Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 Podcast.
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across.
They're fruited plain.
Time for another three big broadcasting hours from the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number 800 28282 in the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
So ladies and gentlemen, um I justn't even been an hour yet.
I um I told Greta Van Sestron that I would sit down for an interview with her in the studio for her Fox television show.
She has been asking me for the past week, and I said no.
And she kept asking, and I said, no, I don't like television.
I said, no, I don't want to be on TV.
And finally, I'd get up at seven in the morning, and it'd be two emails from Greta saying, please, please.
I had to do it to stop the emails.
So I did it.
And she just did an hour and twenty minutes, nonstop.
That there might have been what how many questions uh did she ask?
Five or six or seven.
I mean, the thing about Greta is that she lets me go.
She asks a question and then takes the rest of the show off.
And so I I'm I'm never short changed.
Uh in fact, there were a couple of instances where I thought, you know, I've got diarrhea of the mouth going here.
I just need to stop.
Oh, wasn't that.
Um anyway.
She's got I don't know when is going to air.
I think it's tonight.
She it's tonight.
She's got at least two shows.
Well, minimum two shows, because you know, an hour on cable news is about 40 42 minutes.
And this was an hour and 20, nonstop.
It was not, you know, live to tape would have been if we stopped for commercial breaks.
They didn't do that.
It was a straight hour and 20 minutes.
Anyway, the reason I'm telling you this, of course, is to hype it and promote it.
It's nothing, I'm gonna be very honest with you, it's nothing that you all haven't heard, but there is something to seeing it said on TV.
What are you frowning at me about?
I'm just telling the audience.
Snerdly saying, No, you shouldn't tell them, Ned, because you always say something different on T. Well, okay, I'll allow for that.
But I mean, the the thrust of it, you all have uh have heard.
So I mean, I'm just trying to be honest with you, but it's it's uh it is what it is.
She's been promoting it a lot.
My my reason, other than hyping it, tell you this, is that it totally interrupted show prep today.
About all I've got here in my stack of stuff is wiener.
Well, that's all I've had a chance to go through.
I mean, I've got more than that here, but I've I mean this is I got here a little early, and I tried to get some early show prep done, and I succeeded in getting some of it done, but I didn't have access to any of it.
You know, I I print it all that I like, and but the the printer, the whole room had been torn apart for this.
Well, the the wieners stack is growing.
His fortunes are shrinking.
In fact, there's uh there's a there's a piece here by Tina Brown where uh there's two things here that are actually interesting.
There's a piece by by Tina Brown in which she uh she says we gotta stop with all the dickmanship.
Yeah, here it is.
Tina Brown shares her thoughts on what she calls dickmanship.
Yeah, we gotta get rid of it.
So she's she's yeah, and and then folks, are you ready for this?
Let me find this so I have to paraphrase this.
I'm really sorry.
I'm I'm I'm not as organized as I normally am because I had an hour and twenty actually it was longer now because they had to do makeup And all that.
So I've had actually two hours probably of show prep taking.
Yeah.
HR says, we can tell you, Miss TV.
78% of young women approve of Wiener.
This is a poll.
SugarDaddy dating website, SeekingArangement.com found that 78% of female clients between 18 and 26 approve of Wiener.
Now stick with me on this.
These are the women, 24-year-olds who are scared to death by me.
24-year-old girls scared because, of course, I'm forceful in my opinions.
I'm confident.
I'm self-assured, and that frightens them.
That is threatening.
But these same women, 78% of young women approve of Wiener.
I don't know about older women because this site didn't ask anybody but this age group.
And it's the it's the clients of this website, Seeking Arrangement.com.
It's a sugar daddy dating website, Snerdly.
This is not a standard political poll.
Now, here's the thing about this.
In reality, this is not that hard to believe or understand if you put it in context with the experience that young women are having on universities these days.
Universities are 65% female enrollment.
The guys, 35% of the male enrollment are either metrosexual or gay, and just want to hook up when they feel like it.
And we've had stories about the female population of college and it's white women leading the way on these hookups.
And it is these women by a 78% margin that approve of Wiener.
Because he's no different, and what he did is no different than what their daily experience is.
Sexting, hooking up.
They don't see.
By the way, this is not a joke, folks.
And I'm not saying this represents the mainstream young women population.
This is of a particular website called Seeking Arrangement.com.
It's a what this website does, it connects wealthy patriots patrons with attractive clients, and they surveyed 18,000 of their female members.
This is not a poll with a relative sample of 1,200 or so.
18,000 members of this sugar daddy dating site, 63% of all women surveyed approved of Weiner, the highest approval rating in the 18 to 26 demographic, and that was 78%.
