RUSH: Andrew, he\u2019s 20 years old from Austin, Texas. Andrew, great to have you here. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, it is a distinct pleasure. I\u2019ll tell you what, let\u2019s get some experts together, we\u2019ll go on that teaching tour, I\u2019ll be your emcee. I have a couple questions for you. First off, I want to know, we\u2019ve been talking about President Obama, how he is trying to nationalize a lot of the private sector, and I want to know your opinion on what you think his endgame is, what is his eventual goal? I mean, do you think he wants to be like Mark Steyn said, the dictator for life of the weak —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, dictator for life for a week?<\/p>\n

CALLER: This weak\u2019s dictator for life, I think is what Mark said.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s tough to know what the endgame is. All I know is I don\u2019t want to be alive if he accomplishes it. I don\u2019t want to be around when it happens. I don\u2019t think Obama himself can pull off his endgame. It\u2019s gonna take longer than he\u2019s got, unless of course we change the term limits on presidents and allow three terms or what have you. But in practical terms, I keep repeating this because I guess it\u2019s necessary, it works, the way to understand Barack Obama is, and you\u2019re 20, so it may not have as much resonance with you as somebody who is a little older and has been working for a long time, but he wants to return the nation\u2019s wealth to its rightful owners. He\u2019s a redistributionist. He wants to punish achievement. He wants to disincentivize achievement. He doesn\u2019t even want you trying to achieve the best, because he doesn\u2019t want there to be great disparities in the outcomes people experience in life. He\u2019s really looking for the government, one that he controls to be the primary mover in as many lives as possible.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Of course.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He looks at this country as something unjust and immoral, and he\u2019s gotta fix it. It\u2019s been unjust and immoral for all of these years until he was elected. But it has taken advantage of little people and minorities and so forth, and he\u2019s gonna return the nation to those people who he thinks built it, who he thinks made it great, but have had everything they\u2019ve ever worked for stolen from or they were never paid for it in the first place, so he\u2019s robbed Peter to pay Paul.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, I\u2019m not very old, but I have a lot of dreams and plans for my life, and I know if Obama gets his way then I won\u2019t be able to do a lot of that, so I\u2019m pretty pissed off —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, he\u2019s defining prosperity down. Look, with the tax rate that you are facing now, just to pay for what he\u2019s printed or borrowed for all of his stimulus spending and budget spending, plus the problems of Medicare and Medicaid, you and people who are younger than you are going to be working first and foremost for the government for most of the year in order to allow them to fund what they\u2019re doing. Obama\u2019s one of these people that believes that government programs, government size, government engagement is what has and will make a great country, not the individuals. He doesn\u2019t have a lot of faith in individuals. Liberals don\u2019t. They have contempt for average people. Liberals must look at average people as incompetent, and, in the process, in so doing, they credit themselves with needing power. Look, they really do look at themselves as best and brightest. They\u2019re smarter, they\u2019re better people, their DNA is better than yours. Their pedigree is better than yours, they are better people. They look down on you. They have an arrogance and a condescension towards average people, and their belief is that you can\u2019t do as well for yourself as they can do for you. And in the process, what they end up doing is creating an ever-expanding army of voters that will continue to reelect them in the hope that the spoils will continue to come, and that they will have eternal power, so forth. <\/p>\n

I think the guy\u2019s got a chip on his shoulder. If you listen to Barack Obama and his wife, I think there\u2019s some genuine anger over this nation, its history that is guiding him and energizing him along the way in his policies now. The thing I wonder about, as all this happens, is I wonder — and it\u2019s a serious question — I\u2019m wondering just how many average, everyday Democrats actually understand what he\u2019s doing and actually agree with it. Now, I know the fringe lunatic base has an abject hatred and distrust and dislike for this country, and they relish any policy that they think is gonna get even with people that they think have unfairly acquired what they have or just people they don\u2019t like. But average, ordinary run-of-the-mill Democrats, I\u2019m wondering how many of them, behind closed doors are beginning to ask, ‘Well, what the hell did we do?\u2019 I don\u2019t know how many average, run-of-the-mill Democrats actually think that the United Auto Workers ought to own 55% of Chrysler. I\u2019m not sure. I don\u2019t know how many average, run-of-the-mill Democrats want to look at every business in the private sector as an enemy of America, as Obama does. <\/p>\n

