Time Text
All right, somebody alert the media.
I am now being inundated.
I spent the first 20 minutes of this program talking about Terry Jones and explaining we went to the same high school.
I'm now being inundated with requests from various media members.
Did you know him?
Did he get his Koran burning ideas from you?
So I'm going to explain this one more time.
I am not going to respond to these media people.
It's just, I'm not going to get a trap, and I don't have time.
I don't want to explain it.
One more time and do everything else we do on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Telephone number 8008 2288 to the email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
Obama was speaking slowly to them.
I'm sorry, I haven't make a big deal about this.
I forgot.
He had he needs a vacation.
He had a vacation a while.
I think he's probably just tired.
I probably made too big a deal out of it.
The halting speech Pat Turn.
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
Email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
So yesterday afternoon, about this time, maybe 2 30 Eastern.
Bottom of the hour break.
Look at a computer.
There's an email.
Stand by.
This might be the Terry Jones that was in your high school class at Central High in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Go Tigers.
Can't be.
Cannot be.
This guy did not have a mustache.
Can't be.
After the program, a couple more.
Yeah, it looks like it then my cousin Steve in Cape Girardeo sends me a note saying, well, you better go to KFES Channel 12 Eyeball News website, because they got it all up there.
Pictures out of the yearbook and everything.
I said, how about that?
So I find out that the Coran burning preacher in Gainesville, Florida, with a flock of 50, was in my graduating has screw class, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 1969, go Tigers.
I don't think I was ever in a class with the guy.
I don't and people, my staff, when I when I mentioned this earlier in the program started teasing me.
Oh, come on!
It's a small town.
How do you mean you don't remember?
Look at there were 2200 people in the school.
The man's name is Terry Jones.
How many Terry Joneses are there?
I mean, in the state of Florida alone, how many Terry Joneses are there.
So when it was brought to my attention, I saw the pictures.
Well, okay, I remember this kid from Babe Ruth League Baseball.
He's on another team.
Summer baseball league, one notch up from Little League.
And I remember his dad was very involved.
We all had the impression his dad thought this kid was going to be Major League Baseball pitcher, was teaching to throw curveballs and sliders and stuff.
And uh that's it.
That's the extent.
I don't even remember seeing the guy in the halls.
Of course, I wasn't in school much.
I also dealt with that in the first hour.
I hated it.
I just hated school.
I can't, there's there's I don't think there's anything in life more that I have despised that I had to do than that.
But I mean, I lived for the day where I did folks, it was pure torture.
I'm sitting in a classroom, I'm looking out the window, and there's people walking by and driving by.
And to me, they were free.
I was a prisoner.
Anyway, that's off the beaten path.
So uh now the media is just there's they're so excited by this.
They oh, they just they hope there's some kind of they're hoping that we had secret meetings in somebody's basement back then that nobody's talking about.
But I never, I don't even know where the where where Mr. Jones lived in uh in Cape Girardo.
I never saw Mr. Jones to my knowledge, other than in the summertime on the baseball diamond when we played Baby Ruth League Baseball, and he was a different.
I don't know.
It was not on my team because I remember that faced the guy.
And I actually liked facing him because I was a right-handed hitter.
I was always felt more comfortable facing left-handers.
I just did.
But I don't remember ever having said a word to um to Mr. Jones.
But I know the media.
They're trying to find out.
Mark Levin ever spent any time in Cape Gerardo.
Sean Hannity, Limbaugh's brother, number two, number one, the New York Times best of our list for the second week in a row, Cape Girardeau.
And now the uh now the preacher, who they're protesting in Afghanistan.
So that's the extent of it.
That's I don't know any more than that.
It was it's been kind of funny, actually, to look at the if I could show you the emails, because the emails that people started sending me 24 hours ago were uh-oh, oh no, you better brace yourself, because all my friends know, knew what the media would try to do with this bit of information.
If the guy's name, like I said in the first hour, if his name was Enos Slobodnik or something, I mean I would remember you you don't forget a name like Enos Slobodnik or Eli Ezra Born Trager, something like that.
I remember I remember Eli Ezra Born Trager, but I doubt there's another one anywhere.
I don't know where he is either.
