RUSH: Anyway, remember when Sarah Palin was introduced by Senator McCain, the left-wing media and a number of people, lawyers were dispatched to Alaska to go through her garbage and anything else to find anything incriminating? Planeloads of liberal lawyers. So poor old Rick Santelli of CNBC, I\u2019m just wondering how long it will be before planeloads of liberal lawyers sweep into his neighborhood, go through his trash, check out his kids\u2019 dating habits, because the White House obviously could not have been happy with what he did yesterday. But the reports from Chuck Todd at NBC indicate that the White House was laughing about it.<\/p>\n

TODD: The stuff that I\u2019ve heard from the White House and people that have talked to me about this, you know, they — I think they\u2019re kind of laughing that they\u2019re getting lectured by a trader, in their minds on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. And it\u2019s like, you know, this is — you know, they\u2019re sitting there going, it\u2019s like — to take the real criticism where this was coming from, the idea that, hey, are — are you helping out people that, you know, should be punished, the fact is, they say, look, we are helping out people that should be punished, and we wish we could punish, but that isn\u2019t our role. Our role is to try to create stability in the economy and in the housing market.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What the hell did he say? Could somebody tell me what he said? Aside from the fact that the White House is laughing at that a little, insignificant trader — but what was the rest of this? Chuck Todd\u2019s a professional newsman. He\u2019s the White House correspondent for NBC. ‘So they\u2019re sitting in the White House kind of, you know –‘ I mean this sounded like Caroline Kennedy, ‘You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, and, you know, they kind of punish people.\u2019 The word ‘punish,\u2019 he tells us the White House, the administration, is using the word ‘punish\u2019! Here, play that again \u2019cause we have a dirty, lowly trader, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange lecturing the Messiah, and they laugh, a lowly little trader who is criticizing. But I want to figure out the rest of this.<\/p>\n

TODD: The stuff that I\u2019ve heard from the White House and people that have talked to me about this, you know, they — I think they\u2019re kind of laughing that they\u2019re getting lectured by a trader, in their minds on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. And it\u2019s like, you know, this is — you know, they\u2019re sitting there going, it\u2019s like — to take the real criticism where this was coming from, the idea that, hey, are — are you helping out people that, you know, should be punished, the fact is, they say, look, we are helping out people that should be punished, and we wish we could punish, but that isn\u2019t our role. Our role is to try to create stability in the economy and in the housing market.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. They say, look, we are helping out people that should be punished? Who are they? Who are the people that should be punished? Well, I know, me, but it\u2019s not just me. It\u2019s the achievers, is it not? The producers. We should be helping out the people that should be punished and we wish we could punish, but that isn\u2019t our role. Our role is to try to create stability in the economy and in the housing market. Ohhh, I feel so sad for them, I feel so bad, so, so bad out there, because they want to punish people, but they don\u2019t have time. They don\u2019t have time to punish people because they have to come up with stability. Stability? They say this is stability. The only way you could call this stability is if the idea is to wreck the top of the economy so that everybody is miserable. We\u2019re helping out people that should be punished; we\u2019re laughing at a little trader lecturing us; we\u2019re laughing at the market. <\/p>\n

By the way, it wasn\u2019t just the trader, Rick Santelli, it was all the traders that were hooting and hollering in agreement with him that the White House is now laughing at and telling Chuck Todd, yeah, there are some people we wish we could punish. Chuck, you\u2019re not doing \u2019em any favors. Brian Williams and Matt Lauer assaulted Rick Santelli for daring to criticize Obama\u2019s plan on the Today Show today. Fill-in host Brian Williams said, ‘What would you do about all the folks who have just been through this era where they were told there were bucket loads of money, they were told it was almost their patriotic duty to own a home, whether or not they could afford it.\u2019 For crying out loud, get the premise of this question. Let me take a break here. I have to take a break. The question of Brian Williams is, these poor people who never had a chance at repaying the loan, they are the victims. They were told there were bucket loads of money, they were told it was almost their patriotic duty to own the house, whether they could afford it or not. Who? <\/p>\n

