Time Text
Ha, how are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, fastest three hours in media.
It is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network at the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
As usual, I utilizing talent on loan from God.
Phone number 800-282-2882, email address lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I just saw something at redstate.com.
Here's the headline.
If you oppose Obamacare, even in casual conversation, the White House wants to know about it.
Jeff Emanuel put this up 145 this afternoon.
If you see anybody publicly opposing President Obama's plan to implement government-centric overhaul of the health care system, the White House wants you to report that person or person's ASAP here from the White House website.
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.
These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.
Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help.
If you get an email or you see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to Flag at Whitehouse.gov.
Emphasis in this was added.
So the White House is asking its supporters, these groupies that hang on their website.
If they get an email or hear anybody talking about fishy stuff, disinformation about the uh health care plan, send their name.
Send a copy of their email to the White House.
Now the problem with this claim of disinformation about health insurance reform control of personal finances to end of life care.
The problem you people at the White House have got to understand people have read the House of Representatives bill.
It's all in there.
None of this is being made up.
You know, I I I'm gonna tell you who this bunch reminds me of.
There's a there's a parallel going on in the world right now to this bunch that's running this country.
And the parallel is Iran.
They supposedly had a fair election.
The people of Iran didn't think it was fair.
They think it was a fraudulent election, and they started protesting in the streets.
They even the people of Iran, this was too much to swallow.
The mullahs were just putting one over.
They wanted a reform candidate to win.
They didn't dig any of this, they didn't think Ahmadini's dad was a legitimate winner.
They started protesting, and what was the result?
The government went out and started cracking heads, started putting people in jail.
Some people have died as a result of government treatment when they were in the in the protest, and now you've got the White House asking people, its groupies, to be informants.
Let me read this again from the White House website.
There's a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end-of-life care.
These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.
Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help.
If you get an email or you see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to Flag at Whitehouse.gov.
Well, I would hate to see what they're gonna get now at Flag at White House.
Let me spell this for you to make sure you get the address right.
It's f L A G at Whitehouse.gov.
I wonder what kind of emails they're going to get now.
They're looking for tattletales.
They're looking for snitches.
They're looking for informants.
They want their groupies to tadline you if you happen to be telling the truth about what's in the health care plan.
Now, the White House has as yet offered no explanation of what it is they plan to do with the tips from the informants that they hope to receive from citizen informers.
Uh Jake Tapper pointed out on his Twitter this morning the title of that post on the White House is a quote from John Adams' 1770 argument in defense of the soldiers in the Boston Massacre trials.
So this is akin.
This has happened before in human history.
Parents who uh minds weren't right.
Parents who were saying things against the regime.
Their children were supposed to inform on them.
And so now the Obama administration is genuinely legitimately asking for informants.
Man.
Now, back to the town hall meetings.
Something interesting going on out there as you, as you've heard Dick Turban and others say that these are all trumped up.
They're phony.
They're not genuine.
They're sponsored by and promoted by the evil insurance companies.
And these are just people that are agitators and don't even know what they're talking about.
They're just they're organized and they're driven in there and they're just designed to harass.
Now there's a term for this.
It's the opposite of grassroots, astroturf.
These town halls, they're claiming are not grassroots.
They are astroturfed.
Astroturfed is a plan, it's a it's a a mechanism invented by David Axlrod.
From uh a very approving business week, March 14th, 2008.
Story on Axelrod, the secret side of David Axelrod.
The Obama campaign's chief strategist is a master of astroturfing and has a second firm that shapes public opinion for corporations.
David Axlrod has long been known for his political magic.
Through his consultancy, the campaign veteran has advised a succession of Democrat candidates since 1985.
Now he's senior strategist for Obama's bid for the presidency, but on the down low, Axelrod moonlights in the private sector.
From the same address in Chicago's River North neighborhood, Axlrod operates a second business, ASK Public Strategies.
ASK Public Strategies discreetly plots strategy and advertising campaigns for corporate clients to tilt public opinion their way.
He and his partners consider virtually everything about ASK to be top secret, from its client roster and revenue to even the number of its employees, but customers and public records confirm that it has quarterbacked campaigns for the Chicago Children's Museum, Comed Cable Vision, and ATT.
Asks predilection for operating in the shadows, shows up at its work.
