Time Text
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh Talent.
So much talent on loan from God.
Happy to have you along, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across.
The fruited plane 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, Democrats say this again, or finding out.
It's a lot easier to destroy the economy than it is to fix it.
And make no mistake, they are the ones who broke the economy.
2007.
George W. Bush's final budget deficit, 161 billion dollars.
Barack Obama.
National debt has risen 2.4 trillion dollars in the 500 days since Obama was immaculated.
That's an average of nearly five billion dollars per day.
That's what the Democrats have done since January of 2007.
And they are finding out it's easy to break things.
And as General Powell once said, you break it, you own it.
They own this.
They made this recession, but they don't know how to manage it.
They don't know how to fix it.
It's a lot easier to start a recession than it is to end one.
And now they're getting nervous.
So why the Democrats are so panicked.
Ladies and gentlemen, they are so crazed.
They have the audacity.
The regime today says that they have saved or created three million jobs.
Think about how deranged or delusional that is.
We know for a fact that just last month alone 652,000 people gave up looking for work.
And they want to try to tell us they've created or saved three million jobs.
So liberalism, leftists, they know how to destroy.
They know how to tear down, but they have no clue how to build back.
They can't even manage their own disasters.
They made their debt, let them lie in it.
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, so many things about Club Gitmo.
I told you that they would not close it.
We started a licensed merchandise business in Club Gitmo to point out just how relaxing a trip to Club Gitno could be.
If you're overworked and tired of Jihad, you can go there to recuperate.
Here's Catherine Heritage Heridge yesterday morning on Fox and Friends.
She's their Homeland Security Justice Department correspondent.
She went down to Club Gitmo.
This was her report.
The vast majority of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay now live in these sort of group settings or communal settings.
They now have one of these wee consoles, and one of the biggest changes is TV.
They've got at least 12 channels, and they have about 11 or 12 radio stations.
Now, when we went on a tour through the camps, one of the things that we saw is uh the PlayStation, like you mentioned, a Nintendo game, and then also the library.
And uh some of the titles that are extremely popular right now include Agatha Christie, Harry Potter, and Twilight.
But perhaps one of the most striking differences is this new course called the Life Skills Course that's supposed to prepare the detainees for their lives post-gitmo.
That's Catherine Heridge of Fox reporting what's going on at Club Gitmo.
Club Gidmo sounds a lot nicer than my New York City condo.
Which, by the way, I unloaded for a cool 125% profit, which is also why the left is just in a jealous rage and tizzy today.
And here's a Club Gitmo MP describing this life skills seminar that she was just describing.
This is hilarious.
Catherine Harridge report about the changes at Club Gitmo.
Here's an unidentified MP Talking about these changes.
We've changed our classes.
Probably the biggest recent changes.
We took our core classes, which is Arabic English, posturate English, and art, and added a life skills, which is a seminar on 41-week program that is based to give them skills they'll need when they leave here.
So it stops off with basic building blocks of personal finance, health and well-being.
You believe this, this is what we're doing for terrorist racists.
The Obama administration, Obama himself, and the NAACP has come out and said that Al Qaeda is racist because they blew up some people in Uganda, and they're not concerned with the long-term consequences of their ideology.
And there's no you know the Obama administration, White House officials actually honestly said that there is not a road to career advancement for black people in Al Qaeda.
That too often they end up being the suicide bombers.
Not making this up.
And so now you just heard an unidentified MP say at Club Gitmore, yeah, very proudly.
We changed our classes.
Probably the biggest recent change we we took, our core classes, Arabic English, Pashtoan English, and art.
We added a life skills, a seminar, 31-week program that is based to give the terrorists skills that they will need when they leave here.
It starts off with basic building blocks of personal finance, health, and well-being.
A 31-week seminar at Club Gitmo for terrorists now identified as racists by the Obama regime.
How ironic is it to give suicide bombers a course called Life Skills?
What is going on here?
First they're racists, and now we're giving a bunch of suicide bombers a course called life skill.