I know that Democrats and liberals, average, ordinary people have become hugely partisan. Our country is very divided. They have had their hatred for George Bush and Republicans ginned up, fortified, and fueled for the last seven years, ever since the Florida 2000 outcome. So I have no doubt that there is a visceral, almost an uncontrollable emotional rage and hatred they have for their political enemies. That being said, I don\u2019t know how many of them actually want a totalitarian, authoritarian government under which they, too, are going to live. There are a lot of wealthy Democrats. There are millions of prosperous Democrats in all walks of life, and some of them are very hard workers, like everybody else, and they\u2019re gonna get soaked as well here. I\u2019m not talking about the elites within Obama\u2019s circle, the political class, the elected political class, the elected elites, the think tank elites, the people in the ivory campus towers and so forth. I\u2019m just talking about the average Democrat in Naperville, Illinois, the average Democrat in St. Louis, Missouri. I\u2019ll exempt the average Democrats in San Francisco. They probably do want Obama to succeed at virtually everything he\u2019s doing. <\/p>\n

But I have to think that there are a lot of people who are privately — they would never say so publicly yet, it\u2019s only been a hundred days, won\u2019t say so publicly — but there are plenty of them that do like seeing ACORN protest AIG execs. There\u2019s a bunch of pent-up rage the Democrats have fueled for years, class envy and all this, hatred of executives and so forth, Wall Street and so forth. But I don\u2019t know how many Democrats really, really — I could be dead wrong about this, too — I don\u2019t know how many Democrats really, really like — because a lot of Democrats are vets, a lot of Democrats served in the military. I don\u2019t know how many of them actually like their president apologizing to Europe. Do you realize there are some Democrats in their sixties and seventies, eighties, who are fully aware that we rebuilt that continent twice, and we have a president running around now apologizing for the arrogance of the United States? <\/p>\n

I\u2019m telling you, there are some people who I think maybe in the campaign didn\u2019t see this. There was so much hatred for Bush, the belief that the country had never been worse than it was in the eight years of Bush, that any change would be better. But as this goes on, and if Obama remains as singularly focused and fortified on this anti-American prosperity agenda that he\u2019s got, at some point some people are going to wake and up say, ‘I don\u2019t hate my country this much. I don\u2019t think my country is this unjust. I don\u2019t think this country deserves to be torn down and rebuilt.\u2019 I\u2019m not relying on it, I\u2019m not sitting here hoping, all of this is because faith I genuinely have in genuine Americans. So whatever his endgame is, I do know this: It\u2019s about him. It\u2019s about him and whoever his close circle of friends are. It\u2019s not about you. It\u2019s not about the best way of life for you. It\u2019s about him. This is about settling scores, this is about fulfilling the dreams of people who shaped his mind when he was a young boy, all the way through college, and we know who those people were, and in some cases are. So it just remains to be seen how much he\u2019s going to get away with, and only time will tell. But because I happen to believe all this is true, this is even more of a reason to stand up and oppose this. <\/p>\n

The teaching tour, the reminder tour, whatever. ‘Cause I guarantee you, as more time goes on, more doubts are going to crop up in a lot of people\u2019s minds, and somebody better be out there feeding those doubts and confirming those doubts and giving people reason to believe those doubts are true. Because the people of this country still — and this is what I hope we don\u2019t lose — the people of this country still, whether they\u2019re misguided or not, get what they want in the end. They may not get it every election, but things even out. The American people did not want Republicans running this country after eight years \u2019cause they had been convinced that this was the worst eight years in the nation\u2019s history, a successful demonizing campaign from the press and the Democrat Party. Now, we got just the opposite. Now we got hero worship. Now we got the press saying we\u2019ve never had anybody this good, never had anybody this magnificent, and so forth, never had anybody like this. It\u2019s always going to be a tough thing to battle, but you have to battle it. And when there\u2019s the germ of doubt, and when you know it\u2019s there, you gotta amplify it, you gotta give people reasons to confirm their doubt. So that\u2019s why you stand up and that\u2019s why you fight this and that\u2019s why you teach and that\u2019s why you remind, whatever you want to do. This is why you basically go out and remind people of philosophies, policies, and so forth \u2019cause it\u2019s all going to matter to more and more people as time goes on. <\/p>\n

