Time Text
Yes, greetings and welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We come to you from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
There are no graduates, there are no degrees.
The learning never stops.
Just a bunch of ever increasingly intelligent and informed scholars here at the Institute.
And you are among them.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
Email address, rush at EIBNet.com.
A couple things.
We're up to 131,100 now on the uh eBay auction for the Harry Reed Smear Letter to Mark Mays, the CEO of Clear Channel Communications, the syndication partner for this program.
And we're now into the final day.
We've got twenty less than twenty-four hours at one o'clock tomorrow.
The auction will end.
And at that point, we will have a high bidder.
And we will vet the high bidder, and uh high bidder will be, I'm sure, qualified, because everybody has to pre-qualify.
And so the letter will go out.
Uh we're still working on how we're going to make the presentation to the high bidder.
Remember, I'm matching this.
The the uh proceeds go to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, which provides college scholarships for the children of Marines and Federal Law Enforcement officers who are killed in a line of duty, killed in action.
Twenty-nine million dollars raised so far.
Really do great work, and it's a it's a tremendous group of people who are behind the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.
Ninety-nine point nine percent of every dollar donated goes to the charity.
There are heart there aren't any administrative costs.
Uh the Zilch.
Uh it's a it's it's practically a straight pass-through.
Uh, and that's that's another one of the things that makes it uh very attractive.
Now, again, uh, folks, there's a PDF file at Rush Limbaugh.com, uh, which is a copy, full color copy, four pages of the Dingy Harry Letter.
People throughout this week have been saying, look, why don't you put copies up there we can bid on?
Because I, you know, I I I would like to donate to the foundation, but I can't afford where the current bid is.
Uh we're giving that away.
If you want to make a donation to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, there's a link at Rush Limbaugh.com uh right at the top of the page, right along with the eBay link and the widget that shows the current bid.
Uh but if you if you uh whatever a buck, five by whatever you want to donate, you can, but you don't have to.
You use download and have a copy of the uh of the dingy Harry letter and the signatures.
And I did the scan myself.
So it's flawless.
It is a flawless scan.
Even the two flaws in the original, uh, which are on page two will show up.
Uh, especially you can see them on a computer if you just enlarge the file, enlarge the page.
Uh, two little flaws, and they add to the authenticity of uh of this.
It's it's just been a tremendous uh hoot uh all week.
A great amount of fun.
And I can't tell you we've done all this without the drive-by media.
There hasn't been one mention of this outside of Fox News that I know of.
Uh uh and I was the first hour of the program today, I was laughing because I was reading one of the New York newspapers today, and some model, somebody had auctioned off some article of clothing or whatever for some typical cause, forget what it was, doesn't matter.
Forty-eight thousand dollars.
They were just going, oh, what a wonderful thing to do.
What a discount.
Here we're up to 131,100.
We've done this without the drive-by's.
We have turned this around on these 41 senators.
Don't you know they are livid?
I mean, we don't know, but we know they have to be livid.
The drive-by's have to be livid that this is working and is is uh doing so well without their involvement.
Now, the second item is I mentioned in the last hour, the video of the entire uh Rush to Excellence of uh tour appearance in Philadelphia uh last Thursday night.
We just got the video today.
I thought we were gonna get it on Monday.
We just got it today.
We're encoding it now.
It will be on the website for members tonight at Rush 24-7 when we update the site to reflect the contents of today's program.
That's usually between 530 and 6 o'clock.
So the video will be there and up and running.
It's a trumpet fanfare folks, and it means it's time for a feminist update.
So we go back to our grooveyard of forgotten favorite archives for the theme.
Actual audio is real here.
Actual audio from a pro-choice rally amongst the nags and the feminazis back in the early 90s.
Uh Mixed with the Forrester sisters and men, and it's our official feminist update theme song.
All right, here is the feminist update.
It is from Lives Science.com.
Feminists have more fun, is the headline.
It's a perfect example, this story of using stupid, never-ending studies to change what we know to what they want us to know.
Feminism boosts sexual satisfaction for both men and women, a new study suggests.
B.S. B.S. Folks, 56.