Do we maybe teach them how to land an airplane?
I mean, they've they've obviously know how to take one off, they know how to fly one.
Are we teaching them how to land a hijacked airplane?
What do you mean is just outreach?
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
I'm sorry.
I forgot.
This is what NASA's supposed to be doing.
So we're we're reaching out to the to the Islamic jihad community, showing them we're not bad people, and we've trained them for life after uh jihad, uh, provided they stay alive after jihad, and to manage the checkbook.
Uh little capitalism, we're teaching them capital how to manage family finances, personal finance, health, and well-being to a bunch of suicide.
This is the this is the Obama administration.
To show you how out of sorts they are, President Obama summoned former President Clinton and business leaders to the White House today to talk about how to improve a nation's employment situation.
The same day, the administration released a report alleging that their porcupist plan saved roughly three million jobs.
The meeting with Bill Clinton was announced mid-morning today was yet another sign that Obama is worried by the increasing perception that his policies are anti-business and are having a negative impact on the economy.
And this is from the Financial Times by Edward Lewis in Washington.
Robert Gibbs, Barack Obama's chief spokesman, got into hot water this week for daring to speak the truth that the Democrats could lose control of the House in November.
But it could be even worse than that.
Contrary to pretty much every projection until now, Democrat control, the Senate is also starting to come into question while Obama's approval ratings have continued to fall and now hover at dangerously close to 40%, according to an ABC Washington Post poll published Tuesday.
The fate of his former colleagues in the Senate looks even worse.
Obama faces growing credibility crisis.
And what the story in the Financial Times goes on to say is that fewer and fewer people are trusting Obama.
And one of the reasons is that they know Obama doesn't trust them.
I have been a voice of the people who make this country work for 21 years.
I have voiced what many of us believe and what many of us have been thinking.
And all too often what some of us were afraid to say, I've been saying out loud.
I have always said the American people will get it right.
I've said, I will tell you when to panic.
And it's not time.
When I said, I hope he fails.
No one else was really thinking that way, but as Patten said, if everyone's thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
And I was ahead of the curve.
Now I think there were a lot of people who instinctively inside in their guts.
Oh, no, we've got a socialist.
We don't want this to work.
I said it.
I hope he fails.
I was thinking.
I was not caught up emotionally in the moment.
I was not afraid of a backlash because I knew I was right.
I said it out loud, knowing it would be the verbal shot heard round the world.
I knew full well.
That's why I repeated it over and over.
It is why I summoned the Fox News cameras to this studio to say it on television.
Well, polls now indicate the American people are beginning to understand Barack Obama.
We've always known, I've always known that people would understand if they had the information.
There's an old saying, even a dog, even a dog knows the difference between being kicked and being tripped over.
You trip over your dog, it knows you didn't mean to kick it.
You kick your dog, it knows.
Even a dog knows that.
The people are beginning to understand they are being kicked.
Not tripped over.
The people are beginning to understand this is on purpose.
The American people will get it right.
Ronald Reagan, Ronaldus Magnus.
Trust the people.
That's the crucial lesson of history, quote unquote Ronald Reagan.
I always have.
We'll be back after this.
And continuing on a theme that the Democrats are in a world of hurt, that they're confused, that they are due, that they're clueless.
They know how to tear down, they know how to destroy, but they can't manage what they have destroyed, and they can't build.
They can't rebuild, they can't grow.
They are clueless.
They know not what they're doing.
They can't even manage the destruction that they have wrought.
The Washington Post, Dana Milbank are Democrats painting themselves as the lesser of the evils.
It would not be accurate to say that Democrats are worried about losing control of the House in November.
It would be accurate to say that Democrats are in a screaming panic about losing control of the House in November.
Democrats are in a screaming panic.
Stanny Hoyer, it's a difficult argument to make, saying it could have been worse, but that's all they've got.
That's all they it could it would have been worse if we hadn't done the stimulus.
It would have been worse.
That's all they got.
That and bashing Bush.
It could have been worse.
They have to lie.
