Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
I am your highly trained broadcast specialist, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity, utilizing talent on loan from God.
Fastest three hours in meeting.
It's already the last hour on Thursday.
Shazam.
Much more of you on the phones this hour at 800-282-2882.
Herbert Meyer, great piece today in the American thinker.
Herb Meyer served with Reagan.
He was a special assistant to the director of Central Intelligence, I'd be Bill Casey, who was, I mean Bill Casey and while Bill Donovan, they were the CIA, neighborly OSS during World War II.
Also Herb Meyer, Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council, and he's written a couple things, how to analyze information and the cure for poverty.
A piece here entitled The Reestablishment of America in the American Thinker dot com.
America is on the verge of something unprecedented in history, the peaceful, constitutional replacement of our country's entire political establishment.
This is what lies behind the decisions of so many elected officials at every level to step aside rather than fight for re-election.
And it explains how the Tea Party movement can exert so much political leverage without nominating its own candidates, or even without formally choosing its own leaders.
Now, most of the time we Americans don't pay much attention to politics.
We focus all of our energy on jobs, families, and our faith.
We work hard.
We play by the rules, and we only just want to be left alone.
We love the country, we consider ourselves blessed to be living here, and we ask little from the men and women we elect except to keep from messing things up.
But in just the last decade, Americans were shocked by two catastrophes we had not imagined our political establishment would allow to happen.
The first was 9-11, when nineteen terrorists successfully attacked our homeland and by doing so revealed that for years Al Qaeda and its allies have been waging holy war against us.
The second was the 2008 financial crisis, which revealed that our economy is a house of cards built on a pile of debt so high that we cannot possibly repay it.
Republicans blame Democrats, Democrats blame Republicans.
To ordinary non-political Americans who grasp intuitively and correctly that both parties share some responsibility here, these politicians seem like children who've turned a party into a good fight.
Now, what do parents do when a children's party gets out of control?
They turn off the music, they turn out the lights, and they send everybody home, including those few who were not behaving badly and just got caught up in the melee.
Americans don't like getting tangled in the details of politics.
We prefer to stand back and see the big picture, which by the way helps explain the extraordinary appeal of Ronaldo's Magnus and Sarah Palin.
That's what they do too.
What the big picture is showing now is that our entire political establishment has failed.
These were the men and women, both Republicans and Democrats we relied upon to focus on the details, and by doing so to keep us safe from terrorists and to keep the world's most powerful economy from imploding.
And they blew it.
So we'll replace them with a wholly new establishment, some of whom will be Democrats, others may be Democrats, a few independents here and there, and we'll hope that our next political establishment will get it right.
Now, in a looming political battles, persona will matter more than policy.
As we move toward the 2010 elections, of course we'll ask candidates to outline their plans for how to improve the healthcare system and what to do about illegal immigration, how to bring down the unemployment rate, how to fight the war and all the rest, but what will determine who gets elected this year won't be a set of specific policies, but something simpler and in a way deeper.
A recognition among grassroots voters across the spectrum that character is more important than personality, that education isn't the same thing as judgment, and that expertise without common sense is dangerous.
Stand back from politics, and you'll see the same re-establishment trend unfolding in other public arenas.
Americans have decided that the mainstream media has failed.
So we are replacing the New York Times, the television news departments, and all the rest with an entirely new media, including Fox News, websites like American and Lucianne.com.
Americans have decided our country's education establishment has failed.
Our kids are barely learning to read and write, let alone taught our country's history, so we are seeing the rise of private schools, charter schools, and home schooling.
Would anybody like to bet that within just a few years we'll have a wholly new financial establishment on Wall Street to replace the greedy idiots who run it now?
The re-establishment of America is not going to be easy and will make mistakes along the way.
Some of the new people will prove to be just as worthless as the ones they replaced, and some very good people who now hold key positions in politics and the media, education, finance will be swept away by the avalanche.
That's too bad, but collateral damage is unavoidable.
No other country in history has ever attempted to replace its establishment so smoothly, so peacefully, and so cheerfully as we're doing it right now.
And it isn't likely that any other country will ever attempt something like this.
