Time Text
And we're back at the fastest three hours in media, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network at Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I, of course, America's real anchorman doing the job here of 15 major media and newsrooms serving humanity, executing assigned host duties flawlessly while truth detecting and being the physician of democracy.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Email address, LRushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
A former Justice Department official, actually a former Justice Department lawyer who quit his job to protest the administration's handling of the new Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, has accused Eric Holder, the Attorney General, of dropping the charges for racially motivated reasons.
This is a whistleblower.
Former Justice Department attorney is Jay Christian Adams.
He's now an attorney in Virginia.
He's a conservative blogger.
Says that he and the other Justice Department lawyers working on the case were ordered to dismiss it.
Two-part interview he granted exclusively to Megan Kelly at the Fox News Channel, Part 1 aired yesterday.
We have three sound bites.
First question, what happened at the Department of Justice to get you to the point where you literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in this case?
We were ordered to dismiss the case.
I mean, we were told drop the charges against the new Black Panther Party.
The department has said that the facts and the law don't support going forward on the case.
Now, obviously, that's false.
Anyone with eyes can see that the facts and the law would support this case.
There's video.
Take, for example, Jerry Jackson.
He's the tall Black Panther.
He's also a Democratic elected official from the city of Philadelphia.
There is sworn testimony in front of the Civil Rights Commission that Jackson tried to stop people from going into the polls.
Witnesses testified that he tried to block them from entering the polls, yet they dismissed the case against him.
She said, well, what was the reason?
That's what I'm trying to get at here.
You, the trial attorneys, the line lawyers, the career lawyers of DOJ, you said, we have a victory here.
We think the case has merit.
And you were told what?
Dismiss the case, that the facts and the law don't support this.
I can't explain it.
There is a pervasive hostility to bringing these sorts of civil rights cases.
I've worked on other ones at the Justice Department.
I've worked on cases in Mississippi.
I've represented both black victims of racial discrimination, Hispanic victims, and in this case, a white victim of racial discrimination.
There is a pervasive hostility within the civil rights division at the Justice Department toward these sorts of cases.
Do you believe that the DOJ has a policy now of not pursuing cases if the defendant is black and the victim is white?
Well, particularly in voting.
In voting, that will be the case over the next few years.
There's no doubt about it.
Whoa.
Now, this guy, the Department of Justice, I got a note from Glenn Reynolds today that the DOJ has responded to J. Christian Adams by saying that he's disgruntled after being unhappy with his position.
But Jay Christian Adams, he doesn't look disgruntled, by the way, when you look at him on television.
He was given a promotion on April 28th.
Maybe he was disgruntled if the promotion wasn't high enough, but where's the media on this?
The media is not going to be anywhere because Megan Kelly got the guy exclusively.
I'm not going to want to amplify this, but I mean, here's a whistleblower.
Whistleblowers, Mo, whoa, we love whistleblowers.
Not when they blow the whistle on the regime.
So, final question from the appearance yesterday.
You said, Is it Megan Kelly asking the question?
You said that after the dismissal of the new Black Panthers case, a mandate was issued that no more of these cases brought against black defendants would be brought.
Is that the case?
That's what I just said.
And look, this is an administration that campaigned on transparency.
They campaigned on restoring integrity to the Justice Department.
And they also claimed they're going to be post-racial.
On all three of those, they flunk the test on the Black Panther dismissal.
None of these things came true.
Wow.
Now, I'm sitting here.
I saw this yesterday.
I heard the sound bites yesterday.
I heard them again today.
I looked at the transcript today.
And there's so much of this kind of stuff going on.
And literally, I'm asking myself, why does the nation not care?
Because we know that if this guy had quit the Bush Department of Justice because the Attorney General there had said, no, we're not going to prosecute cases against white people accused of voter discrimination.
Do you know that you can well imagine that we'd be hearing nothing about that?
I mean, whoever the attorney general was would be hounded and fired.
The media person would be in line for a Pulitzer.
The whistleblower would be all over television, would be an American hero.
This kind of stuff is happening.
Look at the Blago trial.
Obama was right in the middle of selling his own Senate seat.
He's right in the middle of it.
There is testimony in a trial.
