Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Okay, but just so you know, I haven't gotten it.
It hasn't shown up.
I haven't received it.
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain, and a special welcome to all of you welfare recipients.
Just getting out of bed.
Time to get out of the bedroom slippers and get moving.
Get cracking.
We're here to help Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, our telephone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Congratulations to Herman Cain and the 999 plan.
Herman Cain, the big surprise winner of the Florida straw poll on Saturday.
Folks, do you realize?
I mean, Herman Kane won big.
And think about this.
We could be on the brink of an historic election.
Think about this.
Let's say that Herman Cain goes all the way.
Wins the Republican presidential nomination.
By the way, Tea Party people, what did you have any idea how much they hated women voting for Hermann Kane like this?
I thought last week they hated blacks.
This week they were racists.
This week they're sexists.
At any rate, Herman Cain goes on to win the Republican presidential nomination, and then goes on to be elected president.
Herman Cain could be our first authentically black president.
Stop and think about that.
It's great to be back, folks.
I must admit to you, though, late, late night, actually early morning night, uh had a rocking good time in Indianapolis in town for the uh for the Steelers Colts.
And basically uh got betwixt and between the sheets about five o'clock this morning for uh for a couple hours.
There's Rachel in there rolling her eyes.
Now these are always fun shows uh with with that little sleep.
If the uh if the voice holds up, you never know.
Uh we get uh we get giddy and genuinely literally more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Speaking of the Republican primaries, Larry Flint, I see is offering uh up to one million dollars for details of sex with Rick Perry.
Have you heard that?
This is uh you know what I'd like to What, you don't you mean you if you had details you wouldn't pass them on?
No, no, no, no.
Details of yeah, he's if if well if you're a woman, if you've had sex with Perry, yeah, he's willing to pay you.
But if you've also got if you've got uh details of somebody else having sex with Perry, they can follow up.
That's what he's looking at I want to make a counteroffer.
Ladies and gentlemen, I today would like to offer up to one million dollars for any details of sex with Warren Buffett's secretary.
But Rush, but Rush, but she's not a public figure like Rick Perry if the hell she's not.
She's now the most influential woman in America.
Warren Buffett's secretary and her tax rate.
Anyway, uh the uh I'll tell you, folks, the president of the United States, with some of the things that he has been saying to the uh black congressional Caucasians in the last couple three days.
I it it is we're in fact we are we are going to have in this hour a special edition of the official Obama criticizer.
Uh Mr. Snerdley, bolsteredly official Obama criticized, will be along in this hour uh to really get to the bottom of uh of all this.
But during during his speech Before the uh black congressional Caucasians.
Obama had a number of slips of the tongue out there.
He's going through his usual clap trap about Warren Buffett paying less taxes than his secretary.
And he went off teleprompter, we think, and uh said that a billionaire shouldn't pay less taxes than a Jew.
And then he corrected himself and said, No, I mean I didn't mean Jew, I mean janitor.
And no wonder, just think about this.
What was in his mind when he actually he actually said that?
So what's what's in his mind?
A billionaire shouldn't pay less in taxes than a Jew.
And he corrected himself very quickly, said he's meant janitor.
So he was confusing Jew with janitor.
And he admits that.
And just think how outraged the Reverend's Wright and Farrakhan would be if they heard Obama say that Jews were paying too much in taxes.
Like he thinks the janitors probably are.
And then during his same speech to the black congressional Caucasian, he said, I listened to some of y'all.
Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying.
You could tell he was trying to sound um down for the struggle.
He was dropping the G's.
But can you imagine?
Can you imagine if a white politician spoke to a black audience in that manner?
Hillary did, I ain't no way Todd.
Hillary Clinton tried it.
But it was so pathetic.
I was it was it was embarrassingly pathetic.
I think people actually felt sorry for Hillary that she couldn't do a better impression than that.
But if if a if a white politician talked to a black audience the way Obama did, why they'd be tarring and feather that politician as a racist, if not worse.
Of course, I can't, I can't imagine a white president speaking to the Congressional White Caucus anyway, so it wouldn't happen.
