RUSH: All right, audio sound bite time, Robert Gibbs, this morning, White House press briefing, unidentified reporter. Now, get this question. It\u2019s a butt boy question. ‘The Republicans are criticizing the White House for engaging in the Rush Limbaugh issue. You and the president have used the term ‘cable chatter\u2019 a lot. You guys have kind of decided that you\u2019ve also said — I\u2019ve heard administration officials derided sort of superficial food fight political reporting, but you\u2019ve repeatedly engaged in the podium with CNBC reporters as well as Rush Limbaugh, seems to feed that process that you\u2019re criticizing…\u2019 It\u2019s actually not a butt boy question. I take it back. I misread it when I read so hurriedly. ‘It seems that you guys are a little hypocritical, Mr. Gibbs. You decry what you are encouraging.\u2019<\/p>\n

GIBBS: It may be counterproductive. (snickering) I\u2019ll give you that. <\/p>\n

PRESS POOL: (laughter)<\/p>\n

GIBBS: Look, are there days in which I just turn my television off? Yes. (nervous cackling) I wish I had a radio. I don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

WOMAN: HA! HA! HA!<\/p>\n

GIBBS: Maybe I should just hook my iPod up. Look, there — there are days in which, yeah, y-y-y-you — your head throbs from listening to arguments that aren\u2019t necessarily centered on d-delving into some important issue but founding two people at completely opposite ends of the spectrum to yell loudest in a seven-minute segment before we go on to something else.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What? What I gather from that is that Mr. Gibbs doesn\u2019t have a radio. We can do something about that. We ought to buy Mr. Gibbs a radio and send it up there — again, not using taxpayer money. I\u2019m sure my Washington affiliate — the giant AM 630 WMAL — would be happy to assist me in getting a radio to the White House press secretary. Perhaps at the next press briefing somebody at WMAL could arrange for one of the reporters in the press briefing to actually present the radio to Robert Gibbs so he would have one. By the way, folks, I need to ask a question real quick. We just did the story here on the victims in the Obama War on Capitalism. Private sector jobs fell 697,000. What we\u2019re not being told is how many jobs were ‘saved.\u2019 The president promised to ‘create or save\u2019 three and a half to four million jobs, but I haven\u2019t seen the ‘saved job\u2019 figures. Has anybody seen the ‘saved job\u2019 figures? I\u2019ve not seen that report, and if somebody has that data — maybe they\u2019re still working on that bureaucracy at the Labor Department — I\u2019d like to see the data on saved jobs. The unidentified reporter, by the way, answered Gibbs with this. ‘Shouldn\u2019t the White House lead the way in elevating the discourse?\u2019<\/p>\n

GIBBS: I won\u2019t kick the cable people out of the briefing room. I\u2019m certainly opposed to doing something as radical as a — as an idea as that. Look, it\u2019s out there, we deal with it, I don\u2019t — I certainly criticize it and I even occasionally watch it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re asking about cable TV (laughing) when in fact Rahm Emanuel and his merry band are targeting with an inside the White House operation — a plumbers operation — targeting me, an average citizen. Yes, a public figure, but not an elected figure. Targeting me and making me the leader of their opposition. And Gibbs says, ‘Ah, I can\u2019t kick the cable guys outta here,\u2019 taking no blame for any of the partisanship that exists within our culture. All right, back to the phones. We\u2019re going to go to Hartford, Connecticut. This is Ferris. I\u2019m glad you waited. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we are certainly all Joe the Plumber, but no one more than yourself. I\u2019m sitting here hammering away at my computer with your noise in the background, trying to make a dollar out of the 99 cents as are many people who are still productively working. And, oh, by the way, I do have the saved job figures. It\u2019s a percentage. It\u2019s 110% of all public, government sector jobs have been saved. Just as a sign.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There aren\u2019t any layoffs and nobody is getting fired in the government. You\u2019re absolutely right. I hadn\u2019t thought of that. I shoulda thought of that myself. All these government jobs are indeed being saved.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we who are about to die salute you. ‘Nos Morituri Te Salutamus\u2019 is what the gladiators used to say, but we say it for a different reason, and I\u2019m sitting here working away and thinking, ‘Somebody has to express gratitude for what you\u2019ve done,\u2019 and what I say for what you\u2019ve done, nobody can understand the breadth of that, comparatively speaking. Very few people would know what it takes for a man to bring himself to the point you\u2019ve brought yourself, and to rise to the level, to be able to be the leading voice —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — for the opposition —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that\u2019s coming from the far, far, far left.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019m sure I speak for all my brothers, including my friend Cameron in Allison Park.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t forget sisters.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think we must forget the sisters because, I\u2019m going back to the days before we had women in combat, and the kind of combat that we\u2019re facing now, I have more respect for the ladies than to ask them to step up and follow people who lead like you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But they want to, and many of them are. You can\u2019t leave \u2019em outta there. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I did. <\/p>\n

