| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Greetings, uh, my good friends and stark raving mad enemies. | |
| Great to have all of you here with us on the EIB network, Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies. | |
| Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-288-2, and the email address Ill Rushbow at EIBNet.com. | |
| Gotta hear it again. | |
| This morning, WLS, the big 89 in Chicago, Don Wade and Roma asked Charlie Gibson about Acorn. | |
| I don't even know about it. | |
| Um so I you you've got me at a loss. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Um but but my goodness, if it's got everything including sleeziness in it, uh, we should talk about it this morning. | |
| Well, I think that this is a huge issue because um there's so much funding that goes into this organization and it's a multi-faction. | |
| I know we've done some stories about Acorn before, but uh uh this one I don't know about. | |
| Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. | |
| I know he's at least blogged once on this scandal. | |
| You guys are you guys are really up on the uh on the website. | |
| Now, Charlie Gibson is either pleading ignorance, incompetence instead of bias. | |
| He's claiming he doesn't know about this. | |
| Now let's examine this. | |
| The top news guy at ABC, this is the anchor for World News tonight, did not know about Acorn. | |
| Which means he didn't know that the census kicked Acorn out of the operation. | |
| That has been news. | |
| Did they not cover that either at ABC? | |
| And Charlie Gibson didn't know that the Senate voted to stop all payments to Acorn. | |
| Why? | |
| Why did Charlie Gibson not know these things? | |
| Is he too busy tracking the day-to-day activities of Sarah Palin with his reading glasses halfway down his nose? | |
| Remember that uh arrogant, condescending interview he did with Sarah P. Must be too busy tracking her daily movements here as a private citizen to be aware of what's happening in the country. | |
| Do we really believe he didn't know? | |
| Do we really believe his plea of ignorance rather than bias? | |
| Boy, you guys are really up on the web page. | |
| I frankly think that Roma here was quite restrained. | |
| I'm I would have been, if if I had been talking to Charlie Gibson, he told me he didn't know about it, I would have I would have been incredulous. | |
| But uh ABC's Citadel is uh somewhat still in the family now. | |
| Uh from BigGovernment.com, Mike Roman last week, we saw some pretty disturbing activities revealed in the undercover footage from Acorn's housing Baltimore office. | |
| By any measure of conduct, the actions of Acorn's employees should never have happened. | |
| It turns out the actions shouldn't have happened for another very simple reason. | |
| Acorn can't legally operate in the state of Maryland. | |
| By the way, this is Obama's America. | |
| And I have to tell you, Acorn is Obama. | |
| Obama is Acorn. | |
| Just like um Van Van, what was his last name? | |
| Van Van Jones is A is Obama. | |
| I mean, Obama trained Acorn people back in the 80s when he did a community organizing. | |
| He trained them. | |
| He had a he had a big meeting with them during the uh transition period. | |
| We're gonna be involved in every one of you. | |
| Putting together the agenda for the next presidency and I'm he had a meeting with Acorn. | |
| I mean, he is Acorn. | |
| You cannot separate the two. | |
| Now, according to documents that are attached here to the uh biggovern.com story, Acorn Inc., the parent organization of all things Acorn, and they got 300 or so different organizations with different names all under the uh and then there's Acorn International. | |
| Acorn is it's freaking everywhere. | |
| But according to the documents attached to the story here, Acorn Inc. | |
| forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland 2006. | |
| Acorn Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. | |
| Thus, any Acorn office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally, and yet the Maryland Attorney General has made noises about prosecuting the uh the intrepid journalists who un under uncovered the misdeeds of the uh acorn employees. | |
| Maybe the guy should focus instead on how Acorn was able to operate without a license in his state. | |
| Uh Yesterday, Senator Mike Johans of Nebraska Republican introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation Appropriation Bill to strip Acorn of all federal funding. | |
| Now, a week ago, he wouldn't have gotten that amendment to the floor. | |
| Ed Morrissey points this out at Hotair.com. | |
| But after three straight days of the video exposes of biggovernment.com of Acorn offices in Washington, uh New York City and Baltimore. | |
| He got an impressive showing. | |
| The uh the Senate passed his amendment 83-7. | |
| Now, Charlie Gibson didn't know this. | |
| The Senators knew, the senators knew all about it, but Charlie Gibson, ABC World News Tonight didn't know any of this had happened. | |
