Time Text
Ah, how are you?
Great to be with you, ladies and gentlemen.
Look forward to this each and every day.
Opportunity to be here, discuss all these crucially important and highly relevant matters.
Each and every day, and it's not time to panic yet.
People continue to ask the question.
I can't tell you specifically.
I just um I'm not, you know, I'm not into false hope, and I don't lie to myself.
I just have I don't know for I just can't believe we're gonna lose this country, and I don't believe we have it.
I just can't believe we're going to.
I just not while I'm alive.
I just don't see it happening.
I I know we're close and all that, and I'm not in denial here.
I'm really not.
I'm just I'm trying to be as honest with you as I can.
I don't know what's gonna stop this.
I don't know what what's gonna result in Obama not succeeding.
I just maybe it is blind faith, but it's not hope.
I'll tell you it's more than it's more than just Gosh, I hope something happens.
It's more than that.
I think there's gonna be, I don't know, awakening, a rebirth.
I don't know what.
That's why I'm here.
If you want to be on the program, it's 800 282-2882, the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
From the French news agency.
Oh, do you see what they're gonna do in France?
Starting soon, I think it's in July.
They gotta give people time to get ready for this.
This I'll tell you, this guy running France, 75% top tax rate, everybody leaving.
The most recent guy to leave is the guy that runs the giant conglomerate, LHMV or L VMH or LHVM, whatever it's Brno somebody.
I think I've even met this guy to cigar dinner.
I can't.
He's leaving the country.
He's a multi-billionaire.
He's leaving.
You're not gonna put up with it.
They're gonna this new French socialist president is mandating that every light in the city, I guess in the country, go off at 1 a.m.
Every light.
Stores inside uh the the uh street lights and so forth, every light's gotta go off one o'clock in the morning.
You can get dispensation for Christmas.
Uh certain holidays, but I mean it's truly draconian, and it's and it's all to save carbon to save the planet.
It's all about climate change.
It's all to make sure we don't put tons and tons and tons of carbon into the atmosphere.
And I want to present to you an alternative truth.
And that is the not the discovery, but but the taming, the development, all of the inventions and use of carbon is what propelled economic growth worldwide, vastly raised standards of living, propelled people to greatness, enabled so much good.
Carbon.
And now here comes the left wanting to tax it, people stop using it, take us back to the Stone Age.
And this guy in France is uh is is leading anyway.
The French news agency says that the more housework married men do, the less sex they have.
And this is according to the uh latest study that was published yesterday.
Husbands who spend more time doing traditionally female chores like cooking, cleaning, and shopping, reported having less sex than those who do more masculine tasks.
Said the study in the American Sociological Review.
I'm stopping to make a note to myself on this.
Because I don't want this happening to me.
I love this.
The more housework married Men do the less sex they have, and then husbands who spend more time doing traditionally female chores cooking, cleaning, shopping.
Traditionally female chores.
Oh, that's gonna tick some people off.
The author, lead author, Sabino Cornrich of the Center for Advanced Studies at the Juan March Institute in Madrid, said our findings suggest the importance of socialized gender roles for sexual frequency in heterosexual marriage.
Couples in which men participate more in housework, typically done by women, report having less sex frequently.
Sorry, having sex less frequently.
Similarly.
Couples in which men participate more in traditionally masculine tasks.
And by the way, what are those?
Well, it says here, yard work, paying the bills, auto maintenance, report higher sexual frequency.
I think I can weigh in on this.
Back when I lived in Kansas City, I had this, it was in my first house, it was actually a shack.
And it was uh it was in Overland Park, Kansas, and I had this neighbor.
And this guy, I don't know what he did for a living, because the only thing I ever saw him do was work around the if he was mowing the yard or fixing the roof, or tinkering around in the garage, or rebuilding the chimney, or laying new concrete for a sidewalk, or I mean never stopped.
The guy was constantly outside drinking beer while doing this.
Buddies would come down and they would help him, but constantly doing this handyman kind of stuff.
never stopped.
Okay.
And I didn't do any of that.
I hired it done.
I thought I get great credit for doing no no.
This guy was held out as some great Lothario.
This survey may have something to it.
Because if this guy had been taking out the trash and cleaning the house and so forth and all that, and doing the cooking, I doubt that he would have had the respect that he had in the neighborhood.
I mean, literally, this guy that's all he did.
Never quite got over it.
Also, ladies and gentlemen, there's some very unsettling celebrity news.
Uh RPATs and case do, it isn't working.
