Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Another Grand Slam, ladies and gentlemen.
Another huge home run.
I delayed the open by 30 seconds to make sure everybody was paying attention.
Where is he?
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, another Grand Slam home run hit yesterday by me, El Rushbow, your guiding light.
Here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882 and the email address L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
Here's how bad things are for the left and the American media.
All they have to complain about.
The best, the best they can come up with to pretend that they are offended by clever comments made by me about a wildly successful fellow capitalist.
George Steinbrenner, who, up until now, has been despised by the American left.
The American left and the media did nothing but portray George Steinbrenner negatively.
Here was a guy that was evil.
He was a temperamental dictator.
He made illegal campaign contributions to Richard Nixon.
And uh he was uh he was engaged with hoodlums and so forth, had to be suspended from baseball by the Commissioner Faye Vincent.
The media despised George Steinbrenner.
I praise him as a fellow capitalist.
Uh by the way, folks, they're also insanely jealous that in this plummeting housing market, I sold my New York condo for a 125% profit.
I mean, they are so upset, angry, jealous.
This is the best they can do is to take an out-of-context comment by Media Matters for America and twist it into something that I didn't say.
And the Media Matters people, I'm really offended, they left out uh one of the most relevant things I said yesterday, dude, talking about what a great capitalist George Steinbrenner was.
He even knew when to die.
This year, when there is no estate attacks, his family has saved a half a billion dollars alone on the asset value of the New York Yankees.
George Steinbrenner was able to grow the New York Yankees from a 10 million dollar franchise to being worth at least 1.2 billion dollars.
And along the way, he made a lot of African American millionaires.
As a lot of capitalists do, everybody around Steinbrenner got wealthy.
And to show that Steinbrenner was uh had all kinds of steep cred while making these African American millionaires rich and wealthy, he fired a bunch of white guy managers.
I mean, this guy's got street cred like uh you you couldn't find anywhere else in sports.
In 2005, the New York Yankees became the first professional sports franchise to be conservatively estimated as being worth over one billion dollars.
All due to one man, George Steinbrenner.
And so, this is how bad it is for the left.
The best shot they can take is to complain and pretend that they're offended by brilliant, clever, funny comments made by me about a fellow successful capitalist.
A capitalist that they have portrayed negatively, that they hated, that they characterized as a dictator as evil and temperamental.
Why, there's a story, I forget where USA Today, New York Times about it how horrible it was to work for George Steinbrenner.
If you were in the front office, he'd fire you if you didn't get the lunch owner correct.
That's the George Steinbrenner.
I mean, it's the back page of the tabloids in New York.
Steinbrenner was their favorite, favorite whipping boy.
And then to uh pardon.
Who's whining about me?
Well, the Associated Press, the New York Daily News, the New York Post, Yahoo News.
Uh, it's everywhere, Snertley.
Uh, it's all over network television.
It's they're trying to I miss me.
You know, and it it was a great show yesterday.
This is their they're they're launching their salvos, but at the at the root of the They're also folks, I can't angry, jealous.
They ticked off like they can't believe because I sold my New York condo for a 125% profit when their houses are underwater.
It just drives them insane.
And this is going to drive them insane to point out they're the ones that had all the rotten mean things to say about Steinbrenner throughout his tenure as the owner of the New York Yankees.
These same left-wing political opportunists out there say nothing about the new Black Panther Party and Malik Zulu Shabazz talking about crackers and killing crackers, or King Samir Shabazz, who talked about killing cracker babies, and you want to know why?
You know, there's a big controversy out there, ladies and gentlemen.
Brad Sherman, a derelict Democrat congressman from California had a town hall meeting the other day, and a bunch of in his constituents are more informed than he was.
He's a Democrat, and they started asking about the new Black Panther Party and voter intimidation, and he did know anything about it.
He started putting down the uh uh oh, by the way, George Steinbrenner also, as I have done, has left New York.
George Steinbrenner will probably be buried in Florida.
Oh, yes, Tampa was his home.
Not New York.
Anyway.
So this Brad Sherman guy getting beat up by his constituents, and he reacts now.
You people are stupid, you're dumb.
I don't want to hear who do you think you're talking about?
I'm not member of Congress.
Here's the follow-up.
A California Congressman who drew shouts of disbelief at a town hall meeting when he said he was unaware of the voter intimidation case involving a new Black Panther Party explained the reason he hadn't heard about the story was because his news sources didn't cover it.
Exactly right.
The reason why these dunces at Network Television, AP, Yahoo News, everywhere else, think I made an original comment when calling George Steinbrenner a cracker, also don't know about King Samir Shabazz, New Black Panther voter intimidation case, 2008 Philadelphia, suggesting that white cracker babies be killed.
