Time Text
What is that?
Oh, never mind.
Janet Matala uh Napala Tano.
Never mind.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Reviews Express by the host on this program now documented to be almost always right.
99.5% of the time.
We have uh not received new opinion audit, not due until the first week of next month.
Open line Friday.
It's the last hour of the busy broadcast week.
I, of course, uh your highly trained broadcast specialist, Rush Lindbaugh, turning over uh one of the most important aspects of the program to you, a bunch of rank amateurs today.
That's uh content.
When we go to the phones, you can talk about whatever you want on Friday.
That's why we call an open line Friday.
Telephone number is uh 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Now, as you know, the Obama administration through their website uh uh uh organized for America.gov, whatever, has got uh talking points out there for seminar callers.
They are they're tired of getting beat up on the radio, and they they uh their hosts can't succeed.
Their host look at MSNBC.
This this at some point, don't you think that that network would reach a degree of embarrassment, they have to do something about it.
So some one of their hosts advocated ripping Dick Cheney's heart out of his chest and kicking it down the street or whatever, using it as a football, and then uh putting it putting it back in there.
Uh I mean it.
These people are just in their desperate, desperate attempt to get noticed.
They are they are uh so obviously uh childish, immature course.
It's just it's just it's amazing that that network uh is allowed to continue on as it does.
So Obama, you know, that those hosts of networks, nobody watches them.
Twenty-five thousand people one night last week watching CNN.
So Obama said, okay, I gotta get my I gotta get my my own talking points on uh on conservative talk radio because that's all anybody's listening to.
So he's got this website where he's advocating people call shows like this one and lie about who they are.
Basically spam.
Hi, we love you.
I listen to you all the time, been listening to you forever.
Uh I asked what it's about health care, and then they've given talking points.
Now, this is nothing new, it's been going on since the 90s.
We identified these uh seminar callers back then, but Obama is now with an act of a presidential directive, and we can't find any.
We have struggled all day.
We're into the third hour of the program.
We cannot find one Obama acolyte.
We cannot find one seminar caller.
We cannot find one spammer.
Now it's been it it's been suggested that they're not up yet, which is a valid possibility.
It's also just as valid as there just may not be that many of them anymore.
There may not be that many Obama supporters.
Which would not surprise me.
But you know, our cameras and microphones are everywhere, and they're not happy from what I'm told at the White House with how this is going.
This morning in Washington, Nancy Pelosi had a uh weekly press conference, and among the things she said was this.
One year ago, nearly, March 5th of 2009, president started this bipartisan conversation at the White House at the summit.
It was a great day.
Oh, yeah.
When uh Senator Kennedy came into the room and said, I'm here to enlist as a foot soldier in the fight uh and the campaign to pass health care reform.
He would later say to the president.
This is about the not about the details of policy, it's about the character of our country.
Many of us carry us, carry that with us uh as we go forward as we have gone forward in this uh campaign and brought it to the table yesterday.
All right.
So uh yesterday it was do it for Paul.
Do it for Paul.
And now it's can we give it one more shot for Ted?
Uh back to that.
David Rodham Gergen last night on CNN The Situation Room, uh, the host Wolf Blitzer.
Uh the Republicans had less speaking time.
Uh David, I mean, they were counting the president, the Democrats got four hours, the Republicans got two hours, but the Republicans took full advantage of the minutes they had.
Intellectual, the Republicans had the best day they've had in years.
The best day they've had in years.
They uh, you know, there's been this perception that Republicans are either brain dead or just sort of ideologically uh resistant to anything, they have no ideas and all the rest of it.
Uh, I thought it was not just the you know, people like Lamar Alexander and Tom Coburn, but these new people of Ryan and Cantor were fresh.
And I think they really evened the score and kept it even.
Whoa.
So Gergen says that GOP, which have been perceived by people like him to be intellectually brain dead, were so good that they evened the score.
They grew they drew even.
They were so sharp.
These guys were so fresh and so smart that they got close to being even.
Obama was skunked yesterday.
And everybody inside and outside the White House knows it.
Stephanopoulos, look at whatever you hear them say it's a tie, it means it was a Republican big win.