I can't imagine there even being something, the Congressional White Caucus or the Congressional Caucasian Caucus.
But give it 50 years.
There might need to be one.
The way the demographics are going.
Okay, so I had to leave last Thursday, and it was nothing secretive.
A lot of people got worried when I said I had something to do on Friday that could only be done during the uh time the program was by the way, thanks very much to uh Mark Stein for sitting in on Friday.
And if you have you may have just noticed it today or over the weekend, we have totally revamped Rushlimbaugh.com, the uh the website, and I will give you the details and explain that at some point during the program today.
Anyway, I had to fly out to the left coast.
And when I arrived, it was about the time the debate was starting, and I was unable to see or hear the first 45 minutes live.
But maybe the first minute, maybe actually maybe the whole thing, the first hour and a half or something like that.
And at some point during the debate, my email inbox started going nuts, and I started getting text messages out to Wazoo, and it was that Gary Johnson had uh had used my line.
And I had people from the Huffing and Puffington Post calling me, people from the political calling or emailing, nobody calls me.
They emailed me.
Well, what's your reaction to this?
And I I had not heard it.
I didn't, I didn't know what this was all about.
Then I did hear it.
And I thought, well, this isn't.
I mean, if you're gonna steal somebody's line, you know, make it a Jewish janitor somewhere in some small state where nobody has ever heard the line used.
Well, you think I'm on a thin ice with Jewish janitor?
Wait a little, wait a wait a wait a lay wait till they hear the official Obama criticizer.
Yeah, that's coming up in this hour.
Anyway, here's Gary Johnson, the uh former Republican governor of New Mexico, and this was what he said during the debate.
And yeah, I'm gonna tell you what I thought of the debate.
The overview, it was pathetic.
It was Herman Cain and Santorum were fabulous.
The rest of it was pathetic.
It was uh it was embarrassingly pathetic, given all of the meat, given all the opportunities to rip in to the administration, and contrast ourselves with what's going on, not just in the in the country but in the world.
I I I thought it was a step backward in uh any number of ways.
Anyway, we'll get to all that as the program unfolds.
Here is Gary Johnson.
My uh next door neighbors, two dogs have created more shovel ready jobs than this current administration.
And the applause and the laughter went on and on and on and on and on.
It was the line of the night.
Now that was Thursday night on uh that I guess it's the same day.
That that same day, earlier in the day, at a busy broadcast day on this program, this is what I said.
My dogs have created more shovel ready work than Obama has.
Just this week alone.
The new puppy, honest, more shovel ready work for me this week than Obama has created all two and a half years ago.
And Gary Johnson play it again, just so we get the timeline right.
My uh next door neighbors, two dogs have created more shovel ready jobs than this current administration.
So even when I am away, I am in the news.
Even when I am away, uh determine the news.
So the big news is that Gary Johnson lives next door to me.
No, because I don't live in New Mexico and he doesn't live in Florida anyway.
The media went nuts over this.
Did Governor Johnson steal a joke from Rush Limbaugh during last night's debate?
Rush Limbaugh used a strikingly similar line.
The scoop on the poop joke is that Rush Limbaugh made the crack first.
He ripped off from Rush Limbaugh.
It was a great line when Rush Limbaugh said it that morning.
Rush Limbaugh said that first.
After the debate, Gary Johnson said that uh he he heard it on a New Mexico radio show, or that the host of a New Mexico radio show gave it to him.
I hope that's not why I uh gained national attention is because of that.
But if if that ends up to be the case, fine.
No, I didn't hear it from Rush Limbaugh.
I heard it from my buddy Jim Villeneuve radio talk show host in Albuquerque, texted me about eight one-liners that maybe I could use.
So it was one of those things where Wow, that was really funny.
So is there copyright infringement then on Rush Limbaugh saying it?
I don't know.
I didn't hear it from Rush Limbaugh.
Maybe he did.
No, there's no copyright infringement.
People just think like I say, I mean, it it's nobody stole Johnny Carson jokes.
Because everybody heard the joke.
