Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Say, folks, you remember when uh the Pope came to America last summer?
That's what the TV coverage all weekend of Obama's pre-inaugural immaculate uh immaculation look like.
It looked like the Wellstone Memorial on steroids out there.
You watch any of it, Wendy?
Really?
And then this morning there's President select Obama the day before his immaculation, painting a wall inside a homeless shelter, they're kicking the homeless out.
They're moving the homeless to the outer sectors of the nation's capital.
I guess they'll have clean walls when they move them back in there.
And I was like, what is this?
To inspire national service, why not have the kids?
Why not have the homeless kids paint the walls?
How many walls actually got painted with Obama and his paintbrush in there and his paint roller and all the media?
Anyway, greetings, my friends.
Great to have you here.
That's Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone at the prestigious and distinguished Limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here's the phone number if you want to be on the program.
800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a dilemma today, and I would like to explain it to you.
This is a national holiday.
This is Martin Luther King Day.
And I think that it uh it's fair to say that uh in our current political climate, those Americans working today probably don't have the time or the inclination to celebrate Martin Luther King Day with the same reverence and the same amount of time devoted to it as those paying tribute by not working.
It's a national holiday for Martin Luther King.
And a lot of people are not working this a national holiday.
It's the day before the immaculation.
Now I find my I could be in a real mess here today.
I've got audio sound bites from the weekend in which the drive-bys are already angry at me for calling myself the last man standing.
The BBC has has singled me out as the lone obstacle to national health care and how I could stop it.
I mean, there was on Friday, there was uh there was a drive-by media orgy over how I'm just not getting with the program here.
And it's it's it's not good.
I I need to get with the program.
Now this is uh, you know, I mean, I there's there's if if I, for example, I mean here's my thinking.
If I were to engage in the standard rip roaring, no holds barred Pittsburgh Steelers kind of show today, there is no question that I would be the result, I'd be the target of scorn by elitists, superior observers who are not working on Martin Luther King Day, uh, and of course, uh elements of the drive-by media.
So well, it makes it different any other day, and then because if you notice, I mean, this is a continuation of what happened over the weekend.
This is a day of religious like reverence.
Uh and uh this would be like somebody going to church, and when the preacher stands up to give the sermon and say, no, no, no, no, no, I want to talk football today.
Uh that that I mean this this is it's it's it's it's a real dilemma here for me, uh, your host.
So I'm thinking, since those who are not working are those those people who are who are paying more attention and giving more reverence to the Martin Luther King Day, and obviously the Immaculation Tomorrow, maybe I should do my show today by not talking politics and not talking news so as not to incur the wrath and the scorn of the elite.
Perhaps I should devote much of the program today to reviewing the NFL playoff games.
I was in Pittsburgh yesterday.
Uh and maybe taking calls on the upcoming Super Bowl.
Take the day off in a in essence.
Uh take the day off to show that I'm I got my mind right here that I'm down with the struggle.
Take the day off but still be here.
I mean, take the day off, but don't take the day off.
Many rank amateurs have uh suggested to me this uh folks, I could be stepping into a real mess today because the nation, it appears, by watching television over the weekend, the nation's been swept up In the certain miracle of the Obama presidency.
And this might be a somewhat sensitive, particularly sensitive holiday to simply go about business as usual.
A real tribute, in other words, to Martin Luther King will be just to shut down the shop.
Just to go home and watch a tape of the Eagles and the Cardinals, which I missed yesterday.
I got spurts of it.
Didn't see the whole game, didn't see the nuances.
So maybe talking football is the next best thing.
Well, well, not work well.
Look at this is what Martin Luther King want us to do today.
Would he want us not working?
And uh being in reverence.
Anyway, wait, so I've thought about this in the hell with it.
I'm gonna do the normal thing here.
Uh uh I know a lot of people will show scorn and a lot of people will show concern, but it's certainly just pointed out what's new about the drive-by media and the liberal left in this country showing scorn for me.
I had uh you know, I had to laugh.