They're not up to speed on uh Malik Zulu Shabazz, the chairman Grand Puba, whatever, head potentate of the new Black Panther Party, referring to crackers constantly, and so unable to place my comments in context and unwilling to, even if they were aware of the context, they create this fire storm, which just illustrates what a great show it was yesterday.
Brad Sherman, in a written statement released late yesterday, accused Fox News of launching attacks on him for showing video of his town hall meeting.
He said he would soon send a letter to the attorney general, Eric Holder, regarding the incident and the importance of allegations of voter intimidation, but said the major sources of information which I rely upon did not mention the issue.
He didn't know about the voter intimidation case in Philadelphia.
He also offered an excuse for missing the news.
None of the media he reads covered it.
While it's possible that our review missed something, it can be said that less than one page per 50,000 from the above sources deals with the issue.
In contrast, Fox News covered the issue repeatedly.
Sherman listed the LA Times, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Economist Newsweek Congressional Quarterly, the National Journal said he found only one mention of the Black Panther case in all of those publications.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
So these left-wing political opportunists, propagandists in the state-controlled media.
They have nothing to say about the jobs in the Gulf being purposely destroyed.
They have nothing to say.
Well, actually, it's hard to avoid now.
74% of people in the New York Times pull stimulus didn't work and won't work.
Obama's approval numbers are plummeting, all based on the economy.
It's getting to the point now that the drive-by media cannot even ignore that story.
So jobs are being destroyed all over the country purposely.
We have a deficit we hit one trillion dollars was still three months to go in the fiscal year, one trillion dollar Deficit yesterday, a deficit largely created and voted for every penny since 2005 by Democrats from the House to the Senate to the White House.
We've got the regime suing the state of Arizona to inflame racial tension where none needs in order to pick up a few votes this November.
We have a president taking golfing trips, sinking into polls.
And you know what?
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, the Tea Party yesterday comes out, or the uh NAALCP Tea Party's racist.
And they were brought, they were telecasting live the uh session or the meeting where they were going over and constructing the resolution.
They found out somebody was in or shouldn't be in there to kick them out.
The resolution will not actually be written and presented until October.
They announced it yesterday, the NAALCP.
And guess what?
In addition to the Tea Party being racist, Obama has come out and said that Al Qaeda is racist.
I am not making this up.
It's from ABC News.
In an interview earlier today with the South African Broadcasting Corporation to air a few hours later, President Obama, this is yesterday, disparaged Al Qaeda and its for its willingness to kill Africans.
In a manner that White House aides said was an argument that terrorist groups are racist.
This is the Uganda bombings.
So finally, folks, it has now been a year and a half.
Finally, the President of the United States of America has had something critical to say about Al Qaeda.
And what is it?
They're a bunch of racist terrorists because they blew up a bomb in Uganda.
They're not racists for blowing up the World Trade Center.
But they are racists for here's what Obama said.
What you've seen in some of the statements that have been made by these terrorist organizations is they do not regard African life as valuable in and of itself.
They see it as a potential place where you can carry out ideological battles that kill innocents without regard to long-term consequences for their short-term tactical gains.
Additionally, U.S. intelligence has indicated Al Qaeda leadership specifically targets and recruits black Africans to become suicide bombers because they believe that poor economic and social conditions make them more susceptible to recruitment than uh than Arabs.
Don't Democrats do the same thing, minus the suicide bombing.
The Democrat Party targets and recruits black Africans and Americans to be the victims of their social policy.
They don't do it for suicide bombers, of course.
Democrats do this to get votes.
I think it's fascinating.
So finally, the president of the United States has said that Al Qaeda's uh worthy of criticism because they're racist.
They blew up 64 people or whatever it is in Uganda, in Africa.
Do you believe I mean there are no other way to analyze this?
And ladies and gentlemen from Des Moines, Iowa, a billboard created by an Iowa Tea Party group that compares Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin is drawing sharp criticism, even from fellow Tea Party activists who have condemned it as offensive and a waste of money.
The co-founder of the roughly 200-person group said the billboard was intended to send an anti-socialist message.
Bob Johnson admitted yesterday that the message may have gotten lost amid the images of fascist and communist leaders.
Now, what's fascinating?
Have you seen a picture of the billboard?
Yeah, I've seen it.
You got you got Hitler, it's called National Socialism, you've got Obama called Democrat Socialism, and then uh Lenin's over there, Soviet Marxism, whatever it is.
What's fascinating to me here is that people are all hacked off and outraged and offended that anybody would dare compare Obama to Hitler.
