Time Text
Alha, how are you?
Greetings, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane, the award-winning Thrill Pact, ever exciting, increasingly popular, never funnier, Rush Limbaugh program, fun frolic and frivolity for all, as well as a serious discussion of issues when warranted, which quite a bit these days.
Telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.
The email address, lrushball at EIBnet.com.
Interesting story here in the Politico today.
Cell phone led to Times Square bomber arrest.
The number from a disposable cell phone led FBI agents to the suspect arrested Monday night for allegedly driving a car bomb into Times Square Saturday night.
They were able to basically get one phone number by running it through a number of databases, figure out who they thought the guy was, the official said.
A huge law enforcement force tracked the suspect through the afternoon and evening.
Arrested 11.30 p.m. at JFK in New York City.
Now, it's an innocuous sounding story, right?
Cell phone.
Disposable cell phone.
I didn't read anything here about a warrantless search.
You remember, ladies and gentlemen, the huge, the continuing furor and the left over warrantless wiretaps and other such tactics through the bush years.
Now, this is not precisely the same thing as listening in on phone calls, but neither was the wiretapping, which used keyword searches over large numbers of anonymous conversations to create databases.
Potential suspects could be identified.
And there's no outrage here from the civil libertarian left over the fact that the cell phone records were used to capture this.
Oh, he's now a Pakistani American.
Pakistani American.
I just got an email during the break.
Here, Rush.
The subject line here is the good old days.
What's happened to Clarence Frogman Henry?
What's happened when you used to talk about Gerard Depardieu and Harvey the Whale?
Now, Harvey the Whale, that was out.
The stupid idiot whale got lost in the Sacramento Delta.
That's many, many moons ago.
Anita H., Rita X, Mike Tyson intros with Pencil Net Geeks, Dan's Bake Sale of Fun Updates.
I used to laugh myself silly on your show.
Now it seems like the fun is long gone.
How about one laugh?
Snerdley was laughing throughout the first hour.
I was laughing throughout the first hour.
But if you...
What's that?
Okay, so now a staff member said, you didn't sound funny.
Snerdley's only laughing because he can see you.
I cannot cut a break in it.
I'm in the midst of one of the finest programs ever.
I got staff mutiny practically here.
So go ahead.
Give me a time off.
Get a little break here.
Go ahead and laugh now.
White comedian Paul Shanklin with a few laughs, the EIB network, and see you in November.
Since there seems to be a general consensus among those closest to me that this show is nothing special today, and in fact, somewhat disappointing, fine and dandy.
We'll go to the phones.
We're going to start in Jacksonville, Florida.
This is Martin.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Well, it's a pleasure to be on the show.
It's an honor to meet you.
Thank you for allowing me on the show.
Thank you very much, sir.
Well, first, I want to start off by saying that I appreciate you talking about the New York City bomber, what's going on with that.
You're not doing what a lot of these other folks are.
I was listening to Fox News talk driving back across the state yesterday, and some guy was giving the whole game away.
I don't know who comes on at about the same time this time as you do.
Don't worry then.
Nobody heard him.
Okay, except you.
I heard it, and I'm like pulling out my air.
And I'm like, are you serious?
Are you discussing what he screwed up?
Because these guys are going to tighten up their game the next time.
There will be a next time.
You mean you listen to somebody giving away bomb secrets?
No, he's giving away what he messed up on.
Oh.
I'm not going to go into it with you.
Oh, okay.
I will say this.
I am a part-time soldier, but I am a full-time patriot.
Thanks to you.
You have expertise in explosives outside of relationships?
Yes.
Yes.
I'm one of those guys.
I put on the suit.
I worked the robot.
That's who I am.
That's impressive.
And also, if I can, while I'm on the air, there's something else that's going on in the United States military.
I don't know if many people are talking about this, but I want to go ahead and just let you know.
The Constitution is not being taught.
In the U.S. military?
In the U.S. military.
I just came back from an Army leader's school, and we went into this whole thing of Army ethics.
And my ears perked up once I saw that the Constitution was in there.
And I'm thinking, okay, good.
Maybe there isn't a lot of bad stuff going on.
