Time Text
You know, I really, I'm wondering if Gibbs is in trouble today.
I really wonder if Robert Gibbs is in trouble.
Well, his boss told everybody not to listen to me.
His boss told the Republicans in Congress, don't listen to Limbaugh.
That's not how things get done in Washington.
I've been telling everybody, don't listen to Limbaugh.
Here's Gibbs out there, obviously listening to Limbaugh, or somebody in that shop is, in order to rip into or swerve.
I'd say they totaled whatever they had.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line.
Live!
It's great to have you.
Fastest three hours and the fastest week in media.
I am L. Rushbo at EIBnet.com and 1-800-282-2882.
We're going to get to the phones quickly in this hour.
We haven't had enough phone calls today because we've had this teachable moment of Gibbs and Obama Motors.
Let's see.
You know, Snerdley came up.
I was in the kitchen.
I was in the kitchen here in the EIB complex, and I didn't know anybody.
Snerdley was behind me, and I didn't know it.
And I hear this booming voice.
Do you know how lucky we had it as boys growing up?
What the hell's going on?
What's in here?
I turned around.
It's Snerdley there.
Oh, my gosh, what's coming next?
He said, look at all.
We're the last generation of guys.
It was fun to grow up as guys, as boys.
We had our muscle cars.
It was okay to want to have and spend time with beautiful women.
You go out there.
You could smoke.
You could drink and do whatever.
And nobody said a word.
You could just, you could just be really who you're now.
Look at these guys today.
They're being raised as wusses.
So much so they don't even go to college.
And what's in their future?
The Chevy Volt.
A bunch of electric cars, no muscle cars, no car and driver for them.
And Snerdley's got a point.
Guys growing up today, a bunch of wusses.
Or at least that's how they're being shaped.
So that's how they're being, you know, the feminazis have had this magical cultural takeover, or at least impact.
Has it worked, though?
Joe Arpaio, a guy's guy.
Joe Arpaio, our generation, a man's man.
Lost in the hoop law over Arizona's immigration law is the fact that state and local authorities for years have been doing their own aggressive crackdowns on the busiest illegal gateway into the country.
Now, this is the Arizona or the Associated Press, and they're livid about this.
I mean, you can just, you get the anger dripping off of the story.
Lost in the hoop law over Arizona's immigration.
How in the world could it have been lost when the AP has been doing stories of what a rotten SOB ARPAIO is for years?
How the hell could it be lost on them?
It's also hard to see how that the Associated Press can call this aggressive, their own aggressive crackdowns, meaning Arpaios, the local guys, when Arizona has been acting in a partnership with the federal government in what the AP in this story derisively terms the so-called 287G program.
I'm giving you a heads up on the rest of the story.
Nowhere in U.S. local, and in the U.S., is local enforcement more present than in metropolitan Phoenix.
So the bottom of the story is that despite the ruling, Arpaio hasn't stopped.
Despite the Arpaio, Joe Arpaio is still out there trying to find the illegals.
He's still trying to put him up in jail.
He's still trying to get him out of state.
That mean, evil guy.
The law is not stopping.
The judge didn't stop our pilot.
That's the thrust of the story.
Dan Balls in the Washington Post.
Maybe Robert Gibbs was right.
We're going back here a little ways to where Gibbs said it was totally understandable.
He said this one of the Sunday shows.
Totally understandable that the Republicans would win the House.
Remember when he said that?
And Pelosi had a conniption fit.
Here's Dan Balls of the Washington Post.
So Robert Gibbs was right.
Remember the uproar that Gibbs created when he said on national TV that there were certainly enough seats in play for Republicans to take control of the House in November?
House leaders upbraided him, expressed their anger to the White House.
But now the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee has confirmed the accuracy of Gibbs' assessment by reserving tens of millions of dollars in television advertising time this fall in about five dozen congressional districts.
For those of you in Riola, that's 60.
The Democrats might be speaking with bravado, but they're acting defensively, says Balls.
On Wednesday, Democrat National Committee Chairman Timothy Kaine, the I, offered his version of what a 2010 Republican contract with America might look like.
And of course, they're out there.
We can't go back.
I'm going to tell you steps backwards and so forth.
