Time Text
And we are back.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Serving humanity while executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes so far.
Telephone number 800 282882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Wolf Blitzer, CNN is ecstatic that Chuck Hagel has been named by Obama to be the new Secretary of Defense.
Even as the president was speaking, I got an email from General Colin Powell, the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the former Secretary of State, strongly uh endorsing Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary.
I believe that more than ever he writes we need that kind of independent and bold leader who thinks in and out of the box, General Powell endorsing Chuck Hagel.
Yeah, okay, so who are we to complain now?
That's exactly right.
Colin Powell, a titular head of the Republican Party has just endorsed Hegel, we'll blitzer head to breaking news, and there you go.
Now I got an email from some because I meant I talked about this in a email said what do you mean you don't care?
That's not the way to put it.
But folks, look, I I've when it comes to Chuck Hagel, or when it comes to anybody else in Obama's cabinet, there's nothing I can do to stop it, and there's nothing you can do to stop it, and Obama's gonna pick people that he wants.
He's gonna pick people who are just like him.
And and any of these people in the conservative media who think they can change that or stop that are whistling.
It just it's you know, you I guess I just re rely on the fact that elections have consequences.
Obama wins, he gets to pick his Secretary of Defense.
If he picks a guy that's not particularly uh big fan of Israel, so be it.
Nothing I can do about it.
I'm not gonna get exercised by it.
Yeah, it has meaning.
It's there's certain bits of analysis could get into on it, but it is what it is.
Anyway, it's great to have you back.
Here's the phone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
I want to go back.
Mitch McConnell was on uh ABC's this week yesterday, and he said that with the fiscal cliff deal that uh the tax issue's finished.
It's over.
They got that taken care of.
That's off the table now.
Oh, yeah, the tax the revenue, the tax issue is finished, over, completed.
That's behind us.
Now the question is, what are we going to do about the biggest problem confronting our country and our future?
And that's our spending addiction.
It's time to confront it.
The president surely knows that.
I mean, he has mentioned it both publicly and privately.
So are you saying that any discussion of revenue is completely off the table going forward?
You will not accept any new revenues in any new deal?
Yeah, absolutely.
The tax issue is behind us.
There you have it.
Tax issues behind us.
And one of the reasons it's behind us is because I should tell you.
The Republicans are celebrating because the Bush tax rates for 99% of the country are now locked in.
The middle class, they're locked in.
They were permanent.
Now they're locked in.
I mean, they were temporary.
Now it is said they're permanent, but of course, nothing's permanent in Washington.
If we get a Democrat house, those taxes are gonna balloon, and middle class taxes are going up anyway.
But I just wanted you to hear McConnell say that from the Republican standpoint, okay, cool.
We did it.
We got taxes off.
This is why, by the way, if you're reading, if you're paying attention, you're seeing this, or you're hearing it.
I don't care where you look in conservative media, you are seeing, hey, you know what?
The Republicans actually put together a winning deal here.
They actually pulled it off.
The Republicans, Obama doesn't know it yet, but he got he got skunked.
Now that's the extreme.
Not all in the conservative media are going that far, but National Review, Weekly Standard, the blogs are all making the case that the Republicans.
So what it means is that the conservative media inside the beltway is tied or linked to the Republican establishment, and and that's the storyline, so they're putting it out.
And that's what McConnell's done.
That's what Oh, yeah, tax issue.
Done.
We won that.
We got we got tax rates for the middle class locked in.
Obama wanted to raise them.
We got Obama never wanted to raise middle class taxes, not openly like this.
That's not I mean, they can they can tell themselves this if it makes them feel better, they can go ahead.
But that's not going over the cliff, the taxes would have gone up because the rates would have expired, and Obama would have been the first guy proposing middle class tax cuts.
I guarantee you that outside of conservative media, Obama's getting all the credit for this.
Republicans aren't.
Anyway, I'm distracting even myself.
The point here is you heard McConnell taxes are done.
It's over.
No more tax.
We got that off the table.
It's another reason why the Republicans are being said to have really gotten the best they could out of this.
Tax off so I got a core belief off the table here, a core belief off the table there, and now we can get down to talking about spending.
Except Obama doesn't think we've got a spending problem.
