Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yeah, here it is.
Hang on.
Hang on, folks.
I'm just here we one more page.
There we go.
All right.
Now we're ready to go.
Greetings, my friends.
Great to have you.
Yes, still prepping the program even as the opening theme music begins to play.
Rush Limbaugh firmly ensconced behind the golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
It's a it's a sheer delight to have you with us today, folks.
Telephone number.
If you uh want to be on the program, it's 800-282-2882.
Email address rush at EIB net.com.
Well, couple things here about the weekend.
First off, Brian did it.
Um I tried to stop it at the last minute.
It's over.
I tried to stop it at the last minute.
It was a feeble effort, I must admit, but he got married uh uh down at Duck Key down in the Keys uh on uh what night was it?
Was it was Saturday night.
You got married on Saturday.
That's right, because Friday night I had the marine dinner.
Tell you about that here in just a second.
We're we're we don't have the pictures from the marine dinner yet.
We hope to get some today or soon, but one of the photographers taking pictures to marine dinner uh was uh member of the military, and he was with uh uh Secretary Rumsfeld's uh entourage, and he gave me his business card.
He said, uh, you gotta get to me by two o'clock this morning.
I'm leaving for a rock.
I said, two o'clock this morning, I'm not gonna be home by two o'clock this morning.
I said, I don't I don't well, how many pictures you got?
Oh, tons of them on need a server to put them on.
I don't I don't I didn't have our server address with him to give him, you know, and and I didn't want to wake anybody from the website up, they go to bed uh at midnight or so.
So I wasn't able to establish contact with uh with with that young man, but there were plenty of other people taking pictures.
We get those pictures, we'll put them up on the website as soon as we get them.
But Brian Johnson, our our esteemed and and loved uh broadcast engineer here, married his sweetie on uh on on Saturday night.
And it was a really gorgeous, it was outside.
Everybody was uh Brian was the only guy wearing a jacket, he was wearing a was it a tuxedo?
It was okay with a tuxedo, but even the uh the groomsmen were in these untucked uh Tommy Bahama shirts.
It's a it's a it's a great way to do a wedding.
I've I've finally figured out, I have learned, I have discovered that uh uh God did not put me here to have fun while being choked by necktie and a uh and a tight collar.
So I've I've got a new policy.
I wear it as little as possible now.
And Brian's wedding was great in that regard.
But he was the first to pop up before anybody else, um the beginning of the ceremony.
He was stood up there with uh with uh the the gentleman conducting the and this was very wise.
You know, Brian when I got a lawyer to conduct the ceremony instead of a preacher.
Did you know that?
It was it was it was it was a lawyer, and it's perfectly legal.
I thought, wow.
Uh so anyway, just one short little it was beautiful ceremony.
The whole the whole night was a lot of fun.
Uh but there's Brian is walking up to the little gazebo, and we are seated in the second row on the groom side.
He's walking up all alone.
Uh and he's he stood up there about ten minutes before anybody else showed up, so he's waiting for the and as he's walking up the steps.
I shouted out, There's still time.
He looked at me, he looked at just rolled his eyes and chuckled and smiled.
And everybody else did too, because they knew the totally loving spirit in which the comment was intended purely as a joke.
So um anyway, we we had a everybody had a great time down there, and and uh Brian is off uh on his honeymoon uh and we'll be back.
When's he gonna be back?
Uh next week, is he gone for a week or so?
Next Monday.
So we still have our management trainee uh doing Brian's job here today, folks.
So you just stick with us uh if things go wrong.
Now the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Scholarship Foundation, Dinner Friday night was uh everything that I expected it to be and and uh and more.
Uh Secretary Rumsfeld arrived about 6.15 for the uh the reception that took place beforehand.
Um and he had his wife with him, uh Joyce, who I had not met before.
I actually hadn't met the secretary.
I've I've spoken to him on the phone a couple times on this program, but I've not met him.
And it was uh he was these people are good.
I mean, before I had a chance to say a word, he was thanking me and his wife was there, telling me how much their son-in-law loves the program.
And uh uh he's I I I mentioned him a couple times.
I said, you know, he was president, by the way, of the GD Sterle Corporation when they introduced Equal, Asper Tame.
Uh he has been in public service and in the corporate sector all of his life, and he's he's been uh tremendous public servant, and I told him a couple times as many of you in the email and and uh on the on the phone last week,
I passed along as as well as I could convey it, uh, the amount of absolute love and admiration and support so many of you in this audience have for him, and he genuinely appreciated uh hearing that, and he asked me to say thanks back, so I'm saying thanks back at you.
