Time Text
It is true, paying member to Rush 24-7 Dugabanski is here while Russia's vacationing, getting ready for the marathon leading up to the election in November.
Rush will become when he comes back, he'll be arrested, he'll be tanned, and he'll be ready to lead us through all of the drama that will ensue as we get into this crucially critically important election season.
The phone number, if you'd like to be a part of the show, is 1-800-282-2882.
And it is open line Friday, as you know.
Um, things are looking so good in this country, I can barely contain my uh my joyless joy, my cheerless cheer, my hopeless hope.
Yeah, this is the attitude.
It's all conflictory, everything that comes from this administration.
People lose their jobs and they tell us things are very, very good.
They tell us we have this thing called a job less recovery, and I am not smart enough to be able to understand what that means.
Obviously, that's something that only intellectuals can understand.
Of course, Lenin did say it.
He said a lie told often enough becomes the truth.
William James said there's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people won't believe us.
And that's what it seems like we've got going on here.
Um, Charlie Wrangle, as you know, has been in the news.
Charlie Wrangle made a remark uh well, he he criticized Obama because the wildly unpopular and uh embattled president Barack Obama made a remark uh about Charlie Wrangle, and he said um he said that Wrangle should retire with dignity.
And Charlie Wrangle shot back last week.
He said the president hasn't been around long enough to determine what my dignity is.
I mean, when you're tempted to find yourself attracted to the words term limits, uh Wrangle becomes a pretty good uh pretty good argument for the case.
Now look, I'm in the entertainment business, so I'm all for certain aspects of Charlie Wrangell and uh Maxine Waters.
Do not misunderstand me.
The entertainment value is sensational, but it's not sensational when it comes to the destruction of my country.
That's what makes me quite angry.
So Wrangle has um today backtracked.
Today he says that he and Obama are best friends, and he's backed off of his criticism of the president.
The president was in Miami, as you may know recently, last week in Miami Beach.
He ate at a delicatessen, I'm not gonna say the name of it.
Um, but the the the deli where he ate, and I'll let you draw your own conclusions about this.
The deli where Obama ate has apparently been cited for sanitation violations.
I don't think it doesn't really require much more.
The Delhi where Obama ate was cited for sanitation violations.
I'm not gonna even not get to discuss it.
All right.
Four, oh, I just want to tell you one other thing.
Uh Jimmy Carter.
I began the show talking about him, and I told you earlier, if you were paying attention to the plot, that 30 years ago, for the past 30 years, many of us believed that Jimmy Carter was the was going to be the worst president in our lifetime.
And of course, I leave it to you to finish the rest of the sentence.
But I made the point that he had just gone to North Korea.
He has released some American who has been held there.
How do these people get held in these countries?
How does that happen?
They they cross the border from where, though?
Where?
How do they get in and why are they held?
And what are they doing there in this first place?
Something very strange.
Anyway, Jimmy Carter, looking for his photo op with Kim Jong-il.
He managed to do what Jimmy Carter has consistently done for his entire career.
He went to North Korea on the day that Kim Jong-il wasn't there.
He didn't get the photo op, the cup of tea, the picture in those strange chairs.
He didn't get any of that stuff.
Only Jimmy Carter could bungle look, Kim Jong-il doesn't travel.
He's there all the time.
Only Jimmy Carter could bungle this.
It's anyway.
Uh someone made the remark to me, and I seconded.
There he was.
Jimmy Carter in North Korea.
And they could have kept him.
And it didn't happen.
I covered the Delhi story, didn't I?
All right.
Ford motor cars.
Buried in the LA Times, buried.
A story that should have been should have been front page news, but it does not fit the plot.
It does not fit the narrative about the Obama administration.
Ford, buried in page B two of the LA Times, barely meriting a few column inches.
Massive story.
Ford earnings climbed 13% in the second quarter.
The automaker's $2.6 billion profit beats Wall Street's expectations.
The results, Ford's best in six years, beat Wall Street's expectations and marked the automaker's fifth consecutive profitable quarter.