We covered the preamble for 10 seconds and then moved on.
We spent maybe two hours on riot control, but all the Constitution got was 10 seconds of coverage.
We're sworn to support and defend this document.
The real question here is: did they teach you the Miranda warnings?
No.
Well, they slipped up on that, you know, because that's the new policy.
Apparently it is.
I mean, they're more concerned about teaching us rye control.
Well, were there any American Pakistanis or American Afghanis or American Iranians in the military class that you were in?
Oh, no.
No, no.
Well, that could have explained it.
Don't want to offend them.
The Constitution.
We'll be back after this, folks.
This is great.
So here's the headline in the New York Times.
Bomb suspect said to implicate himself.
Now, for those of you in Rio Linda, I know that sounds vaguely obscene.
It really isn't.
All it means is that he is telling them it's his fault that he did it.
But listen to the first line of the New York Times story.
A Connecticut man pulled off a plane back for Dubai, arrested in a failed bid to set off a car bomb in Times Square, has made statements implicating himself.
A law enforcement official said on Tuesday morning, the man Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized United States citizen from Pakistan, was taken into custody just before midnight Monday at JFK aboard an Emirates flight, blah, blah.
So he's implicating himself out there.
All right, back to the phones we go.
Who is it next?
Jerry in Bay Village, Ohio.
You're up next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Thank you, Rush, for taking my phone call.
I've been listening to you a lot, but I had heard your comment earlier while I was out driving doing my job about how the left would spin this into something that wasn't that popular.
That this man might have, the newscatcher said that they foreclosed on his home and he was probably just a little depressed, and this might be the act of a depressed man.
And I thought to myself, in the last year, I believe there's probably three or four million people that have been foreclosed on.
So I think it might be our civic duty to warn New York there may be three or four million SUVs parked in the city this week with explosives packed in there.
And I think we should warn them.
And then I thought of the other side of that is that maybe Obama can then come out after that does happen and say that car sales are up 4 million, fertilizer bags have been sold at 12 million, and the right's not doing any about it.
Right, and the economy is rebounding at the same time, all because of the stimulus bill.
Stimulus money buying the fertilizer bags, stimulus money buying the SUVs from General Motors and Chrysler because we've run Toyota out of business or we're close to.
Yeah, I think it would probably be a public service to warn the mayor of New York, his honor, Michael Bloomberg, to be able to look out for a whole bunch of SUVs and people who have been foreclosed on here.
If you didn't hear the soundbite folks, listen to soundbite.
This is number 10 this morning on CNN.
The fill-in host Jim Acosta talking about Faisal Shazad.
If it can be confirmed that his house was foreclosed on in recent years, one would have to imagine that that brought a lot of pressure and a lot of heartache on that family.
Yeah.
So it's just if it weren't so outrageous, I mean, it would just be.
Do these people realize, I don't think they do, how absolutely dumb and stupid they sound, how utterly predictable.
CNN, do you people wonder?
I mean, the co-founder of CNN, Mr. Acosta, is worried that CNN is becoming a joke, and you are exhibit A.
The co-founders think CNN is becoming a joke.
And it's comments like this that contribute to people thinking that.
Jason of Fargo, North Dakota, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi.
Hey, I'll get right to it.
I believe we all can agree that the N-word used in any context other than literally with written permission, you know, and amongst friends, should never be used.
Well, no, it's not to use.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
There are exceptions to the use of the N-word.
Robert Byrd can use it on Fox, the senator from West Virginia.
A number of other Democrats are exempted from using the word.
So it's not.
Jesse Jackson can say the word.
It's not totally proscribed.
I just want you to know some Americans have an exemption.
Well, with the rest of us not having the exemption, again, the word shouldn't be used, causes too much pain, fill in the blank, it's just wrong.
Rush twice now in two days, I've heard you use the word teabagger.
Even in tongue-in-cheek, that word cannot be used.
It implies too much.
It's too repugnant.
And it just, I just can't stand hearing it.
And I promise you this, buddy.
I love you.
I love your program.
Everything you do.
I buy products.
If I hear that one more time, not only will I never listen again, I will never purchase a new product that you sell.
And that's just it.
