America's real truth detector, America's real anchor man, and a doctor of democracy, El Rushbo serving humanity, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
And as Dawn just pointed out, we're all wearing blue shirts today.
Wow.
Telephone number 800 282-2882 and the email address L Rushbaugh at EIV net.com.
When I say, look, we're divided country.
Obama's got a record now, folks.
This he can they can try to blame Bush.
They can try to blame me.
They can try to blame anybody they want, but Obama's got a record now.
And Barack Obama is going to be held to account for this record despite his best efforts to blame everybody else for it.
Barack Obama is the biggest presidential failure since James Buchanan.
He is, I don't care how you slice it, a huge failure in terms of this country.
He has not served this country.
He has failed it.
And he continues to fail this country.
This nation has never been in worse debt.
This nation has never been more divided.
This nation has never been more unsure than it is today.
Not since the Civil War.
And when I say divided, I mean fundamentally divided about our future.
It is...
It's not good.
And now they won't even, they don't even want to call this this third stimulus bill the stimulus.
Anyone to call it a stimulus?
They're not even they won't even admit that it's going to stimulate the economy.
It's just another union slush fund.
No matter what evidence that it doesn't work, just pile on and keep doing it.
If anybody thinks that this is not being done purposefully, then they are just way behind.
It's getting so bad out there that even Obama's buddies on the left don't know what to make of it.
Richard Cohen today, or I think it's today in the Washington Post.
Richard Cohen, yeah, here it is.
Obama's shrinking presidency.
This piece is all about how Obama has allowed others to define him.
He needs a new staff.
He needs new speech writers.
Hey, Cohen, how about we need a new president?
At what point are you people on the left who gave us this man?
At what point are you going to realize this country is going where he wants it to go, not where his staff wants it to go?
Mr. Cohen, at what point are you going to realize the people you want him to replace are people he put there?
And he put them there for a reason.
Obama's allowed others to define him.
No, he's defining himself, Mr. Cohen.
Doesn't take any particular intelligence to look at Obama, what he's doing and aptly, properly describe it.
Define it, whatever, needs a new staff, needs new speech writers.
Listen to this.
It's clear by now Obama's allowed others to define him.
For this, Obama needs to blame Obama.
His stutter step approach to certain issues, his wimpy statements regarding the planned Islamic center in Manhattan erodes not just his standing but his profile.
What we thought we knew we don't.
Like a picture hung in the sun, he fades over time.
Obama is stuck with Obama, the good and the bad.
There is more of the former than the latter, so all is not lost, but what Obama can do, what he must do, is get some new people.
It wouldn't matter, Mr. Cohen.
I mean Christina Roomer.
Let me find Christina Roomer.
Oh, this is this is too good to pass up.
Let me find it.
Sit tight here, folks, because I'm gonna get the soundbite.
Oh, it Krugman.
The ferret like Paul Krugman, New York, he's upset.
Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times, he's upset.
Obama has no vision.
At least Reagan had a vision.
Obama has no vision.
Let's see.
Where is it?
Sit tight, folks.
It's coming right up.
I've got it here somewhere in here it is.
I'm gonna this is just classic.
Dana Milbank and the Washington Post a week ago.
September 1st, 2010.
Economist Christina Roomer serves up dismal news at her farewell luncheon.
Listen to this.
Lunch at the National Press Club on Wednesday caused some serious indigestion.
It wasn't the food, it was the entertainment.
Christina Rohmer, chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors, was giving what was billed as her valedictory before she returned to teach at Berkeley.
And she used the swan song to establish four points, each more unnerving than the last.
She had no idea how bad the economic collapse would be.
She still doesn't understand exactly why it was so bad.
The response to the collapse was inadequate, and she doesn't have much of an idea about how to fix things.
This was her speech.
This is the chairman, Obama's Council of Economic Advisors.
And she admitted she's clueless.
She doesn't understand why anything happened.
She doesn't understand why the fix didn't work.
She doesn't understand why it was so bad.
And she doesn't have much of an idea about how to fix things.
Okay.
Now I myself, ladies and gentlemen, was not amazed when I read this that she's clueless.
