The UK Daily Mail Online.
I left Al Qaeda because they refused to pay my health care, says Osama bin Laden's former pilot.
How much you want to bet, Al Qaeda does not give their suicide bombers any retirement benefits either.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 in the email address El Rushbo at EIB net.com.
When you want to.
When we go to the phones on Friday, we sort of broom the rules.
Monday through Thursday, callers have to talk about things that I care about.
If they don't, they don't get on.
But on Friday, we broom that.
You talk about whatever you want, and if I don't care about it, I'll either act like I don't care about it or I'll fake it and act like I do.
It's a golden opportunity for all of you who think you can do this better.
Call and show us how.
800-282-2882.
If you're just joining the program, a major announcement made by me in the first hour of the program today, reverse operation chaos.
Any Democrat who believes that Hillary Clinton would make a far better president than Barack Obama and will do more to save the Democrat Party from its plunge.
Any Democrat who believes that Hillary has been screwed and shafted out of her legitimate chance to be president during the campaign of 2008.
Any Democrat who believes that the only way the party can recover from the upcoming loss of a supermajority in the House and potentially a big majority in the Senate, any Democrat who believes that those things are on tap must stay home.
Operation Reverse Chaos.
If you believe Hillary Clinton is the future of the Democrat Party, if it would make a better president, then you must stay home on November 2nd and don't vote.
Any big turnout of Democrats will solidify the Democrat Party as Obama's party and will forever, once and for all, officially end Hillary Clinton's rightful God-given quest to be president of the United States.
Many Democrats and I talked to him out there.
Many Democrats believe that Hillary Clinton would be a much stronger candidate for president in 2012.
That Hillary Clinton would not lose as many seats in the House of Representatives in the Senate as Obama will lose.
But a strong turnout for Democrats on November 2nd will solidify Obama's place in the party as the head of that party going forward, and Hillary Clinton will essentially officially be sent out to pasture.
There is no way that Mrs. Clinton could run for the nomination in 2012.
With a strong showing for Obama in the midterm elections in 2010.
Hillary Clinton's future as much as Obama's and the Democrat Party at large will in all likelihood be determined by the elections on November 2.
Very simple.
The Democrats are going to choose which horse they want to ride in 2012 by either turning out for Obama or not.
Operation Reverse Chaos.
If you Democrats care about your party, if you want to make it right for Hillary Clinton, you will stay home and not vote.
and On November 2nd.
Or even better, you will show up and vote Republican.
If the Republicans get 50 seats in the House, no deal for Hillary.
75 seats, now we're talking.
75 seats, north of 75 seats, it's Hillary's if she wants it in 2012.
12.
Speaking of the Clintons, former President Bill Clinton was in Baltimore singling out Carl Rove and the secret committees for causing a crazy food fight that's confusing voters.
Bill Clinton said all of this during a rally for the Maryland governor Martin O'Malley.
Clinton said, they're banking on you, not thinking.
They're banking on some people being so mad that facts don't matter.
Republicans only hope, Clinton said, is it on election day in 12 days, tomorrow's America, the America that showed up in 2008 will stay home.
And yesterday's America will show up, and people will be so mad it won't be like sports.
We won't be thinking the facts won't have nothing to do with it.
Here is Clinton, in effect, very cleverly, joining me in reverse Operation Chaos.
If you read between the lines here, look at Clinton, the Republicans' only hope.
What he means is Hillary's only hope.
Is that on election day in 12 days, tomorrow's America, the America that showed up in 2008 will stay home.
He wants you to stay home.
He wants you to think he's talking about Republicans.
But he's not.
He's talking about Democrats.
Yesterday's America, in Clinton's lingo, that is Republicans.
Yesterday's America will show up, and people are going to be so mad it won't be like sports.
We won't be thinking the facts won't have nothing to do with it.
That's gobbledygook.
It doesn't make any sense.
That's something David Brooks could have written.
I know how to read the stitches on the fastball.
I know how to read between the lines.
Bill Clinton is essentially insuring big Republican turnout by saying that people like you and people like me are hasbins.
We're old-fashioned.
We're antiques.
We're obsolete.