Somebody produce for me one person who went and bought a house \u2019cause they thought it was their patriotic duty because somebody in Washington told them it was their patriotic duty. I\u2019m going to take a break here, you know? I\u2019m going to take a break and say, hey, you know, hey, you know, you know, we\u2019re going to punish, we wish we could punish, we need to punish people, but we gotta, you know, have stability, and, why, we\u2019re going to defend these people who just did the patriotic thing and bought a house when they couldn\u2019t afford it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m still trying to figure this out. I think I\u2019m on the road to having it figured out. Now, we\u2019re telling people that it is their ‘patriotic duty\u2019 to rent a home or an apartment now and give up the house they could not afford and cannot afford now. So the point is now they know they cannot afford it. Under Brian Williams\u2019 kind of logic, they have a duty to move. Have they capped Brian Williams\u2019 salary at $500,000 yet? You have a relation with him over there, Kit. Call him up and ask him, because if they haven\u2019t, they should. We got toxic waste in the market, but I gotta tell you we got toxic information in the media, and I don\u2019t see a plan to get rid of it. Now, here\u2019s what the reporter is saying, like Chuck Todd, he\u2019s saying that the White House is laughing at being lectured to by, of all people, a trader. Perhaps not because the trader is a peon but because the White House thinks that Wall Street and traders are to blame for this mess. As to the core of Santelli\u2019s complaint, ‘Yeah, the White House plan is rewarding people who should be punished, but the White House\u2019s job is financial stability.\u2019 So basically the White House is telling Santelli to bend over. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now we go back to this poor old Rick Santelli, who knows to bend over — forwards or backwards, either way will do. Brian Williams grilling a colleague. Rick Santelli at CNBC, it\u2019s all NBC. Williams says, ‘What would you do about all these people who have been through this era, where they were told that they were bucket loads of money, they were told it was almost their patriotic duty to own a home, whether they could afford it or not, who do we see about them? What would you have them do?\u2019<\/p>\n

SANTELLI: If 92% are paying their mortgage and the other 8% aren\u2019t, we really can\u2019t separate out, Brian, the 8%. How many were gaming the system, trying to flip houses, way beyond their means, didn\u2019t put accurate information on their loan information, versus some of the hard cases that we really ought to do something about? So, you know, you think these 92% that are planning on cutting back, having problems, the 401(k)s or 201(k)s, but they\u2019re knuckling under. I think that the administration he needs to broadly help everybody so they don\u2019t disenfranchise the confidence of the 92%.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m still stuck by this question. This is the first I\u2019ve heard that these people from the Community Redevelopment Act… Is that what it is? It\u2019s the Community Redevelopment Something. Reinvestment Act. Well, whatever it was, that caused the lenders to be forced by the government to make loans to people that could never, ever pay \u2019em back. I want somebody to produce for me one of these borrowers who went into a bank on the basis, ‘Hey? Hey! They told me to come get a house. It\u2019s my patriotic duty to come get a house. They told me to come see you, that there\u2019s bucket loads of money in here.\u2019 Where the hell does the premise for that question come from? Anyway, then poor old Rick Santelli had this exchange with Matt Lauer.<\/p>\n

LAUER: President Obama came to office saying the time for sacrifice is now. No more rhetoric about it. We\u2019re going to actually have to do it. Isn\u2019t this a first example where those of us who can afford to pay our mortgages and our taxes are being asked to sacrifice?<\/p>\n

SANTELLI: Well, Matt, did they actually ever ‘ask\u2019 you to sacrifice?<\/p>\n

LAUER: They\u2019re asking us right now!<\/p>\n

SANTELLI: Well, they\u2019re legislating your choice away, though. You know, Matt, there\u2019s a lot of charitable people in this country that want to help. The part of this story that has struck a negative chord — and this is about traders or elite. I am bombarded everywhere I go. What this boils down to is you have to treat everybody fairly. Those 92% are knuckling under as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rick! Rick, please listen to me. This is how they define fairness. The 92%, it\u2019s unfair that 92% can pay and 8% can\u2019t or whatever the numbers are. The 92% are damn well going to find out what it\u2019s like to not be able to pay by having to pay for some others. That\u2019s what this is about. It\u2019s about making you mad. Now, he\u2019s got a great point here. Matt Lauer: ‘Well, shouldn\u2019t we all sacrifice?\u2019 Hey, Matt, did you vote on that? Did you Obama tell us any of this during the campaign? Did he say, ‘Those of you who can pay your mortgage are going to help also pay those who refused to pay?\u2019 Were we told this during the campaign? That\u2019s Santelli\u2019s point. (interruption) I know. Lauer and Williams sound like Obama enforcers. So here\u2019s this guy that\u2019s going off the reservation on CNBC, and here come the enforcers, the consiglieres. They gotta get this mind right. So Brian Williams asks, ‘What do you do about the foreclosed home next to yours, Rick? That was the crux of this. It was the mortgage crisis that started this off and got us into this.\u2019<\/p>\n

