Time Text
That's right.
Okay.
All right.
Come on.
It's Friday.
Let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
I knew it.
I knew it.
They're just doing a little deal on Fox.
They got their polling guy out there saying, you know what it was?
Oh, I try to contain myself here, Folk, trying to contain myself.
I'm right a lot.
It's no big deal.
Most times, this one's big.
One hour ago, I said the way a lot of people are going to watch that debate last night is a young son embarrassed of his bloated, overbearing father who's wrong about everything.
And his son trying to tell his father the world has changed.
And Fox is doing a story right now saying that there's polling information.
A lot of 20 and 30-year-olds saw this thing entirely different than people our age, their parents' age and so forth.
In addition to Biden being disrespectful and so forth, you have to throw in there that Ryan was respectful.
It was a two-way street.
Some of you may not be happy about that, but nevertheless, Ryan was respectful.
And it's interesting take.
Now, I don't know what they're saying now because my program started, but I heard enough at the top of the hour.
I threw that out there.
I threw it out an hour ago as a possible interpretation of this.
Anyway, great to have you here.
Open line Friday, 800-282-2882.
When we get to the phones, looks like, in terms of TV ratings, Biden had them running for the exits early.
The numbers in the presidential debate, about 70 million people watched the presidential debate.
Right now, before we get the cable numbers, we've just got the network numbers.
The network numbers have it at about 30, with CBS being number one at 10.5 million, ABC, NBC, then Fox at 5.3, Fox Network, not cable.
If you add those up, you get about 20.
The vice presidential debate 2008, 69 million with Palin and Bite Me.
So if the numbers are down, it's another thing.
Biden sent them running away.
They went to watch playoff baseball.
They went to watch the Steelers.
They tuned out to watch something.
Who wants to sit there and watch that?
Your economic situation is in the toilet.
Who wants to watch some old doddering old mean guy laugh at you or laugh during a discussion of that?
You know, Biden forgets there are real people in this country who have been profoundly damaged by the economics of this country right now.
Now, whether they blame Obama for it, doesn't matter.
A discussion of it comes up last night.
People who watch this stuff take the election of a president seriously.
We've got a bad economy.
We've got an incumbent sitting there and a young challenger.
And the incumbent, the guy who's going to start laughing in the middle of a discussion about this.
These people are worried about their taxes, their social security, what the hell they're going to have to pay to get us out of this debt.
And you've got old man Biden there laughing about it.
And then he starts laughing in a discussion about security and dead ambassadors.
He's laughing about practically everything for the first half hour.
I'll bet you a bunch of young people did see an overbearing father that they think doesn't get it.
I'll bet you.
Wouldn't be surprised.
More polling data.
Survey from ARG.
Romney now 49 to 46 in Florida and a 50 to 46 lead in New Hampshire.
Suffolk University polling says Florida's over.
New Hampshire, Romney, 50%.
Yep.
New Hampshire, Romney, 50 to 46.
I know they have.
I know they've been saying Romney loses it.
The bottom line is Obama's sitting there right now with a lock on seven to nine states.
That's it.
The toss-ups at the real clear pot of toss-ups are Florida, that's Romney.
North Carolina, that's Romney.
Virginia, that's Romney.
Wisconsin, that's trending Romney.
Pennsylvania, people actually live in Pennsylvania, think Romney's going to win this thing.
Some don't, some do.
Missouri, probably going to be Romney.
Still a toss-up.
I don't want to say too much right now because it's still a long way to go.
It's still a long way to go.
It could be a blowout.
I didn't say that.
You didn't hear me say it.
No, I said it could be a blowout.
I didn't say it.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, Obama started a war in Libya.
This idea that Jay Carney just said, we had the soundbite last hour, the press briefing.
Well, I'm not saying the administration, Biden wasn't saying that the administration writ large didn't know that there'd been a request for security.
It's just that the president and vice president of the White House didn't know, as though that's going to make it all okay.
Who is the administration?
If the White House and Vice President, the president don't know, and that's some sort of legit excuse.
One more time, we did not need new intelligence in order to know that Libya is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for Americans.
