Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, if I could get people to leave me alone, I would start the program.
Gee whiz.
I think I'm going to have to send a memo out to people who know me to remind them what I do here.
All right.
It took me an hour to eat five bite lunch.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
L Rushbow and the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here already Wednesday, but it's amazing how fast Wednesday comes when you have Monday off.
Whether you're sick or not, telephone number 800 282-2882, email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I have public service, uh ladies and gentlemen.
I I think I need to warn all of you pundits out there who are calling for the violent overthrow of dictatorial leaders who are ignoring the will of their people.
You better make it clear you're talking about Qaddafi.
Because if you don't, you're you're you're gonna get you're gonna get an unwanted visit from the Secret Service.
By the way, did not Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize.
He did, but he won it in in a way that uh I don't think it's ever been awarded before.
He kind of he won the Nobel Peace Prize on the cum, remember.
It was his first year.
He hadn't done anything.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize on the basis that peace was going to break out simply because he was elected and immaculated and serving as the Messiah in the Ovalova.
Whatever happened.
I wonder if these Nobel Prize guys are sitting there.
Question is, or are they thinking of compounding the error and awarding it again?
Given where the Nobel Prize Committee's head is, wouldn't be surprised if he's up for it again.
But no, I'm I'm being I'm I'm serious about this.
He got the Nobel Peace Prize on the cum.
It was like a down payment.
It was um it was an investment in what they were sure was to follow.
It was one of the most ridiculous awards of that, and that's saying something.
It was one of the most ridiculous awards of that prize, and something that in the real world would forever discredit that award.
I mean, you give it to somebody who hadn't done diddly squat.
In addition, you give it to a guy who got where he is by virtue of anti-peaceful stuff, agitating, organizing and all of that.
And it just so here we've got the Nobel Peace Prize winner, and I mean, everything the world's on fire.
You know, back in the days before the French Revolution, the arrest, the aristocrats, the elites of the day, you know what they would do to amuse themselves?
They went to the insane asylums throughout the country.
The aristocrats and the elites went to places like Charendon and other lunatic asylums to observe the wackos and to be amused by them.
Today, they simply interview Charlie Sheen.
You hear this?
This guy's he goes home today, he finds his kids are gone.
They took away his kids, his publicist is left.
I see this guy being interviewed on TV and makes a lot more sense than some of the interviewers do.
Uh just uh no, I'm not defending Charlie Sheen.
I just I'm I'm fascinated by how it's a story.
It really is, and the media doing this just to amuse themselves.
I mean, it is people love looking at a human train wreck.
Oh, and this guy is willing to climb into the uh engineer's chair each and every day and head on down the lunatic tracks and take with him whoever wants to go along and chronicle it.
And I can then we I just I'm I really am stunned that that I as I think about this peace prize being offered on the cum.
It's just Nothing's real.
Nothing's real, nothing makes any sense.
Now, yesterday on this program, we had a news story, a news story on which I commented.
I didn't really say much, I just reported it to you.
That was the story that Eric Holder felt offended having to investigate and perhaps level charges against a new Black Panther Party because those are his people.
He didn't want to, he didn't want to um have to do that.
Those are the quote, my people.
So I report this, and I report the quote by Bartle Bull, suggesting that some of this is hard to understand outrageous.
Bartle Bull, a Democrat.
I get up today and I get an email from somebody, you realize you're being attacked for introducing race into the story.
I said, What?
I am being attacked for introducing race into the story.
Yeah, it's at mediaite.
So I went there, I went to Mediaite, and indeed I, L. Rushball am being accused of introducing race once again in a very risky way into the story of Eric Holder suggesting he didn't want to go anywhere near the Black Panther story because it was uh it was it hurt him because those are his people.
And I'm the one injecting race, and they had a link to explain what they meant about how I am once again riskily involved in injecting race.
And he hit the link, and it goes to another media ice story in which in which they had a cow because we learned the abortion rate in New York is Planned Parenthood, and I simply categorize that as Planned Parenthood finishing the job the clan never could.
I didn't know, but that sent them off.