But anyway, the point of the story is that they're panicking and they're reserving all this TV time.
Much more TV time than incumbents who are confident would be worrying about.
They are targeting 50 seats.
The Democrats' expenditure here is targeting 50 or more seats.
And in the process, they are telegraphing their clear intention to play defense this fall, says Neil Newhouse, a Republican pollster.
And look at who they're spending money on.
It's not just the usual freshman and sophomore suspects, but also the longer-term members.
They are signaling their fear that this is definitely not your run-of-the-mill midterm election.
No, it's not.
And the ruling in Arizona just made it tougher for the Democrats in November.
From the AP out of Jefferson City, Missouri, more than 1 million people are expected to participate in what amounts to the largest ever public opinion poll on the nation's new health care law.
Missouri on Tuesday will become the first state to test the popularity of Obama's health care law with a statewide ballot proposal attempting to reject its core mandate that most Americans have health insurance, that you have to buy it.
The legal effect of Missouri's measure is questionable because federal laws generally supersede those in the states.
Yes, as we found out.
But its expected passage could send an ominous political message to Democrats seeking to hang on to their congressional majority in this year's midterm election.
AP, what is so hard to understand about this?
What is so hard to understand about the Democrats taking a bath this fall?
What is it that you don't understand about the Democrat Party running in sheer opposition to the American people?
This party is running against the will of the American people.
This party is siding against the American people, issue after issue after issue after issue.
This party has singled out American citizens as its enemy.
This party is siding with illegal immigrants, undocumented Democrats, in hopes of winning elections.
The Democrat Party has given up trying to win elections with American citizens' votes.
The Democrat Party has essentially said, we'll lose if only citizens vote.
We will lose if the people of this country are the only people vote.
Need illegal residents voting if we have a chance.
That's what there's AP, what's so hard to understand about this?
An ominous message?
This message has been ominous since about three months after Obama was emaculated.
No, snurdly, I'm dead serious when I said that.
The Democrat Party has determined they cannot win elections if the American citizens is the voting population.
The Democrat Party is guaranteed to lose if the universe of likely voters is American citizens.
Barack Obama and the Democrat Party are thus invested in registering illegals as new voters because they are governing against the will of the American people.
Now, in the normal, sane political world, this would change the party.
The party would say, you know what?
People don't like what we're doing.
We want to get their votes.
No, no, not now.
We finally reached the pinnacle of what it means to be a Democrat, and that is, screw you.
You don't like what we're doing?
Here's more of it.
You vote against us.
Here's how you're going to pay for it.
You don't like our legislative agenda?
Here it is rammed down your throat and in other orifices.
The Democrat Party is running and governing in defiance.
It's an amazing thing to see.
And they're media buddies, partisan political operatives disguised as journalists.
It's an ominous sign what might happen in Missouri.
The measure may not be legal, but that doesn't matter.
The message it sends Democrats could be ominous.
What's your first clue?
Have you seen the approval ratings, the popularity of Congress, which is owned by Democrats?
It's 11%.
Alligator tamers are more respected than Democrats and journalists.
We'll be back on Open Line Friday.
Don't go away.
I got a question for you.
It's not long until we get to August.
And in fact, what's the 30th?
31st is August 1st is Sunday.
It's our 22nd anniversary.
You realize that?
22 years on Sunday.
Anyway, August is also when members of Congress go home for town meetings.
Do you think the Democrats are going to be holding any town meetings this year?
You think people are mad?
Last August, we passed MAD several exits ago.
You think those are some heavily screened town hall meetings?
We'll see.
Show you right.
We'll see.
I got some email.
People think I'm making it up about Clinton and the astroturf of the El Camino.
You know, this just goes to show you that that's back in 1994.
That's 16 years ago.
You know, we've been here every day since 1994.
We think all of you have been here every day, but we realize the audience grows by leaps and bounds.
And some people listening today who weren't listening in 1994, for whatever reason, too young, they were Democrats or what have you, who might have thought I was making it up.
Did you think I was making it up?
Dawn thought I was making it up.
Dean Carianis up at the website, Coco Jr., went to the White House website.
