Well, get this.
Out of nowhere.
In the last hour, the Associated Press releases a story.
Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democrat presidential nomination Tuesday based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a full campaign for the White House.
Now, just minutes and hours prior to that, we kept hearing he's 30 and a half delegates short.
And that there was no way he could get enough delegates in the two primaries yet to occur today.
And all of a sudden, AP just says it's over before the polls have even closed in South Dakota and in Montana.
What does this mean?
This means they want her out of there.
They are saying to her, look, Hillary, get out.
Quit.
It's over.
Time is up.
We don't want you around anymore.
Not even waiting for the results from tonight.
AP says it's over.
Associated Press says that Obama's effectively clinched the nomination according to their tally.
I have yet to see any other networks agree with this.
We'll see.
You know, this global warming business that's going on in the Senate, this debate here on the Warner-Lieberman bill, which is the single largest transfer of wealth in the history of the country, it's nothing but a massive, massive series of tax increases.
It is not based at all on saving the climate, protecting the country, the planet, whatever you have.
It is simply a huge power grab for huge government.
It has no chance of passing this time around.
Bush is going to veto it.
I don't think they've got enough votes in the Senate to override.
The House is nowhere near.
There aren't even enough Democrats that are for this.
I want to read to you some of the quotes from Democrats about this bill.
Jay Rockefeller, Democrat West Virginia.
This bill isn't going to go anywhere anyway.
That's something you have to put in the back of your mind.
I want more time and better faith from some of the principles in talking about my state of West Virginia.
Said this today.
Senator Ben Delson, Democrat Nebraska.
I'm worried about cap and trade, and I'm worried about mandating technology within a time limit.
And you've got to be sure that you can meet deadlines.
Senator Sherrod Brown, Ohio, Democrat.
I'm not going to let them be put out of business because some unfair trade advantage that China today enjoys.
Senator Kent Conrad, Democrat North Dakota.
I'm waiting to see how this plan is altered.
Where's the second page?
The second page is even better.
Don't tell me I got rid of this.
They have a bunch of quotes here from Senate staff, too, about Nancy Pelosi just taking them over the cliff on Barbara Boxer, taking them over the cliff on this bill.
This is, they're saying here, when gas prices are $4 a gallon, we're at the beginning of the summer driving season.
Why are we doing this when the opposition is saying that we're screwing the American consumer?
This is from Roll Call Today.
That's another Democrat.
This is what they mean about Pelosi.
Sorry, Barbara Boxer taking him over the cliff here.
So there's not even Democrat support for this.
Here's the problem.
McCain's for it.
We could ram this stuff down their throats, except our nominee is for all this.
He's for cap and trade.
He's for this bill.
So here we've got Democrats saying this, we're not on my watch.
We're not going to do it this way.
Not with gasoline at $4 a gallon.
There is no, hell no, don't count on us.
Our nominee is for it.
One of the participants today that testified before the Senate on this bill was the infamous George Soros, the billionaire the left has learned to love.
There was a story about Soros in the Financial Times.
Soros sounds alarm on oil bubble.
Soros says that the oil price is a bubble, exactly as I have said.
I have said that this oil price cannot be maintained.
What is it?
It's $126 today.
What's the oil price?
It's not showing right now.
But it's last time I saw it was $126, which is down.
It continues to fall.
It's not free-falling by any means, but it is slipping, the crude price.
Market can't support these kinds of prices for very long.
There was no way it was going to stay up there.
Now, the difference between me and Soros is that Soros is saying that the only thing that's going to break the bubble is the recession.
Because the recession, which, by the way, there's not a recession.
I don't care what Greenspan says.
I don't care what Soros says.
There's not a recession.
The economy is growing.
It may be growing at a small tiny rate, but there is not a recession.
And if you think there's a recession and if you're buying into this notion and you're living like there's a recession, it's your problem because there isn't one.
But Soros says the recession is the only thing that's going to bust the bubble.
And the way it'll bust the bubble is because the recession will cause so much economic hardship, there'll be no demand.
People won't be able to afford it, and that'll bring the price down.
Really?
I know a little bit about George Soros.
Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard the phrase talking up one's book?
