Time Text
I was not making it up.
I haven't heard it, but I got it from a reliable source, a source I implicitly and deeply trust.
As an Obama ad, vote like your lady parts depend on it.
Now stop and think about that for just a second.
You talk about demeaning women?
That women have been reduced to body parts.
I mean, if it's a strip club, that's one thing, but this is a presidential campaign.
Talk about only caring about sex organs and not their minds.
Where do feminazis on this?
Hi, folks, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
So they went to the coach of the Ravens, John Harbaugh, said, Coach, what are you gonna do here?
How are you gonna keep your locker room from becoming a circus?
You got one player advocating for gay marriage.
They get Matt Burke saying, wait a minute, I don't want people to get the wrong idea.
The NFL players are not universally in favor of redefining what marriage is.
Matt Burke, by the way, is a Harvard graduate.
He is an economics major at Harvard.
Uh, so he might not have gotten a full indoctrination treatment there.
He's actually a Catholic and a and a pro-life activist.
But they went to Harbaugh and they said, John, coach, what are you gonna do about this?
He said, Well, I'm not gonna encourage it.
I'm not gonna discourage it.
As long as everybody respects everybody else's opinion, that's the main thing.
We talk about politics, religion, movies.
It's okay to have an opinion.
Yeah, for how long.
I was shocked when I saw this.
Also, right now, ladies and gentlemen, well, not right now, but just a moment ago, Fox News was covering the purchase of the Thompson prison in Illinois.
Does that ring a bell?
I can look at Snerdley.
He I know it does.
His mind is churn Thompson prison, Thompson Prison.
Where have I heard Thompson Pr?
That's the prison Obama wants to transfer Gitmo detainees to.
So he bought this prisoner, wanted to buy this prison in Illinois, and transfer Gitmo detainees there, and Congress denied them the funding to buy Thompson.
But the executive branch has bought it anyway.
That's the story on Fox.
Obama went ahead and bought the prison.
Deal would just consummated today from the Chicago Sun-Times, done deal, feds to buy Thompson prison from the state for 165 million dollars.
So we have another end run around Congress.
And if Obama's not re-elected, this means it's a dead certainty that the Gitmo detainees that he hasn't already freed will be put there.
Well, it's not technically an ad.
It's on the website.
Vote like your lady parts depend on it.
But if it's okay, I mean not an ad, but how long is it gonna be before it is?
Vote like your lady parts.
Well, we're supposed to oh who whoa, oh, it's a joke.
We're supposed to be lighthearted about when did that happen to the left?
When's the left ever laugh about anything?
When's the left had a sense of humor about things?
I wonder what the feminazi leaders really think.
They probably don't care.
Fact, let's let's jump forward.
Uh grab subite number nine.
We have a audio here to a great ad by the Susan B. Anthony list.
It is an ad, it's a devastating anti-Obama infanticide ad.
It's October now, folks.
October, the ads are starting to show it.
Um I want you to listen to this and and ask yourself how this stacks up to the Democrats' talk about their phony war on women.
Many children, more than you might think, actually survive failed abortions and are born alive.
I know because I'm one of them.
I was aborted and my body discarded, like I didn't exist.
But a nurse heard me crying and cared enough to save my life.
There's something else you may not know.
When he was in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny Basic constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion.
Not once, but four times.
Oh no.
I know it's by the grace of God I'm alive today.
If only to ask America this question.
Is this the kind of leadership that will move us forward?
That would discard the weakest among us.
How will you answer?
Can you I want you to put yourself, because all of you in this audience know about Obama's stand on infanticide.
You know that as a state senator in Illinois, he voted four times to allow babies who survived abortions to be killed.
Because that was the original intent of the mother.
Legislation would allow a second doctor to come in and finish the job after the abortion doctor botched it to save the original doctor any emotional distress or bring a second guy in the and it happened, and Obama was an activist on this.
He didn't vote present.