You you remember the uh problem that they had.
These are the two stars of the Twilight series.
Have you seen those movies, uh Rachel?
Your kid, you've seen one.
Well, what happened was that Kristen Stewart is 21 or 22.
She went out and she had an affair with a director, producer of some other movie that she was in.
And our patz, Robert Pattinson was crushed, he was devastated, he was destroyed.
He sold the house that they shared together somewhere in Hollywood Hills.
He moved out, she moved in with her biker mom, and it was it was heartbreak, folks.
I mean, Hollywood was turned upside down.
People were just dis were distraught.
So after some time they put it back together, at least publicly, by the time their movie, the latest uh Dracula movie came out last November, they went out and they did their joint red carpet stuff, and it looked like they were back together, and Hollywood was relieved, everybody was happy, our Pats and Case do back together, and she forever swore off that director.
That director's wife has since divorced him.
Liberty Bell, whatever her name was.
And now comes this news.
It's some radar online.
By the way, I I looked at radar online, I couldn't find anything about economic growth there.
There was no or wasn't anything on the Hegel nomination.
There was nothing on economic growth at Radar Online, uh, nothing on the fourth quarter contracting, nothing about gun control or uh uh immigration.
The lead story at Radar Online is this exclusive that Kristen Stewart is fuming at Robert Patton because he's not being attentive enough, and he's neglecting her.
He's over in Australia's filming a movie.
The time difference he's not texting her, he's not calling her, and she's distraught.
Um she thinks that he's neglecting her, according to the source here.
And uh she's told him he better check in more often.
And that she misses him and she thinks that he's, you know, messing around and ignoring her, not paying attention, playing hard to get, and she's already been through enough.
The source here said with Robert out of the country, a thousand miles away working in Australia, Kristen's been missing him badly.
The time difference, 18 and a half hours.
It's just it's a difficulty for him to speak.
And Hollywood's terribly distressed about this.
Very, very upset.
Justin Timberlake.
Oh no.
You know, Justin Timberlake, he married Jessica Beale.
That was supposed to be heaven on earth.
That's but Hollywood was ecstatic about that, all except for Cameron Diaz is jealous.
But she said no.
So Timberlake, he went dormant when it comes to singing and putting out albums.
Because he's not doing other stuff.
He's doing movies, he's opening Southern cooking stores, restaurants, dating Cameron Diaz and other women, finally settled on Jessica Beale, then went back to the recording studio.
First album in six years.
2020 experience comes out on March 19th.
He released a premier single to promote the album.
The name of the single suit and tie.
It has Jay-Z on it.
And it's bombing.
And now everybody's wondering why.
Is it because Jay-Z's on there, or is it because of the six-year absence, or is it because everybody wishes he'd married Cameron Diaz?
This is the stuff that low information voters are consuming today, and it's got them all in a tizzy, folks.
They're just between the case two and our pat stuff, and now Timberlake Single not doing well.
The low information voters are going to be tuning in tonight, Entertainment Tonight and TMZ, to find out if these people put it all back together.
And Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone, who's now 54, was dating a guy 27, and she's broken up.
His name was Martin Micah.
They date eight months.
And according to Radar Online, again, where I found nothing about the economy, nothing about gun control, nothing about immigration, but I found this.
Sharon Stone said, No, it's not the age difference.
I have no problem with that.
I like 27-year-old guys.
They got all kinds of energy.
I mean, I'm made for 27-year-old guys, she said.
The problem is that my passions are philanthropy, politics, and activism, and this 27-year-old kid's not into that.
All of his energy doesn't do me any good.
Because I'm interested in philanthropy politics and activists.
Sharon Stone and the 27-year-old guy broke it off after the holidays.
Sharon Stone too busy with her three sons in her professional life now to carry on a relationship.
This is the stuff that has the low information voter on edge today.
I just thought that you should know.
I don't know about you folks.
I I I just hate to see politics end such a beautiful relationship as Sharon Stone and Martin Micah.
I mean, she's 54.
He's 27, exactly half of her age.
And it's all because he's got plenty of energy for her.
That's what she likes, but not activism and politics and such.
Don't you just hate it?
When politics ends beautiful relationships.
I don't know if this guy doing yard work would help, Mike.
I uh uh mowing the lawn.
It could be, but too late now.
It's just it's a shame.
Not too late.
Maybe maybe our pets could tell Case do that's what he's doing over there, and that's why he can't text her.
It might help.
Never know.
