Time Text
Okay, guess what, uh ladies and gentlemen on the uh in the Google.
Google search field, Goldman has now come up with their own search link that sends users using the same two search terms to Goldman's response to the SEC's fraud complaint.
Now, Goldman can afford it, but they're up against some really deep pockets.
They're up against George Soros.
I'm convinced of it.
I'm convinced that Soros is.
I mean, Soros is out there saying that the uh economic collapse is a culmination of his life's work.
He has said so.
Anyway, great to have you here, Rushlin Boy at 800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Back now to the ordinary people view Rush as a dangerous Zvengali from a woman identified as Bookworm.
Her website's Bookwormroom.com, although we've shut it down.
It is quite a high compliment to Rush that ordinary liberals believe he has extraordinary powers.
It isn't every conservative radio or talk show host who is perceived as so compelling and seductive that he can destroy people's worldview in an instant.
It's also very frustrating to me, she writes, because in a funny way I agree with my liberal friends that Rush can re-jigger their world view very quickly.
The only thing is, I don't believe Rush works his magic through hypnotism and trickery.
Instead, I think Russia's real magic lies in his ability to view the political world as a vast chessboard, one on which he can see multiple future moves, his prodigious memory, his well-informed mind, his logical analyses, and his funny persona.
He convinces by appealing to our rational mind, our sense of humor, and our knowledge of the world as it is, not as some ivory tower liberal tells us it should be.
So whether by cajolary or challenge, I'm still trying to get my liberals to listen to Rush for all the wrong reasons, they're right about one thing.
He will change their minds.
A rare, rare, rare, accurate interpretation of what happens here.
And what I do.
I have reserved referred to myself as Svengali, people thinking I'm a Svengali.
Uh, on the left side.
Again.
Bookwormroom.com.
I have no idea who the were who the woman is.
Zilch Zero Nada.
But whatever, a lot of people are finding her uh her website now.
I had a guy call a minute ago.
Hey, Russia, I mean, all this focus on the SEC, Goldman Sachs, every kind of losing track here of health care.
We gotta get people revved up about health care.
I said, No, no, no, people are revved up about everything.
The Tea Parties know full well what's happening out there.
They understand a monologue in a one hour ago, folks.
I'm not gonna repeat the whole thing, but people instinctively know Obama's not winning anything because of policy superiority.
He's not winning anything because ideas are better than anybody else's.
He's winning despite his ideas being opposed by a majority of people.
He's winning by virtue of thuggery.
And this is what is animating the Tea Party.
They don't like it.
They instinctively know this is not how things happen in this country.
We don't have authoritative regimes cramming things down the throats of the people until now.
And they don't like it.
Quinnipiac University National poll finds that Obama's bounce has gone flat.
Obama's job approval, which bounced slightly to a 45-46% split on March 25th in the wake of the health care victory has flattened out at 4446, his lowest approval rating since his emaculation, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
Here's the pull quote.
The racial split in attitudes toward the president has widened with only slightly more than one in three whites, but virtually all blacks, giving him a thumbs up.
For his job performance, according to the Quinnipiac polster.
The racial split in So, where is all this post-racial unity?
we don't have it exactly as I predicted.
Obama has come to divide.
He never intended to unify anything.
Try this.
Fox News.com.
I mean, it's not a surprise, but it just burns you up when you read this.
United Nations ballooning $132 million Haiti peacekeeping budget goes mostly to itself.
To its own personnel.
The United Nations has quietly upped this year's peacekeeping budget for earthquake-shattered Haiti to $732.4 million, two-thirds of that amount, going for the salary, perks, and upkeep of its own personnel, not residents of the devastated island.
The United Nations has quietly upped this year's peacekeeping budget.
A plans to spend more money on an extended force of some 12,000, 675 soldiers and police, plus some 479 international staffers, 669 international contract personnel, 1,300 local workers, just for the 12 months that will end June 30th.
Some 495.8 million dollars goes for salaries, benefits, hazard pay, mandatory rest and relaxation allowances, and upkeep for the peacekeepers and their international staff support.
Only about 33.9 million or 4.5% of that salary total is going to what the UN calls national staff attached to the peacekeeping efforts.
