Time Text
Obama's re-elect numbers are at 43%, ladies and gentlemen.
They've been hoping to keep him at 50-50.
Now he's at 43.
And the politico today has their own story with a poll.
For the first time, a majority of Americans say Obama should be voted out of the White House next year.
It's the same story.
It's just a different way they're reporting it.
One story says, look at this.
43% disapprove of Obama.
43% the politico says 43% say Obama should stay.
57% say should go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
This is why Obama operates without a budget.
He doesn't want accountability.
It's why there's not gonna be a tax increase on the rich in an election year.
He doesn't want accountability.
Obama wants class warfare.
Where he plays judge and jury as to how much money we have to spend.
We are to have limited information about where our money is spent, sort of like John Corzine's customers.
Greetings and welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
El Rushville here on Open Line Friday, where when we go to the phones, whatever you want to talk about is fine and dandy.
It's not the case Monday through Thursday.
Well, yeah, that Clinton got 43% of vote, but that's when Parole was in there.
There was a third party uh candidate in there.
But yeah, yeah, that's still a valid point if if Ron Paul decides to go that way.
Or if somebody else decides to uh to go third party.
Anyway, great to have you here.
Uh as I say, this is a greatest career risk a major media figure has ever taken.
Turning over the all-important, valuable, irreplaceable content portion of the program to rank amateurs, which is what we do on open line Friday, rubbish, lovable rank amateurs.
Uh but amateurs nonetheless.
And it's fun.
We look forward to it.
Uh well, I do.
Snerdley says least favorite day of the week.
I've never understood exactly why, but nevertheless.
Ladies and gentlemen, the um fact checking continues here after these debates.
It's a bit laughable, but it still goes on.
The so-called fact-checking, the media is doing, for instance, the AP went after Mr. Newt for saying that he had balanced the budget for four straight years.
Now the AP admits that there were surpluses for two years while Mr. Newt was speaker, but they point out that the next two years of surpluses happened after he had left office.
Here's the quote: two more years of surpluses followed, but Gingrich had gone from politics by then and had nothing to do with them.
Oh, yeah, nothing, nothing to do with them.
Now that is just laughable.
First, you take over the House for the first time in 40 years, then you balance the budget for the first time in a gazillion years.
It stays balanced for a couple years after you've had a couple surpluses.
You'd had nothing to do with that.
Who do you think you are?
Of course, those two years of budget surpluses were the direct result of what Gingrich had helped get enacted.
He's perfectly correct to take credit for all four years.
And then here's another one.
The New York Times also has a fact check piece today to go along with the AP.
The New York Times claims Romney accused Obama of having said pretty please to Iran to return an American stealth drone.
This is they fact-checked that.
No, Obama never said pretty please.
Cut us some slow.
Obama asked them to give it back.
What Romney was illustrating was the wussiness of this.
And I thought it was a nice moment from Romney.
Okay, so we lose a drone, what do we do?
Ask for it back.
He was illustrating the absolute chif chickification the president of the United States by saying, pretty please we give it back, pretty, please.
But they see this as a gotcha.
Since Obama Actually never said pretty, please.
But then the Times isn't through with their fact check at this.
Rick Perry said a better choice would have been to destroy or retrieve the drone to keep from revealing American technological secrets.
Which is inarguable.
If you're on the same side of Ron Paul, what in the world is wrong with that?
But the New York Times goes on to claim, quote, in fact, American military officials considered an operation to retrieve the drone, but they rejected it as too dangerous, since it would require a sizable force traveling more than two hundred miles into the country and likely facing a large Iranian protection force.
That's not a fact.
Here they're fact-checking Romney and they throw in something with likely would face.
They don't know that, and they present that as a fact in a fact check article.
Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, who originally reported the Pentagon's options back on December 7th when the drone went missing, they considered three options with this drone.
One was using commandos to retrieve it.
Number two was using commandos to blow it to Smitterines, and number three was destroying it with an airstrike.
