Time Text
And greetings to you, music lovers, drill seekers, and conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
Known as the United States of America, Rush Limbaugh from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Remember, as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where here is.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program 800 28282 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Just a few more minutes on this groundbreaking heart stopping story on Obama now finally having lineage, although it can't be proven.
So I don't even know why there's a story, but to the first black slave in this country.
On his mother's side, Rachel, on his mother's.
This means, ladies and gentlemen, Obama's white half is more authentically black than his black half.
Snerdley is in there saying, Do you know what they're gonna do to you?
Yeah, I do.
That's half the fun of this.
To try to tell you that they oh, folks, they take this so seriously.
Yet none of them can tell me why it's a big deal.
You know what it has to be?
It has to be in their world, the fact that Obama is the first black president but really isn't black because he's gotten down for the struggle, he doesn't have any slave blood, apparently that's been something eating at them.
I mean the media, leftists, uh people on the left side has been bothering them.
And you want the first black president with no ties to the struggle?
That won't do.
It's almost like you haven't really had the first black president.
They've been struggling and trying to find, and now they're celebrating because they found it, but they haven't.
If you read the whole story.
Now, given...
I'm just bouncing off the story.
Obama's white half is more authentically black than his black half.
Now Obama said that his grandmother was a typical white woman.
Was his mother a typical white woman?
Do typical white women have slave blood?
And if so, does that make Obama a racist now because he insulted a white woman with traces to the original slave?
This is the way they think.
I'm just I'm just trying to relate to them.
Now researchers are missing a record connecting this guy Punch to a presumed son, who by his early twenties owned 450 acres and grew tobacco in Virginia.
So they're missing a link between Punch and the son, who is supposed to be the connection.
So the whole story is a fairy tale.
They do not have the link, and yet they've run the story claiming that they do.
In other words, the whole story that they're having account is this story's two days old now.
They're excited about this.
I mean, the associated press is overjoyed.
This whole story is based on a link from Punch to some son who might be an ancestor to the Dunhams, but they can't find a link between Punch and the Sun.
It's totally laughable.
Now I'm spending some time on this because it's a teachable moment.
It shows us how much meaningless things count for them.
It shows us that they live in a pretend fairyland, a make-believe land.
There is no link.
The AP story admits there's missing data in the link.
It doesn't matter.
It's close enough.
It counts.
It's like if you missed the putt by half inch, it's close enough.
It went in.
Go ahead and count it.
It's as I say, it's a teachable moment.
They don't live in reality.
They make it up.
They massage it, they bend it, shape it, flake it, form it to be what they want it to be, anything.
So I mean, this whole thing is laughable.
Punch's son would have been black.
How many black men owned 450 tobacco plantations, 450 acre tobacco plantations in Virginia in the 17th century?
There would be records up the wazoo if such a black man had existed.
And we don't have such records.
Now can we get these researchers to look into Obama's college transcripts?
Can we call upon Ancestry.com to see if they can find the transcripts at Occidental at Harvard and Columbia and in Harvard.
While they're at it, I mean they're genius, right?
Birth certificates.
This may be the group to do it.
The group didn't find a link.
There's a whole story written about how they did find a link.
So desperate are they to have a story that Obama's traceable isn't it laughable?
Not just slave blood.
They claim he's got a traceable link back to slave number one.
So I I thought I thought the uh president's DNA was highly classified.
Didn't that come up in the controversy over Monica Lewinsky's blue dress?
How'd these researchers get his DNA?
AP doesn't tell us that.
We we seem to know, now this AP story, we we seem to know more about the first American slave than we know about the first American black president.
Well, I'm just basing on what's being reported here.
I'll tell you if Obama were smart about now, he'd be finding some Jewish ancestors.
Remember how Clinton did that.
I mean, they live in a fake make believe world anyway.
Why not go for the whole shebang here?
After proving that you've got no, they haven't proven it.
After asserting that you have lineage all the way back to slave number one, now let's get Moses taken care of.
Let's get linkage all the way back to the Ten Commandments.
Obama at the burning bush.
Doesn't take much.
You find out everything you know and then imagine the rest and go to AP and you write the story.
It's all laughable anyway.
It illustrates how these people, they run around and they call all of us racists.
They're obsessed with skin color.
They're obsessed with the symbolism of it.
They are obsessed with things that have nothing to do with who a person really is.
They don't care to find out who Obama really is.
And if they were to find out who Obama really is, they don't care to tell us if it would not help his reelection effort.
So they're gonna focus on all this surface meaningless stuff.
Clarence Thomas has actual family members traceable to slavery.