It's an old Wall Street term for a speculator who takes a position, long or short, and then goes on television to predict the very position that he's taken.
So if you want to increase prices, you talk up the good points without telling anybody you have an investment or a bet.
If you want prices to go down, you talk up the scare tactics without telling anybody that you're short.
You're selling short up to the Keister.
So the conclusion here, ladies and gentlemen, I wouldn't be surprised.
Of course, I can't prove this.
We'll not know.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Moveon.org George Soros is loaded up with short sales in oil.
I could be wrong.
Except why now?
When oil prices are so high, so overextended, so vulnerable for a big correction.
Well, did Mr. Soros make billions driving down the price of the British pound?
He certainly did.
So I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mr. Soros up on Capitol Hill talking about an alarm on the oil bubble, meaning that price has got to bust here at some point.
Maybe Mr. Soros is selling short in oil, meaning he's betting on it to lose value.
He's betting on the price to go down.
Wouldn't be surprised, and it wouldn't be the first time somebody's done this.
This happens quite frequently.
Talking up your own book.
Brief timeout.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Folks, excuse me here just a second.
A little personal question to the broadcast engineer.
Ed, do you like these new bumper music tunes that I've inserted into the rotations since you were last year?
Thank you.
I know you would.
I do too.
Well, of course he could say no.
He could say no.
Staff here is entitled to say no.
But I can tell he meant it when he said yes, very much so.
All right, it was Quicksilver Messenger Service there.
Name of the tune is Fresh Air.
Our poster babe, poster child for Operation Chaos, is continuing to talk.
This is Harriet Christian.
You know, we had her audio soundbites yesterday from Saturday outside the hotel in Washington of the Democrat National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee.
She was on Cavuto's show yesterday on the Fox News channel, and he said to her, can you see any scenario under which Hillary Clinton wins?
If they had had and will continue to try to have a fair process.
What if she were the running mate for Barack Obama?
I would not vote for the ticket.
Why?
Because I still feel that Obama does not have the qualifications to steal the election away from Hillary Clinton.
Now, why do you say steal, though, Harriet?
He did win a lot of prime caucuses.
If you examine many of the caucuses, there were so many shenanigans going on.
How can you possibly say it was a fair campaign?
They locked people out of caucuses.
Now, Harriet, now, now, now, you're talking about the Clintons here getting aced out by this rookie.
Harriet, the problem is they thought they had this in the bag and they didn't put any time in on the caucuses.
And then Cavuto said, you're saying if he were a white man.
If he were a white man right now, he never would have jumped into the race with the inexperience that he has.
He was in the south side of Chicago and talks about the community work he did.
He was eliminating asbestos, which he never eliminated from low-income houses.
You agree with Geraldine Ferraro had said much the same thing.
If he were not African-American, then he wouldn't be where he is.
But you see how some would turn that around, Harriet, and say, that's a racist remark.
As far as I'm concerned, I am the furthest thing from a racist.
But again, I say I believe in equality for all.
Why aren't we given the same equal rights?
And I'm speaking about myself personally as a woman.
The question now becomes just how many women in the Democrat Party feel, as Harriet Christian does, that the Democrat Party's stomping on them and denying them access and equal rights and so forth.
How many women feel that way?
This election could be one of the most wackiest, one of the wackiest, most upside-down things to occur in my lifetime.
People have been patiently waiting.
Bozeman, Montana, this is Kelly.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi, Rush.
What a pleasure it is to talk to the field commander.
Thank you, sir.
You know, unfortunately, I think you'll probably bring me up on court-martial charges because I didn't follow the directions.
What did you do?
Well, you know, I was sitting in the parking lot at the polling place, and I called quite a while ago and had to wait.
But I got thinking about a couple things.
Well, first of all, you know what happened in the state of Montana about 132 years ago?
San Montana, 132 years ago.
Old Faithful went dry for a day.
No, it was in the history of military campaigns.
It was one of the most spectacularly, colossally bad, poorly fought battles.
That's when Custer died.
Oh, yeah, Custer's last stand.
Okay.
Yeah, so Hillary tried to make the last stand in this state.
And I've always been a little confused about Operation Chaos because the notion is you bludgeon and you beat up and you bloody Obama.