Hmm.
What are they doing different at Ford?
Why are people buying Fords?
I make an awfully good product, that I know.
I bought my son one.
The article says Ford, which did not file for bankruptcy protection, or receive federal bailout like General Motors and Chrysler.
Do we think in that sentence is contained an element, an aspect of the reason they're doing well?
Is the public rejecting Obama motors?
Is the public objecting to Obama government run motors?
Here's a comment from an analyst.
The not taking government money may have worked in the company's favor, says Michelle Krebs, who's a senior analyst for the auto website Edmonds.
She says Ford got an image boost among consumers by not taking a bailout.
That's buried, you know, all the way down to the tenth paragraph here.
Ford got an image boost by not taking a bailout.
She said many skeptics thought the debt would overwhelm them, but their vehicles are selling quite well.
Now here's the point.
It is a marketing tool.
It is a pro sales marketing tool for the public to be aware that you do not have Obama money in your company.
Do you understand how how profound this is?
It is a marketing tool.
People will buy your product if they know that Obama Obama's got his his fingers out of it.
If he's got his beak out of it, they'll buy your cars.
Amazing stuff.
In um, well, Bloomberg, Bloomberg, let's see here, Bloomberg, you know, he's so rich.
I don't know, uh he has a war on luxury going on.
This is a man who uh shelled out a hundred and two million of his personal money last time he ran for mayor in New York.
We've seen all the massive money that Harry Reid is spending in Nevada.
And we know of the enormous amount that John McCain just spent in the primary in Arizona.
Apparently he spent more on the primary in Arizona of this one primary than he has spent in all of his election campaigns ever added together.
And Rush has made the point.
I copy him, as is my right as guest host for the moment.
He made the point, isn't it nice that the money is out of politics, which is clearly as much in politics as ever.
Finland.
Finland would like to teach the United States about uh luxury.
They would like us to know that they have a more luxurious, luxurious lifestyle than we have here.
And they want us to also know how they criticize, how they criticize our lifestyle.
Um they live in cabins in the woods.
They love relaxing, they they have different sort of relaxing that has nothing to do with products, and they're very big on shouting about that.
They don't like the quest to acquire products, the critical of our interest in products.
They don't want the material trappings of success.
They feel that the pleasures of time and solitude are more precious.
Here's a guy's quoted he says, When I talk to my friends in North America, and they tell me about the latest toys they bought, here I am just puttering away at my little house like a fin, And that's about it.
Life is slower, and I like that.
Americans in Finland shared similar sentiments, but they weren't naive about the place.
There was a reason they weren't buying latest toys.
I'll never become rich in Finland, said one America.
The taxes are just too high.
But for him, for this American, it was a trade-off worth making.
Great health care, he says, basically free.
That's the first lie.
There's no such thing as free.
You're paying for it.
It's high taxes.
And you got no choice.
My kids get a great education free.
It's also not free.
By the way, that includes college free.
It's also not free.
Here's a guy who says he spent more time in Helsinki.
And the more time he spent there, the more his notion of the luxuries available in Finland expanded to include more than just quiet pleasures of cabin getaway.
But he liked the fact that Finnish cities are filled with universally well maintained schools, buses, trains, hospitals, and parks.
Most Finns might never be able to own a well appointed SUV or a big house, but they value less tangible assets that they do have, which add up to peace of mind and quality of life.
This is the homogenizing, pasteurizing, psychoanalyzing, and hypnotizing of you to relax.
Do not this is in theme with Obama's desires.
Do not crave those beautiful expensive items.
Don't work hard for them.
And by the way, enrich the government, the only one in the whole story who has the act of violent power to confiscate your earnings from you.
As it does.
Finland doesn't pay lip service to providing a level playing field for all of its citizens.
It really does give the vast majority of its citizens a fair and equal chance in life.
In a way that the U.S. just doesn't, we are told.
No matter how much Americans like to think it does.
This is a writer in Finland, of course, talking in the Christian Science Monitor.
