RUSH: Snerdley brought me this story this morning, said, ‘Do you believe this?\u2019 He came in with the biggest frown on his face. He said, ‘Just read this, just read this,\u2019 threw it down in front of me, and I picked it up. It\u2019s a Reuters story: ”McCain Says Americans Too Cynical\u2019 — US Republican presidential candidate John McCain believes many Americans are cynical about their country and their idea of liberty is ‘the right to choose among competing brands of designer coffee.\u2019 He\u2019s making a speech today about this. ”What these people need is a good dose of public service.\u2019 That\u2019s one of the messages McCain will give today in a visit to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis where he admittedly –‘ what\u2019s this got to do with anything? ‘– where he admittedly bucked authority and slacked off on his studies to the point where he graduated fifth from the bottom.\u2019 Why throw that in there? Everybody knows that. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to make a prediction to you. All of the Drive-By Media reports on all these deficiencies of both Hillary and Obama, Hillary and NAFTA, Hillary and Bosnia, Obama and whatever else he\u2019s misspeaking about, I guarantee you this — and those of you in the McCain camp, I want you to listen to this — because after the Democrats have chosen their nominee, all of the critical analysis that we are seeing of the Democrats in the Drive-By Media is going to cease, and it will all be transferred to McCain. He will be the sole recipient of all this kind of garbage, where he admittedly bucked authority. So did I. I turned out pretty well. He slacked off on his studies. So did I. The point that he graduated — I didn\u2019t even graduate. Look at me, fine, one of the leaders of this country, one of the leaders of our movement, one of the hugest personalities ever in Big Media. Throw that stuff in there. That\u2019s just a little forewarning of what\u2019s going to happen once the Democrats get their nominee. Now, let\u2019s get to the nut here of what he\u2019s talking about with Americans being too cynical. By the way, two paragraphs prior to the nut of his remarks, it says this: ‘McCain, who would be the oldest person ever elected to a first presidential term,\u2019 (laughing) who owned Halliburton stuck at one time and has been a longtime supporter of the failed policy in Iraq, blah, blah, blah, add it all up, this will be what they say — will argue that ‘Americans need to take up a cause greater than themselves — join the military, help feed the hungry, seek public office.\u2019<\/p>\n

Well, I certainly believe in the notion of becoming aware of things greater than yourself. That happened to Hillary Clinton I think when she was 50. To most people, it happens in their teenage years or early twenties, sometimes a little later than that. ‘McCain says that many Americans are indifferent to or cynical about the virtues that our country claims.\u2019 The virtues that our country claims? We claim virtues, or we are virtuous? See, I think we are virtuous. What do you mean, claim? That\u2019s like, I\u2019ve had several interviews with the Drive-By Media over the course of my heralded career, and I point out to them, ‘I\u2019m the most listened to program in the country.\u2019 They write, ‘Limbaugh claims to have the most listened to –‘ Anyway, Algore says we are destroying the planet, and Ted Turner last night on Charlie Rose says it\u2019s going to be so bad, we\u2019re all going to end up cannibals. They don\u2019t say Ted Turner claims or that Algore claims. They just report it as fact. ‘McCain said some are cynical because they have suffered economic dislocations while others profit as never before, and in part, it is a ‘reaction to government\u2019s mistakes and incompetence and to the selfishness of some public figures.”<\/p>\n

Now, he says that this cynicism is because some of you people have suffered economic dislocations while others profit as never before. That phrase could come right out of the Democrat Party playbook. That phrase has probably been uttered in countless ways, different ways and countless times by every Democrat in Congress at one point or another. And besides that, profits as never before? Has he never heard of the Vanderbilts? Never heard of the Rockefellers? Speaking of which, how come Jay Rockefeller is never asked about the price of oil? Hmm? It\u2019s the source of his family fortune. How come he\u2019s never asked about it? And then, ‘McCain came close to calling some Americans spoiled, saying they are cynical because their wealth and opportunity have ‘led them to the mistaken conclusion that America, and the liberties its system of government is intended to protect, just aren\u2019t important to the quality of their lives.”<\/p>\n