Don't misunderstand.
I don't know.
Ezra may have a church throwing Molotov cocktails someplace.
I have no clue.
Terry Terry Jones did not, I never knew he was religious.
He never set fire to second base.
He never threatened to burn down the stadium.
No.
There was no indication that Terry Jones had any affinity for fire or the uh the word of God.
No clue.
What?
What's the question?
Have I ever been to Gainesville?
I I've honestly I can tell you I have not been to Gainesville.
I watch.
They're gonna try to find out if I've been to Gainesville.
I haven't been to Gainesville.
Uh I have flown into Tallahassee, but I've never gotten off the airplane there.
But I've uh I've never I've flown over Gainesville.
I've never dropped leaflets there.
I think I've flown over it.
It's probably right there in the center north part of the state.
But I've never been there, no.
Any other questions?
Anything else you anticipate that I might be asked.
He never set second base on fire, never threatened to burn down a stadium.
Uh I probably I probably conducted more pranks than this guy did when he was uh in school.
What's the next what's the next question?
What other extremists did I attend high school with?
What other extremists?
Were there any Republicans in my high school?
Um some conservatives, yes.
Uh fact one of one of my one of the people I do it's sketchy, coming back to me.
One guy I was in high school with was in fact the son of a lawyer for the Teamsters.
Yes.
One was the son of a lawyer for the Teamsters.
I remember that distinctly.
I remember another guy I knew, he was the son of somebody who had an asphalt concrete company who got a big contract to build I-55 to nowhere on the way to St. Louis.
I remember that.
What another question you have, uh, Mr. Snerdley.
What is the question?
Mm-hmm.
Did I ever make fun of Terry Jones and spark this current rage?
In high school.
No.
I do not recall Terry Jones from high school.
I don't know if he had a sister.
I don't I recall his father.
I'll tell you what I recall.
His father between innings will go out and watch the kid warm up in the middle of games.
One of these very involved little league fathers.
But no, I never had um I I never talked pyrotechnics religion.
I never talked to Mr. Jones other than out there on the and I don't even remember that because he's on the other side.
There was a competitor.
Yes, another question.
Last question, and we hope to bury it.
I hope the media is listening, because I'm not going to respond to him.
I don't have time.
I got other things I want to do, and I'm not going to respond.
Is there any way he might have gotten his ideas on the Quran from you?
I actually got that question a minute ago.
Is there any way because the blogosphere is saying this?
Would you like to address this?
Blogosphere, the Schlagosphere.
Bunch of Looney Tune kooks, bigger kooks than he is, are on the blogosphere.
What's the last question?
Mm-hmm.
As incestuous as the press corps and the power brokers in Washington are why is this even important?
Well, there are two reasons why it's important.
The first original reason why it's important is because a guy at a small church who has a mustache and a cheap little truck with a sign on it in the front yard of the church in Gainesville fits the template of the media who think that all religious people are Southern Hayseed Hicks.
Okay, so this guy fits that template.
Now the second reason they're interested is to find out to the extent Limbaugh's involved.
All right, let me let me review a little more and just answer some other questions about Terry Jones because I just I want to make sure I cover every angle.
Every I cross every T. None of my friends in high school ever blew up the Pentagon.
To the best of my knowledge, the Reverend Terry Jones has not blown up the Pentagon.
The Reverend Terry Jones, I don't believe, has strapped bombs to himself, gotten a gun, taken hostages, and claimed he was inspired by Al Gore.
Which James Lee at the Discovery Building of last week, and of course, nobody's interested in that at all.
Barack Obama sat in the pew of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years and said, I don't remember a thing he said.
I was four years in high school with this guy, and they're not believing me when I say I only remember him from Babe Ruth League Baseball.
I don't have any friends that blew up the Pentagon.
He was not my pastor for 20 years.
So I I don't I don't know what all this is about.
Look at it was 40 years ago.
Four years, 40 years ago.
Cut me some slack media.
Obama was in Reverend Wright's church for 20 years, a couple years ago, and doesn't remember a thing he said.
And finally, you can look wherever you want in the Gerard.
That's a high school yearbook, and you will not find Terry Jones voted most likely to incite a Muslim riot.
