This is Jim.  Thank you for calling, sir.  Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thanks, Rush.  Rush, you know, I think my take on the unemployment problem in this country is, I think, due to the fact that the typical man in this country is just worn out from a war on real men.  I guess I site Camille Paglia\u2019s article.  The state of health in this nation is directly related to the health of guys.  I\u2019m unabashedly a guy.  I have no problem saying I\u2019m attracted to women. I like to work. I\u2019m a manly guy, and everything that seems to be something I like, I\u2019m being told isn\u2019t good, you know?  All our manufacturing is being shipped overseas, mining for coal, drilling for oil is bad.  Yet undocumented citizens from other countries can come here under the table and take those jobs from me.  You know, I don\u2019t wear pajamas, never have since I was four years old.  I guess I just feel like it\u2019s an attrition.  Heck, we like to kill our enemy and blow up things, and yet we\u2019re told that women can do that just as well.  Everything that makes a guy a guy we\u2019re being told you can\u2019t do that.  Well, you know, sorry, but that\u2019s the problem. I think a lot of guys are dejected and they\u2019re kind of going a little bit soft.  So I think you\u2019re seeing that to some extent in the unemployment &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85776\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushHisArmsWide585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Well, look, I understand some of it.  I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any doubt.  That piece that you cite by Camille Paglia, I agree with it a hundred percent.  There is and there has been, and it\u2019s part and parcel of the modern era feminism, an attack on masculinity.  Masculinity has been portrayed as the problem in America.  Masculinity, male power is the reason there are so many wars.  Male power is the reason so many people get hurt.  Male power is why women and children are not safe in marriage.  Male power equals predatory behavior.  All of this was either stated directly or an undercurrent of modern feminism and there has been and there continues to be an attack on masculinity.  You know, I jokingly, humorously refer to it as the chickification of our society.  But tell me again, how do you think this is affecting you finding a job?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, it\u2019s not affecting me directly, but I just speak for men in general.  I think guys are worn out, because we\u2019re told that all the things we like to do, men like to build, men like to work outdoors. There\u2019s no Keystone pipeline being built, and the things that we could be doing in this country to make us strong and independent, like drilling and mining, we have been told for the last 20 years is wrong, it\u2019ll hurt mother Gaia.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Not just that, you\u2019re destroying the country, you\u2019re destroying the planet when you do what you really want to do as a man.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Exactly.  Hey, I unabashedly call myself a lesbian in a man\u2019s body, and if that\u2019s the way I have to talk PC, fine.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Don\u2019t laugh.  This was the first program to actually discover, in 1990, male lesbians.  And it\u2019s a direct offshoot of the feminist movement.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, I\u2019m gonna&#8230; I had it, and I filed it, and I gotta go find it. This would be an ideal time.  There was a story earlier in the week that I vowed to get to, and it\u2019s in the New York Times, and it\u2019s about how seeking success is unhealthy. It will dovetail nicely with this guy\u2019s call, but I had it in the Stack here. It kept growing, the Stack of Stuff I didn\u2019t get to, and it got so big yesterday, in a fit, I just trashed it all. <\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ve got it as part of a massive file that I\u2019m gonna have to spotlight surgery. I\u2019ll get it in due course, but it will dovetail nicely. It\u2019s the New York Times story on how seeking success, working hard can make you sick. It can be unhealthy.  It\u2019s just absurd.  Now, earlier on the program, we had some discussion about unemployment and things that people can do, people turning out of the workforce, and there were some solutions given by well-known leftists as to what you can do. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com\/2014\/01\/04\/can-upward-mobility-cost-you-your-health\/\"><img id=\"eZObject_85777\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushWaronMenArticle.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3429\">I\u2019d rather focus on Bernie Marcus<\/a> (he\u2019s the Home Depot cofounder) rather than listen to Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer\u2019s out there suggesting that, well, this unemployment is today! This is so bad, we\u2019ve gotta really, really start working now on extending unemployment benefits &#8212; and that\u2019s what Obama\u2019s doing.  