They created three million jobs or saved them.
Or what have you.
They're in a screaming panic.
And this is the CBS poll again.
Americans say a bad economy will linger.
Job approval Obama 44%.
I don't think Obama gives two hoots about personal popularity.
He does within his inner circle.
But I'm t when I say liberals, I'm talking about these acne zit-faced little kids that populate their websites.
They're the ones that want to be loved.
They're the ones that want to be popular.
They're the ones who want their ideas to bring about utopian panacea.
These are the people who want to have the wonders of life without having to work for them.
And they're not happy.
And people don't like them.
And people don't like their leader.
Their leader will throw them overboard and Democrats in the House and Democrats in the Senate to stay the leader.
That's the way regimes operate.
To the phones we go.
Who's up next on the EIB network?
We're going to start in uh Bay St. Louis, Michigan.
This is uh Eileen.
It's great to have you here.
Hi.
Hi.
Rush.
I just wanted to call and give you the uh definition of a cracker, since I'm a descendant of a true cracker of Palm Beach County.
Oh, cool.
And uh my grandfather was born in Palm Beach County in 1898.
You're talking about Palm Beach County, Florida.
Yes.
Yes.
And uh I was also born in Palm Beach County in 1940.
But the true definition of the cracker, they were cattlemen.
Yep.
And they spent their days rounding up scrub cattle, and then they would drive them to uh Fort Myers, and they would use the whip on their drive and crack the whip over the cattle, and they would sell them and load them on votes and sell them to Cuba.
So the crackers, the crackers sold cattle to Cuba.
Yes.
Yeah.
And that's where they got their name.
They called them crackers.
Thank you very much, Eileen.
That is the history of the crackers.
They were pioneers.
You could you can find the origin you can find the uh original usage of the word cracker in Shakespeare.
Yeah, you can, and you can you can you can find a definition of cracker that means supreme ego.
I mean, there's many kinds of crackers.
And by the way, some of you uh have written to correct me, uh thinking that I incorrectly identified the British biscuits as crackers, that those are cookies.
I know that.
I was just looking for any excuse to use the word cracker today.
I know that British biscuits are cookies, and I know that British crisps are potato chips, but cracker is the word of the day.
Now I have I have a question that I want to ask all of you.
We are told in our culture that it's okay for members of groups to use derogatory or inflammatory or offensive terms about themselves, but that nobody else can.
For example, it's okay for rappers uh and others uh in the black community to call each other the N-word, but nobody else can.
If you do that, they'll I'm us you.
But we are crackers.
Are we not?
They say we are crackers.
Well, certainly you're not, but I mean, according according to the new Black Panther Party, Malik Zulu Shabbaz, and Minister King Samir Shabazz, we're crackers.
Therefore, we can use the term, right?
I can call Brian a cracker.
I can call Steinbrenner a cracker.
I can call Dawn a cracker, because I am one, right?
Isn't this the way it works?
But they can't call us crackers.
If they call us crackers, it's offensive.
But some somehow something's gotten out of work here, because I called Steinbrenner a cracker, and I'm the one committing the offensive act.
From other crackers.
Steinberg and I are both crackers according to King Zulu Shabaz or whoever it is.
Uh so we can use the term.
They can't, but they use it and they get away with it.
I'm just saying.
Here's uh what is this true in in Atlantic City?
Great to have you on the program.
Hey Russ, how are you doing?
This is true.
I'm from Alan City.
Thank you very much, sir.
Oh man, maybe good as you're a big fan since uh the Justice Thomas hearings.
And um I've I've been a Reagan conservative since I was 13 years old when he got elected.
Way to go, my brother, way to go.
And it's and it's and it's a hard road to walk because I'm walking it alone in my community.
I know.
But I wanted to get to your point about the black panthers and the NAACP.
I asked my friends, because I'm always in battles with them about conservatism and live liberalism.
And I asked them, well, if the if these guys were skinheads, do you think the DOJ and the NWACP would have gone nuts?
And I said, well, yeah.
I said, well, what is the difference?
