Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
The props are talking back.
It's not how it's supposed to happen out there on the magical misery tour.
The props are talking back.
All those people just supposed to be props, just supposed to be idolizing the Messiah, and they're talking back.
That's why Obama knows that movies are better than real life.
In the movie, the props don't talk.
How are you, my friends?
It's great to have you here.
El Rushball, now probably 90%, maybe even a little better than that, maybe 91%.
Coming back, raring and ready to go.
Happy to be with you.
The telephone number, if you want to be on a program today, 800-282-2882, and the email address, LRushbow at EIBnet.com.
So have you seen the clip from Obama's campaign stop in Iowa?
Some Tea Party supporters actually had the temerity to ask him some questions that weren't screened beforehand by his campaign.
You want to hear the, here's the typical question.
Grab audio soundbite number one.
This is a typical question Obama was getting out there.
I mean, practically every, and have you seen the bus?
Have you seen that bus looks like the largest armored hearse in history?
Whoever picked a color, it looks like a giant hearse, folks.
The windows are all black, and you can, I know it's for security purposes and all that, but this is a to be out there meet and greet the props tour.
It looks like it looks like some, I'll tell you what it looks like.
It looks like it was designed to deliver Geraldo to some massive tragedy.
The Grim Reaper looks like something Geraldo would travel around in.
Giant black hearse.
And of course, if you heard the regime says, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't give us any grief about this.
Future presidents, if there are any, will be allowed to use the buses too.
They're not Obama's.
They are the property of the U.S. taxpayer.
So future presidents get to use the bus too.
Anyway, here is what Obama is getting.
And this is so faked.
It's so staged, so set up.
I want to echo the sentiments of those who've spoken before me in praising you and thanking you for all of your efforts and all the things that you've tried to do during probably one of the most difficult situations faced by any president in the face of unreasonable obstruction and opposition.
So thank you.
I mean, so obvious.
Who in the world goes out there and speaks that way and says I want to echo the sentiments of those who have spoken before me.
Oh, you poor man.
Gosh, gosh, we really think you deserve to go to Martha's Vineyard.
That'll be the next thing.
We want you to go to Martha's Vineyard.
We know that some of your supporters say that you shouldn't, but you're working so hard.
You face one of the most difficult situations by any president, unreasonable obstruction and opposition.
We want you to go to Martha's Vineyard.
Yes, that's a classic but-boy.
That is exactly what that is.
And this tour is filled with them.
Obama butt-boys all over the place, but some of the props spoke back.
Obama refused to take a question.
Town hall event in Iowa.
The Tea Party member Ryan Rhodes, who's now famous, listen to this.
We got time for one more?
Oh, this is always tough, this last one.
Well, I know.
Hold on a second.
I'm looking over at this.
Sir, you know, I sir.
Sir, sir, hold on.
Sir, hold on a second.
I know it's not going to work if you just stand up and start.
No, he's okay.
But, sir, I know it's not going to work if you just stand up when I asked everybody to raise their hand.
Okay, so I was about to call on somebody.
I didn't see you.
I wasn't avoiding you.
Please, I'll be happy to talk to you afterwards.
I don't know.
In that bite, I couldn't hear the Tea Party guy.
Could you?
That was Ryan Rhodes, and he was saying, I have a question.
Obama said, well, hold on a second.
I'm looking over at this, sir.
And Ryan Rhodes says, how will we, Obama says, sir, Ryan Rhodes, how will we come together when your vice president is calling us terrorists?
And that's when Obama goes, hold on a second.
I know it's not going to work.
I know it's not going to work if you just stand up.
No, no, no.
He's okay.
He's okay.
And they couldn't get anybody to even fake fainting.
Somebody really didn't plan this well because at that point, somebody should have fainted.
And that would have distracted everybody's attention.
And we could say, hey, Medic, can everybody stand aside?
Poor man, some air.
Anybody have any water?
Gin?
Vodka?
French fries?
Didn't happen.
So after the town hall event, while shaking hands with the audience, Obama and Ryan Rhodes finally had their chat.
How is your vice president calling us terrorists?
I would like to understand that.
Okay, I won't explain what he needs to do about me.
