Time Text
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rush Limboy, your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, despair, chaos, and even the good times.
It's great to have you with us.
And it is Open Line Friday on Thursday, ladies and gentlemen, because tomorrow starts the traditional annual Hartley Open, Hartley invitational.
You have to be invited.
It's our annual guys' golf trip to Hawaii.
And we're going to be taping a couple of episodes of the Haney Project while in Hawaii next week.
First one was Sunday without Haney, with just me, the production crew, and the cameras out there, getting an idea of my golf game.
And there was some chit-chat interviewing with the off-camera producer.
And then Monday after the program went up, we went into Emerald Dunes, and Haney showed up.
He went to the range, putting green, and played three holes, all on tape.
And we'll get together with Haney on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week out on Hawaii.
This is going to be a blast.
This is going to be a hoot.
The first two was with Chuck Barkley, which everybody admits was a lost cause.
In fact, they told me, have you ever seen Barkley's golf swing?
Have you seen it, Brian?
I mean, it's, here's a guy who's a professional athlete.
It's got five hitches in the swing.
You know what a hitch in a swing is?
It's chop, chop, chop.
He's got five of them.
And Haney worked hard trying to get rid of the hitch.
And they couldn't.
In the last episode, from what I told him, heavy goes, Barkley had to get some of his buddies out there to play in the last episode to get some decent golf out there.
And Ray Romano did the second season.
And I think we start airing in January.
So we've got until now to January.
They say two to three days a month.
And there's eight episodes, a half hour each.
It's typical television.
They're going to have hours and hours and hours of videotape.
They're going to have to edit down to 30-minute segments.
Well, actually, 22, 23, because they're sponsored.
And as is the case with every show I do, they're going to end up with more than they can use.
And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they expand the season by a couple episodes or have bonus.
Particularly if I improve a lot, which I fully intend to do.
So tomorrow we got Urbanski from Los Angeles doing the program, who will be interviewing my brother David on his fabulous, great new book, Crimes Against Liberty, which I said the other day, the book came out on the 23rd, three days ago.
I'm really proud of David.
This is just a tremendous effort.
Really, really hard work, well written.
And it's not, you know, books like this can be, oh, well, they can be monotonous and they can be.
I love Friedrich Hayek, Constitutional Liberty, Road to Serfdom, but they are laborious.
I mean, you really have to get into it to read.
They're deep.
And a book like this could be, but David has made this as close to a page turner as you can get with his subject matter.
And he delves into areas that some people, most people have not put on print.
Nobody's put in print.
About the combination of Obama's character and his policies and so forth.
Yes, I'm not going to be in Hawaii the whole 10 days that I'm out.
I mean, there's the Labor Day weekend.
Hawaii is, here's what's going to happen.
We're going to leave here at, we get wheels up at 7.30.
We stop in a city I'm not going to mention to pick up some additional guys.
And then we hightail it to Hawaii.
We'll get there about noon or 12.30.
And after 11 hours on a plane, we'll head right to the golf course.
And team vodka will tee off about an hour after we land.
And then we finish, we head back to the host's house.
This is a blast.
One of these, well, I don't think this trip, but one of these dinner social things with these guys will be part of a Hanny project.
I'm thinking, you know, I host the guys in November, always the first week in November for the El Rochebo Invitational.
So, but we just have, we have an absolute blast.
But we'll be leaving.
Damn right.
Play golf every day.
Damn straight, Snerdley.
I live on the beach.
Why would I go to the beach?
Besides, no, no.
We play golf.
Team vodka.
Play golf.
Team vodka.
Allen brothers in the evening.
We have five or six massage babes.
Beach.
Well, we see the beach from where the host lives.
Great, great view.
Great, great location.
We'll be leaving for home next.
We'll play golf next Friday on the 3rd and probably depart Hawaii late in the afternoon and get home.
Probably get home at 5 in the morning on Saturday the 4th or whatever and then have the Labor Day weekend.
So no, it's all not going to be golf.
People are going to think I'm Obama.
He's out.
He got, when did he get to Martha's Vineyard?
Sunday or whatever.
He's already playing his fourth round of golf today, but he's president of the...
Yeah, I know David's book is number two on Amazon.
It was number one shortly after I told people about it.
And he's doing great on these interviews with Hannity.
He was on with our brother Levin.
He's been on with a lot of people.
And Urbanski is going to have him on this program tomorrow.
