Time Text
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity simply by showing up here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
All right, folks, I am going to say what everyone else is thinking.
And I know that you are thinking it because everybody's thinking it.
Did Bill Clinton hit on those two female journalists on the long flight home from North Korea?
I'm not, how can I say it?
I'm not saying he did, but given his past, it does cross one's mind.
I ran a little test.
I asked Snerdley.
I said, Snerdley, when you saw that airplane landing in Burbank this morning, what did you think?
He said, it did not hesitate a split second.
I wondered if Clinton is hitting on those two women.
Everybody was wondering.
Have you ever wondered why Democrat presidents have to send ex-Democrat presidents to resolve problems like this?
And the Norcs, by the way, the Norcs are saying that Clinton apologized in order to get the two journalists released.
I want to go back, and I want to play this montage that we played right before the end of the previous hour about the Democrat talking point now on the mob showing up at all of these town hall meetings.
Well-dressed, middle-class people in pinks and limes, the Brooks Brothers Brigade.
The last time I saw well-dressed people doing this was when Al Gore asked me to go down to Florida when they were recounting the ballots, and I was confronted with the same type of people.
Like that crowd of Republican staffers that showed up for Bush against Gore down in Florida.
It's the same kind of approach.
That Brooks Brothers riot from Florida 2000.
You know, Brooks Brothers, the sad fact is that if we let this administration get away with what it wants to get away with, all of us are going to be getting our clothes from Goodwill and the Salvation Army.
Nobody's going to be able to afford to go into Brooks Brothers except Michelle and Barack.
And by the way, speaking to Brooks Brothers, isn't it Michelle who got some sort of designer fashion award for this wardrobe that she has made popular?
I don't know who gave her the award, but she has.
And they're not Brooks Brothers Brigade when we're all headed for Goodwill and the Salvation Army?
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program, 1-800-282-2882.
I have two treatments here of the, let's see, one is state-run, let's see, state-run.
Come on, what?
Where's this?
Okay, one's CNN and one is Reuters.
The number of U.S. jobs lost in the private sector fell in July, but firms increased planned layoffs.
Data on Wednesday showed suggesting a labor market remained troubled even as the pace of job losses slowed.
Is this a comedy?
You know, I just had a sudden flash.
We need a new merchandise line at the EIB store at therushlimbaugh.com.
Mob clothes.
The mob wardrobe.
Mobwear.
Mobwear officially available.
You know, the problem is to do this, it'd take three weeks to get a design, get a prototype, and all that.
And that three weeks, it's not.
Yeah, but I'd like the official mobware to come from my website, you know, to go along with our thriving merchandise business at Club Gitmo.
Oh, well, I'll think about it.
The number of U.S. jobs lost in the private sector fell in July.
Firms increased planned layoffs, suggesting the labor market remained troubled even as the pace of job losses slowed.
This is a comedy.
This is an abject comedy.
This is journalistic malpractice.
These unemployment numbers are going to be worse, and they're higher than what is being reported because they don't count the people who have been unemployed a long time and have given up trying to find a job and are no longer getting unemployment compensation.
But we're supposed to sit here and say the pace of job losses slows in the same story that they tell us planned firings are up by what 31%.
That means employers are telling surveyors they plan to lay more people off down the road, but job losses are slowing.
Now, from CNNmoney.com and see, and of course, the recession is over.
The recession is over.
Economists surveyed by briefing.com had forecast a loss of 350,000 jobs last month.
Report says private sector jobs fell at the smallest monthly rate in nine months.
But separate surveys say planned reductions surged 31%.
And let's see, state-run AP.
The Senate has passed a $124 billion agriculture spending bill that pays to add millions of people to the food stamp rolls as rising numbers of the jobless are forced into the program.
If the recession's over, why this?
If we're in rescue mode, why this?
Oh, and money for the federal school lunch program is going up 12% as well, while a popular program that gives additional food aid for poor children and pregnant women gets a 9% increase.
As the nation's unemployment rate nears 10%, a record 34.4 million people, one in nine Americans, were participating in the food stamp program as of May.
That's an increase of 650,000 people from the previous month and up 6 million from the same time one year ago.
6 million more Americans are on food stamps today than one year ago, and we're being told a recession's over and the stimulus is working.
Again, they have to lie in order to pass their agenda.
The fourth highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives is said to be resting comfortably after heart valve replacement surgery today in Connecticut.
A spokesman says Congressman John Larson of Connecticut is expected to make a full recovery.
