Time Text
Greetings and welcome back.
It's great to have you here, Rush Limboy and the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, our telephone number 800 28282, and the email address, L Rushbo at EIB netcom.
All right.
Yeah, I know we're gonna get to this in just a second.
Opposition to health care law eases according to an AP poll, but it's totally misrepresented and not factual.
But the full court press is on to do everything possible to negate the Republican victory and a reasons for it last November.
Now let's go to the audio sound bites.
Tom Corburn was on Meet the Press.
David Gregory also had Ron Brownstein on there and uh not not no, his column is referenced.
Um Chuck Hugh Schumer was on the program.
Gregory says Ron Brownstein writes in his column in the National Journal this week, a column that's entitled Apocalypse Always.
And here's a point that he makes in conclusion on the piece.
When political arguments are routinely framed as threats to America's fundamental character, the odds rise that the most disturbed among us will be tempted to resist the governing agenda by any means necessary.
Isn't the real problem here, Senator Coburn?
Is a description of political discourse and political disagreements as being apocalyptic, having such huge consequence for the direction of the country.
I think that's a false premise totally.
I've pretty well been uh disgusted with all the media, right and left after this episode, because what it does is it raises and says that there's a connection, and the president rightly said there was no connection to this.
That's not what political discourse to this event.
That's that's not the premise.
But Senator Coburn, you you know as well as I do that there are people, and it is true that it's very often on the right, who describe President Obama as somehow an outsider who is trying to usher in a system that will do two things that will injure America and deny them of their liberty.
Do you condemn that belief and try to reject it?
That in and of itself is a strain of thought.
Is it Coburn Coburn tries to respond to that?
There's no question, there's there's all sorts of strains of thought.
The problem I have with the premise of David is that we're disconnecting what the real problems are in our country.
And we're spending all this time talking about political discourse rather than talking about the real risk to our country, which we need to quit paying attention to what all the media says.
We need to start watching, as Chuck Schumer has said, what we say.
Now, Gregory is intent on getting Coburn to say that Obama is not trying to injure the country.
But Senator Coburn, it's fine to take on the media, and a lot of people would support you in that.
That's fine.
But I asked you a very specific question.
Do you reject those who believe that the president wants to injure the country and that will that will deny Americans liberty?
And do you think violent metaphor of any kind is simply over the line in political discourse?
Of course I reject that.
You notice how this is a um a one-way street.
The violent rhetoric for seven or eight years during the Bush administration never once seemed to bother people like David Gregory.
ever once.
You listen to some of the allegations those people were making about Bush.
The Iraq war, go back to the warrantless wiretaps and searches talking about the disappearance of liberty and understand that the Obama regime has enhanced and increased the federal government's power in those searches.
Who is it that plays up conflict more than the news media?
You know.
Uh Gregory kind of just shoves that aside.
Anybody can attack the media.
That's fine and dandy.
But the media manufactures conflict.
They create it where none really exists.
And how come they're never blamed?
I mean, who used more violent rhetoric than Cindy Sheehan when she was out opposing the uh American effort in Iraq or anywhere else military, Afghanistan, you name it.
So I, you know, it it's it's interesting here that the uh the the effort was persistent.
You think Obama's trying to injure the country, you think Obama's trying to injure the country.
I want you to answer this.
Obama tried to injure the country.
All right, whether he is or isn't, he is injuring the country.
Health care alone is harming the country.
Health care, Obamacare alone is going to result in the loss of freedom.
By definition, it has to.
It's putting the government in charge of one sixth of the U.S. economy.
Anyway, what this also is, as as news continues to surface about Jared Lockner, being a wacko leftist, if anything, the media can't give up the ghost here.
It has to be angry right wingers causing all of the upset in our culture and in our society.
So they just they don't want to give this up at all.
And you can see that the media in in this case has got their agenda and they're going to go full force with it, set their narrative, set their template, regardless of the facts.
Obama can talk about the Republicans driving the economy into a ditch in the car.
Take the car keys away.
How come it's okay for Obama to accuse the Bush administration of injuring the country?
But not him.
Said that for seven, eight years, none of the anti-government, anti-Bush talk ever concerned the media.
The reason it concerns them now is because their guy is vulnerable.
That's why it concerns them.