How exhilarating to realize that 234 years after our revolution, the U.S. still the most dynamic, forward-looking, optimistic place on earth.
And he concludes with boy, what an exciting time to be an American.
I would disagree with elements of this.
I do think the Democrats are going to be held much more to account for this, particularly this financial mess, than the Republicans are.
The Republicans have already been held to account.
The Republicans have already voted their guilty out.
The Republicans have already said, you guys failed us, and they gave control of the House to Pelosi.
So the big bloodletting, political bloodletting, will be on the Democrat side.
I have no doubt about it.
But nevertheless, I wanted to share this with you because Herb Meyer is writing this from a positive perspective, that all this is good and we still have the freedom to affect these changes in a peaceful way.
Now, that's his assessment of all this.
We'll see how it shapes out.
But I do think there's a revolution coming.
Huge and big time.
And it's going to be directed at Barack Obama and the Democrats.
I haven't seen a Democrat get elected in Massachusetts to replace Kennedy.
I didn't see a Democrat get elected to replace Corzine in Massachusetts.
Uh uh, New Jersey, and I didn't see a Democrat elected to be the new governor of Virginia.
And I don't see a whole lot of Republicans quitting.
I see Democrats dropping like flies, some of them changing parties.
But I don't see one Republican becoming a Democrat.
I don't see one Republican afraid of his own political future to the extent that all of the Democrats are.
Now, normally, ladies and gentlemen, when we are treated to celebrity opinions, it's always the left.
But yesterday on Fox News, America Live with uh Megan Kelly, she interviewed the um rock and roll supercrooner Kid Rock, who is from Detroit, and he's uh a conservative guy for the most part.
Lots of troop visits to entertain them, Afghanistan and so forth.
She said to Kid Rock, what do you make of the situation in Detroit, which is where he's from?
Because that's something you've grown up around.
You live in that area.
It's been rough, rough haul there.
What's your experience on the ground in Detroit?
I have nightmares sometimes that you know I'm gonna wake up.
Actually, I have a nightmare that I'm gonna wake up, everyone's driving like a Prius and living in a condo, or all getting health insurance.
Detroit was such we have so much style, you know, the cars that we built, and not only the cars, the tanks, the airplanes for World War IIs and things we did, you know, just such ingenuity, but cool stuff.
You know, a 57 Chevy.
It came in 17 colors, every one of them red, white, and blue.
So cool, and now it's like they're just trying to it's just reminds me of Europe.
Like everyone's gonna be driving a smart car and living in a condo, and that's not the American dream.
And you see it kind of starting to die, or at least it's left for a little while from Detroit or there with everything that's going on, and you know, everyone's still like, you know, wants it to come back and you know, and be present again.
Kid Rock, on with Megan Kelly yesterday afternoon on the Fox News Channel.
We have some audio updates here on what happened down there in uh in Austin, Texas.
Uh audio soundbites 24, 25, and 26.
A press conference regarding the plane crash.
Here's the Austin police chief, Art Acevedo, and uh we have three sound bites of what he said.
I can tell you categorically that there is no cause for concern from a law enforcement or a terrorism perspective.
Uh, This incident is contained, it's under control.
The one point that I need to put out is that this is an isolated incident here, that there is no cause for alarm, and that people should continue their lives as they would in the other day of the week.
I wish I were there.
I would love to ask Mr. Assavito a question.
Chief Acevito.
We were told after 9-11 that we had to take time to understand why there was so rage against us, so much rage against us uh from the militant Islamists.
Uh and even now, uh our own president uh has said that we must have policies that show the Muslim world that uh we mean them no ill will.
We're willing to try their convicted terrorists and their act well, the masterminds of 9-11 in our own civil carts to to show uh uh we mean no ill will.
Uh uh.
Will there be a similar request on the part of government officials to make sure we we show no ill um intent toward this pilot uh and maybe find out what it is that had him so ticked off?
I mean, if we're gonna spend now what ten years trying to figure out twelve years what happened at 9-11 and why they hated us so much, should we not spend some time to figure out why this guy hated Bush, hated his wife, hated the IRS, hated his accountant.
Who am I leaving off that the guy hated?
