This morning at a Capitol Hill press conference Dingy Harry and Chris Dodd &#8212; these guys make me sick &#8212; these guys make me physically angry watching them. They insult my intelligence. <\/p>\n<p>Dawn asked me today about a half hour before the program, &#8216;You think Chris Dodd\u2019s having trouble sleeping at night?\u2019 &#8216;Why?\u2019 &#8216;Well, because he\u2019s so involved in this.\u2019 I said, &#8216;No. Chris Dodd knows nothing\u2019s going to happen to him, and Barney Frank knows nothing\u2019s going to happen to him.\u2019 Nobody\u2019s going to investigate them, and their voters are not going to throw \u2019em out of office. They\u2019re not worried. These guys are the most arrogant, condescending people you\u2019d ever want to run into. Dodd reminds me of a slick snake oil salesman. Dingy Harry is just a mean, bitter little man, and Barney Frank is just Barney Frank. I mean he\u2019s one of the most outrageous partisans, socialists to come down the pike. That\u2019s who they are. So here, listen to Dingy Harry today, portion of his remarks at the press conference.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"335\" class=\"alignright\"\/>REID: The insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful. I repeat. The insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful. It\u2019s been harmful. A few days ago I called on Senator McCain to take a stand, let us know where he stands on the issue, on this bailout. But all he has done is stand in front of the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a second, Senator Reid. These guys want it both ways. You can\u2019t have him here, it\u2019s the insertion of presidential politics, yet you want him to take a stand on it. But that phrase, &#8216;the insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful, I repeat, the insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful,\u2019 that\u2019s at McCain. It\u2019s not aimed at Bush, certainly not aimed at Obama. It is aimed at McCain. These are his buddies, by the way. I want to point out these are his precious Democrat friends on the other side of the aisle in the United States Senate who are trying to wipe him out. Dingy Harry continued.<\/p>\n<p>REID: We have Senator Bennett, who is a high-ranking Republican senator, standing before all of you saying we\u2019ve got a deal in principle. All we have to do is put it down in writing and this &#8212; this is almost over with. And then, guess who came to town? And that completely fell apart. The vehicle came off the tracks. Now, the Republican House has to decide what they want to do. Are they serious about one of the issues that has to be taken care of, is lowering the capital gains tax? Is that part of what this is all about? They\u2019re going to have to become realistic.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So, you see, ridicule conservatism, ridicule the concept of lower taxes on capital gains that spur investment, ridicule that, make fun of that, you guys in the House, Republicans, you gotta get serious. You really think that\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about here? Trying to shame \u2019em, ridicule them, they\u2019d love for them to give that one up, folks. Sherrod Brown just said what you heard Dingy Harry say. Sherrod Brown just said it this morning. &#8216;The thing came off the tracks. Guess who came to town? And it completely fell apart.\u2019 Well, Obama came to town, too. And the fact of the matter is, Senator Reid &#8212; and you all know it &#8212; what fell apart was the White House meeting because of Barack Obama\u2019s incompetence and inability to conduct one. Stop and think of this, now. The president\u2019s in there, he\u2019s trying to do this negotiation, and the Democrats all defer to Obama. They\u2019re going to make him their representative in there, all to set him up to establish his aura. <\/p>\n<p>I guarantee you, if this meeting would have gone differently, you know what the spin after the meeting would have been? And Paulson would have not told anybody not to say anything. The spin would have been, &#8216;You shoulda seen Obama, I have never seen anybody command a meeting like he did. He walked in there, had command of the issues, and he pointed at everybody and he said you do this and you do this, and you do this and take care of that and we\u2019ll get it done.\u2019 That\u2019s what they were hoping for, that\u2019s what they wanted. They wanted a myth that Barack Obama came in there and took over the White House and was acting as president to get this done. Except one thing happened: He didn\u2019t know what to do without the prompter. They forgot to send in the teleprompter. So it went off the rails. If it went off the rails, Senator Reid, it was your boy, it was your guy, it was your candidate, Barack Obama, who took it off the rails. Now, here\u2019s Dingy Harry admitting most Americans don\u2019t like it but that that doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>REID: Is this pleasant work? No, it\u2019s not pleasant work. Look what\u2019s happening with the calls coming into our offices and the e-mails. People are very unhappy with what we\u2019re doing, but we believe we have an obligation to the country and that is Wall Street and Main Street.