Time Text
Hi, how are you?
Greetings.
Great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh.
Executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
Documented to be almost always right, 99.6% of the time.
I love hearing myself say what I say.
Because I love being right.
And I wish many of you could experience it as often as I do.
What's that, Snerdy?
They're angry at you out there.
Oh, they're angry at me.
What whose name is women are angry at me?
Let me tell you something.
Christiana Munpour.
Tory Clark and Claire Shipman started this.
You know, you can't.
I am not going to sit here and let all I'm just not going to sit idly by and do what the modern man's supposed to do.
Whatever some feminist women say.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
That's it.
That's whatever you say.
No way.
You you can't sit there and tell us for all of these years to ignore the moral issues, to stay away from faith.
And uh and now tell us all of a sudden the morality does matter when we got Wiener and who knows Clinton, or whoever whatever the guys engaging in these transgressions are.
All of a sudden now morality matters when it never did to liberals before, but now it does because women are more moral than men, and thus more qualified for positions of power.
I mean, this is not something I just let go in one ear and out the other.
Wiener was your guy.
He is a huge big government liberal who himself laughed at and poo-pooed all of these social and moral issues.
He looked at them as wedge issues.
They weren't supposed to bring that stuff up.
And now all of a sudden he has become an example of all men and their immorality, and all of a sudden now Wiener's got to go.
I don't care whether he goes.
Frankly, I want him to stay.
I frankly wish my conservative brothers would stop going on television and joining this endless chorus, which is easy for Wiener to go.
We want him to stay.
We we want we need the liberals to have a poster boy of who they are.
We need a poster boy of their hypocrisy.
We need an example of what happens to men when they are surrounded by all of their lives, liberal women.
We need a daily reminder of just who these people are.
I think Wiener ought to stay.
Wiener is the is the embodiment of the Democrat Party.
Wiener, look, don't let them lick you, pals.
You you sit there, you hang tough.
You know, gut it up here.
I'm sick and tired of this.
Everybody goes.
Bow down and curry and act this and that and the other thing.
He doesn't want to quit.
He's made it clear he doesn't want to quit.
What are they mad at, Sterley?
What in the world do they possibly have to be?
They're mad at it.
They can't believe somebody to have the audacity to say this kind of truth, right?
You do what?
Conservative conservative guys are kitty whipped too?
Is that the well, yeah, I mean that's I think that kind of runs the ideological uh uh gamut uh being uh being being kidding whipped here.
But there's a difference in what you're kitty whipped about.
You know, I'm not kidding whipped about abortion, I'm not kidding whipped into changing my mind on things that really are core principle beliefs.
Those guys can't say that.
They get kitty whipped into into standing for nothing.
Remember, I was minding my own business.
And Tori Clark and what's her name, Claire Shipman go on ABC yesterday and start Talking about how what a great opportunity this is for women.
I'm just gonna sit here and let all the contradictions go by.
Now, let me um let me find the ad.
Was it 11 and 12?
Audio submites 11 and 12.
There's a great Romney ad that started running over the weekend.
We have the audio.
It's uh it's about 22 seconds, a 30-second ad, but we got 22 seconds audio of it.
There are always going to be bumps on the road to recover.
I'm an American, not a bump in the road.
you Thank you.
Oh, is that it?
Okay, well, I guess we need really the the uh the what you're seeing here graphics, uh graphics-wise, uh, is millions of uh lost their jobs under Obama, long-term unemployment is now worse than the Great Depression.
Uh June 3rd, 2012 unemployment rate hit 9%.
These graphics are there throughout this commercial, and it plays off the fact that Obama said the economy just hit a bump in the road.
So Romney's gone out and got a bunch of people.
I'm not a bump in the road.
With all these horrible economic stats on the screen at the same time.
I'm an American, not a bump of the road.
And now here's Romney going right after Obama.
He's beatable.
It's another thing that struck me over the weekend as I was pouring through items getting ready for today's program.
The idea that it's right now even questionable that Obama could get re-elected.
Do you realize how defeated he is if the elections today?
I mean, it's it's a landslide.
Now the media, well, of course, it's not going to say this.
I'm here to tell you that it wouldn't be close if the election were today.
