Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Greetings, my friends, I'm Rush Limbaugh, the first word in conservativism, the last word in conservatism as well.
And we are here on the left coast.
We're in Hollywood.
We're in Los Angeles.
Broadcast excellence for the fourth straight day out here.
And one more to go after today.
We're having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Showed up yesterday, playing a golf course called Satakoy, up in Reagan Country.
You know where it is?
It's up there in uh in Camarillo.
Or do they say Camarillo here?
Camarillo.
So we drove up there.
You need meal money to get up there.
From here.
And uh we show up on the 18th hole.
It's a long par five.
I L Rushboat.
I mean I'm I'm hitting the ball off the T as well as I have, and I don't know how long.
Bamboo, it's about a 535-yard par five.
The second shot, three wood, bamboo, straight down the middle.
And I have uh I have a 80 yards in.
And I sort of yank him over the top on the gap wedge ends up in the trap.
Greenside bunker.
Now we're one down here, friend.
This is this is um tie it up and not not losing any money.
And of course, nobody thinks when I'm in a bunker, I've got a reputation being bad bunker player, okay, it's over.
So I go in there and I take my first swipe in the bunker, and the ball doesn't move.
I whiffed, I got right under the ball, but I kept the pose.
I kept the pose as though I had hit the best shot ever.
I was just trying to cover my embarrassment in case anybody from high up the hill or clubhouse is looking.
So then I look down the ball still there, I bop up, take another shot at it, two hops in the hole.
Hold out from the greenside bunker, four or five, wiping out the opposition.
It'd been a long day.
It's a hilly golf course up and down.
They just uh just it just took all the juice out of them.
That was it.
As another successful fun day brought to an exciting conclusion, and here we are, ready to kick it off again.
Happy to have you along, folks.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Now, as I told you yesterday during yesterday's excursion into broadcast excellence, I was not gonna have a chance to watch the Bamster's speech on Afghanistan.
I actually didn't need to watch it, I knew what he was gonna do, but it's my job to watch it in large part so that you don't have to.
I would come in here and tell you what you missed.
And as an added bonus, sometimes to tell you what to think about what you missed.
But even at that, folks, I didn't.
We um after the Sterling Day on the golf course went to um went to dinner place in Malibu.
I forget the name of the place, but high up on the hill, overlooking the ocean looking south.
Beautiful place up there.
And got home, and I was just exhausted.
I just zap so um I didn't even fire up the computer.
Toyed around on the iPad for a while, and I came in, I talked to a couple people, and found out what happened, and we basically have put together a summary for you.
If you didn't watch it either, hell, I don't blame you.
If you don't want to watch it, we've got it summarized here in about what?
A minute and a half.
I think that's about all it takes to summarize what happened last night.
And now the honest condensed version of the president's Afghan troop withdrawal speech.
Good evening.
To begin with, I got Osama bin Laden.
So really anything I do in Afghanistan is okay.
So I'm removing 30,000 troops, just like I promised the Taliban two years ago.
Our mission in Afghanistan will change from combat to retreat.
Because I killed Osama bin Laden.
What does this tell our enemies?
You will be held accountable unless I'm running for office and I think I'm losing.
Of course, huge challenges remain, like creating an imperfect Afghanistan for future generations.
But tonight, we take comfort in the fact that we have killed bin Laden.
Now, some would have us retreat from the world.
Others would have us overextended, confronting every evil in the world.
I want a little bit of both.
Like in Libya, where we just drop bombs from 30,000 feet, hope we kill Qaddafi, and pretend democracy will just spring up out of nowhere.
Oh.
And did I tell you that I met the guys who took out bin Laden?
We are bound together by the creed written down in our founding documents.
The Magna Carta, the prenuptial, and the New Deal.
America, it's time to focus on nation building here at home.
Now let us respectfully end these wars.
God help our troops, because I won't.
Thank you.
Pretty much sums it up, right?
Obama, did you watch it, uh Don?
Well, see, you didn't have to.
Now you know you, I'm sure you have a wonderful idea exactly what happened last night, Obama and his address to the nation.
Stumbling through the show prep today, and I do mean stumbling.
It's uh, you know, I if I try to try to stay on an East Coast schedule when I'm out here.