Diane Sawyer, last night on World News tonight, said, uh George, thumbs up, thumbs down, and for who?
I think it was probably an honorable draw.
You say theater is also chess.
I mean, it's political chess uh as well, and both sides I think gained something.
Wait a minute.
Play that again.
Cue that up.
Is that is that Stephanopoulos?
You you you you gotta be.
Well, are we speeding this up or something?
I mean, this sounds this you are played this again.
I think it was probably an honorable draw.
You say theater is also chess.
I mean, it's political chess uh as well, and both sides I think gained something.
What both sides I didn't even hear what he said the first time because I didn't believe it was him.
Both sides, I think, gained some what did the Democrats gain out of this?
What did the Republicans have to lose?
That's another republicans really didn't have much to lose.
Now you gotta hear this.
You have to hear we're up to sound bites number one, two, and three, and uh this this is this is just great.
Steve Wynne, the Las Vegas Steve Wynne, had his company's uh fourth quarter financial result conference call yesterday with reporters, and during the QA, a re a female reporter said to Steve Wynn, look, is it is it too early to say that maybe 2011 would be better?
In other words, how do your 2011 bookings versus 2010 or just any comments on the volume of bookings or rate of bookings of 2010 or 11 just to get a sense of whether you see any change at all?
There are more questions afoot in this market in America that will impact eleven than I have hair on my head, I'm happy to say, and I still have a full head of hair.
I have more pessimism than I've had before, and it's based upon the political environment in which we are living today.
And it definitely is impacting Las Vegas.
The President of the United States hasn't missed one single opportunity to squelch Las Vegas.
We get phone calls, and I'm not going to mention the names of the companies from chairmen who say we don't want to appear to be profligate because Barack Obama said this or that about Las Vegas.
Okay, so for you and Rio Linda, what Wynn is saying there is he's gonna know a lot of CEOs that call him and said, We're not we can't afford to come out there because the word gets out uh we're gonna get heat because Obama's telling everybody not to go.
So Wynne then continued with it.
He was just getting warmed up here.
It is preposterous that businesses are under attack in the United States of America.
Anyone that makes over 250,000 in the form of a personal income tax return is now, by Washington definition, a rich person when everybody who has got a college degree knows that the personal income tax Rate in the United States of America is the business tax of America.
I am disgusted and angry at the apparent ignorance of the administration and the Congress to recognize the fact that the individual tax rate in the United States of America is in fact the business tax of America.
And if you keep banging on that, you will destroy the incentive for job formation in the United States of America.
And that's simple truth.
Steve Wynne, who voted for Obama, I believe.
So finally, somebody else joining my chorus.
Because he's right.
They are under attack.
And Obama's out there saying, oh, no, I'm business friendly.
Only want the private sector to do well.
Crock.
I I don't I don't who who?
When I just look, I uh I mean what did Wynne think would happen?
This is why I say we're gonna have to really teach ideology.
The only thing that would have saved us from Obama is if people knew what a liberal is, but people couldn't get there because two things had happened.
It's uh I'm gonna simplify it, maybe more than two.
But the media and the Democrats had done a great job of drumming up absolute hatred for George W. Bush, which led them to believe that anybody else from the Republican Party would be just as bad would be continuing just the same rotten policies and America being hated, and then you couple it with a guy, historical nature, first black president, no criticism, no investigation, no information.
Who is the guy?
Uh ideology was Trump, it didn't stand a chance.
I'm I'm sure that a lot of people looked at this just like the magic Negro song said.
Here's a chance okay, we can get rid of our racist past.
We can get rid of our guilt.
We can vote for this guy and say we're good people.
Uh and of course, th there's the this there's so much so much uh d the the desire uh for all this pap that liberals talk about during campaigns to actually happen.
Oh, it would be wonderful it would all come true, but it never does with these people.
And it it never has a chance to come through because their policies are diametrically opposed to whatever this great utopian vision that they they they think they can create is.
So I you know, it's it's for me, it's easy to explain why somebody like Steve Wynn to be fooled.
Uh because Steve Wynne wasn't thinking ideology.
