RUSH: To Big Stone City, South Dakota, this is Dana. Nice to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, thank you, Rush. I think there\u2019s one thing that everybody is leaving out of the situation on the economic problem, and — and if it wasn\u2019t for 9\/11, where…? Would we be in this problem today? Would we have this economic problem? And then they demonize —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes. We would.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (snorts) Well, they\u2019ve demonized the war on terror.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you think giving loans to people who can\u2019t afford to pay \u2019em back has anything to do with 9\/11? Do you think the subprime mortgage scandal, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac…? Do you think all of these financial institutions who had no money because they\u2019re leveraged 30-to-1 on debt would have done anything differently if it would not have been for 9\/11?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you\u2019re right. But I\u2019m just saying there\u2019s resources out there. They\u2019ve demonized the war on terror. We can\u2019t even take advantage of the fruit of our victories. I mean, there\u2019s oil out there. We wouldn\u2019t have had four-dollar-a-gallon oil if we were to use oil from Iraq from the war. We wouldn\u2019t be in that mess, but they\u2019ve demonized the whole war on terror. We can\u2019t…? I mean, they — they didn\u2019t demonize — they don\u2019t demonize our — our space program, and that came from carpet bombing Germany. I mean, we got technology from Germany. I don\u2019t look at the space shuttle and say, ‘Oh, man, you know why that\u2019s up there? It\u2019s because we carpet bombed Germany,\u2019 but, you know, we can\u2019t take the oil from Iraq. That\u2019s wrong, and that doesn\u2019t make sense to me and I think economically we\u2019d be in a lot better shape if we could.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, in that sense, I mean I understand what you\u2019re saying, if we hadn\u2019t had to spend so much on energy to conduct the war. But, you know, really… (sigh) To a certain extent, but you\u2019re talking about a drop in the ocean here. The military uses X-amount of jet fuel, kerosene, whatever. They get first dibs on a lot of things to be ready to do things like Iraq every year. Even if they don\u2019t use it, they still take it. It\u2019s in reserve. Where 9\/11 is not viewed in the proper perspective is it was an economic disaster and we came back from it. That\u2019s the thing that everybody misses when talk about George Bush and the never-ending criticism. We were just coming out of a minor little blip of a recession, an economic downturn and Clinton left office, then 9\/11 hit and we had a robust rebound. But this crisis that we\u2019re talking about is due to — you can trace it to — the subprime business, which gave us the housing bubble, which has now caused all kinds of loss in the value and the price of homes. It would have happened whether there was 9\/11 or not. <\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Dan in Sonoma, California. Great to have you here. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush, thanks so much. Dittos from beautiful Sonoma.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Obama in his speech mentioned that the trillion dollar deficits will be with us for many years.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: What he fails to mention is that he helped vote for the near-billion-dollar bailout, so in essence he is trying to correct a problem he helped create.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes. See, here\u2019s the way I look at that. Okay, so we\u2019re going to have a trillion-dollar deficit, and that deficit, this is deficit spending. By the way, when Republicans are deficit spending it\u2019s a ‘monster.\u2019 It\u2019s gotta be slain. It\u2019s gotta be killed. The deficit\u2019s gonna be the end of us. Now deficit spending is fine. Deficit spending is good! In fact, folks, let me show you how out of whack things have become. Just this week, just yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, the New York Times had a story on it. It\u2019s now mainstream thought. More and more government spending as economic stimulus as a normal, day-to-day procedure, is mainstream. Oh, yeah? When did this happen? It happened overnight. It happened overnight! That\u2019s what happens when you\u2019ve got Democrats in Congress, Democrats soon to be in the White House, and a Democrat-run media. In fact, just go back a year or so and listen to the Bush deficits being ripped to shreds during the campaign. Now all of a sudden (snaps fingers), it\u2019s mainstream to spend this kind of money. It\u2019s mainstream to print it. In fact, ladies and gentlemen, do you know what the big challenge now is? Can the government spend it fast enough? That\u2019s what the media is now asking. The crisis depends on the government spending it fast enough. Do you realize this happened inside of a month? Fifty years of economic thought just reversed 180 degrees inside of a month? <\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, Andrew, hello, sir. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, thank you for taking my call. I\u2019m curious because Mayor Michael Nutter just met with Barack and has a plan to use some of this $1.2 trillion dollars to spend on the Philadelphia Zoo, and just this week they announced that they were going to be closing 11 libraries saving $8 million. Why are we not keeping those libraries open and also some fire stations?