RUSH: There is —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just did, though.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know. but you can\u2019t. I\u2019m begging you. I\u2019m asking you not to leave the ladies out here. They fully understand what is going on here, just as you do. Look, I really appreciate what you\u2019re saying. I don\u2019t quite know how to respond to it, other than say thank you, but I really… I know you\u2019ve thought about it, and you do understand what you mean and I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019d like to say thank you very much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re welcome. I appreciate it. I\u2019d love to expand further, but this isn\u2019t really about me. Thanks very much. I appreciate it, Ferris. John in Wilmington, North Carolina. You\u2019re on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: What I discussed with Mr. Snerdley, my call was the Democrats are giving you a great opportunity here in the fact that they have so much mainstreamed you in the media, and I can cite my wife as an example. She\u2019s probably one of the most outrageous liberals that walk the face of the earth. (chuckles) How we got along is strange, but anyway, we do. The point being that now she\u2019s actually paying attention to what you say; and for years she used to criticize me for even paying attention to you at all. So I think the Democrats have jumped the shark a bit here because I think they\u2019ve run out of options and they\u2019re afraid of you. If they weren\u2019t afraid of you, they would just totally not even mention you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, here\u2019s the thing. If you read the Politico story, you find out that all this is being done on the basis of polls, that they went out — Greenberg, who was also part of the flunky team of Carville and Begala, went out — and did a poll of Republicans, and they found I had the highest negatives, even though I\u2019m not in politics.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They said, ‘A-ha! Limbaugh is the guy.\u2019 Now, Carville tried to caution Bill Clinton not to do this back in the nineties, which is why it\u2019s Emanuel running the show. This actually goes against James Carville\u2019s instincts. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So they\u2019re putting me up there. They\u2019re totally focused on polling data. I don\u2019t deal in polls. I deal in principle. And they have expanded my reach and given me a bigger shot at changing people\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You gotta hear this \u2019cause it dovetails in a way with the Politico story today about how Obama\u2019s minions — well, his capo de capo consigliere, Rahm Emanuel, and the minions, Paul Begala, James Carville, made a project to elevate me to the leadership of the Republican Party last fall and then to begin targeting me from the White House, using leaks to butt boy media like Politico and columnists. It\u2019s working like a charm as far as they\u2019re concerned. So this morning on Morning Joe, the show hosted by Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski on PMSNBC, they talked to Lesley Stahl of CBS\u2019 60 Minutes and here was Mika\u2019s question. ‘I want to ask you what your take-away is of this whole Rush Limbaugh thing, and also the White House getting in on the conversation and then engaging TV hosts, that would be Santelli and Jim Cramer, certainly a departure from the White House we\u2019ve covered in the past. You\u2019ve covered in the White House. I wonder what you think in terms of your historical perspective, but also tactically.\u2019<\/p>\n

STAHL: What we\u2019re looking at is a little bit of a cross between Reagan and how that White House operated, the good Reagan, first term, that was successful, and Clinton, because they\u2019re taking from Clinton I think the war room approach, the sunniness aspect of Reagan. He never really attacked with anger, and there\u2019s a lot of humor in what the White House is doing.<\/p>\n

BRZEZINSKI: Yeah.<\/p>\n

STAHL: It\u2019s kind of velvety and molasses really than the hard hit, and letting the Republicans hit back hard. We talked about the no-drama Obama. I really do think that the watchword right there is no anger.<\/p>\n

MAN: Right. <\/p>\n

STAHL: And Reagan\u2019s personality was so appealing for that reason.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so what we have here is White House velvet and molasses in their take-downs of Santelli, Rick Santelli, CNBC, Jim Cramer at CNBC, and of course yours truly, El Rushbo, the new leader anointed by them. ‘It\u2019s like Clinton, taking from Clinton in the war room.\u2019 They\u2019re not taking from Clinton. It is Clinton\u2019s war room. It\u2019s Rahm Emanuel, James Carville, Paul Begala, and Stephanopoulos over at ABC. It is the Clinton war room. I don\u2019t remember, by the way, her references here to Reagan and how the White House operated. I distinctly remember both terms of Reagan he was despised. The media was as disrespectful of him in press conferences as they were of George Bush, and they thought the same thing of Reagan. They thought he was a dunce. They thought he was an idiot and they were always trying to trip him up, but he did remain sunny, he did smile all the while, and I guess that is why Lesley Stahl thinks that he won because he was really vicious, he was vicious, and Reagan was mean, but he did it with a smile. It was the other way around. <\/p>\n

