Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
You know, they really stumped in the White House.
They can't figure this out, folks.
I have it on good authority.
The Obama administration is just stumped.
I mean, those that showed up to work today.
Do you realize the federal government is not going to work today because of snow?
It's not just the but all these local people have to plow roads, all these.
I mean, it's just I like it when the federal government's not at work.
Don't misunderstand me, but these people take any excuse whatsoever for a day off.
At any rate, this Super Bowl last night may end up being the most watched Super Bowl ever, and Obama was not part of it.
And they can't stand that at the White House.
And plus, he's gotten himself into a big mess with that pregame interview with Katie Courick.
He's in a big mess.
The Democrats don't know what the guy's doing now.
The Democrats in Congress.
Anyway, greetings, folks.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh back at it.
The Heinek Golden EIB microphone and broadcast excellence straight ahead.
Here's the phone number.
If you want to be on the program 800 282-2882, the email address, El Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I called it.
I predicted the outcome last night.
And uh poor poor Obama.
You know, I when I learned he had picked the Saints, I said I had to go in there and pick them.
I mean, I wasn't going to pick the Colts just because of Jim Hearsay.
But I had to go in there and I had I had to pick, as I told the Hutch on Friday, but I had to go in there and pick the Saints, try to counterbalance the uh the absolute disaster it was that Obama picked them.
Because Obama does nothing but pick losers.
But in yesterday afternoon, a pregame interview with Katie Courick, he did a 180, and he picked the Colts.
And right then I knew it was over.
Uh it was still an exciting game.
It was a great game, and the uh uh I loved the Audi commercial, the Audi commercial with the Green Police.
That that is the absolute funniest commercial.
But there's a post today on the Huffington, that is one of the greatest satire ads.
It makes total fun of the Green Police.
It makes total fun of the Green Nazis.
And yet, there is a guy, David Roberts of Grist, writing at the Huffington Post says it's not satire.
The ad only makes sense, he says if it's aimed at people who acknowledge the moral authority of the Green Police.
So these Looney Tune Wackos think it's a great ad.
Folks, you gotta understand something.
If you saw that we're gonna play the audio of the ad coming up here in a minute, they think this is exactly the kind of thing we need to save the planet.
They thought it was a great ad.
Now, as far as Audi is concerned, it's a great ad for Audi.
A brilliant move by Audi, because the satire appeals to both those who think going green's a scam and those who don't.
It was brilliant.
Well, absolutely brilliant, and so was the focus on the family ad.
Tim Tebow, and this this is a riot.
Everybody was expecting a preachy ad about abortion, and that's not what happened at all.
Listen to the audio.
This is the Focus on the Family ad.
Tim Tebow and his uh his mother, Pam.
I call him my miracle baby.
He almost didn't make it into this world.
I can remember so many times when I almost lost him.
It was so hard.
Well, he's all grown up now, and I still worry about his health.
You know, with all our family's been through, we have to be tough.
Timmy, we're trying to tell our story here.
Sorry about that, Ma.
You still worry about me, Mom?
Well, yeah, you're not nearly as tough as I am.
Did you see the ad, Sturdley?
Okay, what happened if you didn't see the sound effect there is Tim Tebow tackled his own mom.
It looked like, man, she just got tackled.
And then she pops right back up.
And the ad then just directed everybody to the focus on the family website, where the story would be explained.
So what do you think?
What do you think?
The reaction to this ad is today by the nags.
No.
No.
What no?
Oh, they are so livid.
Because it it glorified violence against women.
Nag president Terry O'Neill said it glorified violence against women when Tim Tebow ostensibly tackled his own mother.
She said, I am blown away at the celebration of violence against women in this ad.
That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion Message.
I there wasn't an anti-abortion message in it if you didn't know the story.
I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming.
I think CBS should be ashamed of that.
But not all pro-abort people agree it.
It's absurd to claim that this is an endorsement of violence against women, said Francis Kisling, the uh former president of Catholics for Choice.
These people came across as affectionate, loving, funny, and happy.
Exactly what nobody on the left is.
They are not affectionate, loving, funny, and happy.
They have to go through life miserable.
Violence against women, these people have become a caricature of themselves.