I'm pretty sure that if I had 15 minutes with Christina Roomer, I could totally change her economic view.
I could totally change her economic outlook.
And I don't have any advanced degrees in economics.
So she's clueless, and she admits she's clueless.
Well, why?
Why might Christina Romer be so clueless?
Why might she be so shocked?
Why might she be so mystified and unprepared to deal with anything economic?
She's the council, the chairman of the council of economic advisors.
And she admitted at the National Press Club she's clueless.
Why?
Well, she's 51 years old, and she has never spent a day outside the classroom.
She's 51 years old.
She has never spent a day outside of academia until she was named the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors.
1981, BA conferred, 1985, PhD conferred, 1985-88, assistant professor, 1988 present, UC Berkeley professor.
This is called a career history.
But there's no career here.
Her entire life has been spent theorizing.
Her entire life has been based not in any economic reality.
She has worked at universities, which are not faced with economic realities.
She hasn't ever made a payroll.
She's never run a business.
She has taught disdain for people who run businesses.
Yet she's the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, and she admits on her way out of town she doesn't understand why anything happened.
Well, very clear to me why.
She's never been outside the classroom.
She's never been outside the ivory towers of academe.
And you can look it up.
There's a link here, Who Runs Government.com profiles Christina Roomer.
And if you click the link and you go to the Path to Power section, you see that her big claim to fame was to crunch really old economic numbers differently than some other already old guy had done before.
Pure theoretician.
She sat around and did nothing but theorize.
But she was ne she never subjected herself to her own theories.
She was never ever subject to anything she believed.
This this stimulus bill, this is this third stimulus bill.
We ought to call it his third impotence pill.
Obama taking his third Viagra pill today.
so now he's gone see Alice on us.
And it isn't stimulating anything.
Impedance.
That's what this administration's getting.
And Paul Krugman doesn't dig it.
This is last Sunday on ABC's This Week.
They just got rid of their news division guy.
David Weston.
Because they told him Disney said, you better, you better cut some budget out of there.
You better save some money.
And you know how to do that.
Save money in a news division?
Why we ought to be exempt from this.
So he's gone.
There have been rumors that ABC is going to sell the news division anyway.
The only thing they really like is ESPN.
Because it's a license to print money.
That's just a rumor.
Don't quote me.
It's been out there for a long time that I wants to get rid of the news division, just like the NBC does.
But nevertheless, Krugman was on this week.
And uh Christian Amanpur, the new host debt, said to the ferret like Paul Krugman, you talked about what was going on during Reagan's time at a similar point in his presidency.
People are writing about now.
They point to Reagan using his presence, boosting the optimism of the American people, talking about American exceptionalism, giving the economy back.
Is there sort of a disconnect between what the president has done and how he's sort of affecting the mood of the people?
Obama has had no vision.
He has not articulated a philosophy.
What is Obama's philosophy of government?
He's he's he wobbles between sounding kind of like a uh a liberal, then he says, well, the conservatives have some points too.
He concedes the message.
There's never been anything like what Reagan did, which is to say, we've been on the wrong track.
We're gonna follow a very different track, that's gonna change things.
You need to, you know, support us in this.
Well, you know it's bad when the ferret like Paul Krugman turns on you.
You're a liberal president, you're socialist, and Krugman turns on you.
It's gotta be bad.
But I don't know what Krugman's talking about here when he says that Obama has never had a philosophy of government.
How in the hell do you look at what Obama is doing and not associate a phone?
It's called destruction, Paul.
His philosophy is destruction.
His philosophy is socialism.
His philosophy is destroy the private sector.
There is a clear philosophy, and it's out of touch with everything the American people have understood and stand for, and that's why his party is going to get shellacked.
If you want to have a name for Obama's philosophy, it's called get even with him ism.
Back after this.
So I'm looking now at qualifications to be on a Sunday show.
That Krugman on there.
Do you have to become, or you have to be a complete failure in your profession and your predictions to get on the Sunday shows?
Because these guys predicted great things for Obama, great things for the U.S. economy, all the stimulus spending, and now Krugman's out there saying it hasn't been enough.
