Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Here, we built the glitches in for version 1.0 so we can show improvement real fast.
It's smart marketing.
You put glitches in there and fix them, and then you go to version 1.1.
Hey, folks, it's Rush Limbaugh, and this is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and this is our last program.
Well, mine of the year.
And so we're going to do Open Line Friday on Tuesday today.
Snerdly, what you're doing?
Two hours, you're going to catch a plane?
Snerdley is going to go up to New York.
He's going to screen for Stein tomorrow up in New York.
HR will be doing the last hour screening today, but it's open line Friday and Tuesday.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And the email address, lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
The live streaming is, all right.
We've been waiting.
I've been wanting to tell you about this for the last couple of weeks, but we couldn't.
We weren't ready to release it because it was perfect.
And you never want to release anything perfect.
So we had to build in a couple of glitches.
But our iPhone app is now up and running and free for all of you who are subscribers at Rush 24-7.
It's in the Apple App Store, the iPhone App Store under Rush Limbaugh.
And right now, you can live stream today's DittoCam, any live stream during the program.
Stream it right to your iPhone or your iPad.
Here's the glitch.
Right now, it's just an iPhone app, but we have built in Retina code.
So if you use it on your iPad, hit the 2X button after the video starts, and it'll expand to fill the iPad screen without any loss of resolution on the video that's streamed.
There will be some loss of resolution on the graphics, but you're not getting this for the graphics.
You're getting this for the audio and the video.
And the 2X button, this is the glitch, the 2X button, and we built this in.
The 2X button will not work until after you start the video.
This is on your iPad.
If you sit there and you punch that 2X button and nothing happens like I did, they said, well, yeah, well, we built that in so that we have something we can improve pretty quick, version 1.1.
So it's not 24-7.
It's not DittoCamera.
It's just listed at Rush Limbaugh in the App Store.
It's up and running.
And it's our first version.
It is designed exclusively for the Rush 24-7 subscriber.
It is free to everybody.
But if you're not a subscriber, it won't do you any good.
You won't be able to get any content on it.
You have to be a subscriber.
Those of you who already are subscribers and waiting for this compelling reason to become one, here's what the app features.
You can watch the program live on the DittoCam from your iPhone or iPad.
Remember, if you do it on the iPad, hit the 2X button after the video stream starts and it will expand.
You'll be able to see every morning update every day that it is provided in the morning.
Actually, the morning update goes up 30 minutes, 45 minutes after the program.
It's the morning radio commentary that airs on all of our radio stations, but we do it in video as well.
And that'll be viewable on the app as well.
You'll be able to see a transcript of each program so that the words will live on not in ether.
You'll be able to actually read the wisdom that you have heard on this program.
You will be able to see the program on a delayed and archived basis in a video feed available, meaning all the past morning updates, all of the past radio programs.
There are a lot of other video features, such as we got a couple of Haney Project promos that are up.
So my TV show audio from back in the 90s, my appearance with Tim Russert and Tom Broco on election night coverage in 2002.
And this also has a list of all of our stations, all of our affiliates constantly updated.
So if you're traveling from home and looking for a different EIB affiliate, the app will have that for you.
And you can also be able from the app to email me with the special Rush 24-7 email access.
Every listener can download the app now, become a member of Rush 24-7.
Once the app is downloaded, you can become a member from the app or you can do it at Rush 24-7 on our website on the computer if you want.
But again, I have to stress, and it looks good.
We put it through its paces last night.
So I discovered the built-in glitch.
Basically, the 2X glitch.
There are also a couple of times, depending on what video source you hit, you'll get a dialogue box message saying that the network is busy or some such thing.
That is also a glitch that we're working on.
We monitor this thing constantly, taking care of these little things.
Like I said, version 1.0, and we've been hustling.
We wanted to get this thing out before the election.
And our problem, we've never had any problem streaming the video.
We have any problem with the mechanics of it.
The challenge for us was to have the app properly recognize subscribers.
And we have a bunch of different kinds.
We got monthly, we have yearly, we have multi-yearly, and so forth.
And so to have the app be able to properly identify every subscriber was a lot of code.
And that's what took the time.