You will not find it.
Now, one more departure from the North.
Terry Jones has not won the Lewis Farrakhan Lifetime Achievement Award, as has President Obama's preacher.
The uh Reverend Wright.
I don't believe the Reverend Terry Jones has ever said God the US of KKK.
I don't think the Reverend Terry Jones ever said we deserve what we got on 9-11.
That's about it.
Now, one more brief departure.
A woman I know is uh had a birthday yesterday in Minnesota.
Her name is Shammy.
She turned 94.
She is a regular listener of this program, and she just recently converted an 89-year-old liberal in Chicago to this program.
Because I've gotten to know Shammy over the years, and Shammy told her 89-year-old liberal buddy that I'm a nice guy, and that's all it took for the 89-year-old liberal woman in Chicago to become a fan.
So I meant to wish Shammy a happy birthday yesterday.
She listens in the basement of her house every day.
I think in Eden Prairie.
Not far from Brett Farv Brett Farv Brett Favre headquarters where the uh Minnesota Vikings training uh complex.
So I can always find a way to relate this to the uh National Football League.
Anyway, happy, happy birthday, Shammy.
And I should also point out uh Terry Jones has never heard of Shammy, and Shammy has never before today heard of Terry Jones.
I've never discussed Terry Jones with Shammy, and she'll back me up on this.
I think I think what the media is trying to do is trying to tie me to Terry Jones because they want the Muslims to call a fatwa on my head.
They've tried everything else.
Get the Muslims on my case.
They have a fatwa against the EIB network.
John in Indianapolis, as we go back to the phones on open line Friday.
Great to have you here.
And hello, sir.
Sir, man, you need a break.
Um you're gonna have a long weekend.
But uh, like you, I like to get away from politics, and let's talk about something we both love dearly.
Let's talk football.
Two points.
What'd you think of the NFL opener last night and uh the Manning Bowl, because I think uh that game will be the one exceeding Super Bowl viewership because it'll be the first time.
The first time, brother versus brother.
And the only thing I can say about that game is I just wish Shocky Giant, because he used to be to me the Bill Lambeer, or he used to be, um Bill Lambera football.
And I don't blame Farr for losing that game.
I blame Allen and the coaching staff for last night.
Let's say you, sir.
Okay.
First place, it'll be the second time the Manning Bowl's taking place.
Uh Eli and uh and and uh uh uh Peyton.
The Giants hosted the Colts, I think, in a Thursday night game three or four years ago, and uh Indianapolis won.
I don't think the Manning Bowl this year is gonna be bigger than the Super Bowl because it's not going to attract a Muslim audience uh like the Super Bowl does.
Uh Super Bowl's a worldwide audience.
Hell yeah, the Manning Bowl is going to attract the Muslim audience.
Unless there's a fatwa on uh on on one of the Mannings.
As for last night, this is what you get.
This is what you get if you sit out training camp and you don't build up a rhythm with your receivers, and your number one receiver Sidney Rice is out for half season because of hip surgery.
Uh I mean uh I I don't think anybody ought to be surprised that you have a rusty quarterback, Brett Farbbrett Farbrett Favre.
He hasn't worked all that much since last season, didn't go to training camp.
And I don't think, you know, I'll tell you what the Saints did.
The Saints looked at last year's first game planning, the first game in the NFL is tough because you don't you you can't look at the previous week's opponent and see what they've done.
So what the Saints did, they went back and looked at who the uh the Vikings opened with last year, which was the Cleveland Browns, and they looked at their game.
I'm sure they did.
I don't know that I'm I bet this is what they did, and they game planned for the way the Vikings opened up last year.
Of course, they had Sidney Rice uh last year, but the thing I noticed about the game last night was the um Saints defense.
Everybody think the Saints are gonna light it up offensively.
It was a low-scoring game.
I think it's also emblematic of the fact that starters don't play much in the preseason.
It's kind of like um hitters are ahead of pitchers in spring training.
So look out for the Saints defense this year.
I think that's one of the uh things that took away from the game last night.
Folks, there's a uh If there's a week this year to think about the Constitution and what kind of country we have because of the brilliance of our founding fathers, it's next week.