Well, well, I'm not going to say how many years' experience, but I'm telling you, I've been through the feminist jungle out there.
It ain't true.
I don't care what studies they want to cite.
Here's the next line.
Busting stereotypes that peg feminists as ugly lesbians.
Um what stereotypes?
A new study shows that having a feminist partner is linked with healthier, more romantic, heterosexual relationships.
The study published online this week in the journal Sex Rolls.
Relied.
Get us a subscription of that, Dawn.
We have all these magazines that are out there.
We never heard of them.
Sex roles.
Relying on surveys of both college students and older adults.
Uh finding that women with egalitarian attitudes do find mates and men to find them attractive.
In fact, results reveal they're having a good time, maybe a better time than the non-feminists.
Both men and women are prone to holding negative views of feminists, the authors say, along with the sexually unattractive stereotypes, some women also view feminism as a movement for victims, or for women who aren't competent enough to achieve success on their own.
This, according to uh Rutgers University researchers.
That's not how I see them.
I just see them as miserable and unhappy.
Feminists are feminists because they're unhappy with how it's not like human nature because uh human nature was so unkind to them.
In a uh the special look at the undeniable truth of life number 24, folks, authored by me back in the late 80s, feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
College-age women uh who reported having feminist male partners also reported higher quality relationships that were more stable than couples involving non-feminist male partners.
Oh.
So traditional guys are just a bunch of lugheads and rogues, and you can't count on them in predators, but these chicken guys, the feminist guys, why, those are the ones you can really have a great time.
Those are the ones you can control.
Those are the ones you can manipulate.
Those are the walk all over, those are the ones that are so henpecked, the only thing they do behind their feminist wives' back is zip her up.
If she ever wears anything that needs to be zipped up.
Folks, let's let's be honest about something here.
Let's just let's just cut to the chase.
Feminist male partners.
Which is funny, because we know that feminist male partners come with batteries.
Yes, my friends, having uh more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone, and uh let's grab some phone calls because people have been patiently waiting here.
Steve in Vermont on a cell phone.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Thank you.
How are you doing, Rush?
After that last feminist segment that you had, I'm not sure if this is a great the right lead-in call, but I actually happen to know your dirty little secret.
You are truly a normal person from a regular plain old town that uh you're just uh uh a nice guy that has made it good, and you've got the job of your dreams, and you know, if we the citizens could have the uh citizen gold medal, boy, you would take it.
I really appreciate it.
I'm a guy of um modest means.
I haven't got a lot of dough, but after this letter that you've got up for auction, uh, there's no way I'm gonna bid a hundred and seventy thousand dollars, but um I can definitely scrape up ten bucks, and I'm gonna definitely I'm gonna give it to the Marine Corps League, and um that's the best I can do.
Uh well, I can't outbit everybody in in in in and get that letter, but I I can sure scrape up the ten bucks to do it.
Um I just want to let you know that you're you're a dirty little secret is a very good thing.
Well, God bless you.
God bless you.
Thank you very much.
What let me you say it's a dirty little secret.
How how can it be a secret that I am a normal guy?
Well, you put on this um air of like a larger than life figure, which I suppose you have to do because that's what you get paid to do.
But you know, really truly underneath.
I mean, you're no different than me or the next guy walking down the street.
You're just kind of a normal guy.
And um I I just uh I it it comes true to a lot of people that can really understand the way that you talk and the way you're gonna be.
Pretty astute of you, but I just I have to say I am larger than life uh in uh in a lot of ways, while being normal at the uh same time.
You can do both.
Uh I have demonstrated it's very nice of you to say this uh stuff, Steve.
I appreciate it.
Thank you uh so much for calling.
Uh Bill in Lawris.
Is that right?
Uh Laura, South Carolina.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Thanks for holding on.
Thank you, Rush, and uh I hope you've had your shots because I'm sending you up some dirty south dittoes from the redneck capital of the world.
You're talking about the NASCAR stuff of the Democrats needing inoculations in order to go to a race in Charlotte, right?
That's right.
That's right.
And uh I wanted to make a comment uh on the um the the Turkish atrocities.
