Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 Podcast.
Happy New Year, everybody.
Happy 2013, the first Rush Limbaugh show of the year.
We are saved.
Did you not know it?
We are saved.
Taxes are going up on the 2%.
There's no more deficit.
There's jobs for everybody, all the unemployed.
Free health care for everybody.
We are a utopia.
And I'm just saying that because I swore to myself, I crossed my heart, ladies and gentlemen, that I wanted to have an upbeat show today.
It's very hard to do it.
It is America's guest host, Doug Arbianski filling in for the Doctor of Democracy, Rush Limbaugh.
You have 24 hours to wait before you have his take on all of this.
He will be back in 24 hours.
And like you, I will be sitting by the radio waiting to hear what he has to say.
Because I all weekend, ladies and gentlemen, as we were leading up to the conversation about the so-called physical cliff.
And on Christmas Eve, I explained to you why I hated those words.
I will explain it again today as the show unfolds.
I've been watching the news closely all weekend, knowing that I was going to be here today with a lot of questions, a lot of questions going on in my mind.
There's no possibility that anyone who has any common sense can make sense of what is clearly senseless, senseless by design.
It is all deliberately confusing.
Gotta tell you something.
H.R. We were uh watching the five on Fox, I think it was New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, and one of the guests on the five was Juan Williams, and they were going around the table asking, do you have good memories of New Year's Eve?
And they got to Juan Williams, who is the you know a liberal on the Fox News channel, and he said he didn't like New Year's Eve because he always felt that there was somebody else having a better time at a better party than he was.
This is why I'm telling you, the left are never if you want to hear the embodiment of where the left is at even today, there it is, revealed in all of its freedom, as somebody elsewhere is having a better time, has more than I have, is happier than I am, and we're gonna somehow correct this.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the idea of the physical cliff, if it just let's go back in history a little bit, just a tiny little bit.
The authors of the physical cliff, way back year and a half ago, were President Obama and John Boehner.
They created the whole idea, both both sides, thinking that they were setting up the other side for big problems in the upcoming 2012 November election.
Obama was thinking, aha, I will set the Republicans up by kicking this can down the road, because he had a rather desperate looking election year coming up at that point, with the economic numbers as bad as they are and still are.
And Boehner was thinking we don't want to be have our fingerprints on this until after the election.
Both of these characters are the authors of what we called the physical cliff.
Now, the physical cliff means that you have created a state of crisis, a slow boil crisis.
Incidentally, I get in trouble for saying this part too.
They ask you a very controversial question.
During the election cycle, how many times did candidate Romney ask President Obama about the physical cliff?
Because I don't remember it coming up once during the election cycle.
But I deviate from my main point.
My main point was this.
At some point, and it was around the time of 2010, the oil spill down in the Gulf of Mexico, that we heard um Rahm Emanuel use his famous phrase, never let a crisis go to waste.
And there's a second half to that sentence, as I've told you in the past.
The second half of that sentence is never let a crisis go to waste because you get to do things that you otherwise wouldn't be able to do.
Well, they figured out a third part to this, the Obama administration, or whoever his handlers are.
They figured out a third part, which is keep the country in perpetual crisis.
Keep the crisis going.
Perpetual crisis means that you can have opportunities to do things you otherwise wouldn't have the chance to do at all times.
At all times.
So where are we?
Where are we?
I'm sitting here all weekend and I'm trying to find out what is the status of, because I've got a, you know, I make the mistake of trying to be logical, trying to be intuitive about what's going on in Washington.
And you cannot be logical in the story.
It is counter, you cannot be logical because what they're doing is counterintuitive.
I'm asking myself, in this deal, which I doubt anyone has even read, which is, of course, how we do things in this country, in this deal, have they settled on a budget?
Have they approved of any operating budget?
Because you would think, if you're a logical-minded person, that in a big national conversation about taxes and spending, you would think that the topic of a budget would come up.
Wouldn't you?
I mean, it makes sense.
And they keep talking about more revenue for what purpose?
For what purpose?
Because it's somehow connected, you would think, to a budget.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is over 1,300 days since the Senate passed a budget resolution.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is over 1,300 days since they have passed a budget resolution.