He told John Boehner.
This is in a Stephen Moore column in the Wall Street Journal.
Every time Boehner told Obama we've got a spending problem, Obama said, no, we don't, and I'm tired of hearing it.
Boehner quotes Obama and says, we don't have a spending problem, I'm tired of hearing about it.
The reason that we're in debt is because of health care costs.
And I fixed that with Obamacare.
So no common ground.
We're not there's there's not going to be any spending reductions here today.
You can hope and dream it ain't gonna happen.
But I just want you to hear some Democrats talking about taxes.
Since the Republicans are convinced that's that's done.
Oh, yeah, tax issue is behind us.
First up, Barack Obama, Saturday morning, White House YouTube channel.
For the first time in two decades, we raised taxes on the wealthiest two percent of Americans in a bipartisan way, while preventing a middle class tax hike that could have thrown our economy back into recession.
But all this was just one step in the broader effort to grow our economy and shrink our deficits.
The wealthiest individuals and the biggest corporations shouldn't be able to take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren't available to most Americans.
Okay.
So they got the Republicans to confess and to concede that tax cuts for the rich were the problem.
And we fixed that in a bipartisan way.
But we're not through on the rich because now we've got to go after their deductions and loopholes.
But wait, the Republicans say taxes are off the table.
What's gonna happen when Obama comes back and says we gotta close some of these loopholes on the I guarantee you what's gonna happen.
Every time Obama the Democrats say jump when it comes to tax increases on the rich, the Republicans will.
Now that they've got it up behind them.
Okay, so that's Obama.
Gonna go after loopholes, or we're gonna go after deductions.
Here is Senator Dick Turban from Illinois on CNN yesterday.
Candy Crowley, so let me ask you about money to be saved in tax reform, because if the government saves money in tax reform, that means somebody's taxes go up.
Do you think taxes have been raised enough on the wealthy?
There are still deductions, credits, special treatments under the tax code, which ought to be looked at very carefully.
There are plenty of things within that tax code, these loopholes where people can park their money in some island offshore and not pay taxes.
These are things that need to be closed.
We can do that and use the money to reduce the deficit.
So there are other taxes that you believe that you can, however you want to put them, raise, retrieve, whatever from the wealthy.
Absolutely.
Taxes are off the table.
Tax issue behind us.
We don't have a tax problem anywhere.
See, we put the tax issue, we got that done.
Now we're gonna be talking about spending is the Democrats haven't gotten a message.
They're still talking about raising taxes.
Now with closing loopholes, here's Pelosi also on slay the nation.
No, it is not.
I mean, the president had said originally he won at 1.6 trillion dollars in revenue.
He took it down to 1.2 as a compromise.
That is not enough on the revenue side.
We've changed the rate, the uh high-end tax rate, 39.6, very important step.
And again, there's much more that we can do by just subjecting it to the scrutiny of what is bringing in revenue, what is creating growth.
Well, look, she's uh often uh totally oblivious.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
Doesn't but there is no growth, folks.
And there can't be.
Mathematically, it's not possible.
You can't take all the money out of the private sector that they are taking and then have the private sector grow.
The private sector has to shrink.
And the less money, the the less capital circulating in the private sector for wages, raises, uh investments in in growing, but the the the less money means less investment.
It it it can't grow.
And they want it they want to take another trillion dollars.
They've got one point true trillion they've taken out, they think with this latest maneuver, they want another trillion taken out of the private sector.
And Pelosi starts talking about growth at the same thing.
It's not possible mathematically.
But they're not through, is the point.
And if they ever get control of the house back, those middle class tax rates are going up.
The welfare state is the most important thing to them, not the middle class.
The welfare state is the number one thing.
It must grow.
It must include more people.
Santa Claus, it must include more voters.
So Bob Schaefer said to uh Pelosi, well, people who are listening to you this morning are gonna say that you're talking about more taxes.
You talk about bringing in more in one way or another.
You're still talking about increasing taxes.
One thing I'm not talking about is bringing them in and more at the expense of the middle class, at the expense of the middle class.
Are you then saying to uh the upper classes, get ready, you're gonna have to pay some more?
This is not the end of it.
