Time Text
It is I, a paying member of Rush 24-7, filling in for Rush.
It's open line Friday.
And the phone number, as you know, is 1-800-282-2882.
I've mentioned this once before that when I fill in on this show, I keep on the broadcast table in front of me a copy of Saul Olinski's Rules for Radicals.
And I do that deliberately.
I think it's a brilliant book, by the way, a demented book, but a brilliant book.
One day we'll talk more about it.
But I keep that book around deliberately, um, hoping that it will just make Saulinsky roll over in his grave that it's here on America's number one conservative, America's number one, the world's number one show.
What are we talking about here?
In a moment, we're gonna have um David Limbaugh is going to join us, the brother of Rush.
As you know, he's an accomplished writer in his own right, he's a lawyer, and uh he's written a very important book.
Now, I debate with liberals a lot in my real life and my real life profession.
I'm in Hollywood, as you know.
So I have no uh choice.
I have to encounter them.
I can't avoid them.
And one of the topics, I'll give you an example that often will come up is global warming, climate change, whatever they're calling it this month.
Every time I get into a debate with someone or a conversation, I make a very simple offer.
If you are so entrenched in your view, even though you've read nothing about it, you've only heard what Al Gore has to say, you've only heard what a few have to say.
I make the offer, I say, why don't you join me?
And together, we will follow the trail of information and research to exactly where it leads.
And let us not have a preconceived idea.
Let's just follow the research together and learn the truth of the issue.
And it's not surprising for you to learn that to date, no liberal has ever taken me up on the challenge.
And you can do this little conversation with them about almost any topic where liberalism versus conservatism.
They will not take you up on the challenge of where the facts lead.
They don't want to know the facts.
And if you end up in a factual conversation with them, what you need is what you need is David Limbaugh's book.
David Limbaugh's book reads, first off, it's a very, very, very well researched book.
There's almost a hundred pages of indexed notes that cite all of the facts referred to.
Now, just because it's a well-researched and very full of information, scholarly book, does not mean that it reads like a dense book that you should avoid.
Hardly.
It's a page turner, and you need to be armed with it.
You'll need to be armed with it going into this midterm election cycle, and you need to be armed with it henceforth forward from here.
David Limbaugh tells it like it is.
It is a must-reading for anyone if you want to have a real conversation that is full of hard, cold evidence of Obama's dangerous agenda for America.
That's what that's what the book is.
The name of it is Crimes Against Liberty.
And these enemies will be enemies of freedom at every single turn.
David Limbaugh tells it like it is.
He talks about President Obama and how he tramples the Constitution, how he mocks its founders.
He talks about him being a bully.
He talks about this president doing everything he can do to turn this once great nation into a shell of its former self.
It's a great read.
Page Turner, as I've said.
If you if you've had enough of this destructive narcissism, and you're sick to death of hearing it and watching it and living through it day by day, get this book.
It's well researched, it's footnoted, documented.
Tell your friends that don't buy just one copy, get three copies.
You will need them.
And make the challenge to your liberal friends with whom you will be getting into conversations and debates.
Say, let us follow the truth where it leads and go there together.
Ronald Reagan used to say that facts are stubborn things.
So the challenge is for anyone who reads this book and evaluates this book to examine the meticulous way, the comprehensive way that David Limbaugh documents his case.
Crimes Against Liberty.
Now it's one thing to make the charge, if you don't have facts to back them up.
But this this book, the facts that Mr. Limbaugh presents, um, They're pretty undeniable.
Pretty undeniable.
Anyway, I I'm drinking in this book and enjoying it, as is my wife and we had to go through hoops to get a copy out here.
Um David Limbaugh joins us on his brother's show with a mere guest host.
Welcome, David Limbaugh to the Russland Ball Show.
Thank you so much for that incredible introduction.
I'm indebted.
In fact, I do have to pay, and we'll just have to figure out an amount.
No, no, not true, sir.
You have paid by writing the book.
I I'm going to ask some basic questions.
I have a lot of questions for you, David, if you don't mind.
Yes, sir.
What was the first motivating factor in writing this book?
My motivation was that I have five young kids, and my parents' grandparents, your parents' grandparents, bequeathed to us a nation that was robust in liberty, proud, strongest nation in the history of the world, most prosperous, freest.
