Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
No, and I I don't think they even asked for it.
They didn't even ask for it back.
He just saw it sitting there in the Oval Office.
So, what the hell's this?
And somebody said, Well, that's a statue of Winston Churchill.
Churchill.
Why is that here?
Well, the Brits gave it to George Bush after 9-11.
Well, get it out of here.
Well, do you want to put it someplace else in the White?
No, get it out of here.
And so Bama sent it back to the Brits, and it's over there in the British embassy in Washington.
Great.
I'm not kidding you.
He walks in the Oval Office, he sees the Churchill statue.
The British gave it to George W. Bush after 9-11.
He didn't even ask.
They didn't even ask for it back.
He just he just decided he didn't want the statue of Churchill plaguing him as he saw it every day in the Oval Office.
Hiya, folks, great to have you here.
It's Rush Lindbaugh, a brand new week.
Broadcast Excellence 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
What was the refrain from Friday and Saturday and Sunday?
What was the refrain all weekend long?
Obama won.
Obama won.
This uh so-called stimulus bill, of course, has little to do with stimulating the economy and everything to do with stimulating the Obama presidency.
What'd this thing cost?
789 billion that's projected to run out to over three trillion.
Doesn't matter what it costs.
Could it cost two trillion?
Could have cost five trillion, even ten trillion, the cost would have made no difference.
Storyline was not about costs, the storyline not about results.
It was about President Obama's first test.
Would he get his way?
How many Republicans would support him?
Analysis of the contents, forget it.
Synthesis of the comments, forget it, no way.
And it gets even worse.
Nobody read it.
Nobody read it before they voted for it.
Not one senator, not one representative, not one journalist, no one read it before they voted for it.
The very people.
Get this.
The very people who said the housing crisis was because borrowers didn't read their mortgage terms.
What do you mean you don't understand ARM?
What is it about ARM you didn't understand?
Well, uh, you never pointed out to me that uh that it was into mortgage.
Well, it stands right.
We did tell you about it.
We told you to read it.
Adjustable rate mortgage means the rate can adjust.
Means they go, well, nobody ever told me that.
You're just the predatory lending once.
That's the same people.
Very people who said the housing crisis was because borrowers didn't read their mortgage terms now tell us they didn't read the porculus bill before they voted for it.
By the way, Rasmussen with a survey out, 38% of the people support the porcupist bill.
The polling on this is so all over the ballpark.
38% I saw before it was passed, something like 62 to 69% were for it.
I don't remember what poll.
Now, Rasmussen, the 38% say it'll work.
That means 58% don't.
There's some undecided in there.
They uh even came up, these people came up with the uh with the phrase predatory lenders.
But I'll tell you the more accurate term is predatory spenders.
Predatory spenders, and I was watching MSNBC just a moment ago and they had a discussion on the following topic.
Can Obama save your home?
When you hear the sound bites coming up on this, there's already friction between the White House and the banking queen, Barney Frank, over the amount of money that's going to be spent to uh help people pay their mortgages.
Uh the the administration saying, well, wait a minute now, the uh the the some of the restrictions that came out of this bill, we're gonna change those after the fact.
And Barney Frank said, Oh, for my dead body, you're gonna change this stuff.
Those sound bites uh are coming up.
Sit tight, hang tough.
Lots of stuff to do today, folks.
It's an amazingly active news day.
Uh, despite the fact the president's on the third day of a vacation.
This guy's taking more vacations than um than I have.
That goes to now, and by the way, you know it's gonna work.
He went to Chicago for a Valentine's Day date and dinner at Table 52 at some big restaurant with his uh with his wife.
Means that Michelle Obama calls the shots here.
That's the one thing it means.
Michelle Obama calls it.
We know she gets angry.
We know she gets enraged.
She called the shots here.
Had to go home no matter what was going on.
Stimulus bill still hadn't been signed.
It's going to be a catastrophe.
If that what day did it pass?
The days it Friday, right?
Government was going to end on Saturday.
Remember, if Pelosi had to get to Rome by Friday night.
It was going to be a catastrophe.
It had to be signed.
Had to be done.
Still hasn't been signed.
And Obama is, he's headed back to Washington today from Chicago.
Then he's flying to Denver tomorrow.