Now, this is a toughie because I do think that they\u2019re — maybe ‘spoiled\u2019 isn\u2019t the right word. If people are born in this country and have never left this country and have never seen what life is like elsewhere in the world, their expectations are going to be astronomically high based on their life experiences in this country. We have economic downturns. We have economic cycles. They happen all the time. People get outraged and get mad. Why? Because of expectations. We have truckers, because of the high cost of diesel, stopping traffic in New Jersey yesterday on the turnpike. We have a story in USA Today about people going to the grocery store now unable to buy the same amount of food they used to buy with the same budget, and so now they\u2019re having to change lifestyles and so forth, and all of this is being portrayed as something catastrophic and horrible, yet these things happen constantly. People demand that government — this is the danger — people demand that government fix this, fix the high price of gas. Government doesn\u2019t fix the price of gas. Fix the high price of oil. Fix the price of food. Why? Because they have expectations, expectations born of being Americans. They don\u2019t know what real economic hardship is, but to them, economic hardship they experience is real on a comparative basis. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not being critical here. But it can lead to the notion of being spoiled, and that is, having something that\u2019s just phenomenally fabulous in your life and not having great appreciation for it and not understanding how it happens. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what he means when he says that people are spoiled. It is the way I would discuss it, but he doesn\u2019t. He says, ‘led them to the mistaken conclusion that America, and the liberties its system of government is intended to protect, just aren\u2019t important to the quality of their lives.\u2019 Now, I\u2019m going to have to translate that. I guess he thinks that people don\u2019t have a significant understanding of the Constitution and our founding and don\u2019t understand how that is relevant to their freedom and their liberty, because they define liberty as the choice of coffee in the grocery store or different types of coffee when they go into Starbucks or something like that. So, anyway, I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s interesting about this to me is that you don\u2019t hear it. <\/p>\n

People have jokingly said to me over the course of my heralded career, ‘Why don\u2019t you run for office?\u2019 I say, ‘Well, pay cut, number one, but number two, I wouldn\u2019t last after my first campaign speech.\u2019 ‘Well, why not?\u2019 ‘Well, because, I\u2019d basically say to people, ‘I\u2019m not the one that\u2019s gonna make your life better, you are. I\u2019m not the one, as president, that makes the country work, you are. I\u2019m not here to fix every little problem that you have. You are. As president, I\u2019m here to make sure the liberals do not take over this country, take away your freedom, and defend us from any kind of foreign attack, protect and defend the Constitution, but when it comes to your economic viability, my job is to get as many government obstacles out of your way and then you are on your own,” and, bam, I\u2019m gone. I\u2019ll tell you why. In this USA Today story on the rising cost of food today, if I were a candidate and following my instincts, I would say to people, ‘Yes, and let me tell you why,\u2019 and I\u2019d go into the explanation. I\u2019d be out after that appearance, unless I also said, (doing Clinton impression) ‘I feel your pain. I know how hard it is out there. It\u2019s so bad, and I\u2019m working every day to do anything I can to make sure that these prices come down,\u2019 and then I might stand a chance. <\/p>\n

But if I gave a speech in which I try to inspire and motivate people to overcome obstacles that we face in life each and every day, rather than say, ‘Gosh, that\u2019s so bad, I feel so sorry for you. I wish there was something I could do. You know what? I\u2019m going to work hard as I can. I\u2019m going to make sure to punish these people who are raising your prices.\u2019 Then I\u2019d be a star. But that isn\u2019t me. McCain is coming close here to my approach with this speech he\u2019s going to give at Annapolis. Not totally all the way there, but he\u2019s coming close. He\u2019s sounding a little liberal, and he\u2019s using some of these phrases out of the liberal handbook, but telling people they\u2019re spoiled, telling people that there are things larger in life than themselves, to stop whining and to get over it is essentially what he\u2019s saying here, that\u2019s pretty gutsy for a politician. You don\u2019t hear politicians speak that way, especially politicians seeking the presidency. Now, I\u2019m going to stop there because if I go any further, independents and Democrats will think I\u2019m praising McCain and will be less inclined to support him.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, Senator McCain was a little contradictory here in his comments, and I think maybe one of the things that might bother some of you as I went through his quotes here, is where he says, ‘The ease which wealth and opportunity have given their lives led them to the mistaken conclusion that America…\u2019 Now, some of you might be offended by that, and say, ‘What do you mean, ‘the ease which wealth and opportunity have given their lives\u2019?\u2019 Some of you might think that what McCain means here is that people have not worked hard for what they have and that that\u2019s another phrase right out of the left\u2019s liberal handbook. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what he means. He may not. I\u2019m just interpreting this, perhaps, in a way that you aren\u2019t. This has been my point for as long as I\u2019ve been behind this microphone. There is more opportunity, there is more affluence, there is more wealth in this country than ever before — and there\u2019s going to be more tomorrow than there was today. I don\u2019t care about these economic cycles. They come and go. It\u2019s going to happen. <\/p>\n