And uh we have been creeping towards socialism, but now we're in hyper speed.
And Obama is uh uh driving us over a financial cliff into bankruptcy inside of uh ten, twelve years.
Our our if we keep going at the rate we're going, our our uh national debt, our our deficit and national I mean our national debt's gonna be a hundred and four percent possibly of the GDP.
It's unsustainable.
And while I c I won't say it's irreversible because I'm an eternal optimist, we will be saddled with this and and a second tier nation for a generation if we continue.
No one can no country can continue at this reckless pace.
Not to mention the fact that we he is he is an imposed socialized medicine.
Now he will deny that and he'll sa he'll infuse it with euphemisms and say that he he's not about a single payer plan, even though he's on record as saying he's advocates it.
He might have to transition it in fifteen to twenty years.
He says the public option is not a Trojan horse for a single payer plan.
It is.
But the point is he's he's crowding out private insurance companies.
The studies that have occurred since uh he lied, cheated, and stealed to impose to cram Obamacare down our throats, and then bragged that he was acting in on behalf of the people and doing it, uh have uh revealed all kinds of cost underestimates, underestimations, manipulations of the CBO, garbage in, garbage out.
They reported that it that it actually scored neutral, deficit neutral.
Actually, they said it was a positive, and it's been an outrageous uh underestimation, and it was actually crooked in the in the way it's so we've got a systemic uh problem with with Obamacare, because even if we reverse this debt and we don't repeal Obamacare, uh that alone uh will be uh a metastatic cancer on our system.
I know people might think I'm engaging in hyperbole.
I don't think I am, because it it will affect, as Russia said so many times, all aspects of our lives.
It will allow the government to reach into all aspects of our life, not mention not to mention that it will do radically decrease the quality of our health care as it has in every other nation that has tried it.
And it will also, notwithstanding what the libs say, uh allow will uh lead to rationing and it will lead to decisions, end of life decisions being made by government.
It's inevitable, it happens because it has to happen.
Oh no, the the use of the phrase death panels uh it ends up being quite accurate, and there's story after story already coming out about this with the breast cancer drugs and all the rest of it.
David, a lot of us knew about Barack Obama, and certainly your brother talked about him in the weeks and months, in fact the year leading up to the election.
And a lot of us are not surprised.
I remember election night very clearly when Barack Obama accepted his calling, and he said um he wanted to fulfill the American dream for all Americans.
And I said to my wife, I'd like to know what the heck this guy's idea of the American dream is, because I have a hunch it's different from mine.
Why are the media and uh in large part, why were the public fool along on this whole story?
Well, he had this uh the the media was portraying him as a messianic figure.
Obama was portraying himself as a messianic figure.
He he presented himself as a uniter, post partisan, post-racial, post-grievance, conciliator, and a guy who would usher in a new kind of politics.
I mean, all those statements are almost attributable to him directly.
And he was anything but.
He has become the most divisive president in history.
He polarizes so much that he doesn't bring – he's not bipartisan.
In fact, he's hyper-partisan.
Peter Beinert said that for a while he's a liberal writer, an intellectually honest liberal writer.
Excuse the oxymoron, but it's true.
He's an intellectually honest liberal writer.
And he said for a while there was some ambiguity between whether Obama would be a Howard Dean or a Joe Lieberman.
Would he be a moderate or a radical extremist?
after he slammed health care through against the will of the people henceforth he would be known as a super jumbo Democrat.
You know you know David I never refer to it as health care.
I'm gonna keep referring to it as Obamacare.
Me too usually I I've just I've made the dedication of ver to continually refer to him as the as the unpopular and controversial Barack Obama and I'm gonna keep putting all the words that they love to do when it's our side we're going to put them all quite accurately with him.
Does it not make you long for the good old days of triangulation.
Well yeah and I and I I've mentioned this you know Clinton was a narcissist to be sure in the sense that he wanted to be adored and loved uh by the people and but he mainly uh would subordinate his ideology as as strongly as he believed in it.
He would subordinate his ideology because he liked being popular he liked being popular and he wanted to be re-elected Barack Obama has grandiose visions.
You know true narcissist has uh has uh uh visions of grandeur Obama thinks he can subside cause the seas to subside he can br he's the one we've been waiting for he can bring fundamental change uh to America and that means radical change from a a capitalist system to a a stasis statist socialist and I actually think the guy's a Marxist because we're talking radical redistribution I was warned don't you know over the past several years don't use the word Marxist,
don't use the My goodness the words apply, don't they?
