Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think everything's ready here, making sure I've got.
I mean, I'm not used to this.
I'm not used to being battened down and ready to go when the show starts.
Usually things are still happening here.
Well, it's Friday.
Let's see.
Let's just start.
Let's go to the next live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, Sariba.
Great to have you with us, my friends, as we wrap up another busy broadcast week here at the Pinnacle of Media.
The pinnacle of conservatism.
The pinnacle of what's right.
Rush Limbaugh and open line Friday on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
This is a day that no other media titan, there really aren't any, would attempt.
I do it gladly.
I do it happily.
I do it eagerly.
And that is turn over the content portion of the program to rank amateurs.
People that want to occupy EIB.
Lovable rank amateurs, don't get me wrong, but let's face it, among all of us, I am the highly trained and uh with uh endowed with tremendous instincts uh broadcast specialist.
You uh are not.
You are the listeners.
Uh but when we go to the phones on Friday, you can talk about whatever you want.
You pretend it's your show, whatever you think needs to be said, discussed, questioned, have at it.
Telephone, I don't have to care about it, which is a rule Monday through Thursday.
If I don't care about it, then you don't stand a prayer.
But on Friday we throw that out.
And if you get through, the odds are uh you'll be approved by Mr. Snerdley and be placed in line.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Herman Cain in remarks yesterday ranked U.S. ally India with China as a rising threat to the United States in Asia.
Oh, well, what no, wait, wait, wait.
That was Leon Panetta that said that.
I'm sorry.
Uh yeah, Leon Leon Panetta said I'm I get Leon Pennett is, I guess, unqualified to be Secretary of Defense.
Leon Panetta in remarks yesterday ranked U.S. ally India with China as a rising threat to the United States and Asia.
The Pentagon quickly sought to roll back the remarks.
What Panetta actually said was we face uh threats and rising powers, China, India, others, that we have to always have sufficient force protection out there in the Pacific to make sure they know we're never going anywhere.
Now, if Herman Cain had said that, of course, he would be pronounced by many as unqualified.
Leon Panetta said it.
I wonder if they'll say the same thing about Leon Panetta being unqualified.
Global warming probably behind wild weather in New Jersey and elsewhere.
This is by Steven Sterling at the Newark Star Ledger and a market shift in climate science.
A group of top researchers said in a report released today that global warming may be responsible for an uptick in extreme weather events worldwide, comma.
A trend they say is likely to worsen in the coming century.
What whatever happened to that silly notion that weather isn't climate talking point?
Remember that.
They always when it was getting very, very cold in the summertime.
A year or two ago, people No, no, no, you're gonna know weather isn't climate.
The major, major differences, Mr. Limbaugh.
You can't that that the weather does not equal climate, and one cannot get an idea of global warming from whatever happens with the weather.
But now the weather is climate.
There are two stories on this today, by the way, on global warming.
Not just this report from the uh uh Newark Star Ledger, but but elsewhere.
I I need to get something off my chest or ask a question here.
You know, the New York Jets went to Denver last night, Thursday night football, and they lost to Tim Tebow and the Denver defense.
The Denver defense actually kept that game alive for Timo.
Tebow to uh produced the victory in the last uh minute or so of the game.
Now the Jets, not all of them, but Jim Leonard, who is uh one of the safeties, number 36, is complaining about the schedule.
Doesn't like Thursday games, hasn't ever liked games, doesn't think they're good for anybody other than for revenue generation, which he ought to care about because that's how they all get paid.
But something that I've always been amazed at, and yeah, you know, I'm a I'm a football uh aficionado, and I know as much about football as I do about politics and world affairs, culture, sociology, and all of that.
But one thing has always puzzled me about it, and that is coaches and players lamenting the arduous aspects of travel in the National Football League.
For example, the Jets had a Sunday night game, and then a quick turnaround and a Thursday night game in Denver.
And they're saying that shortened their prep time, it uh it upset the body clerks.
But really, what if the game had been in the Eastern time zone, it wouldn't have been that bad.
If the game had been uh scheduled within a two-hour flight from uh from New York, no problem, but they have to fly all the way across the country.
