Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Ladies and gentlemen, we did not need.
And I'm gonna say we, not I, because I know you're up speaking.
We didn't need an audio tape from 1998 to tell us that Barack Obama's a socialist.
Did that come as news to you when you heard the did anybody remember Joe the plumber?
We want to spread the world.
He's a liberal!
What the hell?
We don't need a tape from Oh, folks, by the way, you know what?
I just I just there's media bias.
Did you know that?
Yeah, there's media bias.
I got 10,000 emails today alone on the fact that there's media bias out there.
Whoa.
It's so much I can hardly keep up with it.
Hi, folks, how are you?
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
So the big deal is we've got Romney and the tape yesterday, and it turns out there's a there's a gap in it.
There's a Rosemary Woods gap in the Romney tape.
It's about two minutes.
Now David Korn works at Mother Jones, got the tape ostensibly from Jimmy Carter's grandson, who's sitting in the basement somewhere prowling around looking for stuff to hurt Romney with.
He comes up with this thing.
Now, you know, it's illegal to tape somebody in Florida without their permission.
That isn't gonna matter.
Remember the grandparents who just happened to have a radio in their car that received cell phone signals and overheard a call between Mr. Newt and John Boehner.
Just happen to drive it around in their Cadillac on the way to do Christmas shopping for the grandkids, and lo and boy, well, you've got a cell phone radio in your car, too.
You can monitor cell phone calls like this.
The Martins was their name.
And they said it off to the New York Times that sort of so historical, and there was there was uh there were legal consequences.
Anyway, that's not gonna matter.
But there's a two-minute gap.
William Jacobson at legal insurrection found it.
This guy does fabulous work.
Uh blogs in his in his spare time just does fabulous work.
Nobody knows what what what's on the gap.
Romney did say, gee, I hope they release the whole thing.
And now uh I I well you'll hear in the sound bites coming up, and they're gonna get to these sooner than later.
But man, I to I some of these Republicans inside the beltway just ripping Romney to shreds over this comment.
You know, even if they think it, what's the w how is it useful to say it?
And they're wrong anyway.
But how is it useful to say it?
Anyway, you'll you'll hear all this in the audio sound, but of course I come in for profound criticism for s for realizing that what Romney said yesterday was actually an opportunity.
It's amazing.
Alternate universe.
It uh it truly is.
So anyway, there's a gap in the Romney tape.
We're not gonna hear anything about that.
The mainstream media is not talking about the gap in the Romney tape.
They're not interested in it because the Romney tape has already served its purpose.
But we've got we've got Obama admitting in 1998 that he believes in the redistribution of wealth.
The point about that is it's not just wealth that these people want to redistribute, it's everything, folks.
Socialist liberals, but I know it's got to be kind of frustrating for you because you don't need a 1998 tape from Obama to tell you that he's a socialist.
He tells us every time he opens his mouth.
The last three and a half years have been big government, statism, socialism, whatever, whatever you want to call it.
That's the whole point.
That's what the election's all about.
And yet there's there's people on our side think they've been handed, whoa, whoa, we'll look at what we So they haven't had the guts to say this about Obama themselves.
They haven't had the guts for three and a half years.
I'm talking about people on our side have not had the guts.
What are these conservative blogs in business to do?
What what what are these conservative magazines in business to do?
What I really what is their purpose?
Well, I know it's subscriptions and and and finance, but but beyond that, what what what is the mission?
What what are they what are they actually trying to do?
Do they care who wins elections or not?
I I don't know.
Anyway, I I uh well, ex all this will become clear as we go through the uh busy broadcast today.
But the very idea that now people have Obama saying, yeah, I believe in the redistribution now all of a sudden safe to say it.
He's he's been what he is.
My gosh, we've played tapes from 2007, 2001, 2002, we've had Obama explaining the SEIU.
We've played it, I don't know how many times.
His plan for single payer health care, how it's gonna take 10 to 15 years, he's gonna have to sneak it by people, he's got to kill the private insurance industry in order to make the government the only place people can go for health insurance.
And we've had people afraid to say any of this because what?