Somebody just asked me if I will have to come off the golf course for a conference call on the economy like Obama did.
That was, we mentioned this in the first hour.
The media actually, we had a montage audio soundbite.
In fact, Let's Grant, I guess number three might be number four.
Let me see if I can find it.
It's coming up very quickly here.
Yep.
Audio soundbite number three.
Last night and this morning, all these media people, they trumpet this as breaking news.
President Obama took a break from his vacation holding a conference call with his economic team.
The president took a break from his vacation to have a conference call with his economic team.
The president held a conference call from his vacation.
The president held a high-level conference call with his economic advisors.
President Obama today held a conference call with members of his economic team.
President Obama took time out of his vacation to hold a conference call with his economic team.
Imagine this.
So he had to, in other words, he's on vacation.
Damn it, he had to go to work.
How unfortunate, how unfair that our young president had to take a conference call while on vacation.
By the way, this number two, my brother's book, number two on Amazon, that's both nonfiction and fiction list.
That's not just on the nonfiction list.
So that's an we're all very proud of David.
And this is the book.
This is the, if you need one, the handbook going into the election.
This is the one to prepare you with knowledge to be able to answer any question from idiots, dorks, and nerds that you run into who may not understand what all the issues are.
So anyway, that's the rundown.
And so that's what, no, no, no.
No, this is the usual end of August, first week of September, depending on the calendar and how the dates fall, the annual guys' golf trip.
We used to do this in Spain, Ireland, Scotland, and we decided to keep it domestic and go to Hawaii.
Yeah, a couple guys are going to be on the Haney episode that we shoot on to.
Brett will be in the forsom on Tuesday.
Snirdly continuing to ask questions here.
From the New York Times new forecast shows Democrats losing six to seven Senate seats, and there's a 20% chance of losing 10 or more seats in the Senate.
I think it's going to be more than six or seven.
By the way, Lisa Murkowski, who is trailing by 1,688 votes in Alaska, has just asked for the National Republican Senatorial Committee to send a lawyer to oversee the recount and the whatever.
And they're going to do it.
And a lot of Tea Party PFs, a Tea Party candidate up there that beat Lisa Murkowski.
And a lot of, I want to prepare a lot of you in the Tea Party movement.
You're going to go, why are the Republicans going to try to sabotage?
You have to understand here, she is a ruling class Republican.
And you didn't understand why Bush would endorse Specter.
You didn't understand why the Republican Party would endorse Specter over Pat Toomey.
Politics is politics.
It is a business.
It has requirements.
And Lisa Murkowski is the Republican.
I have had so many people ask me why the Republican Party is not so embracing of the Tea Party.
And I'm glad I get the question because it's a good way to be educational informative people about what we're dealing with.
The Tea Party is about overthrowing the establishment.
The Tea Party, folks, here's the thing about the Tea Party, and this is if we're going to be consistent, and I must say this, a lot of us, and I'll include myself in this.
We elect Republicans and they head to Washington, and in one way or another, they let us down.
They join the ruling class or they fail to govern as they promised they would when they campaigned.
Their conservatism sort of fades away.
And when this happens, we always say, we're not going to vote for these people again.
We're going to vote for real conservatives.
And what this has done, the combination of the Tea Party being created and evolving, a lot of people who have no previous ties to politics and are not at all sophisticated in the world of party politics have decided that it's worth running for office and enduring the media annual exam and all of the insulting criticism they're going to get because they've heard the call.
They themselves have complained about Republicans getting into Washington and failing to govern as they had promised.
And so they said, okay, I'm going to do it.
And it's at that point that they need to be supported.
And especially because it's at that point that the establishment, including the media, starts ripping these people as neophytes, inexperienced goombas.
They have no clue what they're doing and so forth.
They try to besmirch them.
They try to make it embarrassing to publicly support these people.
And unfortunately, it works with some people who are embarrassed.
What do you think the Palin business?
You know, Palin is a great example of what I'm talking about.
They tried to embarrass as many Republicans as possible into not supporting Palin from the moment she was named the vice presidential running mate by McCain.
And it continues to this day.
Insulting her, attacking her, make it embarrassing.
And it works with people.
I can't tell you the number of Republicans who, on the one hand, complain, whine, and moan to me about all the Republican sellouts in Washington, who then start complaining that Palin doesn't have the smarts.
She doesn't have the experience.
She needs to go to policy school.