Um condemning the current government of Turkey for something that happened so long ago, it would be like another country condemning Nancy Pelosi for slavery in our country so many years ago.
Uh this is true.
Uh, but this is liberalism.
Liberalism is constantly feeling guilty, and they want to make excuses, and everybody's a victim, and they want to apologize because they want people to know that they are good people.
Actually, they want other people to apologize.
Liberals never have to apologize because they never do anything that requires an apology.
Now, since you brought this up, Bill, listen to this.
This is from Bill Salmon today in the in the Washington Examiner.
There's a story out of Columbia, South Carolina.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain said yesterday the Senate should apologize for slavery and segregation, calling them dark days or dark chapters in our history.
McCain said he would support a uh planned resolution by Sam Brownbeck, who is also seeking the presidency.
Well, he's dropped out, I've heard, uh, to apologize for racist laws, some of which ended more than a century ago.
This makes your point.
The current Senate did not author those bills.
The current Senate had nothing to do with it.
The current Senate cannot apologize for what the old Senate did.
Now, if they if McCain wants to apologize personally for it, uh whatever for whatever reason, I mean, if here we are in a presidential primary, and he's trying to resurrect himself.
And by the way, I should point out that there are a lot of people, well, I don't know a lot, but there are some in the drive-by media who claim that he has revitalized himself.
Joe Klein is one of them.
I'm looking for the um piece now that I've got too many stacks here.
Um anyway, the starting to revive himself.
John McCain is back.
Well, not with this.
This this this uh you know what he's trying to do with it, he's trying to get his base back, and who's his base?
The drive-by media.
Uh, this this is this is this is nonsensical.
It goes straight to the point that you were making.
Here's Penny in San Diego.
Hi, Penny, nice to have you with us.
I I I gotta tell you, I am here to say that you are not an ordinary man.
I I heard that gal hitting on you last week, and it was sizzling radio.
I I tell you, my the reactions to that that I got ran the gamut, Penny.
It was incredible.
I had people saying, Gosh, get a room, go take a shower, don't do this in public.
Oh, I was just minding my own business here.
Well, I am not a feminist, and I don't think she was either.
No.
No way a feminist would uh would uh would would behave that way.
Well, it might be but that not the way she did it.
She was uh she was smart.
Right.
Well, I I would like to give a shout out to my two favorite men in Indiana, my father Larry Preston, and happy birthday to my father in law Henry Hendrick.
No, that's not why I called you.
I wanted to call you about the Morgan Stanley situation with them dumping the New York Times stock.
Yeah, go ahead.
Well, I I know you I know you talked about it yesterday, but I have to tell you what I did.
About three weeks ago, I called them and told them how upset I was about what they did to uh General Petraya.
And I called their advertising department, I called their circulation department, and I called their um subscription department and told these people that I hoped that I would continue to hear of falling advertising revenue, falling subscription rates, and falling share prices.
And you got what you wanted.
Yeah.
And and so this is another example of the fact that we are winning because people are listening.
And it it's it's really it's it's because of you and and those like you that are that are giving us a voice.
Well, you know what the it's interesting about the New York Times, uh the you talked about it yesterday as you said, there they're two classes of stock.
Uh the family owns one class and it's the only class that can vote.
And then there's the other guys, and then Morgan Stanley, they they've had a guy there that uh forget his name, but he runs a unit, and he's been expressing his dissatisfaction with the performance of the New York Times company.
Uh they own a lot of things.
They own a lot of little newspapers, they own the Boston Globe.
I think they still have some TV stations, although they might have sold them.
They had some classical radio stations at one time.
Um but the stock prices plumbing, circulation is down, advertising revenues are down.
Uh the the Schultzberger family is not going to let this paper get out of their hands.
Now, it may not look good for Pinch, Arthur Schultzberger Jr. right now, but the there are a lot of people on the conservative side that are fantasizing about the New York Times going out of business or at least leaving the Schultzbergers' hands.
I just I just I don't see that happening.
But there's there's bound to be huge trouble.
One of the one of the financial problems that they're having, by the way, and people don't talk about this.