It cannot be.
Now, wait just a second.
Wait just a minute.
I understand how upset you are, but sometimes I'm going to be quoting people who use the word to deride them.
When I use that word, it is to throw it right back at them.
There is nobody that listens to this program who believes that I use that term to be accurate in describing Tea Party people.
Of course, not saying you're using that you blank blank or you know, but just keeping, I'm sorry to sound corny or liberal on this, which I'm not.
It just instills too much pain.
You know, use the T-word or something else.
Just not that word.
Okay.
So, well, I take the suggestion under advisement, Jason.
Thanks very much.
I'm sitting here.
As I said, you know, it's a good thing, folks, that I have a strong sense of self.
And it's a really good thing that I like myself, love myself, in fact.
Because here I am in the midst of what I think is one of the sometimes funniest, best, most penetrating, great programs in a long, long time, and I'm getting complaints about it from my staff, innocent bystanders, emailers.
No, sternly, I'm not going to say that the T-worders are.
Let's see, dare we, I mean, I thought the phones were going to be a sanctuary and a refuge for me, but no, I'm getting it from all four corners.
He did threaten me.
He threatened.
He threatened to incur financial harm on me, my sponsors, my program, and my licensed merchandise business at Club Gitmo.
By the way, Charles Krauthammer said that because of this incident in Times Square, that Gutmo will be open another year, that Obama won't be able to close it.
Who's next?
Larry in Chicago.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, thanks for taking the call.
Yes, sir.
I'm not going to give it to you today, so you're safe here.
Hey, I've been finding that the left is kind of, it's getting to the point where there's just no holes barred.
This morning, we've got a radio talk show host here in Chicago.
She's one of, I think, Ed Schultz's little lieutenants.
I don't know if you want me to say her name or not.
Stephanie Miller, you know who she is.
She used to be a fox.
She's let herself go.
And I quote, she was disappointed that the bomber wasn't a white guy.
Now, wait a second.
Is this station?
I don't want you to give it call letters.
No, I'm not.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't want to dictate.
Is this station actually in Chicago or is a suburban station 40 miles outside of town with a 5,000-watt stick?
It could be the case, but it is a nationally syndicated talk show.
Well, no, it's not because it doesn't cover 50% of the country.
But all I'm saying is the rhetoric, Rush.
The rhetoric is a lot of people.
I understand Friday.
Just let me say this, too.
On Friday, God is a Democrat because of the oil spill, because this way they can stop offshore drilling.
Yeah, this is the kind of rhetoric the right is accused constantly.
Well, I've got some soundbites coming up of leftists on TV going nuts with what I've said about the oil spill.
One more thing.
Can I say one more thing?
Well, yeah, sure.
Show go ahead.
I'm just sitting there like a pot of Arizona.
They're railing on this Arizona thing, too, and they're saying all papers and Nazis and stuff like that.
I would consider it, you know, when you're pulled over, you're asked for, you know, driver's license and proof of insurance.
That's not Nazism.
And the name Laraza is the race.
So for the race to be calling other people Nazis, that's the height of hypocrisy.
It's the height.
It is hypocrisy, but it's not.
It's not frustrating, Rush.
Yeah, I know, but you got to look past it.
It's like this God is a Democrat business.
What that comment means, God's a Democrat.
Oh, good.
An oil well blows up so that we will not have any more oil wells.
We will go ahead, we will pollute the Gulf, we'll kill a bunch of birds, we'll cause all kinds of economic disaster, and we will celebrate that so that we don't have any more oil wells dug.
I am being accused of saying exactly that when it's Democrats and liberal people that are saying it.
Now, I have a story here from Brian Maloney, Radio Equalizer, that says it was the hapless Contessa Brewer who was on the Stephanie Miller show, who says it used to be a Fox, but she's let herself go.
It's too many appearances on Larry King.
Contessa Brewer was on the Stephanie Miller show.
I guess this was, I don't know when this was.
I can speed read this.
Anyway, she said, I mean, the thing is that, and I get frustrated, there was a part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin colors a certain way.
I mean, they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.
So it was the hapless Contessa Brewer of Mess NBC who was expressing sadness that a white Tea Party person was not responsible for the explosion, the near explosion in Times Square.
