Time Text
And greetings and welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you with us as always, Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man.
Some people over the weekend were even calling me Christopher Columbus for discovering new ways to do things.
Not only America's real anchor man, America's truth detector and the Doctor of Democracy.
Our telephone number, if you'd like to join us, 800 282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Now, my friends, we're talking about uh Obama today.
And by the way, you might be wondering, Rush, why are you saying my friend so much?
Because I'm trying to make it a little bit more palatable as often as Senator McCain says it.
So I figured I am I am universally loved and admired, and if I can say my friends and make it palatable, then it'll be palatable to you when you hear Senator McCain say it twice or three times every sentence.
At any rate, we've been talking about Obama here and his tax cuts.
If you're just joining us, he's gonna give a tax credit, $3,000 for every job create every full-time job created in the economy, but only for one year.
It'll expire in 2010.
Now think about this for a second.
Obama says he will give a tax break for cutting a job.
But you don't create jobs for tax breaks.
That's not why people go into business.
You create businesses to make money.
You need the capital.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that's money.
You need money to create your business or expand your business or run your business.
And you get that capital mostly by making a profit.
You hire more people, and if in doing so you can make more money per person hired.
That's why you do it.
You hire more people to create more productivity, to produce more, which leads to more profit per person, more money.
A tax cut does not cover the cost of hiring a person or create value when hiring a person.
If you're told, if you're a business, okay, we're gonna give you a $3,000 tax credit for every full-time job you create.
You know what the businessman's gonna say?
Okay, I'm gonna get a tax credit for three grand, but I gotta go out and hire my person at whatever salary it is, and then I gotta add the benefits package to it, and then I've got to do this and I gotta do that.
Now, what happens if the average businessman says this is a rotten deal?
I'm gonna be given a tax credit of three grand, and it's gonna cost me $75,000 or more to get it.
And I got no reason to make this higher right now in this economy because we're not growing.
So I'm gonna I'm supposed to be sucked in by a $3,000 tax credit to go out and expand my business when there isn't any productivity justified or might not be.
This is silly.
Now I'll tell you what's gonna happen.
And this is exactly what Obama's boys are planning on happening.
A lot of businesses won't take the deal.
And then Obama's gonna point fingers, they don't care about you.
Wall Street, Main Street, greed.
They could have had a $3,000 tax credit.
Now to you, $3,000 tax credit might be a huge deal if you don't have to spend any money to get it.
But businesses are gonna have to go out and spend money to get this tax break.
So what good is saving three grant for one year when it costs you $75,000 to get it?
So you opt out saying, no, no, thanks, Obama.
I'll wait till business circumstances warrant my hiring somebody, and I'll hire somebody on the basis that businesses do it.
He wouldn't know that, by the way.
He's never been in one.
And the one time he did work in the private sector, he considered himself a spy in there, as he wrote in his own stupid book.
And then when these guys do not take advantage of this, small businesses don't hire these people, then uh Obama says, Well, look at this.
Is it greed, selfishness?
You need profit to hire people, Obama, not government.
You need profit.
If you're gonna go out and hire a person, a tax cut based on hiring people doesn't cover the cost of hiring the person.
And I don't even think Obama cares or even knows this.
He's a socialist.
He simply cannot bring himself to leave businesses alone to make it easier for them to grow, or harder for them to grow.
He does not.
He does not have the slightest clue.
You know, he wants to micromanage the private sector with gimmicks like tax breaks for hiring people.
Why don't you just give him a tax cut, period?
Just cut the corporate tax rate, Obama.
Just do the simple way.
Just cut the corporate tax rate.
Obama could propose never going to happen, cutting the federal workforce and giving all Americans a tax cut.
But Obama, you're running for president, not CEO of every company out there.
It seems to me a president has enough to do than to try to manage every business in the country.
But Obama's trying to make you think that only Washington can manage everything correctly.
Only government can manage everything correctly.
Because after eight years of Bush and McCain, ta-da-da-da-da-da, we got a we got corruption of Wall Street, we got greed on Wall Street, got corruption on Main Street, we got corruption everywhere but Congress.
