Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I don't know.
I saw a very scary guy.
I saw a guy really, really angry.
And then I saw a guy, it's 2007.
He's running for president.
He's trying to tell everybody he's post-racial.
Post this, post that.
And I know he's speaking to a black audience, but just like when he speaks to the unions, the truth comes out.
Anyway, folks, great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
You know, my first reaction when I saw the tape was, ho-hum.
And the reason my reaction was, ho-hum, is because nothing on it is new.
But then, see, I had to, and everybody in this audience, yeah, we've seen it, we've heard it.
I mean, I've always known this guy's angry guy.
I've always known this guy got chip on his shoulder.
I've always known this guy's got a problem with this country.
And I've always known that there was no truth to this business that he was post-racial.
He's a liberal.
None of this was surprising to me.
And so then the questions then begin, well, okay, who's going to see this?
Besides us?
Is the Romney campaign going to use this?
You know, the Obama campaign keeps using the Romney 47% comment.
I think the Romney campaign ought to use this.
But they won't.
It's just, they don't have it in them.
This makes them nervous.
They don't want to go there.
Anything involving race.
I think it's going to end up backfiring on them.
And the media would try to make sure that would happen.
But there's a lesson to be learned here.
The Obama campaign keeps throwing it 47% video of Romney's right back at him.
They put it in ads and everything.
I don't know what the official Romney campaign reaction to this thing is.
Have you seen anything on that?
I haven't.
But what I saw was confirmation of everything that I have been saying on the program.
I'm not trying to make it about me, folks.
Don't misunderstand me when I say that.
I'm not the only one, by any stretch of imagination.
This is why I said I hope the guy fails.
I never bought any of the hype about the guy.
I never bought that he was post-racial.
I never bought into the idea that he was something fresh and new and was going to make all these wonderful things happen.
He's a liberal.
Plus, he's an angry liberal.
He didn't like this country.
He didn't like the way this country was founded.
Okay, so now it's on video.
Now it's out there.
And now it's not me saying it.
Now it's Obama depicting it.
And you've got the trumped-up black accent like down in Selma.
And we're going to go back and relib all that.
Hillary, I know tired.
I'm going to go back and relib all of it.
That southern fried accent that Obama put on before the black ministers.
Was he raised in the southern part of Hawaii?
Where did he pick that accent up?
I've been to Hawaii.
I've never heard that accent over there.
I've been to Hawaii a lot, in fact.
His accent got so strong, I half expected him to tell the audience that he wasn't no ways tarred when he was going on and on about this.
But I guess, you know, it was what happens when you've been born somewhere close to Selma.
But it's clear, folks, Harry Reid was right.
Obama's able to turn on that Negro dialect whenever he wants to.
And remember, at the time this speech was given, 2007, everybody is telling us that this post-partisan, post-racial guy, he's brand new.
He's fresh.
What was it that Biden said, we got finally in our party got a fresh, clean guy that's black that doesn't sound black.
Oh, yeah, except when he wants to.
But it wasn't just the shucking and jiving that was a bit offensive.
He was racebaiting.
He was racebaiting and fear-mongering.
This is, you know, folks, this is the kind of talk that gets the rabble roused up.
This is a community agitator talk.
Now, you sit down, play the video here.
I'm assuming that everybody by now here has heard it, seen it, or heard enough about it, but we'll get to the video or the audio in just a second.
This is rabble-rousing kind of talk.
But he race-baited throughout.
There was never any post-racial aspect to Obama.
All of that was an act.
And probably why Hollywood admires the guy.
He's a great actor.
He's got a four-year role.
You know, they have a two-hour role when they appear in movies.
But he was doing all the things that we're told Republicans do.
He was rabble-rousing.
He was the kind of guy that this is what community agitators do.
They stand out there in either the public union hall or on the street corner.
They get people revved up at the system.
They get them hateful and angry and God knows what else, motivated for action.
And he's race-baiting and fear-mongering to a particular audience while he's running for the presidency.