So there's that.
I guess we're going to, more phone calls.
We come back.
I'm also going to spend some time here analyzing or letting you hear government-run media try to essentially blame me for the oil spill.
I know, I know, I know there's an email change going on.
I know there's an email chain going on about this.
It's just, it's the St. Louis Rams thing all over again.
It's Michael J. Fox all over again.
It never works.
It never works, but it is, it's just amazing.
21 years and it never stops.
They never debate me on what you actually say.
They have to lie about things I didn't say that put that out there, try to discredit me.
So I'm sitting here, I'm listening to a little bit of the Janet Napolitano Eric Holder press conference on the apprehension of Faisal Shahzad.
Folks, it sounds more like the Academy Awards than any attempt to give us any information.
They're just, all they're doing is patting each other on the back.
I'd like to thank so-and-so for Derek Greenwood.
Oh, that's fine, but I want to thank you.
You went out of your way.
I want to thank the police commissioner.
I want to thank the T-Chert veteran.
I want to thank.
It is, I've been to these government ceremonies before.
They build a building and they think they have parted the Red Sea.
And they spend all of two hours telling you all the great work that they did.
Janet Napolitano and others are saying about this incident.
If you see something, say something.
Except if you're in Arizona, then it's don't ask, don't tell.
Well, she didn't say that, but we all know that that's what we mean.
Now, the assistant FBI, the deputy director there, John Tistoli, just announced that Shahzad has been mirandized.
Thank God, or he could have to be let go.
And he's still continuing to talk.
Obviously, a cry for help for the ACLU, which I'm sure will be on the case very soon.
And they keep saying, I'm told here, they keep saying that New Yorkers can now rest easier.
We were told all weekend the bomber was an amateur crank, lone wolf, sort of one-off.
Now it looks like he's a Muslim terrorist, might very well be working with other international terrorists.
And if they're going to tell us, like the caller said a minute ago, if they're going to tell us that this guy committed this act or wanted to blow up Times Square because he was foreclosed on, well, how many other millions of Americans have been foreclosed on and thus are likely to act in the same way?
So we must be and remain vigilant.
All right, to go to the audio soundbites.
There's a giant email chain letter going around, stuff from the news media to blogs, to try anything to take the attention away from the regime on their incompetence regarding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Of course, what I'm saying about it is absolutely horrible.
What I am saying about it, and even what I'm not saying about it, but yet what they say I'm saying about it, even though I haven't said it, is far worse than the spill itself.
It's far worse than the inaction and the incompetence of Obama and anybody on down the line.
And here's some examples of it.
Last night, Chris Matthews on Mess NBC had Mother Jones' magazine Washington Bureau Chief David Korn talking about the oil spill.
Brush Limbaugh talking about the timing of the oil rig explosion and his theories about what caused it.
What a ridiculous comment to make.
I mean, we're talking about the worst environmental disaster in so many years where a whole part of our world we live in could be destroyed for years and years.
And here's this blowhard saying it might have been sabotaged by the environmentalists who care more about the habitat than anybody.
You've heard of oil.
What do these words he speaks mean anymore?
Well, nothing.
You've heard of oil exploration.
This is oil exploitation.
You know, anything that comes along, you twist it, you put it on the table.
But these titto heads, they're bobbing.
No, no, no.
In the first place, he has not listened to this program nor read the transcripts.
I didn't assign any sabotage in this until the regime sent SWAT teams in there.
And I never accused the administration of blowing up the rig.
I said, it appears the regime may be open to some sort of, had I said eco-terrorism, there wouldn't have been any question here.
But I don't think in those terms.
I just think somebody blew it up and they send SWAT teams?
The regime is sending SWAT teams?
Even the regime, I said, must be open to the idea that this was not an accident.
And they're looking into it.
All of a sudden now, it is I.L. Rushbo claiming that wackos blew it up on person, on purpose, when in fact, a bunch of wacko leftists on the radio are saying, God is a Democrat for blowing up the oil well because this will prevent future oil wells.
And by the way, Chris, you are damn right.