Finland has its downsides, of course.
The Finns that were interviewed described high rates of get this.
These happy Finns have very high rates of depression and alcoholism.
And they admit that many Finns suffer from low self-esteem.
Mm-hmm.
That's what the life without luxury seems to get you.
It's Doug Bansky filling in for Rush on Open Line Friday, 1800, 2822882 will be right there.
It's Douglas Rabansky filling in for Rush Limbaugh 282.
1800 2822882 is the number.
You can also go to Rush Limbaugh.com, Rush 24 7.
You can become a member as I am, a paying member.
And it's worth every every bit of it.
You got to go there and see the hilarious graphics, all of the archives, all of Russia's great monologues, all of his tremendous analysis.
It's all there on Rush 24 7.
I'll get to your calls in a moment.
I see a lot of you have been holding, and I don't want to be neglectful.
Economic growth has slowed to 1.6% in the spring.
That's just come out in the Washington Post today.
Rush predicted this, by the way, if you've been following the plot.
Washington boasts, the economy grew at a much slower pace this spring than previously estimated, mostly due to the largest surge in imports in 26 years, and a slowdown in companies restocking of goods.
The nation's gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy's output grew at 1.6% annual rate.
That's down from an initial estimate of 2.4% last month and a much slower than the first quarter's 3.7.
So there's a i there's a sort of disaster happening.
Ethan Harris, who's an economist at the Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, said this.
He said we seem to be in the early stages of what might be called a growth recession.
A growth recession.
You know, I I'm going to leave that to smarter people to figure out does that mean that the recession is growing?
That's the only logic that I can come up with.
The recession is getting bigger.
Not that we're what's a growth recession.
These people have to invent language, don't they, just to just to get us through it all.
Let's go to Long Beach, California, my home state, California.
John, welcome to the Limbaugh Show.
It's Douglas Rabansky, guest host filling in.
Thanks for having me.
Uh your call screener is a great guy, by the way.
I wanted to um mention I'm a Democrat, I'm a journalist Democrat.
And I once interview interviewed Russ.
The guy told me this to tell you guys that back in 1992 when he was emerging and he was he came to Long Beach and uh are you still a Democrat, sir after all this?
I am here's here's the situation.
Even after you've met the great one in person, you remain a Democrat.
I know he didn't he didn't convert me, but uh but uh I'm a I'm a West Virginia Democrat, God I'm a I'm a conservative Democrat fiscally and all are you an Obama Democrat?
No, I'm not.
I I don't I can't I did not want Obama and I told all my why why not just switch over the name?
Uh huh.
Why not just switch over?
If I'll tell you what, if he runs obviously he's gonna run.
If uh I I hope he doesn't get re elected, so I would switch over, I think.
I have voted for Republicans in the past, but I'm a registered Democrat.
But what I wanted to say is what bothers me about Obama, because I know you you you have other people waiting, is to me he was always all sizzle and no stake.
And when a guy runs on change just for change's sake, and I would I would say this uh a Republican too.
I always get worried because the change can be worse than the uh the cure can be worse than the disease.
And I just didn't think that the guy was he was speaking in glittering generalities and I'm not sure.
But you know, John, throughout history, change is the thing that that scoundrels have often run on.
You're aware of that.
Exactly.
And and now he's gotta fight people that would say, Well, we changed and now we need to change again, and he's gonna try to convince people not to.
But my thing about Obama more than anything else is he's an ideologue.
I didn't like the fact he went to that church for twenty years and then denied that he that you know he does all these things about right, and I just knew there was gonna we only had two choices because the Democrat was gonna win basically because Bush was so unpopular and I would have won.
Well, but Bush wasn't running, John.
You'd like to do that.
I know what I'm saying.
What I mean is but th because of the situation left, the Democrat probably was going to win in two thousand and eight, and I wanted I wanted Clinton more than him.
The thing that really put me over the top though was after he got elected.
But you're over the top in which way?
Oh, yeah, okay.
