Time Text
And greetings, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
It is Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Open line Friday.
And that means, ladies and gentlemen, that you get to choose the topics that we talk about today.
We got one hour left to go.
We'll get as many of your phone calls in as we can at 800-282-2882.
And the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Do you remember, HR, how long ago it was?
It was recently.
I think it was during this recent campaign that I one day I referred to the Democrats.
They look like morticians.
Or maybe it was Dashel.
Because I said Dash will look like a mortician.
It was Harry Reid.
There was something looked like morticians.
But is anything more accurate today than that?
The entire Democrat Party looks like morticians.
I mean, we're looking we've got the Obama funeral home.
It's called the United States of America.
The Obama funeral home.
Where is Obama?
He's embalming.
Somewhere down in the basement.
These people looked the part, they are acting the part.
They're presiding over the death of the American capitalist system, and they're doing so purposefully, and they seem happy about it.
Now, Obama, you know, he's a cold guy.
I think he's more than cool.
He's a cold guy, but he's very capable of delivering an inspired eulogy.
You know, Obama profits from the from the death of American exceptionalism.
Harry Reid profits from the death of American exceptionalism.
Ram Emanuel set to profit from this crisis.
They personally profit from the acquisition of power from the death of American exceptionalism, like any good mortician.
Yesterday afternoon on Capitol Hill, the incoming Obama chief of staff, Ram Emanuel held a press conference.
I just had a very, very good meeting with the Senate Republican leadership.
This also follows up a series of phone calls I've had with individual members of both the House and Senate Republican leadership.
I did this at the direction of President Elect Obama.
The challenges facing the country require that people of both parties work together to solve those problems.
And so I was there very early.
Uh you know, this is obviously the last week of the 110th Congress, but I told them I would like and welcome their ideas, we would like and welcome their ideas on a host of fronts, be that in the area of education, health care, taxes, energy policy, national security, to provide, you know, give us those ideas as we are formulating what we're gonna do uh in the Obama administration.
He can't fool me.
This is what a crock this is.
If he's talking to any conservative Republicans, I guarantee you the ideas they offer on education, health care, taxes, energy, national security will be immediately tossed out.
If there are some moderate McCain-like Republicans that he's talking to, then the ideas they have will not differ much from the ideas of Obama, so they'll be able to say that they're working bipartisan on this.
But this is this is just a crock.
He's already up there twisting arms, is what he's doing.
He gets to control the meeting, he comes out, does the press conference.
Oh, yeah.
We had a great meeting up there.
Yeah, I totally republicans, whatever you are.
We want your ideas.
Uh give your ideas and we'll work them into what our plans.
We know what your plans are, Rom.
You want to nationalize health care, you want to raise taxes.
You want to spend even more on education while dumbing down the results.
You want to go total green environmentalist wacko on energy.
On national security, who the hell knows what you want to close Gitmo?
Uh, you want to get out of Iraq.
Uh, here's another portion of what he had to say.
Since I was uh named, I also have been reaching out and I've had about 20 plus phone calls with members of the Republican uh conference, and this is all an attempt because as uh President Elect Obama has repeatedly said, the challenges for the country Are large.
The problems we face are of a serious magnitude, that there is enough area and enough goodwill for ideas from both parties to solve those challenges.
So with that, and I don't want to be disrespectful to uh my uh former Republican colleagues who are waiting for a meeting.
I'm gonna go have a meeting with them.
Right.
So um yeah, I I think again, if he whatever conservative Republican ideas uh he's gonna hear will be ignored immediately.
So these are the morticians.
Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and they're presiding over gleefully so the death of capitalism.
I mean, we've got the death of free market health care that they're getting ready for, socialized methods.
We've got the death of borders, it's called amnesty.
We have the death of science and reason called global warming and cap and trade.
We have the death of the stock market.
We have potentially the death of IRAs.
We have the death of the American dream.
If Obama's tax increases kick in for people anywhere, what is the numbers gone from 120 to 250, but whatever the number is, that's when the American dream ends, because that's when your tax increases kick in, and income taxes are the number one weapon government uses to prevent the amassing of wealth.