And yet we've never been a nation more in debt than we are today.
Do you have to be completely out of touch with your audience and the American people to appear on these shows?
I um I think so.
It appears that way to me.
Now I'm sure if I wanted to go on, they'd have me.
Don't misunderstand.
I mean, I could.
All I have to do is call them.
You know, I'd like to come on Sunday.
They let me.
And I would disprove my own theory here.
But I mean, it's I mean, Krugman just wrote, we need World War II.
We need a repeat of World War II to get out of this current recession.
We need a World War II.
I thought the New Deal, Paul, I thought you guys thought FDR got us out of it with his um domestic policy.
Obviously not.
Here's the bottom line.
This is what this is what Krugman and Cohen and these guys know.
As Obama sinks, so do they.
As Obama sinks, so do his supporters in and out of the media.
Krugman, Powell, General Powell, um, The rest of these people, either backed Obama or trashed conservatives at the outset of this administration.
They all.
They all sink with him.
They all do.
Everybody that endorsed this guy sinks with him.
That's why they're all it's all about them now.
Back to the phones we go.
Derek and Lou.
Nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, ditto, Rush from Voulever.
Thank you very much.
Hey, sir.
Uh I got paid last Friday.
Uh still working out here in this economy.
And I just wanted to get your take on a Super Bowl pick, and I'd love to put a hundred dollars on anything you say, sir.
Uh should I put a hundred dollars on what I say to pick for the Super Bowl?
So I'm not gonna pick now.
Oh.
Oh, no way.
That's a that's a that I mean you you put money on my pick, and then if it doesn't work out, I'm gonna be getting calls from your lawyer and everybody else wanting to be paid because you're gonna blame me for it.
Now I mean uh you put me in an untenable position there.
Oh, that's that's a shame.
Well, uh any thoughts at all?
I mean, you you called the Dennis Dixon thing.
He's he's gonna be your starting quarterback.
I thought you knew your stuff there, Rush.
Uh well, I do.
I do, but you're you're you're you you you're trying to get me to break the law, maybe.
I don't think you know that, but uh, you're trying to get me to break the law here.
You're you're gonna go out and invest a hundred bucks in what I say.
Are you gonna place this bet in Las Vegas or you're gonna call a bookie?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, see.
Right.
Well, uh hey, I just what is your thing, Rush?
Hey, I hope when we uh I hope I see you in heaven one day and uh we can share a cigar together.
Uh new heaven one day we can share his uh the Yeah, anything's possible.
Who do you think's gonna win the Super?
Who's gonna be in the Super Bowl?
Who do you think?
Well, I think you gotta go with the Vikings.
I mean, they're returning far if he can just stay healthy.
I think they were close last year.
I think they're gonna come back and win it this year myself.
All right.
Uh, what about the AFC?
AFC's pretty wide open, wouldn't you say?
Uh I think the NFC is pretty wide open, too.
Right, true.
Nobody's won a game yet, nobody's lost one.
Yeah, I hear you.
What about the what about the Jets?
The Jets got Reeves back.
Right.
Well, I mean, in a second year quarterback uh like Revis or uh, I don't know.
Well, the purpose of having a Revis is so you don't have to depend on your second year quarterback.
Right.
Right.
All I can tell you is I'm excited.
Do you realize, Snerdly, do you realize last night?
Last night was Monday, right?
Last night was the last Monday night without NFL football until January.
That's uh who who do I think I haven't even thought about who's gonna win the conference championships and be in the Super Bowl.
I have who I think is gonna start off with the biggest bang uh this year.
Um think about that.
You know, it's only Tuesday.
The season starts on Thursday with uh Brett Farbrett Farbrett Five against the the Saints uh in the Superdome on Thursday night, then Sunday it kicks off uh big time and Sunday night.
I tell you the Monday night game, the Jets and the Ravens is uh doubleheader on Monday night, the Jets and Ravens, and then the uh the Chargers and Chiefs in Kansas City.
And Sunday night, uh I'm having a metal block on the Sunday night game.
Thursday night, Brett Farbrett Barbett Favre and the uh the Minnesota Vikings.