Uh was when he went to because I I believe in uh Tib O'Neill's doctrine, you know, politics stop at the water's edge, you know.
At least at least you knew that O'Neill was a patriot and all that that is no, I think.
That is no longer.
Okay, but you can I'm just saying that doctrine, John, is no longer in effect, is it?
Uh no, it isn't.
But here's the thing.
He he goes around apologizing for us, and we don't have to apologize to anybody.
I never felt that way.
And when he went to when he but put me over the top is when he went to Venezuelan.
And and the way he he uh deferred and acted when he talked to Hugo Chavez who would do anything to hurt us, and he kind of bowed when he when he shook his hand, that put me over the top with him.
Because I don't I don't think I I think that he's bad for us on the foreign policy.
I don't think people's lots of different reasons why people are put over the top, and that was yours, I suppose.
There were no ideological uh differences though.
Well, I have ideological differences with him as well.
But it took but it took Venezuela to push you.
Well that that's just the one thing that that you know peed me oh, you know.
But I'm just saying that that I I think with with Obama, uh like I said, it's uh you know, w what he when he when he talked about change and how he's a change for something, and really what he was talking about was a was a democratic agenda, which I support some of it, uh that that goes back to Roosevelt.
What was the change?
You know, uh social programs changed.
You know, he he was li to me he was disingenuous from the start because the change that he offered was was uh was John, the important thing now is the important thing, John, that is that you've woken up to it.
You that you gotta complete the cycle.
And you gotta remove the word democrat from your uh so I can be a Dino.
Let me ask you one thing.
Let me mention one other thing.
Yes, quickly, quickly, sorry.
Well I said the reason why another thing that he's done is Democrats had a chance to maybe ride this for a while, the anti-Bush thing, like the Republicans wrote Carter.
Now he's eliminated that.
Now now we got Jimmy Carter all over again, and I I think that's bad.
If you're a Democrat, that's bad, and even in that regard.
So uh you know on many levels I think Democrats should be up to.
Well, you're you're you're you're progressing.
You're coming along.
You've got a way to go there, John.
You are you're moving in the slowest.
You're moving in the right direction very slowly.
Thank you, John, for calling the Rush Limbaugh show.
Let's go also to Oklahoma City and speak to Christy.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show, Christie.
Thank you my call.
My pleasure.
What's on your mind?
We don't have much we're not long, but we'll talk about it.
I just wanted your listeners to know that the National National Education Association website that the recommended reading for the teachers uh concerns uh many of the books by Saul Olinski.
And you know, it who I would like to know who establishes the required reading for the NEA, and what can we expect from our children if our teachers are being indoctrinated uh to be radical wannabees.
Are there a lot of uh biographies of George Washington also on that list?
I I don't think so.
Really?
No.
Is this is this Laura Bush calling?
No.
I wish.
So you sound suspiciously like someone who's monitoring books.
No, actually, I received a tip on something on that, and I looked it up myself, and you have to go to the website itself.
You can't just put in uh, you know, by the way, Christy, before before I scoot Christie, have you ever been tempted to read uh Solinsky's Rules for Radicals?
No, sir, I haven't.
I have.
I carry it with me.
I have it here on the table.
I've read it.
I'm trying to uh memorize it the way that some children uh memorize the Quran, as you know.
Well, I have Runoff and I'm reading the Underground Manifesto, but uh Sololansky, I just feel like that would be unAmerican.
Well, thank you very much for calling Christie.
It's a kind of a brilliant but demented book.
I've talked about this before.
Maybe one day I'll talk about it again.
1-800-282-2882 is the number.
It's Doug Lobansky filling in for Rush.
You can also go to Rush Limbaugh.com and we'll be well we'll be back shortly.
After this.
It is Douglas Urbanski filling in for Rush Limbaugh, who is going to come back recharged in order to help lead us through the very dramatic upcoming election season.
The phone number is 1-800-282-2882.
It's open line Friday.
Um I see here that Bloomberg is now rushing to Las Vegas to Nevada to have a fundraiser for Harry Reed.
