Time Text
Okay, let me see if I understand this.
On Monday.
No.
Well, yeah, starting Sunday through Monday at the signing ceremony yesterday, the Democrats and the left are gloating.
They're gloating and they're happy and they're lauding it all over.
We beat you.
We beat you.
You lost.
We won.
Now all of a sudden, I'm the most dangerous man in America.
How can that be?
If I lost, if I lost and we all are, how can I be such a threat anymore?
Diane Feinstein has joined the Time magazine chorus.
Come on, Republicans, just quit.
Just give it up.
Why are you continuing this fight?
Oh, I get it.
You guys can struggle for 100 years to destroy the country, and then you can celebrate when you get a next chunk of it passed.
And we're supposed to just give up.
Is that how it works?
That's what they're trying to tell us.
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
Email address, lrushbaugh at eibnet.com.
When some nut, when some loco weed walks into a place and shoots it up, the media look for any evidence that they have conservative books, they've read conservative books, and they're members of the Tea Party, or that they listen to talk radio, they're said to be racist because of one person allegedly saying something or because of some sign.
In this kind of reporting, it only cuts one way.
Have you noticed?
Every person, every person, in fact, they even lie.
What was the incident that happened recently?
Was it the guy who flew his plane into the IRS office down in Texas?
He was a registered Democrat, right?
Something like that.
And they tried to tie him to the tea parties and everything.
The Alabama doctor.
Yeah, the Alabama doctor.
Oh, yeah, these guys are all Tea Party members.
No, no, they're Democrats.
You got Democrats killing themselves, literally committing suicide rather than have their homes foreclosed on them during the Obama administration.
And TARP Watchdog Slams Obama foreclosure program.
This is CNNMoney.com.
President Obama's foreclosure prevention program will likely fall short of its goals and may even do more harm than good.
I think we've been saying that for a year.
Because government cannot save things like this.
Government can't keep you in your home when you're doing nothing to keep yourself in your home.
They just can't do it.
And now people are committing suicide in Philadelphia.
They had to be foreclosed on.
Now, if George Bush were president, that's all we'd be hearing.
Bush is killing people.
People dying.
People killing themselves because of Bush.
Or any other Republican.
Well, how about this?
How about this angle?
Every person who is abused by government bureaucrats or who is denied government benefits or who the government has supposedly failed, those people don't get any attention whatsoever.
How about the sympathy of a person denied something from an insurance company?
Oh, we hear about that all the time.
All the time.
Single mothers are now the most virtuous people in our country, particularly if they have children named Marcellus.
Oh, yeah.
I, of course, El Rushbaugh, am the most dangerous man in the country now.
Oh, yeah, we're to believe the government runs smoothly, it runs efficiently, we are led to believe it means well, and it's therefore always good.
On the other hand, the private sector is full of rich, hateful, greedy people who create nothing and steal from others.
Yeah.
And that's where Rush Limbaugh happens to live, is in the private sector.
So I'm evil, I'm greedy, I'm rich, I take and steal from others.
I don't produce anything.
I am the enemy to these people.
Here's Kathleen Sebelius again, audio soundbite number 33 yesterday afternoon on MS, NBC, discussing the future of the pharmaceutical industry.
Well, the drug companies will have their profits reduced by close to $90 billion over the lifetime of this bill.
That's part of the strategy moving forward.
Part of the strategy moving forward is to remove or reduce the profits of drug companies by $90 million.
The sad thing is that that sounds good to about 30% of the people.
But how does anybody expect the drug companies to come up with anything new?
How do they expect them to do research and development in new drugs?
You know, people have that expectation too.
Americans have the expectation healthcare here is better than anywhere else and that it continues to be.
If you take the profits out of the drug companies, I mean, what were they why even exist?
And now they announced it.
That's their intention.
Vindication for El Rushmo.
All of these things.
And let's not forget yesterday, Congressman Dinkle, on with Paul W. Smith at WJR in Detroit, talking about answering a question, why does it take so long for all of this good stuff to implement in the health care bill?
Paul W. We're not ready to be doing it.
But let me remind you, this has been going on for years.
We are bringing it to a halt.
The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 American people in different ways, it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.
To control the people.
He says today he was just tired.
