The views expressed by the host on this program, documented to be almost always right, 99.6% of the time, nobody closer to perfection than I, and nobody's close to me.
Great to have you here.

So I watched a little bit of Barney Frank.
Folks, it was hilarious.
For one thing, he's quitting.
So his seat, Barney Frank's seat, is now wide open.
Yes, sir, Reebob says he's stepping down to pursue an active life.
He gave a lot of reasons for stepping down.
I lost count.
Among them, that he's convinced that conservative Republicans are not going to raise taxes on the 1%.
So he doesn't want to be there for that.
He also, and as I told you at the beginning of the program, it's a redistricting thing.
And he spent a lot of time on that.
And this was hilarious.
He said he just doesn't want to go to a new district of people and try to tell them that he's going to represent them for a couple of years and then retire.
He's represented a certain group of people for all these years, among them the fishing industry.
And he said, I just, I just, I cannot walk away from the fishing industry in Massachusetts.
I just can't walk away from the fishing industry.
The fishing industry would not be in this new district.
What it means is, is that he would have to campaign.
What it means is that he might lose.
What it means is that the Democrats are going to be in the minority for the foreseeable future.
And all these years, Barney, he never had the campaign.
Last election was the first time in, I don't know how many years, 10, they actually had a viable opponent.
He's never had to spend much money or time running for re-election.
That's all different now.
In fact, I heard, somebody, we have to confirm this, that Dennis Kucinich, his district has been rewritten or is about to be written.
Okay, that's what I heard, that they're writing his district out of existence in Ohio.
So he's thinking about moving to Seattle.
Ottawa bar.
He's going to go to Seattle.
So Barney's not willing to get to know new people in Massachusetts.
He doesn't want to abandon the fishing industry.
But Kucinich, to hell with it.
I'll go represent people in Seattle I never met.
State of Washington or what have you.
Anyway, so Barney is effectively gone.
Great to have you on the program.
We'll get to your phone calls quickly, folks.

This next story fascinates me.
China to cancel college majors that don't pay.
It's from the Wall Street Journal.
Much like the United States, the CHICOMs are aiming to address a problematic demographic that has recently emerged, a generation of jobless college graduates.
The CHICOM solution to that problem has some in the country scratching their heads.
The CHICOM Ministry of Education announced this week that they have plans to phase out college majors which produce unemployable graduates.
The government will soon start evaluating college majors by their employment rates and then will downsize or cut those studies in which less than 60% of graduates fail for two consecutive years to find work.
The move is meant to solve a problem that surfaced as a number of the ChiCom's university educated have jumped to about 9,000 people per every 100,000.
That's up nearly 150% in 10 years, according to the Chikom census.
The surge of college graduates, while an accomplishment for the ChiComs, has contributed to an overflow of workers whose skill set don't match with the needs of the export-led manufacturing-based economy.
Yet the government's decision to curb majors is facing resistance.
So what?
It's China.
You shoot them.
Many university professors in the Chikom area are unhappy with the Ministry of Education's move as it'll likely shrink the talent pool necessary of professors to teach these worthless subjects.
An op-ed in the Beijing News criticizes the approach for a different reason, saying it'll only spur false reporting of employment rates from schools that are looking for greater autonomy to produce more diversified, higher-qualified students.
Official data already shows the country's educated jobless appear to be decreasing.
In 2010, 72% of recent graduates found work up from 68% in 2009.
Education has become a heated topic for the ChiComs as the country looks to propel the rise of its own companies and its own technologies.
To succeed in that quest, the Chikom government has said that they must produce more innovators.
It's a tough thing to do in communism.
Tight restrictions over education are seen as the reason that creativity in China has been stifled and as the reason that so many have chosen to flee overseas for their studies.
Yeah, duh.
It's a communist country.
Not for the iPhone.
China has questioned whether somebody like Apple founder Steve Jobs could ever emerge from an education system that seeks to push down students who stand out from the crowd.
All right, now what is this?
The ChiComs have questioned whether somebody like Steve Jobs could ever emerge from an education system that seeks to push down students who stand out from the crowd.