This president can't get his own Senate, either by design or accident, to take up the question of a budget for this country.
And yet we're discussing taxes, debt ceilings, spending.
There is no budget in the settlement.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the other part of the perpetual crisis that mustn't be lost on you here, that must not be lost on you, is that there was this idea of a deadline.
Now, this deadline of the New Year's Eve physical cliff, I use the words because they're out there as part of the linguo.
They are out there, but I don't like the words.
But this physical cliff is something we have known about for a year or more.
You could say we've known about it for 10 years.
The idea that everybody is cramming at the last minute to do their jobs.
The way that when you're in college, you cram to study for the finals.
You cram to do that term paper, and you learn very quickly that cramming is it doesn't always work.
It's a wretched way of doing things.
You learn when you watch these people cramming at the last minute.
What you learn is that failure, failure in Washington, D.C. gets rewarded.
The more incompetent you are at your job, the higher you seem to rise, even to the office of president, apparently.
That's the United States political system right now.
Is that if you don't do your job, you will rise.
If any of these people conducted any of these people conduct themselves in the private sector, in the corporate sector, out in the real world, the way that they are conducting themselves in the running of this country, they wouldn't last.
The idea that we have these deadlines, this is an idea that has lost all of its meaning because every time there is a budget deal, it is just another um just another uh beginning of the story of kicking the can down the road, just another chapter that says, well, there's another fixed date or two or three, when it's time for another major critical action that's critically important to the nation to be taken.
We've got three of those as a result of this deal.
They've addressed nothing.
They've got the, and they certainly haven't addressed the idea of something bold, such as tax reform.
They have not addressed anything bold at all.
They're going to have to decide what to do about the sequester spending cuts.
That's gonna come up in February, and you're gonna hear all the same, oh, it's another cliff.
They'll have some other words if they don't reuse the physical cliff words, they'll have something they call it.
In March, in March, there's another crisis coming up.
They'll have to decide what to do about the federal borrowing limit.
This continual state of crisis by design goes on.
This continual state of crisis in which you cannot make sense because it is senseless, Because a logic you cannot apply logic to the story.
This sense of crisis and confusion and confusion, these things are so deliberately obtuse that you can't even follow them, even if you're a high information voter.
Even if you're a high information voter.
Speaking of uh low information voters for a moment, I get the sense.
I am having the sense out there in the world that there is a that there's a sort of I I fantasize about these things.
There's a sort of competition about who can be the overly qualified head of the low information voter movement.
And I'm I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, the person who seems to me to be so uniquely qualified, who would love the love the position, because the lowest information person out there seems to me to be Piers Morgan.
Have you seen these comments of his?
The comments where he says that the Constitution of the United States and the Holy Bible are inherently flawed documents.
This comes from Piers Morgan.
Obviously not a constitutional scholar, obviously not a uh a religious uh theologian or scholar.
Stated by a man, and now I love England.
I love the United Kingdom.
I've had much of my professional life there, I've won several British Academy Awards, as you know.
Ladies and gentlemen, he comes from a country that has no constitution and no guaranteed freedom of speech.
And in fact, you can't write a book about the royal family in that country.
I'm just mentioning it.
Yes, I think he would the then, of course, it dawned on him that he's not a citizen.
He's all upset.
You're aware of this petition.
We mentioned it on Christmas Eve, this petition to ask him to leave the country.
Well, he says, Well, if they want to deport me, if you don't change your laws, I may deport myself.
Oh, Piers, you're such a tease.
You're such a tease by suggesting you'll deport yourself.
Anyway, I think someone asked me earlier who the runner-up for that position position would be.
That would be um that would be Bob Costas.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are not saved.
Taxes are going up.
The Republicans, well, have they caved or haven't they caved?
I've got all the proof of that coming up here on today's Rush Limbaugh show.
There still is a huge deficit.
There are no jobs for all the two million unemployed.
There is no free health care, world-class health care available.
We have not become a utopia overnight.
We still need spending cuts, and yet we are told they've just solved everything by and yet we wake up to another crisis in another day or two.
The phone number here, ladies and gentlemen, is 1-800-282-2882.
It's Duggar Bansky filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh Show, ladies and gentlemen, where the phone number is 1-800-282-2882.