Well, I'm saying that's not off the table.
That's not off the case.
That's not off the table.
W uh wait, what w uh see, Mitch McConnell.
Tax issue is finished, it's over, it's completed, it's behind us.
And I got Pelosi and Dick Turbin here and and Obama talking about they're gonna get even more.
And and the money they're taking is from the people who hire other people.
I got one more Pelosi but here, and it's also slay the nation.
Bob Schiefer said, why do we go through this debt limit thing every year now?
Why why why do we go through all these crises, madam leader?
Because it, you know, it embarrasses everybody.
Well, you ask the Republicans because we always pass the debt ceiling when President Bush was president as he was incurring these massive debts, and the Republicans weren't saying boo at the time.
If I were president, I would use the 14th Amendment, which says that the United States will always be paying.
You would just go ahead and do it.
You wouldn't be able to do that.
I would just go do it, right.
Yeah, just gotta do it.
I just raise it the hell of Congress.
I just use the 14th Amendment and just raise the debt limit.
They all would have that's what Pelosi wants.
So Schaefer said what happened in Washington?
What happened?
It simply did not used to be this way, Miss Pelosi.
What what do you think is wrong here?
What happened?
Uh what needs to happen?
I keep saying to my Republican friends, take back your party.
This isn't the grand old party that did so many things for America that commanded so much respect.
We need a strong Republican party.
This is really the over-the-edge crowd.
That's the way I see it.
What she means is that too many conservatives still in the party.
She doesn't want a big Republican party.
She wants a small Republican Party made up of traditional Bob Michael type Republicans who know that their mission is to go to Washington and be losers and smile about it.
That's what she is advocating returning to.
We'll be back, folks.
Don't go with Folks.
I was gonna get into our Low information voters segment, complete with sound bites at this time.
But our caller, the next caller, can't wait till the next half hour.
Is busy.
Must have a job or something.
So we're going to take the caller now.
It is Bill in River Falls, Wisconsin.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Good.
Thank you very much.
Oh, then a minute.
Hold it a minute.
I can't understand what you're saying.
Are you out in the wind or something?
Yes, I'm standing outside of those on my way into my Yeah.
That's what I thought.
I have experience with that.
I have to say I was listening.
I've been very concerned about this football stuff.
I'm a big fan, but I really care.
And I think we need to start a new new organization.
Um something about safety.
My thought was perhaps safe outraged, organized, loving safety.
Well, that yeah, what one of the things we could do, you know, long ago.
First, folks, I must tell you, we didn't talk about being in a cutting edge.
Way back in the 90s.
I first became aware of the concussion problem in soccer.
And I put together a group called Keep Our Own Kids Safe.
And it was an attempt to educate people about the dangers of soccer.
This is, I mean, this is 10, 15 years ago.
And he remembers it.
It's one of the things that he's talking about here.
Uh, and it's it's it's another reason.
Don't don't discount what I'm saying to you about the future of football.
Because I called it on soccer.
And we put together a couple of uh I remember we had people calling here, telling me that I was full of it, and didn't know what I was talking about.
And other people called and agreed and thought I was really on to something.
So we put together uh a PSA.
We have two, actually, do we not?
We have we have four.
We have four PSAs that keep our own kids safe.
Let's let's listen to a couple of them.
And again now, this is easily ten to fifteen years ago.
And now a word from the National Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign about the danger of soccer.
I have played soccer since I was in kindergarten.
I think that it has affected me.
After soccer games, I would be lightheaded from heading the soccer ball.
I broke my leg playing a soccer game two years ago this time.
I was in the physical therapy for eight months with a hip injury, all from soccer.
Keep our own kids safe, national celebrity spokesman Rush Limbaugh.
We thank God, Lisa, that you are among the fortunate few who have learned in time.
But think of the people who have not learned, who don't know, who are being led down the primrose path.
I my friends, I think it's time for serious drastic action.
It is time to ban soccer from television.
That obviously is encouraging a lot of people to play.
Don't let any of the sponsors that sponsor soccer.
Advertise on TV.
Something must be done now.
You heard her story.
It's not worth risking my body injuries.
I could be stuck with for life.
I mean, who knows?
But I could be like five years from now.