And I have lost my temper a couple of times with people in my own home because I'm listening to people complain about Democrats, complain about Obama, complain about liberals.
And they fully understand Obama is the worst thing that could have happened to America in terms of our economy, traditions, and so forth.
And then Palin's name comes up and they say, well, we can't have, she's not smart enough.
She's not bright enough.
And I look at them and I say, compared to who?
Compared to Joe Biden, compared to Harry, who's she dumber than?
Would you rather have Obama?
Oh, no, but I want somebody that can win.
Well, tell me who it is.
You tell me who Pax Arena is more than Palin does right now.
And at the time we're having these discussions last summer and after the convention and so forth and after the election, I say, who's creating more excitement among Republicans in an electoral sense than Palin is?
Well, she still embarrasses me.
Well, who the hell are you?
What do you know about the Indian subcontinent?
Well, I just don't think she knows.
How do you even know what she knows and don't know?
You're falling full prey to what media critics and the Democrats are saying about why do you want to be so easily swayed?
Why, I ask these people, and I really, a couple occasions, was shouting, why do you want to echo the very people on every other day of the week you rip people like the media, people like Democrats, as people you know you can't trust, you know they lie, why all of a sudden they start talking about Palin and now any of the other Tea Party people like Sharon Angle.
Why do you want to believe them?
So the dichotomy is people want outsiders and they want challengers and they want people who have not been part of the system.
And then when some people show up who are outsiders and not part of the system, some of our people that want that then say, well, I know they're not polished enough.
What do you mean not polished?
If we're going to fix this, it's going to have to be made up of people who have enough passion and care enough to run the gauntlet of having their personal lives exposed, running the risk of having the political establishment, both Republican and Democrat in the media, destroy them and their lives, their families and so forth, with never-ending criticism publicly.
We can't, on the one hand, sit here and ask, well, we're the good people.
How come we see more people?
She gets a new people pop up and then we start savaging them.
I'm just saying this because it ought to come as no surprise that the Republican establishments go out there and do whatever they can to protect Lisa Murkowski.
She is an incumbent.
They raise a lot of money on her behalf.
And let it open your eyes if you are among those who don't quite understand it.
If you think that party loyalty is based on issues, don't make that mistake.
It is with a lot, but not all.
I really remember getting, I got so mad I had to apologize to one guy because I literally lost it.
I'm listening to this guy who I don't think he could find the Indian subcontinent on map.
I don't think he could have found half the stuff we talk about or knew about it, but he was convinced Palin was a dolt and would be an embarrassing thing for the Republican Party, would be a guaranteed loser.
I said, well, what do you want?
You want to win with somebody you're going to end up criticizing as being unfaithful and so forth.
It's something if you really, really mean it, that you want challengers from outside the system, true outsiders, when they show up and you know what it takes, you enter the political arena and you're not a liberal Democrat.
You know that the moment you show any potential of rallying people or winning an election, they're going to come out and destroy you.
Palin's a classic example of that.
They'll always tell us who they fear.
There's nothing I said to this guy.
If they really thought Palin was the blithering idiot that they say she is, they wouldn't be worried about her.
Anyway, let me take a brief time out here, folks.
Rush Limbaugh making most of every precious broadcast second, saying more in 10 seconds than many say in a career.
Hi, welcome back.
El Rushboy, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
The ruling class in the Murkowski vote, they're going to find some missing ballots.
I don't care whether it's Republicans or Democrats.
They're going to find them already.
There are rumors of found ballots.
This is before they get to the absentees.
I'm telling you the truth.
Murkowski is refusing to go away quietly.
She's allowing her campaign to float the idea of a third party bid or a write-in candidacy if she ends up losing this.
There you go.
And a third party bid is going to do that's going to give that seat to a Democrat currently held by a Republican.
There you go.
And you might, so you say, well, doesn't she care about the party?
What do you think?
She first and foremost cares about herself.
Is she going to have an election year where there's 1,600 votes where she might lose by found ballots, election front?
What else is she going to do?
You can't build a bridge in nowhere if you're not in the Senate.
Not that she had anything to do with it.
I'm just speaking euphemistically.
So, you know, she's toying with the idea of a third party.
And if she goes third party, where do you think the Republican Party will go?
With her or with the Tea Party candidate?
You think the GOP goes with the Tea Party?
In Alaska, you think the Tea Party bit would, the Tea Party candidate would have the support of the Republican Party?