Uh but he was uh in fine form, laughing, jolly, had a great time.
Uh I I was told him I was just impressed with the way he he takes the heat uh because he doesn't need this.
I mean, he's um he's seventy years old.
He could he could uh he could be on the beach.
But instead he's choosing to serve his country and and uh institute uh implement policies that his president he believe in, sticking to it, doesn't back down, he's a great man.
Uh enjoyed his wife immensely, and he was seated at our table uh during dinner.
He was in the opposite side of the table from me in crowded rooms like that present hearing challenges for me.
Uh so I didn't get to talk to him much, but he came up warmly after he'd finished his speech and then uh and then he left because he had other things to go do, but uh made it a point to find me and and shake my hand and uh and leave, and I was just flattered beyond my ability to express it to you, uh, as well as the uh time we had with him in the uh in the reception.
He delivered just a tremendously uplifting and and inspirational set of remarks, as did the commandant of the Marine Corps.
The uh commandant of the Marine Corps was the every year, and and he uh uh he told the story of four Marines uh who have served in Iraq, some injured, all behaved just and performed with valor.
Uh uh the the stories just uh uh melt your heart.
Uh and then and these are their leaders.
The secretary, I sat next to General Pace.
Uh uh the he was my uh dinner partner on my left during dinner, the uh chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And when we sat down, I said, General, where did you grow up?
And he said, I will tell you when you call me Pete.
So I looked at him and I said, I can't I can't call the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Pete.
He said, You're not gonna get one answer to any question unless you call me Pete.
So I said, okay, Pete, where did you grow up?
So we started the conversation, and I I I bent his ear a little bit about uh uh my troop visit to Afghanistan and and the times that I've had the opportunity to run into the troops and talk to him about uh the treatment uh that that uh uniform military personnel are receiving in this highly charged political atmosphere and my admiration for them all being volunteers.
And I talked to him a lot about the um uh improv the the country and where we are as a country.
You know, this is not like World War II.
We don't all have to band together and ration things and and uh unify in order to fight a war and win it.
We have such an amazing country now.
We have people who can put their head in the sand and pretend that nothing's going on, run around and and and do things uh without any care or concern or even knowledge, if they choose, about what's happening across the um across the pond and around the world where U.S. forces are at war.
And yet, despite and this is because of our prosperity.
It's because of the unlimited economic opportunity and freedom that we have in this country and and uh the the the for lack of a better word, uh this has become a dirty word to me because I don't I don't like the way it's applied, but in this case it fits this diversity.
We have such a diverse population, uh combined with such freedom and prosperity and opportunity that even if half the country chooses to say, I don't want to pay attention, I don't like this bad news, I'm just gonna go out and do my job, or I'm gonna go to Blockbuster and be first a line Friday or whatever, I don't want to pay that's fine because we have hundreds of thousands of young people who sign up and do the job without conscription.
And it's uh source of great pride to me.
It was to uh it was to him too.
But it was thrilling for me to be able to have some uh really uh personal one-on-one conversations with all of these people and get to know them outside of the way they appear in the media.
It's always different when you get to know people personally, and uh they are they're just some of the finest people you'll ever run into.
Let me ask you a uh a question, ladies and gentlemen, when you see all these people out marching today, all over the place.
What's the first thing that enters your mind?
What's the first thing that enters your mind when you turn on the television or you look at a website and you see all of these pictures with these hundreds of thousands in a hope it'll reach a total of a million today, marching and demonstrating and demanding what's the first thing that enters your mind?
Well, I'll tell you what the first thing that enters my mind is right after this.
Don't go away.
500,000 people alone in Dallas, Texas.
And they're all over television, and when you see these people marching, what's the first thing that enters your mind?
I can guess that some of you say, Don't these people have jobs?
Then you then you say, Yeah, look at all the yard work not being done, look at all the uh bathrooms in Los Angeles not being cleaned today.
Don't don't they have jobs?
You might all also be saying, Who's paying for this?
You might all be saying, where's the INS?
You might be saying, how can they just show up?
I thought they were in the shadows.
How can they show up brazenly demand to be against the law and allowed to be against the law, and nobody does anything about it?
Some of you might say, surround them with INS agents.
My first thought is anger, folks.
Anger and disgust at our government's refusal to do its job.
It is it is obvious these people have no fear of uh of any enforcement uh whatsoever.
And as I said, I don't they don't look like they're in the shadows to me.
They look to me like they're totally willing to come right out of uh uh the shadows into the sunlight.