This a huge shellacking victory that took place in November, and they're doing everybody on the left combining efforts to make sure to downplay and maybe render impotent that huge victory.
Hard feelings over Obama's health care overhaul have subsided, with only about one in four people supporting its repeal.
This from an APGFK poll.
Although the nation remains divided over the law, the strength and intensity of the opposition appeared diminished.
Forty percent of those surveyed said they supported the law, and 41% opposed it.
Just after the November congressional election, 38% supported the law and 47% opposed it.
But as the House prepares to vote on repeal this week, public support for that has flagged.
Only about 25% said they want to do away with the law completely.
And even among Republicans, according to this poll, repeal draws markedly less support than it did a few weeks ago.
49% compared with 61% after the November elections.
So the media pushes on.
Obamacare isn't that bad.
But Jeffrey Anderson, the Weekly Standard, a widely reprinted AP story based on a APGFK poll is entitled Opposition to Health Care Law Eases, but don't believe it.
What has eased is not the level of opposition to Obamacare, but rather the level of effort that APGFK has made to ensure that its polling sample is representative of American voters.
This is always the case when you have a poll like this, which is remarkably different than any other poll, you take a look at the sample, and you find out that the sample is miscast and flawed.
When the APG FK poll screened for likely voters a couple weeks before the election, it estimated that 48% of voters leaned Republican and that 42% leaned Democrat, which the election showed to be about right.
In its latest survey, the one that serves the basis for the AP story, APGFK did not screen for likely voters, and they did not screen for registered voters.
Instead, they merely surveyed 1,001 adults.
It's not enough that they didn't go after registered voters and just went to likely.
They didn't do any of that.
They just went 1,001 randomly chosen adults.
Warm bodies.
Well, some of them might have been cold.
Who knows who they talked to?
But the result was this the percentage of Democrat leaning Respondents stayed the same, 42%.
But the percentage of Republican leaning respondents dropped by 12 points to 36%.
So from 48 to 36% Republican sample, November poll to this one.
Now, as one would expect, with the same percentage of Democrat leaning respondents having been surveyed both times, the level of support for Obamacare remained essentially unchanged.
Forty-one percent supported it, 40% support it now, just as unsurprisingly.
When the percentage of Republican leaning respondents dropped by 12 points, the level of opposition to Obamacare dropped by 11 points from 52 to 41%.
That's how they did it.
And they're brazen.
They keep on doing it, even though they know they're going to get caught, because they know they're going to get away with the poll.
Then this ran as an AP story in who knows how many newspapers and was broadcast on however many AP broadcast affiliates.
So the correction comes along at least a day or two after.
Maybe the same day, but still after the initial publishing of the story takes place.
But it's a flawed sample.
Purposely done.
There's no other explanation for it.
So once again, it's a poll designed to affect an outcome here rather than reflect popular sentiment.
Despite the gross underrepresentation of Republican leading respondents, the current APGFK poll still shows.
Still shows more people opposing Obamacare than supporting it, even greater opposition among those who feel strongly.
Overwhelming opposition to the individual mandate, and more support for repealing Obamacare in its entirety than for keeping Obamacare.
There's no story here.
Even though AP wrote one.
No matter how you look at their poll, the opposition is still a majority to it.
They just want to say it's plummeting, but it's not.
It's their sample that's flawed.
And this is typical.
This is what the mainstream drive-by media has become.
So David Gregory is now upgrading uncivil talk to equal violent rhetoric.
That was what his incessant interrogation of Senator Coburn was all about.
You go on, Senator, I'm asking you, I'm asking you.
Do you believe in all this talking Obama's trying to injure the country and so forth?
I guess the 25 states that have filed legal briefs in federal courts accusing this regime of denying individuals basic liberty under Constitution under the Commerce Clause at violent rhetoric too, Mr. Gregory.
Twenty-five states have filed legal briefs saying American freedom is on the line, unconstitutional behavior by the regime via the Commerce Clause.
demanding that Americans buy health care or face the consequences.
You telling me that's not an impingement of freedom?
But now, according to David Gregory in the left, this is violent rhetoric.
So one day they call it uncivil rhetoric.
Now they call it violent rhetoric.
So violent rhetoric is not urging violence.