And if I if I did, that would mean going to bed at 11.
I go to bed about 2 a.m.
So that would mean going to bed at 11 here, and getting up as in this four, and getting in here at about beginning at five.
Yeah.
It hasn't been working out.
I've been going to bed at two o'clock here, and getting up at five o'clock here.
After all of these action-filled days, doing the program and then uh you know, hustling out of here and heading to the golf course of the day.
Uh and then going out and having a tasty morsel at dinner, and then you know, back home do some show prep before getting to bed.
So just a little bit on the frazzled side, but uh, you wouldn't know it if I if I didn't mention it to you.
So I'm I'm I'm waiting through show prep.
And there's this guy at the Washington Post, a blogger.
His name is Greg Sargent, and I I don't know where he came from.
He came from some previously failed drive-by institution.
He might have come from someplace called editor and publisher.
I'm I'm not sure.
Is that it?
And then the editor and publisher was almost like a trade publication for the media.
And it's a far left.
Just insane.
And this guy's got his own blog now.
And he sends me snarky emails now and then.
I got a his latest piece.
I said, surely I I I've I've I can't be seeing what I'm seeing here.
Democrats, this is a headline.
Democrats will not shy away from accusing the Republicans of deliberately sabotaging the economy.
What?
Republicans are sabotaging the economy?
With what power?
With what power do the Republicans have to sabotage the economy?
I mean, this is turning everything upside down.
This is turning everything 180 degrees out of phase.
Today, Senate Democrats went there.
They accused Republicans of deliberately sabotaging the economy in order to further their own political interests.
Okay, this answers the question.
This answers the question.
It is purposeful, folks.
The Democrats engage in this kind of stuff all the time.
Projection.
They constantly accuse us of what they are really doing.
So now that they've come out and accused us of sabotaging the economy, that means that that's exactly what they are doing.
So the question is no longer open.
It's not a matter of, yeah, are these people really this idiotic and naive and ignorant?
Or is this done purposefully?
We now have the answer.
They've accused us of sabotage.
We don't run anything.
Well, yeah, we run the House.
We can block stuff, but there's no we can't get our agenda passed.
Obama still runs the White House.
The Democrats still have the Senate.
The Democrats had the whole show for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.
And that's when all of this damage happened.
The Republicans didn't have one, well, they had the White House with Bush, but he was neutered for the most part.
This is this is quite telling.
The Democrats, senior Democrat, Senate aid tells me.
The estimable Greg Sargent, the Democrats will not shy away from making a case in the weeks to come, if the Republicans keep blocking their efforts to spur job creation.
So the Republicans are purposely destroying the economy, and the Republicans are purposely blocking the effort to create jobs.
My friends, as I've said, we now know and we have the answer.
The Democrat Party is purposely sabotaging the private sector of this economy, job creation, and they are purposely sabotaging the creation of private sector jobs.
The answer is in.
Both of them.
Thank you, Mr. Sgt. Thank you, Democrats.
Senators Chuck Hugh Schumer and Dick Turban Durbin made that charge in remarks to reporters yesterday.
Turbin said, unfortunately, our Republican colleagues in the House and Senate are driven by putting one man out of work, President Obama.
It's exactly right.
That will equal economic recovery for everybody else.
Senator Chuck Hugh Schumer said, uh, do Republicans really oppose a tax cut for businesses that created jobs?
You are hearing me right.
Chuck U out there now trying to tell people Republicans oppose business tax cuts.
Yeah, I know it's brazen and it's audacious, but this is um this is who they are.
Republicans really oppose a tax cut for business.
I think isn't it that the Republicans have actually proposed tax cuts for businesses?
Isn't that in their budget?
A budget by the way the Democrats nor Obama have even presented in two budget cycles now.
Chuck Yu Schumer, if they oppose even something so suited to their tastes ideologically.
It shows that they're just opposing anything that helps create jobs.
Almost makes you wonder if they aren't trying to slow down the economic recovery for political gain.
So you see the twist on this?
This all of this now, now we know the campaign.
It's worse than we thought.
Our plans are starting to work.
Obama's plan is starting to work, but they're worse than problems are worse than we thought.
It's going to take longer.
We don't want to change horses in the middle stream, besides the Republicans are doing all this.