We already know we've got the death of journalism, but what do they care?
They just saw their guy win by dumbing down 52% of the population.
You know, everybody's talking about we had the death of journalism and that they've lost all credibility.
What do they care?
They don't think they lost any credibility.
They won, they got the guy elected.
Their audience is each other anyway.
But in the in a in a pure sense, yeah, we've seen the death of journalism.
We've seen the death of peace through strength.
Uh Obama promising to disarm our nuclear arsenal and get on the phone with people and get them like Putin, and the rest of these guys did the same thing.
Uh we've also seen the death of the Democrat Party of JFK.
So they are, I mean, there are a bunch of morticians out there, folks.
They're acting like it.
They're presiding over this country uh as though they are morticians.
And we just did a quick search.
It was um February 3rd, 2005, where I first used the term mortician to describe the Democrat Party.
Uh and it was uh State of the Union speech last night, big focus on domestic issues, uh and the Democrat reaction to us a Bush State of the Union, Democrat reaction to it as well.
These guys look like a bunch of morticians.
They send somebody out there to talk about it.
Unemployment, this Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs projection, unemployment will reach 9%, currently six and a half.
By the end of next year, the economy will shrink in each quarter until mid-2009, said the wizards of smart at Goldman Sachs today.
Their forecasts are lower than previous predictions due to continuing signs of uh falling domestic and foreign demand, labor market deterioration, renewed tightening in financial conditions, and an apparent impasse in fiscal policy pending the transfer of power to the Obama administration in late January.
Now, at what point does Washington wake up?
Now I know look, facetious here, it's a rhetorical question.
I'm I'm asking it to make a point.
At what point does Washington wake up and stoping everybody to the hilt?
Leave the private sector alone, leave the American people alone.
The people who make this country work can rebuild this economy.
In fact, they know it, by the way, because all these promises of further stimulus packages, what are those?
The purpose of those stimulus packages to put money in everybody's pocket so they can start spending.
They can consume an out there.
Want people to start considering consumer led recovery.
Okay, fine and dandy, get out of the way.
And let consumers and let the private sector and let the people who make this country work start the recovery Process.
All this central planning will guarantee that we'll be pursuing misery instead of happiness.
There is not a single answer to job creation.
There are millions of answers.
Jobs come from millions of businesses and individuals risking their money, if they have any, on business ideas that they have confidence in.
And they've got confidence because they know that what they can do, given their unique talents and situations, will work if the environment's right for it.
They just need to keep more of their money and have fewer government restrictions.
What Washington has to do is get rid of job killing regulations, reduce taxes so Americans can solve this.
The American people can will solve this if given the opportunity to.
It isn't going to be bureaucrats and politicians in Washington.
Obama's not going to solve anything.
No one person can.
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, they are killing the U.S. economy.
Bailing this out, bailing that out, government owning a part of this business, a part of that sector.
If millions of Americans are set free from all of this, then millions of Americans will create jobs through innovation, risk-taking, and just the natural order of things.
Might not be a new way forward, but we should remember one of Reagan's timeless truths.
Government's not the solution.
Government is the problem.
See, this economic crisis was not caused by you or me or anybody else in the private sector.
We're sitting here minding our own business, and these people throughout the bureaucracy, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the pressure brought to bear on banks and lending institutions on Wall Street and so forth.
The public sector created this problem, and it's so damn frustrating to have people think that the very people create a problem are the only ones who can solve it.
This problem can only be solved by people in the private sector that's known as the market.
The problem we face is that the people that cause the problem don't want to get out of the way.
It's the source of their power.
And they, as Rahm Emanuel said, grab soundbite number five.
Can't play this enough.
Soundbite number five, you just this crisis is just too great to let it go to waste.
You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
And what I mean by that, it's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.
Stop.
This is an opportunity an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do.
He's not talking about you.
This crisis doesn't afford you any opportunity.
He's talking about agenda items of the Democrat Party.
This crisis gives the Democrat Party an opportunity to do things they've always wanted to do, but haven't been able to do because it was too big a leap.
But now with the crisis, it's easier to get health care nationalized.