You guys said we were acting like terrorists.
What he said was for us to be willing to take the economy to the point was irresponsible.
And it was.
Now, the truth about short me consistently.
Tea Party guy was off-prompter.
Anyway, I'm going to have to translate all this.
Ryan Rhodes said, I would like to understand why your vice president is calling us terrorists.
Obama, okay, I'll explain it right now.
He didn't call you guys terrorists.
And of course, he definitely lied because Biden did.
It would be great if CBS News would release Biden's own denial so that we could hear that.
But Biden did call him terrorists.
I mean, hell, the whole Democrat Party was calling him terrorists.
Dingy Harry, the media was calling him terrorists.
We had hostage taking guns to people's heads.
They were using all that lingo.
You remember that?
They were using all that lingo.
No, no, no, no.
What he said was that for us to be taking the economy to the brink was irresponsible.
It was.
Now, the truth of the matter is, considering what is said about me consistently.
Oh, considering what is said about me consistently.
Barack, you know, let me play your game.
Let me play.
Barack, spend a week in my shoes and have them make up a bunch of racial stuff that you never said.
You spend a week and have everything in the world about you a lie and totally made up and false and phony.
Couldn't handle it.
Dingy Harry couldn't handle it.
They asked him, oh, the truth of the matter is, considering what's said about me consistently.
So it continued.
Here's Ryan Rhodes more with Obama.
The balanced budget is reasonable.
Remember, I didn't appreciate it.
I didn't appreciate it.
He wasn't objecting to the balanced budget amendment.
He was objecting to us almost defaulting.
Somebody has a balanced budget amendment.
We can pass that and nothing else.
It wasn't solid for interest in us.
Were you able to make sense of that?
Okay, all right.
So Obama says, no, not at all.
But all he was saying was, and his supporters, stay strong, president, stay strong.
Obama, he wasn't objecting to the balanced budget amendment.
He was objecting to us almost defaulting.
And Ryan Rhodes said, well, why doesn't somebody pass a balanced budget amendment?
It's simple.
We pass that and nothing else.
Obama said, doesn't sound like you're interested in listening.
So always, always accusing somebody of something.
Now, it really did happen.
Bite me did call them terrorists.
And Obama there very deftly lied and said, Bite me never said any such thing.
And apparently all of the Democrats in the room who reported the Bite Me remarks to the Politico were also lying because that's how we found out about it.
It was in the Politico.
What a shocking thing to see, though.
It's just amazing.
And then poor old Obama, folks, you know, why is he even riding around on this hearse having open-air town hall meetings if this is what it's going to be?
If he's not going to take questions from the audience, if all he's going to get is play audio soundbite number one again, if the whole purpose of this is this.
I want to echo the sentiments of those who've spoken before me in praising you and thanking you for all of your efforts and all the things that you've tried to do during probably one of the most difficult situations faced by any president in the face of unreasonable obstruction and opposition.
Thank you.
Why even do this?
That's not going to fool anybody.
If everybody has that message for you.
How often has the news media identified a code pink honcho or a union goon or any other paid left-wing stooge whenever they disrupt a political proceeding?
They never do.
But here comes Ryan Rhodes.
It's the evil Tea Party.
I thought the Tea Party, by the way, was fading away.
I thought the Tea Party was irrelevant.
Thought the Tea Party was dropping in the polls.
That's the big news from yesterday.
Of course, the answer is that the drive-bys never tell us, yeah, that was a code pink person.
Yeah, that was some union goon thug hired by Organizing for America to go out there and disrupt.
They never do that.
Well, let Ryan Rhodes show up to Tea Party.
An unpaid, self-described Tea Party leader ask a question.
We hear all about his radical background.
And we've got a story here from an outraged French news agency.
U.S. President Barack Obama went head-to-head with a prominent conservative Tea Party activist in a microcosm of a political clash that'll play out in the 2012 election.
Ryan Rhodes, a leader of the group in Iowa, took on Obama during an open-air town hall meeting, which marked a moment of new intensity in the president's campaign for a second term.
Why is he riding around on a hearse having open-air town hall meetings if he's not going to take questions from the audience?