The actual code to distribute the video was, well, I mean, it was challenging because you can't use Flash, but it's done.
So, and it's available for one and all.
And I've been excited about this because people have been emailing me for, well, ever since the iPad came out.
When are you going to, when can I get the DittoCam on the iPad?
Well, the answer is today.
And Snerdley's in there watching the program.
What is it about 30-second delay?
Would you guess?
He's watching the program stream live on his iPhone.
And it does.
All looks good.
It's high definition.
And it's optimized for the iPhone retina display.
And we make sure that when you go 2X on the iPad, that the video quality doesn't lose a thing.
It's high definition all the way around.
So now you're not tied to your computer and you're not tied to your iPad.
This thing, to your iPod, you can take your iPhone, your iPad, wherever you are, listen to the program live, listen to it or watch it, what have you.
So I guess I'm kind of committing now to using the DittoCam every day since we've done this.
I guess, well, there's a price to pay for virtually everything.
Now, the app is free, folks.
I mean, you could, it's a Christmas present.
You'd be able to do everything on your iPhone and iPad that you can do on the computer.
Right there in the palm of your hand.
We're very excited to have it.
Now, I have a story today.
Well, it's the second.
So here's the first year I put in the stack.
Communist Party USA reveals we're using the Democrat Party.
I thought they were the Democrat Party.
That's why this news is kind of interesting to me.
This is from, well, it's the Yahoo Contributor Network.
Not too awful long ago, I wrote about the Communist Party USA and their support for many of the identical principles endorsed by the Democrat Party here in America.
I listed the various similarities, but now I have some even more honest words from the communists themselves.
Joe Sims, co-editor of the Communist Party USA online magazine People's World, states that, among other things, the possibility that the communists may be able to capture the Democrat Party entirely.
There is the possibility, according to the Communist Party online magazine, People's World, there is the possibility the communists could be able to capture entirely the Democrat Party.
As I say, that means they're close.
I thought they already had.
I thought they were the Democrat Party.
I thought they were interchangeable.
Now, read that slowly and carefully: the possibility that the communists may be able to capture the Democrat Party entirely.
Joe Sims is the proud little commie.
And he goes on to brag, and among other things, heightened class and democratic struggle all have combined to produce an unprecedented situation and opportunity.
They are seeking to destroy this nation.
They're using Democrats to wage class warfare, pitting imaginary groups of haves against equally imaginary underclasses, so forth and so on.
So there it is.
This is not news to you.
I mean, we've been reading to you from the Communist Party Workers People's World magazine when it fits over the past couple of years.
But now they're coming right out and saying so.
We are using the Democrat Party.
It's not taking too much effort, by the way, and they're not having to fool the Democrats in order to use them.
There is a story today, si.com.
Actually, it was posted yesterday.
Headline: There's no better place to be a sports fan right now than Philadelphia.
And I want to read a small little excerpt.
Go to the break and come back and delve into this in detail.
It's a good story about Philadelphia at sisportsillustrated.com.
But buried in this article, which I hold here right here, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, buried in this article is this: Passion like this takes strange forms.
While the rest of the country saw Donovan McNabb as a franchise quarterback, Philadelphia fans sensed earlier than most of us that McNabb was overrated.
We will be back.
By the way, anybody out there offended by me saying that the Communist Party USA, the Democrat National Committee are identical, just ask them to name one significant issue where they differ.
Just one.
In fact, they don't even differ on insignificant issues.
Their platform is identical, a Communist Party USA platform identical to the Democrat National Committee platform for 2008, virtually identical.
So if you're out there being offended by it, waste your time getting mad at me.
It happens to be true.
Again, if you're just joining us, Rush Limbaugh Open Line Friday on Tuesday today, it's our live, my last live program for the year.
It is Mark Stein tomorrow, I think, right?
Snerdley will be in New York.
What about, so tomorrow's Wednesday, what about Thursday?
Stein again, and we got the Christmas weekend coming up after that.
Christmas music and all that.
Okay, cool.
And we'll worry about next week later.
Just released Rush Limbaugh iPhone app at the Apple App Store.
It also works on your iPad.
