Honestly, folks, for the first time.  I did, I did out of a sense of duty, but I didn\u2019t want to.  And for the first time in 25 years I never felt more distant from my government than last night.  Watching that, practically every aspect of it, I felt like that\u2019s not us.  That\u2019s a whole different world there.  That\u2019s a whole different mind-set, it\u2019s a whole different existence, it\u2019s not us.  I felt a huge disconnect.  And when they switched off from Obama and the cameras showed you the crowd, the Congress sitting there, honestly, folks, I thought I was looking at the Star Wars bar scene half the time. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, greetings and great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.  Telephone number is 800-282-2882.  The e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86585\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/State-of-the-Coup-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So I did watch it.  I watched it under duress, not really wanting to.  And the reason is, I don\u2019t believe anything anymore, or very little.  I think everything is PR, everything is a game, everything is designed to effect a result rooted in emotion.  And that\u2019s not good.  I literally didn\u2019t feel like I had much in common with what was being discussed.  I mean, I realized I was a target, as all of us are.  That\u2019s the thing, too.  I mean, we\u2019ve got Washington, DC, it\u2019s its own enclave, and it is governing against the will of the people. <\/p>\n<p>The latest polling data, for example, on global warming, it is last on the list of things people care about.  Last.  Immigration just barely above it.  Immigration reform, amnesty.  Nobody, nobody believes the global warming thing anymore, and amnesty is something nobody in the country, a vast majority, don\u2019t want.  Yet that doesn\u2019t matter.  Washington\u2019s going to do what it\u2019s going to do regardless, and they\u2019re going to insult our intelligence in the process by trying to make us think that we do want it.  Or trying to make those of us that poll in the majority think that we\u2019re not really the majority, that we\u2019re the ones out of touch.  Like campaign finance reform.  I thought the whole thing bordered on insulting. <\/p>\n<p>Now, as for the speech itself, this was incredible.  Do you people &#8212; I don\u2019t mean &#8220;you people&#8221; in an insulting way &#8212; do you realize the stuff Obama talked about last night, he rejected all of that in the campaign of 2008?  He doesn\u2019t believe any of that stuff last night.  The one positive you might want to take out of it, here you\u2019ve got a president who\u2019s in trouble, his party is in trouble, and what do they always do?  Obama tried to sound, in matters economic, pocketbook, he tried to sound as unlike he really is as he could pull off.  Now, he\u2019s never going to sound like a conservative.  But he certainly dialed down the community organizer identity and rhetoric last night. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86592\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-divide.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It was funny watching.  I thought Frank Luntz retired and went to Hollywood, but there he was on Fox after the speech with his focus group, and it was interesting.  I think there were a lot of Obama voters in that group.  The ones that I said, &#8220;I didn\u2019t think he was enthusiastic enough.&#8221;  What in the world were you watching?  He was enthusiastic as he could be.  It was just all phony.  It was contrived energy.  But the stuff that he was talking about last night are things that he has rejected philosophically, that he doesn\u2019t really believe in.  So that\u2019s the one upper if you want to stretch and try to find one in it. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The overall concern for me is just the disconnect that I feel from that whole thing.  I have a sneaking suspicion that many of you are the same way.  There really isn\u2019t anything we feel like we\u2019ve got in common.  Interests are not joint.  And it seems as though that is of nobody\u2019s concern there.  But we will endeavor to forge ahead, ladies and gentlemen.  I\u2019ll tell you, without that speech last night, the State of the Coup, I would never have known how good things are.  I mean, it really struck me.  Did you hear the president? Did you listen to it last night? Did you watch it? <\/p>\n<p>I mean, if you watched it and you were from Mars, you would think that this country has never had a stronger economy. We have never been positioned better. We are kicking butt. We are kicking butt and taking names.  We are just rocking.  We are tearing it down.  We are the envy of the world.  I would have never known how good things are had I not watched this speech.  But this speech is the kind of disconnect that gets people in the private sector fired or sued or committed.  It was so far off from reality.  So here in the middle of talking about how many jobs have been created and how great the job recovery\u2019s going, we got a whole segment on the need for job training centers. <\/p>\n<p>Why are 50 million people on food stamps, Mr. President?  