Of course, Bloomberg can just write him a check if he wants to.
Meg Whitman in California has a lead over Jerry Brown.
Watch this very closely.
You know, conservatives often will write off California as a as a place in which they do not want to spend money and win.
They don't think conservatives or Republicans can even win.
If you live in Los Angeles during a presidential uh election cycle, you will not see any television commercials for who's ever running for president.
And when you poke around and look into this, you find it's just basically because they've written off the place.
Now, California is the land of it's the land of Ronald Reagan, it's the land of Pete Wilson, it's the land of George Duke Mason.
California's been a very conservative state.
California's the state that voted in Proposition 8 last year.
Forget what the judge did.
California is the place where when taxation is on the ballot, I don't care if you live in San Francisco or Los Angeles, uh, people don't want higher taxes.
It glues us all together.
So we also see that the New York Times editorial board has decided to call any uh Tea Party candidate who is successfully wins, they get called insurgents.
They get called insurgents.
Republican insurgents from the far right did well in Tuesday's primaries.
What their campaigns lack in logic, compassion, and sensible policy seems to be counterbalanced by a fiercely committed voter base that is nowhere to be seen on the Democratic side.
Nothing democratic about the Democrat Party, just a little annoyance of mine.
New York Times calls Tea Party winners insurgents.
Uh Frank Rich, also in the New York Times, says that Fox News is trying to portray Obama as a closet terrorist.
Now, why would Fox News want to do that?
Do they do it?
I mean, look at what these people you look, you watch all these characters.
I don't like to name them.
I don't name anybody on MSNBC, and I don't like to name anybody on Liberal Talk Radio.
I listen almost exclusively to Liberal Talk Radio, by the way.
Drives my wife crazy.
I like to know what they're thinking.
Now listen, I am not advising you to try listening to Liberal Talk Radio.
Do not try it.
Do not try it.
Let me do it for you and let me tell you what they're saying.
So anyway, here's what the left they defy logic.
They they are the left completely defies love.
They're interested in amnesty for illegals, and yet this nation is a wash in illegal aliens.
We hear 12 million, 20 million, 30 million.
We have the amnesty of the mid-80s resulted in a flood of border jumpers, and Ronald Reagan felt very uh betrayed because uh they did not enact strong reform for immigration.
We have the world's most generous welfare programs, the most generous welfare benefits, and there are no eligibility requirements.
So they of course they're gonna be coming over the borders.
Um we are told by the left what else?
Well, Islam is a religion of peace, which of course, uh in many respects turns reality on its head.
And uh we've talked about that in the first hour.
The big myth we're hearing, of course, is that we can tax and regulate and spend our way uh to prosperity.
And that if we take more money, more money from the super rich, whose investments, by the way, fuel job creation and expansion.
That uh that if we take the money away from them, we will have no negative impact on the economy.
Okay, the that that really gets the left going.
Obamacare, we're told, is going to be the latest uh government success story, and I insist on referring to it as Obamacare, the wildly unpopular Obamacare.
It's going to be like the post office.
It's going to be like food stamps.
It's going to be like the federal debt.
We're going to provide health insurance for millions of currently uninsured people, and yet we'll be allowed to keep our physicians, premiums won't rise, and medical services will not be rationed.
That's of course complete tom fool.
We are not going to be able to keep our physicians.
Premiums will rise, and medical services for sure are going to be rationed.
It's already starting.
Oh boy, we're told that the limits on gun ownership are something that we need.
We're told by the left that the way to achieve peace, let me get this straight, is through weakness.
So the theory is verified throughout history, that bullies will always choose the strongest kid on the block to pick on.
So it is the victims' military powers that encourage the Germans to invade Belgium, let's say in 1914 or Poland in 1939.
So the left, you know, they they they have the peace view.
They go on its merry way dismantling America's defenses on the theory that you and I are going to be safer and more secure, uh achieving peace through weakness.
Amazing.