I would think he'd just stay in Chicago and go to Denver from there and save a lot of fuel.
And save a lot of carbon footprint.
Flying back to Washington, he's going to fly to Denver.
He's going to sign the stimulus bill in Denver.
He's going to head to Phoenix and save people's homes.
And it's a beautiful thing, folks.
It's absolutely wonderful.
They're arguing over 50 billion or 100 billion to pay your mortgage.
Well, not yours.
You probably paying yours.
You don't count.
You don't qualify.
There's a uh, you know, I you can't sue members of Congress, but a dereliction of duty lawsuit would be cool.
Every Congressman has to swear under oath that he did or did not read the bill before voting for it.
I mean, we're talking tr.
We are talking trillions of dollars here and a total reordering of the uh American culture politically and socially.
Trillion dollars.
You know, during the Roaring Twenties, I wasn't alive then, but I know a lot of people who were.
During the roaring twenties, there was a notorious nightclub hostess called Texas Lil Gwinnan.
And when people showed up in a nightclub that she hosted, she greeted them by saying, hello, suckers.
Well, let me update it to Hello Suckers.
We were told that we were so near economic collapse.
Congress had to approve the bill before they read it.
Friday, or there might not even be a Saturday.
Congress passed it on Friday.
Obama signed it Friday night?
No.
Did he save the economy from collapse on Saturday?
No.
Uh we're talking collapse here for heaven's sake.
Did he sign it on Sunday and save America on Sunday?
No.
How about today?
President, no.
Do you realize presidents can sign bills anywhere at any time?
It's not as though the bill has to be FedEx to Denver.
And there might be weather delays from over the weekend.
I mean, we're talking collapse here.
We're talking catastrophe.
And the bill's still not signed.
You see, crisis and collapse were words, just words.
The stimulus scheme that had to be voted on Friday will not be signed until tomorrow, so hello, suckers.
Yet even after the passage, even after the passage, the storyline remains.
Obama won.
The Republicans didn't support him.
Nobody's asking, did America win?
Because the drive-by's are equating Obama's success with America's success.
The reason nobody's asking did America win is because they know the answer.
America did not win.
Americans will be paying the price for years, if not decades to come.
And in fact, uh ladies and gentlemen from Reuters, President Barack Obama's aides warned Americans on Sunday not to expect instant miracles from the Messiah uh uh the stimulus bill that he will sign tomorrow.
They said it will help eventually.
By the way, Obama has said that things are gonna get worse even after, even after he has signed this.
He said, even if we get the bill, which he's gonna sign Tuesday, that it's gonna get worse.
There'll be signs of activity very quickly, David Axelrod said on Fox News Sunday, but it's gonna take time for that to show up in the statistics.
The president has said it's likely to get worse before it gets better.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, the brightest and most intelligent, most articulate, best press spokesman in the history of the White House, used similar language on slay the nation on CBS.
I don't think there's any doubt that we've seen this economy has gotten worse just in the last few months.
Yeah, Dow Jones down 2,000 points since your guy was elected, Bob.
The acceleration in job loss probably means this economy is gonna get worse before it gets better.
I think I've got the explanation for all of this.
Little known story out there, the UK Daily Mail, I found it.
Alien life may be all around us or even in us, says Professor.
I for this explains it all.
This explains every Remember that do you remember the movie Men in Black?
Remember that they, in fact, you know, one of the things I regret most.
Nah, don't regret it most, but I do regret this.
Producers of that movie called the office and said, could could we use five seconds of video tape from you on TV monitors showing you as one of the aliens that have come from outer space.
They used Newt, they used, and they they had Clinton up there.
They had just a whole bunch of.
And uh uh for some reason I don't remember why we said no.
So this guy is saying essentially that's what's happened.
Billions of Earths in our galaxy, meaning billions of places life could exist similar to us or entirely different.
This scientist, this this professor, a cosmologist, Paul Davies, said it was entirely reasonable to believe that we share the planet with a form of life different to anything we know of.
This life, but not as we know it, might be lurking in poisonous lakes, deep under the sea, could even be inside our bodies.
Professor Davies said it could be right under our noses or even in our noses.
It could even be that weird life and real life are intermingled.