Maybe you should take some questions that haven't been written out beforehand by the campaign.
Fascinating to see.
And then, oh, Fault, where are you?
Yeah, get this.
Last night in Iowa Town Hall event, more from President Obama.
We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, got the economy moving again, created 2 million private sector jobs over the last 17 months.
But over the last six months, we've had a run of bad luck.
Some things that we could not control.
The question is, how do we manage these challenging times and do the right things when it comes to those things that we can control?
See, the problem we have is not with our country.
The problem is that our politics is broken.
Boring.
The problem is, is that we've got the kind of partisan brinksmanship that is willing to put party ahead of country.
You know, you're more interested in seeing their political opponents lose than seeing the country win.
The two go hand in hand.
You losing equals the country winning.
But now it's a run of bad luck.
Oh, poor guy.
Hope and change has transmorphied or transmogrified, transmorgrified, trans, it trans to something out there into bad luck.
Poor old Obama and his bad luck.
Let's catalog.
Let's catalog, folks, this run of bad luck that Obama had.
The Democrats control Congress for four years.
Obama got his $800 billion not-so-shovel-ready stimulus bill.
He jammed job-killing Obamacare down our throats.
Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform bill signed into law.
His EPA has been on a regulation-crazed rampage.
He's got 99% fawning media coverage.
Ben Bernanke prints trillions of dollars that Obama says is totally awesome.
The media has ignored the Fast and Furious scandal.
Business media gets kickbacks from Obama's stash every time they use the word unexpected in a news story.
And the only color available to paint Obama's current campaign bus was mortuary black.
That's his bad luck.
He made his bad luck.
All of that is disaster.
101.
Yeah, we had a bad run of bad luck.
So our man and child president in his arrested development state of mind confuses making excuses and laying blame on others with the leadership.
Then he said, but don't worry.
Don't worry.
By the way, no wonder John Huntsman liked working for this guy.
Get this next bite.
Moving forward, my basic attitude is we know what to do.
I'll be putting forward, when they come back in September, a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs, and to control our deficit.
And my attitude is get it done.
Okay, so I'll have a plan in September.
It's about the same time that Huntsman said he'll have his economic plan.
Now, how many plans has Obama had?
I'll be putting forward a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs.
Well, what was the $800 billion stimulus?
We know what it was.
That was a plan.
But what was, it was actually just a money laundering scheme.
Money from his stash went to state and federal government workers who pay dues.
Go back to the Democrat Party.
Wall, let's see, had a plan that Obama cared.
That's supposed to lower premiums, lower costs, expand coverage, reduce the deficit.
Dodd-Frank financial regulatory, he's done all these things.
Every damned one of them has been an abject failure, unemployment extension.
What's left, folks?
What's loan modification, mortgage modification?
He's done all kinds of stuff.
He's acting like he hadn't even been inaugurated yet.
And now, this whole business of we reverse the recession until bad luck hits.
He should have started that story with Once Upon a Time.
Sounds like a bedtime story to his two daughters.
Once upon a time, there was this great president, an historic president, a man loved, worshipped, and idolized by nearly everyone.
And then a rash of bad luck hit.
He said three things.
Obama said three things set back the economy.
The Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, the European debt crisis.
Now, he took credit for the Arab Spring.
Do you remember Tahriri Square, which is not a square in Egypt?
When that uprising started, Obama and the regime gang took to the television cameras, tried to make it look like the people in Egypt were replicating his 2008 campaign.
They tried to make it look like Obama was responsible for the Arab Spring.
It was a wonderful thing.
And we had our own conservative intelligentsia, our own media.
Yes, sir, I bought democracy in full flower when all it was was the Muslim Brotherhood taking over in Egypt.
But tell me, how did the Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, the European debt crisis, how did those events contribute to the bankruptcy of the solar panel company in Massachusetts?
Oh, wait till you hear about this.
All kinds of green energy companies have gone kaput.
How did the Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, the European debt crisis contribute to the pathetic sale of the Chevy Vault?
And how did they contribute to the horrible economy before any of these occurred?
He wants to run on these excuses.
If the so-called Arab Spring is destroying the American economy, why did Obama try to take credit for it?