And furthermore, that within Libya, Benghazi is the most dangerous spot in that country for Americans.
I tell you, folks, it is utterly irresponsible to have an embassy there right now.
We don't have an embassy in Iran.
It's too dangerous.
By the way, that's another thing.
God damn it.
Why did I remember this?
They don't have a missile.
Paulie, you can sit there.
Hell, Barack talked to Bibi.
I was in the room.
It was a conference call.
He spoke for an hour to get, hell, Barack talks to Bibi all the time.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's a bunch of stuff.
Radis says, what do you mean a bunch of stuff?
Well, all these guys don't know what they're talking about.
Hell, the Iranians aren't getting anywhere near this nuclear weapon.
We got tight sanctions.
We don't have tight sanctions.
Folks, God, I wish I hadn't gotten started.
We don't have any sanctions of any teeth going on.
There's something going on that nobody knows about in Iran.
We're wrecking their currency.
We are.
We are wrecking the Iranian currency.
It got started long before Obama was emaculated.
Obama's so-called sanctions have nothing to do with what's going on with the internal deterioration of things happening in Iran.
But the bottom line is, old Joey kept saying, well, I don't have a weapon.
Hey got some fissile material.
Yeah, but they're going to have it next spring, you idiot.
They don't have a missile.
I'm telling you, they don't have a weapon.
Now, Ryan had an opening, didn't use it, but, hey, Joey, you don't need a missile.
All you need is a suitcase.
All you need is a guy who tried to get into Times Square last year that you guys thought was somebody mad over Obamacare.
It turned out to be an al-Qaeda terrorist.
You don't need a missile, Joey.
So we're supposed to believe after listening to Biden last night that Iran's not a threat because they might have uranium and fissile material, but they don't have a bomb.
They don't need a bomb.
All you need is a bunch of guys willing to commit suicide with some backpacks is all the hell they need.
And they've got plenty of them.
So anyway, so I keep reminding me of these things.
Can you tell, you would not have wanted to be in the room with me last night.
Catherine had to rip me off ceiling.
And I have a 20-foot ceiling in the room we were watching this debate in.
Anyway, we don't even have an embassy in Iran.
It's too dangerous.
Benghazi, we don't have a reason for a consulate there or an embassy.
It's too dangerous.
It's too soon after Obama's war there.
And if you're going to have one, though, if you're going to open up a consulate, if you're going to open up an embassy, it has to be protected by well-resourced American armed forces, period, not contracted-out same-sex bodyguards.
Local.
What kind of maneuver was that?
Oh, I told you yesterday, I had a job application, had a bodyguard for the ambassador.
And one of the things that was okay to be in the job application was in a same-sex marriage.
Now, why in hell does that matter?
I don't care.
It doesn't need to be a Hillary Clinton.
It could be a Barack.
It's a liberal initiative.
It's what liberals do.
It's what they think is important.
So here we are in Libya.
Here we are in Benghazi.
We're putting together a consulate we have no business putting together.
We're going to put an ambassador in there who's going to be at great risk in a place where we are hated because we just took Gaddafi out of there.
We have no business building an embassy.
We're going to do it anyway.
And for protection, we run an ad in a local newspaper asking for local bodyguards.
And by the way, it's okay if you're in the same sector.
Why put that in there?
Because they're liberals and they think that will show how open-minded we are versus how cowboy clothes-minded people like Bush and Cheney were.
It is insane.
That's supposed to buy us goodwill.
You put a you.
Do they not remember Mahmoud Ahmedi Nizad at Columbia when he found out that there was a gay person in Tehran he wanted to know where and who it was?
Is that we don't have those people in Iran?
And the audience started crowding, started laughing, the college kids at Columbia.
And Mahmoud said, who?
Who is you?
Tell me, where are, where is he?
Where are they?
And they would have sent their, their addition to secret police out there to find him.
What the hell are we doing?
An ad for two bodyguards for our ambassador?
And, by the way, it's fine if you're in a same-sex relationship or marriage.
What the UN'S gonna love us for that?
That's gonna buy us some peace.