So here we are in the midst of an absolute human tragedy, the US economy &#8212; and I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any other way to look at it.  There\u2019s no other way to describe it. <\/p>\n<p>It is a human tragedy, what\u2019s happening, in the United States of America, six years in now &#8212; and by design, it\u2019s getting worse. It\u2019s by design and on purpose because exactly what Obama and the Democrats want to happen is happening.  It\u2019s gone beyond depending on government.  People are now being supported by the government, and they\u2019re okay with it.  There are 92 million Americans not working!  <\/p>\n<p>For this to be the design of the Democrat Party, it\u2019s not hard to understand.  Growing government, supporting more and more people is never-ending power.  You create all these people dependent on you; they\u2019re gonna keep voting for you.  So the human tragedy here that is taking place, that\u2019s occurring, is something the Democrats want to occur so they can profit from it in their own way. They can benefit from it. <\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m listening to Chuck Schumer and Obama, and their solution to this is more unemployment benefits?  The solution to the crumbling job market is more welfare? <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, here. I found the story on working hard makes you sick.  It\u2019s dated January 4th.  It\u2019s by Gregory Miller, Edith Chen, and Gene Brody.  &#8220;Can Upward Mobility Cost You Your Health?&#8221; Now, what in the name of Sam Hill&#8230;? Thirty years ago, this kind of concern would never even occur to anybody.  &#8220;Upward mobility&#8221; was the personification of the American dream.  Upward mobility is simply improving your standard of living.  Upward mobility is simply making a better life for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>And I don\u2019t care where you live, every human is trying to do that in his or her own way.  But only in America are we gonna sit here and start trying to say that to do that might make you sick.  Why in the world&#8230;? What kind of convoluted thinking would even give somebody this premise?  It is critical thinking that allows me to conclude that something like this is done and conceived in order to cover for the absolute rotten economy given us about the modern Democrat Party and Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85786\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/obamayears.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Because there isn\u2019t any upward mobility. Much like in the early days of the Obama Regime, we got stories on the blessings of unemployment and how it could actually improve your life.  They came up with a term to characterize it, &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/news\/local\/la-me-funemployment4-2009jun04,0,7581684.story\">funemployment<\/a>,&#8221; and we actually had stories about how being unemployed was the greatest thing could happen to you, because you\u2019d get to stay at home.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>You got to relearn what it\u2019s like to be at home with your kids and you\u2019d be closer to your family, all of this absolute lunacy, the benefits of being unemployed.  Funemployment.  Anything to cover the disaster being given this country by the Democrat Party.  It was like in the nineties when Bill Clinton was lying every time he opened his mouth.  We got stories in the media about how lying was good.  It protected people.  It prevented hurt feelings. <\/p>\n<p>Everybody does it, just like everybody has sex &#8212; and as long as it doesn\u2019t affect your job, it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business &#8212; and on and on and on and on and on.  Now, &#8220;Can Upward Mobility Cost You Your Health? &#8212; Americans love a good rags-to-riches story. Even in an age of soaring inequality, we like to think that people can still make it big here if they work hard and stay out of trouble. The socioeconomic reality of most of the last four decades &#8212; stagnant wages, soaring income and wealth inequality, and reduced equality of opportunity &#8212; have dented, but not destroyed, the appeal of the American dream.&#8221; Now, that is an absolute crock. <\/p>\n<p>Four decades of this?  The last 40 years, stagnant wages.  The last 40 years, soaring income and wealth inequality.  What do they think?  That there is some committee that\u2019s assigning wealth to some people and poverty to others?  No.  It\u2019s another disguised attack on capitalism.  People who have more ambition are gonna likely do better than people with less ambition.  