Time Text
Oh no, can't we can't we get Rene uh to to do the announcement?
I'd love I'd love it in that dark that dark monotone and now sitting in for Rush Limbaugh, Markstein.
Yes, Rush is away.
Rush will return Monday, but this is your undocumented anchor man uh sitting in, looking back at the president's speech.
Pass this jobs bill now.
Pass this jobs bill now, pass this bill now or the bill gets it.
President Obama is serious.
He's so serious that he's uh gave a speech.
Uh he's not serious enough to type up the jobs bill so there actually is a bill to pass.
Uh you just have to pass the bill now so you can find out what's in it.
That's the way it works in uh the United States in the twenty first century.
Pass this bill now so we can find out what's in it, and you may already have won.
If you call one eight hundred pass this jobs bill right now, before the President finishes speaking, you will not only get your free complimentary jobs bill, but we will throw in a new ronco vegematic, just said it and forget it.
Uh one eight hundred pass this jobs bill now.
Uh we'll be talking about that.
Uh I am living testament to the fact that the jobs bill is already working.
I got three hours of casual day labor today.
That's pretty good for uh an undocumented immigrant.
I'm uh grateful to it.
Uh there may be a job opening up.
Let's have a look at this.
There may be a job opening up at KARK, Channel 4 News in Arkansas.
The uh the weatherman's gig may be opening up there.
This is a headline from uh the New York Daily News.
Arkansas weatherman Brett Cummins found in hot tub with naked dead man wearing dog collar.
Don't you just hate it when that happens?
He was like the weatherman on Channel Four.
And he uh and he wakes up one morning in the hot tub with a dead guy wearing a boy uh a dog collar next to him.
So uh he is now on leave from his job at Weatherman uh as a weatherman at KARK in uh Little Rock, Arkansas.
Uh the uh station has said that Brett is not on the air as he is mourning the loss of his friend, presumably the uh the dead guy in the dog collar in the hot tub next to him.
So there may be a weatherman's job, so that may be yet another job saved or created.
More jobs being um saved or created after a fashion.
Uh yesterday Union longshore men closed a port in Longview, Washington.
They took the security guards hostage.
So this is an uh just right there, that's a great increase in the hostage uh taking industry in America.
They damaged rail cars uh and they dumped a shipment of grain.
All because not because, by the way, the owner of the terminal was using non union labor, but they were using a contractor whose workers belong to a rival union.
So it's not enough now uh that you use non union scabs.
You can you can use non union you can use unionized non scabs, but they're if they're not from uh the uh union that meets the approval of this other guy's union, they'll come in, they'll take the security guards hostage, they uh bust up the rail cars, and they'll dump a shipment of grain.
This is what uh Barack Obama means by a shovel ready project.
These guys took the shovel to the security guards, they took the shovel to the rail cars, they took the shovel to the shipment of grain uh and trashed the joint.
Uh it's gonna be an extremely I would predict this will be a very ugly and violent election season.
Uh Jimmy Hoffer Junior.
Uh you can make excuses for the line he was uh using about when he was I don't even know whether you can say it on the radio.
You can apparently say it when you're appearing next to the press I I don't even know.
Can you can you use the SOB phrase in full on on the radio, Mr. Snerdley?
SOB?
You can.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
Actually Rush used it just a couple of days.
Okay, let's uh let's take these sons of bitches out and give America back uh to an America where we belong.
That was the Jimmy Hoffer Junior thing.
Uh don't take these things lightly.
It's gonna be a uh very ugly and unattractive election season.
Because these guys are takers.
And they're exactly the same like the government goons on the streets of Athens who killed those three bank clerks, burned uh the uh set this bank alight.
Three bank clerks burned to death because the government workers demonstrating in defense of their government privileges would not let the emergency workers get to uh the bank and rescue these three bank clerks.
Uh don't underestimate the possibility of things like that happening here.
These guys are serious.
They're takers.
They're takers from the productive class.
It's not hard to figure out why the American economy is where it is, is there's too many takers.
Uh and and the productive class is groaning under the weight of the government class and the dependency class, and it's being crushed by it.
And so when President passes Jobs uh stands up and offers a few gimmicks and just uh repeats pass this jobs bill uh endlessly in front of you, and he expects to be taken seriously.
Sorry, it's not enough.
It's not enough.