I mean, oh yeah, that's that that that blew him a new one.
And so when I just happened to mention it, Eric Holder didn't want to get anywhere due to the Black Panther story because they were his people, somehow I, harmless lovable little fuzzball, minding my own business, bothering nobody, and accused of inject once again getting very risky injecting race into the story.
Meanwhile, there's I guess well, you know what it is?
The left can say and do anything.
They, in fact, the left can abort 60% of black babies, and that's cool.
Let me report it, and all hell breaks loose.
Eric Holder can say, I'm not prosecuting a new Black Panthers, those are my people.
Can you imagine if um Edward Meese, attorney general during Reagan?
Hell no, we're not gonna go after that group.
Those are my people.
That's a bunch of white guys.
Can't you imagine what would happen?
So I'm I'm I point all this out, and it proves that we conservatives are we're not allowed to mention a word, we're not allowed to talk about it, we can't even report it.
They can sit there and literally preside over the death of 60% of black babies in the womb.
Via Planned Parenthood.
And that's none of your business, Limboy, you shut up.
It's very racist of you to mention that.
Racist to mention it?
What about what about the actual act here?
60% of African American pregnancies into an abortion in New York.
I'm not an abortion, I'm not an I don't work in Planned Parenthood.
I have nothing to do with that outcome.
Meanwhile, in the Jerusalem Post, Nation of Islam leader, Calypso Louis Farrakhan, says his comments on Jews are meant to pull a cover off Satan, and that Zionists dominate the U.S. government and banks.
This guy's a good friend of Jeremiah Wright, Obama's preacher.
He's a good friend of Moamer Qaddafi.
Anybody denounce this guy?
Nation of Islam leader Lewis, what are you doubting me?
H.R. in the IFB.
He said, where did he see?
Jerusalem Post, of course it didn't make it here.
Jerusalem Post a lot of stuff ends up in the foreign press.
It doesn't happen here.
Here's what it says here.
He said it on Tuesday at the um at the Nation of Islam annual meeting on Tuesday, Chicago.
Nation of Islam leader Calypso Lewis said Jews and Zionists are trying to push the U.S. into war and are a cover for Satan.
President Obama, Farrakhan said, if you allow the Zionists to push you to mount a military offensive against Gaddafi, and you go in and kill him and his sons, as you did with Saddam Hussein and his sons, I'm warning you.
This is a Libyan problem.
Let the Libyans solve their problem among themselves.
Farrakhan called Muammar Qaddafi my brother and my friend.
My people.
Just like Eric Holder referred to the new Black Panther crowd as my people.
Farrakhan, nobody's denouncing this guy.
And nobody's denouncing the Reverend Wright.
Farrakhan also accused American Zionists of attempting to push Israel into war with Iran, adding that the Zionists dominate the government of the United States of America and her banking system.
One panel at the conference titled A Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jew.
This is at the Nation of Islam Conference.
One panel claimed that the Jews were disproportionately involved in the slave trade to accused them of controlling the media.
Farrakhan said, some of you think that I'm just somebody who's got something out for the Jewish people.
You're stupid.
You think I'd waste my time?
You think I waste my time if I didn't think it was important for you to know Satan?
My job's to pull a cover off of Satan so they'll never deceive you and the people of the world again.
In response, the ADL National Director Abe Foxman said, Rush limbos are racist, and we demand an apology.
And we'll be back right after this.
Don't go away.
On the cutting edge Rush Limbaugh, percolating effervescing.
The excellence in broadcasting network, happy to have you along.
Our telephone number 800 28282.
Just a few weeks ago, Qaddafi was calling for Arab uh the Arab world to rise up against Israel.
And now Calypso Lewis is talking about uprisings against America.
Who do you think Farrakhan sees as some of the first targets in these uprisings?
Who do you think it'd be?
The Jews.
Apparently, Qaddafi said he can't leave because he's he's not the president.
He says he's not a president, he's not a king.
He's a colonel.
He hadn't even gotten a promotion to general all these years.
So he has no power, no position to step down from.
He's just an inspiration.
He's just a Messiah.
This is not good, folks.
