Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It is true, ladies and gentlemen, it's Douglas Urbanski speaking.
The all-knowing, all-caring, all-seeing, all-sensing, all-feeling Maharashtri is not here today.
El Rushbro is resting the giant brain because we're about to enter the most dramatic election season any of us can ever remember in our lifetime.
And ladies and gentlemen, you know it is Friday.
It is Friday.
Live from New York City.
It's open live Friday.
Now, what typically happens on this show on Friday, as you know, is when Rush, when he's here, takes the biggest risk in broadcasting by opening the lines to you and letting you guide the show.
Today, he takes the second biggest risk in broadcasting by allowing me to be here.
Ladies and gentlemen, last night, as I was getting ready to do this show, I got an email from someone in Hollywood, very well-known Hollywood producer.
He is a business partner with the biggest movie star in the world.
I'm not going to tell you his name, but you can probably guess who I'm talking about.
He's a liberal, a very serious liberal, and his partner, his producing partner, is a serious lib.
And the email said something to the effect of, I hear you're filling in for Rush tomorrow.
And if you're filling in for Rush, would you mind taking a call about Romney's taxes?
Now, I want to explain something, ladies and gentlemen.
I travel in a lot of liberal circles in Hollywood, as you know.
I want to explain something to you.
To hear them talk in Hollywood, the entire future of the Republic depends upon looking at Romney's taxes.
This is the pressing question facing the future of this country.
And I am not making this up.
There is no, and I mean no, there is zero intellectual curiosity.
Now, Romney has come out and he's explained about his taxes to the degree that he has to.
There is a lingering suggestion here that somehow there's something bad, wrong, flawed with his taxes.
I guarantee you, and the lingering suggestion is maybe there's even something illegal.
I haven't heard anyone level that charge, but they want you to think all kinds of strange things.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Baggy Suits Buffett uses the exact same tax laws that Mitt Romney uses.
And as far as I know, there's no accusation that there's anything wrong here.
We have 50,000 pages of tax regulations, ladies and gentlemen.
I go out and I have dinner last night with, by coincidence, in New York City, I go out and I have dinner with somebody who is in the finance world who is in the exact same business that Mitt Romney was in when he ran Bain.
Very successful person, a Democrat.
And what do we get talking about again as if it's the biggest pressing question facing the Republic?
Romney's taxes.
Now, this Democrat, who's in the same business as Mitt Romney was in, explains to me the simple reason why Mitt Romney doesn't show his tax return.
And that is, he says to me, look, he says, this is very complicated, how we have to create our tax returns.
He said, I can't even tell you when you're in the finance world how complicated these things are.
Now, you and I know, every one of us who hear this being thrown around know that normal people can't even begin to understand these tax returns.
I have no worry about Mitt Romney's tax returns, and I certainly know that the future of the Republic does not depend upon it.
And he has no need for it.
Someone said to me this morning, well, he should give his tax returns if Obama gives his college grades and his college records.
That's ridiculous.
Obama should give his college grades and records anyhow.
It's complete.
And Romney has explained this anyway.
So the left changes the question as if there's something bad in these tax returns.
It's an irrelevancy.
Romney said to Harry Reid the other week, he said, put up or shut up.
Have you noticed since the very beginning, ladies and gentlemen, of this entire election season, let's go all the way back to when the debates started, there was a psyops in operation, a psychological operation going on.
I'm telling you, you were told way back then, as you watched the Republicans' debates going on, that you had clowns up there, that you had losers, you had dummies.
You were told this again and again and again and again by the mainstream media.
And I know, personally, conservatives and Republicans who started to feel very disheartened about our team.
The only way you could really watch it and understand what was going on was by not listening to the media at all, by simply making your own.
Once you turned off the media filters, once you started watching the debates, we had an embarrassment of riches.
We had very interesting, very interesting candidates.
And you were struck by what a good candidate Mitt Romney had become early on as a result of him having done this once before.
So the psyops was going on.
Now the psyops is no different.
We were told Romney is out of touch.
We were told Romney doesn't connect with women.
