RUSH: This is like Bob in New Orleans. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re lighting the way for all Americans every day, and we thank you for it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re very kind to say that, sir, very observant, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was excited, very, very excited to see that debate yesterday. I saw a school yard bully step out and say ‘Hey, we\u2019re going to play this game,\u2019 and I saw four politicians raise their hand and wave the white flag and say no, and then I saw my president stand up, I saw my president stand up and say, ‘Hell no, I\u2019m not going to play your game today. We\u2019re not going to play your game today,\u2019 and then I saw the crisis negotiator and the corporate CEO and preacher all get in line behind that leader, behind that president and say, ‘No, that\u2019s right, we\u2019re not going to play that game today.\u2019 And this is the first time I\u2019ve been this excited about a presidential candidate since 1984, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You like what Thompson did with the global warming question I assume is what you mean.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, if these guys are going to surrender to somebody from the Des Moines Register, what the hell are they going to do when they\u2019re up against Ahmadinejad and Putin?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Especially that babe, term used loosely, from the Des Moines Register. Excellent, excellent point. We have audio sound bites of the debate coming up but I wanted to get some phone calls in first. If you didn\u2019t see it, didn\u2019t hear it, we\u2019ve got some audio of what happened with Fred Thompson and the show-of-hands global warming question. Bob, thanks much.<\/p>\n

