Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Folks, how bad can the economy really be?
I mean, let's face it.
If some guy is just willing to quit his job and jump out of an airplane, uh Jed Blue.
I mean, how bad can it be?
I mean.
Greetings and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
I know not just a little funny comment there, Mr. Snerdley.
Great to have you back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh already Wednesday, the fastest media, uh fastest week in media.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address Ill Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
Poor poor old Charlie Wrangle.
Poor Charlie Wrangle.
I you know, in a way, I kind of feel sorry for the guy.
And how bad is it for Obama?
I mean, how how bad it to show you how far down Obama has fallen, even in the eyes of the media.
This in this incumbent senator, Michael Bennett, out in Colorado, won the Democrat primary in Colorado.
And this is now an historic victory for Obama because he's an incumbent.
And because Clinton was running against the Clinton was endorsing the other guy.
And now we've got the media going, I mean, his one candidate beat out the candidates supported by Bill Clinton.
They're calling this historic.
I love this.
And poor old Charlie Wrangle.
Can you imagine what Charlie Wrangle feels?
Now stick with me on this.
We'll get to Facebook in just a second to stick with me on this.
Here's Charlie Wrangle, ahead of the Ways and Means Committee.
He was a top dog in the Pelosi machine.
He was connected to Obama and his pledges.
I mean, he was as in deep as anybody could be.
Well, after endorsing Hillary.
And he gets caught.
Of all the people, Wrangle gets caught.
So, you know, he cashes a few bucks here and there, and they go out and they humiliate Charlie Wrangle.
Pelosi, meanwhile, is redirecting hundreds of millions of dollars.
Obama is buying votes and paying off and giving away candy to people to the tune of trillions of dollars.
He misspeaks on everything.
He lies through his teeth.
He's out there playing basketball.
He's have football teams in the White House.
He's acting like a groupie, a sports groupie in the White House.
And it's Wrangle that gets nailed.
I mean, I'm all for draining the swamp here for heaven's sake, folks.
There's a lot of other cat crocodiles in this swamp than Wrangle.
And that, you know, let's not be satisfied just with Wrangle or Wrangle.
80 years old, the figure he's done anyway, sacrificial lamb throw him away, maybe Maxine Waters too.
But there's bigger crocs and bigger fish in this swamp.
Anyway, uh we have gone live on our Facebook page, and the address or the web link is Facebook.com Rush Limbaugh.
We got 20 wedding pictures that have been posted at our uh page.

The wall tabs where we will post things now and then.
And you'll want to check back often purely to assure yourself of having missed nothing.
So the address is Facebook.com slash Rush Limbaugh.
This page, we we we went live about 10 30, 11 o'clock this morning.
And it's already the number five most trafficked site in all of the internet.
It's probably higher than that now since uh since I've given this first shout out.
So the wedding pictures are there.
This there's 20 of them.
And I don't know, we might add some more.
There aren't any of the guests.
And we because we haven't sought permission from the guests, you know, this thing was a private affair.
We've decided to put these pictures up.
Uh originally we didn't intend to do any of this, but there's been such a clamor, and frankly, the pictures are such works of art.
Uh, that after we saw them, Catherine and I, we wanted some of these things to be seen.
So that's why uh we've created the Facebook page for you to see the wedding picks.
And we might put some more up uh in the course of time.
I don't know if we will or not, but uh there's some of Elton John in the performance uh after the reception, after the wedding, some of the ceremony.
There's a picture of me and Snerdley.
Uh people are always wanting to know what Snerdley looks like, so there's a picture of Snerdley and me.
Uh that's that's there.
So these are these are the first 20 or 7,000 of these pictures from both nights of the weekend of revelry.
What's uh what what what what what do you the first picture of Catherine?
That's that's all these pictures are works of art.
That that that first pic, that picture of me and Catherine is sitting.
We are we are watching, this is before the uh the uh well, I think it's during the Elton John concert or either right before it.
