Condescending shall we -- Was Andrea Mitchell today on MSNBC. She was saying that all these people that are you know like the -- the other senior citizens who were who basically. Occupied -- senator feinstein's office in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. That they basically don't know what's good for them.

Go ahead as the cash for clunkers program give you more or less confidence in the government's proposed takeover of health care. Less a lot less and what do you think we're checking in. About 99%. OK your little highway 94 to start -- little -- up for a few minutes. The the other thing is you know what it what I haven't seen much W you know about the quite the cash for clunkers program all these people come and and there there -- the they they gave I guess we gave it to the EPA to handle part of it and they've just been totally overwhelming have no idea what they're doing. They are there already running out of money they're gonna have to come up with more money. And one of the things I haven't seen only in a couple of places is that most of the people were coming the end. Somebody -- one of the car dealers were saying that they the average credit school credit rating of the people were coming up with the cash for -- is over 700. That's you know people who understand financing and their press by the program that -- there have been taught people -- tended to ignore what -- then -- exactly the people if you have a if your credit rating of over 700. Probable that what that means is you've been able to make all your payments to of of mortgages. Credit cards so whatever is -- You really don't need the government help -- for the Democrats were all about this basically means testing and that's why we have to have national healthcare that's -- now they've set up this program that is that is being. This that is that is being used primarily. By the by the despised rich people in this -- didn't. -- it was meant for the poor people to be honestly I thought it was basically meant to help the car and -- into. You know how green it helped emission standards that I don't realize I had any financial I think and I think it's apply the all this stuff is supposed to help -- people but it's it's again it's just a which is going to be a quick way to work that would make score. -- And keep cheating you know. Move from wall -- something yesterday they keep changing and there was somebody on Russian show yesterday was saying to keep changing the Visteon birds. You know one know what what you have to get eighteen miles ninety miles per Gallup. It's some of these -- some of these new cars that are supposedly green. -- don't meet the standards -- to meet the standards for being -- it's just. You know ha I don't know I I hope that Charles Krauthammer was right -- his column today when he said that what he thinks is gonna happen with this this health care fiasco is that. It's gonna get at its -- of the gonna get Malek -- up and -- during the August recess. In the -- who. Approved some little fig leaf for Barack to war. Used to declare victory and then nothing -- really changed if chuck. Krauthammer suggest. That they're gonna force insurance on the younger people. And I thought about that -- in his column. If these these are people who basically don't have health insurance because there aren't good shape they don't need to help the church that rather spend it on an art clunker or Bora vacation to Cancun. And what he said was that what this'll this'll be they'll forces felt forced the young people to go into the program and it'll just be another income transfer of general intergenerational transfer program but virtually terribly unfair to younger people but on the other hand. These are adults who elected Barack Obama. You know here is an element of you know what goes around comes around here if if they're the ones -- wind up getting punished. But being forced to buy health care that they don't really need. It isn't it isn't it ironic too that there's new Gallup poll wild that says that. Most of lead. -- the do you lowest approval ratings for this change in the health care program. From senior citizens the people who actually. Have to know the system who have to navigate this system because there are getting older obviously and more for -- they they've they've learned how to deal with. But that's. That seems rather ironic to people who were but the most enough -- most. Conversant with the system don't wanna change -- 18774694322. By the way if there's a great picture today. -- it's on the White House web -- it's been picked up everywhere it's on our website now to -- home page. How -- cart dot com. It is just it's picture that was taken last night by I think by the official White House photographer can't believe it's up on the via beat the at the White House website. Talk about the picture that's worth a thousand words. But rock is walking down the steps of the White House looks like they're going to the going to picnic table for their little. -- And Barack is -- shirt sleeves and he's got his sure he's got his sleeves rolled up and those who -- you welcome you know very yeah. Very. But what was going straight ahead behind him a couple of steps behind him going down the steps. One is Henry Louis gates with his came. In his left hand and guess who's holding. Henry Louis gates. Right arm and helping him down the stairs. It's my Barack Obama. It's. Sergeant currently. Barack Obama is not helping him it's it is such a revealing photograph. Let's see here this is from Thomas slips and we'll get some calls on the health care situation in the core but -- here in a moment what is -- read this Thomas slips on American thinker I'm stunned that the official White House blog publish this picture -- that is now in the public domain the body language is most revealing. Sergeant Crowley the -- class acted this trio helps the handicap professor gates down the stairs. Well Barack Obama key atlas of the infirmities of his alleged friend and fellow victim of the self defined racial profiling strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate. And who is so self involved and arrogant that he is oblivious. In my own dealings with the wealthy and powerful says Thomas slips and I have always found that the way to quickly capture the moral essence of a person has to watch how they treat those were less powerful. Do they understand that the others are also human beings with feelings especially when they think nobody is looking. It's it's a great photo Yo-Yo check it out. I call we -- way -- this Sunday herald we go way caption this photograph -- just called the Sunday editor and so if you don't have one yet but I think I gotta. I think -- got a pretty good nominee for this week. 18774694322. Let's take some calls Al your next with how we --"