I could be like a paraplegic.
I mean, who knows?
It's not worth it.
Join Rush Limbaugh and help support the Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign.
Look for the Keep Our Own Kids Safe chapter near you.
You'll find them everywhere.
And now a word from the National Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign about the danger of soccer.
If they have a competitive player on the field that they can't beat, they are coached to hurt them and take them out of the game.
Keep our own kids safe.
National celebrity spokesman Rush Limbaugh.
At what age is that taught?
Fairly young.
That is the entirely different picture from what I have always thought soccer was.
I thought soccer was a refuge from violence.
I thought that's one of the drawing cards of soccer, and his parents were sending their kids out there so they wouldn't get involved in those kinds of activities like that.
Well, that's exactly why we had our boys play soccer.
This same son went to college on a soccer scholarship, and he thought he would get away from this being attacked In a tournament game.
He again won the ball, and the kid he won it from ran wide open at him, lunged at him with his knee up and got him in the grind and shattered at Test Nicole.
They left him laying on the side of the field during that game.
And he went into shock.
This is a genuine horror story that I'm sure pains you to tell.
I think it's important to point out that the soccer moms obviously didn't know and don't know.
It's not that they were irresponsible or are irresponsible like Jane here.
They were just uninformed.
This is why our education campaign is so important.
Join Rush Limbaugh and help support the Keep Our Own Kids Safe campaign.
Look for the Keep Our Own Kids Safe chapter near you.
You'll find them everywhere.
That's right.
They are everywhere.
And then there was a another guy that that called who thought that I was raising concerns way beyond what was necessary.
And he pointed out he'd played soccer all his life, and he was entirely normal.
And I uh I asked him, I said, Well, have you asked your family members if you're maybe different?
He said, Oh, yeah, there's no problem.
I said, Well, you I said, victims are sometimes the last to know whether they've been hurt.
You should you should ask people if your brain's any different now than it was before you started playing soccer.
He thought I was full of my my only point here is that it was it was years ago, over ten years ago, that we spotted first the dangers in soccer, which now you can find almost routinely referenced, particularly head injuries, and the same thing is gonna happen at football.
Well, it is happening in football.
And once again, we were here on the cutting edge, the first to warn you of the trends in society toward changing and altering this game in a way that make it unrecognizable.
And we are back.
Great to have you here, L. Rushbow on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
How many of you all watch Downton Abbey on uh on PBS?
You watch it, Don?
HR, do you watch Downton Abbey?
You know what's I do.
Uh I have seen every episode of season three, which just premiered last night.
And I just gonna tell you, I'm not no, no, no, no spoilers.
But I'm just gonna say there are two surprises.
No, I'm not even gonna go that just I just the last episode of the season.
It goes along and it's fine and daily, and the last ninety seconds guarantee you you won't it come out of left field and wipe you out.
If you're heavily invested in the characters in the show, the last 90 seconds of the last episode, it's a two-hour episode.
Only took me an hour and a half.
No, it's an hour and a half.
Two hours if they run commercials in it, which PBS I don't think does.
Ted Cruz, the new senator from Texas.
Folks, this guy's terrific.
Um Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, uh we've we've got a bright future in the conservative side of the Republican Party with these two guys.
And I've got four sound bites from Ted Cruz that I want you to hear.
Um He knocks it out of the park.
He's on Fox News Sunday, and he's he just knocks it out of the park here on anything that's asked of him.
He is he is fearless.
He's he doesn't make excuses.
Uh he's he's not defensive in any uh way at all.
It just it's it's a pleasure to hear.
And when you hear Ted Cruz, you wonder what happened.
Why aren't there more?
But he's it's not that he's uh not good enough.
He's he is it just makes you realize that what was at one time what could be.
Here is the first question from John Roberts, who was filling in yesterday for Chris Wallace.
How are you gonna vote on Chuck Hagel?
If Hegel is nominated, it is very difficult to imagine a circumstance in which I could support his confirmation.
It's interesting.
The president seems bound and determined to proceed down this path, despite the fact that Hegel's record is very, very troubling on the nation of Israel.
He has not been a friend to Israel, and in my view, the United States should stand unshakably with the nation of Israel.