He was one of the leaders in this legislation, and that's why the whole thing about Obama and infanticide in certain sectors is an issue.
I want you to put yourself, imagine yourself not knowing a thing about this.
And you hear this ad.
In fact, Mike, I want you to play this thing again.
I want you to try to imagine yourself having no knowledge whatsoever of Obama and his role in Illinois in making sure that babies who survived abortions were nevertheless killed.
You don't know anything.
You've never heard that.
And this ad comes along.
Many children, more than you might think, actually survive failed abortions and are born alive.
I know because I'm one of them.
I was aborted and my body discarded like I didn't exist.
But a nurse heard me crying and cared enough to save my life.
There's something else you may not know.
When he was in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion.
Not once, but four times.
I know it's by the grace of God I'm alive today, if only to ask America this question.
Is this the kind of leadership that will move us forward?
That would discard the weakest among us?
How will you answer?
Now the ad doesn't specifically say what Obama did.
It just says that Obama voted to deny basic constitutional protections for babies born alive.
You're supposed to conc Whoa, Obama voted to allow babies who survived abortions to die.
They don't really say that.
You are to conclude it by putting two and two together.
Basic constitutional protections, of course, the declaration, the right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
Kind of leadership will move us forward, discard the weakest among us.
And you I wonder what your reaction to this ad would be.
Yeah, the babies are breathing.
I mean, they're alive.
They're alive.
They survived the abortion.
The ads done by such a woman.
If you don't know anything about this and you're hearing it for the first time, what is your reaction to that ad?
You I don't believe what are they saying.
That has got to shock people out of their wazoo.
And you know there are a lot of people that don't know anything about that regarding Obama.
Most people don't know anything about Barack Obama's past.
He's never been vetted.
While we're talking about the NFL John Elway, Super Bowl MVP Hall of Fame quarterback for the Denver Broncos in Denver yesterday at a campaign event for Mitt Romney.
Today has been a very good day.
Not only because of what happened yesterday, but because I get the opportunity to introduce to you, the next president of the United States, Governor Mitt Romney.
And you put that with Woody Johnson, the owner of the Jets, who says I'd Just as soon Romney win as my team.
The Jets win.
I don't know if you'll recall.
Last May, I had my annual spring fling, a bunch of friends in from all over the country, and it's just a four or five day golf event, wives show up, and it's political discussion every night.
A bunch of these people from the world of sports, a couple from television, politics, so forth, and the discussions are fabulous and fantastic.
And one night, I threw open for the table to discuss the subject of sports figures and being involved in politics or not being.
For example, this you don't see this much.
This man, Elway, is active with the Broncos.
He's the club president.
He can affect fans' attitude towards a team with his political views.
He's loved and adored in Denver.
But the argument is I think Michael, Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan, huge Democrat, huge Obamaite, but he wants Republicans to buy Nikes.
So he doesn't really go public with it.
That's a couple things for Obama, but he's not an activist.
He's not in the forefront leading things.
The question I put out was, you know, I watch these guys, I watch football games, baseball games, and they take place in a almost a cocoon, independent of anything that's going on in the country.
In the world of sports, the money is no problem.
A lot of the players are very wealthy, some are not as wealthy as as as the top, but nobody's experiencing economic hardship in the NFL because of what they earn.
Some lose it, waste it.
But got me to thinking how many of these people in the NFL, this was the discussion this day.
How many of them have political preferences?
How many of them are genuinely political interested, uh in politically interested and passionate like we all are, but don't say anything about it for fear of angering the fan base or what have you, or harming their endorsement possibilities.
How valuable would it be?
Is it about time we call on some of these people?
And it was a it was a fascinating discussion, and the conclusion, the consensus opinion was no, no, it's never gonna happen.
There's too much to lose by going political.
It's it's something people don't want the controversy rush.
Most people can't survive the kind of controversy you live with.
People in the world of sports don't want any part of it.
They got they've got enough controversy with elements of their own business, the way they're covered, the way they play.