" I hours you. Obama first time caller from a little errors but that's the -- let me just first off part of my question where they those statements. We all have calculators calculators -- go to one million. Today we're talking about billions and trillions which means you -- trees are beyond our calculator for about billion. And 60 beyond that very -- just. Okayed the program the on the clockers. Says that power from what I can here there we spent one billion and the program in less than a week. Okay if you divide and you and you you can usually calculator where if you divide that out. That means that we've had 222220. Cars. Are qualified for the the Tucker program in one week. Yeah I find that almost impossible to believe it's. Based on this sales of cars in the United States over the year."

" That is pretty what do what do we sell now about ten to twelve million vehicles a year now right I know it's way down from what a couple of years ago but that's that's the number I think."

" Well let -- out but they've gone way down the -- which is the problem with the auto industry stirred up. So. I I guess I'm going to present you with a challenge. Sent I don't seem to have very much -- lucky and doing it."

" I was look good if it's a math challenge Alamo moment going to be able to war except -- because some I was never very good map for the --"

" Anywhere from my failures because one billion divided by 4500. Which is through their rebate card than you refund. Does kind of -- and trying 2220. Dollars. In my house and yet that she might challenge you would be. If we can find out how many cars were sold under that Tucker program during the week. That we can determine the costs per car sold. Yeah okay I'm I'm thinking that it costs -- running a program as well a lot more than 4500 dollars."

" Per car -- Dorsey you know I did see I did see that that somebody that some of the car dealers are saying it's going to be a lot more expensive than than 4500 dollars. Facelift thanks for the call 187746943220. John you're next with Howie -- go ahead John."

" I can happen I appreciate it originally from Tampa -- Maine now look like you've talked about the health care system leading tanker will. I cannot -- question that I regret your map and I'll tell you what really need to tinkered with. Is the judicial system and basically tort reform is what's needed to my wife had elected church leader a couple of years ago and no complications didn't go well. Just fine now that is right -- world look at what hired some ambulance chaser and probably have gotten -- thing. But that's not how I'd do business bin Laden's Serb leadership chose to have that's what's killing their health care system."

" That's and the Joe -- that you you raise a really good point because he has. Ruled out totally any kind of tort reform because the the tort lawyers are one of the leading and leading money machines for the Democratic Party I mean that -- think paid for a for John Edwards both of his presidential campaigns his fellow tort lawyers."

" Yeah -- yeah Disco I noticed."

" keep talking and -- IQ -- no why didn't know what it's good -- did you bring it up I mean it -- way he's talking about the greedy insurance companies in the greedy surgeons who were over you know performing operations that are needed. And you don't a lot of this a lot of this testing that's got the goes on and they you know you always ask for the second the third test. Is it strictly CYA. Right now. -- a few days if you had some and you know then you the tort lawyers whenever you bring this up they. It you know it's like the beginning of that that movie a civil action you know when Niger that I happened to be on at the very at the very beginning when John Travolta wheels the guy and what the wheelchair that in the jury starts crying and usually always it's it's always a state. So you don't think that it's this doctored destroyed this person's life and it okay that's of the dead that was a terror that was a terrible thing but there's there's got to be some kinda limits on on this soft fishing that's going on you see it on TV every day right. I mean -- they're sponsor all these are crappy old power then the view shows. Did you -- has a doctor Dunn used dirty. Style."

" See it every day I get -- problems of our -- out your real quick the same god that that that the electorate certain Lamar -- Also this surgery at your your previously a much sought unsuccessfully. Album done that wasn't elected that needed -- and -- was successful you know I mean this guy works in good faith you know and and -- no visual world. You know not. You know -- have a you know ever done and just didn't go good you know it's not gonna be you know certain medical science is still. Relatively new it's only then over the last 225 or thirty years that -- really proceeded beyond bleeding people you know so it's it's about. It's still. You know I would say in its infancy but there's still a long way to go and -- all these lawyers the problem they they are they are right that the problem."

" Our -- aren't -- I mean you look at look at John Edwards campaign to me that there or guys there were contributing to him some of these -- of his fellow what tort lawyers guys who become multi multi millionaires just just so when doctors driving up the cost of of malpractice insurance especially with specialists like. Bob nine is -- They eat they backed his campaign so heavily. These that would -- wish there were there -- federal laws violated did the only secretaries in the offices would be giving giving matching up to Edwards. And you the same thing was going on with. Trent Lott's brother in law he was that he was another one of those big malpractice guys down in Mississippi. And these I think I think he actually ended up like may be giving you giving advice that on that and he -- he was given big money to -- ole miss back in the law school everything in the everything the almost law school was named after him. And he did just gotten rich off."

