Time Text
I just got a note.
Uh, ladies, I didn't see it myself.
I just got a note here.
That the cops somewhere have bloodied up an occupier.
Which is what the occupieds have been hoping for for two months.
They wanted the cops to bloody them up.
So some poor occupier schlub of human debris has indeed been bloodied up somewhere.
Look for that photo all over the place.
It'll be expanded all over the place too.
Um, let's see.
Yep, found somebody with blood on them on PMS NBC.
Bulldozers have been brought in to clear up the filth.
Now I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was not blood on the occupier on MSNBC, but rather ketchup or stage blood.
Whatever is uh whatever is used.
So, um I think this is it's it's getting serious now.
These people have not gotten what they wanted out of this.
They haven't gotten the man to act in ways that would create sympathy for the occupiers.
The occupiers have uh been the sole recipients of derision.
So they have um they have wanted to uh turn that around and had to fake blood on an occupier, they'd do it.
The bulldozers are in Berkeley, the bulldozers cleaning the filth out of occupy Berkeley.
Anyway, uh welcome back.
Great to have you here.
El Rushbo, serving humanity simply by showing up.
You know, this story, you know, you all are infuriated by the occupiers, and I I totally understand this.
But this next story makes me livid on a number of levels.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Kymoon called on world leaders Monday to collaborate in financing a multi-billion dollar fund to combat global warming.
Does Mr. Bancai Moon not understand that the world now knows, at least America now knows, that this whole global warming thing is a manufactured left-wing hoax.
Does he not know we don't have the money?
Nobody has any money.
There are no developed nations that have the kind of money that Ban Kymoon wants for his precious hoax.
He was speaking at a conference in Bangladesh.
And the UN Secretary General said that global efforts must be taken to establish a 100 billion dollar green climate fund dedicated to taming the damaging effects of climate change, and that the global economic crisis should not hinder such efforts.
The aim of this conference is to get the nations who are disproportionately affected by climate change, the most vulnerable nations to come together and speak with one voice.
Climate change is real and it is affecting us now.
We live with floods, we live with climate refugees, rising salinity in our coastal areas, and with the impact of rising sea levels.
do not.
That last was stated by the Environment Secretary of Bangladesh, Mezbaul Alam.
Delegates at a climate change conference beginning November 28th in Durban, South Africa, are to consider options to raise $100 billion a year for this slush fund, which was established last December to aid countries reportedly most affected by climate change.
Governments must find ways now to mobilize resources up to the $100 billion per annum pledged.
Said Ben Khymoon.
An empty shell is not sufficient.
They think we have a hundred billion dollars just sitting around.
We don't have a hundred billion.
We are we just hit 15 trillion dollars in debt.
But beyond that, there is no global warming.
There are no rising sea levels, there's no increased salinity.
There's none of this.
It isn't, there isn't even any warming, much less man-made.
Look at this.
The entire world economy is about to be wiped out.
We're on the verge of it.
Take a look at Europe, and we're headed that way.
Folks, it is a real possibility.
Our economy could collapse.
That's what's so frustrating to us is that members of our own party don't even see that.
Members of our own party just see the constant ebb and flow of politics.
Obama's a Democrat.
Ergo, he must lose.
Not Obama is destroying the U.S. economy.
Oh, no, no, no.
Not successive to say Rush.
But of course we'd rather be in power ourselves.
Really, really intemperate to say Obama's destroying Obama.
Well, he is.
He's destroying the future.
He is destroying the economic present.
Collapse is a real possibility.
It is a real possibility in Europe.
Entire world economies could be wiped out, and this UN moon pie is calling on the very countries about to go under for a hundred billion dollars over another hoax.
Which is exactly the purpose of the UN to fleece people.
The United Nations exists.
The United Nations is a larger version of Obama.
Right into this little slush fund called the UN.
$100 billion, ostensibly to save the planet, goes right to the UN, right into the best redistributor of wealth ever created, and you take a look who's going to get the money, all the money, take a look at all the money that's been spent given to the UN for decades to help poverty and all these other so-called human maladies, and they still exist, don't they?
In the same places.
Poor nations are still poor.
Poor people in poor nations are still poor.
The leaders of those nations are making out like bandits.
