Obama yields to Baemer's Bayner September the eighth speech timing.
And listen to this poll quote with new August unemployment numbers ready to be released Friday.
Obama is under pressure to lay out his plan.
In seeking a joint session of Congress to deliver it, he's turning the effort into a public relations campaign.
AP wrote that.
Unbelievable.
AP describing this as not something hugely statesmanlike, but rather.
PR campaign, public relations campaign.
If Obama really cared, you know what he would do at this joint session is apologize.
He would apologize for the damage that he's done to the U.S. economy.
He would apologize for these policies and swear that he's now going to do a 180.
He would apologize for what he has done.
No, I'm serious.
If he really cared, he would apologize.
Now, of course, I'm not under any illusion.
He's not going to apologize.
He's not through, folks.
He's going to double down.
He's going to make proposals here that the Republicans can't possibly accept and try to create a campaign where he gets to run against Congress.
But let's look at that.
He's going to run against a Congress, which for, by the time he runs three years of the four will have been under total Democrat Party control.
Now that's that's going to be a tough point to make because Congress is Congress.
And it's going to be a tough point to convince a whole lot of voters.
Well, yeah, Democrats ran to Congress.
People instinctively hate Congress anyway.
So that's what he's banking on.
He's going to do a Harry Truman.
Fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week, assigned the job market may be improving slightly.
They've been holding on hope here at the AP for I don't know how many years.
Weekly applications fell 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 49,000.
Still over 400,000.
A strike by Verizon workers drove applications higher during the previous two weeks.
Strike has ended and is no longer affecting applications.
So AP is saying here the new claims rate spiked the last two weeks because of the Verizon strike.
Now I want to know how do people on strike who were not locked out were eligible for unemployment benefits in the first place.
People go on strike, people didn't lose their jobs.
They they quit.
And yet they get counted.
But if you take away the Verizon spike from the last two weeks, new unemployment claims are actually still up, not.
Since uh three weeks ago, new claims were eventually revised up to 399,000.
Now they're at 409,000.
So there really isn't any downward trend in jobless claims as the AP insists that there is.
Well, they're doing everything they can, ladies and gentlemen, to pull out all the stops in advance of the forthcoming jobs speech from CNN.
Only a third of all Americans approve of how Obama is handling the economy.
It's actually not even a third, is it 28%?
A third would be 33.
CNN O R C International poll indicated more than three Quarters of the public say the country is in bad shape right now.
There's little wonder why the president's getting such low marks.
According to the poll released uh yesterday, twenty-eight percent of people questioned say things are going well.
Who are they?
Who are these twenty-eight percent?
Are they the ones getting government checks?
No doubt about it.
Um, you know, yesterday we spent a lot of time on this program chronicling all the failures.
Social uh solar energy companies that have all been bankrolled by the federal government.
What do we count?
Four or five of them yesterday in the last six months that have gone belly up.
The Washington Times has an editorial today.
Obama's solar stimulus snafu.
Government subsidized green jobs aren't evergreen.
President Obama made a high-profile visit May 2010 to Cylindra, solar panel manufacturing plant, Fremont, California.
Company received $535 million in loans from the energy department.
They was a centerpiece of the regime's economic stimulus effort.
Companies like Cylindra leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future, so said Obama.
We had the bite yesterday.
And then yesterday, Cylindra closed its corporate headquarters, said they're filing for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers.
The Cylindra debacle is a case study in the failure of government intervention in the economy.
Now, this outfit, Cylinder was founded in 2005.
They manufactured a rooftop solar panel designed chiefly for commercial applications.
Cylindra was a poster child of the utopian future envisioned by the regime when oodles of green jobs would relieve the nation's unemployment rate, generate clean energy, and help the environment.
Energy Secretary Stephen Kachou rushed through loan guarantees and money began to flow to Solyndra from the Federal Financing Bank.
The terms of the loans, just more than one percent interest in most cases, were well below the rates competitors had to pay 1% interest rate.
Competition in a solar marketplace is stiff, particularly from the Chicoms, and Cylindra could not make a profit.
In the spring of 2010, the company spent around $3.5 million promoting an initial public stock offering, an IPO, to raise $300 million more to retire some of the government debt, but the company couldn't escape an inconvenient truth.