They're afraid of being called racist or whatever, which are gonna be called racist anyway.
My point to you is this is not over, and no, and it's nowhere near over, and in fact, it's much worse for Obama out there than it is for Romney right now, given if you put things in context and have the proper perspective, you look at the money Obama has spent, the things that they've done to take Romney out, Romney's a point behind or two points ahead, depending on the poll you look at, all these polls are way over sampling Democrats.
And folks, I am not coming here artificially positive.
That doesn't help anybody.
It's not real.
I just I'm sharing my gut with you.
I'm just telling you what what I have to think about it.
Now, Obama, even though we all knew it, it still, I guess is useful for those who didn't know it.
Obama has now staked out the position that we always said that he had.
His attacks on Romney the last 24 hours underscore that he believes in more dependency, more government, more spending, more debt, more printing of money.
Not once, especially since Romney talked about the 47%.
Not once did Obama take the occasion of this to say that he supports productive, hardworking taxpayers.
Not once has Obama said that he supports success and achievement.
He doesn't talk that way.
We've got the Middle East on fire.
We got France now facing down their own problem with the Muslims because some cartoons that have been published.
And he's he's on Letterman last night talking, yeah.
Well, yeah, one thing I learned, Dave, is you gotta be president of everybody.
Well, he's not president of everybody.
Barack Obama's enemies are the people who make this country work.
Barack Obama's enemies are those who succeed.
Those are the people whose income he wants to redistribute.
Those are the people whose income he wants to take.
Using the power and the force of the federal government to do it.
And then after that he goes over to Jay-Z's sports bar, the 4040 lounge, and they had something 800 bottles of champagnes to 800.
No.
$800 a bottle champagne stacked up in like a pyramid of champagne with uh the picture I saw.
There was uh there was nobody there.
Well, you're not supposed to say it's a cheap stuff.
If I said that, I'd you know they'd tell me I'd lost touch if I if I said $800 champagne were cheap.
Um anyway, here's Obama out pop culturing it.
Hanging around with Jay-Z and Beyonce at the 40-40 sports bar after going on a letter and telling you, well, one thing I knew, you gotta be president of everybody.
And he's not.
His entire attack, you know, the Obama's entire attack on Romney has been to say an effect that he represents all the people while Romney writes Off a chunk of the people.
I mean, that that that's what Obama tried to do yesterday.
Well, no, Romney, you know the interesting thing about that 47%.
One of the fascinating things about that 47% that Romney taught the 47% that don't pay taxes, the 47%.
We pointed out yesterday that not everybody wants to be in that group.
The Democrats think that the people in that group like it and are resigned to it, and that's their lot in life, and they know that government's their salvation, and so they're going to be offended and frightened if anybody comes along and talks about taking away whatever they got.
The real truth about that 47% is, and I don't know what the percentage is, but there are a lot of people who are in it who do not think they are, who will not admit they are, and don't consider themselves to be in it.
There's a lot of people of 47% that don't pay taxes, who who would rather have a job, who'd rather be earning income, who'd rather be participating in a growing thriving economy, and as such they don't think of themselves in this taker's losers category that the media is trying to say that Romney was talking about, which he wasn't.
But the fact that there was confusion about is what represented the golden opportunity as far as I was concerned, because they were all paying attention now.
You had him.
So we have we have the occasion of this tape to make the case for our principles.
That's the Obama tape, admitting it is a redistributionist.
Obama used the occasion.
The Romney tape.
Take your pick.
Obama used the occasion to make it crystal clear that he believes we're undertaxed, that the federal government does not spend enough, that the federal government does not regulate enough, the federal government's not big enough, the federal government's not doing enough.
That's how he chose to react to the Romney tape.
And he intends to expand the size and reach of the federal government as much as he can.
He used the occasion of this tape to tell us that he has no new ideas, he hadn't learned anything.
Unemployment's going to continue to increase, the dependency on government will continue to expand.
That's what he has in mind.
That's where his policies have taken us now, and there isn't anything new about his policies.
How can you represent all the people?
As he said last night on a Letterman.