| Here are the seven that voted for continuing funding, federal funding of Acorn. | |
| Dick Durbin, Illinois, Roland Burris, Illinois, Robert Casey, Pennsylvania, Kirsten Gillibrand, New York, Pat Leakey Leahy, Vermont, Bernie Sanders, Vermont, and Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island. | |
| So as uh as Ed Morrissey humorously observes, I guess we can assume that Illinois and Vermont are especially sympathetic to child whoring pimp assistants. | |
| These seven people voted to maintain. | |
| Now the uh House Republicans today will introduce a bill that would end all federal funding to Acorn and its affiliates. | |
| Republicans are also sending a letter to President Obama on the subject since he is Acorn. | |
| The action comes after the release of these videos and the action in the Senate yesterday. | |
| House Republicans point out that they've long pushed for a cutoff in government funding for Acorn. | |
| John Boehner last year sent a letter to President Bush asking for the defunding of Acorn. | |
| Uh already Republican legislation calling for the total cutoff of HUD funds to Acorn. | |
| Daryl Issa, ranking Republican the House Oversight Government Reform Committee took a leading role in pushing for the Census Bureau decision. | |
| Acorn's out there, supposedly. | |
| But I believe all this when I see it. | |
| Uh, and now defunded in the Senate, but of course that has to also happen in the House. | |
| In the meantime, and I say, bring it on to this baby, bring it on. | |
| Facing intensifying scrutiny after the release of several disturbing hidden camera videos. | |
| Acorn's threatening to sue Fox News, the website Breitbart.com, and the two conservative activists who produced the exposes. | |
| Bring it on. | |
| Sue them. | |
| Why did you fire the employees if this is all trumped up and phony? | |
| A lawyer for Acorn said Monday that the statutes in Maryland and D.C. made the undercover filming illegal, and that the same laws should prohibit the rebroadcast of the tapes by the website biggovernment.com where they were first posted last week and on Fox News. | |
| It's clear the videos are doctored, edited, and uh in no way uh the result of a fabricated story being portrayed by conservative activist still maker O'Keefe. | |
| Mr. O'Keefe, stop calling yourself an activist. | |
| Call yourself a journalist from now on. | |
| You gotta stop calling yourself an act. | |
| Call yourself a journalist, you can do all you want. | |
| You're just 60 minutes 2009. | |
| Sixty minutes is now sixty minutes with Obama anyway. | |
| Uh sixty minutes has ceded what was the role that put him on the map. | |
| So you Mr. O'Keefe, call yourself a journalist. | |
| Get rid of this activist business, and the world will open up to you. | |
| So I want to see this lawsuit. | |
| Bring it on, because they fired the employees. | |
| Now here's Lee Scott, Big Hollywood. | |
| Breitbart.com. | |
| I just found out that the two women featured on the undercover Acorn video posted on our sister site Big Government were fired by the community organizing group. | |
| This is really good news. | |
| First, it proves that the ridiculously funny and unbelievable video is real. | |
| At first glance, it's so over the top one assumes it must be fake. | |
| But now we have the proof that these women really were Acorn employees and not the most talented improv actors to ever live. | |
| Secondly, it means these two women are now unemployed, and I want to hire them immediately. | |
| These women can navigate the tax code So well, they managed to gin up dependent child tax credits for underage El Salvador prostitutes. | |
| They provided detailed instructions on how to obtain a low-interest government subsidized mortgage for a whorehouse. | |
| They gave clever insight into laundering a pimp's take of prostitute earnings into a campaign account for a would-be Democrat politician. | |
| I look at him as an independent film producer, and I think must hire. | |
| With these two on my side, imagine what I can accomplish. | |
| My tax credit revenue would triple. | |
| My financing schemes would abandon foreign presales and network television deals and embrace government grants and subsidies. | |
| Bureaucratic and confusing union paperwork would dissolve in their capable hands at the end of the first show. | |
| SAG and I Etsy, the unions of it, would owe me money. | |
| Ladies, whatever Acorn was paying, I'll double it and I'll give you gross points. | |
| Joking aside, this little video tells us a lot. | |
| It's not simply that Acorn's a corrupt and shady organization. | |
| We already knew that. | |
| That's no more a revelation than the fact Lindsay Lohan has some issues with adult beverages. | |
| No, it shows us that the default mode of human nature is capitalism. | |
| There's no way around it. | |
| These women were supposedly working to benefit their community. | |
| A noble and selfless pursuit. | |