Let's hope we don't face this same line of reasoning in 2012.
I'm Barack Obama, and I can't resign.
You never know.
Then I'm I'm doing show prep, and I can't I I can't come across something I really can't I can't believe.
I said the politico has to got this wrong.
And I got the soundbite roster.
And Politico did not get this wrong.
Political story, White House faces key test on Libya crisis.
So I'm reading the story.
So okay, what's the key test according to Libya?
And the politico.
So I read now says Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and United Nations ambassadors, Susan Rice, have spoken with increasing force against Gaddafi.
But Clinton on Tuesday was clear about what she regards as the dangers of a military response.
Now listen to this.
This is what Mrs. Clinton said, the Secretary of State.
Quote, if you follow as we follow all of the websites that are looking at what's happening in the Middle East, you see a constant drumbeat that the United States is going to invade Libya to take over The oil, and we can't let that happen.
She said this to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, adding a second justification of earlier White House warnings that posturing could have endangered American citizens who had not left the country.
We can't use the military here, including in the defense and evacuation of our own people because of what websites are saying about taking over Libya for the oil.
Well, what kind of website would be saying that kind of blather?
Move on.org, some far left site?
And I said, that can't be.
It can't be.
I know these guys during Iraq and the Bush administration, no blood for oil and all that, and they're running around saying that the only reason we went into Iraq was for the oil.
But now we've got people who believe that tripe not projecting American power in America's best interest because they fear what's being said on websites about taking over Libyan oil.
And by the way, what would have been wrong if we had taken over Iraqi oil?
Did we not liberate the place?
Did we not rebuild the infrastructure of the Iraqi oil business to make it worth something?
And produce oil and export it.
Why in the world are we not entitled to it?
So I got the soundbite roster, and she said it yesterday morning on the House Foreign Affairs Committee's some hearing.
She's talking to Republican Steve Shabbat, Republican Ohio.
He said our unwillingness to use or threaten to use force to protect our own citizens has left many around the world pointing to the incident as a sign of weakness of the American will.
What led the regime to believe that threatening force to protect our own citizens would have been provocative?
Could you please explain this to us, Secretary Clinton?
We feel that uh we did this in a prudent and effective manner, and we did it in a way that did not raise the alarm bells around the region and the world that we were about to invade for oil.
For crying outlet, nobody believed that we were invading Iraq for the oil except except extreme nut cases like Mrs. Clinton and her crowd back in 2003.
Even before that, even all the way back at desert storm in in the 90s, they accused us of going into a rock for Iraq's oil.
Well, what what kind of insanity was that the people running this country don't even want ours?
The people running the United States have shut down our own oil drilling.
Why in the world would people think we want to go take Libya's?
The people running the United States hate oil.
To them, it may as well be DDT.
It may as well be some kind of poison.
We are the only country that is not profiting from Iraq's oil.
The Chicoms are profiting from it.
Russia is.
They all have oil dies will I rock.
We don't.
And why?
Well, because somebody's gotten a hold of the leadership of this country or running around everything we do is laden with guilt.
We do this because we're guilty, we do that because we're guilty.
We don't want people to think we're evil, mean, or whatever, so we are sacrificing our own national interests to prove to a bunch of worthless dictators and schlubs that we're not what the American left says we are.
So here's Hillary Clinton admitting, oh no, we we we can't use uh military force to protect American citizens.
Why they might think we're going in there for the oil.
Are you kidding me?
Mind a boggling.
We have to show the Arabs we don't want to steal their oil, right?
Because, as everybody knows we stole Iraq's oil?
No, no, we're the only country that doesn't have a damn thing to do with any oil from Iraq.
Administration officials have ruled out the notion of involving American ground troops in what could become a complicated, unpredictable civil war in Libya.
But the U.S. is now openly considering the idea of a no-fly zone for Libya's Air Force.
We did one in Kosovo, by the way.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said Tuesday the regime was considering a military response to Qaddafi's attempts to beat back the rebellion.
So we have to prove to the world that we will never act in our own country's best interests.
That's what we have to do.