This is from February 8th, 1994, remarks by the president to employees of General Motors.
It was in Shreveport, Louisiana at the GM plant.
And this is what he said.
And this is from archive.
It's web.archive.gov, webpub, whitehouse.gov.
It's an archive site of the webhouse.
I'd also like to say that I've been trying to think of a diplomatic way to ask for one of these pickups behind me.
I own when I was a younger man, when I had a life, I owned an El Camino pickup in the 70s.
As a real sort of Southern deal, I had Asterturf in the back.
You don't know what I did.
You don't want to know why, but I did.
And I drove it literally until the blocks broke.
I drove it until it just wouldn't go anymore.
And you know, when I retire, maybe I can have another one.
And they started applauding.
You know, this is a, I don't want to make too big a deal out of this, but that's a teachable moment for me.
Here I tell a true story about Clinton.
I get inundated with an email from people who don't believe it.
Think, Rush, that's funny as hell.
Great story.
Wish I'd have thought of it.
No, it's true.
Here's why I say, Don't doubt me.
Here is Josh in Dayton, Ohio.
Nice to have you on the EIB.
Hi, I just wanted to get your thoughts on the table sign on TS.
Does anybody understand what he's saying?
Oh, you want to get my thoughts on the Bengals hiring T.O.?
Yes, sir.
Where are you?
Josh, where are you?
I have to know where you are.
I work in a machine shop.
Aha.
Are you inside the machine?
Pretty quiet.
Yeah, I was going to say, you sound like you're in a barrel or down in the end of a tunnel or something.
Okay, what do I think of the Bengals hiring T.O.?
I think it's perfectly within, I think it's perfectly in character.
The Cincinnati Bengals have been hiring questionable characters for a long, long time.
I think it's probably a good time for them to hire T.O. because T.O. knows he's a number two receiver now.
Chad Ocho Cinco is the number one receiver on the team.
They're supposedly their friends.
Chad Ochosinko has a reality show.
T.O. has a reality show.
They're apparently good buddies.
And Pac-Man Jones is on that team now.
Adam Pac-Man Jones, a quarterback.
Well, it happened in the offseason, Snerdley.
That's what I mean.
The Bengals have a track record of hiring some of these, they take chance like Al Davis used to do with the Raiders.
So who knows?
I think they know something.
Josh, this is the strangest.
Did he hang up?
We just lost him.
I know he's out there listening.
Josh, if you're a Bengals fan, this is it.
I mean, we're nearing the point in time where this is it for Carson Palmer, the quarterback.
He wants the weapons.
And they got some running backs.
They've been stymied because they've had one receiver, Chad Ocho Cinco, double Chad, and they haven't had a tight end there of any note.
They do have one now.
And Baltimore's coming on with a great offseason.
So, I know it's going to be fun.
Who assigned anybody a merit?
What teams have signed anybody with merit?
Well, T.O.'s got merit.
T.O. has merit.
T.O. takes two years to take over a clubhouse and destroy it.
He did fine after one year in Buffalo.
He did fine down in Dallas.
It took him his second year to blow up things for McNab in Philadelphia.
It took a bunch of years to blow up the 49ers.
He'll be fine, I think, for one year in San Francisco.
If he is, as they say, if it's being reported, if he's comfortable and has accepted the fact that he's not the number one guy on that team, then cool.
Ocho Cinco is.
You know, Chad Ocho Cinco, 30 or 31 years old.
Terrell Owens, 35.
35 is the magic number.
Who?
T.O.'s 36?
Okay, even better.
35, 36, magic number for skill position players.
And when the team start looking at younger players, even at running backs, it's even younger than Ed.
What?
Steelers are a big enigma.
Steelers don't know what quarterback they're going to have for the first four or six weeks.
Their best offensive lineman, who was down there in Georgia with Rothlessberger in the bar on the pub crawl, blew out his Achilles a couple weeks.
He's out for the season.
So the Steelers just picked up the Cowboys rejected offensive tackle, left tackle Flozel Adams, who is 35.
So they've got this number one pick.
They're Marquise Pincy metal block, and his name is Center from Florida.
Can play right guard or center.