It's easier to raise taxes on whoever they want to raise taxes on.
It's easier to get all these regulations.
He's talking about him.
So you listen to this, cue it to the top, please.
He's talking about himself, his party, the Democrat Party, and their agenda.
He's not talking about you.
You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
And what I mean by that, it's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.
This is an opportunity what used to be long-term problems, be they in the health care area, energy area, education area, fiscal area, tax area, regulatory reform area, things that we had postponed for too long that were long-term are now immediate and must be dealt with.
And this crisis provides the opportunity for us, as I would say, the opportunity to do things that you could not do before.
It's Open Line Friday.
We go back to the phones now.
People have been, as always, patiently waiting.
Here is Carol in Parma, Ohio.
Nice to have you on the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm a first-time caller.
And I think you're wonderful.
I had a question on the bailout yesterday.
I wondered what you thought.
Would it do you think it's going to affect retiree benefits, pension, you know, uh insurance and any anything?
Uh you mean the auto business, the auto auto workers?
Uh well, even if, in whatever plan that comes down to Pike, even if from your standpoint, the worst case scenarios, I understand it.
If the auto Companies are able to offload some of the pensions.
The federal government has an agency that buys them up to a maximum of $50,000 a year.
Now, I don't know what your husband or your pension pays you, but if it's more than $50,000 a year, and if you were half if you happen to lose it, the government will buy it.
Government fixes everything, don't you see?
And then they'll make it good up to a $50,000 a year payoff.
I I I think that's that's fairly close to being accurate.
So I don't have any idea what's going to happen.
It's too, it's it's well, I do.
I do I do know that there's going to be a bailout of some kind.
It'll happen after Obama is inaugurated.
The Obama transition team has actually come up with this pre-packaged bankruptcy plan that the government would fund and despair them going through all the hassles of courts and so forth.
One way or the other, the auto companies are they're going to get a bailout of some kind, they're going to get restrictions of how they um must operate because there are too many people think the way they're operating now is going to result in their death.
So, in order for them to get the money, which they're going to get, because the Democrats want the unions to not suffer.
They want the unions to get the bail out.
Jennifer Grandholm in the state of Michigan.
It'll be called an auto automaker bill out, but it's bailout, but it's actually being done for other purposes.
And I think the pensions are end up going to being protected in this in this circumstance.
I mean, that will be the whole point of the uh of the Democrat bailout.
Speaking of all this, though, it's an interesting story.
You may have you may have heard this already that Walmart is showing a profit.
The Walmart's anticipating a huge holiday season where very few other retailers are.
And of course, I just saw on cable news, I saw another this stuff is in a formula.
Uh Christmas shoppers will delay even further this year, waiting for deals and bargains on holiday gifts.
Really?
That's news, they do it every year.
Everybody's looking for the best deal they can.
There's hardly anybody goes out and says, What's the price?
Okay, great, double it.
What is this?
It's a every year some turkey's being mistreated somewhere in the week before Thanksgiving.
McDonald's profits are up.
Walmart stores, the world's largest retailer, unexpectedly today, announced that its chief executive will retire in February and be replaced by the head of its international division.
The Bentonville, Arkansas based retailer, said that Mike Duke, 58, will take the reins from Lee Scott, effective February 1st.
Duke also becomes a member of the board of directors immediately.
The international business is the company's fastest growing division.
Profit rose 11% during this quarter, while U.S. profit rose 7%.
Walmart international profit up 11%, domestic 7%.
You know, you read this story and it makes you think we're being told the economy's diving.
It's in a spiral.
The Democrats are morticians.
Walmart is soaring.
Now, how can this be?
What do you think?
And by the way, Walmart is on the big enemies list of the Democrat Party.
Why do you think it might be that Walmart is showing a 7% retail?
This is retail, folks.
I know some of its food necessity, but a lot of it's retail.
How in the world is Walmart doing this amidst all this horrible, horrible economic news?
Why do they remain at the top of the Democrat Party enemies list?
Why do they gotta get Walmart?
Why do they not like Walmart, even though Walmart's showing the way to prosperity?