" Malpractice Tino and there's a way to control malpractice and it's a state by state saying it's not you know a federal issue one and -- In Massachusetts you have to bring your malpractice is reported -- three. Independent doctors and they're the ones that have to say whether it's you -- go forward or not it's not a legal issue here is it as much that is a medical issue yeah but."

" It see it in indeed it's cool easy. CNV it's still too easy to assume any issues and again that the dear -- trying to cover their rear ends in the fact that Barack Obama and and the rest of these Democrats won't even. The won't even discuss it and they won't even discuss tort reforms in the you know that they did they'd rather go out and demagogue against insurance companies and and physicians. 18 get the next next time you break a leg gut -- call an ambulance chaser okay. So that variation on the old thing next time. Next -- next time we get robbed -- happy right. William you're next with how we cargo ahead William."

" Thank you mr. -- as it relates to cash for -- are we aware and -- fact. When those cars are traded at a dealership they have to be strapped. Governments including wisdom wanted to -- regulations are regulations are dead the motor -- be drained of its oil. The blockage then punctured its built with a solvent so that it no longer runs. So that's sign. But it may consider now that each of those vehicles and -- total way to be strapped -- moved individually. Instead of being able to load on multiple. I trailers so they've screwed up reactor carrier what are your -- your source is gonna cost a lot more than forty -- such now they've got a movie each part individually by slat bed because they -- the motor."

" When -- say you mean so one clunker one flat bed that's a way it's gonna work."

" Yes that is -- Don't work I can't bullies. But that's how they're gonna do it. So you can't bring and a tractor trailer several years ago Toyota corporation had a problem -- expressions. And didn't get the right thing and recalled the -- they took them off the road and -- or -- but what he did was load them -- at dealerships candidates aren't so attractive target command. And take them all at once. But was best reporters promoters have to be -- stopped so that they're no longer functional so that's a transporter. -- bringing a rollback and throw them out. One at a time."

" You -- what you think it's possible that -- some of these cases there's gonna be leaks in toxic material is going to war going to get out onto the interstate highways of the United States."

" No I don't think that's vicious that they say they increase the cost of scraping the -- not. Being able to be moved multiple loads they have to do one -- at times so. And some of those cars are actually do have some cash value of and because now they sealed the motor they've thereby shrunk the value those cars that are just a little scarcer worked mortgage -- 300 dollars a salvage. They actually are --"

" Largest auto somebody else will you obviously know this system shall -- this is wouldn't win cash for -- is over this is gonna drive up the cost -- used cars isn't it."

" Yeah I don't think there's a guy who can't afford you talked about Beattie government saying that -- average person has 700 spore that's correct. The guy who's being forced if you will take back our -- he can't afford a car payment PayPal. You can't -- which Toyota or Chevrolet or dodge dealership to get a 304. -- should catch -- drive it is not 88 Ford Explorer can you afford to drive it."

" So what you're saying is we're gonna have a sub prime crisis of -- in the auto loan loan industry."

" Well you know I think artificially devalue of those less expensive higher mileage cars going to be driven up so high that now that guy -- traditionally been cash buyers can't go get along so that carnal knowledge. --"

" No sacred site what are they -- the dealers was quoted in a new story this morning as saying that the average person that's come minute taken advantage of this program has us as a -- over 700."

" It -- about that's what I'm getting is the fact that a lot of us who got you know like me might sports god god acting that would break while I can't."

I mean you don't you read between the lines of what they're saying it it they're talking about rationing rice. -- We lost rusty -- 18774694322. On how we -- 18774694322. This is one of our Internet listeners -- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. How would the last time I checked there wasn't against a lot of will insult someone I call guys monkey all the time. How was that racist. Well number one nobody saying it's illegal. To call somebody a monkey but. I -- don't think that it's defensible that that a guy who's on the Boston city payroll. Who is who who is are resting. People of all different races refers to a guy ever have a member of another race as a as a jungle as a banana eating jungle monkeys. Then again it really got read the entire -- The entire email it's it's it's -- at the Boston Herald dot com and probably other places as well and he's using the word at. They ax for ask. I think that they have the right to get rid of this guy the end I wouldn't want them around and and another thing is. How were they ever gonna make any convictions stick that this guy when this guy he lugged lugged blacks. I mean any anybody who got arrested by Justin Barrett who's black. Or probably even Hispanic. And probably white for that matter now that I think about it. Is going to be is gonna be -- they're saying this guy arrested -- he this is this. Go look at look at this say email this is the way the guy thinks I. I don't think it's right I think I think a lot of cases I don't know why you I don't know how many arrest the guy makes I don't know -- what he does. It in the area on the job or did do want the job but I gotta think that all the cases everybody here rested his don't know is gonna walk."

" 18774694322. By the way before we get any further here. There's a there's an amazing story about us stimulus money is the one I'd just argue about the you know cash for -- here.