Well, Brett Farbrett, Farb, Brett, Farbrett, Favre, it's interesting that Brett Farbrett-Farb, Brett, Farbrett-Favre is not occupying everybody's curiosity this offseason.
It's just assumed that after two or three preseason games have been played that Brett Farbrett, Farbrett, Farbrett, Favre will show up and play.
Remember now, the Vikings and Brett Farbrett-Farbrett, Farb, Brett Favre open on Thursday night against the Saints.
In a rematch of the championship game is the Thursday night NBC opener.
Brett Farbrett Farbrett Farbrett Farbrett Favre will be there.
And I think pretty much everybody knows this.
Now, as you know, I happen to be a Steelers fan.
Apparently, based on the OTAs and the minicamps in the offseason, they're going to go with Byron Leftwich as their number one quarterback.
He spent some time with them two seasons ago, spent some time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year.
The guy I like on that team is Dennis Dixon, the number two quarterback who got a chance to play in Baltimore against the Thugs when Roethlisberger was out with a concussion last year.
I love Dennis Dixon.
I think he's great with him.
Dallas, you know, Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones had something very interesting the other day.
He talked down the Cowboys' chances this year.
Normally he's just bulldozing all the way to the top, the championship robust.
The Super Bowl's in their stadium this year.
And secretly, and everybody knows this is not a secret, Jerry Jones would give anything to be the first ever team to play in its own stadium in the Super Bowl.
So that's their objective.
So Jerry Jones with a new procedure is talking a little humility about the team's chances this year, which is an indication that he did serious about it.
And Peter King, Sports Illustrated, just finished a visit there.
He said, player for player, they got the most depth of any team in the National Football League, especially at the skilled positions.
Most depth, best roster.
Meaning they can afford to lose frontline people and not lose as much as if in most of the teams.
So this is a great time of the NFL season.
There are about 32 teams and about 28 of them think they have a chance.
Only four of them know that it's hopeless.
There are four of them know, and their fans, that there's not a prayer.
But 28, 28 teams think this could be their year.
Got to take a timeout.
It's an obscene profit timeout.
Back after this with much more.
I keep seeing Charlie Wrangell flash up there on the screen.
I guess they're going to have a trial, ethics charge.
I'm just wondering if he changed his name, would he give himself a better shot at beating this?
Well, I don't know.
Khalid Sheikh Ranglishi or something.
You just never know.
And with Wrangell, anything could be on the table.
You know, being the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing Maha Rushi that I am, I already know, I already know how you're going to react to the latest report given to us by the Heritage Foundation.
In this report, they point out that the Obama Department of Education budget has doubled in the past year.
And they did it very quietly.
$98 billion in new dollars from the stimulus package is now in the Education Department's hands, and they can use it however they wish.
No congressional oversight, no hearings, no resolutions to debate in Congress, nothing.
They've just had $98 billion thrown their way.
Instead, we have an education secretary making a speech this week where he says it's all part of a quiet revolution in education here in America.
Quiet revolution.
And he's right when he says quiet.
So every state in the country is looking to get a piece of this new $100 billion for their local schools.
And in order to get it, they're going to have to buy into key pieces of Obama's education agenda.
There's no question that our schools and teaching standards need attention.
But even if you have the best plan, if you have the best plan the world has ever seen for educating our students, employing some little checks and balances is a good thing.
But if they're going to start throwing $98 billion, $100 billion out there and you need your percentage of it and you're going to have to do whatever Obama wants to get it, I doubt that we're going to be improving education.
All this is detailed in a report the Heritage Foundation posted at askheritage.org.

Stephen Reno, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Awesome, Rush.
You're awesome, Rush.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate that, sir.
Hey, my comment goes back to the start of the program here talking about not allowing General Motors to go bankrupt.
I've just started a third business over the course of the last 30 years, and fortunately, I've had two businesses have failed.
And I don't want to minimize the trauma of bankruptcy.
It's not a fun thing.
But my comment is this: they were both construction companies, and No less than five of my employees that I employed over those years have gone on to start their own companies, and they're quite successful, I would have to say, probably to a large degree learning from a lot of the mistakes they saw me made.
Now, wait, was this, did you say construction business?
Yes, sir.
Have you reformed?
