Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
I knew it.
There was collusion.
There was collusion at the highest levels to clear out all of the Occupy Wall Street areas.
All of them.
Yeah, the big city mayors were accused of getting together to collude to getting them all out of there.
No, no, no.
We didn't do that.
We were just talking to each other about the about the problems.
Then we learned that the feds, the Obama cleared them out of there.
That's what happened.
I don't have any doubt that that's what happened.
Hey folks, how are you?
Rush Limboy, and we have reached Wednesday, hump day here.
For those of you who work five day weeks, get this day behind you, and you're over to hump, and we're happy to be here.
Telephone number, and we're thrilled.
It's a delight to have you with us.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Okay, so the good news is that uh the cops have finally deliberated Zuccotti Park from the Occupy Army, occupation army of these lousy hippies, thieves, rapists, purse snatchers, muggers who were camped out there.
The bad news is that they're now back out on the streets.
And in New York, who's gonna notice the difference?
Other places you might be able to tell.
According to news reports out there, ladies and gentlemen, about a dozen protesters went ahead and spent the night in Zuccotti Park, with probably close to the number of people that were spending the night in Zuccotti Park every night anyway, probably only twelve of them.
We couldn't know because we couldn't see inside the tents, and we wouldn't want to see inside the tents.
Uh how much how much do you want to bet that most of these protesters are glad Bloomberg finally kicked them out, and that the judge is letting the rules be enforced.
This way, all of these protesters can move back in with their parents without losing face now.
They can still go back home as heroes.
They didn't go home, see, because it got too cold.
They didn't go home because of the lice.
They didn't go home because of all of the sexually transmitted diseases and the scobies and the Scottties and whatever else was going on.
Tougher than that, they didn't go home for any of that.
They were forced out.
They were forced to go home by the man.
So they're still heroes.
It wasn't the conditions that drove them out of there.
But I was thinking about my dogs.
We got this little puppy, Cambridge.
We got three dogs at Abigail, Wellesley, and Cambridge, all females.
Two of them it's now, one soon to be, and it meaning they've been spayed.
But they're but they're females.
I mean, think about them.
Now that these kids from Occupy whatever have gotten used to urinating and defecating in the streets, when they go back home, are their parents gonna have to housebreak them all over again.
Teach them how to use the potties, the bathrooms.
If you are a parent of a returning hero from Occupy Wall Street, you might want to put some newspaper down at strategic points inside the house.
Particularly the bedrooms where your brave hero sons and daughters are returning home after this valiant, valiant effort to overturn whatever it was they wanted overturned.
But I'm folks at the end of the day here, I'm still a little sorry to see them all go.
Well, every photo from the Occupy protest looks like a campaign ad for conservatism.
And this is why they had to be cleared out of there.
This is why they had to go.
I am convinced the mayors got phone calls from Washington from Axelot from somebody, look, let's shut this down because it's not working anymore.
The media gave it its best shot.
The media tried to tell everybody this is just like the Tea Party.
But it wasn't working because the murders, the gunfire, the um the sexually transmitted disease, the filth, the abject filth.
Third world type little city states in all these cities was a direct television ad for conservatism.
These people at Occupy whatever, they are the perfect representatives of the Democrat Party.
What they did, I'm dead serious here, folks.
What they did to Zuccotti Park is what the Democrats would end up doing to the whole country if every one of their policies were surviving unchecked.
This is what would happen.
This is what the environmentalist wackos want.
It's exactly what then I can show you the papers that we've been tracking these people for 30 years, 25 years here about what they really want.
They returned to the days of old, no progress, none whatsoever.
That guy defecating on the cop car is the face of Occupy Wall Street.
In fact, I think we need to call it Obamafy.
Obama fy Wall Street, the face of the Democrat Party.
You just can't buy that kind of advertising, and Democrats knew it.
Obama knew it.
Axlrod knew it, and they had to go out and they had to shut it down.
Obama, meanwhile, doesn't know where he is.
When he's in Hawaii, he thinks he's in Asia.
When he's in Australia, he doesn't know what time zone he's in.
And now he says he's going to send, get this up to 2500 troops, U.S. troops, are going to be sent to Australia to counterbalance the Chicom's growing power there in the region.