But I think he is the best possible thing for this country.
And let me explain myself.
And it's something you talked about, actually.
Congressional override of the veto, the presidential veto, got me thinking there is nothing that McCain can do to serve the interests of conservatism or the Republican Party.
So in my mind, I cast my vote and I fired my arrow at Hillary by voting for Obama because I think that our nation needs four years of undisputed control by the Democratic Party that will make the 70s, the late 70s, look like Camelot.
I bought my first home, 21% interest.
I had to carry on a second.
And it was dismal.
It was terrible.
And I think to make the patient well, you need to make the patient sick.
And before conservatism can come.
I wouldn't go that far.
I mean, sometimes this stuff sounds wise, but you don't want to make sense.
I know what you're saying.
We've said it on this program in our own unique fashion in the form of a posed question.
Which would, if we take a set of givens, Democrats have a 50 to 70 seat majority in the House, a 7 to 12 seat majority in the Senate, regardless who's elected president.
Okay, now, what's better for conservatism?
McCain to be the White House, and when the country goes to hell, Republican Party getting to blame for it, because the president always does, or Obama in the White House, or Hillary, and the country goes to hell, and the Democrats are running the whole show, which is basically the question that you posed.
You know, it has never been my advice, strategically, or policy to purposely lose elections, and it isn't that now.
That's not the case now.
As for Operation Chaos, you have not disobeyed orders.
You are not going to be court-martialed because there were no orders from headquarters in Montana.
We did not issue any Operation Chaos orders there.
And by the same, just so you understand, Operation Chaos was not organized, and its purpose was not to create a particular nominee.
It was to create total chaos in the Democrat Party so that whoever the nominee was, they've got a mess on their hands.
By all ways of measure, a dramatic and overwhelming success.
The purpose of Operation Chaos was also to bloody up politically, of course, Barack Obama.
An overwhelming, surpassing all objectives, success.
I understand your theory, and a lot of people probably agree with you to one degree or another.
Danny in Atlanta, we go to you next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rick, thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
I like you.
I am sick and tired of reading all these national papers, hearing on the news how bad our economy is.
Now, granted, I know, you know, there are some bad things and gas is going up there, but last weekend, I think they said Indiana Jones, it was $130 million is what it grossed.
So obviously, you know, we have money.
People are just choosing to do wrong things with their money.
And for me personally, I am a school teacher, not ashamed to say, made a little over $37,000 this year.
My wife is a stay-at-home mom to my two young daughters.
Despite that, we own everything we have, includes two cars except our house, which I just dropped down to a 20-year mortgage payment.
And we have no debt, and we have money in savings.
So, you know, for me, I just am tired of hearing people, you know, making excuses.
It's definitely hard work, you know, to accomplish what we have, but I think it can be done in today's times even.
I think, look, your situation is very admirable, and there are a lot of people like you in the country.
And I am, I, as Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos, am very proud of you.
That's you obviously have a strong sense of economic values and discipline, and you're sticking to it, which will stand you in good stead.
The idea of a recession, I'm really not sure how many people are playing along with it.
These polls that put out about what people think, I am so dubious of this stuff because I like you.
I look at the real world.
I look at baseball games on TV every night just to see the stands are packed.
It's not cheap to go to a baseball game anymore.
It's not cheap to park your car there.
It certainly isn't cheap to eat there.
The NBA Finals, smaller arenas, but the playoffs rather, they've been jam-packed.
You have, like you describe, people going to movies in droves.
A little cheaper than going to a ballpark or what have you, but there are still people spending money, and it's not a recession.
And I'm just, I'm a little bit more confident and optimistic that the majority of the American people are not playing along with that, as opposed to the media reports that most of America is down in the dumps and feeling hopeless.
I mean, in fact, that reminds me, there's a story I have here in the stack about hopeless.
And it is regards the drive-bys and what we supposedly have no hope about anymore.
I'll find it during the break.
I've got so many stacks here.
There's so much show prep that's assembled on a daily basis that I just, if I put it in too many different stacks, I won't remember what stack.
Ah, here we are.
We are.
It's an editorial from the Investors Business Daily.
The economy isn't hopeless, it's the press.
