Time Text
Anybody remember um anybody remember the U.S. media being this elated when Saddam Hussein fell?
I don't.
In fact, I remember the U.S. media being upset the way um Saddam was examined after they dragged him out of that rat hole.
Anyway, it's Friday, folks.
Great to have you here.
Let us roll on.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And I promise.
I promise, I promise we're gonna get the phone calls in the monologue segment of the hour.
I kind of got Joe Biden disease there.
We had four minutes left in the segment, and I said, okay, let's go to the phones.
Started talking about how ticked off sturdley is answering the phones.
Ended up doing another summary of Egypt.
We never got to the phone call.
Phone call, by the way, is Michael in Wilmington, Delaware.
Michael, you're coming up, so hang in there and be tough.
Great to have you, folks.
Uh telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the uh email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com uh this afternoon in Louis.
At the University of Louis, Vice President Bytemey spoke about uh this is Soundbite's 3233 34, uh, Mike spoke about Egyptian anti-government protests, and President Mubarik stepping down.
And he said, Vice President Bytney said he was not gonna talk about Egypt, and then talked about Egypt for five minutes.
I don't want to get ahead of you.
That's not a good thing to do.
Uh but all kidding aside, uh, this is a pivotal moment in history.
It's a pivotal moment in not only Mid East history, but in history, I would argue.
We have said from the beginning as an administration that this unrest, that the future of Egypt will be determined by the Egyptian people.
Uh, I just want to remind you folks, we have a story from the New York Times today.
Iran presses opposition to refrain from rally.
The mullahs and Ahmedini Zad are telling uh anti-government pro-democratic protest, you better not show up.
You better not do what they're doing in Egypt.
Iran's authorities have increased pressure on that country's political opposition days before a rally proposed by opposition leaders in support of the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
And Ahmedini Zan said, you better not do it.
Now, where will we come down?
Where will our country be?
Where will our media be?
Will our media and our administration support an uprising in Iran against the mullahs there?
Will Obama deliver a speech that begins, people, the reverb.
What will Obama say to Mahmud Ahmedini Zad's opposition in Iran who want to hold a similar rally?
Will there be a speech?
If not, why not?
I just asking the questions.
Here's Biden saying, I don't I don't want to, I don't want to get ahead here of this Egypt.
I really don't want to say much about it.
Here he is, continuing to talk about it.
What the United States has said is what we've stood for, and we continue to stand for a set of core principles.
The first is that violence and intimidation against peaceful demonstrators is totally thoroughly unacceptable.
Stop the tape.
Secondly.
Except when our union people are hired to go beat up Tea Party protesters in St. Louis.
And then we're all for violence and intimidation against peaceful demonstrators.
If they're conservatives, if they're Tea Party people showing up at town hall meetings, we'll send our SEIU union tough guys out.
And we're all for violence and intimidation.
That the universal rights of the Egyptian people must be respected, and their aspirations must be met.
And thirdly, that the transition, the transition that's taking place, must be an irreversible change and a Negotiated path toward democracy.
This is uh Vice President Bightney in Louisville this afternoon.
One more bite.
Even in this contentious political climate in which we work, on this issue, the United States is largely spoken with one voice.
Democrats and Republicans alike, speaking with the same voice.
This unity has been important, and it will be even more important in these delicate and fateful days ahead.
So I will not speak more about this today.
I had planned on speaking more about it, but it's much more appropriate that we all wait, and the president will deliver his statement on this in about an hour.
So I'm not going to say anything about this after five minutes of talking about it and wait for the leader of our regime to make the statement.
Anybody any of you uh ladies and gentlemen you think that whatever comes next in Egypt uh will be better for U.S. interests than Mubarak has been.
Who knows?
I don't I don't have a sense I I I don't think I don't think this is good.
I frankly don't think I I I think uh it's not it's it's this is it's not gonna be um it's it's not gonna be roses and tulips over there for these people.
These protesters.
I don't I don't I gotta this this is this is not this is not gonna end well wherever it ends up.
I'd love to be wrong.
That's my fear about it.
I just I just I don't think it's gonna end well.
Uh Michael, Wilmington, Delaware.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
You're up first on open line Friday.
Hello, sir.