And here's the thing, you have to know the Democrats are encouraging all this.
The Democrats are encouraging this, the Democrats are doing this to win back the Senate, to win back the House of Representatives.
Ted Kennedy is actually going to speak at 4 30 this afternoon in the Washington demonstration at the where is it, a Washington uh monument or wherever it's gonna be, he's gonna be there.
And he's gonna be there with uh with John Sweeney.
Attention, union members, are you paying attention to what's happening as you're being sold out by your party?
But Ted Kennedy's gonna sit there, he's gonna stand up and he's going to say, in his in his remarks today, uh, that the uh House bill on illegal immigration uh is wrong because it'll make America less secure.
This is, and by the way, Sensenbrenner is bearing the brunt of the blame for all this because he's the guy who is put in the House bill that if you're here illegally, you are a felon.
And these people, if we're not felons, no, we're not Democrats are spreading the word throughout, they've co-opted along with other loony left members.
They've co-opted this whole business of the of the marches.
This is a new civil rights uh era.
In fact, I look at this, the Black Panthers have come out of the woodwork.
The Black Panthers, the Che Guevara crowd, the Che imitate, they're all over this.
It's like the 1960s, all over again.
Some people reliving their youth and the whole thing being cast about illegal immigration, but it's not about that, folks.
This and it and this isn't bash Bush either.
Because Bush is frankly uh not he doesn't disagree with with uh any of this.
This is simply a mechanism whereby the Democrats think they're gonna win back the House and win back the Senate.
This is nothing more than the Democrats attempting to secure their power.
The circumstances, the details here have not changed.
Businesses love the cheap labor.
It's not because Americans won't do it, they do it because it's cheap.
They they import this labor because it's cheap.
There's a reason for this.
It's not the tort the typical reason, well, they're this big business and they want to pay people nothing So they can maximize their profits and have their 15 homes and all of that.
That's not the primary reason behind this.
The lies, nothing's changing.
They're all being perpetrated.
They're in the shadows.
Americans won't do the work they do.
We can't deport all of them, and nobody is suggesting that they be deported, by the way.
People need to remember.
Liberalism advances by little steps, and this is what you're seeing.
You're looking at a demand for the recreation of the welfare state.
You're looking at a marched demand, a protested demand for the uh uh recreation of statism, big government, socialism.
You had people marching today basically for socialism.
Liberalism advances in in small steps, one behind another.
Look at the and I meant that by that mean liberalism advances and we all go backwards.
That's why I say one step behind another.
They don't move forward.
Look at the last sixty-five years, how socialism has become central to government's role.
First, mass amnesty.
That's what that's what's in the Senate bill.
Then more illegals will pour across.
In fact, I will bet you, I don't know the number, I'm just gonna guess.
But I'll bet you the number of people pouring cross the border at night is doubled since this debate began, two or three, especially since the uh the Senate bill contained what is essentially amnesty.
I'll bet you the numbers of people coming across the border from Mexico have increased in the last two weeks dramatically, precisely because of the legislation.
And it makes perfect sense that it would happen given how that bill shapes up and what the people uh who want to get into this country are being made to understand about that bill.
So you got mass amnesty, then you have more illegals, then voting rights for illegals.
That's been proposed.
Oh, yes, and that's what the Democrats see.
And the Republicans, the Republicans are on the wrong side of this issue, think like McCain and and and whoever that they can pander to the Hispanics to get their votes.
Hell's bells, folks, that these people are being promised socialism.
These people are promised they can vote, and they're gonna be they're being promised benefits, they're gonna they're gonna be able to suckle the giant teat of the federal pig.
And that's what they know, and that's one of the reasons, not all, but there's a good number of them that are coming for that reason.
The electoral system is under assault here.
The elect with the Democrats want to legalize felon voting, they want to now legalize the voting of illegals, voting rights for illegals going, well, they're here, rush.
I mean, they ought to be able to have a stake in the society and the culture in which they live.
So we have the electoral system under assault here, and it could be forever changed to ensure the election of liberal democrats.
Meanwhile, while you do all that, you continue to expand entitlement programs, national health care, and those who qualify for it.
Because of course, illegals are people too, and as people they're human beings, and human beings have certain rights, and one of those rights is health care for all.
The proof of the strategy, you think I'm over uh exaggerating?
I don't think so.
The proof of this strategy is clear.
The left refuses to build any barriers to illegal immigration, either physical like walls, or through the punishment of businesses who hire illegals.
And they also know this.
