Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
It's why you're here.
It's also a good show.
Another reason why you're here.
We're happy to have you here.
We're happy to be here.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
The email address, lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
So a frustrated caller in the first hour.
Where is our Churchill?
Now, she's specifically focusing on Chris Christie.
She thinks Christie is the answer to our problems.
And she said, look, he says he's not ready.
Well, I'm sorry.
We don't have time for somebody to say they're not ready.
Churchill didn't say he's not ready.
Churchill answered a call.
Churchill didn't have the luxury of saying he wasn't ready.
It's serious.
Churchill, he knew what Hitler was up to.
That's important to understand that Churchill's the only one in the British hierarchy who dared think that of him.
I mean, they had their heads in the sand like crazy on Hitler.
They thought Churchill was nuttier than Hitler was when Churchill was trying to warn them.
They thought that they need to commit Churchill to the asylum.
He became up until the Neville Chamberlain, well, when they invaded Poland, but he really, I can't describe it for you, they thought he was, Pariah was a nut.
He was the crazy ant in the basement that Ross Perot always talked about that every family has.
It was somebody that had to be tolerated because of his previous contributions and so forth, but he had gone off the rails on this Hitler business.
But what did it take?
What element was there for Churchill to rise up?
And that element was Hitler.
In other words, to become a Churchill, you first have to believe that you're facing a Hitler.
Now, what if, I know it's easy, Snerdley poo-poos this, but what if, I'll mention it, what if Chris Christie or any of these other people, either the Republican gang right now, those who are, we're pretty sure are in, and those that we'd like to see in that aren't, like Bobby Jindal and Rubio and Alan West.
What if, what if they don't see it as dire as our first caller from Canada?
Now, don't poo-poo this.
All right, now, wait a second, wait a second.
Snerdley just asked me.
I'm going to tell you, this is the single source of the greatest frustration we all have.
Snerdley just said, how can anybody not see it?
I would dare say, Snerdley, half the country doesn't see it.
Now, the polling data would suggest that we're moving closer to people seeing it.
But there's a story in the Wall Street Journal today about all these hedge fund guys that gave all this money and raised all this money for Obama, who are now going to raise money and give money to the Republicans.
I read the story, and I might share it with you.
Here I have it in the stack.
It focuses on a couple of them.
It also focuses on some hedge fund guys who are still going to raise money and give everything they can to Obama.
Now, everybody makes an assumption about people with money, and that is that they're smarter than everybody else because they have a lot of money.
There's something about wealth that connotes intelligence.
But I'm telling you, where is the brain in any hedge fund guy who supports Obama?
Why do we automatically assume there's intelligence there?
Unless there is a specific crony capitalist arrangement between that particular hedge fund guy and Obama, which kinds of things he's doing.
Jeffrey Imelt at GE, classic example of crony capitalism, which is Obama essentially compromising one.
But the crony capitalist, in this case, Imelt, I mean, he's not paying any taxes.
His company's getting all kinds of government investment.
His company's growing with government dollars.
That's his job.
So if it's easier to get government money to grow the bottom line, to go out and sell stuff, grow the bottom line, and he'll do it.
You think Imelt cares a hell of a whit where the country's headed?
You think Imelt looks at Obama as Hitler?
More like the Easter money, more like a gift every day.
And Obama's Christmas morning for GE.
Obama is an adult Christmas for, well, now over half the country in terms of what they're getting, dependence and so forth.
So when you say who could possibly not understand the dire circumstances, I'm telling you it's a lot of people that don't see it that way.
I'm telling you that ML may not care about $14 trillion in debt as long as GE is okay.
Of course he sees $14 trillion, but he may not think it's a problem.
Why in the world would Imlt think it's a problem when GE's going through the roof?
Why should he care?
Oh, the hell with a country.
He's a citizen of the world.
GE sells and makes stuff all over the place.
They don't think the country's going to collapse.
That's exactly what I'm telling you.
You and I sit here, we think he wins in 2012 and the country is, we know it's over.
That's what we think.
Especially if Obama keeps appointing judges.
