Time Text
It's the Rush Schlimbaugh program.
Mind over chattel.
Starting a million conversations with every busy broadcast.
And it is Friday, so let her rip live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
And you know the drill.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And when we go to the phones, whatever you wish to talk about is fine.
Feel free and have at it.
Now, one more thing on this business of people being embarrassed over Tea Party people and candidates.
The thing that really, of all the irritating aspects of it, the thing that grates on me the most is that the people that come up to me and say they're embarrassed of Palin don't even know her.
They're simply reacting to what the media is saying about her.
And these are people who claim to also hate the media.
These are people who understand the media, makes things up, especially about conservatives.
These are people that understand the media lies about conservatives, does their best to destroy the reputations of conservatives to impugn them.
And yet somehow they forget all that.
Media comes out and does a little hit piece on Carl Palladino or Christine O'Donnell.
And for some reason, all of a sudden the media is right.
Yeah, yeah, I see.
People are really embarrassed.
You know, I had somebody ask me the other day, Rush, what do you think of Carl or what do you think of Christine O'Donnell?
I said, we got to reduce Obamacare is what I think of Christine O'Donnell.
We got to stop this.
We got to get people back to work.
We got to cut taxes.
And we have got to reverse Obamaomics.
We have got to get rid of this administration and people running this country.
That's what I think of Christine O'Donnell.
What do you think of Sarah Palin?
We have got to overturn health care.
We have got to return Obamacare.
We got to repeal it.
We have got to stop these massive tax increases that are coming.
We have got to once again invest in the growth sector of this country.
That's what I think of Sarah Palin.
What do you think of Carl Palladino?
I think we've got to repeal health care.
I think we have got to lower taxes.
I think we've got to do something to inspire people to once again believe their country is great.
That's what I think of Carl Palladino.
That's what it boils down to to me.
What do you think of John Edwards?
What does it matter what I think of John Edwards?
He's a liberal.
They lie.
Every one of them are hypocritical crooks and frauds.
The vast majority of them.
We know this.
I don't see where the choice is.
I don't see where it's debatable.
We can't have people sit there and agree that the country is going to hell in a handbasket being driven there on purpose and then get into the fine points of whether or not somebody who disagrees and wants to stop this disaster from happening embarrasses us.
Exactly.
What do you think of Obama?
What are you, Pelosi, for crying out loud?
Why don't you turn around and ask the Democrats if they're not embarrassed at Harry Reid or John Edwards?
I mean, how many Tea Party people have driven a car off a bridge and a woman died?
How many Tea Party people go out and buy a $7 million yacht in Australia and try to register in another state that they don't live in to save half a million dollars in taxes?
Tell me the Tea Party people doing this.
I don't see where the problem, I really, and when I realize that people asking me and criticizing all of these Tea Party people are simply reacting to what the media is saying about them, that's like the icing on the cake to me.
You really want to believe the media?
That probably is the most frustrating thing to me right now.
Everybody knows the media is simply the Democrat Party.
Everybody knows the media.
So, wouldn't you expect the Democrats, Katie Couric, and the rest, to try to embarrass all these Tea Party people?
So, what does it matter what they say about our people?
What does it matter?
Let me turn it around.
Why are you insistent that Katie Couric like our candidates?
Why is that the deciding factor?
Why are you hoping and praying that Chris Matthews says good things about our guys?
Why are you hoping and praying that Christiana Monport, take your pick, Bob Schieffer, Diane Sawyer?
Why does it matter what they say about us when in the normal course of events you don't like them either and you get mad at what they say about others?
It's, as the phrase goes, time to man up.
Now, let me illustrate this with some audio soundbites.
Last night, NBC nightly news, Brian Williams reporting this about the New York Republican gubernatorial candidate, Carl Palladino.
Opponents of the GOP nominee for governor of New York are saying he behaved like a thug.
Okay, so here we have a state-controlled media saying opponents of Palladino are saying he behaved like a thug.