Well, you know, this is what I had I can't tell you, Sturdley.
I the the Huffing and Puffington Post.
I had uh uh Brian Maloney, the radio equalizer.
I had I had uh somebody from from the politico, and and they thought that I'd be outraged.
You know, when I wrote back no big deal.
It happens every day.
It happens multiple times a day, and it's been happening for 23 years.
And I the last thing I do is get upset over stuff being swiped.
I mean, it's it it it's it's it happens too frequently, and it's you know, it's almost impossible for it not to happen.
There's so much stuff being said out there.
It's almost impossible.
Um it's very difficult for any other conservative out there to be considered original with me on the scene.
So I cut all these people slack.
I steal stuff from me all the time, and uh that it's um do you think it's uh sincere form of flattery?
I don't even look at it that way.
It's something that can't be avoided.
Um it's just you go out there and you speak for 15 hours a week.
And you're sucking up a lot of oxygen, a lot of opinion.
It's gonna be very tough for anybody else to be original.
And so anyway, that the drive-by's couldn't let go of this.
This was, I guess, uh, the next morning.
And this was on Scarborough Show on MSNBC.
This is from Rush Limbach.
My dogs have created more shovel ready work than Obama has just this week alone.
What?
Wait, wait, no, hold on.
I don't understand.
Stole it from Rush.
No, wait, wait, wait.
That was from this morning, right?
Yes, a rush went on to say last night.
I guess I've become show prep for the GOP debates now, too.
Wow.
Gary Johnson says somebody fed on the line, he didn't know where it got.
Talent on the loan from God.
That's so bad.
Yeah, it's not a good thing.
How can you plagiarize the line of the year?
From Rush.
Stole it from Rush.
Well, Rush has got a lot of great lines.
I'm just saying.
If you're a Republican, you steal from maybe like some obscure source.
You're still in Linmark.
That's exactly right.
Poor Gary Johnson.
He's got the line of the night, but it wasn't his.
And when everybody's talking about the line of the night, they're not talking about him delivering it.
They're talking about me delivering it.
Anyway, great to have you here, folks.
Great to be back.
Full week broadcast excellence.
And we'll come back and get started with all the rest of it right after this.
Tried to get a ticket on the Intercontinental Railroad over the weekend.
It's sold out.
You can't, did you know that you cannot get a seat on the Intercontinental Railroad?
Obama said that's one of the great things that America used to do.
Yeah, we built the Intercontinental Railroad.
I mean, tell you something.
You understand why that's not possible.
Or is it?
Maybe there is one we don't.
The tracks where they leave from New York or Boston, go across the Atlantic to uh to France.
He meant to say transcontinental.
He said intercontinental.
I don't know when the next Obama Town Hall is, but I have the question.
If any of you happen to know and happen to be planning on going to the next Obama tunnel, I got a question that you can ask him.
Mr. President, was it fair that Jewish janitors had to build the Intercontinental Railroad from the 57 states all the way to the country that speaks Austrian?
Was it fair that the Jewish janitors had to build it?
Is that not a sign of the systemic racism and bigotry that's always existed in this country?
Jewish janitors had to build the Intercontinental Railroad.
Great to have you back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity, executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
I was in Indiana, actually Indianapolis Saturday night, Sunday, for the Colt Steelers.
There's a story out of Franklin, Indiana.
In the business of selling sentiments, there's a card for everything from traditional occasions to unique needs.
Cards with sound, cards for holidays, cards for losing a tooth.
Now, Hallmark has unveiled layoff cards for the unemployed.
Hallmark recently rolled out a new line of layoff greeting cards.
Stores have a specific section for job loss and recession humor, offering words of support and encouragement.
With the unemployment rate at 9%, Hallmark says that customers called in the need.
One card says, don't think of it as losing your job.
Think of it as a timeout between stupid bosses.
Don't think of it as losing your job.
Think of it as a chance to run around the house in your bedroom slippers.
Yeah, I mean, that would be clever to give to somebody, said Linda Ralph of Martinsville, Indiana.
It would have to depend on the person or situation.
