" Now joining me on the phone is radio talk show host mr. Rush Limbaugh rush. We are very good answer. I want -- I want to play something for you I don't know if you just saw but a lot of played again this is the noon diversity officer for the FCC. A newly created position this is what he said that and they had at a speech -- he was given. About Chavez Venezuela and how the media work down there. Watch this."
" this. The program. -- Home -- is. More. Students. Here. Okay. --"
" Rush I find that breathtaking."
" final -- administration breathtaking Glenn women you're you're doing. A great job this whole week. I'm -- Sara Taylor the been treated about what you're doing urging people watched. This whole administration insists it is radical and far left is Dennehy. That the country has ever had and what they're trying to do here the communications -- simply stifled dissenting voices they're trying to wipe out Denny. Opposition if you look at Barack Obama there is a track record as a politician. It is do clear the playing legally does leave them like debating his opponents he just wants to get rid of them and this this diversity is -- comes from way they've. They're playing the usual at a gold. Seoul Olympic ski type of background in the thinks that he's talking about doing I watched your show for the first half hour -- that -- the he's talking about doing. Do shut down radio -- simply un American how -- it is it's not not not to say there's not constitutional. It simply un American and make no bones about it folks. -- is right -- wouldn't would have been his maybe selling a little bit about as far as their intentions are concerned. -- stimulus plan Bledel look at what they don't -- the US economy did he get anybody to live with a with a sense of economic literacy. Would know this is not how you create jobs you do not rebuild the private sector. This is being done on purpose. All of these disasters. Are exactly what Obama wants the more Christ is the better the more opportunity for government to say let us gimmick and fix the problem. And with big deal is number one opposition is all other radio and fox know this is number one opposition on radio. They can't go Fairness Doctrine because it's -- lobbyist. They're trying to do this backdoor route with diversity of ownership a 100% tax on operating debt or pay public radio because they're supposedly fair. It's in the us. But I don't think it's gonna work give -- because the American people to inform people when they're too old wherever -- radio. Media is too much to -- they're free speech free that in general we had to wait too much trouble it just that are fighting back on. On the on the health care and the number of other things so will they fight back got --"
" The tomorrow on this program I'm -- the lay out the case of the army that they are building right underneath are on our our nose and an army that he spoke about on the campaign trail. And I if you watch the -- what it can only be called. The organization's. Or the administration's organ. Anything involved would GE your NBC. You've got now to Jeffrey -- mall on the board of the Federal Reserve you have been in the Oval Office consulting not only on health care but the financial situation. And they are an organ if you watch MSNBC. I contend that you will see the future because they are laying the ground for a horrible event. That will be. But it is what they're laying the ground for anything from the right there -- some awful event and I fear this government this administration. It has so much framework already prepared that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought."
" Well I think I think because of what you're doing with your television surely radio show overall doing here I don't think they're gonna be a policy as an overnight without anybody knowing about it. And you talk about these organized groups that they've got because let's look at the health care situation what's happening right now the genuine passion. The real passion is any individual americans' hearts and -- to give individuals are showing up and -- going to the web to find out where. These total -- they're shorten up because individually. They don't want any part of just. The Obama army after people who paid forty Obama -- has to be given marching -- the Obama army is not showing up. With a great passion for Obama's issue which is healthcare and they're shorten up because they've been instructed to my bosses. Now that they've they've this Armitage would have revealed tomorrow is probably going to be much the same way that -- target something Glenn. Passionate love of country. Truth is going up output over and over power. Fake passion trumped up people who were just given marching orders so -- and sent out to act in a certain way. -- I got a -- maybe you look at it Barack Obama destroying the Democrat party to sort of just say that nobles we -- looking at that happened there are reasons. For optimism but you're right it is a dangerous time it's the most dangerous time in my life. For freedom and liberty in this country."
" I will tell you. A lot of people would say well let's Rush Limbaugh he's you know this is hyperbole -- set for tetra. Would you agree with me brush that this is not. This is not conservatives or Republicans or independents talking about this because they don't like rush they don't like. Barack Obama. These are Americans. I'm an American I'm speaking to you as an American. This is bad news for anyone in unless he or in the power circle you you. You don't want to go down this road with what they're proposing with the FCC."
" Null and well I don't wanna go down the road and doing are proposing on -- minutes that you could you ask an interesting question you know. People gonna react do you want me simply because where the hyperbole -- these guys do. I got my first hour yesterday it was chronicling how this man is systematically dismantling. Our ability to gather intelligence to protect themselves against the Apache is purposely using an attorney general. To make the United States moved a little of the world and Alitalia folks. Up from about a in my heart I am -- comfortable thinking and saying these things about a man who has been elected president of the United -- it is. Terribly upsetting a disconcerting and I wish I didn't think it and I wish I didn't have to say it. It's that there's there's there's no way to sugar coated this is not politics as usual this is not left converse is right this is not Republican versus Democrat. This is -- totalitarianism. Versus freedom. Any of these people are allowed to go where they wanna go unchecked. Then put some people a lot of people I don't think Catholic country the close. We all wake up what they umpire Mike -- what -- hell happened because this is not what they voted for they get no attention of this they thought they were getting something entirely different. It is it's it's a responsibility that we all have. Being honest and in earnest to inform people of what these possibilities are because they are very."