And here's the hopelessness list from the drive-by media: the war, the economy, gas prices, mortgages, global warming, summer vacation.
Public schools ought to be on the hopeless list.
But drive-bys never bring that up.
But all these things you're supposed to be hopeless about.
Let me share with you some of the points in this IBD editorial.
We come back because it's excellent.
Stay tuned.
As usual, half my brand tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Investors Business Daily and their lead editorial, actually, it's not an editorial.
It's a signed column by Dan Gaynor, the T. Boone Pickens Fellow and Vice President of Media Research Center's Business and Media Institute.
By the way, Gaynor, I think, is one of the guys who wrote that great piece that we have celebrated numerous times on this program in which he chronicles the 25-year cycles of media reporting on global cooling versus global warming starting back in the late 1800s.
I think he's one of those guys.
But nevertheless, the economy isn't hopeless.
It's the press.
One look at statistics, GDP growth to the unemployment rate, and it is obvious this isn't the worst economic time in U.S. history, but it might be the worst journalistically.
The major media give us only two degrees of economic news, close to apocalyptic and worse.
They are so outlandishly negative that coverage of the Bear Stearns buyout was vastly worse than reporting of the 1929 stock market crash.
As the stock market reeled from the Bear Stearns collapse back in March, ABC News asked, is the economy heading over a cliff?
Journalists made it seem so, calling the American financial system everything from bleak to a meltdown.
ABC, CBS, NBC made comparisons to America's worst economic turmoil, the Great Depression, more than 40 times in the first four months of 2008.
Compare that with how the New York Times summed up its own market outlook in October 30th, 1929, story after billions of dollars were lost in record trading.
Quote: Despite the drastic decline, sentiment in Wall Street last night was more cheerful than it has been on any day since the torrent of selling got underway, wrote the paper.
Words like optimism and hope shouted off the pages of major newspapers.
The October 31st, 1929 Times described the devastating six-day decline thus, the market quickly regained its poise and stability.
The same day, the Washington Post discussed the passing of the crisis.
The difference between how the media handled a crisis in 1929 and 2008 was astounding.
Network news was four times more negative about the Bear Stearns buyout than major newspapers were about the 1929 crash, which many historians linked to the beginning of the Depression.
Nearly 80 years later, the crash and a depression that followed are viewed as the great American trauma, as economist Murray Rothbard wrote in his book, America's Great Depression.
It's no surprise that with 22 million Americans exposed to this drumbeat of drivel on the evening news, so many fear another depression.
The Business and Media Institute analyzed two much-discussed weeks in America's stock market history, the crash in 29 and the week of the Bear Stearns collapse in 2008.
BMI compared stories of the 29 Wall Street Journal and New York Times and Washington Post with daily reports on ABC, CBS, and NBC in 2008.
We know what the results were.
The modern news media have no such confidence in the markets as the papers in 1929-30 did.
ABC found a dark cloud for every silver lining, saying, and everywhere you look, it's bad news.
On network news, that statement was accurate.
And so we have a hopelessness list: the war, the economy, gas prices, mortgages, global warming, summer vacation.
Hopeless.
Drive-by media portraying your country as hopeless.
I'm not convinced as many Americans are buying into it as the drive-bys would like.
Samira in San Antonio, Texas, you're next on the program.
Hi.
Wow, what an honor.
I've been listening to these people like Mona calling your program and complaining, and I'm calling to defend you, not that you need it, but first it was after the primaries.
Oh, it's your fault, Rush, because you didn't tell us who to vote for, and that's why we got stuck with McCain.
And believe me, I'm as frustrated as Mona is with McCain as a nominee.
But now they're calling you up and saying, well, now you're not supporting the third party, which I totally agree with you.
That's just going to hand the presidency to Obama.
You know, they're mad because they want you to tell them what to do.
They want you to fix it.
And to me, that is a quintessential Democratic complaint.
They want somebody else to fix it.
And I think they're missing the whole point of who you are and what your role is and what your goal is when you're talking to the American people.
You want, your audience are thinkers.
They're intelligent people that think.
And you want people to think for themselves.
You want them to make decisions for themselves based on the facts and arguments you make.
And your aim is to persuade them, not to control them.
