Time Text
Greetings, great to have you back, Rush Limbaugh.
Here we are on the EIB Network.
We come to you from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address, El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Let's see.
There's polling data out.
The battleground poll.
The battleground poll is Ed Goaz in Salinda Lake.
Well, it used to be Ed Goaz.
I'm assuming it's still Ed Goaz.
He's the Republican.
She's the Democrat.
They have a joint poll out there.
It's highly reputed.
And it is called the Battleground Poll.
And there's a new battleground poll out showing Romney beating Obama straight up.
The left is beside themselves over this.
New battleground poll shows Romney beating Obama.
On the MSNBC this morning, the infamous Kathy Kay, British reporter, I think it was Kathy Kay.
I'm not quite sure.
I think it was Katie Kay, said that in essence, the public perception on the economy differs from all the rosy virtual BS coming out of the White House, just like Stan Greenberg's poll said, that trying to create this virtual picture of an economy roaring back won't work because people don't live it.
They don't sense it.
They don't feel it.
Then they said something very interesting.
It doesn't mean anything now.
They all started talking, the roundtable on Scarborough Show started talking about when the jobs will come back.
And they referenced Bush 41, George H.W. Bush, who had a recession end a full year before the election in 1992.
And it didn't help him.
Now, why didn't it help him?
Well, because if you were paying attention back in 1992, the Clinton campaign was the worst economy in the last 50 years.
So now finally, the drive-bys admit that there was no recession in 1992, that the whole Clinton campaign was a bald-faced lie.
I'm sure this is an inadvertent admission by these people.
But the reason it came up, because they think, okay, if the American people can be convinced that the economy is roaring back, the recession's over, then maybe it'll help Obama.
They say, well, you know, recession ended a year earlier.
It didn't help George H.W. Bush.
Yeah, well, it's because you guys are out there lying about it.
In addition to this being a Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, a Limbaugh Institute for Sexual Research today.
Folks, you realize that you can get in Washington, D.C., if you ask the Department of Healthcare, they will send you free condoms.
They will send you free condoms.
You don't have to go to Nancy Pelosi and ask for thousands of dollars in free birth control pills.
And they'll even throw in the lube.
So if we're going to sit here, if we're going to have to pay for this, then we want something in return, Ms. Fluke.
And that would be the videos of all this sex posted online so we can see what we are getting for our money.
Now let's go to the audio soundbites.
Let's listen to the congressional reaction to this because they are fit to be tied.
They want me drawn and quartered.
First up is Barbara Boxer.
Last night on Politics Nation, that's Reverend Sharpton's show.
And Sharpton said, What do you make of this poison atmosphere?
Like, what do you make of these statements of the day by Rush Lombard?
Rush Limbaugh has insulted and hurt every woman in America.
99% of women have used some form of birth control in her lifetime.
So he has now said we're all just terrible human beings.
And if I was a woman who listened to Rush Limbaugh, I would turn off that die.
I would turn him out of my life because I think people will be disgusted by what he said, truly.
Well, what did I say?
I said if we're paying for this, it makes these women sluts, prostitutes.
And what else could it be if we are buying it?
There's a couple of stories here.
This fundraising email for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee.
I got it right here.
And they got a picture of me that makes me look here.
I'm going to zoom in on this.
It's a small picture.
I'm going to zoom in on the ditto cam.
I'm zooming right now.
I just don't want you to watch the Zoom take place.
I'm doing this while also speaking to you and not losing a syllable or a thought.
Okay, let me see.
I can zoom in a little tighter.
That's it.
Are you ready?
3-2-1.
That's the picture of me that they have posted on their does that not look like Nosferatu.
I look like Klaus Kinske in the movie Nosferatu.
Okay, that's that.
I'm going to zoom back out now and get the ditto cam in its, if it'll work.
There we go, in its normal frame.
Three, two, one.
There we go.
Okay, let me read the letter to you.
