Time Text
No, I'm just trying to make Mitch McConnell smile.
I'm just trying to a little telepathy here.
I'm laughing here, folks, and then I get Mitch to smile.
He's on Fox over there.
No, I'm laughing.
The Daily Cause did this stupid, idiotic poll about Republicans.
Questions just this silly.
And now the media's picking up on it.
And that's what's funny about it.
I'll explain it here just a second.
Welcome back, folks, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute.
Great to have you here as we meet and surpass all audience expectations every day.
The telephone number 800 282882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
We have really had an amazing couple of weeks.
When you stop to think about it, we have had the unraveling of the global warming hoax.
The fake science from front to back, the reduction of temperature monitors, the misuse of data, the hiding the decline data, the accepting of anecdotal opinions from environmentalist WACOs as scientific papers that be included in the IPCC report, in which they won a Nobel Prize.
We have the study done on the MME vaccine pulled as misleading after 20 years.
And all the previous studies on abstinence education says a success.
And look at so many pillars of liberalism are crumbling right before our very eyes, including all of liberalism itself.
It's on full display.
Under the uh guidance, if you will, of President Obama and his looney tune buddies over in Congress.
It's now there plain as day for everybody to see what liberalism gets them.
But you know, this MME thing, this this is this is big.
I've I I have not gone through the vaccination process because I do not have children, but I know that people who do it's a big decision to make, it's a big one, and of course, there are all these celebrities out there, all of these Hollywood types who've gotten this notion started that vaccines cause autism.
And it's been found that that does not happen.
This has been a 20-year lie that has now been recanted in the mo in the in the magazine Lancet, which is a highly respected uh medical journal, uh peer review, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And we find out it's worth as much as any of these global warming things.
And Greg Gutfeld writing on Big Hollywood.
So, the Lancet, British medical journal named after a really sharp object, retracted a horrible study attempting to link the measles vaccine to autism.
Now, this would be really great news if the study had not come out all 12 years ago.
It's really scary.
It took a medical journal over a decade to admit what nearly everybody else with a working brain knew.
The study had more gaping holes in it than Tom Sizemore's septum.
This is Greg Guttfeld, he's uh red eye host on Fox at 3 a.m.
You know who Tom Sizemore is, Don.
You know he's a comedian, actor, well, as an actor.
He's had bouts in and out drug addiction.
The septum is the nose.
You can put it together.
Okay.
Sadly, although the study author has also been discredited for this harmful crud, it doesn't matter.
People who believe in junk science will continue to believe in junk science because their egos won't allow any other option.
And so they will continue preaching to parents a dangerous and false belief.
It ends up killing kids.
I speak of Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carey, and all the saps at the Huffington Post, who, by their own earnest idiocy, misled the public into skipping vaccinations because they thought it would lead to autism.
The potential result?
Measles outbreaks all over the country, all over the world, and ultimately dead kids.
It's hard to make jokes about that, so Gutfeld writes he won't.
But I will make jokes about gas bags like Carrie and McCarthy, two Cretans who can't be content simply making us sick to our stomachs with their work.
They also got to make our kids sick With ego-driven medical advice.
Now, I'm not a celebrity, but here's my medical advice for this sort of behavior.
Whenever a star offers an opinion on important health matters, citing flawed studies that they know a nearly comatose Larry King won't bother checking.
They should be given a vaccination of their own.
It should be full of lead and shot straight up their rear end.
Greg Gutfield.
And if you disagree with me, you're probably Ariana Huffington.
Pulling no punches.
You know, this reminds me of.
Remember.
See if you remember this snarkly.
It was it was on 60 minutes, and this was probably in the late 80s or early 90s.
The guest, being profiled in 60 Minutes, said, veritably shouted, What are we doing to our children?
What are we doing to our children?
Right.
That was Merrill Street, and she was in the process of destroying LR.
LR is put on apples to make them red, to make them more saleable, to make them look juicier and more delicious.