On behalf of Comed and Comcast, Axelrod's firm helped set up front organizations that were listed listed as sponsors of public issue ads.
Industry insiders call such practices astroturfing.
It's a reference to manufacturing grassroots support that doesn't really exist.
You create the image of grassroots supporters and organization you create it.
It's fake.
Alderman Brendan Riley of the 42nd Ward, who has been battling the children's museum relocations plans, describes ASK as the gold standard in Astroturf organizing.
It's an emerging industry.
Ask has made a name for itself in shaping public opinion and manufacturing public support.
Mr. Obama's top handler and speechwriter runs a company that's the gold standard of astroturfing.
And just to give you again a simple definition of astroturfing, manufacturing grassroots.
He invented it.
It's phony.
It is a fraud.
It is deceit.
It is the creation of dummy organizations that exist supposedly out of a genuine heartfelt interest for a cause or in opposition to a cause.
Whatever is necessary for Axelrod's client.
If Axelrod's client wants something to happen, Axorrod's company goes out and creates massive astroturfed organizations that are fraud.
They may look real, but they're not people who genuinely care about the issue.
They're just made to look that way.
On television.
Rid a mob, if you would like to look at it in another way.
Astroturfing.
This is not to be confused, however, with the genuine astroturf Bill Clinton bragged about having in the in the flatbed of his El Camino.
Not El Camino.
Yeah, it was an El Camino, wasn't it?
El Camino truck.
Yeah.
He bragged about it.
There's only one reason they had it in there, and it wasn't for the luggage.
So once again, the Libs accuse us of doing what they invent and do every day.
The problem is there's no astroturfing going on here.
These are genuine grassroots organizations or people who are genuinely opposed to the fraud and the deceit that is literally being jammed down everybody's throats.
Something they do not want.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
This poor guide's been on hold since before the show star.
Well, and that's not since the show started.
Two hours and twenty minutes.
Witch Talk Hans is Tom, thanks for your patience.
Great to have you with us.
Hello.
Thank you very much, Rosh, for letting me be on your show.
Um I guess my point, I just want to go right into it.
I don't want to waste your time.
My point is I was I was in the military in the early 80s, um, served eight years, uh part of that with the 82nd Airborne.
Um I got out because the economy had turned around and there were some pretty good jobs out there in the civilian market.
Back in February, um I got laid off.
I've been on unemployment ever since.
I'm married, I have two children, and I'm I'm actually getting ready to go back into the Army at 43 years old.
And I'm just my main concern is this administration is rushing so many things down the pike that they're they're forgetting about the basic need for employment.
With without anything without employment, we can't spend any money.
And I'm just I you know, I I guess I just wanted to let you know that, let your listeners know that as an average American, I mean, I'm just I'm average.
I'm scared to death.
There are uh nine and a half to ten percent of the uh working population or work able population in your shoes.
And I if I were you, I would be livid.
This administration not only is not focusing on jobs in the economy at the expense of health care, it is doing everything it can to prevent this economy from rebounding.
I don't care who you voted for.
It doesn't matter to me who you voted for, I would be livid when you look at these economic policies.
All of this stimulus that was supposed to create all these jobs, shovel ready projects, infrastructure.
Exactly.
There's none of that going on, and most of the stimulus money doesn't get starts spent uh I did a little bit of research, just the minimum amount of research, and looked at some of the numbers.
I went on to the the administration website in the state of Kansas.
There was less than one third of one percent of the bailout money spent on shovel ready projects.
Yeah, you know where it's gone?
Most of it's gone to state governments to help with their deficits.
But in the meantime, I'm I'm unemployed.
Um I'm on unemployment, it's getting ready to run out, and I'm scared to death.
I I I'm thank goodness I'm very blessed that my wife is a is a strong working woman.
But you want to work.
I do you want to work, you don't want to sit around.
No, Russia, I have no, and and I gotta say, the the only good thing that has come out of this, the only good thing that has come out of this, is I've had the opportunity to spend the summer with my children.
That is it.
We've had to cut back on every single aspect of our life.
I mean, the the next thing to go is the cable.
And then after that, we're into the red zone.
I mean, we're cutting essentials, food, you know, laundry, clothing, shoes.
We're gonna start cutting that once unemployment runs out.
This is why, folks, I get so agitated when talking about the policies of this administration.
Because The circumstances that you are in, Tom, are shared by millions.
