We're not going to play the whole seven minutes of it, but it won't take that long to make the point that I want to make.
Hi, folks, it's Friday.
Live from the left post at our satellite studios in Los Angeles.
It's open line Friday.
Johnny Donovan revved up as he's ever been revved up, announcing us here in Los Angeles.
This is our third and final day here in Los Angeles.
We've been all over the place down here in Los Angeles.
We've been in German Oaks, we've been to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks all over the place.
And heading back to the EIB Southern Command later this afternoon.
Great to have you with us, folks.
Two more hours of open line Friday to go at 800-282-2882.
And I promise, I mean, I've got a lot of great stuff here, but we're going to get your phone calls in as quickly as possible.
We put together back in the summer of 2008.
Obama goes to the Middle East to apologize for America.
Cairo speech, number of other places.
And this is, you know, ABC World News Tonight leads off of what an idiot Rick Perry is, how stupid Republicans are in their little report there.
And I made the comment, you know, you you take Obama off prompter, and we're not, we're not talking about guy with elevator goes all the way to the top floor.
Sounds more like a guy who's an order of fries short of a happy meal.
This is from one speech, one press conference on July 22nd of 2008.
We have here, I'm not going to play it.
We have seven minutes and 35 seconds.
What you're going to hear, not one thing repeated or recycled.
Each one of these is individual, was its own utterance or occurrence.
And out of a 40-minute press conference, this took up seven minutes and 35 seconds.
I also want to thank the, this, you know, is, is, is, of their work.
I called with Ed It goes on for seven and a half minutes.
And we have to do this.
None of these are repeated.
As well as I uh uh we uh and uh uh Okay.
That's enough.
Where do we get the idea for it?
You couldn't miss it.
Seven and a half minutes out of forty minutes was that.
It didn't take long before we're all looking at ourselves and going, well, for crying out loud, this is like people who say you know all the time.
Except he says uh.
See, intellectuals approve that though, because that in intellectual speak, that means you're in deep, deep thought.
So seven minutes, 35 seconds.
Seven and a half minutes.
Seven minutes out of forty minutes.
Over 10% of it.
And it was a uh it was a press conference.
This Keystone Pipeline.
A lot of people are up in arms over this.
Study was conducted by uh Perryman group out of uh Waco, Texas to measure the impact of the Keystone oil pipeline project on the U.S. economy.
Uh this is a pipeline from Canada down to the Gulf via pipe.
Bring oil.
And the oil is from Canada.
So the Perryman group conducts the study in 2010, concluded that the Keystone Project, the pipeline project, would reduce the Cost of energy and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Study was conducted to measure the impact of the Keystone oil pipeline, and there were two scenarios for job creation depending on the price of oil.
On the low end, the pipeline would create 250,000 new American jobs.
On the high end, 500,000.
Plus, it would bring in oil from places outside the Middle East.
So we have a story here from the uh cheering sycophantic, state-controlled associated press from today.
Nebraska rancher Bruce Butcher was ecstatic when he learned the rumors swirling out of Washington were true.
Plans to build a 1,700-mile oil pipeline from Canada to Texas were on hold to study how environmentally sensitive areas in his state could be avoided.
He had fought the project with neighbors whose land also sits atop the Ogallala qualifier, Aquifier or Aquifer.
I knew I'd get it there in a third try.
A massive underground water supply in the pipeline's path and at the epicenter of the national debate.
Nebraska officials, including its Republican governor, pushed against the project, as had environmentalist wakos and national groups.
So the point is ABC story.
See, it's not the environmentalist wack goes the stop of the pipeline.
It's not Obama because he's a liberal Democrat.
See, redneck farmers.
Because I guarantee you, an East Coast AP writer, well, any AP writer would look at a rancher in Nebraska as a hayseed.
They go out and they get a quote from the rancher.
So you get these rednecks, they don't even want this pipeline.
It's not Obama's fault.
Redneck Republicans don't want it.
Let me tell you that look, everybody knows this.
This thing would provide a lot of oil and minimum 20,000 jobs, and that's what Obama says he cares about.
And he stamps a delay on this till after the election, and that's the key.
He might authorize this if he's re-elected, but he's if he authorizes this now, then his base will have a cow.
His base will have it literally blow up on him.