Is that why Obama hasn't demanded that murderous thug in Syria to step down, looking away from the daily slaughter, simply Obama's brilliant plan preventing America from a triple-dip recession?
Gonna blame that on Basher Assad.
Hi, folks.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, starting a million conversations.
America's real anchor man, truth detector, and doctor of democracy.
Somebody help me out here.
Ladies and gentlemen, drawing a blank.
Who was it?
Who was it that said we need to go out there, argue with our neighbors, and get in their face?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, it was Obama.
Right.
It's Obama.
Barack Huzsane Obama.
That was way back September 18, 2008.
You go out there and you get in their face, argue with our neighbors.
I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors.
I want you to talk to them whether they're independent or whether they're Republican.
I want you to argue with them.
I want you to get in their face.
Still from here on in, Obama's going to have to avoid all those pesky people who might try to ask him questions, like the Tea Party people.
Just, I don't know, folks.
It's fascinating to watch all this.
And by the way, you know, this guy.
Oh, we got Ryan Rhodes on the phone.
Is he ready to go now?
We got Mr. Tea Party in Iowa, Ryan Rhodes on the phone.
Ryan, great to have you here on the EIB network.
And I was just going to observe that, you know, unlike whenever there were people that quote-unquote heckled Bush, CNN made a beeline to have them on their network to discuss it.
Has CNN called you to come in and talk about your experience with President Obama?
CNN has.
I want to thank you for letting me out.
This is like unbelievable.
I've always wanted to get out and I've never been able to get in.
So, but yeah, no, CNN and about every station has pretty much contacted me.
Are you going to appear?
Yeah, I mean, it's time somebody started talking about the other side and letting Obama know that he's not getting a free pass.
Well, God bless you.
You are Mr. Guts and Mr. Courage.
And what you did yesterday, especially, Ryan, in the face of all this bogus news that the Tea Party was losing favor, you know, plummeting in the polls and so forth, what you did was gutsy and inspiring to a lot of people because we've all heard the staged comments that his supporters were telling.
You hang in there, Mr. President.
Nobody's faced tougher odds than you, a meaner bunch of opponents, blah, blah, blah.
How did you find him?
Did you, in your conversation?
It sounded, and all I have here is sound.
I haven't heard it.
Sounded like he was flustered.
It was actually somewhat cordial.
I mean, I'm sure it flustered him a little bit.
I stood up and he didn't, he obviously, I mean, it's hard to miss somebody standing there.
So I said, I'm going to ask this question anyway.
And I respectfully waited until the very end of the town hall.
And then he didn't want to answer it.
His vice president's going to go out and say that.
They're going to deny it.
Their whole party's narrative is we're terrorists when he was the one hanging out with Bill Ayers.
And, you know, the fact is the Secret Service didn't even budge because they knew I wasn't going to do anything.
They knew all I wanted to do was talk to the president and let him know that I did not appreciate what he was doing to our country.
Well, you did it.
You got the message across.
Well, I hope so.
It's amazing the emails.
I've had an awful lot of thank you emails and thank you requests, but I've also had some pretty visceral emails, if you will.
Oh, yeah, you're going to have it.
It's kind of funny.
So, you know, that happens when you stand up for what's right.
I remember when Ronald Reagan said that when Bill Buckley got in there and was making waves, he asked everybody else what they're doing.
Well, Obama didn't call you a hostage taker or the enemy to your face, did he?
No, no, no.
He said that in fairness, he was called, he's been called a socialist, not born here, ruining our country and everything.
But in fairness, he embraced the socialist title when Time magazine put it out.
And now that we've made it unpopular by standing up, now all of a sudden he thinks it's dirty name-calling.
Yeah, exactly right.
Well, you know, you illustrated a lot of things just by showing up.
How many people were at that event at the time you spoke up, what do you think?
I want to say 500 plus.
I mean, it was a ticketed event.
You couldn't get in without a ticket.
And I kind of, I guess, snuck through those cracks there.
But I requested a ticket to go and to be a part of this.
And, you know, it's a town hall.
It's time he heard from everybody.
I was at the state fair.
I was at the Straw Poll.
You know, they send people to heckle our people.
