RUSH: To the phones we go, Edwardsville, Illinois. Ted, it\u2019s great to have you. You\u2019re first today. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega dittos from Illinois. You\u2019re my biggest hero. I am a younger guy, and I basically was just wondering if everything is ever gonna get better again, or is it pretty much what I\u2019ve got to look forward to, I guess, for my adult life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tim, let me tell you something. Things are gonna get better. This is the United States of America and the people who live here are still Americans. And we are seeing now there\u2019s a 30% disconnect between the American people and Obama. His approval numbers are plummeting. It\u2019s been 18 months. Nothing he\u2019s doing is working. There is a continually increasing lack of confidence and faith in Obama and his policies. The American people are not the people to just sit around and let this kind of thing happen to them. At some point — and we may have reached it — there will be a tipping point. People are not going to sit idly by and consign their children and grandchildren to lives of debt bondage, debt slavery, where they\u2019re basically working to pay off debt that is not even theirs. People aren\u2019t going to put up with it. <\/p>\n

This is the United States of America. People are not going to put up with the notion that we\u2019re not going to lead the world in anything ever again. They\u2019re not going to put up with talk that says, ‘Eight million jobs lost? Yep, we\u2019re never going to be able to recreate \u2019em.\u2019 Americans are not going to sit there and be satisfied with the notion, ‘The border is too big. We can\u2019t close it.\u2019 This is the country put a man on the moon. This is the country that led the world in liberty and freedom and creating economic prosperity, medical advances to improve life expectancy. The American people have great expectations. This administration does not. They preside and want to preside over a country in decline. The American people don\u2019t want decline. The American people want growth! The American people don\u2019t want whirlybird cars and windmills in the backyard. They want automobiles that they always have wanted. Powerful. They want air-conditioning and heat when they want it. They know it\u2019s plentiful. They don\u2019t want a government that\u2019s going to stand in the way and prevent them from having this. At some point, it starts in November, there is going to be a message sent, ‘Hey, Mr. Obama?\u2019 and, ‘Hey, Democrat Party? You ain\u2019t us. You are not the America that we want to be,\u2019 and that\u2019s going to start that way. So don\u2019t give up. It\u2019s going to be people like… Ted, you\u2019re 21 did you say?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, your future is bright because you\u2019re an American, but it\u2019s gonna take you being involved. It may be a little harder for you than it was for people in the past. There\u2019s no question that this bunch has put obstacles in your way. But, Ted, here\u2019s the best thing I could tell you to back up what I\u2019m saying: While all of this economic misery is being reported — and while a lot of it is real, and while there\u2019s a lot of unemployment and a lot of growing and people are running out of unemployment benefits — you look around this country and you also see people improving their lot in life, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not everybody is selling their house, not everybody is selling the car, not everybody is taking kids out of school. There are people who are prospering. They either know how to in circumstances like this or they\u2019re simply possessed of the American spirit. The point is that it\u2019s going to be people like that and you and others emulating them who are in the private sector who are precisely going to be the ones to save this country, in spite of this administration. You don\u2019t want to grow up in a nation in decline, do you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You don\u2019t want to be told that there\u2019s not going to be a job for you down the road, do you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nope.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So if the people leading you tell you there\u2019s not going to be a job, you\u2019re not going to sit there and take it. At some point, Ted, you\u2019re going to go out there and do something about it yourself — and at some point the entire nation\u2019s going to do that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We are not gonna sit idly by and elite bunch of Marxists turn us into Venezuela or Greece. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We are the people of the United States of America, and we\u2019re not going to permit it to happen. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right! Thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t give up, Ted. Follow me. I\u2019ll tell you when it\u2019s time to give up and panic —<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — and you\u2019ll know that when I move to New Zealand. And I\u2019m nowhere close to it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we stick with the phones. El Rushbo on the cutting edge of societal evolution. Our last caller, I\u2019ll bet you have a friend who got a job last month. That is, if you have 23,000 friends. You have 23,000 friends, one of them probably got a job. My point is that each of you know or know of somebody who\u2019s doing okay in this economy. Meaning, it can be done. Don\u2019t be one of those sitting idly by and just taking whatever this administration doles out. I know it\u2019s easier said than done and being entrepreneurial is not everybody\u2019s bag, but everybody has some creativity, everybody has something unique about them, many things that are unique about them. But what we all as Americans have in common are expectations of growth and greatness and opportunity for ourselves and our country. We know that we\u2019re all not going to achieve greatness, but we all have the opportunity, and we\u2019re not going to sit idly by and let a bunch of theoretician Marxists who have spent all of their time organizing or in the classroom destroy what we\u2019ve always known and what we built. It isn\u2019t going to happen. Trust me on this. <\/p>\n