SANTELLI: Listen, when houses were at their high prices, did you look at your house as an investment and think, ‘Oh my God. I don\u2019t think my house is worth that but maybe I ought to sell\u2019? There\u2019s a lot of Americans that feel bad and if the house on the left or a house on the right goes into foreclosure, the experts are saying you suffer, too. But if you let judges break contract law —<\/p>\n

LIESMAN: The trouble, Rick —<\/p>\n

SANTELLI: — this innovative country everybody knows is going to snap back —<\/p>\n

LIESMAN: The market —<\/p>\n

SANTELLI: We are going to send a bad message to world investors.<\/p>\n

LIESMAN: The market can\u2019t fix this!<\/p>\n

RUSH: The other voice there was Steve Liesman (or Lice-man, I don\u2019t know how to pronounce it) of CNBC, who told Rick, ‘The market can\u2019t fix this.\u2019 The market can\u2019t fix this? The market is the only thing that can fix it. (interruption) ‘Fix it\u2019 as in make it go away, yes? (interruption) What do you mean it\u2019s ridiculous? What do you mean you can\u2019t just make what go away? What are we talking about? (interruption) What? What? What? We can\u2019t make what go away? (interruption) Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. (interruption) I\u2019m not doing… (interruption) I\u2019m not pretending. Let\u2019s just… Let\u2019s just… (laughing) I\u2019m having a big argument with a member of my staff who agrees with Steve Liesman. You think the market\u2019s the only element that can fix this! The market cannot fix this, that only the government can fix this? (interruption) I\u2019m getting no answer. (interruption) Only the…? (interruption) Uh-huh. The market is. The market is not what it is. The market\u2019s not being allowed to be what it is. The market has been corrupted. The market\u2019s been corrupted since the first stimulus a year ago. We\u2019re not looking at the market. We have ‘stimulus.\u2019 It isn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: My staff, my loyal staff member, trusted aide-de-camp, H.R. shouting in my ear, and I know what the shouting was about. Here you have this guy Rick Santelli, and Rick Santelli is boiling over like other average Americans at being told he\u2019s done something wrong by succeeding and these guys on the Chicago Mercantile Board, they\u2019re being told they\u2019ve done something wrong and they\u2019re going to have sacrifice, and they\u2019re going to have to pay for people who now we are told bought their houses they couldn\u2019t afford because they were told it was the patriotic thing to do. That is absolute chump BS. That\u2019s the first I\u2019ve heard it. We\u2019ve got members of the media acting as enforcers for the Obama administration, harassing Rick Santelli, a colleague of theirs who dared speak out against The Messiah so he\u2019s gotta be forced to bend over. We\u2019ve already stimulated the economy, starting a year ago, $180 billion or $200 billion, the checks that you got for $600 or whatever. We\u2019re up to $1.7 trillion in stimulus. My friends, if this was the way to stimulate and grow an economy, we\u2019d see signs. We see the opposite. We see economic decline. <\/p>\n