Yeah, too tired to censor himself.
Too tired to censor himself.
The truth will out.
It's going to take us a long time, big administrative thing here to put it together, Paul W.
To control the people.
Yesterday, 3031 and 32 here.
Yesterday on this morning, actually, on Squawkbox Europe, CNBC, David Murin, co-founder of Emergent Asset Management, is the guest.
And the anchor said, David, just written a book here called Breaking the Code of History, a map for the future.
So if we've been here before, David, as I think you argue, what goes on after this?
Sometimes long-term history impacts the now, and we're in it.
Like a schism, like two tectonic plates that suddenly shift after 100 years of energy building up.
And that's really the end of a Western Christian empire.
It's bigger than the British Empire, the American Empire.
It's the sum of all the Christian empires for nearly 900 years.
And America is the last one.
And when the last one changes and declines, which it's in, and it'll be very rapid.
It's the end of a whole system.
I've never heard it put that way.
The Christian Empire, America is the largest part of it and is the last one.
And when the last one changes and declines, which it's in, so the American empire is in decline.
And this is partly because of the health care bill.
So he added this.
And at the same time, the system that rises challenges far quicker as it moves into the vacuum created by the old system.
And that's the East.
The surprise will be the rate of that change.
And we view the new administration in America as new hope.
Unfortunately, if you look at historical presidents of underclass and the mechanisms of an underclass actually becoming to the fore demographically, it is not new hope.
It's the beginning of the end.
And we're seeing that very quickly take place.
Do you hear that?
Did you understand what this guy said?
He said that when the undercloth, the mechanisms of an underclass, come to the fore demographically.
To translate this for you people in Rio Linda, Point St. Lucie.
When the poor are expanded and more and more people become poor and become wards of the state, it's the beginning of the end.
When the underclass, that's a British term, the underclass means the poor.
It doesn't mean they're lesser people.
When the poor become the dominant group, it's over.
By definition, it's over.
Well, I'm just, do I accept this?
I do not accept this yet, but I do not believe that it is inevitable, but I do believe that the path we're on would lead to this if we don't stop this.
Absolutely.
That's how it works, Nerdley.
If we don't stop this, we know what history says, and we're bound to repeat it if we ignore it.
Here, he added one more thing to it.
The refusal of Obama to commit to the missile defense system in Poland was a terrible sign to the adversaries of America.
They saw it as weakness.
And in fact, if you look at Chinese policy since an articulation, it's been far more aggressive and expansive.
So the moment that the incumbrant shows its inability to project power and use the power it has, the challenges move forward very quickly.
56% of their society is male.
In a normal society, it's 51.
That's 5% of extra risk capital.
What that means is they're far more risk-orientated than actually a society in the West.
I'm going to explain that.
They've got 56% males, which means they got a lot of guys they can afford to lose in battle.
And they perceive Obama as weak.
And they're acting on it.
And so are the others of our adversaries or adversaries see Obama as weak.
In other words, this guy is an unmitigated disaster, no matter which way you slice it.
Again, vindication for your host, El Rushbo, the most dangerous man in America.
Because I'm right.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
When there's smoke, there's rush.
The EIB network.
All right, the assaults on your host on the media continued into yesterday afternoon and last night.
Let's go to MSNBC Live, the anchor David, the pathetic David Schuster.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh today, once again, railing against Democrats and demonizing President Obama.
And it may be working.
According to a new Harris poll, 67% of Republicans think the president is a socialist.
57% of Republicans think he's Muslim.
45% don't think he was born in this country.
38% of Republicans think President Obama is, quote, doing what Hitler did.
And get this, 24% say the President of the United States is the Antichrist.
Does Rush Limbaugh speak for the GOP?
Republicans must be getting some of this garbage from somewhere.
Who are they getting it from?
Well, I don't know where Antichrist and Muslims, I don't know where they're getting that because that's not a part of the program.
I haven't really made that one of our topics here, but the methodology of this Harris poll was greatly flawed.
And in fact, a lot of I didn't even report the poll yesterday because I knew these guys would be touting it.
I didn't report it.
Other pollsters are raising a big stink about the methodology of this thing.
But it achieved its purpose.