In the first three quarters of 2009, it grossed $59 million against production costs of 108 million dollars.
That's exactly right.
Those are the dirty numbers.
$59 million gross sales against production costs of $108 million.
Cylindra argued that economies of scale would eventually drive down the red ink, but the investment community wasn't impressed.
The IPO was withdrawn when government loan guarantees of more than half a billion dollars were secured.
Cylindra bragged that its new plant expansion would create 3,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent manufacturing positions.
On a plant site visit, Vice President Bite Me enthused, these are jobs that won't be exported.
Not true, Joe.
After the failure of the IPO attempts, Cylindra sent half its manufacturing to China.
We didn't know that yesterday, but they did.
So Obama goes in there and gives them a ringing endorsement.
Kiss of death.
Biden goes in there and says, D jobs, no way they ever leave America.
They have taxpayers are funding jobs in China.
Exactly right.
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce is attempting to investigate Solyndra and the extent of its political connections to the White House.
But it's being stymied by no-show witnesses and White House refusal to turn over records.
One of the company's leading investors, oil billionaire George Kaiser, Was a campaign donation bundler for Obama in 2008.
An investigation by the government accountability office found the Department of Energy announced Cylindra's loan approval prior to completion of external reviews required under procedures.
Earlier this month, the Office of Management and Budget agreed to comply with a House subpoena for up to 1,800 pages of records related to the Cylindra loan decision.
Whatever sweetheart back channel deals, the investigation eventually reveals the lesson is that it takes more to survive in the marketplace than just trendy green credentials.
Political connections with the White House and a boatload of taxpayer money.
Last year, Obama said the true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Cylindra.
Well, let's hope not.
Because here you have virtually Well, you've got crony capitalism, you've got corruption, you've got fraud, you've got deceit.
You got a business that never existed, really.
There's no business there.
This is just one of three or four solar energy companies gone down the drain.
There's no business there.
But if you were a bundler for Obama, you raised a bunch of money and then said uh what you want in exchange is half a million dollars to start up a business?
Sure, no problem.
What would you do?
Half a billion, yeah.
Half a billion.
I'm sorry, half a billion.
500 million dollars.
So there's no business there.
There just isn't any business.
Well, it is fraud.
I I do consider it fraud.
You want to know why the media doesn't consider it fraud or I don't know why it's not outright fraud.
Uh probably because of the intentions.
The intentions here were to come up with keen emity to save the planet and to save the environment and the polar bears, and to uh and to provide future for millions and millions and millions of dads.
And so how can you have fraud when such wonderfully big-hearted intentions?
That's the way it works.
Okay, folks, brief time out.
We come back.
Your phone calls are next.
Don't go away.
Okay, as promised back to the phones we go.
Robert in Atlanta.
We'll start with you.
Great to have you on the EIB network today, today, sir.
Hello.
Um hey, Rush.
Um, wanted to comment on President Obama's scheduling of the job speech for the night of the Republican debate.
Yeah.
I think this was a churlish trick that is probably already backfired big time because it has um increased awareness of the debate probably tenfold.
Uh, mainstream media's been forced to report on it.
People who never would have heard about it now have and will tune in.
Well, that's probably true.
Uh I hadn't, I hadn't thought about that, but you're, I think probably have a good point.
I think he's uh, you know, more viewers or more Republican voters.
Well, here's you know Obama has been schooled in radicalism, not Americanism.
That's that that that's one thing.
Um radicalism and Americanism do not mix.
He he views the misery of others as the necessary steps that must be taken to change the country.
And so he wants this, he wants this joint session speech to continue to run down this country.
He wants to continue the opportunities he has to get even with this country.
There's no mistake that that's what this is.
As far as drawing attention to the uh to the Republican debate, that's probably happened.
Whereas a lot of people did you know, September 7th, I was that probably not a whole lot of people knew there was going to be a Republican debate.
If you don't watch NBC, you wouldn't hear about it because they're the network covering it, therefore they're the only ones promoting it.
And some of the news networks might be covering it coming up as a news event, but not promoting coverage in terms of promoting uh it to something, a vehicle to be watched.
