You know, I\u2019m so frustrated sometimes.  I know these people. It\u2019s so easy to know them.  I get frustrated that there\u2019s any doubt or misunderstanding about liberals and Obama and who they are.  <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14533\">That whole 1998 tape has surfaced<\/a>, the one in which Obama talked about loving redistribution and so forth.  Well, there\u2019s another aspect of it, and it\u2019s exactly what this campaign is.  He says in 1998 what he believes a winning coalition is.  Welfare recipients would be a majority coalition for somebody.  It\u2019s exactly what he\u2019s doing.  That\u2019s his campaign, and we pointed it out to you.  This is October 19th in Chicago, 1998.  Loyola University, then-state senator The One.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  What I think will re-engage people in politics is if we\u00c2\u2019re doing significant, serious policy work around what I will label the &#8220;working poor,&#8221; although my definition of the working poor is not simply folks making minimum wage, but it\u00c2\u2019s also families of four who are making $30,000 a year. They are struggling. And to the extent that we are doing research figuring out what kinds of government action would successfully make their lives better, we are then putting together a potential majority coalition to move those agendas forward.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67304\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushObama98ColbyKing.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  All right, so NBC went and dug up the full audiotape to verify that it was Obama.  Remember, &#8220;Angrier&#8221; Mitchell, NBC News, would not play the audiotape of Obama saying that he believed in redistribution. They couldn\u2019t confirm it even though White House had confirmed it.  The White House said, &#8220;Yeah, that\u2019s our guy.&#8221;  Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, refused to believe it.  They had to independently verify.  What does that tell you? (laughing) So, anyway, they did, they went through the whole tape to verify it was Obama, and what they failed to report is that at a different point in the tape, Obama admits exactly what Romney said on his tape:  Obama\u2019s intention to build a majority coalition of dependence on the state. <\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/player.ooyala.com\/player.js?deepLinkEmbedCode=w4N2d5NTpRvoDqq-uk56825aahsPQkDa&amp;height=300&amp;embedCode=w4N2d5NTpRvoDqq-uk56825aahsPQkDa&amp;video_pcode=k4Nmw6Cri746xA2OsoSlngyrIudg&amp;width=585\"><\/script>That\u2019s what you just heard, a &#8220;majority coalition&#8221; of welfare recipients.  That\u2019s Obama\u2019s constituents, and this is back in 1998.  This is many, many moons ago.  A little Elizabeth Warren lingo there.  Do you realize, by the way, William Jacobson, who\u2019s doing good work at the Legal Insurrection blog, posted recently that she, according to an investigation, had been practicing law out of her Harvard professor\u2019s office illegally. That she wasn\u2019t licensed in Massachusetts to practice law, and she\u2019s admitted it today.  It won\u2019t matter because liberals don\u2019t have standards that they\u2019re held to.  The law doesn\u2019t matter.  All that matters is the intentions.  Was she trying to help people?  Yeah.  She was trying to help people.  Was she licensed to practice?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, but that doesn\u2019t matter because she was trying to help people. What does it matter? It doesn\u2019t mean she doesn\u2019t know how to practice law. She just hadn\u2019t bothered to get licensed, but that doesn\u2019t mean she can\u2019t do it! It doesn\u2019t mean she doesn\u2019t know how. You gotta give her credit, man. She\u2019s at least trying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What about the regulations, the legal regulations that say that she has to be licensed in the state?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That doesn\u2019t matter, man! It doesn\u2019t matter because she cares.&#8221; I fully expect that to be the reaction of the majority people: &#8220;Doesn\u2019t matter. She isn\u2019t licensed to practice? No big deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s such cultural rot taking place, such a disintegration throughout our culture. Values, morality, you name it. Standards have been relaxed, and people are not being held to them. People\u2019s intentions, if they\u2019re said to be good and honorable, that\u2019s all that matters, whether you violate regulations or not. But, at any rate, here\u2019s Obama admitting it. You know, he\u2019s admitted so much in all these tapes that we found in 2001 and 2007.<\/p>\n<p>He talked to his union buddies about single-payer, nationalized health care. He\u2019s admitted everything. It\u2019s on tape. Everything that he\u2019s doing is on tape. Now, the Drive-Bys haven\u2019t dug it up. We in the New Media have, and everybody in our audience knows about it. But the rest of the country\u2019s in the dark. Majority coalition? Now, strip away (if you can), take away everything else you know about the campaign, about Obama.