Time Text
Hi, how are you, my friends?
I am your highly trained broadcast specialist.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you with us, folks.
Here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, and the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
We just had a fascinating phone call, and I made a mistake in not asking the caller to hang on so I could continue to talk with her personally in this hour.
Her name was Marie.
She was calling from Discovery Bay.
Discovery Bay where, Mr. Snerdley, do you uh Discovery Bay, California?
And uh she was she was uh a very important caller in many ways.
Her business is in trouble.
Nobody I I didn't get what her business is, but she uh didn't ask her, but she she said that uh everybody in her neighborhood, everybody on her block is in trouble, that nobody has any money to spend, that the value of her home has plummeted.
And she just she's she's all for the stimulus because she she wants somebody to do something.
And she's she she's not particularly fond of Obama, but at least somebody's gonna do something, and she's she needs something to be done.
And I think in in Marie from Discovery Bay, we heard probably the prototype example of why millions of people, millions of people supported Obama.
He doesn't provide any answers to her problems, but she has hope that he does.
And she said that the people need to have hope and confidence in the economy.
They need to open their wallets.
They need to start spending in order for her business not to go under, uh, and the value of her home thus to uh become what it once was, to wipe out that loss.
Uh so the the hope to have confidence in the economy is something she thinks that Obama might bring.
She was she was I don't not begging, but she was she was she's plaintive, and she was asking me what she should do.
Now, it it's it strikes me as sad in a way.
Because honest honest folks, if I if if if I were hurting like Marie in Discovering Bay, Discovery Bay, and about to lose my business.
And by the way, I've I've been broke twice in my life.
I've described the circumstances.
I wouldn't be sitting around waiting for somebody to tell me what I should do, wouldn't he sitting around waiting for somebody in Washington to come up with a plan that's gonna start getting people spend money on I this it's just something that I I cannot relate to.
I I would be doing everything I could to make money if that meant a different line of work, so be it.
But that may sound harsh to people in today's America.
Because we live in an age where a great economy with uh burgeoning opportunity is something the American people expect.
And when it's not there on a cyclical basis, then a crisis ensues.
And I think poor Marie has been subjected to how many years of media attempts to create a crisis mentality where the economy is concerned.
For five years at least, the media's been trying to convince every one of you that we're already in a recession, and now they're trying to convince you we are in a depression, that it is uh worse than the Great Depression, and it isn't.
We haven't even gotten close to how bad it was in the 1970s.
We haven't gotten close to the recession in 1982.
Yet this willingness to started her own business at some point, but now she's willing to put aside whatever she did at that time to start the business and sit around and hope that there will be some change come down the pike because of a change in Occupants in the uh in the White House.
You know, it it it this somewhat analogous, is the analogy here is somewhat flawed, but I have in my stacks of stuff here, some amazing stories.
One story out of Japan.
Japan looking at what happened here in America yesterday with its own hope and regret and disappointment.
Japan has its own racial problems, and it has not overcome its racial problems.
And they are looking now because of what happened yesterday with hope that they too might overcome their racial problems.
In Brazil, same story out of Brazil.
They have racial problems.
And they are looking at what happened yesterday and saying, oh, we have hope.
We now have hope.
Now we can overcome our racial problems.
And this never written about, but I guarantee go to the UK and other European Union nations.
They got racial problems over there, and they have never dealt with them.
And it's it's hopeless.
But the the um mistake that I think these people are making, and this is where this cult-like following behavior comes into play.
Obama didn't do anything.
Now, this is not criticism.
I'm just giving you history.
And I know I'm not supposed to talk this way.
These are things that no one's supposed to say right now.
But Obama had nothing to do with the racial problems in this country undergoing great progress and great change.
He is the recipient.
He's the he's the one who benefits from decades.
Frank, this is what upset the Al Sharptons of the world way back in the campaign.
This is why David Ehrenstein wrote in the Los Angeles Times of the magic Negro.
This is this is this is what the whole discussion of whether or not Obama is authentic was about.
And that discussion took place exclusively among Democrats.
That conversation took place in the campaign exclusively among the left.
Is he authentic?