The nags.
Well, the Betty White ad was good.
Betty White ad was good.
But I and so you know the Lena Letterman ad caught everybody at my house.
It's only a 15-second ad, and it stopped everybody dead.
Uh because Leno, apparently last Tuesday night was snuck into Leno's Letterman's uh theater where all the guests or the audience goes on to 53rd Street to catch the guests coming out of there.
They snuck him in in a Bill Belichick hoodie to the front door of the uh the Ed Sullivan Theater, and uh they got they got Leno in there to promote Letterman's show.
And they're gonna be up against each other in the type of 15-second thing with Oprah in there playing Peacemaker.
Um that's that stopped everybody at my house.
The Audi ad, though, I mean, look, I I can't leave the nags.
I I just can't leave the nags.
Once again, just as in global warming, ladies and gentlemen, it was I, Il Rushbow, decades ago, who told you what these people really were about, who they really are, and the fact that they have never ever represented anywhere near a majority of female thinking in the country.
But they were always propped up by the left-wing media, as the spokesman uh spokeswomen, uh for spokesman, yes, but for all women.
And now they've just become a character.
Violence against the now here's here's the Audi, and this, folks, you really you really have to see this.
But the audio will suffice.
Uh may have to play it twice because there's a lot of video noise that goes along with the uh with the with the dialogue here.
But here, give it a shot.
Okay.
So it's 3708.
Uh paper plastic.
Plastic.
That's the magic word.
Green police.
You picked the wrong day to mess with the ecosystem, plastic boy.
Battery!
Battery!
Let's go!
Take the hell!
Put the rhine down!
That's a compost infection!
Uh oh!
Do you install these bulbs?
Tragedy strikes tonight where a man has just been arrested for possession of an incandescent light bulb.
What do you guys think about plastic bottles now?
The water setting is at 105 here?
Queen Diesel.
You're good to go, sir.
The Green Police are coming to the real estate.
The Green Police.
Police, police.
The Green Police.
Good afternoon, officers.
Are those foam cops you're drinking from?
Yeah.
Please step out of the car and put them on the hood.
Now, the way the ad ends, aside from that, I mean, it is just hilarious.
I just I just loved it.
And I'm I'm even I'm even more amused that the green Nazis out there think it's a great ad and that this is where we should be headed.
The people who have the moral authority, the the the eco-police are dressed just like cops, but they're driving around on a little segue uh machines and bicycles and shorts and bicycle helmets and so forth.
And they've got a line of cars stopped on an interstate because they all violate some sort of green environmental regulation, and the Audi, it's the Audi A3 TDI, the cop spots the out, oh, sir, you're good to go.
And the car speeds around all the other cars that are stopped.
I it's it's uh it's a great ad because it dared to take on political correctness.
This is a more political ad than anything to focus on the family ad is.
And I just I gotta tell you, as as one who loves satire, who is artful in it, this ad is amazing because it took a political position, and no matter what your position watching it, you think it's good.
You like it.
Audi realizes.
Well, I'm not.
It it well, the the game's what it is.
I mean, everybody saw the game.
Uh what's there to say about the game?
What do you want me to say about the game?
The No, I was I was I was well, yes, I was I was I was surprised that that the that on on fourth and one uh uh or third and one that the Colts didn't call it a plunge play.
Uh that Peyton Manning got ten different passes, gain a yard.
I yeah, there was some some things, but I mean uh the the game is the game.
Uh I I was I think the irony, this this is the irony to me, and I by the way, congratulations, people of uh of New Orleans.
This is all great thing for them.
Uh I was I was happy to see it.
But the irony of the way these things play out always gets to me.
For the past two weeks during all the hype, every sports writer, it's just like when we had that that montage of all those reporters talking about Bush's choice of Cheney as gravitas.
We had like a hundred thousand employees saying the choice was gravitas, that Bush needed gravito.
Well, for the past two weeks, we have been hearing that if Peyton Manning won this game, which would be the Colts and his second Super Bowl win, that that would make him the greatest quarterback ever.
And the Hutch even said this on Friday, launching him ahead of Tom Brady, who's won three Super Bowls, Montana, who has won four, Bradshaw who has won four.