I don't care who the nominee is.
It wouldn't be close.
We're living through a man-made economic disaster.
Not a cyclical disaster.
This really is a president steering a hurricane.
They tried to tell us that George W. Bush was steering Katrina to hit New Orleans because he didn't like Democrats.
This is an economic hurricane that is being steered by this administration.
And the damage that's being done here is real and it is purposeful.
Obama is more beatable than Wiener is.
And Wiener is beatable.
Again, watching this movie...
Oh, by the way, this movie, the company men, I left out something that's very important about this movie.
You know what the solution to everybody's problems is?
The end of the movie, entrepreneurism.
Everybody gets blown out by this mythical corporation.
And they go through the process of trying to find a job.
They go to a placement agency where they're given desk space, they fill out applications, they go on interviews, they find nothing.
They end up dehumanized in the process.
And it happened to all of us every time we look for a job.
We're lied to by people interview us, we're lied to us about how close we are to getting a job, all these things.
One guy sell his house, sell his beamer, move back in with his parents.
He doesn't want to do any of it.
It's his wife who realizes the depth of their situation.
He ends up going to work construction with his wife's brother.
That's all they can find.
He got three months severance.
Now, one of the people in the movie that ends up getting the act, getting the axe is uh top-ranked management character played by Tommy Lee Jones.
And he got a great severance package because he had a lot of stock.
So his going away number was pretty good.
But he sea lounges around in lollygegs or loses his wife because he's having an affair with a human resources babe in the company who's uh firing everybody.
I mean, as I tell you, there's things in this movie that are distinctly Democrat, even though it's takes its obligatory shot, obligatory shot at Republicans and big businessmen.
But other than that, it's a really good movie.
But the end is Tommy Lee Jones character decides to take his big number, his retirement package, and start his own business and hires everybody back.
Not at what they were making.
And the guy that puts this movie together, wrote the movies again, wrote the West Wing.
The left wing Democrat, anti-corporate, what have you.
But the solution to all these people's problems is one guy decides to plow his, and at his age, he could easily go live on the beach.
He could say, they don't heck with it.
But he decides he's not through working, so he starts a maritime business and hires as many of these people that he knew from the corporation back.
And the movie ends with them going through the usual rah-rah teamwork.
Everybody happy to be back, everybody refocused, making this company sing and hum.
It's entrepreneurism that ends up being that they don't get cured by a government handout.
They don't get cured by food stamps.
They are not, they don't go to the green energy sector.
They don't get a grant from Obama.
They have to rely on this one guy who decides to be an entrepreneur.
It's a good movie.
As I say, there are just the usual obligatory swats at ugly CEO and uh heartless, cold hearted.
Get past that because that's a minor aspect here of the movie.
So anyway, here's here's Mitt's ad.
And then Mitt going after a body is beatable.
And the reason he's beatable is because everybody's living this.
It is not insignificant what is happening to the people of this country.
They're losing everything.
Those who are losing it are losing everything.
And the numbers of people who are in the process of losing everything or fearful of losing everything is growing.
There is no sign of recovery.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel where everybody's got some hope that they could see or maybe invest in.
We haven't gotten there yet.
It's the exact opposite.
Then we find out.
Business Insider has a blog post today that where all the QE2 money went.
Quantitative easing too, foreign banks.
We bailed out a bunch of foreign banks.
Bernanke and the Federal Reserve bailed out a foreign bunch of foreign banks.
The reason there isn't any money, theoretically, for people to borrow, is that the banks in this country really didn't get much of QE2.
The money that we've spent or printed is bailing out foreign entities, just like Obama promised last week we might bail out Greece.
So the bankers are taking care of each other.
TARP, Paulson took care of domestic American bankers, except for Bear Stearns, for some reason, somebody ticked him off on a golf course, probably.
And now we're taking care of some European banks with QE2.
And some of that money got plowed back into the into Wall Street, which is why shares went up.
So once again, we're finding out closed markets, a rigged game, nothing is real.
In the meantime, people are genuinely suffering.
Good, honest, decent, hardworking people.
Homes are underwater.
The prospect of asset recovery within their lifetimes looks bleak is not pretty out there.
