You tell me to stick to the issues, and I\u2019m going to talk about golf. <\/p>\n<p>Greetings, folks, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network. Great to have you here. Can\u2019t wait to talk to you. Telephone number, 800-282-2882. The e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a little hoarse today, folks. I am fighting off successfully the full impact of the ravages of the common cold virus, fighting it off. I\u2019ve had this tight congestion in there, and normally it would begin in my throat and lose my voice for a day, but it has not happened. It\u2019s a little hoarse today so just be advised and beware. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>The same guy who has taken at least eight vacations in the last year is calling his own voters lethargic. Barack Hussein Imam Obama is trying to buck up the Democrat base telling them they\u2019re lethargic, &#8216;People need to shake off this lethargy, people need to buck up,\u2019 Obama told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview being published on Friday. &#8216;Making change happen is hard,\u2019 he said. No, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s been easy as pie. We have seen how easy it is to destroy the American private sector. It\u2019s been a year and a half. It hasn\u2019t taken that much. But it has required one thing, a Democrat Party running the show. It has required a Marxist president in charge of the Democrat Party. And the same people have been running our education system. The same people have been running the unions; the same people that have been running the cities that are broken; the same people who have been running everything that\u2019s been run into the ground, the Democrat Party, the American left. Destruction, Inc. Destruction personified. Look at the success they\u2019ve had in just a year and a half, and I mean success from their perspective. It\u2019s absurd. And now we\u2019ve got health care kicking in. This has to be repealed. <\/p>\n<p>This is a disaster waiting to happen when it is fully implemented. Making change is hard if you got a public school education. Well, look who\u2019s been teaching people. The American left. The American left\u2019s a one-party wrecking crew. Look at this: &#8216;Americans\u2019 view of the economy turned grimmer in September amid escalating job worries, falling to the lowest point since February. The downbeat report, released Tuesday, raises more fears about the tenuous U.S. economic recovery. It also further underscores the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street; consumers\u2019 confidence fell further even as stocks rebounded in September.\u2019 Now, here they are bashing Wall Street. Let me tell you why stocks are rebounding, two reasons. The Federal Reserve is buying stocks. Your average, ordinary asset manager is not the one buying stocks. The Fed is. They\u2019re trying to prop up Obama. And they\u2019re creating a bubble. This is an artificial elevation of the stock price, and at some point the bubble is going to burst.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I\u2019m sorry to be negative here. The other thing that has happened to the extent that there are stock buyers, purchasers riding the price up, it is people excited about the fact that the Democrats are no longer going to be in control of Congress come November in their minds. There are two things driving this. It\u2019s not Wall Street greed. The greed is in our nation\u2019s capital. &#8216;A tenuous economic recovery underscores the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street. Consumer confidence fell further even as stocks rebounded.\u2019 This is the AP. They want you to believe that Wall Street\u2019s making out like bandits. And, by the way, folks, there are people who know how to make money during economic destruction. People make money during all economic circumstances. It\u2019s the truth. The short sellers. There are people who get rich during times like this, and there are people who get rich during boom times. But the idea here that people on Main Street are in sad shape because Wall Street\u2019s in good shape is typical drivel, typical Democrat leftist drivel, as though it\u2019s a zero-sum game. We\u2019re back to the same old belief that Main Street is having everything it has stolen from it by the evildoers on Wall Street, and it is all a crock. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.28940.