You can do it! You are not excluded. We have freedom. You can create your own job if you don\u2019t like where you\u2019re working. You can go out and make yourself whatever you want to be. Now, McCain may not be saying this. McCain may be saying that all these rich people have all this rich stuff and they don\u2019t care enough about the country. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s what he\u2019s saying. I didn\u2019t interpret it that way. I\u2019m interpreting it, perhaps, in a way that you wouldn\u2019t interpret it, either. But regardless what Senator McCain is saying, the fact of the matter is that compared to anywhere else in the world, the opportunity — for affluence, education, contentment, happiness — is better in this country than anywhere in the world, which is why I get so frustrated when people I do think are spoiled start whining and moaning and ask for somebody else to help \u2019em. Do you know we had a story the other day (where is it, in Ohio?) that half the people in Ohio are on food stamps. Was it Ohio or somewhere? Maybe half the country? It wasn\u2019t half the country. <\/p>\n

It was like half the population in some states is on food stamps. Of course, the Drive-By Media portray this, ‘Oh, the country is going to hell in a handbasket! This is a horrible economic downturn. The Bush administration, only the rich are getting food!\u2019 The food stamp authority advertises! The food stamp authority solicits participants! The damn federal government is trying to get people hooked on dependence on the federal government. It isn\u2019t necessary. But you talk to a beat cop anywhere in town where you live, and you ask him what happens when they open the homeless shelter or food kitchen. The crowds in that neighborhood multiply by geometric proportions. So here comes the government, in an election year, giving out food stamps, advertising — and they\u2019ve been soliciting for food stamp applicants for years. We\u2019ve been talking about it on this program, and so it does roil me when people, maybe because of the way they\u2019ve been taught, the way they\u2019ve been raised, the way they\u2019ve been educated, do not understand the glory of this country, the limitless opportunities that are there, and get caught up in the daily minutia of things. <\/p>\n

Life, sometimes it\u2019s hard, sometimes it\u2019s very hard, accepting challenges and overcoming them is part of it. Nobody — nobody, including God — ever said that life was going to be painless, ever said it was going to be pain free, ever said it was going to be easy. I don\u2019t think people have a decent enough historical perspective of how tough it was it was to live around the world hundreds of years ago, when the life expectancy was 35 or 40. They have exhumed bones, bodies. They\u2019ve examined the skeletal remains of some people from hundreds of years ago. They worked hard, these people. We can\u2019t relate. We simply cannot relate to how tough it was. I\u2019m not suggesting we go back to it. I\u2019m just trying to appreciate a little appreciation for what\u2019s here rather than beating the country up. I\u2019m so sick and tired of hearing the country beaten up. I have to put up with it every day. My job is to listen to what liberals say, and I have to listen to them trash this country each and every day. I listen to them trash the military. I listen to them trash Big Oil. <\/p>\n

