RUSH: Welcome to Open Line Friday, Katherine.CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s such a privilege to talk with you.RUSH: Thank you very, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am calling from Michigan, and we are now the bottom of the 50 states for our economy. And because it\u2019s tax, tax, tax. And then yesterday I talked with my sister in Scotland, and she read it in their paper over there how Michigan is doing so badly because of everything being taxed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding. They\u2019re not publishing that story in this country.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your sister live over there, or she just visiting?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, she lives over there now. But she\u2019d rather be here of course.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then why isn\u2019t she? Why is she over there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, because her husband won\u2019t leave there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Isn\u2019t that always the case?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. But, you know, if anybody wants to see what this country would be like run by the Democrats, they gotta just look at Michigan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sorry, look at Jimmy Carter. Look at the whole country back in the 1970s. I understand what you\u2019re getting at, you got a good point there. But just go back to the 1970s with Jimmy Carter. He even did a speech about the national malaise.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was three decades of prosperity that followed Jimmy Carter with the election of Ronaldus Magnus, which is something the libs want to try to revise historically so that people will not make that association with Republicans — well, conservatives and prosperity. I was in Michigan. I went up there for WJR Rush to Excellence Tour and drove around, and I talked to some people, always the same complaint as yours, ‘We\u2019re just being taxed here beyond our ability here to amass wealth and have any prosperity.\u2019 It\u2019s sort of like when tax revenue then falls short in the state of Michigan, they go out, ‘We gotta raise taxes again. We didn\u2019t get enough last time.\u2019 I think at the state level, it\u2019s interesting to note how many states in this country are overflowing with cash. They\u2019re running surpluses. The experts are stunned. They are shocked at how this can be. Experts are shocked and stunned at how well the US economy is doing tax receipt-wise, the deficit, $205 billion, it was going to be a monster that we were going to be eaten by and so forth, it was going to destroy us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what I think makes it all the more important that people really pay attention to this stuff because you listen to the Democrats and they\u2019re out there promising to get rid of the Bush tax cuts, they\u2019re promising to get rid of all the things that have created more revenue to the government than they could of dream of having and people say, ‘Well, isn\u2019t that what they want?\u2019 Well, they\u2019ll borrow it first. What they want more, folks, is control over your life, remember, they\u2019re liberals. The evidence is all over to see. Now Hillary wants to take over privately run preschools and have the state governments run them. Remember when Kerry was talking about the aftermath of the Vietnam War and people were put in reeducation camps? ‘They\u2019ve done pretty well,\u2019 Kerry said. Well, why do you think Hillary wants your four-year-old for? Liberals want your kids as soon as they can get \u2019em to start this liberal indoctrination, or think of it as reeducation.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s just talk about the economy here for just a second. I just came across a piece published today at FinancialSense.com by Jeffrey Nyquist. It\u2019s entitled, ‘The Coming Malaise.\u2019 He said, ‘Remember President Carter\u2019s 1979 Malaise Speech? Americans were losing faith in the country\u2019s future, he said. They were closing the door on America\u2019s past. President Carter wanted to turn things around. He warned that rising materialism would not ‘fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.\u2019 He said it was a crisis of American spirit. In response to this crisis, Carter wanted the authority to ration gasoline, form an ‘energy mobilization board,\u2019 create a bureaucracy to guarantee that we would ‘never use more foreign oil than we did in 1977,\u2019 set oil import quotas and develop solar power. ‘These efforts will cost money,\u2019 Carter explained, ‘a lot of money&hellip;.” Now, this was a genuine malaise. He was right. The country was dispirited, but it was because of him! Coming out of Watergate, he puts all these things out there. It was an absolute mess. It is not a mess today, but Democrats are trying to recreate the same mind-set.<\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019m taking a break from reading this story to you. Democrats are trying to create the same mind-set that existed in this country in 1970s in the midst of prosperity. Back during Carter\u2019s days we had the ‘misery index\u2019 to actually measure inflation and interest rates and they were both through the roof. It was genuine malaise. So he wants the authority to ration gasoline, Energy Mobilization Board, bureaucracy to guarantee we would never use more foreign oil than we did in 1977? I mean, you hear the libs recycle the same arguments today. Well… ‘The country rejected President Carter\u2019s call, and subsequently enjoyed three decades of prosperity. Carter\u2019s policy was rejected because the American people didn\u2019t want a lower standard of living. They didn\u2019t want to forfeit their economic freedom. The American people cling to material happiness with a ferocious animal cunning. They do not believe in giving up, or giving over to obstacles. They want a good life. Their materialism is fundamental, and so is their comfort. They will reject any politician who tells them bad news. They will reject any policy based on pessimism. This is the lesson of the 1970s, taught by\u2019 Ronaldus Magnus, and he was exactly right, then.<\/p>\n