You took a trillion nobody has ever done this before, by the way.
Uh just just to just to put this uh business in perspective.
Uh the entire Greek uh government deficit, uh I believe is about thirty-five billion dollars.
Uh in other words, that's a drop in the ocean.
That's not even one program.
That wouldn't be enough to staff one branch office uh of uh the federal bureaucracy that Barack Obama is planning on setting up under his American jobs act.
These sums of money, this is like a half a trillion dollars worth uh uh of nothing.
He took it last time around it was a trillion dollars worth of nothing, nothing.
So we're supposed to be encouraged now that he's only he's shrunk it by half.
It's just half a trillion dollars worth of nothing.
We're gonna be talking about that because uh this is the end of the week on the Rush Limbaugh Show, and you know what that means.
Live from New York City, it's open line Friday.
Yeah, I think Renee should do that too.
I mean he should do live from New York, it's open line for day.
1 800 282, 2882.
Don't forget, the way it works is lack of this.
So from Monday to Thursday, the show is under the tight control of a highly trained broadcast specialist.
But we couldn't get one of those today.
We could only get some undocumented immigrant, so there's no highly trained broadcast specialist in sight.
All you have to do is call 1800-282-2882, and you can create or save the content of this show.
1800, 282, 2882.
Whatever you want to talk about, if you want to talk about President Jobs Bill, uh, we can talk about that.
Uh we can talk about the 911 anniversary, we can talk about anything else uh that happens to be on your mind.
Now I often, when I was here uh I think it was the week before last, or maybe it was an uh an early occasion.
I uh I often mention the uh the the little rustic border posts around here.
They're basically just in the middle of the woods, and uh and they used to be just like huts, and they're still huts on the Canadian side.
On the Canadian side, Her Majesty the Queen makes do with a little one-room hut.
Uh on the US side, the huts are all being replaced by spectacular new buildings.
This is a border post on the uh St. Croix River.
I don't know whether you said like that actually in Maine.
I I should get a maniac to call in and uh and confirm the pronunciation there.
But that's the border between uh Maine and New Brunswick.
Uh Forest City, Maine and Forest City, New Brunswick are two adjoining communities.
They have a ri by the way, uh Forest City, Maine and Forest City, New Brunswick are both heavy on the forest and light on the city.
Uh combined, the Forest City, Maine and Forest City, New Brunswick have a year-round population of about fifteen people.
Okay?
I don't know how it works.
Maybe there's eight people on the main side, seven people on uh the New Brunswick side.
Uh they used to walk over the bridge.
Because like it's where it's like if you if you live in a uh community uh where uh there's fifteen people uh and there's only seven people on your side of the border and eight on the other side, you can get a long winters, you can get pretty sick of those seven people, and you might want to walk across the bridge and meet some of the eight people on the other side of the bridge.
And that's what they used to do on Forest City, New Brunswick, Forest City, Maine.
Uh and uh fifteen people.
There's a border crossing which sees uh roughly six cars a day.
Six cars a day.
Okay, so we're talking like one room hut territory, six cars a day.
That's one car every four hours.
One car is going through the border every four hours.
Uh so naturally the Department of Homeland Security decides that the one room hut will no longer do, and they're going to build a sixteen million dollar border crossing facility.
This is the problem.
This is the problem with American government.
It is literally lost all sense of proportion.
Uh Forest City, Maine, Forest City, New Brunswick, combined population, fifteen people.
Uh so a border crossing that serves, in essence, fifteen people, uh, is going to have a sixteen million dollar facility built.
That's a million dollars per person.
And actually, given the fact that half those people are Canadian and shouldn't really be the responsibility of the United States government, that's actually about two million people per US citizen involved in this.
This is a border crossing in the middle of nowhere, sixteen million dollars.
Sixteen million dollars.
The lesson that we need to learn, and this was when I was here last time, Mark Belling uh was interviewing me about my new book.
My big point about this was the urgency.
Stop it with the sixteen million dollars.
Just stop it.
There's no need for it.
There is no justification for spending sixteen million dollars on a new facility for a border crossing in the middle of the woods uh that has six cars a day.
If you can't do that for less than sixteen million dollars, you shouldn't be in government.
You should be out of the government business.
You should be you should be in Vegas with a bevy of hookers, uh uh taking all the crack you can afford and doing that because you've have depar you have lost all contact with reality.
