Time Text
And welcome back.
Great to have you with us.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Utilizing talent on loan from God.
You have to say God.
Traveled on a load from God just doesn't cut it as much.
Anyway, here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I want to go back to this uh editorial in the Investors Business Daily in which the New York Times environmental writer Andrew Revkin participated in a panel uh six days ago, panel discussion on climate change with other media pundits, and it was called covering climate, what's population got to do with it.
And this is all you know, the the the lefties have been positing the notion, Sally, I first heard it since in in the 70s when uh Paul Ehrlich came out with the population bomb that too many people, not enough resources, not enough food, we're all gonna die, we've got to limit population control.
It's now gotten the point that what we exhale, carbon dioxide is the biggest pollutant on the planet and is destroying the climate, and we're gonna be in trouble.
And they believe that humanity is the greatest scourge on the earth anyway.
It's destroying other species, uh, it's destroying resources, and now it's destroying the planet.
And so the purpose of this panel discussion was to eventually come up with uh a plan to limit the number of children American couples can have by offering them carbon credits for children not had.
Revkin said, in volunteering that allocating carbon credits uh for not having kids as part of any cap and trade scheme.
He said, if you can measurably somehow divert fertility rate, say toward accelerating decline in a place with a high fertility rate, shouldn't there be a carbon value to that?
He went on to say that probably the single most concrete and substantive thing or substantive thing an American, a young American could do to lower our carbon footprint is not turn off the lights and not drive a Prius is having fewer kids, having fewer children.
More children equal more carbon dioxide emissions.
Now I've been thinking about this during the commercial break.
Because I take these people seriously.
They are lunatics, but they are dangerous.
I take these people seriously.
If we're going to do this, and this is going to happen, just like you thought I was uh off my rocker back in 1997 when I told you they're going to come after your SUV.
I've warned you every aspect of this left agenda is coming, and gosh, that'll never happen.
I never thought there'd be a Pazar, but it's happened.
I never thought that we'd have governments telling us what we can and can't eat.
I never thought any of this stuff would have, but it's happening.
This is going to happen.
It's still a fringe movement, it's going to happen.
But two things about this.
What defines a couple?
Is it marriage?
I mean, a lot of people have kids today that are non-married.
Do you realize the scheme that is waiting here?
Do you realize all women, regardless of age, from about 13 on could argue that they should be paid every nine months for not having a baby?
Because they're saving the planet.
Well, whatever puberty is, 13 on, if once, once puberty hits, and you can have a baby every nine months and you don't do it, can you get a carbon credit?
Can you get an allowance?
Can you get whatever they're going to pay you for not doing this?
We don't even have to talk about getting married.
We don't even have to talk about being a couple.
I mean, men have no say now, really, in uh whether a child is born or not.
Legally, I mean.
So the what it would a man have any way of benefiting from the carbon credit.
A man cannot give birth.
Women can give birth without a man around.
Many of them prefer to do so.
They work in the Obama administration, too.
But that's another thing.
The second aspect, seriously, we got to think this way because this is where these people are coming from.
Now, my second observation, uh oh.
And as I said, what about homosexuals?
They never have babies.
Think of the financial, no wonder the New York Times is all for this.
Think of think of the financial windfall, the homosexuals who never have babies.
They can say we are single-handedly doing more than anybody to save the planet.
We should be paid a whatever mass sum.
You know, the the the the gay community out there, the militant gay community said, Tax the breeders, but we are saving the planet.
Where does this stop?
But here's here's another observation.
I think these militant environmentalists, these wackos, have so much in common with the jihad guys.
Let me explain this.
What do the jihad guys do?
The jihad guys go to families under their control, and they convince these families to strap explosives on who?
Not them, on their kids.
Grab your three-year-old, grab your four-year-old, grab your six-year-old, and we're gonna strap explosives on there, and then we're gonna send you onto a bus, or we're gonna send you into a shopping center, and we're gonna tell you when to pull a trigger, and you're gonna blow up, and you're gonna blow up everybody around you, and you're gonna head up to wherever you're going, a seventy-three virgins are gonna be there.