You reorganized?
You invested?
I just opened up a cabinet shop about a year ago, so I've gone from building custom homes, and now I'm building cabinets.
But my point is this: I don't think people, like I say, out of the five employees of mine that have started their own companies, basically, they didn't know which end of a hammer to use when they started working for me.
And I trained them, and like I say, they saw that they took the good points they saw from me and also the mistakes that I made.
And I think they used that experience to start their own companies, and they're very successful, and they employ a lot of people.
Well, let me ask you a question.
Yeah.
Do you hate them?
Oh, no, I love them.
I look at it.
I think, well, that was something good that came out of my failure.
And my point is this, in relation to General Motors, I mean, if General Motors had been allowed to go through bankruptcy, I believe they would have emerged a much, much stronger, more viable entity.
And, you know, there would have been some pain, no question about it.
But in the long term.
Well, at the time, at the time, let's not forget something here.
The automobile companies themselves did not want to go that route.
And the reason they didn't want to go that route was very simple.
I don't happen to agree with them, but this is what they said.
Nobody's going to buy a car from a company in bankruptcy.
And nobody's going to think a car that's purchased from a company in bankruptcy will be serviced because nobody's going to think the company is going to survive.
They thought it would not have, well, not having a negative impact on sales if they were in bankruptcy, that nobody would buy anything from them.
And look, I'll tell you something else.
You know, there's a sad reality here, Steve.
It's one of these many things, if I could wave a magic wand, I would change.
When the government's passing out money, it's not all that hard to get in line to put your hand out, especially if it'll keep you from going bankrupt, if they keep you out of bankruptcy.
And you'll, okay, you got some strings attached to the money.
Fine, just give me the money, give me the money, give me the money.
I don't want this company to go bankrupt on my watch.
It's a powerful, powerful lure when people like Obama come around passing out money.
So it was, I don't, I agree with you.
I think reorganization, take care of the creditors, start anew, start clean.
Even if they had done that, they're still going to be dealing these onerous mileage restrictions, cafe standards, and all that sort of stuff.
I understand that, but they probably could have alleviated it.
They could have renegotiated union contracts, which I think is probably the same.
This is a dirty, with Obama in office, no way.
The whole point of these bailouts was to make sure the unions got ownership.
They were never going to be allowed to go bankruptcy in the first place, even if they had wanted to.
You don't think so?
No, I don't think Obama wasn't.
I think they had asked for something like $50 million to avoid bankruptcy just to keep their health care and retirement pensions funded, and they were turned down.
That's amazing, yeah.
Because Obama wanted to own the company, Obama wanted UAW people on the board.
Take a look at what 55% of the stock is owned by the UAW, I believe.
And what's been fascinating about this is to watch now the UAW negotiate labor contracts with itself.
It's been kind of hilarious.
$50 billion, they wanted just to shore up the health care and pensions, and they would stay in business that way and not file bankruptcy.
But that was rejected by the regime.
Well, I know bankruptcy is called, some people call it creative destruction.
And it is one of those things that pops up now and then a lot of people have come out of it and prospered.
A lot of people have used it to get out of paying bills.
It's a whole bunch of tools available.
Anyway, Steve, thanks for the call.
Ray in San Francisco, you're next at Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Yes.
Are you there?
Right here, sir.
Oh, great.
Thank you for your show.
You bet.
Thank you for your leadership and your unwavering leadership.
Thank you.
I own two F-150s, and I'm a charter member of the Limbaugh Letters.
So it gives me credibility here.
Thank you very much.
Why two?
Yeah, because they're great trucks.
I've got a 93, and I've got a 2001.
I've even got a Ford van.
We're a Ford family, and they all have V8s in them.
Now, on the Volt.
Yeah, but see, you have two Ford F-150s.
That means some poor schlub out there does not have one.
Well, one for me and one for my wife.
How's that?
Okay, but I'm sure if Robert Gibbs is listening, you don't need two.
You are selfish.
You're a glutton.
What do you mean you have two?
Because you have two.
Somebody that really wants one can't have it.
Well, I'm sorry.
He's going to have to go out there and bust his butt like me and earn his own F-150 the way I did.
