Time Text
And we are back.
Great to have you here, ladies and gentlemen.
It's L. Rushbow, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concern, Maha Rushy.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Looking forward to chatting with more of you people.
Telephone number 800 282-2882.
And the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
President Obama, after his meeting with Representative John Boehner and other Republicans, starting again, President Obama, after his meeting with John Boehner and other Republican leaders up on Capitol Hill in a hallway.
I recognize that we're not going to get 100% of support.
But I think everybody there felt good about that that I was willing to explain how we put the package together, how we were thinking about it, and that we continue to welcome some good ideas.
Oh, it's getting frustrating.
I don't know.
I don't know how confident he sounds there.
He's going to get this...
He can get this passed without John Boehner.
He can get this passed without a single Republican vote.
He doesn't want that.
He wants Republican cover.
Folks, I'm just going to ask you one more time if this bill is so dynamic, and if it's so wonderful, it's so miraculous.
If this is going to bring about all the hope and change, if this is going to bring back all the jobs that have been lost, all the value in the stock market, all the value in your homes that have been lost, why doesn't he want sole credit for it?
Do you realize that if his stimulus bill would do all of that, he would welcome no Republican signatures on board this thing?
He could finish off the Republican Party forever if he thought this bill was going to do all that.
But he knows this bill won't do any of that.
And that's why he wants cover.
He's trying to co-opt the Republicans.
He wants them to take some of the heat here.
1993, Bill Clinton's first budget, not one Republican vote.
And it led, that was one of the many ingredients that led to the Republicans taking the House back for the first time in 40 years in the campaign of 1994.
John Boehner has said, we're going to do everything we can to work with the President.
It is my understanding that the gag order has gone out on Capitol Hill from Republican leaders to uh the rank and file that they are not to speak critically of President Obama.
They can speak critically of the package.
They can speak critically of the legislation, but there is a gag order on any criticism of President Obama.
I cannot say that this is 125% fact.
I cannot say this with ontological certitude, but I have heard it from a couple of different sources that this quote-unquote gag order exists.
Now Boehner has put out a press release, 20 facts about the Democrats stimulus package.
Let me just go through some of these that Boehner has put out, and these are these are uh the result of the people who've read the legislation.
The $825 billion package will exceed more than 1.1 trillion when adding in the interest between 2009 and 2019 to pay for it.
That's 300 billion dollars uh plus something.
You in addition, uh you know the old saw uh folks back I remember back in the 80s when the Reagan deficits were the monster, the Reagan deficits, the annual budget deficit of 400 billion or whatever they were, the Democrats were just screaming blue murder, and one of the arguments the Democrats used back then was, well, you know, if we're gonna borrow all this money and we're gonna have all these deficits, that's money that's not gonna be available in the private sector.
Well, they were right.
But the Reagan plan dealt with that by keeping a lot of money in the private sector in the hands of people who build the economy, i.e.
us.
What percentage?
I give you a little pop quiz.
What percentage of economic what percentage of GDP is American consumerism?
Does the American people buying, selling uh driving, flying, Hotels, all the American people going about their lives.
What percentage of the GDP, what percentage of the economy?
70% is the exact number.
70%.
The other 30% would be the defense program, the government, you know, building airplanes and so forth with taxpayers.
70%.
Now, therefore, what do you think needs to happen to bring this back?
That 70%'s not going to be 70% once these people get through.
There are $650 million in this bill for digital TV coupons.
It's not stimulus.
$600 million for a new fleet of green environmentally approved cars for the federal government.
And by the way, that $600 million is double the current cost for the existing fleet.
Six billion dollars for colleges and universities, many of which have billion dollar endowments, $50 million in funding for the National Endowment of the Arts, $44 million for repairs to the U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters, $200 million for the National Mall, including $21 million for SAD.
The stimulus bill establishes $32 new government programs at a cost of over $136 billion.
That means that more than a third of this plan's spending provisions are dedicated to creating new government programs.
There is $4.19 billion for neighborhood stabilization or acorn community organizing voter fraud groups.
That is, we are paying to fund Obama's army.