Now, the little three or four-year-old doesn't have the presence of mind.
So, well, what about you?
If it's so great up there, why don't you go?
Why don't you strap explosives on you and their and their parents don't have the guts to tell the jihad guys, you do it?
Why do you want my kid to go blow himself up?
The jihad guys will just shoot them.
Because the jihad guys have to maintain control.
The environmentalist wackos are the same way.
This guy from the New York Times, if he really thinks that humanity is destroying the planet, humanity is destroying the climate, that human beings in their natural existence are going to cause the extinction of life on Earth.
Andrew Revkin.
Mr. Revkin, why don't you just go kill yourself?
And help the planet by dying.
Why do you want every one of us, except you and your buddies on the left see the liberals always come up with these laws, these plans, these solutions, and they're always for everybody else.
You go and limit the number of kids you have.
You go, drive a you go.
You go, get rid of your big house.
You go turn your thermostat up or down depending on what it'd be.
You go do this, you go do that.
But I, Barack Obama, I'm gonna throw big parties every night in the White House.
I'm gonna bring in Earth, Wind and Fire, I'm gonna bring in Charlie Pride.
This is happening.
They're having gigs at the White House.
Drudge has a story.
The Earth went and fire, a bunch of people coming in, they're having big parties.
Obama's playing basketball.
I saw a picture today.
Obama's basketballs are logoed with his logo on them.
I kid you not.
Yes, they are.
Yes, they are.
He's I've got a picture of that that circle with the uh the three red lines or the ripoff of the Pepsi logo, his basketballs are logoed.
Somebody who makes basketballs is made up a bunch with Obama's logo on them.
That's no big deal.
Golfers, you know, I have the EIB logo on my golf balls.
No big bit.
But anyway, he's up there playing basketball while everything's going to hell in a handbasket because of his policies.
And he's still living high on the hog with 100 a pound uh beef, Kobe beef, throwing all these parties, flying off to Paris, New York, London for dates with Michelle My Bell.
And meanwhile, you can't find a job, and you're told that your unemployment is not going to be normal.
I mean, this this level of unemployment is the new normal.
AP put the news out today.
So they come up with all these policies, but they're for everybody else but them.
Same as the jihad guys.
The jihad guys never strap explosives on themselves.
The jihad leaders never get on a bus, blow themselves up along with everybody else on it, and then seek the 73 virgins or whatever the come on is.
But they have three and four or five six-year-olds do it.
And it's not just the environmentalists that have a lot in common with the jihad guys.
And just as, you know, the the the families uh in these Palestinian and Hezbollah camps and so forth never say to the jihad guys, why don't you do it?
If it's so damn good, if it's if this is how we advance our movement, is this is if this is how we get rid of the Jews, if this is how we have freedom, if this is how we get our state, why don't you blow yourself?
By the same token, nobody in this country says, Obama, why don't you park Air Force One and drive where you're going?
Why don't you start serving ground chuck instead of serving Kobe beef at your parties?
And why don't you hire a karaoke machine instead of Earth, wind, and fire?
Nobody ever says that.
Nobody says to any of these liberals conjuring up all these policies for, well, you show us leadership, you do it first.
You know, you you turn your thermostat the way you want to.
You put some thermostat in your house where the power company gets to control it.
You do it.
Just like the jihad guys.
Because what do they have in common?
They're all tyrannical, power hungry mobsters.
In one way or another.
Back after this.
Don't go away.
So a guy is sitting on a sofa.
Wife comes in, sits down next to him, turn on a TV, she says, What's on the TV?
He says, Dust.
Then the fight started.
I love that.
I love that stereotypical humor.
Guy, I got another one.
Got another one.
Man and woman go to bed.
Man and a wife go to bed.
Guy says, You know, honey, it's been a long time.
How about we wait gloves?
And I don't feel like it.
He says, mind if I call some friends.