Getting a card like that, somebody carrying that, that's that's fabulous, said Michelle Crowthers Luchinski.
The crazy part to think about this is there's so many people laid off.
Stop and think about layoff cards.
The new Americana.
Courtesy Barack Hussein Obama.
Mmm.
Unemployment and layoff cards are now a big deal.
Um, ladies and gentlemen, Gallup.
I you know, I I see the opinion polls that the networks put out Obama's approval numbers.
I I don't think they're nearly as high as they're being reported.
This Gallup poll, Americans express historic negativity toward U.S. government.
Uh it's it's fascinating numbers.
Share them with you when we get back.
There's a town hall going on right now.
Obama's doing a uh uh uh town hall right now, Bill Russell.
So if any of you, I think this is an online town hall.
Any of you out there, here's the question, Mr. President.
Uh was it fair that Jewish janitors had to build an intercontinental railroad from the 57 states all the way to that country that speaks Austrian.
Although, it hasn't started yet.
It is going to start well, maybe it has.
Tough to tell.
But he's out in California, and it's a jobstown hall out there.
So there's the uh question.
Here are the highlights, these gallop numbers.
Forty-nine percent of Americans.
Folks, I have not seen numbers like this.
49% of Americans see government as an immediate threat to rights and freedoms.
81% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way the country is being governed.
69% say they have little or no confidence in the legislative branch.
57% have little or no confidence in the federal government to solve domestic problems.
53% have little or no confidence in the men and women who seek or hold elected office.
Americans believe on average the federal government wastes 51 cents of every tax dollar.
Forty-nine percent of Americans believe the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.
In 2003, it was 30%.
So in eight years, it's gone from 30% to 49%.
Now, I I don't I don't know how uh Obama can win with numbers like this.
I and there is a uh uh poll out from The Economist.
The Economist is a European magazine.
It's a f it's a favorite of the uh of the uh GOP establishment.
It's it's a favorite of the uh conservative intelligentsia.
And in this poll, Obama's approval is at 36%.
Random sample, 1,000 four adults asked to compare the 43rd and 44th presidents, 34%, said Obama has been worse than Bush.
Twenty-two percent said he was about the same, and overall in the Economist Ugov poll, Obama's approval is at 36%.
He's at 40 to 42 in some of the uh some of the other polls out there.
It's and and it's not improving.
And this is what was so frustrating about the uh Republican debate last Thursday night, but that is sort of ancient history, we'll comment on it a little bit later.
First, here is Obama Saturday night in Washington at the awards dinner uh for the uh congressional black caucus.
I know at times that gets folks discouraged.
I know.
I listen to some of y'all.
I understand that.
And nobody feels that burden more than I do.
Because I know how much we have invested in making sure that we're able to move this country forward.
You know, more than a lot of other folks in this country, we know about heart.
Oh, yeah.
The people in this room know about heart.
Hard.
And we don't give in to discouragement.
Peace is hard.
Peace is hard.
Sex isn't any good unless it's hard.
Peace is hard.
And now Obama says we know about hard.
And then he tells him to stop complaining.
Stop complaining and get on the march with him.
I don't have time to complain.
I'm gonna press on.
I expect all of you to run with me and press off.
Take off your bedroom slippers.
Put on your marching shoes.
Shake it off.
Stop complaining.
Stop grumbling.
Stop crying.
We are gonna press on.
We've got work to do.
CBC.
He is ticked off at these people.
Folks, he is ticked off at these people.
They're running around last week and the week before, and they're saying if uh if if uh President's skin color was anything other than what it is, we'd be marching.
But we don't want to give the Obama haters any added info or any added uh ammunition, so they're holding back.
Maxine Waters and others have made it plain they don't think he cares about African American unemployment.
So he goes out to the CBC meeting and he is ticked off.
Can you imagine any president telling a group of people to get out of your bedroom slippers and start marching?
This is community organizing, by the way.
This is what it is.
This is agitation, pure and simple.
Maxine Waters, not happy about the scene at the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday this morning on the early show on CBS.