Clarence Thomas actual family members who were slaves.
Think the media are going to write a story about it?
Think the media will do a story about Clarence Thomas being authentically black?
No.
They don't dare.
His politics are all wrong.
He can't possibly be.
All this is laughable anyway.
Obama's father was from Kenya.
Kenya has been a center of the slave trade since the Middle Ages.
Kenya continues to deal in slaves even to this day.
There's no doubt that Obama's descended from slaves and slave traders on his father's side.
There's no doubt.
His father's from Kenya.
But they don't dare go there.
They don't dare because it's still Alive and thriving.
Now I mentioned at the uh at the top of the program, ladies and gentlemen, no, I might not have.
Yeah, I did mention it.
There is beginning to be.
Well, there has been.
They're now beginning to admit that they're panicked on the left and in the media.
James Taranto at the Wall Street Journal, who does the blog Best of the Web Today, had a story yesterday entitled The Last Hundred Days, Obama Supporters Suffer a Crisis of Confidence.
And his piece is basically about two guys, E.J. Dion Jr. and a guy named Drew Weston.
And both these guys have written stories what happens if Obama loses.
Oh no.
What uh do we do?
Uh how do we spin that?
And the thrust of the story is that in both cases, and if it's happening with these two guys, I guarantee you they are all talking about it amongst themselves.
While they're not trying to set Romney up, while they're not, you know, trying to uh sabotage Romney, because it isn't working.
When they get together, they're asking themselves, what happens to liberalism if Obama loses?
That's where they're panicking.
And they're beginning to consider the pact, the possibility that Obama could lose.
And it's becoming now a reality.
This was something they could not conceive of just a few short months ago.
Don't doubt me.
This has always been a slam duck.
Remember, they live in a cocoon.
They live in their own prefabricated world and reality doesn't get in.
They think Obama's got slave blood.
It's true.
That's even their own story says the link can't be established, but it's close enough, so they'll now believe Obama.
Okay, we got that out of the way.
He's authentic.
And any number of they Obama's still loved.
Obama's still the one.
Obama's still looked upon by the masses as the Messiah.
All of that magic in 2000, it's still there.
They lie to themselves, still there.
And we want them to lie to themselves.
We want them believing their own BS.
But there are moments, as in the case of each of us in all of our lives, there are moments when a freezing cold shower descends upon you for even the briefest of moments, and reality slaps you upside the head, and you're forced to deal with it.
And their reality is, oh my God, oh my God, oh, he could lose.
Oh, gee.
And then the panic sets in.
How do we explain it?
And then what?
Oh no, then why?
Oh no, if he loses, why?
They are now beginning to speak among themselves.
Obama loses, it can't be because of liberalism.
It can't be because of a leftist ideology.
It can't be because of socialism.
It can't be because of Marxism.
So what they're going to be forced to do if Obama loses is start writing stories, explaining the defeat, and dumping it all on Obama as the reason.
Or if they don't have the guts to go there, blame it on his campaign people for a shoddy, horribly run campaign.
It was just waiting to be as a reelection.
It was in the bag.
You just wait, and these guys all screwed it up, dump on the consultants, dump on the polsters, dump on maybe even a little on Obama, but they're going to do their level best to protect liberalism and socialism.
And each EJ D. No, it it it's not that it just wasn't done right.
It's it's it's that it was sabotaged.
They will blame the messaging.
They will blame uh uh Republicans, they will blame talk radio, they'll blame a bunch of lies that the American people ended up believing.
They will not blame their ideology.
They will, in other words, they will not deal with the reality of why Obama lost if he does.
If look at if he loses, it's because the American people don't want Obama.
They don't want Obama policies.
They don't want any more attacks on private sector economics.
They don't want any of this.
If he loses, that's why but they can't write that.
E.J. Dion Jr is worried that such a loss creates a mandate for conservatism.
That's he he has a bigger fear that it is a mandate for conservatism than it is a rebuke of liberalism.
Well sounds convoluted I know but that's this is this is who they are.
Folks, the people on the left despise us as conservatives more than they despise anything in the world.
They hate us, beating us, humiliating us, destroying us, reputations, character.
That's what animates them.
They really, you can take any threat this country faces, externally, internally, there's no greater threat to them than us.
In their minds and in their hearts.
That's why it's so silly for Americans.
members of our establishment to try to get along with them or to find areas of compromise with them.
They don't like us.
There's nothing about us that they want to import compromise with nothing about what we believe that they want to help implement none of it.
There's no reason to try to get along with them the objective has to be continually defeating them.