That's what I mean.
These people are academic theoreticians.
Real world is a total mystery to them, but they think they got it all understood.
They sit there in the faculty lounge their whole lives.
Sit there sip port smoking whatever, theorizing all this wonderful stuff.
If only they were in charge.
Well, now they are and look, everything is falling apart.
American foreign policy is disintegrating in front of our face as the American economy has been doing for four years.
We launch an unprovoked war, take Gaddafi out.
In the process, Obama ensures these anti-American forces are going to become more powerful in Benghazi.
So, in order to pretend that his Libya policy is a triumph of democracy rather than an empowerment of the Islamists, it was his policy to treat Libya as though it were Britain.
Now, we're going to have an embassy.
We're not going to have any armed guards in our, we don't need to.
Why, I just brought democracy to Egypt, the Arab Spring.
I just brought democracy to Libya.
I just got rid of their evil leader, Qaddafi, that everybody hated, which they didn't.
Everybody hated Qaddafi over there.
We're dealing with a genuine nephi.
We've elected the student body president of East Cameron Junior High School to be president.
No offense to East Cameron.
I don't even know if there is one.
I just made that up.
I got to take a break.
We'll be back.
So if, let's take them at their word for some Joey and Barack did not know that there was a request for security.
A request for additional security in Benghazi after all this.
Or even before it, before the attack on the ambassador, requests for more security.
They didn't know.
Does that mean Hillary isn't talking to him?
Does that mean Mrs. Clinton is not talking to Obama?
She runs the State Department.
That's where the requests run through.
She's not talking to anybody.
And who says the Iranians don't have a missile?
I got a picture of one right here.
I have friends in the military.
They have pictures of things.
There's a picture.
Aren't the Iranians test-firing missiles over there?
I don't know where they're ending up.
Who says they don't have a missile?
Joey?
Who's telling him?
The same intel that got it all wrong on it was not a video, it was a terror attack.
A bunch of boobs.
This is just, we deserve so much better than this as a country.
We just deserve better than this.
Okay, to the phones, L.A. Dan, great to have you on the EIB.
Dan, are you anywhere near the 12-mile route that they're moving the shuttle today and tomorrow?
No, I'm not.
I've looked at the L.A. Times video.
It's an amazing feat.
Two days to move this shuttle 12 miles.
Yeah, I think they cut down 300 trees to do it.
300 trees.
They've taken down street lights.
They have reinforced the roads with steel plates.
It's amazing.
They got this.
Right.
I didn't mean to distract you with that.
I just thought maybe you'd seen it.
What's up?
Well, my question is how much people were lost on Joe Biden.
My girlfriend, who's an independent who voted for Clinton, she's watching that.
She doesn't follow politics a whole lot.
She's in her 50s.
As soon as he started saying the whole thing about my friend, my friend, I tell you, she was about to hit the ceiling with that.
You mean when she was calling Ryan, or he was calling Ryan his friend?
Yeah, when Biden kept doing that over and over and over, she got so irritated she couldn't watch the rest of the debate.
Why?
Because she thought it was condescending or that Brian really hidden his friend and he's lying about it?
The condensation, yeah, the condescent and the kind of used car salesman it had to it.
Yeah.
Well, I've got polling data, flash polling data that indicates your girlfriend's not alone.
CNN internal numbers, other flash posts.
Women were especially put off by Joey last night.
I couldn't agree with you more.
She actually had a friend of hers call, and she said the same thing with that my friend crap.
And remember now, it was guys like Ryan are conducting the war on women, right?
That's not what they want us to do.
Paul Ryan there.
He's involved in the war on women, and you've got Biden behaving the way he behaved.
Right.
I think he was.
It was a turnoff to independents, a turnoff to a turnoff to women.
And he called Ryan his friend 14 times.
And we know that Ryan's not his friend.
We know he hates Ryan.
I couldn't agree with you more.
And she also thought, you know, that Joe's kind of this Uncle Joe thing, you know, he's a nice guy and everything.
I think that bubble was burst last night.
I do too.
I do.
I couldn't be happier to hear you say that.