Let's uh audio sum by number six.
This is the forehead.
Paul Bagala, who was on Anderson Cooper 44 last night.
Uh Cooper said, were you surprised by this?
Speakers doing the president a favor.
I don't want people to have to choose between uh watching the president's plan for jobs and watching the Republican debate.
Why?
Does you think the forehead thinks that the GOP debate would have beaten Obama?
I don't I don't want to have I don't want people to have to choose between watching the president's plan for jobs and watching the Republican debate.
The president's plan for jobs is not going to be seen by a lot of people by virtue of that football game being that day and NBC's contractual commitment to it.
The left coast is not going to see this thing live if it goes at 7 30, 7 o'clock or 7.
Well, it'll be live, but it'll be in the middle of rush hour.
And I don't think people are going to leave work early to go home to hear an Obama jobs speech that they've already heard before.
Here's F. Chuck Todd.
F. Chuck Todd thinks that Boehner bailed out the president this this morning on MSNBC.
A lot of Democrats quietly around time were grumbling at the timing in the first place that Boehner actually bailed the president out here.
Had this speech gone as planned, then you would have had the president having this speech being politicized, being set up as almost a debate with the Republican candidates themselves.
They would have been elevated on a larger platform.
At least this time the president's speech gets treated like a policy speech.
Yeah, that's that's wishful thing.
It isn't going to be treated like a policy speech anymore.
I mean, even AP F. Chuck is out calling it a PR effort now.
But but the Republicans now granted they won't have a chance to reply to it since their debate goes first.
But if I were running the Republican debate, we know what he's gonna say.
We know what he's gonna say.
If I'm a Republican candidate, I take a stab at a couple things I know he's gonna say, and I refute them anyway.
And then when he speaks, I, the Republican candidate, look presciant.
Baehner bailed out the president.
That should give you an idea of how bad this is for Obama.
Boehner bailed out the president.
We've got Carpal.
Would I have the soundbite here?
Grab uh grab number 24.
We got we got James Carvel this morning on uh Good Morning America.
I do think this is a a really big debate, and I think the White House was out of bounds in trying to schedule a speech during a debate.
I know giving a choice between watching a debate and a speech, I'd watch the debate, and I'm not even a Republican, or even close to being a Republican.
But I do support Hillary.
Carville not doing any favors for President Obama.
Say, hey, I'll watch a debate.
I'm not a Republican, I'm not even close to being a Republican.
I'd watch the debate before I'd watch the speech.
Because Carville knows what's in the speech.
Now back to F. Chuck Todd painting a sad, sad picture here.
The poor White House stuck between a rock and a hard place.
This on last night's nightly news, the anchor Brian Williams spoke with uh White House.
I guess he's their political director of Chief White House correspondent, F. Chuck Todd.
And uh Williams said Thursday bumps it up against another TV event.
Let's face it, Saints Packers, same day the NFL season gets underway.
That's what the White House was up against.
They said Republican presidential debate or the NFL.
They picked the Republican presidential debate.
They were not up against either.
You know, you people are gonna have to realize there's a reason nobody watches MSNBC.
There is a reason that the mainstream media is losing subscribers and readers and viewers.
This speech isn't important.
This jobs plan's not important.
F. Chuck it could wait for ten days until Obama finished his vacation.
It does not have to go on either of these two days.
The only reason it has to go somewhat soon is that Obama himself pinned himself in by saying, I'm gonna give the speech when I get back from vacation.
Do it on the do it on the sixth.
Up, Congress not back.
Call him back.
I bet Snerdley's right.
I'll bet this thing happens in the afternoon on the eighth.
I'll bet it happens.
I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if they schedule this thing sometime between noon and three on September the eighth.
Let's just wait and see.
I probably shouldn't even have said don't tell anybody I said that.
Because if they hear I'm speculating it could change what they're thinking.
Oh, let's see.
Who's next?
Aaron in uh in Hampton, Minnesota.
Great to have you, sir on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Russ.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
You bet.
Hey, just uh in regards to all the reporters that are concerned about this uh being an unprecedented move by Speaker Boehner.
Uh precedents have to start somewhere, so I guess I want to congratulate Speaker Boehner on being the first person to uh to do such a thing and to set this precedent.
