The Pulse of Revolution Has Begun
February 19, 2009

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Could it be, ladies and gentlemen, could it be the pulse of revolution began today? Perhaps even yesterday in Mesa, Arizona. What is apparent to me, ladies and gentlemen, your loyal, devoted host, is that President Barack Obama cannot kill the spirit of America. It cannot be silenced. It’s great to be with you as we kick off another three hours of broadcast excellence from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. We are loaded today. And so let’s just get right to it. Obama spoke at Dobson High School in Mesa, Arizona. All the kids were kept in their classrooms. They got to watch it on closed-circuit TV. There is an advanced placement government class taught by a man named Jeff Sherrer, and a story here from Mesa Arizona News, the eastvalleytribune.com suggest that these students in Dobson High School weren’t buying any of what Obama had to say. This is a giant media mistake. How in the world this ever made it into print is beyond me, but it did, and now the nation is going to know about it.

Earlier this morning on CNBC reporter Rick Santelli reporting from the Chicago Board of Trade, I don’t even need to describe this for you. I’m just going to let you hear the audio sound bites. It was on the program Squawk Box. The coanchors Becky Quick and Joe Kernen, Carl Quintanilla talking with reporter Rick Santelli on the Chicago Board of Trade floor. Here is Santelli’s message for President Obama.

SANTELLI: The government is promoting bad behavior! How this, president and new administration, why didn’t you put up a website to have people vote on the Internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers’ mortgages or would we like to at least buy cars and buy houses in foreclosure and give ‘em to people that might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that could carry the water instead of drink the water. This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor’s mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can’t pay their bills? Raise their hand. (boos) President Obama, are you listening?

FLOOR TRADER: How about we all stop paying our mortgage? It’s a moral hazard.

RUSH: That’s CNBC this morning, Rick Santelli on the floor at the Chicago Board of Trade. Now, these are people with skin in the game. Obama said everybody’s gotta pay taxes ‘cause everybody’s gotta have some skin in the game. Well, this is talking truth to welfare. This is talking truth to immorality. The market votes every day and it is speaking every day by going down. This is a huge chord. This is what Americans are thinking. This is reality. This is the pulse of revolution starting today. Here is more.

SANTELLI: Cuba used to have mansions and a relatively decent economy. They moved from the individual to the collective. Now they’re driving ‘54 Chevys, may be the last great car to come out of Detroit. We’re thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July. All you capitalists that want to show up at Lake Michigan, I’m going to start organizing.

QUICK: What are you dumping in — what are you dumping in this time?

SANTELLI: I’m gonna be dumping in some derivative securities.

RUSH: Finally, Mr. Santelli explains how the silent majority agrees that government cannot do away with the business cycle.

SANTELLI: There’s only about 5% of the floor population here right now, and I talk loud enough they could all hear me. So if you want to ask them anything, let me know. These guys are pretty straightforward and, my guess is, a pretty good statistical cross section of America, the silent majority. They’re pretty much of the notion that you can’t buy your way into prosperity, and if the multiplier that all of these Washington economists are selling us is over one, that we never have to worry about the economy again, the government should spend a trillion dollars an hour because we’ll get $1.5 trillion back. I’ll tell you what, if you read our Founding Fathers, people like Benjamin Franklin and Jefferson, what we’re doing in this country now, is making them roll over in their graves.

RUSH: This is Rick Santelli, reporter at CNBC, not a commentator. He is a reporter at CNBC on the board at the Chicago Board of Trade. And, as you can tell, there is tremendous upset over the mortgage bailout that was announced yesterday, subsidizing the losers, Obama picking the losers. So many things happened yesterday, Eric Holder’s speech in which he said that Americans are still cowards on race. The more I think about it, the more there is a giant chip on its shoulder throughout this entire administration, and probably some anger and a desire to get even with people that they think have wronged them over the years. It is a serious thing, of course. The idea that this would erupt in a market like this, where the traders were cheering, where the traders were whistling, where the traders were booing, this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reaction of people who have skin in the game. So the point of all this, aside from what you heard, is that you are not alone. When the pulse of revolution starts, it just takes an action like this to inspire confidence in others who want to show up.