Unlike the Democratic Party, who is largely driven by the media, their goal is to take the lazy or stupid Democrats who passively sit by their TVs and pick up the little snippet talking points that tell them what to think and what to do.
So, you know, to me, it's like would you stop, you know, don't whine and say, Rush, you didn't do this.
You know, you're telling us, you know, get up there and do something.
This is what's going on.
Make your own decisions.
You want us to assert our free will, you know.
And so to me, you know, people need to understand that what is your job, which, you know, you've taken on and done a fabulous job of informing the public and educating the public, and they need to stand what their job is.
You know, we need to hire you in our press relations department to help explain to Nimrods out there what this program's purpose really is.
That was said, I mean, 90% exactly as I would say it.
Wow.
Maybe even 95% exactly as I would say it.
Well, if I don't get fired from my boss when he hears that I called him to the show, then maybe you can convince him he needs to keep me.
Or I'll be calling you back for a job.
But, you know, I just get frustrated.
We're supposed to do something ourselves.
And what I think people need to do, and I think you're spot on in terms of the upcoming elections.
I mean, the president can't do anything if he doesn't have the Congress.
And since we're stuck with McCain, we need to make the most out of the situation.
A third-party candidate is not going to solve the problem.
We need to be pushing for the congressional elections.
I mean, that's how we stop Bill Clinton.
We had enough people.
We didn't have a majority, but we had enough people coupled with you and other talk show hosts to get the people motivated.
And that's how we stopped the Clinton's health care proposal and many other things and how we pushed Bill Clinton to become more moderate.
So we need to be focused on the congressional elections.
I mean, do what we can now to sort of salvage the mess it's going to be and keep pushing for 2010.
How much can Obama do or McCain do, especially McCain?
He can't do, you know, the kind of damage in two years that could be done if we hand it to Obama.
I mean, McCain, the reason for voting for McCain and the reason I'll probably vote for McCain is solely for foreign policy.
Either McCain or Obama are going to kill our domestic policy.
But if we can limit it to two years, then it may not be total destruction.
Well, there's a second reason that voting for McCain makes sense.
But there's another reason to put in that column.
Let me put it that way.
And that is taxes.
If, and I know this is going to be contradicted by his support for the cap and trade program, but if, and it's a big if, but right now he's saying the right thing on taxes.
He's saying he wants to extend the Bush tax cuts and he doesn't want to raise taxes and he wants to reform the tax code.
Everybody says that and that'll never happen.
But if his feet can be held to the fire on the tax question, which of course is a huge if, but he's admitted that economics is not his strong suit.
Therefore, he is going to be more reliant on advisors in that regard.
So that's a second.
We know with Obama, we're going to just get tax increase after tax increase.
It's going to be horrible.
With McCain, we're going to get some tax increase.
See, here's the, we've got to fight and stop the cap and trade program.
This stupid bill that's going through the Senate now that doesn't have a chance this time around, but they're going to keep bringing it back.
Those are the kind of things we can do.
But I want to say, Samiro, one thing in defense of the people that you have called and discussed here.
I understand where they're coming from.
There is a hunger because there is a vacuum.
There is no conservative leadership, no elected conservative leadership.
And you can say that people should go out and take care of their lives and do their own thing and not look to others to fix problems.
I don't think that's what they're saying.
I think in the case of Mona and others, they're very sophisticated, as you said.
They're aware that they can do all the right things in the world out there, but they don't have a vote in Washington.
They have a senator or two and they have a representative, but those people have caved on them, too.
There is not a voice.
There is not a single voice of leadership.
And people, no matter how self-motivated you are, when you're talking about national politics, national policy, the only vehicle to implement things you believe is a political party.
Media, we don't have any votes.
I can't, by virtue of vote, affect the way things go.
I can, you know, media can maybe influence the way people who are there vote.
But you understand what I'm saying.
And I believe, by the way, understand it totally.
They're craving leadership.
Well, and I agree with that.
I'm not saying that I don't understand where they're coming from.
But what I'm saying is if we need to get passion, I mean, we've got to face what we're facing.
McCain is the nominee.
If we try to do a third party, we're going to lose.
Well, yeah, of course.