What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex?
What does that make her?
Makes her slut, right?
Makes her a prostitute.
Well, I am absolutely repulsed right now.
Susan Fluke, the courageous Georgetown law student, had the strength to stand up in Congress against Republican attacks on birth control, is now under attack from the right wing.
First, House Republicans refused to let her testify.
Now they think they can shame us into silence.
And they go on to ask for money.
Defeat anti-women Republicans contribute deadline midnight tonight.
And it's just hilarious.
I want to know who bought, Ms. Fluke, who bought your condoms in junior high.
Who bought your condoms in the sixth grade?
Or your contraception?
Who bought your contraceptive pills in high school?
Wouldn't you be just as likely to go broke in high school and junior high as you would be in college?
Who paid for them then?
Ms. Fluke, because of Obamacare, you are still on your parents' insurance coverage.
Why don't your parents' policy provide your contraceptions?
Why do we have to?
You're still a child, according to Obamacare.
Of course, the rest of us have had it confirmed.
Al Sharpton, when he heard what I said, he said, resist we much.
Sharpton was unaware.
What did Lombard say?
He said, resist we much.
Here's Frank the Lautenberg.
He was on the Senate floor this morning.
Yesterday, we heard something astounding.
Came from Rush Limbaugh, who's a prime voice of modern conservatism in this country.
What he said yesterday, and I had it checked because I wanted to be sure that I'm not misquoting anything, said, a woman who wants affordable birth control is, and I quote him here, a prostitute.
Talking about your wife, your sister, your daughter, your child.
Hateful.
Ugly language.
And we condemn it.
Where'd he get it checked?
Probably media matters, but of course it's not what I said.
He's forgetting the way this whole thing happened.
A woman goes up to congressional committee and says, I'm having sex so damn much, I'm going broke.
What the heck is going on here?
This is why I tell you, it's phony soldiers times 10.
And we're not through.
Maria Cantwell, senator from Washington, MSNBC live this morning.
The anchor said, Rush Limbaugh yesterday squarely aimed his words at Sandra Fluke, questioning her virtue.
I'm not questioning her virtue.
I know what her virtue is.
She's having so much sex that she's going broke.
There's no question about her virtue.
Rush Limbaugh yesterday squarely aimed his words at Sandra Flew, questioning her virtue, doing so in a pretty rude manner on the airwaves.
How do you feel about her character?
Her virtue being questioned?
And is she being treated like a political football between the parts?
Her virtue is not in question.
Her virtue being questioned?
Who is this anchor?
Thomas Roberts.
Thomas, do you have any question about her virtue?
Is it still an open question to you?
Anyways, Maria Cantwell is what she said.
There is no call for those kinds of comments.
Those are very inappropriate, and they should be repudiated by lots of people.
This is about something that women have fought for and guaranteed the right to get access.
I don't think it's being denied.
I don't think contraception is not being denied access to it.
Like I tell you, if you're D.C. Department of Health, you call them up.
They'll send this stuff to you free.
They'll send your condoms free.
Well, we got a sound bite here about that.
They're worried about back alley contraception.
Well, here, Jackie Spire, Representative Jackie Speyer, Democrat California, this morning on the House floor.
I rise this morning to say to Rush Limbaugh, shame on you.
Shame on you for being the hate monger that you are.
Shame on you for being misogynistic.
Shame on you for calling the women of this country sluts and prostitutes.
Because that's what he did.
98% of the women in this country at some time in their lives use birth control.
And yet he went on the air recently and called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute because she was trying to access birth control pills as a third-year law student at Georgetown.
So I say to the women in this country, do something about this.
Stop supporting the hate mongering of Rush Limbaugh.
Right.
So again here, you see how they play this and misrepresent it, but I just find all this hilarious.
No, I've already said that.
I'd buy all these women aspirins.
Put them between their knees like Andrew Mitchell does.
I would do that.
Who's now?