If you think an alien is in your nose, try Zycam.
If it stops, if it stops the common cold, it'll kill an alien lurking in your nose.
This guy, dead serious story.
Calling on scientists to launch a mission to Earth, he said it was possible that life had evolved more than once, meaning we are not alone on our planet.
A letter to the editor of the Reading Eagle newspaper.
Headline Limbaugh likened to cult leaders.
Dear editor, there was a time when Rush Limbaugh was interesting and informative, and I got some good information and different views to think about in the news.
Those days are gone.
I compare limbo of today to some of the cult leaders in our society, Jim Jones, David Caresh, and Warren Jeffs.
Limbaugh's acting like an absolute ruler who uses manipulative methods to control the minds of his followers.
Man, if that were only true, that has been my objective, by the way.
This woman is Susan Miller.
Susan, you're on to something here.
I've I have sought absolute ruler status.
You know, I'm not retiring till every American agrees with me.
That would be absolute power, and I'm still on track for that.
But if it were true, Susan, Obama would never have been elected, much less nominated, because of course I ran Operation Chaos in order to create chaos and prolong the Democrat primary system.
Uh Ms. Miller returns to the letter.
The information Limbaugh spewed has great power and influence on the minds of you, or those, she says, who are unable to think for themselves.
I don't know if she's talking about me or Obama.
I think she's given an accurate description of your typical Obama voter.
Those who are unable to think for themselves.
And then, of course, the obligatory clause from Susan Miller of Spring Township.
I'm a registered Republican, but I am sick and tired of listening to Limbaugh's ranting and raving about the new president.
He stoops pretty low many times.
He thinks nothing of insulting people, calling them pet names and making fun of people.
Tactics of the classroom bully.
Yes, this is so true, Susan, that the entire federal government is gearing up to put me out of business.
The entire Fed You are the latest Henry Waxman's looking into it now, Mr. Snerdley.
And as I have predicted, they're going to go about this at the FCC, and they're going to go about this with regulatory restrictions on local ownership, station ownership programming, and I'm going to call it the Fairness Doctrine.
So you got Clinton, you got Hinshe.
I mean, every day there's somebody new weighing in on it.
Harkin in there, and now the Gibbs, or maybe it was Axarod, one of the two in the Obama administration was asked about this reason.
They backed off.
You know, Obama had previously said, I'm not interested in the fairness doctrine.
They backed off of that now.
Because as who was it?
Ed Morrissey over at HotAir.com.
He's, you know, every Obama statement has an expiration date.
That's a great line.
Finally, uh, ladies and I saw this on Saturday, and I thought that it was a joke.
Because I turned out it's not a joke, but I thought this was a joke.
The headline, this is from the UK Daily Telegraph blog, which is why I thought it was a joke.
The headline is Hassan Chop.
And here's the open, the lead.
New York man Muzamil Hassan founded pro-Islam Station Bridges TV five years ago to combat the negative public image of Muslims.
He is currently under arrest for beheading his wife.
Have you heard about this this in Buffalo?
Have you heard about this?
Okay, now that's the lead after the headline, Hassan Shop.
I'm saying, boy, you people in Buffalo, after I read that you, you're gonna create some problems here if you're making jokes like this.
It's not a joke.
Okay, Hassan Shop, here's the lead.
Wait till you hear to caption a picture.
New York man Muzamul Hassan founded pro-Islam Station Bridges TV five years ago to combat the negative public image of Muslims.
He's currently under arrest for beheading his wife.
They've got a picture of the lovely couple standing in the control room of the guy's TV network, and the caption of picture, and I I kid you not, the couple in happier times before Hassan removed his wife's head.
Now, if you don't believe me, I'm gonna show this on a ditto cam.
Let me zoom in here.
That's the happy couple.
Now, I don't, you can't read the caption, it's white it out.
At least on my monitor, I can't read it.
But you must understand, folks, I have a monitor here that does show, does not show me anything at all what you see.
But let me can you read the words on the I can't.
It's white it out, right?
Well, you can see Hassan Chop there at the top.
It's a shame you can't read the caption.
But uh we'll you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna the blog is uh I'll send the link up to uh Coco at Rushlimbaugh.com so he can post this.