All contact with reality.
And that is the problem with federal government today.
And the fact that we have just seen, we we watched all through July, these tense negotiations, people shuttling back and forth, all Wolf Blitzer standing there uh solemnly crossing to people standing on the steps of the Capitol.
How are the negotiations going?
Have we had the smoke rings up uh to to say that the College of Congressional Cardinals has managed to agree an increase in the debt?
They got seven billion dollars of savings in fiscal year twenty twelve, and they all congratulate themselves.
And then President passed this bill, stands up in the well of Congress and announces that he's just going to increase the budget for federal year twenty twelve by half a trillion dollars, just like that.
Hey, don't worry, we spend a month negotiating savings of seven billion dollars, but I've just off the top of my teleprompted head have just added half a trillion dollars to it.
There is no money for this.
It's not just that there's no bill, but there's no money.
And there's nobody who wants to lend us another tr half a trillion dollars.
70% uh of the debt that has been issued by the government of the United States this year has been bought by the Federal Reserve.
There's no money, there's nobody anywhere on the planet who wants to uh who wants to continue bankrolling this level of government.
Maybe if you know a space alien out on planet Zongo, the Warren Buffett, if we can just find the Warren Buffett of Planet Zongo, eight galaxies away, who's ashamed because on Planet Zongo the taxes are so low that he feels he'd really like to contribute more to big government, but the taxes on Planet Zongo in a distant galaxy are so low.
And if that space alien Warren Buffett is willing to write the check for this half trillion dollar jobs bill, then maybe, maybe, maybe uh there's someone else who'll still lend us the money.
But right now, there is no bill.
There is no money.
What we witnessed last night was a cynical and insulting and pathetic exercise in the most pointless kind of political theater.
And God bless the Republican Party for uh disrespecting it by uh giggling and tittering and chuckling and guffoing and all the other things that Dana Milbank complained about in the Washington Post today.
Because it isn't serious, it wasn't serious, and the fact that it was uh taking place in Congress uh w was a huge joke uh not on Barack Obama and not on the legislators, but on you, the American people.
There's no bill, there's no money, this was a charade.
Uh Mark Stein in for Rush, we're gonna talk about that with uh one of America's uh congressmen, uh Congressman uh Louis Gomet will uh join us at the bottom of the hour.
Lots more of that, plus your calls uh one eight hundred-282-2882 on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
That's what's that, Lou Rolls?
Um pass this jobs now pass this jobs bill now.
That's that's music for Renee.
Pass this jobs bill now.
Yeah, he was he's the been the kind of Lou rolls of the show so far.
Uh Mark sighted for Rush one eight hundred two eight uh two two eight eight.
You forgot the number there, getting so into the uh one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two pass this jobs bill now.
If you call before the bottom of the hour, we will uh send you not just a free jobs bill, but also a complimentary sham wow with a retail value of half a trillion dollars.
If you call before the bottom of the hour and pass this jobs bill now.
Yeah, we'll double we will double your order.
We're not gonna give you just uh Mr. Snardley makes a point.
We don't we're not we're not stingy here.
You call before the bottom of the hour.
We will not only send you one jobs bill, we will send you two jobs bills.
The second jobs bill, you you pay you pay for shipping, you pay the additional shipping, but otherwise the second jobs bill is absolutely free.
one eight hundred pass this jobs bill now.
Let us go to uh Will in Amanda, Ohio.
Will, you're live on the Russian Limborough show.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, thanks, Mark.
You gotta help me out here.
All over the national news I'm hearing about a uh an un it's get it out.
Spit it out.
That's a unconfirmed credible threat.
Right.
Well, isn't it either a credible threat or not?
What's an unconfirmed credible threat?
No, that's one stage.
That's one stage up from an incredible threat.
Uh an uh an unconfirmed credible.
Yeah, it's an entirely separate bureaucracy.
Uh so it's an it's an entirely if you've got an incredible threat, that's just dealt with by the Department of Paperwork in Guam and it's sloughed off and nothing flat.
But if you've got a unconfirmed credible threat, it rises to the level of an unconfirmed credible threat.
Uh that goes to the Department of Unconfirmed Credible Threats in uh in Pocatella.
Yeah, it was good something like that.
I could even accept confirmed credible threat, I guess.