But according to the Wall Street Journal, the officials worried that any option for retrieving or destroying the drone would have risked discovery by Iran.
They quoted an official who said that they were worried about recovering it or destroying it because of the potential it could become a larger incident, and that the U.S. could be accused of an act of wall.
There was no mention of it being too dangerous because they would be facing a large Iranian protection force.
Where did the New York Times get this?
They're making this stuff up in a fact check article.
Unless the Times had another source that they're not willing to attribute here or mention, they just make it up.
And even after what Perry said is still true.
Okay, let's go to the audio sound bites of the debate.
Let's get started.
We're gonna start here with uh oh, by the way, Greg we we have a uh uh Ron Paul has uh what what is it recorded a commercial for us here?
Is there a special uh yeah we uh let's do that first.
Let me just because I think they're a little preemptive over there at the ball, David.
And no, Congressman Ron Paul on Iran.
The greatest danger is not from Iran.
It's from us overreacting.
We just need to talk with them instead of this endless fighting.
Why are we flying drones over there?
There's no evidence they have a nuclear weapon.
There's no enrichment.
The UN and the IAEA just made all this up.
President Obama did the right thing in backing off because sanctions are an act of war.
Oh, we're doing this promoting their desire to have a nuclear weapon.
We are the problem here.
Vote for Ron Paul because Newt Gingrich is too zany and weird.
Paid for by Washington Republicans for moderation.
We are the problem.
Actually, it's a commercial uh Washington Republicans, not uh not Ron Paul.
Here is Ron Paul in the debate last night.
Uh, this is Brett Bear, who I I I thought the Fox moderators did a good job last night, too.
I thought I thought it was it was good.
Yeah, fair and balanced, they were good.
Uh Brett Bear, Congressman Paul.
Many Middle East experts now say that Iran may be less than one year away from getting a nuclear weapon.
Now, judging from your past statements, even if you had solid intelligence that Iran in fact was going to get a nuclear weapon, President Paul would remove the U.S. sanctions on Iran, included those added by the Obama administration.
So to be clear, GOP nominee, Ron Paul would be running left of President Obama on the issue of Iran.
You know what I really fear about what's happening here?
It's another Iraq coming.
Is war propaganda going on?
And we're arguing to me the greatest danger is that we will have a president that will overreact, and we will soon bomb Iran.
And the sentiment is very mixed.
We ought to really sit back and think and not jump the gun and believe that we are going to be attacked.
That's how we got into that useless war in Iraq and lost so much in Iraq.
Now, you may have astutely noticed that Ron Paul didn't answer the question.
So Brett Baer.
Uh, after the applause died down, said, Congressman Paul, a question was based on the premise that you actually had solid intelligence as President Paul that they got a nuke.
We're not talking about being on a cum.
I'm asking you about solid evidence they've got one, and yet you still at that point would pull back.
U.S. sanctions, and again, as a GOP nominee be running to the left of Barack Obama on this issue?
Yes.
All we're doing is promoting their desire to have it.
They are surrounded, they have a desire.
And how do we treat people when they have a nuclear weapon with a lot more respect?
What did we do with Libya?
We talked to them, we talked them out of their nuclear weapon, and then we killed them.
So it makes more sense to work with people.
And uh the whole thing is that nuclear weapons are loaded over there.
Pakistan and India, Israel has 300 of them.
We have our ships there.
We gotta get it in a proper context.
We don't need another war.
We don't need another war.
I mean, we have enough.
What a do we did a Libya?
Take their nukes away and then kill them.
Okay.
Uh Baer said, Congressman Buckman.
And this was her opening.
She wanted to seize on this.
Congresswoman Bachman, today is the official end to the U.S. military operations in Iraq.
There's real concern, as you know, about growing Iranian influence inside Iraq.
Also, the deputy prime minister there has expressed concerns about the country possibly slipping into a civil wall.
Are there any circumstances as president where you would send U.S. troops back into Iraq?
With all due respect to Ron Paul, I think I have never heard a more dangerous answer for American security than the one that we just heard from Ron Paul.
