Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations all the time.
It's just who I am.
It's just the way it is.
And it happens to be Friday.
Let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Telephone number.
You ought to be on the program 800-282-288-2.
And the email address Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
Now, for those of you new to the program, Open Line Friday.
We call it open line because it's the one day of the week that callers can talk about pretty much anything.
Monday through Thursday.
I mean, this show is too important to just leave hopscotching all over the place on stuff that I don't care about.
If I don't care about it, well, I'm going to sound bored.
I'm going to be bored, and then nobody's going to want to listen.
But on Friday, in the interests of just being a good guy, nice guy, of fairness and all that.
I extend to callers the rare opportunity not found in major media today where the audience can actually determine what it is that's talked about.
So whatever you want to talk about is fine today.
I mean, it doesn't have to be politics at all.
It could be a question or comment about anything.
Use your imagination.
And again, the telephone number's 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
This getting a lot of play.
Obama apologizing to Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan.
Newt was not happy about it, spoke Ken Washington, a campaign event.
Newt Gingrich about Obama and his apology to Afghanistan for the troops burning the holy Quran.
President Obama surrendered twice today.
And I think it deserves to be brought to the country's attention.
The more outrageous involves the killing of two young Americans and wounding of four others in Afghanistan.
Now, apparently there was an incident where an amount of radical Islamist material was being burned.
Apparently the Quran was part of that.
That has now been blown into a huge incident by various fanatics in Afghanistan.
The president apologized for the burning.
But I haven't seen the president demand that the government of Afghanistan apologize for the killing of two young Americans.
He is consistently apologizing to people who do not deserve the apology of the President of the United States, period.
What was it that Newt said?
I'm going to have to paraphrase him.
If you're an ally of the United States, you got trouble.
With Obama.
With this regime.
I'm paraphrasing it, but that's essentially what he said.
And I'm reminded of it by virtue of this.
Obama wants it running around apologizing.
And, you know, yesterday, uh Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, was on MSNBC with the aforementioned Jonathan Capehart.
And they were talking about gay marriage and how Christie had vetoed gay marriage bill in New Jersey.
Cape Hart, who uh is is uh out, he's openly gay, was arguing with Christie about this, and Christie was making the point that Obama wants it both ways on this.
Obama did the guts to stand up for his real position on this.
And uh basically told K Part that Obama is exhibiting cowardice.
It's look, have him come on this show and tell you what he really thinks about it.
And Cape Hart is just a slave for Obama, whatever Obama wants, whatever Obama wants out their message-wise K. Hart's right in there to uh to promote it.
So yet Christy yesterday, basically calling Obama a coward, Rudolph Rudy Giuliani was on Aaron Burnett's show on CNN last night.
She said, uh polls say that the American people do not want a nuclear Iran.
They support military action to prevent it, but it does feel in a lot of ways a lot like Iraq.
People are saying, Well, they want to do this.
Went in last time on bad intelligence.
Not really sure that the Iranians have a nuke.
I mean, what should we do here, Mr. Mayor?
President Obama has made this much more complicated by being such a weakling with regard to Iran.
You know, a month ago, he writes a letter to the Ayatollah asking the ISO to talk to him.
This is absurd writing a letter to the Ayatollah.
It's like writing a letter to Hitler.
Instead, what he should be doing is convincing the Iranians that he's serious.
That if he had to, he'd bomb the hell out of them.
And they should believe this.
In fact, the best way he's going to avoid bombing them is convincing them in their heads that he's capable of doing it.
And I think is there somebody 23?
I've got things.
It's Rudy, right?
Yeah, and this this is Rudy continues, called him a weakling.
So you got you got Christie calling him a coward.
Now Giuliani calling him a weakling, and Giuliani wasn't through mocking him.
Please give us back the drone, Mr. Ayatollah.
Please give me the drone back.
That really helps, right?
All right, but he got tougher, Mayor Giuliani.
That's how we're doing it.
Rudy Giuliani with Aaron Burnett making fun of Obama for asking the Ayatollahs for our for our drone back.
Please give us our drone back, Mr. Ayatollah, please.
Now we had a guy on the phone here moments ago, and I told Sturdly, I said, put him up to the front of the line.