He was racebaiting and fear-mongering while he was telling us how he wanted to raise the level of political discourse, which he claims he still wants to do.
And he was using one of our country's worst natural disasters and its worst terror attack to try to pit blacks against whites.
There wasn't any post-partisan, post-racial aspect to that speech.
That was pitting people against each other.
Again, I'm glad it's out there.
People say it's been out there on YouTube and whatever since 2007, 2008.
Maybe so.
But I'm glad it's out there because it illustrates and demonstrates in Obama's own words and behavior, everything that you and I understand and have understood about him from the get-go.
And he's perpetuating all these lies about Katrina.
He claimed the government didn't care about New Orleans because New Orleans was black.
And we suspended the act that Stafford Act, whatever, that makes local communities pay a percentage of recovery costs.
New York, they didn't have to pay anything because 9-11, that was so big.
And Holmestead, Miami, they'd have to pay anything after Hurricane.
But New Orleans, they had to pay because they're black.
That's race baiting.
That's shouting fire in a crowded theater.
That's throwing a match on gasoline to that audience.
Now, this thing may rally a base.
I don't know what the condition of Obama's base is in.
There are differing opinions on this.
Some people say his base is as revved up and as enthusiastic as the Republican base is.
Well, if it isn't, this might do it.
I mean, this is the kind of talk that that extreme liberal Democrat base loves.
Every syllable of what he said, they love because they hear it as an attack on us, as an attack on conservatives.
And we are their number one enemy, not the terrorists in Benghazi, not al-Qaeda.
We, ladies and gentlemen, American conservatives are the number one enemy of the Democrat Party and of Barack Obama.
There's a news media telling us this is this is old news.
Oh, really?
Old news?
You people in the media telling us that you've known all along he's a racist and a fear monger?
Is that what you're telling him?
This is old news.
Even before this thing had been released, a Democrat National Committee called a bunch of reporters and asked them to send out some tweets and responses to try to kill this thing before it ever got started.
They didn't call senators and congressmen.
They called reporters.
And there's a long list of reporters that tweeted out mocking things about Chatsworth Osborne Jr. and Fox News and Drudge, the Daily Caller, and so forth, even before the thing had been released.
And then they tell us it's old news.
It's old news that he can, when he needs to, race bait.
It's old news that he can fear monger and hate monger.
So I'm wondering to how many people is this news?
Snerdley, it wasn't a big deal to Snerdley.
Well, one of the reasons, though, did you hear, were you subject to the buildup of this thing?
You didn't know about it.
Well, I did.
I got the buildup of it.
I heard about it early yesterday afternoon, and I chose not to mention it.
And I didn't seen it.
I'm not going to tout something I haven't seen.
It wasn't available to be seen at the time I was in the area, so I told about it, but I didn't go with it.
But yet, I had people email, you know what's in it?
Do you know what's in this?
So there was a lot of anticipation, a lot of buildup.
And I thought it was going to be something new that we hadn't seen.
And it is stuff that's this is the kind of stuff, folks, that enabled me to form my inarguably correct opinion about the guy.
There's no mystery who he is.
There never has been.
That's what's been frustrating to me about this.
I think I'm just an average guy like anybody else.
Is if I can see it, why can't everybody else?
That's been the most frustrating thing about this for four years.
Is how come I'm on the canoe alone?
Well, figuratively speaking, alone.
And on January 16, 2009, when I said, I hope he fails, I sure was on the canoe alone.
And I was on the canoe alone for six months, figuratively speaking.
A lot of things in this video that, if you're hearing it for the first time, need to be pointed out and put in certain context for you.
I mean, Barack Obama denied that he embraced Jeremiah Wright's racist worldview.
He pretended to reject Reverend Wright.
Remember that big race speech that he gave in Pennsylvania where he threw his white grandmother under the bus?
He also threw Reverend Wright under the bus.
That was 2008.
That was less than a year removed from this video.
And there he is in his video, buddy-buddy with Reverend Wright.
He has not thrown Reverend Wright overboard.