How can you how can you say that you represent all of us when you promote class warfare?
When you want division in the country, when you want people at war with each other.
How in the world can you say you represent everybody?
And then you go out and you race bait.
And in the so-called war on women, that's that's president of everybody?
War on women, race baiting.
We all know that Obama's about dividing.
He's about attacking his entire campaign, and in fact his entire presidency is about dividing and attacking and creating animosity, peddling lies, pandering the groups.
Let me suggest something here.
If millions, if millions of Americans do not view themselves as victims and entitled.
If they don't view themselves that way, that's a point that was made, I just made it too.
If millions of Americans don't view themselves as victims and entitled, we can shut down at least half the federal government.
Because we have department after department, agency after agency that exists to supposedly protect the rights of one American from another to equalize incomes and equalize outcomes and to regulate so-called inequality out of our system.
So shut them down.
Obama just announced the Americans don't consider themselves victims or entitled.
Actually, the vast majority of Obama supporters believe exactly that.
They believe exactly that they're entitled.
He fosters that.
He's made them feel like they are victims and they deserve to be compensated somehow, some way, for what this country, or for what the 1%, for what whoever has done to them.
His supporters, the majority of them believe exactly that.
He believes exactly that.
He perpetuates that belief system.
Almost every speech he gives is about this country's inherent unjustness, unfairness, and how he's here to equalize it.
He's here to what does he say calls it everybody's a fair break.
Chef, fair shot.
Everybody's equal chance.
Well, of course, the implication is everybody doesn't.
Anyway, I take a break here, folks.
You be cool.
You sit tight.
We're coming back with much more, having just gotten started here on the EIB network.
Don't go away.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
I wish you all could have heard Bo Snurdley during the break.
Snurdly Snerdley is fit to be tied today.
And I have to tell you, every day is a roller coaster.
And I'm sure it is for you too.
Every day if you're involved in all this, if if you're involved in it professionally, avocationally, it's a roller coaster.
Every day different.
One day you get up feeling okay, next day you get up feeling rotten.
In the middle of the day, you've got up feeling okay, and something happens to make you get all ticked off.
It can happen multiple times a day.
And everybody tells you about it.
You're trying to stay in an even keel.
Everybody tells you about it.
Everybody dumps on you.
Everybody expects you to have the answer.
You know what I'm talking about.
Snurdly says to me, in 14 minutes, you just put everything in the last three and a half years and four days in perspective.
You did it 14 minutes.
How come Republican consultants can't do it in 24 hours?
24 hours, how about they can't do it inside of a campaign?
You and I heard Ed Rollins say yesterday.
And look, these guys don't like me.
I uh it's it's it's not personal.
They just they think that I don't know what I'm talking about.
Politics is their business, they're the professionals, and I'm just this blabbermouth on the radio.
But I heard Rollins, he was on Fox, and he said something, it's a paraphrase.
He said, Well, Romney hasn't turned out to be quite as good a candidate as we had hoped, or as some had hoped.
And took me back to the primaries, and I thought, well, wait a minute, you were the guys that told us he's the only guy that can win.
You were the guys that told us that of all the people in the Republican primaries, he was electable.
Well, what did you not know then that you're just learning?
Turned out not to be as good a consultants unable to make him.
I mean, Romney's who he is.
In fact, I would I would have to say, looking at things here, that a lot of the conventional wisdom about Romney, even, you know, I've been wrong about something.
I'll mount something I was wrong about.
I thought Romney care would be an albatross around his neck.
That would be one of the primary obstacles he had overcome in the campaign.
It hasn't yet.
Now it could very well be in the debates that Obama bring it up, but it hasn't been yet.
It hasn't been a factor.
Romney care has not been a factor.
I was dead wrong about that.
There are a lot of examples like that too, where a lot of people have been wrong about things that they predicted.
And if you go the Rasmussen poll today here, or it's a summary, daily update, New Hampshire, Romney up three, 55% of independents still see the presidential race as a choice between a lesser of two evils.
81% think government aid recipients should be required to prove legal residency.
This is sample of what Rasmussen's discovered.
Also, there's another poll out there that um uh.