Two million Americans since this man took office have lost their jobs.
Okay, and I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
I'm not a whiner.
I am I'm an able-bodied, you know, young man.
I I consider myself at 43 a young man that has many more years of work left, but I had actually uh I've sent out over a hundred resumes.
I've had one call back.
Well, nobody look at businesses are in the same situation you are, but in a different perspective.
They're just trying to survive their absolutely hiring anybody.
There's no expansion going on out there.
There's no economic activity that's on the plus side.
Uh there are pockets of it, certain businesses, you know, Apple's doing well and so forth.
But uh unemployment is way up, probably much higher than nine and a half percent when you get into the people of not even given up.
Trying to find yeah, work anymore.
So I don't I didn't hear you as whining.
I hear you as mad.
Yeah, uh you know, and I worked in a company, I worked for a company that actually had a green product.
But the here's the problem.
It was an energy saving product.
Not an energy using or new energy technology, but energy savings.
And you can't control that.
If they're not using energy, you can't control what they're not using.
And so there was no help.
I mean, I actually emailed the administration, I want to say five or six times.
And I even made the comment in my email that with help just enforcing the rules and regulations that currently exist.
Our company would boom.
And I actually used the word boom trying to get notice, trying to get it flagged in the email system.
Well, Obama's only reading mail uh from people who are sick and want his health care plan right now, and that's why we gotta do it so fast.
Well, and here's the kicker.
My wife works for a major state, you know, U.S. based courier company.
Um, and we have great health care through her.
I mean, the best health care.
We pay a twenty dollar every time if we go to the doctor, it's not for long.
You there?
Nah, obviously you have it, but not for long.
Well, I know, and that's the thing.
If I join now, here here's I was just thinking about the scenario.
If I was to join the military and she was to take me off of her health care plan, she changed that at that point, she changed her health care plan, so then she is no longer eligible according to these new rules, she will no longer be eligible for the insurance provided by the company she works for.
Right.
She'll have to go public option.
Have to.
Because she changed it.
Yep.
Obama's out there denying that, by the way.
He's uh Well, look, I I I don't I don't I don't hear you as uh uh as being a whiner at all.
Um you're a little embarrassed, actually.
You don't you don't want to be on unemployment.
Uh you've you've you're my wife and I have had this conversation, and and m one of the biggest things, and and she recognizes and she sees it, my self-esteem is right now at its lowest that I've ever had it.
I can't provide you know, I am I'm almost I'm getting choked up right now talking about this.
I know I've been there.
I can't I can't provide for my family, Rush.
Under the current system, the things that all these changes and this hope that we had, and now I can't even provide for my family.
Is that working?
Is that is that making our country better?
And like I said, it scares me to death.
My dad died.
My dad was not died, my dad was killed in Vietnam.
And I'm getting ready to go to Afghanistan with that thought in my mind that I was orphaned, and now there's a possibility I could orphan my children.
You know something, you know, you sit there, you talk about your self-esteem, but um you're doing what you have to do.
Exactly.
You have to say that's what I told my wife.
We have to do what we have to do.
You've explored options.
You've sent out a hundred resumes.
Over a hundred.
Um the one job that I got called back for.
What?
They called back twenty-five people, and they were paying twelve fifty an hour.
They've got over a hundred resumes.
They got over a hundred responses.
They interviewed twenty-five people, and then when I walked in, the guy told me, he says, I just want to let you know right off the bat.
I mean, because I came in there dressed for an interview.
Uh suit, Tie, my briefcase, my notebook laptop.
I was ready to go.
I mean, I was I was there to prevent present my portfolio to show my work history, and the first thing this guy tells me is We're only paying 1250 an hour.
Well, 12, 1250, something like that.
I can't I can't even literally, I can't even leave the house for a price like that.
It just I don't know, Rush.
I just I I thank you so much for taking my call.
And I just again I don't want to come across as uh a whiner or somebody who's asking for sympathy, because I'm not.
I'm just venting my frustration and and hopefully other listeners, maybe I mean, I because I know the left listens to your radio program.
It's obviously listen to it, but I'm hoping that somebody out there, this will resonate with them.
And you know, we can maybe hear an audible pop as they pull their head out of their butt.
And and realize that we need to stimulate this economy not by the ta taxing people, but by I mean, use a proven method.
Reduce games tax.