And of course, Congress is corruption headquarters.
All right, let's go to the audio sound bites, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh this is about acorn.
We got some bites here about Acorn and the uh drive-by is trying to suggest that uh uh Obama or rather McCain rallies are are full of racists and violent protesters and so forth.
Obama says that he had nothing to do with acorn.
His websites, I have nothing to do with acorn.
I never had anything to do with them.
I may have known some people there, but I don't know.
They were acorn is just some some group down in the down the street in the neighborhood had a sign out said acorn.
I don't think about acorn.
Let's go to December 1st, 2007, Heartland Democrat Presidential Forum.
Obama took questions from the moderator.
Catherine Hughes, Catherine Hughes says, Hey, look, if elected president, would you agree in your first 100 days to meet with a delegation of representatives from these various community organizations, the campaign for community values, so forth, could they count on you in your first 100 days to sit down with them?
Yes, but let me even say before I even get inaugurated.
During the transition, we're gonna be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda.
We're gonna be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.
So he's welcome.
He's gonna have he's gonna have acorn in without preconditions.
He's gonna have all these community organizations, and he's gonna let them set the agenda, and he's out there denying that he knows them.
Now, as you know, the liberals are hysterical about these McCain rallies.
They're beside themselves at the anger and the rage they say they hear at McCain rallies.
The hand wringing and complaining went right on through the weekend.
Here's a montage of the media hysteria.
McCain crowds have been increasingly rowdy.
Someone shouted off of his head about Obama.
She's inciting people to anger at these campaign events.
These crowds.
And these ugly scenes that have occurred in these rallies.
Yelling out from the crowd.
People gathered there, shouting out comments about Barack Obama like kill him, terrorist, treason.
It's kind of incited these crowds.
And I think that does get into dangerous territory.
A full bore attack on Obama's character, suggesting he's yellow, disloyal, and doesn't belong.
People in the crowds, Pabben saying terrorist, kill him off with his head.
An increasingly angry crowd out there.
There's some fear that one of these crowds could literally cause physical harm, the damage that that gentleman in Waukesha, Wisconsin, did to the McCain campaign when he stood up, his face contorted with rage, inciting hatred, division, fear.
You know, isn't that rich?
There's James Carville.
There's some fear out there, one of these crowds can literally cause physical home.
This is the guy promising riots last week on CNN if Obama loses.
Roger Simon of the Politico on CNN's reliable sources yesterday morning.
Sums up the drive by spin.
Howard Kurtz said Roger's certainly not saying that what people say these rallies, particularly if it's ugly stuff should be covered.
It's part of the story, but it seems the press has kind of adopted this theme that McCain and Paler are stoking the anger.
McCain and Palin are stoking the anger.
It seems to me that John McCain is riding a tiger, and he's trying not to fall off that tiger and get eaten by it.
This anger is coming from somewhere.
It is being ginned up by a campaign.
And it is logical, I think, to assume that these people are only responding to what they have heard from the candidate's mouth, and it's it's fair game, and it's in fact responsible for us to report how the crowds are reacting.
Well, isn't that clever?
It's it's responsible for you to report how the crowds are reacting.
Are you finding out if these people, five or six people in these crowds are maybe Obama plants?
You say the anger is coming from the candidate's mouth.
The anger is coming from what the candidates saying.
To the extent, Mr. Simon, there's anger out there, it's at the media.
It's at Barack Obama.
It is at a large segment of the country that doesn't seem to have a clue as to what Obama and his campaign hold for the future.
But the and there's also anger if you want to say on the Republican side that the nominee is not holding up his hand to the bargain.
In representing these people and what they stand for.
But they're not kooks and they're not crazies.
You want to hear a kook?
You want to hear a crazy?
You want to hear somebody who's inciting all kinds of bad behavior out there?
Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people.
Hillary ain't never been called the nigger.
Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky.
He was riding dirty in white America, US of KKKA, black men turning on black men.
I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it.
Not God bless America.
God d America that's in the Bible for killing innocent people.
God f America!
And now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards.
America's chickens coming home to roost.
Now there's Obama's pastor.
And the drive-by's don't even want to go there, and neither does Senator McCain.