Because he has no roots to the civil rights struggle in this country.
But yet he's the one who has benefited from centuries of work.
From the founders on, this struggle has been waged.
And it has been, it's been arduous.
Much progress has been made.
Japan's looking at us and we haven't made that kind of progress.
Brazil looking at us, we haven't made that kind of progress.
America has made the kind of progress.
Not one man.
Now, this is not to be critical of Obama.
Now please don't misunderstand.
I, you know, my words are not nuanced.
I mean, this is just flat out right between the eyes.
It's not criticism of Obama.
What it is instead is an attempt to get people to understand the greatness of their country.
Do you know how many people have been taught in the last couple of generations how rotten their country is?
And the reason that they've been taught how rotten their country is because a bunch of multiculturalists got hold of the public education curriculum and started tearing this country down on the basis of group victimization and how we have uh mistreated this group and that group, how we don't even deserve to really be here because we took this country, we took this land immorally and unjustly.
And so millions of Americans have grown up, little kids, watching Saturday morning cartoons, then going to grade school in the middle school, in the high school, in the college, being told what a rotten place their country is.
Now all of a sudden, despite all of this, the election of one man has made them love their country.
Folks, this is not normal.
It is not natural, it is aberrational, and it is unhealthy.
Because what has been taught to these people who now love their country was a lie.
This country has always been a great country with a number of problems that we, as a nation, addressed and fixed or attempted to fix, and in many instances did.
It is America that is great.
America is the sum of its parts.
America is not one man.
America is not a messiah.
America is not a president.
I don't care who he is.
A president is not a Pied Piper.
America is not a nation of Cultists.
And yet we have reached a point now where because of the election of one man whose father was black, people are now being told that magic will occur, that the value of their home will automatically increase, that people will open their pocketbooks and start spending, the economy will rebound, you will have health care, and it won't cost you anything.
Your kids will have education, it'll be no problem.
But even this man, Barack Obama, has been warning all of us for the past number of months that the problems are going to get worse before they get better.
He's now saying he may not be able to fix these problems for four years.
Now, if I am Marie in Discovery Bay, California, and I hear that, then I think, okay, I've got to do it myself.
It's not old fashioned, by the way, and it's not selfish to do things for yourself, particularly in your own self-interest.
A huge difference between self-interest and selfish.
Self-interest is what Marie wants in Discovery Bay.
She wants everybody in her neighborhood to start spending for their own good, and ultimately it will benefit her, and her spending will benefit other businesses.
Well, if people are being told that this is a depression, and massive numbers of people are being fired and laid off, and if the banks are worthless, and if the stock market is plummeting, and if the Messiah is telling everybody it's going to take four years, would somebody tell me where in hell is all this confidence?
All of this confidence that you think you're going to have is not being provided you by your people in Washington.
It's just the opposite.
These people who talk about hope and change are doing their best to depress you.
If I may make this personal, I look at this program as one of the greatest motivational inspirational institutions in America today.
We have a recession.
I don't participate.
That offends some people.
But it took work to get there.
And I'm not saying everybody can do it.
There is a time in my life when I have a recession, I had to deal with it like everybody else.
And I'm not trying to rub people's noses in it.
I'm simply trying to take the experiences of my life in the greatest country on earth and saying if I can do it, then a lot more people can do it who don't think they can.
And I resent this notion that what's coming out of Washington today is that you can't do it until they do something.
You can't do it until Geitner's confirmed as the Treasury Secretary.
And we can't be safe until Hillary's over at the State Department.
And we can't start moving forward until Obama's actually sitting in the Oval Office.
Well, I'm sorry, folks, I don't wait anymore.
I don't wait for anybody when it comes to something I need or something that I want.
I used to.
I used to think that all good things come to those who wait.
Maybe in certain circumstances, but not now.
But I just I really it hurts me.
It pains me greatly to see what apparently has happened to the thinking of millions of people.
Voting for hope, voting for change, and listening to the victors depress you even more.
It's gonna be four years before we can fix it.
It's gonna be it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
And I just don't understand the sitting around and waiting.
And I don't understand placing all your hope in somebody you don't even know.