Oh.
Jobs didn't go to college.
You know what's apparent here?
It looks to me like that people are trying to make Steve Jobs the symbol for all that's wrong in going to college.
And I don't think Jobs is it like I am, but you can roll the dice on that.
Anyway, bottom line here is the ChiComs have just decided that they're a whole bunch of worthless college majors and that they're not going to deal with these people.
And if you're the ChiComs who you blame them, who do you think Occupy Wall Street is?
In part, it's a bunch of people that have meaningless degrees who expected to be paid big amounts of money for doing nothing once they got out of school just because they got out of school.
The ChiComs don't want to deal with Occupy protests.
How'd that go at Tiananmen Square?
They're still living that down.
Whoa, come on.
What do you mean?
How come the ChiComs can do this, implement this kind of thing, and we can't?
Who's to say we can't?
Tom Friedman loves the Chinese.
Obama loves the Chinese.
Who's to say we can't?
What do you mean?
Are you really asking me how can Snerdly, you're wondering how it is the CHICOMs can just automatically decree this?
It's a communist country for crying out loud.
Whatever the Politburo says is going to be is going to be.
If the Politburo looks out there and they see too many of their students with worthless degrees, they're just going to ban the degrees.
They're going to ban education in that field.
They don't want unemployed people.
We do.
We want unemployed.
That's what the whole New York Times story today is.
We want on it.
The Democrat Party wants more unemployed people.
The Democrat Party is building their future on the unemployed.
And not just the unemployed, the unemployable.
That's who the Democrat Party is building its future.
And I got to take a brief time out.
We'll come back.
Your phone calls are next right after this.
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
We're going to start on the phones with Patrick in Charleston, West Virginia.
Thank you for calling, sir.
I'm glad you waited.
And welcome to the program.
Thank you.
Good to speak with you.
Pleasure's mom.
I'm calling in regard to your comments on the New York Times piece.
And it occurs to me that perhaps the Democrats, the leadership, have made a calculation with 47% of the people not paying taxes in this country.
Maybe they've decided that with them and their sympathizers lumped together, that we've reached the tipping point, that there are now enough people who either are already ripping off their fellow citizens or are willing to do so so that they can live without working.
You know, maybe it's just a calculation.
They think they can win now without those.
Well, I think it's two things.
It is a calculation.
I'm not sure that they're right that we've reached the tipping point.
I don't think we have.
This is not a winning coalition, but this is something that they have been aiming for.
You're right.
There's no question this has been the direction they've been going, the expansion of the entitlement state, the expansion of the non-working class of Americans that will depend on what government gives them to eat, drink, drive, what have you.
The Democrat Party wants to be seen as salvation for that.
Here's the problem.
And I think it was really expressed well by Daniel Pipes.
A little comment at the corner at National Review Online.
Barack Obama suffers from an inherent policy contradiction, especially in foreign affairs, but it's true in domestic policy as well.
On the one hand, as a leftist, as a Democrat, Barack Obama despises the United States and sees it as a force for ill in the world.
So you see, ladies and gentlemen, not just me believes this.
This is Daniel Pipes.
And a lot of people understand this.
A lot of people are also very afraid of it, but have not yet got the guts to admit it.
But as a leftist, Obama despises the United States and sees it as a force for ill in the world.
And I'm just going to repeat, particularly here in the area of foreign policy, that's why running around the world apologizing for America.
We're not exceptional.
We're not a superpower.
We only exist because we stole all these things from all these other people and countries.
It's about time that we found out what it's like to live the way we've made all these other poor people around the country and the world live.
But there's a problem.
It's a problem of logic.
Obama has, and the Democrats, they have to reconcile the contradiction of two imperatives.
Because on the one hand, as a leftist, he despises the country, but on the other hand, as president, he's judged by how well the country does during his tenure.
Sad to say, folks, that a very large percentage of Americans do not see Barack Obama as someone who despises the United States.
They just see him as wrong.
Policies are bad, wrong.
They don't see, because people don't want to look at their president that way.