Steve Wynne probably still don't much like Republicans either.
I I don't know, but uh I've there's a story in a stack here, a second one I've seen in a week about more and more Wall Street companies and banks now contributing in greater numbers to Republicans than Democrats.
Here, look here's the final soundbite from Steve Wynne.
This is a conference call with reporters on his company's uh fourth quarter earnings results and what he thinks the future holds.
Why I'm pessimistic about Las Vegas, because those are our customers.
Those people out there hustling their businesses, and God forbid showing that they made a million dollars as a partnership or as an individual.
Yeah, they're the enemy now.
They're the rich folks.
Well, if until we get over this, America's in for hard times.
The people that are gonna suffer from what's going on are the working class of America.
My fifteen to twenty thousand employees, they're the ones that are in trouble.
And until my employees get the drift of what's being done to them, America's in trouble.
Yeah, these are the people working as casinos uh and is uh in throughout the hotel operation.
And he's exactly right.
Uh but it's not new.
This is the Steve, it's not new that the rich people are the enemies of the Democrats.
It's been out there for one and all to see for as long as I've been alive.
So anyway, some eyes are being opened, but I wanted to play that for you because this pull the pulling no punches, and now you've got this guy saying that business is under attack by this administration.
As he got the guts to say it and join the chorus, and I'm all happy about that.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I was just reading about that.
Uh Social secretary is leaving next month, Desiree Rogers.
Her job is done.
She scheduled 330 events in a White House in 14 months.
13 months fulfilling Obama's promise to make it the people's house, and boy, did she ever.
People that uh people that weren't even invited got in there and uh got got close to uh what what prime minister was it?
Oh, the Indian guy, uh Indian Prime Minister and the uh and got next to the vice president.
I took their picture with plugs.
And it's uh let's see.
So she's gonna crash the private sector next, or maybe go back to uh Chicago.
But Desiree Rogers is uh is history, big uh big White House shake up.
By the way, I am told, uh ladies and gentlemen, that Steve Wynne did not I want to be right about this.
Steve Wynn did not vote for Obama, but that his wife uh uh Elaine did, and I think held some uh fundraisers for Obama.
But uh told Steve Wynne uh did not.
All right, Jody in Brighton, Michigan.
Uh it's great to have you on open line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, thank you.
Um be patient with me.
I'm really angry and I'm nervous.
And I'm calling because hopefully you can tell me if I'm right or if I'm wrong.
Okay.
All this money that has been put into the stimulus packages and all this talk about, you know, helping the small business.
I am retired from GM.
Salary person, not UAW, but I'm retired from GM.
Oh, is you're the enemy then, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Most definitely.
But who is going to prop up our small businesses?
Who's going to uh go out and buy from small businesses when all practically all of our uh middle um income people's jobs have been taken away.
Manufacturing has been shoved overseas.
Right.
Who's gonna go buy a house when they don't have a job?
That's right.
Who's gonna start a business or expand one if uh they don't have any customers?
And and I guess the other thing, I mean, it it just seems like this vicious circle here.
You know, I I actually retired from GMAC.
We were the financial arm for GM and now they've sold off GMAC.
They were they are now outsourcing our jobs at GMAC overseas.
Yeah.
And they're taking away decent paying jobs.
And you want to talk about the the health care for this country.
What do you think G I mean, what about these poor people in this country that in other countries that they've moved these jobs to that they pay five dollars a day to, that they say, you know, book these dealers' contracts, here's a contest.
You want you want to you book so many contracts, you're gonna get a case of coke.
They this is the kind of stuff that's going on.
They don't provide them health care insurance.
Uh who is they?
GM.
Who?
GM or GM.
GM, yeah.
Well, that's Obama now.
And and then, you know, why is it that these UAW members and that the UAW, you know, backs these Democrats.
Well, do you want it's because uh they have created laws to force the manufacturing out of this country.
Do you want them?
Well, it's instead of just a minute, instead of, you know, uh here I am working a little job a couple days a week in How for a small business lady, you know, and I go to work and they're ripping up perfectly good roads and redoing it with stimulus money.
Well, that's the first I've heard of that.