This is where people are worried today. The doom and gloom in the midst of prosperity seems to have captured the thoughts, the imagination of people, and they seem willing to embrace lamebrain ideas like global warming that will reduce their standard of living and their freedom. They seem to be, in large numbers, accepting the notion of the bad news that\u2019s out there. Sure enough, Mr. Nyquist writes here: ‘What we are seeing today is reminiscent of the 1970s. First, there is dollar inflation, understated by government statistics. Then there is the stagnation in the U.S. economy. An old depressing pattern has appeared again. We see an American president discredited and the presidency weakened; an unpopular overseas military commitment; rising oil prices; increasing government regulation and higher taxes. We know what happened at the end of the 1970s. American weakness and malaise led to aggressive Communist moves in Africa, Latin America and Asia (Angola, Nicaragua and Afghanistan). Then came the humiliation of the Iran Hostage Crisis. The trauma of the 1970s ended with the appearance of\u2019 Ronaldas Magnus ‘in the White House.<\/p>\n

‘Weathering a severe recession with steady optimism,\u2019 Ronaldas Magnus ‘shepherded the United States toward a period of sustained prosperity and apparent victory in the Cold War. As we look ahead to next year\u2019s presidential race, however, we don\u2019t see anyone resembling Ronald Reagan. The likely winner will be a Democrat and the Democrat philosophy isn\u2019t the philosophy of Reagan. The Republican Party has been wounded by President Bush\u2019s failed Iraq adventure. In recent days the polls show the three leading Democratic candidates beating the top Republican candidates….The Republican candidates haven\u2019t found their footing. They haven\u2019t found the right things to say. Attempting to mimic Reagan won\u2019t work, because the public mood has shifted and the Democratic candidates can also mimic Reagan.\u2019 In fact, as a little aside, I saw something in the news the other day about Barack Obama\u2019s spokesman saying, ‘Reagan is our model. ‘I am the agent of change.\u2019 Reagan is our model.\u2019 Optimism, upbeat, that\u2019s what Obama wants to be. That\u2019s who his campaign model is; that\u2019s what his manager said. Disbelief, I know, is coursing through your veins right now. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s pulling it off, but that\u2019s their idea, and that\u2019s how he hopes to be the agent of the change.<\/p>\n

Now, Mr. Nyquist says, ‘The United States is no longer a healthy republic. Perhaps I am alone in thinking that a monster has been growing inside America. It is the monster of political passion, misguided ideology and moral confusion. It is a monster born of a consumption culture whose intellectual and moral standards have been falling. There is every reason to believe that the political criminals of the future will pose as do-gooders.\u2019 Well, they always do. ‘Their urge, however, will be to reduce the people to subjection while pillaging the economy. The clever demagogue knows how to divide and conquer. He creates and exploits the dividing line between rich and poor, black and white, immigrant and native. Listen carefully. Notice whether a presidential candidate appeals to goodness and justice or resentment and envy.\u2019 Goodness and justice is… Well, Democrats have been doing this divide-and-conquer routine — pitting men against women; black against white; rich versus poor — for as long as I\u2019ve been alive. There is a way to overcome it. Anyway, he says, ‘It is not a good thing when resentment and envy gain the upper hand in political discourse. Those who seek prosperity at other\u2019s expense easily imagine that wealth is a matter of theft. Through the repetition of this theme, people may gradual come to accept an evil idea. If this idea hardens into a universal belief, the political arena can degenerate into gangsterism. The political cynicism of our time, in which all political leaders are rated as criminals, logically leads to the assumption that crime pays.\u2019 There\u2019s nothing really new about this.<\/p>\n