So he knows this is good for the country.
He knows that it will work, but he can't do what's good for the country.
Otherwise, he might not get re-elected.
And that's the way to look at this.
You just...
I've always said, you know what's good for Democrats, bad for America.
What's bad for Democrats is good for America.
And this, the Keystone Pipeline, illustrates it.
Do you know this Jerry Sandusky at Penn State has an autobiography?
Well, you've probably heard by now what the title of this thing is called Touched.
Thank you.
Touched, the Jerry Sandusky story, published in 2001.
The book explores Sandusky's career and his involvement in children's charities.
Well, we all know what that involvement has allegedly been.
Paterno canned students are rioting in Penn State, angry that their coach has been taken away from them.
The other two, the AD and the university president of the AD Assembly, two of the people have been, well, I think they've been fired, but the university's paying for their defense.
Paterno is all on his own.
I mean, they've just really left him high and dry and hanging.
So he's he's hired a big-time Washington defense lawyer.
He's not been told he's a technical.
He's been told he's not a target by prosecutors here.
But anything can change.
Found uh surfing around last night, working on today's program, and I found uh or was directed to the Michael Moore website because there was a guy who'd posted something on this site that a lot of the left wing blogs are going nuts with.
He loved it.
They thought this was right on the money.
This is great.
So this thing was being promoted throughout the left-wing blogosphere yesterday, last night.
I never heard of this guy.
Mike Elk.
He's a third-generation union organizer and labor journalist based in Washington.
And the point of his piece here, Penn State riots are about white men not liking to be held accountable.
So that's how this, and apparently this is one of the hottest posts throughout the left-wing blogosphere all day and last night.
If, like me, you scanned the crowds rioting at Penn State last night after the announcement they fired Paterno, you may have noticed that nearly all the people there were white men.
The riots were about white men not liking to be held accountable.
As a native Pennsylvania, I never once considered attending Penn State.
Penn State always seemed like a place full of clickish white people.
This guy is white, by the way.
Clickish white people recalling their glory years of making fun of the dorky kids in high school, which this guy looks like he was one.
More progressive white people and people of color went to big city state schools like Pitt or Temple, while whiter, more conservative types tended to dominate the settings of the rural fraternity heavy Penn State campus.
At the center of Penn State's conservative culture stood Joe Paterno, who frequently campaigned and fundraised for conservative politicians throughout Pennsylvania.
Penn State was a company town.
Football was the company that funded Penn State.
And he goes on to make the point that this is racism.
This bunch of white guys that don't like being held accountable.
To show how upset this guy really is, he says at the end of Pennsylvania and I couldn't be more ashamed of Penn State, so this weekend I'm going to be rooting for the University of California Berkeley Golden Bears.
Well, that's going to really shake people up.
He's really ruining a lot of people's days by telling them that he's going to be rooting for the Cal Berkeley Bears.
He says there, students participating in Occupy Cal bravely faced police attacks for peaceably a civil.
Oh, by the way, folks, this is getting this whole Occupy stuff, they're people getting killed at it now.
It's getting shot.
I don't understand these mayors where this is happening, why they haven't booted these people out of these places by now.
Well, I say I don't understand it, I actually think I do understand it, but it's outrageous.
This is uh nobody has the desire to exercise their authority over these people.
This is pure anarchy by design and on purpose.
It's filth, it is squalor.
In fact, these Occupy encampments are exactly the kind of places the environmentalists envision for the future as a way to protect the planet.
No electricity, no modern facilities, no use of fossil fuels.
Except when the rock stars come to do a concert, then it's okay.
I've got to take a break.
We'll come back and we'll get to your phone calls, folks, right after this on Open Line Friday.
Welcome back, folks.
Open Line Friday, fastest three hours in media from TMZ.com.
Two things before we get to the media.
Uh phones.
Two things.
Penn State Coach tells players to get counseling.
The parents of Penn State football players were on a teleconference last night with a new coach who advised them to help their kids out by getting some counseling.
Two of the parents who were on the call tell TMZ that Tom Bradley, a new coach, advised the group that the scrual had counselors available to help the players cope.
Okay, I don't know.
Don't know why they would need counseling, but maybe that's not for me to ask.
And then I don't understand this.
The education secretary, Arnie Duncan, said this week that screwels.