Thank you, Rush, for taking my call.
You bet.
And congratulations on all the great things that have happened to you in the past.
Thank you, sir very much.
And I do appreciate you being our only voice or one of our only voices of sanity in this country.
This bubaric thing is really um not the most important thing on my mind, but I remember when Yassa Arafat was compounded down by uh Sharon, and uh he died, and they shipped his body over to France, and he laid in a hospital, I believe dead for seventeen days, while his family divided up his wealth.
The same thing happened to Babarak, I believe.
When he knew it was over, and he knew it was over two, three weeks ago.
Everything comes to an end, Rush.
Everything.
Even liberalism will come to an end.
He decided to take all these billions of dollars, which he probably has in Switzerland, and he has homes on the Red Sea, and he's got bank accounts all over, and he wants to pass this along to his uh family.
His sons is whatever.
And I think that was the main concern that he had in these last 17 days.
This man is finished.
It was a 30-year reign.
He collected billions of dollars.
I don't think he cares much about who takes over or what happens to Egypt.
If he did, he would have run the country a little differently.
His people earn no money, they have no wealth.
They create nothing in Egypt.
I mean, they they don't have farms.
I mean, Rush, the culture is 10,000 years old or whatever it is.
They still can't make their own wheat.
I mean, no, they can't even do mummies anymore.
Shame.
I I mean the the amount of money that Bernanke has printed, and I know that I'm off on a little tangent here, has created a commodity surge in this world where these people are now paying two and three times for breakfast.
Let me tell you something.
Uh let me say something, Michael.
You you've you've nailed it here.
I mentioned this on day one of this.
It was a Monday, a couple weeks ago on day one of this, and I shared with this audience, and that would mean with you, that that that one of the reasons that there was there was the dissatisfaction all over the world, but primarily here is that what QE2, our quantitative easing, the the printing of money here has done to commodities prices.
Food prices around the world are way, way up.
There's this food inflation, food insecurity, what what have you.
And at gut level, there is economics in this protest as well.
You're You've nailed the economic circumstances in Egypt pretty well.
But it's nothing new.
It's been that way for quite a while, as you uh as you pointed out.
Everything does come to an end.
I don't know.
He might have been sitting around divvying up the 70 billion he's reported to have.
Uh the real question is always been for me.
What about U.S. interests there?
And what what is is anything going to be better for the Egyptian people now with uh Mubarak gone?
Well, we nobody knows this.
Nobody knows this.
I've gotten some emails.
Rush, why are you spending so much time on this?
Um it's a good question.
I shall endeavor to answer it.
I show up here every day, and I want you to understand this.
I do not have quote unquote an agenda, meaning when I engage in show prep, I am not looking for things that can advance what I already believe in.
I I'm not and exclude things that do not advance.
Don't I don't I don't do that.
I don't I don't sit around and look at news stories or whatever and uh pick and choose based on I can manipulate the audience this way, this I can make them think what I want them to think.
This is not in that sense I don't have an agenda.
Of course, I'm agenda's conservatism, freedom, and so forth and so on.
America greatness.
Largely what what I do here is reactionary.
I show up here minding my own business, and I'm looking here at events in Egypt that need to be explained and put in context.
This is an object lesson for how to deal with media.
This is an object lesson in teaching people what media is and who they are.
This is an object lesson in helping to illuminate for people who the real Barack Obama is.
That's what this episode is for me.
That's what this obsession that people have here, the real objectives that Obama, the real objectives that the left have here have nothing to do with the people of Egypt.
They have nothing to do with enhancing or improving their economic plight or their way of life.
Nothing whatsoever to do with that.
The agenda of the of the media and Obama have nothing to do with democracy here.
Everything that happens in this country, everything that happens around the world, as reported by the media, is through the prism of how does this impact Obama.
Every event that happens in the world, our media is going to take it and try to position it as a way to make Obama look powerful, competent, and as a winner.
Well, I happen to think that he's just the exact opposite.
So when we we have been in the in the midst here of an onslaught, and that's not even the word.
We're in the middle here of a of an attack.
The left in this country and all of their various arms, primarily the administration and the media, have seized upon this event to advance themselves and their cause in this country.
