Time Text
And now Snergley wants to know if Bob Lutz was uh at the cigar dinner last night.
Bob Lutz was not there.
Bob Lutz was not there.
He only showed up one year.
And I don't remember what year it was, but it was it was a year that we did this at the four seasons, and it was a year before Mayor Doomberg started telling everybody they couldn't enjoy life.
Oh, by the way, there were some communists in the crowd last night.
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
A bunch of us stand up and make remarks for five or ten minutes.
And I happen to uh every time I get up and speak of these things, I have to mention the fact of how it used to be.
And all of these silly restrictions on having fun.
And there were some snickers from the crowd.
And that's how I knew there were communists in there.
And I just I pointed out all this is aimed at people not having a good time.
When some people on the left see people enjoying themselves, that's not fair.
That's not right.
And we're gonna see to it that you don't have a good time, so we're gonna let you smoke all those cigars at your Samaritan cigar, even though we're not gonna be there.
There's not gonna be a soul there that would be offended.
There's not gonna be a soul there that would complain.
There's not gonna be a soul at the cigar dender would have a problem with cigars.
But there were some snickers night.
I always knew I hit home runs when I get the snickers.
Uh miniature booze and so forth.
But I what I did last, I reminisced.
Some of the greatest most fun nights that I've had have been at these cigar dinners.
And remember one year, Mayor Doomberg would not give us the permit.
The permit was withdrawn two months.
I say us.
Marvin Shankin does this, Cigar Fishinotto magazine does this.
But Marvin and I are buds, so it's us.
And two months or three months before it, they just pulled the permit.
And so Marvin decided, well, what do we do?
Because it's an annual thing.
It's it's a night to remember.
And it's a it's a it's a it's a fundraiser for prostate cancer.
Milken shows up and Mike Milken matches everything that's donated.
It's a big auction.
All kinds of stuff's auctioned off every year.
Millions of dollars is raised at this thing.
So Francis Ford Coppola stepped up and offered his winery in Napa as a substitute.
So we made a weekend out of it.
And we had the actual dinner in a room in Francis Ford Coppola's winery where he had things that had been used in the Godfather movies.
One of those old cars, the desk that Marlon Brando used in the first movie, The Godfather Sitting Behind when the uh funeral director shows up wanting justice for his daughter.
It was cool.
Wayne Gretzky and his wife are there.
I never forget that because she one of the items being auctioned off is a Cadillac.
One of those two-seater sports car things.
And she really wanted it, and uh, but I I didn't know it was her, and I was I was bidding because I had an I wanted to give it to somebody, so I kept bidding and got thing, and she ended up being disappointed.
I almost felt like giving it to her when it was over.
But that year, Tommy Lasorda, the former manager Dodgers, what here what happens, folks?
This is cool too.
A tradition.
There are five bottles of wine in paper bags, brown pair to look like Mogan David.
You have no idea what's in there.
And you bid.
And the five bottles, the the rule is that whoever bids the highest on each bottle has to open it and serve it to the guests at his table.
So it gets consumed that night.
And it's always top drawer from California and from France.
And one year, Tommy LaSorda, former manager of the Dodgers, was sitting in a table that did not get one of these bottles.
So he was running around stealing wine from everybody's tables.
Hey Rush, you got any wine here, Tommy.
It's just a blast.
We had softball games, uh, played golf this whole weekend, and I ruined it for Marvin last night.
Because we all stayed at the uh there's a place out there in Napa called Aubert's de Soleil or something like that.
And I told him, you know, Pelosi's family owns this.
And it was devastated to Marvin when he uh when he found that out.
I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure that the Pelosi family owns Aubert's.
Anyway, I just I thought what, you mean do the cigar dinner in in New Jersey?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Snurtly, you know, we're not no, no, no.
Nothing against New Jersey.
We're not if we're gonna leave Manhattan to do the cigar dinner, we're not, we're not gonna go.
Nothing against it, Governor Christie.
Um, but it was one year that it was just um Francis Ford Copeless.
You know, I listen to you every day when I'm in Costa Rica.
I've found a way to get you on short wave.
I says one year after I'd lost a lot of ways, he says, you know, you've got Hollywood good looks.