And they said, well, the difference is, you know, these are white guys who who are descendants of the oppressors.
And I said, if you're demanding fairness and equality, then you're supposed to give it also.
You're supposed to demand fairness and equality.
You need that, you need you need to be getting that.
You don't want special treatment.
So if you want special treatment, then you're not you're not being equal.
What do they say to this?
I mean, you're absolutely right.
What do they say to this true?
Well, they say um they they hark back into the whole Jim Crow segregation, yada yada ya thing.
Right.
You know, but the argument, how can you not be if you're that's how they've been raised.
That's the American is being mistreated, then we're all being mistreated.
That's how they've been raised and educated, that they're entitled to a lifetime of redress because of the original sin of slavery.
I remember asking, way, way back, this is in the 70s when affirmative action first hit.
It was called quotas.
And this was being done to make amends for past transgressions.
And I would ask civil rights leaders back then.
I was in radio.
That was, well, when is this end?
Who's gonna say, okay, there has been enough redress here, and we have made up for past transgressions, and now everything's ego.
When are you guys gonna say that uh reverse discrimination has made things equal?
They say, oh, never.
Never.
This is not gonna end.
And this is how the you're you're the guys that give you a tough time uh when you talk to them about this.
That's what they've been taught to believe.
That's how they've been raised.
To the audio sound bites, uh, we return Malik Zulu Shabaz, born Paris Louis in Los Angeles sometime ago.
This is March 22nd of 2002.
During a new Black Panther Party meeting, Chairman Malik Zulub Shabaz.
Now you will hear occasional shouts here from the audience, but this is uh the Malik Zulu Shabazz defending Saddam Hussein.
Yes, he made a strategic mistake in the invasion of Kuwait, strategically, even though Hawaii is a part of Iraq.
But I don't see him bottom today.
I don't see him coming out kissing America's rain.
I don't see him kissing Bush's ring today, and that's a rarity in the Muslim world, in the Arab world.
They're targeting him with all kind of weapons of mass destruction.
I don't see him bottom.
We want to expose the big lie tonight.
Weapons of mass destruction is the biggest lie out on earth.
And he continued.
Two cans of rope spray and some chemical battle clearance.
Oh, yeah, Iraq.
But he's alleged to have weapons of mass destruction.
May I remind you of Rosh?
80,000 killed instantly.
I want to ask you who has the weapons of mass destruction.
They got a crime on Nagasaki.
81,000 killed instantly.
160,000 total.
I want to ask you who possesses the weapons of mass destruction.
Huh?
Who is the real threat to peace and stability on the earth?
You are listening to Malik Zulu Shabazz, the chairman of New Black Panther Party, March 22nd, 2002.
Sounding just like your average day Democrat.
Spewing Democrat Party talking points.
Here he praises bin Laden.
Let's talk about this run.
Shape Osama bin Laz.
Mr. Bin Laden.
Gotta give him his respect.
Got to.
He's not bowing down.
Mr. Bin Laden stand up.
There's a man born over a rape.
And he's bringing reform.
Mr. Bin Lot.
Well, you're not supposed to say these things about him.
I thought I had free speech.
There's a Muslim that is standing up.
When Mr. Ben Limey speaks, he says, He speaks for the Quran.
Let's give him a hand, man.
And so the uh the unfortunately misguided new Black Panther Party uh gave a hand to Osama bin Laden.
Back to the phones, Toledo, Ohio.
This is Blaine.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Uh hi, Rush.
The last time we spoke, I was in your studio audience in New York City years ago.
It's uh pleasure to talk to you.
Many, many, many moons ago that would be.
Yeah, I loved it.
But uh last night I dropped my fork while eating dinner because uh Steve Hayes on uh on Brett Bear's show uh was commenting on how bad things are for the Democrats, and I I think he's right, but it's one of his data points was uh the primary we had in May right here in Toledo, Ohio, and how there were so many more people uh that were switching from Democratic to Republican registration.