Congress, since the days of Will Rogers, we\u2019ve been joking about it. Nothing is really new here. I wanted to share the treatment here of the issue here by Mr. Nyquist. He says, ‘I will end with a quote from Gustav Le Bon: ‘Our epoch &hellip; can be understood only by grasping the role played by the mysticism of the people and their leaders.\u2019 He further stated: ‘One cannot govern a people with true ideas but only with beliefs accepted as truths.” I share this with you because a lot of people are concerned about falling morality, instability, the sense of angst that exists out there. I think the economy is in much better shape than Mr. Nyquist portrays it here. I know: 3.4% growth second quarter. Surprising, again, all the ‘experts.\u2019 It\u2019s easy to become obsessed with pessimism and doom and gloom. Folks, just trust me on this. If you fight that and just within the confines of your family and your friends and so forth, just be thankful for what have you, and be thankful for the opportunity to acquire more, to do more, to achieve more, to teach your kids more, the opportunities are never better, and they\u2019re boundless. But you have to go get \u2019em. They\u2019re not going to come knocking on your door because they feel sorry for you. You know, ‘Can\u2019t\u2019 never did anything, and pessimists never sold a book. (Well, not in the numbers that the optimists do.) Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. The president was talking about the economy this morning in Washington, after a meeting wide receivers economic advisors about the GDP report released today, the president said…<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: The world economy is strong and I happen to believe one of the main reasons why is because we remain strong, and my pledge to the American people is we will keep your taxes low to make sure the economy continues to remain strong, and we\u2019ll be wise about how we spend your money here in Washington DC. I\u2019ve submitted a budget that will be in balance by 2012, and I look forward to working with Congress to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So CNN anchorette Heidi Collins after listening to the president\u2019s comments, added these remarks.<\/p>\n

COLLINS: Some comments there from President Bush, directly after meeting with his economic advisors, and we should tell you that this meeting, uh, with his economic advisors, according to the White House, was not in response to, uh, yesterday\u2019s great sell-off. The Dow Jones, uh, Industrial Average is down about 311 points as I\u2019m sure you all well know. We are watching those numbers for you, down about two points now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve keeping track on the plummet, yes, when the numbers were skyrocketing, we didn\u2019t bother to take the time to tell you about that, until it hit 14,000, but now that there was a sell, now the numbers are going, we\u2019re going to keep you posted on every two-point drop out there! The sell-off is continuing today, by the way. Go to ABC, Good Morning America. Cohost Chris Matthews spoke with the financial contributor Mellody Dobson. He said, ‘Let\u2019s take a half step back for some perspective here. We see the market go down, investors get worried, but what did this mean yesterday? Where does it fit into history?\u2019<\/p>\n