I'm serious, Hollywood good looks.
And I said, well, let's do something about it.
I never heard from him.
But it's folks, it's just been a blast, and and and now it's and it still is.
I mean, we're troopers.
We we we make the most of it.
But this these silly uh I can understand if if they wanted to limit cigar smoking when the restaurants opened to the public.
But it wasn't.
Uh did you see this?
According to an analysis by the Tax Foundation, only 84 million Americans paid any federal income tax at all in 2011 or 2010.
Only 84 million.
We have a country, now this is everybody, over 310 million people.
I don't know how many of those are crumb crunchers versus how many are adults, but I can I can guarantee you that there are more than 84 million adults.
84 million Americans paid any federal income tax at all in 2010.
There are over 313 million Americans.
That doesn't count the illegal aliens.
Uh uh, I'm sorry, undocumented Democrat voters.
The Tax Foundation, nonpartisan bunch, also found that people making over $50,000 a year paid 93.3% of all the income tax collected in 2010.
That is, I guess what Obama means by fairness.
That's what he calls social justice.
People who make less than $50,000 a year pay six percent of the total tax burden.
And even this statistic, uh, people making over 50,000 paid 93.3 years a little bit misleading, because when you get to the top 1%, the top five and top 10, you'd be stunned.
I never can remember off the top of my head that top 1% pay something like 20% or 25.
The top 10% are paying close to 50.
But it's also true that if you make over $60,000 a year in this country, you're in the top 10% of wage earners.
And that's why it's always been you just start taxing the rich, you're not gonna raise enough money to significantly reduce the deficit, as evidenced by the Buffett rule.
Look at the minimum 30% tax on all millionaires would raise $5 billion.
A rounding error in Obama's budget.
By the news is out, it's official.
Obama's deficit spending for his first term, five trillion dollars.
The sum total of all this is why there's a tea party.
This is why the 2010 midterms happened.
Five trillion dollars in deficit spending added to the national debt.
Now I remember a long time when I was 15, 20 years old, I remember the adults that I knew and hung around, my parents' friends were always worried about the national debt.
This is in the 1960s, the early 70s, or constantly remember hearing them worried about the national debt.
Of course, I wasn't.
I wasn't old enough to even really understand what it was.
But as I got older and I kept hearing people talk about it, I said, well, for all my whole life I've been hearing about the national debt and how it's going to crush the country.
It hasn't happened, so it must not be that big a deal.
Well, guess what I become?
I have become one of those people.
It's now very much concerned about the national debt because it's never ever been anywhere near as large as it is expressed any way you want.
As a percentage, total dollars or what have you.
We are nearing collapse.
The old adage was the national debt never really mattered because we owed it to ourselves, therefore we never really had to pay it back.
But we don't owe it just to ourselves now.
We owe it to the Chicoms, we owe it to the Japanese.
We owe it to a lot of people who expect to be paid back, who expect their interest payments to be made.
So it's it's not just something that we owe ourselves and can forget about or forgive or what have you.
It's far greater problem because the tax rates required to make a dent in this, coupled with the spending cuts that nobody so far has had the guts to propose or implement are unthinkable to a lot of people.
That's why the total income tax.
Here's a stat I heard the other day.
For those of you who have grandkids, their total life tax payments have already been spent at current income tax rates.
If they went out and got jobs out of college, worked until they're 65, somebody ran the numbers, and your grandkids, two generations from now.
Their lifetime taxes have already been spent.
Now, what are their tax rates going to be if something isn't done about?
This is why there is a Tea Party.
Five trillion dollars.
This president has wrung up more debt than all previous presidents combined.
And the horizon we can now see it's it's Greece, it's Spain, it is Europe.
And then we learn that only 84 million Americans out of 313 million are paying any income tax.
They're paying other taxes, but not income tax.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back and continue much more on the EIB network right after this.
Look at this headline.
This is from Channel 7 Eyeball News in New York, WABC.
People line up for prepaid debit cards that don't work.
What is drawing huge crowds in the Bronx?
People lining up around the block to get into a storefront that houses a tax preparation office.
What's really going on?
What's the involvement of a California bank that issues prepaid debit cards?