And if the judiciary just becomes an extended Democrat Congress with lifetime appointments, then, you know, that's why the Supreme Court decision on not fast-tracking Obamacare on this Virginia lawsuit, that's very troubling to me.
But there are a lot of people who don't put the country first.
A lot of people are self-focused.
So I'm not talking, I don't know this about Chris Christie or any of these other guys.
I'm just throwing it out there as a possibility.
The Republican leadership is not acting like the country is facing an imminent threat.
The GOP leadership doesn't see it the way we do.
Do you think they do?
Paul Ryan does, but the whole leadership, do you think, who are the Republicans trying to marginalize?
They're trying to marginalize the De Mints.
They're trying to marginalize the Tea Party people.
The Republicans don't see it that way.
Or if they do, they don't want to roll up the sleeves and act on it.
They don't want to work that hard.
All I'm doing is just I'm responding to the woman's question.
She wanted to know why, in this case, Christie, is sitting back and saying, I'm not ready.
There's also the possibility that he honestly thinks he's not.
Now, she doesn't want to accept that because the circumstances are such that where's the leadership?
Country hangs in the balance.
You're not ready is not an excuse.
It might be to him.
Clearly, Obama wasn't ready from our perspectives, but from his, he was made to order.
From somebody's perspective, Obama was made to order.
From somebody's perspective, Obama is doing a flawless job.
From somebody's perspective, Obama's the best president we've ever had.
This is the kind of stuff that we are dealing with.
When you ask me, sir, it's a great question.
When you ask me who doesn't see that the country is on the brink of collapse, another better question is how many people are happy to realize that?
And how do they vote?
They vote Democrat.
So it's like I say, you have to believe you're facing a Hitler in order to become a Churchill.
And by the way, folks, don't anybody start getting infantile here and say that we're comparing Obama to Hitler.
You can make those comparisons on social policy, healthcare, the way the Nazis, the Socialist Party that ran things.
We're not talking about the World War II Hitler here.
Don't go batty on me.
Don't get all childish and immature.
You know what I mean?
And you know what I don't mean.
And don't start trying to screw it up.
The point is that I talk, I talk to a lot of Republican leaders.
I'm telling you, I don't hear myself when I listen to them talk.
And I don't know that they hear me.
I don't know how many elected Republicans actually think as we do or see the future of the country as we do.
Chalk it up to ruling class, chalk it up to some people who may not think that there's a whole lot here worth preserving.
I mean, country's made up of all kinds of people with all kinds of beliefs.
And we're having all kinds of arguments.
Now, those of us who fashion ourselves as the epitome of patriotic Americans who are devoted to the preservation of this country is founded, we find it intellectually difficult to believe or understand how this country could be so reviled and hated, but it is.
I mean, it is despised by people born and raised here and who have lived here their whole lives.
And they vote too.
And they vote for anybody who's going to make them think that they also see the country that way.
And I guarantee you that's going to be Democrats far more often than anybody else.
I don't know how many people actually look at the future of the country and see things that are apocalyptic.
So for the woman's question to be answered in an accurate way, we'd have to first find out if the people she wants to run see the future as she does.
But isn't that what's frustrating that so many people don't see it the way we do?
On our side, forget the Democrats.
We know that they don't.
Here's another USA Today story.
There's all kinds of stories with polling data.
Republicans may be ready for a fling with Donald Trump, but USA Today Gallup poll shows they have reservations about installing him in the White House.
The real estate developer and reality TV star who scores at the top in polls of the GOP field these days, by the way, Trump's going to New Hampshire and they are selling out.
People are paying to attend Trump political rallies.
He's got seven or eight of them.
They are having to move them to larger venues.
And people are scalping tickets to Trump political rallies in some places in New Hampshire, paying as much as $3,000 a ticket to get into a 700-seat arena to hear Trump make a political speech.
They've gone out in one place, they had to upgrade the arena, the hall to the capacity of 1,000.
Now, who sells out political events?
Normally, even Obama has to go out and have his aides drag stragglers into them.
No politician sells out a town hall.
They have to go out there and drag people, bribe them, pay them off, give them a $20 certificate of Taco Bell to come in and sit in the right place at an Obama town hall.