Guess who gets the money?
So I'll tell you what this is.
They make a last ditch effort here to get the last money they might see in a long while.
And they're thinking that everybody just gonna bust open the piggy bank and give it to them.
They know.
This Ban Kymoon guy, he knows the score.
He knows that there isn't a hundred billion dollars laying around in all these countries.
So it's one last effort to try to get it because he knows he's got a bunch of liberal governments in power.
One last effort to get it before the legitimate chance runs out.
Disproportionately affected countries from global warming.
Why not?
Scams work in the past, but I'll tell you now, hit up the Chicoms.
They're the big polluters.
Well, if that's what you want to do, make the Chicoms come up with 99 billion of this.
They're the big polluters anymore.
Everything the UN ever calls for is always just another way for them to skim some money for themselves.
Look at oil for food.
All these UN children's food programs.
What is it?
I wonder why when I went around Halloween when I was a kid.
What was the United UNICEF?
Every kid ought to be a fat slob by now.
Well, the money's been collected for UNICEF.
And then all you got all the satellite programs, the Sally Fields out there, or Sally Sally, what's her face?
Uh from all of the family.
Sally Struthers, all the everybody out there.
$25 will feed a child for 10 years.
Fine, here's the $25.
They come back to us next year, kids hungry again.
There ought not be, if the if if the money that's been donated to this outfit were actually equally fairly distributed.
There shouldn't have, there shouldn't be any problem here.
Anywhere.
They're just a giant skim operation.
UN makes our Congress look like a bunch of grafters.
It's a bunch of amateurs at grafting.
Okay, hey, folks.
Um couple things here about two if by T. By the way, we have a competitor.
We have a competitor.
Where?
What's a five?
Oh, cool, cool.
Well, we'll get to that call here in just a second.
Um, but we've got our winners.
We got our four grand prize winners for the trip to Hawaii.
We've um we've chosen them.
Uh it was a phenomenal success.
I uh I don't want to give you the number.
We blew the the the lid off or the roof off.
And I we want to thank each of you who participated.
We we're not going to um uh uh invade their privacy and announce the winners on the air until we get their approval.
Uh when we if we if if we do get their approval, we'll put their names on the air.
The winners have been chosen.
They will be contacted in the next little while about their big trip to Hawaii, and they get to take it when they want.
It's not up to when we tell them they have to take it.
That's right.
You don't have to say but most winners, okay, you've got to take it between November 1st and 2nd this year.
Otherwise, trips off.
We don't do it that way.
We'll work with you whenever you can get away is when you'll go.
So there are four of those grand prizes, and the other winners have been chosen as well.
Now, we're announcing something else today.
If you are uh we got a little gift area at uh two if by tea, if you're looking for unique gifts for somebody in your life who is a genuine patriot.
Look no further because two if by tea is launching a limited edition premium patriotic gift set today.
It's a gift set that not your run-of-the-bill gift set.
It's uh not a pair of socks, it's not a pair of underwear, it's not a patriotic tie.
Uh none of that.
Our gift set includes two very high quality mugs with a rush revere on one side and a brilliant quote, a patriotic quote on the other side.
And I proudly say all this because I was part of the design team.
One mug says the liberals are coming.
Another mug says, Oh, say can you tea.
And in honor of Ronaldus Magnus, there's also a bag of red, white, and blue jelly beans in cherry, coconut, and blueberry flavors included with the mugs.
I don't have I've got one of the mugs here, but I'm not drinking out of it.
I was going to show it up here in just a second.
Right in there and grab it, Snerdly, because I've got a I've got a mug here that I can show you.
But it's a genuine, decent quality, big-sized mug with the Rush Revere logo on one side and the and the uh the slogans on the other.
And best of all, the mugs and the jelly beans are made and packed right here in the United States, made in the USA.
Do you know do you know how hard it is to find a mug made in America these days?
It is not easy.
But we here at Two If By Tea have found one, and which it's a great quality.
I'm just turned off the ditto cam, and I'm gonna zoom in, zoom in here in just a second, show you this thing.
Okay.
There it is.
There's the mug with the uh Rush Revere on one side.
And then you turn it around, and this is the one that says, oh, say can you tea.
And then there's another mug with a different different saying.