Now, in the experience that a lot of women on college camp I are having today, that's not that hard to understand.
It's part of the changing America.
And it is changing.
HR, I need to ask you a question.
HR just uh said something in my IFB about we're getting the idea that you really like TV.
What would you mean by that?
Did I sound like I'm com I know, but does it sound like I'm complaining about this?
Oh, oh yeah, well, it was it did interrupt, but but that was my show prep day, but I'd I'd rather do that than stay here after the program and not get out of here until the last thing I want to do after three hours is to try to act like I haven't said anything yet and be because I knew it was going to go over uh longer than an hour.
So uh anyway, you know, I had a lot of suck ups, folks, that that hang around me here, and they've all said that it's good.
They all said, and there are a couple little funny things I fully expect one of them to be edited out.
Um, she asked me what I thought of what a certain Fox host said about something, and I didn't know what it was.
I said, Well, what did he say?
Now I'm sure they'll edit that out.
But when she told me what it was, it was nothing that I've been talking about for 25 years.
Speaking of that, let's go to Audio Sunday 15.
You know, the she one of the things that came up was the uh the Limbaugh theorem.
She asked me about the phony scandals and what I thought of the phony scandals.
And no, no, you're looking at this the wrong way.
You've got to look at what is the purpose in Obama calling them phony scandals.
You know, why is he on the campaign trail?
I embarked upon an in-depth explanation of the Limbaugh theorem to her, and uh she gave me a lot of time to uh to go into this.
And I just give you an example.
This is uh last night's special report with Brett Ba.
And they're talking uh it's during the all star panel.
And this is Krauthammer talking about Obama's recent push to focus on the economy.
I find it astonishing that he goes around making speeches in which he deplores the state of the economy, the growing income inequality, chronic unemployment, staggering middle class income, and he's it's as if he's been a bystander, as if he's been out of the country for the last five years.
It's his economy.
He's the president.
He's talking as if this is the Bush economy, or I don't know, the Eisenhower economy, and he just arrived in a boat and he discovers how bad the economy is.
This is a result of the policies he instituted.
Now I explained this to Greta.
I said uh back in February.
I came across a story in the New York Times.
Greta, something has puzzled me for four years.
This is the first president who has never been held accountable for his policies.
This is the first president who remains unattached to his own agenda.
This is the first president who has gotten away with making it look like other people are doing what he's doing.
And I said, How can this be?
I said, I've been struggling with this for four years.
Trying to understand, I said it's more than just the slavish media.
And then I cited to her the New York Times story in February.
Just ahead of Obama's State of the Union address tonight, new polls find continued public dissatisfaction with the direction of the country.
Yet support for several of the policies the president has said he will push in his second term.
A new CBS poll found the economy remains the public's chief concern with fewer than half of Americans approving of Obama's handling of it.
Most Americans also say the president lacks a clear plan for solving the problems.
54% say the country's on the wrong track, and yet six in ten say that it is likely the president will bring about significant changes.
So when I read that, it all it suddenly became clear to me.
So I devi I devolved or evolved, created the Limbaugh theorem back in February, and I have been explaining it since then.
Other people in the media are just now realizing it.
Like Crowdhammer here.
So I spent a lot of time, well, not a lot, but I mean, for a TV interview, it was a lot of time explaining how it is that Obama gets away with remaining unattached to his own policies that are causing all of this misery.
And I went in and I told her that's why he's on a perpetual campaign.
He's always campaigning against.
He's never seen his governing.
So this was good because it's not been said on TV like this.
So we'll be out there.
And there were a couple of um added points to it and so forth.
Anyway, I'm sure it's gonna start tonight, and she's got she's got eighty, eighty-five minutes.
And I don't think she's gonna edit much of it.
So anyway, we've got lots to do.
I was just joking.
I've got more than a wiener uh stack.
I do have other things.
Plus, we're gonna have your phone calls.
And Snerdley wants to know on the Sugar Daddy website, uh, how much loot does it take to be a sugar daddy.
See, Snurley, if you have to ask that, then you you can't be one.
Greetings and welcome back.
El Rushbow, the mayor of Realville.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Well, it's another day and another story on Alex Rodriguez.
Major League Baseball sources are saying that the suspension of Alex Rodriguez, known popularly as A Rod is imminent.
Is it going to be for more than the rest of the season?
Is it going to be for all of next season?
Is it going to be a lifetime ban?
Is Rodriguez going to be paid?
The remaining 60 to 80 million dollars on his contract.
Do the Yankees want to get rid of him altogether?