I mean they completely apply he he has he has this uh dogged uh blind faith in Keynesian uh redistributed re redistributionist uh economic theory he thinks he can continue to to prime the pump with borrowed money and cause there to be a multiple well he talks about he talks about economic justice I'm waiting for an example of exactly what economic injustice is I have not yet seen that well economic justice is a euphemism for judicially active courts to redistribute wealth.
David you know I have to mind the shop here for a few moments.
Do you know that?
Do you mind staying with us?
I'd love to keep you as long as possible because the aim here is to have as many people uh have as many books that they can give as gifts as possible.
So it's Dorbanski filling it for Rush we'll be right back.
It's the Rush Limbaugh show Rush Limbaugh is not here but we do have David Limbaugh with us and I'm going to try and persuade David to stay with us after the break at the bottom of the hour and maybe take some calls from you.
The phone number is 1-800-282-2882 if you want to get in line.
Top experts are waiting to field your calls for David.
David, if we do manage to convince you to stay, your chapters in this book are laid out in the most dramatic and simple to follow and very inflammatory way even.
You have a chapter here called The Liar, Crimes Against Good Governance.
You have a chapter here called The Dictator, The Bully.
what was in your mind when you wrote these chapters?
I think the words are accurately used, but I'd like to know what was in your mind.
What was in my mind is that we've been candy-coating his character and his nature throughout the last 19 months.
At least the mainstream media has.
Rush hasn't.
Hannity and Levin haven't.
But, I mean, this guy is not what he held himself out to be.
It's important to understand how dishonest he was.
I mean, I could go through the litany just real quickly.
He lied about his transparency, lobbyists, earmarks, the $250,000 tax increase.
wouldn't increase taxes on families of four making two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or less uh on down the line he's he's been he's lied on on essential issues he's he's been a bully now let me tell you on this on this bully thing can you imagine how unpresidential it is and he does this every time he's got a big ticket agenda item he calls bankers fat cat bankers that is that is so pedestrian juvenile street thuggish it's unbecoming of a President,
uh he says insurance companies are making obscene profits when they are making mainstream profits.
If you look at the evidence, they're not even uh on the in the top ten, they're not in the top twenty of profits at the time he said it.
Uh and when I when I say dictator, I mean he acts outside the rule of law, outside the Constitution.
Let me just give you a few quick examples that are so outrageous that it'll make your blood boil.
When he pledged 140 billion dollars to the Interna International Monetary Fund uh for redistribution to third world countries.
We're talking about glorified aid.
It's bad enough that he r radically redi de red redistributes wealth in the United States, but to give it to third world countries with no constitutional authority as chief executive to do it, and on top of that, the Congress has expressly prohibited him from doing it without their authority.
He snubbed his nose at him, did it anyway.
When he was challenged on it, he says, I have pl uh nearly plenary authority over foreign policy matters, which is completely Orwellian because this is a matter of foreign aid, not foreign I mean, yeah, foreign aid and not foreign policy.
It's not about diplomacy or international revolution.
And it was Ronald Reagan, would there be an investigation?
Oh, without question.
But how about this, Doug?
When Senator Kyle sent a gentle letter to him suggesting that the some the stimulus money that had been spent heretofore had not stimulated anything.
So please consider uh invoking a freeze, imposing a freeze on the remainder of the stimulus money.
And Obama then we don't know he did it, but four of his cabinet members, this is all coincidence, sent separate letters simultaneously virtually to Kyle threatening threatening to withhold Arizona's portion of the stimulus money.
Now can you imagine a president who doesn't have the authority to be allocating this money in the first place, saying he's gonna withhold the the portion of a state as if he has the authority to do as as if his it's his money, just because Senator Kyle raised a reasonable question and made a reasonable suggestion, he did it the same thing to California.
But David, David, at least he had his cabinet members who we know who they are write these letters.
At least they didn't come from the Tsars.
No, no, no, and and that's exactly right.
There's a measure, a pinch of accountability in theory, because it didn't happen in fact, in California, uh California trying to tighten its belt, amazingly, cut uh millions of dollars out of one of its uh programs for the elderly, uh elderly, disabled or whatever, and Obama didn't like it because some of his union buddy employees were gonna be cut out if some of this program.
