watch for this week. jim pinkerton, kirsten powers and i'm jon scott, thank you for watching this year and see you next week with another edition of fox news watch. tonight are rush limbaugh and he is not holding anything back. the interview you'll only see right here. welcome to our one hour special, rush bill law on the record. he talks the economy and his career. here is rush limbaugh. >> greta: rush, nice to see you? >> great to be here as always. >> greta: we love being here but we blew out your power last? >> second time it happened but it only kept us off the air about three minutes. we'll send you the bill. >> greta: but the first time with us, too? >> only two times. >> greta: next time i promise we won't do it. 2012 election, what do you think

is the most important issue to concern americans? >> obama, everything obama. that is the most important thing to conservative americans. i don't know how you separate him from policies. obama is the problem. obama has the vision of this country that is not held by anywhere near the majority of people. you realize that barack obama ran for the office in 2008 campaigning what he has done he wouldn't have gotten 30% of the vote, if that. which is i think how liberals have to lie and mischaracterize what they want do and what they stand for. they are minority. a minority of thought but ther not perceived that way. they have the mainstream media with them. the perception is they are much larger bloc than they really are.

if you had to single one thing out, it would be obamacare. that sums up everything that is disastrous, destructive about barack obama. if the healthcare bill is not repealed the country will change forever in ways that people can't imagine. it's going to be a massive loss of individual liberty and freedom. once government has control of healthcare and costs involve, they can dictate every aspect the way you live. based on saving money, whether or not you will be treated, worth it to save you if you have a bad disease. it's bad all the way around. people ask me, do you really think these things that you say about obama? i do. from the bottom of my heart. if you recall, january 16th before obama was inaugurated, i was asked to write a piece for

"wall street journal." 400 words of what i hoped for the president. remember at that time everybody was awash in the glow of the first black president, all this historical stuff. it didn't matter to me. once he was elected. policies matter to me, what he is going to do. i can take it 400 words. but what i meant he hasn't failed. he has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. this national single health care the green energy stuff. that is all a hoax based on another heojs and fraud based on global warming. i do get motivations why politicians do things they do. a lot of people don't care to

get involved with that. i do. i think it's a trap. it can give you an idea -- its track, what motivates them. i have often expected that obama has a chip on the shoulder of the country. he doesn't think it's great. he doesn't think of it as exceptional. he thinks of it as criminal and guilty in many ways. he thinks that our superpower status was the result of theft, resources and ideas from or nations all over the world believe the multicultural garbage. we kicked the indians off the land and brought homophobia and slavery and all that. i think obama wants people to find out to live the way we have forced other people around the world to live. he said in kansas.

he basically said the way this country was founded never worked. the way he characterized was a sense everybody out fending for themselves. self-interests have sent more people than charity. self-interests trying to do the best for themselves raises everybody up. it offends him as it never worked. america has never worked. the rich are the problem. who believes that the rich are the problem that we have an economic mess? he wants people believe it. it's outrageous, i don't relish the thought of four more years of this. >> greta: is he a bad guy in your mind or is the etiology? >> one and the same. what do you mean by bad guy?

it could be loaded. >> greta: a motive to intention motive to hurt the country versus his i'd jolg one the way to achieve ideals. >> this is the question. we are living under a number of assumptions with obama that have been presented to us by elites. one is the illusion that obama is brilliant. we have never had a politician like this in our murders in 2007 and 2008. nobody like obama has ever trod our soil is going to unify us and world is going to love us again. it's going to lower the sea levels, ridiculous stuff. is he really dumb, does he really believe that taking capital money out of the private

sector and transferring it to government unions is the way you grow? is that the way? does he really believe that? is he that ill-educated. is he the product of nothing other than the american education system and whoever influenced it when he was young. or is he a marxist socialist that has an agenda of cutting the country down to size? the question to me, the answer the question is irrelevant. why he is doing it, it's obama he is doing it. he is taking steps, policies that are injurious to the country and injurious to individuals targeting the enemy the people that work. targeting as the enemy the people that pay taxes.

