RUSH: I want to play for you a little bit of the interview on CNBC that happened today. This is not the whole thing, and you will not hear on these two bites, any of the contentiousness from Mark Haines. It\u2019s a shame, but go to the website<\/a> and you can hear the whole thing. It\u2019s about five minutes, around five or six minutes. Here is Haines\u2019 question to me. He says, ‘I hear hypocrisy. You\u2019re saying in this — in this piece, you say, uh, you know, ‘our economy doesn\u2019t know the difference…this is about jobs now…leave politics aside,\u2019 and yet the first thing out of your mouth is politics! About liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat!\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Exactly. But I am trying to show this. You know, this vote that happened in the House yesterday is actually a failure. The bipartisan vote was the defeat: 11 Democrats joining Republicans. The partisan vote was all Democrats. This is going to have trouble. You know, he wants Republicans on the bill, Mark, because he knows this isn\u2019t gonna work. He wants Republicans so that he has cover so that they can\u2019t run for reelection saying they opposed this debacle. I\u2019m trying to propose something here that will work with the best interests of the country at heart.<\/p>\n

HAINES: (clearing throat)<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: How can that possibly be hypocritical?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Erin Burnett, the acclaimed Street Sweetie then said, ‘Rush, I want to give people a chance to understand your plan.\u2019 Now, my plan is perfectly understandable by anybody who reads it or has listened to me present it. But we must take into account here, she\u2019s dealing with an audience to an NBC network; and as such, she wanted me to go into even more detail to explain this. She says, ‘You\u2019re calling it the Obama-Limbaugh plan, and you took the vote that the country voted for Obama, who voted for him and who didn\u2019t, and that\u2019s how you broke it down, right?\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Exactly, and he gets to choose how he wants to spend it with the Democrats on Capitol Hill, and the Republicans and me get to determine the tax cuts.<\/p>\n

BURNETT: And you\u2019re going to cut the corporate tax rate in half, right?<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Precisely, and we\u2019ll suspend the capital gains tax to incentivize new investment for a full year and then reestablish and re-implement it at 10% — and probably some tax cuts in the area of real estate, too. That\u2019s an area that needs to come back. See, I don\u2019t… Obama said yesterday — I don\u2019t know if you guys were still on the air or not, but he had a meeting at the White House with the CEOs, and he came out and he sounded like Ronald Reagan. He was talking about how it\u2019s the people who make the country work; it\u2019s the people out there who are going to revive the economy. And twenty days ago, he said government is the only entity — there\u2019s your hypocrisy, Mark — that can revive this economy. Yesterday what he said is exactly right, and I totally support that when he sounds like Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we\u2019ll take a brief time-out here and continue.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the real contentious part of the CNBC interview, Squawk of the Street. It was with Erin Burnett and Mark Haines, just before 11 o\u2019clock this morning.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Why skeptical? I\u2019m just trying to build bridges and roads to the administration for genuine bipartisanship and cooperation and fairness. The president says that he still wants to work with Republicans. <\/p>\n

HAINES: (snorting)<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Here I am. We can work together and do what\u2019s best for the American people. <\/p>\n

BURNETT: And you call —<\/p>\n

HAINES: (interrupting) I — I — I\u2019m sorry, but, ah, wait a minute! A week after the inauguration you said you hope he fails. Are — are you now admitting that that was a stupid and mean-spirited thing to say? <\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: No, it was an accurate thing to say. It was an honest thing to say, and it came — <\/p>\n

HAINES: Then how is that bipartisan!<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Well, if you\u2019ll let me explain…<\/p>\n

HAINES: (snorts) Well, so far you haven\u2019t. <\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: (laughing) You\u2019re being contentious with no reason. It came after a thorough explanation of my belief that liberalism, which is what Obama represents —<\/p>\n

HAINES: Aw jeeeeez!<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: — destroys the free market, destroys capitalism. I think this stimulus plan with about re-FDRing America, the New New Deal, and as a conservative I want liberalism to fail. I want the country to succeed, and that\u2019s what I meant, and that\u2019s what I said over and over again. You\u2019ve gotta stop reading these left-wing liberal sites that take me out of context.<\/p>\n