He's still buddy-buddy with Reverend Wright and has been all for Reverend Wright's worldview is Obama's worldview.
Sat in the guy's church for 20 years.
And magically, we're supposed to believe, oh, you know what?
One day I realize I'm going to throw it overboard.
We also learned in this video that Michelle Mybel went to Reverend Wright, complained a lot about Obama.
It's a lot of stuff.
But I think this tape demonstrates again that he was a complete fraud in how he presented himself, the American people.
He was a complete fraud, and the media knew it.
And this is why he wasn't vetted.
That's why this stuff didn't show up in the campaign in 2008.
He wasn't there precisely to hide this stuff.
Everybody knew that this would not be helpful.
Let me just tell you this.
I think the one thing to me that is new, and it isn't, it's been out there, but it's new to me only because I have a newly acquired sphere of knowledge to attach it to, and that is his attack on the suburbs.
He really, really has pent up animosity for people in the suburbs, and it's made very clear in that tape that the Daily Caller got a hold of.
Stanley Kurtz of the National Reader has written a book on Obama's plans for the suburbs and his resentment for people in the suburbs and people who have left the cities to move to the suburbs to escape the rat trap that is the cities.
And in the process of leaving, they have been racist.
Because when you leave the city in Obama's worldview, you're leaving blacks.
You're abandoning blacks to their decrepit schools and their bad neighborhoods that, of course, are the product of liberalism.
And the suburb people go out there to escape all that and live lives that are more productive and have a greater quality and so forth.
And he resents that.
And he made that point in the speech last night.
It's one of the first, that's the first soundbite I've got about this speech is his assault on the suburbs.
So we'll get to that.
We also, we got a couple of other preachers, black preachers, video, audio here to play for you.
And of course, we got Biden and Paul Ryan and the whole middle class have been buried for the last four years.
So you sit tight.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
You knew that.
It's EIB Network.
You knew that.
And a phone number, you also know.
See, I didn't even waste any time at the beginning of the program and all that minutiae.
I just went straight into it.
Got in, got it, and got out.
Don't waste any time on this program.
You talk about efficiency.
We are efficient here at the EIB network.
There's one thing about this daily caller video that's been released of Obama I'm not crazy about, folks, and that is tonight's the first debate.
And this isn't going to come up.
And we shouldn't need this tape to dispatch Obama.
We're sitting here.
We have the worst president, perhaps, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe in the history of the country.
We're sitting here with the worst president ever.
We've got an economy falling apart.
We've got foreign policy falling apart.
We've got this whole situation with our dead ambassador in Benghazi and all this.
That is the stuff that was on the front pages before this video hit last night.
I'm telling you, we shouldn't need this.
And if it helps, all the better.
But my gosh, we're sitting here with the absolute worst disaster of a president and administration.
And it is only going to get worse once there's no accountability, once there's no future election that has to be won, once there's no campaign that has to be run anymore.
People are fully aware of the tax burden, the economic disaster, the rise in government, the money that's going to be taken out of the private sector starting in January.
We're looking at a compounded disaster if this guy's re-elected.
Anyway, here, I want to take you back.
This is me, August 2nd, okay, on this program.
Once you give Obama a second term where there is no accountability, you'll have to face re-election again.
It doesn't matter how mad people get, then Katie barred the door.
See, suburbanites aren't paying their fair share.
Suburbanites have taken from the cities.
In suburbia, that's where the good schools are.
That's where the clean malls are.
That's where upscale living by comparison is.
They can't have that.
Remember, the rich are to blame for everything.
The achievers, those who succeed on their own, they are the ones to blame for all of these problems.
You fled the inner cities when they needed you most.
You took your money and you took your life and you took everything to the suburbs and you left those who couldn't afford to go with nothing.
Well, it's time to get you or your money back.
That's exactly and is exactly what's in store, folks.
And here's Obama in 2007.
This is the Daily Caller video.
It's in Hampton, Virginia at Hampton University.
It's during a campaign event.
This is the race-baiting, fear-mongering, hate-mongering.