Yeah, well, I guess Obama picks people like him.
I always had to laugh in the first term.
You got these weirdo members of the admin, like Van Jones, some out and out communists and and P. See, how did this guy get past Obama end up with it?
Obama knows him.
Obama wanted him.
Obama is an authoritarian figure.
There's nobody either in the cabinet or a czar who is not personally acceptable and really loved and adored by Obama.
The idea that extreme leftists somehow get past Obama, I've always been amused by that.
Next question.
Senator, are you willing to risk default on our debt by taking the debt ceiling battle right to the limit?
No, and let me be very clear about this.
I do not support default on the debt.
We should never default on the debt.
And the only players in Washington who are threatening default on the debt are President Barack Obama and Harry Reid.
Whatever happens with the debt ceiling, we will always pay our debt.
We will never default on the debt.
And the reason the President isn't doing that is he's trying to scare people.
He is trying to raise this specter of a financial apocalypse.
Exactly.
Keep people on edge.
Always on the on the edge or the verge of chaos.
Always in the midst of an emergency, crisis emergency, have to do something this minute.
We don't have time to think about it.
And what we have to do is exactly what Obama wants done.
Next question is there any new gun control that you would accept?
The reason we're discussing this is because of the tragedy in Newtown.
And every parent, my wife and I, we've got two little girls, age four and age two.
Every parent was horrified at what happened there.
To see 20 children, six adults senselessly murdered.
It takes your breath away.
But within minutes, we saw politicians run out and try to exploit this tragedy, try to push their political agenda of gun control.
I do not support their gun control agenda for two reasons.
Number one, it's unconstitutional.
But is there any that you would accept?
I don't think the proposals being discussed now make sense.
Senator Diane Feinstein's bill would create a national gun registry.
I don't think the federal government has any business having a list of law-abiding citizens who choose to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.
Let me tell you something.
If Obama could wave his magic wand, you would all lose your guns.
270 million guns or more, he'd get he'd he'd make sure you gave them up.
If he could, and don't doubt me on this, if Obama not only that, he would, if barring that, if he can't get everybody to turn in their gun or forcibly take it from them, he wants to register everybody that has a gun.
As though they're no different from a sex offender or what have you.
Law-abiding, peaceful people.
Barack Obama wants them branded as gun owners because he wants them thought of as potential sources of chaos, disaster, and danger.
But you notice here one of the reasons I like Cruz.
John Roberts, I don't know him, uh, he's Fox.
But you notice the the the the what Ted Cruz said in the answer to his question is not even relevant.
Is there anything that you would do?
Is there anything you would accept?
Anything.
Is there nothing you won't accept?
I mean, come on, Senator, is there nothing that can make you give up your guns?
And whatever answer Ted Cruz gives, no matter how brilliant, no matter how sensible, doesn't matter, is there nothing?
So the template is we got to get rid of our guns.
We've got to register all of our guns.
Guns are dangerous, guns are the problem.
More people die because of hammers, I read this the other day than guns.
This is you know we're we're at a point in our culture where rational, factual, sensible explanations are not relevant.
And I don't know about you, but that's one of the most frustrating things to me about where we are In our culture.
You do, he's right.
Everybody's having a cow here because of Newtown.
Newtown's terrible, no question.
Like take people's side.
Okay, Newtown happened, but do you realize that the number of mass murders taking place with guns is declining in this country?
I don't care.
I don't care.
I need to get rid of it.
No, no, listen to me.
It's not the big problem you think that it is.
And the federal government can't stop this from happening anyway.
I don't care.
We're going to get rid of guns.
Newtown, I saw it on TV.
Kids, we got to get rid of it.
No, no, listen to me.
The number of instances of mass murders take place with guns is really declining.
It's happening less.
It happened far more in the past.
I don't care, I don't care.
We're going to hear where the guns.
Newton, I saw it on TV.
Kids are dying, we've got to get rid of it.
No, no, listen to me.
I'm trying to tell you it's not the big problem that you think it is.
It's not happening every day.
It's not happening every month.
It's not happening every year.
We're going to get rid of the guns.
Newtown, I saw it on TV.
Kids are.
We're up against brick walls here.