I don't know.
Let me think about it, snurdly.
I've just been excited a season starting.
I just I have to think about it in um in a little greater detail.
You know, you know, Paul Krugman.
I can't I'm still drawn Paul Krugman is actually suggesting uh we need a World War II to uh to take us out of this economic morass.
So Mr. Krugman, are you asking the Nazis to save us from ourselves again?
Is that what this means.
Here's Rick in San Diego.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
Great to talk to you, Rush.
Dallas in Washington on Sunday night, right.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
I'm a musician and a bit of a music historian.
Love music trivia.
When I heard this quote from Obama about talking about him like a dog, I immediately recognize that as being a line from a Jimmy Hendrix song.
Stone free.
Jimmy Hendrick song, stone free.
That was never true in Hendrick's case.
They talk about me like I'm a dog.
They talk about the clothes I wear, but they don't realize they're the ones who square.
I just got a kick out of that.
You sound like a guy that'd be into Jimmy Hendrix.
I love Hendrix.
I'm a great guitarist.
I'm a drummer myself, but I can't deny the talent that Jimmy had.
No question.
Crosstown traffic.
Yes.
Great tune.
Crosstown traffic.
Um.
Well, it is, it is.
I he brought it up again.
Obama said his opponents.
What do he say?
Talking about him like a dog?
Like a dog.
And I all I can all I can tell you is is that we all love our dogs.
We love and nobody's talking about how they love Obama.
That's not what he meant.
I know that's not what he meant.
We all love our dogs.
Every day in the week I'm in a different city.
If I stay too long, people try to pull me down.
They talk about me like a dog, talking about the clothes I wear, but they don't realize they're the ones who square.
That's the that's a lyric from the Jimi Hendrix song.
You know, Paul Krugman, such such a leftist nutcase.
The ChICOM, the ChICOM leadership would send him to hard labor.
He's such a wacko.
Back after this.
Don't go away.
And we got a little Jimmy Hendrix here all along the watchtower.
They're gonna take Reggie Bush's Heisman trophy away from him.
First time it's ever happened.
They're gonna take it away.
It looks like well, it's not definite yet, but it looks like they're gonna take uh Reggie Bush's Heisman trophy away because he was not qualified to win it.
He was violating uh NCAA rules.
Now USC has already given their copy of the Heisman back, and they got rid of the regime that was there.
They've been uh told they can't play in ball games for two years.
Lots happening out there in the uh in the world of sports.
Back to this piece by Roger Simon at Politico, polls lie about Obama.
Roger Simon don't trust the polls.
After all this time, the polls are Bible to people at Politico.
The polls are Bible to everybody in the state-controlled media.
But now all of a sudden the polls lie about Obama all the time, and that's because people lie to pollsters.
Remember during the Clinton years, we even learned that people lie to their diaries still.
Isn't this good news?
Mr. Obama, the Democrats might be far more popular than their current polls would indicate.
Take the recent polls that have dominated talk radio, talk television, a blogosphere for weeks now.
These are the polls that say a surprising percentage of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim.
We should know Obama and his true beliefs a lot better now, but we don't seem to.
Well, why is that?
Why is that, Mr. Simon?
Why didn't we know more about Obama before the elections?
The White House has done what it can to handle the recent polls and stories.
Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said the president's obviously a Christian.
He prays every day.
He communicates with his religious advisor every day.
There's a group of good pastors he takes counsel from on a regular basis.
His faith is very important to him, but it's not something that's a topic of conversation every single day.
Well, we went through this once before.
None of this makes him obviously a Christian.
Prays every day, so do Muslims.
So do Hindus.
I mean, so if the global warmers pray every day.
Doesn't make them Christians.
He communicates with his religious advisor every day.
I know a lot of Jews that talk to their rabbi ever doesn't make him Christians.
There's a group of good pastors, he takes counsel from an irregular, so do a lot of people.
A lot of people talk to the priest, take counsel.
Clinton had Reverend Jackson, uh Reverend Sharpton up there during the Monica Lawrence.
Doesn't mean he's a Christian.
None of this means he's a Christian.
