats would do everything they could, including calling him a liar, the Bible a fake book, whatever it took.
They would scour the historical record looking for children he had fathered.
Anything they could do to disprove the gospel, to discredit Jesus.
That's who they are.
That's what they would do.
It doesn't matter.
My point is, you're never going to escape.
We are never going to escape this kind of media assault based on who we nominate.
And I say this because there are a lot of you never Trumpers out there claiming that this is exactly what you get when you nominate a guy like Trump.
No, it's exactly what you get when you nominate a Republican.
Whenever there is any opposition to the Democrats, this is what they do.
It doesn't matter.
They're going to do, they did it to Romney.
I've made this point till I blew in the face.
They turned Romney, who was mild-mannered, Mr. Gush, can't even get noticed, into the biggest walking Satan El Diablo politics had ever seen at that time.
And they think they made it stick.
So this is why I think Trump has so many people supporting him.
He's fighting back against it when most Republicans haven't and don't.
So just wanted to help you hear that.
See how familiar it all sounds.
Also, yesterday in this program, Moyers is gone.
His last show, but he doesn't do specials or anything anymore.
Surely PBS, when they need to call somebody racist or sexist, they'll call him up and say, here, we've got an hour for you.
You want to come on and name whoever you hate now, racist and sexist?
We got an hour here at PBS for you.
That's what they do.
So yesterday on the program here, we had Donald Trump.
Donald Trump called, he was the first segment in the last hour of the program yesterday.
And this is fascinating.
Until the Megan Newt thing blew up, Trump's interview with me captivated cable news right up until whenever Newt appeared with Megan.
And here's why.
You have these media people who followed Trump around for the whole year, and there's still things about him they don't know.
As you know, I have spent considerable time here on this program attempting to explain to anybody who wants to know why Trump's supporters support him, who they are, what they are angry about, what their grievances are, why they will not abandon Trump no matter what people say about him, why, who Trump is outside the political arena.
It doesn't really matter to them.
How the movement is actually bigger than Trump.
Trump is the vessel for these people.
I've gone to great lengths to explain it.
And yet there are people who have followed Trump around who claim that they learned something yesterday in this interview that I did that they didn't know about Trump.
And they convened roundtable discussions on the cable news networks last night to discuss.
I also didn't know this.
While I was sitting at home minding my own business, focusing on other matters, I get a note from Cookie saying, my gosh, you won't believe this.
You're going to talk at cable news again.
So she told me what it was about.
And I said, okay, fine, I'll check the Soundbite roster in the morning, which I did, and I have here.
So the first example is Sarah Murray covering Trump every day for over a year from or for CNN.
This is last night on the Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer show, but here is the bite.
I did an interview with Rush Limbaugh that sort of gets at the push and pull behind Donald Trump, the fight between what his advisors want him to say and his instinct to fight back.
Take a listen.
I would rather Rush fight it, even though most people say you shouldn't do that.
But if you fight it, at least you're telling the truth.
At least the word is out that, you know, you're innocent of these charges or stating you're innocence.
But other people say stay on job, stay on Obamacare and repealing and replacing it, etc.
So I guess there's two theories.
I would rather fight it, but everyone says you shouldn't do that.
Just go along.
Now, this gives you an idea of why Donald Trump has repeatedly hit back.
So it was news to them.
They had no idea.
Because they thought that Trump was fighting back because he's a narcissist, that Trump's an egomaniac, that Trump can't stand to be criticized, and that Trump is incautious.
And he will throw common sense and campaign smarts out the window in order to defend himself against these charges.
It's very undisciplined, they said.
It's very uncharacteristic of a seasoned politician.
It's very destructive.
He's not helping himself do it.
They had all these explanations for it.
Again, looking at it through the prism of standard, ordinary, everyday politics as they know it.
Now, after the interview, I made a point.
This is really why they understand this.
They didn't pick it up themselves watching the interview.
They picked it up from me because I made this very point when the interview was over.
I pointed out to everybody: did you notice what he said here?
Every one of you who has emailed me or called me has told me that you want me to tell Trump to stick to the issues, to not get sidetracked by all these attacks and the need to defend himself, that he's falling prey to all this stuff, that he just stays focused.
And I reminded people that what they heard Trump say, that his advisors are telling him just that, and he's ignoring them.
He admitted that his advisors are telling him not to do what he's doing, but he's doing it anyway.
And then the news was that he's doing it to protect his family.