Kindergarten should start teaching personal finance lessons.
Personal finance lessons to kindergarten students.
Now, why would kindergarten students need to know anything about personal finance?
By the time they grow up, they're not going to have any money of their own.
It's going to all be the governments.
They are not going to have to worry about buying food.
It'll all be provided by the government.
They won't be buying homes or maybe even paying rent.
They'll be living in government subsidized housing.
They won't have to buy a car.
They'll be given an electric car or told to ride mass transit.
Of course, there won't be any college tuition.
Now there will be student loans, but they'll be forgiven after probably eight years by the time kindergarten's today are growing up.
We all know that free diapers are the next thing that the government's handing out.
Health care.
Why in the world would they need to know about personal finances?
They're not going to have any money.
Thank you.
What what do you think the real point here of the government teaching personal finance to kindergarteners is?
It's to reorder the whole concept of where money comes from and who really has it.
That could be the only thing.
Well, there might be other things too.
You can figure it out maybe.
But let's go to the phones.
People are patiently waiting.
I promised to get earlier today, and I haven't met the commitment.
We're going to Superior, Wisconsin.
Lori, I'm glad you called.
Thank you, and welcome to Open Line Friday.
Hi, Rush.
It's great to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Um, I just want to let you know on Wednesday afternoon I ordered my first case of tea.
Oh, you did, thank you very much.
Yep, and I got it this morning, and I am just finishing my first bottle.
Wow.
You got it in two days.
You ordered on Wednesday.
No, wait, you got Tuesday.
You ordered on Tuesday, right?
I or I I got it in less than forty-eight hours.
Less than forty-eight hours.
Oh, and ordered online has gotten to me in forty eight hours.
I love hearing that, and you like it.
That's I know it.
It's wonderful.
Oh, that's I you're making my day here.
Make it my Snerdley would have never put this call through.
See?
That's why it's good to switch call screeners up now and then.
I'm so glad that you called and got through.
What th that's just um what what flavor do you like out there?
Um, I I got the diet original.
Yeah.
And now I'm gonna have to try the raspberry.
Yeah, well that that'll blow your mind.
It's it's it's it's indescribably delicious.
Yeah.
And can I tell you a story?
Sure.
My own.
That's what open line Friday is all about.
Well, I'm I'm not a rush baby, I'm a rush teenager.
So I was a teenager when my mom started watching you on TV.
Mm-hmm.
And when I went off to college, and I had some pressing issue, I was frantic about something, and had to call home long distance to my mom.
And the first thing she said was, I can't talk now because the rush is on.
Oh, well, mom after my heart.
I put it putting kids in their proper place.
But now I do that to my husband, so the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
That's the kind of impact you have on people.
Well, I appreciate that's really nicely to say.
So your mom, your mom uh put you second to this program, and now that you do the same to your husband.
Yes.
Yeah.
How long have you been married?
Um, it's uh oh boy.
Seven and a half years.
Seven and I have two restaurants.
Yeah, you did a little Rick Perry on me there, having to uh figure out how long you've been here.
I don't know.
I it's going around.
Well, you've definitely got your head on straight, and I am honored to have you in the audience out there, Lori.
Thank you.
All right, that's Lori in Superior, Wisconsin, uh St. Petersburg, uh, Florida, I guess, next.
Brian, welcome to the program.
Great to have you here.
Hello, Rush.
Um, God bless you, buddy.
It's great to talk to you.
Thank you.
So mad, Rush.
I cannot handle the uninformed, the misinformed and the ignorant much longer.
Um, I'm so mad I could um I could play horseshoes with the horse to the horse still in the shoe.
Um what I'm calling about is on the one side you have the United States Department of Agriculture telling us that families are starving all across the country.
So here's food stamps.
In the middle, you have the Memphis School District telling us that kids now are going home without supper, so we can feed them dinner as well.
Could you believe that story?
Well, hang on just a second.
Brian, I had that story yesterday, and they started out with this eleven year old kid, and it's all about he can't just survive with a snack at two o'clock.
He won't make it till they've got to have dinner from the school before he gets home.
Well, that just I was listening yesterday.
That's why I heard it from Zew.
And it made me so mad.
I just wanted to leap off my balcony.