So he threatened to withhold billions of dollars because Democratic Senator uh legislators in California were trying to cut their belts.
I mean, this guy is tyrannical.
He he summons people up to the White House.
David, you don't want to get me started on uh legislators here in California, though.
No, I know, I know.
But that shows you how far he'll go.
He's to the left of these guys.
Let me ask you something, because you've looked into this very deeply from a number of points of view.
Does it not bother him how unpopular he is?
Thank you for asking that, because uh I think that he's willing to sacrifice his second term if he can affect transformational change uh in the process.
You see, David, I think he may be willing to sacrifice his third term.
Well, he you know, he's got he seriously uh is willing uh to to sacrifice himself politically if he sees himself having a short window within which to get anything done.
He obviously has to know, as tone deaf as he is, that the people did not ultimately support what he did uh with Obamacare, even though as well, but he walks through it, David, with a sort of numb a smile.
I I I I I I would be mortified to be that unpopular.
I may I may experience that myself at the end of another hour here, but but how does someone do that?
No, he he's uh he's a mixture between oblivious and tyrannical, because on the one hand I think he's tone deaf, on the other hand, I think he's Machiavelli, and I actually think he's both.
Because after he finished uh cramming health care through, he said, I'm gonna continue to fight for the American people.
This was a triumph for the American What what portion, what small fragment of the population does he s uh figure constitutes the American people?
No, the part in his mind that knows best.
Yeah, there you go.
And uh, you know what we need to do is buck up and fight him and quit being feckless as conservatives and saying we've got to pick and choose our battles because we only have so much.
I'm struck by this very I'm struck by this concept, David.
That conservatives keep talking about political capital.
They seem to have uh so-called conservatives, Republicans, they seem to have an exact opposite understanding of what political capital is and how they should use it.
That's exactly right, because if you're doing the right thing for the the national interest, you don't you're not on borrowed time, you're not on borrowed capital, you're doing the right thing.
So that if I properly oppose Obamacare, I should not only be expending capital but enhancing my position and and operating on that momentum, taking that momentum to fight tooth and nail on cap and trade or or amnesty or whatever other atrocities he's trying to to impose on the on the American public.
Ladies and gentlemen, the guest is David Limbaugh.
He's going to stay with us, I hope, after this break and take your calls at 1 800 282 2882.
The book is called Crimes Against Liberty.
You must go on Amazon and get it.
It is a must read for the election season and buy some of his gifts as well.
Be right back.
We're talking with David Limbaugh.
It's the Russian ball show.
Your calls are welcome.
David is going to take calls from you in a moment.
1 800 282 2882 is the number to call in on.
David, um have you ever come across this phrase?
I came across it recently, uh, an old Fabian socialist phrase where instead of calling something profit, they called it the overcharge.
Um no, but I've heard of surplus value in Marxian.
Yeah, well, there you are.
The overcharge.
I love that, because these people have the idea you mentioned a few moments ago big corporations and fat cats and he declares war on them.
Yeah.
I I think we can't really drop the ball on our side at all by explaining to people that corporations are a legal construct of people.
People who have people's money, employees' money, dividend money.
They are these these are false ideas.
These things don't exist other than on a piece of paper as a construct.
Nor nor that's well said, nor do any utopian schemes ever work.
Have they ever worked in the history of the world?
Or have they ever worked in America?
And we've been sprinkled with those kind of uh projects throughout American history.
So David answered me this question.
Yes, if you and I know that those things don't work, and I'm a mere guest host, if we know that those things don't work, what is in the brains of the people who believe that they do?
Well, I think they have this undying uh faith in the human condition.
Uh I think the Judeo-Christian worldview recognizes uh uh uh a different w um fallen nature of man and that we cannot uh we're not on a linear path to enlightenment and we're not going to be made perfect by the agency of government.
Uh man is uh man left to his own devices, uh will be creative, entrepreneurial, uh will create profits, and finally America, our framers who are students of history, uh and and students of politics and government finally devised a system that would keep government in check.
They would make they would create a government, establish a government powerful enough to allow it to be uh protected from other uh external and internal threats, but at the same time would put the government in check with a system of separation of powers, federalism, and checks and balances, and it would maximize our freedoms.