Then the fight started.
Phone number 800-282-288-2.
Update, ladies and gentlemen, on the uh Afghanistan elections.
The uh uh runoff election Afghanistan November the 7th.
It will probably take several weeks to count the ballots in Afghanistan.
I mean, we're dealing with a seventh century country over there.
Uh and then after that for Karzai to form a government, all of the point of this, all of this will give Obama time to have pushed through his health care reform, which is scheduled to be before Thanksgiving.
So it looks more and more like he's afraid of ticking off his lunatic base on the left who he needs to push it through.
Anyway, McChrystal first asked for troops when the end of August?
Not sooner?
And he's not going to get an answer on this until it's too late.
Uh and if I may get serious with you for a moment.
The left, if you believe them, believes that there's one species on planet destroying it.
Now, all mammals exhale carbon dioxide, but somehow only man, only human beings, carbon dioxide is destroying the planet.
It's only man in all of his endeavors, particularly capitalist man, Western culture man, those are the culprits.
These we are the real culprits.
We are destroying the planet.
The one species on the planet.
That's destroying.
Why does the left think this?
I'll tell you what I think.
We, human beings, are the only species who have the capacity to know and understand the concept of God.
No other species has the slightest clue.
A fish doesn't even know it's in water.
A dog doesn't know it's a dog.
And who the hell knows what cockroaches think?
I don't even want to contemplate it.
To know God is something unique.
For all species on the planet's us, we're the only ones who know God who can conceive of God.
And all that that means.
Therefore, to the left, to know God is the single most destructive part of the human mind.
That's what has to be destroyed.
Faith in God, belief in God, that's the real, and there are many enemies in the left, but that's if you go to any communist country, the first thing they do is wipe God and religion out of everybody's mind.
The state becomes God, and whoever's running it at the time becomes the Messiah.
There is no God other than the state.
See, God put us here to procreate to experience his gifts.
The left, in order to ultimately succeed, has to end our understanding of God's existence and purpose.
Therefore, we're not going to fix this economic mess until we fix our moral mess.
Our country isn't a moral shambles.
And until we fix the moral destruction that has crept over our culture, we're not going to be able to really fix anything else.
And when you start talking about fixing the moral mess, then you really cause the left to rise up and come after you.
So you strip all this stuff away.
What's at the root of it is a belief in too many people in something other than the state.
Something other than the government.
If you strip away God, because everybody, a human being has to believe in something, a higher power, a human being has...
Even atheists, they've got something that has a higher power.
It's a tree or whatever.
To be another human being, it could be an institution, the human beings put together, but there's got to be something.
If you strip God out, it has to be the state.
And so that's what's happening.
That's really at the root of this.
Back to the phones now.
Nancy in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Um, thanks for taking my call.
I just wanted to tell you, since uh Peter Jennings uh kept talking about the elite Republican Guard during the first uh Gulf War.
I turned to you and have been a boy a member ever since.
Well, thank you very much.
Uh, what I am tired of hearing is about the uh brilliant campaign that Obama ran.
Um, I think that someone sitting on a couch like Phoebe could have ran the campaign Obama ran, and if the media and the movie stars kept uh raising him up to be the second coming, anyone would have won that election.
Now, I'd be the first to admit McCain didn't do such a terrific job.
But had the coverage been anywhere near fair, I think McCain would have had a fighting chance, even though I admit his campaign was mediocre.
I mean, what they did to Sarah Palin was nothing less than cruel.
I mean, did anyone who called her stupid listen to Caroline Kennedy talk?
Did anybody hear her?
I mean, it was pathetic.
The woman had a college education from a prestigious college.
I mean the woman sounded like a raving idiot.
But of course she was a Kennedy and a Democrat and a liberal.
But I have four sisters who are in their eighties and they only listen to the major news network.
And every time I said to my sisters how they were pushing Obama, she'd say to me, Oh, but Nancy, they never say anything about Obama.
They'll never tell you to vote for him.