Now, let’s go to Mesa, Arizona, the East Valley Tribune: “A Dobson High School Advanced Placement government class with strong opinions about Barack Obama watched the president’s speech Wednesday on a small, grainy TV in the corner of their classroom. Some of the students attentively watched the speech, giving questioning looks and comments, shaking their heads and laughing at some of Obama’s words. Other students listened, occasionally glancing up to watch, while texting on their cell phones, reading a book or finishing school work. The gymnasium’s events were shown simultaneously in rooms throughout the Mesa school, and teachers were given discretion on whether to show the speech, the students said. The students in the class were hopeful things will work out but questioned whether Obama’s plan would actually work—” these are high school students “—to dig the country out of its economic woes. They also expected a longer speech.

“Senior Syna Daudfar took some notes during the speech and was among the most vocally opposed to Obama’s words. At one point, when he talked about the costs of his stimulus plan, senior Maaike Albach and Daudfar looked at each other and said, ‘uh-oh.’ ‘Overall I think it’s a good idea, but he’s not addressing the issues of the economic crisis,’ said Daudfar, a John McCain supporter, ‘The spending bill he just passed is just progressing the Democratic agenda rather than addressing the economic issues in the country.’ Daudfar thinks Obama’s plan is backward and deals with the ‘less important stuff’ first. ‘Bailing out businesses’ and ‘providing better regulatory systems for giving out money to businesses’ should have been first, he said. ‘If businesses can’t afford to hire people, then people won’t be able to work and pay off their mortgages,’ he said. ‘It’s kind of like putting money into a funnel.’”

Now, these are students in an advanced placement government class at Dobson High School in Mesa. “Albach, who is also a Republican, said Obama’s plan sounds good but questioned how Obama can want to rely on ‘people’s responsibility’ when that is ‘what got us in this economic crisis in the first place.’ ‘This puts us more into debt,’ said Albach, 18. ‘It’s a horrible situation we’re in.’ Senior Brandon Miller wore a shirt with the words, ‘Hitler gave great speeches, too’ above a picture of Obama. Miller said he had been an Obama supporter ‘because of his speeches,’ but after debating the issues in this class and looking more into Obama’s policies, his vote was swayed toward McCain. He showed a video on his camera he had just taken of the president’s minute-long motorcade and talked about what a ‘great experience’ it was to watch it. Miller had also spent a couple of hours in front of the school, hanging out and watching the protesters. ‘Even though I don’t support him, I think it’s cool he’s here,’ said Miller, 18. ‘I just don’t believe all the things he’s telling us. His goal is just too big and broad.’

“The students also questioned why Obama chose their school for his speech since he wasn’t talking about education and wondered how much money the district spent on beautifying the campus while district positions and services are being cut. District officials noted this week that the landscaping project completed over the weekend at Dobson was already in the works and was just expedited by the president’s visit. Funding came from voter-approved bonds. New sod was laid in front of the school Tuesday, and Daudfar said, ‘The joke at the school is they’re going to take it away when he (Obama) leaves.’ AP government teacher Jeff Sherrer said his students ‘feel very strongly about the issues, maybe more than the general population.’ He thought at least one of his students was outside protesting, and he had planned to take his students outside as a class project to show them what was going on, but didn’t get the chance. ‘These kinds of kids really get into it,’ Sherrer said. ‘During the election we had lots of debates on the issues.’” This is an advanced placement class at Dobson High School, Mesa, Arizona.

Now, what this tells me is that there are scores of places around the country where this kind of sentiment, not just from Rick Santelli on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, but also at Dobson High School — (interruption) yes, there were protests. Yes, Snerdley, there were protests in Denver. They roasted a pig for all the pork. Oh yeah, there are protests. The Drive-By Media is not covering any of it. That is what’s stunning about this news from the Dobson High School advanced class actually making the East Valley Tribune, and then of course Rick Santelli at CNBC today. My point to you, ladies and gentlemen, is that there is a pulse of revolution starting today. This says so much about the media, too. They could find more of these doubters if they wanted to because they are all over the place. Contrary to what you may have been led to believe, the whole country is not a bunch of lemmings walking over the cliff behind Obama, who can fly. They are not in lockstep with the supreme leader. There’s a lot of doubt. There is a lot of anger.