Um, and then you have on the far side of the story, Michelle Obama running around telling all our children are fat, they're obese, they're lazy, and they need to eat right.
And it occurred to me that I guess what it is is if government feeds our children breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the little indoctrination centers, which justifies them teaching finances in kindergarten to explain to them how they're all um, you know, selfish, and if they earn any money, they they probably stole it.
But on the one hand you have Michelle telling us that our kids are all fat and what have you.
And what I guess the truth of the matter is, unless government feeds our children, then we're going to subject them to a lifetime of fat, uh hot cholesterol, hardened out of ease, and a lifetime of misery if we make these choices.
It's a hypocrisy.
It's just got me to the level.
I'm on the same page with you, Brian.
That whole story that threw me.
Um because it's breakfast, lunch, and their snacks.
Don't forget breakfast, lunch, and now dinner at school.
What why do we even need homes?
Why even send the kids home?
The parents are absolved of any responsibility for them.
I think we just kids get produced and uh parents uh go off and live their lives as they want to.
The schools take care of the kids, and Michelle feeds them and everything, and they get up fat, sloppy, and happy.
Just like you say.
We had hot dog day on Tuesdays, Rush, and four days a week we brought a sack with peanut butter and jelly.
I know.
I know, but we gotta resist the old fogy tendency here, Brian, because everybody, every generation does that.
Um my parents did it, my grandparents walk to school with no shoes in 20 feet of snow stuff, and we all just laughed at them hearing these stories about their hardships.
Uh I I can s my mother gave me a quarter every day for school lunch.
And we roll on open line Friday.
By the way, just so you know, this this uh school dinner business.
Just just so that you uh under understand this, the push for this is from the Service Employees International Union.
It's a union deal because they run the kitchens.
They run the uh the the kitchens, school cafeterias, and providing dinner at the screws gives the SEIU more employees and more wages, and therefore more union dues,
which end up where circuitously right back at the Democrat Party, which authors the legislation, or writes the regulation, or uh stamps the approval on the presidential executive order, or what uh what have you?
Uh energized, organized thing, and it's going to happen more and more.
That's that was the whole point of the story.
This is in Memphis.
Remember the female reporter Ed was just all beside herself happy.
There wasn't one person in the story she talked to that might have uh differing opinion about it conceptually.
No, this is look at what our government's doing for us next.
Isn't it wonderful?
And here, right here in Memphis, the little 11-year-old Todd boy who told everybody that would listen that uh a snack wasn't enough to get him through the day at two o'clock and have dinner and look what the federal government is doing, responding with a wonderful country, isn't it?
The point of the story.
And of course, how do you oppose this?
I mean, who can be opposed to feeding hungry children?
Who could what kind of monster would oppose that?
Remember Bill Clinton?
When Dole laid into him in a ninety-six presidential debate, Clinton said no attack ever fed a hungry child.
Well, you can say that here.
So uh sometimes you just have to laugh frustratedly so and even angrily.
M. Adam in uh Rockford, Illinois.
Welcome to Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hello?
Hello, hi.
Um, yeah, I have a economics teacher, Mr. McCoy.
He is a screaming liberal, and I challenge him in his class.
So he plans his lesson around me and he tries to set little traps for me.
Is there anything uh you you can help me say just to shut them up and put them in his place?
Well, I w not without knowing some of the traps that your teacher what do you say his name is Mr. McCoy?
Yeah.
You're calling from uh Rockford, Illinois.
Yeah.
And there's a you're you're you're in high school?
Yeah, I'm a senior at uh Auburn High School.
Senior Auburn High School Professor uh McCoy, did you say his name?
Yes, sir.
Screaming liberal?
Yeah, uh I actually have uh a paraphrase of his right here that he said to me in class, because I am the only conservatives in his class.
He says, like Adam, all conservatives hate public goods.
They want the lower class to suffer because they don't have enough money.
You have a teacher actually telling you this.
Mm-hmm.
This is not by any means the first time I've heard stuff like this from from uh people.
Well, it's the same kind of stuff happens in schools in South Florida, I could I can tell you.
Right.
Okay, so uh you uh want me to give you some assistance in dealing with Professor McCoy?
Yes.
Anything you can tell me say just uh put him in his place.