We've got, look at all the money, look at all the effort being spent to save the birds and the habitat from the oil.
And yet, old people, Obama on ABC, give the 100-year-old woman a pain pill.
Don't start talking to me about this stuff.
I mean, there are, you, Chris, do you really believe that there are environmentalist nuts who are not happy that this happened?
Not saying they did it.
But when Bill Nelson, senator from What's His Face, Florida, comes out there and says, well, that's just it.
That's it.
No more drilling.
Absolutely no more drilling.
You think they haven't scored a home run here, Chris, the environmentalist wackos?
Then you have Schwarzenegger.
He's sitting at home in his office watching it on TV.
He puts out a statement, no more oil drilling.
It's not going to happen.
Well, whether they did it on purpose or whether it's an accident, the environmentalist left is ecstatic about this.
There's no question.
I'm not the one happy about it in any way, shape, manner, or form.
But I have nothing to do with it anyway.
I'm not running the country not dealing with it.
I'm not the one that waited 12 days before taking it seriously.
Yeah, this isn't my Katrina.
I haven't had one Katrina anyway.
So here's more.
Here's Matthews following up David Korn, who was incoherent in his response.
There's a teaching moment here.
We people are responsible for our habitat.
It's possible for mankind to destroy our habitat.
This is an example.
It is God-given, but God's not keeping it here.
It's staying in our hands.
It's in our hands, and we can destroy our habitat.
We destroy means wipe out.
We didn't destroy Prince William Sound.
Lightning destroys more habitat than man does.
These guys are just, this is the problem.
These people are not thinkers.
They are reactionaries.
They are not curious anymore.
They simply have templates and narratives of their various stories to advance their agenda.
Whenever something comes up, you just plug it in.
And it works.
Same show.
Cynthia Tucker, editorial, what is she?
I guess she's an editorial editor of the Atlanta Urinal, a constipation newspaper, said this.
Back to the political impact here and right-wingers trying to find a way to blame the president.
Because this is happening in real time, it's going to be very hard for them to take people's attention away from BP.
This is BP's responsibility.
People know President Obama wasn't on that oil rig.
And sabotage is out of the question.
BP has not suggested that.
First of all, it's pretty far down for any, quote, environmental wackos, quote, to get to, to blow up an oil rig.
But people understand because it's happening in real time, you can watch the footage of this disaster taking place, that the responsibility falls squarely on BP.
Has Ms. Tucker forgotten?
You know, these people do not understand satire, parody, sarcasm.
Has she forgotten how George Bush steered the hurricane to New Orleans?
How George Bush could have stopped it and didn't?
George Bush didn't want to save black people.
George Bush didn't put FEMA into action down there fast enough because he didn't care that black people.
Have they forgotten all this?
Do they not understand that we are making fun of them by calling it?
And by the way, by the way, it was not it was not any bunch of right wingers that first came up with the phrase Obama's Katrina.
That was state control media that first came up with that.
Finally, to close this out on CNN, Chris Matthews, one more time.
I hear Rush Lembo and the others on the right trying desperately to swim away from this horror.
They're talking up conspiracies about sabotage and all the rest.
I understand that part.
When you're a ditto head, let's face it, it's just one more moronic idea to bob your head to.
Yes, sir.
Good point.
Sure, Rush could be.
I'll have my oil now.
You do not know the delight it is to drive these people not the ditto heads bobbing their heads to whatever.
It's that's the thing.
I mean, if he had an audience, he wouldn't be a problem here, but he knows he doesn't have an audience.
And remember, they said Bush blew up the levees.
Have they forgotten Jesse Jackson?
Bush blew up the levees.
Bush blew up the World Trade Center.
Have these people forgotten all of this that they said?
And even continued over to CNN.
Here's what I said yesterday.
In context, this is after I played the Gene Taylor soundbite where he says the spill will break up.
Gene Taylor, Democrat Mississippi.
He's the guy flying over it.
Yeah, you look down there.
It looks like a bunch of chocolate milk.
But it's breaking up.
Seal take care.
It's not Armageddon.
It's not Katrina.
Here's me talking about that.
He is saying something that happens.
The oil spill will break up.