I don't know.
The Democrats, I guess they are.
I guess the Democrats have proposed a tax cut for new job hires.
I've all these wonderful ideas.
I I didn't know they were Democrat ideas, and that the Republicans are blocking them.
But I but I know that now, thanks to the ideologically driven Greg Sargent of the Washington Post.
This is this is hilarious.
And I see it is audacious.
And it stands a chance of working with some people because they've, as is evidence here, I'm holding this thing in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
You got Greg Sargent, stenographer in chief, just simply reporting this garbage as though it's absolutely true.
So you take every problem that is directly traceable to Obama, and you blame it on Eric Cantor.
And you blame it on Paul Ryan.
And you blame it on everybody but John Huntsman.
They will not blame it on Huntsman.
Blame it on Chris Christie.
Blame it on Palin.
The stimulus was our fault.
The stimulus was our fault.
Exactly.
It's all gonna end up being uh being our fault.
All right, uh my friends of brief, as they always are, time out here at the Excellence at Broadcasting Network, but we are coming right back with much more, as you know, right after this.
Rushly ball, the single reason.
God invented radio.
By the way, I got it wrong.
Greg Sargent was uh not at uh at editor and publisher.
That was some guy named Greg Mitchell.
Uh, this guy was uh where was he?
Was it uh some of the talking points memo, a couple couple of other uh other places out there, but he was not not the same guy, Greg Mitchell because it doesn't matter.
Cookie cutter libs.
I mean, just as extreme as you can imagine, and Democrats will not shy away from accusing Republicans of deliberately sabotaging the economy.
I you know, there are things that you come across in show prep that are profound, and there are things that are profound.
And as you know, I myself uh am known for profundities.
This for all of us who have been really struggling.
Is this really being done on purpose?
Is this or is this just the accidents of a bunch of really truly arrogant misguided people?
We have the answers.
It's on purpose.
All of this economic destruction is on purpose.
And now blame the Republicans.
And that's it.
I guarantee it's a trial balloon.
They're gonna see how this floats.
They're gonna see how it goes in the blogs.
They're going to see how it uh floats the cable networks.
They're gonna see if they can get a bunch of uh Democrat strategist guests.
I mean, this is a huge leap of faith.
If you are a Democrat strategist, and if you value your guest status as a commentator on a cable news network, you gotta think long and hard about what you're really gonna get behind and what you're really gonna push.
What you are going to lend your name and your so-called credibility and uh image to.
And if you're gonna go on, say, look, you pick your favorite show on cable news, and you represent the Democrats, and you are going to seriously try to make the point that this is all because the Republicans really want to destroy the economy.
That's the trial balloon.
They're gonna see if they can come up with anybody who'll actually say that.
If they can come up with a with a significant number of Democrats who will actually take this.
That's why all bets are off here.
I I I have to think that in green rooms across cable news networks, Democrats strategists are huddling together.
Okay, do we want to glom onto this?
We're going to attach our names to this.
Can we go out and make this case and not get laughed off of this show?
That'll be the question.
Time will tell.
We do have a couple sound bites from Obama, and it it's a his own trial balloons here in trying to make this whole claim that the Republicans are purposely destroying the economy.
The Republicans are responsible for all of this.
Two sound bites, maybe three, from Obama's White House speech last night on Afghanistan.
We take comfort in knowing that the tide of war is receding.
Fewer of our sons and daughters are serving in harm's way.
We've ended our combat mission in Iraq with a hundred thousand American troops already out of that country.
And even as there will be dark days ahead in Afghanistan, the light of a secure peace can be seen in the distance.
Yeah, there it is.
These long wars will come to a responsible end.
Those long wars started long before I got here.
They will come to an end.
And he kept going.
He wasn't finished.
Over the last decade, we have spent a trillion dollars on war at a time of rising debt and hard economic time.
Stop tape, stop tape.
There you have it.
You see where this is going for the last decade, translation, since Bush.
We've spent a trillion dollars.
There's the magic number.
His health care bill costs less than that, see.
I mean, actually doesn't, but that's what they wanted everybody to believe.
Trillion dollars on a war, rising debt, hard economic times over the last ten years.
Let's continue.
Now we must invest in America's greatest resource.