Here's Obama complaining about the suburbs.
We need additional federal public transportation dollars going to the highest need community.
We don't need to build more highways out in the suburbs if we have people in the cities right now who want to work but have no way to get into those jobs.
We've got to help connect them to the jobs that exist.
We should be investing in minority-owned businesses in our neighborhoods so people don't have to travel for miles away.
Hell with the suburbs.
That's back in August.
And here's Obama from 2007.
And there you hear resentment, anger.
Guy who's seeking revenge, frankly.
You know, when he's with his people, the unions, his full-fledged, ardent supporters, that's when the real Obama comes out.
That's when all of the guardrails go down.
And he's clearly got it in for everybody who fled the cities.
And he's going to make sure that you and the suburbs, you don't get anything that government goodies are going to provide for you.
It's all going to go to the people you left behind.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882, the email address, illrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Let's go back to 2007 and let's pit the victims of Hurricane Katrina against the victims of 9-11.
And let's do it on the basis of race.
And then let's tell a black audience that the people of New Orleans, they got the shaft only because they're black.
It's like during Katrina itself, there were actually people running around saying that Bush wanted, I mean, in the media, some Democrat would level the charge.
It'd be repeated in the media.
And Bush actually didn't care that FEMA didn't get there on time.
He didn't care that there wasn't enough assistance early on.
He wanted the population of New Orleans fleeing so that Republicans one day own the state.
He didn't mind that New Orleans residents, who happened to be black, had to flee to Houston.
That was fabulous because we still outnumber them in Texas.
This was all over the place.
There were people who leveled that charge in a serious political way.
But here's Obama again as a candidate for the Democrat nomination 2007.
This is in Hampton, Virginia.
When 9-11 happened in New York City, they waived the Stafford Act, said this is too serious a problem.
We can't expect New York City to rebuild on its own.
Forget that dollar you got to put in.
And that was the right thing to do.
When Hurricane Andrews struck in Florida, people said, look at this devastation.
We don't expect you to come up with your own money here.
Here's the money to rebuild.
We're not going to wait for you to scratch it together because you're part of the American family.
What's happening down in New Orleans?
Where's your dollar?
Where's your Stafford Act money?
Makes no sense.
Tells me the bullet hasn't been taken out.
Tells me that somehow the people down in New Orleans, they don't care about as much.
Yeah, clearly race baiting, clearly angry.
And I'm telling you, this is who he is to this day.
This is who he's going to become if he's re-elected.
This is who he is today.
He hadn't changed.
It's who he's been all his life.
It's how he was mentored.
He was how he was educated and raised.
He's no different than the most extreme guest on MSNBC.
He just has the ability to cover it up, to mask it.
You peel all that away.
This is who he is, always has been.
That's what I say has been the most frustrating to me: that it's so easy to spot.
It's so authentic.
It's so genuine.
And people either didn't want to believe it or weren't told and didn't know.
But there's all kinds of contradictions.
For example, in December 2007, Obama went on MSNBC.
He said, my mother was a Christian from Kansas, and I was raised by my mother.
I've always been a Christian.
But in June, this tape here, he said that it was Reverend Wright who introduced him to Christianity.
It was a Reverend Wright introduced him to Jesus Christ.
Reverend Wright's hero is Louis Farrakhan.
That's who Reverend Wright admires.
And Farrakhan claimed that Bush dynamited the levies.
After Hurricane Katrina went through there, Farrakhan's all over the place.
Bush dynamited the levy.
Is the media making fun of it?
No.
They're throwing it out there as a possibility.
Not as a possibility, but that they reported that as.
And several people in the black community have actually been convinced that without poo-pooing it, legitimize these claims.
We're all sitting here in undisguised incredulity.
And we're wondering how in the hell can anybody believe this no matter what the propaganda.
But such is the rage and such is the hatred that's been mongered, if you will.
Can't have one without the other.
And here is, let's see, this is Obama.
And this speaks for itself.
Just listen to this.
There are people who are homeless, veterans struggling from pro-traumatic stress disorder from this war in Iraq.