We reported uh yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, Time Inc.
laying off 500 more employees.
They've been laying people off at regular intervals, and yesterday it was 500 new people laid off.
Six percent of the time incorporated staff.
One detail that we did not note.
Bain and company, the global management consulting firm where Mitt Romney once worked, was involved in the layoffs.
AdAge is reporting that one of Laura Lang's first moves as CEO was to call a top-to-bottom review facilitated by consultants from Bain and Company evaluating priorities, opportunities, and trouble spots.
So we can say that Romney was involved in laying off 500 people at time.
Well, they said Romney was in charge of stuff that Bain was doing when he's not there anymore.
All during the campaign, the Democrats, whatever happened at Bain Capitol, Romney did it.
Even the guy whose wife died from cancer.
Romney wasn't even there when that happened.
They blamed it on him.
So we can say that's karma.
Because now Bain Capital, which automatically means Romney was instrumental in 500 people at Time Magazine getting canned.
Or Time Inc.
I mean, this includes a bunch of people.
It could be People Magazine, Sports Illustrated.
You never know where they're coming from.
Here's uh here's Elise in in Maitland, Florida.
Hi, Elise.
I'm glad you called.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
Wow.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
My husband's gonna be very jealous.
I was speaking to you.
No.
Really?
Really?
Um I'm just responding to your comment about the survey they did about men who do domestic chores being uh not having as much sex as well.
Yes, that's right.
That's according to survey out of Madrid.
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, here's the reason.
Um men always say women they don't have women say they're too tired to have sex, so now men are too tired to have sex if they're doing the same chores the women were doing.
Is that how is that how it works?
I I interpreted it a different way.
How did you do do it?
You tell me if I'm wrong.
I'm being dead serious about I'm I'm you I'm gonna catch grief for I probably shouldn't say.
Go ahead.
Okay, what's the premise?
The premise is that men who do what the survey says, not me, what the survey says is traditionally female work.
Uh-huh.
Get less sex.
Okay, to me that means their spouses have less respect for them.
If they can con them into doing the ironing and the washing and the cooking and the laundry and whatever else, it means they got them wrapped around their little finger, they're no longer a challenge, it isn't any fun anymore.
It isn't any big deal.
Nothing to do with getting tired.
Uh, well, we look at it in different ways now.
Okay, so I'm not right.
In your case, that would not be true, right?
Is that what you're saying?
It could be, but I I think it's just as much that the men aren't having enough getting enough sex because they're too tired.
If they're doing their jobs right anyway.
Okay.
All right.
But I want you to be honest.
Well, no, it's not fair.
Never mind.
I'm not going to put you in that position.
Okay.
You've already you've already disagreed with me, and so that's that's that.
Um are you saying men's chores are easier?
Like the the like mowing the yard and uh uh fixing the car, auto maintenance, those are less tiring endeavors than ironing and laundry and uh cleaning the house.
Not to hear a man say it.
No, they're they're much, much more difficult.
Oh, what you're saying is that women always say, sorry, honey, too tired, and what they're doing is housework.
So I see it's it's it's karma coming back.
I got you.
I got you.
Right.
Okay.
Elise, thanks for the call.
Appreciate it.
Ashland, Wisconsin, it's Brian, you're next.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet's my pleasure.
I was sitting there, I'm so happy here.
You know, I just figured out here that I don't know how many time spouses are gonna die because of Mitt Romney now.
Romney didn't care when people's wives died.
And I wonder if any spouses die because of time layoffs.
We can blame Romney for it.
Well, we'll see.
I'm just thinking ahead, that's what I do.
Anyway, what's up?
I'm gonna give up housework uh after your last uh segment there.
But what I wanted to comment on was the GDP uh the contraction of the GDP and APC and it's allocated method for measuring growth.
And I think what I'm viewing is we're approaching this uh um capitalism versus sustainability and uh sustainability mandates that we have zero growth.
So they are uh achieving their goal, the fundamental transformation of America is zero growth.
Interesting.
They're after sustainability.
Right.
It's easier to sustain something that isn't growing, and therefore no growth is something they're actually happy, meaning the Democrats, the the American left.
Right, right.
And it's an anti-capitalist uh uh pro sustainability.
I guess the thing is technology, it's like a prevent defense.
Well, Brian, when you stop and think about let's let's let me be serious about this.
Well, you stop and think about it, as and I I've said this countless times, mathematically, it is impossible for the private sector to grow given Obama and Democrat Party policies.
It simply can't.