Now, buried in this story on Trump, 46% of Americans will definitely not vote for Obama.
That's the lead, but you don't see it.
It's buried in this story.
And in this USA Today poll is this, only 38% of Americans say Obama definitely was born in the USA.
Only 38%.
You know what the latest is on this whole birth certificate thing?
There's a Hawaii state senator who says it's not a question of where he was born.
Nobody, everybody out here understands he was born here.
The question is, why won't he produce the birth certificate?
And the answer to that is this guy speculates that Obama doesn't want people to know the name he was actually born with, like Barry Sotoro.
That Obama might not be his birth name.
This guy's speculating, state senator in Hawaii, there's something on that birth certificate he doesn't want people to see.
Maybe who his real father is.
Maybe his real father is not Barack Hussein Obama.
Maybe his father was this Lolo Sotoro guy.
This is the speculation on this now.
It's not where he was born.
Now Trump's out there saying, hey, you know, he keeps doubling down.
He told somebody some morning show.
He said, look, now they can't find it.
Now they can't find it, period.
Now they can't find the birth certificate.
Now, I know why Trump appeals to people.
And a previous caller had it right.
He appeals to people because he's taking it to Obama.
He's not afraid of him.
He's taking it to the Democrats.
Trump's got it baggage elsewhere and it'll surface like it's giving $50,000 to Rahm Emanuel.
That's going to require a little bit more of an explanation than we've gotten so far.
And the flip-flops on abortion, social issues, all that stuff will all take care of itself as things unfold.
But people are into it because right now, people on our side are craving leadership, outspoken, confident leadership, somebody who's willing to say what they believe.
They don't want to hear Republicans use the language of the left.
They don't want to hear Republicans say we can't balance the budget on the backs of the poor.
They don't want to hear Republicans say, yep, the big oil people must pay their fair share.
Don't want to hear that.
You can hear that every day.
You hear that from Chuck Schumer.
You can hear it from the media.
You can hear from Obama.
You don't want to hear.
You want to hear from people on your side what you believe.
And you want to hear it forcefully expressed with confidence.
But in this poll, USA Today, 46% of Americans will definitely not vote for Obama.
54% said that they definitely would.
Let's take a brief time out.
We've got much more.
Plus, your phone calls coming up back immediately here on the EIB network.
Okay, we're back and we're going to go to the phones.
People obviously wait a long time to appear on this program.
We've done research.
The longest wait to appear on any program in the media is this one.
And it's so important to people that they do it.
And we like to reward their patience, giving them at least 30 seconds.
Vicki in Brooksville, Kentucky, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It is an honor once again to speak with you.
Thank you very much.
I want to tell you up front, I'm on a cell phone, so we have that out of the way.
But I wanted to try to explain why I think that Donald Trump, who I think is just horrible candidate for the Republicans, is catching on with so many Republicans.
It's because he talks like he's got some balls.
And I'm begging, I'm begging for somebody in the Republican Party to step forward that's got some balls.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Okay, I'm going to tell you.
Everything that's coming out of Republicans' mouths sounds like it has been put through some sort of PC machine.
And I'm sick of it.
Just talk plain.
Well, now, wait a minute.
If you're sick of that, what?
All right, fine.
Okay.
Trump's got balls.
The other guys don't, but you don't like Trump.
You want somebody with balls.
Trump's got them, but you don't like him.
Why?
Well, I don't like Trump for a myriad of reasons.
There's a thousand different reasons.
I think he's a publicity whore.
I think he's an awful candidate.
You know, I don't think that he would be a good candidate for the Republican Party.
I don't think he's a conservative, first of all.
That's first and foremost.
I do think he has a skewed view of conservative.
I think somebody's given him a bit of a misread on the conservative base.
So I'll grant you that.
But it is a problem.
Look, I'm not being serious.
I was joking.
I know what you mean when you say people lack some fortitude.
I don't know what the fear is.
I mean, I've tried to figure it out.
I've considered still fear of race.
Any criticism of Obama is going to result in him being called racist.
That fear, I think, is always going to be there.
