Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Barry did it!
Barry did it again!
He killed another bad guy!
Barry did it!
Now Hillary is over there, and she might want to take credit for pulling a trigger, but Barry did it!
Fall right!
Mubarak gone!
Ali Vishley or whatever, Tunisia gone!
Bin Laden gone!
Qaddafi gone!
Barry did it!
And the drive-bys are having orgasms.
The drive-bys are, well, we've never had this competent a foreign policy president ever.
Why, this guy, Barry, has done what eight presidents, starting with Nixon, couldn't do.
Reagan tried it.
Nixon tried it.
Every president says Nixon trying to get rid of Gaddafi, but Barry did it.
Greetings, my friends.
How are you?
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh back in the saddle, as they say, here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882 and the email address, illrushbaugh at EIBnet.com.
The drive-bys are going baddie here, folks, over military action.
Normally, they don't like a victorious United States.
Well, they do when a Democrat president's behind it, but boy, they're just so excited.
Barry did it.
Barry did it.
It's almost like Barry pulled the trigger.
But ladies and gentlemen, I want to take you back.
When was this?
This was this year, May 28th in New York City at the Salem United Methodist Church.
Because when I heard, when I heard today that Gaddafi was taken out, I said, you know, this is not going to make Calypso Louie happy.
And this is not going to make Reverend Wright happy.
Reverend Wright and Calypso Louie, Minister Farrakhan, loved Qaddafi.
Didn't, I mean, we know that Farrakhan went over there a number of times.
Didn't Jeremiah Wright as well?
Didn't Reverend Wright go over there a number of times?
What?
He was in Libya.
They were close.
They were tight.
They were bros.
And here is Calypso Louie, May 28th of this year, New York City, the Salem United Methodist Church during an American clergy leadership conference event.
Calypso Louie.
America can sit down tyrants, but who will sit her down?
She puts her trust in her weapons of war.
She threatens the nations of the earth.
And has my brother calling for the assassination of Brother Muammar Qaddafi?
What has he done?
You've been deceived.
That's a murderer in the White House.
Who will say it?
I will.
Because I have a power behind me that is bringing America to judgment as we speak.
Don't be afraid.
I'm talking.
Does that not sound a lot like Wright?
The cadence and the voice timbered?
Does that, that was Qaddafi.
I'm sorry, that was Farrakhan.
But it sounded just like Reverend Wright.
There's a murderer in the White House.
We've also got another bite.
I got Cookie trying to track it down.
I just remembered it moments ago.
But it's Qaddafi.
Sorry.
It's Farrakhan saying to Obama, who are you?
Who are you to say?
Listen to this bite again because that is a murderer in the White House.
And then listen to how much it sounds like Reverend Wright.
America can sit down tyrants, but who will sit her down?
She puts her trust in her weapons of war.
She threatens the nations of the earth.
And has my brother calling for the assassination of Brother Muhammad Qaddafi?
What has he done?
You've been deceived.
That's a murderer in the White House.
Who will say it?
I will.
Because I have a power behind me that is bringing America to judgment as we speak.
Don't be afraid.
I'm talking.
All right.
Mike, I'm going to switch everything up from what I told you audio soundbite-wise.
Let's just stick with this and we'll get to the other stuff in due course.
But I'm going to stick with the Qaddafi subject.
Yeah, we're going to get to the debate and my thoughts on it.
Folks, there were parts of that debate.
I was laughing my off.
I was laughing at it.
Yeah, there are just a number of elements of that, but I found myself laughing, which not necessarily a good sign, but I did.
Catherine and I were watching it, and I was, did you, I can't even say this.
I can't even say, don't even try to goad me into saying it.
No, yeah, it's a shame.
It's a faux paup.
I shouldn't even have alluded to it.
The very beginning, the first question, I said, what, what, what, what, the first question was from an audience member.
At any rate, it was child.
I thought, well, here, let's go.
Here's what I said.
Now, I'm already out of order.
I knew this was going to happen.
I'll get to the debate here in just a second.
I want to take you back to March 29th on this program.
This is me, your lovable host.
If it succeeds, then I'm just telling you, get ready.