There's a there's a blog out there that spends a lot of time if you really want to find out what's going on with the business side of the New York Times, go to the American thinker Thomas Liffson writes about this uh uh at suitable uh intervals.
But Pinch went out and spent all kinds of money on a brand new building in Times Square for the New York Times.
And this is a it's it's it's just been a huge drag, and of course it has nothing to do with generating revenue, and they're having trouble doing that.
Their audience uh they're making no attempt to to make this a paper for virtually everybody.
Their audience is as restricted and niche uh as as anything is, although it's large because they've got most of their subscribers are in New York City and they're liberals.
And so they've decided that's who their audience is gonna be, uh, rather than try to branch out and make it a paper that anybody would like to read uh from front to back.
It's just it's uh it's it's become the official rag of the arts and croissant crowd.
Uh and people who live in dream worlds uh think they're important when they're not, think they're relative when they're not.
Uh relevant when they're not.
Uh I'm not talking about the right, I'm talking about who reads this paper.
Uh the the staff has got some good journalists there and good reporters, but on the op-ed page, you can't tell the difference than that in the front page.
And so content is also a factor in what's happening, but really some pretty poor business decisions have been made by little Pinch, and they're coming home to roost.
And that's the investors are not dropping out because of the move on dot org ad or any of that.
It's a business decision.
Back in a second.
Well, um, just checked the bid at uh at eBay, 131,325.
I have never seen an increment other than 100.
So 131 comma 325 on the eBay auction for the Dingy Harry Letter.
The auction expires in 23 and a half hours.
It is Hassan El Masri is the Morgan Stanley guy tried to force the New York Times in a little pinch to uh reform their two-class system of shareholding.
Uh, and since the Times family is not going to give anybody other than family members a vote, uh, Morgan Stanley took their cash out, sold her stock.
Now, somebody bought the stock.
You know, when you when you dump stuff, if you sell it, somebody has to buy it.
Wouldn't it be funny if some do buy bunch ended up buying the Morgan Stanley shares in the New York Times?
All right, the House has as expected failed to override the president's veto of the S chip bill, the uh the state children's health insurance program.
You gotta listen to here's Nancy Pelosi, you gotta listen to her two, we have two sound bites, and impassioned uh speech imploring the members to do this for the children.
We had a decision today to override the president's veto, which would be, in my view, the right thing to do for our children and for our country.
It's not about compassion, it's about fairness.
It's about fairness.
And this is a bill, again, that has been bipartisan in its development, and required enormous sacrifice from the Democrats in the House of Representative.
Oh my god.
This is what is achievable for the children.
It should have been signed by the president.
There is no reason that he has given that is consistent with the facts.
That is embarrassing.
That, folks, is literally pathetic.
It is embarrassing.
It's about fairness.
It's not about compassion.
It's what are they giving up on compassion?
Fairness?
Fair to who?
And then this is something that has been required enormous sacrifice from Democrats.
Here's the second of our two bites that we have.
Come forward on behalf of the children, and let's truly send a signal that we are about the future.
I tried to do that when I was sworn in by being surrounded by children.
It was a spontaneous moment, but it was one that was clear in its message.
We are gaveling this house to order on behalf of the children.
There is nothing more important than we have to do in our work than make sure that our children are healthy and safe.
Today we have an opportunity to do that.
Let's not miss that opportunity.
Let's give a vote for the children and against the president's veto.
Yeah, well, it all went down in flames.
They needed 290 votes.
They did not get it.
The override failed.
The veto has been sustained.
Mrs. Pelosi now has been documented yet another leadership failure.
This was this is pathetic.
This is this is embarrassing.
Let's do it for the children.
It's worked for them in the past.
Everything's for the children, but this bombed out big time.
Let's go to presidential politics here for just a second in the uh the Hill newspaper today.
There's a story by Bob Kusack in which Mrs. Clinton is saying she has 35 years of experience.
You know, she's being hit pretty hard by Barack Obama, who's fading away, by the way, big time.
And the Breck girl, and the Breck girl uh is isn't having experience.
What experience does she have?
Um it's getting a little rough out there, so Mrs. Clinton feels a need to come forth and suggest that she has a lot of experience in a concerted effort to deflect these attacks on her credentials.