That's gonna that's that's gonna show to Chicom's we mean business, folks.
2500 U.S. I mean, that's that's really I'm telling you, this is a show of force unlike the United States has ever demonstrated before.
We're not gonna be pushed around by the ChICOMs anymore.
No way, folks.
Twenty, five hundred U.S. troops to Australia, meanwhile, and for the record, the ChICOM People's Liberation Army said to have two million two hundred and eighty-five thousand soldiers.
It's easily the largest army in the world.
Two million two hundred and eighty-five thousand, and if they could afford to put more in the armed forces, they would do.
This is why anybody at the Pentagon will tell you you don't want to get into a ground conflict with the TriComs because they've got millions they could lose.
Gladly, fewer people to feed.
Two million two hundred and eighty-five thousand soldiers, easily the largest army in the world, and we're gonna send twenty, five hundred U.S. troops to Australia to show that Chicoms we mean business.
Meanwhile, everybody in a news media is still laughing about what an ignoramus Herman Kane is when it comes to foreign policy.
You imagine if Herman Cain had announced this as part of 999, we're gonna send 2500 U.S. troops to Australia, and we're gonna show to Chicoms that we mean business, we can't be laughing themselves and him out of the race.
With Obama, it's wow.
Are we so fortunate to be surrounded by such intelligence?
You know how you can tell that Newt Gingrich is at the top of the slate.
That's not, you don't need polling day, they just need to look at the media coverage.
You just need to look at the media coverage.
You move on to the Republican primaries, Newt is rising so fast in the polls that the media is trying to tie him to Freddie Mack.
The Democrats are they love Freddie Mac.
They've bailed out Freddie Mack.
They've done everything they can to keep Freddie Mac going.
Executives at Freddie Mac are going to be paid a hundred million dollars in bonuses while Freddie Mac needs another six billion dollar bailout.
That's where the Occupy Wall Street crowd should have been all along, but they don't care about that as when government's spending the money, they're all for it.
So Newt is now under assault because he has ties to Freddie Mack.
The darlings of the media, the darlings of the Democrat Party, the darlings of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
In fact, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were both left out of the financial regulatory reform bill.
There were no reforms instituted against Freddie Mack and Fannie Mae.
All of these financial regulatory reforms aimed at the financial business.
Guess what?
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac exempted.
So Newt consulted for them.
And all of a sudden now, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack may as well be guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Profound inconsistency here.
Now, for the record, Newt has already responded to the accusations about his role in Freddie Mac a number of times.
I think he's even mentioned it during the debates.
He said that he was hired as a consultant.
But that's that's a crime now.
If you look at the headlines, you'll get the news stories.
Newt being a consultant to Fannie Mae is a crime.
Even though they love Fannie Mae.
Even that they want Fannie Mae to sustain it.
They want Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to stay alive and kicking.
Newt consults him, and all of a sudden, Newt's filthy, Newt's dirty, newts tainted.
And of course, what they're really going after is the fact that Newt's a hypocrite because the Republicans think that Fannie Mae Freddie Mac are problems, but there's Newt taking money from him.
Well, Newt says that he told them that the housing market was a bubble that was about to burst.
He told them that they were making a mistake, handing out loans to people who couldn't afford them.
Newt says he told them what they were doing wrong and what they needed to fix it, and he did get his consultancy fee for it.
If all that's true, it's a shame they didn't listen to him.
It doesn't matter what they paid him.
It was good advice.
Certainly better advice than what they've gotten from their own...
Wildly overpaid executives.
Certainly better advice than they've gotten from Obama.
And then there's this new book.
This is from the Huffing and Puffington Post or Puffington Ho.com, whatever it is.
New book says Newt Gingrich bought off his wife to stay in the race.
A new e-book on the 2012 election released Friday says that Newt Gingrich went on an ill-timed cruise to Greece this year and spent over a million dollars in jewelry at Tiffany's to buy off his reluctant wife Callista so that she wouldn't object to his running for president.
Now the book doesn't cite named sources, but why should it?
The politico does it either.
Anonymous sources, anonymous facts, anonymous details, now make up the bulk of reporting in the state control media.
Now a new one, an e-book.
