\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: In Washington, President Obama is out talking to his left-wing extremist buddies at the Center for American Progress, a town hall on the education arts recreation campus. He\u2019s talking about the economy and income inequality.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Starting in the late seventies, this social compact began to unravel. Technology made it easier for companies to do more with less, eliminating certain job occupations. A more competitive world let companies shift jobs anywhere — and as good manufacturing jobs automated or headed offshore, workers lost of their leverage. Jobs paid less, and offered fewer benefits. As a trickle-down ideology became more prominent, taxes were slashed for the wealthiest while investments and things that make us all richer, like schools and infrastructure, were allowed to wither.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s not the sound bite I meant, but that\u2019s okay \u2019cause I can\u2019t take it back. I wanna stop it because that\u2019s Obama playing off the pope. That\u2019s Obama once again attacking trickle-down, lying about it. Everything economic growth happens with trickle-down. You hiring somebody to mow your yard is trickle-down. You get a service, whoever mows your yard gets paid, there\u2019s value all around. It\u2019s negotiated.<\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s trickle-down. <\/p>\n

You go buy a TV, it\u2019s trickle-down. <\/p>\n

You buy the TV, you get the TV, you take it home. <\/p>\n

Whoever made it benefits. Whoever sold it benefits. Whoever got it to the store benefits. That\u2019s trickle-down. It\u2019s exactly what capitalism is. These people have been on an all-out assault to demonize capitalism with that term “trickle-down.” What they want you to think trickle-down is that the rich will be generous and give money to people or that the rich will pay people thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars an hour, that the rich will be nice people.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what trickle-down is to them, and when the rich do not give their money away — and they do, by the way, in charitable donations that you couldn\u2019t and wouldn\u2019t believe. “A more competitive world let companies ship jobs anywhere”? That\u2019s been going on, that\u2019s the way of the world, and it\u2019s up to people to adapt. It\u2019s like Jeff Bezos said. It\u2019s a tough place out there, the world, and you gotta make your own place in it. <\/p>\n

The world is not gonna make any allowances no matter where you go. The world is what it is. The world economy is what it is. You carve your niche in it. You take your piece of the pie. The world economy, if it was all capitalism, would be growing faster that anybody can keep up with. This man is simply, ladies and gentlemen, uneducated on the economy. He does not understand it. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s simply a socialist who believes the rich are inherently evil, that income inequality is inherently evil, and that it\u2019s gotta be fixed by taking from the people who have it and giving to the ones that don\u2019t — and this business, “workers lost their leverage, jobs paid less, offered fewer benefits.” There\u2019s that word again, “benefits.” Benefits. What the hell\u2019s “benefits”? People are waiting around for benefits.<\/line><\/p>\n

(New Castrati impression) “Mr. Limbaugh, health care was a benefit, and people were losing their health care!” <\/p>\n

No, they weren\u2019t. All of this is a crock. “A trickle-down ideology became more prominent, taxes were slashed for the…” Taxes were slashed for everybody. The Democrats still can\u2019t come to grips with the fact that the tax cuts and the economic boom of the eighties are what made the Clinton years seem so prosperous. They just can\u2019t stand that, and so they have to go in and rewrite history and try to say that Clinton\u2019s tax increases are what made us prosperous, and that is in defiance of sheer logic. <\/p>\n

You cannot take money away from people and grow their economic circumstances. You just cannot do it. You can\u2019t take money from businesses or anyplace in the form of taxes, redistribute it, and call that economic growth. That\u2019s not what it is. Obama\u2019s been raising people\u2019s taxes for five years. Where are we at, economically? I\u2019m telling you, the man is incompetent when it comes to economics. Dangerously so. All right, here\u2019s the next bite.<\/p>\n