Every story, every interview with people on the street.
I mean, Nick Robertson's going to go nuts over at CNN.
He's going to find Mustafa.
He's going to find Ahmed.
He's going to find Khalid.
He's going to find all.
And these guys are all going to talk about how grateful everybody is for Obama and what he has done.
I mean, that's the plan.
That's the hope.
That's what's sketched out on the storyboards here for the Obama doctrine, which is 2012 or bust.
That was March 29th, and I was talking about how the media are going to go nuts once they kill Qaddafi.
Can't wait to give Obama credit for it.
Remember, Nick Robertson, the CNN reporter, who was at Tarriri Square, which is a circle, and he ran in the middle of the Arab Spring when they're trying to get rid of Mubarak.
And Nick Robertson roams into the audience and he finds, Mustafa, let me ask you a quick question, sir.
What do you think about President Obama and his efforts to support you and jobs for the middle?
And then Mustafa says, Obama, he didn't do anything for us.
We don't care about Obama.
He's been all over.
And then he goes out and he finds Khalid.
Khalid, what do you think of President Obama?
And after these two guys that Nick Robertson found totally dissed Obama, he didn't have nothing to do with this.
Nick Roberts, well, I think as you can plainly hear, the people here at Tarriri Square totally supportive of President Obama and his efforts to bring peace and tranquility and jobs and wealth and street distribution.
It was just this guy went over there, Nick Robertson, did everything he could to give Obama credit for what was happening in Egypt.
That's why this bite, I was predicting that if he ever got Qaddafi, it would be the same thing.
Obama did it.
Barry did it.
And lo and behold, here's a media montage from this morning talking about the death of Muammar Gaddafi.
For the president, this is now a third national security plus, a win, if you will.
It will be considered a victory for President Obama's policy.
This is one more victory, many would say, for Barack Obama.
This is going to be an enormous success for the Obama administration.
A big victory for the Obama administration.
And then there's Jamie Rubin, who was at the State Department during the Clinton years.
He was on American Morning at CNN.
And they have a discussion here about the reported capture and death of Gaddafi.
The co-host Christine Romans said to Jamie Rubin, so, so, a really good day for U.S. policy?
Some in this country didn't want it to happen.
I think President Obama has been vindicated.
And the idea that in certain circumstances, with the right conditions, with U.N. blessing, with support from the region, that the use of force can really turn a dictatorship and help contribute to it becoming a government, hopefully based on democratic values.
It's an important day.
Oh, yeah.
You remember a guy named Saddam Hussein?
Of course, we can't go back and give Bush credit for that.
No, no, no, no.
That was unnecessary.
Hussein didn't pose any kind of a threat.
There was no need for that.
That was Bush trying to avenge something personal between Saddam Hussein and his dad.
Weapons of mass destruction.
Bush lied.
People died and all that.
But now we go out and got Qaddafi, who reportedly was begging for his life.
Don't shoot, don't shoot.
They called Obama and said, Barry, he's saying, don't shoot, don't shoot.
Obama said, shoot.
Well, that's not the seriously.
Here, we got more.
We've got ecstasy.
We have absolute ecstasy.
F. Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell.
NBC News in Washington this morning on MSNBC's daily rundown.
F. Chuck talking to Andrea Mitchell about the capture and killing of Gaddafi.
Andrea, eight presidents have had to deal with Muammar Gaddafi, and it looks like that won't be the case anymore.
Look, you know, Richard Nixon was president when Muammar Gaddafi took power, and this is an extraordinary achievement.
It was very interesting to watch the debate the other night because universally all of the Republican candidates were saying get rid of foreign aid.
Some were saying, you know, let's get out of the United Nations and Mitt Romney as well.
So there is a huge push against foreign aid, and that is exactly what Clinton was delivering when she was in Tripoli, was the prospect of significant aid for this interim government.
And without it, they won't be able to survive.
Yes.
So there's ecstasy.
And there was orgasming going on.
Remember, Barack Obama himself, after Saddam Hussein was captured, said that removing Saddam from office, just a distraction.
Bush is just trying to distract everybody from a bad economy.
Remember that?