What happened?
Well, somebody in the media took a camera into his house, to his house, and poked the winds into the window to catch his 10-year-old daughter doing something.
They're constantly asking Carl Palladino about his so-called private life, extracurricular activities.
He said, Why are you asking, why don't you ask Andrew Cuomo about his?
And that ended up being Carl Palladino accusing Andrew Cuomo of having affairs, which Palladino said, I didn't accuse them of that.
That's not what I'm saying.
But where's the equal treatment?
You're going to ask me about all the baggage in my life.
What about his?
Why don't you go ask him?
He's damn right about it.
Okay, so NBC Nightly News opponents of the GOP nominee for governor of New York say he behaved like a thug.
Let's go back to me, this program, November 5th, 2008, talking about the incoming chief of staff, Rom Emmanuel.
He is a good old-fashioned Chicago thug, just like Obama is a good old-fashioned Chicago thug.
On the night of the Clinton election, Rom Emmanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign.
Rom Emmanuel grabbed a steak knife and he began rattling off a list of betrayers.
And as he listed their names, he shouted, dead, dead, dead, and he plunged the stake knife into the table after every name.
This is not a bunch of people that are going to govern from the center.
These are left-wing extremists.
They are radicals.
Now, we have just had Brian Williams say opponents of Palladino are calling him a thug.
And here's a soundbite of me calling Rom Emmanuel a thug.
That's November 2008, November 5th, four days later.
CNN's reliable sources, NPR's Tell Me More host, Michelle Martin, said this about media coverage of Obama.
For every Chris Matthews, there's a Rush Limbaugh who called the new incoming chief of staff and the president elect thugs.
Right.
So it's okay for Brian Williams to quote people calling Carl Palladino a thug.
That makes him a thug.
Carl Palladino's a thug.
He said so on NBC.
And of course, opponents of Palladino said he's a thug, and that makes him a thug.
It makes it right.
I call Emmanuel a thug, and they're offended, and they're outraged.
How dare this be said about the clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, Rom Emmanuel.
Same month, same year, November 6th, November 7th, 2008, we have a montage of media people talking about Rom Emmanuel in a positive, laudatory way.
Rah Emmanuel, a Washington veteran known for sharp elbows.
A masterful politician with very sharp elbows.
Sharp political elbows.
I hope he takes his partisan elbows and keeps them close by his body.
He has sharp political instincts and sharp elbows.
You mentioned sharp elbows.
A reputation for a sharp elbows.
Carl Palladino does not have sharp elbows.
He's a thug.
But Rom Emmanuel, plunging steak knife into a table after mentioning every name, dead, dead, dead.
He's got sharp elbows.
He's a brilliant political tactician.
Sharp elbows.
Get all upset when I call Rahm Emmanuel a thug.
Last night and this morning, we have a montage of various media people talking about a shake-up at the White House.
The White House on the verge of a new shake-up.
Shake things up.
A shake-up at the White House.
Shake things up in the West Wing.
They're shaking things up.
What are they talking about?
Rah Emmanuel leaving, going back to Chicago to run for mayor.
So they're shaking things up at the Obama White House.
March 28, 2006, montage media talking about Bush changes in his administration.
Is this a shake-up or is this just rearranging the deck chairs?
Like rearranging the deck chairs, not really a major shake-up.
Simply rearranging the deck chairs.
The president of the United States needed to rearrange the chairs.
You're basically just moving the chairs in different directions.
So a little shake-up when they get rid of Rah Emmanuel rearranging the deck chairs.
That means on the Titanic when discussing changes at the Bush administration.
So thug Carl Palladino, definitely.
Brian Williams said so because opponents of Carl Palladino call him a thug.
I call Emmanuel a thug.
He really is one.
And they're shocked and outraged.
How dare this be said?
He's only got sharp elbows.
And this is just, you know, a shake-up.
The White House, no big deal.