this business as occupy wall street crowd was created on the basis that romney was the republican nominee. wall street was set up to oppose romney. wall street blamed for all these ills in the economy like the subprime mortgage fund. subprime mortgage problem which is the root of this economic disaster we're in was strictly created by government. it was plan, barney frank has said, affordable housing, loan them money knowing they can't pay it back. bill clinton started and jimmy carter and andrew cuomo they forced lending institutions to make these loans and people can't pay them back. lending institutions is worthless paper, they created ways to turn the paper into something of value by creating

mortgage backed securities if they didn't sell do unsuspecting du pegs down the line. the whole thing blew up. it's where we are. wall street, they are convenient enemy. barack obama loves to talk about wall street tricked people in getting these loans. they were told. they were had ordered by the government to make these loans in fairness. it was liberalism on parade. liberalism is giving us every problem we're facing in this country. whether they are dumb or stupid or purposeful, it's too late. and they are doubling down on it. three years in three years hasn't worked. you realize there are 2.35 million jobs in america than when barack obama was elected. fewer jobs, the universe from

which we created this percentage has shrunk. real unemployment rate, two people have said this, if the same jobs existed when he was inaugurated today as in 2008 real unemployment rate would be 11%. its disaster. there has been plenty of time to realize it doesn't work and change course. he is not going to do it because he doesn't believe in it. >> greta: do you think he'll get re-elected? >> in 11 months anything can happen. in if the election today, i would say no. i don't think conventional wisdom the republicans only have one person can beat him. i don't believe the conventional wisdom billion dollars can dwarf any cain and they can criticize

any opponent. american people are hurting. he cannot say, vote for me for four more years. all obama can do is run a negative campaign. tear apart the opponent and tear apart the process. two guys that were on your shown they wrote a piece begging him to get out. his only chance is even if he wins he has torn the country apart in the process. it's not worth the price of his reelection and he wouldn't have mandate to do it. i think he is imminently defeatable. i don't believe inside the beltway, conventional wisdom without elections. >> greta: you mentioned hillary clinton, would she have been a different president? >> not ideologically.

>> greta: what she accomplished? >> i think she would have sought the same things. i don't know if she would have succeeded getting healthcare passed. they were this close to getting healthcare pass that they really didn't have the vote for it even with their own party. there was so much going on to get healthcare passed. whether hillary could have gotten done. she is a disciple of the community organizer and agitator that inspired obama. to me it would have been six and a half on dozen or the other. >> greta: has any of them done anything that impressed you? >> i get this question all the time. obama, impress me.

he goes on a lot of vacations. he has played ten times the round of golf than i've played this year. the root of that question is there anything nice -- they may be perfectly nice people. i'm instructly orientated toward policy. i guess obama was honest last december when he acknowledged he had to extended bush tax cuts. you remember the lame duck session of congress. if you listen to what he was saying year ago, last december versus two different people. last year we couldn't end the bush tax rate cuts because that would be huge increase on the middle-class. up until then, democrats and bush tax cuts, bush tax rate reductions were across the board

for everybody. obama did not want to get rid of those last year because he did not want people with less money in their pocket with a tax increase in his reelection year. their at a time his base. now he had to promise january to this year to get rid of it. bush tax cuts, he is going to get it. raise tax cuts on the rich. he was honest last december when he talked about the value of the bush tax cuts and what damage would be caused if they got rid of them. >> greta: straight ahead, much more with rush limbaugh. he has a big with warning for republicans. what it could cost in the 2012 election. rush will tell you, next. [ male announcer ] this is lara. her morning begins with arthritis pain. that's a coffee and two pills. the afternoon tour begins with more pain and more pills. the evening guests arrive. back to sore knees. back to more pills.

the day is done but hang on... her doctor recommended aleve. just 2 pills can keep arthritis pain away all day with fewer pills than tylenol. this is lara who chose 2 aleve and fewer pills for a day free of pain. [ female announcer ] get an aleve coupon in this sunday's paper.