And I come to find out uh on Sunday it shows up on the Drudge Reports, it's and with a different story from the Buffalo News.
It's it's it's true.
Hasan Chop started a TV network five years ago to combat the negative public image of Muslims currently under arrest for beheading his wife.
And by the way, after he did it, he went to the cops to tell them he took them to the scene.
It's SOP in that culture in certain parts of the world.
The couple in happier times before Hassan removed his wife's head.
Ha, welcome back.
It's President's Day, and it's Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, executing a signed host duties flawlessly with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
How many times on this program, ladies and gentlemen, have I lectured accurately about exercise as related to weight loss?
And how many times have people argued with me, not just my own staff, but several of you have sent me caustic emails, have called me on the EIB network phone and uh discussed my stubbornness about this.
Yet I keep producing data that indicates without exception, exercise as a means of losing weight is irrelevant.
I even got now, a doctor said to me, Rush, you're right about this.
You're really right about it.
However, if you start an exercise regimen, and if you just do it every day, if you do, for example, if you just force yourself to get on the treadmill, start out 15 minutes a day, then move it up to 30.
Once you do it, once you got a week or two under your belt, you'll have such guilt over having that piece of pie that you won't do it Because it'll make all the stuff on a treadmill worthless.
He said, This is how exercise can help you eat less.
I said, Doc.
Exercising increases my appetite.
The first two or three days of strenuous exercise, it doesn't.
After that, the appetite becomes voracious.
And it's a never-ending cycle.
I have spoken often of the pitfalls of exercise based on the false promise.
In light of that, I'd like to add to my repertoire with this story from Charton, Ohio.
A woman has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide for exercising her 73-year-old husband to death in a swimming pool, repeatedly refusing to let him leave the water.
Surveillance video showed Christine Newton John, 41, pulling James Mason around the pool by his arms and legs, said Middlefield Ohio police chief Joseph Steeleck.
The chief said he counted 43 times in which the 41-year-old wife prevented her husband from leaving the water.
Mason rested his head on the side of the pool several times while gasping for breath.
The uh police chief said the video here is bone chilling.
The whole case is very sinister.
Mason, the 73-year-old husband of the 41-year-old Newton John had a heart attack on June the second after the extended swim session.
An officer who investigated previous complaints that Mason was being abused pursued the case because he suspected there was more to the death.
And there was.
I'll give you the rest of it after the break, but don't talk to me about exercise, especially when women...
Remember what Delilah did to Samson.
Okay, when we last were together, ladies and gentlemen, three and a half minutes ago, I was telling you about the story involving 41-year-old Christine Newton John, who exercised her 73-year-old husband, James Mason, to death.
Literal death in their swimming pool, dragging him around.
There's a video of this.
The cops have seen it, dragging him around there by his arms and legs, not letting him out of the pool until he assumed room temperature.
Now I know a lot of you are thinking, okay, what's the story?
73-year-old guy, 41-year-old woman, uh-uh-uh-uh uh.
This the the deceased James Mason, 73, was a longtime friend of his wife's family.
James Mason knew his wife as John the Landingham before John Villandingham had a Choppadic offamy operation and became a woman.
This happened in 1993.
And John the Landingham after the Chopidic off of me uh this is not this is not a an uh uh an adodictomy.
This is a Chabinak offamy.
And she he changed her name to uh to uh Christine Newton John in honor of the singer and star of the hit movie version of musical Greece.
They were married in 2006 in Kentucky, where people can change their gender on their birth certificate.
Did you know that about Kentucky?
You can change your gender on a birth.
I did not know that about Kentucky.
And from what's this from?
This is from the uh UK telegraph.
You know, journalism is so much better from the Brits these days.
It just is.
I it's just not just these oddball weirdo stories, just d day-to-day coverage of things happen in this country.
It's just so much better than the drive-by's here in the United States.
Headline, women less tolerant of each other than men are, study says.
Women less tolerant of each other than men are, according to a new study, which may explain why some women prefer to have a male boss.
I have always known this.
I've known this.
I have this has been a staple of my repertoire since the mid-80s, when I started doing talk radio.
And and it's you know, men never notice this because but my illustration is always this.
You have an attractive woman walking down the street, as in Roy Orbison, pretty woman.