For those of you in Rio Linda, an e-book is uh is a book that you would read on a Kindle.
That may not help.
Uh is a book that you would read on an iPad.
Uh is a book that you would read on an iPod touch.
Forget it.
I'm talking about reading.
What am I what am I doing here?
Reading in real and I'm sorry, folks.
It's a waste.
Anyway.
The book does not cite name sources.
The Gingrich campaign immediately dismissed the sniping from former campaign officials.
Several of Gingrich's top former advisors now work for Perry.
The book from Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon raises the question of whether Gingrich's former aides were talking to Perry before they left in June.
The Perry aides deny the accusation.
Apparently Perry was trying to siphon Newt's staffers before Newt went on the cruise.
The name of the e-book is Election 2012.
The battle begins.
It doesn't offer evidence that current Perry advisors, Dave Carney and Rob Johnson left Newt because Perry had begun to express interest in running himself, but the question lingers.
No evidence.
No, of course, but there is no evidence.
Book doesn't offer any evidence, but the question lingers.
The vitriol expressed for Callista Gingrich in the e-book is intense.
The sentiments have been aired before.
What's new is the lengths to which Gingrich's former aides go to trash Callista Gingrich.
One campaign strategist told the two authors, Callista is the single worst influence on a candidate I've ever seen.
Same Source said that Gingrich bought a necklace, reportedly worth six figures to buy Callista off so that she would acquiesce to a presidential run.
Gingrich's ex-aides and the former House Speaker from Georgia ignored their advice not to go on the luxury cruise to the Greek Islands in late May because he feared damage to or even the loss of his marriage to Callista.
In Newt's mind, it was the cruise or his marriage, and he didn't want to get married a fourth time.
That a source identified by Cannon and Bevan as a person with knowledge of the discussions.
So you can tell now that Newt's at the top.
It just no evidence.
The questions linger.
The Fanny and Freddie stuff.
He's he has answered for the Faye and Freddie stuff.
He's got to do better than saying he can.
Right.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Look, I'm not here to defend it.
Do not misunderstand it.
I am I am I am your humble reporter digesting all the filth and trash that's out there about all of our candidates.
I'm sifting through it, and I am then transmitting it, retransmitting it to you.
Next week, another similar project.
Another similar e-book will get off the ground when the first of four 2012 e-books by Politico's Mike Allen and former Newsweek editor at large Evan Thomas will go on sale.
Allen and Thomas's book is being edited by former Newsweek editor-in-chief John Meekham and is being published by Random House.
Meanwhile, Newsweek is about 12 pages every issue.
And these guys are no longer there.
At any rate, okay, so Newt gets a million dollars from Fannie Mae and Fannie Mae.
Gets a million to consult.
And he says, he told them what they were doing wrong.
They didn't listen to him.
Well, yeah, that's a good point.
I I told you all for free.
I did.
I did.
I've been telling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack everything in the world to do right.
Nobody's paid me.
Oh, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac haven't paid me.
That's.
A million dollars over eight years was Newt's deal, by the way.
Boy, you are you are really sniping.
You are really sniping.
Newt's deal with Freddie Mac was for a million dollars over eight years.
Uh, okay, I just a warning for those of you on the uh on the phone today, Snerdley's loaded for bear.
My guess is if you want to call and talk about Newt, I'll never see you today.
This e-book that I quoted, election 2012, The Battle Begins by Perry Advisors Dave Carney and Rob Johnson.
It really is, if you I haven't read it all, obviously, but what I've uh what I've read, it really seems to be a huge hit piece on his wife, on Newt's wife, Callista.
That's really what this is.
I always thought it.
I thought one of the most sacred tenets of modern journalism is you're supposed to leave the wives out of it.
Really?
And Callista not doing anything.
I mean, she's just she's not inserting herself in any way.
She's not out there talking about policy.
She's not talking about arugula and steak and then telling lies about food deserts and this kind of stuff.
Uh she just, you know, she shows up and smiles, and that's about it.
And uh yet this this hit piece, this book obviously aimed at her, and it's clear too, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that the uh the target of this smear, actually, in terms of voters, is the Tea Party.
What I mean is that trying to influence a Tea Party with negative vibes about Newt.