| What they were really adept at is gaming the system, just like an independent, scrappy filmmaker. | |
| You see, at the root of communism and socialism is the undeniable truth that there's always somebody at the top. | |
| Capitalism rewards ingenuity, smarts, and hard work. | |
| Socialism rewards cronyism, manipulation, and collective thought. | |
| If the politicians in Washington really believe that we should all pitch in as their policies dictate, why wouldn't those millionaires donate their federal salaries to charity? | |
| If they were really true believers, they would live like monks, sleeping in their office and shopping at goodwill. | |
| Instead, they're eating Kobe steaks and buying jets. | |
| Get real. | |
| I've always been baffled by the fact that people who rabidly embrace Darwinism over Christian doctrine don't see natural selection at work in the political, economic, and social realm. | |
| Seems backwards to me. | |
| Shouldn't the followers of Jesus, not Darwin, be the ones who push for all of us to be our brother's keeper? | |
| I can understand how Christians can interpret their beliefs to gel with Ben Franklin's God helps those who help themselves, but I can't for the life of me figure out how people of science and reason have adopted the belief system that they have. | |
| Because communism and socialism fly in the face of natural law. | |
| All I can conclude is that socialists and communists have selected their ideology as a means to consolidate money and power. | |
| It's a way of getting money in power without having to be ingenious, without having to be entrepreneurial, and without having to get a job for crying out loud. | |
| You just friggin' front raise. | |
| Or you live on federal grants. | |
| They are reverse to hard work and true entrepreneurialism, and they have found a shortcut to wealth and control. | |
| Communism is capitalism for schemers, and Acorn in their own little universe is no different than AIG. | |
| Both exist to game the system while pretending to do something else. | |
| And as a side note, the writer says he would like to further commend the two women in the video. | |
| So we uh we, quote, unquote, typical white people get uh sort of racist vibe from the whole acorn thing, so I applaud those two African American women for their treatment of the Caucasian pimp and his hoe. | |
| I can only hope that white acorn workers show the same respect for all the black hustlers and trick turners who seek their assistance. | |
| So what ladies could consider me impressed from one capitalist to another, ready to work the system to our benefit. | |
| Please consider my offer. | |
| I need your tax expertise. | |
| We'll be back. | |
| You know this disease that Charlie Gibson has. | |
| He didn't know about the acorn story. | |
| Last Friday, Robert Gibbs, the most competent, I mean the best press secretary the White House ever had, country has ever had, was asked what he thought of the upcoming rally on Saturday. | |
| And Gibbs said last Friday that the White House was unaware of the rally. | |
| He didn't know who the group was. | |
| It isn't a group. | |
| They are the American people that showed up, protesting you and your administration and your policies. | |
| Gibson didn't know about Acorn and Gibbs didn't know about the rally last Saturday. | |
| Tom in Williamsburg, Virginia, uh, You're up next on the EIB network. | |
| Hi. | |
| Rush, uh, it seems to me that uh Acorn is just replacing the mob. | |
| Um they're doing the work it seems that the mob refuses to do, just like you're doing the work that Charlie Gibson refuses to do. | |
| Well, except the mob is still there. | |
| Um what what Acorn's doing, your analogy is somewhat close. | |
| What Acorn's doing is the work Obama is doing, but they got caught. | |
| You know, Obama is acorn. | |
| I mean, Obama inspires Acorn. | |
| Oh, by the way, I am watching. | |
| I'm not listening, of course, because I am hosting the program, but I'm watching Obama in Pittsburgh, and somebody is gonna catch hell because he has no powder on, and the lights there are reflecting off his forehead. | |
| This is not godlike. | |
| This does not look good. | |
| This I've never seen, because it looks like he's got the Nixon sweat going. | |
| Looks like he glistening out there. | |
| Look at the way the lights are reflecting. | |
| It's especially bad up there on PMSNBC, which is of course his official uh outlet. | |
| But uh he's in he's uh finished a speech in Ohio to the auto workers, now he's in Pittsburgh at the uh at the AFL CIO. | |
| So, yeah, you can say Acorn's a mob. | |
| I thought we were the mob. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| I thought we were the unruly mob. | |
| Well, regardless. | |
| Acorn is doing the work Obama is doing. | |
| It's all one happy family, and this is Obama's America. | |
| Ventura, California. | |
| Dale hello and welcome. | |
| Great to have you with us. | |
| Hello. | |
| Megadiddos, Rush. | |