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Remember during the Bush years we were told that if we feel like we\u2019re in a recession then we\u2019re in a recession? Guess who\u2019s made more money than anybody else in the last two years? George Soros. George Soros, who\u2019s funding the destruction of the Democrat Party, is making more money than anybody else in the last two years. And George Soros is not pledging to give his away to charity, like these idiots, Buffett and Gates are. George Soros is not pledging all this philanthropy. He\u2019s not trying to score points. He\u2019s trying to screw, and he\u2019s succeeding at it because he\u2019s bought the Democrat Party and Barack Hussein Imam Obama. Why is it shocking consumer confidence is down? Who would think that that\u2019s even possible during these rosy economic times? What do these yokels in the Drive-By Media think? <\/p>\n<p>And then there is this: &#8216;U.S. Economy &#8216;Close to a Destructive Tipping Point,\u2019 Glenn Hubbard Says. &#8212; &#8216;America is very close to a destructive tipping point,\u2019 co-authors Glenn Hubbard and Peter Navarro warn in their new book Seeds of Destruction. &#8216;We must change how we conduct our politics and economics&#8230; or we will inevitably go the way of all once-great nations and suffer an irreversible decline.\u2019 Hubbard, dean of Columbia Business School, joined Dan Gross and I to discuss the &#8216;major structural imbalances\u2019 facing America, chief among them being the government\u2019s profligate spending. Hubbard, you may recall, was chairman of the President\u2019s Council of Economic Advisers during George W. Bush\u2019s first term. As you might expect, he is a strong advocate of smaller government and lower taxes. But Hubbard and Navarro, a business professor at UC Irvine, are also harshly critical of Bush\u2019s &#8216;gross mismanagement\u2019 of the fiscal stimulus bequeathed to his administration by President Clinton. Specifically, Hubbard chastises his former boss for the creation of a new unfunded federal mandate, Medicare Part D.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>US economy close to a destructive tipping point, says Glenn Beck Hubbard. America very close to a destructive tipping point, coauthors Glenn Beck Hubbard and Peter Navarro warn in their new book Seeds of Destruction. We must change how we conduct our politics and economics or we will inevitably go the way of all great &#8212; once-great nations and suffer an irreversible decline. Hubbard, the dean of Columbia Business School, joined Dan Gross and the author of this story, Aaron Task to discuss the major structural imbalances facing America, chief among them being the government\u2019s profligate spending. Glenn Hubbard was chairman of the president\u2019s Council of Economic Advisors during the Bush first term, George W. Bush, as you might expect, he\u2019s a strong advocate of smaller government and lower taxes, but Hubbard and Navarro, a business professor at UC Irvine, are all harshly critical of Bush\u2019s gross mismanagement of the fiscal stimulus bequeathed to his administration by Clinton. Specifically Hubbard chastises his former boss for the creation of a new unfunded federal mandate, Medicare Part D. <\/p>\n<p>I have to agree. Every time I ripped Medicare as the new Republican created entitlement, Tom DeLay would call, &#8216;You misunderstand. This is market reforms,\u2019 he said. &#8216;This is a great entitlement.\u2019 Well, it\u2019s just not something that Republicans do. It\u2019s not something Republicans do. Anyway, these guys are right on the money. The US economy is close to a destructive tipping point. Rahm Emanuel knows it. He\u2019s heading back to Chicago. Axelrod knows it. He\u2019s heading back to Chicago. Geithner knows it. He\u2019s stuck, little Timmy. Who else? Summers knows, he\u2019s heading back to Harvard. Christina Romer, she knows it, she\u2019s headed back to Berkeley. Not only is Orszag gone, he went and got married. None of the Obama team decided to show up. Nobody, no administration has had this kind of defection this soon into its first term that anybody can remember. And Axelrod even admits, I have a story, he\u2019s interviewed by Dana Milbank, the Washington Post. Axelrod is saying he\u2019s actually disappointed. He thought they were going to be able to come in and change Washington. He thought they were going to be able to come in and get rid of politics as usual just by showing up. He really says this to Dana Milbank. I don\u2019t know if he really believes it. Maybe he\u2019s one of these cowed people caught up in The Messiah who really thought just by showing up they were going to redefine the way this country worked and just by showing up they were gonna create a utopia. <\/p>\n<p>There has to be a reason these people are leaving. I mean if you\u2019re enjoying what you\u2019re doing &#8212; There\u2019s a story in the stack here, Snerdley, and it\u2019s in the Wall Street Journal about retirement and why many self-made people never retire and that\u2019s because they love their work. Retirement\u2019s not in the vocabulary. Their work is their life; their work is their enjoyment; their work is their vacation; their work is what gives them meaning as opposed to old money that inherits