He may well be.
Don't misunderstand here.
I'm just saying that Bill Burton's offers of proof are not proof of anything.
His faith is very important to him.
Well, um.
Yeah, that uh a lot of Jewish people's faith is important to them.
Doesn't make them Christian.
Uh not something it's a huge topic of conversation every single day.
Sounds like it is.
He prays every day, communicates with his religious advisor every day.
Group of pastors he takes counsel from on a regular basis.
But then it's not something it's a topic of conversation every single day, yet he does it every single day.
But it doesn't matter, none of this proves that he's a Christian.
On August 25th, the supermarket tabloid of Globe ran a picture of Obama's Somali garb wearing a white turban from his visit to Africa 2006 with a headline, Obama is a Muslim.
Um, the Muslim garb photo was first run in the February 4th, 2008 edition of the National Examiner.
The National Examiner beat the globe.
And we should note here that it was an AP picture.
It doesn't mean anything.
I mean, there's this this.
What what what Simon's trying to get at here is that um polls lie about Obama.
Um, one of Obama's pastors is a Muslim and a friend of the Imam Raouf of the Ground Zero Mosque.
And Reverend Wright, I think was a Muslim at one point.
Not that this means it.
I mean, I'm just pointing all this out.
But I find it fascinating now that the left that lives and dies by polls, all of a sudden, yeah, you know what?
These polls could be way wrong.
People lie to pollsters all the time.
And yet, from NBC News poll is the headline, poll, clear GOP advantage ahead of midterms.
Combination of sky-high GOP enthusiasm, a deep sense of pessimism about the country's direction, and dissatisfaction with Obama's stewardship of the economy has given Republicans a clear advantage heading into the November midterms, according to the latest NBC News Wall Street Journal poll.
Rasmussen, the generic ballot, Republicans, huge advantage.
Well, all of a sudden now we can't trust this because people lie to their polsters.
But could we say maybe the stimulus failed?
Is it is that stimulus one, stimulus two?
Viagra one failed, Viagra two failed.
Now we're trying to see Alice in the weekend version.
See if maybe that'll work.
From media, Paul Krugman and Tom Friedman fed up Obama has no vision.
Does this we we just played that sound bite from Krugman?
Grab number 39 again.
Because Krugman, Krugman's a white guy.
And Tom Friedman's a white guy.
Listen to these two white guys, listen to this one white guy talk about Obama.
Obama has had no vision.
He has not articulated a philosophy.
What is Obama's philosophy of government?
He's he's he wobbles between sounding kind of like a uh a liberal, then he says, well, the conservatives have some points too.
He concedes the message.
There's never been anything like what Reagan did, which is to say, we've been on the wrong track, we're gonna follow a very different track, that's gonna change things, you need to, you know, support us in this.
Okay, so you have a white guy here, Paul Krugman, who says that uh Obama, a black guy, is A bad communicator who lacks vision.
Now, why why why don't we just drop the niceties here and just call him stupid?
Krugman just called Obama stupid.
A white guy just called a black guy stupid.
Can we therefore read between the lines and say that Krugman is racist?
The reason I ask is that any other criticism of Obama is said to be racist, is it not?
I think this is a vicious racist attack on Obama by an elite white columnist for the New York Times.
They have a couple black columnists.
One's run on Saturday when nobody reads the paper.
Well, nobody reads it anyway, but I mean fewer people on Saturday.
So I mean, is it fair to say that a bunch of white racists are now getting an Obama's case from the uh from the left?
Fred in Jacksonville, Florida.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
Hello, sir.
Privilege is all mine.
Thank you.
And well, you know, Klugman is probably an operative for the Tea Party, if you ask somebody from the left.
Because, yeah, an operative for the Tea Party because he's ripping into Obama.
Exactly.
And they're a racist organization.
We all know that.
I mean, you know, I am a proud member.
Uh that article earlier that uh people being happy making 750,000.
No, no.
It's a it's a Wall Street Journal piece that says once you're once you get to 75,000 a year, you don't get any happier uh no matter how much more than that you make.
That you're happiness and contentment peaks at 75,000 a year.