Eyeball News, still trying to get straight answers.
This is Sarah Wallace doing the story.
On a recent day, eyeball news watched as the head of security barked crowd control orders and collected copies of social security cards and state IDs to take up the backstairs through the 99 cent store.
So what's everybody here for?
Some didn't want to show their faces.
The reporter Sarah Wallace said, What did they say about Obama?
They'd get a thousand dollars and then you would sign.
What this is, it's it's a really sketchy article here, but it sounds a lot like these other Obama stash stories that we've heard, like out of Detroit.
Apparently what happened was a Bronx tax preparing service was promising people prepaid debit cards with money on them From the government.
All they had to do was hand over their social security number, uh, their EBT card info and their state IDs, which everyone was willing to do.
Even some that already filed their taxes were willing to do that.
They thought it was Obama money.
People in line were were spoken to, and they thought that Obama was giving money away via this tax preparation service.
Now, in in many areas, uh tax preparation centers mostly deal with getting money to Democrat constituents via the earned income tax credit.
They're also notorious for uh supplying identification for illegal aliens and ID theft in general.
So they're probably running this scam uh just to collect as much personal ID data as possible.
But it also sounds like a typical Democrat get out the vote drive.
Here, show up for a prepaid debit card.
Give us your social security number.
And some of the people involved, after the story had spread, hey, you know what?
You're giving away prepaid debit cards.
Yeah, what do I gotta do?
Well, I just got to give me social security numbers.
I thought it was Obama money.
More from Obama Stash.
Here's a another another take on the story from Glenn Beck's website, The Blaze Obama money rumor has people lining up in New York City again.
Responding to a local rumor, people standing in line for hours, turning over valuable personal information, and expecting to receive a government handout in New York City.
This time people in New York are lining up because they heard that people were getting a debit card loaded with as much as $1,000 of stimulus money.
However, based on the latest information, there's no money being given away, and yet people continue to line up and turn over their personal information in hopes that they are collecting stimulus money from Obama.
Here's Russ, Bloomington, Indiana.
We go back to the phones.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Hi, Megadetto's from the left coast of Indiana.
Uh thank you very much, sir.
Very, very clever.
Um I I want to get straight to the point.
I'm wondering if our president isn't learning.
Because his handling of the Secret Service uh uh prostitution scandal, he's standing back.
He's not gonna jump to judgment on this, but he certainly didn't wait with the Zimmerman case.
Well, uh uh.
Uh don't make me say this.
Um why do you think he's learning anything?
What is the relationship between the debauchery of the Secret Service and the Zimmerman case?
Well, his boy Mouthpiece last night was saying on the news how you know his is his uh you know Mr. President Obama was not going to jump to any rash conclusions and he was going to give time for for you know the investigation and all the facts to come forward.
But uh, you know, perhaps he didn't do that down in Florida.
There's no advantage either way in the Secret Service story.
There's no You don't believe that he could jump in and and and you know defend those women and in trying circumstances in South America.
No, no, look, look, look.
Excuse me.
Whatever else the Secret Service is, they guard his life.
He's not gonna stand in and take up for the prostitutes.
And he's not gonna ask if it was if they're if their contraceptives were provided.
You like that, huh?
Now he's these whatever as much as a lot uh the the Clintons were not particularly fond of the Secret Service and vice versa, uh, particularly Hillary, from everything we've heard from FBI agents that were like Gary uh Gary uh Gary Aldrich, but they still protect the president's life.
He he's not gonna jump in here and I mean Colombian hookers are a small, small voting block.
The Secret Service protects his life.
You like that one too, huh?
Yes.
Well, uh, there is no commonality between this story and the uh the Sanford, Florida George Zimmerman case.
There's really not.
This this uh, you know, a lesser experienced talk show host could have walked right into this trap, but not I. Well, if I if I mention the trap, I walk into it.
So sorry.
I don't mention the trap.
But Russ, I appreciate the call.
Here's uh Dave in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey Rush, how are you doing?
Uh what I'm talking about is these polls that have come out with Romney either trailing or close, and some of them may have him in the lead.
Actually, I'm I'm actually amazed that he's even that close in his polls.