So the Haiti relief effort is nothing more than an excuse for the United Nations to pay itself.
12,000 soldiers and cops in Port au Prince, 12,000.
669 international this is this is this is exactly typical of any uh bureaucracy like this.
It is just more in a you let the you let uh any company in the private sector engage in behavior like this.
Can you imagine if during Hurricane Katrina a private sector company set up operations down there specifically to enrich itself and the people it worked for, can you imagine the hell there would be to pay?
Once somebody found out about it.
But now, oh, it's the UN.
They care so much.
They really do.
We have the audio of Bertha Lewis, New York City, Acorn, chief executive officer for the group held a press conference.
Here's a portion of what she said.
Let me just say any group that says I'm young, I'm democratic, and I'm a socialist is all right.
You know, that's not the right thing to do.
To actually say I'm a socialist, as you guys know, right now we are living in a time which is going to dwarf Democratia.
It is going to dwarf the internment during World War II.
What is she talking about?
What in the world is we're living in a time which is going to dwarf the McCarthy era.
It is going to dwarf the internment during World War II.
Wha what what what am I missing here?
Bertha Lewis is the same person who said people have a right to housing.
Acorn right in the middle of the subprime mortgage crisis.
But her guy, a fellow socialist, is running the country.
Who's going to get interned?
McCarthy era going to dwarf the internment during World War II.
Here's the next soundbite.
Right now, in a time that is going to dwarf the era of Jim Crow and segregation.
They are coming.
And they are coming after you.
And they are going to be brutal and present.
They might have really shone it.
Organize.
Give it out to his dream.
We only have got to settle the rain.
This is not matter or hypermann.
This is real.
This rise of this Tea Party so-called movement.
Bow movement.
Oh, the Tea Party's a bowel movement.
That's a that we can perfectly entertain talk like that.
Yes, in the new civility that is Obama's America.
So here's Bertha Lewis, acorn CEO, warning young socialists about the racist Tea Party move.
Oh, I get it now.
So the Tea Party is going to be interning socialists.
The Tea Party is going to come and they're going to take you away and they're going to put you in a camp somewhere.
Now, isn't Bertha Lewis engaging here in dangerous rhetoric?
Do you think Bertha Lewis's words might be encouraging somebody to violence?
Isn't that what Shlick Willie said about me?
And the Tea Party.
Well, these people, folks, I'll tell you it's breathtaking.
It is really a Mars Venus circumstance.
No, I have not forgotten.
I promised I was going to read from uh from Clinton's book, My Lie.
And yesterday, his version of what happened at Waco.
Because it's just, especially in light of what Dick Morris reported yesterday or a couple nights ago on Hannity that Clinton orchestrated the whole thing.
It's fascinating to read this.
I'll get to it in just a sec.
But first, uh Troy, Michigan, this is Rita, and you're next to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hi, Rod.
Thanks for taking my call.
I love you.
Thank you.
And you keep me so informed, and I've just become a big fan.
And I just think the liberals are showing their real face.
Did you hear about this guy from Geico who called Freedom Works and asked how many retards they have working there?
Yeah, yeah, the guy that does the voice over the uh the Geico commercials.
Yeah.
And now he's upset that they've released his words.
Yeah.
And now he's complaining that they are he's going to file a lawsuit.
Against Geico.
No, against Freedom Works for releasing his message.
Oh, so he called he left a message at Freedom Works, left it on tape or something.
Yes, and then Fox played it, and he's going to sue them.
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, he doesn't have any grounds here.
And Geico doesn't want the guy working for them anyway.
Look at Geico doesn't want to make the Tea Party people have to buy insurance too.
I know.
And so the guy goes, the Geico voiceover guy just gone out and basically told the Tea Party guy, we don't want you Geico.
Well, that's not Geico's point of view.
So let the guy sue the Tea Party.
I know, but I'm just saying they're showing their ugly heads, aren't they?
Yeah, they are all over the place.
No question about it.
I mean, this is their they're getting they're getting bold, but they still, you know, Obama still cannot say what he's really gonna do.
What his real plans are.
If he was able to do that, then I would tell you that yes, we've lost America.