People don't want to think that a man who despises the country has actually been elected president of it.
But people who have courage and the guts to admit reality, you and I, know full well, Mr. Pipes here, know full well that as a leftist, as a Democrat, Obama despises the country, but he's president.
And he's judged by how well the country fares during his tenure.
This is the dichotomy between did he fail or succeed.
You know, I wanted him to fail, meaning I didn't want socialism to succeed.
I did not want him to succeed in doing what he's done.
In my view, Obama has succeeded.
He didn't fail.
A lot of other people, though, who are not nearly as into this as you and I look at Obama and think he has failed.
His policies to create jobs haven't created jobs, when in fact, his policies never were to create jobs.
The economy hasn't grown.
All of his efforts to grow the economy haven't worked.
It's a shame.
He doesn't have one policy that's designed to grow the economy.
Every policy he has is designed to grow government and shrink the economy.
And yet, he's got to get reelected.
What does he do?
Okay, what he's done is cast aside the other hand.
He's got this dilemma or conundrum.
On the one hand, he hates the country.
On the other hand, he's got to get re-elected.
He's got to make people look like or think that he's trying to improve it.
That's what he's thrown away now.
That's what this New York Times story, he's not going to run for reelection on the premise that his policies, if given more time, will improve the country.
That his policies will create jobs.
He's going to go out and say so.
But what they're admitting now with this New York Times story and what Patrick from Charleston, West Virginia is saying, the tipping point, what they're admitting now is that they're going to be elected.
Obama wants to be re-elected by people who capitalize on the country failing.
Because when the country fails, the government succeeds.
The government, that's the only way it can happen.
Country fails, government grows.
Government grows and gives away to people that don't work.
That's who Obama's going out trying to make his winning coalition that and his super-educated elites.
But working white voters are no longer wanted.
Working white voters are no longer targeted.
That means that he's not going to make much pretense at all of trying to be re-elected on the basis that his policies will make it better for working people.
Because what do working people want to improve?
They want more jobs.
They want raises.
They want greater economic activity.
Obama's essentially saying that's not what you're going to get from me.
What you're going to get from me is slower economy, smaller economy, bigger government, more entitlement, more giveaways, so forth and so on.
Occupy Wall Street.
That's my constituency group.
Because they understand, you know, this really is a hell of a conundrum to have.
In your heart, you despise the country.
But as president, you're judged on whether or not you're doing any good for it.
Okay, so they're throwing that out.
They're not even going to make any pretense now that what they're doing is good for the country.
Well, take it back.
They are going to make an effort to define this being a great country by how many people it provides for who will choose on their own not to work.
That's going to be the new definition of national greatness.
How compassionate is the government?
How big is the government?
How many people can the government take care of?
That's the transformation.
I mean, Obama let it slip last week that he ran for president for the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
He's admitting this over and over again.
And he's not concerned about the judgment of history.
He's concerned about the judgment of his liberal peers, future liberal historians.
That's his audience.
That's who he hopes to receive accolades from.
The Democrats know that people who believe government will give them everything from food and shelter to cars, healthcare, televisions, can always be trusted to vote for even more government.
That's what the Democrats know.
That's what they've been angling for.
That's where they think they've arrived.
Democrats, Obama, obviously think that they can win re-election with that coalition of people.
We shall see.
Howard in Paris, Tennessee.
I'm glad you called.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
It's an honor to speak with you.
I've listened to you for a long time now.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
Really do.
I'm part of the working class.
I'm lucky to make $22,000 a year.
And I just see, you know, the Democrats making it harder and harder on a working man.
They send their jobs overseas to China and stuff.
They put tougher regulations on small businesses.
They teach people where you can't afford to.
Have you ever voted for a Democrat in your life?
Heck no.
If it weren't for you, I'd probably be a Democrat, but I've listened to you, my whole life.
I know better.
Because you called yourself a working guy.
And the Democrats have always said that they are the party of working men and women.
I know I argue with people that all the time.
I guess you could say I interview people or whatever when I go to their house and spray them.
I talk to them in politics, you know, and I just don't see how the Democrat Party's for the working man.