Obama was Rama Man.
They were in the middle of it.
We got Blagojevich saying that Obama's more tonied up than he, Blagojevich, is, meaning Rezcode.
Meaning, his guy's in deeper with Rezco than I ever could be.
This is trial testimony.
This is under oath.
And everybody's yawning about it.
Here we have a career lawyer, well spoken, but they're saying, I've seen the guy.
I've seen Jay Christian Adams.
He's very clean.
He's very articulate.
And he's sitting there and he's saying we were told to drop the case because we're not going to pursue voter intimidation cases against black defendants.
We have a black attorney general.
We have a black president.
And yawn is just the natural course of events each and every day.
We have the Supreme Court hearings for Elena Kagan.
This is another outrage.
We have a woman who yesterday or the day before, did you write this?
Well, Senator, let me explain.
Didn't you write?
I'm just asking, did you write the memo?
Senator, let me explain to you.
Look, I know.
I just want to know, did you write the memo?
Senator, the question here is, no, no, no, would you please, it's a yes or no?
Did you write the memo?
Well, it is in my handwriting.
Duh, nothing today.
This nominee says, I don't know about inalienable rights.
I don't know about that.
I don't care about that.
I only care about what's in the Constitution.
Natural law, no, no, no.
I don't think you would want me to judge cases on the basis of natural law.
No.
Arlen Specter, we're not learning anything here.
Coburn, you think it'd be okay for the government to tell people they had to eat three vegetables and two fruit servings every day?
Well, just because a law is silly doesn't mean it's unconstitutional.
What?
We got somebody being nominated who wants to join the notion that the government can tell us what to eat daily.
Now we've got this whistleblower.
And there's just, there's a yawn.
There's no public outcry.
And I know why.
Because the media is not making a big deal of it.
It's not on television.
It's on Fox.
The Department of Justice thing is.
The Kagan hearings are so boring that they're not even being covered on TV anymore.
We're watching the dissolution of the fabric that has kept the country together for years, and it's a big yawn.
We've got the economy tanking.
13,000 jobs created last month, 260 per state.
The largest segment of activity in the housing market is foreclosures, not sales, but foreclosures.
The president today makes a speech in which he says that being American is a matter of faith, which is the establishment of a religion which is unconstitutional.
What is the religion that being an American is a matter of faith of?
It has to be natural law.
Nobody's saying anything.
I mean, we are, don't misunderstand, but there's no shock or outrage.
You can't get a more open and shut case than what Jay Christian Adams has said here.
The Attorney General shut us down because we're not going to pursue black defendants on voting rights cases.
I'm just, I've been asking myself this for many days, many months.
We have stimulus that didn't work.
We've got Biden.
I put this.
Yeah, Biden, this is from September 24th of 2009.
Vice President Bite Me delivered a rousing review of the government's economic stimulus plan in a conversation with the nation's governors.
Quote, in my wildest dreams, I never thought it would work this well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's last September, almost a year ago.
In my wildest dreams, I never thought it would work this well.
If it fails, he said, I'm dead.
Vice President Bite Me said, if it fails, I'm dead.
It failed.
It is in the midst of continual failure.
In the new republic, a liberal journal of opinion, four reasons why the economy will roar back to life.
This is what the liberals are telling each other.
Here's number one: the upturn in private investment.
Declines in investment during recessions are much larger than any other component of the economy.
From the start of recession through June 2009, real private investment spending was down 31%.
But since then, it's up 16%.
Secondly, the rise in inventories.
Inventories are very responsive to the business downturns.
In 2008, 2009, inventories fell by nearly $150 billion.
In 2010, inventories are rising, but they're replacement inventory.
They're not representative of new consumer activity.
Consumer confidence is way down.
There is no consumer activity.
Third, business confidence.
The latest poll of business owners shows more companies planning to invest now than at any time since the onset of the recession.
What, 2% of them?
2% is better than zero.
And the reason they're, it's exactly right, Snerdley.
The reason people are reporting profits is to avoid paying the new tax on profits next year.
Everybody's accelerating economic activity as much as they can into this year at the lower tax rates.
As Art Laffer has written in a Wall Street Journal, buckle up next year, folks.