And frankly, anything that anybody does that tries to advance or cement Obama's power in this country or tries to tell people that he's great and what he's doing is great.
I'm gonna stop it in its tracks if I can.
So if they're gonna take this event in Egypt and say, oh, goody, we got an opportunity here to reassert Obama.
He's lost a lot of support in the polls.
People don't like his health care.
We've got to somehow find a resurgence for Obama.
And make no mistake, that's what this is for the media.
This is an opportunity to build him back up.
They know who we're dealing with here.
They know he's inexperienced, out of his league, little man-child president.
Oh, Oprah in as much as said so.
So they take this event, and they'll use it and twist it any which way they can to make Obama the winner of this thing.
Well, I'm just not gonna sit here and watch that kind of absolute fraud take place.
So if you're wondering why are you spending so much time in Egypt, it's because I'm not gonna sit here and roll over while another set of lies is perpetuated that somehow all this is absolute war.
This is one of the most important democratic uprisings in the world, and who's responsible for it?
None other than Barack Obama.
It's not that at all.
That's what they want you to believe.
So I'm sitting here minding my own business, once again having to defend the truth.
Because that's what's under assault with this whole Egypt story.
I hope that helps you to understand it.
And to me, that's important.
It's valuable.
I know that there are other things happening here that sufficient time needs to be given to, and I will.
But this is nothing.
This is just the this is a Mark Foley.
This is that that little uh so-called scandal with Mark Foley and the uh and the intern, the page emails.
Look at what that became.
Look at what the Michael J. Fox ads for Claire McCaskill and and Michael Steele became.
This is we're we're in the midst here.
These people on the left know full well the trouble Obama is in.
Look at his poll numbers.
Look at the number of people that oppose his agenda.
The independents are not leaving the Republican Party in the polling data.
He's got an unconstitutional health care law.
They know the election's coming up.
They have got to go into full-fledged build this guy back up mode.
So here comes this event in Egypt.
What better way to do it?
Try to attach Americanism to this thing.
It's a Democrat uprising.
Why it's the same thing as the Berlin Wolf.
If that's true, they're gonna be as supportive of the uprising in Iran as they are this, and we know they won't be.
What's happening in Iran is doubtless a democratic uprising, and it's been going on for years.
The people in Iran are fed up with the Malahs and the Islamic uh revolution there.
Ahmadini Zad, fed up with their country being the home state of terrorism.
We've been doing what we can privately to encourage them behind the scenes, knowing full well a military intervention on our part's not relevant.
It's not likely.
So, quite simply, this is just I don't know how to call it.
I'm not even a metal block on the on the words.
This is this whole the reporting of what's happening in Egypt, the positioning of Obama in in relation to it, is nothing more than an assault on our senses.
It's it's it's it's it's hit with the same energy and the same purpose as these same people trying to blame all of us for what happened to Gabrielle Giffords.
It just never stops.
Every bit of this is being reported through the prism of how can we help Obama win from this?
It it just it that sickens me while telling us they think it's all about the people of Egypt, which is BS.
Well, quite simply, folks, the media is doing everything they can to make all of this about Obama.
The simplest way to say this is that they're trying to say that what's happening in Egypt is the most wonderful thing that may have happened in the Middle East ever, and it's because of Obama.
That's that's and I'm sorry, and it repulses me.
It insults my intelligence, and I'm not gonna sit here and just let it go by and say, eh, nobody's gonna believe that.
It does infuriate me to have my intelligence insulted.
This just shows how competent this is the brilliance of Obama working behind the scenes, uh pro-democracy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now, this Alberadae guy, Mohammed Albert, I'm trying to get away from this Egypt story, and I can't.
Wait till we hear what's coming next.
Mohammed Al Baradai, this is not what's coming next, this is pre-next.
Mohammed Al Baradai has a New York Times uh op-ed today, uh a column.
And he said the Tunisian uprising proved that yes, we can.
Yes, we can.
So Mohammed Alberadai, single-handedly responsible for telling the world Iranians were not nuking up when they were, tells us that the tipping point came with the Tunisian revolution, which sent a powerful psychological message, yes, we can.
Well, who the hell's message is that?
None other than Barack Obama and his campaign in 2008.
Yes, we can.
So you see how this all works.
It's all because of Obama.
