Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
My gut is starting to talk to me, ladies and gentlemen.
As you know, and as I discussed over the course of the previous week, my gut was not giving me any indication whatsoever.
And my gut started talking to me last night.
Barack Obama's headed back to Iowa.
That should be a lock.
It's a dead heat.
Sarah Palin headed there on Monday to debuke Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Nevada.
Well, throw Pennsylvania out of there.
Florida, Ohio, Nevada.
Look like pretty good McCain certainties here.
Pretty good, depending on who you listen to.
It's Friday, and let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And we are getting a great indication today of just how Barack Obama will govern.
He has purged three newspapers which endorsed McCain from his campaign plan.
He is they are the Dallas Morning News, the Palm Beach Post, and the Washington Times.
He's going to replace them with Ebony and Jet and some documentary makers.
May put Maureen Dowd back on.
This is how Obama will govern, ladies and gentlemen.
Purging three newspapers that endorsed McCain off of the campaign plane.
The New York Post.
Did I say Palm Beach Post?
No, the New York Post.
I'm sorry, the Palm Beach.
I don't think a Palm Beach Post is on the plane.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh here at 800-282-2882.
The email address, Ilrushbo at EIBNet.com.
Open line Friday means when we go to the phones.
The content of the program is all yours.
It is, folks, my gut's starting to talk to me out there.
There's a lot of movement, and even the drive-bys are starting to chronicle this.
And a lot of factors are taking place, and now Obama is trying to lower expectations.
He's afraid that some of his mind-numbed robot supporters have all these utopian expectations.
He's trying to tamp them down.
We are not going to let him get away with this.
That's been his campaign for a year and a half or longer.
We're going to hold him to his expectations.
Radio's now being turned up coast to coast, volume being turned up because it's time for the Rush Limbaugh program in the EIB network.
By the way, uh newspapers endorsing Barack Obama see their earnings plummet.
Now that's my headline to the story about uh, you know, the the drive-by headlines are earnings problems at major newspapers.
Newspapers endorsing Obama see their earnings plummet.
The Washington Post uh post earnings are down something like 85%.
Uh their earnings are in the tank, just like their reporters.
The New York Times rating has been slashed to junk like their reporters.
And that happened, by the way.
There's their standard and poor's junk bond rating uh occurred precisely when they the same day they endorsed Obama.
And the Los Angeles Times also headed in the same direction because it refuses to report the news.
I saw something on television here just mere moments ago that I do not believe.
Study says that women candidates' looks are more important than a male candidate's looks.
That cannot possibly be true.
All you have to do is look at elected Democrat females to throw that one out.
If looks matter in electing women, there wouldn't be any of these most of these current Democrat babes would not have won office.
But they'd have to throw that in.
They're just this is an attack on Palin.
What this is, is it's it's another attack on Sarah Palin, who can she was on fire in LaTrobe, Pennsylvania today.
We have a full audio soundbite roster coming up.
And before we get into the meet the pro, I've got to share with you one of the funniest things I have ever read.
It is by the blogger Iowa Hawk.
And it is one of the it is one of the sharpest, most cutting, brilliant satires on the pseudo-intellectual conservatives who have gone over to Obama.
And it is a take well, let me just read the opening and you'll understand where it goes.
It's by T. Cottington Van Voorhees, the seventh.
Columnist, the National Topsider, membership chairman, the Newport Club.
When my late father, T. Cottington Van Voor, he is the sixth, founded the iconoclastic conservative journal National Topsider in 1948.
He famously declared that now is the time for all good conservative helmsmen to hoist the mizzen, pour the cocktails, and steer this damn schooner hard starboard.
In the 60 years since he first uttered it after one too many cosmopolitans at one of Pamela Harriman's notorious foreign policy black tie balls, father's pithy Bonmot has served as a rally and cry for conservatives from Greenwich to Chevy Chase.
Today I say it's time for we conservatives to once again grab the rigging and set sail with the flotilla of the true conservative in this race, Barack Obama.
Trust me, I haven't taken this tack lightly.
No Van Voorhees has supported an avowed socialist since great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, Grandpa Cragmont Van Voorhees lent Peter Minuet $24 and a sack of wampum to swing a subprime mortgage on Manhattan Island.
And we're going to link to it at Rushlinbaugh.com.
Uh it is, I just I don't know who this Iowa I mean, I've heard of Iowa Hawk.
I don't know what his leanings are, but it probably a lib.
I don't know, doesn't matter.
This whole thing is just wonderful.
It is just hilarious.