After the video starts, if you're watching on your iPad, the video streaming starts, it's the 2X button, and it'll expand to fill the iPad screen at full quality and resolution.
And by the way, it just can't please everybody.
And all the Android users want to know when they're going to have their app.
And all the BlackBerry users, I didn't know people still had BlackBerries.
They do.
People say, I know, just kidding.
We're working on it.
We're working on it, but I have an iPad, and I have an iPhone.
And so we're going to do what I want first.
It's my website.
It's my app.
And we're going to get the other stuff.
We're working on it fast.
I think the timeline for that is early next year.
All right, now, for those of you who may not know about my ill-fated appearance for five weeks on the ESPN pregame show, the NFL Countdown in 2003, my appearance on that show still resonates throughout the National Football League and throughout the media.
Ralph Wiley, the late great sports writer at Sports Illustrated, accused me of hijacking the 2003 NFL season.
And this is what got it all started.
This was Sunday, September 23rd, NFL Countdown.
The people on the panel are Chris Berman, Steve Young, Michael Irvin, Tom Jackson, and me.
Let me set this up.
What happens in the production meeting for this show on Saturday?
The segments are explained, what we're going to do in each segment.
And the four primary commentators, Berman, Irvin, Young, and Jackson, then discuss with each other broad outlines of what they're going to say during each segment.
My job is to sit off to the side.
And when I want to insert myself into their discussion, if I think I hear something that I disagree with or whatever, then I hit a button that sent a signal control room and a graphic red penalty flag flew across the screen.
And that got me involved in the conversation.
So in the production meeting, there are two segments that day on the problems with Donovan and the problems of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Now, during the production meeting, I don't say anything so as to not prepare these guys for what my reaction to what they're saying is.
All I do is listen.
And I'm hearing some incredible things in the production meeting.
For example, one of the participants, I shall not say who, admitted that he had just gotten off the phone with a coach, Andy Reid.
What's wrong with McNabb?
Reed says, I don't know.
We can't figure it out.
Nobody knows.
McNabb has not had a good start to the 2003 season.
I'm listening to these guys go on and on and on about it.
And you should also know that after the prior week's show, after episode four, one of the ESPN executives came to me and said, could you dial it up a little bit?
Those are the football guys.
We have you here to be you.
Come on, light it up.
Oh, okay.
Fine.
If that's what you want.
So this is what happened during the first segment on Sunday, September 28, 2003, NFL Countdown ESPN.
What's wrong with McNabb?
Tom Jackson says, I don't think benching McNab's an option that the Eagles see right now.
He will have to lose a lot of football games before he's put on the bench.
I'd like to look again at that supporting cast.
McNabb is struggling.
I'd be amazed if they don't come out today, run that football with whoever you have: Buck Holter, Deuce Staley, run that football, give this guy a break at quarterback.
Berman, Rush, you threw the flag.
You're running.
Tommy, I've listened to all of you guys actually, and I think the sum total of what you're all saying is that Donovan McNabb is regressing.
He's going backwards.
And my, I'm sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go.
I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL.
I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.
We're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well.
I think there is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he really didn't deserve.
Somebody carried this team on the bottom of the bank.
Somebody went to those championship games.
Somebody went to those Pro Bowl.
Somebody made those plays that I saw running down the field, doing it with his legs, doing it with his arm.
He has been a very effective quarterback for this football team over the last two or three years.
Yeah, but different than what we see right now.
And they didn't have any more talent than on defense they did.
They offered a little bit more strongly.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
I think he got a lot of credit for the defensive side of the ball winning games for this team.
But I'll tell you what, I'll say it even more strongly, Tom.
When they're winning, nobody makes more plays than Donovan McNabb with his arm than Donovan McNabb.
That guy is really one of the best in the league at making plays.
But making plays does not win championships.
Running the offense does.
So at some point, I think Coy Dettmer looks like a better option because he'll go in there, drop back.
Isn't it odd correctly?
Isn't it odd that last year with the broken leg?
I know it was Arizona, but the one game he was in the pie, he looked great.
He had to run that off.
So, Rush, once you make that investment, though, once you make that investment in him, that's a done deal.
I'm saying it's a good investment.
Don't misunderstand.