It is Duggar Basky filling in for the Doctor of Democracy, who will be back tomorrow.
You know, I'll tell you a little story.
When when my son was in about sixth grade, long time ago, I remember, as all boys do at some point, he got a detention, and he called me up very upset that he had been given detention.
The reason he was given I said, why do you get detention?
And he said, Well, um, there's a rule that you're not supposed to use your cell phone at school.
Um I said, okay.
And I said, Did you?
He said, Yeah.
I said, Well, what is the full rule?
He said, Well, you're not supposed to use your cell phone prior to 230.
And I said, Okay.
He said, But, Dad, it was 229 when I used it.
To which you say, what kind of you know, you've learned a big lesson now, my son.
I mean, how how how brilliant do you have to be to say, wait one more minute, because you know 2.30 is coming.
And you get in trouble if you if you break the rules.
Ladies and gentlemen, this so-called crisis is something that everyone has known about.
They've created it.
As the show unfolds today, and I get into the costs of bringing Obama back and forth from the Hawaiian vacation for a so-called invented crisis, which they authored, and for which none of them said, let's deal with this before the holidays.
Let's deal with this in beginning of December.
Let's deal with it in November.
Let's deal with it during the election cycle.
How would that work?
This whole idea of people flying, Harry Reed is saying, I'm tired.
I'm Tired?
You're tired, Mr. Reed.
You would be fired if you were in the private sector for the job you're doing.
I don't want to get ahead of myself.
Let's just go through the bare fact, shall we?
We have the vote first takes place in the Senate, then it goes over to the House.
In the House, you have a vote that ends up being 257 to 167.
85 Republicans join with the Democrats to pass this thing.
Joe Biden, and now think of this.
Think of this.
Joe Biden is out there doing the hard negotiating.
Makes you wonder why Obama came back from Hawaii, by the way.
Joe Biden is the one doing all of the negotiating on this.
He's backwards and forwards between the Senate and the House behind closed doors.
It's a very strange old world when Joe Biden is the adult in the room.
And of course, there's going to be more veiled threats.
All of this aimed at embarrassing the Republicans.
Look, here we've got a politico headline.
The political headline says GOP anti-tax policy goes over the cliff.
This is, my friends, the exact headline the White House has wanted all along.
And why are they saying that?
Well, there's a simple reason.
Not, first off, this is the first time.
Let this sink in.
Let this just sink in what I'm about to tell you.
If I could put it on bolds in an italics and underline it on the radio for you, I would.
This is the first time in almost two decades that income tax rates have been raised.
The first time in 20 years.
Not since 1991 has there been a Republican in Congress who supported raising taxes.
In other words, ladies and gentlemen, the Republican Party that has always been branded as an anti-tax party is no longer the party of anti-taxation.
Just spelling it out to you, just sharing that.
Now, what does this do for bomb for Obama and Biden?
Well, this emboldens them as we come up to the next parts of the crisis.
Incidentally, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio voted against this in the Senate.
Now, um, these are the two characters who you believe will be very likely frontrunners for the upcoming presidential election.
Now you know this is a bad deal.
You know it's a bad deal before I get into the details of it.
You know it's a bad deal simply because William Crystal, the conservative writer, says it's a good he thinks it's a good deal.
He thinks that the Republicans have got a better outcome and that they that they manage to take advantage of Obama.
That's how that's the confirmation I was waiting for.
Now, all over the place.
Here you've got Bloomberg News, not to be associated, not to be confused with Nanny Bloomberg and the anti-SALT policies and the anti-large drink policy.
Bloomberg News is telling us.
Headline there, that the Senate passed deal, and now the House passed deal means a higher tax on 77% of households in America.
That's what's just happened, ladies and gentlemen.
A higher tax on 77% of the households.
First time income tax has been raised in 20 years.
Not since 1991 as a Republican Congress voted for such a tax hike.
And the party of anti-taxation has become the party of accepting taxation.
And I ask you, what's the big deal over a few taxes, eh?
I mean, what is it?
What's a few taxes amongst friends?
You don't complain when your energy taxes are raised.
You don't seem to complain when your sales taxes are raised or your property taxes, or your road taxes, or your city taxes, or your state taxes, or your corporate taxes.