So congratulations to him.
Yeah, I agree.
Well, and this is well, this whole notion this is uh unprecedented is a bit of a stretch.
Yeah.
Uh anyway, this is they're just trying to uh it isn't gonna work.
It it really i it isn't going to work.
Obama's plan has waited for almost three years.
What's another day?
The first plan hasn't worked.
First plan was uh the February of n of 2009.
Everything he's done hasn't worked.
What's the urgency?
What's another day?
The longer the better.
His prescriptions are just for more failure.
What's the urgency for that?
Your guiding light, Rush Limbaugh, a man, a legend.
A way of life.
This is Joan in uh Plymouth, Vermont.
Nice to have you.
How are you?
Good, nice speaking with you.
Thank you.
I um I was responding to your initial uh the beginning of your program where you were discussing about the Republicans having to cave, you know, uh to our president.
Or the pr I'm sorry, to the re president having to cave.
Um my husband said he was listening to Fox within the last day when these were uh the confliction with the uh setup of these uh two things, um, you know, the debate and and then the president.
Uh that he had heard that a lawyer was saying that according to the Constitution, I was just curious if you had any of these facts.
According to the Constitution that the the uh speaker does have the right to change any joint meetings of Congress.
Uh we also think this is deliberate on the president's part.
It's a setup so as to um demean the Republicans that he had to cave.
He had all this time, weeks to uh come out with a job plan.
It's another um it's another fiasco.
Agree with you 100%.
Terrific.
Well, the uh speaker of the House does have the right to refuse a presidential request for a joint session.
Uh-huh.
It's his chamber.
Yes.
Okay.
The president, there's separation of powers.
The president just can't call up there and say I'm heading over there.
Uh put everybody in the room.
I've got a speech, just like Boehner can't call.
Say, put your cabinet together.
I'm coming over to tell them what I think.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So what your husband heard on Fox News was uh was accurate.
Yes.
You won't hear it on any other station.
No.
Well, AP is pr is portraying this as Obama heaven caved.
Yeah, I did hear you say that.
Uh uh, Snerdley had said to make mention of living here in the state, the condition of the state here is a complete disaster.
Um huge county roads.
Uh, and they're not just gone and wiped out.
There's six eight foot drops.
The foundation, the whole um I heard this morning that a big shopping center up in uh oh, it runs right adjacent to the uh Connecticut River.
Well, you would agree that completely gone.
Vermont mostly is populated by white Americans, true.
There you go, yes.
Yeah.
And so I've heard that Obama steered that hurricane after Vermont.
Yeah.
Just like Bush steered uh Katrina to New Orleans to get rid of the black people there.
Yeah, well certainly there's something in the White House where presidents can steer hurricanes.
Is that right?
Well, probably.
You never know.
He can do, you know, after all, he sets himself above, so uh he's on a pedestal.
Very disappointing the way our country is going, and I hope that uh uh the Republicans will stand fast.
I think that's where we Well, let me ask you a question now.
Joan, let me ask you a question.
Are you surprised that that Boehner uh told the president no?
Um I surprised.
I was.
Yeah, in a way I think we were.
Um, look at the time the guy had.
But Boehner is I don't know, sometimes he's we he strikes us as uh wishy-washy.
I mean, I forgive me for my uh I'll tell you why I was surprised.
Tell you why I was surprised because I knew.
I knew that the pressure from the inside the beltway Republican intelligentsia would be let the president have the date.
If you if you deny the president, you're gonna drive the independence away.
I I knew what they were gonna say.
I knew what the pressure was gonna be.
On all of the predictable blogs and all of the the the various uh news magazines.
My prediction was John, if you if you reject this, the independents are gonna think you're playing petty politics with the president, let him have the date.
I figured that the pressure would have been on him.
I figured that uh he'd go ahead and let the press have a date.
So last night when I was uh we got a little puppy, and we introduced the puppy to the two adult sheep dogs last night, which was a riot.
We were expecting the two adult sheepdogs to get territorial.
It was the puppy.
The puppy that ran around chased them.
Yapping at their ankles.
It was folks, it was hilarious to watch this little ten week old sheepdog puppy chase the adult sheepdogs around the room uh telling them what for when we thought it'd be just the opposite.