It is, in fact, worse than what the media was trying to make you think it was during the Bush years.
If you recall all of that horrible economic news during the Bush years when it wasn't bad, unemployment was at 5% or six at worst.
There really wasn't any negative economic news to speak of during the Bush years.
There wasn't any recession to speak of, per se, until we hit 2008.
But from 2005 on, every day, the economy was about the forthcoming recession or the recession that we had not come out of since 2002.
It was.
You know what I re-watched over the weekend too?
Wag the dog.
I had forgotten in 1998.
I uh went on and bought it, and I I it's it's hilarious.
It it it took place during the Clinton years, 1998.
It was all about a TV uh media guy and a Hollywood producer manufacturing a war for television only that didn't exist to dis it wasn't taking place to distracting the American people's attention away from a sex scandal in the White House.
And uh De Niro is the ad guy who comes up with the concept.
And he and his White House liaison are leaving a Hollywood producer's house heading somewhere for dinner and they're stopped by an SUV caravan.
It turns out to be a bunch of CIA agents.
The CIA lead agent, William H. Macy, Fargo says there's no war.
There's no problem on the Canadian border, no war in Albania.
There aren't any spies and De Niro says, Who says there's not?
I just was watching it on TV.
The CI guy said, God, you're right.
There is as far as people are concerned.
There is this television says there's a war.
They had manufactured graphics video to convince people it was a war in Albania to distract from the president's sex scandal.
And the CIA tried to shut it down, and you know how they did it?
They went to the it's it's eight days away from presidential election.
They went to the opponent in the presidential race, and they gave him information.
Guess what?
The uh uh hostilities have ended in Albania, and the vice president calls or the the presidential candidate sitting senator calls a press conference to announce that he's learned that the war in Albania is over.
And De Niro's watching is damn it, he just ended the war, of course, and there isn't one.
Well, my point is they told you we were in a recession and getting worse for the last four years of the Bush regime.
It wasn't true, but you believed it.
We are folks in dire straits.
There are people's lives, and their children's futures are being destroyed.
And you're not hearing about that.
Oh, you hear about it in a trickle-down story here and there, but you're not hearing about it were the president a Republican and were the media trying to get rid of him.
But it's a crying shame what is being done to this country.
So you've got you got Romney's ad and and uh the this this wonderkin uh blogger at the Washington Post, Ezra Klein.
We got time to play the bite real quick.
He thinks it's pretty bad for Obama.
Here's what he said.
Mitt Romney released what I thought to be an essentially devastating ad uh over the weekend.
And it didn't have anything to do with Mitt Romney.
It was just people standing up and saying I'm not a bump in the road on the recovery, I'm jobless.
And so until they get those numbers up, this will not be won by campaign ads.
It will not be won by message.
It will only be one or lost on jobs.
Back after this, don't go away.
Every gasoline price sign is an anti-Obama ad.
Every job's report number is an anti-Obama ad.
Every foreclosed home is an anti-Obama ad.
Every time the price of hamburger goes up, it's an anti-Obama ad.
The Republicans really don't even have to produce any anti-Obama ads.
All they gotta do is point to the news and then tell people things don't have to be this way.
And they don't.
Here's Krista in Portland, Oregon, as we start on the phones today.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi, thank you.
You bet.
Yeah, I just uh I wanted to talk to you about what you were talking about earlier with Christiana Amenpore saying that it was a good day for women in politics.
Yeah.
I am a mother of my husband and I have six sons, and we try to teach them moral values and right from wrong and the importance of it.
And yet when they go to school, they're constantly being bombarded by the opposite message and everything is kind of set up against them.
Um I was dropping the boys off to school last week and I saw these teenage girls walking into the high school with these really short, short Daisy Duke shorts with their rear ends hanging out and my son said, gosh, that totally is distracting and it you know and I thought, yeah, you know, that's really not right for them to be able to dress that way.
It it's hard for our boys in the school system to be able to focus on what they need to when they disregard the um the dress code.
And I said, well doesn't the dress code say that they can't wear that and they say yeah you know it does.
Your son said it was uh forces it.
Your son said it was distracting?
Oh yeah.