Larson is completing his sixth term in the House, serves as chairman of the House Democrat caucus.
So no pain pills for this guy, only the best medical care Congress can get.
Heart valve replacement.
No pain pills for him.
President Obama heads to Indiana today to tout the benefits of his stimulus plan amid signs the recession may be ending, says state-controlled Associated Press.
What benefits?
Food stamps?
Unemployment insurance extension?
What benefits?
Unease over the spending is one reason Obama's poll numbers on the economy have been sliding.
Vice President Biden and cabinet chiefs are also on the road today with a similar message, even as the administration braces for employment figures tomorrow that could see the jobless rate top 10%.
We get double-digit tipping point for double-digit unemployment is going to have a magic effect on polling.
And along the same lines, Vice President Biden says the Obama administration's stimulus program is meeting its goals in revving up the ailing economy.
Biden credited the stimulus program for the positive numbers.
What positive numbers said he can say without reservation the stimulus is working.
The vice president commented after meeting at the White House with members of the administration's economic team.
We'll see if your goals are being met as soon as tomorrow.
High unemployment must be the goal then, which exactly what I've been saying is the goal.
My friends, this is as bold and brash as I have ever in my life seen a politician or an administration lie.
We are in the throes of one of the worst economic periods in my lifetime.
I'm 58, maybe the worst.
And we're being told it's getting better.
All right, brief timeout.
We'll come back.
It's time to get some of your phone calls in when we get back.
So we'll do that.
Stay with us.
800-282-2882.
Your guiding light, Rush Limbaugh.
Don't doubt me.
Okay, to the phones.
We'll start in West Union, Illinois with Diane.
Thank you for calling.
Thanks for waiting.
Great to have you here.
Oh, great to talk to you.
I'm so angry.
I mean, I've been upset before about this, but now I'm just so angry about this commercial.
They are just portraying us as just mindless people working for insurance companies, lobbyists.
I mean, we are citizens expressing our rights.
Are we just supposed to sit idly by?
Are they probably to wait our parents to die?
They know what to do, know what's good for us?
You're supposed to get pad exactly what you're doing.
The people, the citizens, they need just to get up off their hands and express their opinion.
They are.
I mean, everybody.
They can't just sit there and say, well, it's all going to work out and then wonder why later on.
You know, every has got to punch the flag.
They're just against, you know, we just can't continue letting this administration get away with it.
They say he's going to go down as the most popular president, but he's also him, his administration, any governor, any senator that votes for this are going to go down as most despised people ever.
That's exactly right.
That's what I've been saying all morning or afternoon.
The Blue Dog Democrats have got a big decision to make here.
This is the kind of emotion that's out all over the country.
The president of the United States and his party are attacking the people who make this country work.
Grab audio soundbite number one.
Listen to the ad.
If you missed it, this is what she's talking about.
Audio soundbite number.
The right-wing extremist Republican base is back.
They lost the election.
They lost on the Recovery Act, the budget, and children's health care.
They've lost the confidence of the American people after eight years of failed policies that ruined our economy and cost millions of jobs.
Now, desperate Republicans and their well-funded allies are organizing angry mobs, just like they did during the election.
Their goal, destroy President Obama and stop the change Americans voted for overwhelmingly in November.
It will break him.
I hope he fails.
They have no plan for moving our country forward, so they've called out the mob.
The mob.
You are the mob.
The mob is tort lawyers and public sector union bosses who paid for that ad for the Democrat Party to be able to call you a mob, a mindless, brainless mob wearing Brooks brothers clothes.
Remember, they have to lie to you in order to have any hope of getting you to support their agenda.
The thing is, Obama's lobbying the wrong people.
Obama needs to be lobbying Democrats in Congress.
They're the only ones that can stop this.
And by doing what he's doing, he is arousing an opposition and a passion and a patriotism and an anger at him and his party.
He may very well be destroying a Democrat Party.
We'll know in not too long a time.
Jim in Chicago, great to have you, sir.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello, Rush.
Hi.
I wanted to talk about the, I wanted to compare Obama's leadership to Lec Valencia and Nelson Mandela.
They were two very popular activists in their countries.
People loved them like crazy, and eventually they became head of state, and they just didn't have the skills to do it.
And I think Obama's in the same mode as those two guys.
Well, give me the similarities between Obama and Mandela.
Well, I can't give you specifics, but just in a general rule, especially the main guy I know about, of course, is Obama, you know, living here with him.