Well, the signs were up.
Now you know, I walked into work that day and I said, I cannot believe this.
They're tearing up roads that are, you know, are not that bad, and they're here's the here's the sign, you know, that this is all due to the stimulus money.
Well, you want me to try to answer some of this?
Yeah.
Okay.
I want you to really tell me I'm wrong that I'm not on the right track.
Well, no, you're not you're you're you're you're you're not wrong.
You do have some cliches about things.
Manufacturing is not totally left the country, but there ain't a whole lot of any activity going on in the private sector right now.
So you're essentially right.
There's outsourcing going on all over the place, and that's not going to stop.
It it it simply isn't going to stop.
It's the it's the nature.
Uh, you know, water Seeks its own level, and that's this is uh so do wages, labor costs, and so forth in free markets.
This is what what happens.
But the the thing here that you have to to understand all of this, the flaw in it.
Your your discussion of the stimulus and the tearing up roads to build new roads and so forth.
Well you have to basically understand here is that the government is broke.
It doesn't have a dollar.
We're running a one point whatever percent four 1.4 trillion dollar deficit this year.
We don't have any money, Judy.
So there's nothing to stimulate with.
There is no stimulus.
You can't take money out of the private sector and then put it back in and say, oh, we've just stimulated the economy.
You can't take a jar of peanut butter out of your cabinet and put it back in and say, ooh, we just added peanut butter to the cabinet.
And that's ex this all is a sham.
Oh.
Oh no.
Now they tell us.
Now they thousand recovery looking a lot shakier than expected.
Now they tell uh this is CNBC.com, the recent slump in housing making some analysts uneasy about a recovery that many thought sustainable just a couple of months ago, and comes at a time when the Federal Reserve is nearing the end of a critical year long program to support the mortgage market.
Housing is a pivotable, uh pivotal, ambiguous point, said Ted Gayer, the uh co-director of economic studies at Brookings.
A spate of recent reports from home sales to mortgage activity has been starkly negative.
Now they tell us.
And he if some of it can be written off to seasonal patterns, namely weather.
We just learned this week, for example, that people get laid off when it snows.
The weakness is not what people expected, with the extension and expansion of the government's home buyer tax credit that jacked sales for several months.
New home sales fell to a record low in January.
So this is uh this is not good.
Uh it's clear, folks, we need a better economy.
Um but what we're doing, and we're wasting time here with the trend of Obama trying to figure out a way he can end up running insurance companies now.
So um we're supposed to believe it jobs are gonna be the focus all along, right?
He still wants to run the insurance companies.
Meanwhile, now they tell us that the housing market looking a lot shakier.
Oh, and then there's this.
Um climate scientists.
January was the hottest ever.
Uh despite images of uh Europe crippled by a deep freeze and parts of the U.S. blasted by blizzards, the uh pace of global warming continues unabated, climate scientists claimed yesterday out of Singapore.
Well, okay, so uh what do we have here?
Uh they say that January was the hottest ever.
So then it would follow that if we keep spending money we don't have that we'll fix the deficit.
Barbie in Lakeland, Florida.
This is the first Barbie I have ever heard from.
I've never had a caller named Barbie, and even though it's in my top ten all-time favorite female names.
Hi, Barbie.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Um the reason I'm calling is to talk about the health care seminar yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
Um, I was actually very, very proud of the Republicans because they uh used the drive-by media to their advantage yesterday.
And I was almost dancing a jig as I was listening to it.
Of course, after a while, I kind of just uh muted the Dems because they weren't coming back with a legitimate answer.
But uh I'm very proud of the Republicans yesterday because they that they used this uh opportunity to get their message out against the uh health care.
Have you noticed something, however, Barbie?
What the when the president went up to the Republicans' weekend retreat in Baltimore.
Right.
The drive bys thought that was an Obama home run, and for the following week, we got looped video tape of Obama performing at the Republican thing, right?
Okay.
So yesterday, your assessment is right on the money.
We got a grand slam home run from the Republicans for six hours.
Have you seen any of it today?
None.
None.