I told you on Monday, this is all going to happen now.
We're going to be the biggest evil enemy in the history of the country now.
Now, as far as Hitler business, one of the first things the National Socialist Party did was try to nationalize healthcare.
I mean, the facts are facts.
The president is a socialist.
The number ought to be much higher than 67%.
And we got the New York Times saying so today.
We've got What's Your Face Sebelius saying so today?
We've got John Dingell control the people.
It may even be worse than socialist.
Well, Schuster was mentioning all that to one of his guests, a guy by the name of attorney, Mark Levine, who is an attorney.
Not Levin, Mark Levine, who is an attorney.
And Schuster said, why is it fair to pin this on Limbaugh?
If you heard Rush Limbaugh today, he specifically compared Barack Obama to Hitler.
This is not rhetoric that's coming out of nowhere.
People understand the Tea Party activists are drawing Hitler mustaches on Obama.
They're doing it for a reason.
There are a lot of mostly angry white southern male fundamentalist Christians who are very angry.
They see their power being taken away.
They see blacks in power.
They see a woman speaker of the house.
They see a gay man as head of the Financial Services Committee.
And they're worried.
The irony is this bill will actually help most of the people.
They just don't know it.
A blooming idiot, a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.
Somebody help me.
Did we even mention Adolf Hitler yesterday?
That's a total lie.
Adolf Hitler was not mentioned on this program yesterday.
We didn't even talk about any of these Hitler videos yesterday, right?
The word Hitler was not uttered on this program.
And here comes the cliché.
Mostly angry white southern male fundamentalist Christians, very angry.
See their power being taken.
This is what passes for learned analysis.
These guys get together after the show and do a circle, you know, whatever.
Or are they doing that underneath the desk during the show?
What a bunch of blooming idiots.
And this guy is an attorney?
And it says here he has a radio show of his own.
That's probably the problem.
Nobody listens to it and is ticked off about that.
Anyway, it continued.
We move on to soundbite number 11, Maude Behar.
And by the way, people, let's do number 10 here.
Soundbite number 10.
I got other people asking me.
This is an interesting question I get because generation, what do you mean?
Maud Behar?
Where does the Maud come from?
Remember the TV show?
Lady Godiva was a freedom rider.
She didn't care if the whole world looked.
Jonah Barb with the Lord to guide her.
She was a sister who really could.
Here's the daughter was the first proper angel that she showed up.
Oh, yeah.
The country was falling apart.
Betsy Ross got it all sold up.
And then there's Maud.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maud.
And then there's Maud.
And then that's Maud.
And then there's Maud.
That uncompromising enterprise and anything but tranquilizer.
As starred B. Arthur, Maude was a spin-off character from All in the Family.
Somehow was always berating Archie Bunker on the show.
So, you know, B. Arthur, Maud Behar.
Anyway, this morning on the View, Maude Behar said this about me.
There's a difference between hate speech and free speech, but hate speech is also protected in the First Amendment.
But you have to take the hit.
If you are a hateful speaker like Rush Limbaugh, people are going to go after you.
You know, there is nobody that listens to this program to think that there's any hate.
There's nothing but love and affection and optimism, good cheer, and happiness on this program, which I bet Maude hasn't listened to in, I don't know how long.
Anyway, to the phones.
That's just a sample, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, she's still on CNN, but headline news, it's headline news, which has gotten more ratings than CNN does.
But it's still, the cartoon network still has more numbers than MSNBC, CNN, and headline news combined in the cable universe.
More people are watching cartoons than are watching those three networks, which is indistinguishable, by the way, which one's the cartoon and which one's the cartoon network.
Brian in Independence, Kentucky, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Great to have you here.
Rush, it's been honored to talk to you.
The question that I have is, do the liberals not understand the concept?
There may come a time when conservatives hold the kind of majority that they now hold.
And this unlimited power they're trying to give the federal government right now could very well be used by a conservative administration for a conservative agenda in the future.
Well, theoretically, and we have even had fun dreaming about this, using the awesome power of the federal government against them, such as to deny their special interest groups federal funding, any number of things, you know, defund their agenda after they have fun.
If we have the power to do, if they build government up powerful enough to do that, the problem with conservatism and an all-powerful government don't go together.