By the way, I asked a couple days ago, where's General Powell?
And he spoke.
General Powell says the ground zero mosque should go forward.
We'll be back.
Much more straight ahead.
We are back.
I am Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Open line Friday.
You can talk about whatever you want to talk about on the Friday edition.
Here is Diane in Greenville, Tennessee.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Um we need to talk about Republican guts.
Uh I am a truck driver.
Non-union.
Mm-hmm.
Unions have priced themselves out of the job market.
I'm pretty tired of them griping and moaning about jobs, fair wages, right to work.
Who who gave them the ability to have a job for life?
Now, on top of that, they are thrusting a pension bubble on top of this country that we can't afford.
I hate the word unsustainability, but this fits.
They Well, now you're talking about public sector unions.
You're talking about the NEA, the teachers and municipal workers, and you're right about the unfunded liabilities that we face on their pensions, there's no question.
And in the meantime, the Obama administration has rescinded executive orders that were signed by President Bush for the labor department as far as transparency and accountability with their books, their right to hire, where their money goes, and they're not accountable anymore.
This should not have surprised you.
I mean, the No, it didn't.
Obama and the unions are there's an umbilical cord there.
Yes.
Has not yet been severed.
I think this strikes at the heart of the human working condition is you are preferred as a worker over me.
Who are you to be preferred over me when I work just as hard as you do?
Well, that's exactly you know that the here's is the way I would if I had a question for Obama today at his press conference.
I could have said this, said Mr. President, average federal bureaucrat makes 120,000 with salary and benefits.
The average private sector employee earns half that much.
So who's defending The rich.
And who's attacking the middle class, Mr. President?
Mr. President, you are defending the rich.
And one thing I don't think Obama, and you can talk about whether he understands it or not.
I don't think he understands how a private sector job's created.
He's never had one, and when he did work in a private sector, he thought he was behind enemy lines.
I I think he believes a government job is the same thing as a private sector job.
I don't really think he under he's a theoretician.
I don't think he understands the difference in a private sector job and the public sector.
I think he thinks it's one and the same.
And I think he thinks spending federal money to create jobs is the same thing as growing the private sector.
I think he does.
And if he doesn't understand it, it doesn't matter, because the outcome is the same, still doing as much damage, whether he knows it or not, to the genuine engine of production of this country, which is the private sector.
And Diane, your voice is one of a chorus of millions who call here, and I can hear the angst, the anger, dissatisfaction.
And look at here what a reason why she she what is it about you, she's saying of other unions, Federal Union people, uh public union people.
What is it about you to guarantee your job forever?
Who are you?
So Obama's got everybody at each other's throats here.
Mr. Unifier has come to divide.
And he has succeeded.
Brian, Colorado Springs, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Um nine years ago, uh well, the Eman, he wants us to have tolerance for the building of the mosque.
Nine years ago, 3,000 Americans were murdered, and and uh there was no tolerance shown.
And then Daniel Pearl, he was decapitated.
There was no tolerance shown.
So I don't want to listen to this Imam.
I know his ultimate goal is to build the mosques so I uh so that uh he can show the Moslem world uh that's like a victory thing for them.
And and uh and and I think we're over there in the Middle East, whatever, when they conquered people, they built mosques to show that they were conquerors, and I don't trust that guy, and I don't trust uh vacationer and chief we have as president either.
Again, you are uh one voice in a chorus of an increasing number of millions.
And I would just say, remind you of the story we had yesterday.
This Imam actually said that he had he known in advance is gonna cause all this trouble, he would not have put it there.
But it's too late now because it would be seen as a sign of weakness in every Muslim uprisings.
Well uh what?
So what regardless here, we are supposed to kowtow to the threat of militant Muslim uprisings.
Oh, yeah, you yeah, he says, okay, he wouldn't have put it there if he'd have known there'd be this misdivision, but now it's too late.
And now uh can't move it because that's going to cause all kinds of riots and uprisings and so forth.
What religion of peace?
Um this is what I hear people say in their own words, they're saying and asking, well, the hell are we bending over for all the time here?
What what did we do?
You got Reverend Wright saying America's chickens come home to roost.