This witnesses, this is the foreign policy of this of this bunch of incompetence.
It appears so, folks.
Hi, welcome back.
I am Rush Limboy.
This is the most listened to radio talk show in the country.
Great to have you with us.
We'll get to your phone calls in a moment.
This is kind of an interesting story founded at National Review Online.
Christian Schneider, you know, the number one and two enemies in Wisconsin are Charles and David Koch.
Now, this this next story is delicious.
It's a nice find.
When the history books record this business in Wisconsin, public employee unions will have plenty of villains.
They'll remember Governor Scott Walker.
They'll revile the assembly speakers, Jeff Fitzgerald.
But for the left, the most enduring villain might be the billionaire Koch brothers.
And the Koch brothers are being especially vilified in Wisconsin because they had the nerve to donate to Scott Walker's campaign for governor.
They gave Candidate Walker 43,000.
It's a whopping 0.46% of his total contributions of $9 million.
So the evil Koch brothers give 43 grand out of 9.1 million, and they are hated and reviled.
Now one frequently vile Buffalo Beast.com blogger Ian Murphy pranked called Walker.
He pretended to be David Koch, thinking that'd be the most embarrassing call Walker could take.
The vitriol from protesting Wisconsin workers toward the Koch emerged quickly and intensely.
Signs ranging between lame and vulgar.
The public union marches.
But what the protesters don't realize is that they actually have a reason to root for the Koch brothers.
Yes.
According to the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, the Wisconsin retirement system owns five and a half million dollars in Georgia Pacific corporate bonds.
Georgia Pacific is owned by Coke Industries.
This is the retirement system in which the overwhelming majority of state local employees participate.
These are the pension benefits that public employees are trying so hard to protect.
So the people that manage their pension fund have invested in coke industries, essentially.
And these ignorant rank and file dopes are out there protesting the Cokes while the Cokes are managing and growing their investment.
So here's the challenge.
Explain to a Wisconsin state worker that they are the ones helping fund the Coke brothers and then sit back and watch the fund.
Now, uh $1.5 million out of uh an $18.5 billion fixed income bond funds, not a whole lot of money, but still they are invested in it.
I just I find this uh delicious.
But the real scandal here is the size of that pension fund, $18.5 billion.
Now bear in mind, it is entirely paid for with Wisconsin taxpayer money.
And also bear in mind it's nevertheless underfunded.
The $18.5 billion is not enough to cover what is due in pension retirement, health care, blah, blah, blah, payments.
So you taxpayers in Wisconsin in just in just one fund here, $18.5 billion.
That's your taxpayer dollars.
That's what these people are walking out of the job over.
They want you to how many of you.
You know, like in fact, look at it this way.
Remember the old privatized social security debate?
George W. Bush proposed that you have a little control over your investment retirement fund, that you invest your own dollars in your own account.
And remember the hell that broke loose.
Well, what the market is the market goes down.
You're just going to make Wall Street brokers rich.
This is a shame.
This is a shame.
Well, lose money and so forth.
Yet you who are denied control over your own retirement, you in Wisconsin and everywhere else in the country where you have state employee public unions.
Your tax dollars have gone into a fund that's $18.5 billion, and it's not enough still.
That's the real scander scandal.
Not that five and a half million of it is invested with the Cax.
18.5 billion dollars.
And it's not enough.
Still not enough.
I know I can't look at I'm I'm sorry, I can't.
I can't get over this this Hillary Clinton business.
I I this is where the rubber meets the road.
You know, I've always said that the left is hilarious when they're out of power.
When they get power, they're really dangerous.
When they're out of power, they run around and they can accuse us of blood for oil and trying to take over Iraq or Libya for oil and so forth.
They get in power and they do not represent the national interest of the United States on the basis of that kind of idiocy.
Here's Hillary Clinton projecting her own idiocy onto a nut job dictator who himself never said what Hillary is saying about it.
Qaddafi never said we're after his oil.
It's the left in this country.
Combined IQ of five.
It's the left in this country that claims we're out doing all these horrible things in the world.
And now we've elected them.
And now they're implementing this paranoia.