I I think uh, you know, if you look at it a certain way, it feels like to me what they're basically saying is that regardless of your income level, regardless of what you make or how much you have now, as long as we, the Imperial Federal government and the Obama regime are kind enough to leave you with at least $75,000 a year.
No harm, no foul.
You're gonna be just as happy.
Don't worry about a thing.
I have a different take, although that's a valid take.
It's a it's a very valid take.
I have a valid take.
Um, or different take.
Uh and that is since the opportunity for you to earn $75,000 a year or more is about over.
Uh just understand it wasn't a big deal to do it anyway.
They should have been miserable.
We'll be back.
I had I I did notice that.
Uh Catherine just walked in and Don pointed out she's wearing uh blue shirt, too.
Along with the rest of us.
Wow.
Uh Krugman.
Uh racist anger at Obama.
You know, it's a sad sad thing because many people hope that the election of 2008 would mark the end of the angry white voter, but today we got Richard Cohen all ticked off in the Washington Post.
I got Paul Krugman, New York Times all ticked off, the angry white male.
These guys um, every time we think we gotten rid of them, they just pop back up.
Well, well, we've I we've had an angry black president for a long time.
I mean, that's but um nobody wants to get rid of the angry black president.
The angry white male continues to be the problem.
Well, nobody on their side, snertly.
Nobody on on their side.
Uh long-term weight loss.
Some Reuters, uh, long-term weight loss might be harmful to health.
You want to hear the details of this?
Uh long-term weight loss may release into the blood industrial pollutants linked to illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis, researchers said today.
These compounds are normally stored in fatty tissues, but when fat breaks down during weight loss, they get into the bloodstream, said the lead researcher Duck He Lee at the Kyung Pook National University in Daegu in South Korea.
That would be Duck He Lee at the Kyungpook National University in Daegu, South Korea.
We are living under the strong dogma that weight loss is always beneficial and weight gain's always harmful.
But we think that increased pollutant levels in the blood due to weight loss can affect human health in a variety of ways.
This is not going to sit well with Michelle My Bell, whose anti-obesity uh program is just kicking off.
Those who lost the most weight over ten years had the highest concentrations of these poisons called persistent organic pollutants or POS compared to those who gained or maintained a steady weight.
So I guess what do we conclude from this?
Losing weight is unhealthy now.
See, every day, every day you're going to get one of these.
Every day you're going to get a nutcase story like this.
Just have to detox.
Exactly right.
But nobody wants a detox center in their neighborhood.
You ever thought of that?
Ladies and gentlemen, as an experienced entrepreneur, I know that running a small business takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, and if you lose a lot of weight, a lot of poisons.
So if you run a small business, allow me to help you avoid the tears.

Teresa in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rosh.
It's a pleasure to speak to you.
Thank you.
Um I just wanted to add on the story that you uh mentioned previously about the uh Los Angeles school that was built on a toxic site named after Al Gore.
Yes.
Okay.
It turns out I went and I checked the uh because I heard it on Fox News, and I thought it was a joke.
So I went uh and I Googled it and I checked on it, and sure enough, it's an a story right out of the LA Times.
And the fact is that they had to replace two three thousand eight hundred square foot plots of land around it because it was contaminated.
But also, the school is near underground tanks from a nearby gas station near an oil well, above an oil field, and on top of contaminated groundwater.
I mean, i it it it's so bizarre.
It's perfect is what it's like.
No, no, no.
Teresa, it's not bizarre, it's perfect.
It's like putting a mosque at ground zero.
Uh-huh.
Well, hello.
Welcome to our world.
Why did you think it was a joke just because you heard about it on Fox News?
Because I mean, come on, gore.
And no, no, not because, but I mean, you know, I I thought it was like light news.
Oh, yes, sure, they're gonna build it.
No, no, it's built.
They spent 75.5 million dollars for this facility, and then on top of that, they had to spend a four million dollar cleanup on top of it in a in a city that that's not you know, that it's going down in bankruptcy.
Exactly right.
I mean, they put an Al Gore school across from an oil well on top of an oil field.
Anyway, Teresa, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