it and doesn\u2019t know what to do with it; doesn\u2019t know how they got it. All they think is they\u2019re better than everybody else because they inherited it. Here\u2019s the interesting thing. Axelrod is admitting to Dana Milbank of the Washington Post he thought things were going to be better, he thought things were gonna change, utopia. He doesn\u2019t use that word, it\u2019s mine. But he\u2019s leaving. He\u2019s leaving in disappointment, we\u2019re told. Or is he leaving in happiness because they\u2019ve succeeded in destroying everything, so now he\u2019s out of there. He\u2019s supposed to be running to reelect but he\u2019s getting out of Dodge to do it. <\/p>\n<p>All these other people, I mean they\u2019re leaving for one of two reasons: mission accomplished, or, uh-oh, ain\u2019t working out the way we thought. Now, we\u2019ve all acknowledged while they are book smart, they\u2019re genuinely ignorant, devoid of common sense, real-life experience people. This might be their first taste of actual implementation without any check and balance on them of what they believe. It might be the first time that they\u2019ve gone beyond just the theoretical discussions in the faculty lounge. Now, don\u2019t misunderstand. I know liberalism\u2019s been tried all over the world, but, remember, these people said we\u2019re the ones we\u2019ve been waiting for. These people believe it had never been done right. These people believe it hadn\u2019t been properly funded. These people believed the Soviets, ah, they killed too many people. Mao killed too many people while being brilliant. It hadn\u2019t been done right and nobody could stop \u2019em. Republicans couldn\u2019t stop \u2019em. The media was on their side, nobody could stop \u2019em. They have no excuses. <\/p>\n<p>In a year and a half they\u2019ve implemented a tremendous amount of Obama\u2019s agenda, and it isn\u2019t working. People always ask me why are liberals so mad, why are they so unhappy? Well, face them squarely in the mirror every day. It doesn\u2019t work. To the extent that these neophytes really believe this stuff is going to create a panacea; to the extent that they really believe that equality and sameness and political correctness and government spending is going to equalize, make everybody happy, to the extent they believe that they\u2019re witnessing the utter failure of it. I mean they are learning here, government does not create wealth. Government cannot create wealth. All government does is confiscate it. That\u2019s all government does. Like I asked you yesterday, why in the world if you work someplace do you want the government to raise taxes on your employer? How does that help you? It doesn\u2019t help you when the government confiscates because they cannot create wealth. They also thought they\u2019d be able to shut me up. That failed, too, again. So are they leaving in happiness, or are they being honest when they say they\u2019re unhappy and burned out or what have you? <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Actually, folks, it doesn\u2019t matter, because what is is what is and we are at a tipping point. We\u2019re on the precipice of the destruction of the wealth-creating engine of this country. That\u2019s the American people. We\u2019re on the verge of it. The guys that write this book On the Tipping Point are exactly right. FDR, LBJ, Obama had huge Democrat majorities. How many more experiments of this sort do we need to prove what a failure they are? They have such overpowering egos. They\u2019re sitting there and saying, &#8216;Well, FDR didn\u2019t do it right. He didn\u2019t spend enough.\u2019 LBJ, &#8216;Hey, he didn\u2019t do it right, he got caught up in the Vietnam War.\u2019 Obama, The Messiah, they had no excuse, nobody could stop them. They\u2019re lying to themselves if they\u2019re saying the Republicans got in the way because the Republicans didn\u2019t. They\u2019ve redefined how this country works. They have their boot on the neck of the private sector. They have their boot on all of our necks. They\u2019ve lavished our dollars on their friends and bureaucrats. They confiscate wealth. They do not create it. Even Obama\u2019s voters know it. What was her name, Velma? Velma Hart. &#8216;I\u2019m exhausted defending you,\u2019 and this or that. She may not know it in so many words, she may not think it as I\u2019m expressing it, but she finally figured out, &#8216;You know what, this guy can\u2019t make me rich. This guy can\u2019t get me a new house. This guy and his policies, this guy cannot enrich my life.