And then just last about two weeks ago he came home with this book that he was assigned to read and he handed it to me and said Mom, this book is really a bad book.
And I said let me take a look at it.
I read the second chapter and it was all about this teenage boys um association with pornography, how much he enjoyed it and how good he was at masturbating and that and I you know it really upset me.
We contacted the school my husband wrote a letter to the school board um you know questioning is this the best book for the English curriculum I think there are other things out there and we got a letter back from the principal after he talked to the English department that they thought that this was the accurate portrayal of a male teenage voice.
I was just going to tell you, to a lot of people, you are a breeder of criminals.
You've got six sons.
That's a lot of people looking at you that way.
What our caller was going to go on and say, and we were cut off by the constraints of time, her point was going to be that was at all of these schools where, in the case she talked about the pornography book being sort of excused, women are running the schools.
Women are running these places where those horribly distracting short shorts are being worn by female students.
And it's female administrators who don't have a problem with it in the school.
That was going to be one of the points.
Now, also, I did not do a spoiler on Wag the Dog.
I did not give away the ending of the movie.
I'm getting caustic emails from people.
Hey, thanks.
Way to go.
I had really...
it are people who haven't seen it I recommended on Friday Sterling a lot of people haven't seen the movie I recommended they go watch it.
They haven't watched it yet I have not given away the ending of the movie what I told you took place in the first thirty minutes.
I haven't given away the ending of the thing I would never do that not on purpose anyway.
MJ in Louisville great to have you on the program hello.
Hey I've been listening to you since 1990s love you but I disagree with you today about w liberal women and what they've done to men.
Okay.
I kind of expected some of this well it's not really about the women being um liberal it's really about women in general are as greedy they're becoming as greedy as men.
Mistresses back in the day when you had like FDR had an a mistress for thirty years it was quiet.
John F. Kennedy, quiet.
Ted Kennedy did we ever hear about the Copekney family, whatever happened what they thought of the whole situation, it was very quiet.
But women today no women today the mistresses they will burn you at both ends.
They will burn men at both ends.
They will have the affair then they'll do a bribe and then when the bribe runs out they will write about it in a book.
They will put it on Twitter.
They will they will send you down the river and hey you don't even have to be that attractive so men if you're thinking about having an affair and being a wiener don't do it.
It's it's biblical you don't have the affair and I don't think it's about liberal women.
I think it's about women just being greedy and that's the bottom line and I want a leader rush.
I want a leader like Ronald Reagan that's gonna have an affair with the United States have an affair with the United States.
I am so tired of Obama having an affair with himself.
Well now that actually is a brilliant point because you could say I want to go back to the liberal women I want to clarify that for you in in terms of what I specifically specifically talking there about Wiener and so forth.
But I know you're right, Ronald Reagan never had an affair, Thatcher never had an affair.
It is possible to have people with great character.
Yes.
Did you hear, did you hear what what Clinton said while officiating at Wiener and Huma's wedding.
Did you hear what he said?
No, I didn't.
Let me tell you what he said.
Uh he's he he said that uh you can you take your chances.
Now he was joking when he said it he still said it.
Yeah.
You take your chances when you marry a politician because it's easy to distrust them, whatever their religion.
So here you have Wiener and Huma standing up there taking their vows, Clinton's officiating, and he offers that to them.
Now what I mean w that that that's here you you talk two people getting married, and you gotta the the the the guy officiating making a joke about infidelity.
Well, and and I think what it gets down to is power.
You have people that love power and they're gonna use it.
But the problem is these mistresses today love the power too, and they figured it out.
And I think men have it's a wake-up call, you know.
Don't twitter your Peter, you know.
I'm sorry, you don't do it.
You you gotta have this wake-up call.
The women will sell you out.
They like the power too.
And if these liberal women don't think that women in general don't like power, yes, they do.
They're just as human as men.
So get over yourself.
I want a leader that has an affair with the United States.
I'm unemployment down to the city.
Well, okay, I totally agree.
You know, people like you and I are laughed at when we say we want character to matter.
But you seem to be saying we need a better breed of mistresses, and I don't think that's what you mean.
That's not what I mean.