So Sturdily goes to tell a guy you're coming up at the front of the line, and snurdly says he's gone.
Where was this guy from?
Do you remember?
He's in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
You remember his name?
Grant from Tulsa, Grant, you blew it.
I mean, you were going to be the next call.
And what it said up there that Grant was going to say is he talks to a lot of people, right?
He talks to a lot of people, and everybody he's talking to, and everybody he's hearing talk thinks that GOP is nuts.
Right.
Yeah, over the contraception issue.
He's here.
It's bothering me, kind of like my buddy out in Arizona.
What are we doing?
We're talking about it, boy.
What are we doing?
Meanwhile, the ABC Washington Post poll is out saying Santa Rome's popularity is up.
By the way, I'm looking at the methodology of that poll.
I'll have further information about that poll in the next busy broadcast segment.
So old Grant from Tulsa was going to try to say, everybody.
And I know some of you in this audience probably don't like this.
You're very nervous about it.
And you um, let's face it, way too many of us.
Way in fact, let me amend that.
Way too many of you, because I don't do this anymore.
Way too many of you care, way, way too much about what other people think.
And you know what's bad about that?
Aside from just it being bad, in order to care what other people think, you have to subordinate yourself to them.
You're automatically saying those people are smarter, or they're better, or they're hipper, or whatever, but they're certainly smarter, better, or more hip than you are.
Otherwise, you wouldn't care what they think.
And that's one of the aspects of that whole thing.
It's always bothered me.
Now we're raised this way, by the way.
It's called being polite and being humble, and not being braggadocious.
I got over that a long time ago.
A lot of people, they're prisoners to what other people think.
In fact, a lot of people lead their lives based on what they think others think.
And based on what they want others to think, rather than how they think about themselves.
So everybody running around, oh man, all these people, Republicans are nuts, and I'm a Republican.
Oh, they think I'm a nut.
Oh, they think I'm a cook.
I'm an abortion freak.
I'm a contraception freak.
Who are they?
Why are they any better than you are?
They vote, Mr. Lambault.
That's why we're not concerned about them being better than we are.
It's concerted because they vote and they're misinformed, and well, okay, if they're misinformed, then tell them.
Now I've got some stories about this as why I let into it that way.
First up, from the Huffing and Puffington Post, Newt Gingrich calls Obama an extremist who supported infanticide at the Republican debate.
Do you realize?
I have looked at this.
Do you realize how many Democrats do not know this about Obama?
Do you realize how many people in the media do not know this about Obama?
It's not that the media knew about it and didn't report it.
They didn't know.
They didn't know that as a state senator, Obama sponsored a bill, and he did more than sponsor.
I mean, he.
This is the one time he invested every bit of his power as a state legislator to uh allow doctors to finish the job if they botch the abortion and the baby is born live.
Obama sponsored and promoted that legislation.
That's why Newt called it infanticide.
And I'm watching the reaction to this, and I'm stunned.
Either they're lying through their teeth when they say they didn't know what didn't know anything about it.
A guy in the Politico, what's his name?
Alexander Burns, he was so clueless about it, he thought Newt was talking about partial birth abortion.
It wasn't, and he wrote a piece making fun of Newt for not knowing what he was talking about.
And then a couple of conservative commenters to the guy's blog at the political corrected him.
And he ran a uh one of his update corrections on his blog.
A couple of conservative readers suggested I might be wrong in razzing Gingrich on this, as his point referred to this legislation specifically, and then the guy links to a nationalreview.com story.
Rather than late-term abortion in general, Obama may or may not have been asked about that during the race.
The truth.
It's still CYA for these guys.
Or COA.
Cover Obama's rear end.
Because what Newt's claim was, okay, you're gonna sit here and you're gonna ask us all night about contraception.
And I don't remember the elite media asking Barack Obama about his support for infanticide.
And so now, rather than deal with did Obama actually do that, they're out trying to find if Newt, if Obama was ever asked about it.
To try to prove Newt wrong on his point that Obama wasn't asked about it.
But in terms of looking into the details and doing a story on Obama supporting infanticide, ain't no way that's gonna happen.
How can they not know?