What is this? Yeah, he it is. He cites the pope. This is it. The pope, the media love him. He\u2019s the greatest pope ever! This guy\u2019s out there ripping Reagan, ripping capitalism, the pope\u2019s out there ripping trickle-down, and they love the pope now. They\u2019re really conflicted \u2019cause they hate the Catholic Church, \u2019cause the Catholic Church is anti-abortion. But here comes the pope ripping Reagan and trickle-down, and now they\u2019re conflicted. So I guess they can love the Catholic Church for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Some of you may have seen just last week the pope himself spoke about this at eloquent length. “How can it be,” he wrote, “that it\u2019s not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure but it is news when the stock market loses two points.” But this increasing inequality is most pronounced in our country, and it challenges the very essence of who we are as a people.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you believe that? This is the worst place in the world for economic opportunity and freedom! This, the United States, it\u2019s the worst place in the world! Cuba, China, Venezuela, you name it. Any number of places do it better than we do, do it smarter than we do. “This increasing inequality is most pronounced in our country.” What? This is… Folks, there nothing smart about that. That\u2019s not even a good lie. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think he\u2019s capable of a speech saying he loves the country. No liberal is. But this! To say that the increasing inequality is most pronounced here, after five years of Obama? What the hell has he been doing about it? Five years of Obama and he says this! He doesn\u2019t say this after five years of Bush or five years of Reagan. Five years of his own policies, and it\u2019s the worst place in the world? <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know, folks. This is just unconscionable. And then the pope, how come it\u2019s not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies? It must be. We know about it! It must be a news item. Elderly person dies, homeless, we know about it. It must have been a news he item. How else do we know about it? Obama, it\u2019s your buddies in the media reporting on the stock market — and, by the way, your buddies, Obama, are reporting on the stock market \u2019cause the only way that they can tell people that your stinking economy is any good. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why your buddies are talking about the stock market. <\/p>\n

Okay, I got two more of these. These are the two. I think where Obama goes after income inequality, but I don\u2019t know how he can outdo, frankly, “the increasing inequality is most pronounced in our country.” Now, remember this IBD poll. There are Democrats cheering this. They are the extreme outliers, Democrats. “Damn right! This country has the most inequality in the world, the United States. We have the most economic hardship in the United States. Damn right! Way to go!” People that believe this, folks, but they are not in the majority. All right. Here\u2019s the same speech, same place.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: It\u2019s well past the time to raise a minimum wage that in real terms right now is below where it was when Harry Truman was in office. This shouldn\u2019t be an ideological question. It was Adam Smith, the father of free market economics, who once said, “They who feed, clothe, and lodge the whole body of the people should have such a share of the produce of their own labor as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged.” And for those of you who don\u2019t speak old English (laughter) let me translate. It means if you work hard, you should make a decent living. If you work hard, you should be able to support a family.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, you can\u2019t do that in America anymore, especially after five years of Obama. You can\u2019t even find a job because of Obama. So now we\u2019re going to go out there and attack Adam Smith and claim that Adam Smith wanted to increase the minimum wage. “It\u2019s well past time to raise the minimum wage… real terms…” It\u2019s not gonna solve anything. It never has. We\u2019ve raised it I don\u2019t know how many times. <\/p>\n

“But never enough Mr. Limbaugh! We\u2019ve never raised it enough.” All right, what should be enough? This is exactly why we have to keep re-litigating this failed crap of liberalism. We have to keep going through this. It never works, it never has worked, because we have to keep reminding people of it \u2019cause we still have the brain-dead advocates of this stuff. Okay, here\u2019s the last one, I promise.<\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: This law\u2019s gonna work, and for the sake of our economic security it needs to work. (applause) If you still don\u2019t like Obamacare — and I know you don\u2019t — even though it\u2019s built on market-based ideas of choice and competition and the private sector, then you should explain how exactly you cut costs and cover more people and make insurance more secure. You owe it to the American people to tell us what you are for, not just what you\u2019re against.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We do it every day. That\u2019s another thing. You never tell us what you\u2019re for. We do it every day. Everybody knows what I\u2019ll for. Anyway. From the New York Times, one quick thing. August 31st of this year: “Income Gap Grows Wider and Faster — From 2009 through 2011, the latest year for which the data is available, the ratio increased 1.14 percentage points annually, or roughly four times faster” under Obama than prior to Obama. He\u2019s out there ripping into income inequality, and it has grown four times faster during his presidency. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s the architect of it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: How come nobody has a problem with Obama quoting the pope to make a point about how awful we are? Nobody has a problem. Obama can go out and quote the pope to make the point the United States is awful. Well, if Obama can quote the pope about how bad America is, why can\u2019t we quote Jeremiah Wright to make a point about how awful Obama is? Why is Jeremiah Wright off-limits and the pope isn\u2019t? It\u2019s just a question. No. I\u2019m not trying to stir things up here. It\u2019s just a question that occurred to me. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, you know, Obama is out trying to rebrand Obamacare. He\u2019s out there trying to convince people now that — I don\u2019t know what he thinks he can say after six years. I don\u2019t know what new he thinks… You know what he\u2019s doing? He\u2019s actually claiming that one of the benefits of Obamacare is the redistribution of income. He\u2019s actually promoting this as though it\u2019s one of the great benefits of Obamacare. And we thought that you would like to hear how it sounded when he got out there yesterday.<\/p>\n

