Time Text
I am America's anchorman, America's real anchorman, America's truth detector, the doctor of democracy.
I am the troublesome vitriolic Rush Limbaugh on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's open line Friday.
That means when we go to the phones, the content of the show is up to you.
Whatever you want to talk about is fine, even if I am not interested in it.
800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, you can send an email to LRushbaugh at EIBnet.com.
Let me ask you a question.
If George W. Bush got on Air Force One and flew over the state of Rhode Island, where they have experienced a flood that they haven't had in 200 years, homes almost completely submerged, people genuinely homeless in the state of Rhode Island.
If George Bush had flown over all that at altitude, he couldn't even really see it on his way to two fundraisers in Maine, do you think we would have heard about it?
Oh, yeah.
Well, that happened yesterday.
Except it was Obama who flew over flood-ravaged Rhode Island.
The FEMA director, the FEMA director, he was nowhere near.
He was at some hot conference in Orlando.
Where I understand they've got a lot of babes that play the field, the cocktail and pancake waitresses and so forth.
Never know.
Never know.
So we have the situation where Obama says, well, you know, we'll stop on the way back.
He calls them.
He calls them in Massachusetts and then heads on back to the White House.
And not even Fox is pointing this out.
And one of the reasons, I think, is we didn't see the actual suffering people.
We didn't see people on the roofs of their houses being plucked by helicopters.
No shooting helicopters.
We didn't hear of any rapes and sort of stuff going on inside these homes.
And of course, this wasn't sexy.
Floods are just not sexy to the media when they happen to middle-class people.
They're just not sexy.
As Obama doesn't care about white people.
I mean, that's what I said about Bush.
He didn't care about black people.
I guess Obama just didn't care.
The regime doesn't care about white people who get flooded out.
Okay, let's talk a little health care here.
Paul Mehringoff at the TowerlineBlog.com.
Buried in the newly enacted health care reform legislation is a provision that amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to require employers to provide a reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for a nursing child for one year after the child's birth each time such employee has need to express the milk.
In addition, the employer must provide for this purpose a place other than a bathroom that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public.
Businesses that employ fewer than 50 employees are exempt from these requirements if they can show that following them would impose an undue hardship.
The burden of proof will be on the employer and may be difficult to meet in most cases.
This is in the healthcare reform.
On the other hand, things could have been worse for employers.
Yesterday, April 1st, a wag claimed that but for Republican intervention, the legislation would have required a windowed room with a view of a tree, lace curtains, and a pleasing floral wallpaper.
The mother's retreat must be equipped with diminishable or dimmable lighting, Lalesh-approved breastfeeding rocker, and be stocked with warm towels.
Could have been worse.
At any rate, that's in the health care bill.
In Mount Dora, Florida, a doctor who considers the national health care overhaul to be bad medicine for the country posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for Obama to seek care elsewhere.
He's a urologist and he's peed off.
I'm not turning anybody away.
That would be unethical, said Dr. Jack Castle, 56, registered Republican opposed to the healthcare plan.
But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it.
I'm not personally turning them away, but if they read the sign, they don't come in.
Sign says, if you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere.
Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years.
That's the sign.
I love, I love these people.
I love these people that don't conform.
I love these people that stick.
This reminds me of something.
Somebody said that Obama said, yeah, you know, you really got to have a thick skin to deal with the vitriol like you get from Rush Limbaugh and so forth.
You really got to have a thick skin to be able to deal with all.
I have a serious question about this.
What really can I or any critic do to the regime?
It's just words.
What really can I do?
I mean, I cannot change his health care.
I cannot raise his taxes.
I cannot seek to destroy the world in which he lives in because I have some long-held grudge against it.
I can't do one thing to anybody in the regime, but the regime can totally screw us up.
They can change our way of life with the stroke of a pen, and they're doing it.
They can violate the Constitution left and right.
They're doing it.
They can raise taxes.
They can send us off to war.
They can do any number of things.
Who's not going to, they're not going to believe it.
I have no influence.
I'm not saying I don't have any influence.
What can I do to Obama?