Growth is when the private sector expands.
The pie, the money, the money supply, the private sector grows, the economic output, goods and service grow.
It can't, because Obama's taking more of it.
Higher taxes, more regulations, more borrowing, more printing, inflation.
The private sector is shrinking by virtue of policy.
It can't possibly grow.
And as such, I think you're right, that is the objective of Obama policy.
And so GDP is a bad measure now, the AP says.
Okay, we're back.
L. Rushbo here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Have you seen any of Al Gore's interviews as he promotes his new book?
I don't even know what the title of the book is.
But this guy, I was looking to see if we had any audio.
We don't, but we can get some for tomorrow.
Al Gore is being savaged.
He's being savaged, he got savaged by Letterman.
I didn't know Letterman knew enough to savage Al Gore.
He got savaged by by by Mount Wauer on the Today Show.
See, Gore's got his is the only sycophant in the media so far that that's been over and Grammy Ankles for Gore is Anriah Mitchell.
NBC News in Washington.
When she interviewed Gore, she said, do we have time in terms of global warming?
Do we have time?
All these other people are dumping on him left and right for selling out his TV network to Al Jazeera.
They can't believe it.
Here's a guy who's built his career.
And they're right, by the way.
He has made his fortune trashing oil.
He has made his fortune, fortune, literally belittling oil.
He has made people hate oil the way the left has made people hate Republicans.
And he sells out to an oil state.
And they're calling him hypocritical.
You know, it's one thing for Al Gore to start his liberal network and have it not succeed and maybe sell it to some other good-hearted liberal.
He sold it to an oil state, not a company, but a state cutter.
It's not that they're Islamists.
It's not that they're Muslims, is that they're an oil state.
And so they look at Al Gore as a sellout and a hypocrite, and they're calling him on it.
And he's choosing where to go.
He's trying to choose friendly places, and even these friendly places, like I say Letterman, who I don't think I didn't know Letterman knew that there was a cutter.
Somebody must have told him for the questions.
So we'll try to get some of the sound.
Also, I want to take you back your memory.
Jake Tapper, now a CNN, but was with ABC News, did an interview with Clinton on January 31st, 2008.
This is before Obama was elected.
This is during the 2008 campaign.
Bill Clinton said back then we just have to slow down our economy to fight global warming.
It was in a speech, Jake Tapper reported, and Clinton characterized what America and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming.
He said the best thing that could happen for global warming is a recession.
That's right.
I mean, if we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions, it will we'll save our planet for our grandchildren.
And lo and behold, it's what's happening.
We are shrinking our economy for your grandchildren.
We are saving the planet for your grandchildren.
Your grandchildren blame you for destroying the climate.
Your grandchildren and your kids blame you.
And Clinton came along and fed that thought and advocated a recession in order to save the planet.
And here we are.
We're in the middle of a four-year recession, in truth.
I mean, not statistically the way it's measured, but for all in practical purposes in terms of reality, we're in a four-year recession with the uh with the economy shrinking.
Is Gore's book really titled Don't Do As I Say.
That can't be.
If that's true, if that well, they're out there trying to say the Lance Armstrong story was hypocrisy on steroids.
How about Al Gore?
He literally has become a multi-millionaire, three-figure, hundred-plus millionaire trashing oil.
I take it back.
Andrew Mitchell did hit Gore on the hypocrisy of making money, trashing oil, and selling his TV network to Al Jazeera.
But she also did then suck up by asking him if we have time to save the planet.
Here's uh Chris in Casper, Wyoming.
Great to have you, sir on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Russ, for taking my call over 20 years dittoes to you.
Thank you.
Um a comment and a question after, if I may.
Yeah.
Um, I disagree with the caller that says there's no hope and nothing can be done.
My sixth removed great grandfather is Robert Morris, the financier of the revolutionary war, he died in the pauper's printed prison penniless.
So I was always taught you work harder and faster than everybody else.
And I'm a builder developer, self-made.
2010 with millions in debt and almost crashed because of the election.
I got investors to believe in me.
I worked harder and faster.
I'm now out of debt and have an opportunity for another subdivision.
I think we are doing it.
Um we have to fight harder.
And we have Marco Rubio.
We have people.
My brother-in-law is a commissioner here in our county.
My daughter, who's 24, is incredible.
She's running in the next term.
We are I've got Hispanics that work for me.
I had them turned around and they voted for Romney because we went through and we worked through it.
We read the Constitution.
You have we we're a nation of fighters, and morality is the only thing that matters.