Thousands of children aging out of foster care.
We can't expect them to have all the skills they need to work.
They may need help with basic skills, how to show up to work on time.
How to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office.
We have to help them get there.
Oh, my God.
You realize what must you think of people?
What kind of contempt must you have for people if that's how you see them?
I know veterans, homeless, don't even know how to dress, don't know how to show up.
We need the government to teach people that.
We need the government to teach people basic skills, show up to work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office.
So those people have a built-in excuse.
They're victims of something.
What are they victims of?
An unfair racist country that either discriminated against them because of their race or sent them off to an unjust war and they came back stressed out.
Don't we have schools?
Don't we have parents?
Obama says that these people can't even dress themselves.
And it's the government's job.
And let's not forget, let's go back last Wednesday in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Number 14.
Play number 14.
I don't believe we can get very far with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims who never take responsibility for their own lives.
And I've got to tell you, as I travel around Ohio and as I look out on this crowd, I don't see a lot of victims.
I see hardworking Ohioans.
Now, which is it?
That's what I see.
Which is it?
You've got a whole country filled of people that don't know how to dress themselves and don't know how to behave in an office.
Or he doesn't see anybody as victims.
I want to play them back to back again.
Soundbites 13 and 14, a grand total here of 44 seconds.
The first 23 seconds are from 2007.
Here we go.
There are people who are homeless, veterans struggling from pro-traumatic stress disorder from this war in Iraq.
Thousands of children aging out of foster care.
We can't expect them to have all the skills they need to work.
They may need help with basic skills, how to show up to work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office.
We have to help them get there.
I don't believe we can get very far with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims who never take responsibility for their own lives.
And I've got to tell you, as I travel around Ohio and as I look out on this crowd, I don't see a lot of victims.
I see hardworking Ohioans.
That's what I see.
I just don't see anybody here who can tell the truth.
You boil it all down.
I just don't have anybody here who can tell the truth.
I just find all this disgusting and representative.
If we're talking about dog catcher, we're talking about the office of President of the United States here.
How far to me we seem to have descended when this is acceptable.
We obviously have somebody who is who he is who's allowed to cover that up, present himself as something totally distant from who he really is.
And everybody involved knows.
Everybody involved in a cover-up knows who Obama is.
This may be, you know, about to cover up a Watergate.
The cover-up of the real Barack Obama has been profound.
It's been going on now for five or six years.
In fact, if you want to take it back to his big speech in 2004, you can take it back that far.
But the biggest cover-up in American politics is who Obama really is.
So the value of this tape is: there he is.
That's who he really is.
And we've played other tapes when he's talking to his union buddies and telling them, hang with me here.
It's going to take maybe 10 years for national health care, but we're going to have to run the private insurance industry out of business first.
And we've got to give people no choice but the government.
We can't just force it on them, he told them.
They won't put up with that.
They might revolt.
But if we take the choice away from them and leave the government's the only place, then that's how we're going to do it.
But that may take 10 years.
He told that to the SEIU also, I think, in 2007.
You go to his favorite grief.
I know who he really is.
All it takes is courage to admit it.
Here's the shout-out to Reverend Wright, 2007, at Hampton, Virginia.
This is a campaign event, again, at Hampton University.
I've got to give a special shout-out to my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me.
He's a friend and a great leader.
Please, everybody, give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor, Dr. Jeremiah Wright Jr. President of the United States.
Where's he at?
That's him.
That's him right there.
You're wearing a suit today, right?
That's right.
Now, Rev, now, just a couple months, I'm going to be throwing you under the bus.
I'll be making a speech in a Philadelphia on race.
I'm going to throw you under the bus.
I'm going to act like I don't know you.
I'm going to act like you're some wacko.
I never heard what you said for 20 years.
You understand the drill.
I got to say it.
I'm running for president.
I can't be who I really am.
And I'm going to throw my grandmother under the bus too.
She's white, so be nonpartisan.
But, Rev, you're wearing a suit today.