I I think there's probably millions of Americans like myself who really are not Romney supporters, but I'm absolutely going to vote for the guy.
And I think when that happens, I don't even think this thing's gonna be close.
Um I think you've hit on something here.
I think as hard as it was to understand what you were saying because of the cheap phone that you're using.
I think you are exactly right.
I I I I there's not well, we have to admit this, there's not a whole lot of passionate excitement behind Romney, but the alternative, people don't want any more of this.
They just don't the frustrating thing with Romney, and the reason there's this this this lack of personal passionless connection is what he did the other day, yesterday.
Uh uh uh I'll play the sound bites he was on with Larry Cudlow Cuddle, so what why why single out the rich?
Why not just have deductions for everybody?
A lot of people look at him as as pandering and out of a fear that he has to deal with this notion that he's some rich guy and out of touch.
But I think you make a great point.
No, no, no.
Everything's okay.
I've got the annual spring fling weekend this weekend.
and Bunch of people show up, uh, camp out at my crib for the weekend, play golf, have cigars wherever and whenever we want.
Um it's always uh it's always a great time.
That's why I'm out Thursday and Friday.
It's an annual thing.
You people know this.
Uh by the way, uh a friend of mine sent me a note today.
This particular friend is a is a huge media uh official, just is absorbed in the media.
And said, Boy, you must be doing something really right this year.
You did not make Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential.
And I said, that's only because I don't go to the party.
I've been on that list twice, and I've never gone, and I've even been invited in off years when I have him on a list, and I never go.
And he wrote back, you know, that's exactly right.
They put people on that list that they would like to have at a party, and you never show up.
And I said, that's right.
My days of being a circus act for a bunch of liberals are over.
Don't do it anymore.
I'm thinking about this five trillion dollars that Obama has wrung up here.
Unless, well, it that'll be the total indebtedness, the total of deficits for Obama's first term.
And I gotta tell you, as dumb as they are about economics, I would bet your average stay-at-home mom wouldn't even be dumb enough to run up that much debt in three and a half years.
Hillary Rose, they don't know what they're talking about.
Stay-at-home moms never worked a day on their life.
Five trillion dollars.
It's incomprehensible.
A hundred billion is what is it, ten thousand million?
I mean, it's it's it's incomprehensible.
Simply, it's just as incomprehensible as the amount of power required to get a Boeing 747 off the ground and fly any distance.
Let's go to the audio sound bites, because uh the our last Caller, even though he was on a cheap phone, he's he's exactly right uh about Romney.
The thing is, folks, the frustration that people have with uh with Romney, and I know that that many of you in the audience are passionate Romney supporters, I know you're out there, a lot of you are.
The frustration is that Republican nominee should be walking away with this.
There is no way an incumbent president with this record should have a chance.
There is no way an incumbent president with this record should even be running for re-election.
Most of them would quit in shame, like LBJ did.
In most cases, circumstances like this, the Democrat Party would be doing everything it could to get Obama not to run, promise him leader of the world at the UN or something, it's somebody else in there.
Even with the media in their back pocket.
That's the frustration.
This should not be close.
And a lot of people think that if we had a pedal to the metal, unafraid, cheerful conservative who every day could explain conservatism, because it is in his heart and believes it, then it wouldn't even be a contest.
There's never been this opportunity to draw such a contrast between us and the Democrats.
It's never ever been this stark.
We are up against, for all intents and purposes, an admitted socialist.
No, I said for all intents and purposes.
He denies it, but there's no there's no doubt in anybody's mind.
Let's go to some Romney sound bites.
Here is uh Romney being interviewed on Breitbart TV.
And this, by the way, when I saw that he did this, I got a plane last night to fly home, and I saw this, and I said, whoa.
Romney does surprise me positively, and he's been doing that more and more lately.
And this is one of those pleasant surprises.
He was interviewed by Larry O'Connor, the uh editor-in-chief at Breitbart TV, who said we at Breitbart and other conservative news sites have been tracking this, and we see all these independent organizations like Media Matters for America and think progress.
They are coordinating with Obama, getting these talking points out, lying about conservatives, lying about they just literally making stuff up.
They are the meanest, unhappiest people in the world out there.