Now, the Volt only goes 40 miles because that's part of the plan.
They don't want us to travel any further than 40 miles.
And the former CEO of GM, a guy named Rick Wagner, when he took over the corporation, he said, this is in Imprimus, this publication.
They did an interview with him.
He said he thought he was going to head the world's largest automobile manufacturing company, but he quickly discovered he was going to be the administrator for a health care plan.
I remember that quote.
And then, by the way, Imprimus is the Hillsdale College publication.
It's free.
And I remember that quote.
I remember quoting him from that quote on this program, that he thought when he finally got to the CEO position of General Motors, that he was going to be in charge of the largest car company in the world.
And instead, what he had to learn was how to administer the largest health care plan in the country.
And I've never forgotten that quote.
He was exactly right about it.
And it just one of those little missing pieces that you can plug into the puzzle and say, what went wrong?
Back after this.
Don't go away.
It's Open Line Friday.
El Rushboat serving humanity, executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
The most ethical Congress in history, Nancy Pelosi, going to drain the swamp, she said.
Yesterday afternoon in Washington at the House Ethics adjudicatory subcommittee hearing, here is Representative Gene Green, a Democrat from Texas, reading the charges against New York Congressman Charles Wrangell.
The charges in the statement of alleged violations relate to four general subject matters.
One, solicitations and donations to the Wrangell Center for Public Service at the City College, New York.
Two, errors and omissions on Representative Wrangell's financial disclosure statements.
Three, use of rent-subsidized residential apartment by respondents' campaign committees.
And four, failure to report and pay taxes on rental income on Respondus Punta Cana Beach Villa.
The 13 charges are as follows.
Count 1, conduct in violation of the solicitation and banned gift.
Count two, conduct in violation of the conduct of ethics for government service, clause five.
Count three, conduct in violation of the House gifts rule.
Count four, conduct in violation of postal service laws and franking commission regulations.
Count five, conduct in violation of the franking statute.
Count six, conduct in violation of the House Office Building and Commission's regulations.
Count seven, conduct in violation of the purpose law and the members' congressional handbook.
Count eight, conduct in violation of the letterhead rule.
Count nine, conduct in violation of the ethics and government action.
I didn't know he broke the letterhead rule.
Of all the rules he broke, that's a new one on me.
Count eight is conduct in violation of the letterhead rule.
That's taking it too far.
Of all these, they didn't pay taxes for rent control department, but he lied on the letterhead.
Let's listen to the rest of the charges.
26, Count 10, conduct in violation of code of ethics for government service, clause 5.
Count 11, conduct in violation of the code of ethics for the government service, clause 2.
Count 12, conduct in violation of code of conduct, letter and spirit of the house rules.
Count 13, conduct in violation of the code of conduct, conduct reflecting discredibility on the house.
There you have 13 charges, ethics violations against Charlie Wrangell.
Here is between 2008 and the present.
Here is the sum total of Wrangell's responses to these allegations to date.
What are you talking about?
You're just trying to make copies?
It's a dumb question.
Why don't you mind your god business?
Where I live and how I live is nobody's damn business the way I live.
I don't pay too much attention to irresponsible reporters who report inaccuracies.
False accusations have been made by a reporter.
Common sense dictates that members of Congress should not be held responsible for wrongdoing.
I have to now deal with my lawyer as to what the hell do they mean.
60 years ago, I survived a Chinese attack in North Korea.
And as a result, having survived that, then I hadn't had a bad day since.
Today I have to reassess that.
As a sum total of Wrangell's responses to all these charges, 2008, 2010, let's go back April 18th, 2001.
New Jersey, Senator Bob Torricelli, denying corruption charges as they were laid out.
We have cut-ins of the attorney of the guy who gave Torricelli all of the illegal goods, Brad Simon, listing the lavish gifts that Torricelli accepted while he denies the charge.
To challenge my integrity is beneath contempt.
I do not deserve this treatment.
Two watches, a Rolex watch, diamond earrings for his girlfriend.
I have never television set ever oriental rug, grandfather clock, other antique items.
Done anything.
Suits.
At any time.
Approximately 14 deliveries of envelopes of cash to Torricelli's house.