Our people.
Stop the tape.
So now it's time for change.
I'm Barack Obama, and I just got here.
You elected me in November of 2008, but today is my first day on the job.
And after ten years of absolute purposeful destruction of the economy by my predecessor and his party, and after wasting a trillion dollars on this war, I have finally shown up.
And it's time to invest in you.
So I, Barack Obama, am starting that today.
Or in his case, last night.
Let's keep going.
We must unleash innovation that creates New jobs and industries while living within our means.
We must rebuild our infrastructure and find new and clean sources of energy.
America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home.
That's right.
I'm Barack Obama, and I just got here.
And uh yeah, we we it's time to unlease innovation, new jobs, shovel ready infrastructure.
We haven't tried that yet.
I was elected in 2008, but I've been, you know, playing golf.
I just now showed up.
Time to invest in you.
We're gonna have shovel ready jobs, we're gonna unleash innovation that creates jobs.
See, he hasn't been doing any of this the past two years.
No, folks hadn't been doing it.
All that stuff that's been going on the past two years, they've been trying to dig themselves out of the swamp that George W. Bush created.
And finally, two years after we get rid of Bush, finally, as of last night, finally, time to start rebuilding ourselves here at home.
Fascinating to watch all this stuff materialize right before our very eyes.
This this Greg Sargent guy at the Washington Post, they remember Dick Durbin and Chuck Hugh Schumer know that they're pulling a con job.
So they go out there and they say that all of this economic destruction and all the assault on job creation, you have a Republicans sabotage.
So they know they're doing a con job.
They know that they're perpetrating a con job and they're trial balloon.
This this reporter doesn't.
He believes it.
He's such a parts, he actually believes this stuff, writes it with glee.
So, according to their logic, Bush wanted to destroy the economy too.
That's what's been going on here.
Think about it in a nutshell.
Obama now says we cannot continue to fight in Afghanistan because it's too expensive.
But what is what is the logic here?
Doesn't Obama insist that massive government spending is the only thing that'll lift us out of the recession?
In fact, folks.
In fact.
I'm gonna dig this.
I've got this somewhere in the stack here.
It's either in the soundbite roster, it's somewhere, and I'll find it.
But I remember a bunch of people back when we were in the midst of all this stimulus spending, a bunch of Democrats lamenting the fact that they didn't have the one ingredient FDR had in ending the depression, and that was World War II.
And everybody knows that it was the spending on World War II, a committed, united, unified American cause that really got the American economic engine back up and running.
It wasn't the New Deal, and it wasn't any of uh FDR's social policies.
So you've got a war.
You've got the Afghanistan war, you've got the Iraq war, and Obama throwing away the opportunity.
Because these people have been saying massive government spending is the only thing that'll lift us out of the recession.
Well, I'm sorry, funding a war is massive government spending.
No, it's not Mr. Lombard, not an ethist of President Obama means it.
We're going to have to talk about where the money is spent if you want to be consistent in Duran.
No, I don't.
Government spending.
They've never said what kind.
They say government spending, priming that pump.
That's what revitalizes an economy.
But it hasn't, has it?
All that money being spent and all the stimulus money.
So the trillion dollars spent on Afghanistan was a waste.
But the trillion dollars spent on the stimulus, that was not a waste.
You see how this works.
And now there wasn't a trillion dollars spent on the stimulus.
Because Obama hasn't done anything yet.
That was all Bush.
Everything up until yesterday that hasn't worked.
That was all Bush.
Obama wants a reset.
Remember Hillary heading over to Soviet Union and gave him some kind of a well, the the Russians.
When she was first named Secretary of State, they sent her over there and she had some kind of a they rigged up a device or a doll or something, and it was supposed to say in Russian restart, and they got it wrong.
Something like screw you.
They got the translation or forget what it was.
So here's Obama.
He wants a restart now.
He wants a wants a reset.
Throughout throughout his presidency, media was always trying to hint that Ronaldus Magnus was suffering from Alzheimer's.
When of course he wasn't.
Now who acts more like they are an Alzheimer sufferer than Barack Obama.
He is talking and acting like every day for him is the first day in the White House, the first day of his political career.
He doesn't remember the two years of economic destruction that his policies have brought.