And they've got some ammo.
I mean, we can, if we want to, we can go back and get all the stories where Newt has done things which are not conservative.
The couch deal with Pelosi, saying the era of Reagan is over.
I mean, Newt was one of the early Republicans to say that.
Uh, and he eventually retracted it.
So that's the but but the larger point is you don't need a poll to tell you who's hot in the Republican primary side.
Whoever is hot is hit.
It's a full-fledged take them out media approach.
And the only guy who is immune to this is Mitt Romney.
Mitt is not hit.
They're saving that up for later.
It was Herman Cain, it was Sarah Palin before Herman Cain.
It was Michelle Bachman when she won the Iowa straw poll.
They think they've taken Herman Cain out.
They're still hitting Herman Cain.
And now they've moved on to Newt.
And if somebody comes along replaces Newt at the top in the polling data, you won't need the polling data to know.
You'll just have to see who it is the media's decided to take out along our side next.
Say, folks, a quick question.
Do we ever get stories on gift Ted Kennedy bought for his wife over the uh over the years?
We we didn't.
Did we ever get stories about what Bill Clinton bought for his wife over the years?
Well, in one way, yeah, you could say that it cost Clinton a lot.
In fact, Newt Newt's getting off cheap.
Hillary got health care.
Callista got something from Tiffany.
It just depends on your perspective on these things.
But my point is, Kobe Bryant, he went out, he had to buy a big giant ring.
You think Newt's the only husband in politics has ever had to go out and do something like this?
And by the way, if there's no re what is wrong with buying your wife something from Tiffany.
What is wrong with that?
Why is that a problem?
The only difference is Newt bought it with his own money.
Democrats never buy gifts with their own money.
They always use ours.
But why are why is there a guilt trip here to be associated with going out and buying your wife something at Tiffany and company.
Or taking her on a cruise.
What what what is the crime there?
What what is the Well, I know the cruise was the timing of the cruise because he was in the middle of presidential campaign and so forth, but uh I just think all of these double standards uh that exist, these efforts here to criminalize things when in fact what everybody ought to be looking at is this in all candor, this Occupy stuff, this is we're witnessing a nation in great decline.
The Sandusky stuff at Penn State.
I mean, we're we're looking everywhere you look, folks, you see things that make you queasy, angry, filled with apprehension, angst, unease, whatever.
This Occupy stuff, that's directly traceable to the White House.
The White House, Obama personally, personally, not just orchestrated these things, he created the mindset.
All of this class envy running around creating all this hatred in people's minds for the achievers in our society, the successful in our society.
Uh I I think all of this, the shootings, the drugs, the squalor, the filth, everything associated with Occupy Wall Street, you can trace it right back to the White House.
They got what they wanted.
Barack Obama was the inspiration for the Occupy movement.
More on that as the program unfolds.
I want to move on to the super committee.
Have a couple of stories here on the super committee.
The Republicans and Democrats who have until next Thursday, a week from tomorrow, or I guess it's today, to come to a deal, or else, as it always is, it's Armageddon for the United States economy.
First up is a story here from the Hill.com.
Democrats gain upper hand in deficit reduction negotiations.
And I just want to tell you that this story.
Everything in this story is confirmation.
What we've been saying here from the get-go on this.
This whole supercommittee thing has been an obvious trap.
It's almost.
If I didn't know better, I would have to think the Republican leadership wanted it.
Because this way they can tell a Tea Party types that they have to raise taxes to avoid destroying the military, which nobody in their mind wants.
Nobody wants the military to be destroyed.
Not even the liberal Leon Panetta wants that.
Now here's this story.
Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry said yesterday that Democrats will block Republican efforts to torpedo cuts to the Pentagon should the Supercommittee on Deficit Reduction fail.
Dingy Harry's threat is yet another signal that Democrats are preparing for a supercommittee flop and are largely comfortable with the cuts that would be triggered if there is no bipartisan agreement.
As Republican leaders vow that failure is not an option, Dingy Harry growing increasingly pessimistic and already looking ahead to the consequences of missing next week's November 23rd deadline.
Now, you have to know how to read this stuff.
In the Hill.com, pessimistic means giddily optimistic.