These libs don't understand that that freedom is necessary.
They don't understand that the connection between uh Well, this this may seem this may seem a very odd uh comment that I'm about to make.
Yeah.
But this is one of the reasons I believe that they desperately want to remove always God from the conversation.
Because if you don't have man answerable to man under their construct, their entire construct crumbles.
No, that's exactly right.
But but but we never when you when you redistribute wealth on the grand scale that they do, you you destroy wealth.
You destroy any incentive to create.
And all the experience in in the in human history shows that when these kind of plans are put into place, you have no productivity, you have a shrinkage of the pie, everyone gets less.
And we know Obama is a faithful believer in this because when he Charlie Gibson asked him the question about capital gains tax increases, why he would be in favor of increasing capital gains tax rates when history shows invariably that it reduces revenues overall.
And he said, Charlie, it's a matter of fairness.
So his idea of fairness is spreading the misery, as Rush often says.
Spreading the misery just in order to punish the Well, in order to have this in order to have this view of fairness, you must also bring to the table a an idea that you are somehow superior in your ability to see these things and to implement them.
Yeah, and yet there is a blind uh faith and inability to recognize empirical data that demonstrates your your policies or failures.
So that when he has this stimulus package that manifestly fails and far falls short of his promised uh not uh to increase unemployment by more than eight percent, and we're hovering between nine and ten, he says, Oh, I underestimated the crisis.
Well, he have we have him on the record overestimating.
Or worse yet, they say it's going the right direction.
Well, that's that's so delusional.
Now that we really do need a psychiatrist to analyze that one.
Um would you like to take some calls, David?
Absolutely, my pleasure.
We're going to take a call from Dwayne.
Dwayne, you're on with David Limbaugh with your questions, sir.
Yes.
Uh Mr. Limbaugh.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
I've always wondered is uh President Obama the first president not to be awed by the office.
You know, that's an interesting question.
Um I don't know if he's the first one, and I don't know that that matters.
I think he definitely uh thinks the office ought to be awed by him.
And I mean it.
I think the guy has a God complex, and I think that's uh that pretends very badly for the nation, and I think it's playing out.
I mean, the guy thinks he he was serious when he talked about subsiding the ocean levels.
So uh yeah, I I don't think he has any reverence for the presidency of the United States nor his powers under the Constitution, and we've seen it time and I could go through another litany, but you don't want to hear me just reciting facts.
You could be nice if you'd get the book if you uh if I may humbly say, and there's more than I can state in a short period of time.
Thank you, Duane, for calling Bob in Western New York.
Welcome to the Rush Limbo Show.
You're on with David Limbaugh.
Thank you, Doc and David, for taking my call.
I'm grateful to be on the call.
I was uh David, curious to uh get your thoughts on uh the bill that uh Joe Lieberman is has introduced in June of this year regarding protecting cyberspace as a national asset act of two thousand ten, which uh really starts a new committee on cyberspace policy,
uh cyberspace security, and it does talk about in a national cyber emergency, in general, the president would be able to declare you know some type of cyber emergency.
And you know, I think about you know just the catastrophe in the Gulf where some you know it a rig blew up which was terrible, but you know, each rig was you know, every rig now has been shut down.
And I I I know that some of our national secrets with uh and Bob, your your question specifically is what?
What what are your thoughts with regard to uh that uh bill being sponsored by uh Mr. Lieberman protecting cyberspace as well national.
I I I don't know the particulars of the bill, but uh I do think there's civil liberties dangers.
I'm all for beefing up national security and Lieberman, the one issue he's been good on is national security.
But I am I am concerned about liberals and their their uh their chopping at the bit to regulate the internet.
We talk about net neutrality rules.
Uh there they want to regulate content.
We have we have just confirmed a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who believes philosophically that it's okay to skew speech.
No, no.
She said to she she said to unskew it.
To unscue speech, unskew it.
Yes, I love I love the word that what to unskew it, unbelievable.
In other words, if there's too much conservative talk, if there's too much uh uh opinions that we don't like, we're just gonna intervene with government for the higher good.
Cass Sunstein, the regulatory czar, believes that there should be const cognitive infiltration that the government ought to proactively monitor websites and deceitfully uh pretend to be uh just casual citizens as they advocate politically.