But apparently nobody has a problem with Obama being compared to Lenin.
Ha!
How are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
On Hump Day, it's Wednesday, the middle of the busy broadcast week.
Here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, our microphones are everywhere.
They're working it, folks.
They're working it very hard, trying to grow the U.S. economy.
Barack Obama.
People starting to ask, how did he ever get elected?
How did this happen?
Let me make the complex understandable.
Barack Hussein Obama got elected due to his ability to tell Americans to go to hell in such a way where a majority of them actually looked forward to the trip.
But reality has now changed a lot of minds.
The CBS poll is out.
It's not good news for the BAMster.
In fact, we got a bunch of polling data here.
This is from the uh the Pew National Journal poll and the headline, Obamacare still unpopular.
You remember how uh how Pelosi told us we'd love the health care bill once it was passed.
I don't think that's working after four months, almost four months, after the passage of major health care legislation, the law remains unpopular with the public.
Nearly half of Americans disapprove of the health care law.
While just 35% approve of the measure, an overwhelming proportion of opponents of health care legislation, 37%, favor repealing it as soon as possible.
Just seven percent, just seven percent of the people polled say they want to let the law stand and see how it works.
Just seven percent.
But Pelosi told us that after it was passed, we would all find out what's in it and love it.
Seventy-four percent in the CBS New York Times poll say that the stimulus had no effect or may have made the economy worse.
There is pessimism galore in this poll about the economy and low marks.
For the leader of the regime, Americans cite the economy as the nation's number one problem, and by a not the oil spill, by the way.
The economy, the nation's number one problem.
And by a wide margin, the lack of jobs tops the list of specific economic problems.
And the regime today has the audacity to say that the stimulus created or saved three million jobs.
That without the stimulus, it would be even worse than it is today, even though it is not possible in a scientific empirical way to calculate jobs saved.
And we all know there have not been any jobs created.
So the regime once again lying blatantly, brazenly to the American people who are not falling for it.
A wide major margin of Americans say the lack of jobs tops the list of specific economic concerns.
Americans' prognosis for the economy is also poor.
Very few think things are improving either nationally or in their local market.
And most think the effects of the recession will continue for two more years or even longer.
Fifty-two percent of Americans do not think Obama has spent enough time addressing the economy.
And many say that his policies have had no impact on them or on the economy generally.
The president's approval rating on handling the economy is 40%.
Down five points from last month.
The public is divided on Obama's overall job rating and on whether he shares their priorities for the country while he is viewed as decisive.
More than half think the president's not tough enough when dealing with the country's problems.
It's a disaster.
And Pelosi ticked off at Gibbs for saying the Republicans could win the House.
I don't believe it.
Hi, it's Rush Limboy and this, the EIB network.
As usual, my friends, half my brain's high behind my back just to make things fair.
We, you and I, are living through the pathetic death throes of socialism as a viable political philosophy.
It is failing and imploding everywhere around the world where it has and is being tried.
This series of wicked unconstitutional experiments from the New Deal to the big effin deal, which is what we call Obama here, is about to collapse under its own weight.
Why Obama voters are so unhappy.
They wanted checks in the mail.
They didn't want to want health insurance premiums to pay.
They thought checks were coming.
They thought free this was coming.
They thought free that was coming.
And then they thought happiness would follow.
They wanted their student loans forgiven, not taken over by the government that will put them in jail if they don't pay up.
They wanted free cars.
They got in Toyotas and they purposely hit the gas pedal, claiming they hit the brakes.
Trying to get money out of Toyota.
These are the Obama voters, the American left trying to make the quick buck without having to work thinking everything was going to be given to them.
They didn't want cash for clunkers.
They wanted free cars.
They wanted free houses, not a discount on the mortgage they were tricked into.
No, no, no, no.
They wanted houses.
Barack Obama was elected due to his ability to tell Americans to go to hell in such a way that a majority of them actually looked forward to the trip.
But now reality has changed things.
Folks, I seriously am my head still spinning here, with Obama's lashing out at Al-Qaeda for being racist.
Because they bombed Uganda.
By the way, if Al-Qaeda is now racist, does that mean terrorism is a hate crime?
And if it's a hate crime, we can go after them even twice as hard.
Because you know, if you commit a crime and you're thinking racist thoughts when you do it, why we can nail you to whatever we want to nail you to.
Including if you are now Al-Qaeda.
Jennifer Rubin of Contentions, which is a blog commentary, has this observation.
It's actually a restatement of what Obama said.
Obama faults, listen to this.
And this is right on accurate.