He seems to be unable to wear the hat of the manager or the corporate person.
He can't relate to them as well as he relates to the activists.
I had experience as a chief union steward for a while, and I know that there were certain stewards on our committee who couldn't relate to the manager's needs and what they had to do.
That's an excellent point.
Obama cannot relate to an average person.
He has no clue.
He is above them.
He's an elitist.
He holds average people in contempt.
He looks at them as stupid and malleable.
He can make them do and think and believe anything he wants.
I have a question.
Will Obama and the DNC and will Pelosi and Will Reed and all Democrats be returning contributions to their PACs from insurance companies or contributions their campaigns receive from insurance executives and employees?
You know, we could find out.
I just saw a list of people that work at Brooks Brothers and who they donated to.
Very few Democrats.
It's interesting.
I'll bet you Brooks Brothers was chosen precisely because they don't have a whole lot of executives I could find anyway who have donated to Democrats.
Schumer got some money and Inspector, who is now a Democrat.
But if the insurance companies, these big demons are the Democrats, Obama, Pelosi, Reed, the whole party, going to have their political action committees return all the donations they've gotten from insurance companies and insurance company executives.
Of course they won't.
Jim, thanks for the call.
This Tom also in Chicago.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Love your show.
Thank you.
I was reading yesterday your recent Linbaugh letter, which is excellent, in your interview with, I think, Mr. Ledine.
And here you made the point that the Japanese attacking the United States was really the event that got us into the war and, in effect, saved the world, so to speak.
Right.
Isn't what's going on right now with the overreach by Obama and the left-wingers in Congress, isn't maybe this the attack on the economy that's going to wake us all up?
I think it's a combination of things that are going to wake us all up.
What he is talking, I talked to Michael Ledean, the interviewer for the current issue of the Limbaugh letter.
And, you know, we're talking about Iran and how are we going to stop Iran?
What's going to happen to stop Iran?
We're just, the news is, and I haven't even talked about this last couple days because we're trying to save our economy and country right now on the domestic side.
But the chief mullah, the chief Ayatollah, Ayatollah Khomeini, apparently they're just waiting for the word from him to go nuke up.
And then we had the U.S. intelligence report, this thing that people put out, not from the White House, it's prepared for the president, that said back in 2006, I think it was, or maybe 2007, that there was no nuclear program.
But it was made out like Bush was lying about that again, and Cheney was lying about it.
It turns out that's not true, of course.
So Ladine was saying, I was asking him, what's going to stop this?
Are we going to have to get engaged military?
He said, no, we don't move until we have to, Rush.
It's a history of the United States.
And he said, what got us into World War II?
It wasn't what Hitler did.
If it was just contained in Hitler, we probably wouldn't have done anything.
But when the Japanese attacked us, we had no choice, and then we had to get involved everywhere.
So I said, well, what's the equivalent of that vis-a-vis Iran?
He said, I don't know.
We're just going to have to wait and see.
But he was saying he was not confident that there's anybody in this country with the courage to do anything to stop them from becoming a nuclear power.
So the analogy, therefore, is the American people are being awakened.
And they're being awakened not just by the destruction of the economy.
They are being awakened because they are finally seeing the real Barack Obama.
And it's nothing like the man they thought they elected.
This is an utter, cold, mean-spirited, partisan liar, a man who has to lie about his agenda in order to get people to support it.
Because he can't be on.
This is why the Democrat Party will eventually implode and fail.
They cannot be honest about what their intentions are.
They cannot be honest about policies at all.
They have to lie.
You often hear people complain, Republicans don't have any strategy, or the Democrats have a strategy, they're always doing something, they're always in motion.
Why don't Republicans?
Very simple.
The Republicans make the mistake, and it is a mistake in our culture these days, of relying on facts.
They think the power of facts will overwhelm and win the day.
We're up against a bunch of people who are lying through their teeth, sounding not that much different from Republicans when their agenda is 180 degrees different, but their strategy is to lie and to fool and to get somebody as a candidate who is a smooth talker and speaks in platitudes and comes off as messianic.
Not only does he lie, he sounds excellent doing it.
Sounds trusting and confident, educated, smart, clean, as Biden said.
But it's going to implode because people are awakening now.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
I have an interesting story here in the Washington Times, a headline, government study, climate bill spells gloom for jobs.
Despite President Obama's prediction that it would create new jobs, the climate change bill passed by the House will mean fewer jobs by 2030 than if Congress did nothing at all, according to the first comprehensive study of the measure by Obama's own government.