And somebody put out a study that LR was deadly.
And here's another Hollywood actress that came along just because she went to, where did she go?
She went some Vassar.
By the way, I'm told that at Harvard, everybody pronounces it corpsmen, folks.
They have a different way of doing things in the Ivy League.
I'm told at Harvard, uh Obama was taught to refer to military corpsmen as corpsmen.
So I but you know he never refers to the press corpse like I do.
But he called these people corpsmen.
They do that at Harvard, I'm told.
So here's here's Merrill Street coming along.
What are we doing to our children?
And and we had we had apple growers from the state of Washington call here.
They were in the process of having their businesses destroyed.
And it was not true.
It was all it was all a hoax.
And I'll never forget this was either late 80s or shortly thereafter, early 90s.
But uh Jane Fonda and uh Jessica Jessica.
Ah, metal block.
No, no, it's Jessica.
I can't remember she'd these two women had portrayed Jessica Lang, that's right.
I keep wanting to say Jessica Lynch, and that was the uh young military baby rescued uh liberally.
Uh yeah, Jane Fonda, Jericho Lang, uh uh uh whatever, had played farm wives in a movie about how tough it was to be in agriculture these days, and they were called up to a Senate committee to testify.
And they're doing the same things to plastic now.
And this is liberalism on parade, folks.
This is exact, they just set out to destroy things.
Uh based on nannyism, you're too stupid to know what's good for you.
So stop and think about this.
I mean, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, really, I mean, now Jenny McCarthy has a kids, not carries, they live together now, but I mean.
You know, going on television and urging people do not get the measles vaccine because it could give your child autism and now 12 years it took them to retract this.
At the Lancet.
Now, this is this is what I was laughing at when the uh when the program theme was playing.
The Daily Cause recently released an odd poll of Republican voters, and now the politico and other liberal organizations are trying to use the results to churn waters that are actually relatively calm.
And the GOP had better not bite.
Fresh off the liberals getting thumped in Virginia, New Jersey, and most recently Massachusetts, the left is now in full-fledged panic.
And they're doing all they can to quickly blur the obvious teachable moment, and that is that the GOP can win by boldly going way to the right of the Democrats.
Don't go moderate, don't go McCain, go conservative.
That's what wins.
This is actually something that liberals inherently know and they fear it, and they have known and feared it since at least 1980.
Reagan proved it.
They have run scared of the Republicans ever since figuring this out.
That's why they're constantly lying about Reagan and tax cuts and what happened to the budget.
You want to talk about Reagan's budget deficits today?
You want to talk about, oh yeah, you would have thought that we were going to die with Reagan's deficits listed to Democrats and the media back then.
Reagan never came close to even dream.
Reagan never had a budget that was a trillion dollars.
I don't think Reagan had had a budget that hit a trillion dollars.
But I don't I I it's gonna be close.
But Obama's budget deficits are a trillion and a half every year.
So they're they're panicked, and they're doing everything they can to scare Republicans into not doing what's going to win.
It explains their never-ending disingenuous PR campaign to keep Republicans in mortal fear of upsetting moderates by doing something rash.
Uh I mean, these would be the very same independents that rejected the honorable campaign of John McCain by 21 points.
Let's not forget that.
These same independents that are running in droves to any Republican candidate they can now.
Came roaring back for Scott Brown, forever known as 41.
By the way, I'm told he gets Ted Kennedy's office.
You know that's gotta be some pretty palatial stuff.
And you know how these guys fight over office space.
I mean, the liberal lion probably had, you know, well, how many how many bars are there in that office?
I mean, you got that's gotta be plum real estate.
So anyway, the the questions that the politico asked were just transparently infantile.
Remember now, the results of the poll on online were then picked up by politico and others.
Here's an example.
Do you believe Barack Obama wants the terrorists to win?
Do you believe Acorn stole the 2008 election?
Do you believe Barack Obama is a racist who hates white people?