Yeah, in 1994, we led the revolt.
They got rid of that regime.
And they made me an honorary member of the freshman class that year.
But I still, I'm just an honorary member.
I still could not go to the floor of the House.
I couldn't vote.
I couldn't propose legislation.
My only point here, ladies, what thick skin?
He needs thick skin to deal with.
Maybe it's true in the sense that he's been an entitled little kid his whole life.
Nobody has dared criticize him for a host of reasons.
And now all of a sudden he's being criticized.
And I think in this case, he didn't criticize the criticism he knows is true.
And that's what offends him.
People daring to tell the truth about him and his regime.
So anyway, this doctor, I love this doctor because his doctor, if you don't like the, you know, healthcare changes right now, not in four years.
Estelle Chapman, or Estella Chapman, 67, whose daughter snapped a photo of the typewritten sign, sent the picture to U.S. Congressman Alan Grayson, the Orlando Democrat, who's looney to literally an order of fries short of a happy meal.
I mean, this guy's just a lunatic.
So it's going to be fun to see what he does with this.
Castle, it says here, may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law, and medical professionalism at the University of Florida's College of Medicine.
Wait a minute.
We have a professor of bioethics, law, and medical professionalism.
You can take a course in medical professionalism.
Hmm.
Anyway, Allen said that doctors cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, but political preference is not one of the legally protected categories specified in civil rights law.
By insisting he does not quiz his patients about their politics and has not turned away at patients based on their vote, the doctor's trying to hold on to the nub of his ethical obligation, Allen said.
But he is pushing the limit.
Well, however, it ends up, folks, this is still fabulous.
Healthcare changes begin right now, not in four years.
If you voted for Obama, get the hell out of here.
Doesn't say that, but that's the message.
Now, Washington Post today: Those angry about healthcare generally concerned about the country's direction.
Now, the headline's kind of inspiring, isn't it?
Maybe, oh, maybe in a rare instance where the Washington Post, the state-controlled media, actually get it.
But if you read the story, which I'm not going to bother with, I'll just tell you the narrative here: that it's a bunch of old white conservatives who are angry and want to go back to the Leave It to Beaver and Ozzy and Harriet days.
As usual, it's a bunch of old white people here who are angry.
Let's see, where did they find Bakersfield, California, Kentucky, Hopkinsville, Kentucky?
Let's see, somewhere in New York.
So they didn't go strictly to the South to find this, but nevertheless, those angry about healthcare generally concerned about the country's direction.
And that's exactly right.
We're very much concerned about what's happening to the country.
Quick timeout, folks.
Be right back after this.
Don't go away.
You just got hammered on your 09 taxes.
And unless you do something soon, 2010 could be even worse.
Take heart.
LegalZoom.com reminds you that one fast, easy, and affordable solution might be to incorporate that business you've been thinking of.
Check with your tax planner because even a part-time work-from-home business can provide tax deductions for car expenses, a home office, much more, not to mention asset protection.
Now, maybe you're like the mom who incorporated their legal Zoom and launched her amazing toffee recipe into a successful business, or the grandpa whose hobby led to his own fishing products company.
Whatever your business dream is, now is the time to let legalzoom.com help you launch it.
And if you're currently self-employed and file Schedule C, you can save thousands in self-employment taxes this year with a legalzoom.com incorporation.
Now, LegalZoom is not a law firm.
It was started by top attorneys to provide self-help services at your specific direction.
Visit legalzoom.com today.
That's legalzoom.com.
Another reason to incorporate, if I can expand on this, is if you, especially for an independent contractor self-employed, filing Schedule C, itemized deductions, you are going to pay Medicare tax on every dollar you earn.
If you incorporate, you can limit the amount of income you pay because you don't have to call all of your income income.
Some of it can be bonus, dividends, whatever you want to call it.
Talk to your tax attorney about it or your tax preparer.
And then if you do want to do it, LegalZoom can make this happen lickety split so easy and quick that you'll never use anybody else for simple legal procedures again.