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ge3aGJfDSg4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What if you, just out of the blue in a presidential campaign, heard or learned that one of the candidates is seeking to build a majority coalition &#8212; in other words, he wants to win the election &#8212; by securing the votes of welfare recipients on the basis that he\u2019s going to continue to take care of them as welfare recipients; that he is not going to try to reduce the numbers of people on welfare?<\/p>\n<p>In fact, he\u2019s going to try to increase that number because that\u2019s how he wants to get elected. What would your reaction be? Who in the world would vote for that? Not 25%, 30% of the country would. Maybe all the welfare recipients, who knows? But at least&#8230; (interruption) No, I\u2019m not happy that I\u2019m right! I\u2019m used to being right. I don\u2019t get jazzed being right. What I get frustrated about here is that I\u2019m right and so few people see it, even when it\u2019s right in front of their faces.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what frustrates me.<\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Well, &#8220;Who wants to believe it?&#8221; It\u2019s not a question of who wants to. We better believe it because that\u2019s our future. We have to confront it. I know what you mean by saying, &#8220;Who wants to believe it?&#8221; But it\u2019s out there. Folks, here\u2019s another thing: Do you know why we can\u2019t believe the 1998 tape? Because I\u2019m talking about it. Because I\u2019m talking about it, that disqualifies everything on that tape that Obama said.<\/p>\n<p>No. It\u2019s because I, according to people on the left, cannot be believed. My credibility, my integrity, my reputation have all been successfully tarnished now, so that what whatever I say cannot be listened to. It cannot be accepted because I\u2019m disqualified. I\u2019m gonna prove this. Sunday morning PBS, Inside Washington. It\u2019s their version of these roundtable chat shows.<\/p>\n<p>We have Roger Simon of Politico, Colbert King (known to his friends as &#8220;Colby,&#8221; Colby King) of the Washington Post, and Charles Krauthammer. They\u2019re talking about Romney\u2019s &#8220;attacks&#8221; on Obama\u2019s 1998 video saying he\u2019s in favor of &#8220;redistribution.&#8221; The host, Gordon Peterson, says to Roger Simon of Politico, &#8220;Roger, Romney\u2019s attacks don\u2019t seem to be sticking out there. Why is that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: (whispering) All this small stuff is being dismissed &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67310\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/000MostDangerousMan.jpg\"\/><\/a>KRAUTHAMMER: Why is that &#8220;small&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: &#8212; by the American people as mere politics.<\/p>\n<p>KRAUTHAMMER: Why is that &#8220;small&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: Because nobody cares about the deep &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KING: And the &#8212; and people consider the source! Do you under&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: &#8212; in the roots parsing of language.<\/p>\n<p>KING: They consider the source. When you have people like Rush Limbow (sic) m-minute after minute after minute still making that same kind of argument in the face of truth, that goes just the opposite way. People dismiss it. They just tune it out.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you hear what he\u2019s saying? Here\u2019s what he says. He\u2019s got Obama on tape in 1998 and it confirms what Romney says: Obama\u2019s big objective is the redistribution of wealth. Obama says it. It\u2019s undeniably on the tape. Gordon Peterson asks, &#8220;Why isn\u2019t it sticking? Why don\u2019t people care?&#8221; And Colby King says: Because Rush Limbaugh\u2019s the one telling them, and since Limbaugh has no credibility or integrity&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Since we\u2019ve successfully decimated and destroyed Limbaugh, if Limbaugh says it, nobody\u2019s gonna believe it. That\u2019s what Colby King is saying to people. That was his point. I have become a&#8230; (interruption) Well, he\u2019s a columnist or used to be at the Washington Post. Anyway, that\u2019s his point. Look, I would think these guys would then want to get every bit of this information into my hands and have me be the one saying it, because then nobody\u2019d believe it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what they believe. If I say it, then the whole country will reject it because, in their minds, they have successfully damaged my reputation, integrity, credibility. So it doesn\u2019t matter that these words are right out of Obama\u2019s mouth; the reason nobody cares is because I\u2019m talking about it. Therefore, as far as Colby King is concerned, Romney would be better off if I were to take a 55-day vacation. Anyway, that\u2019s the point of his comment there.