Uh, but I you know, back in the day that's what they were quiet, but they're not doing that now, and men should wake up.
Okay, but now Wiener, let's take a look at Well, why did he send the pictures that he sent?
That was my point.
And my my point is, and I I drew the analogy, and I'm and a lot of people are gonna think this is flawed, and I will admit it doesn't it doesn't follow a hundred percent.
But if you take a look at any henpecked guy over a anything, you take a look at whatever it is the guy's henpecked about, the first moment he has to engage in free behavior, what does he do?
Well, in the case of Obama, we can we we see what he has to eat at home by what she eats scouts and and and and scarfs down and how eager he is to eat away from home.
So we can we know.
Well, no, we we we do, and but but what's forcing him to eat the stuff he doesn't want to eat, who's that?
It's gotta be his wife, right?
Well, and I agree.
I think men should confront that and say, I I don't want to do that, and be men and and stand up.
And I I agree this whole country is is lack of leadership in the homes.
That there's there should be a man.
I have been married for thirty years.
A man should run run the household.
And I agree.
I really agree.
But I really think that men that are considering an affair gotta look at the fact that this woman might be out for power too, and stop it.
And have an affair with my country.
I mean whether we're getting into deep psychological stuff, because there's nobody I think has an affair who really doesn't expect some to get caught.
They just figure they'll be able to deal with it.
And those who think they won't get caught are are they're not dealing in uh every everybody has the little voice in their head telling them they shouldn't do it.
Everybody does.
Yeah, well, that's where everybody's saying is that not enough people listen to the voice.
That's right.
Turn around and run.
It's biblical.
Read Proverbs, read Proverbs, it's biblical.
Turn around and run.
But tw he did it because he thought he was doing it anonymously.
He thought he could get away with it.
It's a new way of doing things, Twitter, Facebook, whatever.
But the problem is he got caught, and I don't think he's happy right now.
I mean, uh if he cut could keep doing it anonymously, he keeps doing it.
But is he acting out against his wife because she's too demanding?
I don't know.
But I do I really think that men need to wake up and say, I can't I can't do this.
Yeah, and I want a leader that's gonna be like Ronald Reagan.
I want Ronald Reagan.
Where is he?
Well, I know.
I know exactly what you're saying.
My only point was that feminist women are different than non feminist women.
They're different in their efforts and attempts to control.
And the things over which they seek to control, things that matter.
And feminism has masculinity is an enemy.
Masculinity is an enemy to feminists.
And they have turned being a man into being a predator.
Talk to any guy who wants visitation with his kids, whose ex-wife has a feminist lawyer.
The idea that his daughters are in danger simply by because he might be present.
I mean this has been a tactic that has been uh that has been tried it's been used.
So I I just think there's a you know Time magazine finally figures out men and women are different and I know the conservative and liberal women are different from each other.
And the things that they seek and believe like you what you just said what you just said here would never come out of the mouth of a liberal woman.
Not one thing that you said in terms of a belief system or a desire including the that we have another Reagan.
Who's next?
Tammy, Washington DC.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Yeah hi Russ, thanks very much.
Love you to death.
You're awesome.
Thank you very much.
Your last caller, I guess maybe set us up a little bit for what we're going to talk about.
I I I think obviously it's important integrity men, women, you can't lump everybody together because it comes down to some have character, some don't and some are real characters in the way that they operate.
But earlier in the week, of course, it came up about how the scandal and how it set something like that up for the person to be blackmailed, et cetera, et cetera.
And always has been historically.
But one of the points, it was never really ever, I don't think I've heard it anywhere yet, but it's not just sort of another country or another political party blackmailing this person.
Very often, and unfortunately, it's the wife.
uh...
if you don't have a wife of pit standing and self-respect and you know last uh you know time where this happened of notoriety um famously uh we got uh the twofer that was promised in the campaign for Clinton we got Mrs Clinton as a result of her blackmailing her husband uh if she didn't get what he wanted if she didn't spill all the beans and you know there's more of that to come that never came out but she got way ahead and look where she's at right now.
Well we've documented that on this program that Mrs. Clinton had a lot coming to her because she basically gave up her whole life she moved to Arkansas bad enough.
That's right.