Just one in seven dollars of an $18.5 billion expenditure on energy efficiency would be spent within the next 18 months.
One in seven dollars.
The House Democrat bill will cost each and every household $6,700 in additional debt.
The bill provides enough spending, $825 billion, to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700.
$825 billion is enough to give every person in Ohio $72,000.
$825 billion is enough to give every person living in poverty in the U.S. $22,000.
And it goes on.
There are six more categories and and uh and items, but this is just the beginning.
Once this kind of thing happens, we had stimulus all last year and it didn't work.
We've had bank bailouts, and it hasn't worked.
The evidence is in fact, what's really damning about this is that a credit crunch is largely to blame for all of this, correct?
The credit crunch because there's debt out there.
We got way too much debt.
Debt was leveraged at 30 to 1.
Unsupportable ratios.
What is this?
What is this?
What this is this is debt like we haven't seen in an annual budget deficit.
And by the way, Obama said that he was gonna cut wasteful government spending.
Where's that list?
You remember he said that he was going to go through every line and find out the programs that weren't necessary, gonna get rid of them.
Haven't seen that of you.
I'll tell you where he'll find those programs.
Where do you think he'll find those programs?
Yes, he will.
He will find programs that we don't need that we can cut.
I guarantee you will.
Every Democrat president always has.
It's called Pentagon.
It's called the Department of Defense.
It's called closing Guantanamo Bay.
It's called uh demilitarizing space.
It's called going on Al-Arabia TV and saying the United States is too often dictated, not listened.
We are not your enemy.
If you're a jihadist listening to this, this is a big day for you, watching Obama last night.
Barney Frank, the truth has been spoken.
This afternoon, MSNBC Live, the anchor Enriam Mitchell, in meeting, Wankingman, asked Barney Frank.
White House is already hinted at compromises, as we've suggested, fixing the AMT, some of these other things, reaching out to the Democrats telling Henry Waxman not to put the family planning money in.
Are the Democrats going to go ahead and compromise and should they?
The fact that we are talking about this uh very large by traditional standards recovery package is an acknowledgement that the the the right wing philosophy of leave the market alone that it hasn't worked.
Now it's a mistake sometimes politically to accept your basic victory and then get too bitterly and boiled over the details.
This is a repudiation of the Republican conservative philosophy and an affirmation of what's traditionally been democratic philosophy, which is private and public sectors can work together constructively.
There you have it, Barney Frank making it official.
The Democrat Party theory is that the election was a victory for the combining of the public and private sector, and there's no such thing as that.
One is going to usurp the other, the public sector, the government will usurp the private sector.
This was not a failure of Republican right-wing philosophy of leave the market alone.
The market was fixed by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
The mortgage market, the lending market was fixed, it was rigged.
This is outrageous.
This is outrageous.
If John Thane is going to be forced to resign, if this guy at Lehman Brothers fooled, if he's going to be forced to resign, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd ought to be walking out the door right behind him.
I am serious as I can be.
Andrea Mitchell then said this.
Now the Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, pressured Citigroup to drop plans for their $50 million jet.
Certainly a pretty big fat symbol.
What should be done?
What about legislation?
What about a new regulator to look at the way TARP money is being spent?
Or whether or not the banks are not only getting the money out to people, but whether they're using the money to recapitalize themselves and and not do what John Thane and others have done in terms of decorating their office suites.
I was never for John McCain for president, but one more good reason is that apparently John Thane would have been his secretary of the treasury, so that's one more of uh reason to be grateful.
I'm very disappointed that John Thane So here again the diversion focusing on the jet, focusing on the bathroom, which means nothing to you.
It means nothing to us.
What means everything is how trillions of dollars is being usurped and taken out of the private sector by Barney Frank, who now claims that's what the election is about.
The election was about government getting bigger and taking over parts of the private sector.
That's what he says it was about.
That's the mandate Obama thinks he's got.
And this is why it's so frustrating.
I cannot believe so much of the conservative intelligentsia stands or sits silent while this is going on.
Mr. Frank, Congressman Frank, let me...
I have a question.
Did John Thane pay his taxes?