So I'm watching all that go on and I'm uh sit down later, and I I see I see Boehner's letter to uh to Obama and I saw because I've I just not nothing against Boehner.
I I really um I I I expected him to go ahead and let have Obama hit the date.
But but he didn't must have been listening to here.
You know, our new motto here is resist we much.
And Obama resisted we much.
Uh or Boehner resisted we much.
So I felt good last night.
Uh after and then Newt.
You know, Newton's mainer a note.
I saw this new Newton's Maynard note, hey hey John, from one speaker to another, way to go.
So from one speaker to one.
Anyway, I was pleased.
I was uh I was pleased.
And I was doubly pleased because I knew that the Republican intelligents would be ticked off.
And I knew that the drive-by's would be ticked off.
And I knew there'd be a lot of people sh I knew the White House would be they expected Boehner to cave.
Make no mistake about that.
You know damn well they expected Boehner to cave.
And he didn't.
Bob and Bronx, New Jersey, is that right?
Bronx, New Jersey, great Bronx.
The Bronx in New York is the typo up there.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Good.
Good.
I wanted to uh say first off that uh if you decide on this rescheduled uh date of the president's speech to watch a football game, you know what that makes you.
An American.
Unfortunately it makes you a racist.
Oh.
How could that be?
Most of the people play in the NFL are black.
I agree.
But no, my my uh point was, and you know, I did what other callers have already said.
I uh I and I do believe uh not just to pat you on the back that your uh show yesterday when you were just uh calling it you know such a bad move to have this on the night of the uh of of the uh uh of the other Republican candidates debate.
Uh again, I I think it made sense.
Maybe it made sense to Boehner and his people, and they said, you know what, you you gotta you gotta uh you gotta make the move here.
I don't think there's any question about it.
I really don't.
And I I uh happy to see it.
Right.
And last thing I I'll say uh i in Paterson, New Jersey, the president is scheduled to come in on Sunday and uh and talk to the people uh about what his compassion to the people about what uh about the flood and their their conditions there.
And I feel and I told snurly this, I feel it's completely and utterly a campaign stop.
Yeah.
And it's for the media to say, look at how compassionate this president is.
He went there, he's talking to the people, he's grieving with them.
Yeah, well, what you need to say is, hey pal, I thought you're gonna lower the sea levels, and if you can lower the sea levels, you can prevent floods.
So how did this happen?
Exactly right.
Well, look, I'm glad you called out there, Bob.
Have a uh have a wonderful day.
Dad did you get hit hard in the Bronx by any of this weather?
Uh you know what?
A little bit of uh, you know, water, but uh I live in an apartment, so it didn't hit me, so thank God.
My sister upstate, maybe a little bit, you know.
Well, an apartment that means your elevator, you're not on the ground floor.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Okay, well good.
I'm happy to hear that.
Thanks much for the phone call.
Thank you.
You bet.
We'll be right back, folks.
Sit tight.
We'll be back before you know it.
Say, folks, in the next hour, we have a pretty exciting announcement about two if by tea.
We got a really super duper uh little promotion coming up.
I'll be telling you about it in the next hour.
In fact, if you go uh to if my tea dot com now you can read about it because excuse me, because it's up there and and uh detailed, but that's nothing like hearing me talk about it.
No, I had to sip something there because otherwise it would be dead air.
It's not that I uh not that I have bad manners.
Hang on.
Uh uh new flavor not out yet, no, but it's soon.
We uh Well, I can't give away too many secrets on the new flavor, but it's imminent.
All right.
Uh Robert, Phoenix, Arizona, great that you uh called Sir.
Welcome to the program.
Mr. Russ, how are you doing?
Very well, thank you.
All right.
I I am defending you every chance I can get.
But my co-workers here.
They can't take the analogy of you using the colonostopy and find Obama's head up in there.
I say he must be right because everything he says is mine is all alone from God.
So go with it.
Okay, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's start from the beginning here.
You you you said that you def you defend me to co co-workers.
Yes, sir.
Co-workers and my fellow students at school also.
I also go to school at school also.
I grew up listening to you.
