WEBVTT - Don’t Be Polite or Non-Ideological: Fight This Un-American Legislation! 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.200 Last night on the Senate floor, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:09.280 it is our solemn duty to put aside our ideology, 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:14.760 to turn off Rush Limbaugh and leave politics in the cloakroom. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:20.560 Our vote on this groundbreaking legislation comparable to Social Security 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.159 and medicare. That's all we need to hear from. The 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.840 guy is just a buffoon. But here we are. They 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.040 got their rolling, I mean they have. They're on track 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.880 now for their Christmas Eve at nine pm vote. And 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.320 still Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey has to tell 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:40.000 the Republicans stop listening to me, stop being ideological, ideological, 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.560 which is all the Democrats are being here, pure ideology. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.199 I got a I got an email note from a 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.280 friend today. Is it hopeless? Is it over? What do 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.639 we do? I I'd like to go out and raise 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.080 some money, but everybody's tapped out? Is it? Raising money 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.520 is not what's necessary? Right now? We've had two rallies 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.160 in Washington. It's obvious that that that members of the 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.360 Democrat Party in about the House and Senate don't care 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.160 one way or another about what the public opinion of 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.840 this is. That's been obvious for a long time. I 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:11.720 still think, folks, what you ought to do is just 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.759 pound these people with emails, phone calls, facts is whatever, 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.400 Pound every damn one of them at their offices from 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.560 now until health freeze is over, Before, during, and after 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.640 all of this. Just keep pounding them. Uh that it 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.680 will make you feel better, and who knows, it may 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.360 have some effect at some point down the road. But 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.080 this is just outrageous. What is all happening. What we 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:39.560 are learning there are unrepealable aspects of the bill, particularly 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.160 a medical exchange plan that really sets the stage for 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.760 the government takeover of health care. It cannot be repealed. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.880 There's no a rule has been violent, constitution has been violated. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.760 There is so much of this that is illegal, and 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.640 somebody is going to have to bring the charge. And 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.080 I expect that if it's if it's if it's done, 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.400 If somebody does challenge this, it's And I have to 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.000 come from some of these states that are being left 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.200 out of all the goodies. In New York, Bloomberg is 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.440 fit to be tied, Patterson's fit to be tied. Uh, 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.119 And in in a lot of Georgia, I mean they're 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.720 being left out. A lot of states are being left 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.880 out of this so a lot more detail in this 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.800 as the as the program unfolds. But ideology. The reason 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.760 Menendez goes to the floor. The sent I says, do 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.520 not listen to Rush Limbaugh is because ideology is the 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.280 only way we're gonna beat this. Ideology is the only 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.160 way people in mass numbers are gonna be made to 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.960 understand just what this is and what it's about. Now, 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.200 we can go through individual aspects of the bill, which 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.600 we will do today, but that's been done at infinitum. Uh, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.160 and it just it ends up sounding like mishmash people 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.600 here it all runs together. Uh, the ideological approach, this 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.760 is liberals. This is what liberalism is. Liberalism means the 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.880 loss of economic prosperity and individual freedom and so forth. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.960 That's the message. Menendez knows it, and that's why he 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.680 is asking people to to not listen to me. DINGI 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.919 har Re invoked Rodney King on the Senate floor this morning. 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.400 There's a lot of tension in the Senate. I would 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.600 hope that everyone would go back to their gentlemanly ways, 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.720 and I would hope that I was trying to figure 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.720 out how to say this gentlemanly ways. I've said to 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.000 a number of people, Rodney King, let's just all try 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.840 to get along. So we really need to do this 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.919 is a very difficult time the next day or so, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.480 and let's try to work through this, which is a 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.000 which is a laugh. We're dealing with some of the 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:38.000 most hand handed, hard handed ideologues, mean spirited extremists to 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.520 come down the pike, and this is what they always 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.600 do when the going gets tough. Can't we all just 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.040 get along? Can't we just can't we just stop all 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.960 this partisanship little Obama was going to handle. Let Mitch 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.960 McConnell agreed with him. Let me just add to my 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.840 good friend the majority later. He and I have an 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.320 excellent relationship. We speak a number of times in the 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.960 course of every day and have no animosity whatsoever. And 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800 we are working on an agreement that will give certainty 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.720 to the way to end this session, and hopefully the 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.720 two of us together can be recommending something that makes 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.279 sense for both sides in the not too distant future. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.120 All right, there's the Republican leader in the in the Senate. 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:27.159 What Mr Snurdle, What well? I I played that not 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:31.719 to just infuriate you. I played it to to inform you. Uh, 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.680 I'll go back to this email that I got. Um. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.400 In fact, you know, I want to print out the reply. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.200 I'm trying to remember to reply. The email I got 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.960 was from somebody who has really been invested financially and 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.960 trying to stop this, has been raising a lot of 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.920 money and was asking me if if, if all is lost. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.159 And I'll find the reply to the email after the 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.559 break and share it, share it with you. Um. Now, 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.080 here's let's let's go ahead and stick with this. Let's 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.760 go to soundbites four or five and six. Uh, this 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.440 is yesterday on this program. This is me. Now, certainly 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.680 just send me. Violate the rules, violate the rules. They've 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.040 just stood the Constitution upside. Don't you think I give 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.640 a rat's rear end about violating a Senate rule on 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.920 when reconciliation cannon can't be used here? Senator Jim Dement's 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.360 Republican South Carolina last night on the Senate floor. There's 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.680 one provision that I found particularly troubling, and it's under 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.000 a section see title limitation on changes to this subsection, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.159 and I quote it shall not be in order in 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.960 the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:41.440 bill resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.919 otherwise change this subsection. This is not legislation. It's not law. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.080 This is a rule change. It's a pretty big deal. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.360 We will be passing a new law and at the 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.640 same time creating a Senate rule that makes it out 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.880 of order to amend or even repeal the law. And 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.720 this is not how Senate rules are made. Now, this 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.560 is um You know, the language is tough, but this 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.160 is how dictators operate. This is how people who know 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.039 that nobody wants what they're offering operate. People who have 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.960 power and who do not, and who are very well 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.960 aware that they're running against the wishes and against the 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.479 grain of the people they supposedly governed, make it impossible 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.600 for those people to do anything about it in any 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.440 illegal way. This is not how you change the rules 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.279 of the Senate. De Mint continued, I'm not even sure 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.200 that it's constitutional, but if it is, it most certainly 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.000 is a Senate rule. I don't see why the majority 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.720 party wouldn't put this in every bill. If you like 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.320 your law, you most certainly would want it to have 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.960 force for future Senates. I mean, we want to bind 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.919 future Congresses. This goes to the fundamental purpose of Senate 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.080 rules to prevent a tyrannical majority from trampling the rights 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.640 of the minority or of future Congresses. Okay, that's gim 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.120 de mint on the floor of the Senate last night. Now, 0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:01.400 why are they making this provision unrepealable. It's what we're 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.839 talking about here, is the Independent Medicare Advisory Board making 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.760 it impossible or difficult for future congress is to legislate 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.280 in that area to to to change this. Because Bill 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.880 Crystal points it out, the heart of the bill is 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.400 the attempt to get control of health care permanently in 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.200 the hands of federal bureaucrats who would allegedly know better 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.080 than doctors and patients what's good for them, and who 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.520 would cut access to care and the quality of care. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.520 So there's more money left over for various big government 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.320 liberal social programs down the way. But this is just outrageous. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.520 What is happening? I was I was telling Snargely this morning, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.800 usually on our last day of the last show of 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.960 the of the year, we're not dealing with this kind 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.600 of stuff. The Congress has gone home. Nobody's messing around 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.520 with liberty or freedom and not there not passing new laws, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.560 and we yuck it up and we have some jollys, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.240 and it just doesn't seem the whole jolly time here, 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.360 given what is at stake. But nevertheless, we're gonna try 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.720 to combine elements in the in the program today. But 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.560 Jim demand Is is upset. But of course this doesn't 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.200 get carried much outside the Senate floor by the state 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.080 controlled media. So aside from people like you in this 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.360 audience and UH and readers of various conservative blogs and 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.160 so forth, vast majority of American people have no clue 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.280 about this. Yet It's very simple. Folks win, Barack Obama 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:31.640 and the Democrats win. America loses big time. Now here's 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:37.000 the Here's the email that I that I received ere rush. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.839 I still think with sufficient public outrage, we could stop 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.800 the vote in the House, but it's proving an incredibly 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.760 hard to raise the money we need to reach and 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.280 mobilize the people who are not in your audience. Everybody's 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.520 tapped out and resigned. Do you still think we will prevail? 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.319 Here's what I wrote back, and it was a stream 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.760 of consciousness reply. I said, dear such and such, I 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.640 said yesterday that no amount of public outrage would matter. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.520 And I believe that we've never seen this before, We've 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.480 never been involved in anything like this before. The main 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.679 reason public outrage won't work is not the public's fault. 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.400 It's a combination of mainly a dictatorial frame of mind 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.760 the Democrats all have now and the Republican Party just 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.040 refuses to get emotionally engaged. Here are outraged by it. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.240 Their responses are barely above a flat line. And I 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.680 can point you to Mitch McConnell's a very gentlemanly remark 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.760 and reply to Harry Reid who asked if we can 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.160 all just be like Rodney King and just get along 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.760 in the midst of the destruction of the US health 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:42.000 care system. We're obsessed with being polite. And I know why. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.000 It's because we don't want to anger the moderates. The moderates, 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.119 you're afraid that if we start criticizing Democrats are Obama, 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.280 that they'll run away to the Democrats when they're fleeing 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.760 Democrats in droves. Now. Now, there have been two attempts 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.320 to rally people at the Capitol in opposition to this, 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.640 and the and the reason was that emails, phone calls 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.319 and faxes were not having an impact. It was theorized 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.840 that bodies on the ground, boots on the ground, people 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.400 in the faces of members of the House and Senate 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.720 was what it would take to make a difference. But 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:24.720 those two rallies failed because they essentially didn't happen. Who 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.960 knew about it. The mainstream media didn't report them. Nancy 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.600 Pelosi made sure that the vast majority of people showed up, 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.200 and these rallies never got anywhere near the capital. The 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.199 Democrats knew that all these protesters are being asked and 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.000 cajole to show up, so they were able to tell 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.160 themselves it wasn't genuine and the and the numbers reported 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.840 were not all that repressive. I mean that the peasants 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.040 didn't show up with any pitchforks. And so the Democrats 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:54.720 they listened to all this and they hear all this hubbub, 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.840 and they listened to all this opposition, and they know 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.760 they're getting it, but they didn't see a whole lot 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.520 of it in Washington. And it's it's because it wasn't 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.560 permitted to get close to them. I'm not do not 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.480 misunderstand me. The people showed up did a great thing. 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.439 I'm just saying that the game was rigged before they 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.760 even got there. And I told this person to send 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.280 me the email. I'm gonna urge people to day to 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.440 continue to flood members offices, especially their local ones when 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.880 they go home for the Christmas break. But we we're 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.160 we're we're dealing here, essentially with people who have a 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:32.560 dictatorial frame of mind. The public opinion is irrelevant, It 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.800 doesn't matter. The election to them is still a year away. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.680 If this were next September October and all this is happening, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:44.920 you'd have a entirely different dynamic going on. Uh. The 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.440 inside the Beltway commentary it still doesn't see this as 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.640 anything other than just another day at the political office. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.880 I was watching the Fox News All Stars last night 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.400 during the roundtable discussion, and you had you had uh 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.560 uh Steve Hayes from the Weekly Standard, Charles Crowdhammer and 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:07.160 Mara Liasson, and Hayes and Crowdhammer were involved in the 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.800 guts and the gory details in the imdeology and they 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:14.520 were spelling out exactly how atrocious all this deal making was, 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.560 all this whorring, all the bribery, all the prostitution that 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.960 was going on, all the buying of votes, all the 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.880 buying off states, all the buying of governors and so forth, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.280 and they are making, I mean, the scoring big time points. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.319 There's Mara Liasson, who I think I like her. I've 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.960 met her a couple of times, but she's typical of 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.880 the inside the Beltway media crowd. There's nothing special about 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.720 this other than it's a huge piece of legislation for Obama. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.360 But there's nothing going on here that doesn't always happen. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.480 This is what legislation is. Senators by votes, they trade votes, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.000 they do so this is It was perfectly understandable to 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.839 her that legislation had nothing to do with constituents. It 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.680 was perfectly understandable to her that legislation had nothing to 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.200 do with the substance of it. Legislation was all about process. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.600 And the people studying this and reporting on this in 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.560 the state control media, that's their obsession, the process of it. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.240 Will Obama in Ken Obama secure a victory, Ken Obama 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.920 reform health care. They haven't dug into the guts of this, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.480 and they ignore people who have. This will destroy the 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.640 country as you and I know it. This will destroy 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.199 the greatest health care system in the world. As you 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.800 and I are aware, this will forever change the relationship 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.160 that you and I have with our doctors because the 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.560 government's going to be a very powerful middleman. There are 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.760 death panels back in this bill, and that this is 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.200 what Harry Reid says, cannot be repealed. We are going 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.280 to ration care. We're gonna make sure that's only the 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.440 approved people get the kind of care that might prolonged life. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.440 It's all in there. None of this matters. It's all 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.720 about the process. It's all about the political victory. Can 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:54.240 Obama bring it home? Meanwhile, the country is undergoing one 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.640 of the most major transformations since its founding. I went 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.520 and looked up a number of things, things that the 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.240 founding fathers found outrageous, and there were the tipping point 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.360 for them, and they weren't, I mean, the things that 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.920 caused them to rebel and found this country. And they 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.559 were nothing compared to what is happening in this piece 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:21.640 of legislation alone. I know people think money fundraising is important, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.720 and it always is. But if you have to raise 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.920 and spend money right now, if you have to raise 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.560 and spend money to raise temperatures on this after all 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:38.000 this time and all this effort that it seems unnecessary, 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.720 seems like money would would not be necessary. If you 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.480 look at all the polling data, you don't need to 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.320 make more people aware. There's not one poll that shows 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:51.440 a majority anywhere in favor of this. I've always thought 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.040 pounding the individual provisions in the bill is okay, but 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.600 it's the wrong way to go because it all becomes 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.200 a blur. I hit this idiot logically at all times. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.960 H And what Harry read has done in limiting CEO 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:10.000 salaries of insurance company exects limiting shareholder profits and operating expenses. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.600 And if you're just joining us, you need to miss that. Yesterday, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.920 David Axelrod assuring the left that are that are upset 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.680 that they're gonna be forced to buy insurance from a 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.080 private sector insurance companies, don't worry about it, he said, 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.240 we have running there and we've limited CEO salaries in 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.840 this legislation. Or really that they didn't take TARP money. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.520 What gives you the right to do that. They're just 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.480 doing it. They are going to limit shareholder profits and 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.400 police operating expenses. Eventually that drive them out of business, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.600 which is the ultimate aim here. Now that is there's 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:46.720 no other definition for this than pure fascism, which is ideological, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.000 and it needs to be called as such. Harry Reid 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.800 has has written language saying many of the provisions of 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:57.600 the bill cannot be repealed. This whole thing is un American, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:02.320 it is unconstitutional, and it's not time to be polite 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.240 with this. It's not time to be gentlemanly and let 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.680 the Democrats have their sway on this. There would have 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.280 been people with pitchforks at the Capitol if elected officials 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.080 had felt and expressed the same degree of outrage and 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:20.920 anger that their constituents feel and are expressing. In the end, however, 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.760 I still think, I still think there's a chance for 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.080 defectors somewhere along the line, and I think at some 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.240 point they're going to have to resort to a mechanism 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.640 whereby they get fifty one votes instead of sixty, because 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.120 I think at some point and Senate they're not gonna 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.080 be able to get sixty in the House is a 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.520 whole another ballgame, But the fight is not over even 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.360 if it does pass. Our guys ought to be leading 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.920 the protests carrying the pitchforks. Instead, they're saying things like 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.600 they're concerned, disappointed, surprised. That doesn't cut it, because that 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:55.080 doesn't provide leadership, and leadership is necessary. People need an 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.200 outlet and a vessel for their anger in their own party. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:03.480 Not one Democrat senator with integrity or courage, not one. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.640 He would only take one Democrats senator out of sixty 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.600 to object to all this, this horrendous piece of legislation, 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.119 and it would die. Just one Democrats senator out of 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.120 sixty to show some integrity, show some courage, and nobody 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.520 anywhere thinks it will happen. It's not even being discussed. Now. 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:28.960 What does that tell you about Democrats? And yet it 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.280 is always the Republicans who are portrayed. Is closed minded, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.760 walking in lockstep? What a laugh. We now see what 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.240 walking in lockstep is really all about, and we see 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.040 what actually is important, and it's not the country. And 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:50.280 this takes me into yet another fear that I have 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.760 about all this. There are a lot of things that 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.560 worry me about about the transformation of country with this 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.919 health care, whether the relationship between uh US and our 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:06.439 doctors and the relationship between US and our government. But 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.000 there's also another aspect of this, and that is the 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:16.840 relationship between US and us between citizens. We will from 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:22.360 now on be rivals. We will be competitors for federal 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:27.680 money for health care for our children, uh permission from 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:31.920 federal powers that be for each medical visit and procedure. 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.000 And this is going to destroy folks, the traditional American 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.200 live and let live attitude towards everybody, because it will 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:45.280 inevitably become me against you when services are fewer, when 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.800 costs go higher, and it's your kid, You're going to 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.879 become competitive with your neighbor when you have to go 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.359 in and negotiate with some federal bureaucrat to see that 0:18:55.480 --> 0:19:01.480 it's your kid that gets treated. And that's where we're headed. This, this, 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:06.959 this massive new entitlement, is going to obliterate tolerance, this 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.720 whole notion of live and let live. The way to 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.919 summarize that as tolerance, and there isn't gonna be any 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.280 more of that. Every American is gonna be looking at 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.840 neighbors with jealousy, resentment, and anger at whatever medical care 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.440 he or she receives. That cause not everybody's going to 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.560 get the same. That's the way socialism works. It never 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.280 ends up that way. There is never equality of outcome. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.400 There is never sameness, even though that's the objective. There 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.440 are going to be differences and it's gonna lead to big, 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.240 big problems. Every American is gonna end up being very 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:45.600 extremely judgmental about the behavior of fellow citizens that would 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:50.040 in any way be considered risky, because the attitude will be, 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.640 you're taking money from my family's future medical care.