Well, 78% of Democrats, I'll get to the whole thing when I find it in stack.
78 or 73% of Democrats think the purpose of government is to provide, to guarantee food and housing.
73% of Democrats believe that.
Food and housing.
That's the role of the government, to provide food and housing.
By the way, these Rasmussen numbers, these are likely voters.
The other polls that are out there have really, in some cases egregiously so, oversampling Democrats.
Another break.
We're going to get to the audio sound bites when we come back, because there's a lot of it here.
Sit tight.
It was a survey by the Pew people, Pew Center for People and Press.
The uh the Pew's American values survey.
And here's what it found highlights.
Three out of five independents.
This is earlier this summer, by the way, when they did this poll.
Three out of five independents endorsed the idea of government guaranteeing citizens' food and a bed.
Same number of independents, three out of five, agree that government should take care of people who can't take care of themselves.
And of course, if you're Barack Obama, you want to grow that number.
You want to grow that number right into the middle class, turning them lower class because dependence is what you are all about because you are into power.
If you are Barack Obama, you want power over people, and the way to have that is to have them totally dependent on you for their needs, not their wants.
You throw those in as goodies, and then you really own them.
You provide their needs.
And of course, that getting everybody needs a phone.
Everybody needs a flat screen.
Everybody needs a house.
Everybody it never ends.
And thereby the Democrat Party is in power in perpetuity.
It's exactly what Obama's all about.
This is why so many of us are worried about whether or not we've lost the country.
It's why Romney's 47% comment is relevant, and it's why it's an opportunity.
If some people in the Republican Party would put their heads together and understand this.
Three out of five independents?
If that's the case, if three out of five independents endorse this idea of government guaranteeing food and a bed, then how the hell is Romney leading by 15 with independents?
Because that does not represent Romney's view.
On the Democrat side of this, it's 78%.
78% say basic food and shelter should be government guarantees.
78% of Democrats.
Food and shelter, government guarantees.
Subprime mortgage crisis.
Hello.
No big deal.
So what's a little debt.
Washington Post says today.
In June, Pew found that 59% of independents believe the government should help those who can't help themselves.
Moreover, 58% believe that the government should guarantee minimal food and shelter.
It doesn't sound very independent to me.
They love to be called independent, open-minded, make up their mind.
They want to be dependent?
Anyway, this is another poll I...
If it if it's true, then we have lost the country.
And I don't think we've lost the country, so I'm not going to believe the poll.
I do not want to believe we've lost the country.
I don't believe this.
If this were true, Obama would be up 20.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
If I don't start these things, I'll never get to them.
And we got a lot of good ones today.
Here's Obama in Chicago, Loyola University.
He was a state senator then.
This is October 1998.
What we're going to have to do is somehow Resuscitate the notion that government action can be effective at all.
There has been a systematic, I don't think it's too strong to call it a propaganda campaign against the possibility of government action and its efficacy.
I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pull resources and hence facilitate some redistribution, because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot.
Yeah, make sure everybody's got a shot.
So you what does that mean?
Everybody gets certain amount of money, same amount of money, no matter where you have to get the money, you take it from those who have it and have produced it, you give it to those who don't, everybody's got the same amount of money and turn them loose, and everything's gonna be cool.
Is that what that means?
Everybody's got a shot.
Well, what happens, Mr. President, if you do that?
Let's say pick a number.
Give everybody a hundred grand.
Just do it for the sake of our little experiment here.
What do you bet the people who didn't have any money before you gave them will be out of that money inside of six months?
And the people who had that hundred grand before you took it from them find a way to get it back.
What do you bet, Mr. President?
In our little experiment to give everybody a hundred thousand dollars, the same people who didn't have it before you gave it to them will end up not having it in a very short period of time.
So what have you actually accomplished?
It's a one-time thing, right?
Could we say give everybody a hundred grand?
Give everybody a fair shot.
Everybody said a fair shot, and then after what?
After a year we reassess.
And what happens, Mr. President, when a lot of those people you gave a hundred grand to are back down to having nothing?
Do you do it again?