Jim in Longmont, Colorado, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Professor, I have a hypothesis I want to run by you. I think Oprah has more power, and she could probably tank the Clinton candidacy and the Democratic plantation for good, if she just showed some true moral indignation over the way Clinton has been treating Barack. And to top it all off, you know, she was at the rally with Obama, and she said, although she\u2019s backing Obama, she still likes Hillary. I think she\u2019s going to bite her tongue on that one, and maybe the tipping point will be reached.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, look, Oprah is doing exactly what an Oprah is going to do. She\u2019s picked Obama, but she\u2019s gotta cover her bets in case he doesn\u2019t win, because you don\u2019t want Don Vito Clintonleone and his wife as your enemy. You don\u2019t want that. By the way, the first thing that you said, it would be a mistake for Oprah to go out and start trashing the Clintons on what they\u2019ve done to Obama. That would not look good. That would look weak. That would look defensive. Obama\u2019s playing this just right. He\u2019s ignoring it. He\u2019s taking the high road. He\u2019s continuing to talk about his vacuous policy ideas and not getting too specific about things. He\u2019s handling this with his messianic personality, his charismatic personality while Mrs. Clinton continues to look like Nurse Ratched, even more so. But if anybody\u2019s going to respond to this and act outraged about it, it should be Obama himself, not his wife and certainly not Oprah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, then shouldn\u2019t his wife come out and say, ‘I cannot stand the fact that Clinton\u2019s husband is claiming to be the first black president\u2019? That to me is such an insult.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, she may not be able to say that because she might have gone along with it at the time, I don\u2019t know. But if she went along with that whole concept at the time, she can\u2019t go back on it now. You\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a Democrat who didn\u2019t go along with it. You\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a black person on the Democrat side who didn\u2019t go along with the notion that Clinton was the first black president.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, as a white guy, I find that an insulting comment to all my friends that are black, and I just think it needs to be said —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course, it is. It\u2019s a perversion. It\u2019s like Andrew Young going out there on the Internet, oh, yeah, Clinton, he\u2019s blacker than Obama. Why, he\u2019s been with more black women than Obama\u2019s ever been with. And everybody applauds this. It\u2019s a perversion. All liberalism is essentially a perversion. Jim, thank you much for the call. One place Oprah could do it, is when she gets back to her television show. If she did it on her television show in a very subtle way, such as arranging for a guest of hers to ask her a question, then she could maybe launch into it in that regard.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Democrats are getting revved up for their debate in Iowa in about 20 minutes, and I was wondering if they\u2019re going to get… I hope the Democrats get that same schoolmarm moderator, that editor from the Des Moines Register. By the way, when that started yesterday, I thought, ‘What the hell is Alan Keyes doing in this debate?\u2019 And the Des Moines Register says, ‘Well, according to our criteria, he qualified, everything. He\u2019s got a number of people here, campaign office and so forth.\u2019 Byron York, National Review Online looked at that and found it may not be true. But I guess they kicked Kucinich off the Democrat debate today! So they add somebody with no chance who they think… See, this is how they work. They think that Keyes is a kook, and one kook, Ron Paul, isn\u2019t enough for them. So they want two kooks in the Republican debate to make the Republicans look like a bunch of freaks. When the Democrat debate starts today, there will not be the Democrat kook up there, Dennis Kucinich. There\u2019s no question that\u2019s what the Des Moines Register is doing. They\u2019re the Drive-By Media, and that\u2019s what they do.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Before we actually get to the debate, Huckabee, last night, Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, got this question. ‘When you asked this question to the interviewer, the reporter who wrote the story, you said this: ‘Don\u2019t Mormons believe that Jesus and the Devil are brothers?\u2019 Now, as you know, Mormons say that\u2019s a canard, they don\u2019t believe that, that\u2019s been a canard spread by people who don\u2019t like Mormonism. I want you to explain what you were doing by even raising that question?\u2019<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: After the debate today, I went to Mitt Romney and apologized to him, because I said, I would never try, ever, to try to somehow pick out some point of your faith and make it, you know, an issue, and I wouldn\u2019t. I\u2019ve stayed away from talking about Mitt Romney\u2019s faith. And I told him face to face, I said, ‘I don\u2019t think your being a Mormon ought to make you more or less qualified for being a president.\u2019 That has been my position. Wolf, everybody I\u2019ve talked to just about wants me to come out and say something about Mitt Romney\u2019s faith. I\u2019ve not taken the bait, but if I don\u2019t say something, they say that my avoiding it is really an underlying statement. If I do say anything, then I\u2019m attacking him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you did take the bait because in the New York Times magazine piece on Sunday he asks the question and so forth. But anyway, he apologized, and note the apology came the same day I intervened on this program and told these guys to grow up and stick to the issues that really matter here. And so the apology took place. By the way, Huckabee is going to be on the cover of the next issue of Newsweek magazine. I\u2019ve been on the cover of TIME and when they put me on the cover of TIME they had smoke curling out of my mouth, the snarl, it was a Photoshopped job. No such picture of Romney. So I guess they may be actually trying to promote the guy at Newsweek. Then Blitzer follows up with this question. ‘So how did Mitt Romney react when you went up to him and you said you apologized for that one quote?\u2019<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Well, he was gracious. You know, I hope he knows it was sincere. But, you know, I\u2019m trying to stay away from everything I can say, I\u2019m being much more cautious now because everything is being parsed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Trying to stay away from everything I can say. Isn\u2019t that sort of like saying it but not saying it? They went to Romney, Hannity & Colmes last night, Hannity said, ‘I understand there was an apology offered to you by Governor Huckabee and it was accepted by you. Can you tell us what happened?\u2019<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: Yeah, following the debate, Mike Huckabee apologized for that smear on our faith and the church also put out a statement and said this kind of thing comes up from time to time and that it\u2019s a not accurate perception of our faith and Mike apologized for that. I, of course, accepted his apology.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good. Good, good, good, good. So after the intervention here on this program yesterday, we\u2019re back to what matters. Now, the Drive-Bys, we have a montage of CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, talking about how boring the debate yesterday was. I don\u2019t recall any Democrat debate ever being referred to as boring, not by these guys.<\/p>\n

KRAUTHAMMER: That was the worst debate in western history.<\/p>\n

CAFFERTY: It was awful. I mean it was boring. It was hard to stay awake.<\/p>\n

BARNES: This was a boring debate.<\/p>\n

STONE: Pretty boring debate.<\/p>\n

FRANKEN: The most boring debate perhaps in the history of debates.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, it was very boring. Well, whose fault is this? You\u2019ve got a schoolmarm up there — Dawn, she was a schoolmarm. Did you see her? A schoolmarm, frankly, folks, is being kind. She ran that thing like she was running a prison camp, for crying out loud.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, Alan Keyes somehow made it onto the stage for the Republican debate yesterday, and we have a montage here. Now, remember, the Drive-Bys just got through saying this is the most boring debate that they had ever seen in their lives.<\/p>\n