Now, Business Week.
Three headlines.
Dollar strengthens versus most peers as Egypt's Mubarak resigns.
U.S. stocks rise on Mubarak resignation.
Consumer confidence up.
Stocks advance as Mubarak resigns.
Egypt default swaps slide.
Oh, look at how wonderful, ladies and gentlemen.
Because of Obama getting rid of Mubarak.
Look at what's happening to the U.S. dollar.
Look at what's happening to consumer confidence.
Look at what's happening to U.S. stocks.
Wow, what a guy!
What a great-that's what we're faced with here.
That's what this is all about.
Well from CNBC, Egypt crisis puts spotlight on weakness in U.S. And this is the opinion of uh uh Mohammed El Arian, who is at PIMCO.
It's an American company.
The lack of a flight to the U.S. dollar and treasuries during the crisis in Egypt is a warning sign that investors are moving away from traditional American safety plays, says Pimco's Mohammed El Arian.
Since the revolt against Mubarak hit a tipping point in the late January, the dollars changed little.
And let's see.
The business we hear.
So uh conflicting news here.
Business week.
Wow, look at all this wonderful stuff that's happening.
CNBC, uh no, not happened.
What are we to believe?
Who are we to believe?
I don't know, but the point is that elements of the media are doing everything they can to use this Egypt thing to reinforce and re-establish the omnipotence, competence, greatness of what have you, somebody who had literally nothing to do with it.
Obama's 130 p.m. uh press appearance have been postponed.
The time is now to be determined.
We don't know why.
Maybe Mubarak decided he now doesn't want to leave.
I'm just kidding.
I think.
I don't know.
Obama, Mr. Omnipotent, why none of this would have been happening without him.
Oh, he's so wonderful, so great.
So on top of things.
That's what our media wants you to believe.
And yet, Obama learns of Mubarak resignation in Oval Office, watching TV.
They actually let that news out.
This is the guy who's responsible for this, the guy who made it happen, the guy who's the inspiration for all of this in Egypt.
Oh, yes, the democratic uprising.
Barack Obama finds out Mubarak's actually leaving, watching TV in the Oval Orif.
Disney.com.
Why, this brilliant maneuver of Obama's to get rid of Mubarak is causing our markets to skyrocket.
Uh-uh.
The International Monetary Fund has discussed plans to replace the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world.
Oh.
You heard about this U.S. Weekly ran a story quoting Sarah Palin, demanding that Christina Aguilera be deported over her botched performance of the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
The only problem is it never happened.
The item quoted Palin trashing Aguilera as a demanding beauty queen, who's clearly in over her head.
That was in quotes.
And adding for good measure, Palin, if I were president, I'd deport Miss Aguilera back to wherever it is she's from and give Amy Smart a call.
Well, Miss Aguilera is from Pittsburgh, number one.
Number two, Sarah Palin never said it, but Time magazine ran with the quotes as well.
She never said it.
Other choice quotes from Palin in U.S. Weekly.
Here's another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool.
She doesn't understand something so basic about America, yet we're supposed to tolerate her diva behavior.
Unemployment's at 9%.
We have to suffer through a performance by a foreigner with a poor grasp of the English language.
All of these quotes attributed to Sarah Palin in an interview with Sarah Pay with the with uh with Hannity.
And Time Magazine picked these things up and ran them.
Now it seems that the drive-bys have a problem with fake quotes by conservatives.
Remember all that garbage they disseminated that I never said during the ill-fated St. Louis Rams debacle.
All that stuff on slavery that I never said, and all these people pick it up.
That's why I'm spending so much time on this.
That's why, whenever the media gets in full support Bill Up Obama mode, it's time to put the brakes on it.
This is what we are up against.
And any time an opportunity exists to illustrate the journalistic fraud and malpractice that we're faced with every day when looking at so-called mainstream media, I'm going to take it.
Okay, back to the phones we go, people patiently waiting.
Uh Patrick in Nashville, Tennessee.
Thank you, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'll get right to my point.
First, uh, I'm glad that you're there to uh talk about this situation in Egypt because otherwise there would be no one there in the media uh to remind us that so far the only person who has overthrown a dictator in the Middle East is George Bush.
Now I would like to make a comment about these uh protesters in Egypt.