Violent rhetoric is noticing the government's efforts to expand in the individual's expense.
And so this is how they're attempting to quell any opposition.
That's what all of this is about.
They're trying to get Coburn intimidated into shutting up.
They're trying to get every Republican they can intimidated into shutting up and being critical of what Obama's doing, all on the basis of this shooting, which we have established has nothing to do with language or right wingers or anything.
It has to do with a demented mind who was a Bush hater and truther.
Now there's another poll out there, CNN has a poll out today talking about the Arizona shootings has gotten very little press.
It was taken uh January 14th through 16, and here's one reason why it's gotten very little press.
Which of the following statements comes closer to your overall view?
And they are placed here in random order.
Which of the following statements comes closer To your overall view, government and society can take action that will be effective in preventing shootings like the one in Arizona from happening again, 33% agree.
Shootings like the one in Arizona will happen again regardless of what action is taken by government and society.
66%.
No opinion, one percent.
So twice as many people believe that it's going to happen again, regardless of what action is taken by government and society.
CNN not making a big deal out of uh out of this poll, and they've linked to a PDF file, which most people won't bother to plow through.
You know, with Coburn they are.
They are defining violent rhetoric down to shut up the opposition.
The news media, the rest of the Democrats want to do what Hugo Chavez has done in Venezuela.
They want to make it a crime to complain about government policy.
Actually, they've been trying to criminalize political differences for as long as I've been doing this program, but now they're brazen about it.
They want to make it a crime to complain about government policy or to support an opposition candidate.
They want to criminalize political discourse.
Political free speech.
Now they're probably going to call that wild rhetoric that's going to promote violence and so forth.
This is how they uh do it.
Remember that CNN poll back in August, and we had we we spent a lot of time on this.
Only 42% of Americans believe Obama is a citizen.
Only 23% of Republicans do.
And then there was the other poll, uh, something like what was it, 30% of Americans think he's a Muslim.
And the media had a cow over that poll.
And they had a cow, only 42% of Americans believe Obama's a citizen.
And they had a fifth, they were incredulous.
They made fun of Republicans, and yet 35% of Democrats believe that George Bush knew about 9-11, and it's a whole-hom reaction.
Oh, no big deal.
Bush made people crazy.
It's understandable a Democrats would think that.
Here's James in Atlanta.
We go back to the phones on the EIB network.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Raj.
How are you?
Pretty good.
Long time letter uh listener.
I'd like to do a shout out to Wayne Utley in Fredericksburg, Texas, who turned me on to you 17 years ago.
Okay, thank you.
Couple of quick questions for you.
One, why would any conservative appear with anybody like a David Gregory?
Why do we do this?
Well, they think that the mainstream media is where the action is.
They think that I don't know.
If they say no, they're gonna get uh ripped to shreds, or maybe they see it as a golden media opportunity to get a message out.
Who knows?
Well, I feel so educated by you because I know when you say polls, really what I hear now is propaganda.
Yeah.
That's what that word means.
And and I feel so rabid, I don't know where the people like me are.
Why don't I see these people in the media who don't care what anybody thinks about what they say?
When we just get this big wrecking ball out and make it happen.
When you say, why don't you see people like me in the media, who do you expect to see in the media?
Wait.
I want I want passion on our viewpoints.
I am tired of accommodating.
But from who?
Guests or hosts?
Uh from the guests.
For me, the guests are gonna be the politicians, the people who are supposed to represent us.
Supposedly fighting for our causes.
We're so caught up in these polls and the game and the business of the media.
In my lifetime, is it possible we can expect anything to go back to what we might hope that America could be?
You know, when you get away from the game of all this, how does someone like me who's passionate about what he believes, who has to work hard for a living, expect ever for our country to return to a place that we can be proud of?
You don't expect the current crop of Republicans to follow through on their campaign promises?
You know, Rush, that's not enough.
Just now wait a minute.
Wait, but why are you saying just because Coburn disappointed you on Meet the Press?
They all disappoint me.
Nobody gets on there with any cojones.
They're always ashamed and embarrassed, and they have to sort of take the edge off of the way they feel.
They have to be politically correct.
Well, wait a second now, don't forget.
We have warned you several times on this program.