So the question, what\u2019s going to fix this? It\u2019s the wrong question. Because the question assumes that there is a mechanism, something somebody can do to take us back to 13,000 at the Dow, to take all of your home value you\u2019ve lost and restore it, that your 401(k) is going to be replenished. Folks, there is nothing. There is no single thing any magician can do to make that happen, because what has happened has taken place as a result of tampering with the market. Now, the market also makes mistakes in addition to people tampering with it. If left alone, it\u2019s almost impossible for economies to go into recession. So what screwed up the market? Let\u2019s not forget this. What screwed up the market was not a bunch of people being told there\u2019s bucket loads of money inside that bank, it\u2019s a patriotic duty for you to own a house you can\u2019t afford, go in there and get it. What happened was that a bunch of liberal Democrats decided the impoverished in this country have been taking it on the chin for too long it\u2019s not fair that they don\u2019t have homes. And since those people know that the poor and impoverished can\u2019t afford homes, we\u2019re going to find a way to make \u2019em be able to be in homes, and the people paying for it are not going to know they\u2019re paying for it. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s hello Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it\u2019s hello subprime mortgage market, called the Community Reinvestment Act or what have you, started by Carter and then Clinton comes along, and Janet Reno and the AG and Jamie Gorelick and all these people at Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, they were telling people, these lenders, if you don\u2019t lend this money, we\u2019re going to investigate you. The government is the essential market tamperer here. Everybody is blaming the speculators and so forth, there may be a lot of people to blame here, but the focal point of blame should be aimed at Barney Frank, at Christopher Dodd, at any Democrat member of Congress who resisted efforts to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The SEC, which was not regulating what the banks were doing to try to give value to these worthless mortgages that we\u2019re now being told are patriotic. The insults to our intelligence just add up every day. Every day we\u2019re here we have our intelligence insulted by the toxicity in the Drive-By Media. <\/p>\n

We have a toxic disease in this country, and it\u2019s the media. We\u2019ve got toxic assets as a result of the government tampering in the mortgage business. We\u2019ve got debt out the wazoo. We have people who lived lives of substance when there was no ‘there\u2019 there and they wanted to keep up with the Joneses. Nobody\u2019s innocent here, except those of you who have no clue any of this was going on, you\u2019re playing by the rules, you\u2019re going to your lender, you\u2019re getting your mortgage, you don\u2019t know it\u2019s being packaged and sold at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, you don\u2019t know that it\u2019s being used to subsidize people that can\u2019t pay, and now all of a sudden, you\u2019re being told for things you had nothing to do with that you are the ones getting punished, that you have to pay for these people who couldn\u2019t pay in the first place, \u2019cause it\u2019s just too tragic. And now they\u2019re saying, what happens if that home next to you is in foreclosure? What happens to the value of your house? The answer is what the hell have you done to the value of my house already without these foreclosures? And, by the way, a foreclosed house — this is the market speaking — is a hell of a buy opportunity. <\/p>\n

Do you know the California first-time buyer market is up 85% on sales of the purchase of foreclosed houses \u2019cause you can get in them much cheaper than you ever could, starter houses, first time buyers. Just get out of the way, the market will work. We are the market. The government tampers with the market. The government sucks things out of the market in the form of taxation, deficit spending, and now the government\u2019s in the business of laughing at the free market. The government is an albatross on the market. If left alone, we adapt, we respond to all kinds of market conditions, including artificially low interest rates created by the Fed which helped create the boom Brian Williams and Lauer don\u2019t talk about. Poor people respond to government policies pushed by leftists that make loans available to them to buy homes they can\u2019t afford. The market didn\u2019t create these conditions. The market is responding to them. The market\u2019s responding by short selling the stimulus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 53 right now. It\u2019s been down as much as 200 today. <\/p>\n

The investors, the people who are the real poll on the state of the economy are not investing. They are betting on the market continuing to go south. They\u2019re taking their money out of it in general. Some stocks are doing better than others. But the overall DJI is down, and it\u2019s been down over 2,000 points since Obama was immaculated. Well, since he was elected. From November 4th through February 12th the market has plunged more than it plunged in September and October under Bush. You don\u2019t know that because it\u2019s not being told to you because of the toxicity in our system that is the Drive-By Media and it\u2019s poor excuse for journalists and reporters. So we\u2019re trying to adapt to it, everybody\u2019s trying to react to the market. You heard Dave LaRoe call from his little restaurant in Grand Rapids, Ohio. He\u2019s watching Oprah and Suze Orman tell people not to go out to eat. He adapts, he calls here. He does something. He\u2019s gotta counter all of this negative attention being focused on the private sector. But there\u2019s not a fix. <\/p>\n