I don't know, and then it it gets even more curious than that.
Coaches and some players even lament Monday night games because it's a short week, especially if they have to go on the road for their next game.
As though travel in the National Football League is some arduous thing that has to be overcome.
What is so arduous about traveling once a week?
Major League Baseball teams are traveling constantly.
NBA teams are traveling constantly.
They are leaving after night games at two o'clock in the morning.
They're arriving where they're going at five in the morning and playing sometimes an afternoon game that day.
Certainly a night game that night.
The NFL teams will travel one day a week.
If it's a Sunday game, they'll arrive at the destination by three or four in the afternoon.
The coaches will have a production meeting with the uh with the networks, they'll have their snack, meal, all that, spend the night, meeting so forth, get up the next day, play the game, game's over, go home.
I've never understood what is so arduous about travel in the NFL.
Especially travel coast to coast when Major League Baseball teams and the NBA team, a lot of others, hockey, my gosh.
The uh the rigors of hockey teams and their travel, and hockey is a contact sport, just like football is.
It's I think it's it's part of the allure.
It's uh it's it's it's part of the excuse making.
What is the big deal about having a Monday night game as opposed to Sunday?
Yeah, well, we've got a shortened week, you know, the players damn Tuesday off.
It's got one plus day to game plan and prep and practice for the game six days from now instead of seven.
And especially if we have to go on the road that next week, leave on a Saturday, have to leave maybe uh fly three or four hours.
I never have understood it.
Uh compared to other sports.
What is it about football that makes travel so big a factor in the performance of the players where it never is held up as a factor in baseball, hockey, or basketball?
You never read.
You never do, do you?
You never read coaches or players in baseball, hockey, or basketball, saying, yeah, well, travel schedule are really, really tough.
That's why we only took two out of three from the Blue Jays this weekend.
Now, I understand some of you are gonna say, look, baseball's not a contact sport, it's uh it's a slower game, and there's not uh, you know, football has a rhythm to it, the week has a very uh established routine.
I'm not I understand all that.
I'm just talking, but the travel.
Travel in the National Football League is nothing compared to some of the other sports, and the other sports never cite it as a factor in how they play or don't play.
And the NFL, it's always held up as a potential excuse for doing poorly in advance.
And then if the team loses, it's always cited as a potential factor, especially these Thursday night games.
What would have been the Jets are saying, yeah, that we had to play a Sunday night game, and that just really screwed up the week.
Okay, so playing Sunday afternoon, finishing, let's say five hours sooner on Sunday.
Would have been a big factor in how you play Thursday night in Denver.
That's what they want the fans to believe.
Well, I've just, you know, I'm a rigorous traveler, as you people well know.
I uh uh if I want to wake up someplace, I'll make sure that I get there in time to wake up, even if it's five o'clock in the morning.
I don't have to send if I if uh if I don't have to spend the night someplace, then I won't.
Uh and it's just you get used to it.
Uh it's actually, in many cases, a luxury.
And yet here it is complained about.
And as a factor in winning or losing.
And I'd be kind of embarrassed.
You got a 16-game season, and you travel for eight of them, so in eight days in an entire season, you're traveling.
And it's a factor in how you play.
Maybe some of you out there can explain this to me.
I know it's strange, me asking you to explain something to me about football, but somebody might have the answer.
Speaking of sports.
Students at an East End Toronto, Canada's school are being told to leave their soccer balls and other hardballs at home.
Mike, Mike, you need to f before I finish this story.
You need to get our PSA that we put together, keep our own kids safe now.
Not now.
I'll wait and do the story till you find the PSA that we produce.
Because folks, you talk about being on a cutting edge side of evolution.
Keep our own kids safe as a plan of an effort started by me over fifteen years ago.
Warning people of the dangers of soccer, warning parents of the dangers of soccer, and finally.
Finally, a school principal in Canada has seen the light.
Here is the PSA 15, 18, whatever it was, years ahead of its time.
And now a word from the National Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign about the danger of soccer.
If they have a competitive player on the field that they can't beat, they're coached to hurt them and take them out of the game.
Keep our own kids safe, national celebrity spokesman Rush Limbaugh.