(playing of Obama spoof.) <\/p>\n

Rebranding Obamacare. Oh, whoop-de-doo. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, if you missed this, you\u2019ve got to hear this again. This is the president citing the pope, his new best friend. ‘Cause the pope is ripping America. The pope is ripping capitalism. The pope is ripping Ronaldus Magnus. The pope is ripping trickle-down economics, and Obama\u2019s having an orgasm. Jeremiah Wright is beside himself. Jeremiah Wright thought he was Obama\u2019s preacher, now the pope somehow has co-opted Obama. Who would have ever thought?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/line>And, by the way, the pope is out there saying that no matter what, Pope Francis, he said yesterday, no matter how progressive minded the world turns, the Catholic Church can never compromise on its no-abortion rule. He said it\u2019s a matter of human dignity. In Democrat parlance, the pope is an old white guy. They don\u2019t like old white guys. Old white guys are the problem, nuclear family and all that. So they\u2019re really conflicted. I mean, the pope is singing their song on trickle-down and capitalism, but he\u2019s not budging on abortion. But Obama\u2019s still overcome. You\u2019ve got to hear this one more time. <\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: Some of you may have seen just last week the pope himself spoke about this at eloquent length. “How can it be,” he wrote, “that it\u2019s not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure but it is news when the stock market loses two points.” But this increasing inequality is most pronounced in our country, and it challenges the very essence of who we are as a people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is infuriating. The increasing inequality in the world is most pronounced in our country. This guy just can\u2019t wait to rip this country apart. He just can\u2019t wait. Every day, whenever there\u2019s an opportunity to criticize this country, he\u2019s the first in line. And that is just an outright falsehood. The increasing inequality, income, wealth, whatever, is most pronounced in our country? <\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ll tell you the way he means that. We\u2019ve got too many rich people. We need more people who are poor and lower middle class. That\u2019s the only way we can have equality and fairness. People have gotta be cringing that they ever voted for this guy. And how can it be it\u2019s not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure? How can it not be a news item when four people die in Benghazi? How\u2019d that not end up being a news item? Four people, our ambassador, dead in Benghazi. Why was that not a news item? Why wasn\u2019t there any compassion about that, trying to get to the bottom of that? Why\u2019d we blame that on some nameless little guy that did a video nobody ever saw? Anyway, it\u2019s just astounding, folks. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know what real inequality is? You got Barack Obama, who is a multimillionaire because of books and whatever else he\u2019s been able to do, sitting in the White House. He\u2019s in the lap of luxury, his own Boeing 747, and in Kenya his brother is living in a hut. You want to talk about income inequality? Barack Obama has family members living on less than a dollar a day, one of them in a six-by-nine-foot hut. Dinesh D\u2019Souza went over, tracked the guy down, confirmed it. <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s income inequality, wealth inequality. The highest levels of income inequality were not found in the last decade in the United States. They were found in countries such as the Central African Republic, Honduras, Angola, Haiti, South Africa, and Namibia. And there\u2019s a web link source for this. The United States is never gonna be at the top of any list of income inequality. <\/p>\n

I gotta stop. If I keep going here, folks, I\u2019m never gonna get to the phones and I\u2019m promising this, so we\u2019re gonna go back to \u2019em. <\/p>\n

Now Boca Raton. Phillip, thanks for waiting. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush great to be with you. <\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s great to have you on the program. (He can\u2019t hear me when he\u2019s talking.) How are you, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am doing well, and congratulations on the massive success of Rush Revere. It\u2019s great. I\u2019m looking forward to reading it over Christmas and ordering a copy. Thank you again.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I wanted to interject something that\u2019s a little more encouraging and positive from your opening monologue and it has to do with what the media is doing here and a turn that I\u2019m beginning to see — and specifically when I was in college, and this is going back to the early eighties. CNN was still very new. It was just launched. Ted Turner had the 24-hour channel for cable news, and in my broadcast journalism class, they stated that in order to get the kind of credibility you need to be noted by other organizations, news organizations, you know, AP, UPI in different —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait just a second. You said that they taught you in broadcast journalism that in order to get the kind of a credibility you need, you need to be cited by other organizations?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You needed to be quoted or cited in order to establish credibility, therefore if you saw an AP report that said CNN confirmed that they had sources that said the following. By AP associating a quote from a newly organized news organization like CNN, that promotes their credibility.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I see. Okay. All right. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So when AP cites a CNN story, that grants CNN credibility?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Are you there?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. I\u2019m here. You\u2019re on a cell phone. You can\u2019t hear me.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not sure if you can hear me, Rush. Can you hear me?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You with be with I hear you. You\u2019re on a cell phone. You can\u2019t hear me. Do you realize I could…? We got his point. Phillip, thanks much. I know what he\u2019s talking about and where he\u2019s going with this. He\u2019s now saying that in other media, they\u2019re citing conservative media. Based on what he was taught in broadcast journalism, he\u2019s claiming that just the rest of the media citing conservative media is automatically bestowing credibility on it, ad he thinks that\u2019s a positive. That\u2019s what he was gonna say. So I wanted to help.<\/p>\n