At some point, if we keep losing 600,000 jobs, at some point, that ain\u2019t George Bush\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not his fault now. At some point this is going to have to be tied to Obama, his policies and the fact that everything he\u2019s tried to fix is broken worse than when he took office. Are you better off now than you were a hundred days ago? The odds are, no. But they promised immediate fixes and they\u2019re out there singing the praises how well they\u2019re doing. There ought to be some sign here. There ought to be some sign things are coming back. And by the way, the housing market, there was news yesterday, ‘Yeah, we might have bottomed out, housing market coming back.\u2019 I was reading somewhere today, it may be a generation before housing prices recover. With all of the defaults and all of the foreclosures and all the late payments on mortgages and all this, to expect a bottoming out on this any time soon is unrealistic. And I told the people at Heritage last night, the more chaos, the most unrest, the more angst the better it is for Obama and his people, because it gives him even more opportunities: ‘Okay, let me fix it. You know I love you, you know I care about you, you know we have hope and change. We know we\u2019ve had a mess the last eight years, let me fix it. It isn\u2019t going to happen soon, but I\u2019m going to fix it, I love you,\u2019 blah, blah, blah. People: ‘Okay, go ahead and fix it,\u2019 when there\u2019s a crisis. And there\u2019s a crisis three or four times a day now.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Jack in Southborough, Massachusetts. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Rush. First of all, calling you is part of my apology tour, and I am apologizing for my fellow Americans who voted for Obama. And I wanted to also mention that we are now May 5th, and I would have expected some progress in the unemployment numbers at this point. Obama was elected in November, he has a full Democrat Congress to pass whatever he wanted, and these unemployment numbers should have started taking a little bit of a turn to the positive. Yet it seems they are continue to be in the negative and getting worse.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you vote for Obama?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Certainly not. But, I still expected him, as a Democrat, supposedly helping working people to try to make the working environment more prosperous so people could go to work.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If you didn\u2019t vote for Obama, how can you apologize for people that did?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, we\u2019re apologizing for the United States which freed people in Europe —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah, that\u2019s true. That\u2019s a good point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — which helped poor people all over the world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Touche!<\/p>\n

CALLER: When I was traveling in Zambia, my tour guide told me if it wasn\u2019t for food from the United States, he\u2019d be dead today. That\u2019s what he told me. All right? So if he\u2019s apologizing, I have to apologize for my fellow Americans who voted for this administration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. I understand it now. But look it, he passed a stimulus bill. That was supposed to be ‘shovel-ready\u2019 jobs! Remember the stimulus bill that was going to cause Caterpillar to start hiring people back. They continue to lay people off. This is my point. This is my point! Obama is not ‘fixing\u2019 anything he\u2019s put his hands on. Whatever Obama is trying to fix is getting worse, folks, but everybody still loves him. It\u2019s just been a hundred or so days. So it\u2019s gonna take some time. And I know a lot of people are impatient. But it\u2019s unrealistic to think that any new administration is going to bomb out in three months. That just doesn\u2019t happen. I don\u2019t care which one it is. Even Richard Nixon, as despised as he was, did not bomb out in the first hundred days. They tried to make it happen, but they weren\u2019t able to pull it off. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I keep getting phone calls from some of you and e-mails: ‘Rush, Obama, why hasn\u2019t he created jobs, the car companies, Obama –‘ you have to understand, he doesn\u2019t want to fix anything. He\u2019s trying to remake everything. Just listen to what he says. He wants to remake everything, and he wants to make as much of the private sector as he can become part of government. He wants the government involved officially, equity, whatever, asset-wise, in as much of the private sector as he can. I\u2019ll give you an example. I fully expect many of you will not want to believe this and may in fact start shouting at your radios when I tell you this. We\u2019ve all heard that Thomas Lauria, the lawyer for the hedge fund that held out for a better deal, didn\u2019t even actually hold out, they just offered a price, a negotiation to go along with the Chrysler situation. Perella Weinberg Partners, they were getting two things. They were getting death threats and that the White House, according to Lauria, had threatened his clients to sic the White House press corps on them and ruin their reputations. <\/p>\n

Now, the White House came out quickly and denied this. Lauria, in his refusal to comment, gave the impression that ‘Hey, it did happen, I\u2019m just not going to say any more, my law firm asked me to back off on this, but if you keep digging the truth is going to come out.\u2019 He\u2019s warning everybody, if you don\u2019t want to know the truth, let it go. But the truth is Obama loves the fact that two things are happening. He loves the fact that they\u2019re getting death threats, and he loves the fact that people think that he might have been willing to sic the press corps on a private sector firm to ruin their reputation. Don\u2019t forget, it was Barack Obama, when he called the bank CEOs up to the White House, to tell \u2019em what-for and how come and why, who said to them, ‘I\u2019m the only one standing between you and the pitchforks.\u2019 Barack Obama said to the CEOs of these banks that took TARP money, ‘I\u2019m the only one standing between you and the pitchforks,\u2019 meaning the angry mob. The implication is, if you don\u2019t have me on your side, the angry mob\u2019s coming for you. I\u2019m the only one that can stop the angry mob. <\/p>\n