You know, a lot of Americans say, okay, yeah, we supported Israel, yeah, we've been imperialism.
Well, what do you expect of it?
Blow up the World Trade Center, yeah, with our planes, yeah.
Well, we kind of deserve it.
Uh most Americans say, what the hell did we do?
Why do we have to keep bending over?
Why do we have to keep apologizing?
Why do we have to keep showing tolerance?
What did we do?
What did those 3,000 people do?
What what's the price they had to pay?
And who's in charge of that?
I I hear I don't whatever the subject matter when people call this program, uh, there is a an effervescing dissatisfaction and anger.
The way the uh the quote-unquote ruling class, particularly on the Democrat side, is not only leaving the country and taking it, and not happy about it.
Thanks, uh, Brian for the call.
Appreciate it.
Heritage Foundation, quick to provide an analysis of Obama's new stimulus plan.
By the way, he he finally allowed for uh stimulus to be used as a word at the press conference today.
Well, only because he's trying to stimulate the economy.
This is why I say he doesn't this this 50 billion, he just if we just do this enough times, we're gonna revive the economy.
He doesn't know that by doing this we are destroying it.
Well, he does know it, I have no doubt.
But anyway, back to Heritage.
They were out with a quick analysis of this new $50 billion plan infrastructure.
Ronald Utt, one of the researchers, points out the first stimulus plan had 48.1 billion dollars for infrastructure in it.
And we saw that it did not create permanent jobs.
It did not, though we didn't do any infrastructure rebuilding, and the pe th there's nothing.
We're left with nothing but a massive deficit.
So there's good reason to say clear of son of stimulus, which is what the heritage people are calling it.
Obama makes a big point this week that he's uh he's not seen one new idea from the right.
Well, the Heritage Foundation has 123 new ideas, solutions for America.
Pick any day, and you're you will find the Heritage Foundation on its game, paying attention to what's happening with conservative solutions and analysis.
And many of these ideas are as old as the country itself.
The solution to many of these problems are found right in the Constitution, right in the founding documents of the country.
So in that sense, maybe they're not new.
They're new to people who never heard of them before.
But they work.
700,000 members.
This week we're going to exceed it at the Heritage Foundation.
It's a wonderful thing to be able to access everything they do.
Their output is just overwhelming.
They've been a member of the Heritage Foundation for a long time.
You can too.
AskHeritage.org is the website for Heritage Foundation membership.
Really easy to navigate through.
Check out the 123 new ideas.
Solutions for America is the name of the missive.
Back after this.
Back after this.
Ah, where are you?
Welcome back.
Open line Friday.
Do you remember shortly after the Obama press conference, I was doing a brief recap and review.
And I happen to casually mention that he wasn't wearing his wedding ring today.
Politico now has a story on it.
Politico has a story.
POTUS goes ringless at presser.
And I just casually threw it away.
And now political's got a whole story on it.
President goes ringless at pref at presser.
Tom in Jacksonville, Florida, back to the phones.
Open line Friday.
Hello, sir.
Hey Rush, thanks for taking my call.
I have coined a new word for you.
It is Obama side.
And it is defined as electing an official that causes the social, moral, political, and economic decline or collapse of the society that elected him.
Ah, you know what?
I love that.
You went through that without one stutter.
Can you do that again?
I love that definition.
I want to make that we're sure we get this right on the website.
Go through that Obama site again.
Okay.
It is the act of electing an official that causes the social, moral, political, and economic decline or collapse of the society that elected him.
I mean, I don't think there is anything that needs to be added to that.
Well, I have renamed Achmedinejad.
To what?
Ahmed in a dinner jacket.
Ahmed in the dinner jacket.
Quit while you're ahead.
Uh Tom, thank thanks.
Thanks very much for the call.
Great to have you here on Open Line Friday.
Uh, Mike, Philadelphia.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Mr. Limbaugh.
Sir.
It's finally a pleasure to talk to you.
I'm 28 years old and I never really gave much thought to uh my no where I stood politically or anything like that.
And uh I've been listening to you for a little bit over a year now, and uh I'd just like to thank you so much for opening my eyes to where I stand politically.