Sheila Jackson Lee.
Sheila Jack.
Have a couple of them here.
On the February 29th show, Mr. Lumbaugh repeatedly used sexually charged, offensive, obscene language to malign the character of a courageous young woman, a private citizen.
Courageous.
Re-cue that to the top.
Courageous.
Having so much sex, she's going broke at Georgetown Law.
Ah, gosh, I love this.
Pretty soon, you know what?
We're going to have these women talk about how embarrassing it is to have to go to the pharmacy and not be able to pay for your birth control pills.
How embarrassing it is.
You can see the embarrassment etchered on women's faces at CVS.
Oh, it says?
It is?
Who did?
What, cut five?
Where's cut five?
We got, where's oh, Sandra Fluke said it?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I got to hear it.
Here, play it.
One told us of how embarrassed and just powerless she felt when she was standing at the pharmacy counter and learned for the first time that contraception was not covered on her insurance.
And she had to turn and walk away because she couldn't afford that prescription.
Women like her have no choice but to go without contraception.
Just last week, a married female student told me that she had to stop using contraception because she and her husband just couldn't fit it into their budget anymore.
Wow.
Holy, who paid for the sex and the contraceptions in the back seat of the car way back when?
So it's embarrassing to go to the drugstore and not be able to pay and find out that the birth control pills are not covered by the insurance privilege.
You see embarrassment etched all over her face.
No, we're missing the no, no, the point here is stopping to folks for all the hilarity that's contained.
What's going on here?
Here's a woman exercising no self-control.
The fact that she wants to have repeated, never-ending, as often as she wants it sex.
Given.
No question about that.
Of course, that's normal.
Well, that's just who are you, Limbaugh?
Where have you been?
And then from that, we're to pay for it.
And if there is any objection to it, then there's racism, bigotry, sexism, misogyny.
We got a killer disease out here, apparently.
And that is women who can't afford contraception or don't want to pay for it, even though they can't afford it.
One more Sheila Jackson Lee, then we'll finish with this.
And so I know that I'm standing here in the face of the fairness doctrine that does not require any media to offer a contravening point.
I would command Rush Limbaugh to invite us on and talk about constructive ways of helping women.
I give him every opportunity to have some guests where we can call in.
I don't think that is possible, but I will challenge all the women of the house.
Let's try to dial that number.
800-282-2882.
You know, folks, millions of women enjoy sex in the back of a car, yet some women can't afford a car.
What are we to do?
What is our solution to women who prefer sex in the backseat of a car but can't afford a car?
Now, I've run some numbers here.
Did you notice In that sound, I was Sheila Jackson Lear or Maria Cantwell or one of them talked about the strength, the strength that Sandra Fluke had to go before Congress, which is amazing.
She's having so much sex.
It's amazing she can still walk.
But she made it up there.
Takes a lot of courage to ask for something free, folks.
Takes a lot of strength to ask for freebies, doesn't it?
I'm being facetious.
You know what the solution here?
Why doesn't Georgetown lawyer tuition?
Here are the numbers we read.
At Georgetown right now, Georgetown law costs $45,000 per year, $20,000 for room and board, sex not included.
So tuition in room and board is $60,000 a year, and this woman's up at Congress asking for thousands of dollars for birth control pills.
This place, I'm going to tell you what, this college, this law school, they need to establish a new scholarship, the Wilt Chamberlain Scholarship.
Look at what exclusively for women.
Who's next?
We're going to go to the phone.
We're going to start Rocky in Jacksonville, Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I think they ought to add the cost of the birth control to their student loan, and then they can be responsible and pay it off.
I agree.
This is a matter of personal choice.
It's an elective activity.
Or is it?
Maybe they're sex addicts.
I mean, it's the kind of stuff we're talking sex addict frequency here.
But that's a good point.
Why us?
See, that's why this is so instructive, folks.
Excuse me, for all the hilarity here, and there's plenty of it.