Senator McCain says that Reverend Wright's off limits in their campaign.
Not even gonna go there.
We never heard drive by is worried about all the anti-Bush rallies that were hanging him in effigy t-shirts that said kill Bush.
These are people voting for Obama, Mr. Simon.
You haven't worried about any of the inciting to anger and danger and rage and riots.
Your own supreme campaign advisor.
James Carville promising alluding to riots if Obama loses.
You want to hear what it sounds like if you walk down the street on the upper west side of Manhattan holding a McCain sign?
You want to hear some real rage and hatred on the left in this country?
This is September 18th, the West Side of New York City.
A group of McCain supporters marching through the streets in the Upper West Side with signs, and here's a montage of the responses they got from New Yorkers on the Upper West Side.
You have no brain!
War, war, war, war, war, war.
American war fighter.
Not the Germany.
All right.
All right.
We did it!
Yes, we did it!
Go Lama!
Woo!
Woo!
I'm on the screen.
That's what happens if you form a McCain rally on the upper west side of Manhattan, go walking down the streets.
That's what'll happen to you if Obama supporters see you and are in the neighborhood.
Now, Sunday afternoon, MSNBC Live Craig Crawford of uh GQ Politics, or I'm sorry, CQ, Congressional Quarterly Politics.com.
Uh They played a clip of the guy in Walkershaw, Wisconsin.
In fact, let's play number seven.
Let's go number seven first here.
This is the guy that fired everybody up in Walkershaw, Wisconsin last Thursday.
I'm mad.
I'm really mad.
And what's gonna surprise you, it's not the economy.
It's a socialist taking over our country.
I think it's so important in today's country what we're really missing and what's going on.
When you have an Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of the hooligans up there gonna run this country, we gotta have our head examined.
It's time that you two are representing us, and we are mad.
So go get them.
So I played that clip for Craig Crawford.
That guy looked to me like a ditto head, I believe, from the Rush Limbaugh show.
He had all the makings of that.
And that's an audience that McCain and Palin do need to fire up to get and get out the vote in some of these closed states.
And we will take a brief.
I don't know what a I don't know, you'll have to ask to drive by uh journalist Craig Crawford, what a ditto head looks like.
I don't know what a ditto head looks like, but the drive-by seem to.
Since I am the number one ditto hit, I guess the guy looked like me, which is good for him.
By the way, folks, if you think I sound hoarse, you are right.
It was a raucous weekend.
I had to do a lot of talking over a lot of noise for two and a half days.
And I did give my voice a break part of yesterday afternoon or last night, and it's coming back.
It's even getting stronger during the program today, but that is why.
Now, is not this coincidental?
Is this not helpful from McClatchy newspapers?
Data prove untrue.
Charges that push for affordable housing caused crisis.
So McClanche's gone out and say, guess what?
All this talk about making people loans, giving them loans they couldn't pay, I had nothing to do with the current housing crisis.
Washington Post over the week.
I know the drive-by's had it.
Washington Post circling the wagons about this.
The Democrat National Committee and Pelosi got their willing accomplices, their marching orders, gave their marching orders, and the drive-bys have come through like champs.
But if, if it is true that all this irresponsible lending didn't cause the housing crisis, we just need to ask one question.
Why on God's green earth would any bank lend money to people who couldn't pay it back?
Why would they lend money to people with no income or low income who did not have addresses, who had poor credit histories?
Why would they do it, greed?
Where's the greed when you don't get paid back?
There was the carrot Fanny and Freddie buying up these mortgages, and the stick of the Justice Department prosecuting the banks for redlining.
But no greedy person I know would lend his money to bad credit risks.
And by the way, here the way this story opens up is as the economy worsens and election day approaches, a conservative campaign that blames the global conservative campaign.
This is simply a result of our own investigations.
We know who said what, we know who did what, we know what the purpose was.
We know what Barney Frank said, we know what Chris Dodd said, we know what they both did.
As the economy worsens, and election day approaches, a conservative campaign that blames the global no, we're not blaming the global financial crime, we're blaming the U.S. housing crisis, which led to this credit crazy anyway, on a government push to make housing more affordable to lower class Americans has taken off on talk radio and email.