And all the guy wants, please look at me, please notice me.
What is staring at, Does not notice all the other women in the store on the street staring daggers at this woman.
How dare she wear that in public?
How dare who does she think she is?
Known this as an expert on these kinds of things for many, many moons.
The research published in the U.S. Journal of Psychological Science found that women formed a negative view of their peers much quicker than men did.
The team from Emanuel College in Boston asked men and women's students, college students to rate their roommates under different scenarios when asked to judge how they would rate their roommates if they carried out a single fictional act of negative behavior after they had been otherwise completely trustworthy.
Women were far more likely to be critical of them.
Men on the other hand were much more tolerant, and that's because the men want sex.
We're talking college students here, and men have learned to be tolerant, put up with anything, say anything.
So at any rate, uh some of the lighthearted fare before we now get into the dead serious news stories having to do with the overall attack and assault on capitalism.
In the United States of America, led in part by this man, Barney Frank, the banking queen.
The EIB network and L. Rushboard.
She's about a mover.
Interesting bumper rotation selection following the banking queen, Barney Frank.
All right, we've got our first real public skirmish between the White House and Congress involving Barney Frank.
Barney Frank is basically telling Obama in this story to shove it.
The New York Times headline is White House wants to revise compensation part of stimulus, facing a stricter approach to limiting executive bonuses than it had favored.
The Obama administration wants to revise that part of the stimulus package even after it becomes law.
President Obama plans to sign the been through that.
Under the administration's proposal, compensation restrictions would apply only to banks that received exceptional assistance from the government.
Barney Frank wants compensation restrictions on every business his committee oversees.
And in fact, Chris Dodd, let me find this.
Chris Dodd has supported or proposed something that's just these two guys ought to be the ones before a committee answering questions.
Chris Dodd has proposed uh I want to get the formula.
It's a very short story.
And I thought, ah, yeah, here it is.
Uh here's this from the Wall Street Journal, and this is in the porculus bill.
Companies that, and this is what Obama wants to change, companies that have received federal bailout money cannot pay top earners a bonus equal to more than one-third of their total annual pay.
For example, an employee with one million dollars in salary could receive a bonus of no more than 500,000.
That figure equals one-third of the one and a half million total pay.
So they're going to limit compensation.
They're going to limit bonuses.
It's very strict in the porculus bill.
And Bob Gibbs was on the Face the Nation, Slay the Nation show with Bob Schiefer yesterday, and uh basically said, We're look, we're going to have to change that.
We're looking forward to working with Congress to institute some of these regulations that uh will ensure that taxpayer money isn't wasted, but we also have to make sure that it doesn't uh hurt regional, smaller and regional banks that want to participate in this program.
Let me just make sure I understand what you're saying here.
You're not saying you're going to try to modify this, are you?
Or are you?
Well, the the president's going to sign this bill in Denver, and those provisions are in this bill.
So he's going to enforce this.
He he's he's satisfied with this as it is now.
We will sign this bill into law on Tuesday.
Now, that's not quite what's in the newspapers today.
And I don't know who to believe.
The newspapers or Obama's spokesman.
Because Obama's statements have expiration dates on them.
But the administration is going to propose that compensation restrictions apply only to banks that receive exceptional assistance from the uh from the government.
Now here's what Barney Frank had to say.
Barney Frank was on uh uh same show, slay the nation's same host.
This is after Senator Shelby says he agrees with limiting the pay of executives that get government money uh money.
Barney says that doesn't go far enough.
Let me be very clear.
Uh Mr. Gibbs may uh not like it, but it's gonna be enforced.
I differ with Senator Shelby in one sense.
He said, well, only when they are getting the government money.
I think we need to try to prevent the situations where people come to us.
The way the compensation is structured for a lot of these companies, if they take a gamble and it pays off, the top people get a lot of money.
But if they take a gamble and it backfires, they don't lose any money.
We have got to make it illegal for them to have these one-way streets, which I think add to the incentive to take a necessary risk.
So Barney Frank wants this if the company loses money, the executives lose money.
They get paid less.
He wants to make that a federal regulation.
This is something that the White House doesn't want to do.