Factual, rational explanations of things that are, by the way, focused on people maintaining their freedom and liberty.
Don't get through.
You're up against a brick wall.
People's emotions get revved up here and rational, factual explanations of things that are oriented toward preserving their freedom.
Don't register.
And that's what you know, Robert's question.
Is there nothing you would support?
Is there nothing?
Is there one thing you would support it?
Getting rid of it.
No, I don't think that's the problem.
Come on, not one thing, and that's and Cruz doesn't back down from it.
He's not trying to please the journalist.
He's not trying to curry favor with the journalist.
He is articulating the truth.
Rationally and factually.
Some point that has to carry the day.
One more.
Again, John Roberts.
You wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post the other day.
Uh that no, you need to retrench conservative values, develop opportunity conservatism to try to help people live the American dream.
Is that really the right way to go when you're looking at changing it demographics again?
You really Senator, do you really think that that's what to do?
Talk about opportunity conservatism and helping people live the American dream.
What you wrote, you really think that makes sense.
Here's what Cruz said.
It's exactly the right way to go.
The reason I am a conservative is because conservative policies work and they improve opportunity.
They are the avenue for climbing the economic dream.
And what I have been talking about for many years is opportunity conservatism, that every policy should focus like a laser on easing the means of ascent up the economic ladder, that we should be championing the 47% to take that now infamous comment.
Look, the great thing about Americans, Americans don't want to be dependent on government.
Dependency saps the spirit.
It doesn't work.
Americans want to stand on their own two feet, and the best way to do that is have policies that allow entrepreneurs and small businesses to thrive and to create jobs and advance the American dream.
You know how many people think he sounds like a dinosaur?
Nowadays this.
Thrive stand on their own two feet, policies that allow entrepreneurs and small businesses to create jobs, advance the American.
You realize how out of touch he sounds, Mabel?
You realize, well, that guy's a dinosaur.
That's how it sounds to a lot of people.
When he says the American people don't want to be dependent on government.
How many of you think, I don't know if he's right anymore?
Because I've got this piece that ran exclusively in the New York Post yesterday.
Welfare recipients take out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores, and X-rated shops.
A story that appeals right to low information voters, low political information voters.
Great story for TMZ.
They're on the dole and watching the poll.
Welfare recipients took out cash at bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors, even strip clubs, Where they presumably spent their taxpayer money on lap dances rather than diapers, according to a New York Post investigation.
A database of 200 million.
EBT records, electronic benefit transferred, debit cards.
January 2011 to July 2012, 18 months.
Obtained by the Post through a freedom of information request showed that welfare recipients using the debit cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATM's inside Hanks Saloon in Brooklyn, the Blue Door Video Porn Shop in the East Village, the Anchor, which is a sleek Soho Lounge, the Patriot Saloon in Tribeca, and Drinks Galore, liquor distributor in the Bronx.
One EBT machine stationed inside Club 11.
An infamous Hunts Point Jiggle Joint.
Known as much for its violent history as its girls in pink thongs.
We got a welfare machine inside Club 11.
Santa Claus.
Michael Tanner, senior fellow of the Cato Institute.
This is morally scandalous.
I have nothing against strip clubs, but that's not what benefits are for.
I don't blame recipients.
If you're poor, it's a crummy life, and you want to have a drink or see a naked woman.
I blame the people who are in charge of this.
So it's not the welfare recipient's fault.
Hell no.
If I was a welfare recipient and I had a card, I'd go to a strip club too.
That's what the Cato guy said.
Okay.
Al Jazeera bought Al Gore.
They didn't buy the network.
Nobody can convince me that that network is worth 500 million dollars.
What Al Jazeera bought is Al Gore.
He is now Al Jazeerigore, and I'm I want to expand on this tomorrow when I have a little bit more time.
And I we didn't get to our low information voter segment today, and it was loaded.
So I'm going to do that tomorrow.
But here just one item from our low information voter pile, Kyle XY.
This is my breaking news from TMZ right now.
Kyle XY star Matt Dallas has come out.
30-year-old Kyle XY star Matt Dallas took to Twitter to announce that he's gay and engaged to musician Blue Hamilton.
This is the first time that Matt Dallas has acknowledged in public that he's gay.