That's what it was.
But now, Barry, who is doing so poorly domestically, needing any kind of assistance he can get.
Did you hear about this?
He was in, where was this?
Was it North Carolina?
No, it was a firehouse.
Fire station number nine.
This is an L.A. Times story, and they don't say, I think it was North Carolina.
It doesn't matter.
Closing out his bus tour.
On a low-key note, President Obama made a pitch for his jobs package at a firehouse where a subdued crowd needed a bit of prompting to applaud his proposal to boost the economy.
Obama visited Fire Station 9 to draw attention to a major piece of his jobs package.
He wants to spread $35 billion among states and cities in part to prevent layoffs of police and firefighters and would pay for it with a surtax on millionaires.
The president got a polite reception from the 100 or so people crowded into the station garage.
Early in his speech, he mentioned the American Jobs Act.
One or two people clapped.
You can go ahead and clap, the president said, go ahead.
Nothing wrong with it.
You go ahead and clap 100 firefighters.
You know, if Obama weren't so smug and arrogant, I might, might feel sorry for him.
Look at that.
He's gone from the Greek columns at the Democrat National Convention acceptance speech.
He's gone from the Greek columns in stadiums to begging for applause from 100 firemen in a firehouse garage.
The guy is in a fire station telling them he's doing his best to get taxpayer money to bribe them, and one or two of them applaud.
He almost says, this mic on.
I mean, I'm telling these guys I'm going to go bribe them.
I'm going to get all kinds of taxpayer money to hire them for another year.
And one or two of them applaud, and he has to encourage that.
It's okay.
You can go ahead and applaud.
No enthusiasm, no crowds whatsoever, wherever he's going.
And people that are being honest about this and who are covering it are talking about the small size of the crowds that are showing up to greet Obama.
So on the day the Qaddafi is taken out, it's a chance to shift gears and to focus attention on the strength and the power and the competence of Obama.
Doesn't matter if Libya descends into a rogue state.
What's Egypt descending into?
It doesn't matter.
It's a democracy movement, snerdly.
You just heard the drive-by say it.
You just heard Jamie Rubin say it.
It's an outbreak of democracy.
The Arab Spring.
It's an outbreak of democracy.
This is the who needs evidence.
It's a political campaign.
The drive-bys are acting as campaign managers and consultants and stenographers.
The nature of the evidence here is irrelevant.
The purpose, sort of like the seriousness of the charge, is what matters even when there's no evidence.
No, this is an outbreak of democracy.
Egypt, that was the people of Egypt reliving the Obama campaign in America of 2008.
Getting rid of Hosni Mubarak, the equivalent of getting rid of George W. Bush and bringing freedom back.
No, no, no.
This is all part of a scripted thing to make a takeover by the Muslim Brotherhood equal to an outbreak of democracy in the Middle East.
And we are back.
El Rushball, America's real anchor man, truth detector, doctor of democracy, all combined.
You're one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
We have some greatest hits from Calypso Louie, May 28th, going back to the Salem United Methodist Church, an American clergy and leadership conference.
Minister Louis Farrakhan.
We voted for our brother, Barack, beautiful human being with a sweetheart.
And now he's an assassin.
They've turned him into them.
You didn't hear me!
They've turned beautiful Barack into an assassin.
They?
Who is they?
White Washington.
White Washington is they.
That's who Calypso Louie is referring to.
They turned our brother Barack, a beautiful human being with a sweetheart.
Now he's an assassin.
They turned him into them.
You didn't hear me.
The crowd murmurs its support.
Now we move to March 2011, this year in Chicago.
On the radio, the host says, you told the president, you said, be prepared because it'll be coming to your door.
And your advice to Obama was to remember the words you're making to other nations.
I warn my brother, don't you let these wicked demons move you in a direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in Africa and throughout the world.
Why don't you organize a group of respected Americans and ask for a meeting with Gaddafi?
You can't order him to step down and get out.
Who the hell do you think you are?
All right, so back in March, Calypso Louie told a radio show in Chicago, actually speaking to Obama.
You can't order him to step down and get out.
Who the hell do you think you are?
Now, how do you think Farrakhan feels today?