You don't really implement a conservative agenda from government.
The way you do it is you get rid of government as much as you can.
You reduce it.
You take it out of people's lives.
You make people self-reliant, self-dependent, and you lower their taxes.
You get rid of impediments and obstacles.
You turn them loose.
And you tell them, hey, your life is yours.
The country depends upon you being the best you can be.
Have at it.
We're going to do everything we can to help you be the best you can be.
We're not going to sit here and tell you you can't do anything.
We're not going to hold you in contempt.
We're not going to sit here and say that you don't have what it takes because we know that you do.
And we're going to make it so that you go and do what you do the best if you want to, because that's how we're going to have a great country.
That's the message.
And we don't use government for any of that.
We just try to downsize.
And it's tough to downsize government.
That's why all this stuff is so dangerous.
It's tough to get rid of these kind of things, especially after a number of years where a lot of people have gotten used to the benefits.
The one advantage here is that the so-called benefits don't kick in for four years.
Like if, by the way, if you're just joining the program, if you like a welfare received, you make 88 grand a year and you're on welfare, you just woke up and you haven't heard this yet.
Obama has been lying to you all during the signing ceremonies.
One of the great things that's going to happen here is that pre-existing conditions for children are immediately covered.
They're not.
They forgot to put it in the bill.
It has been discovered that pre-existing conditions are not insurable for children until 2014, two years after Obama, God forbid, is not re-elected or re-elected, whatever.
God forbid if he is re-elected.
So one of the major benefits they're out there hawking is not there.
It's not that they didn't mean to.
It's not that they lied about it.
It's just they're incompetent.
Whoever wrote this screwed it up.
Now, these are the same people who are going to be responsible for administering this.
I shudder to think what this is going to end up being.
These hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations to go along with this bill.
I think over 2,000 times in this bill, it says, as the secretary shall determine, meaning the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
So, and by the way, if you go into, like happened to the doctor's office yesterday, go in for a mammogram and expect it to be paid for and free, not yet.
It actually happened.
One situation we know of.
I got to take a brief time out here, my friends.
More of your phone calls coming up.
And polling data on healthcare, just amazing.
What a transformation there's been in one poll.
Why the American people now love it by 49% and we are back.
A couple more sound bites here of hate speech aimed at me from MSNBC yesterday, David Schuster again with Michael Eric Dyson, who is who?
His professor somewhere.
Georgetown University professor, Michael Eric Dyson.
Now, remember what they're doing here, and you see it happening with the Ann Coulter situation up in Canada.
That's possibly our future.
They don't have free speech up there.
If the people in charge don't like what you're saying, they can keep you from saying it.
And what they're trying to do is criminalize now all criticism of Obama as hate speech, as being racist, or worse, exactly what they're doing to the culture.
So yesterday on Monday afternoon, here is David Schuster.
He says, Limbaugh then turned to the politics of race, and he played a clip of me saying, here's what he's going to say.
There are some people who don't like your skin color who don't think you should be American.
He's come to divide.
He's come to conquer.
Is there anybody who now doubts what I meant when I said I hope he fails?
And then Schuster said, what goes through your mind, Mr. Dyson, when you hear that stuff?
Of course, what I was talking about there was the coming immigration bill.
Amnesty.
And no question, Obama's going to run around.
I'll say it again.
He's going to say there's some people who don't like your skin color who don't think you should be an American.
Obama has divided us.
We're not unified.
There's no unity here.
Not we were promised.
We got no post-partisanship.
We got no post-racial presidency.
In fact, we now, I actually call him a post-constitutional president.
He's a post-constitution.
And I think something else needs to happen.
We need to have at the Smithsonian Institute a wax figure, life-size wax figure of an insurance salesman and of a drug company researcher.
Because pretty soon there aren't going to be any of them.
So anyway, here's what Michael Eric Dyson said to my supposedly divisive racist comment.
If anybody is fomenting dissent, it is Rush Lumbaugh.
The politics of division, the cruel denial of the utter humanity of Mr. Obama.
Those who disagree with him have the right to do so.
But to disparage his character and to assert these unfounded ideas and propositions about Mr. Obama is just dumbfounding to me.