Erica Hill talked to Maxine, said the president told the audience to stop complaining and to put your marching shoes on.
What was your reaction when he said stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying, Maxine?
He would never say that to the gay and lesbian community who really pushed him on don't ask, don't tell, or even in a speech to APAC, he would never say to the Jewish community, stop complaining about Israel.
So I don't know who he was talking to, because we're certainly not complaining.
We are working You are complaining, and he was talking to you, Maxine, and you know it.
And they all know it at the Congressional Black Caucus, CNN Newsroom this morning.
Suzanne Malvaux talked to the uh Reverend Zax of the Monochrome Coalition.
She said, Reverend uh Jackson, uh what do you think needs to happen to create more jobs for the African American group specifically, and then also uh well for the African American group, period, a 17% unemployment.
What do you think needs to be done out there, Reverend Jackson?
People on welfare on the car.
They don't have public transportation to where the jobs are, then they're resegregated and locked into poverty.
And so public transportation is a piece of this.
Some direct jobs, not just indirect jobs, I think, are from tax cuts.
So far, our policy has tended to favor those on the deck of the ship, but not those in the hull of the ship where the waters come in.
Many people lost their will to work, their will to vote.
They've been beaten down by poverty.
Well, who did that to you?
I I I don't know what all he said there.
I tried to keep track of it.
I try to keep up with it.
But remember here, I'm working on about two hours' sleep.
And uh that's what I was afraid of, even if I had a you know full six hours.
I doubt I could have kept up.
But anyway, he's complaining.
Uh I heard him talk about people of welfare can't own a car.
Well, what is that?
I think people on welfare have an average of 1.6 cars.
And a plasma TV.
We went through that the other day.
What does he mean they can't own a car?
Anyway, all of these complaints.
Reverend Jackson, who did this to you?
Who did this?
Liberalism did this, Reverend Jackson.
The Democrat Party wrote this script for you.
The Democrat Party.
That's who is the architect of the circumstances you're complaining about.
Here's uh back to President Obama Saturday night.
Go back to the um awards dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus.
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jute uh as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor.
Whoa, play that again.
That kind of went by there pretty quickly.
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jute uh as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor.
What was he gonna say after Jew?
It says here uh play that again.
Well, one more time.
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jute uh as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor.
As a Jew, what?
Didn't it sound like there was another word coming there?
Listen to it again, one more time, just to make sure.
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jute uh as a janitor, makes me a warrior for the working class, right?
I wear that with a badge of honor.
Right.
And now he's out there confusing Jews with janitors.
These are the people found on the Intercontinental Railroad.
Various uh various cars, and now here, by the way, here is that gaffe.
We used to have the best infrastructure in the world here in America.
We're the contrary of the belt beater, Intercontinental Railroad.
I mean, all the gaffes that this guy has come up, 57 states, Intercontinental Railroad.
I mean, the list is long.
Gotta take a brief time out.
We'll do it.
By the way, uh, folks, California Democrat Party among Cylindra's credits.
This remember, I've told you that that the Democrat Party and and and state and local union workers is a money laundering operation.
Because the money ends up back with the Democrat Party.
This is it.
Nailed this one.
I mean, this is this is a Washington Times out of the hundreds of out-of-work employees, vendors, investors, and other creditors in the bankruptcy of government-backed solar panel maker Sylindra, one name stands out, the California Democrat Party.
Why the California Democrat Party would be a creditor to a company that received more than a half billion dollars in federal loans isn't clear.
Even party officials say they're not sure.
Yeah.
Shazam, they don't know how this happened.
The Democrat Party is a creditor.
The Democrat Party is a creditor of Cylindra.
It's a money laundering racket, is what that was, as is much of what the Democrat Party is doing in other areas.
But we gotta take a timeout, now we'll get to that.
When we come back, the official Obama criticizer.
Stop complaining.
Press on.
Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes, shake it off, stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying.
We're gonna press on.
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jute uh janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor.
We used to have big infrastructure builders in this day, in Intercontinental Railroad.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a task for the official.
Good afternoon.