When Bush gets rid of his chief of staff, it's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Imagine, ladies and gentlemen, if Sarah Palin had done one of the things Charlie Wrangell has done.
Imagine.
Imagine that Christine O'Donnell had done or said just one of the things Maxine Waters has done.
Say what you want about Rah Emmanuel.
He had the sense to call his fellow liberals effing retarded.
He used the R word effing retards talking about his own people.
Nobody was really upset about that.
Then he had good grace to apologize to the mentally handicapped for the comparison.
Didn't want to insult the mentally handicapped by saying they were just like Democrats.
Never mind that the guy replacing Rah Emmanuel was Obama's chief of staff when he was a U.S. Senator, Peter Rouse.
Also a thug.
Even bigger thug, he works behind the scenes.
He doesn't care for publicity like Rah does.
So you see, folks, as far as the media is concerned, everything the Democrats do, brilliant, forward-thinking, very strategic.
Not so when the Republicans do it.
So when media wants to sit out there and impugn people on our side, that's why I get a little frustrated when people on our side all of a sudden start believing the media.
Because there's one thing, and a lot of things irritate.
Like I got one of my biggest pet peeves is throwing something in a trash can and missing it, especially when it's just two feet away.
That rubs me.
What am I doing?
I'm trying to throw something away to have to do it twice is to me the biggest waste of time.
I get so mad at myself.
If I miss the trash can, I can't hit it.
The second thing, pet peeve that I have is people obsessed with what other people think of them, especially people obsessed with what the media think of us or what the Democrats think of us.
I just, I can't, I can barely maintain my composure when people tell me things like that.
It's okay.
You want their respect.
Go do what it's going to take to get it.
What do you think that is?
What do you think it's going to take to have the media say good things about us?
I'll tell you, McCain.
And how many of you liked him?
Okay, phone calls coming up.
It's open line Friday.
We'll get to all of it after this.
Why, Tay, how about that Meg Whitman?
How about the abuse that she heaped on that illegal maid of hers?
How about the abuse?
Do you know she was abusing that maid to the tune of $23 an hour?
That's $920 a week.
That's about $48,000 a year for nine years.
And that maid, Ms. Diaz, she was just taking the abuse that American citizens won't take.
Amazing abuse.
We said earlier today that Osama bin Laden, who, if he would shave his beard and get rid of the Imam cap, could run as a Democrat, get elected anywhere in this country.
If he ran in Michigan, he wouldn't have to shave the beard.
He got elected in Michigan with the Imam cap and with the beard.
He's out there saying global warming is killing more people in wars.
Global warming, the single issue of our time.
Last night in Tampa, at a Kendrick Meek for Senate campaign rally, here is vice perpetrator Al Gore.
Have you noticed what happened in Pakistan with those big downpours?
Nothing like that's ever happened there before.
Before that happened, one of their cities had a temperature of 129 degrees.
All-time record.
How come the way Al Gore speaks doesn't embarrass anybody?
Did you hear that?
Before that happened, one of our cities had a temperature 129 degrees.
All-time record.
He sounds like an absolute hick.
How come you're not embarrassed to Al Gore?
How come you're not embarrassed to Al Gore because he's dead wrong, dangerously so as a blithering idiot?
And now he's parroting Osama bin Laden.
Global warming, Pakistan.
To the phones, Rick in Chicago.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Rush, what an honor.
I'm trapped halfway in between the People's Republic of Chicago and the boyhood home of the only true Illinois president, Ronaldos Magnus.
So people remember Illinois for that as well.
I am on the same page with you today.
I had to respond to a friend who sent me a leftover Palin joke from the 2008 election, which I won't even bear going into.
I wrote him a scathing four-paragraph response because I think he's smarter than that and that he shouldn't even be disseminating such garbage.
But I just essentially told him this should be a Biden joke, that the misconception that Palin has challenged was, as you said, Katie Couric and the Saturday Night Live lunch who he didn't mention.