And I said, yes, but did you hear he said he's gonna visit all fifty-seven states?
Did you see what happened when his teleprompter went down as he stumbled over his words?
Did you hear him on the view when they told him when they asked him if he sexy or he was related to Brad Pitt as they crucified McCain?
And you can't prove to these people that you don't have to say anything positive if you never say anything negative.
I've even heard on my fox, my favorite network, people talk about what a brilliant campaign he ran.
Nonsense.
You don't need a brilliant campaign when everybody's pinning medals and kudos all over you.
And I am so friggin'.
Let me uh let me let me jump in here because this is uh I this is another one of these things.
I don't know what to say.
The media is who they are.
All I can do is say, yep.
Damn media screw them.
We hate the media.
What are we gonna do about it?
What are we gonna I mean?
Yeah.
Let me go back to this Richard Cohen piece.
I kind of glossed over it a half hour ago, but let me he talks, he starts out writing about an HBO documentary he saw by the people, the election of Barack Obama, which is The product of many months of behind the scenes access to Obama during the campaign.
It reveals that Barack Obama is pretty close to the most perfect person you'll ever get to know.
This is what he does not do in the course of the primary and general election campaigns.
He does not lose his temper.
He does not curse.
He does not follow a pretty woman with his eyes or sneak a smoke.
He does not dress sloppily.
He's always calm, always good natured.
He gets emotional only once when his grandmother died.
Even at a campaign event in North Carolina, he expressed his love and gratitude.
He cried in watching it, I did too.
I cried also at the very end of the documentary when African Americans, one of the final campaign events, cried at the imminence or the reality of his victory.
But election night in this documentary is anticlimactic, a contained, pallid fizz of emotion.
Usually a picture is worth a thousand words.
These pictures, mainly of Obama's closest aides, have nothing to say.
If these aides have a sense of history, they're keeping it to themselves.
What's striking about this inside look at Obama is how being inside gets you nowhere.
Virtually the same as being outside.
What's also striking about this movie is its lack of arc.
Obama's always golden, always gonna win, always does.
His issue is himself.
He is something new, something young, something biracial, something black, but he is not something from a political or ideological constituency.
He is adored by his fans.
Not for something he's done, but rather for something he is.
So far, that's been a weakness in Obama's presidency.
In a conventional movie, the hero has to change.
Something has to happen, but nothing happens with Obama.
Does any of it matter, or is it merely interesting?
If Obama ends the deepest recession since the Great Depression, if he enacts health care reform, if he succeeds in Afghanistan, then his presidency will be remarkable.
He's basically saying Obama started out as a blank slate and still is.
You can still paint whatever you want on this campus.
He's an empty suit, and he's admitting here that the press constructed this figure for us.
Got some sound bites that I want to get in here, but first, ladies and gentlemen, I want to take you back to Friday.
I told you that I thought I was coming down with a cold.
You remember this?
I remember this.
And I really felt like I was.
I mean, I have watery eyes and a scratchy throat and and tired.
Uh no, because I had a I had a big weekend plan, so I got up that Friday morning.
I took it.
I'd been taking it earlier in the week, too, so I thought it was coming on.
And I took it all day Friday, Friday night, and here I am, and I have zero symptoms.
Took Zygam.
Took Zycam.
It comes in all kinds of new uh forms, a variety of forms and flavors.
Zycam cold remedy uh doesn't just mask symptoms, it uh it actually reduces the time you're sick.
And I am walking proof, well, sitting proof of it now.
I am sitting proof.
And it worked this time for me because I caught it early enough.
New forms uh like uh liqualaws that reduces the duration of a cold plus helps uh relieve a sore throat.
Uh Zycam's all over the place, all kinds of stories.
Go find the kind that works best for you, or go to Zycam.com for more information.
And uh check out the new uh uh variety of uh forms and flavors that Zycam now comes in.
I it's uh it's an amazing product, and it works, and I am a walking testament to it.
Here's Harry Reid yesterday afternoon on the Senate floor.