Uh all through the weekend uh during the by the way, you know HBO screwed up.
HBO, they had they have the exclusive rights to, it's just so much out there.
I mean, we're supposed to be reverent, we're supposed to bound up, we're supposed to shut up, we're supposed to bend over backwards.
We're supposed to avoid criticizing Obama at all, even while Bush is leaving, and they can't stop stomping on him, dumping on him, ripping him to shreds as Bruce Springsteen did yesterday.
We're not supposed to be critical of Obama, but they are that there are stories today about how the left is angry that Bush is not going to be arrested tomorrow for war crimes.
And uh and at Pelosi has signaled that she's all for that, by the way.
But we're supposed to sit here and be all reverential and basically shut up about the Mathias.
I think HBO screwed up yesterday because they they showed an aerial shot of the mall where the concerts and all that were people and look.
I've got so many thoughts firing on all cylinders inside my cranium here, folks.
Obama telling us that he's Lincoln.
You know, it's it's a great thing for presidents to invoke great presidents from the past.
He's out there trying to be Lincoln.
It's this this is screwball.
This is the Wellstone Memorial on steroids.
This is this, I don't know how many Americans ever put up with this.
I think probably, folks, we must we're gonna have to uh adjust to the fact that a lot of people are caught up in this.
But, but, but but uh having said that, the aerial shot, HBO blew it.
They had a blimp, something up there, and they did an aerial shot of the crowd, and the mall was only half full.
It was not teeming with people.
It was they had all of and the same thing with the train ride from Philadelphia down to Washington.
They did tight shots to give the impression of gazillions of people lining, but it wasn't the case.
Oh, come on, Rush, can't you get in the spirit of things?
Folks, I'm in the spirit.
I'm in the spirit.
I'm looking forward to Super Bowl.
My team's in it.
The only disappointment I have is that the Eagles caved again.
One for five in NFC championship games, and the defense blew it.
You know, the defense got the most, I've always thought the defense should get most of the credit for that team, and yesterday Blue couldn't get the Cardinals off field.
Kept running the ball right down their throats.
Even my man Donovan McNabb whined about this in the postgame.
Wined about his defense not being able to get the Cardinals off the field to get him out there for one or two more chances.
The um I don't know.
I'm into it.
I I just I heard Obama say that we must ramp up responsibility.
We must all be responsible.
I have folks, I'm sorry.
I have to laugh.
Those of us who have been responsible are about to have our pockets picked in order to compensate and pay for those that have been irresponsible.
The irresponsible largely are those who elected Obama, and they elected Obama because they expect to be able to continue to be irresponsible.
In other words, have people do things for them.
We must all stand up and be responsible.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Guy, well, Treasury Secretary's one thing.
His uh He's got some environmental czar that uh is a genuine extreme.
I'm gonna get into all this as the program unfolds because I have thrown away the concept I shouldn't work today.
Uh we are going to do the the uh normal program.
By the way, in the Cindy Adams New York Post, Cindy Adams sent me a little note on Friday.
She writes a gossip call of the New York Post, and she said, What are you doing for the inauguration?
And I said, I'm not doing anything, I'm just gonna I'm gonna pretend I'm there.
She says, How are you gonna do that?
I said, Well, I'm gonna put a porta potty here in the studio, I'm gonna use it every few minutes.
And I didn't hear back from her.
Today she uses the quote in her column.
Wait till the drive by is see that.
The scorn that will be unfolded on me, targeted at me, will continue.
But then there's this.
I called this.
I called this from an AP story to Conrad Harrell of Porta potty supplier Don's John's.
Tuesday's inauguration of Barack Obama will be historic, but not in the way you might think.
Quote, this is the largest temporary restroom event in the history of the United States.
And I was in Washington a week ago last Tuesday, and I and I drove around the Capitol, I was a little early to the White House.
I drove around the Capitol to I mean, it's porta potties everywhere in front of the Washington Monument around the Washington Mount on the parade route, in front of the Capitol, behind the Capitol, hell, I may as well put a couple of them on the Capitol for what's going to be going on in there.
