RUSH: Let\u2019s go to General Powell, General Powell on Meet the Depressed yesterday with David Gregory. First question that we have from Gregory: ‘This time about a year ago, General Powell, you were in a feud with former Vice President Cheney, with Rush Limbaugh about the nature of the Republican Party, and this is what you said in May of 2009: ‘Rush Limbaugh says, ‘Get out of the room.” [sic] The Republican Party was talking to you. Dick Cheney says, ‘He\u2019s already out,\u2019 speaking about you. ‘I may be out of their version of the Republican Party,\u2019 you said, ‘but there\u2019s another version of the Republican Party waiting to emerge once again.\u2019 That was a year ago. Was the Tea Party what you had in mind, General Powell…? Do you think Powell didn\u2019t know this was coming? This is a hanging softball, slow pitch.<\/p>\n

POWELL: I\u2019m kind of like a Mike Bloomberg in that, uh, he has shifted back and forth. I consider myself a moderate Republican, and I have very, very moderate social views. I\u2019m pretty strong on — on defense matters, and — and I think there is a party in there that wants to come out. But if the Republican Party is gonna come out in a way that Mike Bloomberg is talking about and others are talking about, they\u2019ve gotta take a hard look at some of the positions we\u2019ve been taking. We can\u2019t be anti-immigration, for example, because immigrants are fueling this country. Without immigrants, America would be like Europe or Japan with an aging population and no young people coming in to take care of it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (Groans) I just marvel. We\u2019re told that this is intelligence that you and I can only dream of, that this is wisdom that you and I can only imagine. We are to be in awe of this because we are on our own unable to comprehend this kind of brilliant brilliance. Mike Bloomberg left the party! Mike Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, couldn\u2019t get elected to anything as a Republican outside the City of New York. And clearly, with all due respect, Michael Bloomberg is not the role model or the definition of the future Republican that wins a majority of votes anywhere. ‘We gotta take a hard look at some of the positions we\u2019ve been taking. We can\u2019t be anti-immigration, for example, because immigrants are fueling the country\u2019? What? We are not anti-immigration! This is the kinda talk you get from the Democrats. <\/p>\n

Mike Bloomberg\u2019s a lifelong Democrat who became a Republican in order to win after Rudy Giuliani. He switched parties in order to get elected! He only registered as a Republican in 2001. He was a lifelong liberal Democrat. And here\u2019s General Powell. Let\u2019s not forget: A ‘moderate\u2019 Republican who endorsed Barack Obama in 2008. He also says the president\u2019s critics ‘ought to be going after him on policy, not nonsense.\u2019 We\u2019re not going after him on nonsense. The reason the Tea Party exists is policy. Really, folks, how often have we been told since the early nineties how brilliant and how smart General Powell is and people like him. I mean, that whole answer is a walking clich&eacute; — and then there\u2019s this. David Gregory said, ‘Well, what\u2019s happening in Arizona, something that\u2019s animating the Republicans right now?\u2019<\/p>\n