Did the guys at Citigroup that you have uh Geithner investigating and telling what they can and can't about it?
Did they pay their taxes?
Thane pays taxes.
I mean, we want to know.
See a California woman that gave birth to Octoplets.
Eight kids.
I sure as hell hope Nancy Pelosi does not hear about that.
North Vernon, Indiana.
Dave, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here.
Hello, Rush.
Hi.
Yeah, I'm a uh longtime listener, first-time caller.
And uh I just uh, you know, I was really upset over the first uh bailout, and then there, you know, we're getting ready to spend another trillion dollars.
And one of the things that I uh I'm really upset about is the explanation to the American people, especially as a taxpayer.
And I was hoping you might be able to enlighten me a little bit.
Uh I've always felt like the economy uh cash kind of recirculates around, and you know, when the banks came to us and said, hey, we need a you know almost a trillion dollars.
I'm just sitting there asking myself, well, where'd the cash go?
Well, that is a multi part answer.
And I I uh I I'm gonna I'm just gonna give you a sketch answer to the question, okay?
Okay.
Because there are many places that the money went, and it became sort of a uh a Ponzi scheme put off down the road.
I don't know which came first.
But it doesn't matter because they happen within close proximity.
One of the things, and the real foundation for this goes back to the Community Redevelopment Act, the CRA or RDA, whatever it was, that required homeownership for people who had no business owning a home and they couldn't afford it.
The word should have been rent, but uh people felt it was not fair that some people were not allowed to have homes.
So loans are made to people that could not pay them.
Therefore, those loans are worthless.
When you loan somebody the money for and there's no down payment, when you loan somebody $300,000 for a house or whatever it was, and there's no way to pay it back, you have just given away $300,000 unsecured, no way of getting it back.
These loans were forced on many of these banks by groups like Acorn by a couple of former presidents.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack entered some.
Why don't we just say Fannie Mae needs $16 billion more to stay solvent?
Have you seen that today?
We've already given these clums, I forget what the number is, $85 or $25 billion, but we have given these Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and by the way, these Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, this is a great lesson too.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are said to be private sector companies.
That was the that was the wizardry in setting them up.
But they're not.
They are government agencies.
They are so-called private sector entities run by the government.
It doesn't work.
They were they were used to to to line the pocket books of the people that work there just like these guys on Wall Street theoretically did.
So it's a tangled web, but basically what you had was these unsecured mortgages in the millions.
And then you had people who were flipping houses just to get money on them, never living in them.
It was just it was an absolute mess.
So the banks then tried to find a way to make these mortgages that were worthless worth.
So they sold them.
In some cases, they sold them to Fannie Mae, and other places they batched them and they sold them to other financial institutions.
Then they created insurance policies, which were also sold or another financial products to try to give these worthless mortgages some kind of value.
You hear the term toxic assets.
Remember now that the original purpose of the $700 billion bailout in October was to buy up these toxic assets.
Not so much tie them up, but to try to establish a value for them.
The value was zero.
So establish a value and then auction them.
Then you might have people buy them if you assign value.
It never happened.
So all of these banks stuck.
Then there was Sarbanes Oxley, marked to market, where they had to they had to go their balance sheets every year and say, okay, our our worth is based on our activity this year, not what we expect to be coming in in the future, not based on our long-range plans, but marked to market, and right now we're broke.
We don't have deadly squad because our mortgages that we were forced to lend don't have any value.
And neither do the insurance programs we created to give them value.
So we got toxic asset after toxic.
We've got poison in the financial system.
When the house business, when the home business, when the the whole thing was going and people thought values would never decline, some of these same people were borrowing and lending money at 30 to 1 ratios.
In other words, they were borrowing or lending for one dollar they had, borrowing or lending $30.
Those ratios could not be supported.
Those ratios could not be maintained.
And so what you have here is a liquidity crisis.
So they've been trying to pump liquidity or cash back into these institutions that had none because all the things they invest.
think of this.
There's a stock.
You've got a good friend.
Folks, I got a stock for you.
This stock and it's cost nothing.
You can go out and you c you buy buy a million dollars of nothing and you go do it.
