RUSH: Louisville. Always love going to Louisville. Ken, welcome to the program.CALLER: God love you, Rush. Been listening since you started out in August of '88.RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate that.CALLER: I want to point out something I hadn't heard yet. You know, the states having to opt out of this is not going to happen for several reasons. One is, you have to overtly, positively opt out of something -- it's going to take the House and the Senate and governor to agree to...

RUSH: Yesterday afternoon, about this time, I received an e-mail from a friend in Washington -- that would be Warshington for those of you in Rio Linda -- that Congressman Steve King of Iowa was questioning the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on the qualifications required to be an owner in the National Football League. I had no clue. I knew that Congress was doing hearings on concussions and brain injuries in National Football League players. There's a study out there that NFL players have a...

RUSH: Now, from the new House bill, I've got a couple of passages from it here, the thing Pelosi announced today. I want to read it to you just to show you what we're going to be dealing with. Now, as I go through this section that I'm going to read part of, it looks like small businesses are going to lose their tax breaks for health coverage. Right now small business gets a tax break for providing health coverage. It looks like it's going to be phased out in two years. But it's hard to tell...

RUSH: We're going to go back to Tuesday on this program where I said this.RUSH ARCHIVE: To a lot of people public option means free. Public option is associated with government, and people think what they get from the government is free, the kind of people we're talking about. Oh, yeah, your food stamps come in, you didn't pay for them, "Yeah, government gave them to me. Obama's stash." The poor people in Detroit, "Obama giving me the money, Obama, from reserve funds, or from his stash." So...

RUSH: I have a couple of interesting stories here from state-controlled Associated Press: "An early progress report on President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports." A mistake? Biden said, "If we get this wrong, I'm dead." Remember him saying that? Joe, you haven't gotten anything right since you went the plug route. "The...

RUSH: The plain-out false lie that he told the small business owners this morning in Washington.OBAMA: There are those who have a vested interest in the status quo who are claiming otherwise. And they're using misleading figures, so I want to try to explain as clearly as I can exactly what health reform would mean for small business owners like you and the workers you employ. The first thing I want to make clear is that if you are happy with the insurance plan that you have right now, if the...

RUSH: Barack Obama today out at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and he's talking to small business owners about health insurance reform and the economy. I actually think every sentence that he said to these guys began with F-you. They don't know it, but it did. He's out there promising the millionaires, these small business owners, these millionaires, that it won't cost them a dime and all this is going to save them money. He is insulting their intelligence. We have a couple sound...

RUSH: Now, this Pelosi business, Bill Kristol asking if Democrats in her caucus will follow her off the plank and go over the cliff. I'm going to tell you what I think. I think Pelosi, for her own purposes, actually wants to get rid of the Blue Dog Democrats. She doesn't like 'em, they cause her problems, she wants to thin out the Democrat herd in the House and rid herself of these Blue Dogs. She's never liked 'em. She needed them to get her majority, but they give her problems. Here's what's...

RUSH: As you have probably heard, ladies and gentlemen, Nancy Pelosi just once again claimed that the House health care reform bill will not add one penny to the federal deficit. Of course this is absurd. It will turn out to be absurdly untrue if this thing ever sees the light day of, and when it does, when it does, when it is exposed as a total fraud, when she and everybody else supporting this are exposed as total liars about all of this being deficit neutral, about all of this covering all...