We know without a shadow of a doubt that Iran will take a nuclear weapon.
They will use it to wipe our ally Israel off the face of the map, and they've stated they will use it against the United States of America.
Look no further than the Iranian constitution, which states unequivocally that their mission is to extend jihad across the world and eventually to set up a worldwide caliphate.
We would be fools and knaves to ignore their purpose and their plan.
Okay, Congressman Paul, she just called you a lunatic and an insaniac.
What is your reply?
Well, I'm a little color there, but I mean that's basically the implication.
What's your reply, Congressman Paul?
To declare war on 1.2 billion Muslims and say all Muslims are the same.
This is dangerous talk.
Yeah, there are some radicals, but they don't come here to kill us because we're free and prosperous.
Do they go to Switzerland and Sweden?
I mean, that's absurd.
What is the whole world about the drone being in Iran?
And we're begging and pleading, and how are we going to start a war to get this drone back?
Why were we flying a drone over Iran?
Why do we have to bomb so many countries?
And you're trying to dramatize this, that we have to go and treat Iran like we've treated Iraq and kill a million Iraqis and eight thousand some Americans have died since we've gone to war.
You cannot solve these problems with war.
Okay.
Now uh got a question in the email.
Somebody said, Well, wait a minute, doesn't didn't Ron Paul just admit that Libya had a nuclear program.
And so why is it so hard to believe Iran has?
Ron Paul wants them to have a nuclear program.
This is what people are missing.
If you he says, look at when you have a nuclear bomb is when you're respected.
Take a look at the way we dealt with the Soviets in the Cold War for 30 years, as opposed to what we're doing with Iraq.
We're talking about bombing Iraq off the face of the air.
We're talking about killing a billion people.
We never talked that way about the Russians because they had The same number of bombs pointed at us.
If you were Iran, you'd want a nuclear bomb too.
Besides, the only reason they won nuclear weapons is because we're making them do it.
It's our fault.
If you were in Iran and you had to face these evil Americans, you'd want a bomb too.
This is anyway.
This this was this was the uh highlight of the night for Congressman Paul.
This is memorable moments in each debate.
That little exchange was his.
Merry Christmas, everybody, and...
Happy holidays at the same time.
Last night, Sioux City, Iowa, live on the Fox News Channel, a Republican candidates debated for the last time before the Hawkeye Cawkeye on January 3rd.
This is one of Newt's moments.
Bret Bear.
In a gingrich administration, would the United States leave the United Nations?
No, but we would dramatically reduce our reliance on it and we'd confront certain realities.
People talk about a peace process.
Eleven missiles were fired into Israel last month.
Last month.
Over 200 missiles have been fired in Israel this year.
You think if we had 11 missiles fired in the United States, we'd have well with this president, he might well say, gee, maybe we could communicate and you would like us more.
But I don't think there's you know, I think most of us, most Americans would say, you know, if you're firing missiles at me, that may not be a very good gesture.
Okay.
The United Nations camps that we have helped fund have been training grounds for terrorism.
We have no obligation to lie and every obligation to tell the truth about how bad the UN bureaucracy is and why it ought to be fixed, or we ought to radically cut what we're paying.
Uh not if for any editorial reason, we've just cut the applause for time, but it went through the roof.
Another newt moment was this.
Megan Kelly, she handled a legal questions last night.
Speaker Gingrich, you have proposed a plan to subpoena judges to testify before Congress about controversial decisions that they make.
In certain cases, you advocate impeaching judges or abolishing the courts altogether.
Two conservative former attorneys general criticized your plan, saying it alters the checks and balances of the three branches of government, and they used words like dangerous, outrageous, totally irresponsible.
Are they wrong?
The courts have become grotesquely dictatorial, far too powerful, and I think frankly arrogant in their misreading of the American people.org.
I've been working on this project since 2002 when the Ninth Circuit Court said that one nation under God is unconstitutional in the Pledge of Allegiance, and I decided if you had judges who were so radically anti-American that they thought one nation under God was wrong, they shouldn't be on the court.