And I th how does that happen?
Nothing against you people in Indianapolis, nothing against Manning.
I've met him a couple times and I like him.
He's a great guy, but you know, I'm I'm not a hype guy.
I'm not a conventional wisdom guy.
I I run the other way on whatever the conventional wisdom is.
And of course, the conventional wisdom here was Colts by two touchdowns, by the way, with everybody.
And and I just, you know, I I I I love uh being a Maverick.
The renegade in these things.
Plus, I was objectively analyzing it basing based on my on my look at the game.
The irony here of two weeks of hype.
Win this game.
You're the best ever.
And you throw the interception that loses the game.
Taking away the hoped for storyline of every sports reporter in America.
That's you want my take on the game, that's my take on the game.
My take on the game, my take on the news is always my take on the media.
Uh I think I read something today, and it's that fascinated me.
Uh Joe Poznanski, Sports Illustrated, lives in Kansas City.
Peyton Manning lost five games as a high school quarterback.
Three of them were state championship games.
He never won a national championship at Tennessee, lost two there against the University of Florida.
He is in his career nine and nine in championship games.
I did not know any of this.
Did not know it until I read it in Sports Illustrated today, Joe Poznanski, or Poznanski.
Um he says, why is this?
Why does this happen?
He doesn't have any idea either.
He's just putting it out there.
So, you know, the uh that that pick uh by uh Tracy uh Horner uh jumped that route.
Uh that that I'm not gonna tell you that I was sitting there at that moment in the game shouting to everybody in my room, we need a turnover.
Bam.
It happened.
I'm not gonna tell you I did that.
I'm not gonna tell you.
I did.
We need a turnover.
We need a pick.
This guy, if if the yeah, we're down to three minutes left, they're marching.
Down by seven, yeah, they came in a blitz.
And yeah, that was it was uh I don't know.
I I I just I another thing I don't understand.
That when they try when the Colts tried the 51-yard field goal, that kicker has not kicked anything over 50 yards since 2004.
So again, I knew this.
And so when they line up, I shout to everybody in my house, and they're in two rooms, and I shout everybody, ain't gonna happen.
No way.
There it goes.
Short, wide left.
Nothing against Matt Stover.
He was put in a position where he hasn't had any success.
Strange play call.
Go for it.
There's fourth and eleven, you're at the end of the half.
Or close to it.
And he.
No, the offside kick was fabulous.
The offside kick was great.
The offside kick is the New Orleans Saints.
Shock and awe.
That's the first onside kick that's not happened in the fourth quarter ever in the Super Bowl.
They've got a name for that play, ambush.
And the kicker had never ever kicked an onside kick in a professional game.
He's the punter and the kickoff guy.
He didn't start rehearsing onside kicks until the last two weeks.
Oh, I love that call.
I absolutely love it.
Gotta take a break here, folks.
We'll be back.
And we'll get Obama's playing games with the Republicans here.
He's playing big time games with the Republicans, and I we can't let him get away with this.
I'll tell you what we're talking about.
We get back.
Greetings, my good friends, and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh and the cutting edge.
No, I know that sturdy because I read it in Peter King's piece on Sports Illustrator today.
The name of the play is Ambush and that this kicker had never done an onside kick.
Anyway, uh great game.
And now for football fans, I mean, it is bad news.
It's it's it's there's for true football fans, there's nothing that matters until September now.
So you have to find other well, I mean some people like the combine in the draft, but I mean there's nothing to me like the season.
So anyway, uh to the news.
Yesterday in his interview with Katie Kurick, Barack Obama was asked a question.
Yesterday you said, just in case there's any confusion out there, I'm not gonna walk away from health care, but specifically, how are you gonna move forward?
I want to consult closely with uh our Republican colleagues.
So they're gonna be coming in uh to the White House next week.
And what I want to do is to ask them to put their ideas on the table.
And uh then after the recess, which will be a few weeks away.
I want to come back and have a uh large meeting, Republicans and Democrats to go through systematically all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward.
Now there have been stories all weekend long.
Obama realizes health care dead on Capitol Hill.
Obama not giving up.
He went to the DNC fundraiser over the weekend Saturday night, I guess.