Twenty million more people on food stamps than when you were inaugurated.  Why, if the economy is growing so rapidly and if job creation is so momentous, why do we need emergency unemployment extensions?  Why are 92 million Americans on the sidelines?  If we\u2019ve got such a robust, roaring economy, and the job market is racing back to normal, why are 92 million Americans not in it? <\/p>\n<p>Grab sound bite number 20.  This one, the president stood up there and he basically said to Congress  (imitating Obama), &#8220;I\u2019m gonna do what I\u2019m gonna do, and if you don\u2019t want to do it, screw you,&#8221; and they stood up and applauded him.  He basically told \u2019em I\u2019m gonna screw you if I have to. If you get in the way of what I want to do when I pretend to be dictator, screw you, and they stood up, the Democrat side, and applauded.  Here\u2019s how it sounded.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  I\u2019m eager to work with all of you.  But America does not stand still, and neither will I.  So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that\u2019s what I\u2019m gonna do.  (applause)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10306\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86588\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaDictatorStateoftheUnion.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Look at this.  They\u2019re standing up and they\u2019re applauding this.  Standing ovation on the Democrat side.  But then why do we need to do anything to expand opportunity for more American families, because if you listen to this speech last night, there\u2019s nothing else to be done.  We\u2019ve restored that.  There is endless opportunity for American families, except the ones living paycheck to paycheck. And there\u2019s endless opportunity for people to go out and find careers and jobs, except for the people that can only find a gig for 29 hours a week. And there\u2019s so much burgeoning, we\u2019re gonna have a summit here on tuitions.  We\u2019re gonna make sure everybody gets to go to college except for those who are indebted for the rest of their lives to student loans and degrees for which there\u2019s no work. <\/p>\n<p>I just thought it was rank amateur.  I think this is such a letdown.  I don\u2019t know how to describe it, folks.  It\u2019s disappointing.  Bragging about a recovery which is the worst one since the Great Depression. <\/p>\n<p>Why are 92 million people on the sidelines? Why are there 20 million more Americans on food stamps than when he was inaugurated?  Why do we need endless emergency unemployment extensions?  The answer is because he has been president since 2009.  That\u2019s why.  Why are so many Americans losing their health insurance?  Why are so many Americans now unable to afford health insurance after the implementation of Obamacare? <\/p>\n<p>Because he has been president since 2009. <\/p>\n<p>You know what this was?  This was a campaign speech without an election.  It was pure denial.  The president last night was pretending to run for office in the hopes of winning an election, so at some point in the future he can govern.  The whole night I kept saying, &#8220;Wait a minute. We\u2019re five years into this. This speech is a speech that should have been given five years ago.&#8221;  This speech should have been given five years ago. <\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019re five years into his Regime and we still got a campaign speech, and it was aimed right at the low-information voter.  It was a distraction from the destruction, pure and simple.  Words about pens, words about phones, words without substance that ignored the realities of the last five years.  This speech was written and rehearsed so as to position the president as an energetic man of action, to make you forget that the country is in deep trouble, to make you forget that a tremendous fraud has been perpetrated on the American people. <\/p>\n<p>Because promises made by an energetic and enthusiastic man sound so good.  Snake oil needs a good salesman, and that\u2019s what Obama was last night.  The energetic, enthusiastic president says he will slash the bureaucracy, streamline permitting process for key projects.  He\u2019s not gonna do anything of the sort.  He is the obstacle to all of that.  &#8220;Climate change is a fact!&#8221; Nobody cares.  The highlight of the night was the last thing that happened. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86591\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Murray.png\"\/><BR\/>That was the tribute to the soldier, the Army Ranger, Remsburg, who was nearly killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.  He got the longest sustained and genuine applause of the night &#8212; the only genuine applause of the night, and the longest, and the deepest, and the most sincere, and the most appreciative of the night.  It went on and on and on.  I want to read to you a tweet sent out by the senior political editor for NBC News, Mark Murray.  This is an actual tweet from an actual objective, professional journalist at NBC News. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here is the tweet: &#8220;Obama\u2019s ending on Remsburg wasn\u2019t just a story about America &#8212; it also was a story about Obama. Nothing has ever come easy.&#8221;  Does that bother you or offend you, that a member of the press sat through that and saw Obama in that story?  Obama doesn\u2019t know the half of what Mr. Remsburg has experienced.  It really is kind of perverted, convoluted, sick, what have you, to try to compare (and insert Obama in) that story &#8212; and it made me wonder. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe that was the purpose of it. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe Obama\u2019s trying to hijack that poor man\u2019s story, insert himself in it, \u2019cause here\u2019s this political director\/editor for NBC News: It &#8220;wasn\u2019t just a story about America.&#8221;  I thought it was a story about the soldier, frankly.  What does this story say about America?  Obama ending on Remsburg &#8220;wasn\u2019t just a story about America &#8212; it was also a story about Obama&#8221;?  &#8220;Nothing has ever come easy&#8221;?  Chew on that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll just give you some more observations on amnesty &#8212; which, again, we don\u2019t want.  It is not important.  The American people are not interested in it (which doesn\u2019t matter).  We\u2019re not interested in climate change.  That doesn\u2019t matter.  So the president in the speech last night praised the job market, praised the economic recovery, highlighted how many jobs have been created and how rapidly it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re good jobs, and all of this. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_86593\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaUnemploymentNOPERCENTBACK.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It wasn\u2019t true.  And then he would say, &#8220;Not enough people are working! We need to have job-training centers open and we need to retrain people,&#8221; and I said, &#8220;What is school for?  Why do we need all these federal programs to tell people how to work?  You don\u2019t want \u2019em to work anyway!&#8221;  There\u2019s a state, ladies and gentlemen, that a lot can be learned from.  It\u2019s North Carolina.  North Carolina has done away with the extension, the emergency unemployment benefits &#8212; and you know what?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>The unemployment rate is plummeting in North Carolina. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s common sense. <\/p>\n<p>Pay people not to work and they\u2019re not gonna work.  Obama promised he wants to pay people. He wants to continue to pay people not to work.  That got a standing ovation.  But the contradiction was profound.  On the one hand, we got great job creation and we got a growing economy  &#8212; it\u2019s finally taking off and it\u2019s just going gangbusters &#8212; and over here we got all these people that can\u2019t find a job and we need to extend their unemployment benefits, and we need to do it now.<\/p>\n<p>And if we don\u2019t do it, if Congress doesn\u2019t do it, he\u2019s gonna do it himself &#8212; and then you go to the real world in North Carolina where they\u2019ve done away with it, and the unemployment rate is plummeting. Because when you\u2019re not being paid not to work, you gotta have somebody else to pay you.  So people are going out and finding work.  There\u2019s no big job boom or oil boom in North Carolina that would explain their unemployment rate coming down. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simply they\u2019ve done away with the benefits. <\/p>\n<p>So the president says, &#8220;Not enough people are working,&#8221; on the one hand, and yet everybody\u2019s working.  But because not enough people are working, we want to flood the job market with illegal immigrants \u2019cause that\u2019s &#8220;the right thing to do,&#8221; and America\u2019s a beacon.  Obama said women need equal pay.  This, you know, &#8220;Women earn 77\u00c2\u00a2 for every $1 a man earns&#8221; is 10-, 20-year-old stuff.  It\u2019s no longer true.  It basically wasn\u2019t even true when it was first used.  But the one thing, if you watched it &#8212; and it\u2019s hard to pick one.<\/p>\n<p>But when the president said&#8230; I might have this in the sound bites.  I don\u2019t know.  I probably do, but I don\u2019t have time to find it.  <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10289\">When he said that the American people &#8220;want us in Washington to work to go to find solutions,&#8221; no, we don\u2019t!  That\u2019s the problem!<\/a> We don\u2019t want you doing any more.  Leave us alone!  We don\u2019t need you!  We don\u2019t need Congress tampering in the job market with job-training centers, job-creation programs.  That\u2019s not how it happens! You people don\u2019t do that.  You don\u2019t even know how to do it.  <\/p>\n<p>If you knew how to do it, you would realize it\u2019s not your job. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I really did not want to watch that last night, and it\u2019s the first time in the 25 years I\u2019ve been doing this show I did not want to watch it.