You can't lose a million dollars worth of nothing.
If you if all you've got to hundred grand buy it, buy this stock, nothing.
It won't cost you anything.
Well, you buy nothing, you have nothing.
Then you try to give nothing some value, and it's impossible.
Zero is zero.
So that's where it went.
And meanwhile, the people that got the mortgages largely some of them still in their houses, and the people that got mortgages that can pay for them, their rates went up.
They're the ones being foreclosed on.
You know what?
We're gonna skip No, well not what just seven uh and then uh what did I tell you, 24, 24.
26, 24, 25.
26, 24, 25.
Is that Yeah, it's it's seven, and it's the two Obamas uh from L Rabia.
Eleven and twelve, it's seven, eleven, and twelve.
That's what it's gonna be.
Anyway, but I want to go to the phones before we do any of that.
Jane in Bloomington, Indiana.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Thanks, Rush.
Um Steeler Ditto's from Snowy Bloomington.
Thank you very much.
Um Rush, I just have to well you want to talk a little football here.
Uh my husband was Ben's coach when he was at Miami University, and um Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I just want you to know that Ben is is even better than he seems.
Wait a second.
Was your husband a position coach and a head coach?
No, he was the head coach.
Your husband was the head coach at Miami of Ohio when Rothlisburger was the QB there.
Right.
We recruited him.
And I remember uh he's from Findlay, Ohio.
That's correct.
That's right, that's right.
And and when he came for his recruiting weekend, he wanted to make sure make sure that I knew how to pronounce his name and spell his name because he so you know he was um even as an eighteen-year-old, you know, he had such promise and um not only challenge on the field,
which obviously we all you know, we all can appreciate that, but but he had that special something that um has brought him to where he is, you know, as do you remember who else I don't know this, I should, but do you remember who else was uh was recruiting Rothlisberger against your husband?
Ohio State, and surprisingly, Duke, uh he would his his dad uh went to Georgia Tech, um, so he had a a soft spot for the A the ACC.
Um but um the story was that um you know that there were some that didn't pronounce his name correctly or whatever and having an odd last name I can identify with that.
How would uh how would people what is your last people want to know your your your husband's name?
What was the coach?
My last name is Heppner, which which sounds good, but when you throw in the O and the E, it's kind of hard for the Right.
And I remember Rothisberger has said your your uh your husband, one of the most formative uh mentors and and uh people in his life.
He was um yes.
Yes.
And I think your husband had a lot to do with uh with singing Ben's praises to the Steelers, correct?
There's no doubt.
There is no doubt.
And um, you know, uh they just they really had um a kind of a special thing with each other and and um you know, they were there uh at some of those real high points um uh in in their lives, really, and and um kind of how often do you still talk to Rothlisberger?
Yes.
And he's um he's just special.
He's just he is just a neat person and and um for him to experience all that he has and really uh such a short time and it and at a relatively long a uh young age and be able to handle it the way that he has.
It's just it's a tribute to um to his family.
I loved uh the quote about his dad, and that's just absolutely the truth.
He just Oh, you should have seen him with this little kid reporter.
Uh I I know.
I've seen it, and I just when you were saying that I thought I I I knew exactly how he was because he's um there's nothing superficial about him and and um you know, uh as much well, you understand that as much publicity and as many people uh want a piece of him, it would be easy for him to to you know be different than the way he is.
So I just Well, he does breathe rarefied air.
You know, there are only six hundred and fifty people in the country do what he does, and in terms of the position he plays, there's only thirty-two.
Right and not all of those uh you know are in his league, so it's really rarefied air.
He's uh uh one of the one of the they got four or five leaders on that team, but he's clearly uh one of them, and it's it he has kept level head.
He's got he's been through a lot uh for his age.
Success, challenges and so forth.
But he does seem to have a uh really a really level head.
And I think I think his family and his faith, I think is it's a tribute to that.
I really do.
That's um well, this is a thrill for me.
I hear I'm talking to the wife of the coach at Ohio Miami, Ohio recruited Rothlass Burger.
You and I uh are you gonna talk to him this week?