Hey, we're not giving up on this gang.
The Democrats in Congress don't know what's going on.
He's provided no leadership.
He has never had a plan.
This is one thing that we must continually emphasize.
He has put it all on them.
He has demanded that they do it all in the House and the Senate.
He has never had a plan.
And they have taken the hit for that, not him.
Well, he is taking a hit in the approval numbers.
And his party is taking a hit, but he doesn't.
He hasn't suffered from it much yet.
So now they're kind of what what is going on?
The Republicans and the Republicans have got to be very, very careful here, because this is nothing more than a trap.
And the Republicans, I'm saying it right now, do not be afraid of being called the party of no if you don't do this.
Be proud of being called the party of no.
Have confidence, my fellow Republicans, that there is no way near a majority of people that want Obama's health care.
A clear majority of people do not want it, and they stopped it.
There this is no time for bipartisanship.
That was my favorite part of Sarah Palin's address, by the way, to the Tea Party Saturday night.
Bipartisanship simply means Republicans compromising their core beliefs to agree with Democrats.
There is never talk of bipartisanship with the Democrats giving up anything.
It's always everybody joining them or caving to meet them.
And this is this is a setup because Obama wants to be able to blame this on the Republicans when in fact it is his own party that's been saying no to itself.
The Senate Democrats say no to the House Democrats.
The House Democrats say no to the Senate Democrats.
Uh the blue dogs are saying no to everybody.
A bunch of Democrats have lost elections over this.
More will lose elections in November.
If the Republicans get anywhere near this meeting, Obama does not care about their ideas.
Obama is trying to get them on television on C-SPAN.
He's proposed a meeting at Blair House, which is across the street.
He looked to think of it as the uh as the White House guest house.
And he wants this on C-SPAN because he had to fulfill his promise that every hell every health care negotiation will be on TV.
I was I was uh encouraged to see this story just a little while ago from state controlled AP.
Republicans gave a chilly reception Monday to Obama's invitation to discuss health care in a bipartisan televised setting later this month, part of the White House effort to revive the stalled legislation.
Let me remind my dear friend Republicans.
Obama does not have a plan.
He has not presented a plan.
He does not have his own sheaths of paper that he can throw out and say, no, right here in my plan on page 2940, it says you can keep your insurance plan.
There is no Obama plan.
Negotiating with Obama is a waste of time.
All it's doing is helping him fulfill a photo op promise kept of having this stuff televised.
And it's also to set you up as the reason this didn't pass.
Obamacare reality check.
The Senate Democrats, the senators of no cannot agree with the House Democrats.
The House Democrats, the representative of no, can't agree with the Senate Democrats.
What's the result?
Obama and the Democrats want to say Republicans are the party of no.
And I'm here to tell you, wear that badge with pride and honor.
Wear the party of no to Democrat health care reform as we know it as a badge of honor and get out of the way of the support and campaign contributions that will flood your coffers.
Hi, welcome you.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network.
A brand new week of broadcast excellence.
Look, for those of you Republicans in the House and the Senate for that matter, look, the goal is to get our message out there and do it repeatedly and effectively right up to Election Day.
Do not engage Obama in staged propaganda events.
Do not do it.
I'm going to tell you what all that's going to happen here is a campaign debate.
That's all it's going to be.
It's not going to be a health care debate.
It's going to be a campaign debate.
But Obama gets to choose the talking points.
Obama gets to choose the way in which it's discussed.
And Axelrod will go out there.
Axe or Rod will tell the media in advance where it's going and tell them how to handle it all on live TV.
It'll be a replay of that summit where you had him come to visit your retreat in Baltimore.
The media said that's the day Obama turned it around.
That's the day Obama turned it around.
Well, don't, please, don't get sucked into this.
Do not.
Do not get sucked into this.
True bipartisanship here is to say no.
Republicans and independents and Democrats across the country are opposed to this.
That's where the bipartisanship is if you care about it.
If you go along with this, it's ooh, ooh, it's going to be squandering such an opportunity.
And here's another thing.
A whole bunch of members of Congress cannot debate a single president.
And right now, we don't have a single political or elected leader right now to go into that meeting with Obama.
The Democrats and the left do.