Back in March, he just told Obama, you can't order him to step down and get out.
Who the hell do you think you are?
And today, Gaddafi is dead.
And the media is praising Obama.
Same day, same radio show, Farrakhan continued.
That you can talk to a man that built a country over 42 years and ask him step down and get out?
Can anybody ask you?
Well, there's a lot now going to ask you to step out of the White House because they don't want no black face in the White House.
Be careful, brother, how you handle this situation because it is coming to America.
It has already started.
Look in Wisconsin.
So, Calypso Louie, not happy today.
There can be no doubt about this.
Calypso Louie has to be seething.
He was challenging.
He was warning.
He was begging.
He was imploring Brother Barack, a beautiful human being with a sweetheart, who has now become an assassin, not to do this.
Who the hell do you think you are?
Imagine how Farrakhan feels today.
And Reverend Wright, you know, he's part of the Qaddafi bunch as well.
The United States government's Hillary Clinton State Department saying they still cannot confirm that Gaddafi is dead.
Libyan leaders are telling the Associated Press that Gaddafi is indeed room temperature.
But Hillary says, no, we can't confirm this yet out there.
We're still trying to figure it out as to what happened.
The one thing about this, okay, who's let's Osama bin Laden gone, Hosni Mubarak gone, Sheikh Olaki gone.
And now if this holds up, Gaddafi gone.
You realize Obama is using up his October surprises a year early.
This is normally the kind of stuff that happens three weeks before an election, not a year before an election.
So who's going to be left for the United States government to take out at the direction of Barry Obama?
Is it running out of bad guys, running out of, running out of, well, I guess they can always pop up.
You never know.
And we also haven't heard whether or not the protesters at Occupy Wall Street approve of this.
You know, there's been a number of people going down and talked to them, looked at a list of their demands.
Nobody has seen on their list of demands, get rid of Gaddafi.
So it remains to be seen what the impact with those people will be.
In the meantime, the Democrat Party and this regime continue to become unhinged.
I was in stunned disbelief.
And that takes something when I'm looking at Joe Biden.
But I was in stunned disbelief listening to a couple of soundbites, actually watching a couple of video clips of the Vice President of the United States.
This is late Tuesday afternoon of Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania.
There was a roundtable with police chiefs from the state of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware to discuss the impact of budget cuts on their ability to effectively police their communities.
And Biden, who started this theme in Flint, Michigan, he went to Flint, Michigan last week, and he said, if we don't get these new dollars appropriated for the American Job Act, there are going to be more rapes and there are going to be more murders.
There's going to be more purse snatching.
There's going to be more crime.
There's going to be more mayhem.
And everybody just cocked their heads and looked and laughed.
What in the world are you talking about?
Are you serious?
And then most reasonable people said somebody at the regime is going to get hold of the guy and walk him back from this.
No, he's doubling down on it.
Let me tell you, it's not temporary when that 911 call comes in and a woman's being raped if a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape.
It's not temporary to that woman.
It's not temporary to the guy whose store is being held up and there's a gun pointed at his head if a cop shows up and he's not killed.
That's not temporary to that store owner.
Give me a break, temporary.
Now, what he's talking about here is what's true.
The amount of money in the so-called American Jobs Act would hire teachers and firefighters and policemen for one year.
It is temporary.
And after that, it's up to the local communities to come up with the money themselves.
So the regime feels the need to beat that down, to beat it back.
So they've sent plugs out there to suggest that if we don't spend this money, that there will be more rapes and more stores will be robbed.
There will be more crime.
There will be more murder.
There will be more mayhem.
Now, this is completely unhinged.
This is a guy who is becoming unglued in front of the American people and apparently doing so happily.
Doing so with great energy.
Here's Wednesday afternoon.
This is the Russell Senate office building rotunda.
The human events reporter Jason Matera is interviewing Vice President Bite Me, and here is this exchange.
You'll hear a couple of women in this bite, too.
Do you regret using a rape reference to describe Republican opposition to the president's bill?
No, no, no.
What I said, let's get it straight, guys.
Don't screw around with me.
Let's get it straight.