Oh, yeah, the Catholic Church.
A guy hated the Catholic church, hated Bush, hated the IRS, hated his accountant, and hated his wife.
Now, should we endeavor to understand why?
And I would uh love to ask that question.
An unidentified reporter did say, Chief, how do you know it's an isolated incident?
You know what?
You have to take me out my word now, don't you?
Uh, that's all I'm gonna tell you.
The second piece that I think is really important is we're starting to get news reports that uh that this aircraft was stolen.
There is a lot of speculation.
I can tell you right now that your reports are inaccurate, and it is irresponsible journalism to put out information that is not confirmed from law enforcement.
Please do not put out speculation uh because this aircraft, I can tell you right now that it was not a stolen aircraft.
Whoa, so the media got something wrong.
Who would have thought the hell you say?
The hell use the media got something wrong?
No, can't possibly be.
I mean, this is just I'm shocked, folks.
I don't know if I can deal with this in my fragile state of near anger and irritability today.
After all of this I've had to put up with today, now find out the media gets things wrong.
What are you gonna call them now?
The flyby media along with a drive-by media, along with state controlled media.
So let's see, another unidentified reporter then says, Well, look, we've been seeing on blogs and all that the connection between a house fire in North Austin and a man who put out a suicide note regarding the IRS, his CPA, the Catholic Church, George W. Bush, and his wife.
In terms of the investigation, the investigation is fluid, it is ongoing.
Well, there we have it.
There we have it.
All right, a brief brief.
No, Snergly, no, no, no, no.
Oh.
You asked me that already this week.
You asked me if I'm coming down.
I'm not coming down with anything.
Oh.
Am I am I not allowed to have, you know, can I not just be normally when I come in here with a motor not feeling 150%?
I don't tell everybody.
I, you know, I just gut it up and get professionalism here rain.
And you know, I don't bleed on people.
Some days I just feel like I'd be honest with people.
I'm just I'm I'm short few.
All right, I'll take some.
He just said take some Zycam just.
I have some.
I took some Monday.
I'll take it again.
I'll take it.
What do you mean I look peaked?
Look at the Ditto Cam HD.
I don't look peaked.
Uh oh.
He didn't mean peak it.
He meant another P word.
Zycam.
Um, you know what?
It's in my briefcase.
I can't.
I need to get that oral spray thing because I did it out in uh in Las Vegas.
Psh, but we didn't have a ditto cam out there.
I ought to demonstrate how easy this new stuff is to you.
Zyke, this is my favorite kind, by the way.
It's Zycam, this is the cold medicine.
If you use it early enough, the the moment you think you're coming down with a cold, you use this as directed, and it will reduce the severity and shorten the length and the symptoms and all that, but you got to catch it early.
It's Z-I-C-A-M.
My favorite now, they've got a lot of delivery systems, the lozenges and such, but this is an oral spray like a mint spray.
Four different strategic spots in the oral cavity just below the epidermis.
Uh every three hours.
And that's all it takes.
Well, that's a flash in a pan group.
I don't even know why they're in our bumper rotation.
Dexies, midnight runners.
Title of this tune is Come On Eileen.
It's okay.
It's a good enough one-hit tune and wonder, but I have here, folks, I'm holding it in my uh formerly, and those of you watching on the new HD Ditto Camus can see it.
This is the new uh Zycam, my favorite uh uh delivery system for the medicine is the uh mouth spray, the oral mist.
It's also a breath spray, but it gets rid of a cold.
There it is right there.
And what it says here, four times in the mouth.
Um inside of the cheeks.
Let's do that.
Oh wait, cap came off.
Fourth time inside the cheek.
One.
What's the third?
Um roof of mouth.
All right.
That's okay.
Halfway there.
And what's the other one?
Uh gums.
That's easy.
And don't swallow for 15 seconds.
And repeat every three hours.
Stuff magically works.
All right, here is Linda somewhere in New Jersey.
She doesn't want anybody to know where because she's going to be disagreeing with a bunch of Democrats there.
Great to have you on the program, Linda.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
Greetings from New Jersey.
Mm-hmm.