The ruling class consists of a lot of Republicans who hate the Tea Party, who are scared to death of the Tea Party and what you believe in because it will upset their standing in the ruling class in Washington, D.C. That's the establishment.
And I want the passion that says even if we have to destroy that piece, let's do it.
Well, that's the way that's the same.
Look at there are all kinds of these people that do show up.
Michelle Bachman shows up.
I like Michelle Bachmann.
Okay, they'll have five Democrats on with her when she shows up.
But she shows up.
There are a number of Mike Pence shows up.
Boehner shows up.
There are a lot of them that do.
The invitations aren't extended to a lot of the people you wish to hear from.
They are extended to establishment Republicans who are going to ultimately capitulate and go along with whatever premise the media puts forth because that's who they want the acceptance and friendship of.
It's no mystery.
Ladies and gentlemen, now let me let me uh let me ask you to put the brakes on out there.
It's not time to start calling me with the 20-year-old refrain, why don't the Republicans do X?
I'm not gonna have much patience for it.
It isn't time for this yet.
Besides, I can't tell you any more than I've already told you for the last 20, 22, 23 years, which basically is how the hell should I know.
Well, yeah, you can see how much of my advice they take.
Look, uh the Democrats are desperate right now.
They are clamoring for the end of conservative media.
They want their Cronkite severide situation back, where there's only one voice in America telling everybody what to think, and everybody believed the voice.
And anybody who didn't believe the voice was thought to be a kook.
I remember the days where just Cronkite, and then after Cronkite came along, he had uh Huntley Brinkley.
And then ABC got started with uh they had so many of them out there.
Uh, can't remember who, but uh Cronkite was basically it on CBS.
And and now the the Democrats, they failed to make hay with this issue.
They failed.
They failed to tie the Jared Lochner issue to new media.
Now they're gonna keep trying with events like this.
But you know, Coburn going on meet the press and not expressing your passion and so forth, he had a different agenda.
He was up there to criticize the media.
You don't want your media criticized, and he's criticizing all media.
He says he's sick and tired of watching it.
He doesn't specify, just sick, he thinks it's uh problematic, full of false premises and so forth, and to a certain extent, he's right, particularly about the standard state-controlled legacy, whatever you want to call them, mainstream media.
They're just a series of false premises.
All oriented toward an agenda.
Here's here's here's Obama from the Audacity of Hope, pages 75 and 76, the spin, the amplification of conflict, the indiscriminate search for scandal and miscues, the cumulative impact of all this is to erode any agreed-upon standards for judging the truth.
We have no authoritative figure, no Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow, whom we all listen to and trust to sort out contradictory claims.
So in his book, The Audacity of Hope, he pines away.
Pines away for all of the old days of Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow.
Have you ever noticed, by the way, folks, that the push for the civility is in inverse proportion to how well the Democrats think they are winning the national debate.
Even now, Democrats control ninety-nine percent of the news media and the rest of the establishment, and they still can't win an argument.
With that larger percentage, and if you don't want to say 99%, say 90.
85%.
They still, the time you go nationwide, local newspaper, a lot of local radio stations and so forth, local TV stations that editorialize or have their own, if it bleeds it leads newscasters.
the vast majority of media in this country is left wing, and they still can't win an argument.
They still can't create a mantra.
They all they well, they can create it, but they couldn't pull this off.
Even CNN, 66% of the American people say no m no amount of government policy or talk is gonna stop events like this.
Sixty-six percent say it's going to keep happening.
Now I I I just I think it's a little soon here to start thinking the Republicans are not exhibiting passion, especially in the aftermath of this event.
Nobody in elected office is really expressing passion, is still too near uh too close to this uh to this episode.
Uh give it give it uh a little time.
Remember, I I'm here.
I will tell you when it's time to get upset, mad, ticked off, or what have you.
And we're not there.
Certainly not.
Don't if you start down that road, you're letting the media win this.
And boy, this is certainly not the time for that.
It's a challenge.
Is it for 23 years?
Who come the Republican?
And by the way, I almost had to hang up on that caller.
He sounded victorious like the day is coming where the regime's gonna be monitoring these shows, and a caller like that may be singled out, needing psychiatric treatment.
Well, I wouldn't put it past him.
I would not put it past him because you got Sheriff Dupnik now, all of a sudden, in addition to everything else, he's a psychiatric expert.