The very guys that are putting gasoline in your car are being trashed, and you are being conditioned to hate their guts while the guys on the committee wouldn\u2019t know the first thing about putting gas in your car, have not done one thing to get gas in your car, and you think they are your savior. Well, you don\u2019t, but a lot of people do. The price of oil, yeah, is going way up. You know what? A lot of other things are going up. How about the price of gold? The price of gold\u2019s gone through the roof. I want to know what the hell\u2019s going on with that. Where is a congressional hearing to bring in Big Gold? Have you looked at the price of jewelry? You gonna go out there and get engaged, get married — I hope not, but if you are — are you going to go out there and buy diamonds? Have you seen the price escalations? They bring Big Jewelry in, $350 an ounce is about… I just think they just ought to set the gold price at 350 bucks an ounce instead of close to a thousand, and make this ‘fair.\u2019 This kind of stuff is really frustrating to me and I thought McCain might have been on to something. Maybe he\u2019s not. Who knows? We\u2019ll know more later.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll admit it. I don\u2019t know what the hell McCain is saying, other than he\u2019s spouting some liberal stuff in this speech at Annapolis today about the haves and have-nots. I agree with all that. But I will say this: If he\u2019s going to lecture the American people about who they need to be, he might be just a little bit off the mark. Let him attack the liberals (which he won\u2019t do). Let him attack the bureaucrats (which he won\u2019t do). Let him attack the judges (which he won\u2019t do). But the American people, generally, are the people who make the country work. It\u2019s sort of way off to start criticizing the American people in general. Look, I will admit I\u2019m confused. If he can\u2019t give a speech where we can understand what he\u2019s saying, then it isn\u2019t a very good speech. <\/p>\n

Also, this just in here from the Associated Press. ‘Democrat National Committee chairman Howard Dean says the party is committed to seating Florida\u2019s delegates at this summer\u2019s convention. Dean met today with Florida lawmakers to discuss ways of allocating delegates among\u2019 Hillary and Obama. This is going to please Hillary. They\u2019re going to seat the Florida delegates without a re-vote. Operation Chaos, ladies and gentlemen, rolls on. <\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m serious about this price of gold stuff. You bring the Big Oil guys up. Those are the guys that put gasoline in your car. If it weren\u2019t for them, you wouldn\u2019t have gasoline — and yet they\u2019re the guys that get grilled. Have you seen the price of gold? Now, see, this is a good illusion. I\u2019m trying to make a point here, but I think that the point\u2019s lost, because I\u2019m not being sympathetic or empathetic. That would be a better word. It would be so easy for me to sit here and say, ‘Oh, gosh the price of gas! Man, it\u2019s so hard for all of us. I don\u2019t know what we\u2019re going to do. I really, really know how tough it is for you.\u2019 That wouldn\u2019t change your situation any at all, but you\u2019d think somebody cares. This is what the liberals pull off. The liberals make people think they care about their problems. They think they have a kindred spirit working on solving the problem. <\/p>\n

Of course they don\u2019t. Liberals don\u2019t fix anything. All they do is break things! All they do is ruin things. They don\u2019t fix diddly-squat. But people think they do because they care, and if I were to sit here and go through this little bit, ‘Hey, why didn\u2019t Congress bring in Big Gold? Have you seen the price of gold lately? Why didn\u2019t Congress demand that Big Gold lower the gold price, why didn\u2019t Congress bring in Big Jewelry? Have you seen the price of diamonds lately? It\u2019s skyrocketing; everything is! Pull out all the stops! Find out who\u2019s responsible! See who\u2019s cheating the little guy when it comes to gold and jewelry. You know how much people have suffered who want to go out and get married or get engaged to have a decent anniversary present, maybe get that solid gold toilet they\u2019ve always dreamed about?<\/p>\n

‘Now they can\u2019t do it because of the price of gold and the price of jewelry. And where are Pelosi and where\u2019s Reid and where is Ed Markey, and where is Obama, telling me again that the price of gold will come down to make it profitable and yet affordable to me?\u2019 Now, I could make that case. I don\u2019t know how many people would get what I\u2019m saying. I mean, ‘you people,\u2019 don\u2019t misunderstand. You would. I\u2019m talking about people outside this audience. You all have above average IQs, above average education. We\u2019ve done all the surveys. We know who you are, and you know who you are. When I say ‘you,\u2019 I\u2019m talking about people that vote liberals, people that vote Democrats. But, boy, I could say, ‘Well, I feel sorry for you. It\u2019s just so bad out there. I wish something could be done,\u2019 and of course there\u2019s nothing I can do or anybody else can do, but if you think that somebody cares, then I guess you\u2019re less, what? Concerned, or at least more hopeful? Yes! You are more hopeful that something might get fixed if somebody cares. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