There's nothing in Mr. Obama's demeanor reaching out to the right to suggest that he's in any way inclined to make this an empire of color or trying to derail what he sees as the benefit for all Americans of social policies that he puts into legislation.
Whatever the hell that means, I never said that he is attempting to make an empire of color.
I said he's going to try to pass amnesty by shutting down criticism of it, by claiming that the people who oppose it are racists.
All he's going to, I know exactly what he's going to say.
He's going to say, there's some people who don't like your skin color who don't think you should be an American.
They don't.
Now, that's clear for what it is, is talking about immigration.
And in fact, it's already been said at numerous pro-amnesty rallies that have been held.
I mean, I'm not making it up.
It's really not even that great a prediction because it's been said by other people.
So then Schuster spoke with Michael Eric Dyson again.
Here's what else Rush Limbaugh said today in terms of describing the Obama crowd.
And he played the clip of me saying they look at this country as one big criminal act, one big civil rights, human rights violation.
Don't doubt me.
That is how Obama has been raised to look at this country and he believes it.
And Schuster then turns to Dyson and said, well, that's about as loaded as it gets.
You know, what is it about the truth that bothers these people?
There's no question that this is what animates Obama.
Everything he's touching, he's destroying.
Do you think this is accidental?
Says he's going to save the home market.
What's happening to it?
People are committing suicide in Philadelphia in advance of being foreclosed.
New home sales, all-time record low.
Despite all the shovel-ready jobs that we're going to have, construction unemployment is 27.1%.
He was going to keep unemployment at 8%.
It's now hovering around 10%, generally 16%, if you count those who've given up looking.
Nothing he's doing is working.
Everything he's touching, he is destroying and changing.
And where is this laser-like focus on jobs anyway we told we were going to get last December?
So here's Dyson's reaction to it.
That's ignorant beyond belief.
We don't have to demonize each other to disagree.
Mr. Limbaugh, again, is fomenting these politics of opposition, and I think the conservatives of good conscience should speak out against him.
To resort to this kind of shenanigan where Mr. Limbaugh is trying to foment racist animus against Mr. Obama is just remarkably Rush Limbaugh is trying to foment a universe of bigotocracy.
That has no place in American civil discourse, and it only foments the kind of dissent that leads to the most attacks on Mr. Obama, the most threats against him as any president.
And I think we need to be afraid for the future of our nation, not simply for the health of Mr. Obama.
Well, we agree on that.
I mean, we are afraid for the future of the nation, but because of Mr. Obama, by the way, the Secret Service says he is not getting more death threats than any other president has, Mr. Dyson, Professor Dyson.
And besides that, your side, Mr. Dyson, did a couple of books and movies on how to assassinate George W. Bush, and your media told us these were serious literary works.
We had to at least treat them that way.
I mean, I have not seen anything like that about Obama, but I, what, Mr. Snow?
Do you have a question?
Listen, bigotocracy.
Well, it's a new word.
It's a professor.
He can make up words like that.
The bigotocracy.
I mean, I make up my own words, feminazi, so he can make up bigotocracy if he wants to.
But I, you know, there's no racist comment here.
I'm just, they, Mr. Dyson looks at this country as one big criminal act.
Mr. Dyson looks at this country as one giant violation of civil rights.
Mr. Dyson looks at this country.
That's why he's so angry all the time.
What do you think he's teaching in his classroom?
The greatness of the Founding Fathers?
Anybody want to lay odds on that?
What's happening here is they are trying to criminalize all criticism to Obama as hate speech from racists or worse, just like they're doing with Coulter.
We've got a call here from London, Canada from Aerie.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Rush, mega24-7 Limbaugh Letter Ditto's here.
Thank you, sir.
Well, I was at the Ottawa event last night, and I can tell you that all the story you're hearing about the protesters, it's all true.
It was impossible to walk through them.
They tried to silence her.
They did silence her.
They wouldn't let her speak.
And it's really just a travesty.
This happens on a university campus because these are the purported homes of free speech, and they won't let a contrary opinion be expressed there.
But no, Canada, confirm this for us, is not really a home of a First Amendment type free speech that we in America think of free speech as.
Oh, absolutely not.
You look at what's happened.