Now see, this is this is what you have to understand about polling.
It's all in the framing of the question how in the hell can anybody answer these and not sound foolish?
Which is the point to make conservatives look foolish regardless of what they say.
These kind of questions make it impossible to register displeasure with Obama's terror policies or Acorn or the impact of Jeremiah Wright on the president without sounding like a juvenile.
Mommy, mommy, box told you what king he wants a terrorist to win over the whiteys.
I can only wonder if the erudite David Brooks will have the mental dexterity to see through this brilliantly diabolical plot.
I rather doubt it.
In fact, Brooksy will look at this and probably buy it hook, line, and sinker.
It'll validate his elitist snobbish disregard for the conservative base.
But he and his ilk are the foolish ones.
Here's three more questions.
Should the public school students be taught that the book of Genesis, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, women work outside the home.
Are marriages equal partnership?
If Republicans want to leverage Scott Brown's Massachusetts victory into a November electoral avalanche, they'll need to keep their base riled up, but not too riled up.
So it was 2,000 Republicans.
It paints a picture of a base that's angry, disaffected, acutely hostile to President Obama.
So that's fine and then what they then did, and this is why this is a teachable moment.
The Republicans better ignore this.
After they picked this up at the politico, the politico went out and interviewed John McCain and Susan Collins and asked them what they thought of the poll, which of course gives the poll credibility.
No Republican should have had a thing to say about this.
It's about what we have said for years, this teachable moment.
The drive-by media is desperate to push the Republicans into being moderate.
Because they lose when they go that route.
Just ask McCain.
The liberals know sometimes I think better than we do that conservatism, well arched articulated, wins elections.
It wins every damn time it's tried.
They know it better than our own party does.
The daily cost, the politico, the Democrats in general are scared to death, and that's what's behind this ridiculous poll of Republican voters.
Just hogwash.
But I don't know.
With McCrazy.
McCain and Collins out there answering the questions about this.
It lends it.
Credence.
No other Republicans better fall for this.
I was a I did not mean McCray was.
I misspoke.
I apologize.
I I I retracted.
It's like using the R word.
I didn't mean to say that.
Wait a minute.
Let's do let's do 2829 before we go to the phones.
I just got a note from a friend who said, Rush, uh, it's not just the R word which uh which needs to be banned or dropped.
The there's a T-word associated with this too.
Tard.
Uh this it's slang, and it's in the urban dictionary.
The defin I'm just gonna read the definition of tard to you in the urban dictionary.
Adjective used to describe one so retarded they do not deserve the R E. That's so if Obama if if if Emmanuel is gonna start pulling the word from legislation, that's what it says snurdly.
It's in the urban dictionary.
So I'm just I'm trying to be helpful to the administration here because they want to they want to pull the word and drop it from as much uh uh uh of of the of the charted uh language that we have.
Okay, uh part of uh my letter to Obama last week said this while in Las Vegas when I told him man up.
Let me be the father that you never had or never really knew.
Because I think you need some guidance.
It's time to man up.
It's time to grow up.
All right, Jake Tap today, actually, February 1st, uh, four days ago, during the White House press briefing with uh with Robert Gibbs, they had this exchange.
Isn't the whole point of being president and controlling the House and Senate to man up and make these tough decisions?
Whether in whether or not it costs you at the ballot box in November.
We're not we're the the commission.
We're not gonna do it unless we have sign-off from the Republicans.
No, no, no.
We we we're not gonna make progress unless we have signs from Republicans.
But again, Jake, there's not unanimity in one party on either way forward.
No.
Gibbs doesn't like that either.
Jake, Jake Tamper says, Man up.
So I said that on January 28th, and Jake Tapper said it on February 1st.
Okay, back to the phones.
This is AJ in Houston.
AJ, I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh make a big time diddles and happy belated birthday.
I remember the last time I saw P on that birthday album, I think it was 07 when uh we Obama was running.
And uh come to think of it, Rush.