You didn't use a rape reference?
No, let me listen to me.
I'm listening.
I said rape was up three times in Flint.
They're the numbers.
Go look at the numbers.
Murder's up, rape is up, and burglaries up.
That's exactly what I said.
And if the Republicans don't pass this bill, then rape will continue to rise.
Murder will continue to rise.
Rape will continue to rise.
All crimes will continue to rise.
Do you think it's appropriate for the vice president to use language in such a way that we're going to go to the next step?
We got to go.
We got to go.
Those are the unidentified female staffers finally saying, okay, enough, so we got to get him out of here.
Because he's digging an even deeper hole.
More rape, more murder, more crime, unless we spend more federal dollars.
Not just in Flint, in Pennsylvania and everywhere.
And it continued.
This is literally out of control.
Now, this is the kind of folks, let me tell you about this.
Everybody's hearing this.
When I say everybody, I'm talking about voters.
Everybody's seeing this, and everybody's hearing it.
Now, you don't see the drive-bys commenting on it.
The drive-bys are not analyzing it in any way, shape, manner, or form.
It's getting some airtime.
But this is the stuff that permeates.
This is the stuff that hits people.
The vice president is making an abject fool of himself, and everybody in this country sees this, and it registers.
The media think that they can limit the impact of this by not talking about it, by ignoring it.
They continue to misunderestimate the power of this program and other elements of the new media.
They also continue to misunderestimate the impact of such blatant, unhinged, deranged behavior from the vice president of the United States.
There are people on the left, Democrats, who are cringing in embarrassment when he says this stuff.
There are others who are not Democrats who are looking at it, the independence, the precious beloved independence, their mouths fall open in shock and dismay, stunned disbelief.
And then there are those of us who watch this, see it for what it is, truly unglued, unhinged.
And don't doubt me for a moment.
This is having a profound impact on people.
It is making this administration look foolish.
It's making Obama look foolish.
It's making Biden look foolish.
It is causing people to have, actually causing them to confirm their suspicions of the incompetence and the deranged extremism and wackiness of this regime.
And it's one thing to go to Flint, Michigan, say this.
Maybe you get lost in the enthusiasm of the moment and you're in a friendly crowd.
You say this, if you're Biden and you think it sounds good and you see some people react to it, you double down on this and it becomes a stump speech.
It's absurd.
It's patently absurd.
There is nobody.
No reasonable people in the world, in the country, are going to believe this, that in order to stop rape and murder, we have to spend $35 billion on Friday.
That's when Dingy is going to have his vote, right?
By Friday.
So Dingy wants his vote on the American job, the $35 billion jobs portion of this debacle.
And what Plugs is telling us here that if we don't get this $35 billion, rape and murder and mayhem and store robberies are going to skyrocket.
Now, nobody believes this.
I can't say nobody.
I mean, there's two or three people, but I mean, you know full well this is I'm at a loss to describe this in terms of how it is affecting people.
Biden's coming across as an absolute unhinged fool.
And then he went to a school.
He went to Good Elementary School, fourth grade class, York, Pennsylvania.
In this school, you're quitting.
You have had a lot of teachers who used to work here, but because there's no money for them in the city, they're not working.
We think the federal government, Washington, D.C., should say to the cities of the states, we're going to give you some money.
And the way we're going to do it is we're going to ask people who have a lot of money to pay just a little bit more in taxes.
Now, he went on in this bite.
In this bite, he went on to say, millionaires.
We're going to get millionaires.
We're going to get $500 from millionaires.
He kept pounding home that we're only going to take $500 from millionaires.
This is a fourth grade class.
Indoctrination, propaganda, whatever.
But it is, once again, using these kids, scaring these kids.
They might not get home alive.
These kids might get raped on the way home from school unless we get that money from those millionaires and get more cops and teachers hired by Friday.
But Plugs is not alone.
Much hell, my bell.
This is another form of indoctrination.
This is Monday in Washington, the White House.
First Lady Moochell Obama speaking at the Healthier U.S. School Challenge celebration, audio soundbite number 18.