This is exactly what they want.
They want no deal.
They want no deal, and they wouldn't care $500 billion in defense cuts, fine and dandy with the Democrats as they're constituted today.
And the Republicans being blamed for it, why icing on the cake.
This has always been the plan.
This whole supercommittee deal was Harry Reed's idea from the start.
And he fully intended things to turn out this way.
In fact, if you doubt me, let me give you another piece of evidence.
Now, if they've got you on the edge of your seat out there, if you are waiting for, if you are hoping for, if you are expecting some grand compromise at the last minute from this supercommittee.
Keep something in mind.
The man who has the most to lose from a compromise is a Democrat.
David Axelrod.
David Pluff, the two guys behind Obama.
The brains behind the Obama re-election campaign.
The last thing they want is a Congress that does anything because they're running against the do nothing Congress.
So if a deal is struck here that everybody gets giddy about, starts applauding, and they see what we did when we worked together, we came together, we can come up with a deal, both sides compromise, the country moves forward.
That's the last thing that the Obama campaign wants.
Because then they would have a do something Congress.
They don't want to do something Congress.
They need a do-nothing Congress.
What'd they tell us that that campaign spending?
What's total Obama campaign spending going to be?
Billion?
All right.
All right, then they're putting a billion dollars behind no deal.
A billion dollars is what the campaign is spending is going to be, and the campaign theme is a do-nothing Congress.
Well, if this Congress comes up and does something here at the last minute, it blows the whole campaign.
It blows a billion dollars.
That would be a huge waste of money.
Back to the Hill.com story.
The dynamic has Democrats saying that they have the upper hand in the negotiations.
With some liberals privately rooting for the sequestration cuts to be triggered.
Unless Republicans cave on tax increases, there's little reason for Democrats to strike a deal because sequestration does not call for structural reforms to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, only defense.
Automatic cuts to Medicare would be capped at 2%, limited to insurance companies and health care providers, while Social Security and Medicaid would be exempt.
But the Defense Department slated for $500 billion in cuts if the Supercommittee doesn't produce a deal with at least $1.2 trillion in spending reductions.
So there is literally no part of the Democrats for there to be a deal.
All the while, this is being presented as Democrats eager, willing, ready to compromise, but these rascally Republicans, they are fighting over tax increases.
They don't want tax increases.
They don't want the rich to pay their fair share.
They don't want any more money coming into Washington.
Never mind the fact that the Republicans have proposed all kinds of tax reform.
They have proposed alternatives to the Bush tax cuts being extended.
They have proposed tax rate reductions that have been scored with increases or as increases, total increases in revenue to the Treasury.
All rejected.
But that isn't being reported.
What's being reported is the Republicans are being obstinate.
They will not deal, they won't talk, they won't raise taxes.
The real question is raise revenue.
The Republicans have all kinds of proposals that they have put forth involving tax reform that would raise revenue.
All of them have been rejected.
Paul Ryan was even on Fox this morning saying this and pointing it out.
Fox reporter said, Well, aren't the Republicans I was struck, I was driving in, I'm listening to Fox on a radio criminal and the uh Fox uh reporter, I don't know who it was.
I wasn't watching, so I couldn't tell who the voice belonged to.
Question, well, aren't the Republicans going to propose anything?
And Paul Ryan said, what do you mean?
We proposed detailed the various proposals that they put forth that have been rejected.
Nobody knows about it.
Hasn't been reported.
Republicans don't know how to do PR.
They think that the mainstream media won't report it, so they don't make any effort to get it out.
It has been out there for a month at least.
One of these proposals, well, all of them have been floating out there in one form or another for a month.
But you don't have a story from the Hill.com about that.
You don't have a story from any Washington publication, politico, you name it, on the Republican reform proposals involving the tax code that would generate more revenue.
The Democrats are stuck on tax increases, which will reduce revenue to the Treasury, will kill job creation, will create more of the idiocy that we are living with now.
But in the end, they don't want a deal.
Here from the Washington Post by Anne Kornblut.
And this is from yesterday.
Obama regime quietly bracing for debt supercommittee failure.
Yeah, what that means is the regime is quietly planning a celebration.