Placing all your hope in somebody who's not even specific, placing all your hope in somebody who is a celebrity, a public figure PR caricature, a demagogue, who sounds confident and sounds smart, but doesn't ever really say anything.
Nothing wrong with being a self starter.
There's nothing wrong with understanding that times are tough and you have to do what's necessary when they're tough.
You got a multitudinous number of choices.
You live in the United States of America.
You can sit and wait for these miracles.
You can sit and wait for the magic.
You can try to survive or subsist while you're doing that, or you can go out and try to make your own way.
You might have changed jobs.
You might have to pull up roots.
You might have to do any number of things that you never thought you would have to do.
But nothing's changed in America.
Nobody has any guarantees.
They never have had, and you don't have any now.
This is the greatest country on earth.
It still is.
But not because of who was inaugurated yesterday.
This is like my examples of the Japanese and the Brazilians.
They now think, because of what happened yesterday that they have hoped they overcome their own racial divides.
They haven't made any progress or not enough to satisfy them.
What happened yesterday was the result of centuries.
Of pain, suffering, hard work, sacrifice, you name it.
Yesterday was the culmination of events.
And the person who was inaugurated had nothing to do with them.
Again, this is not criticism.
But the inability to see truth and the pr the the desire or the preference to live in a in a fog to go along with the inertia of popular sentiment.
Just because that's what most people are thinking, that's what most people are thinking.
I think I'll think it and feel it too.
Nation of followers.
What are we following?
We're following promises that are peppered with pessimism.
We have elected to power a party which survives and thrives on the creation of daily crises, keeping you upset, uncertain, and full of doubt about your own country.
Making you filled with suspicion about the institutions in your own country that would enable you to emerge from this economic melee's intact.
Since you doubt the institutions, since they've made you doubt many of the traditions and institutions that have defined this country's greatness, you now have thrown in with one man.
The three hundred and two million Americans, and you've thrown in with one of them.
Because we have to do something.
Well, no, this America's been made great because you decided to do something.
The people who made this country great, the people who make this country work are listening to me right now.
And I doubt too many radios are on in Washington.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the doctor of democracy, America's truth detector, general all-round good guy.
All right, so I guess a number of you are waiting around for the miracle, the economic magic that will once again restore prosperity to your family circumstance.
Well, that's not on that's not happening.
Instead, Obama circulated a draft executive order today that calls for the closing of Guantanamo Bay within a year, and halting any war crimes trials in the meantime.
Closing the facility in Cuba would further the national security and foreign policy interests of America and the interests of justice.
Read the draft prepared for Obama's signature.
Some of the detainees currently held at Gitmo would be released, others would be transferred elsewhere and later put on trial under terms to be determined.
Now, I don't know what to believe about this.
Because it was just last week Obama said, yeah, I'm going to sign that executive order, so I'm not surprised about that.
But he said, look, some of the people down there are really dangerous.
They're really bad people, and even though the evidence was tainted against them, it's true.
And I don't know what to do.
We we we may not close it for four years.
Now all of a sudden he's going to close it in a year.
So this that's nothing to do with the economy.
That's not gonna cause people to open up their pocketbooks and start spending money.
Cybercast News Service staff writer Fred Lucas roaming the grounds in DC yesterday.
Anne Marie Adams, a graduate student, Howard University, told Fred Lucas, Obama has given us a reason to look at government as a way to get out of this mess.
He has given us a reason to believe that government can help us.
It's not entirely tangible how Obama has changed America, she said.
It's like when you go to church and you feel God speaking to you.
It's not tangible, but you just know.
Now she's a college student, but he's God to her.
Doesn't need any specifics.
All she needs to do is hear him speak.
And things are going to change.
Folks, I'm telling you, this is not healthy, and he and his administration are encouraging this.
It is not and as such, whether things get worse or better, these people are going to think they're getting better because he is in charge of it.
It's just sad to think we've lost this many citizens.
Obama just signed a couple of executive orders out there.
And with the signing of these executive orders, the four year campaign to reelection in twenty twenty twelve has begun.
Uh it this th th this order freezing the pay of his staff is entirely symbolic, as if they would be entitled to a pay raise any time soon anyway.