I'm well, yeah, okay, they listen to me, but they think I make things up.
They think I lie, and I'll tell you something, no snerdly, if Media Matters doesn't tell them what I say, they don't know what I say.
I'm talking about anybody, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News, NBC, if they don't listen to me, that's where you're wrong.
They read media matters.
That's where they find out what supposedly happened on this program.
And if media matters doesn't tell them that I spent a lot of time talking about Obama and Infanticide, they'll never know it.
And they'll never know it on their own because as we have well documented, they live in a bubble.
They're not curious.
They're hacks.
They have an agenda, they are part of a movement, and their daily existence is to move it forward, to advance the cause.
Here, here's the Huffing and Puffington Post.
The Republican presidential candidates on Wednesday night took shots at Obama for his pro-choice history.
Newt Gingrich deflected a question about Obama's recent decision mandating employers' insurance plans cover contraception by pointing out that Obama voted in favor of a law that protected abortion providers during his see.
Protected abortion provider.
That's how it's that's how it's reported.
Protecting abortion providers.
Either a planned parenthood doctor or a hospital doctor who botches the abortion is allowed to finish the job after the baby's born alive.
That's the legislation.
That's infanticide.
You've got a live breathing baby that was supposed to have been aborted.
The abortionist botches it.
The Illinois law that Obama sponsored and promoted allows the doctor to kill the baby to finish the job.
And they refer to that as protecting abortion providers.
And they say that you didn't once during the 08 campaign ask why Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide.
If we're going to debate about who is the extremist on this issue, it's President Obama, who was a state senator voted to protect doctors who kill babies.
And that's all the story says.
How can there be no comment after this?
It's as if infanticide is no more controversial than voting in a highway bill.
Honestly.
It's no more controversial voting on a high bill.
Oh, Obama, oh, okay, no, nothing to see here.
Well, let's focus on whether or not Obama was actually asked about it.
So they start doing fact checks on that.
And that becomes the focus of the story.
And that's where this Alexander Burns guy of Politico.
Surprise, Newt Gingrich is attacking the press, coming out of the dates first break.
John King read off a question.
Whether the candidates' views on contraception.
And as the audience booed, Gingrich assumed a familiar role, taking a talking over Mitt Romney, winding up for a denunciation in mainstream media.
And he goes on to describe Gingrich as being critical of Obama for late term or partial term, partial birth abortion.
And he has to be corrected by a couple of his readers.
Now, companion story here.
This is from Fox News.
Seven states filed a lawsuit yesterday to block Obama's requirement that religious organizations offer health insurance coverage that includes free access to contraception for women.
The attorneys general of Texas, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina jointly filed a lawsuit in a Nebraska U.S. district court.
This is along the lines of that North Carolina story where the federal agent was investigating the school lunch boxes of fourth graders and determining that the parents had not packed a healthy lunch and took it away from the little four-year-old and made her eat chicken McNuggets.
And of course, the real point of that story was a federal agent telling a four-year-old that her mommy wasn't properly caring for her.
That we at the government are doing it.
So you may think that this contraception stuff is a you may shudder and cower in fear, get all nervous.
Oh, gosh, can we stop talking about that?
What about the in the meantime?
We're losing our religious liberty over this.
Obama is acting as a dictator on this.
And at least seven states now have stood up and said to heck with this.
The issue isn't going away.
And I'll tell you something else.
The Democrats will they are going to rue the day that they ever concede this trick because it is going to backfire on them.
A little bit here on the methodology of the Washington Post poll.
And sure enough, it was a poll of adults, not voters.
Not voters, not likely voters, not registered voters, but adults.
That means.
No, no, no, no, no, don't smile startly.
What that means is that statistically and based on experience, two out of three respondents in this poll don't vote.
That's why polling done is done with uh registered voters, likely voters, and adults.
So the Santora maybe C poll where he's less unpopular than Romney and Gingrich, and where he's becoming more popular with Republican and Democrat and independent women is a poll of adults.
A group polling-wise statistically, that two out of three don't vote.
So it uh lends credence to the uh notion that the poll's rigged that it's faked to produce uh a desired result for the pollster.