Kathleen and Endicott or Ellicott City, Maryland.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you so much, Rush, for taking my call.
I am a first-time caller.
I'm very nervous here.
You don't sound it.
Well, I'm one of those Tea Partiers that since last April, I've been to our state capitol and to D.C. several times.
And there is verbal attack during the Tea Partiers.
I can tell you because it happened to my friend and myself.
I was at 9-12.
I was at various different ones.
But the Tea Partiers, those of us who are law-abiding citizens and pay our taxes and work two jobs and are totally screwed by our government, our current government, not one piece of trash is left on the ground.
Not one name was called.
Everybody was very patriotic and therefore, you know, against high government and this and that.
Anyway, the day that the bill was pushed through by Pelosi and her gang, my girlfriend and I were leaving the rally, heading towards the metro.
And out of nowhere, this guy, which was, I'm 5'2 ⁇ , he was about six and a half feet tall, starts saying, where the hell were you eight years ago?
And I go, what?
He said, where were you eight years ago?
I said, I don't know.
Well, you weren't here.
This is war.
This is war.
I said, no, it's not.
It's about government, run healthcare.
It's about socialism.
He said, this is not about socialism.
I'm from a socialist country.
And I was, okay, just about then, some lady came with an Obama hat and started walking with him and started cussing me out and saying, you know, all kinds of things that I won't repeat against me.
So there is attacking, but it's from the other side.
Well, it's even worse than that.
And it's going to get worse than that.
What's going to happen here is that Obamaites and SEIU people are going to be fake members of the Tea Party.
They're going to dress up.
They're going to be clean.
They're going to look just like all the other Tea Partiers do.
And they're going to start throwing eggs and they're going to start beating people up or what have you.
Or they're going to start shouting the N-word whenever they have the chance.
They will do anything they can to discredit the Tea Party.
Those of you in the Tea Party who go to these rallies, I'm sure you're aware of the effort to besmirch you by accusing you of shouting the N-word at John Lewis.
That did not happen.
I know it didn't happen.
There's no evidence that it happened.
If they had videotape evidence, it had happened.
They would have shown it.
They don't have it.
They were trying to create it.
They were being provocative.
They were being contentious.
There's no reason that that group of people from Congress had to walk through the crowd.
They never go to the Capitol that way.
They get there in the underground tunnels.
They want it.
And Pelosi carrying that big gavel with that, you know, excremate eating grin on her face.
They were trying to provoke everybody into an incident.
And when it didn't happen, they said it did anyway.
But I tell you, out in the churchlight, Nevada, the Harry Reid thing, they started throwing eggs at the Tea Party people and tried to blame it on the Tea Party people.
It's going to get even worse.
I mean, this is in the handbook.
Remember, they have to discredit their enemies.
They cannot win a debate on ideas in the arena of ideas.
They have to discredit and destroy the people that disagree with them.
Anyway, I'm glad you called.
This is Lorraine X. Lorraine X.
It's been a long time, happily so, but here she is back from San Diego to the EIB network.
Hello, Lorraine.
Well, hello, Rush.
You know, as one of your more famous liberal callers to the show, I want to first say to all the liberals out there, don't you dare try to hang the racist tag on Rush Limbaugh because I'm going to tell you he's not.
He just has a big mouth.
Now, having said that, Rush, I'm going to let you have it here.
Rush, you teabaggers are out of your freaking minds.
Caravanning all around the country on buses and holding rallies as if you're some sort of a black civil rights.
Lorraine, Lorraine, whatever.
I mean, come on.
What is a teabagger?
The Tea Party people.
No, no, no.
That's not what a teabagger is.
The Tea Party people are Tea Party people.
Well, let me explain it.
Okay?
Well, you bet.
Okay.
If you're going to be British as you guys are going to be accurate in defining a teabagger, I need to have my finger on the bleep button.
Do you know what a teabagger actually is, Lorraine X?
Well, I'm going to tell you this.
We don't drink tea in this country.
We drink coffee.
All I'm saying is awful British of you guys, okay?
That the whole idea of the Tea Party thing years ago was to get rid of the British tea, okay?