Listen, I am a uh teacher of the visually impaired and blind, and also an orientation and mobility specialist in New Jersey.
Wait a second now.
I know what the visually impaired are.
And I know what the blind are.
I mean, that's those are Democrats.
What is what is orientation and mobility specialist?
That is a person who is trained to work with kids who are blind or visually impaired on their travel skills.
Oh.
So using a cane, crossing streets, that kind of thing.
Gotcha.
Okay, thank you.
Okay.
So I'm a freelancer, and uh there are not very many of us in New Jersey.
New Jersey educates its blind kids a little bit differently than other states do.
In New Jersey, um, there is a state agency called the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired out of Trenton that sends out teachers to different school districts to provide braille instruction and OM orientation mobility instruction to blind students.
Because the other teachers can't do it.
Right.
There, it's a different certification.
It's a completely different training college experience.
Right.
Other states, um, school districts will hire their own teachers or OM people.
So they're a member of the school staff and they're paid by the school and they're held accountable.
Okay, I had to do that when I was in grade school.
I had a they had a speech, what was it?
What did you call them?
It was not a speech defect.
It was a speech impediment.
Speech impediments.
I had a lift.
Ah, when I was a kid, people said you sound like you need a drain in your mouth.
Um my parents sent me off to this speech impediment per yeah, exactly.
So I know what you're talking about.
Uh so yeah, actually, um OM is a related service, just like speech or occupational therapy or physical therapy.
Um, let me step in there from it.
Tell people why you're calling.
The reason she's calling is because we played um an audio sound Democrats in New Jersey opposing budget cuts, brought out a 13-year-old blind student to rail against the new governor's budget cut, saying it's just not fair, it's not right, or Republicans don't care about uh kids with impediments.
Um I am so outraged at the parents of this student.
I may Even know them.
I didn't get to hear the clip.
I don't know the student's name.
But um Well, hang on a minute.
Let's find the clip.
Hang on just a second.
It's audio sound by number.
Here's the clip.
And this is from earlier in the program.
These budget cuts will directly affect the education of each and every child who deals with a visual challenge.
Cutting across at all contests is not going to solve the long-term budget challenges in his great state.
That's the 13-year-old blind child they brought out, the Democrat.
Absolutely.
Now, what this student probably doesn't understand, but his parents should, if they're disinvolved with their student with their child's education, is that the commission for the blind cutting the budget.
Governor Christie cutting the budget.
And therefore probably cutting funds from the Commission for the Blind or not increasing funds.
Um results in less free services to school districts, um, or very minimal minimal fee, like a couple thousand dollars a year for um for services.
Right, so you don't like them using the kids this way, exploiting them, basically.
They're exploiting the kids, and the kid doesn't understand what the kid is asking for is quality services so that he can be an independent and competent adult.
And I agree with him a hundred percent.
Um what I disagree with is that the this entitlement that that these services should be free or a thousand a couple thousand dollars a year.
Now, if these if the pain Well, wait a minute now, w welcome to people, I don't welcome to people that vote for Democrats.
Who do you think created this sense of entitlement for the last fifty years?
Let's go back to FDR, shall we?
Who created it?
And guess who's afraid to tackling it up until now?
Republicans.
Elected Republicans.
Well, some of them have been afraid, not all.
Linda, thanks very much for the call.
Quick timeout will be uh right back.
Quick snerdly, you know the name of the group doing this bumper uh tune?
Oh, come on.
No, no, no, no, it's not George Harrison.
He uh ripped off the chiffons.
My sweet Lord.
No, this is a traveling Willberries.
Roy Orbison and uh Tom Petty.
It's just Roy Orbison.
This oh, this is not the traveling Willberries.
Oh.
Well, if I were feeling better, I'd have not made that mistake.
By the way, do you remember you remember the uh New York Yankee pitcher Corey Lytle flying around with his flight instructor?
And they flew into a um a building at the Bel Air condominium is 524 East 72nd Street near the East River back on October 12th of 2006.
And uh I I remember Charlie Wrangle was on Neil Cavuto that day.
Actually, the the date the crash happened was October 11th, 2006.
Now this is the soundbite that we had of Charlie Wrangle.