That also brought people out of their seats last night.
There were a lot of moments like that, and it was it was uh an uplifting debate uh throughout the whole time.
It was uh uh attitude, mood of this uh the whole night was productive and good.
But you know, people don't understand the courts, the separation of powers in Congress.
Congress can do anything they want with it.
Congress can totally redistrict the United States.
Who set up the court system, do you think?
Do you think that Oliver Wendell Holmes sat down one day, you know what, this is gonna be the Ninth Circuit.
And over here is gonna be the DC circuit.
Over here is gonna be the Fourth Circuit.
That did not how it happened.
Congress did it.
If Congress wanted to split the Ninth Circus, make it smaller, make fewer people subject to it.
They could.
If they had the votes, if the president goes along with it.
It's it's the founding fathers really did not want an imperial judiciary.
They did not want what we've got.
They did not want judges And bureaucrats writing law.
The people are not represented when that starts happening.
There is no representative republic.
The founding fathers had no intention that the final word on law or anything else be nine people wearing robes.
That was not the intent.
It's where we have evolved.
In fact, not just with legal issues.
How many political issues now end up at the court, and whatever the Supreme Court verdict is, is the final word and authority on a political issue, like abortion.
Sorry, was not the intent.
Judges can be impeached.
Now it is a bit radical to bring them in and start making them explain their decisions.
It's tempting.
But I that that's that's uh well, you know I'll see Hastings.
I mean, there you can impeach them.
Then they run for Congress after that.
But there is a way of dealing with this.
Most people, uh, particularly people who are under 50, peripheral knowledge of the court system and the Constitution, have grown up believing that what happens when a judge bangs a gamble, is it?
That's it.
There's nowhere else you can go.
Once you have gone to the last court that'll hear your case, that's it.
That was never intended.
Particularly when it comes to legal issues.
But with the left politicizing all the judgeships as they can and putting unelectable people on courts, that's where it all started transforming.
Right on open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And back to the phones we go.
Robert Phoenix, nice to have you.
And welcome, sir.
Hi, Russ.
Hi.
Regarding this notion that the rich don't pay their fair share in taxes.
Yeah.
The rich pay the most.
I'm middle class.
I feel I pay a lot.
What's unfair to me is that you, we pay the most and don't use any government services for the most part.
Oh, now wait a second.
That would make watching of Elizabeth Warren, huh?
I hope she's listening.
Ho ho ho.
She thinks she thinks that you use more public services than anybody else, and you don't pay for it, and you're not sharing all the riches that you get as a result of using all the stuff that she and her poor people are paying for.
I take it further.
I say propose I propose raising taxes on the poor, stop paying zero for all they receive except the burden they've replaced they've placed on all of us.
I don't use any of these services.
Well, what kind of what kind of services do you mean?
Let's let's let's uh see if this holds up.
Well, I know Social Security isn't federal income tax, but I pay a lot in Medicare, Social Security.
Um I'm not probably not going to ever use it because when it's time for me to use it, I'm 38 years old, it's not going to be there.
Um roads and police and fire come from the state.
That's about the extent of what I could think I use.
After that, I don't collect unemployment, food stamps.
Um trying to think of some other things, but just where you're going.
You're not part of the entitlement society.
But I pay for it.
But you're paying for it.
Yeah.
You're a rich person, you walk into a store and there's a poor person and you're told you got to buy all of his stuff, you get nothing, and then leave the store when you're done.
Yeah.
I see what you mean.
I thought you were going to go in a different direction.
I thought you were going to say you don't use the roads as much as the poor people.
Or you don't use the public swimming pool as much.
I do use the roads.
Yeah.
But you pay for that, too.
You pay for that, you pay the gasoline taxes, you're no doubt paying for it.
My Arizona license plate taxes are through the roof.
They're ridiculous in this state, but I do pay for that, and I do use that.
But federal income tax, Social Security Medicare, I don't use, and I for what I paid public.