We'll see.
I don't know.
The fact that I even have to ask the question is interesting to me.
Brad in Quincy, Michigan.
What is it?
Everybody knows Quincy is in Illinois.
Snerdley finds these nothing wrong with Quincy, Michigan.
Nobody ever heard of it till Snerdley got a call from there.
Nothing.
No offense here, Brad.
I'm just mounting off.
How are you?
I'm good.
Good.
Welcome to the program.
Yes, Rush.
I just wanted to run a funny kind of thing past you, at least in my mind.
Years ago, about 33, I got hired in to the Ohio State Auditor's Office as a token Republican.
And luckily, my boss was a token Republican, so we got along pretty well.
Well, one day I was called into the office and a fellow employee was in there for disciplinary action.
So they had me come in as a witness.
And my boss, before things got so politically correct, was very direct and asked the token employee, he said, listen, John, which is not his real name, but I have to be careful.
He asked the token employee, John, we have a problem here.
You are either lazy, you're incompetent, or you're a liar.
Or D. Brad, hang on.
I got to take a break here, but don't go away.
We're going to get your call.
We come back.
I came.
Obama applied for a job or was working in Quincy, Michigan 33 years ago.
We are back to Brad in Quincy, Michigan.
So you're in there, you've got token boss, and you're the token employee, and somebody else has been calling the carpet.
Pick up the story where I had to interrupt you.
Well, anyway, my boss asked the employee, John, we have problems here.
You are either lazy, you are incompetent, you're a liar, or D, you're all three.
Now, in your opinion, would you pick A, B, C, or D on Obama, or would you, well, I guess that's the question.
Well, is he incompetent and or liar and or lazy?
Yes.
Yeah, but I mean, so are a lot of people.
I think to get to Obama, we need to go a little bit deeper.
And let me focus mostly on the lazy.
Because I think the lazy, if, for example, here he's in his sixth vacation, he really doesn't appear to work very hard, gets to the Oval Orifice at 9.30 in the morning.
Bush got in there at 7.
Reagan got in there at 7, took a nap at 7.15, got back to work at 10.
Just kidding, tweaking the left.
But Bush got in there early.
Obama is late.
He doesn't spend a lot of time in there.
I don't think it's laziness.
I think it is arrogance.
I think Obama thinks himself is above the job.
I don't think he likes the job as much as he thought he was going to like it.
I don't think he likes the White House.
I think he looks at the White House as confining.
I think one of the reasons all these vacations is he gets out of there.
He and his wife do not like living there.
To them, the White House is not a great place to honor.
It's a prison.
And a lot of presidents have felt that it's a prison.
But to them, it's like some African Americans.
The 4th of July ain't no big deal to me, yo.
Well, the White House, to a lot of African Americans, the same thing.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff that came out of there by presidents that were in there that they're not particularly happy about.
I don't think, like for me, if I were president, you couldn't get me out of the place.
And I would be, I'd be up to all hours walking through every nook and cranny to learn as much about the place as I could.
And I would have the historian escorting me to, okay, why is this room?
What happened in here?
Why are these things on the wall?
I'd want to know everything about the place.
I would want to learn such things as Lincoln bedroom is not a bedroom.
It wasn't Lincoln's.
Lincoln's bedroom is the second floor is where Lincoln's office was.
There was no West Wing.
So the president's office was on the residential floor upstairs.
And I don't even know if it was a residential floor at the time Lincoln was president.
His office was up there.
You know, I have spent the night in the Lincoln bedroom right across the hall from it.
It's the Queen's bedroom.
And there are two or three guest bedrooms.
One of the funny stories that I remember is that after my night, it was in 1992 in the summertime that I had spent the night in the White House with George H.W. Bush president, Roger Eales and I spent the night there that night.
And I got to know the usher.
They were all big fans.
And it was like a hotel room.
You could leave a wake-up call.
This is in the same floor that the president's wife lived.
It's a big floor, obviously.
But you could order coffee from quote-unquote room service.
It would be a uniformed steward that would bring it to you.
And I got to know all these people.
And when Clinton won the election, I remember Harry Thomason and his wife, Linda Bloodworth Thomason, talking about how they couldn't wait to sleep in the Lincoln's bedroom after Clinton was inaugurated.
Through channels, I reached people that I had met in the White House.
Could I leave a note that you would leave for Harry and Linda on the pillow in the Lincoln bedroom the night that they're in there?
