Time Text
Hey, folks, how are you?
Great to have you here as always.
It's a thrill and a delight to be with you, Rush Limbaugh and the excellence in broadcasting network.
Excellence in broadcasting network, trying to speak to fast telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
And we are going to get to your phone calls early in this hour.
I want to give a shout out.
What did I what did I do with her?
What did I do?
I want to give a shout out.
Rich Lowry at National Review.
This does not happen much.
And as such, I want to give Rich Here it is.
You know, Rich is the editor at National Review.
And he has a column now that runs at the politico.
And his column today is called Rush is Right.
And as I say, uh, I'm only calling this to your attention because this doesn't really happen much.
He starts out by saying there have been some uh there should have been something for everybody in Obama's second immaculate address.
For liberals, a full-throated call to arms for conservatives vindication.
Obama settled once and for all the debate over his place and the political spectrum and his political designs.
He is an unabashed liberal, determined to shift our politics in our country irrevocably to the left.
In other words, Obama's foes always had him pegged correctly.
If you listen to Rush Limbaugh, if you listen to Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, you got a better appreciation of Obama's core than by reading the president's friends and sophisticated interpreters, for whom he was either a moderate or a puzzle yet to be fully worked out.
Rush doubted that Obama could have emerged from the left wing milieu of Hyde Park, become in short order the most liberal U.S. Senator, run to Hillary Clinton's left in the primaries, and yet have been a misunderstood centrist all along.
Rich is right.
All during the 2008 campaign, the left and everybody's making of Obama what they wanted him to be, and everybody wanted a centrist.
Everybody wanted to be a bipartisan.
Everybody wanted a new president to be.
Somebody was going to unite us.
A new politics, post-partisan, post-racial, uh post-uh political.
I mean, this guy wasn't even political.
He was just great.
He was the one.
He was the Messiah.
He was a moderate.
And people like me all during the primaries was, no, no, no.
This guy is as far to the left as anybody that's ever run for the office.
And we documented it with evidence.
Here's Obama in his own words.
We had audio sound bites.
We had quotes that we read to you over and over.
And yet, smart people, the wizards of smart inside the beltway, both conservative and liberal.
Even at a big dinner party over at George Will's house.
At Obama technically hosted, and Will hosted it, but it was Obama's dinner.
And then David Brooks, New York Times, conservative was there.
Larry Cudlow Conservative was there, and they all came out of this thing.
What a wonderful, great guy.
Brooks said, I saw the crease in his pants, and I knew.
I knew he was going to be a great president.
I mean, they were all.
I don't know if they were buffaloed or if they just wanted this guy to be something so badly that they just said that's who he is.
But regardless, whatever the reason, they it was right in front of them who he was, and it has been for four years.
And they would never admit it.
And while not admitting who Obama really is, and always has been, and therefore not acknowledging what Obama's true intentions are, they have served to muddy the waters, cloud the issues, and cast doubt on people who are giving honest interpretations of who Obama is.
And so Rich, in his column today, at Politico, basically says Rush and the guys were right.
And as I say, this doesn't well, this never happens.
It never happens.
I mean, you go To the media, and you'll you'll see a blog here or a uh website there every day with a rolling feature with uh whatever commentator and what he said that day, as though it's some earth-shattering uh unique interpretation or analysis of the day's events, and they're always wrong, or they're always mistaken to some degree or another.
And as part and parcel, if if me or my talk show brethren are mentioned, it's usually in not I don't want to say they rip it, but it's not it's not flattering.
It's uh well, you know, talk radio, these extremists, you know, they know they're not serious, they're just entertainers and that kind of stuff.
That's why I wanted to uh call this to your attention.
And the last line of his piece, the virtue of Obama's inaugural address was making his intentions unmistakable, although Rush Limbaugh never mistook them in the first place.
So thanks, Rich.
Rich acknowledging that from the get-go, we've been right about who Obama is, and now it can't be denied because his inaugural address indeed was one of the most partisan and divisive speeches, period, inaugural or otherwise.
He basically pointed out he's got friends and enemies, and his job is to take his enemies out, exactly what we've been saying, eliminate all opposition, that's the political objective.
He doesn't come forth with policy ideas, he's platitudes, everybody getting a fair shake, everybody getting a fair job, everybody getting a fair outcome, fair this, fair that, fair and balanced approach, whatever.
But he never gets into policy, he can't be honest about what he wants to do policy.
If he had announced in that 2008 campaign, and by by the way, everything that's happened in this country for the last four years has been by design, the debt, the growth of government, the expansion of government with Obamacare, all of it's been by design, it was part of the plan.