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Easy. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What are we talking about here? We\u2019re talking about Philadelphia, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That is correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When was the last time you went to the library?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I actually frequent it, quite often.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Well, how many people are in there when you go.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not very many.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Ever been to the zoo lately?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Go.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Go. You\u2019ll be standing in line to get in as people are asked to name the new jaguar cub or feed the dolphins or whatever animals they have at the Philadelphia Zoo. The animals are at great risk from global warming. We may not see these animals anymore if things keep going \u2019cause they might become extinct. But the Internet? (snorts) Why, Google has this massive project to digitize every book ever published. If they get their way, you\u2019re going to be able to access every book ever written on the Internet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What about the fire stations?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fire stations?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, they\u2019re closing fire stations down as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, that\u2019s just a trick to get you to pay more taxes. That\u2019s how cities and governments do it. They close down these vital services rather than all the waste like the cappuccino machines and so forth. That\u2019s just designed to get you to agree to more spending, more taxes, so they don\u2019t have to close the fire station or the police station. It doesn\u2019t matter. Yeah, but see, I must apologize. I forgot one thing. Forgive me. It\u2019s going to take me awhile to make this rote. There aren\u2019t going to be any arson fires \u2019cause Obama\u2019s president, there\u2019s going to be so much love. The existing fire departments can handle the accidents.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Richmond, Virginia. This is Sandra. Sandra, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you for taking my call. And thank you and Snerdley for being individualists, much as myself. I need your help.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a fairly new listener, just started last year when the election really got kicking good, and I realized I need to get more involved. How can an individual like I, who\u2019s an individualist and believes in individuals and the American way, how can we stop what we just heard this morning?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, see, it\u2019s a great, great question, because you have to have realistic goals. It may not be possible. I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to stop this for a couple of years. Now, hear me out on this, Sandra, because this is a very important question. Elections have consequences. I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to stop this. I haven\u2019t seen yet any evidence from our Republican Senate and House minorities that they\u2019re really interested in stopping any of it. What I\u2019ve seen so far, and it\u2019s going too far, it\u2019s outta hand, there are too many people who are saying, ‘We need to step aside and halt our criticism. We need to hope the new president and his administration have success and so forth. We want to work together with them.\u2019 This is politics and it\u2019s the future of the country, and this is not how these guys are going to win votes in 2010. This plan that Obama has, anybody who\u2019s on our side of the aisle who has any degree of education and experience and knowledge of history knows full well the disaster that awaits us. He\u2019s going to get 95% of what he wants early on, folks, because of this attitude, the Republicans, ‘Oh, we hope he succeeds. Oh, we can\u2019t be seen as critics, oh, no, no, that will not help us with the minority vote in 2010, 2012.\u2019 <\/p>\n

All that\u2019s bunk. We stand up for what\u2019s right and what we believe in or we cave. Right now our side is in cave mode and they\u2019re out of fear. That means, Sandra, it\u2019s up to us, as it always is. So what can you do? Well, I\u2019m going to tell you three things that you can do, and number one, and this is true for every one of us out there. You have got to stand firm in what you believe in, live your life that way, vote when you have the chance to vote that way, and you have to not be afraid to talk to people that disagree with you about it. The people that care about this are the ones that have the chance to make changes. The people out there watching MTV and doing other things, forget them, because they\u2019re not engaged. They show up every election. Now, don\u2019t forget \u2019em, but that\u2019s another thing we gotta do, we\u2019ve got to somehow assert ourselves into the popular culture. Popular culture right now is just accepted as liberal, there\u2019s not any contention, there\u2019s no disagreement. And the people that only know America via popular culture are seeing nothing but anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-Bush, pro-liberal, pro-cultural rot. They see it all over the place all the time, they think it\u2019s normal. Anybody who disagrees with it is the enemy. It\u2019s unrealistic to expect those people every election to all of a sudden go ahead and vote for a conservative. So that\u2019s a project. <\/p>\n