At what age is that taught?
Fairly young.
That is the entirely different picture from what I have always thought soccer was.
I thought soccer was a refuge from violence.
I thought that's one of the drawing cards of soccer.
And his parents were sending their kids out there so they wouldn't get involved in those kinds of activities on the city.
Well, that's exactly why we had our boys play soccer.
The same son went to college on a soccer scholarship, and he thought he would get away from this being attacked in a tournament game.
He again won the ball, and the kid he won it from ran wide open at him, lunged at him with his knee up and got him in the grind and shattered to testicle.
They left him laying on the side of the field during that game, and he went into shock.
This is a genuine horror story that I'm sure pains you to tell.
I think it's important to point out that the soccer moms obviously didn't know and don't know.
It's not that they were irresponsible or are irresponsible like Jane here.
They were just uninformed.
This is why our education campaign is so important.

Now there's one more.
There's one more.
Okay, there's two more.
It was an extensive campaign 15, 18 years ago.
Play or play the next two back to back.
And now a word from the National Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign about the danger of soccer.
I have played soccer since I was in kindergarten.
I think that it has affected me after soccer games.
I would be lightheaded from heading the soccer ball.
I broke my leg playing a soccer game two years ago this time.
I was in physical therapy for eight months with a hip injury, all from soccer.
Keep our own kids safe.
National celebrity spokesman Rush Limbaugh.
We thank God, Lisa, that you are among the fortunate few who have learned in time.
But think of the people who have not learned, who don't know, who are being led down the primrose path.
I my friends, I think it's time for serious drastic action.
It is time to ban soccer from television.
That obviously is encouraging a lot of people to play.
Don't let any of the sponsors that sponsor soccer.
Advertise on TV.
Something must be done now.
You heard her story.
It's not worth risking my body injuries I could be stuck with for life.
I mean, who knows?
I could be like five years from now.
I could be like a paraplegic.
I mean, who knows?
It's not worth it.

You'll find them everywhere.
And now a word from the National Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign about the danger of soccer.
I see soccer as not a violent sport.
It's a symptom of violence, not really a cause of violence.
Keep our own kids safe.
National celebrity spokesman Rush Limbaugh.
Are you a paid member of the soccer lobby?
There have been people in other endeavors of human activity who have known of inherent risks and have lied about them.
If anything, your words will serve only to embolden people's efforts to spread the sport of soccer, and I hope that doesn't incorporate an increased number of injuries and so on and so forth.
Well, me too.
If anger at me, if anger at me causes others to get more people into this game, I can't be held accountable for that.
I love the game, and I play a little bit of football as well.
But I tell you, I would never take my chances on the football field.
And you took chances that you didn't even know you were taking on the soccer field, and that's my point.
You didn't even know because they hid the data from.
Well, oftentimes victims are the last to know.
You should ask your family members if there have been any changes.

Three PSAs from the heart.
Those were actual telephone calls to this program.
None of that was written.
None of that was scripted.
People agreed with me, people who disagreed with me, put the three PSAs together, and now, ladies and gentlemen, a principal in Toronto has banned soccer balls, footballs, and any other ball that's hard from any kind of physical activity with the kids because it's too dangerous.
It's taken fifteen years, but it's paid off.
Ladies and gentlemen, the wusses are winning.
Students at an East End Toronto Screw are being told to leave their soccer balls and other hardballs at home.
The principal of Earl Baity public scrule banned the balls this week after a parent recently suffered a concussion from being hit in the head with a soccer ball.
parent?
Just out of curiosity, why was a parent playing soccer at school?
But you see the dangers here of soccer.
We warned you about it 15 years ago.
Concussions.
Soccer ball.
The principal at uh the Toronto Scrual, Alicia Fernandez banned hard balls, claiming that they're dangerous.
The kids were coming in complaining of injury.
The kids were saying they were scared.
And we can't have the kids scared ever.
The ban went into effect two weeks ago.
Students can bring in a sponge or other soft balls to play with, but soccer balls, footballs, baseballs, even tennis balls are not allowed now for safety reasons.
Some parents say that the band's excessive and unfair to children who like to play outside.
