I\u2019m glad you waited. Great to have you here. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, great show.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m a 16-year-listener, first-time caller, and you sound irate today. I\u2019m glad, because you pale &#8212; pale, my friend &#8212; in comparison to me. I just got off the phone with Snerdley. I just paid $4.75, Rush, for a gallon of gasoline in Irvine, California, right off the 405. Now, let\u2019s just do the math. And this is for the dolts all over at George Mason. If you have two vehicles and you have an F-150 and you have a Mazda truck and a 17- gallon tank, Rush, that\u2019s $42 more per fill-up multiplied by &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait just a second!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushGasPricesCalifornia.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, let me finish. I am so mad &#8212;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hold on. Hold on just a minute, Chester. Who you think you are to have all those cars? What right do you have to have all those cars and trucks?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You know who I am, Rush? I\u2019m a hardworking (garbled) white guy. That\u2019s who I am.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019ve got more than your share, Chester! You are exactly what\u2019s wrong with this country. I can\u2019t believe the greed and selfishness. Look at all the people that don\u2019t have cars and trucks \u2019cause of how many you\u2019ve got. I\u2019d be ashamed! I can\u2019t believe it. And now you have the guts to call here and complain about the price of the gasoline it costs to put in \u2019em?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, you don\u2019t even hear anything about it. When Bush was president, every LA news channel had these hacks at the gas station complaining about $2 gas. Now it\u2019s $4.75. If you do the math, that\u2019s $2300 more per car. That\u2019s $4600 more combined per year. Now, I realize that to a hack like that gentleman over at MS-LSD, Chris Matthews, that\u2019s chump change. But, you know, for regular taxpayers, that\u2019s a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s after-tax dollars.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: After tax. Now, Chris Matthews, who is so anti-white, and Chris Matthews, who is so pro-Mexican&#8230; I challenge Chris Matthews &#8212; and I hope he hears this, Rush, on Media Matters. Get your ass out of lily white Northern Virginia. Why don\u2019t you move to the barrios of Santa Ana? Move to the barrios of San Antonio, El Centro, East LA. Or if you\u2019re so pro-black and anti-white, move to Cleveland! Move to Gary, East St. Louis, Compton. That guy\u2019s got no credibility, Rush. And to the people that are on, I guess you call it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Why do you want him moving to those places? What is your point?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.mediaite.com\/embed\/player\/?content=PG6HMJ3BQQB7MGGQ&amp;layout=&amp;content_type=content_item&amp;playlist_cid=&amp;media_type=video&amp;read_more=1&amp;widget_type_cid=svp\" width=\"585\" height=\"421\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: My point is this, Rush. Here\u2019s my point. These undecided voters? Look, Mitt Romney could go tomorrow and run OPEC, Siemens corporation, DuPont, Boeing, Airbus. Barack Obama, Rush, you know this, he couldn\u2019t even work in the mail room. People, wake up. This country\u2019s going to hell in a hand basket! We\u2019re going to be paying $6 a gallon for <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14348\">gas<\/a>, Rush? Come on, now!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaGasPrices585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We heading that way.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, how is a family supposed survive? You got taxes. I mean, if you\u2019re in construction? Drywall, concrete, paint, lumber, power tools, they\u2019re all going through the roof!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Chester?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You have people saying that they\u2019re doing better? I mean, are you kidding me?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Chester? Chester?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, where are they getting their crack from?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Chester, Chris Matthews lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Lily white, huh, Rush?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaOutofBusinessElectricCar.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Two places with, I think, the lowest minority populations in the country. Yet your point is he seems to know all these minorities and what they think and how they live, but he wouldn\u2019t know one if he ran into one? That is your point, right?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Number two. Number two, you are supposed to suffer. You asked, &#8220;What\u2019s a family supposed to do?