Half the country wants to be taken care of.
Half the country's a bunch of freeloaders.
But we're nowhere near that.
Don't believe that we are.
We haven't lost the country.
Uh if if we have Obama wouldn't have to be so misleading about what he's doing.
All right, let me get to this Clinton stuff from his book My Lie.
Life.
Remember Dick Morris yesterday, we had the audio from the night before on Hannity, where he said, nobody knows this.
We've not said this before, but but Clinton actually orchestrated the Waco invasion.
And Janet Reno went to him shortly before his second term inauguration and said, if you don't reappoint me attorney general, I'm gonna spill the beans on this.
Because she was the fall guy.
And so Clinton didn't want the truth coming out.
He appointed Reno.
So here's that's the story.
Here's what he writes or how he writes about it in uh in his book.
So there I was on Sunday night, April 18th.
Janet Reno came to White House to tell me FBI wanted to storm that compound, apprehend Koresh and any of his followers had taken them uh apart and killing agents, some other crime, and free the rest of them.
Now, when Janet made her case of me, uh I thought we should try what it worked in Arkansas before we approve at FBI race.
She she countered FBI was tired of waiting.
Standoff was costing uh government a million dollars a week, tying up law enforcement resources that we needed elsewhere, and those dividians, they they they could hold out longer than the Arkansas people had, and the possibilities of child sexual abuse and and mass suicide were real because Koresh was crazy, uh so so were many of his followers.
So finally I said to Janet that if she thought it was the right thing to do, she could go ahead with the invasion.
And the next day, I'm sitting out minding my own business, uh and I got CNN on a television, just outside the Oval Office, and I uh I saw Koresh's compound in flames.
Uh the the the that that raid had had gone so terribly wrong.
Uh after the FBI had fired a tear gas into the into buildings where the people were holed up, the uh the branch dividion started a fire.
And it got worse.
It got worse when they opened the windows, let the tear gas out, and also let in a hard wind off the Texas planes, and that stoked the flames.
And when it ended, uh more than 80 people had died, including 25 children.
Only only nine of them survived.
I I knew I needed to speak to the press and take responsibility for the fiasco.
That's what he wrote.
That's what he wrote.
It's it doesn't go to show you nobody read his book.
You're hearing about it for the first time.
I remember distinctly when the press went and asked him about it, he said, uh, you gotta Janet Reno, you gotta go, uh Attorney General uh approved that operation.
I mean, he took no responsibility for it whatsoever.
And they did fire tear gas in there.
Remember, Reno, the story from Reno was that they were abusing children in there, that the branch dividians were a bunch of sickles, and that they were abusing the kids.
It was never proven, and and Reno, you know, she had a you know, child abuse was one of her causes.
And what if there was child abuse anywhere uh in the country, you know, the the fear was that Janet Reno's gonna be there with ATF and the FBI and a bunch of tanks to get you uh and whoever's in there out of there, and then the kids as well.
So that was the theory.
She went in there to protect the kids, but they did launch some tear gas in there, and the branch dividians did open the windows, let the tear gas out, but I never knew the branch dividian started the fire.
Have you heard that?
The branch divilians, according to President Clinton's book, My Lie, yeah, the brass divilians started that fire, and uh, and then uh I don't know why, I don't know why they wanted to burn down their own house.
Uh, but they did, and so and they and they uh but then we tear gassed them, and when the and I'm watching this on CNN, I can't believe it's happening.
You know, I'm outside the Oval Office, I'm minding my own business, I just waved bye bye to Monica, and all of a sudden I'm watching CNN there, I'm seeing, whoa, the whole compound's up in flames.
And I said, I never approved that.
So uh then I found out that they set the fire, and and then uh they opened they opened uh windows there uh to get rid of tear gas in a Texas planes.
The winds off Texas planes had roared through there, and that made that fire even worse.
And it was a catastrophe.
Yeah, that's right, that's right, sir.
They set fire on themselves.
And then they opened the windows, let tear gas out, because tear gas was making them tearful.
The tear gas is choking them up, so they had to let they had uh they had to get tear gas out there.
That the the the hard wind off Texas planes, uh then stoked the flames, and uh, you know, eighty eighty people had died, and I knew, I knew I had to speak to the press and take responsibility uh for that fiasco.