I just don't think he's good as everybody said he has been.
Rush has that's Michael Irvin there.
Rush has a point.
That was Michael Irvin at the end.
It was Steve Young who said Coy Dettmer looks like a better manager of the team right now.
So, show airs.
There's one more segment on what's wrong with the Eagles.
Nothing big out of that.
Show ends.
Not a peep from anybody about anything.
We all go in, watch the Sunday afternoon games on all the screens.
I have to leave early, get back to EIB complex, get ready for work the next day.
On Monday, Sunday night, ESPN programming.
Not a word.
On Monday, ESPN programming.
Not a word.
Nobody said a word about it.
On the Monday night, ESPN Monday countdown show, getting ready to Monday night football.
Not a word.
It had died.
It was everything that I had said, the whole segment on what's wrong with McNabb, nothing.
And then Tuesday, practically every columnist in both Philadelphia papers wrote a piece excoriating me for what I had said about McNabb.
This lit up the media elsewhere.
And I got to take a break here.
I'm going to fill you in because this SI story is amazing in context of all this.
The questions keep pouring about the new iPhone app.
And as I've explained it again, the iPhone app does play on the iPad.
There is not a special iPad app.
What we've done is just do it.
If you have an iPad, download the app, and when you start the streaming video, whatever the source, hit the 2X button.
It'll fill the iPad screen at full resolution.
That's how we did it.
I mean, we got a lot of room for growth here, but we wanted to get the first app out.
We did it for the iPhone specifically and then made it compatible with the iPad.
So hit the 2X button to expand the iPhone app on the iPad, fill the screen, and you're sitting pretty.
Now, stick with me on this McNab stuff because we're talking 2003.
This has been seven years, and there are still media people who refer to all of this.
At no time did I ever say Donovan McNabb was a bad quarterback.
All I said was that he was overrated.
That I thought he was overrated.
Not a great quarterback.
I didn't say he was a bad quarterback.
I said, I thought the media had a social consciousness about black quarterbacks doing well.
I know they do.
They're media.
They're leftists.
I know who these people are.
I know what their interests are.
And I simply said so.
And nobody said a word about it when the show ended until the Philadelphia print media went ballistic on Tuesday.
Now, at the same time, ESPN was running a mini-series called Playmaker, and it featured a, and I had nothing to do with this miniseries, by the way.
It featured star of the program was a black running back on this mythical professional football team, which did lines of cocaine, who did lines of cocaine and shot up drugs or whatever before every game.
This prompted the owner of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, to go livid and say that ESPN was filled with institutional racism.
I remember on Tuesday when the Philadelphia print media stuff hit, I got a call from an ESPN exec who was all excited.
Wow, can you imagine the numbers we're going to have on Sunday?
This is exactly what we were looking for.
The next day, the same exec calls and says, look, we're losing Tommy, meaning Tommy Jackson.
Tommy said, it's either you or him.
He says, little kids in Cincinnati are calling him and saying, Mr. Jackson, does this mean I can't be a quarterback in the National Football League if I'm black?
So there were other things going on my life at the time, so I just chose to resign.
I didn't go on that show to do anything but be part of it and help it and try to get away from all this.
This was an excursion into fun for me, avocation.
So it continued to resonate, and it continued to be reported that I was critical of McNabb because he was black.
It continued to be reported.
I said McNabb was a bad quarterback because he was black.
I never said anything such thing.
I never said he was a bad quarterback.
I thought he was overrated by a media socially conscious about past racism in the country and making things right, so forth and so on.
I am the one who said he's overrated.
I.
And I have been excoriated, creamed.
I have been just vilified for this ever since it happened.
And nobody cared a whit about it until the Philadelphia print media went ballistic a couple of days later.
And there have been stories about this for the last seven years.
I mean, if you do a Google search, McNabb and Limbaugh will get 63,000 returns.
That's 10 years later.
So there's this story from SI.com, website of Sports Illustrated, was posted yesterday by Michael Rosenberg.
There's no better place to be a sports fan right now than Philadelphia.
I am not mentioned in this piece.
It's a great story about Philadelphia, what it's like to be a fan there.
And buried in the article is this one line.