Senator Hillary Clinton and her allies repeatedly say she has 35 years of relevant experience.
Now she's only been an elected official seven years, but the drum beat of soundbites and statements touting the 35-year Figure appears to have paid off.
Even her Democrat rivals prefer to assail her electability rather than her experience.
Well, what is what experience does she have?
You know, folks, she's got 35 years' experience in bimbo eruptions, and I'm not trying to be funny.
Well, Dawn, you can sit in there and laugh, and I know it is funny, but she does.
Thirty-five years experience of bimbo eruptions.
But what else does she have experience doing that you can point to and say it was done well?
She took over education in Arkansas.
I think Arkansas ranked like in the low 40s when she took over.
When she left, when they left, she was through right.
It was 49th.
She bollocks that.
She uh, you know, the only thing you could say she did well and did right was the cattle futures thing.
$10,000 became a hundred thousand or a thousand became whatever it was.
But she she goofed up the administrative administrative duties of the of the health care plan in 1994.
Uh 93, she messed up uh handling the Paula Jones case.
Uh I you know you can go down a list of things here.
This is I I ask people every time Hillary comes up, uh they start talking about her, and I just stop.
Stop.
Would you tell me why in the world we're even talking about her?
Why in the world does this woman qualify as being the only one person who can be the architect of health care reform in this country?
Where did this notion settle in?
The first time she tried it, it was horrible, and the details of her plan were frightening.
It went nowhere once people found out about it.
Would somebody where does this assumption come from?
Uh it's remarkable that somebody who really has done nothing of any consequence, even in the Senate, frankly, can talk about how she's going to change various industries, how she's going to fight wars.
If she's elected, folks, she's going to have less experience than any president who comes to mind.
Her entire record, such as it is, is full of talk about what she supported, uh what she said 35 years ago, where she traveled to, who she spoke to.
There's nothing there.
There's no there.
All she can point to is the things she cared about, the things she thought about, the people she fought and beat.
Uh but there's there's no resume here.
And I think, you know, this is something talking yesterday, but don't accept the premise or the various premises of liberalism.
And one of the premises here is she's the smartest woman in the world.
Evidence, please, can we have the evidence?
The only woman who can handle health care.
She cares about it so much.
Evidence, please, can we see the evidence?
She was not a great lawyer based on her own activities in Arkansas.
She's never run anything of consequence.
She never produced anything.
She never employed more than 14 people or so in her Senate office.
She can talk about bill, but she doesn't have to make that payroll.
You make the payroll.
You pay for her staff, you pay for her.
She can talk about bills that she introduced and advocacy groups that she supported, but that doesn't mean very much.
She damns every industry and insists they need to be controlled by government, their profits need to be taken.
We have we have been sold a bill of goods, ladies and gentlemen, about how smart and about how experienced Hillary Rodham Clinton is.
And the fact is she has never shown us anything.
In anything that she's ever done.
How smart she is.
She has no experience that relates to serving as president.
The things that we know that she's done, we all question.
And we all wonder why in the world she's being receiving accolades for this stuff when they were botched.
Yeah, I mean, she was first lady, but I'm talking about the kind of experience you earn on your own that makes you prepared for the presidency.
First lady is a first lady, but at the end of the day, nothing was on her shoulders.
No full-fledged constitutional responsibility was on her shoulders.
And she didn't get elected.
She probably doesn't realize that.
Blue plate special, buy one, get one free.
She probably thinks she was, but she wasn't.
So she can take on whatever she wanted to take on at her husband gave her.
At the end of the day, it's not her responsibility.
She's never been a diplomat.
She's never been a governor.
She's never been a general, never worked in any of the industries that she wants to regulate.
Quick timeout.
We'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere.
You gotta hear this, folks.
Fortney Pete Stark, member of Congress, California, on the floor of the House today, lost it.
In uh comments he made on the war.
Republicans stood up and tried to have his remarks taken down.
Uh that's a uh a formal procedure to punish a member of Congress for breaching the House's standards of decorum.
Fourtney Pete Stark.