| It's a pleasure to talk to you after. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| You bet. | |
| I'm just wondering if everybody's forgetting the fact that about a year or so ago, Kanye West blew up and went into a tirade about uh the fact that the music awards were racist because he didn't get one. | |
| And I shudder to think that if it was a black artist receiving an award up there, he wouldn't have interrupted her. | |
| Um yeah, okay, I'll grant that. | |
| But he's entitled. | |
| Because all white people are racist. | |
| We are learning this from the mainstream media. | |
| Of course, Newsweek magazine says that uh by six months, white kids can distinguish differences in skin color of uh of people and they become racist and their parents can't do anything about it. | |
| Well, well, Rush, I think the racist here is Kanye, and he needs to look close in the mirror when he takes the time off. | |
| Well, no, no, you're missing it. | |
| Uh, Kanye can't be the racist, he doesn't have power to be a racist. | |
| Uh Jesse uh Jackson uh once said that um African Americans cannot possibly be racist because they don't, even if they are, they don't have the power to implement their racism or to wield it uh over anybody. | |
| Could I make one more quick point about the media? | |
| Yeah, besides, I mean, if you're Kanye West, and here's some 19-year-old country Western virgin, I mean, what's she doing on the show in the first place when you got somebody like Beyonce out there? | |
| I mean, it's all totally understandable if you look at it from Kanye's worldview. | |
| Yes. | |
| Could I make one quick point about the media rush? | |
| Yeah. | |
| The hypocritical yellow journalists in the media are conveniently forgetting, while they're vilifying us as racists, that they went to great lengths in the campaign to let us know that Barack was half black and half white. | |
| So are we now racist for opposing one of our own? | |
| Well, that we did the state controlled media make that point. | |
| Yes. | |
| Were they the ones uh telling us I thought it was Obama himself that was uh doing that uh with his typical uh racist white grandmother. | |
| And it was being reported by the uh media. | |
| Well, I guess it was, and they did do the uh the uh magic Negro piece in the Los Angeles Times. | |
| By the way, is Obama's brother still living in the hut. | |
| Have we got an update on that? | |
| I think he's still in the hut, right? | |
| Hutt hut, hot sweet hut. | |
| Obama's brother's still in the in the hut. | |
| Well, I don't have time to take another phone call and be fair with it, so that we got to go up in Grand Junction, Colorado about Joe Wilson uh coming up, and I I do want to take that, but I I gotta say this, Joe Wilson. | |
| If the House of Representatives, if they actually do this today, if they actually vote to censure Joe Wilson, you know what's going to happen? | |
| Because folks, don't tell anybody this. | |
| Just keep it between us. | |
| But we want that to happen. | |
| We want the House to censure Joe Wilson. | |
| He will then become the single largest fundraising member of Congress in history. | |
| We want this to happen. | |
| Psst. | |
| Don't tell anybody, though. | |
| Don't want to work it out. | |
| I hope they do this. | |
| I hope he's already past the one million dollar threshold and even more. | |
| And even after they're trying to hack his website. | |
| You know, I just got a funny email. | |
| They saw me stand up here on the Ditto Cam at a top of the hour break, and I'm getting emails about the shorts I'm wearing today. | |
| One guy says, gee, it looks like you rated M. C. Hammers bankruptcy. | |
| Greetings and welcome back, Rush Linboy. | |
| I've got a good, I got a good question here. | |
| I have a serious question. | |
| Stop everything for a minute. | |
| I have a serious question I want everybody to consider. | |
| Newsweek magazine essentially saying that racism is inborn. | |
| I mean, they've their cover story is all about children, white children being born racist. | |
| I mean, that's the cover. | |
| We had it for Did you not hear me discussing this yesterday, Dawn? | |
| No, no, no, no, no. | |
| The long time ago they did we're all socialists now. | |
| They've got September 14th cover, children born racist. | |
| Like Time Magazine, boys and girls are actually born different. | |
| This is white kids are born racist. | |
| And at six months, these uh babies are able to distinguish skin color differences and are they become racist, then their parents can't do anything about it. | |
| Now, if racism is thus inborn, as Newsweek magazine says, not me now, Newsweek magazine says, and if homosexuality is inborn, it's not a choice. | |
| Then I, ladies and gentlemen, El Rushbow admit to being confused, which doesn't often happen. | |
| I'm I'm I'm Mr. Clarity here, but I I admit to being confused here. | |
| If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable. | |