It sends up all these people on our side, these conservative intellectual oids who have decided to join the Obama Obama campaign.
Uh dead heats in two key swing states now, even the political reporting this.
Uh, North Carolina and Missouri, even though Obama strongly outpacing McCain in two of those states' crucial battleground counties, this is a political insider advantage polls.
I'm telling you, things are tightening up out there.
My gut tells me this can be one.
This is about turnout.
This is about voting.
This is about everybody showing up to vote.
I am getting emails from people who are literally scared of what an Obama presidency will mean to this country.
There is a I have never seen this kind of fear among people.
I mean, what what what we uh what we were getting in in uh in in reaction to Bill Clinton's candidacy in 1992 is nothing compared to the overall fear that I am seeing from people uh in the email, and when I talked to him personally about the election of Barack Obama, and I got this email, this is just one of several that I received last night.
Dear Rush, forgive me.
I was once an avid listener, but I had drifted away for a while due to not being able to hear you at work.
I had a long business drive yesterday and I found you again.
I need to thank you for reminding me why I need to vote Republican.
I've always been a straight ticket voter, but this year I've been disappointed in McCain.
I was a Huckabee guy from the start.
However, when McCain was chosen as our guy, I wondered if this was the year for me to vote libertarian or not at all until yesterday.
Fortunately, you read the blog from the ex-Obama campaign describing how the propaganda campaign was running.
I felt so stupid to realize that I too have been caught up in the anxiety that he said what?
And dismayed at the prospect of a race already over.
But thanks to you, Rush, I will full heartedly go to the polls on November 4th, and I'll touch the screen for McKay and I have realized that the only way to beat the socialist Messiah will be to actually show up and vote.
Your message has reinvigorated my passage for this election or passion for this election.
Thank you, Dan Wooten, who is from Elyria, Ohio.
It is a county where McCain visited.
Obama did not go there, according to Mr. Wooten, because Obama's too elite.
Now, if you were with us yesterday and you remember the blog post at Hillbuzz by the Obama campaign worker named Sarah...
Who basically threw the lid off what is actually going on in the Obama campaign.
They're not nearly as far ahead as they have convinced everybody in the Media and a lot of voters.
They're not everything about their campaign, seminar callers, seminar bloggers, seminar responders on YouTube seminar everything.
It is all image.
It is being done to craft this notion that there is no stopping Obama, that it's a fate accomplished.
The only problem is Obama's not behaving that way.
Obama's not trying to lower expectations.
He's going to states that we're in the bag.
Let me share with you another post from another anonymous person.
This also from the Obama campaign.
It's a woman.
And what we're picking up out there is that there really are a number of angry Democrat women.
They are angry over the way this Democrat Party is treating treating traditional Democrat voters, trying to destroy Joe the Plumber.
An average blue-collar guy, trying to destroy Sarah Palin.
These women do not like it.
Let me read you part four of this latest anonymous post from an Obama campaign worker.
This is a different one than Sarah P from yesterday.
This is a long post.
I'm just going to read you this one point number four, the Bradley effect.
Do not believe these public polls for a second.
I just went over our numbers.
Found that we have next to no chance, this is Obama, in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada.
Ohio leans heavily to McCain, but it's too close to call it for him.
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico, and Iowa are the true toss-up states.
The only two of these the Obama campaign feels confident are Iowa and New Mexico, but now Obama's headed back to Iowa on Monday.
The reason for such polling discrepancy is the Bradley effect, and this is a subject of much discussion in the campaign.
In general, we in the Obama campaign tend to take a 10-point percentage in allowing for this, a minus 10-point percentage for it in allowing this, and are not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark.
Let me pause here.
I granted an interview back in August with a guy from the UK telegraph.
That that uh interview was published.
It's a long story.
It's not bad.
The guy gets a lot of things wrong, but he's a better writer than a lot of uh a lot of our guys.
The things he gets wrong, he pulled out of the Nexus database.
Uh the got Chuck Norris living next to me and this sort of stuff.
But the quotes in it are good.
And one of the things I said to him is the Bradley effect.
I said, if if Obama's not up ten points or more going into this, then they're in trouble.
And here's this woman.
From the Obama campaign now posting, saying the same thing.
In general, we tend to take a minus ten-point percentage in allowing for the Bradley effect.
We're not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark.
That is why we are still campaigning in Virginia and Pennsylvania.
This is why Ohio is such a desperate hope for us.
What truly bothers the Obama campaign is the fact that some pollsters get up to an 80% refuse to respond result.