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, isn\u2019t it interesting, when you don\u2019t like the Dubai Ports deal, they listen to you, when you don\u2019t like immigration, they got the message. You don\u2019t like this, screw you. You are Main Street, you\u2019re Main Street, you\u2019re letting them know you don\u2019t like it, as you have heard about it, and yet they\u2019re going to do it anyway. That ought to tell you something, too. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Harry Reid. We\u2019re up to sound bite seven here. I want to get where you remember here on Senator Reed, because I just had just a brilliant memory flash. I\u2019m embarrassed that I had forgotten this. Here\u2019s Dingy Harry speaking to the press about the meeting. This is his version of what happened at the White House meeting.<\/p>\n<p>REID: I would, um, suggest that anyone in that meeting that tried to understand what John McCain said at the meeting couldn\u2019t. He was the last person to speak at the meeting, talked for a couple of minutes, and, um, really didn\u2019t say anything substantive.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t know how somebody does this. How do you go out and do it when you know the exact opposite happened. Well, that may have happened. Who knows? McCain may not have made any sense, I don\u2019t know. But how do you go out there knowing full well that your plan backfired totally, that your effort to make Obama take over that meeting and look presidential, to come out and spin it as, &#8216;We don\u2019t even need Bush! We can just put Obama in there now. He was magnificent. He was brilliant! He took over this meeting. He made it sing.\u2019 That\u2019s what they wanted to say. Now, is this Harry Reid who said he doesn\u2019t want McCain anywhere near this, get outta town? &#8216;McCain came in here, screwed it up, took it off the rails, the insertion of presidential politics.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the memory flash. Wasn\u2019t it Harry Reid, the same Harry Reid who said last week, &#8216;We don\u2019t know what to do. We don\u2019t have any idea. We don\u2019t know what to do.\u2019 I don\u2019t even know if we had that sound bite last week, but I know he said it. &#8216;We don\u2019t know what to do.\u2019 It was that sound bite that led me to say, &#8216;These guys are going to leave town without doing anything.\u2019 You remember I started saying, &#8216;These guys are going to split the seen without doing anything.\u2019 They weren\u2019t, but they wanted no part of this back then. &#8216;We don\u2019t even know what to do. Nobody knows what to do.\u2019 Less than a week later they have all the answers but only if the Republicans will sign on? This stinks, and I am focusing on the politics of this instead of the substance because nobody knows what the substance is going to be yet, folks. Nobody knows, because the politics is in it. <\/p>\n<p>Frankly, it\u2019s what interests me. It\u2019s what\u2019s instructive. It is what\u2019s the most informative about this right now. We have the Democrat Party\u2019s presidential candidate &#8212; this magnificent man, this man who has graced us with his birth and his presence, this man, the likes of which we have never seen trod the soil of the American political turf &#8212; can\u2019t chair a meeting without it falling apart. The great unifier, ladies and gentlemen! The great unifier screwed it up. No wonder he really didn\u2019t want to be involved in all this because it would be easier for him to be able to say he had no idea that ACORN, his community agitator group, was getting all that money. On here is Sherrod Brown this afternoon, Fox News Live, Jane Skinner talking to him. She said to Senator from Ohio, &#8216;How we going to reconcile this if something isn\u2019t done? The White House just said the Treasury Secretary thinks at the start of business Monday, by the opening bell Monday, we need to have something.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" class=\"alignright\"\/>BROWN: Before Senator McCain went to the White House, um, there was general agreement among, uh, Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats, House Dems on &#8212; on broad outlines of the panel, not unanimous, I\u2019m not there yesterday because of &#8212; because of several things, but generally broad consequences, and the House Republicans and Senator McCain kind of blew it up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, isn\u2019t he saying there wasn\u2019t a deal then? He\u2019s admitting essentially. He slips up. There really wasn\u2019t a deal, and he wasn\u2019t even signed on to it. &#8216;Admittedly I\u2019m not there yet,\u2019 and then he dumps on the House Republicans and McCain. Folks, the politics of this is what\u2019s instructive. The politics of this is what is informative. Sadly as well the politics of this is what is just infuriating and maddening. It\u2019s very seldom that I say, &#8216;TGIF: I\u2019m glad it\u2019s Friday,\u2019 but I need a break from this garbage. My skull is about to blow up. I\u2019m that angry over what the Democrat Party is doing &#8212; and there\u2019s a lot to be mad at them about, and it\u2019s cumulative. You ask, &#8216;Well, if this bothers you, how come&#8230;?