If they were going to do that, Tom, they would have done it by now.
It is not their intention.
That's what makes me livid about this.
Um, these Democrats that are all upset about these town hall meetings taking place out there.
They have, like I said, they have no clue, the feeling that is bubbling up.
The public is becoming increasingly active about their uh uh uh own futures and anxious about their own futures.
And all you get is contempt from the people in Washington.
When the economy was roaring, they wanted you to feel this way about the Bush economy.
When the economy was roaring, they tried to make you think we're in a recession.
Now we're in one, they've given it to us, and they don't care.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, cutting edge societal evolution meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
I want to go back to our archives, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh let's sound like 26 here, Mike.
Let's do that first before 24-25.
Sound like 26 uh archives, the grooveyard of forgotten favorites.
April 28th, 2003.
Hillary Clinton.
I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with that administration.
It still hurts my deaf ears.
Listening to that.
But that's just how things change.
Now the Obama White House is asking informants to send them the names of people who are being critical of the Obama health care reform plan, dingy Harry, moments ago.
Obama had a Democrats over for lunch today, gave a Newt Rockney like pep talk.
Go to the town halls, go out there, his and lie, lie, lie.
You know, Newt Rotney was fight, fight, fight.
We're gonna fight, men fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
We're never gonna get up.
Well, Obama, it was lie, lie, lie, keep it up, lie, left, force it down our throat, force it down their throat, lie, lie, lie, push them back, push them back harder, lie to them.
Dingy Harry with a report on the lunch.
In spite of the loud, shrill voices trying to interrupt town hall meetings and just throw a monkey wrench into everything.
We're gonna continue to be positive and work hard.
There was a lot of experience in that room, and we had someone who is leading us that we all admire so very, very much.
The president didn't get one standing ovation, but several of them.
He was really kind of reminded me of the days when I was an athlete, and the coach was giving you a pep talk before the game.
You came out of that pep talk that the coach gave you ready to take on the world.
We're ready to take on the world.
You know the way I look at pep talks.
If you're professional.
They go to the National Football League.
There aren't a whole lot of pep talks.
If a prof especially in a championship game, a Super Bowl or uh or the playoffs, the coaches, and if they're not if these professionals aren't motivated to play on the basis that it's time to win, if they gotta be pep talked, Something's wrong in the first place.
So something's wrong.
There is panic in the White House.
It's falling apart, it's unraveling on them.
Obama goes up and gets standing ovations from Democrats.
I want to share with you what ABC's The Note wrote about this launch this morning.
And maybe it's snarky as it can be.
Let's bring everybody together in one place, since that works so well for streamlined messaging out of the cabinet over the weekend on tax cuts.
It's leadership time for President Obama and his White House.
And now that we have not one but two Clintons unleashed to work on foreign policy hotspots, good luck breaking through in this news environment.
Obama celebrates his birthday today by bringing the Senate Democratic caucus to the White House for lunch to deliver a message everybody in the room knows all too well failure is not an option on health care.
It's time for some of that trademark Obama cool in the service of a party that needs a pep talk.
And you know you've always wanted to hear Jeff Bingham and Barbara Boxer sing happy birthday.
I mean, this is snarky as this is state controlled ABC.
And state controlled ABC is fed up.
They're mad at how they're botching this.
Listen to this.
The photo ops may help public perceptions and private morale heading into the August recess.
But it's the action outside the White House that continues to royal the Democrat Party during this critical stage of the legislative push.
There are currently four Democrat health care bills to defend.
The Senate is stalled until a fifth can be completed.
Liberal groups are aiming their fire at Democrats now, their patients having run out.
As for the town halls, intended to drum up support.
Everybody from Arvin Spector to Kathleen Sebelius to Lloyd Doggett are getting heckled and booed out there.
ABC's The Note.
Not happy.
Here's what the New York Times had to say.
The conservative groups, including FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, are harnessing social networking websites to organize their supporters in much the same way Mr. Obama did during his election campaign.
Oh, like Acorn.
But we're not allowed to.
These these are these are these are unruly mobs, you see.
So they're not they're not happy over at ABC with the way this is all Oh, by the way, Obama went to the press room to celebrate Helen Thomas' birthday today.
Helen Thomas and Obama have the same birthday.
Obama Senate Helen wished for health care reform.
Uh Helen, you're 89.