I grew up listening to my other guy, um G. Gorn Liddy, uh back in eighty five I am old, back in eighty five.
He owns all the gold now, yeah.
Yes, sir.
And uh I went and met him in uh uh New Orleans at uh Superdome.
Um but I I listened to you guys you ri religiously, and they they just don't like it.
They go like, okay, from the start, you listen to me, you should be listening to all the hip hop, they're all that crappy music that's out there.
I said, No, you listen to the the gas who's telling you what to do.
Okay, okay, I guess so you you listen to me, they give you grief for listening to you defend me.
They don't listen to me.
No, no, they have no choice because I have the say so over.
Oh, they do listen to me while you have me on there at work.
Correct.
Oh, okay.
So they have their preconceived notions that I'm a rotten SOB, and you've defended me against against being a rotten SOB, but something happened today that they said, how can you listen to that?
How can you say you support that?
And it was my colonoscopy line about Richard Wolfe.
Correct.
Well, let's repeat what I said so people will understand what it is you're calling about.
Richard Wolf is a sycophant author and journalist for MSNBC.
He has had uh unfettered access to Obama to write a couple of sycophantic boo.
Do your friends know what sycophanti means.
Yes.
You sure?
They say they do.
Well uh if they don't, there's another definition for it called kiss ass.
Yes.
Okay, that's relevant here.
Yes, sir.
Okay, so there are any number of ways to describe the kind of relationship that this supposed objective journalist has with Obama.
I thought that a very articulate and uh polite in uh adult conversation way of expressing my opinion of the kiss-ass attitude that Wolf has with Obama is to say that if Obama ever had a colonoscopy, they would find Wolf's head there.
Yes.
That is that is sheer broadcast talent.
That is communication talent one on one.
I mean, that is above there's nobody can have any doubt about what I mean.
I understand.
Yet your f your co-workers were profoundly offended by that, right?
Yes, and I also say remember they personified God's son.
If he's got his mind on loan from God, you always why do you always persecute him?
He must be telling the truth.
Well think about it.
Well, talent on loan from God.
Do you do your friends think that I'm saying I am God when I say that?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Talent on loan from God means I'm simply thanking God for his blessings upon me.
Understand.
And that it's temporary.
My talents on loan.
When I die, so goes the talent.
There is no other with it.
I'm me.
There is no other me, just like there's no other you.
So it's simply thanking God.
When I say talent on loan from God.
I'm not saying my talent came from Gaia.
I'm not saying my talent came from Obama or from anybody in government.
Talent came from God.
Understand.
Also, I'm simply utilizing this talent in being descriptive about what kind of reporter Richard Wolf is.
Understand.
Now, they were why were they offended by this?
They don't like you.
Point blank.
Well, I know they don't like me, period.
Uh they just get a f they just get offended because you're on every time I'm here at work.
Yeah.
Did you laugh when you heard me say that?
Oh, yes.
Oh, and that bothered them even more.
You see, that's what really got him.
You laughed.
Oh, oh, yes.
You understood it.
You understood it.
You know why they really don't like it?
No, sir.
Because it's effective.
And because it is accurate and uh it it's uh pretty descriptive and so forth.
So they they come in with an anti-rush prejudice or bias, and that simply allows them to say that their bias and prejudice is justified.
Well, the truth does hurt.
It does.
So what would you have me?
You're you're calling to tell me this.
Are you asking me to tone it down?
Are you asking?
No, no, no, no.
Keep it keep it going because uh, you know, all you could do is push your issues on them, and um I might try to we might try to convert a couple of them.
You never know.
See, I was painting a word picture.
I could have been vulgar when I said that.
Understandably.
I could have really been vulgar.
I could have used street terminology, but I didn't.
I came up with a creative uh conversational way.
I mean everybody talks about colonoscopies all day long.
Everybody knows what happens with one.
Understandable.
And rather than find a polyp, you find a journalist's head.
Well, I mean, it it's it's possible.
Yes, sir.
And I'm also taking a.
Are they listening now?
Yes.
Even better.
And I'm also taking up for you also in school in our history.
We was looking up something, and I came across and I came across you because uh you was on one of my pages, and they was going, why do you listen to that guy?
And I explain why.
You want the truth.