So he's gonna freeze the pay of his staff.
And this is all calculated here to make him look like he's setting a new era of ethics.
And it's all calculated to make it look like he's concerned about you while you're having economic trouble, his staff is gonna have a pay freeze.
Uh who knows what their starting salaries are in the first place.
They might have been built up uh over normal anyway, and then frozen.
We don't know.
He also signed an executive order prohibiting lobbying uh for people in his administration.
I don't know how many presidents have done that, but he certainly is uh is not the first.
But it's uh it's all form, it's it's uh symbolism over substance here, and the economic aspects of this are designed to make it okay, it's getting serious about the economy, he's gonna freeze the pay of his staff.
It's sort of like raising taxes on the rich.
Let me ask Marie in Discovery Bay and the rest of you who have small businesses.
Let's say Obama announces today he's gonna raise taxes on the rich, and he's gonna do it by uh suspending the Bush tax cuts.
Is that gonna give people any more money to come by your shop?
Is it gonna give people any more money to come by and and exchange their dollars for your goods or services?
When he if hypothetically raised taxes, I don't think so.
Uh by the same token, how does freezing the pay of his staff affect your business?
How does it affect people opening up their pocketbooks and walking in to your small business?
This is Galen in Cincinnati as we return to the phones.
Thank you for waiting, Galen.
Great to have you here.
Look, I wanted to uh tell you that um I think you may have this wrong.
Uh, in terms of Mr. Obama being uh the Messiah and or people looking at him as such.
I don't think that people look at Mr. Obama any differently than the people who follow you or who are hanging on every word that you say follow you.
Um you are a person who speaks for a certain segment or generation of our uh society, and they hang on your every word.
Well, the same is true with Mr. Obama, and just as you leave people, people look to him as a leader.
Now, understand, I've never voted for a Democrat.
I did not vote for Mr. Obama.
I'm a Republican.
But I backed up wide enough, back far enough away that I can actually see the forest.
Now I'm no longer in the trees.
And so I'm not sure.
What does that mean?
Wait a second.
So I here's what it means.
You're so close to this that you can't see it objectively.
You can't give this man credit.
I I'm actually a ditto head.
I've been listening to you for eighteen years.
All right.
All my friends here in Cincinnati, they know me, and they know that I am.
What were you doing the first day you heard me?
What was I talking about?
I was working at a t-shirt company called Belvisheen, and I don't remember exactly what it was you were talking about, but a friend of mine came to me up came to my desk and uh told me, he says, You gotta listen to this guy.
So I turned you on, and I was the only black person working at this company, and this guy told me that's all I'm listening to it, and he said, Is that offensive to you?
I said, No, the guy what he's saying is right.
So I'm I'm in listening.
Well, I have to tell you that I appreciate that, but nothing's changed.
I'm no closer to the trees than ever.
I'm further away from them than I've ever been.
I don't know.
At times it doesn't appear that way.
It it definitely appears that you have a a certain bias and with be with uh No, no, no, no.
You you're missing you're you're misunderstanding this.
I'm I'm I'm glad you called because you know I'm in the communication business.
If I'm failing to communicate in a way that you understand the points I'm trying to make, it's my problem.
Because you sound like an intelligent guy.
Well, you might be giving it away.
What did you hear me?
What what what did you hear me say that you think I have make makes me think I'm I'm too close to things or I've lost uh touch or whatever you would say.
Well, I mean, I mean, let's let's go to the point who I called.
I mean, you you mentioned the fact that people are looking at this man uh as a single person to cure their ill.
I don't think that's any truer of him than it is of you because now but wait a second.
Wait, it most definitely is.
But that's that's not you you said I'm too closer to allow me to explain in context.
Well you did not say that.
You you did earlier, you're gonna be repeating it here.
Okay.
My people in this audience are not waiting for me for for me to do things for them.
I'm sorry I didn't hear you repeat that, please.
The people in this audience are not waiting for me to do things for them.
They're not waiting for me to uh cut their taxes or to punish somebody or to give them a check or to uh make their small businesses healthy.