People with more desire, people who work harder, who study more, who learn what it is they love, who discover what it is they love, who educate themselves on what it is they love, those people are, by definition, gonna do better than people that don\u2019t do those things.  And this is called unfairness? <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85792\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushReestablishConserve585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It\u2019s not inequality of wealth.  It\u2019s simply the difference in human beings.  It\u2019s the difference in desire, the difference in ambition.  And, yeah, there\u2019s luck thrown in there, but luck is simply where preparation meets opportunity.  That\u2019s all luck is.  Reduced equality of opportunity?  When has opportunity ever been equal?  When has wealth ever been equal, anywhere in the world, under any system?  It never has been.  When have wages not been stagnant for somebody?  Wages are stagnant for all kinds of people who are not qualified, who aren\u2019t prepared, who don\u2019t do good work.  Sometimes wages are stagnant for union members, because that\u2019s all the latest contract gets \u2019em. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>But, no, what we have to do now, we have to blame America for it.  And then we have to add to it, to try overcome all these obstacles is just gonna make you sick.  Which is just flat-out absurd.  &#8220;Those who do climb the ladder against the odds,&#8221; it says here, &#8220;often pay a little-known price.  Success, at school and in the workplace, can take a toll on the body that may have long-term repercussions for health.&#8221;  Now, what in the name of Sam Hill &#8212; who in the world thinks this way?  And, by the way, this isn\u2019t new.  Success is the result of hard work, and there is stress involved. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s stress involved in the success track.  There is stress involved getting there.  There is more stress involved staying there.  You know why?  &#8216;Cause everybody wants what you\u2019ve got.  Everybody, at least in the immediate arena where successful people compete, everybody wants to be the best.  Everybody\u2019s trying to be.  It may be a universe of 10 people or a hundred or whatever, but there\u2019s always competition.  And that is stressful.  Some people don\u2019t do as well with competition as others.  Some people thrive on it, some are intimidated by it, some ignore it, whatever.  We\u2019re all different. <\/p>\n<p>Whoever had the idea that success is pain free?  Whoever had the idea that success doesn\u2019t have consequences?  Everything does!  Where do you think the old adage, &#8220;Money isn\u2019t the route to happiness&#8221; came from?  It came from people who ended up earning a lot of money and were still not happy, for other reasons.  And they weren\u2019t happy because of stress or because of &#8212; well, any number of things.  The idea here somehow is that everybody thinks success is a daily red carpet and the after party, and then the awards show, is that what success is? <\/p>\n<p>The media loves you and everybody wants your autograph, and everybody wants their picture with you, and every holiday you\u2019re either on a beach in St. Barth\u2019s or Hawaii or somewhere in the Caribbean or Florida, and you\u2019ve got a supermodel on your arm, that\u2019s what success has always been?  Is that what it is?  And then people start looking for success and find it and they find out, just like Woody Allen said, one of the greatest things Woody Allen ever said (paraphrasing), &#8220;All success is, is that you get rejected by a different class of woman.&#8221;  He\u2019s right on the money. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a classic line.  Stop and think about it.  Things don\u2019t change no matter what your economic circumstances are, and having success is not something that erases everyday problems or stresses in life, but yet people must think it does because a story like this ends up getting published. &#8220;By the way, don\u2019t worker too hard, it can make you sick.  Don\u2019t work too hard.  It\u2019s not what it\u2019s made out to be.&#8221;  This is the absolute wrong kind of thing to be saying, particularly now, because the route out, the way out of these dire economic circumstances a lot of people find themselves in is hard work. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85785\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-Obama-Stamp.jpg\"\/><BR\/>The best way out is hard work.  It\u2019s not extended unemployment benefits.  It\u2019s not Social Security disability checks.  It\u2019s not Obamacare.  The way out is what it\u2019s always been, ambition, drive, desire, singular focus, and hard work. An added bonus is if you find something you really love, then all the rest of that stuff is much less difficult.  &#8216;Cause if you\u2019re really doing what you really love, the rest of that stuff doesn\u2019t matter.  