The microcosm contained in this entire episode tells us everything about who we're up against.
The first thing is this whole thing is a manufactured fake issue.
Nobody is denying anybody contraception.
Nobody.
No Republican was ever suggesting that contraception be banned.
It never happened.
It wasn't being discussed by the Republicans.
George Stephanopoulos, a stepanopoulos, enters it into a Republican debate in New Hampshire on January 7th, and this is the result.
From that one question that he asked Romney, we now have congressional hearings on how Republicans want to deny women contraception.
The ISA committee had a hearing about it, all right, but it was about whether or not the president has the constitutional authority to mandate the Catholic Church or its schools or insurance companies provide this stuff free.
He doesn't have that.
All of this is unconstitutional, every bit of it.
Welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair.
You know, here's the thing.
Just like the Obama administration effort to manufacture a recovery taking place, a dynamic ongoing economic recovery, virtual recovery.
Nobody believes that.
And nobody is moved by this phony staged contraception nonsense.
Everybody knows where to get this stuff.
Everybody knows where to go get a birth control pill or a condom.
Everybody knows.
And everybody knows it's cheap.
Nobody thinks anybody's going broke because of this.
This is how they overreach.
Send a woman up there to talk about going broke to a place that costs $45,000 a year to attend.
Now, if this I welcome this, the reason I'm spending a little bit of time on this, because it's much more than just this one woman wanting us to pay for her to have sex all the time.
If this is where the left wants to fight the battle of government-run health care, then this is where it should be fought.
Then that's what they're doing.
This whole episode is to advance the premise of government-run health care.
And notice the left is choosing contraception, not cancer, not heart disease, not diabetes.
They're choosing $1 condoms.
They have decided to build their case for government-run health care around a female law student attending an expensive law school who not only wants a scholarship, the Wilt Chamberlain Scholarship, to pay her tuition, she wants the rest of us to pay for her sex.
This is the issue they have gone to the mat on.
They want contraception to be the battle where government-run health care is fought over.
Not cancer, not heart disease, not diabetes, but $1 condoms.
But here's what they don't get.
Hey, Roof, talk about all the women that use birth control, the percentages, 98, 99%.
Fine.
But up till now, individuals paid for that themselves.
Because what really is going on here is the end of personal responsibility.
Ms. Fluke is asking to be exempted from personal responsibility.
She wants all the sex that she wants all the time paid for by the rest of us.
She wants no consequences for it or to it.
She wants a penalty-free, moral-free life where everybody else pays for the mistakes that she makes as a consequence of the way she lives her life.
So she's asking to be exempted from any personal responsibility for her life and for her health.
She doesn't want to have to take on the personal responsibility of all that.
Furthermore, the Democrats obviously now want to control women's birth control.
They want to decide who can have it and when.
And they have decided to circle the wagons and fight the concept of government-run health care over a dollar condom or a prescription for birth control pills.
This is what happens, folks, when you give up a freedom.
Somebody's glad to take it from you.
This woman, hardly courageous, this woman's a useful idiot.
She marches to Capitol Hill and says, here, take my freedom and make everybody else pay for what I do.
I have to remind people of this each and every day.
And who's the villain?
I am.
I'm the villain for pointing out the consequences of women giving over control of birth control to the government.
I'm the villain for pointing out the absolute insanity of all of this.
I'm the villain because I'm spoiling the party.
I'm not playing along.
I'm not winking.
Now, the latest is, Sturdly, who sent the letter to ISA?
Don't look it up.
Okay.
14 Democrats on Daryl ISA's congressional committee have sent him a letter demanding that he renounce me.
Oh, it's headed by Elijah Cummins, the former head of the Congressional Black Caucasians.
The CBC, Congressional Black Caucasians.
Elijah Cummings, the former, is it his daughter's name, Shile?
No, Mignon.
No, that's Clyburn.