He'd have never been elected on this agenda.
He would have never, he got elected because he was the opposite people thought of who he really is.
Moderate centrist, post racial, postpartist, bring everybody together.
Now he's made it clear with this speech.
There's no way to miss if if if you're a commentator, if you are uh just if if you're not even in in in media or the commentary, and even if if after this speech that he gave, if and with coupled with the real policies, the real actions that he's taken.
If you can't acknowledge who he is and what his intentions are, you're not ever going to, and you don't intend to because you don't want to.
But it's unmistakable now, and that's the point Rich is making.
It's unmistakable who Obama is and who he's always been.
I just want to go back to this program way back April 17th of 2008.
Now, this sound bite is it is of me on this program, and it comes from the day after one of Obama's debates with Hillary, and this was in the midst of Operation Chaos.
Let me, for those of you who weren't here then, let me tell you what's going on.
The Republican primary was over.
McCain had it sewn up after Charlie Christ endorsed him in Florida, and that was the end.
And it well, it actually ended in West Virginia when Huckabee threw his voters to to McCain, and that basically aced uh Romney out.
Then the Christ endorsement wrapped it up.
So the Republican primary was over.
And in terms of this audience, no drama on the Republican side.
There was nothing to talk about.
And there wasn't all that much excitement for McCain anyway.
So I, not wanting to be bored, didn't want the Democrat primary to end early.
And for that to happen, Hillary needed to stay viable.
Hillary was in debt.
She was not winning states in the primaries.
The press was totally behind Obama, and so there were some remaining State primaries to go.
And I implemented Operation Chaos.
Operation Chaos was designed to keep the Democrat primary going.
To prevent Obama from winning it early, to hopefully prevent Obama from winning it, period, by propping Hillary up.
What was Operation Chaos?
Operation Chaos was where I suggested that Republican voters, since the Republican primary was over, in states yet to come in the Democrat primary, in the primary, go in, change registration at Democrat, and go vote for Hillary.
I was a tough thing for people to do, had to hold their nose.
I mean, the last thing anybody in this audience ever thought they'd be doing be voting for Hillary Clinton for anything.
But the purpose of it was to keep the Democrat primary going, to keep Obama spending money, and to help the woman.
Don't forget that nomination was Hillary's.
I mentioned this yesterday.
Her payoff for sticking with Bill, her payoff for defending Bill, her payoff for not leaving Bill, her payoff for keeping Bill in office, not letting all those scandals run him out of town.
Her payoff was the presidency.
It was hers.
She was going to be the next Democrat nominee.
It was in the cards.
It was a 75% sure bet.
And then out of nowhere, came Obama, and the media swooned.
They swooned over the possibility of the first African American president coming from the civil rights era as they did.
It was irresistible.
And so they abandoned Hillary.
Members of Congress, ranking Democrats, some stuck with her, but they abandoned.
They all went to Obama.
The media was in a tank for Obama.
And poor Hillary, it was hers, and then the Democrat Party powers that be yanked it right out from underneath her.
For a fairy tale.
That's what Bill Clinton described Obama's candidacy as a fairy tale.
That's all this is.
It's a fairy tale.
Ted, he's talking to Ted Kennedy.
Ted, you remember, I mean, it wasn't that long ago this guy'd have been fetching us our adult beverages.
Here he is.
Here he's about to get my wife out of this race.
And then they played the race card on Clinton, South Carolina, and that ticked him off.
And a lot of people had been on board for Hillary, abandoned Hillary went to Obama.
And so I rode to the rescue with Operation Chaos.
And that involved you.
And George Clooney made a movie, The Ides of March.
And I didn't even know this.
I didn't see the movie until six months after it came out.
I had no idea how Operation Chaos really discombobulated him in the Democrat Party.
It really ticked him off.
The first 35 or 40 minutes of that movie is about Operation Chaos.
Because there were Republicans registering as Democrats voting for Hillary, and that primary was extended.
It came down to superdelegates, and it worked.
That Obama had to take that all the way to the summertime.
So that's what was going on at the time of this soundbite.
And let it, let me state again for the record, that it was I, Il Rushbow, not the Democrat Party.
It was I keeping Hillary's campaign alive, or trying to.
It was I trying to defend the honor of the woman.
The Democrat Party, they dangled a carrot in front of her, they made her think it was hers, and they yanked it away for the skinny new little black guy that came on the scene that they liked more.