I mean, somebody virtually jumped Michelle Bachman, and that's why she had to be rushed out with security at the state fair.
And, you know, that's why I said, you know, I'm going to be respectful, but I'm going to go out there and let him know this is not right to do this.
This is not right for you to call us this and then tell us we're unreasonable.
He said, I'm Mr. Reasonable.
I've been accused of being Mr. Reasonable.
And I did say, I will never accuse the president of that.
Ryan, what do you do for a living?
I actually used to, I was one of the car dealerships that got shut down by Obama in 2009.
So I was part of one of those.
And then I went to work radio, and I'm talking to people who are telling me if business owners who say if cap and trade get passed, I'm going to have to fire my employees, employees, otherwise I'm not going to be able to pay these standards.
So I used to actually sell radio even for your program as well.
And then after that, I just decided it was time for me to get out.
And I do some consulting.
I'm kind of between things because we just finished a tea party bus tour around Iowa to train caucus goers for a month on a few things, as well as mention the gold standard, which is the fact of getting our country back to sound money.
So right now I'm in the middle of figuring out what my next step is, but I know the fact is somebody's got to be standing up here to people because there are no more free passes.
Ryan, you are in the middle of your next step.
Yeah.
No, no, I'm serious.
With what you're doing right now, you are in your next step.
You're organizing tea party events.
You're doing grassroots work.
This is the kind of work you're doing is what wins elections.
It really is.
And you are at the grassroots level, and what you're doing is going to bubble up, ever mess up, and opportunities, galore are going to present themselves to you as a result of this instance, of this event.
Yeah, well, I have to, I also have to give a shout out to my mom and dad, John and Janice Rhodes.
They're up in upstate New York, but they were out there, and, you know, they were Democrats in the 80s.
But I remember sitting and watching your show at one point, and you said, you were talking about rugged individualism.
My dad looks at me and says, you know, I want you to remember this, son.
This is America.
You can be anything you want to be.
And right now, the reason I'm doing this is because that's under attack.
And I just want to tell you that that's meant a lot to me is you standing up for people that rugged individualism that we can do this and we don't need the government.
It actually hinders us and holds us back.
See, folks, this is why you need to be up.
How old are you, Ryan?
I'm 29 years old.
29 years old.
This is why I always am optimistic and why every one of you should here is a 29-year-old man taking it upon himself to do what he thinks necessary to preserve his country for himself, family, and everything else.
You know, there was a famous poet, Ryan, and this relates to you.
I mean, to a T. Famous poet once said, life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans.
That was John Lennon of the Beatles.
And that's exactly what's exactly what you're doing right now.
Life is happening to you while you think you're busy making other plans, and you are in the middle of your next step.
Well, I look forward to what it is.
I just know that there's, you know, I've been, I've been incredibly blessed that, you know, God's given me the chance to get out and represent the voice of some people who didn't have the chance to do that.
I was trained at a great place called the Leadership Institute.
I was Morton Blackwell's intern, and I mean, they gave me the tools to be able to get out here and make a difference and be able to get active in this.
And I'm doing my best to use them as good as I can.
Well, you worked with a good guy there with Morton Blackwell.
Yep.
You did.
That was fantastic.
You know, you wait.
This is going to lead to something that you're going to really enjoy doing.
You've found a not now, I'm not saying this is because of your little incident with Obama.
I'm basing this on talking to you, the way you sound about life, yourself, your future.
You know, you've got vistas ahead of you that you can't even see.
And I'm sure you've got goals, but don't narrow them too much because you might miss some opportunities come along.
That's what the next thing is.
Well, that's it.
You're in it.
The next thing's happened.
You keep a sharp.
I get within 24 hours, within 24 hours, your life is going to change in ways that you never imagined.
Yeah, I mean, I realize there's a lot of things.
I know there's going to be a major attack coming on because their idea is to vilify everybody who decides to dare to stand up.
And, you know, I'm sure nobody's perfect here, but I'll tell you one thing is I know that, for instance, I mean, just recently, I mean, my life's been changed around from what I decided to do.
That's what got me involved a few years ago was a complete drastic reformation in my life.
