RUSH: I don\u2019t know how you feel, but I just spent four absolutely wonderful, fabulous days at what I call pre-Obama America. From Wednesday night until, oh, I guess about nine o\u2019clock last night I thought not one thought of Barack Obama. I paid not one bit of attention to any Barack Obama-related news, which meant I had to keep the news networks turned off. And it was bliss! And to realize this was only just two years ago. I was able to relive pre-Obama America for four days. I would recommend this to anybody. I hope you all did the same thing. It had a profound effect and an amazing change on my overall outlook. But, of course now we\u2019re back, Obama\u2019s front and center, and everything sucks again. So we have a major psychological challenge here to deal with each and every day, but who better than I, El Rushbo, to deal with it and lead you through it? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Before I go any further I want to thank myself. I want to thank myself for hosting this show on tape on Thanksgiving Day, and I want to thank myself for hosting this show last Friday. I got a complaint last week. I read this complaint to you in e-mail that I was not thanking the guest hosts on this program enough, that it was rude and that I wasn\u2019t being kind enough. I mean, some of this criticism I\u2019ll accept if it\u2019s worthwhile, and I haven\u2019t been thanking myself enough. So I want to thank Rush Limbaugh for appearing on tape on two best-of shows, last Thursday and last Friday. <\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s worried this WikiLeaks stuff, at least the stuff I\u2019m reading, is gonna damage US credibility. Isn\u2019t that the idea? Isn\u2019t that the point of this administration? Isn\u2019t this the exact kind of thing Obama\u2019s been looking to do? Isn\u2019t this the exact kind of thing this administration, this guy has hoped for, less respect for the United States? Great respect for him, but less respect for us? Well, it\u2019s hurting Britain, too, but damn the Brits need to be hurt because, you know, they hurt Obama\u2019s grandfather. Don\u2019t forget now, Obama took the Churchill bust out. The Brits deserved to get hurt, the colonialists out there taking over and colonializing all these different peoples of color, the Mau Mau Revolution, Obama\u2019s grandfather, or father, whatever, got his butt kicked by the Brits. So, look, I mean doesn\u2019t all this kind of make sense? <\/p>\n

I heard about all this starting last night. I really did not know about all this stuff. Obama busted his lip out there playing basketball? Did his teleprompter say, ‘Ouch\u2019? What did he say when this happened? Does he play basketball with a teleprompter? What happened out there? The news didn\u2019t tell us about that. Sarah Palin, if you\u2019ve forgotten, Sarah Palin back in her high school days played in the championship basketball game on either a sprained ankle, a broken knee, or something. And poor Obama gets elbowed by somebody who won\u2019t apologize for it. I\u2019ve heard that, too. Is that not fascinating? Whoever elbowed Obama won\u2019t apologize for it. That\u2019s pretty interesting. But I\u2019m not even sure he got elbowed, folks, so much of this stuff is designed… and Obama\u2019s given up golf now, apparently he\u2019s not playing golf. He\u2019s out doing a manly thing, a pickup basketball game the day after Thanksgiving, gets a big elbow out there, yeah, real tough guy. I want to know if that\u2019s really what it was, or was Bill Clinton giving Obama lessons on how to bite your lower lip? And Obama actually did it, rather than just faked it, as Clinton was an expert in doing. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, folks, maybe it\u2019s just me. I\u2019m coming off four wonderful days in pre-Obama America, and I kinda resent having to come back to all this stuff. I\u2019m looking at every one of these news stories with a little cynicism. I can\u2019t help it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, one of the things I did yesterday in reveling in my pre-Obama America was I spent the day watching the National Football League, and I watched, of course, my team, the Steelers, try to literally give a game away against the Buffalo Bills, and it was luck. Poor old Steve Johnson, the Buffalo Bills wide receiver, had a bunch of passes dropped yesterday, but the biggie was in overtime. I mean a perfectly executed play, quarterback did the right thing, he ran the right route, he was wide open on the end zone for the victory, drops the pass. Steelers go on despite themselves to matriculate the ball down the field in the opposite direction, kick a field goal to win the game. <\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s this story in the New York Daily News today about the Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson, who apparently got on Twitter after the game and blamed God. This wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills went to Twitter and said: ‘I PRAISE YOU 24\/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO…\u2019 He actually got ticked off at God on Twitter. God probably doesn\u2019t have to tweet to know what this guy is thinking or saying. But can you imagine this? Guy drops, what is it, four or five passes and goes to Twitter and says, ‘I PRAISE YOU 24\/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO…\u2019 And then he got all humble and he blamed everything on himself after a while, but I mean this takes something, to go blame God. Who does he think he is, Terrell Owens? It\u2019s his second year in the league, some such thing. <\/p>\n