They don't want political controversy.
Nobody wants what you get.
Besides, what's what's in it for them?
What what what could be gained?
And I said, Well, what about the country for crying out loud?
They're they're Americans too.
They depend on a decent economy for what they earn.
They depend on people being able to afford tickets, they depend on people being able to afford TVs.
They depend on people being able to patronize NFL sponsors.
Why don't they have a vested interest in the economy of the country?
Because if they don't, you know, the NFL's got potential problems.
What if it becomes a studio show?
What if people don't go to the stadiums anymore?
What if they're priced out of going in an economy like this or down there?
Who knows?
And everybody told me, Rush, you can dream, but the the you can find the most rabid conservative quarterback in the NFL is not going to say a word about it and is going to hope and pray nobody finds out.
You don't want the hassle.
He knows the media is all liberal.
If the media loves the quarterback because he's a great player, and then he goes political, the media will turn on him, and that's it.
He doesn't want that.
So Rush, you just better forget it.
I said, eh, okay, you you make good point.
And then look at what's happened here.
This is pretty prominent showing up.
Elway's a gutsy guy, anyway.
He's showing up at a Romney rally.
Now, owners, that's a different like Dan Rooney is uh in the Obama tank in Pittsburgh.
Uh there's in fact there's a news story out the vast majority of NFL owners are Romneyites or donate to Republicans.
Vast majority, few oriented toward the Democrats.
Uh it's one thing for owners, but actually, people who have worn a uniform or do.
I had to agree.
They're just not going to want the hassle they're going to get from the media.
And in fact, in fact, uh what was uh I just saw something the other day, and I'm having a mental block on it.
Oh, I'm uh don't want to waste your time while I think of it.
You take a brief timeout.
We'll come back and continue.
Your phone calls are next to the EIB network, do not go away.
Hey, here's a question for you.
L Way endorses Romney.
L Way is hated in Ohio.
Elway was the author of the drive against the Cleveland Browns, one of the most famous games in NFL history.
So is Elway's endorsement of Romney going to hurt Romney when Brown's fans, because the Browns are in all-important Ohio.
And they hate Elway.
Well, I'm just throwing it out.
This is the way the media might analyze this.
I'm just trying to prepare you for what might come of this.
It's the way they put the way they connect the dots.
I know it sounds ridiculous.
Um Daily Caller News survey shows that Mitt Romney with a commanding lead over Obama among doctors.
With Obamacare helping to sway their votes.
If the election were held today, 55% of doctors reported they would vote for Romney, just 36% would support Obama.
How on the L does he have 36% of them?
How does it- You know what bugs me?
All these doctors, how many of them did vote for Obama, knowing full well that Obamacare was coming?
You realize how many people voted for this guy in 2008 just because they thought they should have?
Because of what it would say about them, they were open-minded, they weren't racist or bigoted, and they might have hoped that it might actually mean the end of racism in the country and so forth, but I mean, I'll take them.
Don't misunderstand, but I'm not all that impressed with these Johnny Cunn lately types.
January 16, 2009.
Well, the doctors thought those doctors thought Obama was going to help them.
I'd like to know how, after what we went through with Hillary care, how any doctor would think that nationalized medicine helps them, given what's happening in Medicare already.
Uh, okay, that's right.
Where did they go to school?
So that's right, ladies.
Vote your body parts.
Vote your body parts, and while you're at it, vote for your babies, too.
Here's uh here's Jack Alexandria, Virginia.
Hello.
Hey Rush, how are you doing today?
Jack, I'm doing great.
Thank you.
Good.
Uh good.
Hey, I had a question, I had a comment for you about Obama and his main kind of message for the economy.
And the way I see it, he says, you know, things aren't really doing too good.
We know that, the facts aren't there.
But look how it would have been if I didn't do all these good things I did.
So basically, the point is that Obama's main fiscal point he's running on is a hypothetical.