Here is Ruggles from Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. Ruggles, great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Great to talk to you. You\u2019re one of my heroes.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I\u2019m in the landscape business down here in North Carolina, and for the past two years, really the past 14 months, we have been dying down here. Like you just said, there are people that are making some money in this business, but it\u2019s few and far between. I went from 2007 grossing over million and a half down to this past year, 2009, at $77,000 in my business. I\u2019ve laid almost everybody. I\u2019ve got four people left out of 20. And just two weeks ago my wife, working for a company for 22 years, gets laid off. Where in the world does anybody in their right mind see that this government, or this Obama administration, is doing anything right? <\/p>\n

RUSH: The only people that do, Ruggles, are the people who aren\u2019t working.<\/p>\n

CALLER: True. That\u2019s very true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And, sadly, that\u2019s an increasing number of people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I maintain that these kind of circumstances happening to you, at some point you\u2019re going to have a breaking point, and you may have reached it now. I can hear the frustration, the disgust in your voice. At some point you\u2019re gonna be Howard Beale in the movie Network, ‘I\u2019m not gonna take this anymore!\u2019 and you\u2019re going to stop depending on all of these wizards of smart to create circumstances where you can prosper again. Now, your landscaping business, you\u2019ve gone from grossing a million and a half to $77,000, did I hear that right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir, I was $77,000 last year. And I don\u2019t even think I\u2019m gonna —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You own the company?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. I\u2019ve been in business 30 years down here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, what is the reason — and it may seem obvious to you, but I want to know what they\u2019re telling you. What\u2019s the reason your clients are canceling their service with you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m in the new home market, and the new home starts have just — nothing down here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So you do landscaping for new homes. Have you thought about — maybe you do — expanding into landscaping for existing homes and people still living in their house? I mean people still need landscaping done.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, we do that, but there\u2019s still people that have got money. There was a period of time there the past four or five months, seemed like there was more calls than usual, but most people, after they get a price and they start thinking about it, they go, ‘Yeah, I think I better hold onto this money.\u2019 <\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what you need to tell \u2019em? Well, here\u2019s what you need to tell \u2019em, and I\u2019m sure you probably do because you know this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: People who spend a lot of money on landscaping do it for a host of reasons. One is they like it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They like nice manicured lawns and bushes, shrubs, flowers, weeds, whatever. The other reason they do it is to maintain the value of the property.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And one of your sales pitches ought to be, look, no matter what the circumstances are people want to protect their primary asset. Now, the home, that\u2019s another problem area, a lot of people are underwater in their homes but you gotta find the people who aren\u2019t who want to maintain the value of their asset because someday they\u2019re going to sell it, they want to flip it at some point. And landscaping is key — trust me, I know what I\u2019m talking about here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. You do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But, you know, you know this. You\u2019re not gonna get any relief of any kind from any legislation coming from the Democrat Party today, none — unless you decide to quit working and go on unemployment, then they\u2019ll be your best friends.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, that\u2019s the only way because I know some of my own friends that have tried to get help on their homes, I know three right off the top of my head that have lost their homes to foreclosure and they went and tried to do everything the Obama administration said to do to get relief, it did not work.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Well, I maintain what I said to you at the outset of the phone call. These are the things that are happening to people that as Americans they never thought would happen again. They were told, ‘We\u2019re never going to have another Great Depression. We got systems in place. It isn\u2019t going to happen.\u2019 And all we have is an administration that revels in these failures because they get to point fingers of blame, in many cases fictional blame, at their enemies, and their enemies are to be found in the private sector. Their enemies are self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-thinking people. And at some point, if you haven\u2019t reached it yet, Ruggles, you\u2019re not going to put up with it anymore and you\u2019re certainly not going to wait around for a bunch of politicians to make it right. Because you\u2019re going to realize, it is that crowd, the political class that has screwed it up. The sooner more and more people realize that depending on anything from these people — and I know that you can\u2019t get \u2019em out of your lives because you gotta go through them for permits, permissions, state, local, city level, doesn\u2019t matter. It just makes the challenge even harder and greater, and when you succeed even more rewarding. <\/p>\n