Try this. ‘The Internal Revenue Service has launched a multiyear plan to regulate the tax return preparation industry for the first time.\u2019 So once again it\u2019s government regulating private business. ‘In the first step, the IRS wants tax preparers to renew their tax identification numbers before Jan. 1. Anyone who prepares a tax return in exchange for a fee must obtain a preparer identification number. Those numbers must be used on each return prepared by the tax preparer. Those preparers who used their Social Security numbers as their identification number will no longer be allowed to use those, they must use the new number assigned to them by the IRS Return Preparer Office, according to David R. Williams, head of the office. According to a study conducted by the IRS, 30 percent of taxpayers use tax software to complete their annual returns and 60 percent pay someone else to prepare their tax return. In the future, tax preparers will be required to take an exam [for a fee] and take continuing education [for a fee] annually ‘to stay up to date on the tax laws because we all know those changes come fast and furious,\u2019 Williams said.\u2019 And why is that? Because they have to manage health care, now, too, Williams said. Again, this is David R. Williams, head of the IRS return preparer office. <\/p>\n

‘The IRS will take additional steps in the coming years to be sure payers can be comfortable with the people they choose to prepare their tax returns.\u2019 Oh, that\u2019s sweet. The goal is to make us comfortable while we fork over our money to a preparer. Wait \u2019til they get to the body cavity searches for income tax preparers. Wait \u2019til they get to body cavity searches for taxpayers. So let\u2019s see. The government gives us a tax code so convoluted that no mere working person without an advanced degree in mathematics can understand it. Then we\u2019re forced to pay additional money to experts to do our taxes, and now they want to regulate the experts. This is a power and a money grab.<\/p>\n

Now, this story, again, I saw everything last night. Folks, you have to understand me on this. I started working diligently last night at about 9:30, ten o\u2019clock when I finally figured out that the Chargers and Colts were gonna be a boring game. I still had the Chargers and Colts on, I\u2019m sitting there working, I\u2019m at the sofa, I don\u2019t even go to the desk, I got my iPad and my iPhone and I\u2019ve got printer software I can print from any iPad. Not Apple. They didn\u2019t get that feature ready to go, but I got a good third-party work around where I can do it. So I\u2019m sitting there on the sofa, I\u2019m returning some e-mail. I didn\u2019t return e-mail for four days. In fact, I didn\u2019t even turn the computer on for four days. I didn\u2019t look at the computer for four days. I got all my e-mail and stuff on the iPad. I read a couple novels. I went out there and played golf and a bunch of times, but I did not even go to the computer. I mean it was bliss. It was bliss. I figure the Chargers and Colts game is a bomb, so I start looking at stuff, and I found this on the New York Post on Friday: ‘Black-market Cigarettes Costing NY $20M a Month.\u2019 And I said, well, I know what this is about. And then with some of the details in this story you realize that people in charge of all this are just absolutely lamebrain stupid. <\/p>\n

Here you go. ‘The underground tobacco market is spreading like a fast-growing cancer in the wake of tax hikes that make New York cigarettes the most expensive in the nation — and it\u2019s costing the state tens of millions a month in lost tax revenue.\u2019 So what? My heart bleeds. So New York is being cost a bunch of money. Good. I hope it would cost \u2019em a lot more money. ‘Illegal cigarettes are pouring into neighborhood bodegas by the truckload from neighboring Indian reservations –‘ See, it always comes back to bite you when you kick people off their land. They\u2019re eventually gonna figure out a way to flood your state with illegal products and shaft your state of needed revenue. Finally the Indians are getting their revenge against the state of New York, while at the same time servicing the people who smoke in New York, who deserve Medals of Honor because it is their taxes that are paying for many children\u2019s health care programs. We\u2019ll never see a smoker given a medal for anything, even though they deserve them. <\/p>\n

Well, I know that may sound convoluted, but okay, we got a problem, we got children, another problem with children is health, right? We got another problem, we don\u2019t have any money, but children\u2019s health is bad, everybody\u2019s child gets sick, every parent gets worried when the child gets sick, gotta do something about it. But because of Obama and the economy, nobody has any money to spend on anything, much less health because they\u2019ve all been led to expect everybody else is gonna be paying for their health care and their kids\u2019 health care. So the average New Yorker doesn\u2019t think anything\u2019s gonna cost him anything. Then all of a sudden he finds out his kid gets sick, and then he learns that there\u2019s a program for it, and guess who\u2019s paying for it? Smokers. The most ill treated, hated, despised people in the state and city are paying for irresponsible parents to get health care for their kids. And what\u2019s the reaction smokers get? They\u2019re hated, they\u2019re reviled, they\u2019re kicked out of everywhere, they\u2019re made fun of, they\u2019re laughed at, they\u2019re stomped on, they\u2019re accused. <\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s another story. It gets even better. You know now, the latest lie and fraud: ‘Second-hand Smoke Kills 600,000 People a Year.\u2019 Six hundred thousand a year. It\u2019s not possible. It\u2019s not provable that there are 600,000 deaths a year due to smoking, period. It\u2019s not provable. If it were provable, they\u2019d ban the product. It\u2019s not provable, and now secondhand smoke kills 600,000 a year? Ha. At any rate, I\u2019m getting ahead of myself<\/a>. ‘Government data show that New York state is being smoked out of as much as $20 million a month from all these illegal cigarette purchases — an estimated 7.3 million packs a month sold off the state tax radar,\u2019 most of it coming from Indian casinos, which, you know, more power to everybody involved here. Indians get their revenge, people get their cigarettes at a more affordable price, state gets screwed, I mean what more could you want? ‘It\u2019s an unfortunate side effect of the taxes, creating this black market,\u2019 said Ron Turk, special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms\u2019 New York field office,\u2019 as opposed to the New York office office. ‘Sales of taxed cigarettes have plummeted 27 percent since July.\u2019 We all told everybody this was going to happen. ‘Sales of taxed cigarettes have plummeted 27 percent.\u2019 Nobody is quitting. They\u2019re just finding other sources and they\u2019re willing to break the law to get \u2019em. It\u2019s an addiction.<\/p>\n