Even though this is just an anecdotal story.
It's not scientific.
It's just one guy's girlfriend.
But folks, there's more of that out there.
Biden blew up a lot of bubbles last night.
I'm telling you, that's what opened the program.
For those of you, I tell you what, I want you to do.
Dan, are you still there, Dan, by the way?
Yeah.
You have a good relationship with a girlfriend?
Oh, yeah.
Can you be honest with her?
I want you to try something with her.
I don't know how you said she's not day-to-day immersed in politics.
No.
And she's an independent.
Right.
Now, we're told the independents don't like this kind of behavior of confrontation, arguing, disrespecting.
They just want people to work together and all that.
Would you say your girlfriend's like that?
I couldn't agree with you more.
That irritated her beyond belief.
Then I need you to do something for me.
I'm deadly serious.
The next time you talk to her about this, whenever the opportunity is, don't tell her I said this to you.
I want you to offer as your own opinion.
Maybe ask her if she's ever.
No, don't.
My point is, what Biden was last night is the Democrat Party.
That's who they are.
And it would really help if women like your girlfriend understood that that was not an exception to the rule last night.
You take the gloves off and you put them in what they think is a safe environment where they can't lose.
That's who they are.
I would love for your girlfriend and other women to realize that's the Democrat Party today.
It's not just Joe Biden.
I agree.
I think it exposed a lot because her friend is in her 40s and she said the same thing.
You know, this whole thing about Joe being a nice guy, the Democratic Party, you know, for women and everything.
And I think that ruined a lot of it.
Were you guys still watching when Biden was talking about getting out of Afghanistan in 2014?
And I'm going to turn things over to Taliban.
We're our friends.
We're working with our security forces in Afghanistan.
They've got to stand up for themselves.
We're getting out of there.
I was still watching it, but she got so pissed off she couldn't watch it anymore.
Good.
Happy.
That just confirms my instincts.
So I appreciate the call.
Thanks, Mike.
Now, you tell her.
You tell her when it's safe, you know, when it's you don't want it to be provocative.
Just say, honey, that's the Democrat Party.
That's just who they are.
Just see what she says.
Lyle in Edwardsville, Illinois.
I'm glad you waited.
Open Line Friday.
You're up hot.
Rush, thanks for taking my call.
I wanted to take a moment of your time to tell you that your show on Wednesday was fantastic, especially the first hour.
And to think I almost missed it.
On Wednesday, my local radio station, KMOX in St. Louis, preempted your show to broadcast other news activities happening in the nation's capital, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Washington Nationals postseason game.
If it wasn't for me being a Rush 24-7 member, I would have missed that great message on Wednesday.
Well, I really appreciate that.
And I want everybody to know this is the first time I have ever talked to Lyle in Edwardsville, Illinois, and Snardley doesn't know him.
And Lyle, you were not paid, right?
I mean, this is coming from the bottom of your heart and the top of your brain.
That's right.
Exactly.
I really appreciate it.
Really appreciate it.
What did we do on Wednesday?
It was so hot.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh executing his night host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
Old Joey last night in debate told another whopper.
Yes, the vice president of the United States, talking to Paul Ryan, he said, by the way, they talk about this great recession like it fell out of the sky.
Like, oh, my goodness, like, where did it come from?
And he looked over at Ryan.
He said, it came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card at the same time.
Put a prescription drug plan on a credit card, trillion-dollar tax cut for the very wealthy.
I was there.
Old Joey was there.
I was there.
And I voted against him.
I said, no, we can't afford it.
The problem is, old Joey voted for both wars.
Old Joey voted for the Afghanistan resolution, September 14, 2001, authorizing the use of force.
You people have forgotten that, but I haven't.
The Democrats first fought Bush on the authorization of the use of force after the original 9-11.
Then they found out that the country didn't hate Bush like they did after Florida 2000.
They found out the vast majority of American people wanted to go kick butt somewhere.
So the Democrats did a 180 and demanded a new vote.
And Bush, nice guy that he is, okay, I don't mind.
He said the congressional leaders that they want another vote.