Uh but we're sitting in the uh in the ballroom where uh where that took place at the uh at the breakers is uh is where it was.
So anyway, we got a lot going on on the program.
As I knew the media tweak yesterday, uh, all over CNN, they're just beside themselves.
That I would dare suggest that the media is giving Michelle Obama or Muchell, they haven't caught on to that yet, uh Muchell Obama a free ride on a vacation because of our slave pass.
That just is sent them over to Edge, as I knew it would.
I know how to tweak these people uh left and right, plus, you know, the the media doing everything it can to say big win for Obama in Colorado.
Big win.
But the funny thing is this guy Bennett is an incumbent, and that's why they're saying it's a big win for Obama, because this is supposedly gonna be an election where the incumbents are all thrown out.
Uh it's also a big deal because Clinton went in and endorsed uh Bennett's opponent.
But the interesting thing is that Bennett is publicly saying he's not sure if he wants Obama to come into Colorado and campaign for him while the politico is going on and on and on saying what a great, great thing this is for Obama.
So we got lots to do today.
A lot of it, a lot of fun.
You sit tight.
We'll be back to get started with all the rest of it right after this.
It's a big day for Barack Obama in the uh partisan political operative media.
And why is it an historic day?
It's an historic day, folks, because Obama has been on an endorsement losing streak.
His shirt tails are made of toilet paper.
Nobody can hold on to him.
Literally, an endorsement by Obama was the kiss of death.
And so today, in fairness and friendship, ladies and gentlemen, fairness and friendship, we congratulate a sitting president, a party leader, a man respected everywhere for such an historic event.
The man he endorsed, the incumbent, he endorsed one.
This is huge.
This is huge, folks.
It's historic.
Never before has this happened.
A sitting president has endorsed an incumbent who won.
History continues to be made.
That's how they're portraying this in the media.
I mean, here it is in the Politico by John Harris, and this prints out to like five pages.
Primary night yields good news for Obama and Democrats.
Obama and a Democrat Party who have been starved for good news through much of 2010 finally received a generous helping on Tuesday night.
Translation, the apparatchik media starved for any excuse to say something good about a tanking president.
Took this excuse, the endorsement of an incumbent who wins, to do so.
Republicans, meanwhile, were left with several new reasons to wonder whether all the favorable national trends showing up in polls are enough to overcome local candidates who are inspiring little confidence about their readiness for the general election twelve weeks from now.
Okay, let me translate this again.
Republican insiders who do not understand the Tea Party movement any more than the apparatus do are the only ones worried about local candidates' readiness.
Where was this concern for inexperience when Obama was running for office?
Inspiring little confidence about their readiness for the general election twelve weeks from now.
Nobody was worried about Obama's readiness.
At least in the drive-by media in each of the four states that held primaries on Tuesday, the GOP either nominated or gave an overnight lead to candidates tarnished by scandal, gaffes, or some other significant vulnerability, as opposed to scandal-ridden Democrats who are members of the ruling class and who head committees that say write all of our tax laws.
So it's only the Republicans who are scandal plagued.
They have been so starved at Politico, so starved in the state-controlled media to write something positive about Obama that it is hilariously ridiculous.
Their primary election analysis from last night, Politico demonstrates a typical inside the Beltway ruling class mindset that...
They have no idea what you are thinking.
No idea what you have on your mind.com.
It's funny enough to be a spoof.
I mean, they are bending themselves like pretzels to make all of this one outcome in Colorado a great historic day for our beloved young man child president, Barack Obama.
Senator Bennett says he'll have to see, though, whether he wants Obama on the trail.
Michael Bennett, Democrat Colorado, said we have to see whether he wants Obama on a campaign trail within this fall.
Bennett, fresh off a primary victory over former State House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, Tuesday night, said it was too soon to say whether he wanted Obama to campaign with Him.
And yet here's the politico saying something historic happened yesterday.
A sitting president endorsed an incumbent who won.
Happy days are here again.