\u2019 She may not want to full-fledged admit it yet, but she knows it. <\/p>\n<p>Axelrod, instead of skating out of town you need to take credit for all that you and your boss and your party have done. You need to take credit for destroying the American health care system, for destroying job creation, for destroying home ownership. This is their record in a year and a half. This is what they\u2019ve done. That\u2019s why we\u2019re at the tipping point. Instead of running out of town, &#8216;Well, I gotta run Obama\u2019s reelect. Well, I gotta get back to Berkeley. Yeah, I gotta get back to Harvard. I gotta get married before she figures out I\u2019m an absolute dork. I gotta go get married,\u2019 whatever. They\u2019ve done a lot. Axelrod, you have done a lot. You have changed the country and we\u2019re trying to change it back. We want our America back. This is the third time this rotgut\u2019s been tried. The New Deal, the Great Society, the war on poverty, and now European socialism under Obama, it\u2019s the third time it\u2019s been tried. It doesn\u2019t work, it hasn\u2019t worked, it isn\u2019t working, and it won\u2019t work. It\u2019s a shame I have to stop because this is a hell of a roll. And Hank Haney really isn\u2019t all that mad at me. He\u2019s a little sad. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.44878.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"124\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Do you remember Rahm Emanuel, when these clowns first got into Washington after Obama was immaculated, maybe even before that, Rahm Emanuel said (paraphrase), &#8216;A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.\u2019 Now what is Rahm Emanuel saying? He\u2019s saying, &#8216;A crisis is a great thing to escape from! I\u2019m getting back to Chicago!\u2019 He\u2019s running away from a crisis. They got all kinds of crises. They\u2019ve created \u2019em, and Rahm Emanuel, &#8216;I don\u2019t think I can make chicken salad out of this. I\u2019m heading outta here.\u2019 <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>I got a note from a friend. The friend says, &#8216;Hey, Rush, the ruling class are not used to being rejected like this. They\u2019ve never been rejected in their lives. Obama\u2019s never been rejected, so to be rejected by the voters is quite a stunning blow to their egos.\u2019 And that\u2019s an interesting point to me. You know, I\u2019m looking at Obama, he\u2019s out there exhorting &#8212; here he is, he and Joe Bite Me both &#8212; I mean, these need to go read a Dale Carnegie book, or The Power of Positive Thinking. You don\u2019t win elections by wagging your finger at voters and say, &#8216;buck up,\u2019 after you take eight vacations in the last two months! And Bite Me? Nobody can find any evidence any work Bite Me\u2019s been doing anyway! These guys go in front of their Democrat audience and say, &#8216;Hey, hey, hey, you guys need to buck up out there. You need to shake off this lethargy. You need to stop whining out there.\u2019 Really? You need to stop whining? They\u2019re lecturing their own voters! And I\u2019m serious about this because, at heart, Obama resents voters. I know he has this need to be loved and adored as the supreme leader. And, you know, all statists, authoritarians, do want to be loved. They find out that, as authoritarians, they\u2019re never loved; they\u2019re hated, despised, and feared, ultimately. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>So I ask myself: What are they even messing around with voters for? Because at the end of the day, they resent voters. At the end of the day, the ruling class resents they even have to subject themselves to elections. And every time the ruling class loses, be they Republican or Democrat (but especially Democrat), every time they lose an election, who do they blame? John Kerry, who once served in Vietnam &#8212; blame the voters! The voters are stupid! He did it yesterday. When they lose elections, it\u2019s the voters who are stupid. So I ask myself: Why do they want this massive outpouring of love and support? It\u2019s an impediment. You know, authoritarians hate elections. Elections are like wars: inconvenient things. They haven\u2019t gotten to the point yet where they can cancel elections &#8212; they have to go through the motions here, make people love \u2019em to win elections &#8212; but from that standpoint, that context, they probably are shocked and depressed. They are being rejected. Not used to it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s that Washington Post story: &#8216;A Sadder but Wiser Axelrod Packs His Bags.\u2019 This is Dana Milbank writing. &#8216;Well, we in the capital are relieved to know that we are not the source of Axelrod\u2019s digestive distress. But if Washington didn\u2019t take those 25 pounds off of the 6-foot-2-inch Axelrod frame, this town did take something else from Axelrod and his boss: the notion that they would arrive and that the culture of politics would change.