This is Bo Snurley, official Obama criticizer, certified black enough to criticize with 100% pure organic slave blood in the mix.
I have a statement, y'all.
Refreshed from his uh most recent vacation to Mothers Vineyard, Mr. Obama is now concerned with jobs.
Or more accurately, the lack of jobs under his administration.
At the CBC Awards dinner, he promised that uh very small business owners, including a hundred thousand black-owned businesses will get a tax cut under his so-called jobs bill.
This is a victory of sorts because finally Mr. Obama has rediscovered there are black people in America.
Whoa.
And then he told his rediscovered black audience to take off their bedroom slippers, put on their marching shoes, shake it off, stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying.
We've got work to do.
We have to press on.
How utterly sad.
There is no other audience who rates this unseemly presidential lecture from Barack Obama.
And yet, the pushback from the CBC has been tame.
And now a translation for EIB brothers and sisters in the hood.
Oh no, he didn't.
Oh no, he didn't.
Oh yeah, he did.
You heard him, B. He and Shelley partying like his 1999, every week up in the White House, up at Malthus, on the Cape, and now he's in our grill telling us to shake it off, stop whining, stop complying, stop, stop crying?
What's up with that?
You better step off, yo, and to re-look this situation, dog.
First of all, you know what it's like out here?
We got massive, yo, jobs, no, okay?
Massive no jobs.
Yo.
Check that out.
Okay.
We got so many empty houses that have been foreclosed on man.
We could start a new hood in the old hood.
And homies talking about stop crying, stop complaining, stop grumbling.
Check this out.
Do you go to the Hispanic audience, Obama told them to stop whining about jumping the fence, yo?
No.
Do you tell the Jew janitors, yo, to, you know, stifle it?
No.
The soccer moms?
No.
Your Wall Street posse?
No.
Do you tell them to shut up?
No.
Stop complaining.
No.
But you come to our leaders.
Well, you come up to off well, you show up at the CBC, and then all of a sudden you tell them, in other words, STFU.
Y'all know what that well, never mind, okay?
Check this out.
Y'all right.
It's time to take off the bedroom slippers, put on the boots, but we marching with you down to the White House, yo, to protest you and what you've done.
You hooked up your union boys, you hooked up your Wall Street posse, you hooked up your crew, but you left the hood out of it till right now, and the only thing you got to tell us is shut up, stop complaining.
You better come better than that, bro.
Otherwise, next December, next November, it's gonna be real cold up there, and you can't run to Martha's in the winter.
I'm out, yo.
Peace.
And that is the official Obama criticizer, Mr. Bow Sturdley.
We will be right back.
Washington Times has the story out of hundreds of out-of-work employees, vendors, investors, and other creditors in the bankruptcy of government-backed solar panel maker Cylindra, one name stands out, the California Democrat Party.
Why California Democrats would be creditor to a company that got more than half a billion dollars in federal loans to build a solar panel plant isn't clear.
Even California Democrat Party officials say that they're not sure.
Really, they're not sure.
Folks, the stimulus was a giant money laundering scheme for the Democrats and for Obama, and this is just more proof.
We already have the proof, and it is proof.
All the bailouts for the states that went to keep teachers and other public sector unions employed because they pay dues, and those dues end up back in the Democrat Party.
Obama gives half a billion dollars to Cylindra, and guess who one of the creditors is?
The California Democrat Party.
And nobody can figure out how Cylindra came to list the Democrat Party of California among its creditors.
Of course, the purpose of this ideal way to launder money for the California Democrat Party.
The idea never entered their heads.
Just an number one another way to recycle the money, folks.
But it's not rocket surgery or rocket science.
Cylindra slipped up.
They were just too honest.
In fact, it probably didn't even occur to the Cylindra execs that anybody wouldn't have already known that this was their only real reason for existing in the first place.
A repository.
This was part of the slush fund, and I I it it's more and more coming to light that this is precisely what most of the stimulus money is, or what a great deal of it is for, anyway.
Okay, we got much more straight ahead, plus your phone calls are coming up.