Well, the questions kind of answer themselves.
If you got a private sector firm that can profit while everything the government touches is going to hell on a handbasket, even though we have a shortage of handbaskets.
You can understand why government would resent them.
But I think one of the biggest reasons for this is that they have driven back all attempts to unionize.
So this Christmas, when you have less money, disposable money, gas is half what it was five months Ago.
Walmart's offering good deals.
And they're showing a profit offering you discount prices.
How can this be?
Ha.
Welcome back.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, half my brain.
Tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Now, I was under the impression, because I listened to um I listened to Senator Obama during the campaign.
He's only going to raise taxes on the uh on the rich.
Uh, because they've got it.
They don't need it.
They have more than they need.
They can afford it, right?
And and so he needs to raise taxes on the rich and cut taxes on the quote unquote middle classes.
So he wants he wants economic recovery to uh uh uh bubble up from the bottom or whatever, which is very tough to do when when you're at the bottom and you're broke.
Now, I I don't know how you bubble anything up when you're broke, but that's not the point.
I have a story here from A.P. Obama, and it's about three Colorado ski resorts being forced to lay off workers.
It's from the Durango Herald.
We read the Durango Herald every day here.
It's part of our show pro rotation.
The ski season.
The ski.
The ski season.
Oh, yeah, they'll put in the banner on a read by they might it might embarrass them so much they go out of business.
The ski season shaping up to be the worst in years, said a Canadian ski resort company that has announced that it's laid off workers across a dozen resorts, including three in Colorado.
Vancouver-based intrawest corporation hasn't said exactly how many workers it let go, but company officials say that the weak economy is squeezing the ski business.
Now, who is it that goes out to Colorado and skis?
No, it's not the poor.
The poor are working in the hotels, the poor are working in the rest of the quote-unquote poor, the poor are working at the ski resorts, where peep the rich are not going because the economy is cutting into their disposable income and they think that they're got tax increases coming.
Colorado's steamboat ski and resort, for example, more than three hours by car from Denver, because of that, most visitors fly in.
They stay several days, while smaller resorts closer to big cities have an easier time, surviving a poor economy.
They're not as dependent on out of state and international visitors of Dave Boleyn or Bellin, director at Boulder-based research firm RRC Associates, in a quote to the Rocky Mountain News.
Now, in a survey of skiers conducted online last month, RRC associates found that most skiers they plan to ski as often as last year, but they're going to cut back in other ways.
Lodging, lessons, and other extras, such as traveling a long way to get to a ski mountain.
Now, uh see, I I thought tax increases and other trivial income killers amounted to chump change to wealthy Americans.
But this is what I told you, and this is what I was this is the main reason I said we got to support Senator McCain, in fact, because his tax policy was right.
Every time you hear Obama or some Democrat talking about raising taxes on the rich to help the little guy, it's the little guy that gets shafted, and this ski resort story is a classic example.
So we have to take the wealthy down a notch or two.
How could that hurt anybody?
Why that couldn't hurt anybody.
We got to take the wealthy down a notch or two.
They give up a little jump change.
Obama can spend it on welfare checks for those who don't pay income taxes, and life is good for everybody.
Except raising taxes is not chump change to rich people.
That was just Obama sh Obama shooting his mouth off.
It turns out when the wealthy are pummeled by bad economic news of any kind, they pull back two.
Nothing is chump change, and so now they're gonna visit ski resorts less.
And when they, the people that pay the freight by going skiing, Go less or don't stay overnight in hotels and so forth.
The ski resorts, three of them owned by a Canadian firm are laying off the little guy.
The guy who's supposed to benefit from tax increases on the rich.
Here's David in Scottsdale.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Rush, long-time listener since the 80s.
Thank you, sir.
I'd like to give you my thoughts on why so many Clinton people in there.
I think the Clintons were experts at co-opting what was happening in the private sector during the 90s.
They co-opted the internet revolution, the uh computer chip, the processing, and the way we did business, and took it as their own.
So now what Obama's doing, he wants that same type of thing with energy, which is the next big thing on the horizon.
But wait just a second.