I'm not trying to minimize it here, but we do have all these, ecology does take care of itself.
The planet does.
Wild a panic?
Oh, a crisis.
Well, it's going to break up.
It's not going to be a giant glob when it hits, but it's going to be, it's going to pose problems.
I'm not saying it's not going to pose problems, but he's saying that as it breaks up, it will break down.
You know, seawater is pretty tough stuff.
Try living in it for a while.
Oil has a tough time surviving.
I mean, there's this many gallons of oil seep from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico every day, just spread out over the whole floor of the Gulf, and it never surfaces because it gets eaten alive.
But it seeps from the ocean floor at this amount, not as concentrated, obviously, as coming from this well.
Anderson Cooper says Gene Taylor and Rush Limbaugh both say there's nothing to worry about here.
There's been some truly weird talk about the Gulf oil spill, and it's come from both sides.
Rush Limbaugh and Gene Taylor say this is just going to break up naturally.
A, is that true?
And B, does it mean we should just let nature take its course?
It's going to break up naturally, same as in Alaska.
We're going to probably wait 40 years or 50 years before it all breaks up naturally.
And what we're going to see here, probably in Louisiana, with a little bit warmer temperature, maybe a little bit more rapid degradation, maybe a little less than 50 years, but who knows how much less.
That's 50 years garbage.
He's talking about Prince William Sound, and it's, you know, I'm going to put some researchers on this because drive-by media was stunned at how quickly it turned around.
They were done.
All these people.
Remember the story about the otter?
They sent the otter out there to cleaning up an otter and sent it back out there to reintroduce it to its habitat.
And the killer whale surfaced and ate the thing in front of a bunch of high school kids playing a band celebrating the event.
And insurance companies upset because it cost them a whole bunch of money to de-oil the otter.
And a number of these people are out there on the rocks with dawn dishwashing detergent and paper towels wiping the rocks because this stuff attacks Greece, they say.
We'll have to do the research on this.
Is that 50 years?
The place is Wall Street Journal, by the way, has a great editorial today talking about the risk of oil wells leaking, having accident versus tankers having problems.
Said the more oil wells we had here, the actual safer we would be because the less we would need tankers traversing the oceans, which are the real risk of giant oil spills, such as the Exxon Valdez.
All right, I got to go.
We'll be back.
More phone calls coming up after this.
Okay, we're back.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
More updates here on Faisal of Shazad from the press conference.
We have somebody that's coming up in a minute.
Shahzad was put through secondary screening when he came back from Pakistan in February.
So there's another reason we're going to want to blow things up because he was disrespected coming back.
It's an American citizen, after all, and they still treated him like he was less secondary.
The FBI director and Napolitano danced around the question.
The press are pretty good here a couple times, asking, well, you guys lost track of the guy and you almost let him get away.
He was on the airplane.
How did this happen?
And the FBI and Napolitano kept dancing around as they had full confidence in the customs and border protection people.
But they had let him on the plane, and the plane was about to take off.
It had pushed back.
Okay, present for your review a coin.
On one side of the coin, the face of fear.
That would be Chris Matthews.
The type of fear that you will feel if you accidentally delete important files or if you lose them or if your computer ends up in the back of an SUV in Times Square with a bomb.
Your laptop gets damaged.
You will experience fear because you'll know that you've lost salient, important things that you can't replace.
Photos of your children, your personal files, all your important work files.
If you're a student actually studying term papers and so forth, it would be frightening.
The other side of the coin has my face on it.
Good cheer, confidence, happiness, because you have Carbonite online backup.
Stuff isn't lost.
No matter what happens to your computer, it's automatically backed up safely off-site.
Every time you're connected to the internet, you don't even know it's happening.
And you probably forget you have it until you need it, and then you go, whoo.
Hank Rush and Frank Carbonite.
Carbonite turns fear into joy.
Unlimited backup for your Mac or PC, just $55 a year, Carbonite.com, where you get, I think this is important, a genuine 15-day free trial.
I go to all these websites, and you're 30 days free, but you got to give them the credit card, and you got to pledge to sign up for a year.
You got to go to the problem of canceling if you don't want.
They don't do any of that.
You try it for a month.