Anyway I'll give you some details of what these guys are writing when we come back we'll get to your phone calls too right after this promised we head to the phones and we're starting in San Francisco.
So, Chris, thank you for calling, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, it's a female, Chris.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Just let me, I know that you have many people waiting for you, but I just briefly have to say this before I go into what I called for.
Sorry.
I just came from treatment.
I'm dealing with cancer, so I hate Obamacare, number one.
Number two, I'm married to an SFPD police officer.
Number three, I have
a daughter who is an intel in the army and number four I have a daughter that is half black and number five my grandfather sorry chemo's kind of killing me number five he was the mayor of Ray Linda for two terms and till the day of their death they adored you they listened to you they idolized you they loved you they they made me what I am today with your help and Mark Levin.
Your grandfather was the mayor of Rio Linda?
Yes, I once years ago sent you a clip.
That is quite an achievement.
The mayor of Rio Linda and admit it?
Whoa!
I know.
That was always the joke because I still have family out there, but they all still love you and they agree with every darn thing you say.
Everything you say.
Well, you know, I'm probably the single person most responsible for elevated property values in Rio Linda.
I don't know.
It's still a pretty crappy rush.
well that's for you to say property value is still up I mean it still was a starting point.
Did you say that your husband is a member of the San Francisco police department.
Yes.
So the reason I'm not trying to brag or no but I know I just I didn't know they still had one yeah they do um with the sanctuary city and all that correct I mean I can't why do they have cops?
I could see on the course oh wait they have cops that track down people opposed to gay men that's yes track down the way people think okay yeah yeah yeah or better yet they have people to cover Obama when he comes in to scrape up all the dirty liberals money too you got to remember that's I forgot yeah but what I was telling Sterdley who I adore he's awesome is that I find all of this to be BS.
Like like I stated I have a daughter that's African American or black whatever you want to say and when you go into her family's house or that side of the family, you see pictures from everybody going back to the pictures that are, you know, they're on 10.
That's how old the pictures are.
And they know who was a slave, who wasn't a slave, when they were free, the date, the name, the everything.
I just find this whole thing to be a farce.
It it's it's garbage.
It's bull crap is what it is.
Well, I want to say something else, but yeah.
Well, you got 15 seconds.
Go.
I love you.
I love Mark Levin.
Thank you for bringing it in.
You guys are my heroes, and God bless you always.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that, Chris.
So, I mean, she slave blood, the whole thing is crap, bull crap.
She would know.
By the way, uh, folks, last week, late last week on this program, I shared with you the multitudes in this audience, and I was frustrated.
I had an iPad that was ATT, equipped and ready to receive LTE, the new 4G LTE, and that they had turned on LTE service here, where we live.
And I had shared with people that no matter where I had taken my LTE iPad, my ATT LTE iPad, that it wouldn't display LTE, would not receive the LTE signal.
New York, Los Angeles, St. Louis, nowhere.
So, finally got hold of some higher-ups at ATT, and they were working on it, and I had a call last week from a guy, very nice guy, who had at one point in his life uh, I think been an Apple tech, and he walked me through some suggestions and I said, I've done all that.
It doesn't make any difference.
He said, Look, there's nothing ATT can do for you.
I don't know why you're worried about it.
They can't do anything for you.
This is an iPad problem.
I said, Well, they're working on it, and we think it might be due to the fact that I transferred accounts from uh iPad one to an iPad two, because that was originally grandfathered.
You could have an unlimited data plan.
I bought the unlimited data plan.
They canceled that shortly after announcing it, but they grandfather, you can hold on to it.
I transferred that successfully from iPad 1 to iPad 2.
Then I transferred it from iPad 2 to the current generation iPad, and apparently it didn't take.
Although, short version of this is that ATT sent somebody out here yesterday with a new SIM card, took the old SIM card out, put the new SIM card in, canceled the current account, the existing, went back and and and uh re-established my account according to the old information, the old data, let me do that, and it worked.
So ATT did fix it.
And I don't say this to embarrass anybody, but I just uh I wanted to complete this because I'm getting some emails.
Whatever happened to your iPad.
Are you excited about the football season?
For the first time in my life, I'm not.
I don't know why yet.
Well, I mean, I got an email a quick little flash note this morning.
Boy, but you're all excited about the NFL kicking them.
I had to stop and think and said, No, I'm not.
Now I've got to stop and figure out why I'm not.
You ought to see Snerdley's face.
I'm not not gonna rain on anybody's parade.
That's not I don't I don't rain on people's parades.
Um that's not what I do.
I make the parade.
I don't rain on people.
What do you mean rain on your parade?