\u2019 It all bothers me and it\u2019s just a cumulative effect. I hate criminals getting away with it. I hate liars getting away with it. I hate the people who destroy institutions getting away with it, and then being put in charge to &#8216;fix\u2019 them, which would only screw \u2019em up more. I hate that. I cannot stand that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Harry Reid nine days ago&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>REID: No one knows what to do. We are in new territory here.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So we just played a series of Harry Reid sound bites. By the way, I just had a friend send me a ten-minute YouTube video. I don\u2019t have time to watch a ten-minute YouTube video, of course. But apparently it\u2019s a joint press conference between Reid and Chris Countrywide Dodd, and Reid just loses it. He says things like, &#8216;Get drunk and vote for McCain,\u2019 and some such things. I\u2019ve gotta send this up to Cookie so she can start parsing this thing. But regardless, I listened to Harry Reid just lie through his teeth. Here\u2019s a guy, they go to the White House meeting yesterday; he comes out and lies about what happens in there. What happened in that meeting was the Democrats arranged for Obama to chair the thing on their behalf, and he blew it up with his incompetence and his inability, and he has admitted as such.<\/p>\n<p>If you know what went on in there and if you listen to his sound bites later in the night, then you know that he knows he blew it up in there. He caused the whole thing to fall apart. The great unifier, the great Messiah, the great community organizer, couldn\u2019t organize diddly-squat in the cabinet room yesterday. It fell totally apart, and he ends up admitting it. &#8216;You know, sometimes I work better on the phone, talking to the principals from afar. I think we\u2019ve learned from the insertion of presidential politics.\u2019 Meanwhile, Harry Reid is lying that McCain blew it up! I think Reid is unstable, is where I\u2019m headed here. I think Harry Reid is unstable, among all the other things that he is. Now, here\u2019s Harry Reid, &#8216;We got a deal. We don\u2019t need the president involved. We don\u2019t need anybody involved. We can handle this.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>This is September 26th. On September 17th, Bloomberg News reported (this is nine days ago): &#8216;US Congress is unlikely to pass new legislation to overall financial regulations this year because, &#8216;No one knows what to do,\u2019 said Senate majority leader Harry Reid. &#8216;We are in new territory. This is a different game,\u2019 he said in a briefing in Washington. He said neither Ben Bernanke nor Henry Paulson, the Treasury Secretary, know what to do, but they\u2019re trying to come up with ideas.\u2019 So nine days ago, nobody knew what to do. Today, they say yesterday supposedly they had a deal that the Republicans in the House don\u2019t want to sign on to. I don\u2019t want to repeat the whole first hour, but it really is crucial. The House Republicans, God bless them. If this deal is so wonderful, the Democrats had the votes to pass it on their own and leave the Republicans out of getting any credit for it.<\/p>\n<p>But they want Republicans on this bill. They want their votes \u2019cause they want \u2019em on the hook. The Democrats don\u2019t want to be on the hook alone for this. They want the Republicans there. They want the Republicans to cave on their conservative principles; they want the Republicans to cave on their conservative ideas. This is all politics. Whatever you\u2019ve been told about the imminent danger, &#8216;If we didn\u2019t get a deal by today, why, we\u2019re headed for depression! Why, we\u2019re headed for recession! Why, if we don\u2019t get this done, we\u2019re going to be in big, big trouble! Oh, it\u2019s going to be horrible out there the banks aren\u2019t going to be able to loan any money,\u2019 and, by the way, how about Washington Mutual? The feds just walked in and seized it under cover of darkness and sold the assets to J.P. Morgan, and in Seattle they were upset. They were a banking center until today and now Washington Mutual is just another branch office of J.P. Morgan. They went in there and they took over. Well, the bank was failing, their assets. There\u2019s been a slow but quiet run on that bank for a long time. So that bank\u2019s gone under. Penny Pritzker ran a bank in 2001. Obama\u2019s chief economic advisor, Penny Pritzker of the Hyatt hotel fortune, ran a bank that just went under. It failed miserably big time. I have the details coming up here. She\u2019s one of Obama\u2019s fundraisers and financial advisors. Here is Harry Reid nine days ago on the Senate floor. He was asked what new regulatory actions Congress can take to help this problem, and he said&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>REID: No one knows what to do. We are in new territory here.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8216;Nobody knows what to do. We are in new territory,\u2019 nine days ago, Harry Reid. The viciousness and the attempt to position this as a failure today because of John McCain continued on the Senate floor. Senator Charles Schumer of New York.