It was a and and it build up was huge, and of course, this is ten amount evidence that the drive bys know for a fact that Obama got skunked by our guys.
I know.
I loved it.
But anyway, um I I was even proud of uh McCain and um and Lamar came out and Cantor and I can't remember that.
Um Paul Ryan.
The rookie, the little rookie from I can't remember his name, but he even I mean he he really knocked a home run as well.
Paul Ryan.
Right, exactly.
Paul Ryan, uh, from Wisconsin.
But anyway, I really enjoyed that yesterday.
I mean, I didn't watch every single bit because you know I do have a life.
But um I I was just very proud yesterday.
You're even you're even you're even uh proud of McCain, you said for what he kind of came back and uh then he wouldn't let me.
Well, I did love the fact he got underneath Obama's very thin skin.
I think so.
Uh he did.
He really he really did.
And he came back in the afternoon.
I forget what he came back on the afternoon with, but uh he was he w he was firing both barrels.
But remember now he's in a reelection campaign.
So now it's time to be conservative.
Oh, that's true.
That's it.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Oh, shucks.
I forgot about that.
That's right.
That's why I'm here.
Thank God.
Okay, Barbie, great to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
No, thank you.
You bet.
Uh who's next here?
Carson.
Carson of Chicago.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush, how are you doing, buddy?
Fine and dandy, sir.
Listen, I'm calling up to uh support you in the Republicans from the United States.
Carson, could you could would you hang on just a second here?
Sure.
What are you people laughing at on the other side of the window and distracting me?
You still they're lay laughing at Barbie's sultry voice, Carson.
That's what they're laughing at.
Okay, Carson, back to you.
Where were you?
I was uh saying that I did watch a seminar yesterday on TV and I was really proud of our Republicans.
They really came off as educated, quick on their feet, and they made the Democrats just look like a bunch of buffoons, which we all know they are.
You know they're listening in the White House.
This is not what they had in mind today.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, no, they expected this phone the show to be filled with uh Obama seminar callers ripping the Republicans today.
Uh and instead it's just the opposite.
Oh, absolutely.
I thought they did a great job.
Once again, they showed up to really stand for their ideas.
And I I loved it when Obama finally, after being cut off at everything, finally said, Well, we're just gonna shove it through and uh if you d if you don't like it, you can uh take it out at the elections.
You could see the Democrats in the back one scene.
The whole thing, the whole thing was a sham.
It was as they said yesterday in a politico to put a face on gridlock.
But the whole thing, I think as evidenced by the fact that you don't see the news media playing any video tape of it at all today, was a total, total bomb out uh for Obama.
It wasn't even close.
And the fact that they're not talking about it at all today is just is just uh further evidence.
But here's one thing, and Carson, thanks very much for the call.
I appreciate it.
You know, we've been i if if if if there's been any spamming going on this week, it's in my email and from people who are telling me I suck because I don't see the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
And you know, we've talked about it all week long.
And my good friends.
The fact of the matter is uh I am stunned when I hear informed people say, Wow, you know the Republicans really have some ideas.
Of course they do.
It's not it it's not a surprise.
You know, I I I'm I run into the same thing personally that they're experiencing today.
When I go out in public and uh and then people meet me who only know me by either listening to this program or more importantly, through the media image that the drive-bys of created.
They are shocked.
They are stunned at what a nice guy I am.
And just like today, people are shocked that the Republicans have some ideas.
Shocked that the Republicans could speak and sound intelligent.
Shocked that the Republicans just didn't go over there and bend over and die.
Shocked and uh I'm not shocked.
Um especially about the ideas, because the guys that were in that room on the Republican side are conservatives.
And there's a world of difference between them and the Democrats.
And it was it was on full display.
So it's a good thing that it happened.
I'm just I I just continually am uh amazed that people find out that normal everyday people with ideas are smart are normal, everyday people with ideas and are smart.
And then that's a somehow a shock to them.
Don't be shocked, Mum.
That's who they uh that's who they are.
We got a Hilary from Chicago.
Uh welcome, Hilary.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
How are you?
Very well.
Hi, um, I'm seventeen, I'm from Chicago.