I think fear of the Republican hierarchy.
There is this notion that you wait till it's your turn.
I know, and that's the part that kills me because we've had Gary.
We've had McCain.
I mean, for God's sake, can we please get somebody who's a real conservative and talks like one?
That's all I want.
That's all I want.
People would go crazy nuts in this.
Who do you have in mind?
Is there anybody out there that you wish?
Oh, Alan, you named him.
Alan West.
Amen, brother.
And Chris Christie.
And Paul Ryan, even.
I mean, I don't care.
Somebody who acts like a conservative, who is a conservative, and can prove that they're conservative.
I'm just sick and tired of rhino people getting the nomination because it's their turn.
Well, I'm sorry, but this country's going to hell in a handbasket, and we've got to stop giving people their turn.
Yeah, I know that's a big stumbling point with people, but it does.
If you want to rise within the ranks of power of the Republican Party, you wait your turn.
It's a business like anything else.
It's got its caste system.
I'm not defending it.
Just explaining the way it works.
We've got to be back in just a moment.
We will be.
And we're back on the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
Now, you talk about where's our big conservative leader?
Where is the conservative?
You see what happens to them in Sarah Palin.
Now, there are any number of explanations for what has happened to Sarah Palin.
Remember the story we had yesterday from Politico, in which I said, I don't think I have ever seen a more purposeful, willful effort to destroy, impugn, degrade everything else, a person's character, reputation, and life as though it was a game.
It happens every day in the leftist media, but that story yesterday and the eagerness with which the left is looking toward the destruction of Palin.
Now, imagine, folks, none of this stuff happens in a vacuum.
And I'm not offering excuses for anybody.
I'm just trying to explain.
You know, people ask questions.
I'm trying to explain.
Suppose you are a Republican candidate and you see that.
Let me ask any of you, how would you like to have that kind of press coverage of your life?
The constant investigation, the lies, paparazzi constantly following reporters buying the house next door to where you live.
As much as anything, this takedown of Sarah Palin is a warning to anybody else who's thinking about trying it.
We can get you too.
Don't think they don't think that.
Now you might understand why they speak through the PC machine or try to keep a close vest as to what their real intentions are.
I'm guessing here, folks.
I don't have answers here with ontological certitude, but you ask yourself these questions.
And I know that there is paranoia on the Republican side about being seen as friends of big oil.
People on our side think the media is setting a trap every time they ask about big oil.
That's why our guys will say, no, I don't think big oil needs to be paying their fair share.
It's just the path of least resistance.
It's easier.
Sarah Palin, drill, baby, drill.
Look at what they've done to those three words, drill, baby, drill.
They have built an entire policy around destroying that whole concept, even though it's the epitome of common sense and logic.
Drill, baby, drill.
The left is a formidable bunch, and there aren't a whole lot of people who want to take them on.
There aren't just in politics, there just aren't a whole lot of people who want to take them on.
I don't know, it's a scary thing for a lot of people.
Meanwhile, here's Obama shaking down BP.
He gets the, remember that $20 billion slush fund he got from BP?
And he hadn't spent it.
It was ostensibly to make people whole who had lost all in the BP spill.
But no, they've only spent $3.8 billion of it.
Interesting, isn't it?
And meanwhile, it's the GOP that's in the back pocket of big oil.
Big oil is donating all this money to Obama.
Obama shakes a finger at them.
BP says, how much do you want?
How much do you want?
And they run a check for $20 billion.
There's genuine fear of these people.
Ask Scooter Libby.
Ask Robert Bork.
Ask Clarence Thomas.
Look at what happens.
I'm, again, I'm just throwing out possible answers.
You're going to call here and you're going to ask me things.
And I'm going to do my best to answer the question.
I think the left hates Sarah Palin because she reminds them of why they hate themselves.
You have to understand who you're dealing with in the left.
The self-loathing and the self-hatred on the left.
We're not dealing with happy people.
These are people, you've heard the phrase, miserably happy.
That's them.
Something has to be wrong every day, or there's not happiness in their lives.
Something has to be wrong.
Something has to be going wrong.
Something might go wrong.
