Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program now documented to be almost always right, 99.
0.7% of the time.
I am your host, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned Maharashi.
And we're here at the uh the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Our telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Yep.
It was um Enrea Mitchell, NBC News in Washington, who announced that NBC and MSNBC were not going to air the tape of Obama talking about how big a socialist he is until it had been verified, until it had been authenticated.
Even though MSNBC had already aired it.
Now the Washington Post had already confirmed from the White House that it was Obama on the tape.
Doesn't NBC have any reporters at the White House?
Is there nobody up there anymore when Savannah Guthrie went to the Today Show?
Is that no reporters up there?
A White House phone number.
What are they waiting on?
A voice print analysis from the mother's mother's brotherhood, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hey, wait.
No, no, not until the Muslim Brotherhood tells us.
Yeah, but it could have been the filmmaker that made that tape and to try to pass it off as Obama.
Speaking of that, let's go to audio soundbite number 16.
This is Obama last night on a late show with Letterman.
I I still, with all this going on, Middle East in flames and our ambassador's dead and there's Obama yucking it up.
He's talking about how much he weighs, and he's talking about all this.
Really not presidential at all.
Celebrity of the United States type stuff, not president.
Anyway, Letterman said uh our ambassador and three others were killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
Is that an act of war, Mr. President?
We are we at war now?
What what happens here?
Here's what happened.
You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character, who is extremely offensive.
Come on.
Video directed at the at Mohammed and Islam making fun of the Prophet Muhammad.
This caused great offense uh in much of the Muslim world.
Come on, wait, stop that.
What also happened?
Stop it.
He's asked about Benghazi.
That's liberal.
Even the White House as now.
Jay Carney has had to admit that this was a premeditated attack.
It was planned days in advance.
Obama doesn't even know what his own White House is saying, or maybe he does and doesn't care.
But to blame this now on the shadowy character, cue this bite back up to the top.
Had a video released by somebody who lives here, short of a shadowy character experience.
Extremely offensive video.
Um, I forgot I forget to say the question.
The question that Romney was asked.
Let me do that, or I'll forget it again.
Here's the question that Romney was asked that got the 47% response.
It's a male voice on the tape.
For the past three years, all everybody's been told is don't worry, we'll take care of it.
How are we gonna do it in two months before the election to convince everybody that you gotta take care of yourself?
That was the question Romney got, and he's got a big donor here.
Somebody's given a lot of money, and the guy's fed up because when he says, Don't worry, we'll take care of it.
That's the regime telling the American people, the White House Obama, don't worry about we'll take care of it.
And this guy wants to know how Romney's gonna turn this around in two months.
How is Romney gonna convince everybody you have to take care of yourself?
This donor wants to hear Romney talk about self-reliance.
This donor thinks that it's a winning subject.
This donor wants to know what Romney's gonna do.
How in two months he's gonna get people start thinking the way people in this country have always thought since the days of the founding self-reliance.
Romney was being asked, how are you gonna convince people you need to take care of themselves?
And therefore his answer came, uh, 47% of them uh according to polls are not paying taxes, the the the content with the government taking care of them or what have you.
Only 33% of the 47% are getting the non-earned entitlements, welfare, food stamps, and so forth.
So this is why I just instinctively knew that this was a golden opportunity.
This is the question posed by...
Oh, folks, I meant to tell you this yesterday, or comment on it.
And I just saw this guy's picture up on Fox.
The Muslim Brotherhood guy, President Morsi, from day one, after his election to the presidency, Egypt, he said number one objective is to have the U.S. release the blind sheikh.
Omar Abdel Rahman.
And apparently there was a report a couple days ago that a deal had been struck to release Rahman back to the Egyptians after the election.
Now there's some denials that have gone back and forth.
But you want to bet that if Obama wins, he does that.
I guarantee he'll do it.
You don't think so?
You don't think you don't think he'd return Omar Abdel Rahman after he wins the election when he has more flexibility?
Of course he will.
And he'll do it under the guise of furthering normalizing relations with Blob, just like the Brits, the Brit liberals gave up the Libyan guy.
There's no question, I don't think Obama will make that uh make that deal.
Okay, here, go back to Audio Sound by 16.
Play it again from the top.
Here's what happened.