Obama faults Al-Qaeda's strategy in Africa for being blindly ideological and for being willing to sacrifice the entire African community to Al Qaeda's agenda without any regard for the harmful long-term consequences.
He is speaking of this group as though they are just another group of political opponents of his, not murderous terrorists.
And they're not thinking through the long-term consequences of bombing Africans in Africa.
Obama does not express outrage that Africans are dying so much as he expresses outrage at Obama is targeting Africa without considering the long-term consequences of their actions.
I mean, that's just and this this is this is the brightest, most intelligent president we've ever had.
This is something unlike we've ever experienced.
Or to say Al-Qaeda is behaving without regard for their long-term consequences.
I am sitting here in the distinguished and prestigious Attila the Hun chair at my institute, and I'm flabbergasted.
Because it's apparent here that President Obama just looks at this group as another group of political opponents.
And the quotes from White House AIDS.
You know, we never really hated Al-Qaeda before, but this really is beyond the pale.
I mean, we, you know, we're al Qaeda Africa now.
They're attacking everyone.
We this is this is beyond the pale.
Al Qaeda is keeping the black man down by not giving him higher positions and greater responsibilities within their terrorist organization.
Instead, Al Qaeda's not reaching out, Al Qaeda's not reaching out to black Africans except the suicide bombers, and that makes them discriminatory, and they're not concerned about the long-term harmful consequences.
Here's a quote, White House aid.
Al-Qaeda recruits have said that Al-Qaeda is racist against black members from West Africa because they're only used in lower level operations, i.e., suicide bombers.
In short, the official said, Al Qaeda is a racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life.
I am not making this up.
White House aides.
Al Qaeda recruits have said that Al-Qaeda is racist because blacks don't have a chance for advancement.
Al Qaeda is racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder.
Doesn't value human life.
We need affirmative action for Al-Qaeda.
I get you know it might work.
I've said long ago, let's export liberalism to all of our enemies and gum up their works like they've gummed up ours.
Affirmative action for Al-Qaeda.
Upset at Al Qaeda's agenda because they have no regard for the harmful long-term consequences of that agenda.
I wonder what the uh wonder wonder what uh what does Obama think of the Chicoms?
Wonder what the official White House position is on the Chicons.
Folks, this is not Saturday Night Live today.
Apparently, Al Qaeda needs a human resources department and a diversity officer.
The Obama White House is upset that black Africans are being murdered and are in a low-level position.
I'm not making it up.
I am not making it up.
Al Qaeda is racist.
That's the story.
It's all over.
It's in the Washington Post, it's everywhere.
Al Qaeda is racist because of what they did in Uganda.
The Tea Party is racist because, well, they're just racist because they are.
Folks, trying not to laugh here because this is...
Well, I've I've I've I've never heard anything so patently, I don't know the word for it.
Ridiculous?
Can I read this again to you?
White House AIDS.
This is a quote.
Unnamed White House AIDS.
Al Qaeda recruits have said that Al-Qaeda is racist against black members from West Africa because they're only used in lower level operations like as suicide bombers.
That's all they're good for.
They're easier to recruit as suicide bombers than Arabs are.
In short, the official said Al-Qaeda is a racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life.
Maybe now Eric Holder will seriously go after these guys.
Maybe net maybe this is what it took.
Maybe all it took was for Al Qaeda to blow up some West Africans.
And we learn the Obama administration, that's what finally ticks them off about Al-Qaeda, that they're racist.
And that blacks are good for only being killed in that organization.
No chance for advancement.
No positions of power and influence.
Well, position what positions of power are there in Al-Qaeda?
Well, the positions of power in Al-Qaeda determine which of you are going to have bombs strapped on you and walk onto a bus or in a mall and have it detonated.
The power in Al-Qaeda is to determine which members of Al-Qaeda kick the bucket.
Along with everybody else they're blowing up.
There are obviously positions of power in Al-Qaeda, and blacks are being denied them.
This from the Obama administration.
This might mean folks find the Eric Holder might get serious about going after Al-Qaeda now.
Can you imagine the trial of Khalid Sheikh Muhammad?
We have learned that your organization is racist and that you are denying black Western Africans chances for advancement in your organization.
What do you say to that?
And Khalid Sheikh Mohammed obviously would start laughing uncontrollably.
Al Qaeda has lots of positions about.
In fact, they have so many positions.
I know they've got positions of power because the regime tells us that they've killed a dozen of their top leaders every week in Iraq, Afghanistan, uh, wherever.
I mean, top Al-Qaeda leaders are being whacked every week, according to the regime's press releases.
So I think the NAACP needs a resolution here.