Passion like this, meaning Philadelphia fan passion, takes strange forms.
While the rest of the country saw McNabb as a franchise quarterback, Philadelphia fans sensed earlier than most of us in the media that McNabb was overrated.
Now, who is us?
This is a sports writer.
Let's keep that in mind.
I thought I was the only person who thought McNabb was overrated.
It was the first local Philadelphia media, quickly followed by the national media, that distorted and blew up my comments that were in line with most Philadelphia fans, as it turns out.
So most of us, meaning the sports media, were wrong about McNab, and I was right.
I thought McNabb back then was considered by every reasonable human being to be the greatest quarterback that ever lived.
And they called him a premier quarterback in the NFL.
And anybody who suggested the Eagles' defense wasn't getting credit it deserved was a racist.
And now it turns out from Mr. Rosenberg at SI.com that I and most Philadelphia fans knew McNabb was overrated.
The media was dead raw.
Who knew?
Who knew?
As I say, I am not mentioned in this story, which is a rarity on a story of McNabb, the Eagles, and Philadelphia fans.
But this was pointed out to me this morning, about 9:38 when I got this thing.
It's amazing how things come around after seven years.
That passage, while the rest of the country saw McNabb as a franchise quarterback, Philly fans sensed earlier than most of us in the media that McNabb was overrated.
Now, guess the last thing I want to say about this, as far as the media is concerned, very safe now for these guys to say this.
At the end of McNabb's career, when he is having trouble, everybody knows what's going on with Donovan McNabb and the Redskins.
He's handled by that, by the way, as classy as any individual in his circumstances could and would.
And I want to reiterate it, no time was McNabb ever personally criticized by me on that show or since.
Other people have done that.
It's other people in the media that really poor old McNabb is being dumped on by people now like you would not believe.
Saying things that I said seven years ago.
And I just thought, well, how about this?
This is just funny, timely, and just goes to show you that just sit around and wait and things will always even out.
The truth will out.
Maybe I could get McNabb as a guest host on this program.
I'll bet you that McNabb has a lot of things he would like to say about a lot of people.
We might think about that.
Call him after Christmas.
See if he wants to guest host the program.
He can talk about anything he wants if he wants to do it.
Folks, have you heard about this?
We did this as our morning update today.
The latest fundraising idea from the Democrats Senatorial Campaign Committee is selling something called a poetry magnet.
It contains a bunch of words that you can arrange on your refrigerator.
It's a refrigerator magnet.
According to the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee website, it's a quote, creative outlet for your frustration.
You can get one for $6 or you can get two poetry magnets for $10.
The DSCC says that every magnet purchased will go toward helping keep the Senate blue.
And they say, think of all the fun phrases you can make with words like Sarah Palin, Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, and wrong.
Now, here are some of the poetic possibilities that these people at the DSCC suggest.
I'm not making this up.
They're actually selling refrigerator magnets with rearrangeable letters for six and 10 bucks and suggestions for you to put on your refrigerator.
I hate the filibuster because that's the Democrats' latest move now is to get rid of the 60 vote requirement since they are effectively losing control of the Senate.
Sarah Palin equals wrong is another thing they suggest that you put on your fridge.
Fight the right is another suggestion.
So they must think that their voters and donors are idiots.
First, they sell them this stupid magnet.
You've got to be stupid to buy one of these.
And then they think they're so stupid, you got to tell them how to arrange the letters to make words that fit the template of the modern-day Democrat Party.
Do they really think in this economy people are going to pay good money to sit around spelling out worthless drivel talking points on their refrigerators?
And they probably are right.
I bet you they got some near lunatic, insane, base leftist kooks who thinks this is going to be the greatest Christmas presents they could give somebody.
And start, I get to see these liberals sitting at home playing around on their refrigerator with a bunch of magnet rearrangeable letters.
Witless liberals plunking down money, somebody else's probably, to buy these lame magnets.
But the problem for the Democrats is, what do you need for a magnet?
You need magnetism, and they've lost theirs.
The Democrat Party, Obama, I mean, I've figured out, you know what?
Obama's winning the day, right?
Comeback kid.
And all he's done is cave on everything he believes.