Okay, so they've sent Isa a letter demanding that he denounce me or renounce me, whatever.
This is how they do it.
Now they've tried this.
Because if ISA renounces me, then they've hit their grand slam fundraising and all that.
You know what I ought to do?
I ought to grant him permission to do it.
Ought to give him an exemption.
A one-time exemption.
Go ahead, Daryl.
We'll wink.
We both know what's going on here.
Then they'll go to Boehner, and then they'll go to Paul Ryan, and then they'll go to Eric Cantor.
And then this is going to come up, the next debate, whenever it is.
This will come up.
Could be on the Huckabee value debate.
Could be the presidential debate.
It's going to come up.
Mr. Obama, President Obama, do you agree with Rush Limbaugh that 99% of the women in America are sluts?
Will be the question.
And I'm going to say, oh, my gosh, why could my parents not be alive to see this?
Okay.
The government, Democrats, want to convince us personal responsibility is something the government should do for you, and that's what this episode is all about.
That's exactly what this is all about.
Who's next?
Aaron in Valgosta, Georgia.
Great to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Matt, Sig.
My main thing is my girlfriend goes to Walmart with a prescription and gets birth control for $5 a month.
A month of birth control, $5.
$5 a month birth control at Walmart.
Yep.
So if my girlfriend whose father's retired and mother worked at a college...
How do you know her?
Are you paying for it?
No, I've been there with her.
I've walked it for her a couple of times when she didn't have the $5 on her.
Well, it's none of my business, but what does $5 get you?
A month of birth control.
A month?
A month.
One pill a day for a month.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
That makes PMS almost worth it.
Now, her insurance might cover a little bit of it, but her father's retired and her mother works at a university as an administrative clerk.
So if they can afford a health insurance plan that reduces cost of birth control to $5 a month at Walmart, then I'm pretty sure a law student can afford to be able to.
Erin, the bottom line is, you know, that enlightened women like Sandra Fluke wouldn't be caught dead in a Walmart.
Pelosi can't well Sheila Jackson.
These women wouldn't be caught dead in Walmart.
They hate Walmart.
Walmart's not union.
That's one of the reasons why your girlfriend's supply is only $5.
They wouldn't be caught dead in a Walmart, no matter.
But Planned Parenthood birth control, $5 to $50 a month, depending on the plan you want.
I wouldn't buy birth control from Planned Parenthood.
They need unwanted pregnancy there.
I wouldn't touch Planned Parenthood's birth control.
It's got to be full of holes.
And I don't do this very often.
I do this less than once a year, but I'm going to do it now.
Folks, I have something I want you to do.
I want you to find, and I want you to do it on your own.
I want you to find the email address for Daryl Issa, chairman of his congressional committee, ISSA.
I want you to send him an email asking him to renounce Elijah Cummings for being so ignorant.
Or just renounce Elijah Cummings for manufacturing a phony issue and not understanding what's going on.
Because Cummings has sent a letter with all the other Democrats on ISIS committee asking him to renounce me.
I thought about exempting ISIS.
Go ahead, Daryl, go ahead and renounce me.
But that would be the wrong way because then they would take that.
They would never report the wink and the nod and the humor contained behind it.
So ISA needs to renounce Cummings for attempting to gin up something so obviously phony.
And here's, by the way, now let's put something together.
Here you get, this babe goes before Congress and wants thousands of dollars to pay for her sex.
Well, that's what it is.
If she wants her contraception to be provided, that means she wants to have sex without consequences, with no worries, no responsibility.
We've learned that you can get a month's supply at Walmart, and the Democrats hate Walmart because there are no union workers there.
So one of the most economical places to get birth control is Walmart, and the left will not even use it.
No, we've got to go to the government to get it.
We got to go to the government to get it.
Who's next?
Kelly in Murphy, North Carolina.
Hi, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hello.
We cannot kill two birds with one stone here.
Government and birth control.
Let these women join the military.