What is there is educators?
Uh whether Jesse Jackson or somebody that said they was gonna drop the N-word and something something some some man uh he wound up using it or something.
I'm gonna have to do that.
That's right.
No, no, no.
That's exactly right.
They they they buried it.
They buried it when Jesse Jackson used the N-word.
They buried it.
But Rush, I'm gonna be nice.
Since if you say something, you'll be prejudiced, but I'm gonna say it for the Obama followers.
But uh black folks, remember I told you he sent us back 50 years, and now he got blacks divided.
Now the blacks with their hands out, I'm gonna tell them.
They need to wake up and smell the coffee because this man don't mean them no good.
And the only thing you got to do is look at is what has he done for you since he's been in the White House.
He hasn't been in your neighborhood.
I asked that question, AJ.
I asked that question recently.
What has he done for you?
What has he done for the country?
What name one thing that he's done for you?
Rush, I got a question for everybody.
Every black, uh, because I I'll be polling myself for him, and I go after him.
I say, name me five things that he's done.
They can't name anything.
Uh my uncle, I asked him.
He's a way he won the White House.
I say, but what is he doing?
I say, let me tell you something.
As a black man, I'm in my 50s, and it would be nice to know that a black man won.
But now I feel bad because the game again.
Um, they said, oh, black folks stupid, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I'm gonna be nice about it.
But now you get a chance to show what you can do, and you go and run the country in the ground like he's doing.
So what do that makes them seem like?
And I know they're gonna get mad and I don't care.
Uh it makes it seem like we're stupid, Rush.
But let me let me see if I uh understand what you're saying.
Uh-huh.
You're saying since Obama is running the country into the ground as the first black president that it's gonna make it tougher for the country to elect the second black president.
You that's got it, Rush.
Oh.
You got it.
And the thing of it is, it would have been nice if he came in there and did the right things by the country.
And you know what I mean.
Good job.
Make the economy move.
Blame George Burns.
AJ, he's creative save 600,000 jobs down from two million, but he said it's it's the stimulus package, AJ.
I mean, he's he said we would be in even worse shape if he hadn't done that.
But Rush, only thing you have to do is go to Detroit.
Go to Detroit.
My mom neared this a nightmare.
I just not too long left.
It's a nightmare.
If he saved jobs, where are they at?
What I mean, uh Rush, I'm trying to figure out where are the jobs this man saved.
And come on, go and ask them laid-off employees that gentlemen Christmas in Detroit that had jobs when George Bush left the office that don't have jobs now.
And I'm sick of every time you ask black folk what what what?
Oh, George Bush.
Oh, damn, we was in a mess with George Bush.
I'm like, hold on, wait a minute.
I got numbers.
I got hey, our economy was booming even after.
My my brother, you're fighting a losing battle.
Um, you're that's it's it's it's not it's not just the black people you're talking to.
I mean, it one of the things I think is still propping up Obama up on the likability side is that they so succeeded for eight years in demonizing George W. Bush.
But this is gonna last forever.
At some point, the likability is gonna start plunging along with the policy stuff as it already has.
Uh, great to hear from you, AJ.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh and the cutting edge of societal evolution.
By the way, I forgot there is a uh another uh use of the word tard, other than uh uh uh what the definition gave uh given in the in the urban dictionary.
Uh as in I'm tarred and I need to go to bed.
That that's the southern.
Uh that's Hillary Clinton used it that way when she channeled uh uh great uh black spiritual leader uh in the past.
Hey, no way tar.
So there are uh you gotta be careful when you use the word tarred out there.
You just make sure your audience uh knows which definition you mean.
Now, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, I showed you from Pro Flowers, they had sent us uh 100 blooms of love, and they had not bloomed yesterday.
So I put them on the on the HD Ditto cam.
Uh and I said yesterday that uh tomorrow these things are gonna open up and bloom and it'll be stunningly gorgeous.
I've got a bunch of emails today from people, so can we see them?