David, hang on, I need you to help me understand something.
How were the Clintons expert at co-opting the private sector?
They co-opted the internet revolution.
What do you mean by that?
They co-opted the computer chip processing the way we did.
How did the Clintons co-opt that?
What do you mean by that?
During during the campaign, they always referred back to look what was happening in the 90s, how good the economy was.
They they're claiming that they were in the driver's seat.
They were just in the car.
The private sector was driving the economy.
Oh, oh, oh, okay.
You're saying it was a myth that they did all this stuff, but people think they did.
So Obama wants people to think that he's doing the same thing with the economy.
Correct.
I got you.
Okay.
Now, as far as energy goes, energy is the next big thing out on the horizon.
But I think it's not where it's supposed to be because it's been overhyped.
So now we have to pull back on all these crazy ideas because some of them are way out there 10, 15 years from now.
He needs to be in office when they happen.
It's not happening in the next couple of years.
Right.
So but there's got to be more than that to explain why he's populating his administration almost thoroughly with Clinton East.
Second-term Clintonistas, by the way, too.
Not for Janet Reno's nowhere around, for example.
And Roger Altman's nowhere around.
These are second-term Clinton people that he is populating his administration with.
And there are a lot of people, where's the change here?
What change?
Where are the fresh new faces?
It uh it is puzzling.
By the way, you know how stupid we are all are.
You know, we I mean, I've been beating myself off over this since last night.
I don't know what made me just remember it.
Well, this is goes to show you how easily we all get caught up in media hype.
This Hillary at Secretary of State Business.
Everybody's sitting around saying, why?
What's the big deal?
Having fun watching who's leaking to who, who's trying to cause problems, what's this all about?
Why would Hillary even take it?
And the most obvious answer, it probably occurred to a lot of you.
It didn't to me.
I got I got caught up in the wait a second.
How in the world does she run for president in 2006 because you know she wants to?
You know she wants to be president.
You know that they want to get back in the White House.
So I'm asking myself, well, how in the world do they do that when she's Secretary of State?
She'd have to start running in 210, 21.
There aren't going to be too many people opposing him unless he just, I mean, this turns out to be a disaster.
And it could well be that.
Don't tell a whole lot of people just keep it between us.
This it could be bad.
But they can't count on that happening.
Why would she put herself at Secretary of State where it would look very, very bad to leave that office and run against a guy that appointed you to that important job and so forth?
Just make it makes me think I ought to give back an hour's pay, which believe me, folks, is substantial, for overlooking and missing this.
What better way to undermine this poor little guy than within the State Department?
Look how they undermined Bush.
Look at how Powell and Armitage with Libby, look at how the leaking of all the battle plans, look at how they and and and the State Department people are very tight with people in the media.
Of course, the media is very tight with Obama in a in a symbiotic way, they just can't let him fail.
He's just too historically important.
But the whole notion of what better way to undermine the guy than being in his cabinet totally slipped my mind.
This is how easy it is, folks, to forget just who the Clintons really are.
I'm sorry about this.
I really am.
The Democrat Party assuring a better today tomorrow.
800-282-2882.
See this Obama has time to send a signal to the military engaged.
He didn't have time to deal with the economy right now.
He's got a little time to help with the automakers and their bankruptcy.
But I guess this is more important than sending a signal to Wall Street, Obama to delay repeal of don't ask, don't tell.
This will not sit well in certain sectors of our society.
He was going to get rid of this lickity squit.
This had to go.
Don't ask, don't tell in the military had to go.
Yeah, it's going to have to delay that.
See, he can send a signal to the homosexual crowd.
He can send a signal to military, but for some reason he just will not send a signal to Wall Street about what his plans are.
Doesn't want the stability.
Adam in Fairbolt, Minnesota.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Just fine, sir.
Say, Mega Christian Conservative Ditto's to you from Tribal, Minnesota, home of the Tilter World.
Well, I appreciate that.
Um my wife and I were recently blessed with the good news that we're going to be having a baby in May, and we're going through baby names.
And before I bring the name to her, I'd like to put a little bit of uh tools in my toolkit and the name of Rush.