Uh they're not they're not looking to meet the same reason they look.
I'm not a messiah to the people, I'm not godlike.
I didn't say I didn't say for the same reason.
You're you're misconstruing what I'm saying.
I said in the same way.
In an analogous way, you inspire people, okay?
Uh people who are inspired myself.
I'm inspired to do things that I probably wouldn't have done in my life if I had not listened to you for so many years.
I have a I understand politics and politics before was boring to me.
You do take the complex complex and you do make it simple.
Well, in the same way Mr. Obama speaks to a generation of people who are um who don't have a lot of hope.
I mean, I think that's why hope was a big old word for them.
Um they don't understand what's going on and why it is the way it is, why they feel so negative, or why the generations before them.
Well, they don't.
I'm just saying, I do this man has put language in a context and in a style that they can comprehend and they can get behind.
He has no substance.
Well, I didn't say he has he has a style of speaking that people think that he's going to do things that my audience doesn't think I'm going to accomplish one thing for them.
My audience is not waiting around for me to do things or to cause things to happen for them.
You know, that I the the uh the comparison if if I were a less secure person, I'd be sitting here thanking you or thanking you for flattering me like this by comparing me to a Messiah.
Well, but I know I'm not a Messiah.
He really thinks he is.
He just said at this signing ceremony the American people are really counting on us now.
Well, I hope I know that's true, and that that that depresses me.
I want the American people to count on themselves.
Rush, that's true of every administration.
That's that's true of every administration.
Is not on that administration to to lead them to make wild decisions.
Now, this is key here, Galen.
You know, you could say that Reagan was great because he made people feel better about themselves.
And you might say that that Obama did the same thing.
The problem and the difference is Reagan made them understand they are the ones who make the country work, that America's greatness is defined by them.
Obama is telling people that it is government and is the only institution that can save them.
That, sir, is sacrilegious to me.
That's heresy as a capitalist, that's heresy as an American, that's not inspiring.
I think Obama, quite frankly, is depressing people.
Well, I'll tell you, I I think you're wrong.
Um I don't see, I didn't see anybody on television yesterday was depressed.
All the people that call me on my phone did not express depression.
You know, so I I don't see that.
But in any case, what I'm trying to tell you from what I see is that Mr. Obama is someone who people respect and they think of as uh a leader.
Just like you, just like any other person in the media who is excited people.
The problem here for other people is that they don't realize that this is a contextual situation.
Here's the problem.
All right, look, look, look, Galen, I I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but but there's so many.
Galen, I don't run the country.
I'm not trying to tell people, I'm not trying to come up with policies that are going to require people to live the way I damn well want them to.
I'm not the one coming up with plans telling them what they can do and when they can't do it, how much They have to give me Obama to make sure everybody else is happy.
I'm taking nothing from anybody.
I'm giving nobody anything.
I cannot raise their taxes.
I cannot redistribute their wealth.
I cannot deny people their earnings.
I cannot rearrange society.
I cannot proclaim this group of people unfair, and those people need to be gotten even with.
I can't pick winners and losers in this country.
I can't tell you that you deserve to lose some so somebody else can win some.
Obama has that power, and my brother, he wants that power.
He wants the be able to pick winners and losers.
I deal in ideas.
I inspire people to think.
I inspire people to be positive and optimistic because I believe that's the way life is enjoyed, and that's the way people get things done.
Obama is inspiring people to sit down and wait for help from Washington.
And I already see what has happened to a whole population of people who have been for 50 years, Galen, sitting around and waiting for help from Washington.
Their families are destroyed.
They are single mothers, they are drug-infested neighborhoods in which they live in.
They have no hope because for 50 years they have been sitting around and waiting for help from Washington.
And every four years, they complain about the lack of help from Washington arriving.
And the people promising the help from Washington blame it on people like me because we are racist, sexist, bigot homophobes who are holding those people who need help from Washington back.
I seek no power over people.
I seek people to have and own their own power and their own confidence and their own optimism.
I seek to have people realize that they live in the greatest country on earth.
And is the greatest country on earth because of them.
Not a single figure, not a personality, not a celebrity, not a single hero.