Uh but the fact that I'm not fired up about it yet.
Well, talk to me in September when the real season gets here, and if I'm still not fired up, then we'll talk about it.
But I'm right now...
Eh?
Big whoop.
Speaking of, folks, get this.
General Motors, Obama Motors, signed a sponsorship deal with Manchester United yesterday, the English soccer team, owned by the Glazer family, by the way, which owns a Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
They own Manchester United.
Obama Motors signed a sponsorship deal with an English soccer club after rewording the terms negotiated with the Soccer Club by the U.S. Automakers ousted global marketing chief under the seven-year Jersey sponsorship deal starting in the 2014-2015 season for the Chevrolet brand.
General Motors will pay 60 to 70 million dollars.
Obama Motors will pay a British soccer club.
60 to 70 million dollars a year, said a person with knowledge of the contract who asked not to be identified.
GM Obama Motors will also pay Manchester United a 100 million dollar activation fee, making the deal's total value worth as much as 600 million dollars.
Now, I I know people don't want to politicize sports, but folks, isn't this outsourcing?
And by the way, this article that I'm reading from, this is from the uh uh Reuters, which is unfazed by this.
Reuters doesn't mention that Obama Motors announced back in May that it was not going to advertise in the Super Bowl anymore.
They don't want to be associated with the violence of American football.
So Obama Motors pulls their money out of the Super Bowl.
Obama Motors pulled their money out of Facebook Mobile claiming it wasn't working.
And now 600 Obama Motors, General Motors owned by the federal government, outsourcing 700 million dollars to Manchester United.
Isn't Obama out talking about outsourcing?
Isn't he out there ripping Romney to shreds for outsourcing and all the outsourcing jobs?
And his own car company won't advertise in the U.S. Super Bowl, but is going to sponsor Manchester United.
I just thought you should know.
Here's Kathy on the freeway in Illinois.
Great to have you on the program, Kathy.
Hello, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thanks so much for taking my call.
You bet, madam.
Now, I heard you mention the enormous power outage in India at the top of the show.
And um 650 million people without electricity.
That's a lot of people.
That's one-tenth of all humanity.
Wow, that is that makes it seem even larger.
Now, you also mentioned that India is often held up as a country that the U.S. should imitate.
Uh no.
Obama and Elizabeth Warren tell us that we need to imitate and be more like uh China and India uh infrastructure-wise, that they are the countries that are setting the trends.
Well, I just find that to be completely outrageous.
Uh I've actually been to India and seen the infrastructure myself, seen uh the extreme poverty that there is there, and I can't believe that any liberal would want to hold that up as an example of what we should do, especially considering the state of many people there.
Well, what do you think American liberty if I'll tell you this, Kathy?
If American liberals were thinking what they would do is declare today to be Earth Day and celebrate the Indian blackout.
I mean, what do they do?
They have a they have a year, a day every year where they turn off the lights.
Hey, they're off 650 million people, the lights and everything off in it.
This is what they want.
They ought to stop everything and declare this is what we are aiming for ourselves.
Because it is.
That to me is just ridiculous.
I mean Of course it's ridiculous.
It's absurd.
Just if you consider even the oppression that so many people there face.
Um I I can't understand why, you know, the feminists aren't standing up every time someone says we should be more like, you know, India.
I can't believe they're not jumping up and down outraged um that someone would even suggest such a thing.
Well, that makes two of us.
It does.
I I I the hypocrisy on the left here is but see they don't consider India their enemy.
It's us, Kat.
We conservatives are all they care about opposing.
We are the ones they care to stop.
Whatever they're happening to women in Saudi Arabia or India, it doesn't matter.
It's how can we take whatever's happening anywhere we want to highlight and destroy or defeat conservatives?
That's the prism through which they look at everything.
Defeating American conservatives.
Republicans, what have you, primarily conserved.
By the way, Kathy, thanks for the call.
Did you see Saudi Arabia has allowed two women to be on the Olympic team.
And one of them, I think competes in judo.
And the Saudis told the Olympic Committee, the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, you must let our female judo competitor wear a Hajib.
A head scarf.
And the IOC relented.
It is not allowed in judo because it could end up being used uh as a weapon for choking, for example.
Or the wearer could end up using it as a but they relented and they're letting the Saudi babe woman wear her Hajib because it's uh required that head be covered in uh in public.
I kid you not.
They did relent.
I don't know when the uh competition is.
I haven't checked.
I have all that stuff available on my iOS devices.
I just I haven't looked up when judo is.
But that just it kind of boggles the mind.
The the fear that exists and the uh the resulting political correctness.