See, when you have Chicago thug politics, the threat of intimidation, which creates a fear that causes people to shut up and not oppose you, is exactly what you want. That\u2019s the outcome. So he\u2019s not interested in fixing anything. He\u2019s interested in taking over as much of it as he can, and in order for that to happen, it has to not get fixed. As long as his popularity numbers remain high, personal approval numbers, then he\u2019ll have the freedom to tell the American people, ‘Well, I\u2019m going to fix this, I\u2019m doing it for you. We\u2019re going to remake America. We\u2019re going to make sure this never happens again.\u2019 While not solving this at all, you\u2019re supposed to take it on faith that however bad this is, it\u2019s going to get fixed, it ain\u2019t going to happen again, but it\u2019s not going to get fixed, not any time soon. So secretly Rahm Emanuel and the boys, James Carville, George Stephanopoulos, these guys on the early morning phone call, they love it when news gets out that they were going to sic the White House press corps. They\u2019ll act offended, they\u2019ll act like they didn\u2019t do it, but they know it\u2019s true and they know that every other business is going to see this. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve already scared CEOs into parking their jets. The private jet industry is in trouble. They\u2019ve already scared people into not going to Las Vegas. Obama said the days of corporate execs getting on airplanes and flying to Vegas are over. Steve Wynn, Wynn Resorts, reported a first quarter loss. Occupancy rates, money in the casino all throughout Vegas are down. The hospitality business is in the tank. One word from Obama could fix this. ‘I think we need to revive the hospitality business. If you have a jet, if you want to go to Las Vegas I think you should go.\u2019 No, the last word on Obama was, days of people who have money flying to Vegas for a good time are over. So, trust me. The fact that this bunch, Perella Weinberg Partners, getting death threats, my God, so did the AIG people. And guess who\u2019s waiting on the on-deck circle for their deal? The GM bondholders. Do you think after all this the GM bondholders are going to do anything other than roll over and let Obama have it the way he wants it? <\/p>\n

You gotta understand what this is about. You gotta understand how thugs work. Just listen to what he says. ‘If I could push a button, fix that, I wish I could.\u2019 Well, he\u2019s trying to give himself the button, and he\u2019s pushing it. If some inconsequential rich guys at Perella Weinberg Partners get a death threat, good, let \u2019em find out what it\u2019s like to live in the inner city. Let \u2019em find out what it\u2019s like to live under the threat of crime every day like most Americans have. This is about getting even with people, folks. And, I guarantee you, they go up to the residence at night or wherever they have their meetings, they\u2019re scared to death of us, they smile. ‘Cause I guarantee you, look, I know human nature, and I know how immersed in this God-awful concept of PR and imaging American businesses are. And if an American business or industry believes that its only way of staying afloat is a marketing and imaging campaign, and if they then believe the White House can come along and destroy it, they\u2019ll shut up, they\u2019ll be compliant and they\u2019ll go along. So the White House is not embarrassed over any of this. They\u2019ll deny it publicly, and they\u2019ll say, this never happened, and they\u2019ll put the clamps on Lauria so he doesn\u2019t repeat it. But even that is a show of the thug power that they\u2019ve got and that they\u2019re willing to use. <\/p>\n

When Obama figures he\u2019s cut the private sector down to size, when he figures he\u2019s cut Wall Street or whoever he thinks the villains in the United States of America are, when he\u2019s cut them down to size, he\u2019s going to aim for others. You could be next, or your industry or your company or your business could be next. And all of it will be done for the little guy, because there are far more little guys than there are big guys. An army of little guys who want to get even and who love the fact that Obama\u2019s their champion is enough to make the big guys cower in fear. Particularly if they\u2019re all dependent on marketing and imaging and PR, and they know that can be destroyed with one order from Obama or that idiot Robert Gibbs or whoever in the White House to just two or three members of the press corps. I mean, for crying out loud, if they can get a story, breaking news, MSNBC<\/a>, that Obama and Biden having a burger in Arlington is bringing the economy back, think how easy it would be to get a story that your industry is destroying America and has to be wiped out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