And, you know, politicians generally don't deal with hypotheticals at all for a whole bunch of reasons that we know that Obama's campaign is based on this hypothetical that says, look what could have happened if I didn't do this.
Or it's kind of like asking people to make believe.
You know, what if I didn't do this?
It could have been so much worse.
He's got no other choice.
He can't run on what he's actually done.
All he can what he's really saying is things could have been worse.
That's what Clinton was saying.
It could have been worse.
It would have been worse without my policies.
Without my plans, it could have been.
By the way, the Obama campaign, the Regime just took down the lady parts page on their website.
They just took it down.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Well, I think Romney needs to get out there and say, well, look, you know, it could have been better.
Look if a Republican was there for the last four years and didn't do all these destructive things Obama wanted.
It could have been better.
And I mean, or at least to point out that he's just not even running.
No, that's not the thing.
The thing to say is how could it, it couldn't have been any worse.
This is the worst recovery in history.
This is the worst recovery since the depression.
The thing to say, and I don't, by the way, I don't want to get into what Romney ought to say.
I've tried that game.
You're always disappointed.
Uh and they haven't asked me and they won't ask me.
If they did, I'd tell them what's but I'm not, I don't I don't like playing as what Romney ought to say.
That that's that's you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Because they're not going to say what you think, ought to be said nine out of ten times.
But having said that, if this whole thing comes up, you know, Obama says, Oh, you know, if my policy thinks it'll have been even worse.
Romney, no, it can't get any worse.
This is the worst recovery since the depression.
It can't get any worse.
Unless you stay in office.
Uh something like that.
Ex-Senator Bond, Kit Bond is now backing Todd Aiken in Missouri.
Aiken refused to go.
And now a bunch of people led by Kit Bond, not a bunch, but a trickle of support here for Todd Aiken.
And by the way, folks, he can win.
Todd Aiken can beat Claire McCaskill.
Senate seat in Missouri.
Do not think that that cannot happen.
I got a brief timeout here at the bottom of the hour, another holy prophet timeout.
You sit tight.
We'll be back with much more right after this.
I'm checking the battery, is what I'm doing.
I got my new iPhone 5 here, and I'm checking the battery on.
It's a m well.
I'd love to tell you what I think about it, but I know people get to get upset when I start talking about football or golf or or Apple, so I'll let some I'll I'll put it aside.
Because what they're doing is MAPS business is over the top.
It's not that it's actually, I like the maps program on the iPhone, the iOS 6.
It's not you know that the media is the same no matter where you go.
It's just it's just unreal to look at some of the I don't know what I would call it.
This just this hysterical anti-Apple bias that exists in some of the tech media out there is is breathtaking to behold.
They hate them.
They hate them.
It's like they hate anybody who's successful at the top going to knock them off, except when whoever's at the top is a liberal, then that gets thrown aside.
By the way, Breitbart is reporting now that multiple requests for increased security in Benghazi by our consulate were denied by Washington.
The security lapses in Benghazi that led to the death of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans trace back to security decisions made by the regime.
That's the message of a letter Representative Daryl Issa sent to the uh Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today.
Letter indicates the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security prior to the September 11th attack, but the requests were denied.
Now we had earlier in this program a call from a retired Army Ranger whose theory was that the additional security or any security was denied because the Obama campaign did not want dead bodies.
Anywhere in the Muslim world on 9-11, they didn't want any dead concerned about the optics.
As they figured if if our side isn't armed, if we don't arm anybody, then they can't fire at anybody, it can't be fired off, nobody dies.
It's just silly.
It's stupid liberalism.
Flawed worldview that taints a policy.
But the bottom line is requests for security were made because there were perceived additional threats.
And the White House denied it.
or the campaign.
It's hard to separate the two.
Our next soundbite is not a parody.
Thank you.
It is an actual Obama campaign ad.
This I assure you, this is not from Saturday Night Live.
It's not a Scott Ott production.
It's not a production of the Onion.