We're back to normal.
Barack Obama, who used to have toilet paper for coattails, is now on a huge winning streak.
But the guy he endorsed.
Not so sure he wants Obama in town to campaign for it.
We'll have to see, said the freshman senator on Good Morning America today when he was asked about it.
Well, obviously we'll do what's uh what's right for the campaign.
Obama's been a huge help.
And I appreciate his endorsement, Bennett said.
We'll uh we'll see what happens between now and November.
The senator's victory delivered signs of relief at the White House, which had also sought to battle an emerging storyline that the president was politically toxic to Democrats who are fighting to retain their house and Senate majorities.
And he is.
He is an incumbent wins.
You know, Bill Clinton is no king in endorsing anybody either.
So you hear you had two endorsement losers competing against each other.
Clinton and Obama, one of them had to win.
The incumbent wins, it's fairly close.
And we, my friends, find ourselves immersed in an historic moment in American history.
Robert Gibbs yesterday failed to show up at the White House press briefing.
They said he had a bad cough.
The real reason was he ticked off the left.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs trying to climb down.
From angry remarks, he aimed at left-wing critics, calling them crazy.
This was in an interview with the Hill newspaper in Washington.
Gibbs said, Yeah, I hear these people saying that that Obama's like George Bush.
Those people ought to, they ought to be drug tested.
I mean, it's crazy.
He called these people criticizing Obama the professional left in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right.
He said, Look, these people, this is this is this is Gibbs talking about Obama's left.
They're gonna be satisfied when we have Canadian health care and we've eliminated the Pentagon.
That's not reality.
Within hours of the interview being published, Gibbs tried to walk back his comments, calling them inartful.
He told the Huffing and Puffington Post, I watched too much cable.
I admit it.
What could he possibly watching on cable?
There's only one thing he watches on cable.
MSNBC.
So he has just blamed MSNBC for his inartful comments.
He's just blamed them for influencing the uh the way he came off.
It's it's hilarious.
Uh ladies and gentlemen.
Now, let's in this in this Colorado election, the Democrat that Obama endorsed, about whom the media is orgasmically excited today.
Bennett, he got 183,521 votes.
The winning Republican candidate, and this is really what this is all about.
The winning Republican candidate, Keith Ken Buck, got 209,967 votes.
They can sit there and they can have their little orgasm all they like about look at Dad, look at Obama's coattail, look at his star power.
Man, he endorsed wins.
Clinton's endorsee loses.
The Republican candidate cleaned up with more votes than any of them.
Now, I actually think uh the uh some of the some of the of the media are beginning to say that Obama is losing his cool because Gibbs doesn't go out there and speak on his own.
Gibbs gonna go out and call the these people, these Obama critics the uh the professional left.
You have to know that this was orchestrated.
This was Obama's attempt at triangulating.
There's no question Obama used Gibbs to try to go out there and create a sister soldier moment by going out there and criticizing the left.
Oh, yeah, these professional, these professional leftists, professional liberals.
That's practically That's the ruling class he's attacking.
And that comment was aimed at whites and independents who are fleeing Obama in droves.
Can you really believe that a White House press secretary would run down Canadian health care when that's exactly where they're aiming?
Single payer health care is exactly where they're aiming.
And yet Gibbs goes out there and says, Yeah, they're upset.
They want Canadian health care.
It's never gonna happen.
It is gonna happen.
That's their sole objective.
So once again, Obama has to hide behind Gibbs, lie about his intentions in order to try to win back some mainstream support that he's lost.
And the same thing with the Pentagon, believe me.
Don't doubt me.
If these guys could, they would make the Pentagon as irrelevant as they could.
They already announced some budget cuts yesterday.
They eliminate the Pentagon.
Never gonna happen.
It probably won't happen.
But don't doubt for a moment that Obama and his most trusted inner circle would love to make the Pentagon irrelevant.
That's who they are.