This country is an idea that is bigger than any mortal individual.
But I can punish nobody.
I cannot reward anybody.
I cannot close a prison where terrorists are housed and let them go and call it national security.
I cannot meet with Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinizad and claim in doing so that I'm making them my friend.
I can't do anything Obama can do.
I don't want that kind of power.
That kind of power invested in one person who believes he has it scares the hell out of me.
And you compound that fright with the fact that so many people do not have the guts, the strength, the education to resist the tug of popular sentiment.
And we have a nation of lemmings believing lie after lie after lie, myth after myth after myth, liberal idea, failed liberal idea, failed liberal idea after failed liberal idea.
I don't compel anything.
I don't try to confuse people.
I simply turn on the golden EIB microphone and share my honest passions and beliefs with people, and they're free to go elsewhere.
They're free to ignore, they're free to believe, they're free to be entertained by.
I don't care.
They're free to do whatever they want.
But a lot of people aren't free to smoke cigarettes where they want, they're not free to drink where they want, they're not free to eat the kind of food they want to eat.
They're not free to eat trans fats.
They're not free to drive certain places.
Pretty soon we're going to be told what kind of cars we have to drive.
I can't cause that.
I can't restrict anybody's freedom.
But we've elected a guy who can, does, and wants to.
All under the guise of saving us.
So I appreciate the effort.
And I appreciate somewhat losing my temper here.
But don't compare me ever to an authoritarian who thinks so little of people that without me, they can barely breathe on their own.
Don't ever do that.
Let's go to audio sound by number 12, shall we?
As a backup.
Now, by the way, if you want something chiseled in marble, what I just said needs to be chiseled in marble.
Right, Snerdley.
All right, here's Obama last night, ABC TV, during the coverage of the neighborhood ball.
By the way, American Idol outrated the Obama inaugural coverage last night.
But that ain't good.
Look at the two choices.
I mean, they're both pop culture cellar dwellers.
On one group, you got a bunch of people with no talent on a music show.
On the other group, we got a people with dangerous talents.
Running comes.
Well, anyway, here's here's Obama.
He was interviewed by Robin Roberts of ABC.
She said, When you walked out and you saw that C of humanity all the way back to the Lincoln Memorial, what do you what are you going to remember most?
You know, I think it is just the way that the American people have made this about more than just an election.
And that kind of spirit, part of what I'd wanted to communicate uh in uh my inauguration speech was that government's gonna work.
We're gonna make it work.
There it is, a commitment to government.
Uh so Marie in in uh Discovery Bay, commitment to we're gonna make government work.
It's an insult to Bush, and it is a message to sit back and wait.
We're gonna make government work.
We're gonna make government work for you.
If only that were true, if only government really did work for us.
We work for it.
We work for government.
We are totally dependent on what the hell they do and what obstacles they put in front of us.
But there you have it government, government, government, government, government, and big government is not the answer.
Now, here is Obama lecturing his staff.
This is when he signed a couple of executive orders here.
Um see, this is tells his staff that they're not there to advance their careers or their ideology.
We are here as public servants, and public service is a privilege.
It's not about advantaging yourself.
It's not about advancing your friends or your corporate clients.
It's not about advancing an ideological agenda or the special interests of any organization.
Public service is simply and absolutely about advancing the interests of Americans.
The men and women in this room understand this, and that's why you're here.
Every president says this.
It's not about us, it's about you.
And this is this is PR staging.
Uh this is uh it's it's part of the uh creation that we're gonna be ethically pure.
Our people don't care about their own advancement.
There's no person in the world who doesn't care about their own advancement.
Everybody taking this job hopes to parlay it in the private sector for a big bucks down the road.
It's the way of the world.
They should.
I'm not being critical of it.
He's telling us he's got people aren't gonna do that.
That is BS.
And now on the first day of work, his staff, Obama freezing their pay.
During this period of economic emergency, families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington.
That's why I am instituting a pay freeze on the salaries of my senior White House staff.
Some of the people in this room will be affected by the pay freeze.
What were they expecting a raise on the first day?
So Washington's gonna tighten its belt.
Your belt is not gonna get looser.