Now uh and he said there are three thousand seven hundred of them, but actually uh two of those three thousand seven hundred are talking, you know, are here in my car, and uh we vote voted for Hillary in Operation Chaos and Corporation coming down to today.
You mean switch from Republican to Democrat.
Uh we were well from Republic no from Democrat to Republican in this primary.
You see, in order to vote for Hillary in Operation Chaos, we had to register as Democrats.
Oh, right.
Right, right, right, right.
Right.
And there were a great number of us that I know that did that, and well, at least I could guess 3,700 because that's the number that Steve quoted.
And I I like Steve Hayes and stuff, but I don't think he I don't think he realized that operating care operation chaos had that effect.
Um, of course, this May we voted Republican again.
But uh I I just thought, geez, that takes me back.
How the heck was it that so many people voted switched from Democrat to Steve Hayes?
It it may have escaped Steve Hayes.
I mean, I and I I like Steve Hayes too.
Don't misunderstand.
But don't doubt me.
Those there are plenty of people in the state control media who know full well about Operation Chaos, and they were tracking it.
They know full well what happened, and they weren't happy about it.
We even had in Indiana, we had Democrat Party officials talking about Operation Chaos.
They were on the lookout for it.
I mean, they were looking for Operation Chaos operatives.
Uh people switching their voter registration temporarily from Republican to Democrat to vote for Hillary.
And this was to keep the primaries going, because our primary had been decided.
McCain was our nominee, and this audience normally wouldn't care about the Democrat primaries.
We got them involved.
Uh, and kept them interested.
And we thought, you know, Obama needed to be, and I said this at the time.
Obama needed to be bloodied up politically.
Nobody's laying a hand on the guy.
Nobody was and Hillary was the woman to do it.
The Clintons were the one to do it.
We're trying to get a little energy here, a little support.
Uh, and hence it was Operation Chaos.
It worked in Texas.
Uh, it worked in Ohio, it worked in in Pennsylvania.
It worked in Indiana.
Of course, there were those who said, no, it didn't work.
There's no way to quantify it, but they still uh ladies and gentlemen all talking about it.
Operation chaos.
Hey, uh, folks, the NAA.
NAA LCP has passed another resolution today.
They are calling on California to make Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch into a state park.
I'm not no sturdily.
I am not making it up.
This is not satire from the Sacramento B. NAA L C P moves to make Neverland a state park.
A resolution is in the works to order state parks officials to study converting the roughly 2600 acre property into a state park.
The state NAA L C P backing the idea, and a lawmaker has signaled that he is on board to carry the legislation.
State NAA LCP President Alice Huffman, who serves on the California State Parks Commission said, I um I think Michael's history is world history.
I I think it would become the number one attraction for state parks if we could pull this off.
You know, I I don't even want to think about the the possible rides at this park.
Well, the NAA L C P busy today.
David's out Boston, Virginia, greetings and welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
Great day, man.
You are the man.
I can't believe I'm on the phone with you.
And may I say, mega baloney burger dittos from economically strapped south side of Virginia.
Thank you very much, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Thank you.
I wanted to make a point about the, I think the bill is still in the Senate, concerning the extension of the unemployment benefit.
No, I think it's been defeated.
Oh, great.
Well, that's why I listen to you.
If it hasn't been, it looks like it's going to be defeated.
It looks like that it's not going to be extended.
I hope so.
My point, another point was, I've been out of work rush for two weeks since 1981.
I found a vocation I liked, and I learned to love it.
I did the best I could with it.
And other than self-imposed vacations between jobs, that's it.
I really don't have a lot of sympathy for people who think that four or six or eight years of college is the answer to them, having a good and prosperous life.
You said you have been out of work for two weeks since 1981.
That's a long two weeks.
Well, I'm good at what I do, Rush.
I really enjoy what I do.
I'm a machinist.
Well, I've got my tool and die maker card, but I work metal and plastic and whatnot.
I fix things.
I make things.
And there's a need for that even here in South Side of Virginia.
You know, I misspoke.