I see it more for people on welfare and food stamps and all that than for the working man.
It's true.
Now they're admitting it.
Yeah, finally.
But I don't know.
Maybe people will wake up and see the light one day, you know.
I think people have.
It's the same old thing.
I think people have.
It's why there is a Tea Party.
Here's another series of stories.
I think one of them's in the Washington Times about how the Tea Party kind of faded away, gotten dormant.
Just don't see it out there as much.
They're not going to town hall meetings anymore.
They're not out there making themselves known in public.
And gee, maybe they've gone away.
Wishful thinking.
You know, the media, the Democrats have long sought to replace the Tea Party with the Occupy Wall Street crowd, the Occupy LA.
By the way, the Occupy LA crowd is the only Occupy group left out there of any significant size, by the way.
And one of the reasons is the climate in L.A.
The Occupy groups around the country have dispersed from their original sizes.
They're not, if anything's dwindling and fading away, it's the Occupy groups.
You just, yeah, you just wouldn't know it with media coverage.
And by the same token, trying to tell us that the Tea Party has sort of faded away.
People have lost interest.
There really isn't a leader, so it's not really a movement.
We shall see.
Wishful thinking on the part of a lot of people.
If they don't see it, i.e. the tea party and protests, maybe it doesn't exist.
That's their hope.
We'll be back.
I mentioned earlier in the program today is Cyber Monday.
Every day is a Cyber Day.
I mean, people shop on the internet every day.
We've got this creation here, Cyber Monday, not to be confused with Black Friday, not to be confused with Small Business Saturday.

And whenever we've announced new mugs, the EIB store, they go like hotcakes, as these are too.
And this offer valid only through tonight, 11.59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Ted, Columbus, Ohio, great to have you.
I'm glad you waited, and welcome to EIB Network.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Rush.
You know, I wanted to ask a really simple question here.
Why is it that people can pitch tents outside of Walmart, riot over $2 waffle irons, almost trample their fellow citizens to get a deal on some stuff?
But kids who peacefully link arms on a college campus get covered in military-grade pepper spray?
I mean, this is America.
Don't we have constitutionally protected rights to free speech?
I mean, why is this violent crackdown going on?
And why are the police silent about clear violence on Black Friday?
You are asking me why you can camp out in front of a retail store before it opens, but you can't pitch a tent and protest something?
You know, basically, I mean, what if you turned on the news and you saw that everybody's talking about this whole violent shopping movement after all these riots, you know, and they don't know why these shoppers are shopping in the first place?
Well, look, if you want to talk about cultural rot, I'll be glad it's we've got cultural rot everywhere.
It's in the NBA, it's in the NFL, it's in shopping malls.
Cultural rot's happening all across the country.
Which one do you want to focus on?
Well, I really wanted to focus on the cultural rot of corruption of our democracy by corporations.
Oh, the cultural rot brought on by corporations.
Corporations are just people.
I knew that bugs.
They can't handle it.
When you tell them corporations are people, they freak out.
They just can't handle it.
They lose their cookies.
They throw up.
They get sick.
What was that?
All right.
You said corporations are people.
I assume money is also speech, right?
Yeah, it is.
Money is speech.
Well-documented.
The Supreme Court.
Absolutely.
Money is speech.
Okay, all right.
Have you ever heard the phrase money talks?
Hold on, Russ, Rush, Rush.
No, wait, have you ever heard the phrase money talks?
I have heard that phrase.
I'm not sure how that pertains to this conversation.
Money is speech.
Money talks.
All right, so let's say if money is speech, then the voices of the 99% are drowned out by billions of corporate dollars flooding elections, right?
No.
How is that?
You're telling one, you're making one incorrect statement after another.
You're believing a bunch of crap.
You're believing a bunch of crap that a bunch of liars are telling you.
Corporations are not drowning out the radio and the TV.
Corporations are not drowning out anything.
It's a free market out there, and you have to compete for whatever you gain, and then you have to compete to hold it.