You want to hear more from Clinton's book?
You do.
Okay, okay, so so Bill Clinton ends up saying, I knew, I knew that I had to go out there and I had to take responsibility for that fiasco.
But he didn't.
And he blamed Stephanopoulos for not taking responsibility.
Listen to this.
Now, I knew I knew I needed to speak to the press and take responsibility for this fiasco, so So did Didi Myers and so did Bruce Lindsey.
But several times during the day when I want to go ahead, George Stephanopoulos urged me to wait, say we we didn't know whether anyone was still alive or whether Koresh heard my words, he might he might snap and kill him too.
So Janet Reno, she did appear uh before the camera, she explained what happened, and she took full responsibility for the raid.
Now, as as as the first woman to hold Holy Attorney General's post, she thought it was important not to pass the book.
But the time I finally talked to press about Waco Reno, Reno was being praised, and I was being criticized for letting her take the fall.
So for for the second time in less than 24 hours, I had accepted advice that ran counter to my instincts.
I I didn't blame George.
He was young, he was cautious.
He'd given me his honest uh albeit mistaken opinion, but I was furious.
I was furious at myself, uh first for agreeing to the raid against my better judgment, and then for delaying a public acknowledgement of my responsibility for it.
I couldn't stop Janet Reno from taking credit for it.
But she went out there and undercut me.
Really, she was she accepted full responsibility.
I'm I'm having a list of Stephanoplass out there, and oh wait, wait, Koresh may still be alive, may kill some more people in there.
You can't go out there yet.
So, as usual, everyone is to blame except himself.
He says this while saying how much he wanted to take responsibility.
Now it was I, El Rush Ball, who criticized him immediately for not taking responsibility.
Because I'll never forget the sound bite.
I'll never forget it.
I I wish, I don't know if we've got it in the archives, but this is one of the reasons why he went to the White House correspondence dinner and told a racist joke about me.
Because I I made the I laughed and I said, uh Janet Reno about that.
She owned the right.
Uh I didn't know anything about it.
I was in the oval office.
I said, hi bye, Monica, and I'm I'm watching CNN.
I said, whoa!
Damn place is on fire down there.
Um if you read further in the book, he even blames Ken Starr.
Listen to this.
Perhaps one of the reasons why I didn't trust my instincts enough is that the administration was being hammered hard in Washington.
I was being second-guessed at every turn.
So it was a uh it was a vast right-wing conspiracy uh that kept him from taking responsibility for Wacom.
He wanted to, damn it.
He really wanted to take responsibility.
Stephanopoulos told him not to, and then uh Ken Starr being hammered in Washington and everything, should have just should have just trusted his instincts out there.
All right, boy is he Idaho.
This is Robert, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hey Rush, thanks for taking the call.
Yes, sir.
First time in uh first time for talking to a million people, so I uh a little nervous.
Hey, uh I just had a quick question.
I wondered if uh if you had noticed um does it seem odd to you that uh any time we accomplish a high value kill in Iraq that Biden is the one who makes the proclamation, not uh President Obama.
Hmm.
I mean you're right.
I can't think of a time that that wasn't the case, and and it seems like everything is always well planned out and well thought with with their group.
Why do you think that is?
Uh well, my gut feeling is that he doesn't want to be seen as a trigger guy.
Well, there only there's one exception to this.
Remember when the 17-year-old little black kid, the Somali pirates was gunned down.
The White House put the word out that Obama gave the the the gave the kill order.
So they they wanted him to get credit for uh for that.
But you may be right, he just he doesn't want to be public, he doesn't go to go out there and and and be the public face of announcing the kills of uh a couple of Islamic terrorists.
Is that what you're saying?
That is what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, interesting.
Um it could be also because I mean I just sometimes they have to come back and say they were wrong about about who they killed, and of course, that's What Biden is for is to be wrong.
Right.
Uh and make you know verbal slip-ups.
But the this Al I'll tell you this Al Baghdadi, uh, and that means he was from Baghdad.
Like Saddam Hussein's name was Saddam Hussein Altak Creedy, because he was some to crit.