Uh Ron in Cincinnati, open line Friday.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Mega computing dudes.
Thank you.
I was wanting to know what your first home computer was.
I've been wanting to know for many years.
I've I've never heard you uh say.
My first home computer was an Apple II C. Oh, I remember using those in school.
Yeah, as a tiny little thing.
It was not the two E, it was a 2C.
And it was I had it for about a year and then made the plunge to a Macintosh.
Yeah, I was a Commodore uh and Commodore Amiga guy back in the day.
I was getting on uh internet with uh and a Commodore 64.
That was a game console.
The Commodore?
Yeah, that was playing games on it.
I I programmed the thing.
Ram bulletin boards back in the day.
Well, all I remember about the t the two C I remember Roy Scheider used one in the second um uh 2001 Space Odyssey.
Uh yeah.
2010, this whatever the sequel they made was.
Yeah, yeah, but 2010.
You had to be a good one.
2010.
Bob Balaban was in it, and he's using one on the beach.
And I said, What it's not possible.
A screen's not bright enough to use one of these things outside.
Yeah.
But it used the ProDOS system as opposed to MS DOS.
And I was my first one, and I I it was you know, I was like a kid in a candy store.
That's when I first started downloading it's just uh Apple's version of uh MS DOS, just their their their version of code, but operating system.
That was a year later, went to the Mac.
Yeah, so it's not it had to be 1985 that I got the Apple IIC, and I had CompuServe and the Dow Jones News Retrieval, and that's when I started uh download CompuServe back then, AP didn't know what was going on.
UPI did not know what was going on.
You had access to everything.
UPI AP didn't know it.
It was so new you were you were you were able to pirate the feed, and AP took them a few years, they figured out what was going on and started instituting now the the price that you had to pay.
Uh for a while there it was cool and Dow Jones News Retrieval, and the monitor was green dots, and I had an ink jet printer to it took forever to print things.
I did.
I e I started emailing the same with it with that computer.
Started emailing with that computer.
I don't remember what the program was.
It was if some whatever was built into the to the uh 2C and quickly um then went to the Macintosh after after a year.
But no, I I've I've had every top of the line Mac desktop that there is.
Every time they came out with a new rev I got one.
No, they're I think they're gonna re gonna they're gonna they're gonna uh have one more rev of the Mac Pro in the third quarter of this year, and then it's probably done.
One more rev. And I can't wait because it's the only thing they've got that doesn't have Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt is this wicked fast data transfer is like twice as fast as Firewire.
800.
Anyway, I want to go back.
Audio soundbite.
This is we had this.
We played this during the uh campaign of 2008.
This happened April 2002.
It's at the Illinois State Senate.
It's 17 seconds of Obama describing infanticide.
And that essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.
What he's talking about here is the original the the the burden of decision means the woman's decision is to abort.
So they do the procedure.
Something goes wrong, imagine that, and the baby's born alive.
The legislation brings in another doctor to finish the job so as not to burden the woman with an unwanted child, And to take the original doctor off the hook and not have him undergoing a guilt trip.
And that's what the legislation was.
Isn't that what Newt Gingrich was talking about?
And he was saying how come nobody, you know, you're talking about extremism?
Nobody asked Obama that in 2008.
So they immediately start doing a fact check to find out if indeed Obama was asked about it, and they said, well, of course he was.
He was asked about partial birth abortion all the time.
This is not partial birth abortion.
This is boxed abortion.
To uh Toronto, Canada.
Steve, I'm glad you waited, and great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
How are you doing?
I'm a big fan of yours from Canada.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I appreciate that.
I wish we had an equivalent rush down here for us to listen to.
You well, I can't have everything.
I understand that.
What I wanted to say is I think the Republicans are total suckers.
I mean, we have a conservative government up here.
And when I look at blogs and posts, we're talking about money, deficits, government spending, the phony green movement, things like that.
I look down there.
You guys are talking about abortion, religion, contraception.
Isn't this the Achilles heal of the Republican Party?
We're always letting the libs control the narrative.
We uh we we got all that stuff on our blogs until um the whole question of contraception was raised by George Stephanopoulos on March 7th, and then it uh it it came up recently again.