No, no, no, no.
No, confirmed confirmed credible threat goes to the Department of Head for the Hills at that new sixteen million dollar border station up uh in Forest City, Maine.
Uh but but you but you're you're you're right about this.
I mean, Will, I don't know where are you changing your weekend plans because of this unconfirmed credible threat?
No, no, I think I'll just uh go about my business.
Well, more fool you, because uh as I believe the uh the FBI said, this unconfirmed credible threat is about a possible terrorist attack either in uh New York City or Washington, DC, or possibly somewhere else in the United States or alternatively some other part of the planet uh that may involve an explosion uh or a shooting or a plane or an automobile or some other means of of terrorist attack.
So if you can't act on that specific information, Will, that level of specific credible information, you need to change your weekend plans.
Oh, I think I'll just sit in the bathroom for a while then.
Hey Will Do you know something?
I I really uh Will's got a great voice.
He's he's not as uh when when uh Renee was doing that uh pass this jobs bill now, you are making a fool of yourself.
I would love to have Renee, you are making a fool of yourself.
I would love to be able to r uh introduce Renee to Will.
I will just sit in the bathroom.
You are making a fool of yourself.
You should you should find you r you and Renee and another guy should uh find uh uh uh should tour as the three bases.
Okay, with the three tenors.
Nobody wants to hear those squeaky voice guys.
You and Renee and find some other fella.
I can't do it.
You're like uh you're like a couple of octaves lower than me.
And uh and find some guy and you go uh you'll never find another love like mine.
It's uh that's great.
Have a uh have a great weekend, Will, and don't let the unconfirmed incredible threat or whatever it is uh uh get to you too much.
The reality is of this uh uh nine eleven business, by the way.
Um I take I take terrorism seriously, uh, Mr. Snerdley, and whenever they have one of these pandy bombers uh comes along, we we we were doing the show, that was just uh I think just before Christmas, uh a couple of years back when the panty bomber came along and uh attempted to self-detonate over Detroit.
And what happened?
It was something like it was ridiculous.
It was like he got on the plane because it was like this unconfirmed credible threat.
He wasn't on Janet Incompetano explained afterwards that he wasn't actually on the no fly list.
He was like on the standby list for the no fly list.
So he wasn't actually on the proper no fly list.
And so he was allowed to get on the plane.
And the only reason he didn't uh self-detonate over Detroit is because I think it was some Dutch what was it?
It was very bizarre, like a Dutch documentary maker, uh who who actually clobbered the guy to the ground.
So it was a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, I believe.
So I I was in favor of replacing Federal Marshals with Dutch documentary makers.
I mean that would be now if if he was thinking outside the box, that's the kind of jobs program that uh President Obama would be uh would be proposing.
He'd have uh Dutch document he'd be saying we're gonna increase the immigration uh fast track Dutch documentary uh makers onto every plane uh and that is uh the way to uh uh guarantee American security.
But that guy he wasn't formally on the no fly list.
It was a bit like this uh incredible unconfirmed confirmed uncredible uh threat he was on the standby list for the no fly list and that is why Janet and Compatano was able to tell us with great assurance that the system works great to be with you.
America's anchor man is away and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in discussing the president's speech pass this jobs bill now.
Pass this jobs bill now.
Call 1-800-PASS-THIS-JOBS-BILL-NOW, and when you buy two jobs bills, we will give you the third completely free because we can sell factory direct because we've eliminated the factory.
No, no, no, wait.
That's not right.
Anyway, 1-800-PASS-THIS-JOBS-BILL.
We have on the line Louis Gomat, who is the congressman for the first district in Texas.
And how many congressional districts do you have in Texas?
32 now.
We're adding four.
That is pretty impressive.
I'm in a state that is just two, the state of New Hampshire.
Well, now currently I'm in a state of confusion after hearing the president's speech.
And I've got to say, Mark, you'll never find a president like mine.
Anyway.
You're going to be the third guy in the three bases, Will and Renee.
We've got our fed guys.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
We're just enjoying the show.
But, you know, he rode the Darth Vader buses in middle America and did his impression of the evil emperor.
He's saying, you know, we need class warfare.
And good.
Feel the hatred go through your veins.
Yes.
You know, covet.
Be jealous.
Hate people who have what you don't.
And now we're getting the use the force, pass the bill now.