So what's the big deal?
What's the big deal over a few more taxes?
In fact, why should why should we keep any of our income at all?
Why should we keep any of it?
Just give it all to The Democrats, after all, we have learned that they are smarter than we are.
We are smarter, and we can just give them all of our money.
By the way, don't forget, I'm joking, of course, trying to keep it upbeat, I told you.
Don't forget the one trillion dollars in new taxes under Obamacare starting yesterday.
Ladies and gentlemen, the heavy hand of Obama's taxes will touch each and every American family.
You know, this is a reflection upon the complete lack of ability demonstrated by the Democrats that they had four years with two of those in complete control.
They did nothing except pass Obamacare, which America did not want.
And when we return, I will continue to try and make sense, ladies and gentlemen, of the senseless.
Welcome back to the show, ladies and gentlemen.
1-800-282-2882 is the number.
I now just let this soak in for a minute here.
What I'm going to tell you on the 28th of December.
Was that Friday or Saturday?
It was Friday or Saturday, just before New Year's.
Just let this sink in.
Through an executive order, Barack Obama ordered in the midst of this crisis.
He orders a pay raise for Biden, for members of Congress, and for federal workers.
In the midst, and Harry Reid is saying he's tired.
He can't make this stuff up, folks.
He just can't make it up.
So let this sink in now.
In the midst of this crisis, where spending is essentially not addressed.
They're kicking the can down the road.
They're creating three more crises.
This uncontrollable amoeba keeps splitting and splitting and splitting into more crises.
Let's let it soak in.
Obama raises the pay of these politicians.
People, as I said earlier, who, if they were in the private sector, would have been fired.
He raises the pay of politicians.
He raises the pay of government workers, whilst at the same time, he is fighting with stubborn intransigence to take money away from American citizens.
These are the people who worry about big oil.
These are the people who worry about big corporations.
They talk about greed.
What is more greedy and more worrisome than big government?
So he votes to he votes through executive order on the 28th of December, in the midst of this crisis, in stealth over the holidays, whilst you're not paying attention, and whilst Harry Reed is tired.
He votes, he orders, excuse me, through executive order, a pay raise for Biden, members of Congress, and federal workers.
The Congress has the good sense to do one thing.
By the way, I I must tell you how much this costs.
This pay raise costs eleven billion with a B, 11 billion dollars over the next 10 years.
That's about a billion plus a year.
Just through the swipe of a pen.
Executive order.
And now the Democrats are out there saying, well, the uh the the well, the the because in the House they voted this down.
The House, thankfully, did one good thing.
They stopped Obama's executive order pay raise.
And the Democrats were out there saying, well, how dare these Republicans do this?
How dare they?
It's one of the most cynical things I've ever seen, said Democrat Congressman, a Democrat from Virginia, Gerald Connolly.
He said it's one of the most cynical things I've ever seen.
He said the Republicans are doing this purely to provide protection for those who vote against the physical claim.
Cynical.
Cynical.
The most cynical thing I've ever seen are the Democrats who don't have any questioning or cynicism about a country in financial ruins with a president signing in pay raises for federal employees, for Biden, for congressmen, for lawmakers.
You know, federal compensation is a topic for another day, and it's been talked about a lot here on the show.
That is a prime example of government waste.
That is a prime example of government waste.
We're gonna.
Oh, I got a big payoff on that topic coming to you in the second hour.
Now, as Obama on the 28th of the 28th of December, is signing an executive order to raise the pay for these characters.
This is the same president.
We talk about last minute deals, we talk about people flying around.
This is the same president who, as you know, was in Hawaii for his Christmas vacation.
This president knew that there was this looming, everyone knew that there was this looming.
They didn't address it, they haven't addressed it, they've created several more crises to follow it.
And of course, the president, now, how many of you have ever fantasized for a moment what it would be like to have a giant and very luxurious 747, a phone call away.
A phone call away.
You're not going to face airport traffic, you're not going to face security lines at check-in.
You're not, you're going to have this great big multi tens of millions of dollars aircraft.
A phone call away, and you're getting a call downstairs, and you say, you know what, have the plane ready because I want to leave.
And that's exactly what happened.
Obama and his family go off on their Hawaiian vacation.