&#8221; Under Obama, you are supposed to suffer. I was only half joking. &#8220;You\u2019ve got more trucks than your fair share. You\u2019ve got more than you deserve. You don\u2019t need to be buying that much gasoline. You\u2019re causing global warming.&#8221; That\u2019s who Obama is, Chester.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He\u2019s not there to make it possible for you to improve your lot in life so you can more easily afford that $6500. His job is to make you suffer because you\u2019re not supposed to have that much and you\u2019re not supposed to be using that much. You have more and are using more than your share!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, you\u2019re right about that, Rush. Let me close by saying two things. A, I love <a view=\"line\" href=\"http:\/\/twoifbytea.com\/\">Two If By Tea<\/a>. So I hope you\u2019re making a lot of money. I know you\u2019re donating a lot of money. Secondly, you know what? You travel a lot. I know you golf overseas and you golf all over the place. I returned from a trip to Central America. You know, there\u2019s a lot of Americans moving down to Costa Rica, to Ecuador that uses the US dollar, to Panama that uses the US dollar. And, you know, if things continue to go south, Americans that still have a little bit left, Rush, you know what? They can actually take their money with them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, it\u2019s an interesting point. I went down to Puerto Vallarta on a golf trip three years ago now. It was in November, and I ended up catching a stomach bug delayed until a month after I got back. Anyway, I was stunned at the number of Americans who live there. And they were telling me, &#8220;Oh, yeah, it doesn\u2019t cost anything here.&#8221; They were telling me how cheap their apartments were, their condos or whatever. They live there. These are former California residents who moved to Puerto Vallarta. Let me ask you, do you live in Irvine?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, I do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You do. Irvine, would you consider Irvine a suburb?<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14383\"><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaSuburbs_Pix.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Irvine is 25 minutes south, Rush, of Disneyland.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Then why don\u2019t you take&#8230;? See, what you\u2019re supposed to do in Obamaville, Chester &#8212; and I\u2019m not kidding. All of this is supposed to make you get on a bus or a train. Mass transit, Chester. You see, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14383\">Obama doesn\u2019t like the fact that you\u2019ve fled the city. He doesn\u2019t like you living in suburbia. He doesn\u2019t like it. You have taken your money away from the city.<\/a> You were able to flee the squalid conditions others can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>So the fact that you\u2019re suffering some pain?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the plan.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, I take offense to the word &#8220;suburb.&#8221; That has a racial overtone, and I never once heard the media say that, and if Mitt Romney can\u2019t say the word &#8220;apartment,&#8221; then President Obama shouldn\u2019t be able to say the word &#8220;suburb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, have you heard the latest.  Get this.  Sununu was on Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, the day after the debate and called Obama lazy.  And the left wing machine went into gear.  &#8220;That is racism.  You call our beloved black <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14351\">president lazy!<\/a> Why don\u2019t you add shiftless to it?  Why don\u2019t you just finish it?&#8221;  They wanted to make it out that Sununu was being racist by calling Obama lazy, because he\u2019s black, and you\u2019re not supposed to do that.  And so Andrea Mitchell says, (paraphrasing) &#8220;Do you want to take that back?&#8221; &#8220;No, I\u2019m not gonna take it back.  He\u2019s lazy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>By the way, Andrea, he\u2019s admitted that he\u2019s lazy.  He\u2019s admitted it.  He\u2019s used the word himself to describe himself.  He called himself lazy with Barbara Walters last Christmas.  I\u2019ve got the audio here.  He\u2019s used the word to describe himself.  He said he didn\u2019t like debate prep.  He didn\u2019t use the word &#8220;lazy&#8221; in saying he didn\u2019t like debate prep, but he gave the impression that he is lazy, didn\u2019t want to put in the time, it was a drag.  Anyway, this is the depths to which they have to sink in order to have anything, \u2019cause they don\u2019t have one idea on their side. They don\u2019t have one positive in Obama\u2019s four years on their side. All they have is an attempt to impugn, discredit, smear, what have you, Obama\u2019s opponents.  Chester, I appreciate the call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Chester in Irvine, California. I\u2019m glad you waited. Great to have you here. Hello.