I thank God it wasn't a terrorist attack, having been in New York on that Tuesday, September the 9th, uh I thought it was an accident, and of course it broke my heart.
And there's less aching in my heart now, um, that it was a terrorist attack, but I get no comfort at all believing that we're prepared for a terrorist attack.
The jets went up after the fact.
I still wonder how a plane could fly up the Hudson and be able to do this type of damage.
She had to take the obligatory shot at Bush.
So if we turn this around, how can some local weed who hated Bush get in his little single-engine piper, whatever it was, and fly all around, leave a bunch of suicide notes on a website, plow into the first floor of a building that houses the IRS, leave a full-fledged, I've read it now, full-fledged manifesto on a website in which he rails against Bush, his accountant, the Catholic church, his wife, and who else?
Well, I'm I'm always leaving somebody out there.
Catholic church, Bush is a IRS.
Now, if we wanted to play Wrangles' game, how in the world could this possibly happen?
Are we not prepared for terrorism?
And they did they did put a couple F-16s up there after the fact.
Uh Norred uh uh launched them.
But I mean, it's that's what these guys, everything is political to them.
It wouldn't, I would I would in all of this.
It never even occurred to me to attach this to Obama.
I mean, even after I learned this guy hated Bush.
I mean it could have been sitting here say it's a Democrat that did this, a Democrat that caused I wasn't gonna say that I've said it now since you know remind myself what Wrangell had said after Cory will and that by the way airplanes flying up the Hudson River is constantly this guy had an axe.
He was flying a a a plane with a flight instructor or something happened wind gust or something, pulled a wing up and they didn't do it on purpose.
This guy did it on purpose.
Anyway back to the phone Stephen in Idaho Falls it's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey good to talk to you talk to you it's an honor.
Thanks very much I appreciate that my question Evan Bay, you know he uh comes out with this big I'm not running for re-election speech and all this well then all of a sudden it comes out that he's got 13 million in campaign funds.
What happens to that money?
He gets to keep it for a future campaign a future campaign.
Yeah.
And he can't convert it to funds to pay the light bill.
And he can't go out and buy a single-engine airplane.
And, you know, he can't go out and use that money to fly to an IRS office somewhere.
But he can use it.
He can save it.
That's one of the reasons why it's getting out.
I'll tell you, look, there are a lot of people that are writing things about this today, and a whole bunch of other things that are just echoing me, things I've said earlier.
and people are sending him, you ever think about this Yeah I wonder if the people who stole it from me thought about that the reason Evan Bai quit is because if he does want to run for office in the future he's got to keep the 13 million and he's got to distance himself from Obama because he's voted with Obama down the line.
Obama's driving Democrats into the graveyard Obama is causing Democrats to drive like drop like flies.
This guy has got to get himself out of the circumstance where he's voting with Obama if he wants to run for future office because believe me invoking Obama and his policies in a campaign and a reason to elect you isn't going to work.
There is no question in my mind he wants to seek off office down the road.
None none whatsoever but he's got to get out of there in in order uh to distance himself from Obama and hold on to that 13 million.
He's not gonna uh he was and by the way he's also he's really hurting in the polls he's at fifty percent in some and below fifty percent in others which would mean he'd have to use a lot of that 13 million to run again and he wants to save it.
This is another one of these rules that members of Congress have enacted for themselves.
If you quit, you get to take your unspent campaign war chest with you.
And by law, you're not allowed to use it personally for personal things, like cosmetic surgery or a new house or anything like that, a new gardener.
I don't know that some of them don't do that, but you're not by law allowed to.
But you are allowed to keep it and roll it over and allow it to keep growing.
You can invest it, have it keep growing.
then use it in your next campaign.
Stephen uh in Ogden Utah you're next with Rush Limbaugh.
Hello sir yes sir it's a uh pleasure to talk to you from the place that I call the uh Rodney Dangerfield of towns but uh we're fast on becoming the emerging Mecca for all outdoor activities here.
Thank you sir very much I know what he means by that but and it's not that I can't keep my tie straight hey I I I called about I think you're way too easy on uh on Wall Street but the overriding factor I think is that there's no accountability in the nation from the top from all aspects of government or whatever but I I called in about uh I think Wall Street gets off way too easy.