Will Rodriguez strike a deal to try to limit the terms of the suspension?
Or will Rodriguez file suit against baseball and take it all to the courts?
Nobody knows.
Those are all the possibilities, and those are the possibilities every day, and nothing happens.
Just continued speculation.
Now, yesterday I'm I mentioned a comment in a sort of throwaway fashion.
And it was we had a caller who was asking me.
I forget the specific issue, was asking me about.
But it was it was something where for years Washington, both parties have been saying something.
And then when the opportunity comes to them to back it up, all of a sudden they don't.
And I was explaining about how it's 25 years of doing this program.
Things are starting to repeat now.
And starting to learn when politicians have said things they don't really mean is a great example of it here.
I remember the first, when I first started driving, which would have been 1967, gasoline was 28 cents, maybe 25 cents a gallon.
And in the early 70s, maybe 1970, 71, I remember before I'd left home, was the first so-called shortage.
And the price skyrocketed overnight to 50 cents a gallon.
And that percentage increase was huge.
Fifty cents was still cheap, but it was double.
It was amazing.
And then left home, went to Pittsburgh.
Nixon puts wage and price controls on.
There's more gasoline and oil shortages, and there are lines and so forth.
And at about that time we started hearing the mantra, we got to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
And we've heard that from every candidate for every office for 40 years.
We got to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Obama has said it.
Every Republican has said it.
While our imports continued to grow, we've got to reduce our imports and our dependence on foreign oil.
And we kept ramping up the relationship with the royal family of Saudi Arabia.
And we bailed Kuwait out when Saddam attacked them.
And it was all about, I know what it was, all about maintaining the free flow of oil at market prices.
But during this whole thing, every politician in the world or in the country kept saying we got to change this.
We've got to rid our dependence.
It's a national security issue.
It's an economic issue.
We are allowing ourselves to be held hostage.
And of course, all it was true.
And then we got treated to stories About how our domestic reserves were plummeting.
We simply did not have our own supply of oil underground that we could get, at least cheaply or affordably.
And so policies were divided, and politicians kept getting elected, kept running on and kept getting elected on this notion that we have to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Well, now, the last three or four years, we've had a chance to do that in a major way, a number of major ways.
And we're not doing it.
And the same people who would campaign on that slogan and made us believe they meant that slogan.
Now, when it's time to make that slogan reality, there is no desire to do it.
Wonder why.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Okay, I mentioned this in passing yesterday.
The Saudi prince.
Thank you.
Prince Al Walid Ben Talal.
Saudi Prince, he's a big investor in News Corp, by the way.
Rupert Murdoch's company owns the Fox News Channel.
Billionaire Prince Al Walid bin Talal has warned that his nation is under threat because of fracking technology being developed elsewhere around the world.
He said the Gulf Arab Kingdom needed to reduce its reliance on crude oil and diversify its revenues.
His warning comes as rising shale energy supplies in the U.S. cut global demand for Saudi oil.
And you see, the Keystone Pipeline was the first thing that illustrated this.
Here is.
We've got every one of these politicians, including Obama, saying we've got to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Keystone Pipeline, Obama, no.
No way.
And the excuses are flimsy at best.
Well, you know, pollution, a chance that the pipeline would leak, leading to further climate change, global warming.
The real truth was that his wacko environmental nutcase leftists would penalize him, get mad at him, not donate.
But he doesn't need that.
He doesn't want an oil-based economy.
Obama is totally opposed to that.
That's why all this cylindra and wind and solar and all this stuff.
It's just it's absurd.
Point is this country has shale oil reserves that can be reached via fracking that would render us energy independent.
There is an oil boom.
I can never remember which ones.
One of the Dakotas.
There is an oil boom.
There is an economic boom taking place.
Because of shale oil.
What is happening in this state?
I think it's South Dakota, but I'm not sure.
I always get them confused.
Whatever.
It's a blueprint for how to revive this economy.
Revive this economy around energy.
We're nowhere near getting rid of fossil fuels.
We're nowhere near being able to replace them, nowhere near them.
And by the way, we're nowhere near depleting the world's supply of fossil fuels.
It's a gold mine.
It's an opportunity waiting to happen.
Now we've been electing people for 40 years on the notion that they say we got to end our dependence on foreign oil.
Here's a chance to do it, and they don't want to.
Why, folks?
Prince Al-Walid bin Talal is essentially sending out a warning.
You better not get into fracking, he's saying.
You better not.
We can render the Middle East oil supplies irrelevant to us.
Whoever has oil is never going to be irrelevant, but they could be to us.