Yeah, you know what?
You have to tell your buddy what makes a Palin joke fashionable is a media that he probably doesn't even like.
Absolutely right.
Weren't for the media making fun of her, these people wouldn't be.
If the media were lauding her as something brilliant to come down the pike, everybody'd love her.
And the people on our side who are suspicious of the media anyway falling prey to the media, I can't tell you how frustrating that ticks me.
Off well Palines.
I want to reach out and choke people into reality.
I want to grab them by the throat and say, would you please wake up and stop this arrogant condescension.
Who the hell are you?
You know go, do one thing.
She's done.
Let me see your background.
Let me see how many illegitimate kids you've got.
I want to see all of your du eyes.
I want to see the media following you around every day, unturning every rock in your life.
I want to see how you like it.
I want to see how you deal with it.
I want to see how you deal it when people tell you that you embarrass them.
During the campaign, that were far more penetrating than what was thought to ask Biden or, far worse, what they thought to even ask Obama, and that's why we're in the condition we're in.
If you ask Obama.
Sarah Palin has never told a guy in a wheelchair, stand up, Chuck.
Oh, go.
Oh, my God.
Choke, God bless you.
Well, stand up for Chuck.
Sarah Palin has never looked at a poor guy in a wheelchair and says, stand up.
Joe Biden does.
Joe Biden is a walking gaff.
Thank God he's a funny gaff.
Zach in Bourbon A. Illinois.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Awesome, Rush.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Mega Dittos from Bill Brady Country.
Thank you.
I can't believe I'm talking to you right now.
I wanted to know, I've listened to you for probably 10 years, and I know that you know Clarence Thomas on a personal level.
I love how the liberals can't stand him.
I just wanted to see if you could give any kind of personal insight on what it's like to hang out with him.
Personal insight on what it's like to hang out with Clarence Thomas.
Well, I don't think that you don't think you would ever meet anybody with a more infectious laugh.
I think that you would be stunned.
You would not find an angry, broken man.
You would find someone who loves life, is thrilled and honored to be an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
You would find somebody who's well-adjusted and happy, loves his wife, has a lot of hobbies.
One of his favorite things to do, he's got a big bus, like an RV bus.
And during court breaks, he gets in it.
And he and his wife tool around all over the country.
And they stop at RV parks and state fairs.
They stop at places where real people happen to gather.
He might even stop at a Walmart and go in, might even go into a Costco, and people come up to him all the time and say, you know, you look like Clarence Thomas.
And he just laughs at them, tells them that he is.
You wouldn't find a more genuine, real guy.
And when the situation calls for sincerity, you get it.
And you wouldn't find anybody smarter either.
It's a thrill to know him.
It's a lot of fun to hang around him.
That's right.
Abraham, your mom Obama took a while to free the slaves out there.
You know, maybe Obama can make Bin Laden his climate czar.
Well, he's spouting the Obama tune on all of this.
Jay in Scottdale, Pennsylvania, your next Open Line Friday High.
Hi, Rush.
What a pleasure to talk to you, sir.
Thanks for all you do.
Just one quick point.
You were talking about the strategy with the Democrats and things like that.
I personally believe that Ron Emmanuel is going to go be mayor in Chicago to get him experience of running government.
And he'll probably be the next candidate after Obama if they rig the election and put him in office again.
Oh, you think Ron's going to run for president?
Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
It wouldn't.
Well, how do you feel about it?
Because frankly, I couldn't care less what Rob Emmanuel does, but how do you feel about him running for president?
I'm not enamored of Robin.
Rob Emmanuel's 5'4 ⁇ .
He was a ballerina.
I don't care.
I don't give a ratch rear in.
Okay, so the media wants to spend two hours today on Ron Emmanuel resigning.
Everybody knew it was going to happen.
I don't care.
Let him go me mayor of Chicago.
Why should we care about Rob Emmanuel?