You remember the guy that called from LaRoe’s Restaurant in Grand Rapids, Ohio? He sent me an e-mail last night. As of last night he said he had received hundreds of e-mails from people all over the country thanking him, agreeing with him. One of them was a vet from Florida who called to say, “Thanks for what you said on the Rush show today. I just want you to know that we in the military, that’s why we do what we do is to defend and protect the traditions that you practiced today on the Rush show and keep your restaurant going, that’s why we do it.” And Dave LaRoe said that his restaurant business is obviously up as a result of his phone call to the program, but what’s really touching him is these hundreds of e-mails he’s getting from people thanking him, congratulating him and letting him know that he’s not alone. This is the message. This is by no means being mass accepted. Don’t forget, 46% of those who voted, voted against this stuff, and I’m beginning to wonder now how many people that voted for it actually thought they were voting for this, because what is happening is outrageous.

This mortgage plan yesterday, Eric Holder in his speech yesterday calling this country still a nation of cowards on the issue of race, this country which has shed more blood than any nation on the history of the earth to wipe out slavery, racism, and discrimination against people of color around the world, it is an inexcusable statement, and yet there they are, the Drive-Bys are right there defending it and explaining what he meant by it. So the sides are clearly drawn. They have been for a long, long time. And it’s going to be a battle. We battle not just the Democrats and the liberals and President Obama; we also battle the media.

AP: “Fears are mounting about losing a job, not having enough money to pay the bills and evaporating retirement accounts, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday. Nearly half of those surveyed said they worry about becoming unemployed — almost double last year’s number. The poll also found that in the past month, public support has dipped slightly,” for the Porkulus package. “’I lost a job myself,’ said Edd Winkler, 40, a married attorney and father of two in Grand Rapids, Mich. ‘There were just too many attorneys for the amount of work we had coming in to the firm at that time.’ Winkler has opened his own practice, and says most of his work involves bankruptcies.” Now, how can this be true in the era of Obama? How can there be public stress, much less how can it be increasing, how can it be rising? This, ladies and gentlemen, is not possible. The entire country, I thought, has been swept up in Obama mania, and he has just spent all of our money fixing everything that Bush screwed up. Seriously, how can this be possible? How can there be rising public stress over the economy since Obama’s fixed it?

I’ll tell you one reason is because Obama hasn’t fixed it, and he’s telling everybody he hasn’t fixed it because he talks the economy down every day. Let me tell you what I think. Then we’ll go to the break. I think this goes beyond Alinsky. I think this goes beyond Rules for Radicals. I think this goes beyond pick the target, freeze it, isolate it, polarize it. I think what is happening here is the Obama administration, or Obama himself and his true circle of advisors, which are not in his cabinet, hope to so grossly expand the welfare state that it includes not just the poor and the working poor. They want you in the middle class in the welfare state. They want some of you in the upper middle class in the welfare state. He is devising legislation that protects, rewards irresponsibility, the losers. You are the ones paying for it. This lawyer lost his job. There are a lot of white-collar people losing their jobs. There are no jobs to be had.

The jobless numbers are skyrocketing. Inflation came out today. It’s way up, and it’s tiny. It’s just the tip of the iceberg of what’s happening. I told you this was around the pike, too. I think there is a desire to totally reorder and restructure American society with as large a warfare state as possible with an attempt to depress any hope of rising individual prosperity, more and more dependence on government. I have to take a break. Wait ‘til you hear what Barney Frank says about the mortgage industry. Do you know why you producers, those of you play by the rules still paying your mortgage even though you’re underwater, do you know why you’re going to have to bail out the losers and keep ‘em in their houses? To maintain the property tax base for government.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Samuel Adams said this, ladies and gentlemen: “It does not take a majority to prevail. What it takes is an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” What I really like about this is, he says we need to appeal to “the minds of men,” not their feelings, which is the Obama route. And I think we saw a brushfire ignited yesterday and today. Yesterday in Mesa, Arizona, at the Dobson High School... By the way, I should mention, this because it’s a follow-up on a previous story. As you know, I offered to go to that Green Bay, Wisconsin, middle school after they were so upset at my rolling commentary during Obama’s inauguration. Our great affiliate up there worked tirelessly with the school board.