We haven't had any stimulus spending yet.
Do you realize we haven't invested in you yet?
We haven't invested in those shovel ready jobs because last week there weren't any.
Yeah, Obama and Jeff M. out.
There weren't any uh shovel-ready jobs.
Ha ha ho ho hee.
Now, Obama, this unique.
Is there such a thing as selective Alzheimer's because Obama is suffering from it?
First known case, selective Alzheimer's.
Selective dementia.
Now, I think it's Durban was it Durbin or Schumer?
No, it's Durban.
Durbin and Dingy Harry are leading the push for another round of stimulus spending spending.
And Krugman, it's yeah, Krugman.
Krugman wanted another world war too to lift us out of recession.
That's what it was.
That's what I read it.
It was Krugman, the New York Times columnist.
So the left, if they were to be consistent, would be livid that we're pulling out of Afghanistan.
What Obama ought to be doing is using Afghanistan to bring us finally out of this recession.
But can't do that because they have made the decision here, folks, that it's all Bush's fault.
Obama just showed up for work last night, first day.
The last the two previous years, when we thought Obama was at work, he was still nailing down the benefits package, the sick day schedule, and the vacation schedule.
He was still negotiating that, and until he'd had that nailed down, he wasn't going to go to work.
And apparently he's now willing.
He's got the sick days, uh all that's been agreed to, and now finding time to show up to work just in time to save us from all of the errors.
The Bush administration.
I'm fascinated by it.
Every question that we've had has now been answered.
The audacity of this is breathtaking to behold.
I know they engage in projection all the time, and they accuse us of doing what they're doing, but this it's going to be really interesting to me to see how many Democrats they can get.
Like the Bob Beckles of the world, and whoever these um everybody on cable TV is a strategist.
That identifier, the graphic identifier, such and such Republican strategist.
When I first saw that, and I know you think the same thing.
When you see guest so-and-so, Republican strategist, you think that they're an official of the Republican Party somewhere, and that they officially strategize ideas with the party leadership.
That's what I always thought when I saw Republican strategist or Democrat strategist.
But that's not what they are.
95% of these people on cable TV who are ID'd as Democrat or Republican strategists have never been to the Democrat National Committee or the Republican National Committee, and they don't know anybody there.
They just happen to be people that the relative cable networks would like to hire and put them on the air.
They think they're telegenic.
They think they say things unique enough that people will watch them, or that they'll bring credibility somehow.
So you just call them Democrat strategist, Republican strategist.
But they're not in the in the real literal translation of the world.
They are not officials of the Republican Party, and they don't engage in strategy sessions.
They may write a column at the East Timbuktu Times that suggests that something ought to happen here that ten people read.
Ergo, they get to be described as strategists.
It's another one of these giant American media scams.
But I will now be just to set that up, so I want to I now will be interested to see which of these Democrat strategists.
And there will be a few.
Like almost guaranteed will be Alan Combs.
Almost guaranteed you make it two to one odds on this.
Or two to one odds, good odds.
What's the best odds?
Three to one, ten to one, five?
Well, I don't understand Colb's tonight.
Well, probably not now since I'm saying it.
But if I hadn't said in Combs would be on, maybe Fox this afternoon.
Republicans sabotaging the economy.
Almost word for word from that Washington Post story.
Now I won't do it because I've mentioned.
I gotta shut up about that.
Yeah, you know, Democrat strategist, do you put you put that on television?
Democrat strategist.
That sounds better and it looks better than a graphic that says somebody who will say what we want said from this side of the aisle at this time.
If that was the graphic they put up there, that would be not cool.
So I guess uh, ladies and gentlemen, is it is it is it safe to say now that Obama is agreeing with me that he has failed.
These last two years hasn't done anything.
Hasn't not showed up for work for the first time after the 2008 elections last night.
Couple of more sound bites.
This is uh David Rodham Gurgen.
Now, this is uh CNN's special coverage of Obama's address on the beginning of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
And Anderson Cooper, 920, speaking to David Robin Rodham Gurgen, and he said, What did you make of uh Obama's speech here?
It was a very good speech.
I thought he summarized very well what he believed, and you know, I thought he was concise and he made his points.
Okay.