I mean, I'd like to support my candidates, but maybe I'll just scrounge around my couch for a few billion to make sure that my voice gets heard just as loudly as the corporations' voices get heard every election cycle.
Well, you've got to understand now that people at corporations are just like people outside the corporation.
People make campaign donations.
I can't afford a lobbyist, Rush.
That's why I'm the 99%.
That's why everybody's occupied nationwide.
I don't have a lobbyist.
I can't afford one either, but it's a hell of a lot of them working on my behalf.
Just as they are working on your behalf.
I'm wealthier than most people.
I mean, you know, most of us can't.
Let me see if I can.
What really, Ted, if you could narrow this down, I'm serious.
What really upsets you?
As a human being, as you get up every day and go about your life, what is it that really has you unhappy or mad?
What is it that's got you all wound up?
I'm really glad you asked that, Rush.
This is what gets me mad, all right?
I work two, three, sometimes four part-time jobs to pay rent and get by.
And the more I work, the harder I work, the more I see my communities fall apart, the more I hear our leaders tell us that it's our fault, the more I see that the results are fall into the hands of a wealthy few.
Wait a second.
What community is falling apart where you're working for jobs?
Look, if you just look around my state right now and you see Governor Kasich is cutting budgets left and right, he's laying workers off.
They don't have any money, Ted.
The state's bankrupt.
We're all out of money.
They don't have the money to give it away to people anymore.
They just don't have any money, Ted.
What if, Rush, what if the states had money and we did that by ending corporate tax loopholes, by fairly taxing the rich, by doing several common senseful work?
Ted, it's a hopeless case.
People agree are sensible.
It's all this case.
Here's the, see, I am told by people.
Rush, we have to find a way to compromise.
We have to find a way to bridge our differences.
And old Ted here is not interesting that.
Ted doesn't even know what he's talking about.
He's just reading a bunch of crap that he's read on a website or he's been told to read call this show today, this show tomorrow, whatever, and then read this crap and think that he's done something big time.
He'll brag to his buddies on some website tonight that he got through and had me in his figure eight donuts or what have you.
Meanwhile, Ted, what kind of work do you do, Ted?
What are the four jobs that you work?
Well, for a while, I was waiting tables.
I was bouncing at a gay club.
I was dude modeling for art classes.
I was substitute teaching in high school, like pretty much anything I can do to just pay the bills and get by.
Waiting tables, bouncing in a gay club, dude modeling for art classes, substitute teaching for high school.
Yeah.
And you were having trouble holding those jobs?
Well, it's hard enough to find a job, Rush.
I mean, I'm considered one of the lucky ones, you know, because I had four at one point, but I have a college degree.
You know, this is not the way America should be.
What is your degree in?
This is the land of opportunity.
What is your degree in?
My degree was in journalism, you know, and I had a journalism job for a little while.
Well, I don't have a little freelance every now and then.
You're doing fine.
You're doing fine.
You're filled with lies, falsehoods, untruths that you believe, and you're spreading them.
You just got to find a way to get paid for calling these talk shows, Ted.
And then you got it made.
Okay, just to confirm here, the correct promo code is Cybermon, C-Y-B-E-R-M-O-N.
Cybermon is the correct promo code at 2IFBT.com.
Now, this poor old guy, Ted, folks, I checked the email during the break.
It happens.
Rush, instead of joking with the guy, why didn't you spend some time and honestly try to inform him?
Why didn't you take the time to try to educate him?
Ladies and gentlemen, I have been doing this for 23 years.
The Teds of the world are not to be informed or educated.
It's not, they are to be defeated.
Ted is not open to being informed or educated.
People like Ted serve an entirely different purpose.
They are mere foot soldiers.
That's all they are.
They are malcontents.
They're unhappy, whatever.
Life has not treated them well.
They don't matter to anybody or anything or to themselves.
They're bitter.
It's, frankly, I don't have a time.
And believe me, you don't have the interest.
Ted, these people are so uninformed and stupid.
I wouldn't know where to start.
I couldn't lower myself to his level to even get started on an education program.