God, my buddy, my mentor, guy made me everything I'm Reverend Wright.
When we come back in the break, who is this guy, Wright, that he loves the war?
We're going to go back to the archives for what it's worth and revisit those glorious Reverend Wright years.
So I just checked the email and it's some understandable questions.
Rush, what does all this matter?
Nothing.
If it doesn't matter to you who the president of the United States is, I mean, throw out, maybe it doesn't bother you that Obama lies, because you think all politicians do.
And maybe it doesn't bother you that Obama would have to engage in a bit of cover up, hide some of his stuff in the past.
We've all got stuff in our past that we don't want to find.
But doesn't it matter to you who the president is outside of the lying of the morality?
Does it matter what he believes to you?
Doesn't that matter?
We're not playing this stuff to illustrate the fact that he lies.
This is all an attempt to tell people who their president really is.
He's the first president in history.
It has not been vetted.
The first president in history that there was no investigative journalism done on.
In fact, it was covered up.
So here we're going to do it again.
Here's Obama in 2007 shouting out to buddy Reverend Wright.
Where are you, Rev?
Hey, Rev, you're wearing a suit today.
You didn't build that.
He didn't build that church, Rev. That church would have been nothing if I hadn't gone.
Okay, so he's shouting out to Reverend Wright.
This is a year before any of the Reverend Wright tapes came out, the year before.
So there's no reason for Obama to cover him up or to hide him or he's fully capable here of illustrating his bosom buddy status with Reverend Wright.
All right, well, then is it important to know who the guy is?
Who Reverend Wright is?
What does he admire?
What's so here?
Here's Obama in 2007, and we're going to back it up, bang, bang, with Reverend Wright and a montage of his greatest hits between the years 2000 and 2007.
I've got to give a special shout out to my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me.
He's a friend and a great leader.
Please, everybody, give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor, Dr. Jeremiah Wright Jr. President of the United Church of Christ.
Where's he at?
There he is.
That's him.
That's him right there.
You're wearing a suit today, right?
The Rock knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people.
Hillary ain't never been called that.
Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky.
He was riding dirty in white America, US of KKKA.
Black men turning on black men.
I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it.
Not God bless America.
God America that's in the Bible for killing innocent people.
God America.
And now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards.
America's chickens are coming home to roost.
Wow, that's where's my buddy Reverend Wright.
Oh my pastor.
An extraordinary welcome, my pastor.
The guy that puts up with me, that counsels me, that listens to my wife complain about me.
There he is.
Stand up, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Now, what does Jeremiah Wright believe?
Jeremiah Wright believes that we deserve to be hit on 9-11.
We deserved it because we do similar things around the world.
And now we are indignant because the stuff we've done overseas is now brought right back into our own front doors.
Well, folks, all this means is Reverend Wright doesn't like this country.
He thinks this country is unjust and immoral, founded in an unjust, immoral way.
He thinks this country is guilty.
He believes that this country has wreaked havoc, that we have murdered innocent people, that we have stolen their stuff.
Here's Barack Obama, who thinks Reverend Wright is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Now, that has always mattered to me.
That is this little connection here, maybe exhibit A in how I know who the real Obama is.
Why would I not believe what I just heard?
Why would I want to tune in and say, it doesn't matter?
This isn't just politics.
So we've been subjected to a cover-up here.
The biggest cover-up in American political history.
And that cover-up is the real Barack Obama.
There has been an all-out concerted effort to prevent people from finding who he is or finding out who he is.
It's been a primary objective of people.
And that's why this recent release has some value.
Even though you've heard it similar things to it before, still has some value.
We've got to take a timeout here.
Another holy prophet timeout.
We'll be back and continue after this.
So Barack Obama spending hundreds of millions of dollars on commercials trying to convince people he's a man of the middle class, that Barack Obama represents everybody.
He represents 100% of the people.
That it's Mitt Romney who lives in a small, cloistered world.
It's Romney writing off half the country.
No, it's Obama who does not come anywhere near representing 100% of the country.
We all knew it.