God just saved me, and I owe this to him, and that's really all there is to do.
And I don't believe that he wants people who are dependent on the government because he wants people dependent on him.
Brian, Brian, let me ask you a question.
Are you proficient with computers?
Yeah.
What kind of computer do you use?
Well, I have an old Acer, I guess.
Oh, gosh, that's embarrassing.
Do you have an iPad?
I do have an iPad.
It's actually my first Apple product ever.
You like it?
Yeah, I do.
I love it.
All right.
Well, I'm going to send you another one.
I'm going to send you one of only 25 EIB Rush Limbaugh Signature Engraved iPads.
Oh, my gosh.
And I'm also going to send you a 13-inch MacBook Air.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's fun, cute little computer to learn the Mac on, and it's light, carried around, you'll love it.
So you hang on.
Mr. Snirdly will get whatever address information we need to send you this stuff, and we'll get that out FedEx either today or tomorrow.
Well, I thank you so much.
I also want to mention that I'm one of the uninsured, that I believe I've decided to take care of myself.
And, you know, when some of those things happen, you don't look to the government because that's when you stop looking to your own individual self and looking to God.
And so I just want to say that a lot of these things they may paint this, you know, a billionaire funded this, funded this.
That's not.
I went there.
I requested the tickets on my own.
And I want to make sure people know that, that this was my question.
It wasn't given to me by somebody else.
And I appreciate everything you're doing.
I appreciate what you're doing.
We can tell that.
That's awesome.
Hey, hey, hey, you don't need, we can tell the genuineness of your question and your entire conversation with him.
There was nothing staged about it.
It didn't even appear that way.
But, you know, another thing about your point about health care and the government, there's one thing to remember.
Whether it's healthcare or your job or your career, there's nobody who's going to care more about that than you.
There's nobody going to care more about it than you.
There's nobody going to have more passion about you than you.
And so you are your own best advocate.
You're your own best investment.
And it's great that you have figured that out.
You know, you can't fake sincerity.
And you were sincere in that whole bite.
So I'm glad that you were able to get through today.
Now stay on the hole so Snerdley can get the address.
We send the stuff to you.
Thanks for handing me, having me.
You're welcome to Iowa anytime.
We'd love to have you for an event out here.
Thanks very much.
Ryan Rhodes and Des Moines, he was the gentleman, the Tea Partier, who had the exchange with President Obama yesterday wanting to know why Vice President Bite Me was calling the Tea Party members terrorists.
So we'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Very fortunate that Ryan Rhodes is able to get through.
And I get this.
Ryan Rhodes is a subscriber to RushLimbaugh.com.
Ryan Rhodes is a subscriber to the Limbaugh Letter.
That is the largest political newsletter, the most widely circulated political newsletter in the country.
It's a rush baby.
He's a Tea Party guy.
So we're also going to send him a bunch of two if by tea.com.
We asked him what his favorite flavor is.
He's tasted it, and he likes the regular.
Is that what he told you, Snerdley?
He likes the regular.
So Ryan Rhodes, Tea Party leader in Iowa, is going to get some two if by tea, as well as some of the other stuff.
You know, there you have it.
Maybe our first Rhodes scholar here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
You know, the most telling thing about Obama's exchange with Mr. Rhodes.
Let me go back and find the actual bite here.
We have time to find this.
Grab number four.
And this is just 20 seconds long.
The most telling part, telling thing about this bite happens at the very end of it.
The balanced budget is recent.
I didn't appreciate it.
I didn't appreciate the crime.
He wasn't objecting to the balanced budget amendment.
He was objecting to us almost to the bottom.
Somebody has a balanced budget.
We can pass that and nothing else.
Obama told him at the end, doesn't sound like you're interested in listening.
Obama said, it doesn't sound like you're interested in listening.
And the truth is that Ryan Rhodes has heard everything Obama has said and is diametrically opposed to it.
And the thing about this is, is that this, we are told, is supposed to be an Obama listening tour.
Obama's supposed to be out there in a talk to listen to the people.
Extravaganza.
So some guy comes up, says, look at your vice president's calling us terrorists.
The balanced budget's reasonable.
There's nothing unreasonable about it.