The largest temporary restroom event in the history of the United States.
Started on Sunday.
This is not about the presidency, folks.
I'm sorry.
This event is not about the presidency, not somebody taking the presidency.
This is some deep collective validation going on here.
There is a there is a that's something totally different than this than somebody being inaugurated and taking the presidency.
All right, brief time out, we'll come back, we'll get started with uh all the rest of the program today.
You're gonna love it all.
I got more than I can possibly squeeze in here, so listen fast.
As I mentioned, ladies and gentlemen, the Messiah, Lord Barack Obama, the most merciful, painting a wall today at a homeless shelter in the outer sectors of the nation's capital while painting the wall.
He took time out to talk to the assembled multitudes.
Given the crisis that we're in and the hardships that so many people are going through, we can't allow any idle hands.
Everybody's got to be involved.
Everybody's gonna have to everybody's gonna have to pitch in.
And I think American people are ready to do that.
We've got 5,000 volunteer organizations and service projects across the country today.
Uh the internet is an amazing tool for us to be able to organize people together.
We saw that in our campaign.
But we don't want to just use it for winning elections.
We want to use it to rebuild America.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
This is, folks, it's just so bogus.
Everybody's gonna have to pitch in.
He's talking to Roy.
If everybody's gonna pitch in, the homeless kids paint their own walls.
What's wrong with that?
You know, we want our kids to suffer so little these days that we have to do everything for them out there.
Everybody's gonna have to pitch in.
The American people are ready to do that.
The people that have been pitching in are today's targets.
The people have been pitching in, the people that make this country work are now the targets of the incoming Obama administration, and those who have not displayed any kind of uh uh pitching in or uh sharing and the responsibility are to be the recipients of this.
Obama then continued.
If everybody did their job, whatever that job was, as well as that pilot did his job.
So you're doing your job well, finishing your job, yeah.
Cooperating as a team, all that stuff's important.
I think I got this wall covered.
Hey, he's talking about painting there.
You think you have the wall cover.
Now, here's the thing.
Here's the well, no, it's not here's this interesting point about this.
Theoretically and philosophically, Obama's right on the money.
If everybody did their job, whatever it was, as well as the pilot did.
Well, forget the pilot for a moment.
Doing your job well, finishing your job, cooperate, all that stuff.
That's exactly right.
Finish what you start.
If everybody did their job well.
Well, but we're back to this whole notion of responsibility.
He's saying it to the wrong people.
When he says if everybody did their job well, he's aiming this at the effluent.
He's aiming it at the achievers.
By definition, they are doing their job well.
But he's not calling on those who aren't doing their job well to do it well.
What he's going to do is placate them.
He's going to turn them into war to the state.
He is going to see to it that they forever look to him to come paint their wall.
Euphemistically, symbolically.
Make no mistake about this.
And by the way, responsibility.
We must all exhibit responsibility.
Ladies and gentlemen, the country is in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, supposedly.
I don't necessarily, I don't believe that yet.
I don't think that's the case.
It may get there, but it isn't now.
We haven't approached the malaise of the Jimmy Carter 70s yet.
However, let's just go with the premise here of the drive-by media that this is the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
That's not stopping rich donors and the government from spending 170 million dollars or more on the immaculation.
The actual swearing in ceremony will cost one and a quarter million dollars, according to Carol Floorman, spokeswoman for the Joint Congressional Committee on Immaculation Ceremonies.
It's the security.
It's the parties, it's the countless porta potty rentals that really run up the bill.
I mean, folks, this is indeed the largest temporary bathroom event in the history of the United States.
The federal government estimates going to spend roughly 49 million dollars on immaculation weekend.
Washington, Virginia, and Maryland have requested another 75 million from the feds to help pay for their share of police, fire, and medical uh services.
And there's the party bill.
We have a budget of roughly 45 million, maybe a little more, said Linda Douglas, former drive-by media et and spokesbabe for the inaugural committee.
170 million.
Is that responsible?