KEYES: We need to stop listening to these phonies. These folks represent the very elites who year after year after year have destroyed our Constitution, betrayed our rights, and undermined our strength created by our people in the world. I\u2019m in favor of reducing global warming because I think the most important emission we need to control is the hot air of the politicians. Do I have to raise my hand to get a question? I\u2019d like to address that question. No, you\u2019re not. They had a minute. Why do I get 30 seconds? If you really want to see a change in government, then we need to restore the credibility of the Republican Party. Join the political army of America\u2019s revival at alankeyes.com and make sure you become part of that change.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, the Keyesters are back in the debate. Alan Keyes admitted; Dennis Kucinich kicked off the Democrat debate today. Here\u2019s an interesting answer from Romney. The Des Moines Register editor, Carolyn Washburn says, ‘Are there programs or situations that are so important you\u2019d be willing to run a deficit to pay for them?\u2019<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: Well, we don\u2019t have run a deficit to pay for the things that are most important because we can eliminate the things that aren\u2019t critical. We have in the federal government 342 different economic development programs —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: — often administered by different departments.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: We don\u2019t need 342.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: We have 40 different programs for workforce training.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: There are probably five or six that are really working and a lot that are not working terribly well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: We can get rid of some of those. We have 13 different programs to prevent teenage pregnancy —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: — they\u2019re obviously not working real well, and we could probably cut it down to one or two that are making a difference.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love this answer. We don\u2019t have to run the deficit to pay for the things that are most important, we can eliminate the things that aren\u2019t critical, all the redundancy that we have in these social programs. The next question, Carolyn Washburn says to Romney, ‘Who in this country is paying more than a fair share of taxes relative to everybody else: the wealthy, the middle class, the poor, or corporations?\u2019<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: I don\u2019t stay awake at night worrying about the taxes that rich people are paying, to tell you the truth. I\u2019m concerned about the taxes that middle-class families are paying. They\u2019re under a lot of pressure. Gasoline is expensive, home heating oil, particularly in the Northeast, is very difficult for folks. Health care costs are going through the roof, education costs and higher education are overwhelming. And, as a result, we need to reduce the burden on middle-income families in this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That wasn\u2019t Romney. Who was that? That didn\u2019t sound — play number 15 again, I want to hear Romney\u2019s — just play number 15. It\u2019s my hearing, folks, some voices sound the same. That wasn\u2019t Romney —<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: Well, we don\u2019t have to run a deficit to pay for the things that are most important —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, it is Romney. Play 16 again.<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: I don\u2019t stay awake at night worrying about the taxes that rich people are paying, to tell you the truth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I guess that\u2019s Romney. All right, all right, that\u2019s fine, stupid answer, we don\u2019t need to hear it again. Don\u2019t stay awake at night worrying about the taxes that rich people are paying, to tell you the truth? You better be, because the Democrats are going to soak everybody! Mitt, come on, you gotta be concerned about the taxes that everybody is paying. I know you\u2019re trying to appeal to a much larger group of people, the middle class and so forth, but that could have been done better. On to Fred Thompson, who decided that he would make a couple of jokes at Romney\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

THOMPSON: My goal is to get into Mitt Romney\u2019s situation where I don\u2019t have to worry about taxes anymore. (laughter)<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: I\u2019d like to get in your situation. (laughter)<\/p>\n

THOMPSON: Five percent — well, you know, you\u2019re getting to be a pretty good actor, actually. (laughter)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ooohhhh! Tuppa tuppa tuppa there from Fred Thompson, squeezing it in there a couple of times. Now this is the question that the audience loved or the incident. The moderator said, ‘I want to take on a new issue. I\u2019d like to see a show of hands. How many of you believe global climate change is a serious threat and caused by human activity?\u2019<\/p>\n