The report by the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said the bill would lead to small increases in electricity costs for consumers, what Democrats said was an affordable sacrifice for the environmental benefits of lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
If we can move to a clean energy and a clean energy future at a cost of less than a postage stamp per family per day, said Energy Secretary Stephen Chu.
The report said the average cost to a household by 2020 would be $114, but that's not true because in Australia, it has been a debacle.
Utility bills have skyrocketed under the same kind of plan.
So what is Obama?
Is he just a liar or is he just an inexperienced fool?
What do you think, Don?
Dawn thinks he's a liar.
Why limit ourselves?
Why can't he be both?
Because he is.
He's never run anything.
All he's done is agitate people and get them to act as mobs.
He's a community agitator, organized people to attack the private sector, the job creators.
Barack Obama is a walking, talking destroyer.
The American people are losing jobs.
Obama has pushed legislation to guarantee more jobs will be lost with this stupid green energy cap and trade bill.
His own government now says it's going to cost us jobs.
He said he would create over 3.5 to 4 million jobs within two years.
Wrong.
He is going to destroy 3.5 to 4 million jobs within two years.
If this keeps up.
Don in Philadelphia, you're next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, it's a tremendous honor to speak with you.
I'm one of the Brooks Brother organizers of the protest rally at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia against Obamacare that was actually a town hall meeting featuring Inspector's Town Hall meeting featuring Kathleen Sebelius.
Right.
I have to tell you, I think one of the most insulting aspects of this whole thing is the idea that it is not coming from the grassroots.
We weren't working with any national organization.
We called for this.
We initiated this protest via our organization, Independence Hall Tea Party Association, which was formed right after the April tax week of Tea Parties.
Let me tell you something, Don.
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
They know this.
They know it.
They know exactly who you are, and that's what scares them.
They know you're not one of their own mobs.
They know you are genuine.
They know you are real.
They know your roots grow grass.
Their roots grow astroturf.
They know everything, and everybody in your group is real.
That's why they're out tarring and feathering and trying to impugn you, because you are real.
They are not real.
They know exactly who you are.
You ought to be outraged that the President of the United States is trying to discredit a majority of American citizens and have the rest of the country think that you are something that you are not when it is his group, Acorn, that does exactly what he's accusing you of doing.
He's the agitator.
He's the one that said if they bring a knife, we bring a gun.
He's the one that told his supporters, I want you to get in their face and argue with them.
He's the guy that inspires the kind of behavior he wants people to think you're engaged in.
They know damn well you're showing up because you're ticked off at the substance of what he's trying to do and that you're more informed than these buffoons that he's sending out to defend it.
You notice he won't defend it personally.
You know, he won't have a debate.
Mr. President, let's have a debate about single payer.
Let's have a debate about it.
He will not debate anybody, the specifics.
He goes out, speaks in platitudes like a gutless wonder, sends all these other people out there to take the arrows.
Sebelius has to go out there and take the arrows.
Biden has to go out there and take the arrows.
Specter has to go out there and take the arrows while he's out there in Elkhart, Indiana, lying to people whose town's been destroyed because of his policies.
The RV capital, and this is a guy that wants RVs in a river.
They know exactly who you are.
They know exactly who every one of the opposition is.
And their means, their intention is to get you off the playing field, not to debate you, not to engage you and try to persuade you.
Obama clears the playing field, but he doesn't even, he won't even have the courage to debate this with people.
He gets stacked audiences that a state-run ABC gives him in the White House for an infomercial on his health care plan.
And all he does to deflect the criticism is tell people things which aren't true about his plan.
If there's any disinformation on Obamacare, it's coming right from him and the Democrat Party.
He is saying, for example, that there will be no end to private insurance.
You like your insurance, you'll be able to keep it.
We just want another competitor out there, the government.
That'll bring these evil insurance companies into line, take away some of their immoral profits.
And yet Barney Frank and Jan Schikowski and a bunch of other Democrats are running around happily talking about how they can't wait to get the single payer and how the strategy is to make it happen.
You got to go public option first and you got to let people keep their insurance for a while, but one slight change and they're finished.
They got to go public option.
And then all the businesses that want to offload their health care will force you to go public option.
That's exactly what they want.
They want to kill the market.
They don't want to compete with it.
Obama's whole strategy is kill the opposition, clear the playing field in a political sense, folks.
But he wants to kill off private insurance.
He wants to kill it.
And he knows we've got tape.