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.45430.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" class=\"alignright\"\/>SCHUMER: We need the president to respectfully tell Senator McCain to get outta town. He is not helping. He is harming. Before McCain made his announcement, we were making great progress. Now, after his announcement, we are behind the eight ball. Get the House Republicans to be more constructive, get Senator McCain to leave town and not throw fire on these flames.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: These are his best friends, the Democrats in the Senate, dumping all over Senator McCain, lying through their teeth at the same time. Don\u2019t forget it was Treasury Secretary Paulson that asked Grahamnesty to call McCain and say, &#8216;Get back here. We need you here to help with the House Republicans,\u2019 and to his credit, McCain didn\u2019t go in and make \u2019em sell out. McCain did not go to the House Republicans, he didn\u2019t go to Boehner and say, &#8216;Look, my campaign is at stake here. You can really make me look like the winner here,\u2019 apparently. I don\u2019t know if he tried it, but if he did, it didn\u2019t work, but I don\u2019t think he did. I don\u2019t think he made that effort. You think this is about a bailout now? You think this is about some rescue? You think these quotes from Schumer and Harry Reid are about anything to do with your mortgage or your bank? Listen to Schumer again. You tell me if you think this is really about a financial crisis in the country today.<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: We need the president to respectfully tell Senator McCain to get outta town. He is not helping. He is harming. Before McCain made his announcement, we were making great progress.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, you weren\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: Now, after his announcement, we are behind the eight ball.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You always have been!<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: Get the House Republicans to be more constructive.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He means &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: Get Senator McCain to leave town and not throw fire on these flames. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. And Claire McCaskill from Missouri got into the act, too, on MSNBC Live this morning. The question: &#8216;Do you share President Bush\u2019s optimism that you\u2019re going to be able to reach a deal?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>MCCASKILL: Well, frankly, we had a deal until John McCain came to town to play politics. We had it done, and then John McCain came in and, frankly, it blew up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So the talking points have gone out among the Democrat conference and the Senate. They\u2019re lying through their teeth. There was never a deal. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, admitted that. He slipped up this morning, but he admitted that there wasn\u2019t a deal, and he admitted that he wasn\u2019t even part of the deal. Here, grab sound bite number 30. Sherrod Brown, the Democrat Senator from Ohio, slips here and admits that there wasn\u2019t any kind of a deal.<\/p>\n<p>BROWN: Before Senator McCain went to the White House, um, there was general agreement among, um, Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats, House Democrats, on a broad outline to a package. Not unanimous. I mean I\u2019m &#8212; I\u2019m not there because of several things, but genuinely broad consensus, and the House Republicans and Senator McCain kind of blew it up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He went off the talking points. You know, he needs a prompter, too. He said, &#8216;Well, wait a minute, it wasn\u2019t unanimous. I\u2019m not there yet myself.\u2019 Well, then how can you say you got a deal if you weren\u2019t there, Sherrod? How can you say that you have a deal? Back to Claire McCaskill, question from the anchorette. &#8216;We spoke earlier with congresswoman Heather Wilson, who said that the Democrats have the votes to get this through the House, so if that\u2019s the case, why not just push it on through?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>MCCASKILL: The markets and the world need to see that our government has come together to do the right thing, not for these jerks on Wall Street, but rather for the people we represent, for the essence of our financial institutions and how they impact the people in Missouri that need a loan &#8212; a student loan, a small business loan. And &#8212; and it\u2019s not gonna work if we have this being about politics.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You just throw your hands up! (laughter) Now, she\u2019s a rookie senator. She\u2019s a rookie senator, but &#8216;the markets and the world need to see that our government\u2019s come together to do the right thing\u2019? So the markets, the world is waiting to see what the House Republicans do? So the onus is on the House Republicans! See, this is what they want to do. This is the pressure that they\u2019re trying to bring to bear. That\u2019s why I say, &#8216;God bless the House Republicans.