Finally the school board says, “No way that Rush Limbaugh is going to get inside this middle school.” I ought to offer to go out to the Dobson High School in Mesa, Arizona, but I’m not officially doing that. Don’t anybody start working on that. I’m not officially doing that but I did want to clear up the detail here about Green Bay because a lot of people have been asking about it.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Barack Obama cannot kill the spirit of America. It cannot and is not being silenced. The pulse of revolution is underway. There were protests in Denver against Obama on Tuesday. Michelle Malkin and a friend of hers, some other people, led the protest. We’ll provide you a link at RushLimbaugh.com to show you pictures. There were lots of them there. You haven’t heard about it from the Drive-By Media. If three nincompoops showed up at a Bush rally, all we heard about was the protesters. Obama is being protested. He was protested in Mesa, Arizona, at Dobson High School where Obama’s event to sign the stupid mortgage bailout bill took place. Students, in an advanced placement class, laughed at what Obama was saying, disagreed profoundly with what Obama is saying, high school students. It was reported in a Mesa-area newspaper.

In a story from the Associated Press, I’m somewhat amazed that this made it to print: “The economic stimulus signed by President Barack Obama will spread billions of dollars across the country to spruce up aging roads and bridges. But there’s not a dime specifically dedicated to fixing leftover damage from Hurricane Katrina. And there’s no outrage about it. Democrats who routinely criticized President George W. Bush for not sending more money to the Gulf Coast appear to be giving Obama the benefit of the doubt in his first major spending initiative. Even the Gulf’s fiercest advocates say they’re happy with the stimulus package, and their states have enough money for now to address their needs.” Really, the states have enough money now, huh? They didn’t have enough money six months ago and they didn’t get a new dime since. Senator Mary Landrieu, Democrat, Louisiana, who has criticized Democrats and Republicans alike over Katrina funding, said, “I’m not saying there won’t be a need in the future. Right now the focus is not on more money.” That’s in the AP, folks. Obama doesn’t care about the Gulf coast. It’s probably because John Edwards announced his campaign there.

Speaking of John Edwards for just a brief moment, how would you like to be this guy? Not only has he blown up his marriage, not only did the word of his affair get out, but this whole two Americas business was his idea. John Edwards has gotta be sitting home in the mansion in North Carolina looking at this and crying in the milk that he drinks — sorry — primping his hairstyle, and saying, “This could have been me; this was supposed to be me. I’m the guy that’s supposed tear up this country. I’m the guy that’s supposed to go get the rich and make ‘em pay for the damage they’ve caused to this country.” If you missed the first hour, Mayor Bloomberg in New York now opposes an income tax increase on the wealthy in New York City and New York State.

He announced that of the eight million people who live in New York, 40,000 of them are paying 50% of the tax bite, 40,000 people. He’s worried about them leaving if there is a tax increase. They’re already paying through the nose. Forty thousand people essentially supporting half of what goes on in New York City. All it would take is ten, 20,000 of them leaving and the city would be dead. And yet those people up until now have been vilified, they have been crucified, they have been targeted, they have been impugned. (interruption) I do know those people, Dawn, but they would not listen to me. These are Obama voters. Most of these people we’re talking about are Obama voters, these 40,000, a lot of them are on Wall Street. I don’t know how long that’s going to last, a lot of them probably offshore. But Obama’s going to find out who they are because the Swiss banking laws have been changed because of Obama.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to take you to CNBC, the pulse of revolution, Rick Santelli. This morning, a reporter, CNBC — NBC: Nothing But Cutesy, meaning nothing but Obama, Rick Santelli on the board of the Chicago Board of Trade on the morning Squawk Box, or whatever the show is called, listen to this.