We said it played this.
He can't do it right off the bat.
It may take 10 years, but that's the goal.
That's the objective.
He knows damn well you know this.
He knows damn well that you genuinely oppose it.
The president of the United States, who is president of all of us, has decided to take aim at over half of the American people as political opponents.
He is not even wasting his time on Republicans.
He's going after average citizens.
And his blue dog Democrats, they better be paying attention.
If they go along, they can't, they're running a scam on everybody trying to tell us they're fiscal conservatives.
They vote for this.
There is nothing fiscally responsible about it, much less conservative.
They vote for this.
They're no different than the average leftist leading the House of Representatives.
Expansion of government, loss of liberty, loss of freedom.
That's not what the people who elected them thought they were.
And you blue dogs, I'm telling you, if you want to find out what happens to people who promise one thing in a campaign and go to Washington and govern in a totally different way, go call the Republicans who lost house races in 04, 06, and 08.
You talk to them and find out why they lost.
They didn't govern as they promised.
They didn't govern it, represent the people who sent them there.
And the blue dogs, you people are facing the same situation.
Who do you want to side with?
You want your buddy to be Pelosi, the tort lawyers, and the public sector union bosses?
Or do you want your friends to be your constituents?
Back in a second.
Welcome back.
We go back to the phones of Wausau, Wisconsin.
And Jeff, thank you for calling, sir.
Nice to have you here.
Well, Rush, I hope you say that after my call.
I've listened to you for years, and I love you, and I'm going to say to you, nice try, but you're wrong.
You're wrong about the wise conservative to the core American people.
I want to know how the wise conservative to the core American people stuck us with the president who was the most far-left voting candidate ever.
My God, this guy is starting to make Bill Clinton look like George Washington.
I tell you, and the wise conservative to the core American people are responsible for this.
How in the world, I'm just a lunkhead sitting here in Wausau, Wisconsin.
I knew this guy was the most far-left voting Senate candidate.
I could see through the lies before this guy got elected.
I mean, how in the world could not the rest of the conservatives of the core American people see that?
I mean, American people, are you listening to me?
You're smart at some things.
You're whiz-bang at technology and things like that.
But in politics, you're dumb and you're getting dumber.
Could you turn off American Idol for a freaking 30 minutes?
Could you turn off watching crab fishermen for a freaking 30 minutes and find out what the hell is going on in your country?
Here we are now.
We got this guy for another, what, three years?
And I tell you this, Rush, I'll bet you a case of cat food for your cat, whatever it likes.
This guy is a lock.
He is an absolute lock to win re-election.
I don't care if there's 40% unemployment and cities are in flames.
This guy is a lock because the American people are smart in some things, but in politics, they're dumb and they're getting dumber by the hour.
We got this guy now.
We're stuck with him.
Thanks, wise conservative to the core American people.
Thanks a lot.
Sarah Palin, if you're listening out there, dear, I love you.
Stay out of it.
Next time, it's going to be nothing but baby, baby, baby.
That goofy ex-fiancé is going to be trying to earn every dime he possibly can.
He's going to be on every far-left TV show that they possibly can get out there.
They're going to destroy you, honey.
They're going to destroy you.
Take it easy.
Enjoy some fishing.
Enjoy life in Alaska.
Stay out of it.
The American people in politics are dumb and they're getting dumber.
Rush, I've tried my best to contain myself.
I still love you.
I'm still going to listen to you.
I don't know what you think about me now.
Well, I love you.
Oh, you do?
Even though I say that.
I mean, this is a great call.
Well, thanks.
I didn't expect that.
Well, we don't always judge the quality of calls on whether the caller makes sense.
Passion.
Passion.
Wait a minute.
I got to think about that.
Passion is the key.
Passion is the key.
Now, passionate caller is not making any sense.
To me, I make perfect sense.
I know you're making perfect sense to yourself, but I know you passionately believe everything you said.
You basically said the American people are a bunch of idiots.
They're not a bunch of idiots, not across the board, but in politics.
Look, McCain, McCain, these war heroes, I love him for what he did in the Hanoi, in the Hanoi Hilton, but these war heroes, they come back and they get witless when they go into politics.
The guy wanted to be the great statesman.
The guy wanted to be fair play above the fray.
What did it get you, Mr. McCain?
If you're listening out there, what did it get you?
Two more votes?
Obama beat you in a landslide.
The most far-left guy, a community organizer, beat the war hero in a landslide.
You tell me the American people are not dumb in politics.