Buckle up.
There ain't going to be any investment.
Nobody's going to be reporting any income.
Nobody's going to want to report any income.
Not at Obama's new tax rates and the new state tax rates and in some cases the new city tax rates.
There is no business confidence.
But this is what the liberals are lying to themselves about.
Number four, by most accounts, consumer confidence is rising.
They published this.
This is one day after the conference board reports the lowest consumer confidence in 20 years at 52%.
And in good times, the conference board's number is around 109, 110.
Now it's 52.
By most accounts, consumer confidence is rising.
A survey of the affluent.
By the way, the affluent here, that's households with incomes greater than $90,000.
Shows a rising number planning on increasing their investments and consumption.
No.
No.
Yet a lot of people are going to convert IRAs to Roth IRAs.
You have a lot of people are going to sell stocks to take capital gains at this year's rate as opposed to Obama's next year.
These liberals are telling themselves all this economic activity is because it means we're on the verge of a roaring comeback.
Doesn't mean that at all.
Meanwhile, Senator Vice President Biden, I never thought the stimulus would work this well.
I never thought it would work this well.
I mean, if it fails, I'm dead, he said.
So we've got all of this destruction that's all around us.
All of this contempt being expressed at the highest levels of the regime for the rule of law, the traditions, institutions that have made this country great.
And it's met with a yawn.
Oh, well, I got to take a break.
We got more straight ahead.
Your phone calls as well, even if you're on cell phones.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Yeah, foreclosures.
Here it is.
Foreclosures make up a third of all home sales.
Nearly one out of every three U.S. home sales in the first quarter was a foreclosure property as steep price discounts boosted demand for distressed real estate.
And it's the summer of recovery.
Here's Herman in Houston.
Herman's a lawyer.
Great to have you, Herman, on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Great honor to talk with you.
Thank you, sir.
I wanted to return to the thing about Kagan and natural rights.
When she says that she doesn't care about natural rights, such as the rights mentioned in the Declaration, she's essentially saying she doesn't care about the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution, because the Ninth Amendment says the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny other rights retained by the people.
That's right.
So it's a sly thing that she's doing because on the one hand, she says, oh, no, no, I'm sticking to the Constitution.
It's not in the Constitution.
You know, I'm not interested in it.
So she gets to come off as this texturalist when, in fact, she's ignoring the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution, along with the Tenth Amendment, I'm sure as well.
So it's a kind of infuriating thing for me to see her sort of try to hold herself out as some strict constructionist when she's actually ignoring the Ninth Amendment.
The framers had natural rights specifically in mind when they wrote the Ninth Amendment.
They were concerned that...
Would you explain for people...
Sometimes I've run into people, and you're a lawyer.
Sometimes people get confused on natural law, natural rights.
Could you give an example of one, just so people know what you're talking about, that she doesn't acknowledge?
Well, the clearest one, and I think the Second Amendment is there to protect it, is the right to life.
That is my essential beginning natural right.
I have a right to keep myself alive and to resist anyone who would try to kill me.
Right.
And that's not a law that's been passed by somebody somewhere.
That's something you are born with.
That's part of your essence.
That is exactly right.
Your creation, if you want to say it that way.
Yes, yes.
And, you know, the natural rights tradition is an important tradition in American constitutional law.
And basically what she says is, I don't care about that.
You know, on the one hand, they're ignoring, you know, well-established rights that are protected by the Ninth Amendment.
On the other hand, they want to create all these other rights that have no natural rights tradition that are not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.
Right to health care, right to free lunch.
It's just a frustrating perversion, but that's what we have with these folks.
Well, that's, yeah, here's the danger.
If these people say, oh, they just need one more vote on this court, and we're done.
Where do we go to get our natural rights?
Well, they're going to be gone.
We're going to have a court that refuses to recognize them.
As we are seeing clearly from Ms. Kagan, we're hanging by a thread here on this whole notion of the rule of law, the role that it has played in defining and maintaining the country.
Thanks, Herman, very much.
Dan Rochester, Minnesota.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
I can't believe I've been finally got to talk to you after years and years and years.
It's your big showbiz break.