You guys are extorting the virtues and naming, you know, and extorting yourselves after the Tea Party.
And it's not, the Boston Tea Party was not about that.
It's against tea.
So why are you using Tea Party?
You are amazing.
I mean, really, it's British.
It's socialist.
It's what socialist?
The whole idea of calling themselves Tea Partiers.
That's British.
Call yourself a Teacher.
A coffee party.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know what to do with this.
Well, see, when a liberal calls up like me and tells you that it's been since you slept?
Well, I can tell you this, Rush.
This whole idea of these Tea Party.
And by the way, there's nothing wrong with socialism, by the way.
It's working quite well in countries, other countries that work in France, it works in England.
And by the way, it also works in Israel.
Working nowhere, but he's not socialist.
He's fascist or Marxist.
Socialist.
Obama?
If he were socialist, I could almost breathe a sigh of relief, but it's worse than that, Lorraine.
President Obama is the best president this country has ever seen.
And I'm going to tell you this: we are not going to fall for all these people off here, these so-called Tea Party leaders out there trying to tell the world that there's something wrong with this health care that he's passed.
And also, where were the Tea Partiers, okay?
When George Bush was going around taking away his sign on all of our rights years ago, ladies and gentlemen, where were they?
I'm just so sorry.
I thought I could handle this and deal with it, but not today.
President Obama not happy with the state-controlled media.
Late yesterday afternoon in Portland, Maine, the leader of the regime said this.
It just happened last week.
It's only been a week.
Can you imagine if some of these reporters were working on a farm and you planted some seeds and they came out next day and they looked and nothing's happened.
There's no crop.
We're going to starve.
Oh no.
It's a disaster.
It's been a week, folks.
That's President Obama scolding the media for polling on his health care plan.
Well, unlike planting crops, you pretty much know what you're going to get.
And when you plant the crops, the only bad thing that can happen is if they don't grow.
But we know because of economics, we know because of past experiences, we know what high taxes cause to people, cause to happen.
In fact, I just saw something.
These new cafe standards that Obama has ordered into effect yesterday are going to raise the price of a car anywhere from $1,100 to $5,000.
It's going to put 50,000 people out of work because they're going to be making fewer cars.
People are going to hold on to their cars longer.
And all of this is on a bogus proposition, global warming, carbon emissions, and all this.
To upgrade these powertrains to get an average fleet mileage, 35 miles per gallon, A, we're all going to be driving around little smart cars.
B, they're going to cost $5,000 more.
Light trucks are going to be hardest hit.
Most consumers now have light trucks and love them.
And they won't be able to afford them.
And they may not be able to make them.
The 35 miles per gallon average corporate fleet means whatever cars you make, the average mile per gallon that they all get got to be 35 or better.
So you can make a light truck, small truck that gets 18, but you better be making something that gets 60 or 50 or 40 miles per gallon to offset that in your fleet or a bunch of others.
But even so, those are still going to have to be ramped up and modified to meet certain standards, cafe standards, and going to cost you $5,000 more.
I mean, everything this guy's doing is going to cost everybody a lot more in taxes, in expenses, in health care insurance premiums, you name it.
So we don't, Mr. President, we don't need to wait four years for all of this disaster to happen.
We want to repeal it.
We want to stop it.
And he had a word for those of us who feel that way.
Now that it's passed, they're already promising we're going to repeal it.
They're going to run on a platform of repeal in November.
And my attitude is, go for it.
You try to repeal it.
Go for it.
You try to repeal it.
That's not vitriolic.
That's not troublesome, is it?
Go for it.
Let's go to Coral in Groton, Connecticut, as we go back to the phones.
Hi, Coral.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Parash.
I'm really happy to talk to you.
My first time calling, and I love you.
Just, you know, a quick thing.
You had said earlier about the article that they wrote, and they basically named it off as old white men who are upset.
Well, you know what?
I'm a young American Indian woman, and I am pissed off.
I love you.
I think you speak to a bunch of generations.