SANTELLI: The government is promoting bad behavior! How this, president and new administration, why didn’t you put up a website to have people vote on the Internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers’ mortgages or would we like to at least buy cars and buy houses in foreclosure and give ‘em to people that might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that could carry the water instead of drink the water. This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor’s mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can’t pay their bills? Raise their hand. (boos) President Obama, are you listening?

FLOOR TRADER: How about we all stop paying our mortgage? It’s a moral hazard.

RUSH: Now, you got mad at me for suggesting this yesterday, Snerdley. You got mad at me. You said, “This is a risky, dangerous thing you’re doing by telling people not to pay their mortgage,” after the mortgage bill yesterday, remember that? I also told people, “Go call your lender, tell them you want a more affordable rate.” That’s actually number six in a story here on six pieces of advice the federal government has put out, call your lender and ask for a lower rate. (interruption) Hm-hm. Yes, I know that. Your mortgage has to be controlled by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae in order to get any of this, meaning the government runs the mortgage business. Of course, Snerdley we told you this weeks ago. That’s nationalizing mortgage industry, nationalizing the banks, nationalizing the auto industry, it’s exactly what’s happening. Now, these guys that you heard in the Rick Santelli bite at CNBC, they are the traders, they’ve got skin in the game, they are booing Obama’s policies. Here’s the second bite.

SANTELLI: Cuba used to have mansions and a relatively decent economy. They moved from the individual to the collective. Now they’re driving ‘54 Chevys, may be the last great car to come out of Detroit. We’re thinking of having a Chicago tea party in July. All you capitalists that want to show up at Lake Michigan, I’m going to start organizing.

QUICK: What are you dumping in — what are you dumping in this time?

SANTELLI: I’m gonna be dumping in some derivative securities.

RUSH: Chicago tea party in July and the traders are going nuts. The traders love what they’re hearing. By the way, I watched the video on this. The traders aren’t watching this guy. His back is to them, they’re back is to him, they’re at their desks and their computer monitors and so forth and Santelli just starts going nuts and they react to him totally spontaneously, he’s not even looking at them, they react, then he turns around and looks at them. Here is his final bite.

SANTELLI: There’s only about 5% of the floor population here right now, and I talk loud enough they could all hear me. So if you want to ask them anything, let me know. These guys are pretty straightforward and, my guess is, a pretty good statistical cross section of America, the silent majority. They’re pretty much of the notion that you can’t buy your way into prosperity, and if the multiplier that all of these Washington economists are selling us is over one, that we never have to worry about the economy again, the government should spend a trillion dollars an hour because we’ll get $1.5 trillion back. I’ll tell you what, if you read our Founding Fathers, people like Benjamin Franklin and Jefferson, what we’re doing in this country now, is making them roll over in their graves.

RUSH: We have abandoned the market. We do not trust the market. The market is what’s deemed to be unfair. The market is what is punishing the losers in life. We’re going total Keynesian. Government will be the focus of all economic activity, government, Central Planning, will pick winners and losers. If you’re an achiever, if you’re a producer, you are the loser, you are going to pay for the bailout of all the losers — when I say losers, I’m not talking about sad sacks. I’m talking about people who make wrong decisions, people that refuse to pay the bills. It’s like this mother that gave birth to the eight kids, the octomom. She’s in foreclosure and shopping today at Nordstrom. That’s who you are bailing out. You’re bailing out the octomom so that she can go to Nordstrom’s.

I think Rush must know, or at least is thinking that we
may be breathing our last bit of free air, so the threat of
the fairness doctrine be damned.

I think of the hearings to confirm Holder and can’t help wondering if he would be reconfirmed if it were put up for a vote again. Of course, I tell myself, those putzes would reconfirm him, even knowing what a petty race bating jackass he is. But then, thinking of the people who confirmed his nomination, water seeks its own level.

You're right. These flaming Marxists think we'll keep putting our capital at risk just so they can dictate the outcome. Forget it. I'm taking it off the table while I still can.

DO you like pie? I like pie. Obama is giving us pie. He’s giving AMERICA one giant pie in the face!

He's giving us the finger! Just like he gave McCain the finger on the eve of the election:

A Real Class Act!!