Hey, great.
The reason why I called was about the Black Panthers being not going to court.
I just thought when you went to court, justice is blind, so if the justice is blind, why are they so afraid to go to court?
I don't understand.
Oh, yeah.
You're speaking with the theory of blindness, judicial objectivity, and so forth.
What you're really saying is that these lawyers, the DOJ, knew these guys are guilty.
That's what Mr. Adams essentially told Megan Kelly.
Exactly.
So that's why they're shutting it down.
You go to trial, they're going to be convicted.
There's evidence.
And we're not going to have that.
We're not going to have that.
I thought that about OJ too when he got off.
Yeah.
Well, we're not going to have the first black president.
We're not going to have a black attorney general prosecuting the new Black Panthers.
It just wouldn't look good, especially around the world.
Whether it looks good or not, America is supposed to be America, proud and free.
No, it's what looks good.
Well, it's too bad.
Hopefully it changes in the years to come.
Well, I still, like I said yesterday, I still think that this stuff, at some point, these yawns, and really, I'm not trying to disrespect the Tea Party.
People are doing more than yawning.
There are citizens engaged.
I don't mean that.
I'm just talking about the media in a day-to-day basis where there ought to be genuine shock and anger and outrage.
There's nothing but a bunch of yawns.
Jay Christian Adams, the whistleblower that appeared with Megan Kelly at Fox News yesterday and today, had an editorial or an op-ed in the Washington Times last week.
And here's a little excerpt: Some of my co-workers argue that the law should not be used against black wrongdoers because of the long history of slavery and segregation.
Less charitable individuals called it payback time.
So it's O.J. Simpson all over again.
It's William Jefferson and his $90,000 in cash.
I mean, they eventually got him, but a boy, I tell you there, a lot of people didn't want to get him.
Hey, I remember reading stories.
Look at poor guy, Bill Jefferson, Dollar Bill.
Guy grew up in dirt sharecroppers, son.
I mean, the guy never had a pair of shoes till he was 10 years old.
We got to try to understand.
He was black.
He was oppressed.
Sharecropper.
Finally got 90 grand, doesn't want to let go of it.
We got to understand.
He never had money his whole life.
Now we got the new Black Panthers intimidating people to the voting place.
Hey, let them get away with it.
You know what?
Look at the history of slavery and discrimination, segregation.
Give them a break.
You got to understand why they're behaving this way.
It's payback time.
In fact, we ought to get used to being treated like this for a lot of years to make up for what we did to them.
That's what J. Christian Adams is essentially alleging is going on in the Justice Department today.
Well, that's Eric Holder.
Did say that we're cowards on race and not going to do anything.
We're afraid to have a racial discussion.
He's right.
I mean, in certain quarters, there are people scared to death to bring it up.
That's why Jay Christian Adams out there is pretty gutsy guy.
I want to take you back two weeks to the middle of June.
That's about the time the Heritage Foundation published a couple of reports for its membership.
The Senate Judiciary Committee had a subcommittee hearing on immigration.
A former immigration judge detailed some startling facts that received almost no state-run media coverage at the time.
I'll share one fact to illustrate the point.
40 to 50 percent of the illegal aliens, some of them here with visas and some of them here illegally, were due in court for violating a law of some kind.
They were allowed to remain free on the streets.
They never showed up for their court date.
And why would they?
There's nothing in our system right now to hold them accountable or detain or deport them.
This study was over a 12-year period before and after 9-11 through the end of 2008.
Now, this has been happening for some time.
This regime wants to fix the problem with amnesty.
And as we're coming up on Dependence Weekend, our president gives a speech today, which greases the skids for amnesty down the road.
He's going to threaten to sue one state that wants to protect its own citizens and police force if the federal government won't guard the borders.
The regime is going to sue Arizona.
Heritage Foundation has been especially hot on immigration since April, preparing and releasing the latest information on this topic for its members.
So, if you're like me, you're already a member.
You are already informed on the topic.
You can look at Obama's speech today with an already enlightened mind.
Make yourself a member of the Heritage Foundation if you haven't.
It's easy.
$25 a year is that's the minimum.
You can give more if you want.
It's askheritage.org.