Let's send him to the vote.
And they got to change their vote so it looked like they, too, were in favor of the use of force.
And that's where old Joey came out in favor of the war.
To listen to a guy like Biden accuse other people of running up debt, to sit there and say, by the way, they talk about this great recession like it fell out of the sky.
Where did it come from?
That's another one.
I'm on the ceiling.
I'm on the ceiling.
I'm shouting at Ryan.
I said, just point at him.
All you have to say, Paul, just point at him.
He and old Barack did it.
They own it.
I don't know what the Ryan strategy was.
Well, I'm pretty confident that I do, actually.
I think it was be respectful of a lunatic and hope create an atmosphere where the lunatic thinks he's winning everything.
It's just going to make him freer and less inhibited to be who he really is.
And old Joey played right along with that and came off very poorly in the eyes of practically everybody who watched, except for the vampire bloodsuckers that make up the Democrat base.
The vampire bloodsuckers, the Democrat base, they're out there watching the Twilight Saga movies today in celebration.
They're hoping that R. Pats and K-Stew get back together forever.
Blood, blood, blood, suck it, suck it, suck it.
All of Ryan's, all of Romney's.
Way to go, Joey.
I know pop culture.
How could you miss the fact that R. Pats and K-Stew split up?
It was devastating.
I don't know how the country made it through those three weeks, or maybe four.
They finally put it back together.
Everything's cool now.
Can be promoting the next Twilight Saga movie.
Democrat Underground and Daily Cause people be there, got their advanced tickets.
Go suck blood from the debate last night and go get some more during the Twilight Saga movies.
Those are the only people that liked it.
Those are the only people that thought Biden was cool.
Everybody else, including a Democrat elite establishment, is embarrassed.
And you know how I knew that was going to be the case when Joe Trippy, right after the debate on Fox, when Bret Bear, they had Trippy and Steve Hayes there.
Catherine looked at me and said, this is going to be quite telling.
And it was, because Trippy was very embarrassed.
I thought Joe was condescending.
I thought he was.
Because in the truth, the truth of things is that it's Paul Ryan who's the nice guy.
It's Paul Ryan who wouldn't harm a flea.
It's Paul Ryan who is the genuine, nicest guy on the face of the earth.
And all this pre-debate hubbub and buzz about old Joey, and we just got, you heard Obama.
We're just going to let Joe be Joe.
He was.
And there's your Democrat Party.
Joe Biden, nice guy.
Yeah, talk to Ed Meese about that.
Talk to Donald Rumsfeld about that.
Talk to Dick Cheney about that.
Talk to Robert Bork about that.
Go ask Clarence Thomas about what a nice guy old Joey is.
It's just one of the additional popular myths that's popped up and attached itself to these Democrat leaders.
But it's Paul Ryan who's the genuine, nice, substantive, really cares guy who was taking it all seriously last night.
And have you heard anybody say that Ryan lied?
Have you heard anybody say Ryan got anything wrong?
No, you haven't.
What are they talking about today?
Talking about Biden and his boorish behavior and the lies that he told.
And if they weren't lies, if Hillary didn't tell him that there had been additional security requests, who the hell is she telling?
And Barack didn't know, but why don't they know anyway?
Look, I've beat that horse.
I don't need to go any further.
Let's go back to the phones.
Charlie, San Diego, great to have you on the EIB network, Charlie.
Hello.
Well, good morning, sir, and it's a real pleasure to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
You know, I have to tell you that in the last year, I have basically separated from a lot of my family who is very, very liberal, Southern Democrats and West Coast liberals, because that's where I'm from.
And that's where my dad was.
And I was raised that way.
What do you mean separated from?
What do you mean separated from them?
You mean distance-wise, you've actually left them, or you just mean ideal-wise?
Ideal-wise.
I've realized through being introduced to your show and doing a lot more rating on the internet instead of simply drinking the Kool-Aid that my values really do more reflect the conservative base.
And that when I talk about, you know, how I'm more in line with it, how I don't think government should be holding everybody's hand.
I think that the people who work hard and are successful for themselves really do make a difference in the country.
