Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It is great to talk to you, Rush. By the way, I\u2019ve tried your tea and it\u2019s absolutely wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir. I really appreciate your saying that.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: Yeah, I wish I woulda won a year\u2019s supply though. (chuckling)<\/line><BR\/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FMI-pKpc8fU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, hang in, you\u2019re gonna have plenty of opportunities to do that because we got countless promotions coming up.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: All right. Anyway, my point is, is right after Obama got elected &#8212; I believe it was right after he got elected &#8212; he was saying that there\u2019s a time for profit, but it\u2019s not now. But when he wanted to try to do this new jobs bill, he made the statement we need to be able to start our own businesses and become millionaires and billionaires. Now, how contradictory is that?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You remember the statement when he made it?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I had not. I have to admit, did he really say &#8220;now is not the time for profit&#8221;? I mean, I\u2019m not surprised. I just didn\u2019t know he said that. I\u2019ve been too busy following the Amanda Knox story.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He said there\u2019s a time for profit but that time is not now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s a time for profit but that time is not now and yet &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushEIBIpad.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: &#8212; at the same time we\u2019re supposed to become millionaires and billionaires?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: In other words, he didn\u2019t want us to make any money because he has an agenda, I believe. He really is trying to destroy America. I really believe he is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I do, too. As founded. There\u2019s always gonna be an America. It\u2019s just a matter of how it\u2019s spelled and what it is, but there\u2019s always going to be an America. I think there is a war against the way the country was founded. So there\u2019s a time and place for profit but not now? (laughing) And this guy got a vote? And this guy won? A time for profit but not now. I\u2019ll tell you when it\u2019s time for profit! (laughing) All right. Richard, appreciate the call. Thanks much. I\u2019m glad you love the tea. Richard?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Richard, you know what? You said you wanted to win some tea for a year. I don\u2019t have that. Do you use computers?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Do I use computers?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, are you familiar with them? Are you computer-literate?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, I\u2019m not illiterate. I use it quite a bit. I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m a software specialist or anything like that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, I\u2019m not asking &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m not not on the computer at all.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know how to surf the Web and send e-mail and stuff?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, yes, absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, cool, okay. I want to give you something, Richard, \u2019cause my prize closet is growing here. I want to send you &#8212; I don\u2019t have these in yet. There\u2019s a paperback version of a book written about me that\u2019s semibiographical. It\u2019s by <a view=\"line\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rush-Limbaugh-Army-Zev-Chafets\/dp\/1595230815\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1317849780&#038;sr=8-1\">Zev Chafets called &#8220;An Army of One,&#8221; <\/a>and the paperback version is out now, and I have recommended the book to people. I did participate a little bit in it, and it\u2019s as good as anything that\u2019s been written about me and they\u2019re gonna send me some paperback&#8230; (interruption) We got \u2019em? Oh, we got them. Okay, we got the paperback. So I\u2019m gonna send you one, Richard, since you knew something that I didn\u2019t know. That deserves a prize.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And I\u2019m gonna send you an engraved Rush Limbaugh signature EIB engraved iPad 2 and a copy of &#8220;An Army of One.&#8221; So what I need you to do is hold on and Snerdley will pick up the phone and he\u2019ll get all the information that we need from you to send it to you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The iPad will be perfect for you. It\u2019s the most intuitive computer out there. You can use it out of the box on your own. You\u2019re gonna have to have iTunes and all to activate it and so forth but that\u2019s a snap, it\u2019s easy, and the book is good, too. So it\u2019s your lucky day here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s absolutely wonderful, Mr. Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And Richard I\u2019ll tell you what else I\u2019m gonna do. Since you sound so excited out there I am going to throw in a case of tea. What\u2019s your flavor? What\u2019s your favorite flavor?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I like the raspberry regular, not diet, the raspberry.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Diet or regular?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Regular.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Regular diet? Regular raspberry. The one with sugar.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Regular raspberry, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, the stuff that causes diabetes. (laughing) Good. We\u2019ll send you a case. (laughing) No! Noo, I\u2019m teasing. Our tea does not cause diabetes. That\u2019s a popular misconception about sugar. Sugar doesn\u2019t cause anything. We\u2019ll send you a case of raspberry tea, an engraved iPad, and a copy, paperback copy of &#8220;Army of One.&#8221; You can read, right?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh-ho, yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m sure. Okay, good. Your lucky day, Richard.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I tell you, I might pull off the road here because I don\u2019t want to lose my connection.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, don\u2019t lose it. Okay, pull off the road and stop, Snerdley will be here with you in just a moment. Folks, it just goes to show you. It just goes to show you. I don\u2019t know what it goes to show you, but it just goes to show you. Obama did say that to Wall Street bankers January 30th of 2009, 29th or 30th. That\u2019s a time for profit but not now. How about that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Obama.  Okay, this is January 29, 2009.  This is what I didn\u2019t know until a guy from Houston told me today.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses.  Now is not that time.  And that\u2019s a message that I intend to send directly to them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That was Obomber, as the Brits say, Obomber, at the Oval Office with tax cheat Tim Geithner, January 29, 2009.  Time for profit, but not now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Richard in Houston, as we go back to the phones, great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.