When many kids spend half of their waking hours and get up to half their daily calories at school, you know that with the food you serve and more importantly, the lessons you teach, that you're not just shaping their habits and preferences today, you're affecting the choices they're going to make for the rest of their lives.
That's why we start with kids, right?
We can affect who they will be forever.
We can affect who they will be forever, starting with the calories we permit them to eat.
And with the right calories and the right amount of money taken from millionaires after they eat the right calories, we can see to it that they won't be raped on the way home from school or even on the way to kindergarten.
And if they don't get raped on the way home, we can see to it that the store they're going into to buy their juju bees is not held up.
And if we succeed in making sure that they're not raped on the way home and the Juju Bee purchase goes okay because this store is not held up, then we can make sure that they don't see somebody get murdered on the way home after buying the Juju Bees at the Quickie Mart after they've had the right calories as we shape their future forever.
This is your modern day Democrat party.
This is how they think.
They have to act and say and campaign to get your vote.
And they think this is good.
They think this is wise.
They think they're scoring points with this.
And of course, on the other side.
Barry got Qaddafi.
He did it.
Barry did it.
Gaddafi did.
Barry did it.
Oh, what a great day.
Your guiding light.
There are times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, assassination, rape, murder, mayhem.
And yes, even the good times.
Happy to have you with us.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And while we're on the subject, let me grab some phone calls related to this.
We'll start in Pittsburgh.
Hi, Brendan.
You're up first today.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Hi, how are you doing, Rush?
Good.
Thank you very much.
I was on my way out the door to head to school about an hour ago, and I noticed the videos of Qaddafi bleeding and pretty much dying on TV.
What's your opinion on that getting shit on TV?
And we still haven't been seeing pictures of bin Laden or anything.
Well, the difference there is that the video, I've seen it, there's a 20-second video of what looks to be Qaddafi in the back of a truck basically being savagely murdered.
He's already bleeding, but they drag him off the truck and shoot him.
It's a 20-second video from an Arab website.
And it's tribal savagery.
There's no question.
But that's not U.S. video.
The only people who have pictures of Bin Laden's death are us.
And we chose not to release the pictures.
We have no control over these.
Well, I shouldn't say who knows who's in bed with who.
But I'm of the impression that this little 20-second video is from an Arab website, that we have no control over it.
So it's sort of, as Herman Kane was trying to say in the debate the other night, he said, apples and oranges kind of thing.
But the video is, I think it's up on Drudge, but it's very jumpy, and you have to look at two or three times to confirm that it's Qaddafi.
But it's pretty tribal, pretty savage.
This is the kind of chaos that is happening all over the world, and it's ratcheting it up.
And there are people who want to benefit from this.
Who's next?
Where are we going next?
Don't know where we're going next.
Daniel, Casper, Wyoming, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, a couple of points.
I've talked to you before, former Airborne Ranger guy.
Hey, I thought the British and the French and the Italians were going after Qaddafi.
I thought we were not doing that.
That's my first comment, why everybody's so excited about it.
Well, you're getting caught up.
The Republicans ought to get out and congratulate the French and the Brits and the Italians.
Well, you're getting caught up in a common trap.
And that is that you are, for some reason, obsessed with truth.
Oh, yeah, the facts.
Yeah, and the truth and the media and the Obama regime are not at all aligned.
This is, you know, I think for the longest time, there has been confusion exactly what is our role in Libya and who is running this show?
Is it NATO?
Is it the French?
Is it the Brits?
Is it the Italians?
But who actually did this?
I mean, if you look at the video, it looks to me like Libyans killed Qaddafi.
Looks like whoever it is on the ground, but it doesn't matter.
None of this matters.
The narrative, the template is Obama did it.
And that's all that matters.
Whether it's anything to do with the truth or not, Obama did it.
Obama needs a shot in the arm.
Obama's campaign needs a boost.
Foreign policy, they'll take it anywhere they can get it.
So Gaddafi's dead.
Obama did it.
End of story.
So you have Biden out making another fool of himself, or I should better say, a fool of himself again.
And Dingy Harry let a moment of liberal truth slip when he said, private sector, that's doing fine.
We don't really care about that.
Government jobs is what we are focused on, what we need more of.