I'm not getting mad at you, Jay, for caring about Rob Emmanuel.
I just don't.
I don't care what any of these people do except lose.
I want them to lose.
Now, he's not going to lose running for mayor of Chicago, probably.
Well, some Democrat's going to be mayor of Chicago.
Not Rom, it's going to be, it's going to be somebody.
Let him run for president.
Fine and dandy with me.
Oliver in Lindenhurst, New Jersey.
Is it New Jersey or New York?
It's New York.
New York.
How are you, sir?
Very good.
Thanks a lot for having me on.
I enjoy listening to your show.
I try to listen every day.
Thank you very much.
I was just calling because the other day you had been talking about Darwinism.
And, you know, you mentioned the survival of the fittest thing.
And you were saying that it was a circular argument.
But, you know, Darwin actually, he never said survival of the fittest.
And so, you know, it's not really a circular argument.
I mean, he does give a lot of evidence for his position in his book.
Right.
Yeah, there are a lot of hot buttons out there.
One of them is Darwin.
All I have to do is say Darwin.
I don't care what follows.
I get loads of email from people ripping me.
Whenever I say, oh, you wouldn't believe it, Snerdley.
My email this week had been overflowing with people.
I shocked.
I was shocked.
I thought you were a reasonably intelligent man.
I am a subscriber to your website and I have been listening to you for 20 years.
But I can't believe how uninformed and embarrassing you are on Darwin.
And all I said was, Charles Darwin and Karl Marx are responsible for more deaths than even global warming.
And man, survival of the fittest, maybe Darwin didn't say, you know, frankly, I don't care about Darwin either.
As far as I'm going to say, Darwin's corrupt, and everybody believes in Darwinism is corrupt, and they present a problem.
Well, somebody thinks he said survival of the fittest, and so they're running around saying so.
So all I said was, we know that liberals love Darwin.
Liberals love anything that allows them to say there's no God.
Liberals will go anywhere and support anything if they can use it to say there's no God.
Okay, fine.
Then they come up and they say survival of the fittest.
Fine and dandy.
Well, then why don't they let survival of the fittest rule in American society?
They love Darwin and they love survival of the fittest except when it comes to America.
Now they want equality of outcomes.
They don't want survival of the fittest.
They want survival of the incompetence.
In fact, they want the incompetence to triumph over the competent.
They want the incompetent, the incapable, the stupid to triumph over the genuine creators of wealth and the entrepreneurs.
And that's what's wrong with these people.
And if Darwin helps them get there, then they'll use it.
And man, I'm telling you, this guy calls and asks me about Darwin evolution or whatever.
I told him what I think.
My email was just overflowing.
I almost had to get a satellite account to handle the overflow, Snerdley.
And it's all every one of them.
Arrogant kind of says, I can't believe how stupid you are.
I had so much invested in your belief and your intelligence that you really need to re-examine what you think about Darwinism.
This is one of those, these people believe in Darwin are no different than people who have faith in Jesus Christ or Mohammed or what have you.
It's fascinating.
Excuse me for the cough.
Still, I'm on the verge here of getting rid of this cold.
Who's next?
Pat in Chicago.
You're next on the EIB network Openline Friday.
Hello.
Oh, what a pleasure it is to talk to you.
Thank you.
Congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you very much.
I could have kept up with my walker, though.
But you've got a gem for a wife.
Question, I'm very, not a question, a comment.
I'm really proud to be a conservative, a Republican.
I'm proud to be linked to the Tea Party, opposed to the Democrats being linked to the progressives.
It's not your daddy's Democratic Party anymore.
It's the progressives that are...
I'm embarrassed for the Democrats, and I'm embarrassed for the media, because they don't get it.
They're being the people that are being led by these progressives, evidenced by the rally that's coming up this weekend, openly, openly being sponsored by communist parties, by socialists everywhere.
Wait a minute now.
Why do you think, why are you embarrassed for the media because you think they're being hoodwinked by these people?