Now you really, Governor Romney, you are going to battle with the media as well as the Democrats.
You are going to battle with these nonprofit groups who are all working together.
Are you really ready for this?
This was the question.
Are you really ready for what's coming your way?
Not just from Obama, but from the media and from all of their support groups like Think Progress, MoveOn.org, Media Matters for America, and all of that.
It would be an effort by the quote, vast left-wing conspiracy to work together to put out their message and to attack me.
They're going to do everything they can to divert from the issue people care most about, which is a growing economy that creates more jobs and rising incomes.
That's what people care about.
The Democrats know that given the president's record over the last three and a half years, they cannot run on that record, and therefore they will try and make this race about anything but the president's record and the economy.
Many in the media are inclined to do the president's bidding, and I know that's a battle.
It's an uphill battle we fight with the media generally.
Now let me say one thing.
A lot of you uh might be a little disappointed that he didn't go after the media harder.
There is, I don't know if it's unwritten, but there is a there's a rule.
It is considered beneath a presidential candidate to attack the media.
It uh whether you like the rule or not, it is considered by many to be a sign of weakness, even though the media is what it is, totally stacked for Obama.
I mean, the media is liberals.
It's it is a bunch of leftists.
It's not that they've they're objective people and have chosen sides.
They are Obama.
They are Axelrod.
They're all the same people.
But you know that going in, so to complain about it is not very manly.
And this a lot Romney's got a it it's it's it's it's good for him to acknowledge this.
We want to hear that he understands it, but to go after him, it would be it's the same thing, folks, as a teacher after five years complaining how little they're paid.
Sorry, you knew that going in.
Maybe unfair, maybe, but you knew that going in.
It's like there are over, I think, twelve hundred former players in the National Football League who are joining up together in a in a series of class action suits against the NFL because they claim that they suffered physical damage, brain damage while they played the game.
The suit probably doesn't stand a prayer because the league never made anybody play the game, and everybody, the players today, who they're trying to help with with rules changes, who are complaining about the rules changes.
Like just the other day, Vince Wilfork, who's a great defensive tackle for New England Patriots.
These quarterbacks are just a bunch of sissies.
They make 30 million dollars a bunch of sissies.
Hell, we can't hit the quarterback anymore.
This is in the midst of the league trying to protect the quarterback, trying to protect everybody, particularly with focus on concussions.
So these players know it going in.
Nobody held anything back.
There wasn't research that the league knew about that didn't give anybody, but the players know it.
So it's the same thing here.
A Republican presidential candidate knows going in that the media is what it is.
So you've got to be very careful.
If you go after him, you cannot do it in such a way that people think you're complaining, which Romney didn't do, don't misunderstand.
Didn't he didn't do that?
But a lot of supporters want to hear Romney attack the people who are the epitome of unfair, mean spirited, caustic, and all that.
And it's a very fine line.
A Republican candidate has to uh has to walk.
It's like complaining about high humidity in August.
Well, what did you think?
It was going to be when you agreed to go out and pick cotton in August.
What did you well, I don't know if you picked cotton in August or well, whatever.
You're gonna play football in August.
What did you think the weather was going to be?
Got to be very careful about things that you uh criticize because if it comes off as a complaint when you knew going in that this was going to be the rule, then it it doesn't serve you well.
Okay, we'll get two more sound bites in of Romney with his interview with Larry Cudlow, who um questioned Romney on his plan to limit tax deductions and not permit them for the rich.
Half my brain tied behind my back, Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
That would be yours.
Okay, we'll get to your phone calls here in a jiffy, but first last night on CNBC, Larry Cudlow's show called a Cudlow Report.
He had uh Mitt Romney said you told a Florida group about ill this was the fundraiser he had here this past Sunday evening.
You told a Florida group of donors about eliminating income tax deductions for upper-end earners, eliminating the deductions for upper end earners to pay for your 20% tax cut.
Now you said second home mortgages, some state and local taxes.
What can you tell us about that?
Sounds pretty sensible.
Are you staying with it?
Virtually all of the deductions and exemptions, particularly for high-income taxpayers are gonna be uh on the table because we're gonna have to eliminate the uh well uh limit rather, not eliminate, but limit for high-income individuals, some of the deductions and exemptions in order to compensate for the reduction in rates.