Folks, Obama doesn\u2019t have it, God doesn\u2019t have it. Biden doesn\u2019t have it. Reid doesn\u2019t have it, Pelosi doesn\u2019t have it, Barney Frank doesn\u2019t have it. There is nothing that is going to come along tomorrow and restore the value of your house, replenish your 401(k) and your kids\u2019 college fund, take the Dow back to 13 on the way to 15; it isn\u2019t there. It could be again, but not with the leadership we have now. The leadership we have now is continuing to stand idly by while the market continues to plunge, unemployment continues to rise, they\u2019re spending money hand in fist claiming it\u2019s going to stimulate the economy, $1.7 trillion, that should be some stimulus. There ought to be some new jobs out there. There ought to be some positive attitude. There ought to be somebody that\u2019s feeling good, willing to invest in this economy. So far, we don\u2019t see it. We see Obama promising it, but we don\u2019t see it. If all this stimulus that we\u2019ve already done is so magical that it\u2019s going to start the immediate uptick of the economy, somebody tell me when. <\/p>\n

Keynesian stimulus packages have been shown to fail each and every time they\u2019ve tried and yet here we are again, and it\u2019s not because the people think it\u2019s gonna work. Not as you would define. Working for you is the value of your house comes back, your risk of losing your job declines, your 401(k) is replenished, that\u2019s success to you. That\u2019s a plan working for you. To the Obama administration, the plan working is exactly what we\u2019re getting. The market spiraling out of control, no end in site, unemployment going up, and Obama telling us it\u2019s gonna get worse before it gets better. That\u2019s chaos. The more chaos, the more you will accept whatever your government tells you is the next fix, and then when anybody steps outta line, like poor old Rick Santelli, the agents of toxicity representing the Obama administration in the media will make sure that he is discredited and laughed at and made a fool of as quickly as possible. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening. There is no fix. There never has been a fix. There is only corruption and what breaks. The market will come back if it\u2019s left alone, but the current crop doesn\u2019t trust the market, don\u2019t like the market, too much freedom for them in the market. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Chip Reid, CBS News, had this exchange with Robert Gibbs of the White House press briefing moments ago.<\/p>\n

REID: Aside from Rush Limbaugh and that cable rant on the floor of the exchange —<\/p>\n

GIBBS: (cackling)<\/p>\n

REID: — there really does appear to be some anger out there from people who just don\u2019t believe the president when he said that only people who acted responsibly are going to be helped here. How can you assure people that you\u2019re going to reward only homeowners who acted responsibly?<\/p>\n

GIBBS: Well, I — I\u2019ve watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I\u2019m — I\u2019m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives. But the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgage, to stay in their job, pay their bills, to send their kids to school; and to hope that they don\u2019t get sick or that somebody they care for gets sick and sends them into bankruptcy. I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader, that it was good for Main Street. I think the verdict is in on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you understand what he just said? In the first place, Chip Reid? Come on, grow some. Grow a set here. What do you mean, ‘Aside from Rush Limbaugh and the rant on the floor there\u2019s some real anger…\u2019? I am real America, Mr. Reid. Rick Santelli is real America, Mr. Reid. But did you catch what Gibbs said? Now we know what Brian Williams meant and now we know what Chuck Todd meant by punishing. ‘I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader, that it was good for Main Street. I think the verdict is in on that.\u2019 So you people in the Chicago Merc board, you\u2019re the enemy. We\u2019ve now this confirmed. There is never… Never do I recall a White House press secretary targeting individuals or a group. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s the president of all the people! This administration is making no bones about who it hates. Derivatives traders? How do you know they even trade derivatives at the merc? How do you know that? ‘We don\u2019t care what Santelli said. He represents people we\u2019re getting even with,\u2019 and they are going to bail out people who aren\u2019t paying their mortgage, and I don\u2019t have time for the last one, but it was a follow-up question, and Gibbs comes at Santelli again. It was a Chuck Todd question, criticism on the housing plan similar to the criticism that came in the bank bailout. How do you justify here that this is fairness? And he comes at Santelli again with the comment on the whole notion of derivatives traders, and we don\u2019t know where Santelli lives — yet. We don\u2019t know where he lives. I think he means who are his neighbors and might they be suffering or might they be okay. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