We represent the old America.
When in fact, we know that that's true.
We want to turn back the clock a year and a half.
We'd love to turn back the clock politically 20 years.
Back to the 80s.
And Clinton knows this is what we want to do.
Reverse Operation Chaos, even the Clintons are on board.
Make no mistake, Mrs. Clinton wants to be president.
Make no mistake that Bill wants her to be president.
That way he'll know where she is every night.
Make no mistake, they both want to get back in there.
Make no mistake they see a golden opportunity.
It is very rare that a president with this popularity, with this much of an elective uh electoral victory in his presidential year, loses this many seats.
This the Clinton see as a dynamic.
Opportunity.
That's right.
Exactly right.
While others are texting, I am subtexting.
I, ladies and gentlemen, reading the stitches on the fastball, reading between the lines.
A step ahead on the cutting edge.
Bill Clinton talking about the dangers of foreign money.
What Bill Clinton is saying is vote Republican Hillary's political career depends on it.
That's what Bill Clinton is saying.
Anonymous donors, Clinton's talking about.
Talk about people not thinking and facts not mattering.
He's just trying to confuse everybody.
Reverse Operation Chaos, November 2nd.
Democrats stay home.
The only way to save your party from its own Armageddon being brought about by Barack Obamadinizad.
Mrs. Clinton, you know she got screwed politically.
You know she got shafted.
You know the deck was stacked against her.
You know that it was entitled to her.
This president, you know.
Everybody knows it was her.
Obama didn't even expect to win, but they didn't figure on the press going all in for the historical aspect of the first black president.
The Clintons.
They want what is theirs.
They want what is theirs as they define what is theirs when they were both at Yale all those years ago.
Reverse Operation Chaos.
November 2nd.
The real October surprise out in the open in full view.
The views expressed by the host on this program now documented to be almost always right 99.6% of the time.
That's according to the latest opinion audit in from the Sullivan group in Sacramento, California, my adopted hometown.
Back to the phones.
Open line Friday, Richard Las Vegas, great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hey, I how you doing.
Very good, sir.
Thank you.
Yeah, I was uh you know listening to you yesterday and I tried to get through yesterday but couldn't and uh you know you you were talking about how the you know the you know Juan Williams how the liberals let him kind of like you know they don't come out to protect him and stuff when but I mean you guys do the same thing.
Um you know you don't really protect your own either wait a minute uh let's first what what did I say about Juan Williams yesterday?
Well I mean I was you know I mean just that uh you know that a lot of the liberal groups didn't come out to protect him you know oh yeah well that yeah the the Reverend Jackson the Reverend Sharpton of civil rights groups uh the usual suspects the ACLU uh did not come out and and defend one Williams' constitutional rights human rights civil rights animal rights or whatever.
You know you conservatives you know I mean you and you know Hannity and all these guys you you kind of do the same thing.
You know I mean there's there's guys around you know like I was telling your uh screener there's a guy here a teacher here in Las Vegas who um uh he ran for Congress you know as a real conservative and you know uh he's uh been a teacher for uh I think twenty years and you know they fired him because he stands up for the beliefs and and uh this Mr. Blocky guy uh you know he two years ago it's it's been going you know he's been suspended and for two years and and
You guys haven't done anything for him, and he's kind of been out there asking for help.
Nobody's done anything for him.
I go on Facebook and read about him, and he kind of keeps everybody updated and stuff.
I don't believe in a lot of things he says.
I believe in the things he talks about as far as the school system goes in that, but there's no one out helping him.
He may even lose his house.
No, no, you're misunderstanding something.
I didn't expect these people to come out and help Juan Williams.
That was the point.
We're trying to make a point here that they are hypocrites.
That's not implied they should.
No, no, then life is short, depending on whose life you're talking about.
No, I did not imply they should.
I knew they wouldn't.
I knew they would.
The point was, they're all supporting one.
Williams getting canned because he's at Fox News and now they're gonna target Mara Lyerson and others.
I mean, these people, there's no big tent.
These are the people who have the litmus test.
Yeah, I understand that.
You know, I mean, I understand what you're saying.