Let's take a time out.
It's a good time to do it.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
By the way, we ran out of time real quickly with um that great caller from San Francisco, Chris, whose uh grandfather was the amazingly admitted mayor of uh Rio Linda for two terms.
And I I Chris, I just wanted to take a moment here to wish you all the best with your treatments.
I I heard you uh I heard you mention that it was just the time was zipping by.
And we had that break at the bottom of the hour that I couldn't miss or couldn't I couldn't delay.
But we love you here, and it it it you're great call.
I hope you're able to get back in at some point.
But uh seriously, good luck with your with your treatments.
Here is uh Joan in East Liverpool, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
You're my hero.
Well we have been.
Well, thank you very much.
You know, Nelson Freeman wrote a book back in the 70s, I think, called Free to Choose.
Yes, ma'am.
And then they made it into, or maybe it came first, made it into um uh ten-part series that they put on TV.
Exactly right.
You are exactly right.
And I'll tell you, back then, nothing was being done in the conservative realm.
And until you came along, he was the only one that I knew that talked to me about things that I knew that I knew, but everyone else was not knowing.
He did.
You know, he husband.
He he uh well, he had he had a lot of William F. Buckley was one of his close friends.
They skied together uh annually, uh very little uh interrupted until they were later on in their in their lives, but uh uh uh National Review was was was a great publication oriented toward free market economics and and conservatism in uh in general, free to choose, you're right, aired in nineteen eighty on on PBS.
But Milton Friedman was as I said is a class all by himself.
He was that smart.
Yeah.
And you know what was great about Milton Friedman was?
I mean, he was a high intellect, but he was able to speak in ways everybody understood.
I tried to tell my daughter why I liked you so much.
She couldn't understand my infatuation.
And I tried to tell her how it was before you came along, and that everything in the media, in in the movies, in the books, and anything on television, it was all liberal.
And I knew that there was something else, but no one would talk to me about it.
And I couldn't talk to anyone else until you came along.
Uh how how old was your daughter when you were talking to her about me?
Oh, well, you came along what, eighty-eight?
That's right.
And uh so I was talking to her in that area, uh, especially when she got into college after two thousand.
Okay.
Um but um so you did you have any luck in uh in in persuading her, or is she still thinking oh good, oh cool.
Yes.
She went to Purdue and they had a uh liberal uh uh reading uh course there, and she came home with these things by Michael Moore, and I just hit the ceiling.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Gosh, you know what?
If I'd had kids and that happened to me, I don't know what I would have done.
I uh because I know that at that age parents don't know anything.
The parents, as far as the kids are concerned, the biggest blockheads on earth.
If I'd had a kid come home and waving a Michael Moore DVD in front of me, my I I Well, she agreed with me.
Oh well.
She is a good kid.
She has a doctorate now.
In what?
She's a smart kid, and we went to um the voting booth together, and she did her little thing in the you know, they had Titty voting, and I voted in the regular.
Mm-hmm.
And we talked about it, and she's good kid.
Well, good.
Then you did good stuff.
I hope so.
Oh, there's no question you did.
You did well, look, I'm I'm gl uh Joan, you're you're you're very nice.
I'm glad you called.
I really appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you.
You bet.
Yeah, have a good day.
Here's uh Pat Dix Hills, New York.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
Thank you so much for taking this call.
You're welcome.
I have been watching the Olympics on uh NBC, and GE has a very wonderful commercial about neonatal equipment that was used in the United States in a hospital, I believe, in Maryland.
And uh the hospital, when they upgraded their equipment, donated the equipment to a needle neonatal unit in East London.
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, wa well, oh wait a minute.
We just had an opening ceremony that that that highlighted a national health service as as one of the most noteworthy achievements ever in the UK.
And they should have had a thank you card to the T. And they and you saw that where GE is giving used neonatal care devices to the British?
Yes.
Fascinating.
Yes, it is.
Absolutely fascinating.
So they take our hand-me downs.
Yes.
And then they throw ceremonies to themselves.
That's correct.
Was that a thank you?
You know, uh, you're welcome.
You know, General Electric still owns 49% of NBC.
Comcast owns fifty-one.
So GE.
It it's kind of like they're paying themselves.
Uh GE's the leading sponsor of the Olympics, then they paid for the rights.
They paid 49% of 1.2 billion.
So that's what that means they couldn't sell it to anybody else and they had to go.
I don't know where the time goes anymore.
Here we are already two hours uh down and only one to go.
And I guarantee you the next hour is gonna be as chock full, as enlightening, as illuminating, as energetic as the previous two hours have been, if not more so.