The NAA LCP, while they're condemning the Tea Party for being racist, they need to come out with a resolution condemning Al Qaeda for being racist.
Obviously, bin Laden and his boys are a bunch of crackers.
Stand by audio soundbite number 30.
You know, wait, wait until Obama, wait until the left learns that Al Qaeda is against gay marriage.
I mean, then it's going to really hit the fan.
It's bad enough that they're racist.
When they find out that Al Qaeda is opposed to gay marriage.
We may win this war after all.
And all it took, all it took was for Eric Holder and Obama to discover that Al Qaeda is racist.
If we get the NAA LCP on this, why might even be able to bring McCrystall back?
Here's Brad Sherman, by the way, the hapless Democrat from California who had never heard of the new Black Panther Party.
This is last Sunday in Resita, California, during a town hall meeting.
This is the nuts and bolts of the whole point.
I am extremely sure that we do not have a policy at the Department of Justice of never prosecuting a black defendant in his voice.
Sure, it may say that somewhere on the internet, but that doesn't mean it's true.
As to the Black Panther Party, I'm simply not aware of that case.
They're booing him there.
They're booing him.
Now this was last Sunday.
So he comes out yesterday and says, Well, I I never heard of this case because the media I look at, it was never reported.
Now, we know this because J. Christian Adams, the line one of the line attorneys prosecuting the new Black Panthers, among them King Samir Shabazz, he of killing whitecracker baby's fame.
Uh, said that it was a slam dunk case.
And we know it's a slam duck case because we've seen the video of the voter intimidation in Philadelphia in 2008.
Now, Jay Christian Adams is not just appeared on Fox News and other talk radio outlets.
He has testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which is a governmental panel.
And the Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman, the hapless Brad Chairman from California, did not even know that Jay Christian Adams had said what he had said, did not know that he resigned, did not know that he was testifying before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, pointing all this out.
It was Jay Christian Adams, the whistleblower, who said he was told this Department of Justice is not going to pursue black defendants.
In addition to that, he pointed out he was also told that Section 8 of the Motor Voter Law was not going to be pursued.
That was that requires voter registration roles to be purged of the dead, the duplicates, people who moved out of state.
He was told by a female Department of Justice lawyer, no, no, no, no.
We're for inclusion here, not exclusion.
We're not going to get rid of dead people and people who've moved from the voter.
So he said, What the hell am I doing here?
He quit.
Then private practice is now a uh a blogger.
If you go to Google News and search new Black Panthers, you get 222 results.
Go check Rush Limbaugh George Steinbrenner and see how many hundreds of thousands you get.
I'm serious.
Rush Limbaugh, Steinbrenner Cracker, whatever, whatever search term you want to use, see how many hits you get, how many different results.
Lindsey.
HR just did it.
151,000.
You go to Google News and search Limbaugh Steinbrenner Cracker.
151,000 different stories about it.
The new Black Panther Party, 222 stories.
Searching Google News.
In less than one second, a Lindsay Lohan search produces 16,000 100 results.
I had media calling me today, well, email you.
Would you like to clarify?
I said, What?
Clarify what would you like to clarify the way you're reporting this?
Did you actually hear me say any of this?
Okay, so now, now that Brad Sherman, the hapless Brad Sherman from California, is aware that the race-based policies of the Department of Justice are not something on the internet, but is based in sworn under oath testimony.
I assume that Brad Sherman, Democrat California, will think it's just as crazy as if it came off the internet, and Brad Sherman will speak out against Department of Justice policy now.
I think now that he knows it's true, just because his media didn't report it, but now he knows sworn testimony.
The new Black Panther case was trashed.
Because a DOJ does not want to pursue black defendants.
I'm sure he'll demand action on this now.
As an American, as a Democrat, as a member of Congress.
In fact, Brad Sherman has announced that he's going to write a stiff letter, whatever that is, to Eric Holder.
A LeBron James search in less than one second on Google produces 24,500 results.
The new Black Panthers, 222 results.
What was the number you got for me, Steinbrenner and Rush Limbaugh Steinbrenner Cracker?
151,000.
Ten times the hits of Lindsay Lohan.
Five times that of LeBron James.
Welcome.
Welcome to the New America.
Brad Sherman, we'll wait to read your stiff letter to Eric Holder.
Now that you know what your media is failing to tell you.
Back after this.
Hey, James Carville pulling out all the stops.
Last resort to the Democrats to hold the House in November.
The midterm strategy is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Carvel said to keep the house.
We have a three-pronged strategy to keep the house.
It's called the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost.
Which is a problem.
For the Democrats, Carvel has forgotten that most of them do not believe in the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
They are at their wits' end.