DOBSON: Well, even though triple-digit losses get everyone worked up —<\/p>\n

CUOMO: Mmm-hmm?<\/p>\n

DOBSON: — this was the seventh biggest point decline in stock market history, but it didn\u2019t even rate in terms of a percentage decline in terms of the big losing days. The market was down about 2%, and that really puts things in perspective.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Unbelievable! We\u2019ve got somebody here that wants to be Erin Burnett. Erin Burnett has a monopoly on getting the truth out about these kinds of things, and now here\u2019s Mellody Dobson getting on the bandwagon. Unbelievable. A perspective that\u2019s accurate was put forth on Good Morning America today! All right, let\u2019s see. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s it. We don\u2019t have a quote from Erin Burnett. You gotta get more Erin Burnett out there, Joe, on this program, otherwise Mellody Dobson is going to be stealing some thunder out there.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve been playing economic sound bites. Mellody Dobson, ABC, put things in perspective today in the stock market, that day it lost, what, 300 points or whatever. It\u2019s down again today some, but she put it in perspective. She said, hey, 2% drop, there\u2019s nothing to be worried about here. This is a percentage basis. This is nothing compared. If it had fallen three or four hundred points when at 7200, it\u2019s a bigger deal, but we\u2019re at 14,000, it drops, don\u2019t panic here. Unbelievable for the Drive-By Media to take a story that fits the action line of the economy\u2019s falling apart because of George W. Bush. So I put out a call here to Joe who\u2019s up there assembling the audio sound bites while Cookie is on maternity leave, and I said, “You can\u2019t leave out Erin Burnett here, the Street Sweetie,” and, lo and behold, she was on Scarborough\u2019s show today on PMSNBC Morning Joe and she was reporting on the Dow Jones sell-off yesterday. This is what Erin Burnett said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BURNETT: I want to remind everybody of three things, three things that should show you that you shouldn\u2019t be a lemming and run off the cliff. This is not an Armageddon-like situation. Here they are. We\u2019re just 4% away from an all-time high for the market, just 4% from an all-time high. And even if we fell another 850 points, we\u2019d still be all right, because if we fell another 850 points, that would be 10% off of the level we hit last week when we were on here with great fanfare yelling and screaming about 14,000 on the Dow. That\u2019s just what we call a garden variety correction. So, hey, 850 points down today, and you should still be okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I am so happy she still has her job after the first time I praised her, now doing it again. I realize I keep doing this, same thing with Mellody Dobson. If the past is any indication, I am putting their careers at risk by citing their work, but it\u2019s great to hear. It\u2019s great to see that this kind of accurate, sensible, rational economic reporting is taking place out there.<\/p>\n

Now, right before the break, you might have heard this at the top of the hour, but ‘Four days after the Democratic debate in Charleston, S.C,. more than 400 questions directed to the GOP presidential field have been uploaded on YouTube — targeted at Republicans scheduled to get their turn at videopopulism on Sept. 17. But so far, only Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) have agreed to participate in the debate, co-hosted by Republican Party of Florida in St. Petersburg. ‘Aside from those two candidates, we haven\u2019t heard from anyone else,\u2019 said Sam Feist of CNN, who\u2019s co-sponsoring the debate with the popular videosharing site. Rudolph Giuliani and Mitt Romney, both with dozens of videos on their YouTube channels, have not signed up. Neither have the rest of the Republican candidates, including Rep. Tom Tancredo. … ‘We haven\u2019t committed to any of them yet,\u2019 Madden said. In an interview Wednesday with the Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader, Romney said he\u2019s not a fan of the CNN\/YouTube format. Referring to the video of a snowman asking the Democratic candidates about global warming, Romney quipped, ‘I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman.”<\/p>\n

All right, you know something else, Mitt is out there hammering the Democrats every day. He is literally hammering them out there every day. Good for you, Mitt. One more thing, folks, this public cynicism about your kids\u2019 future that some of you probably feel, remember, we were in a malaise during the Carter years because we were miserable. There was a genuine malaise. People are trying to talk you into being miserable today, and it\u2019s not that difficult to do, with a daily pounding from the Drive-By Media. We had double-digit inflation, unemployment, Iran hostages, diminished world standing, we had it all back in the Carter seventies. So now we have Democrats hell-bent on telling you how miserable you are even though the economy is surprisingly strong, GDP at 3.4%, most recent figure. Carteresque inflation is nowhere in sight. The war is starting to go well. But yet they say the stock market\u2019s imploding. That\u2019s why we played these sound bites from these two economic reporters to put it all in perspective, because it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