We were told people think he's too rich.
We're told all kinds of things.
You know what I hear when I hear Mitt Romney talk, ladies and gentlemen?
I'm going to shock you, and I mean this very sincerely from the heart.
I hear Mitt Romney talk, and I hear a type of music.
I have not been this excited in my lifetime about a ticket since Ronald Reagan ran.
Think of the tickets we've had since Ronald Reagan.
Bush Quayle, Bush Cheney, Dole Kemp, McCain Palin.
And yet you watch Romney and Ryan, and the energy is thrilling.
It is.
You watched that rally when the two of them were on the other day, 30-minute rally of Ryan and Romney in Wisconsin.
It was outstanding.
So I'm enthused about this election.
It is our job to take them over the finish line at this point.
I'm sort of tired of conservatives, and there are conservatives carping about Romney and carping about Ryan.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Republic is hanging on the balance.
If you get a chance, by the way, to watch that entire rally, I recommend it.
Romney, by the way, is excellent.
And when he gets in the zone, as he did, as you see him do again and again now, he is outstandingly good.
He is outstanding.
Look, it's a very, very exciting ticket.
Very exciting.
So what's been happening here, I'm going to tell you, the friend of mine that I had dinner with last night, he made a very interesting observation.
He lives in New York, and he did not remember in his lifetime seeing presidential campaign commercials in New York.
And I wondered why that was.
I'm going to assume that that is partially because New York State is a given, so they choose not to spend money.
Well, they've been airing presidential campaign commercials in New York, both sides spending money here.
And I observed that in California, where I've lived for about 25 years now, in my years in California, I have not seen a presidential campaign commercial.
I do not recall ever seeing one.
And I'm a political junkie.
I may be in Hollywood, but I am a political junkie like many of you are.
Since June, since June of this year, ladies and gentlemen, we have been seeing political presidential campaign commercials in California.
Both sides, sir.
Now, what's interesting about that, it's very interesting because every Republican I talk to says, well, we're not going to spend any money in California because California is a given.
It's going to go to the left, so we don't waste our money there.
The Democrats traditionally don't waste their money there because they assume it's a given.
Both sides are spending money in California and in New York State.
Now stop and think for a second.
Obama made, we all remember everyone talked about it, the statement, you didn't do that on your own, you didn't do that.
These words that are going to haunt this campaign until the last second.
Many have opined that this was a slip.
It was an accident.
He was off his teleprompter.
I went back and I listened to this tape very closely.
And when you listen to the tape, you can hear the audience hooting and hollering and cheering him on as he says this.
And I came to the conclusion that this was not an accidental slip.
This was, this was because they may perceive whatever information they have internally in the Obama camp, they may perceive that they have a problem with their base.
Their base is lukewarm.
Why else are they advertising in California?
Why else are they advertising in New York State?
Why is he making these flamboyant statements?
Because there is no enthusiasm.
There is no enthusiasm for the Obama ticket in their own team.
Commercials in California, commercials in New York.
Now, my Hollywood friends keep asking me almost every single day, every place I go, Doug, who's going to win the election?
Is it going to be close?
Is it going to be a landslide?
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
I watch the men on television with their boards telling us about the Electoral College in this state.
I have no idea who's going to win, but I tell you what I smell.
I tell you what I feel.
I feel that on November the 6th, we're going to have a major Chick-fil-A Day coming.
I sense it.
Because, look, you have 10,000 people turn out for the Romney-Ryan rally almost spontaneously, instantaneously.
It's quite amazing.
Of course, those numbers are real.
First off, I'm a good headcounter.
I have to be.
I'm in show business.
I've ran Broadway shows and movie theater.
You look at this screens and they say there's 10,000.
I don't doubt them at all.
The Twitter numbers, the Twitter numbers.
I don't know if the Twitter.
I'm not on Twitter, sir.
I don't have the time to be on Twitter.
So we have the commercials.
Think of this for a moment.
The commercials running in California.
The commercials running in New York.
You didn't do that on your own.