And as it always happens, the women end up getting a shaft in the Democrat Party.
Just like we had to defend Carl McCall.
We had to fundraise for Carl McCall when the Democrats pulled money away from him in the governor's race for New York.
And yet they still claim it I am anti-female as war on women stuff.
But this program kept her campaign alive.
Well, can't say that we were the she had a role in it.
But we were there.
We were doing what we could to help her.
That's the point.
So this soundbite, April 17, 2008.
This is this is one day after an Obama Hillary debate, right in the middle of Operation Chaos.
Now we all knew who Obama was.
We knew exactly who Obama was.
This is but this is the saddle days when Obama's a moderate, he's a centrist, he's this wonderful.
Black blank canvas, whatever you want him to be.
He is.
He was he was he was the Messiah.
And yet today, almost five years later, it's just now dawning on the establishment media that Obama's not the centrist.
Just now dawning, of course, I don't believe that either.
I I think they've known who he is from the get-go.
All that other stuff was for public posturing.
That's one of the reasons they were so in the tank for him, is because he was such a leftist.
And here I want to let here hear uh have you hear what I said back on April 17th, 2008.
What we learned last night, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, what America who watched last night learned, because you and I have known this from the get-go, Barack Obama is a fully manufactured candidate.
The drive-by media invented him.
They helped invent him.
Therefore, any effort to reveal who he really is, including his associations, past and current, are quickly attacked.
And that's the scope of the criticism today.
Let's face it, his associations are with true, genuine radicals in any number of ways.
In addition to his associations that were exposed last night, his ideology was open and bare, and everybody could see it.
And that was attacked as well.
Any effort to expose his liberalism is being attacked today, too.
Now here's the here's the conclusion.
A moderate, as Obama claims he is, a centrist as Obama claims he is.
A uniter, as Obama claims he is, would not be in the same room with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, would not be in the same room with a former terrorist who tried to blew up the Pentagon, Bill Ayers.
A moderate centrist uniter like Barack Obama has promised that he is, would not have a wife on the stump making repeatedly offensive statements about the United States of America.
A moderate centrist uniter would not have been a Sololinsky activist.
Obama calls himself a community activist, but it's much more dire than that.
Obama has become to a lot of people an idea of what they want him to be.
So they project their perceptions onto him, and that's exactly what he wants.
But this program was never fooled.
We never bought into this silly notion that he's as harmless, moderate, centrist, post-partisan, post-racial, post whatever.
On the cutting edge.
Now, after this inaugural address, you believe a number of people talking about my God, this guy wants to really wipe out the Republican Party.
Yep, been saying that for a while.
Oh my God, this guy really.
It's been out there for five years.
People just didn't want to admit it.
Quick time out.
Even even John Boehner is now saying that Obama's goal is to annihilate the Republican Party.
What took him so long?
Sound bites on that coming up.
Plus your phone calls.
Don't go away.
Okay, Cookie just sent me a soundbite.
I was gonna go to the phones.
Please beg, I beg you for your indulgence and patience.
I gotta play this.
Just send me this soundbite.
Well, I just finished explaining how it was this program who sought to come to the aid of the disrespected and shabbily treated Hillary Clinton via Operation Chaos.
It was this program and me, your host, El Roshbow, who did everything we could to keep her in that primary.
We did more than the Democrat Party was doing for her.
And you helped.
So on Fox just now, a Democrat activist named Jemu Green was on with Cal Thomas.
And talking about media reaction to Hillary's testimony yesterday on Benghazi.
That's not a surprise that there's so much petty sniping happening from the conservative media, with Russ Limbaugh being at the top of the list, and uh what his comments were, you know, accusing her of canned compassion.
Uh I think there is no strong woman leader uh that could make him happy.
Hillary Clinton could save him from drowning, and he would still call her a feminazi because she was strong enough to lift him out of the water.
Well, I guess this low profile thing is totally blown up now.
It just isn't working.
I this this is the kind of nonsensical analysis.
What difference does it make anyway?
What Hillary said yesterday.
What difference does it make?
And how she said it.
And that was not the primary thrust of my comments on Hillary's testimony yesterday anyway, canned compassion, although Democrats are famous for it.
But Ms. Green, I want to seriously throw something out for all of you to think about.
Now you constantly tell us that the Democrat Party is where women are respected.
The Democrat Party is where opportunity and equal pay and equal opportunity for women takes place.
That conservatives like me conduct wars on women.
Forget Operation Chaos, Jemu.
Forget my desire and work to assist Hillary Clinton.