The home, well, Homeland Security Department, which they attack over Hurricane Katrina, is incapable of following or enforcing any of the phony mandates in the proposed bill, such as you gotta learn to speak English, you gotta show up and pay a fine.
There's not going to be any enforcement on that.
And the Department of Homeland Security is supposed to do this after being maligned.
I mean, here figure this out.
These guys in the Senate and Congress who have spent a year maligning Homeland Security and FEMA and say, hey, guys are incompetent, you can't do diddly squat, are going to empower them with enforcing elements of a piece of legislation on what perhaps 11, 12, or 20 million people.
It's a joke.
It's a laugher.
And they all know it.
There's no intention for enforcement to occur.
This bill, in other words, if it passes, if some version of it passes, would institutionalize incompetence and failure.
And that is precisely what it's meant to do.
It is meant to do the following thing.
You put in a bunch of enforcement measures that won't be enforced.
They got to pay a $2,000 fine.
You got to learn to speak English.
You gotta show up and not show up depending on how many years you've been here.
It's all bogus.
At the end of the day, when it's not enforced because it can't be, the conclusion will be, hey, you know what?
We just can't control this.
The best and brightest minds among us in the U.S. Senate came up with a brilliant piece of legislation.
But it just didn't work.
There's nothing we can do about it.
It is meant to institutionalize the failure to control a border.
And when I say it is meant, I said it's meant by the Democrats and the left who are sponsoring this and providing the energy behind it.
Because you see all of these hundreds of thousands today, the Democrats see votes.
And those votes to them translate to the reacquisition of their power.
And that's all this is.
Doesn't matter if it's the war on Iraq or the war on terror or illegal immigration, the Democrats will gut the country in order to get their power back.
And then they'll do what they think they have to, if anything, to fix it later.
Brief timeout.
We'll get to your phone calls.
I've got a couple of other thoughts left on this that I wish to share with you.
And we'll be right back and continue.
Talent on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh, your host for life.
Not retiring until every America agrees with me.
Now, let me ask you a question about all this.
It's clear that the Democrats and the American left, and some Republicans, they want to get behind this movement.
They want to be seen by the people protesting today as friendly.
Ted Kennedy, uh, the Democrats are just ecstatic, they're excited about this.
They see all these new voters.
It gives you an idea where their outreach is.
They have to st they have to target felons and illegal immigrants in order to have a chance at reacquiring power.
Now, do you think that uh these protests are going to get the Democrats anywhere?
Do you think these protests will advance the Democratic cause?
Do you think they'll advance the cause of Republicans who are behind them?
Because I know they think they do.
Ted Kennedy thinks he's going to benefit big from this.
Ted Kennedy and the boys, the Democrats think, oh, this is Nirvana, folks, they got their new civil rights.
They think this is just heaven sent.
I wonder.
I think they're going to be dead wrong.
Uh I think that's this is this is another jump the shark moment, if you if you will.
I wouldn't surprise me if the more this stuff happens, the more a sleeping giant will be awakened in the form of the American people.
My sense is that when you people look at these crowds, you say, what the hell's going on?
Say, how can our politicians and government allow tens of millions of foreigners into the country like this and not want to do anything about it?
We don't know who these people are.
We don't know whether they're criminals, what their medical conditions are, and yet we all end up paying to subsidize them.
And the liberals, and this includes, including the Republicans, they could use whatever taglines they like in trying to spin what's occurring.
Uh, but the American people are not stupid.
I mean, you can see what's going on with your own eyes.
And it wouldn't surprise me if there's going to be a backlash on this soon, that this is a huge wake-up call.
Now notice that all the media coverage talks about immigrants now and immigration.
Narry a word about illegal.
It's not put there.
And that is more intentional propaganda.
It is intended to upset legal immigrants.
As I said earlier, this is not about bashing President Bush because he's one, he's with them on this.
This is purely an opportunity to advance the causes of socialism and winning their power back.
And and and the the the sad thing here is that the Republicans who are on the same side as the protesters, the McCain's and the and the others uh have now helped to unleash forces that could doom O6 electoral prospects for Republicans.
You just can't keep ignoring your base like this and expect them to understand and come out and vote for you.
If if if if you are upset about this, what are you gonna do?
You're gonna rush out and vote Republican tomorrow?
No.
I mean, there's some solid Republicans out there, don't misunderstand, but not in the Senate leadership on this, and I don't know where the White House is on this.
I I that's Kennedy's dead right about this in one sense.
And this is why I get frustrated and damn frustrated.
I'll be honest with you all about this.
It seems that we are reluctant.
I talked about this on Friday.