I get it.
I get you know what you're paying far more than your fair share based on what you're taking out.
Based on what you're getting back.
Now I just I want to warn you here, Robert.
The Libs monitor this show all the time, and they're just lurking out there for people like you to go to bat against on their own blogs.
And uh they'll come up with all these hidden things.
Don't waste your time trying to find them.
I'll just tell you what's going to happen.
They'll come up with all these hidden uses of wonderful government services you're not even aware of.
Uh to try to show how greedy and selfish you are, how unthinking.
And the point will be to show how you wouldn't have 90% of what you have if it weren't for government paving the road for you, uh, lighting the street at night for you so get home safe, having a cop so you don't get mauled by somebody.
This is the way they think.
But when you put it in the context that you're talking about, you do not participate in the entitlement society.
Um indisputable.
Glad you called.
Thanks very much.
Who's next?
Uh is that Eileen?
Is that what that is?
Okay, Eileen in Newfield, New Jersey, you're next.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
I am so honored to get on with you.
I have been trying to reach you for years.
I adore you, and you have kept my sanity for the past three years.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
I've been losing mine, but I'm I'm happy yours is intact.
I absolutely adore you.
And thank you so much for taking my call.
Ron Paul is Obama on steroids when it comes to foreign policy and Iran Iran.
He is absolutely lying through his teeth when he says that Israelis are not worried about Iran.
I have family there, I have cousins serving in the IDF.
They know through intelligence that Iran is very close to a nuclear weapon.
And somebody ought to tell him that in Tehran there are billboards all over the place advertising Israel's destruction.
The only person who is going to be a big thing.
You don't need to go to Iran that all you need to do is listen to Mahmud Ahmedinizad.
He'll tell you that.
He's been saying so.
Rick Santorum, I have to tell you, Santorum had a great way of putting this last night.
He said, Look, these guys, the Mullahs, the uh Mahmood Ahmedini Zad, the theocracy there, their belief is that theirs is a nation of martyrdom.
They believe their ultimate success is when they die for the cause.
It was countering Ron Paul and uh his argument that the Iranians are simply harmless people uh made dangerous by virtue of the way we exist, by by virtue of the way we treat them, by virtue of the way we run around the world.
Ron Paul wants people to think if if we were not us, and there was a country in the country uh in the world like America, and we didn't live there, that we would be on edge all.
We'd be worried they're coming to take over our country or bomb us or take our oil or whatever.
Uh all America wants to do is go to war.
And his whole point is that we brought all this on ourselves.
We brought 9-11 on 9-11, we caused it.
We have you're right when you say he's Obama on steroids.
When it comes to foreign policy.
That is an excellent way to put Eileen.
Thanks much for the call.
I appreciate it.
Okay, folks, I almost forgot to mention this our last day of the unique, never ever done before, three-day two if by tea sweepstakes.
As you know, Wednesday, uh, after a huge buildup, and I have to tell you it was a great huge build-up.

We announced a two new flavors for two if by tea.
So now we've got four flavors.
They've got regular, raspberry, peach, and blueberry are the two new ones, diet and regular.
If you didn't hear, if you weren't here Wednesday or Thursday, the two new flavors are peach and blueberry, and there is nothing that compares.
I you know, I have trouble uh talking about my own stuff, but this is just out of this world delicious.
The blueberry, particularly, but I'm partial to it, but the peach, it's just as good, and it is you there's nothing like it.
But it's still tea.
You'll still taste the tea.
You're gonna think you're eating a blueberry muffin or or chewing on a sumptuous peach pie.
Now, in honor of these new flavors, this is the big deal.

But we've never done what we're doing here before.
Eight people, tickets, three days, two nights, and a nice hotel credit toward meals.
Such a wonderful opportunity.
We're having more fun.
Oh, and I gotta show you some.
We had our big Christmas party last night for the first annual two if by tea Christmas party down in Boca.
And the highly underrated two if by tea staff actually made me present.
A Rush Revere Lantern.