And then she had to follow the guy around and be subordinate while he's out there you know m just just not respecting her.
That's with T V infobabes and bar flies.
Yeah.
Yeah absolutely and any self-respecting woman in that instance you know would have gone up the next day and just said I'm out of here and you know it was hard to explain to anybody during that time you know why you couldn't respect someone like Hillary.
Oh wait a second wait a see this is this is exactly my point all of liberal women did respect Hillary they also felt terribly sorry for Hillary.
She was a huge object figure for sympathy but they did respect her they respected her for taking that route to power back then that's what she had to do.
She had to hitch herself to a guy who was going places and then when he got there take over and in the meantime she had to you know put up with all of the BS that happened along the way.
But she was profoundly respected.
You know, feminists, militant feminists, and the way they treat and look at each other, it's a giant sympathy play.
They all are victims of something.
They're victims of nature.
They're victims of men.
They're victims of circumstances in the corporate, what have you.
They have all been mistreated.
They've all been given a shaft.
Something's happened, and they think it's rooted in socioeconomics or ideology or some such thing that a political movement needs to address and correct and repair and start writing all these systemic rules.
wrongs that end up imprisoning all these brilliant women into positions of servitude and inferiority, what have you.
Now they were filled with rage and anger.
Remember, we had numbers of people call this program during the congregation process of uh Soto Mayor.
When she was at Princeton, Sonia Sotomayor.
And a number of women call here who had gone to school with her, and familiar with her uh postgraduate work.
And she and other women like her parlayed outrage and anger to get where they wanted.
The threat.
The anger that they used and the threat that was incumbent of that anger of action they might take, either in the form of lawsuits, which would cost people a lot of money or what have you, that they parlayed it all.
The bottom line was they were angry.
They were in range, they were not happy.
In fact, the feminists would gather on the streets of the Capitol.
We're feminists and we're fierce and we're in your face.
I mean, they were they were filled with outrage, whether mock or real.
It is how they it is how they got places, but they had to become aggrieved and make themselves victims and in in turn turn every one of their charges into victims.
Everybody had to be unhappy.
The reason for feminism was female unhappiness.
Based on discrimination here, discrimination there, wherever.
And it it ended up having an impact on everybody because it it it it changed what are already the natural roles men and women have in play with one another.
Everybody said, okay, I guess what we are is bad, and we're supposed to change and supposed to become something else based on what these feminists are telling us.
But nobody knew who they were supposed to be.
All they were told was that who they really were was not good.
They were racist, sexist bigots, they were predators, uh, rapists, or what have you.
So the cowed among the men started on a path to try to prove that all these premises were incorrect.
And they ended up emasculating themselves.
It's been a giant mess.
I'll tell you this this militant feminism has been a uh huge huge mess.
It's caused, I can't tell you how much problems in our culture and uh in our society, not the least of which is Roe vs.
Wade.
Quick timeout, we will be back.
Here's Karen in uh Graniteville, South Carolina.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Um I want to submit to you that without the demonization and chickenization of men that the liberal agenda cannot go forward because they need to do that in order to break up the family unit and get the father out of the home so that they could get their um votering roles further along.
Well, now that's pretty harsh to say they want the uh father out of the home.
Well, to me, having grown up and gone through it, and my family was a happy family until someone told my mother about the welfare system, and after she found out about that, she was gone in the click of a minute.
because she found out she could get something for nothing and do what she wanted to do with the rest of her time.
Your own mother did that?
Yes, sir.
Well, I've got a story of the UK Daily Mail today.
Listen to this.
David David Cameron warns feckless parents who expect to raise children on benefits.
David Cameron yesterday took a swipe at parents who expect to raise their children fully on state handouts, saying it isn't going to happen.
They've got a big problem, and people expect to raise their families on benefits there.
And yes, sir, and they also teach the next generation that they can do that the same way.
And the more that you more children that you have, the more that you get, and it still keeps the people on the wealth roles and also voting for the liberal agenda.
I have to tell you something.
Karen has a point because this is exactly what's happened in the black community.
The federal government has become the husband.
Federal government has become the father.
It's exactly what's happened.
And that's why the black family is disintegrated the way it has.