Republicans will do everything in their power to stop reform this time, because for many on the other side, there will never be a good time to reform health insurance.
As former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said a few days ago, and I quote, sometimes people fight you just to fight you, end of quote.
That might be true, but it won't be tolerated.
Congress will not be sidetracked by those who devise strategy only to trip up progress rather than to contribute in good faith.
And this country has no place for those who hope for failure.
I think he's threatening me again.
This country has Well, Dingy Harry, I think you better move because the last time I sir I looked at it, you wanted us to fail in Iraq, and you had proclaimed it a failure.
You wanted George W. Bush to fail all over the place.
Pelosi did too.
The last I looked, you people ought not be living here.
If the country has no place for people who hope for failure, you are walking personification of it.
And they've got their fists clenched out there, folks.
And uh they come after me either by name or not by name.
Eric Massa.
Ah, never mind.
He's on a lib radio.
Uh it doesn't matter.
He's uh isn't it it's gonna be overrun.
Never mind.
Uh see what else they got here?
All right.
Uh back to the phones.
Uh Neil, I'll find some here.
I just guy is on a liberal radio show.
I'm never going to talk about it.
He's basically saying that Obama doesn't have a plan.
It's a Democrat Congress in New York.
Obama doesn't have a plan.
Big deal.
I said that.
Neil, Charlotte, North Carolina, welcome, sir.
Glad you waited.
You're on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, I heard you talking a while ago about never hearing about a uh PAZAR.
And I hadn't either until I was talking to my father-in-law, and he told me about a uh man named Leon Henderson back in uh uh FDR's time, an executive order uh by FDR created what was called the Office of Price Administration.
Leon Henderson, my father-in-law's friend, became the head of that division uh of the OPA, and he was dubbed the price czar by the media.
And uh the interesting thing was the OPA was actually used to help control and regulate uh resources during wartime, trying to stave off inflation inflation, but it actually morphed into uh what government normally does, an overreaching arm.
And in 1942, October 2nd, the Office of Economic Stabilization was responsible for get this, controlling wage levels and regulating food prices, and basically generally stabilizing uh the cost of living.
But the problem that stemmed from that was the government outreach.
Uh talk about uh big brother in uh 1943 alone, six hundred and fifty thousand investigations into private citizens for non-compliance and six hundred and eighteen thousand violations in 1943 and 44.
Uh so the government chased these people down.
Well, you know, I didn't know all of that.
I'm not surprised because it didn't work, and we came out of it, and uh a lot of those policies were repudiated.
And it's true that we've had wage and price controls tried a couple of times.
I remember Nixon did it.
Nixon did it when in when inflation was uh three percent.
Inflation was three percent wage and price controls, and they never work.
They never work.
Um look at this guy does fashion himself as a modern day FDR.
There's no question about that.
And those are interesting facts that you uh that you cited.
But I'll tell you something.
What what Obama's doing with all of these czars, particularly the PAZAR, is a little different than wage and price controls.
Uh wage and price controls are slapped, you know, all over the country, and they are by definition temporary.
They're to control an emergency at the moment, ostensibly.
And what Obama's doing is buying companies.
Obama is nationalizing companies and then telling people what in those companies what they can and can't earn them.
It's a pure definition of um of fascism.
But there are, I I agree with you, there are a lot of similarities, which, by the way, uh offers a lot of reasons for hope.
Because when we came out of that, and uh, of course it took a world war, took a world war to uh to to get us out of that kind of stuff.
But the country did not fall into dictatorship.
The country did not fall into tyrannical control.
FDR tribe, but it didn't fall to that.
Well, I know we're still living I know we're still living with it, but we haven't succumbed to it, is the point, and we're not gonna succumb to this.
Now I've gotten some emails from Russ, you're really depressed to me today.
I'm not feeling like just checking out.
Let me tell you something, folks.
I happen to be depressed.
I happen to be the foul mood today, and I'm not one of these people who come in here and go, hey, hey, Harry Wonderboy and agree that I've just I'm not normally I'm up in a bullion, but today I'm just in a foul mood.