Why am I not hard enough on them or too easy on them as you said.
Okay well I I guess it's from an ex an example from the housing debacle um it was basically government I I believe as you said as you said that that caused it and um but if it wasn't for the fraud that was committed on Wall Street these bonds would have would have never been able to get sold throughout the world and so once well now help me explain or help me understand that what what what fraud did they commit.
They basically bundled up your loan with the most despicable person's loan and called it a triple A loan because Rush Limbaugh's triple A. And they sold it to the world as triple A. And so the world bought it.
Okay, now it was a good idea.
I admit that's not cool.
I admit that's not cool.
But why do you think they did it?
They did it for greed.
They they sold.
Well, let me present another possibility to you, and you you I mean, just consider this.
I'm I'm uh here you have uh Fannie Mae Freddie Mac who are in charge of mortgages, and you have Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, who authored via the Community Redevelopment Act, the whole notion of the subprime loan uh program, and its purpose was to extend loans to people that never ever would ever have a chance of paying them back.
And and this was I remember Janet Reno threatened a whole bunch of Wall Street banks.
If you don't follow through on this program, we're gonna investigate you.
They were now I'm not defending look it I don't want to be misunderstood here.
These guys are not innocent little ch kids that got caught up in a scandal, but they were forced to do something left to themselves they wouldn't do.
They could have they couldn't step down.
That's what I'm saying.
There's no accountability in our nation from the top.
The little guy, there's accountability all over the place.
They get fired.
I understand your mechanism.
No, I understand that, and I have ripped into in just this week and last week this whole notion of crony capitalism.
What has happened here is because of the oppressive big foot, the threat of total ruination.
It started with Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, continued with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
If these people didn't do this, they couldn't just walk away.
They would be punished, they would be investigated.
These people, because of governments getting more and more and more powerful, wanted to be on the good side with them.
Uh that's what's happening now.
It used to be that corporations and businesses of all size attempted to promote themselves by coming up with products and services that customers wanted and bought and earned a profit.
Now businesses are forced to do business in a way to keep government happy so that they don't come and try to put them out of business.
So when they have these horrible loans that they know they're not going to get paid back on, rather than quit, what they said, my God, how how do we stay afloat here?
So they would package the triple A people with these worthless things and then sell them.
They came up with all of these new financial products as basically insurance, and then they sold the insur or they created or convinced AIG to create an insurance policy to back all this garbage up.
Right, right, but if you want to if you want to look at it, I'm not exonerating these guys, but I'm telling you, and the blame for this is the Democrat Party.
Okay, but there's no accountability there either, okay?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
What there's gonna be in November.
Right.
But you know, in in a way that I I find it hard to hold the um the government accountable.
There's no mechanism there, but how about say with the Great Society or something, if we would have linked that or say the health care bill with with the Democrats and with them personally and say, listen, if this goes over budget, you're gonna have to pay your family's gonna have to pay, and uh you're gonna be you you have to step down from office.
If it goes over budget with the Nets and if they're out of office at that time, then they have to pay into the system that they created that was that was uh an abomination in the first place.
We have to come up with some type of mechanism to hold these guys accountable.
It's not gonna go over budget, then prove it to me.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Look, I understand all of this that you're saying.
I come at this from a different perspective, though.
Um I have an entirely different prism.
I look at this through.
It is this.
The Democrat Party for all of my life and since the days of FDR has been playing class envy in order to buy votes from unsuspecting people who the Democrats convince vote for us, and we're gonna make your lives better, and we're gonna attack these fat cats, and we're gonna make sure they don't get away with all these shenanigans, and we're gonna make sure you don't get cheated.
And what happens?
They become partners with them.
While they sit there and rip and class envy is horrible.
I hate the notion that a vast majority of American people were persuaded to despise the business community.
You look at the Democrat Party's enemy list.
It is big oil, it is big pharmaceutical, it is big retail, it is b anything b big business large and small are targeted by these people.
And if for the express purpose of making people like you hate them intuitively.