That was a very good speech out there, Anderson.
I thought he summarized very well what he believes.
And you know, I thought he was concise and made his points.
Well, there was a problem.
Anderson Cooper decided to probe a little deeper.
He said, um, do you see this by any chance as a victory for Joe Biden?
Now you see when when you ask David Rodham Gurgen about the substance of the speech, not whether or not Obama made his points and summarized very well for you.
You get into the substance with him and you get a different take.
There's no question about that, General Petraeus and Secretary Clinton and uh Bob Gates all have been reported tonight to have reluctantly accepted this outcome.
They wanted them more robust.
And I frankly must say, what I'm pretty puzzled about is when you're trying to wind down a war, and everybody agrees you have to wind it down in Afghanistan.
You've got a general who's turned around two wars, who's the most successful general of modern times, and he comes to you with a recommendation on how to do it, and you say, no, thank you.
I'm gonna do it a different way.
Oh.
So uh David Rotham Gurgen, not so happy with speech, we learn when he starts examining the specifics in the substance.
Here you well, the answer to this is actually very simple.
Petraeus is a goof.
He's an idiot.
All he's ever been is a military hawk.
All he's ever been is somebody loves killing people, shooting guns and so forth.
The theoreticians at the faculty lounge at Harvard, much more compassionate than that.
We're much more sophisticated than these warmongers.
I'm not gonna listen to some warmonger.
I'm Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-mm.
And I'm not gonna listen to some warmonger.
Besides, I'm not out to win this thing because I don't like victory.
It makes me nervous.
I don't like having to see Emperor Hirohito show up and surrender.
I just don't like that.
Emperor Hirohito, of course, didn't.
David Ignatius, a columnist at the Washington Post, basically says it doesn't matter.
Obama is a commander-in-chief.
Screw the generals.
Charlie Rose asked him a question.
Here's what intrigues me is the president's mind.
What's happened here between the 2009 assessment, that long drawn-out assessment of Afghanistan, and everybody who participated said was very interesting and very productive for them.
What's happening between then and now when Obama says screw it, we're getting out of there?
This president has become commander-in-chief.
This is the president who took a very gutsy decision to send the SEALs in to take out Osama bin Laden.
And I think that changes you.
Well, what he's deciding is I'm going to make up my own mind.
Despite what the generals are telling me, and General Petraeus is a pretty progressive arguer.
And he's deciding what I think works is counterterrorism, and I'm going to have the force that supports that, and I'm not going to send in the coin force as the generals want.
And I'm going to set the policy.
Okay, there you have it.
So he's a commander in chief.
Screw the generals.
Screw Petraeus.
There, Mr. Gergen is your answer.
Obama's a commander-in-chief.
Obama's maturing right before our very eyes.
Obama single-handedly.
We're back to this now.
Can uh handle all of this.
Let me grab a quick phone call here before this hour comes to a screeching halt.
We'll start in Summit, New Jersey.
Jeff, you're up first.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
Great to be here, Rush.
First, let me say uh the best way I possibly can.
Thank you for everything you do on behalf of my children.
Thank you, sir.
I really appreciate that.
Thank you.
Well, no, I we we appreciate it out here, and I'm not sure that you have any idea of the extent to which we really value what you do.
Anyway, back back to the economy.
I think Obama's been playing a little too much golf because I think what he's looking for here is to put it in golfing terms, a mulligan on the economy.
I mean, clearly, this is their economy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who a week or so ago stepped up and very proudly said, yes, absolutely, sure.
This is our economy.
Yeah, it was last week.
The Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
We own the economy.
That's right.
We own the economy.
Well, we can't own the economy last week and disavow it this week.
I think she spoke out of turn.
I think she's a very good thing.
But you can't Well, but these people can.
In their minds, they can, and with a compliant media, they can.
Look at look at this guy in the Washington Post.
He's reporting this without one question mark.
I mean, it's just a fact.
You have Durbin and Schumer say that the Republicans are sabotaging the economy, and that's the way it is.
See, you write the story, that's what they say.
There's no questioning them.
There's no suspicion, there's no curiosity.
It's just what is.
So if Obama wants a mulligan, it's a good way to put it, by the way, Jeff, if he wants a mulligan on the economy, he's got it.