They can finish their law degree in the military and get contraception free.
What do you mean we can't kill two birds with one stone?
Oh, you said we can kill?
Yes.
Oh, until it's governmently controlled.
Government's giving it to them.
There you go.
They're going into the military.
We're getting something back.
Okay, three birds with one stone.
And their contraception is being paid.
Three birds with one stone.
I like that.
Conception is being paid.
Well, I like people thinking on this.
The creative efforts that are being developed here to provide women from Georgetown law unlimited, no consequences sex, join the military.
All-American 1st Cavalry Amazon Battalion.
Formerly led by Sergeant Major Molly Yard.
She's the one that scared Noriega out of where he was.
Well, pineapple face.
Gene in Claremont, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Yeah, I have a question.
All of our candidates have talked about pretty much the religious factor with the contraception.
But I was just wondering, how come them and other Republicans aren't talking about the fact that all companies will have to provide the birth control?
And unlike your other caller about the $5 birth control, I know like generics can cost upward of $85 plus dollars.
So my point is, is this free birth control?
I mean, are there statistics out there how many women right now are on birth control and then times that by $100 a woman?
So who's paying for that?
And then in the meantime, I know of a senior who's on Medicare, who obviously deserves to have Medicare working all of their lives, and their singular for their asthma condition has just been up this current month.
So I guess asthma is not a threatening life condition, but yet pregnancy is some kind of disease.
I was just wondering if there is any statistics out there how much it is going to cost to provide everyone free birth control or a senior is going to be paying for that.
Yes.
Everybody else is going to be paying for it.
Where is the money?
Everybody else is going to be paying for it via their own health insurance premiums.
And whether it's a company-provided benefit or not, it's still money to you out of your pocket, money you never see, if it's in the form of an employment benefit or something.
Of course.
Now you ask, why aren't the Republicans talking about?
That's the point.
They weren't talking about any of this.
This is a totally manufacturer.
How long do you think this fluke woman's been prowling the campus in frustration, waiting for her moment to go testify?
You think this just happened and evolved naturally?
All of this has been manufactured.
None of this is real.
It's all trumped up.
And it's all part of a brilliantly conceived and flawlessly executed political plan by the Democrats.
Obama was losing the women vote.
In every poll you looked at, up until January, he was down big in women.
He was down across the board, other than with blacks.
And even with blacks, he's formed African Americans for Obama.
Why would he need that?
So this is page 1B of the Democrat Party playbook.
Scare women.
That's the title of the chapter.
And then the various things in the chapter are accused Republicans of wanting to deny them abortion, keep them barefoot pregnant in the kitchen, take away their birth control.
It's all there.
They've tried this for years, decades.
Soccer moms, NASCAR, mom, whatever.
It's all part of the playbook.
They can't go to women and say, look what we've done for you.
Look at all the great things in our record.
That would warrant you voting for Obama again for four more years.
So what they have to do is go scare everybody into what the Republicans are going to do.
If you think birth control is expensive now, wait till it's free.
When Obamacare fully kicks in, we are all being asked to pay for everyone's birth control pills.
That's exactly, Gene, what this is about.
100%.
We're all that woman goes up to congressional committee and is asking for her contraception to be paid for so she can have unlimited no-consequences sex.
A congressional committee gets its money where?
Via taxes.
In all of their various forms.
All right, folks, now get this.
Anybody ask like I'm going to ask now, why did Sandra Flake want to go to a Catholic college?
Georgetown's a Catholic college.
Why go there?
Well, from the Washington Post, Fluke came to Georgetown interested in contraceptive coverage.
She researched the Jesuit college's health plans for students before enrolling.
She found that birth control was not included.
Quote, I decided I was absolutely not willing to compromise the quality of my education in exchange for my health care.
So why the hell go to Georgetown?
Why she go someplace else?
She wanted to go there to stir it up.
She's a plant, an anti-Catholic plant from the get-go on this.