And now President Obama goes out and he says Mitt Romney is looking unhinged.
He said this in the past two days.
Now someone here is looking unhinged.
It's not Mitt Romney.
Any normal person looking at Mitt Romney is not going to see anybody who looks unhinged.
He looks as normal and stable and confident and together as they come.
Yes, he looks hinged.
He looks hinged because in this campaign, there is a ticket that is in fact running on hope and change.
And then there's the Obama ticket.
That is, Romney is, listen, they own hope and change right now.
And Obama owns his record.
It's why they don't talk about the record.
You already know this.
You already know this.
So the template has been that, and I don't care who Romney had picked.
The stories were already written.
We were going to hear that the person was controversial.
We were going to hear that the person was divisive.
We were going to hear that the person was, oh, it was already, I don't care who you picked.
There's two people in my scientific study, two people that Romney could have picked that would have made the media happy.
Should I tell you who they are?
That was Michael Bloomberg and John Huntsman.
The media would have said, he's, oh, Romney gets it now.
Now he's transformative.
He's reaching out.
I want to ask you a question, ladies and gentlemen.
It goes through my mind.
What does Romney know?
Because he's very confident and they're very good.
The energy coming off the television screen is exciting.
Talk about unhinged.
You know who's looking unhinged.
Have you seen David Axelrod on any of these morning shows?
Speaking of unhinged, have you watched Obama's comments?
By the way, the other thing that comes across in Obama's comments, no surprise, this is not a nice man.
This is not a nice man.
This is what the Olinski School teaches you.
That's how you learn to campaign.
It's all dirt.
It's all not nice.
There's no civility coming from that side, even though only about two weeks ago the president talked about civility and about running a positive campaign.
He was at a fundraiser saying this.
The media, ladies and gentlemen, is furious.
Romney is not only running against Obama, he's running against the media.
And the media is furious.
They lost the 2010 election.
They don't like it.
They are dependent upon the only thing the Obama campaign is now dependent upon is the intellectually uncurious and the uninformed and naive.
But I repeat myself.
Who would have thought, who would have thought that the day and age of triangulation would look attractive to us?
Because it's starting to.
Now, I've got to go to a break, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Douger Bansky.
I'm filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Short break.
We'll be right back.
I had a laugh the other day, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Dugar Bansky, by the way, filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
I had a laugh.
Andrea Mitchell was on talking about the Ryan pick, and she said, well, this is not a pick for women voters.
This is not a pick for suburban women.
This is hysterical.
What woman does not admire the kind of man that Paul Ryan is?
I'm told that seniors are going to have a problem with him.
He was an altar boy, ladies and gentlemen.
What seniors have a problem with that?
The left is in a state of petrification.
They're petrified that a real man, two of them in that, they will, listen, the day and age of the metrosexual sort of politician is now ended.
And that is what the men on the left have become, driven entirely, as you already know, by emotion rather than reason.
I think the Republican convention is going to be, and I say this from the heart, it is going to be a blockbuster.
And I look at some of these polls, and you have to question the validity of many of the polls, of course.
You look at the money that was flowing into Romney after this election.
You look at the size of the crowds.
You look at the Chick-fil-A moment.
That's what tells me everything.
And that really had to get them shaken.
And Andrea Mitchell, by the way, is wrong about suburban women.
These are women who are married with children.
They have a lot of admiration.
They have a lot of understanding for men who are family men.
Obama had them in 2008.
He does not have them anymore.
He doesn't even understand.
They don't even understand this kind of person.
And then you've got someone like Romney.
Look, he is a guy who a successful CEO of a corporation.
What are they skilled at doing?
They're skilled at delegating.
They're skilled at administering.
They generally don't have the sort of vanity-driven egos.
You'll notice how there's a great sense of humility and honor that Romney and Ryan are showing as they're out on the trail.
What drives someone like Romney is the bottom line, depending upon how you define it.
If the company is growing when they're running a company, then that CEO is doing a good job for the stockholders and the stockholders are pleased.
Now, Romney, his gut instincts are more CEO than politician.