THOMPSON: You want to give me a minute to answer that?<\/p>\n

WASHBURN: No, I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

THOMPSON: Well, then I\u2019m not going to answer it. (laughter)<\/p>\n

WASHBURN: Okay. (applause)<\/p>\n

THOMPSON: You want a show of hands. I\u2019m not giving it to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s not going to play the game. He\u2019s not going to do this kind of thing. The people there loved this, and then she said, ‘Well, how about 30 seconds?\u2019 He said, ‘No, you ask me a question, I\u2019m going to answer it. I\u2019m not going to give you a show of hands.\u2019 Now, here\u2019s Huckabee. The question is: ‘What do you believe you could accomplish in your first year as president.\u2019<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: The first priority of the next president is to be a president of all the United States. We are right now a very polarized country, and that polarized country has led to a paralyzed government. We\u2019ve got Democrats who fight Republicans, liberals fighting conservatives. The left fights the right. Who\u2019s fighting for this country again? And somehow we gotta quit fighting among ourselves as conservatives and as Republicans and start putting the better interests of this nation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know you Hucksters are out there. This bothers me. This sounds like Brokaw. ‘I don\u2019t care what the solution is, liberal or conservative, I don\u2019t care.\u2019 I do! Liberal solutions are destroying the fabric of this country. And, as such, conservatives fighting liberals is what this election is about! The left being defeated is what this election is about. That is fighting for the country. Bad answer. Fred Thompson up next. Carolyn Washburn says, ‘Senator Thompson, you\u2019ve expressed doubts that the recent report on Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities is accurate. As president, how would you decide when to disagree with available intelligence and then what would you do?\u2019<\/p>\n

THOMPSON: Well, that\u2019s probably the most important question that\u2019s been asked today. We have a real problem with our intelligence community. It along with certain parts of our military were neglected for a long, long time in this country, and we\u2019re paying the price for it now. The fact is that nobody has any real confidence in the result that they\u2019re getting and the result you\u2019re talking about was directly contradicted by their strong beliefs just two years ago. So you\u2019ve got to rebuild from the bottom up. I think that in the meantime, we have to rely on other people. The British are helpful to us; the Israelis sometimes are helpful to us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Next question, ‘Give me two examples, Governor Huckabee, you\u2019ve not previously given, one on health care, one on education, where your faith would define change you want to see in policy.\u2019<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: The two overriding principles are, you treat others as you wish to be treated, as it relates in health care, that means that we recognize that a person who is sick shouldn\u2019t be treated differently because they\u2019re in poverty than a person who has extraordinary wealth, that we have some sense of balance in how we approach that. That\u2019s the essence of what America is about. The second basic principle is that inasmuch as you\u2019ve done it to the least of these, my brethren, you\u2019ve done it unto me. What it really means is that you go back to what the Founding Fathers said, ‘All of us are created equal, endowed by our creator with those rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. You could get that answer from John Edwards. Poverty, a person who has extraordinary wealth — see, this gets to the notion that health care is a constitutional right and that we\u2019re all entitled to the same health care. Are we all entitled to the same hotel rooms? Are he we all entitled to the same cars? Are we all entitled to the same homes? Are we all entitled to the same shampoo? Are we all entitled to the same Band-Aids? Are we all entitled to the same food? Are we all entitled to a house on the beach? We\u2019re Americans, we\u2019re created equal, God created us equal….life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Are we all entitled to the same happiness? This notion of health care in this mix as somehow a constitutional right — not the case. What are you saying, Rush? Are you saying the poor shouldn\u2019t get as good a health care? No. I\u2019m not saying that. I\u2019m saying that what happens is that you end up, when the government is going to run this, nobody\u2019s going to get good health care, and whoever\u2019s getting the best is going to see it worsen. I\u2019m speaking in a concept of principles in the first place. Here you have a conservative running for the presidency, adopting the class envy of a John Edwards.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