He's doing it to protect his reputation and to get the truth out.
He doesn't want these charges to settle in for any time at all.
He wants to refute them immediately as they happen because, in his opinion, they're all lies, and he doesn't want lies about him to settle in and become the historical record.
And that's why he does it.
And that's what they claim they learned yesterday.
All these people in the media, they thought he was going off message because he doesn't know what he's doing.
They thought he was going off message because he's undisciplined.
And it wasn't that at all.
That's why they think they were really educated yesterday.
I'm looking here at the latest snapshot at Real Clear Politics.
Real Clear Politics, all the different polls that they publish, their Real Clear Politics poll average overall, the four-way RCP average with four candidates, favorability ratings, live betting odds, the Electoral College, Real Clear Politics Electoral Map, Battleground States.
Folks, there is, but I'm just telling you, every down arrow here is next to Hillary Clinton's name.
The blue arrows.
If you go to the real clear politics page, they update every day or every time a new poll updates, they add that to their averages, their rolling tracking, whatever.
And then they change the direction if it's up or down.
And Hillary is down everywhere but in Ohio, but yet Trump is still plus 1.1 in Ohio.
Yet Hillary is showing upward movement there.
This is, remember now, it's an average of all the polls.
And if you want to see each individual poll, you can do that too.
But this is the average that I'm talking about.
So what's going on here?
Is it as I predicted that as we near the election, the polls will tighten to more accurately reflect reality?
Because up till now, the polls are simply a tool, a weapon to shape public opinion.
More in a moment.
Ha, there are you.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
State of Florida Bloomberg has Trump up two points here in Florida.
Now, you might say, well, so what?
Well, Obama won Florida in 2012 by one point.
You know that?
I think I meant it to be double-checked on this.
But I know that Trump is up by two and Rubio is up by 10.
Marco Rubio's running against somebody named Patrick Murphy, and he's up by 10 points against somebody named Patrick Murphy.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Remember, Trump was going to destroy every Republican down the ballot.
Trump was so bad.
Trump is so destructive.
Trump is so damaging that the entire Republican Party might not even exist after Trump gets blown out.
In fact, the Washington Post had a story yesterday, and all of the never Trumpers out there just glommed onto this.
They were so excited.
Here's that story.
Amid lagging polls, Trump stops holding high-dollar fundraisers.
Here's the story.
Donald Trump's campaign said yesterday that it has scheduled no more big money fundraising events to benefit the Republican Party.
Another sign of the GOP nominee's struggling campaign and a serious blow to the party's get out the vote operations with less than two weeks to go until Election Day.
And the never Trumpers are just saying, see, see, he's so selfish.
See, he doesn't care about anybody himself.
See, excuse me.
Let's first explain what is standard operating procedure.
For those who may not know it, standard operating procedure is that at the tail end, well, actually throughout the presidential campaign, the nominee does fundraisers to benefit the party.
Hillary is still doing hers, but in many cases, she's using surrogates to show up for her.
The party gets, I think, 20% of the take at these particular fundraisers.
Now, the Washington Post says here the consequences of halting major fundraisers will compound the challenges facing a candidate and a party already straining to match Hillary Clinton's much larger and better financed operation.
Unlike Clinton, who has an extensive turnout operation of her own, Trump and many other GOP candidates down the ballot are relying heavily on the Republican National Committee to bring voters to the polls.
And they claim Trump pulling out with just under two weeks of these fundraisers.
The Washington Post is trying to say this is Trump being selfish.
This is Trump thinking only of himself.
This is Trump not caring about the party.
This is sure sign the party is going to go down the tubes, down the ballot.
It's just incredible.
We've never had a reprobate like Trump.
We've never had an ingrate like Trump.
I mean, that's the whole tone of the story, which is why the Never Trumpers liked it and do like it, and why they're out there promoting it and saying, see, we told you so.
Aside from a couple people at the RNC, just what has the Republican Party done for Trump?
And I'm seeing this as an observer, as an observer from afar here.
I mean, how many Republicans are out there claiming they're voting Hillary?
How many Republicans are saying there's no way, no matter what, know-how, that they can vote for Trump?
How many Republicans are out there not even seeking to know the truth about all these sexual abuse accusers?
Where are the fact-checkers on these women, by the way?
There aren't any.
Betsy McCoy makes that point in the New York Post today.
Where is the standard operating procedure?
Somebody shows up and accuses a Republican nominee of something.