It just makes no sense to waste time this way.
The goal has to be victory, not getting along with this guy and helping him advance this plan to destroy this country.
He's not going to be persuaded to open up to competition and to embrace uh embrace individualism or private property.
But he's not going to, he's not going to, he's not going to be open to embracing anything you're doing.
Any idea.
It will be folly to go up there and present the ideas.
Have I made my point about this?
Now imagine you're a Democrat.
Here is Obama speaking about private health insurance last Friday.
And it may be that if Congress decides we're not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not, the president said.
And that's how democracy works.
There'll be elections coming up, and they'll be able to make a determination and register their concerns.
He's talking, he's he's he's he's like a spoiled brat complaining to Congress for not getting his little bill passed.
Well, where do you wait?
There's gonna be elections coming up, there'll be an election, and you're gonna send that democracy work to send you packing.
That's what he means.
Now imagine the collective chill that shot up the spines, if you can find them, of every Democrat across the country when they heard that.
After New Jersey, after Virginia, after losing the Kennedy seat in Massachusetts.
Obama promises to push this career killer and says Americans will have a chance to register their concerns at the ballot box, and he's continuing this charade that if they don't pass his bill, and he doesn't have one, folks, he does not have a plan.
He's not written it.
If they don't pass his plan, they're gonna lose.
And so now to further taunt them, he's asking for a meeting with the Republicans.
Now, in uh Politico on February 5th, this is before either of these announcements that Obama made is this story in the political Democrats chafe as White House waivers on health care.
President Obama has left the Democrats as confused as ever about how he plans to deliver a health care reform bill this year after two weeks of inconsistent statements, negligible hands-on involvement, and a sudden shift to a jobs first message.
Democrats on Capitol Hill and beyond say that they have no clear understanding of the White House strategy, or even whether there is one.
And they're growing impatient with Obama's reluctance to guide them toward a legislative solution.
At a White House meeting with uh Thursday with Obama and Dingy Harry.
Nancy Pelosi expressed frustration with the slow pace of negotiations and the president's decision not to weigh in publicly on a path forward, according to a Democrat source familiar with the meeting, and some Democrats feel that every time they look to the White House for clarity, they hear something different.
And you probably heard last week that uh Al Franken behind closed doors ripped into Axelrod for this very thing, not giving us any guidance.
You guys are letting us sink or swim up here.
What's the president's plan?
So the president comes out, taunts them yesterday with this meeting with the Republicans.
Yeah, I'm interested in your ideas.
I'm interested in your idea.
Well, he's not, but imagine.
So to rub to rub a little salt in the wounds, Obama then condescends by displaying, explaining how democracy works.
And that's where he said I want to come back after the congressional recess have a large meeting.
Republicans and Democrats go through systematically all the best ideas that are out there.
Uh you don't have to have a meeting.
This is what statists do.
They have meetings.
They have meetings on jobs, they have meetings on several ready jobs.
They have meetings on they don't do anything.
They just have meetings.
And then they bring TV cameras, the meeting is supposed to suffice for doing something.
It's community agitator 101.
You never solve anything.
You don't solve anything, no solutions.
Community agitators are not leaders.
Leaders have solutions.
Obama's not that.
He's just agitating.
You don't need to do a meeting.
You could do a quick internet search and get specifics on everybody's ideas on health care.
He's got all the research people he wants in the White House, send them out to Google.
To pretend the Republicans have been hiding their plans on health care in Al Capone's vault.
Now, I mean, well, Haraldo opened it up and it was empty.
To assume the Republicans are hiding their ideas in Al Capone's vault.
I mean, that's weak, folks.
Obama continues to encourage Democrats to commit political suicide.
That is what he's doing here.
And I I think the Republicans just need to stand out of the way.
It's the old when your opponents committing suicide, get the hell out of there.
You can't help it along.
Get out of there.
You're not even going to score points if you go up there and say, Mr. President plan's not going to work, we want to do this.
Because it's not going to go that way.
You do that, and he's just gonna he's just gonna get soundbite after soundbite how you're obstructing.
And right now it is the Democrats who are saying no, and you've got to let that remain the fact.