You know, that's true may the bill be with too much light but I'm telling you Mark it was so frustrating but this was the first time I've ever been in the direct line of sight of the president as he looked through his left teleprompter and uh so you know he's not looking at me because he reads the teleprompter and and I gotta say he's the most gifted reader I've ever seen in my life.
But he could be doing Shakespeare he could be doing a eulogy he could be doing the the most whimsical limerick but he would still be doing the exact same style.
It's a head dance three to five seconds on either side but when you look at what he said and you you know we were sitting there listening apparently you were but uh I I prefer to just read it.
I would rather just had a plan that we could dive into but there was no plan.
And let me tell you where I was coming from two years ago when he demanded to come speak to a joint session even though he has to be invited.
That's a little rude to demand to be invited.
But anyway he kept saying this bill, my bill, this plan, my plan and if you misrepresent my bill I'm gonna call you out.
Well two weeks later Kathleen Sibelius was up on the hill and I said look I don't want to be called out.
I don't want to misrepresent the president's plan.
But I would like to know where do I get a copy of the president's plan, the president's actual bill so I don't misrepresent it.
Her exact words mark were I think he was talking about a set of principles.
The man didn't have a plan he didn't have a bill he just had rhetoric and that once again is what I felt like we got last night.
He didn't have a plan he can't give us anything in writing but pass this bill now and teachers will go back to work immediately and then the worst atrocity was he said everything in this bill is paid for everything and then he said here's how we're gonna pay for it.
You know you guys are going to come up with a trillion and a half in cuts by Christmas heck just add another half trillion.
You know there's our cuts.
There's the plan.
And he said not only that but a week from Monday I'm gonna give you a deficit plan, and I can already tell you.
I know what it's gonna say.
It's well, uh now you're gonna do two trillion cuts by Christmas, just add another half trillion.
I mean, it's like uh uh uh cousin Eddie telling Clark Oswald uh yeah uh you got money, just get yourself something real nice for me, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh and it's just absurd.
Well what's uh not really funny about this is when you think of the way the political conversation has gone over the last few months.
It's been about spending.
It's been about the understanding that we're living beyond our means.
Uh and that we're burst not just uh we we we've gone beyond not just America's ability to fund this scale of government, but actually we're getting to the stage where we're going beyond the planet's ability to fund this scale of spending in Washington, and yet he just airily comes along and uh after the charade of negotiating this uh highly minimal token cuts for fiscal year twenty twelve.
Oh wait, he just adds another half trillion.
There were cuts.
Well, I think there were sp there were supposed to be seven billion dollars of cuts for twenty twelve.
I they were just too small, I didn't see them.
Okay, thank you.
No, no, I think that's where that's that's what you fellas at the Washington level call a rounding era, seven billion dollars.
You know.
Even in Greece it goes somewhere, but uh but in Washington it's just a rounding era.
Yeah, it's a rounding error.
But you know, if if this weren't so serious, if we weren't talking about the future of generations to come having or not having the liberties and the opportunities we have, you know, this this would be a tremendous comedy routine, but this is so serious and it acts like it's just a a political game, excuse me.
We're talking about uncontrolled spending.
And and then he comes in, pass this right away, and all the teachers will go back to work.
You know what, Mark?
The teachers would only go back to work if we passed a bill that says all of the billions coming into Washington uh for the Department of Education.
The Department of Education is no more all the the money goes to the school districts directly, we won't take a cut out.
Now you got money to pay all the teachers.
Just get rid of the Department of Education.
That's the kind of bill we should be passing.
Well, I I hope you do, because I think I think that's what we need to get serious about.
I mean, I think it's very easy when we talk about entitlements.
I think that's the advantage they have is that every time you bill bring up entitlements, it uh the minute the conversation becomes let's uh increase the r the uh age of eligibility from sixty-five to sixty-seven in the year twenty fifty.
Uh whereas when you're talking about the Department of Education, uh you could cut that uh you could cut that budget now and you could uh and you could drive a stake through that department in in the Well and look at the Department of Energy.
You know, Carter created both of those departments.
The Department of Energy's stated goal is to reduce reliance on or dependence on foreign energy sources.
And every year they've existed, they have gotten farther away from that goal.
You know, in any other line of of business, you'd have to eliminate that department.