That's where you join.
And that's where you get access to the finest conservative minds actively thinking in one place in Washington today.
The only mind they're missing is mine, and you get that here on the EIB network.
Dave Abilene, Texas.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Program.
Great to have you here.
Well, thank you much, sir.
Congratulations on your wedding.
I wish you guys luck and see.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Real quick, you were making some comments earlier in the program about the Al Gore-Masse deal using some of their tactics.
I think we should just take the Masseus' testimony and deem Al Gore guilty.
I think that's what we should do.
And that's probably a bad joke.
Well, you know what's going on?
The media is wondering why the cops have reopened the case after four years.
And the media is saying, is this, are they responding to pressure from the National Inquirer?
You know, the Inquirer is peeved that they didn't get a Pulitzer for the John Edwards story.
And they're out there and they're digging stuff up that Democrat media will not touch.
And this is one of those things.
Al Gore's spokeswoman said essentially that the more they delve into this, the better it is for the vice president, because the more evidence is going to turn up that he didn't do anything.
The allegations are false.
I just, what happens if we come to a consensus that he did it?
There's a consensus that there's global warming.
What if there's a consensus that Gore did it?
That Gore is guilty.
What do we do then?
Mike in St. Louis, you are on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Brush, you've mentioned many times that if the illegal aliens were Republican voters, they'd be out of the country by now.
Yep.
You know, and as you always say, words have meaning.
So that's led me to start thinking of these illegal aliens as illegal Democrats.
Works for me.
Because, you know, your memory is right.
Here's the thing.
If the polls said that 70% of the illegals are going to vote Republican, the Democrats would have already built a high-speed railroad train all the way down to Peru to get them out of here.
They'd have been long gone years ago.
There's no question.
So you want to call them illegal Democrats just to make the point.
Just to reinforce in some people's mind who think that it's not kind the way we're treating them.
No, they're only here for a better life.
Yes.
Okay.
I like that.
Undocumented Democrats because that's really what they are.
They're undocumented Democrats.
They're future Democrat voters.
That's why the move is being made.
Largest voter registration drive in history.
You have given me an idea.
undocumented democrats that's what they right on right on right on Way to go.
Mike in St. Louis.
Excellent idea.
By the way, folks, I'm doing a rare personal appearance this afternoon for it's the troop-a-thon, the third annual troop-a-thon that Melanie Morgan and her buds host.
And I'm going to be on from the ⁇ we're doing this via Skype.
You're going to be on their website from here via the Ditto Cam at 4 o'clock around 10 o'clock this afternoon.
This is Move America Forward, and they are the nation's largest pro-troop grassroots organization.
This is the third Troopathon.
And the benefit, of course, is troops in Afghanistan in Afghanistan and Iraq.
And they ship care packages that are put together with donations from people from all over the country.
So you've got, let's see, it's at the Richard Nixon Library in Orange County.
Andrew Breitbart, co-host, Melanie Morgan, co-host, Mark Williams, co-host.
Lots of guests, Gary Sinise, Hannity, Levin, Laura Ingram, Dennis Miller, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, Mike Shyszewski will be there.
It all starts at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
I think I'm up first.
They start at 3 or 4.
Start at 4, so I am up first.
But I don't have the website here.
I know we've got a link to it, rushlimbaugh.com.
Maybe it's troupathon.org.
At least for more details of what they're doing.
But if you want to find out what the website is for the actual appearance, I'm sure it's at rushlimbaugh.com because Coco sent me a note today saying, do you want to put it up there?
And I said, yeah, by all means, put it up there.
Okay, folks, a brief time out.
We'll take it.
Come back and continue after this.
www.trupathon.org is the website.
And it's from 4 to midnight Eastern.
And I just was informed that they have secured Sarah Palin to appear at 4.45 Eastern.
I kick off at 4 o'clock.
And we're going to do it via Skype.
We tried Skype last year.
And yeah, right, right.
Well, I heard all that last year.
I was just told we tested with them, and it's all set up.
There was something else that happened last year, too.
Obama did something that broomed the whole thing.
And I don't know what it was.
I forget some breaking news event.
But anyway, I just heard they got Sarah Palin to appear at 4.45.