This is why a lot of people on the right don't like him so much or had their problems before he was the candidate.
This is why he is a perfect candidate.
This is why he's perfect to be the chief administrator of this huge economy.
Moreover, he's someone who knows how to be decisive.
He does not have to go and ask Valerie Jarrett if something's okay to do.
He's going to make a decision.
And what's better?
What is better than to have the very best people in the party on your team making you look good?
Romney is an exceptional politician.
And by the way, Ryan is an exceptional politician.
And he's future presidential material.
I read an interesting story about Romney in this election the other day.
Apparently, when Romney was running Bain, he liked to pick out young talent, young superstars.
And he hired them fresh out of college.
He had a good nose for picking talent, and it was one of the things that contributed to the success of Bain Capital.
What do I mean by who Ryan being exceptional, sir?
Well, I see, as I've said to you, I see charisma.
I hear music.
I hear music when they speak.
I see belief in the country.
I see their belief in exceptionalism.
The other party is going to spin and turn in the wind all day.
They know that they are going up against two very hard-to-beat people, two pros, who have a good chance to become elected on November the 6th.
And the Tea Party is energized along with libertarians, along with fiscal conservatives.
I still have a hunch that many Democrats are going to sit this election out.
I know many Democrats are going to cross over.
We used to call them Reagan Democrats.
Why do we now call them Romney Democrats?
The Reagan Democrats are the new Romney Democrats.
Think about that, ladies and gentlemen.
Just think about that for a few minutes.
Zennis, yes.
I like the idea of a rich guy who's made his money the old-fashioned way.
I think Mitt Romney is already looking past the election.
I think he and his team looked at the state of the whole race.
They knew the election was probably already won.
And he's putting together his team.
And if this is the way he's putting together his team, I mean, it's pretty good.
With all due respect, I think that Romney has made a great, to Rubio and the others.
I think he's made an outstanding choice.
And all this shows that Governor Romney continues to run a smart, disciplined campaign, and he will have a strong, an outrageously strong administration once he's elected.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you're reading this election correctly, Romney Ryan gave you a very clear choice to completely reject Obama and all that he stands for.
And if you doubted that this choice was crystal clear before, it's crystal clear now.
There's no doubt they want this to resemble 1980, a very clean, clear, decisive break.
They do not want to win like a hangnail like Bush did in 2000.
They know that that is not going to solve any of this country's problems.
Now, Romney, and everyone's talked about this, he needs occasional tugging to the right, no question.
But my friends, that is what the Tea Party does.
That is the ballast on the ship.
The ballast is Paul Ryan.
The ballast is the Tea Party.
We may even learn, now that Romney is away from the Massachusetts characters, that he has a big streak of conservatism inside of him.
So you've got Romney versus Obama.
Romney also versus CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, CNBC, all of them, the New York Times, the Washington Post.
That's who Romney's battling now.
There will be no real Romney versus Obama until we get to the debates.
And let me tell you something.
I expect very good things from Romney in these debates.
Very good.
I think he's going to surprise a lot.
Everyone's waiting for Ryan to debate Biden.
It's going to be certainly very entertaining.
In fact, I want to go to the cause.
I want to speak to Michael in Toms River, New Jersey.
Michael, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
It's Dougar Bianski filling in.
Happy to have you here, sir.
How are you?
Good, good.
Good for you filling in.
Hey, as far as I'm concerned, you were talking about unhinged before, and the only person who looks truly unhinged is Joe Biden.
Okay?
Him and the media, the lefties and the media, are all becoming unhinged.
But the problem for Barack Obama is the reason he got elected was because of Joe Biden.
He can't get rid of Joe.
He loses the white-collar Pennsylvania voters, the same people you would call the Reagan Democrats.
You know, Michael, why I used the word unhinged.
That was the word the president used.
Did you see him use it a day or two ago?
Yeah, well, they were all becoming unhinged.
But he said, they thought it would go.
He said Romney is looking unhinged.
Does Romney look unhinged to you?
Romney looks confident.
Doesn't he look unhinged?