I get the same treatment that Ryan got last night during the debate.
And that debate pissed me off to no end because he humiliated Ryan.
See, this is the humiliate Ryan.
Here's the thing.
This is exactly.
I'm telling you, folks, this guy's proving it.
The Joe Biden last night is who we see when we run into Democrats in bars or restaurants.
That's who this party has become.
It's in my own family.
It really is.
You know, and what's worse about it is I look at the pattern of behavior of people when I do debate them.
When they don't have a valid point, they do just try to steamroll you with these same numbers that are fabricated that they're regurgitating that they've heard from the media.
It's not even that.
They start to treat you in a condescending way, and they start insulting your intelligence and they treat you like you don't know what you're talking about or that you're a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe.
They will not discuss the issues with you.
They won't get anywhere near because they can't.
None of what they believe works.
Well, and here's the most frustrating thing, Rush, is I'm a new dad.
You know, I'm 38 years old.
I work between 12 and 16 hours a day to make sure that I can do the right thing for my family, which is to have my wife raise my child, not somebody else.
And my family is so against it.
They think that she should work.
You put the kid in daycare, and that's just how everything is going to get done.
And when you need a little help, the government will have to business is it of theirs exactly.
And it's no business of the governments to take care of me or my family.
Do you tell members of your family how to raise their kids and how to live their lives?
Who the hell are they?
What gets?
I don't mean, look at, I know, if I start ripping your family, you're going to get mad at me.
It's okay for you to outside, but I'm telling you, what business is it of any of these people to tell you how your wife must live?
Well, it's because it's not their way of thinking.
I really want to have a traditional home.
That's my point.
They're not content to think and live their own lives.
They have to make everybody else comport to the way they live.
If they don't smoke, you're not going to smoke.
If they don't eat trans fat, you're not going to eat trans fat.
If their wives work, yours is going to work.
They're not content to let you have your liberty and freedom unless you do and live the way they say.
That's the Democrat Party.
That was old Joey.
Well, and they really do believe, too, that the government is a source of success instead of me busting my butt for so many hours a day and putting in the work that I know every successful person out there has done and following in those footsteps.
They want me to do it their way.
And let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you: do your members of your family that you're talking to, you just told me they think government is the source of success, you said?
I really do agree with Obama on that.
Okay, well, then ask, I need to know: do your people we're talking about in your family, they have jobs?
Union, almost all of them, whether it's police or contractors, electricians.
Did you say carjackers?
No, contractors.
Contractors.
Contractors.
Yeah.
No, there was a union for carjacking, but I wouldn't have been surprised.
Look, here's what I want you to do: I want you to do what the communists used to do to disprove God.
The communists in grade school or whatever, in the old Soviet Union, to disprove God, they'd have two plants or two flowers, one in one pot, one on the other.
And they'd say, We're going to take care of this flower.
We're going to water it.
We're going to nurture it.
And then we're going to leave the other one to God.
Well, the other one left to God would die.
They would prove to the kids, see, there's no God.
Now, I want you to try something if you feel up to it someday.
I want you to go to these members of your family who believe that government's the source of everything and say, okay, why don't you quit working?
Well, what do you mean?
Well, government will take care of you.
Government's the source of your success.
Why don't you quit working?
They'll take care of you.
Isn't that what you mean?
And he'll say, oh, no, no, no.
You're going to go out and work.
Well, no, no, you said you don't have to work.
Government will take care of you.
And what it'll come down to is that the government is helping them because they're associated with unions and ain't the government's giving them breaks or advantages or whatever.
At which point you say, you can't do it with a level playing field.
You've got to have a government on your side and against others.
And that's what you call the government being the source of success.
But if you really think the government is the source of success, quit your job.
Turn your life over to Obama.
I want to see how that works.
I dare you to do that.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Okay, folks, here we have proof that even the drive-by media realizes that Joey was a debacle from the administration press, the AP attention shifts back to Obama and Romney after running, mates.
Spirited debate.
That's the headline of the latest AP story.
You know what that means?
That means that old Joey didn't bring it off.