And you know, I take a lot of AP classes at my school, and What what's an AP class?
Um it's like a college class at high school.
Oh, okay.
Advanced placement.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And um well, there's just been a lot of, you know, Marxist stuff going on, and actually yesterday my AP psychology teacher uh just told blatantly the whole class after an intelligence test that um competition stifles creativity.
What?
Yeah, no, I'm not kidding you.
You had an advanced placement teacher?
We were just talking about this yesterday.
Yeah, no, yeah, I know.
That's why you know I it's teachers institute day, so I was like, call in.
And um Yeah, so she said that she's like competition stifles creativity.
Yeah, it that's what that's word for word, that's what she said.
How old is this teacher?
Uh she's I mm like thirty.
Oh, geez.
No.
Is she attractive or not?
Really hard to get good grades in these classes because you know, thinking one way, and they're like, you know, thinking in a completely different direction.
And I don't know how you put up with this.
I well, you have no choice.
That is that that is not just wrong.
That is intellectually vacant.
That is an utter denial of reality.
She never watched a football game.
Has she never watched any kind of athletic endeavor?
It's all about competition and who can be more creative and full of surpr it this isn't is this woman attractive or not?
Oh yeah, well, she wears a lot of very expensive clothes.
I mean, she's very into herself.
Well, that well I was.
Who is she competing with?
Let me Hillary, I want you to do me do you how often do you see this uh this teacher?
Well, I see her uh well, I'm gonna see her on Monday.
Monday, all right?
Yeah.
All right, uh I want you to do something.
Yeah.
You ready?
Yeah.
You just said she wears all these nice clothes.
She do that every day.
Well, yes, you know, I mean, she also has an iPod and a nice car, you know, like you know, all my other teachers.
They you know.
All right, well, that I won't just ask her who is she competing with.
Why does it matter that you have these nice clothes?
Who are you trying to be better dressed than?
Well, you know, it's it's not it's not just her.
I mean, I actually had um an AP environmental class, and you know, you're that's already, you know.
So you don't need to tell me what's going on in here.
I already know.
Yeah, well, we had I actually I actually dropped out of it because it was just it was getting too much.
And there right before I dropped out of it, they made us watch this one video, and I forget which country it was, but they were talking about how they used to be communists, and once they went to the free market system, the environment started dying and all the animals were male needs to be.
See, that's just an abject lie.
It's the dirtieth most filthy places on the planet are the ones that are the most undeveloped, that have the least amount of capitalism, the least amount of modern technology.
So you're being indoctrinated, Hillary.
You're not even being taught.
Yeah, you know, I go on, uh you know, as a mom, the Where do you want to go to college?
Oh, I can't tell you that because I'm gonna be going there.
I I want to uh you know, I mean Why?
What what harm would that do if I knew?
Oh, because I'm going into a very creative field.
So?
Oh Are you afraid that if it's on this radio program that they know where you're going that you might have your admission canceled or something?
What is what what what is the Mom's doing the don't say it sign?
Your mom said, Don't say it sign.
What is the don't say it sign?
Is she like get the throat slit?
No, not the throat slit.
She's laughing at you now.
I'm used to that.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Both adwis.
I love the all the time.
Well, now I'm really intrigued.
You're gonna go to some creative college, you won't tell me where because somehow it's gonna jinx it?
Yeah, it might jinx it.
Oh.
So you haven't been.
Wait, you haven't you haven't been accepted there, is that it?
Yeah, I haven't been accepted yet.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
I got it.
I got it.
So you're afraid your mom's afraid if a school is listening, and they hear that you want to go there, and I support it, that they won't let you in.
Maybe.
Probably.
No, maybe about it.
Tragically.
No, maybe about it.
Um, well, uh I'm really curious.
Yeah.
Well, don't even did I tell you there's a communist at my school?
Just one?
Yeah, there's a com I'll out now.
He calls everyone comrades.
Oh.
Teacher or student?
Student.
Oh, well.
That's nothing.
That's nothing.
Start counting the communists on the faculty out there, uh, Hillary and Adult.
That'll give you the real lay of the lamp.
We got a quick timeout.
Be right back after this.