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I had it wrong. Colbert King of the Washington Post is not saying that people don\u2019t believe it because he\u2019s destroyed my credibility. He said people don\u2019t believe it because everybody knows I lie. That\u2019s what he\u2019s saying: Everybody knows I lie. All I was doing was telling people what Obama himself said. Obama himself said on the 1998 tape: Redistribution!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what Obama believes in. That\u2019s how we make people rich. That\u2019s how we make people well. That\u2019s how we have a solid society: Redistribution of wealth. (Which, of course, you can only do one time.) The key to this&#8230; Of course, there are many keys to it, but you can only take significant amounts of money from people one time. After that they\u2019re not going to have any more money for you to take. The old argument is you could confiscate every dollar of income over $250,000.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67311\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-tax-the-rich.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Not tax it, confiscate it. Just take it. Take every dollar over $250,000 in income from everybody who earns it. You could run the government for less than a month, if that. But you could only do it one time. Do you think people are gonna work to earn that kind of money if it\u2019s just gonna be taken from them every year? Would somebody who manufactures a product continue to manufacture it if they broke even? If that\u2019s all that happened, they broke even? Why do it?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>(New Castrati impression) &#8220;Because you love, Mr. Limbaugh. You love your job and your product, and it\u2019s a wonderful thing, that product you\u2019re providing for the American people.&#8221; Yeah, but there\u2019s no point in it. You can\u2019t live if you\u2019re breaking even. &#8220;Well, but it\u2019s a service, Mr. Limbaugh, to the people. There\u2019s no reason why people should profit in this country.&#8221; This is the voice of the New Castrati. &#8220;Especially, Mr. Limbaugh, in medicine! There\u2019s no reason that doctors should profit treating the sick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right. That\u2019s coming, by the way. I want you to keep a sharp eye for that one. If Obama wins reelection, that\u2019s gonna be one of the things that will become oft used in the advancement of Obamacare to lower costs, which they\u2019re gonna have to do. &#8220;Why should doctors make a lot of money? Who said that? That seems unfair, immoral, unjust.&#8221; You can only do it one time. You can only take what people have one time, and then you\u2019re finished.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just one of many reasons, but it\u2019s near the top, why redistribution doesn\u2019t work. There\u2019s nothing to redistribute after you do it the first time. But the left doesn\u2019t really know that. They think people are gonna continue to work, that the rich are just rich. They\u2019re just there. They\u2019re just rich \u2019cause that just happens. They don\u2019t see the process people went through to get rich. They don\u2019t see the hard work; they don\u2019t see the failure. They just see the trappings, the outcome, the result.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Colby King is saying: Ah, the reason why people don\u2019t care that Obama talked about redistributing wealth is \u2019cause Limbaugh\u2019s the guy saying it, and Limbaugh lies. Okay, really? All I did was repeat Obama\u2019s own words. Does that mean that all I have to do to give Obama&#8230;? If I quote Obama saying the most damaging thing, all I have to do is be the one to spread the word and Obama gets a pass because I\u2019m the one doing the criticizing?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what Colbert King wants you to believe.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what he does believe.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-four years of these assaults and attacks and so forth, and that\u2019s where it\u2019s ended up. That\u2019s how they erase it as a factor in their minds. And they\u2019re gonna be shocked on Election Day, just telling you. By the way, that 1998 tape? Obama also talked about gun control in that tape. I don\u2019t have the audio but I got the transcript here. He\u2019s a state senator and he said, &#8220;The vast majority of Americans would like to see serious gun control.&#8221; That\u2019s 1998.<\/p>\n<p>He was wrong, but that\u2019s what he said. &#8220;The vast majority of Americans would like to see serious gun control. It doesn\u2019t pass. Why does it not pass? It doesn\u2019t pass because there\u2019s this huge disconnect between the people, what the people think and what legislators think, and they\u2019re willing to act upon.&#8221; So in 1998, he believes the majority of the country wants gun control, but elected officials don\u2019t (because they\u2019re under the thumb of the NRA, is his unstated point).