By the way, I should point out, ladies and gentlemen, that the uh the Bennett campaign, the Democrat Senate campaign in uh in Colorado is remarkable in that it is similar to other Democrat campaigns in the last year.
This guy ran against big government.
This Democrat Bennett ran against big government.
He was anti-big spending.
He was anti, pretty much anti-Obama in the sense that he was against the current big spending agenda.
So the guy had to run, not as a liberal.
He had to run more as a conservative, and certainly not as a socialist.
Bennett in Colorado, the incumbent, in order to win.
And even at that, he gets fewer votes than the Republican candidate got the uh in the same race.
A crowd of people, this is from the Atlanta Urinal Constipation, a crowd of people hoping to get federal housing assistance became unruly this morning.
Reports of fights breaking out in the crowd.
Uh thousands of people were lined up at the Tri-Cities Shopping Center, hoping to apply for a voucher from the East Point Housing Authority.
That'll give them a discount on their rent.
People began lining up at the shopping center two days ago, and by Wednesday morning, the crowd had grown to over a thousand people.
East Point cops, some of them wearing riot helmets, were patrolling the area.
Firefighters and EMTs were attending to people who were overheating in the sun.
College park police and firefighters were also assisting in crowd control.
Felicia McGee told the Atlanta urinal constipation.
She got around uh arrived at 6.30 this morning.
She said the major problem began when people started breaking into the line, and officials started moving the areas where they were handing out applications.
Man, this is reminiscent of what happened in Detroit.
When thousands of people showed up for vouchers to get help with something, here are vouchers to get help with rent in Atlanta.
Felicia McGee said that she saw at least two small children trampled when the crowd rushed the building where the applications were to be handed out.
I saw the pictures of the Atlanta Journal of Constitution website, and they're incredible.
And this is what we've come to.
Here we are in the summer of recovery.
Here we are in the midst of an Obama economic rebound.
Obama's America, Obamaville, and the announcement that there will be vouchers made available for discounts on rent causes a mob to form in Atlanta with violence and all kinds of things attaching to it.
It's a real mess out there, said Felicia McGee, eyeball two action news reporters said fights are breaking out.
Police had to stop people who were storming the door at the shopping center.
Eyeball news reporter Tom Jones, their thousands, I mean thousands of people here.
I've seen people fall out from the heat.
By late morning, the crowd had thinned considerably.
People were walking up and getting their applications without delay.
Housing authority be issuing applications starting at 9 a.m. today.
That's that's uh when the whole thing started.
So here we are, summer of recovery.
Riots in Atlanta, or near riots over vouchers for help with rent in the United States of America.
Audio sound bites.
We're gonna start last night on Larry King Alive, the fill-in host with Tavis Smiley.
He spoke with actress and activist Alicia Tyler about race in America.
I have never heard of Alicia Tyler.
Have you heard of Alicia Tyler in there?
And never heard of her.
Snurdley, you haven't heard of Alicia.
HR, you never heard of Alicia Tyler.
Nobody's ever heard of her.
Anyway, she's a guest on this show with the Tavis Siley sitting in for Larry King.
And Tavis Smiley said, Maxine Waters makes the point that this committee is established under the Democrats, but the names that keep leaking out happen to be African American members of Congress.
She's talking about the Ethics Committee, and they're all upset here.
They're upset on before Pelosi finishes, there isn't going to be a CBC.
There isn't going to be a Congressional Black Caucus.
It's going to be a CCC, the Congressional Caucasian Caucus, Maxine Waters and Charlie Wrangle, Charlie Wrangle, he is you would not believe the way members of the Democrat Party are reacting to Wrangle's peach yesterday.
They are rolling their eyes, they don't want to talk about it.
They just want him out.
They don't want him to run for real.
They just want Wrangell gone.
Even the uh the extreme lefties, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, just Charlie, just get out of here.
Just scram.
And they're going to be saying it about Maxine Waters pretty soon.
And Maxine was asked by Tavis Smiley, look, um, ethics committee.
But it's Democrats.