Luckily, since their diets are not controlled by the government, these kids don't have to worry about getting obese either.
What with all of the concern that's being attended?
This is how you this is how you wimpify kids.
This is how you turn them into a bunch of wusses.
You believe this?
Softballs, baseballs, football, soccer ball, band, tennis balls.
Because the children were scared.
It's a good thing Canada doesn't have a military.
We'll be back.
Yeah, you know, open line Friday, I mean, it's even good for me, folks.
I get to turn the tables on the stick to the issues crowd.
And I get to talk about whatever I want, such as football stuff, even if it's not in the news.
But I do want to get to the news here.
President Obama's U.S. Department of Agriculture has delayed shale gas drilling in Ohio for up to six months by canceling a mineral lease auction for Wayne National Forest.
The move was taken in deference to environmentalist wackos on the pretext of studying the effects of hydraulic fracturing.
200,000 jobs on the line here.
This is a grand total of up to a maximum of 600,000 jobs that Obama has written off in the last two weeks by putting off the construction of the Keystone Pipeline from Canada to ship oil from Canada to the United States.
That would have been an initial 20,000 jobs that could have expanded up to as many as 400,000 to build and maintenance service the pipeline operated.
Not to mention the humongous supply of oil that it would have brought the United States.
And now another delay.
This the uh shale drilling in Ohio, delay it for six months.
And here's a guy, Barack Obama, who's traveling the world and this country and telling everybody he's focused like a laser on job creation.
And he's doing his level best to prevent the creation of jobs, particularly in the oil industry, because if he does, he loses his base or he runs the risk of losing his base.
So it goes back what I've always said, what's good for America is bad for the Democrats and Verseweiser.
If it's good for the Democrat Party, it's bad for the country.
So here's Obama, and he's uh balanced precariously now when it comes to his re-election possibilities.
He's got to hold on to his base.
His base is made up of the fringe kooks that you see at Occupy Wall Street and Occupy everywhere else.
And there's more evidence, by the way, that there are direct ties of this group to Van Jones, which is a direct tie to Obama.
Well, this is outrageous, folks.
It's simply outrageous.
We are witnessing the purposeful management of decline of a great nation.
200,000 jobs possible here in Ohio, six uh 400,000 jobs throughout with the Keystone Pipeline, and just erase them, just wipe them out.
No, we're gonna need to study it further, the environmental impact.
All to hold on to his base.
Which takes me, interestingly enough, to Newt Gingrich.
The story of the day on Newt Gingrich is all of his baggage.
You can see that Newt Gingrich is all of a sudden now at the top of the heap in the polling data because he's the focus of all the media attention, all the media gotches.
It was Herman Cain last week and the week before.
Now it's Newt Gingrich.
And in the midst of all of this, have you noticed that there is one Republican who constantly escapes Any of this media anal exam escapes all of this vetting, and that's Mitt Romney.
The one who is said to be the nominee.
I mean, all the smart money out there says, you know, all this stuff, this primary stuff, it's just all academic.
Romney's a nominee.
Everybody knows it.
All of this is just a waste of time.
Everybody knows when it's all over, Romney's gonna be the nominee, right?
Well, Romney is the one guy the media is not vetting.
So there's a pattern out there.
Whenever a new Republican, the anti-Romney, the non-Romney, the unromes the top or near the top in the polling data, then here come all of the relentless assaults on character, their past, their integrity from the drive-by media.
With Sarah Palin, then it was Michelle Bachman.
It has been Herman Cain.
They've gone after all of them.
Now it's Newt Gingrich, who a month ago was considered laughing stock, somebody just taking up space at the debates, the wise old man who was never going to go anywhere because he was too undisciplined.
Yeah, very smart guy, but never going to go anywhere.
He's just up there.
He's serving a role.
He's making sure that these Republicans stay focused on Obama.
Newt's up there, he's hitting the media, he's hitting Obama while these other Republicans go through the motions here.
But it's going to be Romney.
Everybody knows it's going to be Romney.
Meanwhile, Romney is never the subject of any media hit.
What are you saying with the I'm not saying anything?
I'm just pointing it out.