But that's the rush.
This is a prototype.
But it looks the real one looks just look how big that is.
It's a genuine bug, it's solid.
You can't break the thing.
Uh well, I mean, you threw it up against the wall, you could, but it's uh made in America.
So if your friends, your family, or even enemies.
Don't like to drink actual tea.
We've solved that problem.
You can enjoy whatever you want to drink in the morning, coffee, anything else, these very cool mugs.
There's a limited quantity of these things.
We've got them for the holiday seasons.
A hurry go to WW2IfByT.com, or always you can call our call center at 866-662-1776 to uh to purchase.
So you'll no, that's the no, no, it's not expensive at all, snurdly, and it's it's all you see it's all spelled out there at the twoif by tea.com.
Perfect, perfect little gift item uh for whatever else you're thinking of, gift-wise this holiday season.
Okay, quick time out, and we will be back and continue here In just a moment, folks.
Do not go away.
We go back to the phones to San Ramon, California.
This is Ray, and I'm glad you waited, sir.
Hello.
Yes, thanks for the great show, Rush.
Uh, I called about uh the um graduates moving back with their parents, but I quickly have to thank you.
Um as a charter member of the Rush uh newsletter, you once told us to make a sign that says this man is lying to you to tape to our TV sets whenever Bill Clinton was talking.
Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
And that I pulled that sign out of uh out of uh an old box I had, and uh I'm able to reuse it when Obama is talking, but I'm also able to use this sign whenever uh Rachel Manow, uh Joy Behart and Rosie O'Donnell are talking.
Practically anybody on the left speaks up it's applicable.
There you go, that this man is lying to me.
Now, uh I need your help on this, Professor.
Um we're told by the Democrats and the Congoline media that uh 26 year olds remaining on their parents' health care plan is a good thing.
So why isn't it good for 26-year-olds to remain on their parents' cable plan as well?
Now this is an interesting question.
Uh what what Ray here is reacting to is a story earlier today in the New York Times I told you about, lamenting the fact it's by um uh Catherine Rampell, and it's it's about college graduates who are returning home to live with mom and dad.
Not buying their own mops, not renting their own apartments, not hiring somebody to come hang and frame their diploma, not buying their own crockery, not buying their own house, not renting their own apartment, uh not establishing households, not growing the economy, oh it's horrible.
And what Ray here is pointing out, but wait, but wait, it's okay if they stay on their parents' health care plan, then what's so wrong about a moving home and staying with their parents' cable and using their parents' mop and their parents' crockery and their parents' phone.
It's a great question, Ray.
It's an absolute great question.
I would say that you probably in it in a in a logical question, you've nailed them.
But of course, the health care debate has nothing to do with logic.
And so the point is health care is so expensive.
It's so, so, so expensive.
So the idea that young kids up till age twenty-six can stay on their parents' policy, whether they live with them or not, is supposed to entice those young people to appreciate whoever offers that opportunity and then vote Democrat.
It's a vote buying scam.
It's a vote buying technique.
Cable's expensive, but not yes, it's yeah, it's in satellite TV, but not nearly as expensive as healthcare.
Not nearly, but then see the real contradiction here is for how how long have uh places like the New York Times been railing against consumerism?
Uh and and uh the the emptiness that one's life is if it's centered around consumerism.
Going out and buying things?
Who that that's so empty.
I mean, it's so meaningless.
Your life is oriented around consumers.
Don't you have enough?
Isn't one cable box per house enough?
Why should a family split up with the kids going out getting their own cable box?
Isn't one enough?
This is what we've been treated.
So these what I what I love about your question is is that it illustrates the blatant utter hypocrisy of the left.
They've defined trickle down in this story, and they lament the fact that it isn't happening.
And yet, in another story in the same paper, you could see an article about how trickled down is bogus, it doesn't happen, it's nothing more than a Republican trick.
It doesn't really exist.
And yet in the same paper is a story lamenting there isn't any going on.
But it's a great question.
It's a great question.
If it's perfectly fine to stay on mom and dad's health care, why not mom and dad's cable bill?
Why not mom and dad's electric bill.
In fact, why ever move out?
Why ever?
Thanks, Ray.
Ken in Lewisburg, North Carolina.