So here they are on the high definition ditto cam.
This is what yesterday it looked a thing like this.
I mean, you saw the colors, but the blooms are all closed.
This is the 100 blooms of love from Proflowers.com.
Now, procrastination, you know, people say procrastination is a character flaw.
Rarely gets you anywhere.
But this week, my friends, it has.
And that's because Proflowers has extended their offer to get the best Valentine's Day value through tomorrow only.
You know, I've been reminding you to make your Valentine's gift arrangements by using Pro Flowers, talking about this earlier today.

But the offer expires tomorrow.
Got to do it by Friday.
All right, back to the phones we go.
This is Marianne in Trumbull, Connecticut.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Nice to talk to you.
Thank you.
Um, I was just calling in, and it's it's funny because I actually got in the first time I called about the Toyota situation.
My husband works for Toyota on Connecticut.
And um yesterday, I I didn't hear the news yesterday.
I came home and was kind of calling him to see how things were going because it's a recall.
It's insanely crazy.
And um basically he you know tells me this is how my day went, and I it was like a a shot like in my head.
I was like, immediately I knew what was up.
I was like, Obama was like, send his henchmen out to just, you know, try and cut it off at the knees.
And I didn't know what you had said earlier about the whole protest.
Um I just thought he's trying to drum up topics for GN and you know, also they they had a recall a couple of months ago, or extended a recall on their vans that catch on fire.
So it's funny how the media doesn't like rail about that, though.
Um so yeah, I just was totally taken aback and uh really angry.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I can imagine.
I mean, you look at all these Toyotas are made in this country.
Americans make Toyotas.
There are, I think there are five Toyota factories in uh in the country.
Well, that's look, if you've I know it's hard to hear.
I know it is really difficult to hear this on the radio.
Sturdley told me this the other day.
He hears me say this frequently on the other side of the glass.
But when I was in Las Vegas, he heard it on the radio.
He said, It's just reach out of the radio and grabs you.
You can't believe it.
Well, I don't know how much more evidence people need to begin to believe that this is not an accident here.
That all of this economic destruction is not an accident.
There's nobody who has the basic minimal economic understanding who would do this under the premise of growing an economy, and secondly, would consider sticking with it after this year of abject failure and even talk about doubling down on it, wouldn't happen.
At some point, people are gonna have to accept that Obama has told the truth.
When he said his objective is to remake the country, when his objective is to redistribute the wealth.
This is happening right before our very eyes.
In fact, it won't take much longer, I think, for people to believe this.
Public policy polling, 42% of the American people say their economic situation is worse over the last year.
Forty-two percent of Americans say their personal economic situation has worsened over the last year compared to just 11% who think it's gotten better.
My guess is this 42% is low because people think they're criticizing Obama when they answer this question, yes, my situation's worsened.
And you know, people don't like pollsters to think of them as bigots.
Uh a look inside those numbers gives a good indication as to why Republicans are primed for such a good election year.
The Republicans lead 5727 on the generic congressional ballot with people who say the economy has hurt them more at the personal level since Obama took office.
That is huge.
The generic ballot, 5727 among people who say the economies hurt them more.
The personal level since Obama took office.
Among those whose situations have stayed the same or improved, Democrats lead 49 to 33.
Now, it's not going to do Democrats any good for economists to say that things are back on the right track either.
Voters make decisions emotionally rather than intellectually.
And that uh 1142 gap on whether people's personal situations are improving is gonna have to close before Democrats start looking better for the fall.
Overall, just 11% of voters rate the current state of the economy as excellent or good.
Thirty-four percent calling it fair, fifty-three percent, a majority label it poor.
There's an interesting contrast in who voters hold responsible for the current state of the economy, according to public policy polling.
By a 4742 margin, they say it falls on Bush rather than Obama, but ask specifically which party they feel is more culpable.
They picked the Democrats 46 to 39.
Which let's give these results.