How did it come about?
What does it mean?
Well, um are you are you considering naming this is a human baby you're considering naming after me?
It is a human baby.
I was gonna say if it's a dog, please don't, because eventually you're gonna have to take the dog.
Hey, Doc, I got rushed here, and he needs to be neutered.
No, it's human being.
If it's a human baby, that the or the the simple explanation is I am Rush Hudson Limbaugh III, and my grandfather was given the first name Rush because it's the last name of another strain, another branch of his family, uh whose uh a woman whose name was I think one of their aunts or great aunts named uh Edna Rush or something, and then they wanted to keep that family name alive since she was the last woman in that lane in that line.
Uh and so that's that's the rush is is actually the last name of some distant, long-forgotten family member.
Gotcha.
It has nothing to do with being in a hurry.
It has uh nothing at all like that.
And what was it like growing up with a name like Rush on the playground?
Well, since I was the third, I was not called Rush.
But I'm interesting, I was called Rusty.
Okay.
My um dad wanted to call me Butch, my mother didn't go for that.
And mothers always win those battles.
Sure.
So I was uh I was all called in fact a lot of my family still slip and still call me that when we uh when we got together.
But I t it uh now honest, honest to God now, uh my first radio job away from home.
I went to Pittsburgh and I worked for a station that was owned by ABC, and they would not let me use that name because they thought that listeners would think that I had a lisp, that my name was Russ, and that I couldn't say it, that I said Rush, and that they would misspell it and so forth.
So maybe go to the phone book and find a name that I liked, or pick a name that I liked and go to the phone book and make sure it wasn't there.
So that person didn't get bugged if so it wasn't the the short version of the story is it wasn't until I started using my real name that my success track began to actually happen.
So I um I I think depending on what you the middle name of this human baby that you're going to have and the middle name is, but I I don't think you'd have any problem whatsoever with a kid named Rush.
Not the only there's there's some rushes, just don't, you know, you don't name him Rush Button because he could become a butler.
But I mean, you know, Ethel Kennedy's father.
Uh uh Ethel can married to Robert Gandhi.
His name was Rushton, first name was Rushton, R-U-S-H-T-O-N.
So there's any number of variations, but uh I just very sophisticated aristocratic name, and and it's unique.
Uh and I I I in fact, I am I'm telling you what I am so honored you're even thinking of it and I don't want to have any role in influencing you here.
I just answered your questions, right?
That's right.
I'm going to send you a special collectionist.
Do you do you and your wife eat beef?
Oh, we do eat beef.
Have you ever ordered anything from Allen Brothers?
I have not.
Oh.
Well, I'm gonna see for I may not be able to get it there before Thanksgiving, but I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna send you an assortment of stuff from Allen Brothers.
Uh as uh because you know, it's holiday time.
I'm starting to feel like I'm always a generous giving guy, but this is this this stuff is just it's it's it's you can't get it other than at Allen Brothers, and it's that unique, it's that special, and I know people are having a lot of people having challenging economic times.
I I believe in times like treat yourself.
And this this is one way to do it.
So if you'll allow me to get your address, it has to be a FedExert or yeah, it has to be a Fed or UPS, an overnight shipping address.
After we finish here, so don't hang up.
Okay.
We'll put you on hold.
That sounds great.
Rush, you're a blessing to me, and you're a uh blessing to the listening community.
So thank you.
Thanks very much.
And uh congratulations and and on your new baby.
And I'll let you know how things turn out tonight at the dinner table.
I hope so.
Uh moving on.
Now don't hang up.
Whatever you do out there, Adam.
Terry in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush.
I'm so happy and nervous to talk to you.
Don't be nervous, don't be nervous.
Um I have a question for you.
I know you're not a spiritual advisor, but perhaps you could help me out.
When I found out that the uh majority of Catholics voted for Obama, I've had trouble as a Catholic attending church without um without some animosity toward my my fellow parishioners.
And I was wondering if you had any advice as to you know.
Yeah, I do.
Okay.
I'm not a uh spiritual advisor, nor am I a spiritual counselor, but you can't control what they do anyway.