POWELL: The American people want their borders to be protected. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. There\u2019s nothing wrong with making sure that people come across our borders, particularly our southern border, in a legal, safe manner. But at the same time we have millions and millions of illegal immigrants in our country, undocumented individuals, who are working, who are doing things we need done in this country. They\u2019re all over my house doing things whenever I call for repairs. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen them at your house.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So he admits that he\u2019s hiring illegal immigrants. Maybe not directly, maybe just in the companies he hires to repair things in his house, and that includes all the rest of us. ‘I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen \u2019em.\u2019 If illegal aliens currently in the country were all give an amnesty and were all to begin to pay taxes, Powell would start hiring the next wave of illegals for the same reason he hires the ones he does today. Why does he hire them? Why do you think he hires them? It\u2019s \u2019cause they\u2019re cheaper! It\u2019s cheaper to hire illegal aliens than American citizens who have to pay their taxes — Social Security, other taxes. After all, the general\u2019s six-figure retirement income only goes so far. You have to make it work any way you can. But this is striking, is it not? <\/line> <\/line> And this is the role model. This is what we\u2019re supposed to all emulate. This is what we are to understand represents the future of the Republican Party. ‘They\u2019re all over my house. They\u2019re doing things whenever I call for repairs. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen them at your house. We gotta find a way to bring these people out of the darkness and give them some kind of status.\u2019 Bring them out of the darkness? The clich&eacute;! Now, look, if he knew they were illegal, he was breaking the law, was he not? But being a moderate Republican (which also means being a Democrat) means never have to worry about breaking the law. Laws are for the little people. Laws are for us, only the conservatives. <\/line> <\/line> Never mind, again, if all these people currently in the country given amnesty, it sounds to me like he would hire the next wave of illegals because that\u2019s what built the country. After you give these that are already here amnesty, why stop there if that\u2019s how you build the country? What is this? ‘The American people want their borders to be protected, nothing wrong with making sure that people come across our borders in a legal and safe manner.\u2019 That\u2019s not… We\u2019re not concerned that they come across in a safe manner. Legal, yeah, but attitudes like his are not going to promote legality. And then on Meet the Press, one final question. David Gregory said, ‘You described him as a transformational figure\u2019 this would be Obama ‘to have a potential. Has he lived up to that or do you find yourself disappointed?\u2019<\/line> <\/line> POWELL: He has to focus on now governing, not worrying about the daily campaign problem or re… reacting to everything that comes across the cable news channel. I think he needs to sort of get above all that. Uhh, yes, Mr. President, they will kick you like a dog, treat you like a dog, but, hey, that\u2019s the nature of our system. America\u2019s a great country, and this is the way we do our politics.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Oh, the wisdom from on high has been pronounced on Meet the Press yesterday from General Powell! Going after Obama on nonsense? Is this the General Powell of Valerie Plame? Talk about going after somebody on nonsense, ever heard of Scooter Libby? Going after somebody on nonsense and knowing full well that Libby hadn\u2019t done anything? Didn\u2019t Powell let Libby and Rove get treated like dogs? <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Charlotte, North Carolina, as we return to the phones. This is Wayne. Thank you for waiting, sir. You\u2019re up next.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for taking the call, Rush. Look, I\u2019m a little confused and I\u2019m hoping you could help me out today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, back to former secretary of state General Colin Powell —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and his lecture yesterday on the mainstream media. How did he know exactly, how did he know that he\u2019s had and has been having so many illegal aliens working on his house? Either he checked the documentation of these people and hired them anyway, which means he broke the law, or he just assumed based on their skin tone and their accent, which means he\u2019s guilty of racial and ethnic profiling. Either way he needs to be held accountable. This is his Macaca moment. His opinions aren\u2019t suitable for an airport security check if he\u2019s profiling, let alone national TV.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I must say it\u2019s an interesting question. Nobody asked General Powell, ‘How do you know that everybody working in your house is illegal?\u2019 You know, General Powell is one of these people in Washington you don\u2019t assail, you don\u2019t challenge. When he says it, it is, I mean if you\u2019re an inside the Beltway media person.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that needs to change, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well, but it isn\u2019t going to. I mean he\u2019s going to appear on these programs where he\u2019s treated with the proper respect and deference, and if he says, by the way, not only is everybody working at his house illegal, it\u2019s happening at yours, too. David Gregory coulda, ‘Well, I don\u2019t know about that, General Powell,\u2019 but he\u2019s not going to react that way, just gonna assume that\u2019s the case because that\u2019s the template, that\u2019s the narrative: Hey, they\u2019re already here anyway, and they\u2019re doing all this wonderful work, and they\u2019re wonderful people. It\u2019s all about open borders and amnesty. They all agree with it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think he owes Governor Jan Brewer an apology and he probably owes La Raza an apology for racial profiling.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) It reminds me, you know, back on November 3rd of 2009 on this very program, ladies and gentlemen, ‘Top Ten Republican Moderate Moments,\u2019 that we did on this program. We\u2019ve gone back to our archives at RushLimbaugh.com. Very quickly let me run through the top ten GOP moderate moments. Number ten: Newt Gingrich doing a PSA on global warming with Nancy Pelosi in 2008. Number nine moderate moment GOP history: Bush-Quayle \u201992. Number eight moderate moment GOP history: Dole-Kemp \u201996. Number seven most moderate moment in the Republican history: Ford-Dole \u201976. Do you see a pattern here? Top ten moderate moments, Republican history, number six: Jumpin\u2019 Jim Jeffords jumps from the Republican Party. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history number five: Arlen Specter switches parties. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history, number four: Richard Nixon resigns in disgrace. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history number three: Dede Scozzafava endorses the Democrat, Owens, in New York 23. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history number two: the McCain campaign of 2008. <\/p>\n

And — dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut — number one top ten moderate moment in Republican history: Colin Powell endorsing Barack Obama, the Democrat, for president in 2008. Now, you can make up your own list. By the way, we should point out General Powell has clarified his remarks and told USA Today that he doesn\u2019t hire illegal immigrants. Well, he said they\u2019re all over his house but he doesn\u2019t hire \u2019em. The contractors hire \u2019em, but he knows the contractors. But he\u2019s not hiring them, he\u2019s hiring the contractor. Now, this is splitting hairs because it\u2019s General Powell\u2019s payments to the contractors that permit — and I haven\u2019t clicked on the story link here to read how the secretary general is shaping this. I\u2019ll read it during the break.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Angela, Montclair, Virginia, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush, since \u201994, and 24\/7 member since 2008 —<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: — thank you for taking my call. Colin Powell on the programs yesterday saying that he\u2019s a moderate, why didn\u2019t he endorse McCain? Now, it\u2019s very clear to me and always has been very clear to me that he supported Obama strictly on race.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, I said that, and boy —<\/p>\n

CALLER: We all know that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — an avalanche of excrement descended on me when I pointed that out, so you have been warned.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know what, that\u2019s okay, because I\u2019m a black person, and I didn\u2019t support Obama, and I\u2019ve lost friends, but I stand on principle. Now, Armstrong Williams, he made it very clear that he was having a tough time not supporting Obama because he wanted to see a black president. At least he was honest about it, okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Colin Powell lied. I knew he was lying when he came out with that. He can\u2019t stand on principle, he\u2019s a liar, he\u2019s a disgrace, and I\u2019ve lost all sorts of respect for him.<\/p>\n

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

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, General Powell, ladies and gentlemen, has clarified himself and his statement is: ‘I don\u2019t hire illegal immigrants,\u2019 period. That is the extent of General Powell\u2019s statement: ‘I don\u2019t hire illegal immigrants.\u2019 Well, let\u2019s see here, now. Grab audio sound bite number 21. This is from Meet the Depressed yesterday, David Gregory: ‘And what\u2019s happening in Arizona is something that\u2019s animating the Republicans right now, General Powell.\u2019<\/p>\n

POWELL: The American people want their borders to be protected. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. There\u2019s nothing wrong with making sure that people come across our borders, particularly our southern border, in a legal, safe manner.<\/p>\n

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

POWELL: But at the same time we have millions and millions of illegal immigrants in our country, undocumented individuals, who are working, who are doing things we need done in this country. They\u2019re all over my house doing things whenever I call for repairs, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen them at your house.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So not only are there illegals all over his house, they\u2019re at yours, too. He\u2019s certain. But today a clarifying moment from General Powell: ‘I don\u2019t hire illegal immigrants.\u2019 It is a little muddied. It isn\u2019t exactly clear. We have a statement yesterday on the Meet the Press that they\u2019re all over his house, like roaches. How many of you describe anything as being ‘all over your house\u2019 unless it\u2019s vermin or roaches, or kid\u2019s clothes, yeah, they\u2019re all over the house, and yours, too. But now: ‘I don\u2019t hire illegal immigrants,\u2019 that from General Powell. All right, so the matter has been clarified, correct? It\u2019s been cleared up. And, by the way, I don\u2019t know about you, but General Powell said, ‘There\u2019s nothing wrong with making sure people come across our borders in a legal and safe –‘ I\u2019m glad to know that. I\u2019m glad there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. I had my doubts, but it has now been pontificated from upon Mount DC, that it\u2019s okay, there\u2019s nothing wrong with people coming across in a legal, safe manner. Whew, \u2019cause I was wondering. Remember General Powell describing how we\u2019re gonna deal with the enemy in Iraq. He said we\u2019re gonna chop it at the head, we\u2019re gonna kill it. That\u2019s pretty clear. It was pretty clear when he said ‘Vote Obama.\u2019 That was pretty clear. This isn\u2019t clear. You go on Meet the Press and say, ‘They\u2019re all over my house,\u2019 and then Monday you say, ‘I don\u2019t hire illegals.\u2019 But this, my friends, this is the future of the Republican Party, this is where we should all be reaching, dreaming, what we should all emulate. General Powell is the head of the Republican Party. I made him so. I mean, I abdicated the throne, so to speak. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, El Rushbo here. <\/p>\n

I have a question regarding all of the illegals running around General Powell\u2019s house. If he doesn\u2019t hire illegals, who is it that\u2019s running around his house? He did say they\u2019re all over his house. Somebody\u2019s there. We don\u2019t know who it is. My question to General Powell is are there not a lot of unemployed black folks in Washington who do home repairs? I would think the construction business there is in trouble like it is elsewhere. I would think there would be a lot of potential hires, African-Americans, do repair work. You wouldn\u2019t have to go the illegal work. Of course he didn\u2019t, he said, didn\u2019t hire them. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