I'm sure your listeners saw what happened with Mark Stein and his Human Rights Tribunal case here where they tried to ban his book, America Alone.
Yeah, I remember it well.
Yeah, it's just not accepted here, and it's really a shame.
And, you know, it could be coming to you with the fairness doctrine or whatever.
You have to watch out for it.
Oh, it's not going to come to us long before the fairness doctrine.
That's what all this talk about all the criticism of Obama being racist is all about.
They're going to try to criminalize this kind of criticism.
I predicted that, too, by the way, prior to his immaculation.
Ari, how's the health care system up there working for you?
Rush, it's just an unmitigated disaster here.
And our big question now is, what are we going to do now that you guys have our system?
Where are we going to go?
I guess I'm going to have to follow you to Costa Rica.
Well, except I cannot go to Costa Rica because the plan was to be part of an insurance policy that was going to set up operations down there.
But the insurance company says they're going to be out of business in three years because of Obamacare and it won't be able to do it.
So I'm back looking to New Zealand.
I guess we'll have to go there, but you look at what happened with Coulter here.
And before she even set foot in Canada, you had the academic president or some other from the University of Ottawa accusing her of spewing hatred and warning her that she says anything.
They're going to come after her.
And instead, what he did was he just fomented the attitude that you had there that got ended up canceling her speech.
And the other shame is that Ann Coulter, as you know, is just one of the most genuinely decent human beings you'll ever meet.
Well, I can say that's true.
I've met Ann Coulter a number of times.
I can say that I know her, and she is decent, and she's funny.
I'll tell you a dirty little secret here, Ari.
She actually doesn't mind this at all.
She's in the front page above the fold in a local newspaper.
Everybody around the world is talking about this, and she has successfully illustrated just what a bunch of bigots there are at this university.
So this is something that she's out there laughing about it.
This hadn't even happened at the stupidest American university, as she says.
Ari, I'm glad you called.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Look at this, folks.
Standby audio sounds about 14, by the way.
Americans, by nine percentage points, have a favorable view of health care overhaul that Obama signed into law Tuesday, according to USA Today Gallup.
A notable turnaround from surveys before the vote that showed a plurality against it.
By 49 to 40, those surveys said it was a good thing.
Why, Shazam, overnight?
It's a miracle.
And now, it's the only poll that says that, by the way, in every other poll, it's dropping.
Bloomberg, favor, 38%.
CBS News poll, favor 37%.
CNN, favor, 39%.
That's after it's signed.
Gallup, USA Today, show a 49-40 approval.
They asked David Rodham Gergen about that last night.
It's been a strange thing that's happened in the media in the last 24 hours, and that is, up until about 24 hours ago, the media was all saying, this bill is very unpopular.
Democrats are really putting their heads in the noose.
They're really taking big risks, big gambles.
And suddenly today, it's like, oh, the Republicans don't have much of a shot here.
Why are they going to be able to fight this?
You know, it's the law of the land.
This bill remains very unpopular in very significant segments of the country.
Not in big urban centers.
In big spots of the country, people are angry.
They're upset.
They're anxious.
They're worried about the deficit.
And they ought to be.
And there's David Rodham Gergen basically affirming here his CNN poll.
He's got to say that.
So USA Today Gallup totally making up.
Now, yesterday I shared with you all these unscientific polls being touted by liberals to substantiate the popularity of Obamacare.
And USA Today Gallup is one of them.
Just like that, the Star Wars bar scene setting for the signing of the bill yesterday.
This is all staged.
All of this is being staged by the administration to make Obamacare look and feel like America really wants it.
Well, we've shown you the real polls here.
We've gone over and over these real polls and the real analysis of how Americans view this.
And I've shared with you the Heritage Foundation's in-depth analysis on public attitudes over what's been done to the country in this past week.
It's also now available at askheritage.org.
If you want some genuine polling data on this, that's the place to go.
It is at times like this that like-minded, caring Americans come together.
It's no surprise, therefore, that more of you have become members of the Heritage Foundation in the past week than at any time in the past couple of years.
More of you have joined in the past week or so than at any time in the past couple of years.
And before the week's out, and while you watch more of the Senate's debate, dozens of states file lawsuits and so forth, you make yourself a member of Heritage and keep up with it, particularly when this program's not on the air.