You can't possibly include these in the polls, but they are.
The truth is people are afraid to let people know who they're voting for.
The vast majority of these respondents are McCain supporters.
Obama's the hip choice.
And we all know it, and they're worried that hip does not translate on election day.
She continues here, as part of my research duties, I scour right wing blogs and websites to get somewhat of a feel as to what's being talked about on the other side, much of its nonsense.
A spirited campaign has been made to infiltrate many pro-Hillary sites and discredit them.
A more disorganized but genuine effort has also been made to sow doubts among the unapologetically right wing sites such as Red State.com.
Don't you guys get it?
This has been the Obama campaign's sole strategy from the beginning.
The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition.
This is how it's been for all of his campaigns.
What surprises me is that everybody's fallen for it.
You may point to the polls as proof of the inevitability of all this.
If so, you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book.
How did we skew the polls, you might ask?
It all starts with the media buzz, which has been generated over the campaign.
The media is now factoring the public mood.
In their waiting of poll results, many stories are generated on the powerful Obama ground game, and how many new voters were registered.
None of this happens by coincidence, all part of the poll skewing process.
This makes polsters change their mixes to reflect these new voters and tilt the mix more towards Democrat voters.
What is not mentioned or reported is not the underreported cell phone users or young voters we hear so much about.
What's underreported is you, the American people.
That's underreported.
I changed my somewhat positive opinion of this campaign during the unfair and sexist campaign against Sarah Palin.
I'll never agree with her on anything.
I'll probably never vote for her, but I'm embarrassed of what's happened.
I can't ignore our own hand in all this.
What I do know is I'm not voting Obama this time around.
Treat that as you will.
Yet another anonymous poster from the Obama campaign to go with Sarah P from yesterday.
It was on Hillbuzz.
And by the way, Sarah P's back.
She's got another one today.
And there are additional posts like this.
Now, you might be saying, Rush, are you sure this is not a setup?
Well, tell me something.
I share this stuff with you.
I tell you it comes from the Obama campaign.
Disaffected female members of the Obama campaign.
Does it depress you?
Does it inspire you not to vote?
Or does it do the opposite?
What could be in it for Obama to have people going on websites putting this stuff out?
I can't think of anything.
If you can, let me know.
Anyway, a quick time out here.
We've got lots to do on the EIB Network.
Sit tight.
We'll be right back.
Back to this political story for just a minute, because this is Obama's greatest fear.
Obama and McCain evenly matched in the swing states of North Carolina and Missouri, but Obama's strongly outpacing McCain in two of those states' crucial battleground counties.
In North Carolina, Obama and McCain tied.
48% of the vote, only three percent of voters remain undecided in Missouri.
McCain led Obama 50 to 47, an edge that was within the margin of error.
But in North Carolina's Wake County, part of the politically competitive research triangle area.
Obama is up by 53 to 39.
Now, what what all this means is that the Obama's greatest fear is big turnout in mostly ignored rural areas for McCain.
And not an not enough of a turnout, not a big enough turnout in these urban areas and in the inner suburbs.
Now, this article talks about North Carolina and Missouri, but I have to assume the McCain people think the same scenario could play out in Pennsylvania because they're there.
They have been there for the last week.
Also has a large population in rural and small towns, and it was in this state's primary that Obama made his bitter clinger remarks at the billionaire fundraiser out in San Francisco.
Look, the the folks, the the thing to keep in mind here is that these reports that we're getting from inside the Obama campaign from Disney.
Yeah, and Mirtha's.
Murthers asked for a million dollar in campaign donations.
I mean, he's in trouble.
Jack Mirth is in trouble in his racist redneck district, quote, Jack Mirtha, unquote, uh, near Jawnstown.
He's in trouble, and the uh there's there's a lot going on here that that um the the drive-by's are not reporting because they've been swept up in all that we have learned here from the inside Obama campaign that the entire campaign has been to create an illusion.
The entire campaign has been to create an illusion, starting with skewing polls and co-opting the drive-by media to make it look like this is a fate accomplished from the get-go.
And this is why in the past week to ten days, I've made the point repeatedly here not to fall prey to what you see on television and read in the dwindling editions of newspapers that are out there.
Here's Mirtha, his campaign fundraiser Susan O'Neill wrote in an email: we need to raise another one million dollars to compete.
We need money immediately.
Uh Murtha's spokes may blame Republicans from outside Pennsylvania for Murtha's problems.
Of course, the left never blames themselves for their problems.