You kind of get the employment.
You kind of imply that they shouldn't do this, that this is their guy, and they should be for him no matter where, you know, even though he is at Fox.
You know, and I understand that thing.
But, you know, it's just, you know, the conservatives do the same thing as the liberals.
And, you know, I mean, you let guys hang out to try.
And, you know, this guy was one of your own here.
You know, I mean, gosh, he was like, you know, he was a perfect example of a conservative taking a stances.
in the school system and and gets harassed I mean uh you should read some of his blogs and the things he'd been through I mean uh and and I wasn't are you the teacher?
I was a teacher.
I'm a retired teacher.
You're not the teacher.
What do you mean the teacher?
You're not the guy that we're not helping.
No.
Okay.
No, I know him.
Like I said, I agree with the things he said.
And, you know, I'm not as conservative, obviously, as he is.
He's, you know, I'm a Democrat, and he's, you know, a real staunch Republican.
You are a Democrat?
Really?
Who knew?
Well, I mean, I'm just saying, you know, I mean you guys do the same things is you know I mean you criticize all you know the the ACLU and all those guys and and uh you know I I'm starting to feel honest again talking to you like I felt last night reading David Brooks's column, like I'm drunk.
Uh I I'm asking myself if I'm even awake.
And now I'm asking myself, do you people now understand why we don't do open line Friday every day?
Uh Gary in Minneapolis, uh welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes.
Honor speaker to Rush.
Thank you very much, sir.
Say, uh I hate to rain all over your parade, but uh Hillary is not gonna be considered for anything in two thousand twelve.
Maybe the vice president she she might get in on that, but she's not gonna get in on anything else because if that would happen, Obama would be out, they totally alienate the black vote, which is their biggest voting block that they have, they'd lose it all because they would not vote.
And uh I don't know what would happen, but I'll tell you what, he's gonna be the Democratic nominee in two thousand twelve, and who knows he might win again because uh he gets out the black vote and uh all the other weirdos out there, uh the naive people that uh don't look beyond.
Yeah, but then you're forgetting something on this.
What's that?
Uh is before Obama actually was put forth as a candidate by the media, and before Obama actually entered the race himself, Hillary had the black vote tied up.
She had it locked up.
I mean, every every black voter's gonna vote for Obama would have voted for Hillary and then do it again.
She had him because he wasn't there.
But after he came in there, where did he all go?
Right to him.
What do you think they're gonna feel like if she takes him away from them?
Yeah.
Um Gary, do you do you have a thirteen year old son named Zach?
No.
Okay.
Thanks.
You're talking about that kid you're talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just that I couldn't wait till that got over with.
Well, thank you.
Thanks, listen.
I need to throw the phone out the window here.
Yeah.
Well, we're glad you hang on out there to tell us about the black vote in Hillary.
I never thought of it that I I figure once the Democrats have a nominee, the black vote's gonna be there.
Oh, right.
But he he won't she won't have it if she takes that away from she takes their guy away.
What do you think they're gonna do?
They're gonna stay home and groves.
And and if they don't have the black vote, they all vote democratic no matter what, but they vote more democratic when they well look at Mary and Barry.
No, no, no, no.
They can't vote more Democrat than they already do.
They're already at ninety-two percent of the uh uh uh in presidential election.
Gary, thanks for the uh for the call.
Christine in Manhattan, Kansas will try you.
Uh welcome to the Thank you for serving our country the way you do, and your marriage.
Thank you very, very much.
Um a couple of weeks ago you had read two articles by two different women, and I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to right down who they were, but the first article is the one I'm referring to, and it had to do with I think at the time there were female you know, all the female candidates and and that sort of thing, but but the first article early on it made reference to um and I'm paraphrasing, but conservative as well as liberal women are disappointed in what we have gotten in Obama.
And my my rebuttal to that was speaking as a conservative woman, um I'm not disappointed at all in what I've gotten in Obama.
In fact, he's exactly what I expected, and in some areas he's even exceeded my expectations.
So it was just sort of a comment to that writer, and I failed to remember her name.
Well, wait a minute.
What you're saying is when you say you weren't disappointed, you really weren't surprised.