Let's assign them accuracy.
Bush ain't on the ballot in November, but that big D is gonna be on everybody's ballot.
And so if the party considered more culpable for the economic disaster is Democrats by 4639.
Um it shows is that Obama's personal brand is still better than that of his party, and it helps to explain why his campaign appearances or Democrat candidates have not done much uh much to uh push them over the top.
Interesting stuff.
Uh Cherie in Valparaiso, Indiana.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm thrilled.
Thank you.
Um I heard what you said about eight million jobs lost, and I wondered if you knew that over 8.3 million illegal immigrants are currently working in the United States.
Well, I don't know what the numbers of illegals working are.
I know I the the number of uh illegals in the country is between twelve and twenty million.
Well, this was according to the Pew Hispanic research study on undocumented immigrants from back in April.
You can find it on their website.
And it just seems to me that if that is true, that the fairest, most efficient way to quote unquote create jobs would be to send the illegals home.
But remember something, Shari.
What?
Quote unquote, these are jobs the American people don't want.
These are jobs the American people refuse to do.
Well, when you're desperate, I think you might be more inclined to take uh fast food jobs.
Of course, I'm just I'm just saying, I'm just saying what the what the uh what the pro amnesty crowd says, what the open borders people say.
Yeah, well, there's an easy way to do it.
It's non-discriminatory, it's federally approved, it's called e verify, and all a business needs is a personal computer, and they can check the workers workers' legal status through the Department of Homeland Security and Social Secures, and that way legal workers, legal immigrants, and citizens of the United States get those jobs first.
I appreciate your calling on that.
Thanks, right?
I really do.
Thank you, Sheree.
We've got to go, folks.
A brief uh brief timeout here.
We'll be back and wrap up.
Fastest three hours in media.
I have been following the Dow Jones industrial average plummet today.
Uh is down over two hundred uh two oh six right now, just barely above ten thousand, ten thousand sixty-four.
It was very recent that we were up at eleven thousand or approaching eleven thousand.
And clearly there's some domestic uh politics involved here with the budget and the attack on the banks and the new bank tax.
The tax banks are paying money back they've already paid back with interest.
But an economist buddy of mine sent me this short little note, because I had I had read earlier today that uh financial experts are blaming today's plunge on Europe.
So I sent out a an all points bulletin of what the hell's going on in Europe that would cause this.
This is what I got back.
A rush, you could literally see the beginning of the breakup of the European Union now, especially the end of the Euro common currency.
It's a fundamentally flawed system, it is a failed experiment over there.
This could get really, really ugly, and we haven't seen the worst of it yet.
Then you have Austria.
Austrian banks lent billions to Eastern Europe, and they can't get paid back.
Remember, World War II started with a big Austrian bank failing back then.
That was the beginning.
And you gotta add Ireland to the list here, they're in trouble.
I mean, it's gonna it's you could literally see the monetary payment system shut down over in the EU in some countries.
It's gonna get ugly, my friend.
Fifty fifty chance the EU is gonna fall apart, the currency here too, and Obama has no clue what to do here.
None.
He's a total short sale.
That's for my economic buddy.
Here's Noah, Shreeport, Louisiana.
You're next on the program, sir.
Hello.
Major Ditto's Rush.
It's uh great pleasure to talk to you.
I wanted to talk to you a little bit about uh Rao Emanuel's sad excuse of uh of an apology and the people that accepted that uh from a father who has a special needs kid.
I I just can't imagine that that they're not calling for his resignation.
I mean, can you imagine if a Republican made this comment?
Well, I'm told that they did ultimately accept the apology.
At first they didn't, but I'm uh there was an update just before the program started that uh I saw that apparently the apology was accepted.
Well, I doubt any of these people have any skin in the game like I do.
And I'm sorry, but the only way that me and anyone else that has any kid like that can accept the apology is if it comes with his recognition.
That's what they'd be calling for if he was a Republican, and that's what I think we should be calling for from him.