I bet he's I mean he's swamped and hard to get to.
Right, right, right.
May text, but um probably won't talk.
But um we came to Indiana University and then Terry passed away in 07, and so um you know, it's it's um it's it's been an interesting time for me to to be able to see him.
I wish Coach could you know to see where he is.
We went to the last Super Bowl, uh, when they were at Detroit in 06, and of course that was great, and and you know, with a win and all, but um it's just where he is right now.
It's just it's real special.
So well, congratulations.
I know that's gotta make you uh very proud.
They're very few.
Very proud.
Well, it is because you're your your husband was in the process of molding young men uh to to be the best they could be at what they do, and Rothless Burger's at the top of that hill.
Yep, yep, for sure.
Well, thanks.
Jane, thanks for the call.
This has been this been a uh this been a treat.
How do you Now obviously as the wife of football coach, I know you can't be objective here, uh, but I want you to tell me what you really think about the outcome of the Super Bowl.
Um I think the Steelers really came on as the year went on, and I think um my sense is they're hitting their stride right now, and I think it is gonna be one great game, but I I'd never bet against the Steelers.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
You know, let me tell you something.
I I got a I had a friend of mine uh send me an email last night.
He knows that I'm a football expert.
He knows I'm a Steelers fan.
Mm-hmm.
And he said the line out there is six points.
I think that's not enough.
He said they're gonna have to raise this line to get some cardinal money out there.
They're gonna have to go to at least seven.
What do you think?
Well, and I said, no, here's here's this is the truth.
Jane, you won't say it, but I will.
On paper.
On paper, this game, and I don't play it on paper, I understand.
On paper, this is a decisive Steelers win.
On pa this isn't even close, but they have to hype the Super Bowl.
So they have to make it look like and anything can happen on any given day, injuries and turnovers and and this kind of thing.
But from what I'm hearing, if somebody if if if if if Larry Fitzgerald, number eleven for the Arizona Cardinals, for some reason has a bad day or can't go, they don't have a prayer.
Well.
They're making this a one-man office with Warner, of course, throwing the ball, but somebody's got to catch it.
Angwan Bolden is uh uh uh the there's gonna be so much talent on that field.
There's no way.
And that's the best thing about football, is that oh I just the only reason I'd read Sunday is because I don't want it to be over.
But um you it's just it's the greatest game.
Now that's that's that's one of the greatest comments from a woman about football I have ever heard.
I don't want it to be over.
I don't.
Most women say that about their relationships.
You said it about a football game.
That's fabulous.
Yeah.
Well, thank you, Rush.
It's good to talk to you.
I appreciate you taking my call.
Thank you, Jane.
It's a thrill.
Um uh l let's see now.
Um preview here of my discussion with the Hutch.
And by the way, we're gonna be talking to Tony Dungey on Thursday about his great, great new book uh called Finding Your Path to Significance.
You know, everybody wants to matter.
The title of his book is Uncommon.
And I went through the chapters here.
This is just great.
A li h how do you what does it take to live a life of significance?
There's a chapter in here.
Choose influence over image.
I can't wait.
That's a part, that's a section.
There are four chapters on that.
Uh anybody everybody thinks this game is the Steelers defense versus Warner, the Arizona QB from the grocery stores of Iowa.
That's the story of Kurt Warner.
In fact, you want to know the real story of Kurt Warner.
I'm going to make you cry, ladies.
It's in Iowa, snowy day one day.
And Kurt Warner is in the grocery store sacking groceries.
And a woman comes in that just really appeals to him.
I can't.
I can't go to dinner.
I'm making this real short.
Can't get can't go to dinner.
Why not?
Well, my son is uh disabled wheelchair.
I'm not sure what it was.
Uh my daughter and so forth.
I just I just oh Warner, I'll I'll take all four of you to dinner.
Or all three of you.
Take the four of us.
They did, and that's who he's married to.
And uh they're gonna he's he's he's he's people that know him say he's one of the top five people in all the football.
So the the the the game is Warner, the sentimental favorite, the good guy.