Then you have a story in the San Francisco Chronicle, it\u2019s actually a Washington Post story, but we got it from the Chronicle. Look at the headline here: ‘Car bomb tears up crowded market, killing at least 25 — Once-safe Baghdad neighborhood has seen surge in attacks.\u2019 Now, come on. That headline is purposely written to confuse and to destroy the whole progress that\u2019s gone on with the surge of new US troops to root out Al-Qaeda. There\u2019s a surge in attacks because we are there, obviously. However, the BBC, amazingly, the most liberal news organization in the world outside of the new Iranian news agency, actually puts this in perspective. ‘During the seven-day period to July 25th, the number of violent deaths across the country of Iraq was 414, 219 less than the previous week. So the real picture is, just this week alone, violent deaths down across Iraq, coalition casualties are down, as was the number of Iraqi police who were killed. Although the number of civilians killed was higher than any other group, it was much lower than the toll of the previous week.\u2019 Yet the Washington Post is treating everybody to the news that the surge is leading to a new surge in attacks and so forth.<\/p>\n

Reagan was not only optimistic — this is the thing, folks, it\u2019s a good point, too. Reagan was not only optimistic. He was right. His was not a phony optimism. It was not false in any way. It was right. He understood the basic nature of Americans. He understood the nature, the traditions, institutions that made the country great, and he appealed to them, and he appealed to the best in people. It\u2019s just waiting to happen again. You don\u2019t have to be Reagan to do it. You don\u2019t have to have his personality or his words. All you have to do is have the same opinions, the same passions about the country and its greatness, its potential. You have to understand that it\u2019s the people who make the country work. It is not elites. It\u2019s not academia. It\u2019s not corporate CEOs. It\u2019s not government elites and elected officials. The people who make the country work are you. You\u2019re out there, the people toiling away in anonymity, not seeking fame, not trying to get noticed, not uploading YouTube videos. ‘Please notice me, I want to be famous.\u2019<\/p>\n

There are people out there in the millions who make this country work, and it\u2019s to those people you appeal; it\u2019s to those people that you try to inspire; it\u2019s those people you thank; it\u2019s those people you encourage. If you have a genuine belief in what I just said, that the people, average, ordinary Americans accomplishing extraordinary things, if you believe that that\u2019s what makes the country work, and you run around and tell people this, cite the statistics, give them some hope — everybody needs leadership, there are very few self-starters out there — then you can write your own ticket. But the tendency in politics these days is to dwell on the negative, to get people frightened, because then you hope, if you take that tack, that they will eventually surrender some control over their lives to let you fix, as a politician, what you tell them is wrong. The worst thing can happen is that. People get up every day and wait for somebody else to make it right for them. We have class envy in this country, which has been exploited by Democrats for years and years and years. It\u2019s brought about by people who are not doing well or not happy, looking around and seeing other people who are.<\/p>\n

Of course, they think it\u2019s unfair, so a politician comes along, ‘I\u2019m going to punish those people. I\u2019m going to raise their taxes. I\u2019m going to make it harder for them.\u2019 People go, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t improve their lives any, but they get this satisfaction that those people are going to be gotten even with. The way that people ought to look at this is, ‘Wait a minute, I keep hearing how rotten this economy is, but look at what I see, this person or family doing well.\u2019 It ought to show people it\u2019s possible for everybody, not just for a select few. That\u2019s been the magic, the miracle of this country, is that anybody who wants it can go out and take a stab at it, regardless what government obstacles are in the way. What\u2019s so frustrating to me as I listen to any candidate from any party start campaigning for national office, presidency or what have you, to not even talk about any of this, when the lesson of two landslides in the 1980s is right there to be followed. You don\u2019t have to fake it. You can be right in your optimism when you\u2019re talking about the future of the United States.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