AskHeritage.org is where it all starts.
Hey, we're back.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here.
You know, it really is.
It really is.
It really is interesting.
CNN, Mess, NBC, ABC, CBS, NBC.
How many hours have they spent discussing you?
Or minutes?
How many minutes?
On the day when their wonderful president had that big effing deal signed.
Wouldn't you think they'd be in party mode out there?
I mean, they got their big effing deal signed, and they should be partying hardy out there.
You would think they'd be celebrating, finding people or having Christmas dinners.
You'd think they'd be out there finding all these new people who are having Christmas in March with all their new health care coverage.
Instead, they spend precious broadcast minutes trashing me, lying about me.
Why is that, do you think?
Why is that?
Because they're liberals.
They attack truth tellers.
Liberalism is a lie.
It's built on lies.
They attack and demonize people who expose the lies by telling the truth about them.
That simple.
Okay, back to the phone, Saginaw, Michigan.
Jack, welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Well, thanks, Rush.
I'm a registered nurse here, and I, gee, I'm highly entertained by your show all the time.
But I have to admit, I'm kind of a weenie liberal.
But that's a hell of an admission.
Why weeny?
Oh, because way back, and I don't even know why it developed, but I can't even come up with any good intellectual argument for it.
It's just the way I am.
Yeah, it's like I read a story the other day that a lot of women in the country are just feeling, and they're not comfortable with it.
They don't even know what they're feeling.
They're just feeling.
And they don't know how to deal with it.
So I guess that's you.
It's just gut.
Yeah.
But hey, I just have one thing I would encourage you to do is not encourage folks to come into the doctor's office looking for these new wonderful benefits that we're going to get from our new health care plans.
Why?
Well, only because we are, as nursing professionals, I can tell you, I'm sure doctors would tell you the same thing.
We're already overwhelmed with trying to take care of as many people as we need to.
And for somebody to come in as an instigator, not that all of your listeners would, but maybe some of them would.
But for somebody to come in as an instigator to find out when they're going to get these benefits, it just puts a burden, a heavier burden on us.
Gee, I feel bad for you.
No, I don't need anybody to feel bad for me.
My wife's a nurse.
I'm a nurse, and no one should feel bad for me.
You know what?
Your burden's going to increase no matter what I do, and I have nothing to do with it.
No, and that's true.
Do you know how many people out there think it's free now?
I mean, they are showing up on their own.
I mean, I didn't urge that to happen.
That did happen.
I just told the story and said, wouldn't it be funny if it kept happening all week?
Well, yesterday when I heard it, that's what I mean.
And I'm sure that there's plenty of instigators out there that might do it.
And I would discourage listeners from falling prey to that.
That's all.
So you don't want me to say something like, attention, everybody, in Port St. Lucie.
There is now free medical care and McNuggets at the local hospital.
Amen.
Amen.
Hey, you know what would be fun?
What?
If you could get somebody like Professor Dyson on with you, and you could kind of take turns if you could keep it civil, and I'm sure you could.
And, you know, you would make a comment, and you could give him, he could give you his read from a liberal perspective.
He would make a comment.
You'd give here's the problem with this.
Not necessarily that it's legitimate one way or another.
I understand where you're coming from.
I understand what you're saying.
People, why don't you talk to more liberals?
Well, here's the thing.
I am more honest than they are about who they are and what they think.
I don't need a liberal to come give me his point of view.
I know it better than he does.
And I'll be more honest than any liberal on this show about what he or she thinks.
Also, it would be pointless.
It would be giving up valuable broadcast time and a forum much larger than any forum these people can get on, such as MSNBC or what have you.
And if I put on a bad show, I lose my audience.
My audience doesn't want to hear from this guy.
My audience wants to hear what I think of this guy because I'm going to be more honest about who he is than he will be.
No pre-existing coverage for kids.
These people are such idiots.
They've been touting coverage for children, pre-existing conditions.
Their bill fails to do that.
There's going to be so much of this kind of incompetence, it's going to be impossible to keep track of it.
But it doesn't change anything, folks.
Biden said it yesterday at the big reality show signing party.
It is a big effing deal.