This is an ad on a website, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees.
The ad is entitled Meet Richard Hayes.
My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Nick Rodney's trash.
We're kind of like the invisible people, you know.
He doesn't realize, you know, the service we provide, you know.
If it wasn't for us, you know, it'd be a big health issue.
That's not picking the trash.
Residents do come out and shake our hands.
Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we're doing, hand us waters and gator raids, you know, tell us we're doing a good job and keep up the good work.
Picking out 15, 16 tons by hand, you know, that takes a toll on your body.
When I'm 55, 60 years old, I know my body's gonna be breaked down.
Morney doesn't care about that.
There's not to worry about those people.
It is not a parody.
That was Romney's garbage man.
I'd tons.
What do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
So that's Romney's garbage guy.
Romney doesn't care.
Romney doesn't come out and hug him.
Romney doesn't give him water.
Romney doesn't give him Gatorade.
This guy, 15, 16 tons, you know, takes a toll.
When I'm 55, 60, I know my body's gonna break down.
Romney doesn't care.
So Romney killed a guy's wife.
Romney's a fellow.
Now Romney doesn't care about his own garbage man.
And what team Obama, they are definitely specialists in garbage.
They traffic in it.
They swim in it.
They know everything about it.
That's where it has I mean, if that's all they've got.
If that's all they got.
To go after Romney's garbage guy and try did I tell you he's going after the moron vote, or did I tell you that he's going after the moron vote?
I mean, this this is moron vote.
If it's garbage, it's Obama.
That's all you need to know.
Who's next?
Where are we going on the phones?
Give me a green light.
Somewhere.
Where?
Mark in Houston.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Anti-Occupy Libya deaddo's rush.
Ah, thank you very much, sir.
Aside from all due, well, with all due respect to the U.S. military service.
To me, the second toughest job in America would be the guy hired, the liberal gas seeker hired to listen to you.
Because at some point in time he's got to do like that guy the other yesterday, I think it was, who sits there and listens to you long enough and goes, What the heck am I thinking?
You know, if I if I can add something to this, I myself have wondered that.
They do have these people listening to me.
They're all over the White House has people assigned.
Uh media matters.
And I got what to them, it's obviously pure torture.
But how does it not make sense?
How does it not get through?
I just want to say to them it's very okay because many people are doing it for them to turn on their party to help save this country.
And I thank you for your time.
I appreciate your call.
They don't like the country.
It's another thing that, you know, try to persuade people of that.
But they don't like the country as founded.
They don't like capitalism.
Capitalism's unfair.
Capitalism steals from the poor.
That's how rich people get rich.
They steal from the poor.
Capitalism's unfair.
The rich get together and they hoard everything and they don't let anybody have anything else.
And don't have anybody have any opportunity to let anybody have any milk and don't let anybody have a big house or a car.
It's just unfair.
They don't like it.
And they think that taking money away from the rich is somehow going to end up in their back pockets, which of course never happened.
My guess is that these people assigned listen to me end up having a shorter career life expectancy than the people who work in animal shelters.
That that is uh that those people quit in about six weeks.
That's not a animal shelter, that's a tough gig.
Well, it's uh you you gotta watch euthanasia, these poor innocent animals.
That's a that's a tough gig.
They last about six weeks and they're out of there.
But the liberal listeners assigned to EIB.
Uh how long can they take it before they go nuts?
You realize how often they probably have to rotate them in and out in order to keep them from being persuaded and doing a 180 on their own side.
Here's John and Crofton, Maryland.
John, I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, you're a great man.
You're always right.
Um I think that uh Romney really should listen to you.
You said you don't want to give him advice because they never listen.
I'm looking at the uh second page of today's Washington Post and is a picture of Romney on uh his jet, and uh he's got his campaign chairman Bob White there and Beth Myers and Ed Galepp Gillespie, the three of them are I guess discussing uh what happened uh in Denver, or it says uh they're aboard the campaign plane uh above Denver on and it's it's uh uh uh between Ezra Klein's calm and Dana Milbanks.