>> greta: rush limbaugh ditious out words of warning, saying the g.o.p. face ace big problem in 2012. what is it? here's rush limbaugh. why has governor mitt romney not well a so-called surge? we hear surge with basically every republican nominee. but you don't see that surge with governor romney? >> well, every poll i have seen of republican primary voters, he can't crack 30%. it has been curious.

you look at it from the reverse, 70% of republican voters want member else. this is why we have a phenomenon of the not romney. bachmann and then herman cain now newt is the not romney. i think it boils down to something that is not complicated at all. republican primary voters are conservative. they don't believe that romney is. they believe that he will stick a finger in the air and moist moisten it and see which way the winds are blowing and try to get in that direction. romney said he believes in global warming and that man is causing it. the conservatives don't believe that. they believe it's a hoax. conservatives know that the story is a hoax. they are not going to get excited by a candidate who is trying to gain favor with nonrepublican primary voters by articulating them. here's the big problem, greta, for the republicans.

i am a lone wolf on this. the rule of thumb in elections, both parties, 40% are going to vote democrat uwhatever you do, 40% are going to vote republican, whatever do you. in the middle, who doe we have? precious independents and the moderates. and they are the targets. they're are the focus of every election. our brilliant campaign consultants tell our candidates they are the ones that know how to get a majority of those independents. we have, as republicans, put ourselves in prison to this twhoal silly notion that you only win elections by moving to the center and getting great independents. fine and dandy, but if you squander your base in the process, you haven't a prayer. the republican party is trying to do something in this primary that is unprecedented. they are trying to split the conservative vote and win the primary with a moderate. mitt romney, it's the other way

around, normally. you consolidate the base and then you move to the center. but the republican establishment has decided they don't want any part of conservatives. the republican party formative event, the goldwater landslide, that's what they think when they think conservative. they don't think reagan. they think goldwater. they believe what the inside-the-beltway flos way is, they are racist, sexist, bigot, southern hicks. they are pro-lifers, they are embarrassing to have to go to convention with them. they are embarrassed. they are dumb. they are not erudite, but we don't want to hang around them and we don't want anybody in washington to think that we are that close to them. so in the process, it's a very

sophisticated electorate, the republican primary voter can sense that the republican party really doesn't like them or want them, thinks they are the root to defeat. that's the problem. the republican establishment thinks that the conservative nominee is the root to defeat because they think that goldwater landslides are going to happen because they believe what the popular misconception, the left has created of conservatives. they think everybody thinks that. so this is the craziest thing, listen to this. i love this! barbara boxer said yesterday that republicans with this latest bill on the payroll tax and the pipeline want to kill 8100 people. 8100 people, barbara boxer, republicans want to kill 8100 people. republicans want dirty air, dirty water, republican ceos want to kill their customers. you have mean-spirited extremist

stuff from harry reid and pelosi's mouth. have you our candidates. there was a fascinating news story on yahoo news. yahoo inadvertently was invited to a conference call with rnc and a polling group, seeking advice on how to beat obam a. the people at torrance said, don't criticize him personally. he has very high personal number, people love him and even feel sorry for him want don't attack obama. you lose. if that's what you are going to do, you lose. you can't separate obama from his policy. don't bring up bill ayers. don't go personal, people like obam a. okay. put yourself in a straitjacket, you lose that. belief system is rooted in the fact of that great 20% in the middle, the independents don't like conflict, don't like criticism of obama, don't like

confrontation. they wantitous work together across the aisle, compromise. fine. really? so we criticize obama, they are going to run off with nancy pelosi or barbara boxer, accusing us of killing people. they look at democrats as mild-mannered compromise. that's a bunch of crap! greta, this whole notion that the republicans can't be confrontational, can't be aggressive and go on offense because they will tick off the independents and send them running to democrats is a scam philosophy that has been foisted upon us to shut us up. it's a minor version of political correctness, we are not supposed to be critical of liberalism or socialism. what do we do? we nominate milquetoast moderates. what do they do? they lose! i actual lie think that if you could get -- you talk to these