I mean, they are.
I'm embarrassed for them because they're so stupid.
They're not, well, I mean, stupid is relatively, but they're part of it.
I mean, they're not being hoodwinked by these Marxists and socialists and communists.
They're part of the club.
Well, I guess it's an underlying faith that they're Americans, too.
And this is all being very anti-American.
It's not working anywhere, anywhere in this world.
Progressive and socialism has not worked any place in this world, and we're running down the aisle towards it.
I don't get it.
I'm crazy over this stuff.
Well, I know.
See, the problem, you're trying to understand irrational people in a rational way.
You're trying to attach rationality to them when it's not possible.
It's like trying to make sense of the insane.
I mean, because everything you said is correct.
It hasn't worked anywhere.
These people are living on a theory.
And the way they deal with it, the way they deal with the reality it's never worked is, well, of course it hasn't.
It hasn't been tried by the right people, us.
That's what Obama meant was.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.
Finally, Marxism, communism is going to work because we're going to be able to print the money necessary to make it happen.
And it's, it doesn't work.
But it's, I don't know, hope.
These people live in a dreamland.
Mostly, Pat, they're self-loathing too.
They don't like themselves.
They understand that their lives are worthless and meaningless in and of themselves.
They haven't amounted to anything.
So they attach themselves to a cause like this to make themselves feel like they matter.
It's why global warming attracts so many people.
I mean, you have people really, it may sound like a cruel thing to say, but the truth is the truth.
There are a lot of people whose lives are worthless because they waste them.
A lot of people who live with the fear that their lives don't matter.
Rather, I put it that way, Snertley.
Sounds a bit better.
Okay, sounds a bit better.
People who think their lives are worthless.
People who think their lives don't matter.
So latch onto a cause simply by supporting it makes them think their lives matter.
They'll put on a ribbon and say they matter.
They're more important and they have more compassion than you do.
Look, I'm wearing this ribbon.
I'm a better person than you are.
I'm driving this hybrid.
I'm a better person than you are.
I'm saving the planet.
You're destroying it.
I'm a good person.
I care more than you do.
Then they go home and they sit there and they wallow in their own self-imposed irrelevance and they are suckers for causes.
So you have people that come along that want to get rich off of them, like the global warming crowd.
It's classic.
Okay, so you tell a bunch of people who think their lives are meaningless, that they are destroying the planet.
But, but, but collectively destroying the planet.
But, but, but there's redemption.
You can save the planet.
You have to get rid of light bulbs to replace them.
You have to start driving little lawnmowers.
You have to support every tenant of liberalism and the global warming belief.
You have to accept the notion that you're killing the polar bears, but you can save them.
And once you alter your life to save the polar bears, then you can get on everybody else for killing them.
And then you really matter because you're saving the polar bears, everybody else is killing them.
You're saving the whales.
You're saving the baby seals.
You're saving the pandas, whatever.
You're saving it all.
You're saving the world.
And you're willing to pay higher taxes.
You're willing to sacrifice.
And Ergo, you now feel like your life has meaning.
You made a difference.
Everybody wants to think they made a difference.
You ever run into people like that?
I'm sure you run into them now.
Little Johnny, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Well, I don't know, but I want to make a difference, mom.
Well, good little Johnny.
Realize Hitler made a difference.
Pol Pot made a difference.
Mussolini made a difference.
Fidel Castro is making a difference.
That's not what I mean.
I want to make a good difference.
Well, fine.
And then after that, you don't have to do anything to feel good about yourself.
You just have to say you want to make a difference, and all of a sudden you're a good, good person.
Let me find something in the stack here.
Speaking of global warming, again, to illustrate the point that I just made.
You know, American Spectator blog Paul Chesser from this morning's edition of the Washington Examiner's week-long series on big green.
The median salary among all 15 of the highest paid big green environmental officials.
And this is the nonprofits like the Environmental Defense Fund, the Nature Conservancy, etc.