He returns the martyr, cutting it short, leaving his family.
He returns so that he can get involved in this physical cliff deal.
The deal that apparently Joe Biden was the one who got involved in.
He comes all the way back from Hawaii.
And then when it's done, once the vote is taken, within an hour, he's back on the 747 going back to Hawaii.
And as ABC News reported, they said, well, it's going to reunite Obama with the first lady.
There's a lovely sense of romance about this reunion, isn't there?
But the reality is is not quite that way.
The reality is that you've got a giant 747 at great expense, tremendous expense.
You've placed a phone call down there and you've said, get the plane ready.
Get it ready.
I'm going to go back tonight.
I'm going to leave.
And he left around, I think he left around midnight.
And it's a 10-hour flight.
And he's going to get in.
He got in today around 5 o'clock in the morning today, Wednesday.
Now, there is a cost to this.
There is a cost to raising the salaries of federal workers and congressmen and Biden.
There's a cost to all of this.
This is the irony, ladies and gentlemen.
The irony, which the media don't care about, of course, which Obama completely lost on him and his cronies.
They sign a deficit reduction bill that does nothing to reign in spending.
You raise at the same time you've raised the salaries of government workers and lawmakers and the vice president.
And then you come back and forth to Hawaii at an extra cost of more than three million dollars to taxpayers.
Now, that's an extra three million because the price tag of the Hawaiian vacation already being spent by the Obamas was four million dollars.
So when you add the three million of his return for the fiscal cliff engagement and his campaign victory lapse speech, the total cost for this whole thing is another seven million dollars.
This guy signs an executive order that spends 11 billion with a B in federal uh payroll raises for government employees and congressmen and Joe Biden too.
He adds another four million, another three million, adding the total cost of the Hawaiian vacation to seven million dollars.
He has used Air Force One, big, beautiful, expensive, luxurious 747, to go back and forth to Hawaii twice.
And this whole idea that the media has made him the suffering martyr.
Well, Obama was forced to come back from Hawaii.
He was forced to come back to complete the negotiations to avoid the physical cliff.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've all known about these negotiations, and we've all known about the so-called physical cliff for a very long time.
And this legislation that gets passed relies almost solely on new taxes and to reduce the deficit and no spending cuts.
So the cost alone of Obama's decision to return to Hawaii to go back to DC in Hawaii comes to over three million dollars.
And that does not, by the way, include this is in the uh the White House dossier.
This does not include the price tag for the massive security operation, or the cost of the cargo plane that follows Air Force One around.
Utterly, utterly, utterly amazing.
This is Obama.
Comfortable.
Obama unfiltered, doing what he likes to do, knowing the media won't write about it, ignored by the media.
Biden is doing the negotiating.
Obama's in the big plane, calling downstairs, get the plane ready, I'm gonna go.
I'd love to get the plane ready, say, Oh, I'm gonna get I'm going to Paris for the vacation.
Going someplace else.
Going someplace else.
This is this is Obama completely unfiltered.
Ladies and gentlemen, much more to come.
Yeah, I mean, you you you know that the that the media are part of the cabal when it comes to things like raising the salaries and the airplane going off to Hawaii.
The American people just sit back.
I don't understand it.
The low information voter just sits back and accepts this.
I honestly think, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for us to have national conversation about a number of important things.
I said some of them on Christmas Eve.
We may unfold some of them today in today's broadcast, but I tell you, during hard times like this, no president should be permitted to spend the taxpayer's money on such extravagant vacations.
I mean, if we're supposed if we're gonna have taxpayer money spent on presidential vacations at all, shouldn't there be a budget set for presidential vacations and personal spending?
Shouldn't there be some sort of arrangement whereby you've got to stay within the budget?
Of course, budget is not a word that side likes.
Maybe I just don't understand the brave new world.
Maybe I don't understand it.
Maybe I I don't appreciate that Obama isn't just the typical American president.
Maybe I don't appreciate deeply enough how he's transformational.
Maybe I don't understand the importance of a globalist leader that who's most deserving of these things.
Maybe it's all lost on me.
I think it's time to take a call.
Peter in Seattle, you've been holding for a long time, Peter.
How are you today?
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show, sir.