They get further from their goal every year.
Get rid of them.
They're worthless.
And and let's get serious about producing our own oil, our own gas, our own coal, make it clean.
We care about the air and water, but for heaven's sake, you can't you don't find anybody caring about the environment enough, at least people to do anything, unless they are employed and the economy is moving forward.
Right.
That's what we got to get back to.
And and that means real jobs, not uh uh not not green jobs where you have some crony who comes and visits you in the White House twenty times and uh uh and and and you go and trumpet uh this fantastic business he's created uh and it turns out to basically uh be some environmentally friendly version of uh Enron or whatever.
It's not going anywhere.
I'll tell you one of the maybe the scariest thing he said is I want government working side by side with business.
That is not the government's role unless you're in a third world country or Venezuela or some, you know, uh uh dictatorship.
But because otherwise business doesn't want the government as a partner.
It needs it as a referee.
Keep the leaven fi level playing field, make sure everybody's playing fair and get out of the way.
And and this president wants them to be your partners.
They don't need partners.
That's why money's sitting on the sidelines right now.
No, and you're absolutely right that that is actually the hallmark of of third world basket cases.
That when when they say government's your partner, that means you're in somewhere like uh Mozambique where you where you've got to buy five hundred permits and and and bribe uh a thousand officials before you can go to work in the head.
Yeah, you're absolutely you're absolutely right on that.
Did you take him seriously when he said talked about rolling back uh f or considering or looking into rolling back five hundred regulations?
Uh he has added so many regulations in the last month.
Five hundred just would be a drop in the bucket.
Uh you know, I don't know if you're aware, but the EPA's declared war on Texas.
Uh Texas has been cleaning up its air uh maybe more than any other state every year for the last uh decade or so.
But this president decides, gee, Texas with all these jobs that have been created, things going well, we gotta stop them.
So they've sicked the EPA on us.
Uh power plants are gonna have to shut down in January because of brand new regulations they've imposed.
And it makes political sense because why would he want to run and have Texas uh next year and have Texas held up as an example of how you create jobs?
Uh it would be far better to have rolling blackouts, thousands and thousands laid off because of what the EPA's done.
And you say, look at Texas, you know, they're in bad shape.
Well, yeah, the government declared war on the people of Texas and and them maintaining jobs, having electricity.
And it it again, we don't need a partner with business.
We need a referee.
And for this guy to talk about, you know, being fair uh is really outrageous because it's nothing but chrony capitalism.
You know, you got in hoff up not him, I'll get good senator, but uh you got GE's head up there, right in the box.
And I mean the guy sending jobs around the world.
So you won't taxes.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you yeah, you weren't impressed by uh then I take it the Warren the umpteenth Warren Buffett reference, which see who seems to be the only uh businessman that uh the president knows apart from his own.
Well, and it's easier to make massive profits when you owe the government four billion dollars and you don't pay it.
I I tell you this speech last night reminded me, and I don't know if you're uh uh heard Steve Martin back in his early days, but he had that scene where he said, Hey, I'm gonna write a book, how to have ten million dollars and not pay taxes.
Uh well, okay, I'll go ahead and tell you what the book says.
Step one.
First you get yourself a million dollars, and then step two, just don't pay taxes.
I mean, that's what this guy's saying last night.
It's hard to take a speech like this seriously when you know that there is no substance.
He has no plan really behind it to back it up.
No, thank thank you for your call, Congressman.
And I can't wait.
I think we I think we need to get Steve Martin to deliver a joint address to Congress right now.
Well, if I need the teleprompter, it'd be a lot more entertaining.
That's true.
H here's how we're gonna create half a million new jobs uh and save you a trillion dollars in federal deficit.
First you create uh half a million new jobs, and then step two, you save a trillion dollars.
There's the uh president's plan.
Uh Louis Gomert of the uh first congressional district in Texas.
Uh thanks for being on the show.
Mark Stein in Farush, 1800-282-2882.
Mark Stein in Farush.
Pass this jobs bill now.
Pass this jobs bill now, call 1 800 pass this jobs bill, and when you buy two jobs bills, we'll send you entirely free a complimentary Chevy Vault, retail value of uh eight dollars and seventy-three cents.
That's completely free.
When you call 1800 pass this jobs bill, we will send you not one but two jobs bills entirely free.