Bring the rates down, the tax rates down, the top marginal rates down, so businesses have an incentive to hire again and to grow, and to pay for that in part by limiting the deductions and exemptions, particularly in high-income Folks, because it is my intent not to reduce the burden paid by the top earners, but instead to maintain it at its current level, but to bring the rates down.
Now remember, Cudlow has been in well, I don't want the sound disparaging.
Cudlow's been a supporter of Romney's for a long time.
I was going to say in the tank, but that doesn't convey what I meant.
Cudlow has been really eager.
He'd been really one of one of Romney's biggest supporters, but he is hoping in this night next bite, he's hoping he didn't hear what he just heard.
But Romney makes it clear again that he's going to accept the liberal premise that there's only a certain amount of tax revenue, and that if you reduce rates, you have to make up the revenue someplace.
See, that's the problem with this.
You don't have to pay for tax cuts.
The idea here is to shrink government.
We don't want to run around and say, well, we we're going to have to pay for this tax cut, so we'll make sure that the rich don't get their deduction.
What's the point?
They're the ones that hire.
They are the ones who are going to produce these jobs that Romney is talking about.
Not to mention the fact that we're not talking about enough money here to make any difference.
It's no different than the Buffett rule, five billion dollars by making sure every millionaire pays at least 30 percent or billionaire, what a millionaire.
Five billion dollars.
It's it's it's it's by the same token.
So you don't let these rich people have their deductions.
Uh a, you're not going to get that activity.
If they can't deduct it, they're not going to do it, number one.
Number two, even if you you you go through with this, you're not raising that much money with this.
And that's what Cudlow is he understands that.
So he said, so you're gonna stick with it.
You're not pulling back from this.
There was a story in the New York Times, some of your aides were saying, oh, no, no, no, don't don't don't take that seriously.
It sounds like you're staying with it.
Some of these deductions are gonna have to go.
We are going to limit deductions and exemptions, particularly for high income individuals, as to which specifics and how much the limits will be and what income levels they'll be limited, that's something which uh time will tell.
We'll work out that with Congress.
But we're gonna have to broaden the tax base and limit some deductions at exemptions if we're gonna uh compensate for the reduction in rates.
I'm not looking to reduce the burden paid by the high income earners.
I know the Democrats always want to say Republicans are in favor of tax cuts for the rich.
That is simply not true.
I'm in favor of more jobs for everyone.
But I want the taxes to be down.
I want the burden to be reduced on middle income taxpayers.
This sadly, this is what I meant yesterday when I said that I think Governor Romney has a little embarrassment about his wealth.
And he's also very sensitive to the charge that he's one of these insensitive rich guys.
So in his mind, what better way to compensate for that than to soak the rich?
If not soak the rich, deny the rich what you're giving everybody else.
That way he thinks they can't say that he is an out-of-touch rich guy.
They're gonna say that if he lost everything tomorrow.
They're going to say that.
So it's it's uh accepting a Democrat premise here.
You can broaden the base, but this the problem with with these deductions is if you take them away, uh if you don't give the the rates, everybody fears the rates are gonna go back up at some point, then the deductions are gone.
And where are we?
We learned that from the 86 code uh change.
Tim in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Thank you, Rush.
I've been listening to you since 1987 when I visited my parents over in Pismo Beach, and I heard you on a Sacramento station.
And all these years I've been hearing you uh, you know, in intro to your program saying I'm a highly trained uh broadcast special.
Well, my question is, who in the world trained the master?
Where did you get your training, and how come we don't know who that person is?
Because I mean, who trains the master?
You are very shrewd.
That's that's one of those things.
You're not supposed to ask.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Uh Actually, it's it's it's a it's a good point.
Um there was uh well I have to be real careful here.
Do you realize you know the old saying success has many fathers and failure is an orphan.
Do you know how many people there are, well, you don't know, uh, in the realm of radio consultants who are and have for a long time claimed that they were instrumental in uh in my success.
There was uh when I had play No, no, no.
No, I don't think the ones who told me I wasn't gonna make it are claiming credit for it.