guys, republican establishment, elected officials, party officials, certain inside-the-beltway media, ask if obama can be beat, they will tell you, they are scared. they are on defense. nobody won anything defending anything. you win on offense. you win attacking. you don't win defending anything. you can't advance. you are always defending, you can't advance. so we have this notion that i think they believe obama can't lose. but they want the senate back. they want their chairmanships. they want the congress back so they think they can stop obama that wasm but more importantly, they are in charge. they get the committee chairmanships and they are in charge of the money. i would rather have somebody who knows that obam can be beat and wants obama to be beat. that's going to be somebody who is conservative. not moderate, not squeamish, not

populist. we don't need a candidate who will try to say things or be things he doesn't believe or really isn't to try to pick off a couple of independents or democrats here. i think that conserveatism appeals to everybody, passion, good cheer, conserveatism is about the best for everybody. it's about the best everybody can be, using whatever ambition and desire they have. not shackles, we don't look at people and say, you can't do that. we don't look at people with contempt, like the democratic party and see the fail that you are needs to be guided from the time they are born to the time they die. it's obscene. >> coming up, why are some republicans -- yes republicans, savaging the former speaker house and republican newt gingrich? are they picking on him? have they chosen a candidate? we have rush limbaugh those questions. and you will hear those answers. that's

[ nadine ] buzzzz, bzzzz, bzzzz, bzzzz, you know, typical alarm clock. i am so glad to get rid of it. just to be able to wake up in the morning on your own. that's a big accomplishment to me. i don't know how much money i need. but i know that whatever i have that's what i'm going to live within. ♪ ♪

>> the claws come out. the g.o.p. race gets ugly, as political leaders turn on members of their own party. once again, here's rush limbaugh. >> greta: it seeps that a number of republican who is served with speaker gingrich are going after him with greatir ferocity -- they are ferociously going after him. senator coburn, governor

sinunew. is that different? >> well, it's interesting to me. it is not just those guys. it's -- i have been chronicling it last week and this. this is the inside-the-beltway republican media. george will called hitch a marxist. he never called obama a marxist. i don't pretend to know with a person, like coburn, he won't say, it's something about leadership. that's as far as he went. i don't know what some of newt's colleague who is worked with him who don't like him or have problems, i don't know what happens... i wasn't there. i know that robert walker, who there was, is trying to counter balance this thing. he was great as speaker of the house. but i think, strip all of this away. i really think it is largely an attack on newt because they're

afraid he might win. and the republican establishment is wired into romney. that's what they had their heart set on, they had their heart set on romney winning. not a drawn-out process with a lot of money in the primary process, not have to go through destructive, intra-party fights, get rom nerks be done with it and move on to the general and start focusing on obam a. i think a lot of ducks inspector a row for that to happen. but they are frustrated because we talked earlier, romney still has 65, 70% of republicans that say no in a poll. cain surged and the women surfaced -- where are they now? i still don't know what he did. there hasn't been one -- or i missed it -- one cluesive bitted of evidence. but it was such a wave that it was forthcoming that he had to get out.

it was distracting. family didn't like it. now it's newt's turn. whoever comes the anti-romney is going to get this kind of treatment because i think there is just a commitment to romney in the upper levels of the republican party. >> greta: why is the upper part of the republican party interested in romney? >> they think he's the only guy who can beat obama. but they really -- greta -- don't doat doubt me. you get into the bowels of these people. have you had them on your show. i don't want to name name, but the republican establishment, the hire arky and the media, they are scared to death of obam a. so the calculation is, best opportunity, the only electable in this field, they think is romney. even if he doesn't win, he has enough down hill to pull and take back the senate, which is i think their real objective, if they work on and they tell you, that's what they think the most

realistic objective is is to capture the senate and get their chairmanships back. if you remember in the 2010 mid-term, the establishment just came unglued at christine odonald and sharon angle because they were convince audio both of those candidates, very conservative, their opponents weren't, they were straight down-the-middle, moderate, rhino-republican. but they thought they had a better chance of winning. the republican party's not about conservativism and ideology. that was a big wake-up call for me. there is no conservative movement inside the beltway. it's all outside washington. and a lot of conservative voters... are just starting to realize that in the last few short years. >> greta: are the conservative voters the same thing as the tea party? the same people? >> yeah. but a lot of conservatives are not -- didn't join the tea