All this stuff is just is getting to me.
But I I don't think they're gonna win.
It just you know my my frustration centers around uh the lack of organized opposition to it.
And that's gonna have to happen at some point.
This this the future of this country will be determined in November of 2010.
And we've already learned today, given what they've what they've done to Kinston, North Carolina, they are counting on election fraud big time.
They know at the White House that they're in big trouble.
They can read the poll numbers.
They know what the mood of this country is.
That's why there is in a sprint to get all of this stuff done before 2010, but it won't be enacted until after 2010, and some of it not till after 2012.
After Obama runs for re-election.
That's why 2010 is a crucially important time for for that that's that's where ultimately this is going to be stopped.
But no, the Tea Parties weren't for naught.
The town hall meetings, they were not for naught.
They weren't worthless.
You've still got democracy.
Let's play this soundbite from nine.
This is Eric Mossy.
He's on a liberal talk show.
And uh, let's say there's a fill-in host.
I never heard of the fill-in host, so I'm not gonna mention the name.
Senator Kent Conrad's still pushing the idea of co-ops.
Is that dead in the water?
What's the point of talking about it?
The Senate bill and the House bill are on different planets.
And they're on different planets because as much as I want this administration to succeed, they did not present a piece of legislation to the United States Congress.
We still don't have a piece of paper that says what his plan is.
So we're kind of like pilots flying in blind.
Now, this is uh again, Eric Massa, who is a Democrat uh from New York, a member of the House of Representatives.
So it indicates there's some frustration out there, and I'll tell you what the frustration is.
These guys are gonna go stand for reelection next November, a week, a year from now.
And they're the ones having to put their names and their and and their reputations on these myriad plans.
Meanwhile, the great emancipator, Barack, sorry, the Messiah, Barack Obama sits up there gifts to play Mr. Perfect all day long and bring in Earth, wind, and fire, grab Air Force One and take the family up for dinner and for dates and so forth, and be treated like there's never been a human being like him, and he gets to escape all the heat for it.
So there's there's no question of some Democrats are a little, hey, where's his plan?
We got five plans, these two plans are on different planets.
Meanwhile, we're all on the hail bop comet, while the health care plans are on two different planets.
And he's saying, I don't know where we're gonna come to any agreement here, and we're not gonna come to an agreement on these two different plans unless Obama tells us what he wants.
And he's not gonna do that.
Not now with his poll numbers shrink.
It it's just not gonna happen.
So these guys are starting to say, wait a minute, we know we we want to sink or swim on this when you know he's gonna get the credit for it, we're gonna get the blame.
So look at these these guys are playing defense.
The White House, they're playing defense.
This is not none of this was supposed to happen.
Obama was supposed to get health care in August before August.
There was supposed to be universal acclamation, whatever you want, Barack, it's yours from everybody in the country.
There was not supposed to be this opposition.
And now look what they're doing, going after me, going to Fox News, talk radio.
Uh they're their colors are showing.
And they are not pretty.
We'll be right back.
Stay with us, folks.
Yeah, in addition to all this other rot gut going on out there today.
I'm looking at a list of new taxes that the Obama administration and Congress are well on their way to passing, by the way.
And keep in mind that all of this is from a president who said he would not raise taxes on anybody making less than 250,000 dollars a year.
Here's a simple one.
Increase in taxes on packs of cigarettes from 39 cents to a dollar.
And then you factor in the energy tax being discussed in the form of uh cap and trade where fossil fuels are used.
And then there's the increase.
Did you know about this in the death tax to 45% on family farms and businesses?
That's in Obama's budget.
You didn't know about that.
And then there is the uh inevitable 6% tax in a much discussed government-run health care in our future.
But that's not the complete list.
This is just a partialist comes from Askheritage.org, the Heritage Foundation.
They have analysts, economists keeping a running total of these mounting increases, so their members can see it.