Very good to be with you.
I've read your wiki article.
I hope it's accurate.
I have tremendous respect for what you've done and the people you work with.
I have to check.
I don't know what it says on Wiki.
I will check.
How uh if let me just there's a simple rule of thumb here, Peter.
Anything that's that you find online about me that's good uh is accurate, and anything you find online about me that's negative is inaccurate.
We just go by that.
That sounds good.
What's on your mind?
My basic point would be that uh or why I called is I think the Republicans did the right thing.
I think they should let Obama own the coming economic reality.
I think Ben Bernanke knew that back on November 20th when he told the New York Times that he felt that failure to resolve the fiscal cliff would result in us toppling back into recession.
I think Ben Bernanke might know we're already going to topple back into recession.
And I think that they need, they would have loved the Republicans to serve themselves up as a scapegoat kebab, fully responsible for all the economic hardship which would befall Americans that is coming.
That I believe Ben Bernanke knows is coming.
And I think the Republicans made a hard decision, but they won the battle or they lost the battle in order to fight another day.
And I think when the issues of what's going to be cut come up down the road, they won't have the Republicans to hold accountable for the state of the economy.
Peter, May I ask you some questions?
Of course.
I now I'm not as knowledgeable as you.
I may be a medium information voter as opposed to You know we had a caller the other day who admitted he was a low information voter, so I was just uh fascinated by it.
Here's what I want to ask you about.
Being a medium information voter as you are, and let's face it, it's hard to be a high information voter.
It's even if English is your first language, because all of this stuff is designed to be deliberately confusing.
Would you agree to that, Peter?
Absolutely.
Now, if I said to you, this is a trick question, how many pages are in the U.S. tax code?
Any clue?
Any idea?
Uh, it's you know, be way beyond any a phone book.
All right.
I'll tell you the answer.
And I I I don't know for sure the answer, and I spent time looking it up, but it's very hard to get a definitive answer to this.
But let's say it's 76,000 pages in of tax code.
And let's say it's growing.
All right.
Let's just assume that that number is accurate for the moment.
It's a big number.
What, Peter, do we think is on every single solitary page of the United States tax code?
Exemptions won by lobbyists.
Well, yes, you're right.
And and exemptions won by lobbyists, or another way of putting it is a special pandering to a special interest group.
That's what every piece of the tax code is.
That's what's on every page of it is an exemption as you call it, won by lobbyists, but it's a special pandering to a special interest group.
Which now brings me to the to the point.
If all of this stuff is made so deliberately confusing, so hard to follow, that the average person by even if you want to be and you want to be your intelligent guy, you want to be a high information voter.
You can't even follow it.
Nobody can follow it.
That makes me that and how people agree more, and I just know J uh Jim Grant of Grant's interest rate observer points to the Constitution about the ability to coin money and set weights and measures.
And he said, if you change the length of a mile every day of the year, how would you know how far it is from one place to another?
And when the US dollar itself is such a flexible measure, how can you know which way the economy's going when the Fed and the Treasury are basically in an incestuous relationship relative to U.S. bond prices?
Well, I I have very little time, Peter, but I want to throw a theory at you, may I?
Absolutely.
The theory that is emerging in my mind only recently, only during the past year is this that if Republicans really want to win, yes, they have to speak clearly, yes, they've got to speak about conservatism, all the things we've talked about.
They've got to be bold and in your face and not be afraid to go negative when it's time.
The idea of making things very simple to understand makes me start wondering if there's going to be a Republican who emerges and if we are going to start having a national conversation about flat taxes that can be written on one page that everyone understands.
In other words, how do we remove the levers of power from the inside the beltway Washington elites?
Maybe term limits will be part of the conversation.
Maybe removing the power of law from the regulatory agencies.
Few other things.
What do you think, broadly speaking, Peter, of that?
I think that's an amazing idea.
I think the whole thing is to have a participatory democracy.
You've got to have a system that people can understand.
Exactly my point.
Peter, you're not going to think me rude if I have to scoot, are you?
Absolutely not.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Peter.
I do have to scoot.
It's Duggar Basky, ladies and gentlemen, filling in for the great Doctor of Democracy.
We'll be right back.
I love that, ladies and gentlemen.