Early on, I would say Romney looked a little like a deer caught in the headlights.
But now, the man looks, you look at him on television talking, him and Ryan, they look like they got it all going on.
And I think the Democrats, that's why they're becoming unhinged.
It's falling apart on them.
I have two questions for you, Michael.
Go ahead.
Who is more qualified to be president, Ryan or Biden?
Well, there's no, there's no.
Ryan.
Okay, but there's a follow-up.
I've got a lot of media on that one.
You know, they sit there and they go, oh, is Ryan capable of it?
Are you kidding me?
Look at Joe Biden.
Wait a minute.
Now, here's the follow-up.
I want you to think carefully, Michael, what I'm going to ask you.
Who's more qualified to be president?
Biden organizations to run a business.
Michael, you're not hearing the question.
Listen to me.
Carefully, think about this.
Who's more qualified to be president?
Who's more quick?
Paul Ryan?
Oh.
Oh, no, excuse me.
Barack Obama or Joe Biden?
Well, right now it would have to be Obama because Biden's not qualified for anything.
Well, it's been a disaster.
Anyway, he's not going to get rid of Biden, as you know.
No, he can't.
He can't.
Well, according to Drudge and the stories that are going around, and if you've read Mr. Klein's book, The Amateur, there's flirtations that have been made with Hillary.
I heard that on the ⁇ I watched that interview on television the other night about that.
I think that's all.
It's all noise.
I'm going to tell you something.
It's all noise because we know if you read the book that Mr. Klein wrote, that's now, I think, number two on the New York Times bestseller list.
And if you haven't read it, I urge everyone to see it, to read the book.
Mr. Klein makes it clear from his Inside the Clinton family sources that Bill wants her to gear up to run for president in 2016 and not have anything to do with this administration.
Anyway, Michael, thank you very much for calling.
The Rush Limbaugh Show.
It's good to talk to you.
You know, folks, this is an interesting thing.
When you contrast Obama and Romney, Romney has, and you feel it coming off of him, he has a very sincere belief that America can recover in every way, economically.
He has a belief that America can regain its confidence in itself, that the United States can regain its confidence in its future.
You hear this all the time, that Romney is not a good communicator.
I do not see this.
I think when he's in the zone, he's wonderful.
And even if you're one of those people who doesn't think he's a good communicator, look, he is utterly and unmistakably sincere.
That's going to drive the libs who are concerned about tax returns as the most pressing issue of the United States.
That's going to drive them crazy when I say that Romney is sincere.
His belief in the recuperative powers of the United States, his belief in our national greatness, his belief in individual achievement, he is so passionate that sometimes he finds it hard to find words that are powerful enough to convey this.
That is what makes him persuasive to me.
Now, if you're having a hard time believing in yourself and believing in this country, you know when you watch Romney speak or Ryan speak that they believe in you.
They are authentic.
These are deeply held views.
These are lifelong beliefs.
And he's correct to believe in them.
He's correct to believe.
And this is not some university-taught abstraction.
And ladies and gentlemen, if the country needed that, they need it right now.
A president who can sell the idea of America back to you, the American people.
Now, Obama can pitch anything he wants with his slick cadence and his slick manner, and you know exactly where that's going to get you.
Very hard, if you're Obama, to run on your record and run against hope and change, which is what Romney and Ryan represent.
That's it.
That's it.
That's that he represents.
Now, sincerity only gets you so far.
Jimmy Carter was sincere.
I grant you that.
But this country faces huge problems.
We need a fighter.
You've been told by the left that Romney is insincere, that he's limited, that he struggles to deliver a message.
This is part of the psyops that I was telling you about earlier.
But you know what?
They hate the very definition of what it means to be a sincere conservative.
They hate this.
Now, Romney's entire record is that he knows how to turn bad situations around.
He knows how to rescue bad companies.
He knows how to make so-so companies even better.
You are told that he doesn't have any soaring rhetoric.
I don't know.
I find him, when he's in the zone, he's superb.
And we were told Obama is an orator, a great orator.