Under the Democrats, that names keep leaking out, and they happen to be African American names.
Eight names of members of the Congressional Black Caucus under investigation have been leaked, including Charlie Wrangle and Maxine Waters.
What do you make of that, Alicia Tyler?
When you look at something like the Floatus trip to Spain, and everyone's criticizing her for not taking American trips.
She's already taken four American vacations this year.
There is this ongoing effort to call regular kind of common behavior into question and associate it somehow with race.
The word racist is overused.
There is a subtext of racialism where you when you have somebody like Rush Limbaugh saying that the reason that Michelle Obama went to Spain is that black people are trying to get some of what white people have enjoyed.
Come on.
Racialism.
Now that wasn't even a question.
This woman has got living rent-free in Alicia Tyler's small cranium.
She's asked about only black members of Congress names leaking from the from the ethics committee.
Investigation, and she goes off on my racialism, my comment about Michelle My Bell Muchell's trip to Spain.
Now, the only members under investigation by the House Ethics Committee are black.
They they are in the Congressional Black Caucus, so no white guys' names can leak out.
And that's what see this is what Maxine and Charlie think.
And I guarantee you, some members of Congressional Black Caucus also think that there's uh uh some discrimination going on from the Democrats.
The Democrats run the Ethics Committee.
Now, people ask me, well, Rush, I mean, Maxine Waters, her constituents love her, and Wrangle, his constituents love him.
I mean, isn't that what this is all about?
Look at Maxine Waters is just Charlie Wrangle in a skirt.
They are other than that, there's no difference in the two.
You'd need you'd need uh clothing, attire to be able to differentiate themselves.
Now, the reason African American names keep leaking out about the ethics investigations because they are only investigating blacks at the moment.
Now, think of that what you will.
But I have nothing to do with the ethics committee.
I want it said right here and now.
I got nothing to do with it.
I don't even know, I don't, I only know one person.
I mean I don't know the person all that well, but I just I only know one member of the committee.
Well, I've not talked to that person about what the committee's doing.
I have nothing to do with it.
So here's this Alicia Taylor, who is allegedly famous somewhere, asked about this, and she goes off on a rant about my comments about Muchell Obama's Spanish vacation.
So Tavis Tavis Slammy comes back as well.
Lay out for us your point, uh, at least about Michelle Obama's trip.
So Tavis has given up on the ethics committee question with with Alicia Tyler.
Okay, Alicia, you want to talk about Limbaugh and Muchell going to Spain.
So uh layout for us.
Uh your point about Michelle Obama's trip to Spain.
Uh Stephanie Miller, also on the show.
You'll hear her in this little bite.
The thing that I'm really struggling with here, and I'm not gonna call Rush Limbaugh a racist, but that is a racialist attitude.
To say that somehow black people have never traveled abroad until the first lady got her shot at Spain.
I mean, look, I speak three languages.
I lived in Europe, I lived overseas.
The idea that somehow she's getting back at white people for slavery by paying her own way to take her daughter to Spain is just extraordinary hyperbole of the highest order, and it's ridiculous.
Well, now we know that uh in addition to being unknown, Alicia Tyler is also uninformed.
Um a little ignorant.
Uh I'd never said anything of the sort.
I I I never in fact, I have to look at the transcript here to find out again what she said that I said.
The idea somehow she's getting back at white people for slavery by paying her own.
I never said that.
That somehow black people have never traveled abroad until the first lady got her shot.
I never said that.
Never said what Alicia, you know, you you people have got to understand.
Much as you would like to think it, I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about the media.
To put this in context, here we have Michelle Obama with three different reasons given for her trip to Spain with 40 people, 60 rooms, a Boeing 757 on her husband's birthday, while he's paling around with Oprah and Gail King and the New Orleans Saints, and a bunch of NBA players shooting hoops at a barbecue.
And the media cannot find anything to criticize about this.