You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who uh is extremely offensive video directed at the at Mohammed and Islam making fun of the Prophet Muhammad.
This caused great offense in much of the Muslim world.
Uh but what also happened was extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of our embassies.
Now he said that last night, folks, and his White House has admitted before he went into uh appeared on this show yesterday that they now know that the Benghazi attack was premeditated, that it was pre-planned two or three days in advance.
In other words, the video had nothing to do with it.
But he's continuing to lie about this.
The video had nothing to do with it.
So it's clear Obama thinks the majority of people watching Letterman are absolute dunces.
He thinks that they are absolute idiots.
And by the way, the Los Angeles Times has a story today, yesterday.
I kid you not on this.
There's a story, and I'm pretty sure it was the LA Times, that some experts just, you know, maybe this ought not be free speech to criticize a religion.
It was the LA Times.
Maybe it ought not be free speech.
I'm telling you, we are headed in a totalitarian direction.
We are headed there.
This was no, it wasn't Obama, it wasn't regime people, it was it was it was uh academics.
Expert academics, some think tanks, some university somewhere say, Oh, maybe uh maybe uh criticizing religion really ought not be considered free speech.
If this is going to be the result, perhaps we should have limits and criticizing Islam.
Now, here's Letterman asking, is this an act of war?
Remember when he went out and addressed the nation after the death of the ambassador.
When he finished, first question from a reporter was, Mr. President, is this an act of war?
And he turned his back on the press court and walked out.
He wouldn't answer his friends in the press corps.
But he goes on a late night comedy show.
And on a late night comedy show, with an absolute, absolutely vacant David Letterman.
There's so much air in that head that it's impossible to measure.
I'm telling you, just a genuine ignoramus.
Funny guy, but a genuine ignoramus.
And that's where Obama goes to answer the question.
Late night comedy show.
Ready to take on foreign policy with David Letterman and Paul Schaeffer.
Still the music guy, right?
And he's obviously he's not going to get any intellectual pushback from Letterman.
He's going to get fawning, anal poisoning is what he's going to get from Letterman.
And these are people that that's where he goes to answer the question.
Is this an act of war?
And he didn't even answer it then.
He just blamed it on this shadowy character does the video.
But then Letterman says, Well, what do we do for heaven's sake?
Can you believe what do we do for heaven's sake?
And here's what Obama said.
The broader issue here is there's a lot of change that's taking place in the Middle East.
And we, as Americans, always stand on the side of democracy.
We want people to have opportunity to determine their own fates and their own destinies.
But the message we have to send, I think, to the Muslim world is that we expect you to work with us to keep our people safe.
So it's their job.
It's the job of Morsi, it's the job of the Islamist supremacist protesters.
This is the big tough Barack Obama who won't answer the White House press court question on the uh are we at war?
He goes to Letterman, genuine airhead, answers the question, does answer the question, gets the question, and then courageously and bravely tells the Letterman audience that he's told those Muslims, look, pal, you have to protect us.
It is outsourcing.
Not only is it outsourcing, it's naive and silly.
Can you imagine a Churchill or a even a Roosevelt?
A Reagan.
Can you an Eisenhower?
Eisenhower calls up Hitler.
Okay, look, we're hitting, we're hitting the beach.
They're on D-Day.
It's up to your guys to take care of my people.
What is the world is this coming to?
Yeah.
I gotta take a break here, my friends.
You be good.
Sit tight.
Much more straight ahead.
The news never stops, and therefore neither do we.
And back to the phones to go to Huntington, West Virginia.
Brandon, I'm glad you waited, sir.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hey, good to be your uh first time caller.
A little nervous.
Um, I want to get your take on something.
Uh I'm watching the the cheerleading show for Obama on Monday night, Ryan Williams and the nightly news.
And I'm watching the statement play, and I'm thinking, man, they they must be desperate.
I see this as an act of desperation.
I think the momentum must be going so much in the favor of Romney that they're pulling this out now rather than just before the election.
Well, I think I mentioned yesterday that I think that is a possibility.
I don't think they intended to use this in September.
I think they intended to drop this in October.
I think there are a number of things that are the way they're looking at this, Obama ought to be way ahead.
All the money is spent.
They think they've destroyed Romney in ads, and they think Romney's saying dumb stuff, and now uh Republican consultants are out trashing Romney.