All right, John and Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Hey, um, you know, I hear President Obama calling for civility between the parties and all Americans.
And uh I just want to know uh when are we gonna get the civility from the other side?
Uh these people who accused uh you and Sarah Palin of causing this uh uh tragedy in Tucson.
Yeah, when are they gonna apologize?
I I say to President Obama, you first.
They're not gonna that's exactly right.
He did not mention his side at all uh in his uh in his famous speech out there.
He did not apologize for his side, his side hasn't.
His side is responsible for much more of this stuff than we are when you factor in movies, books, television shows, and the like.
No doubt.
But so how do we how do we uh you know counter this?
How do we uh you have to understand what a a call for civility is?
It's censorship.
Civility means we shut up.
Yeah.
Civility does not mean that we tone it down.
Civility does not mean that we act polite.
Civility does not mean that we do an MPR impression.
Civility means we shut up.
I I'm surprised uh what he should have said was uh this only applies to Republicans.
It's it doesn't apply to Democrats.
He didn't have to say that.
He knows the media knows this, and that's what's gonna be promulgated.
That's why the theme was carried out throughout Sunday shows.
Uh you you remember uh it was Zev Chaffitz who wrote the book uh on me, and Zev Chaffetz called Axelrod.
Zeb Chavez knows Axel Rod, he called Axel Rod.
He didn't I don't think he was I don't think he named Axelrod when he told this story, but he called somebody at the regime and asked Obama, he's asked me, would you play golf if Obama would agree to it?
I said, Yeah, but it's not gonna happen, Zeb.
They're not gonna agree to it.
And he said, Okay, well I'm gonna try.
So he asked somebody at the regime if uh Obama would like to play golf with me, and they told him Limbaugh go play with himself.
Civility.
Civility.
That's civility simply means we shut up.
That's all it means.
Civility means we go away.
Civility means censorship of the right.
Dave in Colorado Springs, Colorado, great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Uh hello, Rush.
Hi.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it.
What a great honor.
Thank you.
God bless you for everything you do.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Uh, you know, I I I I the thing you just said a little bit ago about uh, you know, you don't know what the Republicans are thinking.
I I understand that, but you know, I look at it and we're out here in flyover country.
Uh, okay, people died in Arizona, we've had the memorials, we're getting there.
But when are the Republicans, the Tea Party people that we tried to elect and get elected, when are they going to get back on track?
We need to be repealing health care.
The socialists, the Democrats, would have rescheduled, they would have had that repeal vote come in right after the shootings.
They would have moved it up so that Republicans couldn't have voted on it.
We need to be defunding NPR, DOE, NEA, etc., etc.
etc.
We need to be investigating those uh those uh Kenyan czars.
We need to get on his agenda.
We need to put him off balance, and we need to get America back on track.
I think that the health care debate, the repeal vote is this week.
Uh yeah, I I you know I I I did just I did just hear that, and I think it's good that it's coming back, but but the Republicans boy, I'm I'm you know, I'm praying for him, I'm hoping for him, but we have got to get going on this.
Uh you know, time is of the essence, and we gotta keep them, we gotta keep the Democrats off balance.
I agree.
I agree, and I think they will.
It's uh this this was a huge, huge uh event that happened, and remember it was a member of Congress that was shot.
A lot of these people think it could happen to them next.
Uh it's this is not an insignificant thing as far as as far as they are uh concerned.
A lot of them very security conscious now, and who knows uh if they if they had held the vote right after the shooting while the greatest health care in the world was in the process trying to save all those victims, uh I don't think it would have uh gone off.
And by the way, nobody was angrier about it than I, because as a gift to me, the original vote was on my birthday.
January 12th, and they they scrubbed it to uh to later this week.
I don't know what day of this week, but I've got it somewhere here uh in the story.
Hang tough, sir.
Everything's gonna be fine.
We'll be back after this.
Don't go away.
Hiya, welcome back.
It's Rush Lindbaugh, and this the excellence in broadcasting network.
Although, for me personally, it's very frustrating to get these phone calls.
Why is Coburn going on a show?
Where are people?
Why are they staying there?
It's very frustrating to me because I'm sitting here behind the golden EIB microphone.