I never saw it.
I never saw it when we were being told he was a great orator.
I never saw it for one single solitary second.
So, leadership skills.
Look, an American businessman, an American businessman who you can believe in, and our ability to bounce back from economic troubles is a beautiful combination.
He will create an atmosphere of getting out of the way.
He will create an atmosphere of letting the markets grow.
If he does this, if he stays away from any too much meddling, we're going to be fine.
Now, Obama, I'll talk about this later on the show.
Obama is going negative.
And the more he goes negative, the more he's exposed.
They did not want Romney to go negative.
Three, four weeks ago, there were all these stories appearing.
Negative campaigning doesn't work.
Negative campaigning doesn't work.
What did we learn?
By the way, I don't believe that negative campaigning doesn't work.
They always leave out the second half of what the truism here is.
It depends who's doing the negative campaigning.
And I ask you this question.
How could you run against Barack Obama and his record without anything other than something that sounds negative?
There's no silver lining here to run against.
I'll take some more of your calls as soon as we return.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Dugar Bansky filling in for Rush.
It's Dugar Bansky, ladies and gentlemen, filling in for Rush.
We're talking, of course, about Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney and all the rest of it.
You wait for the debates.
I bet you they're going to throw questions about Ryan having nothing to do with the economy.
They're going to throw questions at Ryan that have to do with foreign policy because the media who are running these debates seem to think that Biden is, that Biden's an expert in foreign policy.
You wait.
No, Romney, look, he proved the consensus entirely wrong.
He judged Ryan the best one for the ticket.
He did not play anything overly safe.
The Romney who plays things overly safe is a figment, a character of the leftist media.
It's a figment of their imagination.
They needed to create that character to feed it to us.
But an exemplary businessman understands risk.
And, of course, I don't have to tell you there's excellent reasons to not believe the media, whose sole mission is to develop a character in Romney and Ryan that they are not.
Now, Mike in Glenridge, New Jersey wants to address this.
So, Mike, welcome to the Russell Limbaugh Show.
It's Dugarbansky filling in.
How are you today, sir?
I'm good.
I'm good.
Look, I'm one of those conservatives that doesn't believe in Romney.
And the pick of Paul Ryan, and I love Paul Ryan, to me is no different than McCain picking Sarah Palin.
You know, Reagan never, he didn't have to pick a conservative to prove he was a conservative.
And, you know, at the same time he picks Ryan, I hear that Sarah Palin will not be speaking at the convention, nor will Michelle Bachman.
Instead, we have people like John McCain, Chris Christie.
You know, I'm talking Rhino's on parade.
And, you know, look, it doesn't really matter to me what Romney says.
I know Romney.
I know what he's done.
I know his record.
If he wins, it's what will he do?
That's all that matters.
And he's going to have to keep his promise to repeal Obamacare.
And to be honest...
You know, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, I've got to ask you a couple of questions.
Who are you going to vote for?
Well, are you going to vote for Obama?
I wish I had another choice.
Yes, yes, I understand that.
I understand that.
But here we sit.
It's about 80 days until the election.
You're going to vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
Yes, I want to tell you something that may help you a little bit.
I don't know that I can help a lot.
And, of course, we can't relive the Reagan days.
And no candidate, sir, is perfect.
I have a little theory about one of the reasons Ryan was picked.
And I've not heard this mentioned anyplace.
I'll tell it to you.
I'll share it with you just between us.
Then I'll tell you my theory why he was picked.
Go ahead.
Well, I'll decide if you share your theory.
Let me just tell you mine.
Let me just tell you mine for a second, Mike.
The advisors, the political advisors to Mitt Romney, I call them the red necktie advisors, because I have a lot of disdain for the political advising class, as you know.
The advisors believe that the entire question of Romney care remains a problem for Mitt Romney.
Yes, I agree.
And he has selected the man, the man, who is the expert about how to dismantle Obamacare.
Because no one, it's not good enough when he has said 100,000 million times he's going to get rid of Obamacare.
He's now got the guy next to him who's an expert in how to do it.