For example, the guy claims to have a journalism degree, yet he doesn't know the difference between private and public property, as is evidenced by his first question.
Why can't you pitch a tent in front of Walmart?
Why can you do this and that?
But why can't you in Sayzi County Park?
He doesn't understand the difference in public and private property, for one thing.
This idea that corporations aren't people, that corporations are the focus of evil.
Do you realize that is robotic?
That is something programmed to these kids robotic.
Corporations are so powerful that tobacco corporations can't advertise.
The oil companies can't drill.
The health insurance companies cannot sell across state lines.
And Boeing can't even open a factory in South Carolina.
And yet the corporations have all of this power.
We're dealing there with a pure unadulterated foot soldier who's not has no desire to know that he's wrong.
People like that have to be defeated.
This is why and the people they vote for have to be defeated.
That's why I don't respond well to all this touchy feeling.
We've got to compromise.
I don't know.
That's why I asked him.
When I asked him, what is it that really bothers him?
He didn't give me a personal answer.
He gave me some rote that he's got four jobs and his community's falling apart.
What were the four jobs?
Well, he's a bouncer at a gay club, and then he's a male model, and he's a substitute teacher.
All right, folks.
I forget what the fourth one was.
Oh, waits tables.
Wait a second.
That's not somebody serious about working.
It's just been around this long enough to know that those people are the frontline foot soldiers.
Those are the people in ancient Rome went out and took the first bullets.
That's what they were there for.
These are the maleducated, ill-educated, uneducated, useful idiots.
And they are made to think that they have value and worth by being sent out on these marching orders.
Whatever.
Let's see.
Barney, do I have a Barney Franks?
Yeah, I got this.
Do I want to play Barney Frank's number?
No, let's stick with the phones.
Where are we going next in the phones?
So just give me, Jose in Miami.
Jose, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Pleasure to speak with you.
I just wanted to comment on the deep chasm that we have in this country today.
How can constitutional conservatives ever compromise with statists?
It is wholly illusory that compromise is even a prospect.
I mean, we have such divergent views of the way this country should be.
I know.
That's exactly right.
I have examples, conversations I've had.
I was talking about it earlier in the program with earnest people who are not nearly as immersed.
By the way, these are smart, educated, and very successful business people, but they're not immersed in ideological politics.
And they're urging me, we've just got to find a way for the country to get along.
There has to be compromise.
And then they cite things like the founding fathers compromised on slavery or what have you, which is new to me.
I always thought the left hated the way slavery ended up in the Constitution.
But at any rate, you're exactly right.
The founding fathers that compromised had a single objective.
We don't share any objectives with the Democrats.
We don't share any of you're right.
The statists and constitutionalists have nothing in common.
Where is there any area of compromise?
And furthermore, why is it always up to us to compromise?
Why is it never said that they have to?
Precisely.
It's always us compromising and the old cliché of them moving the goalposts.
But it is what it is.
Where do we go?
I mean, there's nothing left to compromise on.
It's either we live within our means or we go bankrupt.
It's a very simple choice, a very simple dichotomy.
Which fork in the road are we going to take?
Well, but it's even worse than that.
It's worse than that when you're talking about either pay our bills or go bankrupt.
The fact of the matter is that the people who are on us on the side taking us bankrupt are not doing this mistakenly or accidentally.
They have an agenda in taking the country bankrupt.
They have a reason for it.
That is one of the goals, is to break this country as it was found.
I just don't know where there is to compromise.
We're not dealing with people who are good-intentioned, well-intentioned, but sadly mistaken.
We're dealing with full-fledged leftist statist ideologues who have an agenda oriented around those beliefs.
These are not people who are just wrong about how to have a great country.
So this whole notion of compromise to me is a trap, and it is also, it's an insult because it's thrown out there in such a way as to make us sound like we are the rigid, closed-minded, unbending problem.
And all we are, people who want to save the country as it was founded, as the greatest country in the history of humanity, for those who will follow us as residents of this country, as citizens of this country.
I don't know where the compromise is on that.
Okay, we will agree.
We'll want to destroy the country in 50 years.
How about that?