Uh Christy Peggy Noonan, you have uh Michael Gerson, you have uh who else?
Uh uh Mark McKinnon and the labels got they're all everybody.
That the entire Republican established told us that Romney is the only guy that can win, are out beating him up from one end of the field to the next.
I think Obama, uh with all this going on, how come Romney's still ahead in the swing states and how come I'm only one point up?
So I think they did drop it.
Uh, and I I think also this Middle East thing.
Uh Ambassador killed.
They had a distract and they have to continue to distract attention from the economy as well.
So I think I think you're on to something.
Well, it just means that Jimmy Carter's grandson is gonna have to stay in the basement and start hunting stuff down because this was supposed to be his big get.
And uh in the yeah, grab audio of somebody twenty two.
We have Jimmy Carter the fourth here.
Uh soundbites twenty-two twenty-three.
This last night, Anderson Cooper 19.
He interviewed Democrat activist James E. Carter the Fourth.
And talking about this video of Romney at the fundraiser, Anderson Cooper said, how did you discover the video?
I do searches, you know, regular uh searches just to keep up with what's being posted, just with generic search terms, Romney and Republican, for instance.
There's a few more that I use, but it was just on one of those searches that it came up.
Huh.
How about that?
Who knew?
Just search Romney and Republican and you get this video.
Popped up.
You know, our old buddy Brian Ross, um, the uh ABC investigative reporter who was convinced the Tea Party killed the people in the theater at the Dark Knight Rises or whatever.
He said, you know, it's illegal to record people in uh uh Florida if they don't know they're being recorded.
But that doesn't matter since it's Romney, we're not gonna make a big deal of it.
But just so you know, we know it's against the law, but we're not gonna pursue Jimmy Carter the fourth because he's a Democrat and we're Democrats, and we're all in this to destroy Romney and conservatives anyway, so we'll look the other way.
Bo, I just want you to know that we do know it's illegal.
But who's going to do anything to us?
Nobody.
So screw you.
So Now back to Jimmy Carter the fourth, Anderson Cooper.
Well, did you tell your grandfather that uh this story was coming out?
Did uh your grandfather, the ex president Jimmy Carter, give you any advice in any way?
Did uh did you only tell him afterwards?
I told him after he knows uh what I've been doing.
I understand he sent you an email once you sent him this story.
What did he say?
Yes, he said James, that's extraordinary.
Congratulations.
Extraordinary.
And um that's pretty I was pretty proud of that.
I put that in the top five of uh email responses I've got.
Okay.
Jimmy Carter the fourth, the grandson uh big achievement, top five emails, uh one from his grandfather, congratulating him on the correct search terms on uh Google.
No, it doesn't.
Peanut does not fall far from the plant.
Okay.
Who's next?
Uh Dan Overland, is it Overland Park, Kansas, or Overland?
Where are you?
Overland Park, Kansas.
Overland Park, yeah.
I used to live there in a shack.
Well, and I know that, and you know back when you wrote your first book, uh, the way things ought to be, uh, I found out that you were headed towards uh QCI.
That was before you were uh contributing to the uh health and wealth of the uh private corporate jet world.
Uh you landed on a uh I don't know who which airline, but I figured out you were coming.
Met you at the airport, you so graciously signed my that book for me, and it sits at my bed ever since.
So uh thank you for your kindness, and and I love the book, and you've been a hero of mine for a long time.
You're more than uh uh more than well.
Thank you very much for reminding me of that.
I I yeah, I remember that trip.
Do you?
Yes, you were I don't think another soul in the airport knew you were headed there but me because uh uh I I sat down and tried to figure out exactly how the heck he would get there.
Yeah, uh it worked.
It worked.
Yeah, you got you very creative on your very industrious of you to be able to figure that out.
Well, because we block tail numbers uh all kinds of things.
Yep, yep.
Um anyway, I called today, Rush, to give you a little bit of a taste of what of what it's like uh you and I both are the exact same age, 61 years old, to be sixty-one years old, to be a self contractor all your life,
to provide for your life and have a nice middle class uh home, a middle class wife, a middle class wife, middle class children, and in about uh late two thousand nine, watch your career fade to black.
No pun intended, but that's what happened.
And what career were you in?