Just like the lantern that Rush Revere carried, warning the liberals are coming, as we typify on our mugs in the gift set.
Actually, put this together.
There's the two if by T logo on that side and the Rush Revere signature there.
It's huge.
Very, very well made.
Real candle in there.
I was floored.
I was floored.
The highly overrated staff on the radio site has never done anything like this.
But after just one year, the two of my T staff has already made me something.
This is incredible.
Two if by T.com, 1159 p.m. Eastern tonight.
Pacific tonight is the uh last chance, and you're automatically everyone's simply a purchase.
Don't get your feelings hurt in there.
You know I'm just kidding about all this.
All right.
AP can no longer ignore it.
Now we gave you the news not long ago that the um Rasmussen poll on Obamacare.
Was something like was it 20 polls in a row?
Or it's it's some incredible consecutive string of polls.
A majority of Americans oppose Obamacare, want it repealed.
It was fifty-five thirty-five, something like that.
AP is running a story.
For the first time in their poll, more than half of the American people want Obamacare repealed.
For the first time.
As we start the election year, the re-election year, they can no longer cover it up.
They can no longer hide it.
By the way, folks, we are saved.
The House of Representatives had just approved a one trillion dollar spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
There wasn't going to be.
You know, the American people don't even fool by this anymore.
You people in Washington, I don't care what part you've gone to this well too many times.
How many times in this last 12 months have we faced a so-called government shutdown over the debt ceiling or some other imaginary continuing resolution budget crisis, and now we tried it again.
Dingy Harry this week.
Might be a government shutdown.
Sorry, you're not scaring us.
The government never gets shut down.
We wish it would be.
Official Washington, you're going to have to learn we do not quake in our boots when we hear the government might be shut down.
What quakes our boots, or what makes us quake in our boots, is seeing how much money you're spending to avoid the shutdown.
Brian in Sonoma, California.
Great to have you on the EIB Network on Open Line Friday.
Hello, sir.
How are you doing, Rush?
Good.
Thank you, sir.
Well Mega Ditto's from Sonoma, California Thank you very much.
I've been there.
Um, it's open lane Friday, and I just wanted to kind of try a couple of things.
Um listener, um, followed you from the beginning.
I got a couple of rush babies, so if I could give a shout out to my kid, that'd be great.
Sure.
Um, Jade Clay and Lily, because we're all gonna listen to this again later.
They're gonna get a kick out of it.
Um I never thought I would be calling for something that wasn't political.
I just want to chat about airplanes and maybe a little football.
Well, go for it.
I got about a minute and a half, so go for it.
Oh, okay, cool.
So um uh you've got a lot of opportunities to fly lots of different kinds of airplanes.
Did you ever get up in something else besides your your your golf stream?
Yes, but but all uh just airline jets last uh real airplane that one really fly was uh Cessna 182.
Oh, okay.
Um I was just kind of curious if you did like um, you know, World War II T6, uh, oh I love them.
I've never been I've never been up in any of those.
Uh-huh.
Never been up, but but I've yeah, I've been to air shows, I've seen those things.
Um I'm fascinated by flight.
I know you are, and that's why I thought I would try this, because uh my company does a Channel 9, and we used to put your well still do put your uh show on on Channel 9 and get a little flack from people every once in a while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember.
That's happened periodically throughout my my career.
It's a highlight.
Uh irritating people like that.
Yeah, mine too.
Um then uh a little bit of football.
So 49ers are gonna play the Steelers on Monday.
Any predictions?
Yeah, I think uh it's unknown right now whether Rothlisberger is gonna be able to play uh because of the high ankle sprain.
Fortiners, on the other hand, have uh problems in the red zone.
However, they're playing the Steelers, which are like Swiss cheese in the red zone.
Uh home game for the Forders.
Steelers need it more.
I um I don't I I just this is a toughie if Rothlessburger well definitely playing it, no no question, Steelers win the game, and I'm still gonna pick the Steelers.
Still pick them straight up.
No question about it.