I'm not in charge of where Tom Corburn goes or what he says.
I'm not in charge of where are the Republicans and what are they doing?
Contrary to public opinion, I don't have a pipeline.
I have no clue what they're doing.
I don't know what their plan is.
I don't know what I read in the paper, but I'll tell you this.
What I'm hearing from the callers is very positive.
They are not being distracted by any of this.
They are still as passionate as they were prior to and right after the election.
They're not distracted, they're not intimidated, they're not intimidated at all by the media trying to blame them or their leaders for this incident out there.
And if everything is gonna end up being fine, it's going to be because of the people.
People like these callers.
They are ready to roll.
They want action.
They voted for it, they expect it.
And if they don't get it, this crop's gone, and a new crop's gonna be set in there.
This is what these people in Washington are going to have to understand.
They want action, they want the agenda as promoted and promised.
As is always the case, the people are ahead of the politicians.
The people don't care what David Gregory says.
The people don't care what David Gregory think.
I just checked my email.
The vast majority of people do not want our people going on these shows.
Why go on these shows and give them an opportunity to cast us in a certain way, misrepresent or what have you.
There's audiences are very small.
Why mess with it?
They don't care what that idiot sheriff had to say.
They're not intimidated by any of this.
The same can't be said, though, of elected officials.
Many of them are intimidated, and they get then they get signed.
Tom Coburn was eventually beaten down to a certain extent by Gregory.
So you really I don't want you to know is Obama tried to enter the country.
No, of course not, of course not.
He said that just to get rid of the questioning.
But the voters are not buying any of the things that the media's trying to sell since this event happened.
And I have to tell you something.
I've I've mentioned this on many occasions in the past.
Anytime, and this is not the first time.
Oklahoma City was not the first time either, but it was the largest at the time.
The largest event where a president tried to personally blame me for an event like this.
There have been several smaller attempts.
Waco X here does something, oh, conservative radio does this.
And each time, what gives me strength is knowing you don't buy it.
You don't believe it.
The biggest strength, the biggest uh confidence builder I have is all of you.
I know who you are.
You don't buy any of this.
You don't succumb or haven't surcame.
As Cornell West says, you haven't surcame to all of this BS in the media that you and I together are responsible for the acts of lunatic fringe leftists.
So I never worry when they come out and start accusing me of things like this, that you're gonna believe it.
That this program is going to be affected by it, because you don't.
You don't care what the idiot sheriff had to say, you don't care what Gregory has to say, you care that the people you elected not fall prey to all of this.
So you get frustrated with uh all this idiot talk from Washington, including Republican politicians who want to sit together.
Colburn said that, by the way.
He's gonna sit next to Schumer.
That's not what you want to hear.
You don't want anybody sitting next to Schumer.
That's not what the election was about.
And you, you know damn well that if it was the other way around, the Republicans lose bigger than ever in history, and they ask the Democrats, hey, let's sit together during State of the Union.
Democrats say you'll be lucky if we let you in.
State of the Union, much less sit next to us.
But you are not interested in bipartisanship.
You are not because you know what it means.
You know that bipartisanship means caving.
You know that civility means censorship.
You're not interested in any of this.
So you get frustrated, and I'm glad you are, and I don't don't cool down.
You get frustrated with all this idiot talk from Washington, including from Republican politicians who say they want to sit together.
We want to defeat their agenda.
While the wind is at our back from a fresh fresh election, this is the best time to do it.
So I understand every one of you scared to death that they're gonna drop the ball.
You have history on your side.
But let's just let's just wait and see.
See what happens here.
Quickly, uh, David in Nashville.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Yeah, hey, Rush, what a great honor after listening to you for decades.
I can't believe I finally got through.
Thank you.
But um you have done a great job in pointing out the violent rhetoric against Bush and other people uh on the right.
But I think you're you're overlooking the biggest one that sticks out uh where they took a shot at you.
I think it was Wanda Sykes.
I know it was at the press court dinner who said that she wished she'd catch a disease, which she would die, and and Obama, his staff, and and all the liberal media laughed their heads off about it.
And to me, it just shows that it sh just a true hypocrisy uh of the administration and of the media that just continues on and on.
You know, you're right.
I had forgotten about that.
She did the White House correspondence.