I was project manager, uh uh really good project manager in the large scale telecommunications uh uh market.
We sold enterprise systems to large corporations and installed them, and I was the uh a project manager that uh but I uh what happened the telecommunications market changed that fast or it went south.
It was slowly going south, but all of a sudden, uh when uh when everybody knew that the uh the sticks were being set in front of them to block them, uh the question used to be uh, man, what's the latest technology as we set across the boardroom table?
What's the latest stuff we can buy?
What can we do with voicemail?
What can we do with integrating voicemail with uh with your email?
Look well, tell me all all about it.
We're ready to go.
Let's upgrade to the next version.
It became the IT guy would look at the corporate head and uh say, sir, we we sure could upgrade this, we sure could upgrade that.
And uh he'd look right back at him and say, Do we have dial town?
Yes, sir.
Uh we answering calls?
Yes, sir.
Uh we recording calls.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
That's it.
Until something good, until something bad happens, that's where we are.
So you stopped expanding.
Uh pardon?
Yeah, you stopped expanding.
That's um I don't know.
Sorry to hear stories like this.
I really am.
Thanks so much for the call.
Uh oh.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh oh uh oh, look at here.
Muslim cleric rips Bible at riot outside U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
During the demonstration, which was held in front of the American Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday, a Muslim cleric named Abu Islam tore and burned the holy Bible.
Well, that's it.
Now you know the Christians are gonna burn buildings down now.
That's it.
Christian riots are gonna Oh, wait, never mind.
That didn't happen.
Uh my fears are ill placed.
Ron in Cincinnati, thanks for your patience.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
It's an honor to speak with you, sir.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
All right.
Hey, a couple of real quick things ahead of my main point.
Uh, on if James Carter I fourth can spell Drudge, he's gonna learn that his uh video is now debunked.
Mother Jones is acknowledging missing some critical points of it.
Two minutes exactly right.
Two minutes.
Um second point to call David Letterman a buffoon is an insult to all buffoons, sir.
Um I know what you're trying to say, yeah.
Th third point, and this is the big one.
Uh, do you recall about a month ago, a little bit more than a month ago, when Michelle Bachman was uh from her intelligence committee perk, she was raising concerns about State Department security clearances as it relates to Uma, Wiener's wife.
Uh and uh No, no, Anthony Wiener's wife, Huma.
Yeah there you go.
Wuma Wiener.
So anyway, uh she raised some very serious concerns.
She was only able to get five members of the House to get behind her.
And now we're looking at what's going on in the Middle East.
The Middle East is on fire.
Um I heard what she said back then, and my congressman, I'm in Ohio one, uh, which is Southern Ohio Hamilton County.
We're considered ground zero for this coming election, sir.
Um my congressman sits on an important committee.
He's in he's a subcommittee chairman of the foreign relations committee.
He just got back from Cairo or from Egypt and a couple of other places over there.
So I sent him a message and I asked him to get behind Michelle Bachman.
Uh didn't hear back from him.
Um come to today, and boy, she is I mean, we look back and she's prophetic.
But here's my biggest concern, Rush.
Yep.
Uh w we're seeing the Middle East on fire.
Right.
We've seen absolutely nothing here in the United States.
We know they're here.
When are they?
I mean, what's what potentially uh is up their sleeve, and my contention or my concern is what about an election day surprise?
Think if if they hit uh if if they had terrorist activity on election day in Southern Ohio Florida.
I wouldn't uh if I I wouldn't worry about it, because I think what the regime is gonna do is they're gonna find every video out there and every offensive filmmaker and and round them up and and make sure that any future videos won't be released.
And if that happens, then there won't be any uprisings here or anywhere else in the uh in the Muslim world.
Everybody knows it's the video, and if the regime can get a handle on all of them that are out there, and they think they have, I feel pretty good about it.
I don't think there's gonna be a problem.
I'm I'm hopeful.
I'm optimistic, but we need to be vigilant, sir, and uh you're a lot of people, a lot of people say we have to, uh but we've been closing down universities.
Uh UT uh University of Texas Austin, we had to had to evacuate.
Um we had uh uh well a couple of others.
Um several schools have had to clear their camp eye, and it hasn't gotten a whole lot of press.
But again, it was all because of the video.
Now we got the video.
We got that shadowy character.