Uh the way I see it, and I know a few people in Nashville from Egypt.
These uh protesters who are just want freedom from a dictator, and what they're asking for is perfectly right.
They were all up in arms and against it, the very same ones when George Bush was trying to give that freedom from a dictator to millions of people in Iraq.
That is an excellent point.
It's an excellent point.
Bush did overthrow a dictator, and he's hated for it.
Obama had nothing to do with this.
He is getting all the credit for getting rid of a dictator.
And the world is well, I don't know the world, but the media's applauding.
It's a excellent point.
I'm glad you call Patrick Caffey in Greensboro, North Carolina.
You're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hey, Russ, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
I'm trying not to be nervous.
I was actually calling in response to the question you made about whether the Egyptian people will be better off after that.
Mm-hmm.
Truly doubt it.
Uh, I have to say, who knows?
Um, but I don't really know why anybody really would think that they would be better off.
And as and then I was also taken by the point uh you made somebody had said why are you spending so much time on this?
They obviously don't understand how important it is.
Well, no, I understand the question.
I mean, some people think what whatever has been said has been said.
Uh what else is there to say?
There's other stuff going on out there, Rush.
Why are you obsessed with it?
I can understand it.
It's why I took the time to explain why this is relevant and really has not very much to do with Egypt.
That's the whole point of this.
This this really, as far as U.S. consumption is concerned, is not about Egypt.
They're trying to make it about Obama.
They're trying to make Obama's the hero.
Obama's a great this is it just, as I say, it's an it's an offense to my intelligence and sensibilities.
It's another attack.
A coordinated strategic political attack that's disguised by having it be a bunch of media stuff.
What will the American people be better off after this?
That's we don't know.
Well, will Israel be better off after this?
So that's our genuine ally over this.
Nobody's talking about that.
Nobody's talking about the fact Mubarak was elected in 2005.
You know, he got 88% of the vote.
Okay, go ahead and throw in the fact 30% of it might have been fraud.
He was still elected.
I'm sure he stuffed the ballot boxes just like they do in Chicago.
What's different?
Uh let's see.
This is all.
If you haven't heard some of you, if you if you haven't heard this, The best way is to just tell you.
Connecticut and New Jersey residents with property in New York are about to get a nasty surprise.
New York State wants more taxes from you.
Connecticut and New Jersey residents, and this would be Florida residents.
This would be anybody who used to live in New York, or anybody who owns property in New York, but does not live there.
A New York court ruled last month that all income earned by a New Canaan Connecticut couple is subject to New York State taxes because they own a summer home on Long Island that they used only a few times a year.
Their additional tax bill for the state of New York is 1.06 million dollars.
They live in Connecticut.
They've got a place in the Hamptons they visit three or four times a year.
Every dollar of income earned throughout the year is subject to New York residential income taxes now.
Tax experts and real estate brokers say this ruling could boost the tax bill for thousands of business executives who own New York City apartments that they use now and then.
It could also hurt sales in the Hamptons and New York's other vacation home communities.
People are going to think twice about spending any summertime in New York, said Robert Willens, a New York-based tax consultant.
The amount of tax they could be subjected to is likely to outweigh the benefit.
Let me make this personal.
If you've been listening for a while, you know that I have been subjected to all this.
I sold my fashionable Upper East Side New York Penthouse last year, precisely because of this.
Hell yes, I knew this was coming.
In my case, well, I suspected this was coming based on what my experiences were.
In 1997, I declared that I was leaving New York as a resident.
I did not sell my apartment there.
I moved to Florida, which has no state income tax.
I informed the tax authorities in Albany and New York City that I had moved.
I sent letters.
This is why I'm not filing tax returns.
In the year 2002, I got a letter claiming I owed X amount of dollars in unpaid taxes from 1997.
7.
you And penalties.
Well, we gotta care.
I don't work there.
I don't live there.
They then demanded to know how many days each of those years since 1997 I had worked.
And I had to prove to them 14 different ways for every day of every year in those five where I was.
They even wanted to visit my house in Florida and the New York apartment to see if I was lying.
They want to see which one was really the more lived in.
That didn't happen, but they requested it.
So the way it ended up is, okay, they said you will pay a per diem tax for every day that you are in New York City working.