Well, that's worse than using the N-word.
That's what that's what Sarah Palin does.
She called for his resignation.
Yeah, I mean, these people have no one to protect them.
Unlike, you know, black people if you call them the N-word, and you go making remarks like that about these people.
I mean, I have an uh an eight-year-old daughter who had a stroke when she was born.
She does more by noon to get five A's in the B that she gets in the second grade than Ron Emanuel has done his whole pathetic life.
It's just sorry that he can make it you know comments about people like that.
Yeah.
And and I get even matter when when they get the talking heads get it all wrong about you, because you've been nothing but a complete and total support of special needs people always on your program.
And you know, because of the comments you made yesterday, I'd like to extend an invitation to you to talk for Chasta, which is a children Heming Pleasion Stroke Association that we belong to.
It's a it's a support group for parents that have kids like this because you've just been nothing but supportive all the time.
Thank you for like him to spend that.
Thank you for that.
I I appreciate that.
I I um I was just highlighting and amplifying what Emmanuel said because the this the mainstream media was trying to bury it.
And now here they are trying to shuffle it off on me today, which I knew they would also do.
That's so true.
God bless you, Noah.
Thank you.
Thank you uh very much for the call.
Appreciate it.
By the way, you want to know what the hurry is on the Scott Brown swearing in.
The hurry is is that they're gonna be nominating the uh uh a real far radical leftist to the National uh Labor Relations Board.
And the uh Obama wants his guy, and his name is Craig Becker.
Uh and apparently uh Brown can stop it.
They can have enough votes to prevent the vote from taking place.
Obama really, really wants this, and that's why they were delaying the swearing in of Brown, and it's why the Republicans got two Browns that demand to be sworn in here.
I'm also told, now he's supposed to be sworn in just over two hours, but I'm told that they're being pressured, dingy Harry's being pressured to not go for this.
Delay it a couple days so they get Craig Becker approved to run up the NLRB.
We'll just have to see.
I said uh uh Gordon in Roanoke, Virginia.
Let me get to you first.
Hi, Gordon.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hello, Rush.
Hello, thanks for taking my call.
I was calling about the story you mentioned earlier.
The media is pushing about the fear of losing our bond ratings.
Yeah.
And I'm in Virginia.
Governor Warner, whenever he was governor of this state, used the same story to uh cause a lot of fear and actually push through a billion dollar tax increase.
And I just think that's what they're doing with this story, trying to gin up the fear.
And now that Warner and Kane are out of office, they increase their tax or uh not only do they increase our taxes and spending, now they've left us billions of dollars.
Let me ask you a question.
It's Moody is here that is threatening to lower the rating.
Well does that can Obama call up and tell Moody's what he wants him to say?
Well, I just think if it's uh if it's our family and our credit cards get high, what's the first thing you do?
You stop spending.
I don't go ask I don't try to increase my credit limit.
And I think that's what the saying that that's what we ought to be doing as a country.
Well, obviously.
I mean, that that that of course, of course, we're not doing it.
We're spending more and more and more now.
Obama is saying, uh time to get our arms round spending.
Uh, two months.
That's that's the prelude to tax increases.
Is Obama saying uh we can't continue this kind of spending, as though he's had no role in it.
Look, I gotta run here, Gordon, because I am uh sadly uh out of precious broadcast minutes.
We'll be back.
We'll wrap it up right after this.
Snurdly, you said it.
You asked me earlier today.
So every day.
We cannot get away from this guy.
Do we never get a day off?
Never get a day off.
Obama is going to be interviewed by Katie Courick before the Super Bowl.
Oh, geez.
What about the old adage of keeping politics out of sports?
I think I've heard that a couple of times in um in my career.
We'll be talking the Super Bowl tomorrow with a hutch.
Uh, the Reverend Dr. Ken Hutcherson from Seattle in our third hour.
Top of the third hour tomorrow.
We'll see you then, folks.