It it's great to be a student of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, and um I just can't thank you enough.
I love your show.
Thank you, sir.
Wha how did you uh how did you find us a year ago?
Uh well, I mean, uh you've been in Philadelphia on on the radio for years now, and uh, you know, I've always heard heard you you know, I listened to Big Talker at the Phillies game always on there and stuff, so uh uh you know, my stepdad, he's he's a conservative.
He he he listens to you a lot and um he he pretty much turned me on to your show.
Mm-hmm.
And uh I just like I said, I'd like to thank you because you really opened my eyes and I I didn't really give much thought to where I stood and and you know, a lot of people my age were still a little young and we don't really you know, I I know a lot of my friends anyway, they don't uh they don't really care.
And you know, I've I've grown up with Democrats.
I know you know what more of them are starting to now.
And well, I'm rule of thumb's always been young people go Democrat, but that's gonna be shattered here more and more because they're c college graduate nobody talks about this.
The the unemployment rate does not include college graduates.
To be unemployed, you have to have lost a job.
The unemployment there a lot of college kids coming to be told go to school is the only route to get out, there's no job.
Not in their field anyway.
I'm I I'm talking to every one of my friends and trying to open their eyes to let them know the things that are going on right now, just I mean, uh we are so far from where our founding fathers uh you know have seen, you know, this this country when it first started was basically experimental and um t for them they were so smart to to have such a system written out and it's it's the greatest country in the world and I'm afraid that we're gonna lose it.
Well no I'd tell you if we're gonna lose it and then I would leave.
And uh we're we're not gonna lose fact I'm coming to Philadelphia.
I'm gonna be there on the uh twenty second.
Uh this month?
Yeah.
I got a uh one of my rare I mean really rarer and rarer and rarer public appearances.
Huh.
Uh rushed excellent show in Philadelphia.
What where is it, HR?
Kimmel Center.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Close it's close by.
Oh, I think you'd go even if it weren't.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like I said, uh I really enjoy your show.
I listen every day now, and I I I can't thank you enough.
You and guys like Glenn Beck.
You know, you guys you really uh that's all I listen to now.
Thank you very much, Mike.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day, and uh go Eagles.
It's a new day.
Uh Mike in Columbus, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
Uh Diddle's.
Hey, uh I'm just getting back to Jones.
I know uh probably should have ended the conversation a while back, but No, no, no.
It's Open Line Friday.
It's an opening of the conversation.
Say whatever you want to say.
Well, I just wonder how many people would be uh defending Jones if he called it art.
Well, I get your point.
Like if he was gonna burn the Koran or or just not even burn it, just sinking in a uh like a beaker of urine.
That's right, Maplethorpe, exactly.
Andres Serrano uh put a crucifix in a jar of urine, and it was on display in museums.
Was that Maplethorpe?
Now Maplethorpe was an artist.
Maplethorpe uh he's the one who threw doo doo on a painting.
Um I don't know if Maplethorpe threw uh doo doo on a painting.
It might it might have done that.
Maplethorpe had erotic art, and then there was somebody that threw elephant dung on a painting at the Brooklyn Museum.
Yeah.
I don't think that was Maplethorpe.
It might have been.
Then it was some wacko, Karen Finley, who covered herself in chocolate on stage and was paid to do it by the National Endowment for the Arts.
So we know where you're going with this.
Yeah.
Uh obviously, uh Reverend Jones not sophisticated enough to understand how to pull this off.
Get credit for it.
He's instead of doing this on the front yawn lawn of his church, and he's the rent space in the museum.
Uh Anyway, we have a uh I gotta take a brief time out.
Look at the time.
I think if Jane, if Jones does not do this, if he ends up not burning the Koran, he needs to be the first recipient of the courageous restraint medal.
Back after this.
All right, uh Robert Maplethorpe.
He had a fetish with uh whips uh in uh various orifices.
That was Mapletorpe.
He was not the doo-doo guy.
The doo-doo guy, I forget.
Doo-doo was an elephant, yeah.
The d the doo-doo person was an elephant, a woman.
Uh with uh elephant poop on the picture.
Brooklyn Museum.
I forget what it was.
Anyway, have a great weekend, folks.