I even had Hillary supporters loving me during Operation Chaos.
But Gemu, you know something that I notice.
Every man in Hillary Clinton's life has sent her out to lie for him.
Every powerful Democrat man depends on Hillary Clinton going out and lying for him.
Barack Obama and Hillary lying about Benghazi.
And Bill Clinton, where would he not for Hillary Clinton going out spreading lies and distortions for them?
Is that a sign of respect, Gemmu?
That's what Hillary's worth to these people is to lie for them, to give them credibility, to get them out of tight gems.
The Apple stock price on my iPhone.
Yeah, look at it, still down 11, 12%.
It's just amazing to me.
And I know exactly why.
I just don't.
Anyway, I'm not I'm not kidding about this, folks.
I don't think this is a I don't think this is what feminism was all about, and I certainly don't think this is what respect is all about.
But it does seem, does it not?
That every man in Hillary Clinton's political life has put her in positions where she has to lie for him.
Doesn't it seem that way?
Every man in her life has put her in position where she has to lie to defend him.
And they send her out there to do that.
And somehow it ends up that uh old Rush Limbaugh's at the top of the list of people sniping at Hillary Clinton and disrespecting Hillary Clinton.
And somehow people like Rush Limbaugh, me don't like powerful women.
How absurd.
Give me Margaret Thatcher running this country today, any day.
I would be ecstatic.
Jean Kirkpatrick, I give it in any number of powerful accomplished women.
Hi, the Democrat Party treats Mrs. Clinton like an abused wife.
And it's no wonder they're constantly dangling carrots for her.
And there's no wonder why at seemingly every turn the Democrat Party owes her.
And they do, because every man in her life politically, it sure seems this way, has needed her to lie for him.
Okay, let's go to the phones.
We uh start New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Hi, Scott.
I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you here.
Oh, a distinct pleasure to speak with you, Rush, over the many years I've listened and tried to get through, and today's the day.
Mark it on a calendar for me.
Thank you.
You bet, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, it was just getting back to your uh commentary the other day about the NAACP and Hispanic Federation protesting that uh Mayor Bloomberg was discriminating on the size of the soft drinks.
Well, now with prescription cigarettes, I think maybe they can have uh another group added into that category of discrimination.
The American Indians and the reservations, they're targeting them, I guess, unfairly because they can sell cigarettes uh what without taxes and uh now it's gonna hurt them.
Well, but I no, I it would probably help them.
I uh I don't think there's gonna be any change there.
And the the Indian reservation is continue to be permitted to sell cigarettes without taxes.
Because remember, oh, but we're talking about the cigar about the prescription aspect of it's gonna hurt their sales.
No, that I think they'll be oh, oh, oh, I see what you say.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
If the people who patronize the reservations and the casinos and sport to get their cigarettes from the from the Indian reservations, we need a prescription.
Yes.
That that is uh that is now there's a way around this.
The the the uh Indian reservations, the casinos, where wherever the the stores, wherever the uh they could have a doctor on site to just write a prescription at the medicine man and have him right there, just write the prescription whenever it's needed.
And what what's anybody gonna say?
Because remember, we mistreated the Indians.
This was their land.
We took it from them.
We still haven't paid them back for it.
We continue to be, we're trying to make amends.
There's no way this is gonna this this guy in uh in Oregon, I'm sure is not even thinking this shit.
When it's when it's brought to his attention, this could hurt Native Americans.
He'll come up, he'll come up with an exemption so that they're not hurt.
Or he'll allow them a doctor on site to write scripts.
But that's an excellent point that you're making.
It's a classic example, the unintended quant consequences of all the do-gooderism that uh that these guys come up with.
Gallup poll, galloping from just out.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen.
And it turns out we're not going crazy.
You and I are not going crazy.
Here's the headline to Gallup's latest polling data.
Obama's fourth year in office ties as the most polarized ever.
During his fourth year in office, an average of 86% of Democrats and 10% of Republicans approved the job Obama was doing.
That seventy-six percentage point gap between Democrat and Republican approval for Obama ties George W. Bush's fourth year as the most polarized years in Gallup records.
So we're not going this is a divided country.
It's as divided as ever.
It's as polarized as ever.
And it it makes me reference Rich Lowry's column at political today yet again.
Because we had all during the 2008 campaign and the last four years had people on our side, quote unquote, refusing to admit to acknowledge what Obama really is.
He's a pragmatist.
He's a centrist, he's seeking common ground.
None of that.
And the people of this country know it if the ruling class or the elites don't.
Most polarized presidential approval ratings ever.