With the two great receivers, really the one special one, uh uh Larry Fitzgerald Anquan Bolden out there causing trouble, a la TO now and then uh with Edger and James on the trail end of a wonderful career.
Upstart team.
And here they come, the big bad Pittsburgh Steelers who meme everybody they play with, and they send them off the field in carts and they go to the hospital.
So everybody thinks this game's gonna be the Steelers' defense, number one in the league against the Cardinals offense.
I don't think so.
I think I know how that's gonna come out.
This game is going to hinge.
I'm gonna see if the Hutch agrees with me on this.
I know he won't just in principle.
This game's gonna come down to the Steelers offense.
Jane, I know you're still listening.
This game's gonna come down to the Steelers offense versus the Cardinal defense.
Because if Warner doesn't, if Warner doesn't turn it over, if the Steelers don't defense doesn't score some points, the Steelers offense is gonna have to.
And they did 35 against the Chargers, but against the uh Ravens, uh the defense had to do it.
The defense had to score the points that that won the game.
So watch the the Steeler offense and the Arizona defense.
Of course, analyzing this stuff is kind of silly, too, because you can't predict turnovers and you can't predict, you can't predict injuries, um, you can't predict a whole bunch of things that can totally change momentum.
Brief.
Timeouts.
We will be back.
I don't believe folks, hang on just a second, I don't believe this.
Snerdley is telling me a story.
I did with all that goes on here.
Why didn't you warn the guy?
Sometimes it gets so frustrating.
Snerdley's telling me this story.
A friend of his had a computer, went out, got a new computer, and tried to load the data from the old computer onto the new computer by migrating it, and something happened, and it didn't work, and a lot of the data is why then you tell him to back it up first.
Well, idiots deserve what's carbonite is idiot proof.
You don't idiots he said idiots deserve what they get.
I keep hearing these stories where people lose computer data.
It's frustrating.
We have been telling people about carbonite here for I don't know how many months now.
There's no excuse.
There is no excuse anymore for those of you losing data on your computer.
You can back it up online.
It's automatic.
You don't even know what's happening, and it happens every time your computer is connected to the internet.
Carbonite.com.
It is so simple and easy, and your hard drive, something's gonna happen to it.
The cat is gonna pee on the computer, the dog, something's gonna happen to it someday.
Carbonite.com, offer code rush.
Uh I think it's a there's where is this?
A phone number.
Yes, uh uh.

Online business, everything's on this.
Go to Carbonite.com and find out how to do it.
It's not expensive at all, and it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna save your life.
I am being inundated with e offer code rush.
That's didn't I say that?
I did too.
You people stop mess.
Yeah, I did stop messing with my mind.
You say I'm saying Monday when I said Thursday.
Right there, offer code rush.
Anyway, I'm being inundated with emails about our last caller, Jane Hepner from Bloomington, Indiana.
Uh And by the way, I'm also being inundated.
You didn't get the Kurt Warner story quite right.
I know.
I didn't have a whole lot of time.
It's a great inspirational story.
The fact of the matter is, the essence of the story was right.
There was no attempt to get it.
You know, the the the links people go to keep me accurate when you vote for the wrong people.
I cannot, some of you.
Some of you have no right to tell me I made a mistake.
Anyway, I'm being inundated with emails about Jane Heppner.
Who called from Bloomington, Indiana?
She's the widow of Terry Heppner, who was the coach of Miami, Ohio.
And after his success there, he was hired at the University of Indiana and passed away at age 59 due to a brain tumor after getting a great start on rebuilding the program.
There are complications from a brain tumor.
And I'm getting do you rush, you do you do you really realize who you were just talking to?
Do you realize that was Jane Heppner?
I did.
I didn't.
I don't want to embarrass people, but here this is a this is a this funny little email is something like Jane Heppner, and it's from a guy named Zach Speer.
He said that was the wife of the late Terry Heppner, right?
Even though I'm a Northwestern guy, the fact that she called into you makes me like Indiana football a little better.
Even though they beat us this year and cost us our tenth win.
I'm being inundated with emails of the people I people cannot believe I spoke to Jane Heppner.
Rush, you lucky dog.