Do you do it every year?
At what point do you realize this doesn't work?
Why would you ignore world history?
This has never worked anywhere in the world.
See, that's where we get caught up, folks.
It's not about working.
It's not about success.
It's not about making sure everybody ends up the same.
It's about making them think that's what you care about.
It's making them think that you're going to be there to back them up when they bomb out.
It's about them thinking that you're going to be there to take again from the success successful of the achievers and give back to the people who get screwed again.
The theory, the reason people don't have anything is they got screwed by the people who do have everything.
People that have a lot stole it from the people that don't have anything.
So we got to take it away from the people who have it, redistribute it for efficacy, and we have to resuscitate this brilliant guy said.
Uh somebody resuscitate the notion of, by the way, this is 1998.
What's going on in 1998?
Who's president in 1998?
William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, president 1998.
What's going on then?
I'll tell you what's going on, a welfare reform.
And that's got Obama all agitated.
Welfare reform.
People are being told, oh, got to go work now to get welfare.
That's what he's all ticked off about.
What the hell's going on?
He got a Democrat president in 1998.
What the hell's he angry about?
What he's he's got a big redistributionist in Clinton.
He's got a guy that raised taxes.
You know, what's he what's he ticked off about here?
Well, it could be welfare reform, but more than likely it's just this who Obama is.
So everybody's got a fair shot.
Do you give a fair shot every year?
Give him a fair shot one time.
Nothing's going to change.
You give somebody doesn't know what to do with their life a hundred grand, it's going to be gone inside of what?
A year.
It's been proven.
I'm not just making this up, it's been proven.
But we didn't need this tape.
I mean, I like having it.
Who knows?
It might persuade people who are just now starting to wake up and understand this stuff.
You never know.
Glad it's out there.
You and I, this audience, you didn't need it to know it because we know liberals.
And that's why January 16, 2009, we said we hope Obama failed.
Well, I did, and you agreed with me.
Hope Obama failed.
Some of you might have been frightened I said that, but I wasn't.
But now you all know.
But remember October 12th, 2008, Toledo, Ohio.
A guy mining his Own business, Obama's campaigning, Joe the Plumber.
And Joe the Plumber uh says your tax plan.
Your tax plan, Obama, is going to tax me more, isn't it?
It's not that I want to punish your success.
I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they've got a chance at success too.
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for it.
Oh, you remember how fast the media hustled to try to spin that?
They knew they had trouble there.
They know that's not what this country's all about.
They know that's not what people are going to vote for.
Spreading the wealth around.
Democrats never run on that.
They talk about it until it's time to run for re-election, and then they drop that, start sounding conservative, and they do this stuff after they get elected and are serving in orifice.
I just want to make sure that uh everybody who's behind you, Joe, that uh they got a chance for success too.
You see, Joe, because you had success means you took success away from somebody else.
Because Obama believes in a zero-sum economy, a zero-sum game.
Somebody gets a raise of a dollar, somebody had to lose it, he believes.
Somebody gets a job, somebody had to lose a job.
Somebody has a successful career means somebody lost a successful career.
And so, Joe the Plumber, uh, you come along and uh you you do pretty well.
We got to make sure the people behind you uh have a fair shot too.
Uh spread the wealth around.
That's how he thinks.
Okay, now continue here with the oh!
Audio sound bites are gonna have to take a brief respite as we go to an obscene profit timeout.
Up next will be the media impugning me, laughing at me, making fun of me for my reaction to Romney's tape.
Talking about the 47%.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity, executing his signed uh duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
ABC's world news tonight.
They were shocked.
They were shocked that I liked what Romney said.
They couldn't believe what I said yesterday about the what agreeing with Romney and the opportunity that I liked what he said.
They couldn't understand it.
They were so stunned, they called here yesterday afternoon chief of staff, HR, and they asked him if I would appear in Good Morning America today.
And I said, Why do they want me?
Well, because your ratings.
No, they want me because they can't possibly understand how anybody would think that what Romney said is an opportunity for anything.
And lo and behold.
And Jonathan Carl, who I guess we've lost, he used to be a good guy at CNN.