So I'm going to take him at his word.
Well, my theory is that If Romney loses election, guess who's going to be blamed?
Guess who's going to be a scapegoat?
And I'm going to tell you, Mike, I want to just make two other points to you.
And Romney is a different guy than McCain.
Romney is a very different guy.
Romney knows how to run things.
I don't know if you remember this.
Tell me if I'm ringing a bell.
The McCain campaign at some point put a muzzle on Sarah Palin.
she was getting too much attention they thought she was just they they thought she was getting too much of the spotlight That's not going to happen with Paul Ryan.
This is a team, and they're going to continue on as a team.
Anyway, I am very inclined, you know, because I want to help you, and I know you're going to vote the right way.
I'm very inclined at this point.
I'm not convinced that I think in a way Romney could actually end up being worse because it's worse than Obama?
Let me explain.
If he doesn't follow through, if he ends up being another rhino after four years, they will tear him to pieces and force him.
The liberal media attacks, force him to compromise.
And I'm telling you, four years, the liberal power stronger than that.
Mike, Mike, Mike, why so negative, sir?
We are 80 days from an election.
It is time to take our team over the finish line and to see the excitement, the enthusiasm that they are generating.
And, Mike, I'm going to tell you, the ballast, the ballast.
The only thing I agree with.
Uh-oh, what was that?
The Tea Party.
Yes, that's it.
Yes, Mike.
That was the last thing I was going to go to with you.
Exactly right.
They're the ballast.
The election of Mitt Romney means a lot if you elect the proper members to the Senate and to the Congress because they become the ballast.
And Romney has inclinations their direction.
Because he never goes the other direction, sir.
I got a scoot.
It's great to talk to you, Mike.
Thank you so much for calling the Russian Limbush.
It's Duggar Bansky.
Filling in for Rush.
We'll be right back.
It is all a psyops maneuver, my dear friends.
Pay no attention to the old media.
The more they attack Ryan and Romney, the more it proves how they consider Ryan and Romney dangerous to the re-election of their guy.
There are sharp differences between the two campaigns.
One stands for the welfare state laziness.
The other stands for self-determination, the American way.
You're going to choose.
And Ryan, Ryan, this is a guy who clearly gets under Obama's skin.
He's dared to speak up to Obama.
I love that.
Remember the healthcare summit meeting and disagreed with Obama?
Loved it.
Now, if he gets under Obama's skin during the campaign, this is going to be fun to watch.
I have not been so excited over a GOP ticket in 30 years, ladies and gentlemen.
Someone who's not afraid to challenge Obama, an intellectual who knows of what he speaks, a man unconcerned that his knowledge and lifestyle will most certainly earn him the label of racist because Paul Ryan is clearly not a racist.
Name-calling is what the liberals have in their bag of tricks.
That's all they can do in an effort to explain away the incompetency of the current presidential administration.
That is all they've got.
There is a sharp difference.
It's going to be amusing.
President calls Romney unhinged.
It's going to be amusing to watch the Democrats fruitlessly trying to spin Romney and Ryan as wide-eyed radicals.
It is pathetic because they're nothing of the sort.
You've got to be really far out on the left to see these two guys that way.
Because listen, when you talk to people on the right, as you heard Mike the caller a little while ago, they don't go far enough to the right.
They don't go far enough to the right.
So when you've got a raging fire, as we have in this country right now, you've got to keep it stoked.
We've got a campaign that is a raging fire of getting very exciting.
And they're on the attack.
They're no longer responding to Obama.
They are creating the narrative, and that's that's a fire that's going to be kept hot.
That's going to, the electorate is going to go wild.
You just watch the Democrats are offering you food stamps, they're offering you Obamacare, they're offering you death panels, they're offering you disability payments, they're offering you welfare to people who don't want to work, solar energy that doesn't work, federal student loans that don't need to be repaid, amnesty for illegals, welfare without end every which way you turn.
Ladies and gentlemen, you wait till November 6th.
Wait till November 6th.
There is a Chick-fil-A moment coming.