Uh, but this Al Baghdad, well, I saw the picture of Al Baghdadi.
I said, well, I've seen the we killed this guy months ago, I thought.
I I I I knew I'd seen the picture before.
Uh he he was Al Baghdadi was supposedly captured by the Iraqis a few months ago, and now it turns out we've killed him on the battlefield.
So in this case, I think it's uh you know, Biden is is it's okay for Biden to be wrong because that's his job.
Uh Biden's job is to put his foot in it.
Biden's you put a you put a bag of manure on the sidewalk, and it's Biden's job to step on it.
Because he always will.
And Biden's as dumb as a box of Biden's.
So I think that's one of the reasons, but I also think it's possible that they they just send um.
Don't send Obama out there for your right.
I he done one of them.
I I I'm here to announce today that we've uh taken down under a couple uh militant Islamic terrorists.
Somehow he um just doesn't want to do that.
Anyway, Robert, thanks for the phone call.
I uh I appreciate it.
Mother's Day is just a couple weeks away now, and I know it's still a couple of weeks.
And Mother's Day, one of these obligatory holidays, right?
It's like Valentine's Day, it's a conspiracy.
People have come up, okay.
It's Mother's Day.
They threw Father's Day in as an afterthought.
Uh Mother's Day was the biggie.
And you gotta do something, you gotta, you know, more people call mom on Mother's Day than any other time of the year, but people behave this way.
You know, and I've always as I've told you, I always say, if everybody else is doing it, I'm not doing it.
Valentine's Day, all that only exception has been Christmas and Thanksgiving.
But anything else, if everybody if if just doing it because they think they should, or because they have to, turns out I have blown it with that behavior.
Uh because I have misjudged the expectations of people on the receiving end.
Maybe I don't want to behave like a sheep, but the people who expect something on Mother's Day or Valentine's Day expect me to be a sheep.
And of course, in the expectations game, sometimes it makes more sense to be a sheep, or at least perceived to be one, even if you're not.
So my advice to you here is to do yourself a favor and take care of it now.
And you can do that by calling my friends at ProFlowers.
It's that easy.

Rush Proflowers.com.
Yeah, it's uh audio sum by 28 and uh Robert Gibbs this afternoon and the White House uh said that uh the uh Obama, the regime is gonna keep Goldman's money.
They're not gonna return the one million dollars in campaign contributions from Goldman to the regime.
The uh the question was on Goldman Sachs.
Anybody outside or inside the White House suggested that uh the regime might want to give back any donations that came from Goldman Sachs personnel.
President doesn't take and didn't in the campaign take pack money.
Doesn't take money from registered federal lobbyists.
Uh and I think anybody that contributed to the campaign at any point knew where the president stood on regulating Wall Street and regulating the financial industry.
From again that first speech on Wall Street in two thousand seven, the second speech in March of two thousand eight in the same venue we're gonna go to, and then anybody that watched the campaign from sort of mid September on, obviously uh the focus was on uh what to do on Wall Street.
Well, why well wait a minute?
What about what about uh Jack Abramov?
Uh I mean, where's the outrage here?
Isn't Goldman's money as dirty as Abramov's is?
So Gibbs' point is hell no, we're not giving the money back.
They knew what they were in for.
They knew what we were gonna we that they had every idea what we were gonna do to them.
We made it clear we were out to destroy 'em.
Uh even from our speech in two thousand seven to Wall Street on said, no, we're not giving the money back.
Yesterday in Washington, Capitol Hill, Harry Reid with a presser, Dana Bash at CNN.
Uh had a little exchange with him about meetings between uh Dingy Harry and Wall Street executives.
There's a report that you have also had meetings with Wall Street executives and specifically a fundraiser with them in New York, including executives at Goldman Sachs.
Is that accurate?
And how does that play into this uh dynamic?
I'm leading the effort to rein in Wall Street to make them more accountable and in the too big to fail.
And while Republicans, it seems, are leading the efforts to leave things just the way they are.
Wall Street's responsible for economic disaster, and we must hold them accountable.
So I'm gonna make sure that in this legislation I do everything within my ability to make sure that banks aren't too big to fail.
Thanks, everybody.