170 million, the most expensive immaculation in the history of the country in the midst of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Now the Obama apologists are saying, well, this is necessary to raise people's spirits to lift their hearts.
Wait a second.
I thought that had already been done with the election of the Messiah.
The Bush inauguration in 2004 cost less than half this.
Maybe, maybe one third of what this cost.
And back then the drive-bys were running stories.
There she is.
There she is.
Look, snertily, look.
What did I just say to look at PMSNBC?
What did I just say during the break?
God do I know these people.
Sometimes it's scary.
I had speaking of the parties here.
I had I had read during show prep today that Barack and Michelle Obama have told her social secretaries, don't book them at home at night.
They're not going to be sitting at home most of the time helping the kids with the homework.
They are out there socializing.
They're going to be partying.
They come from a new generation.
They're going to be booked.
They're going to be out dancing.
They're going to be rockin' rolling.
They're going to be jazzing.
They're going to be deeply poetry and all that.
And I said, you know what?
This is I doubt Sally Quinn's had an orgasm in the last eight years, but she probably had ten of them since she read that Obama's going to start throwing parties because she's the social doyen.
Her dinner parties back during the glory days of the can't, well, not the Kennedys, and certainly the Clintons and so forth, uh, even in part during the Reagan administration, uh, were legendary, and people would do anything to get an invitation to them.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, um.
I uh people are caught up in this, and as I said at the top of the program, I'm I'm I'm about to make a mess.
I'm about to step in a big mess here by not following as Newt Gingrich did, the template.
You would have thought Newt Gingrich was John McCain on steroids today, listening to him praise Barack Obama.
But I think what's going on here is really, really dangerous.
Just between us, folks.
Don't tell anybody about this.
We'll just keep it between us.
And I I think I think it's very dangerous.
What the Obama people are doing.
Look at me now.
Listen to this.
The Obama people are orchestrating as much doom and gloom as possible.
It is all about creating Obama as the great savior.
This is all purposeful.
This is being done on purpose.
The comparisons to great American leaders, the constant claim of uh of starting a new.
And of course, all you have to do is look at this ABC story on the inauguration.
The worst economic downturns is the Great Depression, Axelrod saying, hey, it's gonna take years, not months to get this fixed.
It's gonna get worse, Obama says.
I we we don't know how bad it's gonna get it's gonna get really bad out there.
It's gonna get so bad I may run out of paint necessary to paint all the homeless shelters.
I mean, it may take till his first term is over to turn this around.
Now, this is all done to just orchestrate as much doom and gloom as possible.
Obama is like any other politician.
He's a politician.
And what's happening here is politics disguised as the Pope's arrival.
It's disguised as something reverential here.
One man cannot save anything as large as our country.
We don't need saving anyway.
This is the thing that really we don't need saving.
But one man can do enormous damage.
We're back, El Rushbow, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, maha rushy.
America's real.
Ankerman more than ever.
800-282-2882.
If the uh if your phone is ringing and sturdily's not answering it, there's a reason why.
And if he doesn't start answering them soon, I'm gonna tell you publicly why is it involves a woman in there.
And I just issued an executive command during the commercial break to shape up in there because I can see all of this.
To the audio soundbites, last man standing.
I'm sorry.
clothes are on.
Folks, cool it.
Keep your minds above the waist.
That's what's happening here.
Last man standing, I.L. Rushbow.
Sunday morning, C-SPAN's Washington Journal.
The host Steve Scully interviewed Mike Allen of the Politico.
Steve Scully said to Mike Allen of the political, what is the role of people like Rush Limbaugh in the next four years?
We thought that they were gonna have uh fantastic success.
Rush Limbaugh built his amazing success as the most listened to person in America during the Clinton years.
And typically it's been better for these more partisan groups to be on the outside.
But they have a needle to thread in that they're very much, at least in public opinion polls, a minority view at the moment.
Their trick is to find a way to keep their audience to be entertaining and engaging and yet not be out of step with the vast majority of Americans who are rooting for this president.