You know, when Congressman Gomot was uh talking about reminding him of Steve Martin, it reminded me of uh years ago, John Lennon and b and Paul McCartney uh were asked what they do when they sit down and write a song.
And they responded that there are always two things we do when we sit down and write a song.
First we sit down, then we write a song.
And that's basically what Barack Obama's uh doing.
There are always two things he does uh when he sits down to pass a jobs bill.
Uh first he sits down and then he says pass this jobs bill.
It works every time.
Let us go.
Yeah, that's right.
And uh offer offer not valid in the People's Republic of China, by the way.
If you're offer if you're thinking of uh ordering this jobs bill because you've got a big factory in Shanghai, and you'd like to take advantage of that tax credit by hiring another worker.
This offer, this offer, this pass this jobs bill offer by calling one eight hundred pass this jobs bill and getting the free complimentary Chevy Vault is not valid in the People's Republic of China.
Uh let us go to Dale in Ventura, California.
Dale, thank you for waiting.
You're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hey, Martin, nice to talk to you again.
I gotta correct you on um Rene, though.
The temper of his voice wasn't a monotone.
Sounded more like a drone.
Oh right.
An unmanned drone.
Yes.
Um what I called about is this morning there was a phoning poll to Good Day LA.
LA heavily Democrat, heavily uh winter Obama really big, lots of minorities.
And the question asked was do you think that Barack Obama's speech was effective?
Sixty-five percent said no.
Wow.
So I think he's in a little bit more trouble than he even thinks he is.
So in other words, not even, although the guy in the Washington Post, Dana Milbank calls it one of the most impassioned speeches the President has ever given.
It left sixty-five percent of what was this show, Good Day LA?
Good day LA.
Good day LA, sixty-five percent said uh the speech was entirely ineffective.
So even uh Angelinos, even a heavily democratic uh voting block has got no interest uh in in listening to another telepromped pile of sludge from the President of the United States.
Exactly.
Very heavily democrat, and it encompasses part of Maxine's water waters areas.
So the people out there aren't buying it.
No, well Maxine Waters isn't buying this stuff uh anymore.
Uh and and I think and I think with good reason too.
Uh thanks thanks for your call, uh Dale.
Th there is no there is no there uh in a speech like this.
The President has a uh a plan.
Uh Rush is right about this, by the way, that it's not that he's incompetent, but that he is a particular view of what it is that uh he wants to accomplish in his term of office.
And he wants to establish as the new baseline uh uh a level of federal spending of about twenty-five per cent of GDP, which means this country is gonna go from the brokest nation in history to the most bankrupt nation in in history, because there's simply no way uh you're ever going to be able to pay for that.
And that's why what's important here is none of these stupid nickel and dime proposals.
What's important is the price tag, this this big half trillion dollar price tag.
Because what he's doing there is he's ooming up the baseline.
He's saying he's saying, Here we go, here we go.
You thought you thought the Republicans had won something.
You thought the Conservatives had clawed a little bit of a seven billion dollars in savings back in the course of the summer.
Now I just breeze in for twenty minutes and say, Hey, congratulations with that seven uh billion dollars of savings.
Uh I'm just gonna come in and oomph it up by another half a trillion dollars, just like that.
So it's seven steps forward uh and then whatever uh whatever what are we talking about?
Five thousand steps back.
Seven steps forward, five thousand steps back.
That's what's important to him.
Establishing twenty-five percent of GDP as the new baseline for federal spending is the new size of Washington scale government.
1-800-282-2882, open line Friday on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Lots more still to come.
Mark Stein in Farush.
You know, about an hour ago I uh asked rhetorically what kind of company would hire an employee just because they're gonna get a tax credit for hiring him.
And uh John emailed from California to say uh the answer to that question is Sylendra.
And he's absolutely right.
Uh Solendra hired people because he was getting a tax uh cut to do so to uh to create all these green jobs, and now they've just sent the uh FBI agents in to raid the Solendra factory.
So right there, that's even more green jobs.
We're not just creating green jobs.
We're creating green jobs for green FBI agencies raiding green jobs factories.
That's part of the exciting transformation of the economy that uh President Obama is bringing about by his investment in green jobs.
We're not just investing in green jobs, we're investing in green federal agents uh to re to raid green jobs uh factories.
Uh this is uh stimulating the economy.