A big cis, Janet Palotano has this under control.
The Sheriff's Department, LA, the FBI, the CIA, Interpol, uh, all the people used to go after Don King.
Uh uh now focusing on the on the video guy and and his buddies.
By the way, you know, the video guy is denying that he did the video.
Nokula is deni- Well, no, wait a minute.
Nakula is denying that he did it, but Obama convicted him on Letterman last night.
Really?
Really?
The president of the United States talking to an absolutely clueless David Letterman, convicted the filmmaker, who is denying it.
You know, today's show.
Ron, you'll appreciate this.
The Today Show today was running a banner all morning long.
You know what the banner said?
Poetic justice, Jimmy Carter's grandson helped expose Romney Video.
I kid you not.
Poetic justice, Jimmy Carter's grandson helped exposed Romney Video.
Now, what that's all about is that Jimmy Carter IV said that what he really liked about this is there's a chance here to get even with all these people have been blaming his dad for being such a rotten president, or his grandfather for being such a rotten president.
So at some point, I mean you have to laugh at this, but really it's not funny.
NBC is I don't know how to put it.
It's it's not just NBC.
But I think they've they've not even any pretense of journalism there anymore.
There's not even any pretense of news gathering or or news reporting.
Um yeah, Nikula's saying he was deceived, and he's not the ultimate bad guy.
Chicago Tribune, U.S. activist says he was deceived over anti-Muslim films from Reuters.
An American Coptic Christian activist whose California TV facility was used to make a an anti-Islamic film that touched off protests.
I mean, I better where you go.
It's just it's in the Nexus database.
These these simpletons, these are the most closed-minded, small-minded, simple-minded people in the news business I've ever run across.
Anyway, he's denying it now.
He had nothing to do with it.
Even he was deceived.
Right.
Jimmy Carter's grandson, even with me.
What do you mean Jimmy Carter's grandson?
No, Jimmy Carter's grandson, NBC said Poetic Justice got even with Romney.
Well, yes, I did.
I said that Obama's gonna be Jimmy Carter's second term.
But the banner doesn't say anything about me.
It's just about Romney.
Yeah, but but well, I did.
The back and forth, the side-by-side comparison, this so forth.
I don't know.
There's but you may have a point about that.
Has Romney ever really criticized Jimmy Carter?
It's right.
Romney, it may be me that they're gunning for him.
Who's next?
Donna?
Donna in Green Bay.
It's great to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Really appreciate your time.
You bet.
In fact, I'm uh after work today, we'll be going down to my local victory center to be volunteering on the campaign I see going down.
Exactly what I'm talking about.
Went in for a bumper sticker, became a volunteer.
My kids said to me, Why, Mom?
You've never been involved before.
I said, I've never had a reason to until now.
I said, our founding father spot for something, we have to preserve it.
Um my question too is um no one has mentioned that uh President Carter's grandson is also one of the unemployed.
Yeah.
Most people are.
He he is unemployed, and so uh apparently he's got a lot of time to sit and do this kind of work, but is he out there making a full-time job to be out there punting pavement to find work?
How is he feeling four years of this?
Well sad.
I think if you ask Jimmy the Jimmy Jimmy Carter the fourth, he'd probably say it's hard work.
He's sitting down there in the basement or wherever.
And he's putting in search terms at Google.
And it's hard work.
Uh you you gotta come up with the right words.
Um you have to come up with uh the right dividers.
You gotta know whether you say Romney and video or Romney's video or video and Romney, or Romney and no video.
There's any number of ways you could go wrong and not find this.
It takes real talent.
Uh-huh.
Uh and a lot, a lot well.
Absolutely feeling a a great sense of achievement and accomplishment here.
And he's uh he's helping to uh what's the avenge?
Is that right?
The uh the the his grandfather.
So I don't know that he would agree with you he's uh unemployed.
He just isn't being paid.
But he's working.
Working very, very hard.
He's very proud of himself.
And he'll probably be invited to the next Democrat convention, too.
No, I don't my my iPhones appear to be lost.
I I I know I can't find them anywhere.
Can't find any evidence they exist.
So that's my next project when I leave here.
I've been looking the whole show.
I do it all, folks.
Multitasking, extraordinaire, and we'll be back tomorrow and do it all over again.