But Murtha has sent out a last-minute plea.
By the way, his opponent's name.
For those of you in Mirtha's district is William Russell.
William Russell is opposing Jack Murtha.
He's a 46-year-old Iraq war vet.
He's a retired army colonel.
He has outraged Mertha so far.
As of October 15th, William Russell had raised 2.9 million dollars compared to Mertha's 2.2 million dollars.
Mertha begging for money.
This is delightful.
A Boston housing authority director says that Obama's aunt, Anne Zatuni, who has lived in a slum in Boston for five years as an exemplary resident.
And only recently did anybody know of her connection to Obama.
Now, folks, this sickens me.
This poor old woman who is living in her slum sweet slum is called an exemplary resident.
And nobody knew until yesterday when the UK papers got on it, that she was related to Obama.
God almighty help me.
I am so deeply sickened by this statement.
This woman lives in squalor.
She lives in a place no human being should be, not in this country.
She doesn't even have a decent cane to help her limp around her slum.
Her slum was created by liberal policies and politicians.
Her slum in Boston.
I mean, she's Barney Frank's close neighbor.
Barney Frank, the subprime mortgage molester, the champion of all things liberalist twisted bureaucrat in Boston calls her an exemplary resident.
It's open line Friday, L. Rushbow, America's real anchor man.
The nation's radios turn to their loudest volume.
Each of these three hours, each day.
As we emit vocal vibrations from behind a golden EIB microphone at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies, a Boston housing authority director, that means the slumlord, says that Obama's aunt, Aunt Zatuni, has lived in her slum suite slum for five years.
So she is an exemplary resident, and only recently did anybody know of her connection to the presidential contender.
This housing authority guy, this slumlord, is not flabbergasted about her living conditions.
He's flambergasted that she's lived there for five years and he didn't know who her relative was, Barack Hussein Obama.
This is how they look at everybody.
And by the way, let's go back to Obama's book, shall we, ladies and gentlemen, a portion of his uh own book, reading from his own book.
Dreams from my father, a story of race and inheritance.
Listen, my friends.
If Jane or Zaitoone ever fell ill, if their companies ever closed or laid them off, there was no government safety net.
There was only family, next of kin.
People burdened by similar hardship.
Now I was family, I reminded myself.
Now I had responsibilities.
Well, you haven't met him, old buddy old pal.
No safety net for Aunt Zaitoone.
I think there is a safety net called a Boston slum.
Slum sweet slum.
She's lived here for a whole bunch of years.
She's been in this slum for five years.
Your aunt Obama has been living in a slum for five years.
Your brother is living in a hut in Kenya.
And he says, I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper.
This this kind of stuff matters to me because there's so many people in this country who think Obama's gonna take care of him.
I I don't have well, I don't think I've got the audio.
Once again, I have this humongous audio soundbite roster.
It is great.
And I want to try to get to it.
But there are people who have been interviewed on the street who are saying Obama is gonna pay for my gas.
Obama is gonna keep me in my house.
There are people who believe this.
That's Obama's trying to dial back the expectations now.
No, of course it's not true, Sturdley.
What do you think he's gonna keep you in your house and fill your gas tank?
There are people who actually think this.
You can find him out on the street if you walk out there with a microphone and ask him.
Why, I well, that's exactly right.
Snurdley has uh a rare but brilliant point.
Why wouldn't they think that based on Obama's campaign?
Why wouldn't they think that that's exactly right?
We would hope they're they're not thinking it, but they're feeling it.
If they were thinking about it, they know it's not possible.
But here's the point, and I know.
I know that so many of you, many of you in this audience are Obama voters.
And I I know that you uh many of you are probably not all of you Democrats and liberals, but some of you are that are going to vote for Obama.
Don't you think it's meaningful?
You think it's relevant here?
Place down by number one again.
Here is Barack Obama reading his own book.
If Jane or Zaitoone ever fell ill, if their companies ever closed or laid them off, there was no government safety net.
There was only family next of kin.
People burdened by similar hardship.
Now I was family, I reminded myself.
Now I had responsibilities.
Well, uh not meeting them.
Aunt Zaitoone is living in a slum, folks.
Obama has lots of money.
Barack Obama has lots of money.
Ask yourself if you had lots of money.
Would you have a brother living in a tenement someplace, a one room hut?
Would you that you would not help?
Unless, of course, the brother, you'd already given the brother countless dollars and made every effort to get the guy to help himself, and finally after he didn't, okay, Belle, you want to live in squalor, it's up to you.