Hi, welcome to the program.
Rush, I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket today.
Because you got through and are on the program?
Uh yes, sir.
I've been listening since uh 1997, and I've never gotten anything but a busy signal.
And I just uh called today because uh my mom.
Can I say her name?
Yeah, go ahead.
Betty All Rand.
Oh, she's gonna die.
She's just gonna die.
But um, she she asked me what I want for my birthday, and I told her to order me some two if by tea, and I got two cases, one case raspberry, one case regular.
I tried my first uh first bottle last night raspberry, and I gotta tell you, I'm not a guy that likes uh uh any flavoring in my tea.
I I like the flavor of tea, and I tried it because my wife wanted to try it with me, and she likes fruit and her tea.
But uh the raspberry in there is not like a fruit always tastes like you're trying to mask the taste of of the tea to me.
Very clever.
Very fresh and very crisp.
It was uh you were able to taste the tea, in other words, along with the raspberry.
That's I am so thrilled to hear you say that because in our months and months of tasting, one of their one of the requirements we gave ourselves was that we're not gonna turn these flavored teas into fruit juices.
They're gonna be tea.
They're gonna be you're gonna be able to taste the tea no matter what fruit flavor we add.
And so you have you have made my day here.
You have confirmed.
Uh I want you to hang on here during the break.
I want to ask you a couple questions when we get back, but you have confirmed that we're doing the right thing here.
That's great.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Okay, and we're back to Ken in Lewisburg, North Carolina, and and Ken, I just I wanted to thank you again uh for for confirming.
There's nothing fruity about two if by tea.
The raspberry flavor is there and it's delicious.
Uh but you can still taste the tea, and that is the point, and we've got a couple new flavors coming, and it's gonna be true of them too.
I can't wait to try them.
Um just very excited to talk to you, I'm a little bit nervous.
I can't on all days to get through to you, it was on my birthday.
This is just amazing.
This is uh I'll have to remember my 35th birthday for being able to talk to Rush.
You are 35 today?
Yes, sir.
35 years old.
Well, I tell you, you know, that that's uh I tell what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna I'm gonna take your name, let's startly give your name and address, and when these new flavors hit, I'm gonna send you some of the two new flavors.
Oh, you're kidding.
That would be awesome.
And we'll send you a couple cases each uh of of the two new flavors, and uh you'll be one of the first to uh to get them.
We go into production on them fairly soon.
I cannot wait.
Uh Rush, can I can I hit touch on one more thing?
Yeah, what is it?
You had a caller earlier that uh wanted to know what he could do to basically protest the uh the protesters, uh the uh the occupiers.
Right.
And I feel for him, I understand where he's coming from, but it dawned on me that that I protest them every day by getting up and going to work and doing the very best I can for my family and trying to better my own economic situation.
So my suggestion to him is to uh to do that in protest.
Well, that's great advice.
Success is its own best revenge.
And uh it's uh it's it's also you're frig when you do that, you're forgetting about them.
I just ignore them is the that's the best thing anybody could do.
So, Ken, remember now hang on, Snerty will get information for us to send a couple new flavors when they come out.
I'm not sure when it's gonna be.
It's not next week or anything like that, but we won't forget.
When they hit, when they drop, you'll be among the uh the first recipients.
Thanks much.
What is this?
Uh according to CNN.
The man accused of firing shots near the White House will be charged with attempting to assassinate the president or a member of his staff.
This ought to take a guy.
Apparently will be trust according to CNN, so you might want to wait and have this really confirmed.
But apparently, man accused of firing shots near the White House will be charged with attempting to assassinate the president or a member of his staff.
Now there's a story in the New York Post today about this.
Troubled Idaho man, believed to have been lurking for weeks in Washington and hiding with Occupy D.C. protesters, was arrested yesterday for allegedly firing an assault rifle at the White House and cracking a window near the president's bedroom.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega Hernandez, 21, has an arrest record in three states.
Was described as mentally ill and obsessed with the White House.
A law enforcement official told the Washington Post he hates the president, he hates Washington, he hates society.
The Secret Service, Capitol Police, U.S. Park Police, and other law enforcement agencies launched a manhunt after gunfire was heard near the National Mall across the street from the White House Friday night.