Uh the question is whether they will be able to thread the needle of standing up for their principles, of holding this White House to account, which both the press and the commentary uh needs to do, and remain in step with a country that wants changes, that wants to give Barack Obama a chance.
You know, he's a nice guy, but he just doesn't understand the nature of my success, how it happened, when he doesn't understand when it happened, it didn't happen under Clinton, it happened before that.
But he certainly doesn't understand his own role.
Near the end of the soundbite here.
He says, speaking of people like me, ladies and gentlemen, the question is whether they will be able to thread the needle of standing up for their principles of holding this White House to account, which both press and the commentary needs to do, and remain in step with a country that wants changes.
Mr. Allen, your side has has uh not exhibited one bit of energy aimed at holding the White House to account.
Quite the contrary.
I've seen a couple of drive by journalists actually lament on the air that they might have to they might be pressured into being critical.
It might be question they might be pressured into being uh suspicious as they normally are of anybody else with this kind of power.
That they are uncomfortable having to hold this White House to account.
The reason why this program's audience is going to skyrocket is because we're going to be the only ones doing this.
We're going to be the only ones not in the tank.
We're going to be the only ones who have not thrown in the towel on responsibility and objectivity.
We're the ones who have not joined the comet.
The cult, we're the ones not heading to the Hellbop comet.
Because I guarantee if Obama tells you he's going there, Mr. Allen, you'll probably try to find the next ship on the way out.
I have, you know, I think it's time to introduce a word to describe Obama, and that that word is is arrogant.
I know I have to be careful here.
I'm I'm uh I know I'm well on the way to making a mess for myself or stepping into one.
But I have noticed that the white news anchors and commentators, who are most of them, have become incoherent in how they're reporting all of this.
They're incoherent.
There's nothing objective, there's nothing mature.
It is pure psychobabble hero cult worship.
They're trying to outdo each other to see who can be the most loyal, celebratory, blacks the most eloquent about the lofty descriptions of the personality and personage of Barack Obama.
On the one hand, on the one hand, they speak of how historic this occasion is, because the American people elected a black man as president, but they won't come out and say that they're amazed by this because they believe the American people are racist.
They're ecstatic that they have caused in their own minds this historic election to take place and this historic immaculation to take place.
Believe me, the drybus think they made this happen.
That's why they're totally invested in it, which is why Obama's too big to fail, Mr. Allen.
And I love you.
I love the work you do.
Politico does some good stuff, but you guys are so in the tank he's too big to fail.
You will not allow him to fail because you'd have to take yourselves down with him since you have put him on this pedestal that is 50 miles above everybody else.
You cannot allow anything to take that pedestal down with him on it, and you won't.
But there will be those out there who will who are not personality affected by this, we're not groupies.
I mean, that's the best way to describe it.
The drive-by media have become groupies for Obama and all of the things that they have made up that attach themselves to them.
The American people were not racist before the election.
The American people are not racist now.
And I'm not sure how many Americans are caught up in this whole notion that I mean, I've 55 million people voted against Obama.
I don't know where the notion got started that 80% of the country is excited and can't wait and doesn't want the president who wishes him success and all this sort of stuff.
Uh I uh so many assumptions like three million homeless way back when, so many assumptions that they're that are simply unquantifiable.
You know, anybody can point to an anecdote, ladies and gentlemen, to claim whatever they want, but the fact is this country is the most tolerant society on the face of the earth, which explains one reason why people flee here from every corner of the earth.
But the drive-by media, the American left, have it in their heads that this is still an antibellum slavery days, that it may as well be the 1860s or it may as well be the 1960s with Bull Connors still running around out there.
They have lost all perspective.
They have lost all responsibility.
These white anchors and commentators are now fully revealing their political agendas, which for decades they denied when they insist.
I mean, this is this is their agenda.
When they insist that we all get behind Obama only for one reason because he's black, or maybe there's another reason because he's not George W. Bush.
Like I said numerous times, Obama's historic election is behind me now.
I'm speaking to you personally from the heart.