If you\u2019re doing something you don\u2019t like and you\u2019re successful at it, then the rest of that stuff will be a bigger problem.  But people who have found what they really like don\u2019t even think they\u2019re working.  They think they\u2019re just getting to do what they love every day, whatever it is. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So you love to get up, and the first thing you do is get on a computer and start learning things, or whatever you do, first thing you want to do when you get up is jog, whatever the first thing you want to do every morning is, find a way to get paid for it.  That\u2019s what a lot of people have done.  The idea, though, that seeking success is going to make sick, it says here, high stress, you\u2019re gonna become obese, and it\u2019s not what it\u2019s made out to be. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Among American children there are wide socioeconomic gaps on many dimensions of well-being: school achievement, mental health, drug use, teenage pregnancy and juvenile incarceration, to name just a few. Despite the risks that lower-income children face, we also know that a significant minority beat the odds. They perform admirably in school, avoid drugs and go on to college,&#8221; and they get sick.  Even they get sick. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Several years ago, we began studying these resilient young people, trying to find out if their success stories also translated into physical health benefits. We reasoned that, if disadvantaged children were succeeding academically and emotionally, they might also be protected from health problems that were more common in lower-income youth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So it seems to me that the left has decided that the main problem, the biggest problem people face is getting sick.  I guess it stands to reason, what, you\u2019re all one illness away from bankruptcy.  You\u2019re one hospital visit away from poverty.  I mean, they\u2019ve just been throwing this at you.  So now even success can make you sick.  They studied a bunch of kids, young people who were achieving success by all conventional markers experienced deteriorating health. <\/p>\n<p>So what?  Don\u2019t do it?  So, make sure you\u2019ve got your Obamacare policy?  See, everything makes you sick.  Let me tell you what else makes you sick.  Poverty makes you sick.  Laziness makes you sick.  Unemployment compensation for two-plus years can make you sick.  Everything, anything can make you sick, if you sit around and wait for it and you\u2019re not gonna get a program for every damn one of those things.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, let me clarify something that I said in my monologue moments ago, in pointing out that there is a lot of stress in success.  There\u2019s a lot of pressure in success.  It manifests itself in all kinds of ways that you can\u2019t imagine until you become successful.  And by that I mean when you\u2019ve reached whatever success is to you, when you\u2019ve reached your goal or you\u2019re getting close to it, I guarantee you it will be different than you think it is.  That\u2019s not bad or good. It\u2019s just I\u2019m telling you it\u2019s gonna be much different than you think.  Success is gonna have a far different reality than what you think it\u2019s gonna be.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85791\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaWar-prosperity.jpg\"\/><BR\/>The stress of competition is different than the stress of despair.  The stress of working at peak performance levels and earning money, there\u2019s a lot of stress in that.  You get yourself in a circumstance where a lot of people are depending on you for their own lifestyles, there is a lot of stress in that.  But it\u2019s far healthier than the stress of be being out of the game. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The idea that the stress involved in success can make you sick?  Fear is one of the greatest motivators there is.  And since there\u2019s stress and pressure in everything, including retirement, I would just as soon have the stress that goes along with success as opposed to the stress that you get when you\u2019re in despair.  I would much rather have the stress that comes from competition than the stress and pressure that comes from not even being in the game. <\/p>\n<p>Have you ever noticed, folks, speaking of upward mobility, have you ever noticed how under capitalism the rich become powerful, and under socialism the powerful become rich?  It\u2019s amazing when you look at it that way.  Under capitalism, the rich become powerful.  Under socialism, the powerful get rich.  They exploit others.  They get rich by taking from others, by using their power.  In capitalism, the rich become powerful.  It\u2019s a minor little distinction.  It\u2019s one of those little pithy bullet points that is just shy of a profundity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Rapid City, South Dakota. This is Jim.