\u2019 I hope they remember what happened to some of them in 2006 when they stopped acting like conservative Republicans. At any rate, ladies and gentlemen: What if, what if the House Republican plan is better? This is a question that no pundit raises. <\/p>\n<p>So obviously, as most of the time it is true, the truth falls to my shoulders. What if the Republican plan\u2019s actually the best plan? What if the House Republican plan is best for the taxpayers? What if the House Republican plan is best for the free market working? What if the Republican plan is best for the economy? The news reports are so busy building up the Democrats and tearing down the Republicans that they don\u2019t dare ask themselves. So I will. What if the Republican plan\u2019s the one to do? What if the Republican plan is the best plan? <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Woodbury, Minnesota, this is Lind. Linda, thank you for calling. Thanks for waiting. You\u2019re up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.44878.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>CALLER: Hey, Rush, I\u2019m so happy to talk to you. I have never been so angry in my entire life after watching that press conference. I didn\u2019t even know I was capable of being so mad. He had the audacity, Reid, to stand up there and whine about the insertion of presidential politics by McCain, when I believe that entire press conference was an insertion of presidential politics and to prop up Obama. And did you hear him say, this is &#8212; I\u2019m quoting &#8212; &#8216;Senate Democrats, House Democrats, and Senate Republicans agree those principles laid out by Senator Obama are the ones that must be implanted with regards to the issue.\u2019 How dare he!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They\u2019re trying to prop up a little man-child. They\u2019re trying to prop up their presidential candidate. Their presidential candidate is the one who blew up the White House meeting with his inability to run it. I\u2019ll tell you this. How is it not the insertion of presidential politics when the Democrats try to engineer the White House meeting so that it becomes Obama\u2019s meeting?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely. And they\u2019re trying to give him credit for what they were agreeing on, and McCain for wrecking the whole deal. And that entire press conference was presidential politics played on the part of the Democrats, and I\u2019m sick of it, and I sent him an e-mail and told him he was a despicable human being.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I\u2019m proud of you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I am proud of myself, too.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me say, I understand your rage, I understand, you\u2019re just infuriated. We\u2019re rational people trying to understand irrational, demented, unstable partisan political hacks.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. And he is the greatest of them all, Harry Reid, and all he does is whine, and his whole press conference was called for that sole purpose. They gave us no other information.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, that whole press conference was called to cover up for the fact, to spin the fact, that Obama blew up and destroyed the White House meeting.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This morning at a press conference with Chris Countrywide Dodd, Dingy Harry said this.<\/p>\n<p>REID: The insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful. I repeat. The insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful. It\u2019s been harmful. A few days ago I called on Senator McCain to take a stand, let us know where he stands on the issue on this bailout. But all he has done is stand in front of the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. A few days ago I called on Senator McCain to take a stand, let us know where he stands on the issue on this bailout, but all he\u2019s done is stand in front of the cameras. He then continued.<\/p>\n<p>REID: We have Senator Bennett, who is a high-ranking Republican senator, standing before all of you saying we\u2019ve got a deal in principle.

Now, the Republican House has to decide what they want to do. Are they serious about one of the issues that has to be taken care of, is lowering the capital gains tax? Is that part of what this is all about? They\u2019re going to have to become realistic.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. All we have to do is put it down in writing and it\u2019s almost over with. Then guess who came to town and it completely fell apart? Guess who came to town and it completely fell apart? Senator McCain. Chuck Schumer carried the same theme this morning on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: We need the president to respectfully tell Senator McCain to get out of town.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Stop the tape.<\/p>\n<p>SCHUMER: He\u2019s not helping.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Harry Reid said earlier this week, &#8216;We need the Republican nominee for president to let us know where he stands.\u2019 Today they\u2019re saying get out of town, you blew it up, get outta town, you blew this thing up.