Now, granted, we need a foothold in the Middle East militarily because of the unrest there.
But it just strikes me how often politicians say things they know are popular, populist in nature.
And then whenever the opportunity to actually accomplish it or act on it presents itself.
Something always happens and we can't do it.
Now we're not talking about replacing oil.
So it's not that the oil companies are involved in some conspiracy.
It's not the automobile manufacturers would be harmed.
We're talking about really ramping up our own domestic supply of oil.
Story is that we've got more oil that is now gettable at market prices than a lot of places around the world.
And yet there are people who still want to continue our dependency on uh on foreign oil.
All the while claiming it's just the exact opposite that they want.
And I decide when the Saudi Prince, Al Waleed Ben Talal, says that fracking is a threat to his kingdom.
He's telling the truth.
Absolutely right.
You want to be scared.
You want to be.
Do you know what fear is?
You think you know what fear is.
I'm gonna tell you what fear is.
I'm going to tell you something that's going to make you live fear.
The Congressional Black Caucasians have recommended Sheila Jackson Lee be the new secretary for Homeland Security.
I am not joking.
I am scared to de No, I am not.
Just two weeks after Big Sis announced her resignation, the Congressional Black Caucasians have suggested Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston to fill the spot.
A letter dated July 25th, signed by Representative Marsha Fudge, Democrat from Ohio, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucasians, urges Obama to consider Sheila Jackson Lee, calling her a voice of reason that the agency could stand to gain.
Representative Sheila Jackson Lee would serve as an effective secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security.
Well, what more do you need in a secretary for Homeland Security?
Somebody that understands border security and maintaining security.
Wow.
This is a woman who doesn't even know that she's looking at the m at the planet Mars when she looking at it.
Oh well.
To the phones we go, Jesse, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
It's great to have you, and you're up first today.
Welcome.
Hey, Ross, how are you?
Very good.
Thank you.
But I want to get right to the point.
I was listening to what you were talking about earlier, that survey of women that was done talking about the 78% of that demographic that like Anthony Wiener.
And the thing that's frustrating for me is you also comment that these are the same women that are also afraid of you or don't like you.
And it's very simple.
I don't think that they're afraid of you.
What they're afraid of is Anthony Winger represents someone who's narcissistic, not the brightest light on the tree, but also an easy mark.
Where these same women that like him, they like him because these are the kind of in their own life that they would grab, take advantage of to get whatever they can out of them instead of taking care of themselves and use them for what they what they need.
Just like his wife is standing by him because she wants what's coming to her.
The reason they don't like you is they know that you would see right through them, and they can never use you as so it's not even a question that they're afraid of you.
They just don't like the fact that they can't use somebody like you.
And I get frustrated because I have to think that there's other women out there that completely agree with me.
Anthony Weiner is not someone to be upheld, proud of, or anything.
He's just a pathetic figure that these young women attach to because it's like, I'd want a man like that in my life.
This this wiener stack is hilarious because the Clintons are losing it over this.
The Clintons are really every day, they're getting madder and madder over being compared to the wieners.
They're even now getting mad at Huma.
The long knives are out for Huma on this, which I thought I would never see from the Clintons.
But back to your theory.
Do you really believe that 24-year-old women don't like me because they don't think they could control me?
Absolutely.
There's a lot of young women, and I've known a lot of them growing up where they would rather latch on to a guy that's going to take care of them that they can manipulate.
Now wait a minute, a 24-year-old woman's not looking to latch on to me.
Oh, believe me, I have 38-year-old friends that are my age that are still looking to latch on to guys.
What I'm saying is that it's not that they want to latch on to you.
You represent everything that they don't like.
You represent the strength in a man and the fortitude, a hard worker, but by the same token, you're not going to be taken advantage of.
You're going to care for someone that you love and have an equal partnership, but you're not going to allow somebody to take advantage of you.
That's what they don't like.
Really?
It goes that deep, huh?
I think a lot of women are out there that don't want to work hard and don't want to be self-sufficient and be an equal partner.
I never chalked it up to that.
I I to the extent that I believed it, I chalked it up to the fact that that these women that are being spoken about, the 24-year-old women, just they don't like somebody so damn sure of himself.
Somebody seems black and white.
They want somebody who's touchy and feely and uh open to compromise or what you know.
I I don't know how to do it.
But um but uh but I'm I'm I'm told that they think that that I'm I'm too forceful that I'm threatening with my demeanor and my attitude.
I don't know threaten what, but that uh and it's not just me, by the way, in the in the instances in which I've been told, it's anybody, any conservative who gets passionate scares them.