And I just happened to hear the piece that you did about breastfeeding, all that stuff that they put in the health care bill about parents having to provide for breastfeeding.
Exactly right.
I have two kids.
I breastfed both of them.
I worked and I went to school.
I did it in a nurse's office.
I did it in a bathroom.
And you know what?
It's your choice.
You make arrangements.
You do it yourself.
It should not be in a government law.
It should not be any kind of arrangement.
Now, don't get me wrong.
I believe in breastfeeding.
I think it's great for the children.
I did it for both of mine.
And I know the government will probably use the excuse that this is our way of encouraging mothers to breastfeed.
Well, I'm sorry.
If they're going to put restrictions on employers to encourage people to do the right thing, what are they going to do next?
Are they going to encourage employers not to give employees smoke breaks because they want to encourage people not to smoke cigarettes?
I think they shouldn't have a say in that aspect of our lives.
It's a choice.
And I'm sorry, if you're a mother and you have a kid and you want to breastfeed, then you do it on your own terms.
You don't need the government telling your employer where you're going to do it, how you're going to do it, when you're going to do it, and that they need to provide you with flowers and trees.
You probably are pretty unique in that quarrel.
I think a lot of breastfeeders would love having the government tell their company got to give them a private room, no windows and so forth.
Can't be a bathroom.
And make that room available for a year.
You know, it's just, it's not right.
You know, it's a decision that we make.
And yes, it's good for your kid, but it shouldn't impact your job.
It shouldn't impact, you know what?
That's the way you're going to be.
And if you really want to think about it like that, then maybe you should think about working somewhere else, working at a different time.
Or, you know what, there's a lot of mothers out there who don't work at all now.
I'm not saying that that's the right option for everybody, but you should not have special concessions made to you because you choose to be a breastfeeding mother.
Just like I don't think people should have special concessions made to them because they choose to breastfeed.
This has been a long time.
Coral, this has been a long time coming.
They started with things like this, with six months maternity leave paid and then sick leave and then personal time off to go visit the veterinarian and you have to get paid.
They started, well, it was unpaid at first and they knew that incrementally they would make the employer pay for all this time off they were mandating.
This is just more of this regime trying to control business.
Now, I need to ask you a question since you are a breastfeeder.
When I read the details of what's in this bill about breastfeeding, I have never heard, because I am not a breastfeeder, I have never heard the term express.
What is express milk?
I think I know what that means.
They sell these machines that look like, I'm sure everybody's seen them in an informational video, they look like the things that they hook up to cow's udders, and it uses a certain amount of suction to express the milk.
This way, when you're not with your infant, say your infant is in daycare or with a family member or just at home and you are away, you have to continue to pump the milk or express the milk so that you'll continue to make it.
If you don't express it, i.e. back in the day before, you know, women weren't with their infants all day, if the child wasn't eating as much, your body knew to make less.
So if you're a long away from your child for long periods of time, eight or nine hours at a job, then what ends up happening is your body thinks that the child's not eating, so you're not producing as much milk.
So you do have to pump.
But you know what?
It's like 10, 15 minutes sitting real quick.
It's a machine that takes care of it.
You mean it's like kind of like milking?
You know, it's not intense.
It's not difficult.
I mean, I went to school and worked with both of my kids.
And you know what?
I may do.
Well, I have no doubt you did.
No doubt at all.
I have no doubt that you master every situation you encounter.
Now, this sounds like just what they do to milk cows.
Is that what you're saying?
Exactly, yeah.
Who knew?
You probably get a subsidy for it.
Anyway, Coral, I'm glad you called.
It's great.
You've been great.
I got to go.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back after this.
Just got a very short message from a very close friend about the discussion of suction and breastfeeding on the radio program.
TMI buy.
Too much information.
Buy.
The one thing about this that just now hit me: what the hell is a woman doing with an infant at work in the first place?
Oh, all.
The baby's not there.
That's okay.
That's what expressing the milk is.
Oh, okay.
So it is like milking a cow.
And then you put the expressed milk in a container, refrigerate it for later usage.
Oh, okay.
Because I was going to, well, I was going to say, what's it?