Ortega Hernandez's car was found abandoned nearby with an AK-47 and empty shell casings inside.
Yesterday, investigators disclosed that two bullet holes were found in the White House.
One of them cracked the window's exterior historical glass, but was stopped by reinforced ballistic glass.
He refused to say where the holes were, but officials could be seen taking photos of a window at the second floor yellow oval room, which is adjacent to the living quarters.
Investigators suspect Ortega Hernandez had been in the Washington area for weeks, blending in with Occupy DC protesters and repeatedly visiting the mall.
But Ortega Hernandez has no known radical links.
He has been arrested several times, including for domestic violence and assaulting a cop and a history of mental illness, but no known radical links.
What is this no known radical links?
He was living with Occupy D.C. What the hell are those people?
If somebody who never went to a Tea Party rally, Jared Lochner was pushed to shoot Gabrielle Gifford's by the Tea Party, then this crazy sure as heck had his hatred for government ginned up by hanging around these Occupy lunatics for weeks.
Gerald Lochner never got anywhere near a Tea Party, never never got anywhere near Sarah Palin website or a Rush Limbaugh website or radio show.
Yet we were blamed for inspiring this guy.
This guy hangs around with Occupy Wall Street people who are out there protesting everything, and they say, no, no, there's no connection here.
No known links to uh uh radicals.
He's just been hanging around a bunch of radicals for weeks now.
There's also a college Republican chick in Texas.
They're all over her for saying not to shoot Obama as tempting as it may be, quote unquote.
Now that's stupid, but they had people calling for the Bush assassination in books and in movies, and they were calling that art and literature that we should expose ourselves to to learn about the rage that exists out there.
And we've had a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Betty Williams, told a bunch of school kids, right now I would love to kill George Bush.
And that was all okay.
Now we've got this guy that comes out of Occupy DC.
He's lurking in there for weeks.
No known link to radicals.
Let's bend over backwards to say that Occupy D.C. had nothing to do with influencing this guy's mentally ill, of course.
Yeah, nothing to do.
No, Occupy D.C. totally innocent.
But all these other people, Jared Lochner, yeah, he was he was manipulated by Sarah Paler Rush Limbaugh at a tea party.
Cindy Sheehan said she wished she could kill Bush.
She was a media darling.
Oh, Ortega was not listening to the other protesters like Obama never heard Jeremiah Wright.
Is that what we're going to be told?
Okay.
Fine.
Meanwhile, Zuccati Park protester Nakut Nakruma Tinsley has been arrested after threatening to burn down the city.
But why not arrest 50 of them?
I mean, he's not the only guy with winter looming labor unions fortify Occupy Camp.
Some of the country's most powerful unions are providing the infrastructure and amenities to keep the Occupy DC encampment fortified going into the winter.
Now, this is the same group, the same crowd that inspired this nut, accused of firing his assault rifle at the White House.
And here come the unions doing whatever's necessary to keep this group going.
Normal human beings wouldn't typically want to associate themselves with rapists, murderers, anarchists, and other mentally ill types.
So I guess Obama's favorite union has its reasons.
But normally you wouldn't want to associate with these kind of people.
Normally you wouldn't want to be in their midst.
But here comes the SEIU making it possible for them to hang around.
And I have no doubt that some of the money that the SEIU is using here is stimulus money in order to provide the amenities for Occupy DC.
It's Rush Lindbaugh and the EIB network.
We'll be back.
What did I think?
ZeroHedge.com.
There is a hedge fund that just shut down today.
A guy, I'm not going to mention the hedge fund because I I want to I want to get confirmation of this.
But the guy shuts down his hedge fund.
He says, I can't continue in good conscience to take clients' money and invest it in a rigged market.
He he said that this thing with Corzine's company, people do not know the real importance of what happened.
Corzine, let me find a line here.
A firm led by a crony of the Obama regime stole all of the non-margined cash held by customers of his firm.
Let's not sugarcoat this.
Or make this crime seem complex and abstract by drowning ourselves in six dollar words and Uber technical jargon.
John Corzine stole the customer cash at MF Global, knowing John Corzine and knowing the abject lawlessness and contempt for humanity of the Marxist Obama regime and its cronies, this is not really a surprise.