Because you knew what it was.
I was just disappointed to find out I was correct in my and what I was thinking I was gonna get.
Well my god, you gotta get over that.
I am never disappointed to find out I'm right.
Well, never.
You gotta that w why would you do that?
As always, you're correct.
I my my point is just, you know, it didn't really surprise me and And so I don't know who these conservative women were that she's referring to, but he's actually exceeded our expectations in some respects.
So, in a manner of speaking.
Unfortunately.
Exceeding expectations.
By the way, I, you know, I still I want to go back to the guy who denied being the father of the 13-year-old caller Zach.
Uh, Gary.
He denied it.
He didn't offer any proof, he just denied it.
We had to accept it.
But he wasn't Zach's father.
But he says the black vote, if Hillary becomes a nominee, it's basically saying reverse Operation Chaos won't work.
People forget.
Hillary Clinton was the first black first lady of this country.
She's always gonna be able to hang her head on that.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
I am the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling.
All everything, maha rushy.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, um, Operation reverse chaos.
Or reverse Operation Chaos.
The Democrat Party at a crossroads.
No party wants to see itself destroyed.
Barack Obama is destroying the Democrat Party.
I mean, how in the world do you go from a supermajority in the House of Representatives, 60 votes in the Senate, to one of the biggest potential landslide defeats when you entered the White House as essentially a messiah.
You know it, and I know it, that Democrats around the country are livid, scratching their heads, how can this be?
And they're asking themselves, did it have to be this way?
And many of them are realizing it didn't have to be this way.
It could have been Hillary.
Hillary got jobbed.
This nomination was Hillary's, and then an articulate clean black guy came along that the press happen to love more than they love Hillary and the rest is history.
The Clintons are not happy with this.
They were basically aced out.
But now they haven't lost their ambition, their desire.
They want back in there.
And many of their supporters do too.
Therefore, reverse Operation Chaos.
Either Obama or Hillary is going to control this party, and it's going to be determined on how the Democrats do on November 2nd.
If you think Hillary got jobbed, and if you think Hillary deserves to be president to run this party, the Democrat Party, you owe it to yourself to stay home or vote Republican.
For example, in Kentucky.
Vote Rand Paul.
Particularly in that race.
I mean, that Democrats in that race are embarrassing the party left and said hard to embarrass Democrats in that race, they're doing it.
And I just want you to remember.
Remember what they did to your girl.
Remember what they did to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Hillary never had to worry about being pulled over in her car as a black man driving in the wrong.
I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it.
Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home Barack was.
Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people.
Hillary can never know that.
Hillary ain't never been called a nigger.
Hillary has never had her people defined as non present.
Hillary ain't had to work twice as hard just to get accepted by the rich white folk who run everything, or to get a passing grade when you know you are smarter than that C student sitting in the White House.
Hillary ain't never had her own people say she wasn't white enough.
You remember This now.
You remember what they did to your girl.
You remember how they mistreated Hillary Clinton during the 2008 presidential run.
And then they did this.
No, he ain't.
Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky.
He was riding dirty.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright from 2007.
This is what the Obama campaign was doing to Hillary.
During her entitled presidential run.
Two years ago, Barack Obamadinizad was a messiah.
Today just a mess.
In case anybody has any doubts that Hillary still wants to be president back in May, when there was that controversy about the polls showing doubt whether Obama is a Muslim or not, Hillary artfully said, no, no, there's nothing to base that on, as far as I know.
One smart cookie.
Actually, Hillary said that during the campaign.
I take it back.
Hillary said that during the campaign, Monday, March 30th, 2008.
Hillary Clinton said, No, no, there's nothing to Obama being a Muslim.
As far as I know.
She knew.
She was starting to sow the doubts even before the Republicans were.
She was asked about the polls.
Showing doubt about whether Obama was a Muslim.
Very artful statement.
No, no, there's nothing to base that on, Hillary said, as far as I know.
Back to the phones.
James in Hearst, Texas.
Great to have you, sir.
Welcome.
Oh, hello, Russ.
Hi.
I want to get back to the issue on uh Juan Williams.
Sure.