Does the kid have to be your own?
And can it be up to age 27?
Because in the healthcare bill, your kids can be on your insurance policy up to age 27.
You heard the old joke.
Had a nightmare last night.
I dreamed I was Dolly Parton's baby and she was not breastfeeding me.
Or you could use it about Raquel Welch.
That's a very old joke.
Oh, I want to go back to these sound bites.
There's something here that doesn't quite jibe.
Let's first go back to yesterday afternoon in Portland, Maine, and we're going to stay in Portland, Maine for the second sound bite.
This is Obama making good on my prediction of what he would say after the health care bill was signed.
After I signed the bill, I looked around.
I looked up at the sky to see if asteroids were coming.
I looked at the ground to see if cracks had opened up in the earth.
You know what?
It turned out it was a pretty nice day.
Birds.
Birds were still chirping.
Folks were strolling down the street.
Nobody had lost their doctor.
Nobody had pulled the plug on Granny.
And nobody got the bill yet.
Now, also, folks, nobody pulled a plug on Granny.
So here he is in Portland, Maine yesterday, pointing out that, hey, look at we signed this thing, and none of these things these people said would happen would happen.
But when he's talking about the criticism of the bill, he says.
Now that it's passed, they're already promising we're going to repeal it.
They're going to run on a platform of repeal in November.
I meant to give you 18.
18 is the one I want to use here.
Hit 18.
That's it.
It's only been a week.
Can you imagine if some of these reporters were working on a farm and you planted some seeds and they came out next day and they looked and nothing's happened.
There's no crap.
We're going to starve.
Oh no.
It's a disaster.
It's been a week, folks.
He was upset at the meeting for Polly.
So it's been a week.
It's only been a week.
And why are you criticizing it?
And yet earlier in the speech, why, asteroids aren't dropping out of the sky.
Nobody pulled a plug on Granny, whatever.
He does sound a little bit like a stand-up comic there, as opposed to a president.
But I've never thought he sounded much like a president.
Everybody got lulled into thinking he sounded like a president because he was smart, clean, articulate, all the stuff that Biden said about him.
And it convinced a lot of pseudo-intellectuals that he was smart like they think they're smart.
But this guy's not done enough to be presidential.
Certainly not in the private sector.
At any rate, back to the phones.
This is Zachary in Greensburg, Kentucky.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Zach, he dropped off.
Well, let's go down to Jacksonville, Florida, and pick up John.
John, you're next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you today, Rush?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Good.
I wanted to talk to you a little bit about Obamacare and how it's affecting my business.
It has enhanced my business tremendously here in the last couple weeks.
We have a German client who owns five hospitals in L.A. and has had all kinds of run-ins with Medicare and Medicare fraud.
And he supplies medical services to the poor in Los Angeles, drug rehab services and so on and so forth.
And he has decided to fold up shop and completely leave the country.
And in doing so, we're going to try and sell those hospitals to other entities.
But if we can't do that, we're going to close them all.
So you were being facetious when you said that Obamacare was enhancing your business.
Well, no, I'm actually going to make several million dollars off this transaction.
If you can't sell them, though, you have to close them.
What if you don't sell them?
If we don't sell them, then we close them.
Yeah, but you still, you don't make any money if you don't sell them, right?
No, we make plenty of money by just closing them.
Here's what happens.
He's got a healthcare corporation that is a double-taxed entity.
It's a C Corp.
And so when he wants out of this business, he's got to pay taxes on the money that he's got in the corporation.
Now, he's got about $125 million worth of properties.
And if you take that amount and knock 50% off of that, and then he's got his shares, it's 100% owned by him, and he's got to pay 50% tax on his shares.
He only winds up with about one-fourth of what he could sell those properties at.
Now, if we take the shares of the C Corporation and buy the C shares of the corporation for a premium over what he would net after paying taxes, then he gets to walk away with a shareholder's premium, and we have $125 million worth of money.
Aha!
Aha!
So you're an investment banker, obviously.
That's correct.
You're an investment banker.
Can you tell me the firm?