The passion just scares them.
Because nobody's supposed to be that sure of themselves.
Nobody's supposed to have it figured out.
Nobody.
It represents close-mindedness when you're that sure of yourself.
And that's why I'm told that I'm considered a threat.
Because my confidence and self-assuredness equals closed-mindedness.
Loud, shouting, yelling, closed-mindedness.
And it scares them.
So doesn't matter.
They think wiener is cool.
And it fits.
It fits with the modern experience of college-age women, the hookup culture.
Uh by the way, on this wiener business.
Uh the top of my head, 24% of African Americans think Wiener's cool.
Twenty-four percent actually fine.
Now, how different is what Wiener does than what is rapped about in hip hop.
Wiener may be cool in that regard.
Folks, the country is changing.
It is really Yeah, yeah, Wiener's very You think 24% is low in the black community alike in Wiener?
Yeah.
Well, it could mean that 76% don't.
I mean, you got a factor that some don't know who he is at the same time.
It's not all of them.
You know, our caller may have a point.
The UK Daily Mail, Wiener exclusive, wiener's sexting partner, offered sex for cash and bragged about milking sugar daddies that she called super pathetic for thousands of dollars.
Now this this this is the leathers woman.
She 22.
She's 22, and she's admitting that what's attractive about these sugar daddies is they can be manipulated.
And she there's a she got a thousand dollars out of one of these guys for just a half hour.
And she said these older guys, particularly the married guys who've been beaten down are the easy marks.
Older, beaten down married guy, they're the easiest marks.
She's twenty-two, and sh it doesn't say, just says boast of earning a thousand dollars just thirty minutes with one sugar daddy.
I don't know if it's sexting, texting, or if it's actually in the room with the sugar daddy doing a nasty.
I don't know.
Doesn't say didn't read it far enough, doesn't matter.
The point is that it proves the point of the caller that this young woman is looking at a man she can manipulate and score money off of I think in the case of these women that I'm told about, I think it's just it's the uh Wiener Wiener dated a political blogger.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He dangled.
He dangled a job at the politico.
He said, You give me what I want here and I can get you a job at the political.
You know, and he probably could.
I mean these people.
Monica got a job, maybe if I did.
It was a thousand dollars for a Lewinsky.
Just read the stories.
The letters may have got a thousand dollars in thirty minutes for a Lewinsky.
Here's Eric in Pittsburgh.
Eric, great to have you, EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, sir.
I just got three quick things.
I'll be less than thirty seconds.
Um first off, I wanted to say thank you.
I've been about a five year listener.
Um I got engaged in politics around as soon as Obama got elected in uh oh eight.
Um I really started engaging, but I wanted to say when you went on on uh credit of ancestor, and I think that's the best thing you could have done to show these younger generation, you know, what the truth is out there.
A lot of these people, these younger kids, uh, just like Wiener, they look at it it's like a cool thing.
They think Wiener's cool, you know, yep, it's in style.
But you know what?
These people don't even have a clue about the politics, and it's gonna bite them.
That's what I'm afraid of.
You know, it's gonna be too late.
I know what you mean.
Yep, yep, I know exactly what you mean.
So um but other than that, I I think you're doing an outstanding job.
Um I couldn't ask for anything more out of you.
Well you've really reached out a lot of younger people, like I said.
You know, I'm not a stupid person.
You know, I went to college, got my bachelor's, you know, but I didn't know anything about politics until I started watching you.
And I think a lot of younger people really don't know, and they just look at the cool thing.
Oh, they don't.
They don't.
It's it starts in the education system.
It starts with parents uh who aren't politically aware or interested.
And uh pretty safe to say that conservatism does not have a presence in pop culture.
Uh conservatism is in fact impugned, it's laughed at, made fun of in um in pop culture.
I thought one of the things I did, I don't know how it's gonna look.
But I I looked in the camera and I said, if I could just reach out of this TV set and grab you and shake you by the shoulders, and convince you of one thing, it would be that everything the Democrat Party does is political.
You people who claim to not like politics, you've got to under everything they do, is oriented toward advancing a political agenda.
And that if you could recognize that, The more people that would see the Democrats for who they really are, these people play profess to have no interest in politics and don't like it, are being totally dominated by it unknowingly.
Anyway, I don't want to give the whole thing away, and I can't anyway, because you have to see it.
But and now I've got to take a break.
So sit tight, folks.
We'll be back much more straight ahead.
I think another way to express this uh don't like somebody that sure of themselves.
What that really means is that there isn't a right and wrong.
Everything's open to interpretation, that there is no right and wrong.