Uh did you have fundraiser, sir?
Uh thanks everybody.
And the aide says uh we're clearing out his well, there you have it.
So uh refuses to answer questions about his own Goldman Sachs Wall Street fundraiser.
Uh Wall Street's responsible for economic disaster.
Wall Street is responsible for I'm gonna rate him in.
I'm sorry to be laughing about this because it it really isn't funny.
This is Stalinist.
And and this is why I call these people a regime.
It is government that's responsible for the financial collapse.
I mean, there may be some people of Wall Street have played a role in it, but many of them were just following orders they got from government, just like they are now.
Um Rush Limbaugh's too big to fail.
Rush Limbaugh too big to fail.
Yeah, let them put me in that category.
Rush Limbaugh, yeah, do you think they'd bail me out?
Tim in uh in Dover, you did it again.
Everybody knows that Dover's in Delaware.
If you found a Dover, Ohio.
Uh hello, Tim, welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush, thanks for taking my calls.
Great to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
Um Rush, I had to chuckle earlier.
Uh I hadn't heard about it over the news, but I heard about it on uh when you were talking about it earlier today, the uh the buy GM push and the buy union push.
Um Rush uh uh a couple of weeks ago I had a uh a genus uh uh epiphany here, and um I got tired of hearing people tell me that elections have consequences, you know, very smugly down their nose, these Obama supporters.
So knowing how the union supported Obama and the amount of money they gave him, I decided that I am not gonna buy union products when I have a choice, or uh uh American made products from any company uh who supported Obama monetarily during the elections.
And uh go ahead.
I think there's a lot of that going on.
I think a lot of people figured out here.
If you go by even a Ford for GAW, even though Obama doesn't own them, forgive UAW, you go you go I mean, if you want to go buy something that's not union, you still go by Toyota.
Correct.
And you know, Rush, I just decided elections do have consequences, and and this is what I can do from my end to make sure elections have consequences.
Well, I understand there's a lot of people doing what you're doing, and let me just clarify here.
This is not uh a move that's oriented against rank and file union employees.
It's your money that's being absconded in the form of dues that's being spent uh to advance the regime's agenda.
So it's it's not people who saying I'm not buying union.
It's not that they don't want to support you.
It's that what's being done with your due is money that they're trying to counter.
Here is uh Scott in McKay, Ohio.
Great to have you, sir.
The EIB network.
Thanks, Rush.
It's uh great to talk to you.
I'm I want to get back to Bertha Lewis for a second.
She's always amusing, but um this whole thing about uh internment camps.
Do you think that's just left wing projection?
Because I'm wondering, you know, they they haven't really uh when's the last time we had uh White House proxies uh accusing commentators like yourself of sedition.
Uh that's pretty new.
Yeah.
Well, maybe she's really thinking about that in the back of her mind when she's claiming that they're coming to get her.
She's thinking, haha, they're gonna come and get him.
Even so, who is the they?
Who is who is coming to get Bertha Lewis to intern her?
She's got to mean the Tea Party people.
That's what she's talking about.
But if anybody's gonna be interning anybody, it's the regime.
Where are you gonna go?
Are you gonna have like an offshore pirate radio station?
You know.
You gotta think about that.
If it came to your backup plan.
You know, I've got a well, I got two backup plans.
One of them's Australia.
Uh right.
And and I They speak English.
Yes, they do.
And you can see Greg Norman now and then, too.
We'll be back after this.
An amazing story in the New York Times today, long story about Mike Allen of Politico.
The headline, Mike Allen, the man the White House wakes up to.
It's all about Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director, checking in by email with the same reporter, Mike Allen of Politico.
Listen to this uh paragraph.
Pfeiffer, every morning, tells Mike Allen of Politico the message the Obama administration is trying to drive that morning.
Drive being the action verb of choice around the male-dominated culture of Politico, a three-year-old publication, which is uh the off-stated goal is to become as central to political addicts as ESPN is to sports junkies.
Now, this makes the point that that the White House to get their message, their daily message out, their go-to guy is Mike Allen of Politico, because he's got this uh uh thing he puts out the playbook every morning, it gets blast emailed uh to everybody in the media.