<\/a>A guy named Andrew Breitbart <\/a>and his website in California is spearheading that with some help from others, but what can you do, Sandra? Don\u2019t live in a cocoon. You have no idea how many people you will influence just by virtue of the way you live your life, just by virtue of the way you communicate with people. If you believe in it, try to change people\u2019s minds. It may lead to some arguments. You may think it\u2019s pointless; you may think it\u2019s fruitless. Another thing to do is keep listening to this program, and I say this in all sincerity. This program will keep you inspired, motivated, and happy. This program will keep you armed. This program, my newsletter, website, and this program will keep you up to speed, and it will give you the inspiration to continue to go out and do this. It\u2019s the country we\u2019re talking about, right? It\u2019s talking about the things we believe in, the future, for those of you that have kids and grandkids. I\u2019ve got nieces and nephews, you care about the future, this is what it\u2019s all about. And we\u2019re heading to a disaster here, and depending on how deep this disaster penetrates our country, it could take a generation to turn this stuff around. If they get national health care, folks, that\u2019s a biggie. They\u2019re going to get Supreme Court nominations, I told you before the election, this stuff matters, elections have consequences. Okay, yeah, we\u2019re in a hole. But I\u2019m not going to be on the bus when it goes over the cliff. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, I mentioned yesterday, here\u2019s something else you can do, something I did. You know, a lot of people have asked me, ‘Where did you learn?\u2019 People ask me all the time, ‘What did you do? How did you learn what you learn?\u2019 Well, family, obviously. But, man, there\u2019s so much brilliant conservative thought out there, and a lot of people have heard about it, a lot of people haven\u2019t, a lot of people don\u2019t have access to it. We\u2019ve got a new partner here at EIB, the Heritage Foundation. These are think tank specialists, they\u2019re scholars, scientists, economists, demographers, and they are brilliant, and they work, some of them, in the basements of anonymity, churning stuff out that, if you can have access to, a world of knowledge is open to you that you didn\u2019t know existed. You\u2019re not going to find this stuff in the mainstream media; you\u2019re not going to find it in the library; you\u2019re not going to find it in the places you would normally seek to go. They\u2019ve got a website www.AskHeritage.org<\/a>. You can become a member of this. There are 400,000 people who are, all across the country. Go to this website. We link to it also at RushLimbaugh.com. AskHeritage.org. <\/p>\n

Ask them anything, and they\u2019ll find the answer to your question in all of the digitized research on their servers. I mean it\u2019s just waiting. This stuff is not taught in schools. This is crucial. If you\u2019re a homeschooler, AskHeritage.org. I\u2019ve talked about the Heritage Foundation over the years, because they have been invaluable to me. I\u2019m an instinctive conservative. I always knew what conservatism was. I always knew what liberalism was. I never have had any doubts. What people like the Heritage Foundation enabled me to do was to explain and understand why my instincts were what they were, and my family as well, of course. But you can\u2019t just have one source: www.AskHeritage.org. This is a gold mine, my friends, and wait \u2019til you join and play around with this. I mean from any topic you want on conservatism, be it the economy, foreign policy, war on terror, military matters, they\u2019ve got perhaps one of the greatest libraries on Ronald Reagan, what would Reagan do in a circumstance, if that intrigues you, AskHeritage.org. <\/p>\n

So Sandra, there\u2019s all kinds of things you can do, but all the rest of you just interact with people and don\u2019t be afraid to be who you are. And be prepared to have people offended by how confident you are in what you believe. That\u2019s something that offends people more than anything else. Most people don\u2019t have the confidence to think they\u2019re sure of things. When you come along and you\u2019re sure of things that\u2019s going to intimidate people. ‘Nobody could be that sure.\u2019 ‘Cause everybody\u2019s been conditioned to think that there are two sides to everything. There aren\u2019t. There\u2019s right and there\u2019s wrong. And wrong is invalid. We don\u2019t have to give wrong the time of day just to be fair, just like we don\u2019t have to give evil the time of day just to be fair. Just like we don\u2019t have to give defeat a chance on the battlefield just to be fair. But so many people are so wishy-washy, ‘Well, you know, I can understand why we should, but on the other hand I don\u2019t think we should offend, but on the other hand…\u2019 you get frustrated dealing with these people. But it can be worth it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