If the so-called supercommittee fails to reach an agreement, Obama's entire re-election strategy is to blame Congress for not producing legislation that he wants.
That will create jobs, that will reduce the deficit, all this smoke and mirror stuff, all these lies coming out of the White House.
Obama's entire strategy is no deal.
That equals a do-nothing Congress.
Legislation that will drive the country further into debt and put billions into the pockets of public sector union campaign donors and foot soldiers.
That's what Obama wants.
And if Republicans don't bend to greater spending demands, the president has an entire campaign strategy to accuse them of being a do-nothing Congress.
And the Republicans, all they have to do to fall into the trap is have no deal.
Obama's praying for supercommittee failure.
His one billion dollar campaign requires it.
Now, this article by Ann Kornblut is either naive or she's a highly skilled liar, partisan liar.
You roll the dice yourself on that.
White House officials quietly bracing for supercommittee failure, with advisors privately saying they're pessimistic that the panel will find a way to cut spending of $1.2 trillion.
Public, however.
The official administration stance is that failure's not an option.
That's a lie.
Not only is failure not an option, failure is the goal.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
We are here at the Distinguished and Prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Public policy polling liberal polling group out of North Carolina has just released a poll that shows most Americans now side with the Tea Party, not with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
That's why Occupy Wall Street's being disbanded.
That's why the mayors got their phone calls.
That's why they had their collusion phone call, and that's why the protesters are being moved out.
The only place the protesters from what I gather are surviving is Santa Cruz.
They just don't have the guts to move.
No nobody wants to go in there and catch the lice and the scobies or whatever the I never heard of this before.
Scobbies SCE scabbies, whatever this disease that's floating around is nobody wants to go there just leave it them alone.
Scabies, whatever I never heard of it until now.
My uh all I ever heard about was gongaria.
Never heard of this one.
Doesn't matter nobody wants to go in there and catch it in Santa Cruz Public policy polling.
Occupy Wall Street favor fading the dirty diddle secret was it was never big there was never a public romance with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Occupy Wall Street.
You want to know what Obama did before he became anything else?
A community organizer?
This was it.
This is community organizing.
It's not the backbone of America, thank God, that was gathered in these tent cities.
You know, like I said yesterday, you've got to be good on TV to make it in American politics.
And those people blew it.
There's not one of them that looked any decent on Tim.
My God, the human debris.
It was an endless parade of human debris.
Every Occupy encampment was nothing but that.
that human debris on parade there was never any public romance with it.
There was never any public enthrall with it people looked at this with shock and awe in their in their faces.
Oh my God Hoping and praying that this was not the country they want us to believe that there was some sort of affection for these people Yeah you ask them what you wanted and that was a disaster they couldn't tell you they half of them didn't know why they were there other than free meals,
free drugs, free sex, and maybe some camera time you think of course it's the 60s of course the 60s as I pointed out they were really protesting something in the 60s 60s they were being drafted and sent off to a war that nobody wanted to fight what's got them agitated this time supposedly is student loans I'm sorry but the two just don't have any congruence protesting being sent off to die
in a foreign country versus a student alone that's in arrears, I'm sorry, doesn't say a whole lot for the current generation.
Wuss, wimps, whining little...
Really, in other words, this is what everybody always saw them as.
Some Democrats, the regime, they held out hope that this movement would be publicly adopted and understood as representing the country and upset at Bush and Wall Street but they blew it because liberalism is a minority in this country is a minority of thinking liberalism in order to have power has to govern against the will of the people which is what this regime of the Democrat Party in Congress has done it ain't gonna fly.
It isn't flying so now with the public policy polling data coming out talking about how all of a sudden now all of a sudden there's been a shift shift my shrinking rear end shift my there has never been any public support in a majority basis for Occupy Wall Street but now they got the polling oh, oh, oh no.
Most Americans now side with the Tea Party.
Okay, call Bloomberg.
Shut it down.
Call uh call up in Portland, shut it down.
Call them up.
Get them on the phone.
I'm still not through with this super committee stuff either.
I got one more story on that to share with you.
So I got my letter yesterday, folks.
New York State auditing my taxes for 08, 09, and 10.
And I haven't worked in New York any of those years.