I don't see black people when I look at black people.
I don't see women, I don't see groups of people.
I see Americans.
When I look at Obama, I see my president.
I see a man who's in charge of this country for the next four years.
I care very deeply what he intends to do.
I care what his policies are.
I'm not going to give him a pass because he represents some sordid past of our country, and as such he gets free reign to do what he wants while we say nothing because we owe this to him based on our original sin of slavery.
Sorry, it doesn't work that way here behind the golden EIB microphone or in a lot of other places.
He's the president.
He has policies.
I know what they are.
I've studied them.
I have every and I have every uh bit of understanding I can on where he wants to take this country.
I don't want to go there.
I don't want this to become a Western European socialist country, and it's going to.
If we get socialized medicine, if we get national health care, as my friend Pete Wayner wrote last week in the Wall Street Journal with Paul Ryan, it's over.
Do you realize if if here's the point they made?
We get national health care.
From that point, there's no reversing it.
You create that kind of dependency and there will be no reversing that.
There will be there will be calls for adding more to the uh the whole concept of the government should do everything.
Why should we get behind Obama, especially if he urges policies that we reject?
Why should we do this?
What is what is the point?
What do we gain by this?
All we gain is what the left has been trying to do to us for years, and that's silence ourselves.
Okay, so we shut ourselves up.
And you think we're going to get praised for this?
You think we're going to be credited?
You think we're going to be brought into the tent?
You think we're going to be part of the quote unquote big click?
Hell no.
If they can't shut us up, the best thing they can do is intimidate us into shutting ourselves up, and I frankly am not interested.
They say everybody wants him to succeed.
Why's that?
Did everybody want Bush or Clinton or Reagan to succeed?
Somebody go back in American history and tell me when we had a president that everybody wanted to succeed.
I'm not even sure every American wanted George Washington to succeed.
There are a lot of people who were, you know, not quite happy about the way that was all going down.
The idea that all of a sudden just for what reason?
You tell me, what reason must we all shut up and hope Obama succeeds?
Especially when he has policy ideas that I reject.
He's not a black president.
He's not the first black president to me.
That's done.
That's the past.
That's well, it will be after tomorrow.
That's that's no justification for engaging in errors and making mistakes and doing the wrong things while people shut up simply because of the historic nature here.
We want him to succeed because he's the first black president.
If that's the case, then who's suspending reason and acting out their own racism?
The racism here is on the left.
Man, am I making a mess today?
But it is.
Everything we're doing here, we're supposed to do because of race.
He's the first black president.
He's okay, so we're gonna shut up and we're to root for him or say, well, he has a successful president.
We well, everybody wants him to succeed.
Well, no.
And it isn't based on race.
As it always is, the racial element or component in all of this is being injected by the drive by media.
A president is to be supported or opposed, whichever is the case, based on what he stands for, what his policies are and so forth, not his race.
Why should anyone want a president to succeed if his positions are considered uh damaging to the economy and national security?
And by the way, who are the true classical liberals now?
Who is it that's obsessed with race as opposed to being colorblind and addressing issues based on their substance?
We're not getting any substance in terms of reporting about Barack Obama at all because the left and the media are obsessed with the racial component.
Well, they claim they're the ones who are colorblind.
I must take a brief time out on Immaculation Day, minus one.
Back after this.
Rushland Board, the last man standing.
On the excellence in broadcasting network, look, another point of hypocrisy that I wish to add here as a means of illustrating what's going on.
Remember when Justice Thomas, Clarence Thomas, was nominated as only the second black man to the Supreme Court.
He was trashed.
They tried to kill him.
They tried to destroy him.
Simply because his views did not comport with those of the liberals.
Did you ever hear the media say we need to get behind Clarence Thomas?
That we all want Clarence Thomas to succeed because of the symbolism behind his appointment.
No.
You heard that he was unqualified, that he was over his head, that he hadn't accomplished much in his life.
And then they sent out the character assassins to try and derail his nomination.
But now we're supposed to sit there, and this guy had a record of performance.