And it happened to be inauguration weekend, I think, that they spent.
And it took a while, but a couple weeks came back, and they said, sure.
So I wrote a note, and the note said, Dear Harry and Linda, never forget this.
I was here first, and I will be back.
Signed your buddy Rush.
Put it in an envelope, and then you just wonder if it ever happens.
So not long after the immaculation, the inauguration, Harry Thomason is on C-SPAN.
He tells the story.
Yeah, so Linda and I get into the Lincoln bedroom.
It's a long night.
We get in there, and when they pull the covers back, and there's this envelope on the pillow.
So we open it up, and it's a note from Rush Limbaugh.
And I heard this, and I said, Yes, because then I knew they had seen the note.
You couldn't keep me out of the place.
I would, when it came vacation time, yeah, I might leave, go play golf or whatever, Camp David.
But Christmas time, I would be there.
What a beautiful time.
Thanksgiving, I would be there.
Easter, I would be there.
And I would invite, you know, places I usually go, I would invite friends and family there.
They would consider it an honor, too.
This bunch gets out of there as fast as they can.
And they, they, you know, another reason that I wouldn't travel on Christmas is a secret service.
Half of them wouldn't have to go and leave their families.
I mean, but that's just me.
Now, I know this is a roundabout answer, but I'm getting it.
I think Obama has spoiled.
I think for his entire life, he has been told how special he is, and he has believed it.
And I think for reasons which are very, very obvious to me, that I'm not going to spend time detailing.
I think Obama's had so many guardian angels.
This was a guy who, frankly, was never going to be allowed to fail.
That's why when I said I hope he fails, they all had their proverbial cow.
Because if Obama's at Harvard and does C or D work, he's going to get an A. There's somebody covering for him at every step of the way.
Charmed life or what have you, for whatever reason.
I know the reasons.
I'm not going to waste time explaining them.
It'd be a great media tweak, but they wouldn't get it.
So is that laziness or is it, you know, Obama, I think he wants to run the world.
This is this White House, this country is too small.
Too small for him.
As to incompetent, that's like, is he smart or dumb?
We have to define competent or incompetent.
If his purpose is to restructure the American economy from capitalism to socialism, he's pretty competent.
If he really is serious that he thinks he's got the best ideas on creating jobs, then he's incompetent.
So to answer that, we'd have to know what his real purpose is rather than just surmise.
I'm pretty sure I know what his purpose is.
Nobody who really wanted to create jobs, revive, and economy would do what he's doing and stick to it.
Now, liar, it's a Democrat.
Well, more do you need to know?
He's a liberal.
What more do you need to know?
He's a socialist.
What more do you need to know?
They lie.
By definition, they have to lie.
If Obama had told you what his plans were, he would not got 30% of the vote.
No liberal ever would.
So as usual, a question like that's not easily answerable without getting into much detail.
In fact, Jennifer Rubin, way back, I kept this because this, she wrote something that is right along the lines of what I think about Obama.
This is August 19th in commentary, The Perils of Praise.
To be blunt, Obama suffers from a lifetime of others excessively praising his intellect.
It insulates him from ideas and facts that conflict with his pre-existing liberal rubric.
So every economist believed the stimulus would work.
It leaves him unprepared to engage in real debate with informed opponents, like at the healthcare summit.
He didn't know what to do with Paul Ryan.
He had no other than to stare daggers at him.
It skews his understanding of how geopolitics works as he imagines that his own wonderfulness can sway adversaries and override nations' fundamental interests, right in the Middle East.
He really thought that his presence alone would so dazzle Mahmoud Ahmedinizad that he'd give up the nuclear program.
Really thought that.
Jennifer Rubin believes, he really believes this.
So he's delusional.
But he believes this because he's been told this.
It's like Tiger Woods' dad, if you'll recall, said that Tiger was going to be bigger than Nelson Mandela.
He was going to have a bigger impact on bringing people together.
And I'm listening to this and I say, okay, a dad's a dad and a father's a father.
There's no way Tiger Woods is going to endanger any endorsements by entering the Nelson Mandela world.
So remember Margaret Carlson, when Obama had blundered into this mosque business and at the Iftar dinner at the White House, made it clear he supports the Hamask being built there.
Well, it was time for the media to get in gear.
And Margaret Carlson said he's too smart for us.
He is so supremely confident in his intellect that he forgets on his way to the correct decision to slow down and pick up all of us not-so-gifted stragglers.