<\/p>\n<p>Now, remember at this point in time in 1998 Obama\u2019s a brilliant constitutional scholar. He was teaching (scary thought: teaching) the Constitution at the University of Chicago Law School. This is the exact kind of thinking that was behind Fast and Furious, which was all about closing this &#8220;huge disconnect&#8221; between what people think and what legislators like him think. By the way, this \u201998 tape is a gold mine, and it\u2019s the same Obama. That\u2019s the same guy, and it\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s &#8220;small.&#8221; It doesn\u2019t really matter. It\u2019s so long ago. Limbaugh\u2019s the one talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, Obama\u2019s the one talking about it. We\u2019re just passing along his words.<\/p>\n<p>My point is, it\u2019s all out there for people to learn.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all out there for people to understand and learn from about just who Obama is.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So let\u2019s go back to the 1998 tape for just a second.  On that tape, Obama sees welfare recipients as a majority coalition, and now we have record numbers of people on food stamps.  Coincidence?  And we have record &#8212; well, not record unemployment, but we\u2019ve got a government growing bigger and more in debt with more dependent people all over the place, and Obama in 1998 said that\u2019s how he wants to build a winning coalition.  Coincidence?  And, furthermore, on the 1998 tape, there\u2019s Obama talking for widespread gun control.  And we got Fast and Furious.  Coincidence?  No.  It isn\u2019t a coincidence, folks.  This is who the guy is.  It\u2019s out there.  This is what\u2019s frustrating.  It\u2019s out there.  Whether the media tells people or not, I don\u2019t care, can\u2019t control that.  It\u2019s out there for people to know. <\/p>\n<p>Vince in Medina, Ohio. Welcome to the program, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, a pleasure to meet you.  Pleasure to listen to you every day.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019m a little bit nervous.  I just want to say that at the beginning of your hour you talked about how they call you a liar.  Well, the fact of the matter is, they don\u2019t like you because you\u2019re telling the truth, and quite, frankly, they hate you.  That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.  They hate you because you\u2019re right, and that\u2019s basically what I have to say.  Do I sound nervous?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, no.  You don\u2019t sound nervous at all. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You sound forceful, confident.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.  You sound fabulous out there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  This is cool.  This is really cool.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; no, you really were worried sounding nervous?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, no.  Not at all. I wouldn\u2019t lie to you about that.  Maybe other things, but not that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Excellent.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So you think that &#8212; well, they\u2019re just afraid.  Here I am, but it\u2019s more than just I\u2019m right, if I might chime in now on this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  See, truth is the new hate speech.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Truth is the new hate speech.  I can be right all day long and, if I had no effectiveness with it, they wouldn\u2019t worry.  I think it\u2019s the fact that I do have credibility with millions of people, is what bugs \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I absolutely believe that wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I thank you for making the call and pointing this out, I really do.  Vince, you did great.  You didn\u2019t sound nervous at all.  I defy anybody to say that Vince sounded nervous.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Obama on gun control from that 1998 tape. I just want to play it for you \u2019cause Colbert King says that when I say it, you don\u2019t believe it. So here\u2019s Obama himself saying it on October 19, 1998 at Loyola University.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: The majority of Americans would like to see serious gun control. It does not pass. Why does it not pass? It doesn\u2019t pass because there is this huge disconnect between what people think and what legislators think and are willing to act upon.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So, in Obama\u2019s world, the American people wanted gun control, but elected officials didn\u2019t, and that\u2019s why we didn\u2019t have it. It\u2019s the other way around. Every Democrat president, Democrat senator, Democrat House of Representatives member wanted gun control. It\u2019s the people that don\u2019t want it and never have. Not the kind of gun control these guys are talking about. Anyway, that\u2019s Obama. He said it, not I. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number two.