They're actively engaged in the in implementing policies that not only are not in the best interests of the United States, they're actively opposing the best interests of the United States.
And they want credit for what?
For being understanding and not willing to offend.
Understanding the rather the way the rest of the world looks at it.
Why with Obama do they look at us this way anymore?
I thought with Obama, all that stuff about the American people being evil and greedy and stealing all the rest of the world's resources.
I thought that was all going to come to a screeching halt.
Obama's been around apologizing for all that.
I thought with Obama as head of the regime, the world was going to stop thinking about us this way.
But yet we've got the wacko websites like moveon.org and who the heck knows whoever else claiming that we're going into Libya for the oil, and so this is no, well, we can't we can't make uh we don't want these people to be right.
Well, I know Marines were in Tripoli and left.
I I just is it reassuring, uh, ladies and gentlemen, to uh to know that our country's foreign policy is in the hands of people who post comments at the Daily Coast and the Huffington Post, because that's essentially what's happening.
The lunatics that populate those websites, it's their policy, their beliefs that are running American foreign policy.
I mean, that's where you hear this clap trap about stealing the world's oil.
I guess that's so much better than having foreign policy decisions made by some arrogant cowboy like George W. Bush.
Let me grab quick phone call here before we go to the break.
Where is it?
Portland, Oregon, and Blake.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIV network.
Hello.
Hey, good morning, Russ.
Hey, this is really a distinct honor to talk to you today.
Thank you very much, sir.
You bet.
Hey, I just I just wanted to tell you, you you're you did so good on the Haney Project.
It was just fantastic.
Well, thank you very much.
Did you see them all?
Oh, yeah, I've watched them all at least twice.
Just one more thing, and then I'll let you go.
That up and down you got out of the sand last night.
Yep.
That was a PGA up and down.
That was really awesome, Rush.
Thank you very much.
That was keep up the good fight, and it was a pleasure talking to you.
Yes, I appreciate that.
I really do.
That was a uh downhill twelve-footer, ten footer.
It was uh and for a case of vodka.
A case of vodka for all my buddies on team vodka was riding on that putt.
Bam.
And it was uh center of the cup, yeah, won the cigars.
You watched it too, Dawn.
You watched it too.
Hey, you were proud of me?
Guys, no.
Nobody ever says they're proud of me anymore.
It never happens.
They just expect excellent.
Ha.
How are you?
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Listen to this.
You remember uh, ladies and gentlemen, on on the day that the uh the Democrats passed Obamacare on that ill fated Sunday.
You had uh John Lewis, who had been beat upside the head in film, was walking next to Nancy Pelosi, that giant gavel, and all these Democrats are walking through the Tea Party crowd on the way to Capitol for the final vote.
And they uh they said that they were heard they had the N-word was being shouted at them, and they were being spat on and all these things.
Nobody could ever find any evidence to substantiate one allegation.
And yet, the descent into barbarianism in Wisconsin by the left, is patently obvious for everybody to see.
Now I want you to hear this is the Democrat Party.
The same people that lied about being spit on and have racist threats at the tea parties, nothing like that ever happened.
This is yesterday outside the state capitol building.
Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman is chased and trapped by hecklers as he's trying to get someplace.
All right, that's enough of it.
All they did is just yelling, shame, shame.
We didn't repeat any of the shames.
Now, this guy, Growthman, this guy, this guy is great.
Last night on PMS NBC, the last word during a discussion of why Scott Walker wants to close the Capitol.
This is what Growthman said.
We're trying to keep some people out of the building because right now the building's becoming a pig sty.
The building smells.
We used to have nice little groups of fourth grade children walking through the building.
There was something called the seven scholar programs in which high school kids could track us around.
All that's being shut down by a bunch of slobs taking up the building.
We can no longer continue to have all these slobs in the building.
College students who are having a fun party.
That's largely who's in the building overnight.
And if you get up early and talk to who's in the building at 7 a.m., you will find it is largely college students and hangers on having a party in the state capitol.
Why not?
Nobody's teaching anybody anything.
So forth, plus union thugs, joined together in creating a pig sty.