You don't want to give him a soundbite with you in the room saying, him saying that you're saying no.
So anyway, uh let's see.
And here you know the the uh the morning bell from the Heritage Foundation has a has a uh good take on this.
Right before the Stuper Bowl, President Obama spoke about health care reform with CBS's perky K. Cork.
And it's played the bite for you want to come back, big meeting and so forth.
According to AIDS, the president envisions a half day meeting on February 25th, televised by C-SPAN.
Obama's conciliatory rhetoric aside, everybody knows this publicity stunt has nothing to do with actually considering conservative health care reform ideas and everything to do with the appearance of transparency and bipartisanship.
New York Times.
In making the gesture on Sunday, Mr. Obama's in effect calling the hand of Republicans who had chastised him for not honoring a campaign pledge to hold health care deliberations, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
New York Times take.
Oh, cool.
So Obama brilliantly chastising.
The reality is, Democrats have no intention of including conservative ideas this late in the game, or at any time in the game.
They're not going to do it.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
We will continue.
No, the White House continues to operate on the assumption that the American people would support the plan.
It's just that Obama hasn't explained it well enough.
The American people have a great idea what's in this plan from across the political spectrum, and they don't want it.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
I tell you what, this televised Hail Mary that uh that Obama is seeking here with uh Republicans.
House and Democrats, one problem with the stunt is that it it puts it puts Obama in an elevated position to Congress on an issue he's already lost with the American people.
It's like throwing him a lifeline.
He's man overboard on the SS big time cruise ship, and they're throwing him a lifeline.
Ought not happen.
We're dealing with co-equal branches of government here.
Obama wants to make it appear that the Congress is subservient to him.
And he can't even make his Democrats subservient to him.
So by the way, you know, the the Republicans have made no secret of the fact that they have health care plans and been waving them at him all the time, but he's running around saying, oh, they don't have a plan.
Now all of a sudden he wants to hear their ideas.
It's it's uh this is a it's an SOS.
It's a bad, bad, bad move.
You know what Obama ought to do?
If he really wants to push this, come on the show and debate health care reform with me.
I mean, that's that's what if he really wants to move this forward, do that.
Who's next on the pro who's first actually?
Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
Dean, you're up first.
Great to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hey Rush, how are you doing?
Excellent to outstanding, sir.
Thank you.
Fantastic.
Hey, you already alluded to the point I was willing to make, but of course that's why you're the host.
Um I think the Republicans ought to push the concept of bipartisanship, because if you think about it, in the House, what do we have?
One Republican who voted in favor of health care, but a number of Democrats who voted against.
And on the Senate side, you had no Republicans voting in favor of health care, and you had a couple of Democrats who wouldn't if they weren't, you know, bought out by the kind of politics that most Americans despise.
Well, I know what you're saying, and it it but it's I still think it's risky to use the term because bipartisanship in the popular lexicon means working with Democrats.
Uh to use the term to say, hey, we're we're being bipartisan, you have to then explain, yeah, Republicans, Democrats, independents all oppose.
It bipartisan's a code word uh that that the media and the Democrats use.
And you just don't even mention it.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even go there.
I wouldn't even talk about the desire to be bipartisan.
I would because people are going to misunderstand it.
Republicans are going to think that their own guys are caving.
You know, some Republican guys say, we're willing to take a bipartisan approach with the president sort of explain, well, bipartisanship in this case is Democrats, Republicans both oppose the bill.
That too much detail.
The media always throws it out.
Here's what here's what the Republicans ought to do.
When the press comes up to him and says, Well, why are you so opposed to meeting with Obama to talk about his plan?
Republicans need to say, would you would you tell me what page of Obama's plan I can find his answer to people keeping their own health insurance?
Well, my point to you, Mr. Reporter, is that he doesn't have a plan.
He's got these debating plans between the House and Senate, both of which are dead.
Well, the House plan's not.
But the uh the Senate, the Senate plan is.
I there's there's no upside to this.
Zilt Zero Notta.
Randy Pittsburgh, your next EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, our Steelers will be back next year, but let's talk about the Obama thing first.
Go right ahead.
Well what was K what was CBS even doing showing him.
I'm sitting there eating my pizza getting ready for the game, and here he comes.