But anyway, this is put in here, and I was thinking, well, who's giving uh Romney bad advice?
And I'm saying get rid of well, you can't, it's too late.
But stop listening to Bob White, Beth Myers, and Ed Gillespie.
Uh uh, you know, here he had it right uh when he came out against uh you know what was happening uh in Cairo and in uh Benghazi and uh if you remember uh the Cairo embassy, and it was sounded weird, that the U.S. Embassy in Cairo is coming out and apologizing uh, you know, for what you know what happened.
You know, blame America first.
You're apologizing before anything.
The apology was designed to make al Qaeda not do anything.
Yeah.
So what does Romney do?
He sticks up for uh uh the American uh tradition, uh the American Constitution, he sticks up for the first amendment.
He's not saying that the guy, you know, that anybody did anything right or wrong.
He's just saying, hey, we're Americans, you know, we have freedom of speech and everything else.
And these are guarantees, and you know, this is yeah, what supports our freedom, and then he went mute on it.
And I that that's why I blame uh White Myers and Gillespie or somebody.
Well, how do you know it's them?
How do you how do you know it's them and not Romney?
Look at Romney got beat up over that and uh it got beat up because they're treating him as though he is president.
He should have continued to act presidential.
All I see are three guys surrounding him on his uh his airplane uh, you know, before or after Denver.
You know, this is recent, like I said, it's in today's paper.
He's listening to somebody that's not giving him good advice because I would read Leo DeRosher's comments.
He was the uh manager of the old Brooklyn Dodgers, and he said nice guys finish last.
Right.
Well, you know what, Romney?
You know, I think Leo DeRosha was right.
And you're gonna find that out if you don't change your tactics, you've got to go at this point.
I'll tell you what.
I love Leo Lippy Screech.
I love the guy.
I love Leo DeRo.
Um it's fascinating.
I think I think what John here epitomizes, ladies and gentlemen is something many of you feel.
You don't want to sit around and just uh hope that there's a majority of people that want to stop Obama that show up and vote.
Uh he's gotta Romney has to get the base out, and and nobody wants to just assume the base will show up because Obama's enough to get him out.
Go conservative.
You know, just you know, drop this Obama's a nice guy in over his head stuff.
Nice guys don't do the kind of stuff Obama's doing.
But this wise, I he's not he's I don't know how much advice he needs.
He's an he's he's uh he's lived a long life.
He's got his own ideas about things.
I don't I don't think Romney's sitting around with no idea what to do and and and listening to things as a sponge.
Uh I just I know people, and you epitomize it, people want to see some fight.
They want to see Romney man up.
Look, you got the nomination.
Where is the Romney that did all that to Newt and to Rick Perry and all the other Republicans in the primary?
Where is that guy?
Because those guys are not nearly the problem that Obama is.
Maybe we're gonna see some of that in the debate.
We'll reserve it.
We got five weeks.
Anything can happen, but people want to see some passion.
Passion is a magnet, and they want to see some.
And we'll be back.
Lindsey Graham, Senator Lindsey Graham, says that he will do anything he can to block the regime from reimbursing defense contractors for severance costs if the firms don't send layoff notices to employees.
This is about Lockheed, and Obama has promised Lockheed something.
They're supposed to send out layoff notices based on sequestration and so forth.
And Obama doesn't want those notices going out before the election, obviously.
And he's leaned on them, promised them something.
And Senator Graham says he's gonna do whatever he can to block them from reimbursing these defense contractors, and like Lockheed or anybody else for the severance costs.
This is a big issue.
Another big issue not being reported accurately or hardly at all.
I have to unfortunately take a brief time out, be right back.
National Review, the corner read Romney's book.
They found out as governor he worked different jobs around the state, and one of the jobs that Romney did when he was governor, one day he gathered trash as a garbage collector to find out about the job.
He has collected garbage.