Toledo, Ohio. Zack, great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Good. I am actually an undergraduate student, just finishing up a degree in economics, and so president\u2019s speech really bothered me in a lot of ways. But one point I haven\u2019t heard you discuss today is the part where he spoke about post-World War II America and how we got to where we were with the economic growth we experienced then. He cited the safety net system as giving us huge amounts of growth post-World War II, and it\u2019s incredible to me that essentially an increased tax burden upon the American people is how he associates growth. It\u2019s backwards. It makes no economic sense.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, first thing, I didn\u2019t hear him \u2019cause it happened while I was on the air, and nobody has given me a transcript. I haven\u2019t had a chance to read a transcript of what he said, but now that you\u2019ve told me, I will comment on it when we get back.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Here\u2019s what Obama said. This is what Zack was talking about when Obama claimed that the safety net was responsible for our economic boom. Now, just in the first place, what he\u2019s saying is that welfare benefits and paying people not to work creates an economic boom. He\u2019s not alone. Nancy Pelosi, don\u2019t forget, said that unemployment compensation stimulates the economy. She said, what, for every dollar of unemployment we get $4 of economic growth or some such thing. <\/p>\n

This is what these people say. Whether they really believe it or not, that\u2019s up for grabs. But here\u2019s what Obama said. “When millions lived in poverty, FDR fought for Social Security, and insurance for the unemployed, and a minimum wage. When millions died without health insurance, LBJ fought for Medicare and Medicaid. Together, we forged a New Deal, declared a War on Poverty in a great society. <\/line><\/p>\n

“We built a ladder of opportunity to climb, and stretched out a safety net beneath so that if we fell, it wouldn\u00c2\u2019t be too far, and we could bounce back. And as a result, America built the largest middle class the world has ever known. And for the three decades after World War II, it was the engine of our prosperity.” Obama is claiming that it was the New Deal and the War on Poverty and the Great Society that created economic prosperity.<\/p>\n

Not work, not free markets, not growing economies and increasing job opportunities, but government taking care of people, government creating dependent people. Anybody who wants to talk about the safety net driving prosperity, the fact of the matter is, there was a time, folks, when we could afford the safety net. We can\u2019t any longer, but there was a time where we had the money to have a safety net for people who really needed it. The problem with Obama and the Democrats is, they want everybody in the safety net.<\/p>\n

They want everybody there. <\/p>\n

You and I happen to believe that we need a safety net for people literally incapable of helping themselves. We are compassionate people. But we would never have been able to afford it. Those are lavish things. A social safety net, paying people not to work, whatever he talked about. Those are really luxurious, lavish things, and we were able to afford those things because we had an economic boom.<\/p>\n

At the same time we didn\u2019t have a whole lot of economic competition, and now we do, in spades. There wasn\u2019t a lot of worldwide competition. By Obama\u2019s logic, Greece should be an economic showplace. By Obama\u2019s logic, Cuba and Venezuela ought to be superpowers. This… I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s silly. It\u2019s dangerously dumb to really believe this stuff. Now, it resonates with people, but it doesn\u2019t work. They have to create this level of dependency first for this to be perceived as something really valuable. <\/p>\n

But it just goes against every fabric of our foundation, and it\u2019s colossal ignorance to think that is what built the United States as a superpower. A safety net? The welfare state? That creates economic growth and a nation becomes a superpower because of it? This is why people call Obama “an economic jackass,” and it\u2019s being kind. What he is is a dyed-in-the-wool socialist. No. I didn\u2019t call him that. That is why people have called him “an economic jackass.” <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not calling him that. I\u2019m calling him a dyed-in-the-wool socialist. This is a guy… Remember, Obama is the guy who said, “You didn\u2019t build that. Y ou didn\u2019t make that happen. We all built that for you.” This guy\u2019s to the left of Elizabeth Warren. You know, we\u2019ve never elected a president like this — I mean, arguably, not even FDR. Woodrow Wilson, those guys, maybe FDR. It\u2019s a close toss-up, but it\u2019s just mind-boggling to hear this stuff. To believe that we actually elected somebody like this is just stunning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