Now that wouldn't be any big deal just by well, it would be a big deal by itself, but it's compounded by the fact that this guy said he's gonna be a big uniter.
Is it any wonder this country is royaled?
Is it any wonder there's a general tone of disquietedness and and and and upset?
No matter where you go in this country, people they know it's just not right.
This is this is not the way the country's always been.
It's not the way we deal with problems, it's not the way things get done.
Maybe can't put their finger on it.
It's not right.
But then the reaction is, well, what difference does it make?
At this point, what difference does it make?
I think Hillary Clinton is forever gonna regret saying that.
You know that Biden, who's revving up his presidential campaign even now, has already got his ad ready to go on that.
And whoever the Republican is, that that that line from what different and plus she didn't just say it in passing.
She was mad when she said it.
That was third or fourth wife mad when she said it.
What do you mean?
What difference does it make?
Here is uh Janice in Manhattan.
Hi, Janet's great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Ross.
Well, my friends and I have been doing a lot of what difference does it make.
And just offhand, what if during Watergate?
Nixon said, What difference does it make?
It's over.
But from now on, we'll make sure the break-ins to the DMC don't never happen again.
Whether it was a planned break-in or just a bunch of guys walking around that night and they decided to break into this office.
What difference does it make?
Exactly right.
What difference is it?
Can you imagine people?
And I I've heard people last night today said, Well, that's a great answer she gave, and that really shut the Republicans and that committee down.
She was ready for it.
That was a great strategic answer.
Mm-hmm.
And how about some other ones?
What difference does it make?
There were no weapons of mass destruction.
What difference does it make?
Oh, you thought they weren't there anymore.
Oh, that's even better.
That's that's better than the Watergate example.
What difference?
Can you imagine a Bush?
What difference it make there aren't any weapons of mass destruction?
Screw you.
I don't think that Gene What is that for the same thing.
That's what they wouldn't have gotten away with it.
You're exactly right.
And nobody would have been praising that as a brilliant strategic retort.
Uh that's uh Janice Janice, that's uh I uh let me j Janice, you know, I'm uh let me ask you a question.
You uh do you have an iPad or a uh uh iPhone?
Would you like either one?
Are you kidding me?
Nope.
Oh my God.
I th I was just going to I was just gonna tell you that I bought Apple stock when it went down and now I can't afford to get my iPad.
Oh my god, I'd love one an iPad.
At what price did you buy your Apple stock?
Well, I first bought it, my husband said, Oh, look, it's dropping.
Let's buy it.
It was 580 31.
And then when it dropped again last week, he said, Well, you know, maybe we can average it out.
So we bought it again at 48718.
So now it has to at least get back to 538.
It will in time.
You if you if you bought Apple at that price, you're looking at a long-term hold anyway.
Oh my gosh.
I still see what it is right now.
Apple right now is 454.
Uh but it went down.
I just checked it before and it was 455.
But you know, they do that with everybody.
They d uh uh the popular culture does that with actors or with singers.
They love love love somebody until everybody else loves them and then they have to destroy them.
Well, uh who is they in your example here when it comes to Apple.
Uh well, uh I guess people who don't like Apple, people who Yeah, but who is that?
Well, no, I'm just saying what you think.
Who is that when you say they don't like Apple, they're doing this who because I I know I think I know who it is.
I know I think I understand exactly what's going on here with Apple.
And if you read the tech blogs that I read, you'd under I it I I it it's astounding to me how much they're hated.
Really?
By a bunch of 24, 25 year old pimply faced, snarky little tech guys.
They're despised.
Why I don't but why is that?
They make such a great product.
I have a MacBook Pro and I absolutely like it if I want I I'm gonna tell you why.
Okay you now you're not gonna believe this.
Mm-hmm.
But I'll just in and in in one example.
The the the tech guys who think they know have been waiting for Apple to put what's called an NFC chip in the phone.
Near field communications.
The NFC chip is what you would allow uh what you'd make mobile payments with.
Apple has refused to put an NFC chip and the venom and the hatred every time a new phone comes out that it doesn't have the NFC chip, and these little snarky tech guys just absolutely blow gaskets and talk about how out of touch Apple is and how obstinate they are, and how arrogant and how condescending, and how they deserve a comeuppance and so forth.
That's just one of of hundreds of such examples.
Yeah, but Ross, remember what you always say.
It's not bragging if you can Do it.
And they do it.
Well, I know.
Apple I I think there's also, you know, Apple's the big guy.
They're successful.