It's just one of many reasons to become a Heritage Foundation member and get this information and analysis.
And it really is the best that you can find of its kind.
It starts when you go online to AskHeritage.org.
I, my friends, am a proud member in good standing.
They could have comped me.
You know, I'm a powerful, influential member of the media.
They could have comped my membership, but I don't accept comps.
I paid for my membership, like I pay, sometimes dearly for everything.
So join me.
Join hundreds of thousands of members of the Heritage Foundation today.
Just go to Askheritage.org.
All right, here's installment two of the CNN stalker, Carol Costello.
She's the beat reporter, assigned to me a portion of her report on anger on the air.
President Obama said this back in January.
You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.
It was talking as if talk radio wields power over politician.
Well, does any talk show host have that kind of power?
No one wields that political club more effectively than Rush Limbaugh.
Influential, sure, but powerful?
Some say even with Limbaugh's vast audience, no.
According to Talkers Magazine, 56% of those who listen to talk radio identify themselves as independent.
Limbaugh endorsing a candidate for president is not sufficient to get that person nominated by a Republican Party.
Case in point.
But McCain did win the GOP nomination in 2008.
And despite Limbaugh's anti-Obama talk, Barack Obama became president.
All right, so I'm I'm not influential.
I have no real power.
I I didn't like I didn't like McCain or Obama, and they both won.
So why is CNN assigned Carol Costello to stalk me?
You know what are they what are they so afraid of?
And you know, Carol, if you'd have watched the Today Show interview uh last Monday and Tuesday, you would have seen me talk about this whole concept of power that you have assigned to me.
As I as I listen to this, I think if Huckabee and McCain get the nomination, a good chance the party's finished.
It is finished.
Party's in deep trouble.
Uh Obama became president.
Yeah, but there was nobody to vote for.
Anyway, I just that's the latest in their installment of Anger on the Air.
Stalker reporter Carol Costello.
El Cajon, California.
John, you are on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, first time caller Rush.
Hey, um, if these guys, if you went away, they'd be out of work.
Um, all these news organizations that uh have people going after you.
It'd be their worst nightmare.
Yeah, I had a quick comment.
They'd lose half their own audiences talking about.
They if if I didn't exist, they'd have to invent me.
Yeah, I was gonna say, as far as the stimulus goes, though I think it's doing great, because yesterday the White House says they created or uh saved thousands of teaching jobs in our colleges and schools, and I'm just wondering if uh Jennings was in charge of the hiring or how that all went about.
And they couldn't say what kind of new jobs were created or anything.
It was just uh, you know, a dog and pony.
The bottom line is it's 30, 30,000 jobs were saved.
We've lost seven million big whoop.
By the way, CNN, I want you to hear this.
Charles Crowhammer, I want to thank Charles Crowhammer.
This on Fox News last night.
He's talking about CNN.
CNN is an organization that few weeks ago had uh fact checking of a Saturday Night Live skit that was mildly critical of Obama, but did no fact-checking on wildly grotesquely libelous racist statements allegedly made by Rush Limbaugh, which were not made by Rush Limbaugh.
It gives you an idea of the difference in how they treat things, and that's not a matter of sloppiness, that's a matter of ideology.
And I would think that thank you, Charles, very much.
Uh that's twice he's commented on this.
He that last Friday night I didn't know this until recently.
He said the NFL owes me an apology, which I think they do, but Carol Costello, you need to fact-check your own reports, and you need to investigate your own network.
I mean, you got a sewer there, and until you guys investigate yourselves, nothing's gonna change.
All right, folks, I have to go.
I'm gonna go to the golf course, the first one I can find, and I'm just gonna smash every golf ball in front of me as far as I can, and pretend I got pictures of Obama and Harry Reed on there.
And I gotta record the morning update as soon as this program is over, and you've got to have a video podcast of it ready in about a half hour.
You gotta hear this one.
This is just I'm not gonna be able to get through this in one take without blowing my gasket.
So, have fun.
See you back here on Hump Day tomorrow.