I kick off at 4 o'clock.
www.trupathon.org.
And it's to raise money to send care packages to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ladies and gentlemen from Miami, federal program designed to help impoverished families heat and cool their homes.
Wasted more than $100 million paying the electric bills of people who were dead or in prison or living in million-dollar mansions, according to a government investigation.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spent $5 billion through the low-income home energy assistance program in 2009, doling out money to states with little oversight of the program.
It sounds like the stimulus bill.
So I'm sure we got the same sob story.
These kids are going to starve.
The schools aren't open.
In the summertime, kids are going to starve.
Oh, it's going to be really cold, Mabel.
And these people are going to freeze to death out there unless we do something about it.
And the people that froze were already frozen.
They were in the ground.
They had passed away.
CNNMoney.com, the new head, the new head of the Gulf Coast Disaster Claims Fund, this is this Feinberg guy, says his first two priorities will be to cut bigger checks and send them out faster to the oil spill's economic victims.
In his first appearance before Congress, since taking the job, Feinberg yesterday criticized BP's process for compensating those who've lost their livelihoods in the spill's wake.
The oil company has paid out almost $130 million so far.
More than 80,000 claims have been submitted.
Now, there is a competing story or companion story here at The Atlantic.
Feinberg says that no money Will be given or awarded to people who have lost their jobs or lost business because of Obama's ban.
Obama says that there is money.
Obama said he got $130 million from BP to pay oil workers laid off because of his moratorium.
Feinberg says, well, I don't know where he's getting the money, but it's not for me.
Feinberg also said.
Feinberg also said there's not enough money in the world to pay everybody who'd like to have money.
Somebody needs to tell that to Obama.
The pays are, and the head honcho in charge of paying out claims of BP said there's not enough money in the world to pay everybody who would like to have money.
I wonder if that's the first time anybody ever realized that.
There isn't enough money in the world to pay everybody who'd like to have it.
He's not just talking about the spill.
He's talking about worldwide.
This is Keith in North Texas.
You're up next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Rush, thanks for the opportunity.
You bet.
You know, of all the shenanigans that the liberals and progressives pull and force on us and assault us with, I think this biggest threat is to our liberties and our freedoms and our way of life.
The rule of law, via the rule of law, you're exactly right.
It's this jacking around with the polling places and the voting and what Acorn does and this Black Panther deal and all.
And, you know, I've just about decided that conservatives are just too nice whenever they try to approach this.
And I think they need to employ some of these same tactics that these guys use.
And since the Department of Justice seems to have given the green light, wonder what would happen if some of our local Tea Party patriots hung around some of these polling places just to offer assistance and give a little bit of support to the folks coming in to cast their votes.
I wonder how long it would take to show up.
What you mean, don't you, is that Tea Party Patriots showed up and sort of strong-armed Democrats and not let them in to vote.
Is that really what you mean of the guys who are being paying?
Oh, no.
I would think that at all.
I would think that if we were there to assist them, maybe like I feel like there's probably some union members that probably would do the same thing as to assist the poor, uninformed voter before he went in to cast his ballot for their candidate.
Right, right.
You think the DOJ would move in on the Tea Party people?
Well, no, they've given the green light to this.
Why would they move in on the Tea Party?
Well, because the Tea Party people have not been enslaved in the past, and they've not been segregated or discriminated against.
It sure seems like that is fixing to change.
Yeah, well.
Yeah, but that's because it's payback time.
That's what J. Christian Adams said, that somebody in the Justice Department told him payback time.
That's exactly right.
So if the Tea Party Patriots show up to offer assistance and somebody has videotape of it, just like we've got with the Black Panthers, I mean, there's videotape of this.
It's been all over TV.
The evidence is irrefutable, irrefutable for those of you in real life.
Well, you need to know that.
You can't argue with it if you live in Rio.
And yet they threw the case out.
Exactly.
Well, Keith, I'm glad you called it.
Where in North Texas actually are you?
Do you really want to know?
The 13th congressional district of North Texas.
Yeah, but, okay, what town?
A lot of it.
That is 42 counties and 103 communities in North Texas.
Yeah, but which one are you in?