Or else, it's like the old saw that are a lot of people afraid of success.
Trust me, I've met a bunch of them.
They can't handle it.
They don't believe it's real.
That success happens to them, and they're so convinced that they don't deserve it and it isn't going to last that they don't live it because they're afraid they're going to lose it anyway.
So they go ahead and throw it away early rather than suffer the loss of losing it.
I have never been afraid of success, but there are a lot of people are.
Fear, you have no idea how much it governs everybody's life.
Everybody's actions.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Obama got more from BP than any other candidate before the oil spill.
And look what he still did to him.
CBS New York Times poll reports that a plurality of Americans approve of Paul Ryan's Medicare reforms.
Now, folks, let's go back to yesterday because there's another side to this.
Let's go back to yesterday.
Yesterday, I made it plain that I don't buy one syllable of this notion that Obama's a shoe-in for re-election.
One of the reasons why is I live in Realville.
I don't need these polls to tell me.
I don't need, when 46% say they'd never vote for Obama, 70% disapprove, 70% think the future of the country is on the wrong track.
Nobody needs to get very detailed with me.
I understand.
I look at the November election results.
I know that the vast majority of people who vote and who make this country work have no desire for another four years of this guy.
But there are a lot of people alive in this country who have nothing to do with making it work, and they vote too.
And sadly, the people who make the country work are a dwindling number.
Even so, if the election were today, Obama would lose in a landslide.
Don't doubt me.
To the point it wouldn't matter who the Republican nominee is.
The anti-Obama sentiment in this country is profound.
You just don't trust me saying it because you don't see it reported anywhere and you don't see in the media any evidence of it.
Well, of course not.
They're going to do everything they can to cover that up and hide it and act like it doesn't exist.
That's why a rising oil price is a godsend for the Democrats and the media.
It's an automatic example opportunity to start blaming Republicans for all this because it fits the template, the decades-old narrative of Republicans being in bed with big business.
The simple fact of the matter is the Democrat Party is destroying this country.
It's destroying the future for your kids and grandkids.
And the people who make this country work know it.
And you give them a chance, another referendum, Obama, if it's November and 2012 or tomorrow.
He's gone.
Circumstances exist as they are.
And if Vernon does QE3, if there is more spending to keep the stock market propped up, because that's what that's all about, keep the stock market propped up.
That's what QE2 is about.
That's just going to lead to higher prices, more inflation, food, gasoline, those two commodities.
They can't lie to you and tell you you're wrong.
Gasoline costs five bucks a gallon.
They can't tell you you're wrong.
It's only three.
They can't lie to you about what your food and gasoline costs.
They can lie to you about the unemployment number.
They can lie to you about the economic growth number.
But they can't lie to you about the cost of living because you're alive and you live it.
So if they have to do some more spending here in their convoluted theory to save Obama, hello, we're not going to.
Do you see, is there anything on the books, anything on the table right now, policy-wise, that is going to cause a miracle turnaround in our economy?
They are hiding and delaying the final nail in the coffin of this country until after 2012, and that's Obamacare.
And that is the final nail in the coffin in the country as we've known it.
Once that implements in full, then all kinds of your freedoms are our freedoms are then at great peril, economic and others.
So, does it matter?
I'm telling you right now, just like it didn't matter that there wasn't any Republican to vote for in the November elections, whoever voted in November, Tea Party, they were voting anti-status quo.
They were voting anti-destruction of America.
They were voting anti-debt, anti-spending.
They were voting against everything that is Obama and the American left.
And they voted in landslide droves.
And nothing has changed.
So the presidential race comes up.
Everybody thinks, well, we're going to need somebody for our people to vote for.
Traditionally, yeah.
And you'd love to have that because that's what gives you a mandate after they win.
Somebody with an agenda says, here who I am.
This is what I believe.
This is what we're going to do after I get elected.
Yeah, you'd love to have that.
I'm telling you, Elmer Fudd could win this next election.
That'll be the media tweet quote of the day.
And the press will go talk to whoever created Elmer Fudd, Warner Brothers, try to find out what Elmer Fudd thinks of that.
But it's a bit of an exaggeration.