Well, that's tough without uh without knowing what he's going to say to you at any moment, uh when you want a specific reply to him, uh you could always when he gives you an opinion like that, tells you that uh Republicans want the lower classes, conservatives want the lower classes to suffer.
Um would you ask him what's in it for conservatives to have people suffer?
Make him explain this.
Why?
What is the point what w and and but beyond that, I'll tell you what you really ought to do is say, Mr. McCoy, I don't accept your premise.
You can't prove this.
This is nothing more than liberal claptrap that I can read on any left wing blog.
You're supposed to be teaching me things I don't know, not trying to indoctrinate me.
Well, see, any time I try to follow up questions or anything, he just changes the subject.
Well, you're dealing with a problem that there's not much you can really do about.
I mean, in a classroom, you're the serf and he is the authoritative figure.
He he does have all the authority in there.
Oh, yeah.
And you're supposed to be subservient uh to it.
Um I d I just you know, smiling at them and and laughing at them tends to frustrate them.
Well, one day I actually told him I am a rush baby, and he said in enough words, he said, I am lost and can't be can't be found again, basically.
He basically said that i it's worthless trying to convert me because I am a rush baby.
Oh.
Then uh well then you should the the comeback to that is Mr. McCoy, this is a school.
I didn't think you were here to convert me.
I thought you were here to teach me.
I'd like to learn something in here, Mr. McCoy, not just be suggested subjected to what you think.
He he actually is a really good teacher, and I do learn things from him, but his class is a very good thing.
Well, is it possible is it possible that Mr. McCoy is just using a technique, and maybe he's not a screaming liberal.
Maybe he's just pretending to be one to get your goat to promote your thinking.
Oh no, he is definitely screaming liberal because my mom, she listens to you every day.
Uh we went in there for um parentage conference.
Okay, well, wait a minute now, though why is he a good teacher then?
He he actu I have learned things in his class.
Like what?
Let's let's be sure you're learning here.
What something that's the the true give me gonna be something you you uh you really got excited when you learned it when he taught it to you when you found out what you didn't know.
Can you think of anything off the top of your head?
Well, I don't know about excited, but I have learned things like externalities, incentives, price for price ceiling, a whole bunch of that stuff.
Incentives price floor, price ceiling.
Okay, um what did you learn about incentives?
Incentives he says that incentives are good or bad things that make a person do or not do something.
Uh well, yeah, but in relation to what?
Yes.
Uh so was he talking about the ins did he ever talk about the incentive Of work.
Um, he he talked about incentives of work as in if you don't get a job, he has to pay for you through his taxes because you don't have a job.
If you don't get a job, he has to pay it through taxes because you don't have a job.
Yeah, more or less words.
In other words, his taxes go up to support you.
Yeah.
Well, it sounds to me like this guy uh has deep resentment for people that don't work.
He's taking it personally.
He teaches in Rockford, um, top ten unemployment.
It's pretty bad.
Top ten unemployment.
Uh you know, I it sounds to me like you're doing pretty well in this class because what what is happening here?
I know you've called me and asked for assistance, and I know millions would like to get that from me, but you're absolutely you're thinking.
Uh whatever this guy is doing, whatever he's teaching you, he's still inspiring you to think critically, and that's the most important thing.
I don't care what else you get out of school with.
Whatever grades you get in classes, courses and so forth, but if you get out of there with the ability to think critically and challenge things that that that don't make sense to you off the top, that's good.
Critical thinking is what is not taught anymore.
Oh, I agree.
And he's uh I don't I don't know if he's trying to indoctrinate you, it isn't working.
Oh, no.
Not at least.
I think you're in I think you're in pretty good shape here.
I would just he starts making asserts uh asserts assertions like uh conservatives want people to be poor.
Well, he's actually said conservatives are evil.
Yeah.
Um you need to ask him to explain it and give you examples.
Yeah.
I said No, you do, you and you need to have him define terms.
Oh no, I've tried to.
He just changes the subject every time I try to say anything.
Um unless he wants to get in a big argument, which we do almost every day.
Well, you know, that's about all you can do because you're facing an authority situation.
Yeah.
Uh as long as you're able to maintain your open mind with all this stuff and realize that those kinds of uh assertions that they're really childish and immature for for for somebody who's supposed to be responsible for expanding somebody's mind.