| Why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable? | |
| I'm sorry, I mean, this is the way my mind works. | |
| But apparently now we don't choose racism, we just are racists. | |
| We are born that way. | |
| We don't choose it. | |
| So shouldn't it be acceptable? | |
| Excuse me. | |
| This is according to the way the left thinks about things. | |
| Are you serious? | |
| Well, no, I sensitivity training cannot cure racism. | |
| If sensitivity training can cure racism, there wouldn't be any. | |
| How much sensitivity training have we had about racism, starting with the civil war? | |
| You can't get very more sensitive than the civil war. | |
| And in following, we've had the voting rights act, we have the Civil Rights Act, we've had, we've had, I mean, we've had I mean we Eric Holder says we have a national conversation about race, we've never stopped the national conversation about race. | |
| I mean the sensitivity to this is it can't get any higher. | |
| So if if homosexuality is not a choice, if it's if you're born that way, and if racism's not a choice, if you're born that way, then as homosexuality, well, it's acceptable because you're born that way, you can't criticize it. | |
| Then how can racism be criticized? | |
| We need to ask the editors and the writers at Newsweek this question. | |
| Because they, of course, have posited the theory. | |
| Uh I'm just casually off the top of my fertile mind moments ago, asked if Obama's brother's still in the hut. | |
| Uh during the break, I got this story. | |
| It is from Kenya. | |
| September the 13th, it's in the Boston Globe. | |
| African kin seek Obama's help, but president offers no special aid or access. | |
| After Obama was elected president, uh, or I'm sorry, after Obama was elected to the Senate in 2004, a delegation from the remote African village, where his father was raised, journeyed to Washington seeking financial help. | |
| Obama offered them advice, non money. | |
| Now that Obama's moved to the White House, expectations of financial benefit have grown even greater in this tiny hamlet where water is still delivered to thatched huts on the backs of donkeys. | |
| The village where his father was raised. | |
| Water still delivered to thatched huts on the backs of donkeys there. | |
| Nicholas Rahujula, a businessman in the village, said there are still those who are waiting for Obama to send millions. | |
| So is his brother. | |
| Dreams alone seem to be sustaining those, counting on an economic boom in this rural corner of Western Kenya near Lake Victoria, where the American president's father grew up and where many of his relatives remain. | |
| In uh Cogello, I don't know if I'm pronouncing this right. | |
| It's K-O-G-E-L-O. | |
| In Cogello, Kenya, where the uh Barack Senior was raised, there is no restaurant, there's no post office to speak of. | |
| What's that mean? | |
| No post office to speak of. | |
| Means there's a post office, but it's unspeakable. | |
| What is it? | |
| An acorn whorehouse? | |
| Well, I mean, what the hell? | |
| Why can't you speak about the post office in this village? | |
| Two hours from the nearest city, the village is not even on most maps. | |
| Still the price of land is skyrocketed because of rampant speculation about an Obama family museum that the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism has promised to build. | |
| Oh my God, I don't believe this. | |
| They've been waiting since 2004 for millions. | |
| Obama sent them not a penny, and already land prices are skyrocketing on the dream there's going to be an Obama family museum in Kenya. | |
| And there have been some modest but tangible signs of progress that uh that seemed tied to the village's new notoriety within a week of Obama's election victory last year. | |
| The Kenyan government began to pave the main road to town. | |
| It also brought in an electricity and water line to help Obama's stepgrandmother's compound. | |
| Wait a second. | |
| They brought in electricity water lines, one each, uh, to Obama's step-grandmother's compound. | |
| Not to the whole town, just to Obama's step. | |
| How in the hell do you have a compound in a village that's not on a map where donkeys still deliver water to thatched huts? | |
| Three Hut Comp. | |
| Okay, okay, three hut compound. | |
| Some relatives have set up foundations trying to raise money for development projects using the Obama name. | |
| As strangers are suddenly a common sight in the market, attracted by safari companies that advertise heritage tours about the first African American U.S. president, a tourist hotel is planned. | |
| But what's missing is a this is the Boston Globe now. | |
| What's missing is a direct infusion of cash from Obama or the U.S. government, say local residents and members of the extended Obama family, some of whom say that they have relayed money requests through emails and letters to Washington. | |
| Now that expectation might come as a surprise in the U.S., where such gifts are not an obligation. | |