Where is this vaunted opposition research bunch that gets into gear to try to dispel?
I don't see a lot of assistance forthcoming for Trump.
I don't know that this has anything to do with why he's decided.
I rather think that what Trump is doing here, you can look at this two ways.
And the Never Trumpers are looking at it as he's given up.
He knows he can't win.
And so he's already planning payback.
He's already thinking about getting even.
And so if he's going to lose, he's going to take as many Republicans down ballot with him.
That's the way they're looking at it.
The way I interpret this is that we got less than two weeks to go, and the objective is to win the presidency, not raise money for the party.
And I think the focus here is going to be on campaign events designed to get out the vote, designed to persuade people to vote for Trump rather than fundraising dinners.
You tell me what you think here is going on.
But this is an example of the kind of barrage that Trump gets.
You get a story like this in the Washington Post that nobody on our side even chooses to question in terms of its motivation.
They just accept it, hook, line, and sinker, because after all, it's the Washington Post.
And you have the never-Trump population on our side who is eager for him to lose and eager for him to be humiliated.
So a story like this that can be spun to portray him as selfish and greedy and not wanting to share is right up their alley.
But what if all that's going on here is Trump says, you know what?
You may have done it all this way in the past, but we're down to less than two weeks here, and I don't have time to go out there and do all this fundraising.
I'm doing as much as I can for the party by doing what I'm doing.
It's not me not supporting the party.
It's the party in some cases not supporting me.
I mean, this could get down in the weeds as far as you want to take it.
But I just, I find it fascinating the way people are looking at this.
So Trump's up two in the Bloomberg poll in Florida.
Marco Rubio is up by 10.
Neither are supposed to be happening.
Obama, we think, wins Florida.
We could look it up.
It wouldn't take trouble.
Win Florida by one point in 2012.
And by the way, there was no recount asked for, despite how close it was.
So, and then the things that are substantive today to focus on, I must tell you that this Obamacare story is it.
It's everything that we are up against.
It is proof positive of the guaranteed implosion of this country and our economy and failure of the Clinton administration if she wins.
Obamacare encapsulates all of it.
The abject lies to get it passed.
The lies after it began to fail.
And now the undeniable out-of-control cost increases.
And you want to know how these are being dealt with?
Democrats left and right, it's a bump in the road.
Okay, so there's some premium increases.
It was never going to be smooth as silk.
Oh, no, you people don't get to get away with that.
You promised everybody $2,500 a year premium reductions.
You promised everybody the moon here.
You told them if they liked their doctor and planned they could keep it.
You promised everybody, a lot of people thought you were promising them free health care or free insurance.
You promised a lot of things and you led people to believe a bunch of things that were never going to happen.
So now the bump's in the road.
And look, let's make another acknowledgement here.
There's even, there are even some people who are coming forth and saying, Rush, you're not quite right.
The Obamacare plan was not designed purposely to fail to get to single payer.
These people, Obama and John Gruber and whoever else, they actually thought this would work.
That's what everybody's missing, Rush.
They actually thought command and control healthcare and market economies by a bunch of theoreticians from the faculty lounge would actually work.
And they're as shocked as anybody that it isn't working.
There is that prevailing view.
I don't care which.
Whether this is designed to fail to facilitate single payer and national health care or whether it's just plain old incompetence and out of touch inability to know what happens in markets, the bottom line is these people do not know what they are doing.
The Democrat Party that thinks they can run every aspect of your life, from your healthcare to whatever it is you drive and eat and drink and where you go to school and what you learn, there is no evidence they can do better for you than you can do for yourself.
And there never has been.
They don't have any expertise in anything that happens in the economy because they have never worked there.
They are always in academia or government.
They are always sitting on the outside of all the action, looking at it and criticizing everybody doing it, claiming they know how to do it better when they've never done it.
Barack Obama doesn't know the first thing about how hospitals operate, how doctors operate, how trauma centers operate.
He doesn't know the first thing about the medical device business.
He doesn't know the first thing about anything.
He's never worked in it.
He didn't go to school to learn anything about it.
Neither did Hillary Clinton.
And yet we're told that these are the two most qualified people ever to make all of these plans and set up all of these arrangements for us.
Why?
Because they care more than anybody else.
And they've worked their entire lives caring.
Well, I'm sorry.
They don't know Diddley Squat, and it's right in front of us.
The other thing that's right in front of us is this WikiLeaks business.