They sure don't care about finding 200 billion dollars to fight the illegal war in Iraq.
Where are you gonna get that money?
You're gonna tell us lies like you're telling us today?
Is that how you're gonna fund the war?
You don't have money to fund the war or children.
But you're gonna spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement.
They have lost it.
If there is any doubt, they have totally lost it.
This is probably, I don't know for sure.
I'm gonna speculate since he brought children into this, that this isn't the some of the debate, the speeches prior to the uh override vote on the uh on the S chip bill.
Because he said here, you don't have money to fund the war or children, but you're gonna spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough, meaning to hit 18, because they're gonna die because we're not gonna pass the S chip program, is the implication, for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement.
Since he didn't single out any particular Republican by name, the remarks were not taken down.
But he was talking about the Republican.
You gotta play this again.
I know you want to hear this again.
Listen to it again.
They sure don't care about finding 200 billion dollars to fight the illegal war in Iraq.
Where are you gonna get that money?
You're gonna tell us lies like you're telling us today?
Is that how you're gonna fund the war?
You don't have money to fund the war or children.
But you're gonna spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement.
The uh National Republican Congressional Committee declared that he had trampled on the sacrifice of our troops with this comment.
This guy, look, he's long been a wacko.
He's from the Bay Area, long been a full-fledged, certifiable nutcase.
Probably shows up to the House in a little yellow bus every day, and then goes back to the happy home at the end of uh of the House session.
This is who they are, folks.
Now, I know a lot of people, Rush, this is not all Democrats.
This is you you can't generalize like that.
He is much closer to them than you might want to admit, much closer to them than you realize.
He's certainly a dead ringer for the people on their blogs out there that are yanking the chains, the kind of anti-war activists that Dingy Harry goes to see on a Monday night that nobody knows about until afterwards.
That's the way they think.
Those are the people telling Dingy Harry what they're unhappy about, and these are the kind of people Dingy Harry has to try to keep happy.
Same way Pelosi.
These heard her complaining and whining the other day of all these protesters polluting her yard and her garden by hanging out there.
She couldn't get rid of them because they had impeached Bush t-shirts on, which meant it was a free speech issue.
Fourthney Pete Stark is one of those guys.
I mean, he's not out there on her lawn, but the way they think.
These guys are just their brain animal.
This is this is this is battered liberal syndrome.
This is I this is maybe maybe what's happening here is this amoeba, whatever this germ is that's that's it's ravaging the country's gotten into these people's heads.
By the way, Mrs. Clinton, one more thing on this before we grab a quick phone caller here.
Uh accessories or successes, successes that she has that she can hang her hat on cattle futures.
And what else?
Do you know what she's an expert in?
This is the I'm just gonna detail it because so many people I got the email.
Well, you can't say that bimbo eruptions, 35, 35 years experience in bimbo eruptions.
Let me tell you what she's an expert in.
Investigating, intimidating, and smearing her husband's other women.
That was her job, ladies and gentlemen.
Tapping phone calls and listening into the phone calls from a book by two New York Times guys who stand by the story that she was monitoring cell phone calls of uh opponents of Clans of Bimbo eruptions and this that that's her expert.
Her expertise is smearing, investigating, and getting rid of political enemies.
That's what she's good at.
And that's it.
David in Raleigh, North Carolina.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
You've been on hold here for quite a while.
I appreciate it.
Yes, sir.
How are you, Russia?
No, I'm never never never better.
Thank you.
All right.
Uh Rush, uh, been listening to you since the uh two election.
And uh if we didn't have you around, it'd be tough to navigate through all this stuff.
But uh, thank you for what you do.
I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Yes, sir.
I was on the couch yesterday evening uh finishing up my offering compromise to the IRS so I could get a life back.
And uh the evening news is on, and uh Charlie Gibson comes on after about three stories and says, Oh, and by the way, the news flow act today, he hesitated for a second or two, and then he said, There's none.
I said, have I gone to sleep and and and and look up and we have that sound bite, but before I play that sound, I got two questions.
Yes, sir.
It's October 18th.
What are you working on now for your taxes?
Well, I had some tax problems.