| Obama's not considered a particularly wealthy man. | |
| But in well, Acorn is in Kenya, where politicians are often judged by how much financial help they funneled a family and tribe, the lack of cash donations from the president has caused some consternation. | |
| The businessman who funded the delegation's trip to Washington with his handout asking Obama for money said Obama encouraged the group. | |
| The group was Obama's uncle was in the group, by the way. | |
| Obama encouraged the group to form self-help organizations and apply for funding through official channels, such as U.S. aid. | |
| There's no money that comes from his pocket, said the businessman. | |
| A White House official said the president's policy of pointing aid requests to official channels is consistent with his message of good governance. | |
| So here's the headline again. | |
| African kin relations. | |
| Obama family members seek his help, but he is offered no special aid or access. | |
| But he is his brother's keeper. | |
| That's what he says. | |
| Michael, Grand Junction, Colorado, thanks for holding. | |
| Welcome to the program. | |
| Yeah, hello, Rush, and Semper Five from a longtime listener. | |
| Hello, America, and most of the world. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| I think Joe Wilson ought to take advantage if he is reprimanded and go on camera and look right into the camera and say something to the effect that he thought the protocol in Congress had changed and referred to the leadership directly of Harry Reed taking a stand calling George Bush a liar and also Nancy Pelosi and calling CIA liars. | |
| Well, let's let's not stop there. | |
| Here is Pete Stark in his own words on the floor of the House of Representatives, bashing the troops and calling the president a liar twice in the same speech. | |
| This is what Fortney Pete Stark said. | |
| The Republicans are worried that we can't pay for insuring an additional ten million children. | |
| They sure don't care about finding 200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. | |
| Where are you going to get that money? | |
| You're going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? | |
| Mr. President, is that how you're going to fund the war? | |
| You don't have enough money to fund the war for children. | |
| Are you going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can't get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement? | |
| President Bush's statements about children's health shouldn't be taken any more seriously than his lies about the war in Iraq. | |
| Truth is Bush just likes to blow things up in Iraq in the United States and in Congress. | |
| That's Fortney Pete Stark on the floor of the House of Representatives. | |
| By the way, I need to make a uh a correction. | |
| I am told that the Democrats are planning to rebuke Wilson, not formally censure him. | |
| If that's true, it means the Democrats really don't want to do this, but the kook fringe lunatic left uh must be pushing it, and so they're gonna go for a formal rebuke. | |
| Right, rebuke rather than a formal uh censure. | |
| All right, quick timeout. | |
| Thanks for the call. | |
| We'll be back and continue right after this. | |
| Do not vanish. | |
| Fox, I got a solution to the whole problem of tourism in Kenya. | |
| I've been thinking about this. | |
| You know, but by the way, would do you you heard me describe the village where Obama's dad grew up and where relatives still remain, and the uh the great-grandmother of the uh stepgrand or whatever has uh a compound that are just now running uh waterline to it uh and electricity. | |
| That this place sounds like a green paradise. | |
| They got water being delivered by donkeys, people living in thatched huts, there's no electricity. | |
| I mean, man, this place sounds like exactly what they're trying to turn this country into via green policy. | |
| The place must be paradise. | |
| But I have I have and they're sitting around there waiting land values are skyrocketing, waiting on the forthcoming Obama family museum. | |
| You know how to get that thing built. | |
| Here's what the village elders ought to do. | |
| They ought to say to the birthers in this country that they've got Obama's birth certificate, and that they will put it on display if somebody donates the money to start the building of the family museum. | |
| Would that not be because the birthers, the birth, the birthers could build the Obama family museum. | |
| All the Kenyans would have to do is say, hey, and we'll put the first exhibit will be the birth certificate. | |
| Obama in Pittsburgh now, talking with uh auto workers. | |
| That was in Ohio, and now he's talking to AFL CIO members. | |
| This is this is really cool. | |
| Obama's out talking to the groups that already got stimulated. | |
| He's talking to groups that already got their stimulus cash. | |
| He's talking to them about health care. | |
| Now, listen to this. | |