\u2019 Axelrod\u2019s depressed. &#8216;In that sense, Axelrod, who announced a few days ago that he will return to Chicago in the spring, is leaving in defeat. It\u2019s not really an electoral defeat: Though Democrats will probably experience a shellacking on Nov. 2nd&#8230; Rather, it\u2019s the notion that Obama, who declared on election night that &#8216;change has come to America,\u2019 has failed to change Washington, a belief shared by 53 percent of Americans in the latest Washington Post\/ABC News poll.\u2019 Has he really failed to change Washington? He hasn\u2019t, in my mind. He\u2019s grown it. Washington\u2019s expanded. It\u2019s far more involved in our lives and getting more so each and every day. <\/p>\n<p>Later on in the story: &#8216;In a smart and well-timed profile of Axelrod in the current issue of the New Republic, Noam Scheiber describes an idealistic Axelrod made &#8216;very dour,\u2019 as an administration colleague put it, by the Washington culture. The campaign he designed for Obama to run against Washington in 2008 ran headlong into the Washington dealmaking necessary to get items such as health-care reform through Congress.\u2019 See, I knew it. I knew that\u2019s what upset &#8212; these people are autocrats. To a certain extent I believe this, and I think they do, too, they showed up and just because of their presence people are going to lay down. Obama had this massive, messianic-like popularity. They got into town and whatever Obama want, it was going to happen, no resistance, no opposition. And they couldn\u2019t believe it. They simply could not believe it because the ruling class is not used to being rejected. They haven\u2019t been rejected throughout their lives. So to be rejected by voters is &#8212; and even members of their own political class &#8212; quite a stunning blow to their egos. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As Scheiber wrote: &#8216;During the campaign and the first months of the administration, it had been possible to believe Obama wouldn\u2019t have to choose between his twin goals of passing legislation and taming Washington. But, over time, a combination of structural factors (the effective 60-vote requirement in the Senate) and circumstances (a Republican Party determined to oppose him at every turn) made the choice inescapable.&#8221; That\u2019s bogus. The Republican Party couldn\u2019t stop him at any turn. They couldn\u2019t. Not \u2019til Scott Brown got in there. &#8216;Obama\u2019s promise of change in Washington was a noble idea,\u2019 writes Milbank, &#8216;but ultimately either na&amp;iuml;ve &#8212; if he really thought he could fix this town &#8212; or cynical &#8212; if he knew he couldn\u2019t but told voters he could.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>So, what is this aimless whining from Axelrod? (crying) I thought we were going to change the culture of politics when we got to done. There\u2019s more to this than meets the eye. There\u2019s more to all these people exiting than meets the eye. They are confronted with a failure that goes beyond the success they\u2019ve had in destroying the private sector. They\u2019re not universally loved and adored. People don\u2019t bow down and genuflect. People want them out of town. It\u2019s gotta be a shock and this is when these kind of people get dangerous. This is when they start saying, &#8216;Why the hell do we need elections in the first place? Why the hell are we subjecting ourselves to these idiots that live in this country? Why do we have to waste our time persuading them to vote for us? Don\u2019t they know it intrinsically?\u2019 So they end up resenting all of us for their disappointments, whatever it is that depresses them. What president in our lifetimes has ever had it is easy? They talk about how hard it is. Obama had supermajorities in both houses of Congress. The opposition party couldn\u2019t stop him. He\u2019s had a press, for crying out loud, that\u2019s gonna die of anal poisoning if this keeps up. What in the world\u2019s Obama got to be disappointed about? He bows to other leaders because in his heart of hearts he thinks he should be bowed to. He\u2019s trying to show other people how he should be treated.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Old Barry is in Madison, Wisconsin, goes back to the old stomping grounds, had a bunch of really fun times during the campaign there. Washington Post: &#8216;Obama Looks to Reenergize Youth Vote, Get Late Democratic Surge for Midterms &#8212; When Obama steps onto a grass quad at the University of Wisconsin on Tuesday, he will deliver a newly tailored, more personalized campaign appeal aimed at ginning up enthusiasm.\u2019 Right, and he\u2019s going to do that, &#8216;Stop being so lethargic, stop whining, get out there and love me again, get out there and act like you love me again. The only thing about that might work, it\u2019s not like any of these kids has anything to do other than go to class. They don\u2019t have jobs, Snerdley. (interruption) Well, it\u2019s a good point.