Be careful what you're wishing for here.
Here is the soundbite.
Obama went over there, and here's what he said.
Helen uh wish for wealth peace, no, no prejudice.
But she and I also had a common birthday wish.
She said she hopes for a real health care reform bill.
I will uh leave it up to you, Alan, how you want to distribute the cupcake.
Well, we we we sped that up.
Let me let me translate that for you.
Helen wished for world peace, no prejudice.
She and I also had a common birthday wish.
She said she hopes for a real health care reform bill.
I'll leave it up to you, Helen how you want to distribute the cupcakes.
What is it with this administration of cupcakes?
Now Helen Thomas is 89 years old.
I don't think Helen Thomas has one thing to complain about regarding our health care.
Do you?
Helen Thomas is 89 years old.
If Obama health care passes, Helen Thomas is soon to be put out to pasture at statist farm.
First time she gets sick, it's going to be judged not worth it.
All right, Mary in Fort Worth, Texas.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
I just wanted to say in some way, we should be, we conservatives should be glad that they started shoving this health bill down our throat this quickly.
Because what they have done, as you have pointed out, much to their chagrin, is they have American people are starting to wake up.
They're they're reading this bill, they're seeing it for what it really is, and they're letting that letting our officials know we're not happy.
And we need to remember that this is still a government of the people, by the people, and for the people until they take that right away from us.
And they're showing more and more in what they're putting in this bill and others that they've passed, what their intent is.
Obama's lying about what's in it.
Absolutely.
They're all all these members of Congress are lying about what's in it.
Well, Ellison did say in Minneapolis last Saturday that he does support the end of life stuff in there because um, you know, it's it's we gotta start talking about how you die because that's when you spend most of your health care money.
Right.
We're gonna add, we're gonna insure 50 million more people, right?
Supposedly.
Suppose supposedly.
Yeah.
But we're not gonna have any more doctors.
Well, somebody tell me how in the hell people are going to get covered.
The only way you can insure 50 million more people and not add any more doctors is to make sure certain people die and the right the right people dying will also save us some social security money.
Exactly.
And they've made this perfectly clear, but it's by it's backfiring because the American people are realizing we are gonna have to go out there.
Town hall meetings, whatever it takes and take our government back.
They don't have this power if we don't give it to them.
Well, the key here, uh, again, as I mentioned at the beginning of the program, uh, is that there's something boiling over right now.
You're right.
It is genuinely boiling over.
The issue is whether it lasts.
You know, it's tough for people to maintain a peak emotional level for a long time.
And the strategy is is just to just to wait people out.
They'll eventually give up.
They'll eventually just they'll tire.
They won't have the reservoir of emotion left.
So the key here is how long can this last?
Can it last through the recess and then into the fall?
Uh it did last with the amnesty bill.
Well, and the other key is, I believe, whether they're going to listen.
It's very obvious we all know they can pass this bill without a single Republican vote.
Yeah, they're not losing.
I mean, we absolutely they can pass we have some of the Democrats are gonna have to vote against it.
So are these Democrats that are moderate or middle of the row, blue uh blue dogs, whatever you whatever they are, are they going to listen to the constituency that elects them to go back to Washington?
Are they gonna listen to Washington?
And if they listen to Washington instead of the people, that shows how close to socialism we really are.
Well, they'll lose.
Some of them, some of them will lose in 2010.
I just hope they haven't done too much damage before then.
Because the bad thing about this health care plan that people don't realize is I I need some of my friends have said, oh, well, if we don't like it, they won't be in office in in four years.
We can go back.
No, we can't.
Once the infrastructure is destroyed and this massive machine is put in motion, there will be no turning back.
There will be none.
Well, not quite I understand what you're saying.
It would be difficult to do, and the stars would have to align perfectly for it to happen.
Uh i it but rolling rolling health care back would uh that's why Mona Cheron and a column called it ball game.
Ball game for the country, game over.
Because it would be diplomat.
I'm enough of an optimist to think that something that bad, this bad, will not be tolerated by people at some point.
Once they uh I do uh uh uh no no no no no, sturdy, that's different.
The Medicare and Medicaid and so forth.
Uh you can't you can't wait until every American's affected by this.
Wait until everyone that when we tolerate Medicaid, we tolerate paying for it.
We tolerate because we're a compassionate people.