| This is from uh the state-controlled associated press. | |
| The events are designed to be heavy on working class appeal in hopes of boosting the White House credentials with the middle class uh voters, so crucial to the president's economic agenda. | |
| Is that is that tone deaf or what? | |
| Do you think going out and making a speech to people have already Got stimulus money. | |
| And the health care plan is basically to ensure their health care plans. | |
| Do you think they really think that the way to get middle class support is to go out and cow tow a unions? | |
| Middle class is paying for all this. | |
| The middle class is paying for these people have already been stimulated. | |
| Meanwhile, the shovel ready jobs are still shovel and they're still ready. | |
| And nobody's working on them. | |
| Stimulus payments have slowed except to Obama's buddies to whom he's now speaking. | |
| And they think Obama speaking to his buddies is going to inspire the middle class to get back on board. | |
| And try this in the New York Times. | |
| For Obama, a chance to reform the street is fading. | |
| Now reforming the street in this case means Wall Street. | |
| After bailing out most of them, Obama warns them not to expect it next time. | |
| He also warned those on Wall Street cannot resume taking risks without regard for c regard for consequences and expect it next time American taxpayers will be there to break their fall. | |
| So you're going to get more government oversight as if they were outside observers in the first place. | |
| This is typical. | |
| Hey, we didn't know what was going on. | |
| We're just mere spectators here. | |
| And you guys are gaming the system. | |
| And you guys are unfairly paying yourselves bonuses. | |
| It's already very highly regulated. | |
| The crowd estimates, the arguments still continue to be made over how many people showed up in Washington Saturday. | |
| Ever since what was it, the Million Man March? | |
| Well, for some freeze, the Park Service stopped counting after some. | |
| Yeah, after the Million Man March, uh, which featured the number 19 from uh Calypso Louis Farrakhan, they stopped estimating. | |
| The park service is leave it up to the media to guess now. | |
| So the guesses are out there from 60,000 to uh one and a half million up to two million. | |
| Bottom line is that there is a buzz out there. | |
| Stirrings, percolating action. | |
| Starts with one person and is spreading. | |
| Conservatives are coming together. | |
| Conservative, even if you don't think you're conservative and you showed up Saturday, trust me. | |
| You are. | |
| Now, one example of this of this number of uh i i uh growing is the number of new members at the Heritage Foundation. | |
| Even over 100,000 Americans have become members of Heritage in just the first eight months of this year, which happens to coincide with my informing you about it. | |
| Now that hundred thousand Americans becoming members of Heritage is a statement in and of itself about the growing conservative ascendancy. | |
| And I make no mistake, there is one. | |
| It also speaks to the massive issues that face the country. | |
| Becoming a member of the Heritage Foundation is just one way of standing up to big government and advocating for our freedom. | |
| Every membership helps the heritage people keep a steady flow of the intellectual firepower we will need for everything from health care to government spending and national defense. | |
| During the last commercial, there were over 400,000 members of Heritage. | |
| Now there are more than 500,000 members, and it's growing. | |
| Geometric progressions. | |

| Ask heritage.org. | |
| You'll go look at it. | |
| I guarantee you, you will be impressed. | |
| Next to my website, it's the best encyclopedia out there. | |
| All right, now I'm about to take a twick quick time out because uh there isn't enough time to be fair with another caller, and in fact, frankly, there's not enough time to be unfair with another caller either, so I gotta we'll be back here in just a second. | |
| Over the uh the many years now of my star-studded broadcast career, I have posited the notion that uh environmental extremism, environmental wackoism is simply the new home for displaced communists. | |
| And I've always been right about it, and here's a story from the UK telegraph from the 12th of September official responsible for light bulb ban in the European Union is a former communist. | |
| The man responsible for the Europe wide ban on traditional light bulbs can be revealed as a former Soviet Communist Party member from Latvia. | |
| And it's the same thing here. | |
| They may not be Soviet Communist Party members, but hell, a Communist Party USA puts a press release out, maybe two, every day, supporting whatever Obama happens to be talking about that day. | |
| Are you calling him a communist? | |
| No, no, no. | |
| Don't put words in my mouth. | |
| I didn't say that. | |
| Environmentalist wackos. |