Uh of course, the big myth is that we are told, and we're getting this daily barrage now, that Islamic terrorism is the result of our offending the Muslim world and Muslim sensibilities, not showing due deference for their for their concerns.
Um boy oh boy, does this stand everything on its head?
They like the idea of censorship of conservative thought.
They like this the idea of censoring campus speech.
They like hate crime laws, unless they uh refer to the 9-11 uh attackers.
They would like to destroy uh talk radio.
They are they are dedicated, read this in Solinsky's book to silencing the opposition.
It's essential, in fact, that they do.
And once they do that, they cannibalize themselves, I promise you.
These are people who call themselves intellectuals, and yet the thing they fear most is what?
They fear intellectual competition.
They fear the debate.
If you're not on board with their complete religion of global warming, climate change, abortion, gay marriage, the other whole litany of things, then you are labeled.
You're told that you are anti-science when in fact it is them who is anti-science.
You are told you're a misogynistic, racist, Islamophobic, homophobic, generally just a hateful person.
In the days before Obama was inaugurated, he said he wanted his science czar to follow the science on climate change, no matter where it led, and no matter how inconvenient the truth was.
And of course, what he meant was just the opposite.
He didn't want to follow the science where it led.
They wanted to follow the science to their predetermined conclusion.
That's what they wanted to do.
Let's take a few more calls.
It is open line Friday, and I can keep going on in Detroit.
Josh, welcome to the Russian Linball Show.
Hi there.
Yes, I'm here.
How are you, Josh?
Good.
Thanks for taking my call.
My pleasure.
Um, so I guess in the spirit of full disclosure, I just want to say that um I am a GM employee right now.
Um obviously, you know, nothing I say is representative of of GM, but the point I wanted to make is that um the Obama administration's bailout of GM is I think one of the few things that they've actually done right.
Um I think that uh bailout was absolutely necessary.
Um I can tell you for a fact that if it had not happened, that I wouldn't have a job right now.
Um, and about five hundred thousand other people wouldn't either.
Hey, Josh, what do you do at GM?
What kind of work?
Um I am working on um basically um temperature control right now.
I'm uh I'm actually an undergraduate.
It's kind of like a summer internship type.
Well, what do you mean temperature control?
What is that?
Well, uh basically um the computers that control the um temperature like the um like a thermostat type thing inside your car.
Oh man, well, GM, I mean, I've owned several Cadillacs in my life.
GM has you know, climate control, you know, beating no one else on earth, if you ask me.
So, um, but I mean, it's I kind of get frustrated when I see, like on uh the Fox News comment threads online or whatever.
Uh, there's so much like virulent hate for GM just because they took bailout money.
And what do you what do you say, Josh, about Ford?
Ford, I think, is actually in a great position because they were able to um they were able to keep going without taking bailout money, and if they're obviously putting good politics, you better.
Look, I'm glad that's anything.
Josh, I Josh, I gotta scoot in about one second.
But listen, I'm glad you're employed, I'm glad your friends are employed, but they're needed.
I I'm still against the government help here, and I think they needed to become the survival of the fittest the way Ford has done and is doing, and I don't think in the long run, your company, your jobs, your product, and the consumer is helped by the government bailout and ownership of your company.
But I am happy you and your friends are employed.
Josh, thanks for calling the Russian Limbo Show.
We're gonna take one more break here.
It's 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
Doug Rebaski filling in for Rush.
Well, America wanted a president who was not a Washington insider, and so instead you got a Barack Obama, a Chicago insider.
I think we won't be doing that again anytime soon.
You want a president who would put America first, and instead you got Barack Obama, who David Limbaugh has described as a narcissistic megalomaniac, kind of, who places himself above not only America and the citizens and you and I, but he seems to place himself above the entire world.
You wanted a president who would be transparent, who would be open, whose administration would be open, and instead you've got the wildly unpopular and controversial Barack Obama, whose administration is the most opaque and unclear that of my lifetime.
You wanted a president who would heal the racial divide.
Do you remember how he sold himself that?