party -- tea party is not the universe. look it -- i think that a lot of these precious 20% independents, undecided voters, i think in there are a lot of conservative who is won't admit it because to do so in the wrong crowd -- ohhhh! you listen to -- extremist! you are pro-- pro-- they don't want to deal with the criticism. but the old reagan democrats. i don't think obamga has a lock on them at all. in fact, greta, gosh, this is so profound -- three weeks ago now, it was a monday in the new york times, a guy named thomas d. edsel who usessed to write for the washington post, is wong of the big honchos at the huffing torn post, which admitted, they are not interested in white,

working-class family votes, they are writing them off. they don't think they can get them. they are not going to pursue white, working life class families. take the race out of this. i don't mean this in a racial sense. they aren't going after working people, other than union working people, they are going after the poor. they will try to consolidate the poor, people who are not working or paying taxes, that's why the class warfare and the 99% versus 1% b.s. that's why the rich aren't paying their fair share, people who are not working, aren't contributing, aren't doing anything to move the country forward and telling them, they are the entitlement. they are the ones screwed, the rich are only rich because they stole it from you. you know, we are going to get it back to you, which they have been telling people for 50 years and the poor are still poor. and the minorities are still the minorities. nothing ever changes. they do not improve people's

lives. by group or by individuals. but they talk a good game of compassion. they own that moniker. so people invest in the hope that their lives are going to get better, voting for democrats. i would rather depend on myself than a politician who i don't know who tells me he is looking out for my best interest. but how can he be? that's self-interest. try to be the best you can be. adam smith, wealth of nations, 1776. i forget the exact phrase, he said, when guto the butcher, the butcher doesn't give you meat because he's a nice guy, he's selling you meat so his family eats. you benefit, too. he's a butcher. he's cutting up bee. he's selling it. you buy t. he benefits. what we are facing now is that

the people from occupy wall street yeah, but the butcher's making a profit. it's not fair. he's making a profit offr off people. but if he didn't, there would be no reason to do what he's doing. they think that people ought to work for nothing. people ought to be whatever government gives them. they think their needs and wants thereby supplied that way. there won't be anybody who has risk in life and sadness or disappointment. and obama nurtures that, which is unamerican. it's -- it's not the way the human beings are built. it is not the way this country was built. it is not the way -- i am amazed. this country is less than 250 years old, smaller than 300 million people. there are countries and populations that have been around thousands of years. and yet, we are a super power. our dna's no different than anybody in europe or asia. we are not better people. we are not created specially,

differently, more blessed, smarter, whatever. how did this happen? it has to be freedom, our founding documents. it has to be the notion that this nation's built on self reliance and be the best you can be and you bring everybody in your family and your neighborhood with you. but now that's a crime. democrat -- that's a crime. obama said, this business, taking care of yourself, we can't have that. looking out for yourself, that disbts work. never has worked. well, it has. it worked better than anything else, including anything he has tried. >> greta: up next, more from rush limbaugh on the presidential campaign and what does rush say is really behind the fast and furious scandal? rush will tell you. plus, is rush making a career change? you won't believe what he has brewing. you'll hear all about it. that's coming u since i've lost weight i have so much more energy than i used to, when i'm out with my kids, my daughter's like, "mom, wait up!" and i'm thinking, "shouldn't you have more energy than me?

liberal belief system. detroit... other places, a micrososm of where europe is and where we are headed, unchecked, unstopped liberalism. for those of you who like the committeeic party, that's where we are headed. there hasn't been any opposition there, not of any strength or power. take a look. that's the one thing that is constant. it was the same thing in new orleans. post katrina. what's the one thing that was constant there? all run by liberals. all run by democrats. what is happening to california? all liberal all the time. tax rates out the wazoo. 12%, state on top of federal, taxing the rich even more. people are leaving for idaho, start businesses elsewhere. problem is liberalism.