If he really wants to get accolades, cave on health care.
You know, he ought to come up and say, you know what?
I'm pulling it.
I'm going to join the efforts to repeal it.
We can do it better.
And then think of the things that D.C. media.
Whoa, what a, oh, my God.
Obama, he's undefeatable now.
Why?
He's implementing every aspect of the Republican agenda, the comeback kid.
That's what they're telling us.
Obama, the comeback kid, as he implements a Republican agenda.
So, Mr. President, repeal health care.
Go all the way on your comeback because the magnetism is gone.
Obama's been exposed.
Those once great oratorical powers, now as empty as his suit.
Democrat policies repel clear-thinking Americans.
They divide us along racial, class, gender, every other line you can imagine.
They don't attract people, which is why voters stomp Democrats in November.
They're selling refrigerator magnets.
Do you have any magnets on your refrigerator, thirdly?
Do you, Dawn, you have magnets?
Well, I bet you've got kids.
Brian, you have a refrigerator?
Good.
I don't either.
I have never, ever had a refrigerator magnet.
I don't know that I've even ever had one to put on the refrigerator.
I know that they, I know I've never had one on the refrigerator.
But Rush Limbaugh is one of the words they have for their magnets.
And the biggest word they have in size is me, M-E.
At any rate, go ahead and play with your magnets.
Play with yourselves, Program.
Remember, roses are red, Democrats are blue, and American voters are fed up with you.
It's open line Friday on Tuesday.
El Rush vote of the phones we go to Chicago.
This is Dorothy, and you are up first.
The first call of the day is very important.
You set the tone.
Oh, really?
Yes, there's a lot of pressure on the first caller.
You want to pass it to somebody else?
I'll take somebody else and make you second if you don't think you're up to it.
Well, I don't know that I'm, I don't know, I don't know that I'm high quality for the first caller since I'm calling rather annoyed, but I'm a very longtime listener to you, Rush.
Well, that makes you terribly qualified.
Well, go ahead.
What are you annoyed about?
Okay, basically, I've been listening and I'm getting tired of defending you, but for the wrong reasons.
Oh, no.
Maybe this whole, and I told Sir Lee, I was trying to, I think that's who I was talking to, I don't know, but I said, what has gotten me upset, maybe there's this whole stupid, the newest stupid of the no labels nonsense going on.
And I realized, well, that's a bunch of hoo-ha anyway.
We always have labels about everything, whether you do it internally in your head or whatever.
It doesn't matter.
But I'm tired of you labeling yourself Republican.
And I mean that as a compliment.
Because maybe it's because I'm a Chicagoan and this kind of stuff and I don't, and I, and I keep myself as saying that I'm an independent in any conversation, which I believe in your heart you are.
And the point is, I see where this is going.
Listen.
No, no, no.
Let me finish.
You are a man of ideals.
Ideas.
Now, ideals.
What you believe in your gut, what you believe, what you want for the country.
That's what makes you be Republican.
But you wouldn't be Republican just to be Republican.
It turns out the reason you're Republican, the reason you vote Republican, the reason you fight for them, is because of the ideals that they're the best people right now.
I'm a conservative first.
Not a Republican.
Not a Republican.
Exactly.
Conservative.
But so many times you allow yourself to get labeled the conservative Republican.
It's almost like it's the same word nowadays, and it annoys the heck.
Okay, so wait a minute now.
I'm still trying to remember where you have to defend me to people in all this.
Okay.
Well, it's the whole thing.
I mean, your persona, which I don't mind, because if people listen to you long enough, they get it.
That you're goofing around half the time.
You know, the half the brains, blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
But, you know, just that a lot of times you come off or you say, make comments that are too much pro-Republican with it seeming like it's Republican as opposed to art is virtuous.
Are you upset at what I say about independence?
Is that what it is?
No, no, no, no, I don't.
I mean, I think that's part of the whole ya-ya.
No, it's not part of the whole ya-ya.
It's not part of the whole ya-ya.
It's not a bit.
It's not calculated or structured.
But what I'm still, you say you're getting tired of defending me, just like the Obama voter told him that she's tired of having to defend him because what he's doing isn't working.
What I'm doing is working.