And we have to teach our kids that.
And if we're not doing it in our own communities, I mean it there is hope.
Well, I think we are.
I see I happen to agree with you.
I uh what Obama's doing is devastating this country, and millions and millions and millions see it.
There were sixty-four million who didn't vote for Obama.
The 2010 elections prove that we have not lost the country.
The problem is, and you nailed it, there isn't effective political conservative slash Republican leadership right now.
That's that's what's absent.
If if that were president was somebody that were articulate, inspiring, uh, infectious, and that'll happen at some point.
Maybe maybe Rubio, I don't know.
But it is happening.
You just pointed out the things that you're doing in Wyoming in your in your state, your neighborhood, your community, your business.
That's where all of these uh opposition Items, things are taking place.
They're not being reported on uh to any great extent, but they're happening.
Uh people leaving the state of California, for example, because of taxes.
There's there's all kinds of indication out there that uh uh a number of Americans have had enough and are fighting back in their hallway, just like you are.
And can I just ask you one question?
Quickly, yeah.
My my son Luke, when he was five, he's now twenty-three, and he's a graduate and a brilliant young man.
When we were listening on the radio years ago on the job site, said, Can we invite Rush to lunch?
I said, Well, I really can.
He goes, Well, you can at least ask.
So I tried for 15 years to get through, and I just want to tell him that I'm inviting you to lunch.
And I'm going to tell my son Luke that I fulfilled my obligation, maybe almost 20 years later.
All right.
Well, I appreciate that.
I'm flattered that you would want me to come eat lunch with you with you and your family.
Thank you very much.
I don't eat lunch, as you know, because I'm on the air during lunch, but uh I I still I nevertheless appreciate the invitation.
Thank you, and you tell him I appreciate it.
Okay, Rush.
Take care and keep doing the work you're doing.
Thank you, Chris, very much.
At the White House today, the White House press briefing.
You know, the the the regime shut down their jobs council today.
They met four times in four years.
This is the thing that Jeffrey ML, the C uh of GE, the CEO of GE was in charge of.
And Obama just punted, just canceled it.
Because the job's been done.
And so at the press briefing today, the reporters actually were curious about this.
One reporter said to Jay Carney, how can you not paint this as a failure of the jobs council?
It's not sound like 27.
Like this is what Carney said.
It was created for two years, like PRAB, and its charter expires.
And the work that the jobs council did was uh very helpful.
Some of the somewhat ridiculous criticisms about this, uh they come from people on Capitol Hill who have consistently opposed every growth initiative and job creation initiative the president's put forward.
Time after time, Republicans have opposed it.
Oh my god, it's a little ironic to hear from those who with great fervor embraced the policies that helped create the worst economic crisis of our own.
Stop the tape.
Who resisted the policy?
This is Pukeville.
So I guess the reason that there are no new jobs ethics is the Republicans.
Republicans have opposed every growth initiative, every job creation initiative the president's put forward.
That is an out and out lie.
The mathematics is such that the economy cannot grow.
Obama's taking too much money out of it.
Taxes, spending, regulations, it can't grow, and it isn't.
It's contracting.
And he hasn't put forth any jobs bills.
They might have called them that, but there weren't it.
Anyway, it's the Republicans' fault.
See that?
The Republicans have stopped.
The Republicans spent all that money back in December, it led to the collapse of the economy.
And now this Republicans opposing every jobs bill.
And a reporter said, but Jay, isn't it also a little ironic to say in the context of the economy haven't contracted that the jobs council was a success?
We have had sustained economic growth now for three years.
We have had 54 months, I believe it is, of job creation.
Two million jobs in uh the last year alone.
We have a lot of work to do.
But if the comparison, and you know, I I encourage it, you know, those who uh are inclined to go back and look at the history.
All right, stop the tape.
Look it.
He just got through saying the Republicans stopped every jobs bill.
That they made sure that there wasn't any economic growth.
Every growth initiative, every jobs initiative, the Republicans shot down.
And yet, we've been growing for three years.
Two million jobs in the last year alone.
This guy.
The uh Reverend Dax just now suggested the solution to our economic problems is for the federal government to go get all the money in everybody's pension plans.
Over six trillion dollars.
Reverend Jackson's been proposing this since the 1980s.
He's back with it again.
You have been warned.
I wonder if the jobs council people are going to get unemployment compensations they've been laid off.
I'm just wondering.
Open line Friday tomorrow.
Already, ready to go.