This market is rigged.
I I cannot, I cannot in good conscience put my customers' money in the commodities market.
This guy's closing down his hedge fund.
I'm not going to mention the name of the hedge fund here because, again, I want double, triple confirmation.
This is not...
Zero Hedges.
Is a is a is a qualified website.
It's a it's a credible, credible site blog.
But the letter from the hedge fund guy sounds particularly filled with vitriol.
But he's right about something.
Corzine was that firm, and the customers' money is gone, and it's like $600 million of it, and it's gone, and they're trying to get it back.
It's a miniature mat off in that sense.
And and and somebody did steal that money.
Somebody at that firm, which is now bankrupt, and 1,100 people are thereabouts have been laid off.
Somebody stole the client's money.
It is a big deal to a lot of people.
So I just I had that sent to me, and I looked at it.
I said, I'm not going to mention this yet.
I said, No, I'll go ahead and mention it.
I just won't mention the name of the outfit yet until we can confirm it.
But what?
Oh, you're reading about it.
What'd you go to Zero Hedge Fund if?
Yeah, okay.
So if you want to read about the Zero Hedge Fund, uh.com.
Yeah, Zero Zero Hedge.com.
And uh, and you'll find there.
Rodney, French Lick, Indiana.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Yeah.
I had an idea about fixing this economy, and I was wanting to know your thoughts on it.
All right.
What would happen if all this money that they gave to the banks and the auto and all this stimulus money, if they would have took it, invested in American people by giving them a low interest government loan to cure their bad debt, and then give them a mulligan on their credit, you know, their credit report.
Yeah.
Three their credit up.
Then that way people could go out and instead of doing buy here, pay here cars, renting houses, they could actually go out.
There's a better way of doing that.
Um there's a better way of accomplishment.
I look at I uh when I when I saw your call up there, I wanted to take the call.
Because it's uh it's interesting.
The m my instinct was to Yeah, okay, I can see that.
And then I had to catch myself.
This is how easy it is to get trapped into thinking these kinds of things work.
The government got us into this mess, and anything they do that involves any more intricacy is only going to make it worse.
To accomplish what you want, Rodney.
You give everybody a total tax holiday for a year.
But Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. Limbaugh, what's the government going to do with all that money?
You just skip you simply can't take that much money.
Mr. New Castrati, follow me on this.
We need to rebuild the economy.
We need to rebuild the private sector.
The government has taken too much money out of it.
The government's spending money we don't have anyway, Mr. New Castrati.
We have a budget deficit of four trillion dollars, Mr. New Castrati.
Cut that budget deficit in half by simply giving everybody a tax holiday, payroll savings, income, you name it, for a full year.
You let everybody keep every dollar they earn, every dime they earn, and you watch what happens.
You'll get out of the way for what will happen.
It's if the government's going to spend money, we can we can concoct our own definition of spending here.
They come up with their own cock eyed definitions of spending.
They call, for example, a tax cut spending.
Okay.
Well, we'll call a tax holiday spending.
Government spend they're gonna they're gonna they spend money they don't have anyway.
Let the people who earn it keep it.
You don't need to mess around with your credit rating or any of that, giving you a mulligan here, mulligan there.
The government shouldn't have that kind of power.
Anyway, you give the government that kind of power, you're gonna regret it.
You don't want to go there.
You just no taxes.
But Mr. Limbaugh, how does this benefit the 48% who aren't paying taxes at all?
What do they get?
Nothing.
They're already in on the deal, Mr. New Castrati.
They'll get a tax payroll holiday, because they're still paying their their their FICA taxes, but they're not paying any income tax, they're already in on the deal.
Somehow, Mr. Limited, this sounds like it's going to benefit the rich.
Everything is going to benefit the rich more than the poor.
There's no other way around it.
And you can't fix it with government action.
This is the this is the best thing you could do, in fact.
Let people keep every dollar they earn for a year.
You get out of the way, folks.
Oh, think about that.
Back after this.
We got shock poll results.
Rasmussen just out or soon to be out.
Iowa.
Gingrich 32, Romney 19, Kane 13 in Iowa.
Gingrich 32, Romney 19, Kane 13, latest Rasmussen, and we will see you open line Friday.