people watching say, that's too simplistic. it's really not. it's right. it's correct. that's the one constant. the belief that government can do better for everybody than individuals can do for themselves. the belief that individuals are inherently corrupt and government is angelic. and so government will take care of the individual corruption by somehow making sure that everybody's equal and has the same. but government doesn't know how to produce anything. obama runs around and says all of that -- it's never worked stuff. how did you get here, pal? you got here on a 747. you wouldn't know the first thing to do if you had to make one. that suit -- what have you done -- where did that come from? your shoes. the car you drive around in. the white house. i mean, just, this stuff happened by mag snick how does this stuff get produced? this guy is running around

ripping this country, as having never worked before and he hasn't contributed one thing. and yet, he has all the worry sos -- all the answers on health care, jobs. and it's absurd. he hasn't contributed anything to the greatness of this country. he is trying to take credit for the war in iraq. he spent, along with every other democrat in the senate, 7 years, 5 years, undermining it, sabotaging, unjust war, immoral. harry reid -- this war is a loss. and general petraeus -- thy did everything they could to sabotage it. and now he's talk about this greatness of america. this, a democrat outpost in iraq, the greatest sacrifice -- he thought fought it, he thought it was stupid. he didn't think it was possible. now? he is taking credit for it?

if efs really this great unifier, he would have brought george bush with him to ft. brag to the press conference with al-maliki. he doesn't want to do that. i think he is happy that we are divided and there is chaos because all that means, another excuse, another reason for a government action of some kind, a government program to fix it. >> greta: what is the role of government? >> government...: spelled out, ideally and flawlessly and perfectly in the constitution. the first 10 amendments limit what government can do. and fdr and obama have both said that that's a big obstacle. they call that negative liberties. the constitution, to them, is negdifliberties because it says

what government can't do. they want to change it. fast & furious -- i am sure you and your audience -- you know what that was about? and the. >> greta: mails now prove it. obama doesn't have the votes. the american people like the second amendment. the democratic party has lost the argument, intellectually, so let's get guns from arizona gun shops into the hands of drug cartels and wipe people out and spread the news that the guns came from america, which obama did -- he went to mexico and had a conservation with calderone. we are supposed to be outraged and sign on to gun control. this was an effort around the second amendment. that's what fast & furious is -- or what. >> greta: let me add something about that fast & furious. because i was down there at the time. there is a lot of upset saying that the guns came from america. the atf told me -- i remember it just because i thought it was odd, that the guns came from

china and belgium through the united states. and that's -- >> but they were in the united states at in point and ended up in mexico. >> greta: but that has set fib people on fire, as to the source of the guns. >> it did what? >> greta: the whole idea was the nra is when someone said the guns came from the united states, they dbut two other countries were using it as a corridor. >> right. >> greta: that has been a source of great consternation and fighting amongst everyone on the gun issue. >> well, guns may not have been made here. but their ultimate point of sale was here. they ended up here, wherever they came from -- i don't care. i don't understand why that's an issue. they were in gun shops in america and end up in a drug cartedle. >> greta: i think it was a vailed policy on a law

enforcement operation. i didn't see it as an effort to defeat the second amendment. just a terribly stupid idea. >> they have the emails. cbs news uncovered the emails and amazingly, in a random act of journalism, actually published them. the emails -- i forget, they are justice department emails. it spells out exactly what i said, that the purpose of this program was to arouse anti-gun sentiment among the american population. >> greta: who do you think the president campaign fears more tactically to run against, romney or gingrich? >> those two probably gingrich. >> greta: why? >> because of romneycare. i think -- i am a lone wolf on this, by the way. the republican establishment and the media republican establishment whom i have referenced frequently on your

show here... believe that newt -- that obama -- oh, they are -- oh, please give us newt. see, i never think that the democrats are trying to help us. when they tell us what the worst things we can do is, it's the opsilt. why would they tell us that oh, please give us newt? if they eye think romneycare, they think they can destroy romney because that is obamacare and romney's advisers have said so. his people helped him put it together. yeah, it was the model for obamacare. they think it takes cash careawftd table because romney can be targeted or mentioned as having supported it and implemented it in massachusetts, which he won't renounce.