This is you're right, it was the Democrats, it was Obama who uh put this into the uh public dialogue, and the reason he did is because he acted in this totally extra constitutional way by mandating contraceptions, contraceptives be provided by the Catholic Church and its schools and so forth, and that that's what entered all this stuff into the uh in the public arena.
Oh, and didn't it take down Romney last time because he's a Mormon?
Uh no, uh no, this had nothing to do with taking down Romney last time.
What took down Romney last time was Huckerby and McCain and Charlie Christ.
Well, I I remember the Mormon thing seemed to be talked about quite a bit.
Uh well, but in terms of abortion and contraception?
Uh no, the fact that he's a Mormon.
It was talked about a lot of time.
Oh, oh, oh, you're introducing a second element of the discussion.
Oh, oh.
Well, what's going on down here is that Obama is losing his butt.
Obama is in deep trouble and needed to stir up his base.
He was really polling poorly with women, and they had to drum up this phony contraception business.
The Republicans were not talking about it, Steve.
The Republicans didn't care about it until Obama, in violation of the First Amendment, mandated that churches and insurance companies provide it free.
That's a violation of religious liberty.
And he did this on purpose to stir up his base.
And even now, I I'm getting emails even now from supposed friends and acquaintances, and uh people who feel the need to advise me.
I'm making them nervous by continually discussing this.
And they're just begging me to do, would you stop it?
Would you stop it?
They're saying things like women don't follow this.
Women are not logical, Rush.
You're losing them, you're doing you're doing great harm.
I know you're trying to help, but women don't think this way.
When they don't when they hear contraception, they don't think of religious liberty in Obama.
They're thinking Republicans want to keep them in the okay.
So I'll tell you what I'll do.
No more.
I'm gonna put a restriction on open line Friday.
Which we hardly ever do.
No more discussion of contraception, no more discussion of abortion.
I will not mention anymore that Obama believed in infanticide, uh because it makes you so nervous.
I will not discuss how Obama is violating the First Amendment and taking away religious liberty.
I'm not gonna discuss it.
We will not discuss abortion, we will not discuss contraception, we will not discuss abortive fashions in any way.
We just will not do it.
Too many of you People are getting nervous and thinking that I am leading the party down to certain doom and defeat.
So that's it.
You don't want to hear it discussed.
Do you think it's a guaranteed loser?
Fine.
We'll let Romney and Santorum and these guys determine what's talked about and Obama and we'll go from there.
We'll move on to Pond Scum.
That's it.
We'll do I'm gonna take a brief time out.
We'll take a brief time, we'll come back and we'll get into pond scum as a substitute for oil.
Alright, a special treat.
Uh for those of you watching on the Ditto Cam.
I'm going to put the equivalent of a condom on my microphone.
I used to do this in the Rush to Excellence Tour way back in the late 80s.
I would put a condom on my microphone.
Uh therefore to protect people from any profanity that I might utter.
A condom would shield it all out.
It would never escape the microphone down the electrical circuitry to the speakers, the amplifier, or any of that.
And so I'm going to put, I've got a latex glove here.
It will serve the purpose of a condom, and you watching the little camb will watch me deploy this.
And so that if I utter the word contraception, or if anybody wants to talk about abortion, you won't hear it.
you Oops.
It's a little tight.
Let me trim it.
And there we go.
See how this works.
See how easy this is.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, you are shielded, you are protected.
Even if I utter if somebody tries to, it will not happen.
I want to move on to pond scum.
Because the president said that algae is our ticket.
It's our ticket out of this mess of high gasoline price of it.
Coral Gables, Florida.
Yesterday afternoon at the University of Miami, and this is part of what he said.
We're making new investments in the development of gasoline and diesel and jet fuel that's actually made from a plant-like substance.
Algae.
You got a bunch of algae out here.
Right?
If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we'll be doing all right.
How do you think the people down there felt to be in such nearness to such brilliance?
The light, the glow, the eminence that was emanating from the one.
How could Beble even bear to look at him?
Such is the intelligence that he exudes.
We're making new investments in the development of gasoline and diesel jet fuel actually made from pond scum.