But if you you have a real world experience here, you have a real life experience with Barack Obama and two relatives that we know of living in absolute squalor.
And he is the man of great compassion, the man of great caring and concern, and he's gonna unify everybody, and he's gonna eliminate poverty.
Except in his own family.
Either that or he's gonna have us do it after he raises our taxes.
By the way, this is hilarious now.
As you know, we have chronicled Obama's ceiling on tax increases.
I should say the floor, whatever.
His that number's 250K a year, and it goes down to 150 if you listen to Biden.
By the way, they have sent Biden to the backwaters on the campaign.
Biden is well, you can't find him out there.
He's in states, but you don't know where he's in Delaware.
He's in a lot, he's in a lot of other places out there, and they've they have enforced the teleprompter on him.
They have enforced the teleprompter.
He I knew he would be the gift that kept on giving Stephen Greenhouse here in the New York Times for incomes below 100,000, a better tax break in Obama's plan.
The center-left tax policy center in this story tries to help out the Obama campaign.
They say that this.
We've all heard Obama talk about a tax cut if you make less than 250.
They say in the New York Times story today, when Obama says he'll cut taxes on families 150,000 or less, that part is true.
And this is in the New York Times.
They're essentially calling in a liar.
But not totally, because anybody making less than 150, I mean, it's it's pretty true.
Obama's plan, pretty true.
This story ought to be called the incredible shrinking Obama tax cut.
But the dirty little secret is once again, ladies and gentlemen, there will be no tax cut for anybody.
The Bush tax cuts of 2001-2003 expire in 2010.
Everybody's tax rates are going up to the Clinton levels in the 90s.
And if you're not paying income taxes, uh, and and about 40% of Americans aren't, how can you get a tax cut?
How can you get an income?
You can't.
You're just gonna get a wealth transfer, you're gonna get an income transfer.
You're not getting a tax cut.
So this is all smoke and mirrors, and it's all now starting to trickle out.
Now, this story on Obama lowering expectations is again a UK story.
The Times Online.
It's by Tim Reed in Washington.
I gotta I gotta tell you something, folks.
The British Papers are coming up with much more relevant news than our news media combined.
Barack Obama's senior advisors have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week.
This is because they're concerned that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve, such as he's going to keep them in their houses and keep their gas tanks full.
You're going to pay for it.
The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of hope and change are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.
We need to be very careful about this.
Folks, Obama lowering his expectations.
We cannot let him get away with this.
There are two reasons, if not more.
Obama has spent what, a year and a half or two years making these promises, raising expectations.
He has been the candidate of the lofty rhetoric.
He has been promising hope and change.
He's been promising to wipe out all problems.
He's going to make the United States loved by everybody in the world.
He has been lying about our country.
He has been lying about his vision.
But more importantly, he will go far in implementing his left wing agenda of massive welfare redistribution and tax increases.
He wants a single payer national health care plan, all of those things.
The point of this is Obama's going to get most of what he wants to implement, but most of it won't work.
This is the key.
He's going to get most of it, and most of it will not work.
All of it so far will not work.
Not in the long term.
So they're putting up stories he got a lower expectation that people wait, they're expecting utopia out there.
This euphoria.
He created it.
Obama created these expectations.
Now he's got to lower them.
Sad thing is his whole campaign of fluff and imagery has succeeded, but Obama has never been about the middle class.
He has always been about destroying American society as it's constituted and punishing success.
What Obama wants to do is destroy capitalism and expand government.
And that is the truth that this illusionary campaign has covered up throughout the past year and a half.
I've got it.
I've got copies of copies of pages of it.
Back in the 1970s.
This book by William Ayers is dedicated in part to Sirhan Sirhan.
Name ring a bell.
Okay, let me ask you who was it that headed up Obama's vice presidential selection committee?
And which prominent member of that same family led the Democrat Party endorsements for Barack Obama.
Do you know?
That's right.
Ted Kennedy endorsed, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg headed up the VP selection committee for Barack Obama.
Obama's good friend William Ayers dedicated his 1974 book to Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Robert Kennedy.
We'll be back after this.
You know, you could argue, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that the unholy alliance between the radical left and militant Islam was launched in this country when Bill Ayers dedicated his book.
The name of the book is Prairie Fire.
It's got a bright red cover.
It's hard to find a copy of this thing.
Uh it's some 1974, I think, but they've gotten it out of the way.
But he dedicates it to Sirhan Sirhan who assassinated Robert Kennedy.
Bill Ayers dedic Obama's friend dedicated his book, Prairie Fire to Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Robert Kennedy.