This whole notion of um, well, tell you what we're gonna do, we're gonna punish these rich people, we're gonna raise their taxes, and you're supposed to feel better about it.
We're not gonna give you another dime.
You're not gonna get your taxes cut, but boy, we're gonna screw these people.
And you're supposed to sit there and say, good, good, I'm happy because they're getting shafted.
I hate that.
I resent it all to hell.
Besides, all these securities agencies, all these Wall Street things, it was Congress that had oversight of all this supposedly.
And there were a mumber of people who tried to stop all these shenanigans going on, and Barney Frank and Chris Dodge shut him down.
There's no accountability at Fannie Mayor Freddie Mac.
There's no accountability government for any of this stuff, although it will be in November.
I'm not.
All I'm telling you is I have a much greater fear for the future of this country and a much greater animosity for the Democrat Party, which is ruining this country than I do for anybody in business.
Much more.
And if we can't get past this motion of blaming business for what's happening to us when we have a neophyte, socialist little markless incompetent, destroying the country, then we're in big trouble.
We need to refocus our anger at the right place.
And it's this government that has power over all of these people, so much power that they can coerce these Wall Street people or anybody else to go along with what they want to do, or they face ruination.
We have to get rid of the Democrat Party being in a majority anywhere.
That's the answer to this.
Not to string up a bunch of Wall Street bankers or have acorn protesting on their front yards in Connecticut.
It may make you feel better, but it ain't gonna save your country.
And we're back, Rush Limboss serving humanity, as I execute a signed host duties flawlessly with zero mistakes.
York, Pennsylvania Rick, great to have you on the program.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Hello.
Flawlessly is correct, Rush.
I'm sorry you're having a bad day, but um welcome to the club because there's so many listeners out here having a bad day.
Some of them, unfortunately, are having a bad life, thanks to this incompetent president and the bunch of high schoolers that he's got working for him.
Um it's an honor to speak to you.
I've been listening to you since 1988, and I gotta tell you, I think as I get older I get dumber.
I really do.
Um you said earlier today that uh this guy is trying to deliberately ruin this country, and I agree with you, but I just don't understand what the alternative is.
Why is he trying to do this?
My question to you is what is his ultimate goal here?
It can only be two things.
He wants complete control of every aspect of our life, or some kind of monetary game.
And I just don't understand it.
I need some wisdom from your rush.
What is the ultimate goal of these liberal Democrats?
What's going on?
Well, I'm gonna focus on Obama and his team.
Okay.
You have to look at who Obama was educated by, people who hated the country.
He was educated by a bunch of Marxists and communists, those were his mentors, including his father.
Uh when he went off to school, wherever it was, it was people that hated the country.
When he chose a pastor, it was a pastor that hated the country.
I think Obama looks at this country as immoral and unjust.
He thinks that the poor and lower middle class have had the wealth that is rightfully theirs stolen by other people.
It is his intention to return the nation's wealth, quote unquote, to its rightful owners.
I think Obama thinks the United States is unfair.
He thinks capitalism is uh criminal because not everybody ends up with the same amount of things.
Uh and he is I think he's got a great animosity for the achievers of this country, a great animosity for the people who've made it work.
I think he abhors capitalism, and he's damn certain he's going to change it.
Now, uh whether there's financial remuneration in this for him, who knows?
Uh most presidents end up doing pretty well after the fact.
Uh, but I don't know whether that's his motivation.
I I think his motivation is totally ideological.
I I I think this guy has been educated and raised to believe that this country is a joke, that it has been a horrible thing perpetrated on the world, that the U.S. military is the focus of evil in the modern world.
Uh he believes all the cliches that we use to make fun of liberals, and I I think he's the real deal.
Look, there's only one of two things going on here.
Either he is a bumbling inept, uneducated little idiot, Or this is all on purpose.
And if it's on purpose, the why really doesn't matter.
Just has to be stopped.
I kid you not, I'm gonna read you an actual Reuters headline.
International Atomic Energy Agency fears that Iran may be working to make a nuclear bomb.
The hell you say?
Really?
Iran is working on a nuclear bomb?
Is this the same United Nations that is certain, without a shadow of doubt, that there is man-made global warming going on?
