RUSH: To the phones, to Redlands, California. We\u2019re going to start, Matt, with you. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush it\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I agree with Joe Biden\u2019s recent statement that if we elect Barack Obama, that will guarantee that America\u2019s enemies will test Obama\u2019s youth and inexperience with crisises; and the election of Obama would probably guarantee a war between Israel and Iran within the next two months, because many Israeli politicians and military leaders have publicly stated that if Obama is elected, Israel is going to have to bomb Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons facilities before Bush leaves office on January 20th. Because Israel knows that it cannot depend on a weak leader like Obama to support it if it goes to Iran. So the election of Obama will probably guarantee a war between Israel and Iran within the next two months. Then Obama would have to come into power, we could have three wars going on. We could have war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and we could end up in war with Iran. And Obama, with three wars going on, that would be just great. What do you think, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019d have to defer to Senator Biden. I don\u2019t think he could disagree with anything you said here. He said it\u2019s all on the table. It\u2019s all a possibility, and it\u2019s going to be so bad that their numbers are going to plunge and Biden wants all the people that love Obama and himself now to remember this day and support them regardless. So I think it\u2019s a fairly good analysis. Had you called and said this today without Senator Biden —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — providing the insight on the possibility, I would have thought you were a Looney Toon, you know? I would have thought you were a full-fledged kook trying to toy around with the host of this program. But I have to say, your analysis given Senator Biden\u2019s insight on this — and as he said, he has forgotten more foreign policy than most of his colleagues know — I\u2019d have to say that you\u2019re right on the money here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, Rush, this isn\u2019t just some far right theory that the world can be such a dangerous place. Now we have Obama\u2019s own VP promising us that the world is going to get more dangerous, promising that Obama will cause international crisis. We know John McCain. He\u2019s admitting that John McCain will keep things safe and stable.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: You can\u2019t believe Biden admitted the truth that we conservatives have been saying. Thanks, Joe. We appreciate you admitting the truth that we\u2019ve been trying to get out there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love the guy. They\u2019ve had Michelle Obama up in the Waldorf, obviously, eating hors d\u2019oeuvres all this time: Iranian caviar and Bollinger champagne from the UK and all these lobsters. I thought they had duct tape on her mouth, but obviously not. She\u2019s able to ingest and swallow food that she orders from room service. I\u2019m glad they let Biden out of the padded cell, too, because I missed him. We\u2019ve missed Biden out there and he\u2019s now back in full-fledged glory and doing a genuine service to the country by informing us what\u2019s ahead if Obama is elected. And, by the way, folks, no, I do not believe it\u2019s a setup. I don\u2019t believe Biden is saying this so that when six months goes by and there is no international incident, they can say, ‘Wow, the world really loves us now.\u2019 I think it\u2019s just the exact opposite. I don\u2019t think this is a rope-a-dope type move. This is a head-\u2019em-off-at-the-pass move. This is, ‘Okay, we know we\u2019re going to catch hell here,\u2019 and what Biden is saying is, ‘We know the world\u2019s going to test this little punk because he has no experience, and he\u2019s only 47 years old,\u2019 and we also know that he was hoping for defeat in Iraq. (laughing) So the rest of the world is going to say, ‘Hey, you want your country to lose? Here\u2019s another chance. Try this,\u2019 and see what he does. It\u2019s probably a good possibility. <\/p>\n

Marisol in Little Havana down in Miami, nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush, it\u2019s an honor to speak to you. Mega dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thanks very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was wondering if Senator Government will live by his obvious ideology and distribute his campaign funds to all the other politicians running that haven\u2019t received as much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this is an excellent point. I had a note to myself on this about all the money that Obama raised. He raised $150 million in September. Now, what bad economy? Where is all this money coming from? Do you know that\u2019s at the rate of — run the numbers on that, 12 times 150 million could be… Well, that\u2019s going to be over a billion. At that rate it would be over a billion dollars a year, I think, or close to it. Of course he\u2019s not going to share the wealth. In fact, folks, if you recall, Dingy Harry called Obama and said, ‘Hey, could you give us some of your unspent cash to help us with the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee,\u2019 and Obama said, ‘No, Dingy Harry. No.\u2019 Obama doesn\u2019t share anything. You\u2019re gonna share! Folks, liberals don\u2019t use their own money for things. Thanks, Marisol, very much. Tim in San Diego. Hello, sir. EIB Network, you\u2019re next. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tim in San Diego. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Going once. Going twice. Tim in San Diego.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, this is Tim.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Tim, nice to have you. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks very much, Rush. Okay. I\u2019m going to go quickly because I do have two things I want to talk to you about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You mentioned recently that we should all remember that this time four years ago Bush was down by 11 points in the polls. <\/p>\n

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

CALLER: You know, I\u2019d love to hear an audio montage of the various pundits and Democrats from the last election cycle saying that Bush didn\u2019t have a chance to beat Kerry; or, you know, Gore for that matter. To me, I think it would be very encouraging for conservatives to hear liberals in their own voices wrongly predicting the election outcomes. Because they love to bury their false prophecies, but I think if you were to dig them up and play them every day until the election, it would be just very encouraging to the listeners.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not a bad idea, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Now, the other thing is that — well, for instance, even their own people, they were saying, you know, Gore will defeat Bush. Kerry will defeat Bush. Hillary is gonna defeat Obama in the primaries, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, hang on just a second. I gotta break. Hang on. We\u2019ll finish this when we get back. Don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to Tim in San Diego. I got one idea from you out of the way. What\u2019s the second?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Well — and just real quickly with the previous idea there. You know, whether it was when we took back the House and the Senate or the Clinton years or Bush winning twice — or, you know, even that Hillary was guaranteed to win the primaries — they\u2019re always wrong. So I don\u2019t know if you have access to these clips. <\/p>\n

RUSH: (stifling laughter)<\/p>\n

CALLER: But if you do, I just think it would be really helpful because if Bush was down by 11 points and our guy is down by less than five points then we definitely have a chance to win this victory. Okay, point number two.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes? (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I called you about a year ago to lobby you to have Bo Snerdley added to your roster of guest hosts. Now, at the time, you thought I was a stupid idiot, and you said, ‘Well, who knows what might come out of his mouth if he was unleashed on the public airwaves?\u2019 Yet if we fast forward about eight or nine months, who is the Official Obama Criticizer on the EIB Network? Well, none other than Mr. Bo Snerdley himself. So, it took you a little while to come around and see the wisdom of my thinking, but you eventually did; and not a lot of people can claim to change the mind of Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019ll tell you what. I\u2019ll tell you what. The next time I\u2019m gone, since you are the one with all the great ideas, we\u2019re going to call you to be guest host. You can put together all those montages and you can do the show yourself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