Well, hang on a second.
Let me address this.
All right.
I would give the American people.
Yes.
If you take that, you look at that campaign as it was run.
I think it was pretty damn smart not to vote for McCain.
Well, let me finish now.
The reason it was smart, not because he wasn't a conservative.
That's true.
The whole Republican Party has gone south trying to become Mr. and Ms. Moderate, Mr. and Ms. Happen, Rush, with these people.
If they get back into Congress next year, it's going to be the same thing.
Oh, they're talking now.
But as soon as they get back into Congress, we want to reach a conservative.
Well, wait a minute.
We want to include the point in talking to you if you're this fatalistic.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm just.
I mean, if you're this fatalistic, if there's no solution to this, I think you should go to Alaska, go fishing with Sarah and Todd Taylor.
Okay, please correct me then.
Please correct me.
Give me some hope.
Well, I just want to change the premise.
I want to go back and have you relive that campaign.
You were smart enough to figure out Obama, but most people who were getting a lot of their news from the state-run media had listened to seven years of how absolutely rotten Bush was.
Bush never defended himself, leaving his voters out to dry.
They were never defended.
He never defended himself.
The lies that the media told about the economy, the war in Iraq, domestic spying, the American people wanted change, anything.
But you put up the war hero and the one foot in a grave campaign he ran versus this smooth-talking, eloquent liar who had people believing they're going to get the exact opposite of what they got.
People wanted what Obama was promising.
Now, you may have been smart enough to see it, but people vote emotionally in a lot of cases.
But in addition to falling for Obama, the people who didn't fall for him really had nowhere else to go.
There was no passion.
Like you've got passion.
There wasn't any passion in the Republican electorate.
Are the American people going to be smarter the next time around?
Well, this is what my theory is: that real life experience.
This guy's not who he said he was.
This guy's a fraud.
He's practicing deceit.
Their lives are being destroyed while he tells them they're being rescued.
Now, at some point, people are smart enough to know that they can't afford food.
They're smart enough to know when they don't have a job to go to.
They're smart enough to know when their spouses start complaining to them about hanging around the house all day.
They're smart enough to know gasoline prices start going up.
They're smart enough to know they can't afford a new car unless the government gives them $4,500.
They're smart enough to know a lot of things as they live them.
Well, Rush, let's hope three years from now when that old Obama campaign begins rolling again, they're smart enough to know then, too.
To hell with three years, 2010, 2010, there's got to be some stop to this agenda.
Only if you are Speaker of the House and keep them guys in line, or maybe the whip.
I am the Speaker of the American House.
Rush, I know you got to let me go.
I still love you.
I think you're wrong about this, but I hope you can prove me wrong.
Well, I hope it's not to me.
The American people.
I have faith they will prove you wrong.
I have faith that they.
Do you not take any heart and solace in the fact that Obama's cratering issue by issue in the polls?
He's cratering right now, but I got a feeling that he's going to come bouncing back for some reason.
I don't care.
I don't know.
Maybe it'll be a war that lands in his lap or something or something.
All right.
Here's the key for you.
If the election was next week, maybe so.
Well, look at, I'm not quitting.
No, I'm not quitting either.
I certainly sure as hell don't want you to.
Now, look, here's the thing: because I do now have just one minute.
The key to all this is taking back the Republican Party so that we have a political vehicle to advance the conservative movement, Jeff.
The American people, by every legitimate study is more conservative than liberal.
We have to have a nominee who is conservative, who can speak conservatism, who can speak American patriotism, who can respond to left-wing arguments, who is confident in his knowledge.
This is the challenge.
The challenge we have is making sure the moderates, the genuine stupid elitists in our own party, do not control it.
Come the next two elections.
If we put up a candidate like that, we'll win.
We always do when we put up a candidate like that in national races.
We are making the case for our case on radio, in books, to have somebody to vote for.
And that's how you turn out the vote in national elections.
To get you, your passion, lit up in everybody else, to get this current agenda fixed and gone and have some.
And the only way that passion that you exhibited in this call is going to erupt for a Republican candidate if he is or she is a genuine conservative.
And if that passion can be aroused, the Democrats don't have a prayer, especially with the damage they are wreaking on everyday people and their lives.
Look, folks, what choice did the people have in 2008?
We had a Democrat promising to do traditional Democrat things, and we had a Republican telling us his big asset was his willingness to work with Democrats to get done what they wanted to get.
What choice did the American people have?
Give them a choice.