To make housing more affordable.
See, to them, this is an honorable thing to do.
It's not fair.
It's not fair, Myth or Limbaugh, that you to have a house and other people have a house, but other people not have a house.
It's not fair.
And so we found a way to get people who couldn't afford houses to have affordable houses.
It's just affording with you.
Oh.
Media all in the tank, folks.
I've never seen anything like it.
We'll be back.
Soundbite city here, folks.
Listen fast.
Here's Obama in Toledo confirming the tax credit for every new employee that I mentioned earlier today.
We've already lost three quarters of a million jobs this year.
Some experts say that unemployment may rise to eight percent by the end of the year.
Always wrong, idiot.
We can't wait until then to start creating new jobs.
Of course not.
That's why I'm proposing to give our businesses a new American job tax credit.
Instead of giving tax credits to and tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, what we're gonna do is say to American companies for each new employee you hire in the United States over the next two years.
We're gonna give you a tax credit of $3,000.
That's the plan.
This is not why businesses hire people.
The cost of hiring these people will be far more than what Obama's tax breaks are.
This is this is uh it's just not possible.
It's not gonna work.
You cannot micromanage business this way.
People do not hire employees to get tax breaks.
It's gonna hire it's gonna cost somebody $75,000 to get that three grand.
And the tax, it's it's not even a uh it's a tax credit.
It's not even a straight deduction.
This is smoke and mirrors.
And he continued.
To fuel the real engine of job creation in this country, I've also proposed eliminating all capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses and startup companies.
They're the ones that create 80% of the new businesses.
And I've proposed an additional tax incentive through next year to encourage new small business investment.
Stop.
It is time to protect.
Now I don't know what this means.
And I hate to parse this, but I don't think he knows what he's talking about either.
To fuel the real engine of job creation in this country, I've also proposed eliminating capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses.
Now I look at folks, bear with me here.
I think I know what he's trying to say, but he didn't say it.
When you invest in a small business, in one way you could do it is if the small business is listed on a stock exchange and you buy stock.
Well, most small businesses are not listed.
So when you invest in a small business, if you don't own it, what do you invest how do you invest in a small business?
Well, you might maybe you give the small business, make a loan to the small business.
Or does he mean if you are a small business owner and you invest in your own business to grow it, then I will eliminate capital gains taxes.
I don't think there are capital gains taxes on your small business.
Now I I want to be I'm not I'm not totally sure here.
I mean, I have you know, I I do my I got a small business here, I do my taxes every year, and I don't I don't see a cap gains deduction that I take.
This I think is is the is the continuation of that stupid answer that he gave with the money, honey.
Maria Barcheromo on CNBC.
When Barcheromo asked him about it uh about capital gains.
So, well, we'll only we're only gonna tax uh capital gains, some big businesses, capital gains, uh, but some people are rich people we're gonna we're we're gonna stagger it.
We're gonna we're like progressive capital gains.
There's no such you can't make a capital gains tax progressive.
But that's what he said he was gonna, he didn't know what he was talking about.
Somebody else caught him on this too.
Might have been Lou Dobbs, I forget who it was, but somebody else was beside themselves.
He didn't know what he was talking about.
What a capital gains tax was.
Now I'm gonna eliminate all capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses.
See, most small businesses file as Subchapter S corporations, and a lot of small businesses are allowed to do that on their individual 1040 return.
We're not even talking about corporate taxes here.
I I don't know that he knows what he's talking about.
You can interpret this any any number of ways, but I'll guarantee you the way it's meant to be determined.
Well, it's class envy.
The logic is good enough for small business, well, fine, we'll do it.
We'll we'll we'll try to promote this and make people think I'm giving tax cuts to people.
Because everybody knows I think I think he's being nailed here on all of his tax increases.
Now he's just running, he's running up for any excuse to talk about tax cuts, tax credits, eliminating capital gains taxes.
By the way, I'll tell you what this is really about.
What this really about he knows that part of what's going on on Wall Street last week is the plunge is due to some people anticipating his economy.