The average, the median salary among all 15 of these people, $261,295.
The median total compensation for the 15 is $308,000.
Now, these are the leaders of the groups who constantly wail that nature is under unrelenting assault from big oil, whose money and influence, they say, is the Goliath to their David.
Big green opposition nonprofits analyzed by the Washington Examiner include American Enterprise Institute, Cato Institute, Concerned Women for America, Americans for Prosperity, Americans of Tax Reform, blah blah blah.
An examiner analysis found a median salary of $228,000 among the opposition groups, nearly $33,000 less than the green groups.
The point is green's a color of trees, and more importantly, it's a color of money.
The CEOs of the top 15 greeny nonprofits are doing quite well.
And how do they do it?
They fundraise.
They sit around in their offices and they fundraise and they go to these people who have meaningless lives, think they have meaningless lives.
Hey, meaningless life guy, you want to really matter?
Send us money.
Save X.
And so Meaningless Life Guy sends in what he can, and the CEO siphons 10 or 15, 20% of it, pays himself.
Everybody feels hunky-dory.
No work is being done.
Nothing's being produced.
In fact, things are being destroyed.
There's a lot of green in the environment.
It's all follow the money.
Everything's about getting money without working.
I got to take a break.
I just noticed I'm three minutes long in this segment, too.
Look at this.
Now, this is a Wall Street Journal, a little Wall Street Journal blurb from Paris.
General Motors Company, Obama Motors, will launch a new line of full-size SUVs several years ahead of schedule in an effort to put the highly profitable trucks on sale as quickly as possible and make up for delays caused by the automakers' financial turmoil in recent years.
Made-over versions of Obama Motors' large SUVs, including a Chevy Tahoe, the GMC Yukon, slated to launch in 2014, just a year after GM plans to launch a new full-size pickup trucks.
Now, what is this?
I thought for us here to make a Nevault and only cheap little things that nobody wants to drive and are going full-size SUVs over there.
Obama Motors in Europe.
Jeff in Zanesville, Ohio.
Great to have you.
Open line Friday.
Welcome.
How are you, sir?
Very good.
Excellent.
Hey, what's your take on the NFL, the Players Union, and a debacle that continually persists?
Which debacle?
You mean the ongoing disagreement over collective bargaining agreement?
Well, not only that, with the 18-game schedule and the like.
I think I'm all for the 18-game schedule.
I like it.
Why do you think the players are against that?
Well, the dirty little secret is it's a done deal.
It's going to happen.
The 18-game schedule is already in the current collective bargaining agreement.
It's already been, it's in there.
And this, now, the CBA currently expires on March 1st, but they've already agreed to it.
It's already in the provision to go to 18 games in a regular schedule is already there.
And it's going to happen.
Dirty little secret here, Jeff.
You know, I'm a powerful, influential member of the media.
I know countless big people in the NFL.
This has been a fait accompl play for three years now.
Don't doubt me.
All this is just PR hype being drummed up here right now, the fan interest of economic time.
You take a look here.
The Oakland Raiders are going to have their ninth straight blackout.
Tampa Bay is going to be blacked out.
A couple other teams of Charger is going to be blacked out.
Economy is taking its toll at stadiums in the NFL, taking its toll at NFL properties.
18 games?
Damn right it's going to happen.
Well, I just wish that the NFL players would be like a Jack Lambert.
You know, I just wish they would be complete, complete onslaught from the early 70s football like Jack Lambert.
Chickifications happened in the NFL throughout the rest of society.
There aren't any Jack Lamberts in it.
Maybe Ray Lewis, James Harrison of the Steelers, Farrier.
But there aren't that.
I wish I had more time there, but I really gotta.
So I get grief about Darwin.
Now I'm getting grief about Family Guy.
That's never gonna end.
The Family Guy.
Go to rushlimbaugh.com and look at the trailer two and a half minutes.
It's funny.