He gets this national platform.
Well, wait a minute.
I thought he was on track to talk about jobs in 2010.
Boom.
National platform to go right back to health care with the brilliant mind, Katie Currick, editor in chief of CBS News.
Well, look, this is not unusual.
I mean, Bush Bush was interviewed in the pregame show of Super Bowls.
Um it's not it's not unique to Obama.
And actually, although I understand your outrage and your hilarious uh regard for the brilliant mind of Katie Crook, editor in chief CBS News, I'm actually thinking the more the guys on TV in events like that, the better, because people don't want to see him here.
They don't want to see it.
Just people in my house got up and left.
They want to see it.
They don't this is and especially him.
He's he's worn out his welcome many, many, many, many moons ago.
So in this case, I don't think any damage is done.
I mean, is is uh he's not trying to sell jobs, no job, my my number one focus.
I thought that's what it was last year.
Oh no, it was health care.
But he says both.
Depends on who he's talking to.
Folks, Valentine's Day is this Sunday.
It's down now to crucial last moments.
Fortunately for you, there is pro flowers.
Now, you know, I've already taken care of my orders for Valentine's Day, but if you haven't, you're in luck because ProFlowers is delivering all weekend long, even on Sunday.
They arranged with FedEx for a first time ever, FedEx Sunday delivery.
Remember now this week, one dozen red roses or two dozen assorted roses, just 2999.
Both offers include a free base and free truffles.
That's 30 bucks you're not being charged for.
Proflowers bouquets guaranteed to stay fresh for seven days.
You can't well, I'm looking at some roses that we got last Tuesday.
Last Tuesday we got these, and it's this is seven days, and they look as fresh as they did.
In fact, some of them have yet to open.
That's how fresh they are.
You cannot lose.
Uh buy them now, get your order in and don't worry about it.
Uh exclusive radio deal for you.
800 Pro Flowers, that's 800 P R O flowers.
Mention you heard it on Rush, or go.
Better yet, the Rush ProFlowers.com.
All right.
Margie in Gilbert, Arizona.
I'm glad that you waited.
You're next on the program.
Hello.
Rush.
Yay.
Greetings to you from beautiful sunny Arizona.
No, no, here.
Hey, one more, just a lighter note here on the on the Super Bowl commercials.
The Denny's commercials.
I mean, it had me on the floor.
The lat they showed all these chickens that they're I guess they're giving away free eggs with every breakfast, but they show them on bar stools screaming, they show them in space with a silent screen.
Then the last one they show them in all these chickens in Yovolov is screaming their heads off.
And then the guy at the end, just like he did all the other ones, says, it's a great time to be an American, uh terrible time to be a chicken.
I'm going, ah, man.
Well, it worked on you.
That's good.
I mean, it wasn't a bad spot.
It wasn't a bad spot.
I just the Audi commercial to me was um Yeah, it was super.
It was just super.
I'm going to my husband, I go, did that look that was really gonna happen?
Well, I some people are scared by it.
I'm I got some emails from people.
I that that commercial unnerved me.
Yeah.
Because they think that's where the Green Police actually want to take us.
That they they that and it's true.
Being arrested for buying an incandescent light bulb.
Um, you know, using plastic and getting thrown in jail.
I mean, if you listen to these people, you could you could think that they and by the way, you know, one of these pro-eco-wacko Nazis has written on a Huff post a great ad.
Great ad.
Those of us with the moral authority to save the environment they like it.
So from but you know, from business standpoint, from Audi standpoint, it's a great ad because it could have offended half the audience, and in fact, it didn't.
It appealed to everybody, except, you know, probably some idiots out there who have never heard of global warming, but they don't care about that.
We'll be back, folks.
Sit tight.
Another round of errors found in the intergovernmental panel on climate change.
The UNN's Global Warming Group, a new round of errors.
This is what they won the Nobel Peace Prize for.
Do you know?
Who never gets mentioned in any of this is Al Gore.
We'll have details on what the new errors are, and they're hilarious.
As well, we'll get into Sarah Palin's appearance uh Saturday night at the Tea Party convention in uh in Nashville, Tennessee.
By the way, I feel very bad.