But now contrast this not to Reagan, but Nixon. If this were Richard Nixon doing this, Mika, if you ever get Lesley Stahl back, what you need to do is ask her the same question, but ask her to go back beyond Reagan and ask her how this measures up with Richard Nixon and say his enemies list, and then ask her what she thinks of going after private citizens like this. Mika, this is a huge, huge evolution in the Drive-By Media. In the seventies when you had an administration — now, admittedly it was already the enemy, it was a Republican administration — but when that enemies list was discovered, there was outrage, and it was part and parcel of the media support for impeachment once the Watergate stuff hit. There was some jealousy among those not on the list. But still, it was thought to be horrible, it was rotten, it was just terrible, why this is unbecoming of the president. They called it un-American, or it was not in America\u2019s best interests or what have you. So what you need to do is get her back on there and ask her to compare what this administration is doing with what Nixon did. That would be the more interesting answer from Lesley Stahl. I can\u2019t have her on, Mika. I have to keep this show open for if Obama accepts my offer to debate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Frank in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, nice to have you with us, sir, on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, mega dittos, sir. You are a national treasure. You have frustrated the Drive-By Media so much that they have now become the kamikaze media, Rush. They\u2019re throwing everything at you! They don\u2019t care about the integrity, the credentials. They\u2019re just trying to hit you with anything and everything. Rush, you, sir, are one of the best entertainers, a radio talk show host extraordinaire. You are not the elected leader of the free world. They anointed you as such. Rush, I\u2019m very happy for your success and I\u2019m happy that they are so frustrated that they have picked you as a target and not the socialist agenda of Obama or the fact that… I\u2019m a school director here in Pennsylvania. Obama says he\u2019s going to get additional funds for school teachers? Rush, in Pennsylvania the taxpayer could be dead on the side of the road, they would never help a teacher. There is no problem with funding teachers in Pennsylvania. The media has to point this out. It can\u2019t be cart blanche, ‘Rush Limbaugh is no good, Obama bad.\u2019 I\u2019m just very happy for you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Folks, let me be serious about this. I don\u2019t know how to address these compliments other than to say, thank you. I really don\u2019t. I\u2019ve got so many people who are worried about me, and I hear from them when I get home at night, and they ask, ‘Are you okay? How are you bearing up under all this? I understand, they may be using your name, but it\u2019s not just you they\u2019re going after. We\u2019re going to be there for you,\u2019 and so forth. I appreciate all that. I really do. But, you know, when I\u2019ve talked about work over the course of the years I\u2019ve hosted this program, when I\u2019ve talked about how lucky I was to learn at age eight, if not earlier, what I wanted to do — that\u2019s so important to success. It\u2019s actually finding out what you love and then being able to do it, do it the best you can.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s success. So I\u2019ve been doing this all of my life. And I have — ever since I started hosting talk shows, I have — been subject to criticism and attack. Now I\u2019ve got the people saying, ‘Can\u2019t you sue them for what they\u2019re saying about you.\u2019 No, you can\u2019t. It\u2019s just the territory. It comes with it. What I tried to do is slap it right back at them and have fun with it. Frankly, folks, I don\u2019t want you to worry. I\u2019m enjoying this. I am. I\u2019m enjoying it. I was made for this. I was built for this. Let me expand on this work business. I admit if this were happening my first year behind this microphone, I would probably be a little panicked and I\u2019d be backing off and I\u2019m sure my broadcast partners would say, ‘Ooooh, maybe gotta back away here, a little bit too out front there,\u2019 blah, blah. <\/p>\n

But I am at a point where destiny has taken me, and the experiences that I\u2019ve had leading up to it have prepared me for this. I\u2019m made for this. I was built for this. I\u2019m doing what I was born to do — and don\u2019t worry. Without my enunciating it, \u2019cause, you know, magicians don\u2019t give away the tricks, but I have not lost focus of who I am and what I do, and that is my focus. (interruption) What? (interruption) Snerdley is so itching to say something, and you\u2019re distracting me. What? (interruption) All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. (sigh) Snerdley says, ‘This is different than anything that you have been in. This is the full force of the government coming at you. This is the full force of the president coming at you in the open, right out in the open, with the media proudly leaking the story of the operation.\u2019 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not really the first time. This is my point. Don\u2019t forget Clinton telling a racist joke about me in front of 1,200 media people in Washington. Don\u2019t forget Bill Clinton tried to blame me for the Oklahoma City bombing. Don\u2019t forget that Clinton tried to get our radio station in St. Louis to button down on me when he called them from Air Force One, when he was going in to dedicate some train station or something in St. Louis. Of course, if you watch cable TV, I\u2019m mentioned and attacked and mischaracterized all the time. To me it\u2019s not that big a step up from what I\u2019ve been going through. So it\u2019s not impacting me the way it is people who are close to me. They think it\u2019s far more serious than I do. I think it\u2019s serious, but I think it\u2019s a teachable moment. <\/p>\n

<\/a>I think it\u2019s a learning opportunity for a lot of people. This is the Obama government in action. And also, here\u2019s the bottom line. That CPAC speech<\/a>, when I accepted that, I said, ‘Okay, I\u2019ll come and do it.\u2019 I did it only because they\u2019ve asked me for ten years and I haven\u2019t gone. Okay, I\u2019ll do it. That CPAC speech has had more far-reach, deep impact than anybody will ever admit. That CPAC speech is largely why they\u2019re ramping up all this stuff at the White House. I know that. The White House is presenting me an opportunity to branch out beyond the confines of my normal format, radio, and at least get to the minds and hearts of Americans who normally aren\u2019t here. So to me it\u2019s an opportunity. I thank all of you for your support and kind words. I really do. I just don\u2019t know what more to say than that, and I feel like I should, so this is it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