Tom in Chicago. Great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it is great to hear you. I\u2019ll tell you, I listen to you every day. You hit a point with me, Rush, years ago, you used to have segments where people called in with their inspiring stories of success, and I love that. You know, years and years ago, I still own the same business, but I was really struggling, sitting on the couch. I actually talked to you. This was about ten years ago, and you told me to just keep moving forward, keep working hard. I did. You know, I got off the couch and every day I lived my life, you know, in a forward fashion. I tell my kids, my oldest son who is in college with football, ‘You know, when you get knocked down, what do you do? You get up! You just keep moving forward, every day, no matter what. Somebody puts a roadblock around you, you go around it, you go over it.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, because somebody\u2019s going to do that every day.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, sure, every day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And it may not even be the government. It may be some creep in the office that doesn\u2019t want you to get anywhere.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, my whole life I\u2019ve never been on unemployment. I\u2019ve been unemployed, but I\u2019ve never been afraid to work. I\u2019ve worked at restaurant jobs making four dollars an hour, or back in the seventies, $1.85 an hour.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I owned a house when I didn\u2019t have any income, but I was not afraid to go out and work. We need to tell people, yes, it\u2019s bad, but you know what? If you keep moving forward, keep positive, stay optimistic —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — network with friends.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right. Tom, thanks much. For Ruggles, I got an idea, Ruggles the landscaper, Ruggles, here\u2019s what you do. Go to the banks where you live. They own a lot of houses now. Go to banks and pitch them on low-cost deals to keep the landscaping at the foreclosed properties they own up to par, make the bank your client. They own the houses now. It\u2019s the way it is.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s true, the banks are spending billions of dollars on landscaping on these foreclosed properties. They gotta keep \u2019em up. They don\u2019t want to own \u2019em forever and they\u2019re not going to be able to sell \u2019em if they look like rattraps. So if you\u2019re in the landscaping business, the banks in your neighborhood probably own a lot of the houses, probably make some bulk deals with you. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Chrissy in Toledo, you\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I just got a couple things here. I\u2019ve seen firsthand now for sure how the Democrats and liberals don\u2019t want us to succeed and do better in our lives. Right now I\u2019m a registered nurse, I went back to school for my BSN and now I\u2019m going back to school again to become a doctor. And I get so much grief that I\u2019ve actually stopped telling people what I\u2019m going back to school for, just telling them that, ‘I\u2019m just going back for my master\u2019s degree, nursing,\u2019 and those who do support me are —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait a minute. Hold it a second. Why are you getting grief?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know. They just want to stay where they\u2019re at and not better improve their own lives.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh. Oh. You mean your peers, your coworkers, your friends?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, coworkers and what not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I get it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And those that do support me are actually other physicians, but they\u2019re scared and other medical care providers are scared that they\u2019ll fall into one of Obama\u2019s like socialism programs that he\u2019s trying to pass where the cardiologist or the family practice doctors or the anesthesiologist will get paid kind of like one flat rate across the board.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Well, look, at least you\u2019re trying to improve yourself. That\u2019s the upshot of this, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. But, meanwhile, I\u2019m already 37 years old, so being that I\u2019m not a single mom, or fresh out of high school (audio dropout) extra funding that I qualify for. So I was thinking of you guys, and a number of years ago somebody had to have a bake sale to be able to afford —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. A guy named Dan. He was stealing my newsletter and making copies of it, and I said, ‘Come on, man.\u2019 He called here and said he couldn\u2019t afford a subscription because his wife wouldn\u2019t let him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right, I remember that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I said, ‘Do a bake sale, raise the money because bake sales are popular.\u2019 Is that what you\u2019re thinking of doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I need to come up with like $200,000 for tuition. So I think I might have to do a bake sale.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don\u2019t understand how this works. You don\u2019t need $200,000 for tuition. You need a $200,000 loan. Now, the student loan program has been taken over by the Obama administration — I got a story somewhere here in the stack, I maybe have it for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But there\u2019s a story about how a lot of people, if they are preferred borrowers, are really never going to have to pay it back. That\u2019s one of the reasons why Obama\u2019s taken over the program. He\u2019s taken the $75 billion student loan program out of the private sector and people are going to be able to borrow money in the program from the federal government to go to school and if you\u2019re preferred they\u2019re probably never going to make you pay it back. So what you have to figure out here, Chrissy, is what are you going to have to do to qualify for a loan that will be forgiven? Well, it won\u2019t be forgiven. You may not have to pay it back financially, but you have to promise to vote for Obama or Democrats, because it will be on those terms that these loans are forgiven.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Interesting.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, I\u2019m not making this up, this is how they are going to determine who gets an education. Why take over the student loan program? To put yourself in charge of who gets in. And when you put yourself in charge of who gets in, then you\u2019re going to have criteria for who gets in. You\u2019re going to want your people in there getting liberal educations, be they doctor educations, medical or what have you. So you gotta learn to game the system. My audience is not going to like me saying this, but the reality is what it is. It\u2019s like crony capitalism, in your case crony studentism.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The deal is the regime runs the student loan program. You need 200 grand to go to med school, all right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hm-hm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The way it works is you gotta figure out how to get the money so you don\u2019t have to pay it back.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because there are people going to be able to do that. I\u2019m not making this up. Now, you can say, ‘I\u2019m going to be virtuous. I\u2019m not going to borrow money that I don\u2019t intend to pay back.\u2019 Well, fine and dandy, that\u2019s cool, but you\u2019ve got a regime that fully expects to loan somebody money and not have them pay it back. They will own them in some other way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In the meantime, Chrissy, something else I heard you say, and this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Don\u2019t worry what other people say or think about you! Just forget it! That\u2019s the biggest shackle and ball and chain you can put around yourself, is to be concerned about what a bunch of people that don\u2019t even matter to you think. Forget them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