Fill in a blank your own self if you want to draw a conclusion.
I could draw a conclusion there.
Because everybody's wondering where's all this stuff coming from?
Where'd all the stuff from Herman Cain come from?
Where'd all the stuff from Sarah Payne come from Palin come from?
Where's it all?
You know, who benefits from all this?
It's always an interesting question to ask.
Who benefits from Cain being taken out or the effort to take Cain out?
Who benefits from the effort now to take Newt out?
Who benefited from the effort to wipe out Sarah Palin?
Now who is it that's not being vetted?
So let's do something here.
Let's forget Newt's baggage for a moment.
And what is Newt's baggage?
Well, he might have lobbied, denies it, but he might have lobbied for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mack, one of the two.
He did take some money from them, gave him advice.
Little over a million dollars.
Doesn't compare to the $90 million that Franklin Reigns took out of there.
Doesn't compare to $26 million that Jamie Garellick, an approved Democrat like Franklin Raines took out of there.
He doesn't compare to the 24 million dollars that Jim Johnson took out of there.
And who knows how many other Democrats have gone over to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and scored big time.
No, no, we're gonna focus on Newt and his one million.
He's got some explaining to do, but none of these other Democrats did.
In fact, up till now, Fannie Mae's been wonderful.
Any effort to stop them, any effort to balance them, any effort to make them behave responsibly was looked upon as an assault on the concept of affordable housing.
Any attempt to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack, any attempt to bring them in line and make them behave in a standard common sense business way was looked at as an assault on the poor.
And the left did everything they could with their media to stand up and defend Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack as great institutions helping the poor in the great unwashed.
Now all of a sudden, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack are toxic, worthless, scum.
Because they paid Newt Gingrich a million dollars.
So that's some of the baggage.
And then Newt, I don't know how you put up with this, folks.
Newt actually went out there and bought his wife some jewelry at Tiffany and had the audacity to use his own money and pay for it.
And for that, he deserves an investigation.
Well, that's right, Mr. Limbaugh.
Who else buys their wife that kind of jewelry in the middle of political campaign?
Well, so they gotta find the reason.
That's right, Mr. Limbaugh.
We believe that he paid his wife off because his wife didn't want any part of the presidential run and he had to pay her off in order to get her to go along with.
And that's the purpose of the investigation.
And that was also why Mr. Limbaugh that he took the cruise to Greece.
Okay, so this is the baggage that they've got on Newt.
Took a cruise, paid Tiffany six figures for some jewelry for his wife Callista.
Worked at Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, and of course he sat on the couch with Pelosi.
I'm not denying folks that there are some things that trouble conservatives here.
I want to look past them here for just a second.
Take a step back.
Because Newt is high atop the polls in Iowa.
Out of nowhere.
And there has to be a reason for this.
Despite the baggage, there's got to be a reason why Newt's polling near the top.
Well, you seem to act like you know what it is in there.
What do you think the reason is, Snurdly?
Or what it what is.
Okay.
All right, okay, you're close.
Close.
Okay.
Okay, so Snerdley says, well, it's understandable ways at the top.
He's actually talking like a conservative consistently, and he's not Romney.
Those are your two reasons.
Not hard to figure out.
But it's a little deeper than that.
Take a step back, understand why Republican voters are responding to Newt now.
As opposed to a month ago.
Six weeks ago.
Two months ago.
I mean, Newt's been in the race since it began.
Why now?
Why now is Newt Gingrich at the top of the heap in Iowa?
And in some national polls as well.
Why?
We are three years into Barack Obama's war on prosperity.
And I think Americans are coming to grips with the upside, if not the necessity, of limited government.
And now that people understand or are beginning to understand the deceit that is liberalism, including its standard bearer, Barack Hussein Obama.
They're looking for somebody to clearly articulate a way out, and they want to hear it said with strength and passion and power and intelligence.
Mitt Romney is a fine person.
Mitt Romney is as nice a guy as you would ever run into.
He's made mistakes, but who hasn't?
The problem that he's facing is an electorate that wants to know if he has learned from them.
And his defense of Romney care is troubling, especially when this Gruber guy, John Gruber, who helped Romney put it together and also went to the White House and helped Obama put together Obamacare, is out there saying not telling you the truth.