Uh, they want to change this and listen to what Barney Frank actually said, because he he he he he said, Mr. Gibbs may not like it, but it's going to be enforced.
And then he said this is not an option.
This is not frankly the Bush administration where they're going to issue a signing statement and refuse to enforce it.
So we have a skirmish here.
Now, I don't want to get caught up in the skirmish here between liberals.
Instead, I want to point out just how totally this restructures the whole system of American capitalism.
And this is just one element of it.
In the stimulus bill, the porculus bill gone is welfare reform.
There's also a provision in this bill, and I have a friend, I'm not going to say who.
I have a friend who's very high up in a city, a local city government in this country.
And this guy got an got an email from uh the the town grand PUBA, not the mayor, but the the person actually does all the work.
Say, can here are the details we got on the storm uh porculous bill, and we've never seen anything like this.
We don't really know what we're gonna have to do.
Basically, what this does, cities, states, municipalities are all gonna have to go to Washington to get their money now.
They're all gonna have to pass muster in Washington.
There is a provision in the porculus bill.
It's called provision two of some section of subsection of subsubsection.
And it says that governors, after the after after tomorrow, when Obama signs this, governors will have 45 days to request the funds.
Now, there's a governor, South Carolina, Mark Sanford, who doesn't want the money.
He doesn't want to be obligated by it.
He's gonna be forced to take it.
Because item number two allows essentially for unconstitutionality by the federal government to go to the legislature and take it on their own, whether the government request or the governor request it or not.
Now, one of the reasons they want this money is because they're getting rid of welfare reform.
Why they won't be in charge of the money.
Welfare reform, the work requirement is now gone.
States, and I've read it, it's right in the bill.
States will be eligible for even more money based on the number of new welfare cases.
They sign up.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
The timer place is closed.
The timer store is closed.
You mean we can't go out and get a simple timer because the timer store is I didn't even know whether there's such a thing as a timer store.
Never mind, never mind.
Never mind.
A commercial breaks over, I gotta go back to the program.
I know it's presence day.
Why are we here?
If everybody else is off, why are they I know I'm here.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Why are we all here?
Not one.
I would I never end up remembering.
I keep saying I'm gonna take President's Day off.
I always wake up on Monday, I forget it's President's Day.
I get screwed by having to show up in here on President's Day.
Actually, I'm glad I'm here because this is a great news day.
This is a fabulous stack of stuff.
The president's in a three-day vacation, but I'm here, folks.
And we got more Barney Frank news.
I'm sorry.
I just found another Frank story in there, so here's a theme song Banking Queen.
I never never heard of it.
The heck is a timer store anyway.
I have never heard of it.
Oh.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Let me.
Would you turn it down just a little bit?
No, I guess not.
All right.
Folks, do you realize?
Do you realize how you can bring it up?
I mean, not to totally take it away.
Do you realize how courageous it is of your host to play this song?
Barney Frank is the banking queen when his party is even as we speak conniving, not behind the scenes, but on the scene, to shut down this program and others marginally like it.
Boy, Rush, why are you taunting these?
I'm not taunting anybody.
I'm exercising my free press rights to free speech while they last.
I want to get as much out of the First Amendment as I can before it gets shredded, ladies and gentlemen.
All right.
Get rid of the music.
Here's the story.
Barney Frank said Sunday he doesn't think the $50 billion in tax dollars that the uh Obama administration intends to use to help people pay their mortgages will be enough.
Obama's going to Phoenix on Tuesday or Wednesday, Wednesday.
He's going to announce a program to save people's homes.
In fact, MSNBC's got a whole discussion topic.
Can Obama save your home?
Barney Frank said, I don't think it'll be enough, but in fairness, we won't know for a while.
But we can't kick people out of their houses.
If it 50 billion is not enough, we're coming back for more.
David Axelrod on Fox News suggested the 50 billion mortgage bailout could double to 100 billion dollars to bail out people who are unable to pay their mortgages.
That's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
Just it's just all right.
What an insult.
I just got an email from somebody who cannot stand the song Banking Queen.
Most of you like it.
One naysayer out there said, Rush, you've got to stop singing along with it.
I wasn't singing along with it.
I didn't.
I uttered not one musical note singing along with the banking queen.
Barney Frank.