I'm not disagreeing with that.
It is what it is.
Well, what I'm saying is get passionate about your local races.
Get active in your local races and try to get better leadership in Congress.
I mean, that's what we can focus on right now.
That's what we can get passionate about.
And while we do that, the conservative message will get out there to the people because that's who we're going to be pushing, conservative candidates and the candidates that we can put up there.
And that's what's going to have to be our passion for now.
And yeah, I agree.
I mean, believe me, it's overwhelming for me to think about what can I do.
I mean, you know, I'm a person that is a self-starter.
Wait a minute.
Wait a second.
Look at time's running short here, and I've got to go to a hard break.
But let me.
I believe you when you say it's a hard break, by the way.
Thank you very much.
Well, this is not a hard break, but it's going to be a hard break pretty soon if I don't take it.
Meaning hard to make it up.
But the point is, people think they can't do anything, they can.
I've tried to tell people for all these 20 years: learn to express what you think.
Learn the language.
Learn to engage people who disagree with you politically and ideologically.
Learn to persuade them.
Live your life the best way you can.
We all stumble, but live your life the best way you can with the values you hold dear.
And I maintain you will have no way of knowing how many people you really influence.
Many of the people you influence, you'll never meet.
They'll just hear you.
They'll just see you.
They'll just watch you.
You all have the ability to be leaders in your own way, in your family, at work, or what have you.
We all have the ability to take things by the reins and run with them within our own spheres.
My sphere happens to be a radio show.
Yours might be where you work or school or whatever.
Everybody has the ability to lead.
Everybody has the, now some don't have a talent for it, but everybody has the ability to persuade, to learn, to interact with people, to influence others.
Everybody does.
Because everybody does influence them.
Some people you meet, they influence you.
You don't like them.
Others you do.
You influence everybody you meet.
You cause a reaction in everybody you meet.
If you look at it that way and have a plan that says the way you influence or impact people is going to be positive, believe me, you'll do more than you can possibly even dream of doing.
Back in a moment.
I just got an email here from a guy named Mort in Keokuk, Iowa.
Rush, you think McCain's good on taxes?
You should quit while you're ahead.
McCain won't surrender overseas, but that's where it ends.
Sure, he gives lip service to tax cuts.
He lip services the liberal rhetoric on big shots like you being grossly overpaid and that tax cut for the rich stuff.
Go back to your instincts.
McCain's awful.
He'd cut a deal to tax the rich if the Democrats gave him amnesty.
He'd throw you and other conservatives right under your 12-cylinder foreign jalapi.
Mort in Keokuk, Iowa.
It has not been a good day for Senator McCain here on the Rush Limbaugh program in the EIB, nor has it been a good day for that stupid spokesman of his who was on CNN by the name of Steve Schmidt.
Is that the guy's name?
I'm looking for it.
Yes, Steve Schmidt.
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, I meant to mention this earlier.
I got caught up in the program today so much.
I've got to do this.
And I'm proud to do it.
We've got a brand new sponsor.
Whenever we have a new sponsor, we always herald them two or three times in their first week.
And our brand new sponsor, Joseph A. Bank, men's clothiers.
A little full disclosure here, Bob Wildrick, who is the CEO of Joseph A. Bank and has been for a number of years, a good golf buddy of mine.
In fact, after yesterday's show, when the first series of Joseph A. Bank commercials ran, he sent me a little notice that, hey, did you remember to tell people that I am the best-looking, most eligible bachelor on Palm Beach because I wear my own clothes?
I said, no, but I'll take care of it today.
They got a line of clothes I want you to try.
It's called the Stays Cool line.
Shorts, polo type shirts, dress shirts, casual shirts.
The dress shirts are Stays Cool is that exactly what they do.
It draws the moisture away from your body.
It evaporates before it soaks in the fabric.
You don't even know you are wearing these shirts.
Long sleeve, short sleeve, 47 exact sizes because your exact neck size and sleeve length are the keys to the perfect fit.
47 different sizes.
All kinds of colors and patterns from basic white and both button-down collar and a point collar style.
Stuff is just soft as it can be to the touch.
Dries twice as fast as a regular cotton shirt right away.
And these are 100% cotton fabric.