You realize if journalism today was as it was back in the 1970s, we wouldn't need WikiLeaks.
We had Woodward and Bernstein who did back in the 70s when Nixon was the target exactly what WikiLeaks is doing today.
The thing that's changed is that Woodward and Bernstein did not consider themselves defenders and protectors of the state.
Woodward and Bernstein thought they were there to blow up the state.
They were there to prove everybody in the state was a lying SOB.
And that's because Nixon ran the state.
Today, the drive-by media in no way wants to hold the state, people in government, accountable for anything.
The only enemy in America today is the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
And that's it.
That's the sole focus.
And you will not find Republican or conservative fingerprints on anything that is going wrong in this country today.
You will not find their fingerprints in Obamacare.
You will not find their fingerprints on this disastrous economy.
Well, I take that back.
You know, that's not actually true.
There have been a lot of Republicans voted for all this spending, I must admit, because they didn't want to oppose Obama for reasons that you and I all understand.
They were afraid of being called racists if they did.
Point is every bit of information anybody would need to run as fast as they can away from the Democrat Party is out there.
Now you move over to this email scandal and what Wikileaks continues to release and what's out there to know.
And that is Obama lied through his teeth when he said he didn't know that Hillary was using a private server.
And we know that everybody working for Hillary and Obama knew that he was lying because the latest dump of documents and emails from WikiLeaks indicate that the whole modus operandi was, quote, to get away with it, unquote, from the White House on down.
The express purpose of why Obama was lying.
And there were people at the Hillary camp who knew he was lying.
People in the Obama side knew he was lying, worried about it, trying to find ways to protect both of them.
We're dealing with genuine, full-fledged corruption and sleaze, and it's out there for everybody to see.
And the question is, how many people are seeing it?
And I happen to think a lot of people are, because I don't think that drive-by media is succeeding at suppressing all this.
They are keeping it off of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and the New York Times, admittedly so.
But there are so many other outlets that are vomiting this stuff out there each and every day.
We'll see.
We're not that far away from learning.
I got to take a break.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Documented, okay, Obama wins Florida by less than one point in 2012.
0.9.
He was up over Romney, Trump up two in Florida.
And again, Rubio, who was supposed to lose, because everybody down ballot is supposed to lose because Trump too, remember?
Rubio's up 10 over somebody named Patrick Murphy.
Now, about these emails and the WikiLeaks continual dump here, we now know, folks, that in just 10 days, just 10 days after Cheryl Mills said they would have to clean up what Obama says.
Obama's out there saying that he found out about Hillary's private server like everybody else did.
I found out about it when I'm reading the news.
And Cheryl Mills and everybody.
Oh, no, no, no, no, because they knew he was communicating with her on her private server using a pseudonym, a fake name.
So everybody knew he had lied.
So they panicked.
And the Wikileaks dumps show us that just 10 days after Cheryl Mills said they would have to clean up what Obama said.
In other words, find a way around his lie.
Obama reversed three decades of White House policy when he ended freedom of information access to White House correspondents, including emails.
The White House had been honoring Freedom of Information Act requests for 30 years, but Obama ended it 10 days after it was fairly confident he had lied.
about not knowing Hillary was using a private server.
We have an email exchange between a top Hillary aide and Podesta from the day of the New York Times revelation of Hillary's email server in March of 2015.
And in this exchange, they are wondering why Hillary didn't come forward sooner about her secret server.
And the aide, a woman by the name of Neera Tandon, answered her own question.
She's asking the question, why didn't Hillary come forward sooner about all of this?
Answered her own question by saying they wanted to get away with it.
Let me translate what I just said.
Some of the sounds that gets in the weeds.
There's an email exchange between a Clinton aide and Podesta.
And the subject is, why did Hillary go so long and not admit this?
And the answer from a Hillary aide is because they wanted to get away with it.
Bill and Hillary, the Clinton camp, wanted to get away with breaking law.
They wanted to get away with having a private server outside the State Department.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is the entire historical summation of the Clintons since we have first heard of them in the late 80s.
They wanted to get away with it.
You know what the left-wing spin is on the Obamacare story?
It's not a big deal because it doesn't affect that many people.
The 25, 30, 80% premium increase is not a big deal.
Most people get their health care at work.
It isn't going to affect them.
That's their spin, and they're going to stick with it.
Mr. Sterdley tells me not a single call from anybody asking to hear Megan Kelly and Newt Gingrich mix it up.
Still no calls on that.
