Rush Limbaugh - Timeless Wisdom

RUSH: This is Merit in Dayton, Ohio, nice to have you on the program.

CALLER: Hi, Rush, I actually just wanted to thank you. I am a wife and sister of two Army soldiers. My brother served through tours in Afghanistan and my husband is now in Iraq, set to do a year, and it’s just nice to know that there are other people going over there and telling them that they’re doing a great job and that we’re all ready for them to come home and that we love ’em and we support ’em and they’re doing the right thing.

RUSH: Thank you. They are special people. It was an honor to be able to talk to them and convey what I think to be the majority sentiments of the people in this country. But I want to tell you, when we were at Kandahar? Kandahar is the place where there still are skirmishes going on. There was mortar fire the night we were there — nowhere near us but at the base. The base is huge. One of the things that I noticed when I had that troop event is that these people would all tell me what an “honor it was” to meet me, and I thank them, but I’m honest here, folks: I can’t tell you how small I felt compared to these people, the age range was anywhere from 18 to 30 and even older. I mean, some of the command officers over there, career military, have been around for a long time, and I mean I’ll be honest.

RUSH: Here’s Jeff in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Welcome, sir, president great to have you here with us. Hi.

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. Listener since 2000.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: I want to ask what your opinion is on why the tech industry is left leaning. I’m a tech industry person. I’ve been here working in this industry for 30 years. It’s very entrepreneurial. There are no unions. I’m curious as to why it leans left when it seems to me it should lean right.

RUSH: You know, this is a question that I have been asking myself my whole life because I have been under the impression that all of these people — self-made, very wealthy — are natural-born conservatives. But they obviously despise conservatism, and they despise conservatives, conservative people. They despise ’em.

RUSH: I mentioned at the top of the program that there was a book that I wanted to tell you about. It’s actually a source of great pride that I tell you about this book. I want to go back to 2003, May the 3rd of 2003. I’ve told this story before. Some of you who have been longtime listeners have heard the story, but it is worth hearing it again.

It’s May of 2003. A couple of months earlier, we began the invasion of Iraq, one of the first acts in the War on Terror. This was the war that was to remove and eliminate Saddam Hussein. George W. Bush had spent a year and a half traveling the country explaining it, gearing up support for it. It was a major, major conflict in the War on Terror and our response to it.

RUSH: We are here on the Left Coast. We’re in Hollywood. We’re in Los Angeles, broadcast excellence for the fourth straight date out here, and one more to go after today. We’re having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.

I showed up yesterday, played at a golf course called Saticoy up in Reagan country. You know where it is? It’s up there in Camarillo. So we drove up there, you need meal money to get up there from here. And we show up, go to the 18th hole, it’s a long par five. I, El Rushbo, I’m hitting the ball off the tee as well as I have in I don’t know how long. Bammo, it’s about a 535 yard par five. The second shot, 3-wood, bammo, straight down the middle. I have about 80 yards in, and I sort of yank, come over the top on the gap, wedge ends up in the trap, the green side bunker. And we’re one down here, this is gonna tie it up and not losing any money. And of course everybody thinks I’m in the bunker. I’ve got a reputation for being a bad bunker player. Okay, it’s over.

RUSH: Here’s Beto O’Rourke. I mentioned this. I just want you to hear it. He’s in Juarez, Mexico. Juarez is right across the river from El Paso, and he’s campaigning for the presidency — the Democrat nomination — in Juarez, Mexico. Now, you may think this is crazy. But it isn’t! Democrat Party base lives in Mexico now. They were asked, “Show of hands. How many of you think illegals should get free health care?” Every hand went up. They don’t think illegals should be stopped from coming into the country. So the population of Mexico is a Democrat base now. So Beto goes down there to tell them that America caused their suffering, that America is to blame for Mexicans dying crossing into the country. This is what he said.

RUSH: You know what struck me over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Big Media, the Drive-By Media, never, ever get investigated. They do not investigate themselves. CBS did over Rather, but they had to on that one, but they never, ever get investigated. They can distort. They can lie. They can ruin people. They can create total false impressions of reality that has real effect on people’s lives, and nobody ever demands an investigation. But you let it be Big Oil that does something or let it be Big Drug that does something or Big Retail or Big Tobacco, why, we’ll stop the presses and we’ll investigate. I know the media has First Amendment protections and I’m not suggesting Congress should do this.

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite No. 10. This is Andrew Cuomo, the son of Mario “The Pious,” and yesterday in New York City he was signing some bill somewhere. You know, Trump is egging him on to run against him in 2020. Trump is encouraging Andrew Cuomo to run against him. Trump is salivating at the chance to run against the son of Mario “The Pious,” and here’s what Andrew said…

RUSH: I am holding this latest story right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers: “Forecasters See Less Active ’06 Hurricane Season” (Gasping.) “The United States hurricane season will be slightly less intense this year than first predicted with nine hurricanes expected to form, government forecasters said on Tuesday, but they warned the most dangerous part of the season was still to come.” Really? We know this. The peak is in the middle of September. NOAA “said the 2006 season could produce between 12 to 15 named storms, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes and three or four of them being classified as ‘major’ hurricanes that could threaten the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts.”

Now, you know, I want to be very careful here because these people have a tough job. They have incredible expectations placed on them, and those expectations are not helped by all the media hype about hurricanes and disasters and so forth, but come on. Does anybody really expect that they can tell you in April or March what’s going to happen in a hurricane season? They think they do, but the best that we can do is issue a wild guess based on data that we have collected and analyzed in computers over a number of years in the past. Remember we were told a new cycle here? Global warming was a debated topic as to whether or not it affected hurricanes, but regardless, new cycle, intense hurricanes, lot more of them, brace yourselves!

RUSH: This from Chris Matthews last night on his — well, it wasn’t Hardball, it was his election coverage on PMSNBC.

MATTHEWS: The body language of the two is so different. You have this very wasp-y fellow, Lamont, very calm, very casual, very St. Paul’s almost in the prep school sense, Lieberman of course is the schmaltzy ethnic guy, the Uncle Tonoose, you know, the guy that’s very much kind of lachrymose in his almost postnasal drip voice of his, but he doesn’t look happy.

RUSH: All right, now, “the schmaltzy ethnic guy, the Uncle Tonoose,” And as I said the last hour, Uncle Tonoose was a character on the old Danny Thomas show, and I think I’m pretty safe in saying that Uncle Tonoose is played by Hans Conried, huge hook nose and so forth. Here’s Matthews describing — let’s be honest about this, folks; let’s just put it out there. When you say somebody “is a schmaltzy ethnic guy,” you’re not talking about an Arab. You’re talking about a Jew. You just described somebody as a schmaltzy ethnic guy who has postnasal drip with his voice, lachrymose and so forth. Uncle Tonoose, in character, was a Lebanese Arab.

Danny Thomas was a Christian Lebanese, and Uncle Tonoose therefore, was portraying an Arab. But isn’t it interesting that you have Chris Matthews describing an Arab as a Jew, on the basis of appearance, schmaltzy ethnic guy. You know, there are some people saying this, but their dancing around it, but one of the little — or not often discussed aspects of the kook fringe base of the Democratic Party, I’m just going to put it out there, is anti-Semitism. There is so much anti-Semitism today in the Democratic Party.