Wait till it screws our lives up.
Wait till that happens.
It's uh uh it's we're gonna find out.
She's right.
We're gonna find out if the United States of America is still the United States of America.
That's really what we're gonna find out.
We'll be back in just a second.
An interesting dispatch here from state-controlled media, A.P. guard troops, National Guard troops may be needed in that Alabama County that's gonna shut down.
Uh the sheriff in Alabama's most populous county may call for the National Guard to help maintain order after a judge cleared the way for cuts in the sheriff's budget and hopes dimmed for a quick end to a budget crisis.
Obama's America.
The National Guard called out to protect a county government going bankrupt.
Uh, you think you think Obama's stimulus money got to Alabama?
Ha.
You think Alabama's been voting Democrat for how long?
Isn't that where Jeff Session is from?
I don't think they got a whole lot of stimulus money.
Well, the states I think they were all required to take it.
Remember, uh remember before we went down to see the girl from Epanema.
Uh Mark uh Mark Sanford didn't want the money.
All right, this is funny.
We'll get one more call in here.
But first, Ray Lahood, transportation secretary, former Republican member of Congress, Illinois, was with Andrea Mitchell.
And uh he's talking about cash for clunkers.
This is good for America, Andrea.
It's good for car buyers, it's good for Americans, it's good for American workers.
It's a wildly popular program.
People that make automobiles are very happy.
People that sell automobiles are for the first time in a long time uh able to make a living.
And uh it's a program that where 80% of the vehicles being traded in are trucks or SUVs.
These are gas guzzlers.
Look at we're helping the climate and we're helping uh the economy.
That's key here.
Eighty percent of vehicles being traded in or trucks or SUVs.
There's a gas guzzlers.
Look at we're helping.
We're helping the climate, we're helping the economy.
We're getting rid of these crappy cars.
Then later with Chris Matthews in the same network.
Matthews, how about if I give you $30,000?
What's the best car to get out there?
I have my eye on a Explorer four-wheel drive, uh, but I have a 97 Buick Regal that doesn't qualify for the program.
I may still buy the Explorer.
I've I've been talking to a dealer back in Peoria about this, but I would buy a Ford Explorer.
It's an SUV.
He just got through trashing SUVs.
It said it's a great thing that people are getting rid of these bloated SUVs, gas guzzlers is great for the environment.
And he's asked by Matthews what kind of car he would a Ford Explorer.
That's not even loyal to Obama.
Obama doesn't own Ford yet.
Obama owns Chrysler and GM.
All right, Bert in Fort Myers, Florida.
Nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, thanks for taking my rush call.
I want to thank you for an excellent show.
This is a good example of why you do so well.
Anyone can have a show about what they want to talk about.
But putting on the uh Dr. Laffer, astroturfing, and the comments about don't worry about the details, that's what's cool.
You pick the right stuff for today.
Well, I wanted to talk about with astroturfing.
What's cool about that is whenever I hear the Democrats and the Liberals complaining about stuff, it's always about their perspective.
They're the ones that created astroturfing.
So when they complain about other people showing up at these community events and they must have been staged, that's not what happened.
But they jumped to that conclusion because that's the way they handle that stuff.
That's because they they think we're like they are.
They think everybody's as duplicitous and deceptive as they are.
They think everybody is as snarky and as schemy as they are.
They think everybody is as trashy and lying and misrepresenting and uh all that as they are.
Without a doubt.
And when all those people were complaining about, well, it didn't matter that uh President Obama was in that church for that time.
To them, being in a church is a thing of convenience.
It's all show.
But to people of faith, one of the most important people to the things to them is who is the pastor and what's the message?
Well, I understand the point you're making.
But Obama was not in that church as a matter of convenience.
Absolutely.
He was in that church to establish some cred, but he was in that church because he liked the message.
Black socialism, black liberation theology.
Thanks for taking my call, Rush.
My pleasure, Bert.
You have a uh a wonderful day out there.
I have to take a brief time out here, folks, and wrap things up, but we will be back momentarily.
Private uh inside baseball note to the broadcast engineer.
I know I I just totally forgot.
We'll have to double or quadruple down the last three days of this week.
And that's it, folks.
Another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence uh because of the constraints of time coming to a screeching halt.
But actually, my friends, the program never ends.
We just take a break.
This one's 21 hours.