Now we're supposed to set all this aside and just blindly say, oh, yes, I hope he succeeds.
So it clearly is only historic when the minority is a liberal, and we should only unite behind the person if it advances the liberal agenda.
Now, as as an aside, ladies and gentlemen, I think it's worth underscoring Obama's constant attempt to persuade you that he's somebody else.
That is not himself.
This is I think, even if I say so myself, this is a profundity, Wendy.
This is a profound point.
I think you need to pay special attention to Obama's constant attempt to persuade you to somebody else, not who he is.
It's it's one thing for a candidate or a president to draw on past great presidents to advance a point or an agenda, but it's something weird.
It's just creepy.
And by the way, Newsweek magazine, two guys described Obama as creepy, remember?
It was creepy.
You know when it was, snurdly?
It was at his acceptance speech in Grant Park in Chicago.
He's creepy.
There was something creepy about Obama.
He ascends to look over us after he speaks, was the way these newsweek guys described Obama's creepy.
Well, I'm telling you, I have to agree with the newsweek guys.
It is creepy when that candidate or the president tries to persuade you that he actually is that past great president, which is what yesterday was all about.
He is Abraham Lincoln.
There's it it is very, very creepy.
And even on the way out of office.
They just can't stop trashing Bush.
We're supposed to get behind Obama even when he when we disagree with him, but they are free to continue to trash Bush when he was elected and when he is leaving office.
And they call people um uh Obama naysayers.
Obama naysayers.
Well, I think there's some limbaugh naysayers out there, the people attacking me, and there will be even more limbaugh naysayers out there.
I'm still waiting for Obama to tell us how the government's gonna sacrifice folks.
Where everybody else is supposed to sacrifice, but the government's not.
It's employing more people, it's spending more money, it's printing more money.
The government isn't gonna sacrifice here at all.
More audio sound bites, PMS NBC.
They are wondering over there if this is Saturday morning, they're wondering if Obama can win over the last man standing.
I'll tell you, I will really be impressed when I see Rush Limbaugh walking through the receiving line and Barack Obama's white house.
Right.
Right.
Did you did you take too much of Mika's ambience last night, Pat?
Because that's probably not gonna happen.
And I'm just gonna give that out there.
He'll probably slam me, but I I don't know.
But let me ask you this, Pat.
Beyond Rush Limbaugh, Mr. Limbaugh, isn't it to the advantage of the conservatives also to reach out?
Well, I didn't hear the answer, but this again, you know, Buchanan, you know, look if he's got a point.
They're all sitting there laughing, and they know.
You know, we had all we had this conservative dinner last week.
Asked the uh the quite pointed question.
Does anybody think that Barack Obama Actually showed up at George Will's house to have his mind changed.
Do you think that's why he went?
And what what Buchanan's saying, look, I'll believe this conservative outreach if I see Rush Limbaugh walking in the White House.
And of course, the drive-by media et here, what's her name again?
Tameron Hall.
Oh, that'll never happen.
That'll never Well, she's admitting there's no conservative outreach.
There's establishment media with pseudo-conservative outreach.
But there's no conservative outreach.
We wouldn't expect there to be.
We wouldn't expect.
I don't expect for Obama to come to me and give me a chance to change his mind.
And I'm sure as hell don't think he well, his arrogance, he might think he can change mine, but he's not going to try.
He doesn't have to.
He's going to have more problems, people on his side anyway.
Just mark my words.
So they're admitting, the drive-by is admitting it all his reaching out is just symbolism.
Pure phoniness, 100%.
Gotta take a brief time out, ladies and gentlemen.
The EIB Obscene Profit Center.
We'll be back.
And we're back.
This is Rush Limbaugh.
It is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, thrilled and delighted to have you here.
I was, as I mentioned earlier, in Pittsburgh for the AFC championship game last night between the uh the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.
And I tell you, whatever you've read about it, and the and the and it's been descriptive, brutal and so forth, you don't know the half of it.
It was quite a game, and it was a great bit of fun.