And like you said, part of our culture is we build people up and then we rip them to shreds.
We just tear them down.
That's just it with sports stars, we do it with celebrities, like you've said, it it happens, and it happens with companies too.
But you've got all kinds of analysts on Wall Street who may be pushing a stock down to sell short.
There's any number of things, which all come within allowable constraints, allowable things given the uh the natures of capitalism.
But it's it's uh I it it it's it's when you have the most revenue ever, the fourth most profitable quarter ever, and the bottom falls out of your stock.
Um it's curious.
Now what they're saying is, well, Apple's salad days are over, and they haven't come out with a new defining product in a couple of years, and then nothing new, and and uh their their future profit isn't gonna be big, and their future revenue isn't gonna be big, and uh no Steve Jobs, all these things are getting thrown into the uh into the mix uh and and you got analysts on CNBC going on television, it's a wrecked company.
It's a broken company, and every tech company in the world would kill to be Apple.
Anyway, it's a fascinating thing for me to look at the way the uh the media, uh, in this case the the financial media, which is also leftist, uh and and and some of the uh uh stock market people are doing what they can to make this happen because they're just uh Stuart Varney is making fun of us.
You know, he's making fun of making fun of who?
Well, of the Apple uh stock owners.
You know.
Well, because he lost so much of Microsoft, so I guess he just we're getting our come up ins.
Yeah, okay.
Well, see, there's there's all kinds of that stuff too.
Human nature thought so you want you want an iPad.
You want to, oh my God, you can't imagine.
A big one or a mini.
I think the big one.
Okay.
Uh I'll send you a big one, and uh will you want uh Verizon or ATT?
It's got it with cellular radio in it, you can choose.
Now you don't know.
Well, I have ATT.
In fact, I'm grandfathered in on my phone, so then we'll send you one of those.
So hang on.
Hang on, we'll get your uh FedEx address, and you will have it tomorrow.
Oh, thank you so much.
You are more than welcome.
And sit time, we'll be back, folks, with much more don't go away.
Yeah, folks, I gotta give Apple stuff away as uh well, people still want it by next week.
Nobody's gonna want anything Apple makes.
Well, I just to give you an example.
Wall Street analysts.
And these are the people you've never met, these are people that advise consumers on how to invest their money.
The street.
Wall Street analysts got together and their consensus guess on the number of iPhones sold over the Christmas quarter was fifty million.
Between fifty and fifty-two million.
Apple sold about forty-eight million.
It's crisis panic time.
Oh no, the bottom's falling out.
Well, no, I don't know why these anal why they don't work at Apple.
They have no idea what's done uh they're just this is what they're expecting.
If Apple's going great guns, that's what's gonna happen.
If it doesn't happen, see Apple's not going great guns.
People say, oh my God, the analysts say then it's people start selling sock.
And then it gets even crazier than that.
Yeah, well, how many of those 48 million iPhones were iPhone 5s?
Maybe people don't even like the new iPhone.
They're buying the old ones.
Boy, Apple's really screwing up now.
People don't even want their new phone.
This is the kind of stuff that's out there.
And so none of these people have anything to do with that.
They're just media people.
So even though you might resent me talking about Apple, what we're talking about here's media.
And how media is able to influence things, particularly with people that don't know what's going on.
Once you listen to John Boehner.
This is yesterday in Washington.
He was at the Ripon Society, it's audio soundbite number seven.
We're expecting Europe uh over the next uh twenty two months uh to uh be the focus of this administration as they attempt uh to annihilate a Republican Party.
And let me just tell you I do believe that is their goal.
To just shove us into the dustbin of history.
Wow, I wonder what gave him this idea.
At any rate, five years into the game, the Republicans finally, at least they say they understand what they're up against now.
But Obama has been, his objective has been to obliterate or annihilate the Republican Party from the get-go.
Because his modus operandi is to eliminate all opposition.
That is what statists do.
He's not a small R Republican.
He doesn't believe in a constitutional republic.
Separation of powers.
That bothers him.
His whole objective has been to eliminate opposition.
From when he first ran for the state senate, it's been easy to see.
Nobody wanted to admit it, but I guess now they can't miss it or avoid it.
They have to face it.
And they are.
They asked Jay Carney what he thought about Boehner's comments, and Carney said, Well, I haven't spoken to the president about that, uh, but I know it's not his goal.
Yeah, it's not his goal is not to annihilate the Republican.
Of course not, Jay.
Of course, like you're actually going to admit it.
Anyway, folks, we have a straight ahead hour coming your way.