Whereas George Bush goes on vacation to his home, a shack in Crawford and chops wood, and the media gives him grief for never showing up on the job for being always on vacation.
The Obamas are in their fourth vacation this month.
They're trying to see if they can squeeze in a couple days of vacation in Florida with the other vacation time they've already scheduled.
The Bush has never put 40 people in a 60-room hotel at 5,000 bucks a night and flew them all over the world on a 757.
And I'm simply saying that they get a pass on this.
Because well, they deserve it.
You know, our slave past, our discriminatory past, it's only fair now that people get their piece of the pie here.
They get their piece of the public dole.
I mean, white politicians have been doing this for years.
I'm talking about the media attitude.
I'm talking why is the media giving the UK media gave us all the dirty rotten details.
The UK media told us about how out of touch this woman happens to be, how the Obamas happened.
The UK media, the foreign press is covering this properly appropriately.
The uh the American media is giving all this a pass, and I'm simply speaking.
Why?
Why?
Because there's a guilt.
A guilt over how mistreated blacks in this country have been.
And it's like William Jefferson.
I actually read stories.
Here's a guy hiding 90 grand of coal cash in the freezer, and he's taking rescue vehicles from Katrina to go to his house to get that coal cash so investigators don't get it first.
And there are apologists in the media say, well, you gotta understand Rush.
He's never had any money.
He came from a shave crop, uh uh a sharecropper past.
You gotta understand that that uh uh it's uh you've gotta cut them some slack.
You know, all the grief that they've had to go through as Americans.
And it's simply the Thing I'm saying here about the reason the media is uh is giving a pass to Michelle My Bell on this trip.
A question from the official program observer.
Yes, Mr. I never heard of a racialist.
Uh I don't know.
Well, a racialist is.
Just like I don't know who Alicia Tyler is.
All right, it's Ayesha Taylor.
Have you ever heard of Aisha Taylor?
Still doesn't know.
I was mispronouncing it.
It's AISH.
Aisha.
She's in a Jennifer Love Hewitt movie.
An actress in a stand-up comedian.
She's an actress in a stand-up comedian.
I also, snerdly since you axed.
I also looked up racialist.
And the um uh here's the definition of racialist.
Old English dictionary definition.
A partisan of racialism, an advocate of a racial theory.
Which, if I'm reading this right, is the exact opposite of my position.
I am not an advocate of a racial theory.
The NAALCP is an advocate of a racial theory.
So you'd have to say the NAALCP is racialist.
I should point out that Ayesha Taylor has won an NAACP image award for being black.
So the NAACP, the racialist NAACP, has given Ms. Tyler an image award.
I I remember the day when comedians used to be famous when somebody would mention a comedian's name, I would know who they are.
I also remember the day when comedians used to be funny.
But those days have come and gone.

From the Associated Press, the Obama administration passing out more candy.
Get this.
The regime is providing three billion dollars to unemployed homeowners facing foreclosure in the nation's toughest job markets.
The Treasury Department says it'll send two billion to 17 states that have unemployment rates higher than the national average for a year.
They'll use the money for programs to aid unemployed homeowners.
Some of those states have already designed such programs.
This is getting dangerously close to forgiving these loans to making this rumor that we all heard that Fannie Mae is going to forgive all of the mortgages they're underwater.
And we've had people say, nah, right, they can't they never do that.
That'd be the I mean that'd kill them politically.
They're giving away money to everybody else on their side of the aisle.
They're buying votes like no administration ever has, and it's three billion dollars that we don't have on top of 26 billion dollars that we don't have to shore up not just teachers' jobs.
Folks, what happened yesterday?
You have to understand these union people, federal, state, and local, not only do they make twice what the average private sector worker makes, they get 80 to 90% of that every year in retirement.
And that's what that 26 billion dollars was for.
That's what the bailout of General Motors was for.
That's what most of the porcupist bill has been for is to shore up all these pension plans of union supporters of Obama.
Now three billion more to provide for housing for unemployed uh homeowners.