We've got a blog squad in the Justice Department on the public dime, uh going around surfing websites and posting comments supportive of Obama's agenda.
I mean, these people are tyrannical and and they're manipulative.
And and uh I I if people if this were if this if this were the Bush White House, we would have a nuclear war domestically here.
Well, we we we we almost did, if you remember about the uh about the Bush White House and the secrets and the Patriot Act and the financial disclosures in the New York Times.
They didn't like any secrets then, they seem to love them now.
No, and that and and now they've they've raised Kane because we've got these these new this new rating system, which is more accurate, but it reflects that talk show uh conservative talk shows are getting higher ratings than then your manual system which could be manipulated before so now they're having a diversity uh investigation about it I mean you just these people will not allow the system any system to work they will intimidate voters uh in in in Philadelphia and then when the civil rights division of the Justice Department investigates
and wins by default a clear cut case of voter intimidation the Obama administration dismisses the case uh because of what an insider of the Justice Department said basically and I don't want to quote him uh verbatim but he said basically there there is now an unwritten policy in the Justice Department that whites cannot be victims of black civil rights abuses and voter intimidation we have a race conscious administration instead of a colorblind administration in the name of being post racial.
I mean there's so many things going on that are corrupt and and and they're so hostile to what you and I understand Doug tradition of of freedom.
David again stay with us for the the next segment take some calls because we can we can wrap it up and also we want to we want to excite you folks about this book.
It's a page turner and I was up very late looking at this book and very early this morning as well I only just got my copy had a hard time finding it in California I was disturbed to say but um they said they would special order it.
You must go to Amazon and get it anyway if you can't find it in your local bookstore uh Doug Ramanski filling it for Russia will be right back.
It's the Rush Limbaugh show today Rush Limbaugh takes the second biggest risk in broadcasting by allowing me to be here and interview his brother we are talking to David Limbaugh and David I'm a very um you know I don't have the same responsibilities that the President of the United States has but I would sure like to have the amount of free time he has.
Yes.
Wouldn't you?
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of surprising as much as the Bush haters went after Bush for recreating.
And Obama just seems to be oblivious, like what me worry, the Alfred E. Newman guy out of Mad Magazine.
As Obamacare was going through the final throws of Obamacare, which Obama cared about with his life, and yet he was gallivanting about just in foreign countries and not worrying.
Finally, he had to come back.
They dragged him back.
But he seems to be oblivious, and yet...
let's not uh s uh mistakenly think that's because he doesn't care deeply about getting these things passed.
But he's a big policy guy he doesn't want to be bothered with the details he really doesn't he just wants to order that it be done dictate that it be done and then yell at people inside his administration and out in the process make uh demonizing pe people, bullying them uh and and forcing his way his will against the will of the American people.
Let's take some calls quickly before we have to go there David Ray in San Francisco would like uh has a question for you.
Ray, welcome to the show.
Yes David uh thank you for your work and thank you uh for the work that your brother does you guys are nothing less than a national treasure.
Um Dennis Miller had a line that says uh that Obama seems to have a war room for everything except for war and that leads to my question which is uh doesn't he operate he seems to operate on issues that have nothing to do with the president more like a city councilman or even an acorn lawyer rather than the president of the United States.
Yeah, I mean, he didn't want to be bothered with foreign policy, and he was uncomfortable.
He actually wants to wish away this war.
I think he thinks that we provoked al-Qaeda into attacking us.
Why else would he go around apologizing to the entire Muslim world for all the sins we've committed, when, by the way, we are all claiming, and George Bush always said, Islam is a peaceful religion.
It's only al-Qaeda, it's only the terrorists and the terrorists-sponsing regimes that we are going after, and yet Obama thinks that we've got to go apologize to the entire Muslim world, even though we've liberated other peoples, including Muslims, in our history, even though we've taken over, we've defeated other nations in war, and instead of subjugating them, paid them to rebuild themselves.
But I think Obama does do these Meals on Wheels things, these kind of projects, that don't merit the attention of a chief executive.
I couldn't agree more.
you for the call sir Joe in Detroit welcome to the Rush Limbaugh show I'm Did oh on the last caller with uh David's book and research and also Rush Limbaugh his brother for being national treasure did all my question Well I sir I am not qualified to accept a ditto for this show but I think David might be and I will accept it.