I I'm predicting that if uh NPR doesn't kiss and make up or throw him a phone.
I think Juan Williams might start moving to the right.
What do you think?
There's no reason for Juan Williams to have to move to the right now.
Just a little bit.
No, he doesn't have to slap.
No, no, no, no.
He doesn't have to move to the right.
Why?
Why would he have to move to the right?
He just got a two-year extension from Fox, a couple million dollars.
And notice how Fox made that public real quick yesterday afternoon.
Ha!
I wonder how many other people Fox are not making two million and going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what happened here?
But that's another thing.
Right.
But you don't feel that any bad blood that his comments might just be a little not so far left.
Uh no, I don't think bad blood that his comments might be.
No, no, no, no.
I don't.
I think Juan believes he's perfectly positioned where he is.
He doesn't have to change anything.
Okay.
No.
It was just the thought that I've seen sometimes when people have bad blood.
They'll take the other side a little bit and uh run with it.
Look at I think he gave that a shot yesterday, um a couple days ago, whenever it was a day's run together.
I think when he went on Fox in the morning and accused the Tea Party people being racist, I think he was trying to save his job at uh in NPR, but it didn't work.
And I don't expect NPR to now do a Maya culpa come down.
That that's not gonna happen.
There are other reasons why this did happen.
In fact, what was probably happening now, folks, is a lot of schlubs over at NPR are now trying to figure out what they can do.
They get fired and then hired for two million dollars at Fox.
That's what's happening.
Yes, and we're back on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network from the Limbaugh Institute.
For advanced conservative studies, the largest free education institution known to exist in the free or oppressed world.
There are no graduates.
There are no degrees because the learning never stops.
Mega did us, Rush.
You turn me from a lib to a conservative.
Thank you.
Now, I'm gonna take it to the woodshed.
I say no to reverse Operation Chaos and explain why, please.
I do not want Hillary Clinton getting any kind of an advantage because she is as bad as Obama, just a little bit slicker.
And we don't want her in 2012.
Well, we may not, but reverse Operation Chaos is about what the Democrats want.
Well, so why are we playing to them?
We have to crush them.
It's like the great man says Mark Levin.
You don't compromise with evil, you crush it.
Well, that's exactly what's going on here.
Well, yeah, but Rush in O eight you ran Operation Chaos trying to keep Obama out, and guess what happened?
He hit um no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait a second.
Wait a second.
The purp the purpose of Operation Chaos was not to keep Obama out.
You do not understand the purpose of Operation Chaos.
And I you may then not understand the uh purpose of reverse Operation Chaos.
Now right now, George Soros is trying to figure out who does he have to pay to get me fired.
And he can't.
He'd have to find a way to pay me to fire myself.
That's what Soros is trying to do.
Uh but you know, you're you're you you th your your your your theory here this is like paying the Taliban to take on Al Qaeda.
This is not what we're trying to do here.
It will become clear as the days unfold uh before your very eyes.
Jim in Fort Lauderdale on open line Friday.
Welcome, sir.
Thank you, Rush, for taking my call at you.
I predicted this, Josh.
She will be.
She will, she has to be.
This man is a complete, complete disaster for the country.
The Democrats that I do speak to in the book and that's the.
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The Democrats want a disaster for the country.
This is no, no, no.
They're not gonna let him do this.
She's gonna get sick.
Some mean excuse that the Democrats pull every time he's going to pull out.
He cannot, he cannot.
The man isn't incompetent.
He does not have the ability.
He's way, way over his head, Rush.
Over his head.
Whoa.
Over his head.
I would love to have been as successful in 20 months doing what Ob I wanted to do as Obama has been.
But the people are not behind him.
The train of game doesn't care for the left and the right.
They're saying the media's even saying it's a good thing.
He doesn't care.
He doesn't.
He doesn't care where the people are behind him.
He knows he's happy that they're not behind him.
Obama is if he looks through that teleprompter every day, and whatever he sees besides the words, he sees a royal and upset American public, and he goes, That's exactly what I want.
I can see, ladies and gentlemen, that um much teaching remains.
Much instruction and patience on my part is uh is called for.