I'm not telling the nominee as inconsequential.
What I am trying to do is keep you aware of just how strong the anti-American left, anti-Obama sentiment is among the people who work in this country and who make it work.
And there's nothing that's changed to lessen that intensity since November.
Hell, the Tea Party's digging in even deeper.
I got stories in the stack.
Tea Party people running for school boards, Tea Party getting involved in local, state, and city politics all over the country.
Tea Party's growing.
They don't have a single leader.
There's not somebody out there that's the face of the Tea Party.
And yet they're growing because it's a series of core belief ideas found in the Constitution.
Anyway, another brief time out here at my friends.
We'll be back, and I promise we'll get some of your calls in, and we've got a pretty good soundbite roster, as we have each and every day.
I mean, I'll just tell you, I've got three stacks here, and of today's program, we're an hour and 45 minutes into it.
I've probably used five pages, which less than 1% prepped.
We need to have a little discussion on the role of consultants in business.
Political consultants as well.
But I need to, before telling you that, I need to tell you how consultants work in broadcasting.
Now, Snerdley's eyes just lit up.
As all of us in broadcasting, when you say consultants, it means two things, maybe three.
We all know it.
So, Snerdley, I want you to take what you know about consultants in broadcasting, radio and TV, and then imagine what do they mean in politics?
Same thing.
And it equals a problem.
Consultants exist to make sure you are not who you are.
Consultants exist to turn you into what they say you should be based on research and polling and all sorts of things.
And that is how they get paid and credit.
They turn the candidate into a winner.
The candidate is not capable of doing anything until the consultant comes along with his research and tells him, here's who you are, what you got to go, where you got to go, what you got to say, how you got to say it, who you hang out with, where do you go on vacation.
We've polled it.
And virtually in politics, I'd venture to say that nine out of ten of them on our side are constantly urging moderate, no labels, tone it down, no personal criticism of your opponent, that kind of stuff.
Mark Nuller of CBS News says just now, I'm told, that Obama has just added the ending of the alleged $4 billion subsidies to the oil and gas industry.
It's kind of convoluted.
What Nuller says is that Obama has just announced the end of the alleged $4 billion subsidies to big oil and big gas.
Now, remember, Shell Oil invested $4 billion seeking permission to drill off the coast of Alaska where they were denied by the EPA.
That's $4 billion gone.
So Obama says, okay, subsidies, $4 billion, big oil, gone.
Republicans, by the way, happen to agree because they don't think there's anything in it for them to defend big oil.
So let's look at a little economics.
Big oil has been doing business.
The rules have been that there are subsidies.
The subsidies have added up to a cumulative $4 billion a year.
All of a sudden, that's gone.
They're just like anybody else going to make it back.
Would somebody tell me how that's going to lower petroleum prices?
It won't.
Petroleum prices are now going to go up for everybody, including the end of the line consumer.
Thank you, President Obama.
Bob in Queens in New York.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yeah, good afternoon, Rush.
First, I'd like to say, in service of the country, people serving the country, you do that every day, especially when the country is in trouble.
So thank you.
Well, you're welcome, sir.
But I appreciate it.
I really do.
I wanted to talk about Katrina.
I remember watching it that night, Shepard Smith in the street.
We missed the bullet.
Nothing wrong with New Orleans, everybody.
But they were worried about the oil rigs.
How many were destroyed or damaged?
And what that would do to oil prices, being that 25% of our oil comes out of the Gulf, all right, and how it was going to hurt people and the economy.
How bad it would be.
Here's a guy who shut down the whole Gulf over one oil row burning.
You know?
And Alaska and other things.
And that isn't hurting the economy.
Based on their own words, this is deliberate sabotage.
That's the only way to look at it.
An excellent point.
I remember, you are exactly right.
Even before Hurricane Katrina hit, we got graphics of where all the oil, oh, the rigs were, the platforms.
Oh, my gosh, what if they go down?
What's that going to do to the price of oil?
Oh, no, oh, no.
What's it going to do to the supply of oil?
Oh, no.
There was some, oh, my God, what about the pollution?
Are we worried about oils?