There's Teddy Kennedy endorsing him.
I wonder if Teddy Kennedy knew this.
There is Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, who was in West Palm Beach this week campaigning, and Al Gore's here now.
Al Gore among our midst across the bridge.
It is but Gore bro brought the cold weather with him.
There's no question about it.
Audio sound bites this morning on our Denver Blowtorch affiliate, KOA.
Governor Bill Richardson.
What Obama wants to do is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those.
Well, all good, uh, Governor Richardson.
They've they've buttoned up Biden, but you've taken his place.
They got Biden on the teleprompter.
Now here's Bill Richards saying if it now it's down to 120,000.
Now to 120,000.
Anything above 120, and you get a tax increase.
Let's go back.
Here's Obama, July 7th.
If Senator McCain wants a debate about taxes in this campaign, then it is a debate I am happy to have.
Because if your family making less than $250,000 a year, my plan will not raise your taxes.
That's July 7th.
It was $250.
Richardson just today on KOA Denver.
120.
Later in the campaign, just recently, very slyly, Obama reduced the number to 200.
If you have a job, pay taxes, and make less than 200,000 a year, you'll get a tax cut.
And then the Chia Pet, Joe Biden TV interview, October 27th this week, lowered it again.
It should go like it used to.
It should go to middle class people.
People making under $150,000 a year.
In Obama's infomercial taped last week.
President, here's what I'll do.
Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year.
So, as president, he'll cut taxes for every working family making less than $200.
So we've gone from $120 to $250 to $200 to $150.
Now we're back to $200.
Here's Obama yesterday.
How many people make less than a quarter million dollars a year?
Raise your hands.
All right, that would appear to be the majority of you.
Now, no matter what, Senator McCain may claim here are the facts.
If you make under $250,000, you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime.
Not your income tax.
Not your payroll tax.
Not your capital gains tax.
No tax.
The last thing we should do is in this economy is raise taxes on the middle class.
Well, you're gonna do it.
You're gonna raise taxes on everybody, Doofus.
When the Bush tax cuts expire, let's go back to Bill Richardson.
This campaign cannot get this straight this morning in Denver via phone on KOA.
What Obama wants to do is is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those.
So you can't you can't keep a lie straight.
This is the problem.
The fact is everybody's gonna get a tax crate increase.
None of these numbers are right.
I got an email.
Now this is fascinating.
It very seldom people ask me how we do what we do here.
They just accept it.
This is broadcast excellence.
And they think this just happens.
Which it does.
I mean, it's taking a lot of years to set up the system.
Rush, how are you so able to go back and get sound bites that you played years ago?
We have an excellent filing system.
And we keep them, we call it it's it's a great archive.
Cookie Preus does this, and it it's it's it's magic.
And you know what else?
We back it up, folks.
We back it up.
If we lost this, we would be up a creek.
We back up the audio file, we back up the transcripts.
If we didn't back this stuff, we I just the other day, just you know, that this is about carbonite.
You should back up your computer too.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I got an email note last night from somebody.
What are you laughing at, Snurdley?
This is all true stuff.
I got I got an email lesson, somebody who went out and got carbonite on my recommendation, just a brand new computer.
The first thing they did was fire it up, load whatever they wanted to do.
It backed it up, and the hard drive blew up a day later.
The hard drive one day after getting a brand new computer.
It happens to somebody every day.
It's gonna happen to you too.
But what it was backed up, and it didn't take long to uh to restore it.
Carbonite has backed up over 11 billion files.
They've got the Mac version coming early next year, uh, and they're getting even more storage.
It's it's a great, great program.
You can try it risk-free at Carbonite.com.
Don't even need to give them a credit card if you use Offer code rush.
Carbonite.com.
I cannot.
Folks, I've got backups of this computer here that you can see in the ditto cam.
I've got six of these babies scattered around my various residences.
Residences that some people don't even know I have.

They have blown up, and and if if a recovery program doesn't work and most of them don't, uh, you're you're you just don't want it to happen to you.
We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
I just got a note from our official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer, University of Alabama at Huntsville.
He said, Why would I use carbonite when it's so dangerous to Superman?
That's kryptonite.
Carbonite will not hurt you, carbonite will save you.
Speaking of Dr. Spencer, a great story today.
Scientists at MIT have recorded a nearly simultaneous worldwide increase in methane levels.
This is the first increase in ten years, and what baffles science is that this data contradicts theories, stating that man's the primary source of increases in greenhouse gas.