Yes the question is is this was Michelle's trip uh to Spain was that government sponsored or her own monies?
And I doubt that.
So why why not the transparency there in the monies?
And how come this question hasn't been raised?
Either show it was your personal money or show it with government money.
Which was it?
Well, you know, I uh the there's sir there's some uh disagreement about that.
They claim they spent a lot of their personal money, they reimburse and they they f put the bill for the personal stuff.
But David, isn't this less about money than it is about choices?
And arrogance.
But what I was gonna say is this whole issue doesn't interest me except as as a as a matter of some slight interest.
But I think we've got grave matters going on here.
Uh and and what I was talking about in the book, and this is no disrespect to the caller, but this is the kind of thing that that might be in uh people magazine or something about oh uh Michelle Obama going and arrogantly spending money, the people's money and all that kind of thing.
I'm more concerned with things like Obama having his health and human secretary uh services secretary summoning insurance executives to the White House with no authority at all and demanding they justify their rate increases or hit the.
And is is there a between the lines threat?
What is what is that?
How does that work?
Well, what about the shakedown with uh BP?
What about we all watched it, but what is the implicit uh threat here?
When Eric Holder's in the room with the BP executives, and and uh he's he's trying to extract money from them and not even giving them due process and declaring their liability, their absolute liability, after, by the way, they had already accepted responsibility.
We think that the BP folks might have been better off if they had the alleged coal bomber with them, yes?
But he yes, but he always finds a way to get the.
That's right, but he always gets has these people that he's attacking come under his wing and support him, whether it's badgering doctors, and then the the the AMA then supports him, or or badgering uh the the financial companies who then underwrite his bill.
It's so counterintuitive, you gotta wonder what kind of things he's threatening these people with uh under the table or overtly.
But I mean, this is thug government we're talking about.
I know people are gonna think I'm talking in helium voice and I'm No, no, there's a hundred pages or more here of notes and footnotes and annotation.
You don't need to bore yourself with them, but if you if you want to know the facts, and if someone wants to join someone else on the road to knowing the facts, it's all here in the book.
David, d David, you know I've got a scoot, don't you?
Yes, sir.
I'm gonna have some more remarks about this book uh when we come back.
David, thank you so much for taking all of this time here on your brother's show with a mere guest host.
But um it's a very wonderful and important book.
You are great, and I was listening to you before I came on.
You are quite the guest host, so thanks for having me on.
Oh boy, that's I I instruct everyone to lower expectations at this point.
Thank you so much, David.
We'll see you again one of these days soon, okay?
Thank you, sir.
It's Doug Ransky filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
I'll be right back after this.
Now you know how good David Limbaugh's book is uh by the fact that the left are calling it pure slanderous trash.
And the more they call it trash, the more you know how superb it is.
This is their tactic.
As you know, he uses documentation, he uses superb research, and you know, if you are a liberal and you claim to be open-minded and you claim to want to know where the facts will lead you, at the very least, you've got to read David's book and say, well, it's well researched, and the facts are uh stubborn things.
They do not lie.
It's excellent, well researched, based in true with honesty.
The book is a warning, of course, to the people about this very corrupt regime, as Rush calls them.
He uses the word accurately.
The first American president to truly get in trouble when I say this.
Uh one wonders if he truly hates America.
And he has an agenda based upon the destruction of America.
It's either that, it's either that, or he's simply not smart, or he's cunning or wise.
The answer to the whole debate is facts.
Facts.
And that's what David Lambo presents.
And the and as Ronald Reagan said, facts are stubborn things.
Um it's no secret, obviously the limbow's of the other end of the ideological spectrum, so am I. But we like the debate and we like where the facts will lead us.
We do not get caught up on controlling of speech as this side is very interested in doing.
What is it?
By the way, in the next hour, we're gonna talk about the war on luxury.
We're going to talk a little bit about Charlie uh Wrangle, and uh, we're gonna have some fun with it.
It's Douglas Urbanski.
It's one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.
It's open lines Friday, and uh we'll be back after this.
We'll be right back after this.
Uh and thank you, David Limbaugh for taking the hour with us, by the way.
great honor to go through the entire to go through the entire better part of the hour with David Limbaugh.
I think we could talk to him for about two hours, or three if necessary.
The book is fabulous.
Do you see how he's broken it down into chapters?