I mean, that's that is the one of the silliest assertions.
It's a cliche.
In fact, you might even say that.
Mr. McCoy, I really a lot of respect for you, a teacher.
I'd like to be taught something other than cliches.
Yeah.
You remember that.
Oh, yes, definitely.
Mr. McCoy, I just don't accept that premise.
Uh I want to learn something here other than cliches.
I can see that any day I want on the internet, what you just said.
I don't need to come to this class if you're gonna say things like that.
True.
Is that Mr. McCoy in the background?
No, that's my sister.
Oh, okay.
Well, you keep in touch and let us know how this goes, okay?
Okay.
Anything else, Adam, we can help you with.
Um, my mom and me, we we have discussed at him with length about everything, and they actually sat down and had a two-hour argument about politics, and your show actually came up.
Um, I wasn't there for the whole time, so you'd have to ask her.
But the the only thing because I left her room right after because I had to go see another teacher.
Let me tell you, hate iPods, and my mom wanted me to tell you that.
He hates iPods.
He hates iPods.
Well, no, that's just unacceptable.
I don't care whatever else the guy does.
That's fighting words.
He hates iPods, he hates iPads.
This guy is a is is a dinosaur.
Let me let me let me tell you something, though.
Your mom is special.
Most parents won't get near what your mom did because they fear whatever they do will be taken out on their children.
And they just will tell the look, okay, just try to get through it.
I don't want to harden your grade, and and these teachers don't get challenged that way.
Your mom did a brave thing.
Don't forget that.
I won't never do.
All right.
Adams, uh Adam, take care and thanks for calling.
Folks, we're gonna take a brief time out here as open line Friday rolls on.
We'll be back before you know it.
We'll be back.
Audio sounds by time as we return to them.
This is uh last night's CNN Situation Room, Wolf Blitz speaking with the forehead.
Paul Bagala about Perry.
Rick Perry is middle laps in Wednesday night's debate.
Wolf Blitzer said, you gotta give him a little credit, forehead.
He went on all the morning talk shows.
Uh the morning news shows.
He's gonna be on a letterman tonight.
He's not backing down.
He's trying to fix this.
Yeah, I know.
I'm trying to say something other than what I'm thinking, which is he's an idiot.
He's unqualified to be president.
He was the candidate for all the people who thought George W. Bush was just too cerebral for them.
There you have it.
That's the forehead, uh, also from Texas, by the way, talking about Rick Perry, who has uh been a very successful productive governor for 14 years in Texas.
Uh this morning on Scarborough's show, Morning Joe, Scarborough spoke with noted liberal columnist Mike Barnacle about former president George W. Bush.
Scarborough said, George W. Bush, a very bright guy.
You meet George W. Bush one-on-one, he's bright, he's engaging.
Is that not right, Mike?
You were uh not blown away from him, you were blown away, right?
Engaging that guy was when you met him, right?
I know a very good friend of mine, lifelong Democrat, went to a meeting with George W. Bush within the past month down in Texas.
Came back and was stunned at his reaction.
Stunned that, you know, he was the most personable people he's ever met.
Terrific time with him.
I just continually am amazed by this.
Now I can understand when people meet me for the first time, and they've never listened to the program, but they think they know everything about me.
And it's fun to look at people totally shocked that I am a nice, charismatic engaging dominate the room kind of guy.
I can understand that.
They've never listened to me, they just believed it.
But this guy, Bush was president.
Mike Barnacle.
They really thought that Bush was this big blithering idiot, which was a total image they concocted.
He was president.
Everybody knew who George Bush was.
I know what some of you are saying.
Hey, Rush, he came off that way sometimes when the camera went on, he did look like deer in the headlights.
Doesn't it?
They know he's got a Harvard MBA.
And these guys know you don't buy those.
I don't care what anybody thinks.
You've got to get the grade to get a Harvard MBA or whatever.
Wharton School, these things are not sold.
Uh and I they they the fact that they would be stunned by this is quite telling to me.
Now, this morning on Jansing and Company on MSNBC.
And here once again, I have to observe that were it not for that network, we wouldn't have any liberal sound bites.
We we really wouldn't, which may be an argument for keeping a network alive.
Maybe the only argument for keeping it alive so that we have sound bites.