And instead you've got controversial and unpopular Barack Obama, who is contributing to the setback of race relations.
America wanted a president who they thought would be honest and truthful about the problems that face us.
And instead you got someone who appears, as David Limbaugh's book says, um, well, it may be less than truthful.
He may be a serial liar.
A man who's incapable of telling the truth as you and I know the truth.
America wanted a president, needed a president who would solve the economic crisis, and instead by either design, uh either design or incompetence, has worsened the economic crisis, possibly beyond repair.
Don't despair about it just yet, but watch closely.
We needed a president, we wanted a president who would create jobs, and instead we get controversial and unpopular Barack Obama, whose policies seem to be destroying millions of jobs.
And whose policies seem to have no end in sight doing that.
We wanted a president who was going to be a statesman.
And instead we got controversial and unpopular Barack Obama.
And he went around the world bowing uh grinning to our various enemies, and he insulted some of our uh finest allies.
You wanted a president who would increase the security of our country.
And instead you got Barack Obama who has spent so much time attacking and dismantling our national security.
We need a president who would decrease our national indebtedness.
The cancer, the Cancer that's going to eat away at us.
And instead, you have controversial and unpopular Barack Obama who has increased the debt by borrowing and spending in such an unprecedented manner that the new terms, new language is going to have to be invented just to describe this insanity.
Yes, Barack Obama, controversial and unpopular as he is, he promised to fundamentally transform America, and he has kept that promise, which may make the United States into a third world country.
Have you given any thought of that?
Have you given any thought of that?
So they constantly ask George W. Bush, do you have anything to apologize for?
What are they going to start asking Barack Obama?
What would you like to apologize for?
Sir, controversial and unpopular.
President Barack, as Rush says, Barack Hoover Obama.
Doug Rabanski filling in for Rush.
We'll try and squeeze in one more call before it all wraps up for the day.
On Open Line Friday, Ben in Spring, Texas.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show, sir.
Yes, Doug.
It's a pleasure and it's an honor to talk to you, Doug.
You're doing a fantastic job.
What I wanted, what I told the screen was that I can't believe we I don't know how Doug, I mean, rush, find you people, because all the marks and you and uh the the other thing uh the other thing I wanted to ask you was, what have they been doing with David Limba?
I mean, what has he been hiding them out someplace?
I hear David talking, I'm saying to myself, my God, where is this guy been?
Well, this guest host didn't hide him, as you know.
We put him on for a whole hour, and his book is really everything.
I'm not joking when I say you know it's as good as it is.
It's you gotta get it.
And all I got to say is uh is God bless you, God bless all you people that uh are on the radio, on television, telling us the truth.
Well, you know, Ben, I'm gonna go back to my day job in Hollywood when I'm when I'm finished here in a few minutes.
Well, you've got one person out there, John Voigt will uh it to look at anyways.
Maybe John can get some other people together in Hollywood.
You're not John Void, are you?
Oh no, no, no.
No, but I have a lot of respect for him.
Well, Frank, thank you very much for the kind remarks.
Anything else you want to add before I scoot, and I am gonna scoot in a moment.
All right, I want to uh just tell you a programming note next week.
As the caller alluded, everyone named Mark will be here.
Mark Belling, Mark Stein, Mark Davis will be here.
Guest host Rabaski will not be among the marks next week, but we'll hope to see you again.
Been wonderful time filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Listen, you've got to remember something.
The Republicans are trying to send a message to their party that the corrupt spending, the uh the endless tactics of spending, the earmarks, business as usual, is not going to work.
So we want humble and dedicated people who are going to be problem solvers who are going to end the corrupt uh corrupt conduct in Washington.
We don't want the government to do Obama's business.
The Democrats seem intent on sending back the same people that have engaged in the same corrupt spending and piling up the hugest debt in American history.
The left is arrogant, my friends.
The left-wing elites will scream extremism at you and I, they'll call us names, they'll call us, they'll use religious bigotry.
They'll call us Islamophobes and every other thing.