He's a lone conservative there.
He's ABC.
I guess whatever happens to you when you go there has happened to him.
Jonathan Carr, let's go to the audio.
Here it is, right now.
As for the conservative reaction, conservatives have been deeply divided on this.
Some actually liking what Romney had to say.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh today.
This is to me such an opportunity to espouse conservatism and to explain to people.
And we know Romney's got it in him because he what he said to these people.
But Bill Crystal, who is a highly influential conservative commentator today, Diane called Romney's words, quote, stupid and arrogant.
So Republicans are divided tonight.
Thank you, John.
Recycling.
Oh, divided.
We're so happy.
Bill Crystal said, highly influential Bill Crystal.
Said that uh Romney's words were stupid and arrogant.
Bill Crystal calls somebody arrogant.
Um I don't know what they think they are accomplishing.
I uh I don't.
Delaware governor up next, the CNN's early start today.
You ever heard of that show?
It must be this like four or five o'clock in the morning show.
Early start.
Co-host John Berman.
You ever heard of him?
I haven't either.
He was interviewing the uh governor of Delaware, Jack Markle.
You ever heard of him?
I haven't either.
And uh John Berman said, There seems to be a split among conservatives About whether it's a bad thing or a good thing for Mitt Romney.
And there's some, including, including Rush Limbaugh said this is exactly the kind of thing Romney should be discussing.
I'm sure that that's what Rush Limbaugh believes.
I guess it's what Mitt Romney believes, but if you're a senior citizen, if you're a student, if you're a veteran who's come back from war, he's talking about you.
You're the 47% that he is saying, you know, you you feel like you're entitled.
You don't want to be working.
That's not the world that I live in.
It's not the world that most Americans live in.
Total BS.
It's the world you have created as a Democrat.
It is the world you have given this country.
You have happily turned 47% of the people or whatever the number is into people dependent on you as a Democrat governor and on Obama as a Democrat president.
That's precisely what your policies are all about, Governor Markle or Mark L, I'm not sure I pronounced it.
That's exactly what you want.
What you don't get, Governor, is that a large number of that 47% don't want to be there.
They're not proud.
They're not happy to be wards of the Democrat state.
And something else that you need to know, Governor.
Most people in the 47% don't consider themselves to be in it.
They think they have more than that in them.
They think they're better than that.
Now here's uh let's see, this morning on C-SPAN, Washington Journal.
The guest is Senator Tom Dungheep Harkin from Iowa.
And uh why why do we call him that?
He called somebody a dung heap, or he was a dung, he was doing something.
No, well, we didn't we didn't just make it up out of whole club.
I remember we have there's a reason for our nicknames here.
Anyway, Tom Harkin, uh, Senator Meyer was up there, and uh they took calls on uh Washington Journal, and is the caller is Neil from North Carolina.
I have a question for Tom Harkin.
He stands on the Senate floor and pumps up Obama, knowing Obama is a socialist.
I don't know where he's a coming from.
His dad, his dad was a comedy.
How can he go home at night and sleep knowing all these things about him?
I know Barack Obama very well.
He served with me on my committee uh when he was here in the Senate.
Everything you say is just nonsense.
Quit listening to Rush Limbaugh.
That's nonsense.
Whoa!
Well, quit listening to Rush Limbaugh.
All the guy said was Obama's dad was a communist.
Obama's dad was a communist.
Barack Obama uh Hussein Obama Senior was a communist.
Come on, come on.
Stop it.
Stop listening to Rush a little bit about it.
And here is Allison in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
As we uh head back to the phones or head to the phones, great to have you, Allison Hyde.
Hi, Rush, how are you?
Very well, thank you.
Good.
Um, I was just wanting to call you because my husband and I were sitting here having lunch and we were listening to the clip of um Barack Obama that you played from 1998, and my husband said to me, I can't take credit for this.
He came up with it, but he wanted me to call that um if you listen to him in that video, or that clip, rather, he doesn't falter.
He doesn't have any sort of a halting dictation, nothing.
He speaks that straight as if that is what he truly believes.