The income you make that day will be subject to our state and city taxes.
So we had to go back and calculate the days of those five years I was there, make restitution and so forth.
I have been audited every year since.
Turns out every year that I've, well, since 1997, audited every year.
Have to prove a negative every year, and every year, when I document every day where I am 14 different ways.
Computer IP addresses.
I have, I had computer in the New York studio.
has its own IP address.
My New York apartment had its own IP address.
All kinds of different ways.
Yes.
Website pictures.
We sent Ditto Cam pictures.
There's a picture's different from the New York studio to here.
We had to send a hundred pages each year of pictures and video from the Ditto Cam, and they still claimed I was lying to them about it.
And paying legal fees and all this.
So finally, uh last year, I said, you know what?
The hook for all this is this New York apartment.
they really think I'm there more often than I'm admitting because of that New York apartment because I never have any New York hotel credit card receipts or any of that.
So sold the apartment.
Now everybody who is like me is going to be told you are a year-round full-time resident in New York.
If you don't live there, all you have to do is have an apartment there.
Doesn't matter if you live in France.
This story talks about people in Connecticut and New Jersey, but it's going to apply to everybody that owns something in New York, but who doesn't live there.
If they find you, if they find you you own it, you're going to pay tax year-round.
As a as a full-time resident, it used to be that you calculate if you're there 183 days, then you were a full-time resident.
Anything less than half the year you weren't.
Then it went to this per diem business.
Like visiting sports teams, arriving in New York, baseball teams, hockey basketball, they pay New York State and City taxes for the three or four days there in town at a time.
And they supposedly are refunded that amount from the state where they live.
So the Dodgers go in to play the Mets, three-game series.
That's three days of New York State taxes they owe.
California doesn't pick up.
Now, if one of those players happens to own a place in New York, this happened.
Derek Jeter, too, by the way, he lives in Tampa.
He tried to claim Florida residence and so forth.
He got he got soaked for a lot, and of course you his position, high PR, you pay it up.
But now you don't live there, but you have an apartment that you're at two or three times a year.
All of your income is subject to New York State tax.
A court is this is not the New York tax authorities.
This is not Albany.
This is a New York court.
This is not desperate.
They're just out of money.
Well, I would think, yeah, if you if you don't live in the state, isn't that taxation without representation?
But tax law, you're you are guilty until you prove prove yourself innocent.
So that's why I just I got rid of it.
At by the way, this really irritated the left, too, at a really healthy profit during the midst of uh horrible real estate bubble.
That really ticked them off, too.
I'm I'm finding people incredulous over this New York tax story.
I want you to listen to what the judge gave as his reason for this ruling.
The judge's uh Joseph Pinto, a New York administrative law judge, he made this ruling in a 2009 case that was affirmed last month on appeal by the New York State Tax Appeals Tribunal.
Now, of course, a tax court is gonna go along with this.
The judge ruled that this couple in Connecticut, New Canaan couple, ruled that their Long Island vacation home qualified as a permanent abode because it was big enough to be.
It was suitable for year-round living.
It wasn't a cottage, it wasn't, didn't have an outhouse or anything.
It was uh it was a biggie.
Whether or not the couple actually stayed in the home wasn't relevant.
Whether they were in the state of New York did not matter.
They could have been.
And under the ruling, if an owner doesn't spend a single day in a home he owns, it could still count toward permanent residence.
In which case, the owner would have two permanent residents, in this case, Connecticut and New York.
You could have been there.
I have faced that logic in my own audits.
You were closer, you could have been.
So it's uh well, that's what it's worse than insanity.
It's not it's not insanity.
It's authoritarianism.
It's not it's not insanity.
That's the last thing it is.
This is not somebody who's mindless.
This is somebody's perfectly sound mind that has a different view of what freedom is.
This is somebody whose idea of freedom and liberty do not jibe with you and I. By the way, Obama's press availability with the media on Egypt has been scheduled for.
It's originally scheduled for 1.30, and they moved it back to a time to be determined.
Well, I don't think that, now that I know what time they've scheduled it for.
But we're wondering, maybe he hasn't really resigned.
But now that it has been scheduled for, what do you think the time is, Snerdly?