I'm surprised he didn't say we got more pond scum here than they have anywhere in the world.
He wasn't through.
He said, believe it or not, we could replace up to 17% of the oil that we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America.
This is the smartest man in the world.
This is our Messiah.
This is Mr. Hopi Changey.
This is the guy who was unlike any politician America had ever seen.
This was the great unifier.
This was the guy with the solution to all of our problems, Pond scum.
And he continued as he has been doing for his entire administration, making fun of the concept of drilling.
He keeps talking about, well, you couldn't say drill, drill, drill, drill, but that's not that's not a solution.
He says for two reasons.
He said that's not an immediate solution.
It's going to take two to three years.
They've been saying that for 30 years, folks.
For 30 years, we have been suggesting drill, baby drill, and it's no, no, no, it's not going to take effect for three to five years.
It's not an immediate fix.
Imagine 30 years ago if we would have just started new drilling, new exploration.
Where we would be today.
Where are we?
We're listening to the president of the United States actually tell us that our salvation, the answer to six dollar a gallon gasoline, is freaking pond scum.
I see it every day.
Every time I'm on a golf course, still waters on the lake.
I see that stuff just not even.
It's floating, but it's not even moving.
It's so gunky and thick.
And I didn't have the slightest idea that I was looking at the new source of American wealth and the new source of America's energy independence.
I hadn't the slightest idea.
Let's listen to more from our fearless leader, Barack Hussein Obama in Florida yesterday.
Now, some politicians, they see this as a political opportunity.
I know you're shocked by that.
Last week the lead story in one newspaper said gasoline prices are on the rise, and Republicans are licking their chops.
That's a quote.
That was the lead.
Licking their chops.
Only in politics do people root for bad news.
Do they greet bad news so enthusiastically?
You pay more, they're licking their chops.
Yeah.
I remember in 2002, uh, ladies and gentlemen, you remember this Richard Gephardt.
Running around, he was happy as he could be.
When the stock market was plummeting, Geffhart was happy.
He was happily proclaiming, yeah, for every hundred point drop in the stock market, we pick up another point in the polls.
It's time to revise an oldie but goody.
And Mr. President, it's true today.
What's good for America is bad for you and your party.
And what's bad for America is good for you and your party.
And that's where the Democrat Party is positioned.
They are the ones that run around and celebrate bad news.
They're the ones happy as it can be when gas prices were going up in a George W. Bush.
That was a political opportunity for them.
One more sound bite from Mr. Pond scum solution.
You can bet that since it's an election year, they're already dusting off their three-point plan for two dollar gas.
And I'll save you the suspense.
Step one is to drill, and step two is to drill.
And then step three is to keep drilling.
We heard the same line in 2007 when I was running for president.
We hear the same thing every year.
We've heard the same thing for 30 years.
Well, the American people aren't stupid.
They know that's not a plan.
Stop whoa!
Especially since we're already dressed for 30 years.
That's right.
We've been hearing let's drill for 30 years, and people like you have been standing in the way.
If we had been drilling the last 30 years, then it wouldn't be five years from now before we would see any benefit.
We would be in the middle in the midst of the benefit.
This guy, this guy pounds the final nail in the coffin of his own idea.
He'd been saying it for 30 years.
30 years, yeah.
And if we had been drilling for 30 years, we wouldn't have to be looking at pond scum.
And another thing, we wouldn't be looking at six dollar a gallon gasoline.
Now, the president, uh, ladies and gentlemen, also, know there's nothing wrong with your radio or your radio station.
Uh if you're just tuning in, uh got a latex glove on the microphone, it's uh doing the job that a condom would do.
Because uh Republicans in my audience are tired of me discussing I can't say.
And uh they think it's gonna drive off all the voters and we're gonna lose social issues stuff.
So I got this latex glove on the microphone acting as a condom to protect you from anything that you might not want to hear.
Let's see if it works.
Abortion!
Did you hear it?
Yeah, but you did it wasn't clear.
Contraception.
You hear it?
Well, I'm trying anyway.
They also say that the United States only has two percent of the world's oil reserves.
With fracking, it is now established that we have what could be the largest deposits of oil in the world.
This 2% business.
They use that because reserves.