That's what she honestly believes.
And Matthew's, a lot of these people believe that he's so smart we can't keep up with him.
And I'm sure people all of his life have thought that and told him that.
So he's grown up believing it.
See, delusional.
Tiger Woods' dad said he would bring more people together than Mandelo.
And in a physical sense, it may be true.
Did you hear Tiger shot the best round of golf today?
The first day after his divorce is final or second day.
Best round of golf since the whole thing happened last Thanksgiving.
He shot a 65 today in the Barclays, which is in New Jersey.
Best round of golf occurs after the divorce with Elen is final.
What it tells me is the sports writer community is just panting, hoping that this means Tiger's back, that he wins the tournament, goes on, and makes the Writer Cup team with no controversy attached to it.
It doesn't tell me anything else.
Snerdly.
It doesn't tell me anything else.
I mean, it could be hilarious.
don't know what you'd get.
So the final analysis, I mean, one way, you got to say Obama's smart.
Sometimes you let the mosque slip down, but there's no question that the guy has intellect, but that doesn't say it all.
The common sense, street smart and so forth, no substitute for that.
Confidential information for 126,000 students and employees at six Florida community colleges were publicly available on the internet for five days, according to a state library service.
That'd be libary for those of you in Riolinda.
A spokeswoman for the College Center for Library Automation would not identify the specific information exposed other than to say it was protected by a Florida statute and did not include financial information or library records.
That means the information probably includes student names and social security numbers and driver's license information, and that's all you need to know.
This stuff was online available May 29th or June the 2nd, and that means it was available for one and all to find accidentally or on purpose on the internet.
And that means that some of these people probably had their identity stolen, and that means life has become hell for them.
Need not happen to you.
There's only one person you should ever give your social security number to, and it's Life Lock.
I alone have mine.
That's the only way to keep other people from stealing it and using it.
But they might steal it.
They might get a hold of it.
They can't use it.
The Life Lock Identity Alert System.
See, somebody swipes your Social Security number, gets credit card with it, goes to use it.
The moment that happens, the experts at Life Lock are informed.
And you get a call.
Are you trying to buy a bunch of condoms out of a machine at a shell station on Martha's Vineyard?
And you say, no, that's not me.
That's how it works.
That's how the identity alert system works, and it's the best in the business.
And they will not sell the information they get from you.
Call 800-440-4833.
It's ridiculously inexpensive anyway.
And you'll save 10% off that price on your LifeLock membership simply by mentioning the promo code RUSH at 800-440-4833.
William in Westfield, New Jersey.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Yes, it's a pleasure, Rush.
Thank you.
I'd like you to see if you could corroborate or refute something I've heard recently.
Yeah.
That presently with U.S. tax money, they're spending U.S. tax money in 55 countries to restore, refurbish, or otherwise improve minarets and mosques.
Where did you hear that?
I heard it on the Michael Savage program, and it's on his website.
That they're using my tax money to remodel, refurbish, or restore mosques and or minarets in 55 countries throughout the world.
My tax money?
You said they're using my tax money.
Everybody's tax money.
Oh, everybody's tax money.
Happens to be true.
It was reported in the Washington Times in April, our ambassador to Tanzania participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, William, to celebrate the refurbishment of a 12th century mosque, Tanzania.
The United States taxpayer provided funds to help the project all along.
And it was not just that one.
They provided financial assistance to save another mosque in Cairo.
This mosque was named after a Muslim conqueror who defeated Christians in Egypt.
So, yes.
May I make a comment also?
I got 25 seconds.
People, when they speak of Obama being Muslim, they're not speaking of his declared religious affiliation.
They're probably speaking of what's in his heart.
He's at least a sympathizer.
Every action has been positive towards any Muslim affair.
There hasn't been a neutral or a negative comment or action he's taken.
That's why people think he's a Muslim, because in his heart, he acts that way.
Okay, I appreciate the call.
That's William in Westfield, New Jersey.
And we got to take a brief time out.
Look at the time.
Time is zipping by here like I cannot believe.
By the way, our iPad winner today, the engraved Super Special Edition iPad engraved with my signature, the EIB logo on the back.
Today's winner, Patrick Kay of Athens, Ohio.
Two more engraved iPads left to give away from our Facebook site, facebook.com slash Rush Limbaugh.
And we'll have the next two winners announced next week.