That means the focus on the debate last night is on the negatives of old Joey.
And so the AP, the administration press, is moving on.
How about last night, Martha Radditz tried to help old Joey and the Democrats with this war on women by going toward the discussion of abortion toward the end of the debate.
Knew immediately what this was.
This is old Joey being teed up here for the war on women theme.
And you hear old Joey was asked about abortion.
I'm a Catholic.
It informs my life.
That's everything, man.
My faith is everything.
I mean, there's nothing.
My dad used to, Joey, that guy hits you in the nose.
You get up and say the Pope doesn't like Joey being hit in the nose.
And you hit him in the mouth, Joey.
You get up and you don't take that stuff, Joey.
My faith informs me.
When it comes to abortion, Martha, I believe in life.
Life everywhere.
The more life, the better.
Martha, I'm not going to impose.
I'm not going to impose my view on God-loving Muslims, the Islamists, the Christians, Coptic Christians.
Even the guy that made the video, Martha, I'm not going to impose my life, Martha.
I'm into life like you can't believe.
I've talked to Pope about it.
Something to Pope and I had a conference call, Brock and me to Pope.
V.B. Nething I was waiting in the wings.
You know, BB's not a Catholic.
My dad told me that.
But I love life, Martha.
It's the old Mario Cuomo technique.
The answer to it is, oh, Joey, you don't want to impose your views on human life, but you will impose Obamacare on everybody.
And you will impose your tax policy on everybody.
And you will impose IRS agents to collect fines on everybody.
But you won't impose the most important thing in your life, Joey, on people.
Joey, when did life become an imposition, pal?
Huh, when did that happen?
When'd your dad tell you about that?
Joey, life is imposition.
Man, that must have been tough.
Where did you grow up wheeling?
Scranton?
Both those places.
Yeah, whatever works.
God, you were good last night, Joey.
You know how good you are?
Oh, they were dead.
You realize how happy they were.
They love you, man.
They love you.
It just dude, the AP has already moved on, man.
It's already talking about Obama and Romney next week.
Stand up, Joey.
Let them see you, Joey.
Stand up.
Stand up, Chuck.
Stand up.
Love you.
Oh, God, Lord.
Chuck's in a wheelchair.
Oh, geez.
God bless Chuck.
Oh man, I'm into life, Martha.
God, do I love life?
I'm not going to impose on anybody, though.
God, no way.
Not here, old Joey.
No, uh-uh.
Look at that twerp sitting next to a little twerp.
Let me know what he's talking about.
A bunch of stuff, Martha.
Good God.
It's all I could do to laugh.
You realize what a bunch of fake laughter that was.
I didn't feel like laughing.
All these guys don't know what they're talking about, ruining this country where the recession came from.
I love life, Martha.
More than anything, it's what makes me who I am.
It's what informs me.
I'm going to impose myself on anybody, though, to hell with that.
And here's Paul Ryan on that subject from the debate last night.
I don't see how a person can separate their public life from their private life or from their faith.
Our faith informs us in everything we do.
I think about 10 and a half years ago, my wife Jana and I went to Mercy Hospital in Janesville where I was born for our seven-week ultrasound for our firstborn child.
And we saw that heartbeat.
Our little baby was in the shape of a bean.
And to this day, we have nicknamed our firstborn child, Liza, Bean.
Now, I believe that life begins at conception.
That's why, those are the reasons why I'm pro-life.
Yeah, well, I love life too, but I'm not so stupid, so naive.
Think a kid named Bean's going to impress anybody.
Think they're kidding.
These idiots, huh?
Yeah, hey, Joey.
You know, you and Barack, you saved Obama.
How about you pay us our $25 billion back, Joey?
How about you give those non-union workers their pensions back, Joey, that you're taking away from them in healthcare and everything else, Joey?
You screwed a whole lot of middle-class people, Joey, with Obamacare and your economic collapse.
When are you going to give back what you've taken to middle-class, Joey?
You got to take a brief time out here at the top of the hour, El Rushball, in the middle, well, two-thirds of the way through Open Line Friday, and we got much more straight ahead.
