Here is how the conversation went after the multimillionaire rejected the $500 bet he knew he would lose. Notice he blames the Liberal media, who it turns out were reporting accurately, for the caller's "doom and gloom!"
Caller Proposes Recession Bet
December 20, 2007
CALLER: (laughs) Yes, sir.
RUSH: (laughs) But what were you willingly to put on the line for this?
CALLER: I was going to put my $500.
RUSH: Five hundred dollars. Well, look, if you're right, you can't afford to lose $500.
CALLER: Well, I think that's so, but I think the money I'd win from you would be well worth it.
RUSH: Do you think a president can stop the slide that's imminent?
CALLER: No, Rush, and I think the housing market this time is something like the country's never seen. It has never soared so high in the history, since they started keeping numbers. They can't compare it to any time in history except Japan, where it happened in 1984, and theirs is still coming down.
RUSH: Well, I'm amazed that people can take the news on a day like this. See, I think you're being helped along by the context and the attitude in which all of this is reported: the doom and gloom. For example, you make it sound like everybody who owns a house is going to go bust, because they're going to lose their equity in it, then they're going to turn to credit cards and they're going to get cut off from those and then they're going to be up a creek. Ninety-four percent of mortgage holders are making payments on time: 94%. Now, that might be better if it were 98, but the point is it's not 50. It's not 60. It's 94%. So the roots of the so-called housing crisis, I don't think they're deep, and certainly it's not as bad as it's being portrayed.
You seem to know more about him than I do arte you saying rush is your Messiah?