Jack?
Nope.
Sorry, James.
Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, uh, listen, I have a different theory on on who the Democrats are going to nominate for president next time.
And uh it's a military guy, he's black.
Uh he was tricked by the Bush administration.
He gets he can get praise for changing parties, and he can say that the Republican Party won't isn't big enough for him because he's a black uh candidate.
Who do you think it is?
You obviously are talking about General Powell.
That's right.
You think a Democrats will nominate General Powell rather than uh renominate President Obama.
Well, it's a theory, you know.
Yeah.
Well, what makes you you you think General Powell would change parties first?
Well, why not?
I mean, it what's what's he got to lose, you know.
And and you know, the last time uh it was considered it w uh uh as I recall it was his wife didn't want him to run that he wasn't gonna be able to.
Wait a minute now.
That's a good question.
I would I would posit That the press loves him more and he knows this as a Republican than if he became a Democrat.
Yeah, but if he becomes a Democrat, I mean he's he's found redemption now.
He's not a Republican.
No, no, no.
more valuable to the press as somebody sabotaging the Republican Party as a Republican than joining the mix as a Democrat.
I don't think I don't think General Powell's wife has changed her mind about him running either.
She she didn't want him running uh at all.
And I I um I don't think that he does, but I know we know that Mrs. Hillary um Mrs. Clinton does.
I mean, she's still dreaming about it.
She still sees herself sitting there in the Oval Office.
There's no question about it.
And so does Bill.
Same thing.
Sharon St. Augustine, Florida, Open Line Friday, your next hello.
Hey, Rush, little nervous because I'm talking to the king of radio and conservative conservatism.
Um, but as a senior citizen, I just can't wait to get Obama's two hundred and fifty dollar check so I can send it to my local tea party so they can house him out of it.
Your cost of living adjustment increase that you're otherwise wouldn't get.
Right.
They say that there is no cost of uh living uh right now for you know, raising.
And uh so you know the Congress is getting their raises, but we're not.
And if you go and press uh price all of the food in the food market, if they're about three or four ounces less, they charge the same, but they're taking the ounces down, and uh rents have gone up and so forth.
So I'll be just glad to take that 250 and put it in a good place.
I know this is the uh the great recovery that has been spawned by Obama's marvelous economic policies.
Thanks, Sharon, for the phone call.
Appreciate it.
Uh this is from the Nationaljournal.com, the hotline bunch, Matthew Cooper.
Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell rarely agree, but this week in separate interviews, both the president and the Senate minority leader called for humility.
As the two parties prepare for the election and its aftermath.
The uh president and Mitch McConnell have a reason to be sympatico, each faces an uncertain political landscape after the November elections.
Obama's party seems certain to lose seats in Congress, and as many analysts predict, control of the House.
That'll make it all but impossible for the president to promote further ambitious expansions of government like his health care legislation.
Likewise, McConnell's likely to remain the minority leader in the Senate, despite Republican hopes of overturning that chamber.
He may have more power to stymie legislation, but it'll be very hard for him to get anything passed.
In an exclusive interview with the National Journal, Obama took a conciliatory tone toward the same Republicans that he has been lamb-basting on the campaign trail.
And the president even sounded a cautionary note for his fellow Democrats.
It's going to be important for Democrats to have a proper and appropriate sense of humility about what we can accomplish in the absence of Republican cooperation.
So look at what we have here.
We have Republican leadership saying we're not going to have that much power.
We expect the president to move in our direction, to pivot in our direction.
Because he's going to see the American people profoundly rejecting his ideas.
We have Obama saying it's going to be important for the Democrats to have a proper, appropriate sense of humility about what we can accomplish.
So essentially, if we are to take everybody here at face value.
Both McConnell, as quoted in the National Journal, and Obama quoted in the National Journal, both Obama and McConnell are telling their respective followers, hey, don't have these high expectations.
We can't do anything.
We're not going to be able to get anything done.
This, my friends, is a setup from the White House and the Obama team of the first order.
I gotta take a brief time out.
We'll come back.
We will continue.
Fastest three hours in media.
Only one to go here on Open Line Friday.