Okay, roll roll the rest of this.
Let's see if we can make sense of any more of it.
To protect the jobs we have and to create the jobs of tomorrow by unlocking the drive and the ingenuity and innovation of the American people.
Stop!
Tape!
*sad music*
We have to unlock the drive and the ingenuity and the innovation American people.
What the hell do you think got us where we are in this country?
What do you mean unlock the drive and the ingenuity?
Obama, it's your party that wants to punish that.
It's your party that wants to shackle that.
Here's the rest of this.
Track the loan guarantees that we've already passed for our auto industry and provide more as needed so that they can build the energy efficient cars.
Not in Japan, not in South Korea, but right here in the United States of America.
Only government action can unlock ingenuity.
Only government money or tax cuts can accomplish great things in American business.
I mean, this is that that's that's what this all boils down to.
Uh let me grab a couple phone calls in here because we got lots more to go.
Robert in Florida, nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, how are you doing today?
Very good, sir.
Thanks.
I was watching um CNBC a while ago, and they had uh Tom Jurassic Park broke on explaining how the markets got in this big mess that we were in, and then he finally said, now what we're gonna have to do is someone's gonna have to take a look at debt.
We're gonna have to decide who can have debt, how much debt they can have, what size house they can have, what can you know where does this end with the socialist?
Brokaw said this thing these things?
Yeah, he did uh about 40 minutes ago.
He was promoting the I saw him on there because I was snurdley has uh CNBC on back in his office.
He likes some of the babes on that channel.
And I saw I saw that they were that that Brokaw was on there.
I thought it was broke off.
Yeah.
But I we didn't have a sound up to know what he was saying.
We're gonna we, Brokow speaking for we, we're gonna have to decide who can have debt, how much debt they can have, what size house?
Did he actually say what size house they can have?
Or are you just in it inferring that based on how much debt we can have?
No, he said once we get through this mess, we're gonna have to decide.
So we're gonna have to take a look at debt.
Who can have debt, how much debt they can have, what size house they can have.
And I said, wait a minute.
He actually said those words, what size house they can have?
No, I listen, I'd be willing to bet my small business income on it.
Which is not going to be much if Barack wins.
I'm sorry for laughing.
It is a it's a serious thing, it's just it's very likely.
Well, it is.
I I've told I've I'm I use independent contractors and I've told them flat out, because I I think I'm the last one.
Well, let me ask you a question about that.
Okay, you're an independent contractor, small businessman.
That that means, ladies and for an independent contractor, what it means is this poor guy gets paid the gross, whatever his business is, and I'm not asking here, whatever his business is, you get a bill for the full amount.
He's got to file quarterly federal and state, whatever estimated tax payments, uh every every basically every three months.
And I want to ask you, have you invested in your independent contractorship?
Uh yes, I have.
Have you gotten a capital gains?
Do you pay capital gains on the success of your investment in your in your business?
I've never heard of that.
I haven't either.
I I I'm still mystified trying to understand this one, which is my mistake because it doesn't mean anything.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
It's not supposed to mean anything.
It's supposed to he's just relying here on the lingo.
This is a way he can sort tax cuts, eliminate tax, eliminate capital gains tax, eliminate capital gains, because he knows he's getting hit on this um subject in the stock market.
Okay, well look, I appreciate that out there.
Robert.
This is where the socialists are heading.
Tom broke off from Jurassic Park.
Well, they can't come after my house because I'm I I I've no debt on my house.
I did not borrow any money to buy it.
I haven't borrowed money to buy a house since uh 1985.
That's the last uh and I I rented.
I rented until I could afford when after I sold that house in Saccharilla moved to New York, I rented.
And people said you're throwing your money away.
But that those first five years I was so damn busy that apartment was like a dormitory.
And just a place to sleep.
You know, leave the potato chips lying around, never invite anybody into it, just uh just a base of operations.
No, they can't kick me out of my house.
They might be able to kick me out of my house if I violate turtle lights, you know, and that sort of stuff.
But if you go out if limit the size of house people can have Tom Brokow, drive by media, uh Emeritus.
He still hosts Meet the Press now.