‘State lawmakers raised the excise tax to $4.35 a pack on top of the city\u2019s tax of $1.50, making the average price of Marlboros here $11.60, with some shops charging as much as $14.\u2019 We\u2019re talking a pack. ‘About 30 million packs are being sold legally each month — down from 41 million packs a month before July.\u2019 So from 41 million packs down to 30, that\u2019s 11 million packs illegally being sold. ‘The plunge far exceeds –‘ and this is predictable, too ‘The plunge far exceeds tobacco-control experts\u2019 predictions that sales would fall 8 to 10 percent, indicating that smokers are finding other means to get their nicotine fix.\u2019 Really? The average American\u2019s always gonna be smarter than the state official trying to outsmart him. <\/p>\n

Anyway, ‘the New York Association of Convenience Store Owners estimates that as many as half of all cigarettes consumed in the state lack proper tax stamps. And law enforcement is also worried that the easy cash will spark rivalries among criminal gangs, just as drugs have.\u2019 It was all predictable. ‘We see lots of [rip-offs] and violence with drug trafficking, and you will see a rise of that in tobacco, too,\u2019 Turk said. ‘As volume and money go up, the stakes get higher. And certainly, a concern of ours is violence will spill out of this.” No, it\u2019s not. You want smokers dead. Does it matter how they kill themselves? Does it matter how they die?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t stop thinking about this poor guy on the Buffalo Bills, Steve Johnson. We have an audio sound bite of Steve Johnson at a press conference yesterday after the game.<\/p>\n

JOHNSON: It was a great call. It was something that we knew we can beat \u2019em on. You know, we ran it in the last game, and pretty sure they thought I was gonna run the over. And came to the back of the end zone and had the game in my hands and then dropped it. You go through that whole game knowing you got a big team like the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then you got this kid coming up in the NFL, you know, making plays, and all of a sudden when the biggest play that needs to be made, you don\u2019t make it, you know? You feel bad. I\u2019m devastated right now. I\u2019ll never get over it. I\u2019ll never get over it. Ever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, yeah. He said here that he had a big game in my hands, then dropped it, you go through the whole game knowing you got a big team like the Pittsburgh Steelers and you got this kid coming up in the NFL, you know, and then he\u2019s so devastated the guy goes to Twitter and blames God. He goes: ‘How you do this to me? How am I supposed to learn from this?\u2019 I wonder what Obama thought when this guy started ripping him for this?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One more little note here to Steve Johnson, Buffalo Bills wide receiver, a little personal note Steve. I love you, man, big football fan, but you don\u2019t go blaming God when you fail at a Hail Mary pass, that\u2019s just not good politics. <\/p>\n

You remember how mad people got at me last week, Brian, for saying that the Indians are killing us with tobacco? And look, they\u2019re still doing it! They\u2019re still doing it with all these illegal packs coming in from the reservations brilliantly and hilariously, very pleasingly denying the state of New York $20 million in tax revenue every month. Yeah!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Snerdley, you know what this New York Post story about black market cigarettes costing New York $20 million dollars a month is really all about? It\u2019s, hey, you Indians — he-he-he-he-he — you think you got away with that stinking deal in Manhattan, we\u2019re coming after you guys on this taxless cigarette stuff. Your freebie days are over. You\u2019re costing us money now. We\u2019ve paid our debt. We gave you the casinos, now you\u2019re gonna start paying. That\u2019s what this is all about. Oh, the poor state of New York, losing all this money, as though any of us care. Well, they don\u2019t care when we are cost a lot of money with stupid stuff they do. Nobody\u2019s out there crying for New York. (crying) No, most people are reading the story and they\u2019re happy about it, even if they have to agree with other people they hate, smokers. This is a contest of who do you hate more, state government or the smokers. And when you get right down to it, smokers aren\u2019t doing anything to you. They\u2019re not doing anything to anybody, but the state — ha — that\u2019s a different matter. <\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s one key element in this story I didn\u2019t get to. When we last left you, the state was beside itself, it had been cost all this money, all these taxable packs down, illegal black market cigarettes are out there, it\u2019s just like the drug industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