By the way, I've got to correct you.
on this but the Senate is going to vote on unemployment extensions on July 19th but I it's not looking good I mean dingy Harry's running around uh already acting like it's gonna it's not gonna pass.
Well, Rush, you were correct in saying that if you subsidize unemployment, that's exactly what you're going to get.
Exactly right.
Everything you subsidize, you get more of.
Bless your heart.
Everything you tax, you get less of.
Thank you, Rush.
All right.
Thank you, David.
I appreciate it.
Only been out of work for two weeks since 1981.
Found a vocation.
Speaking of that, a story today in the Boston Globe training needed for mid-level jobs, study says.
Now, remember, we have an education system here.
You start in kindergarten.
Some people nursery school.
You go to grade school, middle school, and half school.
And some people go to college.
Leading Massachusetts industries will need nearly 400,000 workers over the next six years to fill new and existing jobs for workers with mid-level skills.
From technicians to licensed practical nurses to manufacturing operators requiring the state to place greater emphasis on vocational training and education after Haskruel, according to a study.
These middle-skill, quote-unquote, jobs, middle-skill jobs will account for nearly four out of every ten job openings through 2016, with many paying above the $60,000 a year considered sufficient to support a family in Massachusetts.
These positions, which require post-secondary education education, education, education, education, and training but not a four-year college degree are critical to the state's economic growth according to the study without middle skill workers companies cannot bring their innovations to market as products and services yeah we need engineers and we need research scientists said Angelo Sabotello the corporate director of organizational development and training at NIPRO Inc,
a Clinton plastics maker but as we move into the production environment middle skill jobs are the core of our business.
So what are these jobs?
Have you ever heard this term before?
Well, here it is.
Middle-skill jobs are found across industries and include occupations like computer support specialists, engineering technicians, radiation therapists, surgical technologies, paralegals and claims adjusters, and carpenters, mechanics, and heavy truck drivers.
The need for such workers is expected to increase as the economy improves.
baby boomers retire they're not going to retire over the next decade, according to the study, which was based on data from the U.S. Labor Department.
Now, these jobs don't sound like they're anything new to me.
We've all just unskilled workers, skilled work, yeah, skilled workers.
Now it's uh uh skilled jobs, mid-level middle skill, middle skilled jobs.
But but but see, even even after high school, you're not qualified.
You still gotta go to school.
And yet, I don't know, I I hear all this education this, education that, we're not spending enough here, we're not spending enough there.
We have remedial this, remedial that people go to get a high school diploma, they can't read, have to go to some remedial school to figure out how to get a job.
What is going on?
Now, what recovery are they talking about?
As the economy recovers, we're gonna need more who sees a recovery out there.
Bob, Stanford, Connecticut, your next Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Okay, Rush, thank you very much.
Actually, it's Bud, D U D. And uh first time caller, uh listening for about a year and a half, and you are the greatest.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I'm sorry I got your name wrong, Bud.
No problem.
I've been called worse.
Uh Rush, I was just outraged on this NAACP calling the Tea Party leaders or the Tea Party racists.
Uh when I heard that, I almost did a double flip, and I'm in a wheelchair, and that's hard to do.
Well, you know why they're doing it, don't you?
Yeah.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Trying to stir up their uh people for Bud, stop and think of that.
Stop and think what do black leaders think you have to do to get black voters energized, energized enough to care about voting.
What do black leaders think?
It's not talk about jobs, it's not talk about self-improvement, it's not it's not talk about economic growth.
No, no, no.
You gotta tell them that they're nothing but racists out there.
And that's the only way.
When you get down to the nubcrack in time, when you are desperate, the only way to get black voters engaged is to tell them that there are racists out there.
That's pretty sad.
That's pretty pathetic.
We'll be back.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, cutting edge societal evolution.
So I've checking the email during the break.
And I always look at subject lines in the primary email boxes.
I get 10,000 of emails in every hour in there.
Some scanning it says, you are in the news in Michigan.
I'm in the news everywhere.
Not just Michigan.
I'm in the news every day.