This is just limited.
I would have loved to have known what the info he would have been on with uh with the street sweetie.
If it was after two o'clock and he'd been on with the wonder what the street sweetie said to that.
Now I'm stuck here.
I'm I'm I'm not stuck.
I'm I'm conflicted.
I got fabulous audio sound bites, and I got some great calls here.
Let me let me let me take a call.
We'll go to the sound bites.
Uh, Mary in Bristol, Connecticut, thank you for waiting, and I'm glad you called.
Hello.
Well, hello, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
Just a couple of things.
I know you get embarrassed with all the praise people give you, but I have to tell you that I really feel like I might not mentally make it through the election without you and others like you.
Um who else is like me?
Oh, we have a couple here in Connecticut.
Just kidding.
You know, I'm just uh lighthearted, lighthearted.
Okay, okay.
I you know, I d I have to tell you, I I can't I don't have cable, so all I'm left with is you, the drive-by media, so I don't watch the news.
And what I get from you is what I need to hear and know.
And I could spend oh, about an hour and a half on the phone, because I sort of cover the gamut of topics.
I work for a small business as a bookkeeper.
And for me, that three thousand dollar, I don't know, tax cut, is that what he's calling it?
It's a tax credit to hire a full-time worker.
It's an insult.
It's it's an insult.
It's like giving a nickel to a homeless person and taking them to a five-star restaurant and say, here, go buy yourself a meal.
That's what it amounts to.
Yeah, but you know the purpose of it.
He knows people aren't going to go for it.
Absolutely.
He just this is just sounds good on a campaign.
Obama cares about business.
Obama cares about tax cuts.
Apparent Obama wants you to get hired.
And then when the businesses don't take this up, guess who he gets to blame?
Absolutely.
The yes, the people.
He goes populist, he blames the business, he gets himself more on the side of the so-called little guy who's getting a shaft.
What I want to know is why nobody realizes that this $250,000 number he's given for who now gets to be the rich person he's gonna tax more is DBAs, LLC, partnerships, and small S courts.
They might gross receipt anywhere between a half and a million dollars a year.
And if he taxes them on gross receipts before they take out their cost of doing business, even before they pay vendors.
It's that the That's so we don't know.
Exactly.
We don't know, Mary, and nobody's asking him about it because the the people that were you know responsible for finding this stuff out and telling us don't care what he means by it.
Oh, it it's so incredibly and of course I live in Doddland.
Oh, we cannot rid ourselves of that criminal no matter what we do.
Um and this if this state were any bluer, we could change its name to Smurfica, you know?
It is hard to be a conservative in Connecticut, my friend, let me tell you.
I know that because I got a couple conservative friends in Connecticut.
Go up to see 'em sometimes in the summer to play golf, and uh they take me out to dinner with their friends, and I t I can't handle more than an hour of it, and I have to get out of there.
I'm telling you I never hear such whining and moaning.
All they read's the New York Times is what the hell.
Oh, it's you know, you people need to join America.
You ain't it.
You feel this is not the way most Americans look at their day.
I am telling you the the New York Times, I call it the Treason Times, thank you, Ann Coulter.
Um where is she?
We need to hear from her.
Well, she's busy sequestered writing her next book.
You know how these authors are.
They'll stay up till four in the morning writing, and the shades are drawn, and the other one's only one light on at the computer, go to bed about midnight or uh or noon rather, whatever it is, and and uh she's she's she's book crunching from what I've been told.
That that I saw her Friday night.
Did you she is absolutely one of the single most intelligent women I have ever read.
Uh I cannot believe Well, she listens to this program.
She may not be listening to it now because she's book crunching, but if she's listening to it, she's agreeing with you.
Well, Annie girl, you go ahead and write another book, because I'll be the first one on line to buy it, let me tell you.
I I just really um I I just appreciate what you do, and it helps me when I'm talking to those in Connecticut who are daily sipping the Kool-Aid of the Obama campaign, to just stop them.
And st you know, they're all about, well, what about the oil companies?
And I cannot believe that people do not understand that the oil companies create a product that is sold on the market and they are entitled to their profits.