It's the same bill.
The only difference in Romney care and Obamacare is that Romney care used taxpayer dollars to pay for a state program.
Obamacare obviously uses taxpayer dollars, but they in other words, Romney care could go elsewhere for the money for it.
Obamacare couldn't, but it didn't matter.
The federal program, the money's obviously going to be paid for by federal funds or taxpayer dollars.
He continues to defend Romney care.
Mitt does, that troubles a lot of people.
Let's say that Newt, to this day, was defending his couch time with Pelosi.
He'd be toast, right?
Absolutely.
Well, Romney is continuing to defend Romney care, and it's troubling to people.
Just as if Newt were defending the couch time of Pelosi would be troubling.
The difference is Newt would be toast.
Mitt is not toast yet.
If If if if Newt tries to revive the era of Reagan is over, he's toast.
But despite having said these things and having this so-called baggage.
And one of the elements of baggage, you know, Newt was an early adopter and supporter of health care mandates.
Along with the Heritage Foundation.
There were a lot of Republicans early that when it was Romney care was the uh health care de jour.
He had a lot of Republican support at the outset.
I remember that Romney care plan being touted throughout the Republican Party.
Theoretically and on paper, everybody in the party loved it.
The mandate and all that.
Now all of a sudden, you know, Newt has got to explain that.
Imagine if Newt today were saying, hey, I haven't changed my mind on any on the mandate.
It'd be toast.
So Romney is still in some trouble.
And that's why the polling data is what it is, because people are troubled by his steadfast glue keeps him attached to Romney care.
People don't like it because they do think that's much the same thing as Obamacare.
Well, well, he's if he no, I don't know.
If he abandoned it totally, would they call him a flip-flopper?
What do you mean they're already calling him a flip-flopper?
I mean, it's not an again to it.
He already has that as his baggage.
So forth.
But he's not being vetted on that.
Anyway, I got to take a break here, folks.
Sit tight.
We'll be back before you know it.
Happens to me every day.
Donation for what?
A donation for somebody that was sick and it wasn't enough.
She complained because it wasn't enough.
How much did you give?
A dollar?
More than a dollar.
Doesn't matter.
Still complaining about it.
It's very bad form.
Very, very sad, very bad form.
But I got an I got an answer here.
I got a very famous linebacker coach in the National Football League.
The answer to your question about travel is recovery time for your body is the deal.
Rest and sleep are vital in preparation for football games.
Four days as opposed to six is a big deal.
Four days as opposed to in terms of recovery.
Look, it's a brutal game.
people that have no idea what this game is really like unless you've seen it from the sideline and most people will never see the game from the sideline you can't begin to fathom unless you've played it but Just watching it on television.
Now, by the way, Newt, Newt, this mandate business, as you get back to this, it was as recent as as May of this year, Meet the Press, but Newt supported a mandate in health care.
Gingrich said he agreed with key aspects of Romney care.
This was a uh uh Meet the Press, let's see, on what's the date?
It was in May of this year.
And uh Newt said, I I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay to help pay for health care.
I I've said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond.
That's in May of this year.
Now, despite that, Newt is way ahead in Iowa and has now tied Romney statistically, margin of error in New Hampshire.
I am here to tell you that is a big deal.
New Hampshire was considered slam dunk for Romney to the point that nobody needs to even go there.
No other candidate needs to spend a dime there because it's not winnable.
Romney owns it.
Newt's tied him with this baggage.
Not commenting on the baggage.
I'm just, there's a reason why this is happening, and I'm going to explain it to you as the program unfolds.
That's why I'm bringing it up.
But let's, I think one of the problems with Romney that he has is that the whole thing is called Romney care.
Imagine and he how do you abandon something with your name on it?
Imagine if sitting on a couch with the Speaker of the House as a Democrat was called a new.
Could you just easily uh disavow a nutie if it was your name on the thing?
It's something to consider here if I was May 15th of this year.
Newt was on Meet the Press uh wildly uh supporting the whole concept of a mandate in health care.
And here he is, high atop the Republican polling.