And we know that they create pig styes.
Especially compared to Tea Party.
If you you look at any public grounds where these people have been, the trash is littered everywhere, trash cans are overturned, beer cans, bong pipes.
Hell, it's all over there.
The Tea Party people, you don't find anything.
Not even a disclosed, I mean a discarded tissue.
Leftist protesters find co-texes, use co-texes, and everything did littering the sidewalks and the streets.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, it's just it's it's the height of pig styism.
They're just all over the place out there.
Here's Growthman again.
He was asked, of course, Senator, before we go, I want I want to get one clarification from you about the crowds.
Are you saying that all these protesters here are slobs?
No, of course not.
But the people who are staying overnight are largely making a mess of our capital.
That's what you're addressing.
Why are we keeping people out of the building?
Because we do not want to have so many people there overnight to facing our beautiful capital.
If you would interview all the people who are creating a ruckus, the vast majority who are here today are not police officers or nurses.
They are either college students or hangers on.
or unemployed people just looking for somewhere to hang out.
Right.
The Democrats want you to think that the media wants you to think it's just a bunch of average, hardworking, out-of-work, valiant teachers.
And firefighters and so forth, and it's a bunch of slobs.
Maggot infested dope smoking, damn it, hell no, long haired all of a whole yes, the whole nine yards.
You got a long-haired maggot-infested dope smoking FM rock and roller types, exactly who they are.
Bong pipes, you name it.
Now I mean so what what Governor Walker and other governors around the country are offering public sector unions is beyond generous.
It's outlandish.
It's irresponsible.
Wisconsin bureaucrats ought to be kissing this governor's feet for what he's offering them during these economic times.
States that are running deficits should not be contributing to pensions or health care plans.
Now that may sound cruel or unfair, but what's fair?
Fair is spending money that you have.
Fair is spending your own money that you have.
Now in the private sector, when the money runs out, entire jobs go away.
Businesses go away.
When the money is running out, all but the essentials are dropped.
Free office launches, business trips, bonuses, new office, furniture, upgraded computers, software, health insurance, contributions to retirement accounts, all that gone.
To continue to pay for anything beyond keeping the lights on and salaries is plain stupid if the goal is to keep the business alive.
See, in the private sector, the purpose of a business is not to give you health care.
The private sector, the purpose of a business is not to give you a retirement or sick days or trips to the vet.
Thank you.
The public sector, that's exactly what jobs are seen as.
It makes me sick.
Can you tell I'm in a kind of a ticked-off mood today?
I mean, it makes me sick to watch angry, militant, ungrateful state employees with jobs.
Complain that they can't receive extravagant benefit and pension contributions from people who have no money because they are out of work.
No one's asked them to dip into their savings.
That's what people in the private sector having to do.
God bless, this is so upside down.
When the money runs out, there should be zero contributions to pensions and health insurance.
And if that doesn't cover the tab, then the job is cut.
Now, this governor, Governor Walker, is as generous a boss as there is in the real world.
Where businesses have to stand on their own two feet and on their own balance sheets.
We're not we're not talking about soldiers at war dying for their country.
I understand paying warriors to protect the country and going deep into debt to do it, police and firemen, but for crying out loud here.
We're not talking about people in foxholes.
We're talking about people like all the rest of us.
Yet we are expected to put public sector union members on a pedestal and sell off our private property to damn near fully fund every benefit beyond salary they have and what they are demanding.
Nobody gets that kind of deal in the real world.
Bureaucrats are not a protected species.
They aren't in some endangered list.
They're a dime a dozen.
Like the rest of us.
Charles de Gaulle didn't say much I liked, but this he did say.
graveyards are full of indispensable men, and we will be back.
I'm just saying, folks, that anybody, anybody who bows down to this kind of behavior that we are seeing in Wisconsin, we're going to see it in Ohio and Indiana.
Anybody who bows down to that has no business being in charge of other people's money.
When the money runs out, dip into your own pockets like everybody else.
That's what's fair.
You don't go run down to your neighbors, say give me some money.
But that's what these union people are doing throughout the states of Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana.