We've got so many Democrat necks stuck out, ready for the guillotine because of scandal on their part.
And we don't pursue it.
We don't ignore it.
And the same thing here.
We don't use this to undermine their base with blue-collar workers in the civil rights movement.
The civil rights movement is being splintered here.
You're not hearing about it in the mainstream press.
But in the civil rights coalition, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, there's a little bit of unease here at how eager the Democrats are to make this, the illegal immigrant population, the new civil rights movement.
There's a sense of competition here.
And of course, the the when you are a constituency of the Democratic Party, what's the competition for?
The competition's for their attention to make you the number one minority so that you get the largess or the majority of it in both policy and money.
And there are people who think they own that right.
They are they they are the permanent minority.
They're the number one minority, they're the chosen minority, and the Democrats who better not abandon this.
This is the same thing with big labor.
Blue-collar workers are being totally ignored.
There's a fissure occurring in big labor.
Some organizations of big labor, not all, are uncomfortable watching the Democrats on this.
You've got big companies, you get the Chamber of Commerce in Washington pushing hard for this bill for illegal immigration.
And it's not because they care about Mexicans, but it's because they want cheap labor.
And let me tell you one of the reasons why corporations want cheap labor.
And you small business operators and large business operators will understand when I say this because it affects you both the same way.
Cheap labor is a way to circumvent all of the socialist big government regulations that have been imposed on employer employee relations for the past sixty-five years with the ascendancy of liberalism since the days of FDR.
It's a hassle to start a business.
People do it, but it's a hassle.
There are regulations, you gotta hire certain people, can't hire certain people, you've got to hire the incompetent just to make up for racial quotas, all these kind of things.
The paperwork is is is unending.
And so after a while, folks, uh the you know the things seek their own level.
And so cheap labor is one of the ways of dealing with all of these mindless and since it put it to you this way not only cheap labor, but illegal.
If they if you know that they're not going to track you down and fine you and get rid of your workforce, then what do you have to worry about?
And who cares if they're paying Social Security taxes or not, or if you have to, as a businessman, because if you don't have to, that's one less burden on you.
Uh and if you know that people are not going to come after you from the from the government, then what's to stop you?
And this legislation with no enforcement in it whatsoever can say anything, and it's not going to change anything.
Kennedy sees this.
Ted Kennedy sees this.
He's okay, we're going to get these people into our country, we're going to make them citizens, we're going to get them used to entitlements, we're going to get them registered as Democrats.
He's right that the Democrats will win here if open borders continues as a policy.
Because the Republicans can't, Republicans cannot win.
The Democrats will get the votes, Republicans will not.
There are some Republicans that think if we pander to this group of people, they'll vote for us.
If we act like we care, we're going to treat them as the backbone of America.
But unless we're prepared to get into an actual war over who can give away more benefits, the best and fastest, we're not going to get the vote because these people are being sponsored by Democrats.
This is a total Democrat and leftist move, and they are being they're being encouraged to do this.
There is a support system in this country for people legal or not, as you well know.
And whether it be it health or unemployment, food stamps, I don't care what it is.
The Democrats are simply the ones who are going to promise this.
And why would you vote for people who simply pandering to you, as in Republicans, when you can vote for the real socialist ideal in the Democratic Party candidate?
It's nuts.
So in essence, what do we have here?
We have these businesses and Republicans laying the foundation for a near permanent liberal Democrat majority in decades ahead.
That's apparently what's going on here.
And there's no better place to look at that if you if you, and I'm not trying to scare you, there's time to stop this.
Don't misunderstand.
I'm not trying to be negative, but you got to be realistic at the same time.
And if if you if you think I'm a little bit um uh uh shall I say, exaggerated when I say that the Republicans, by playing along with this, and along with the Democrats are laying the foundation for a near permanent liberal Democrat majority, uh take a look at California.
Take a look at what's happening in California.
Schwarzenegger's success there is due to his fame and personality.
He's abandoned whatever conservatism he had for the most part.
Now, what's happening?
Citizens and businesses are pouring out of there.
Citizens and businesses are pouring out of California a whole host of reasons taxes have to be high in order to support this this this permanent underclass.
But there comes a point uh when illegal labor becomes so oppressive in terms of subsidizing social services that even those who may have once benefited from it are forced to run and leave.
Yeah, you may be able to hire a le illegal to clean your bathroom and not pay them very much, but when the influx of such people gets to be so large that taxes have to be raised to pay for their their social services and so forth, then the money you're saving hiring cheap labor is long wiped out, and you end up fleeing too.
It it's this it's beginning to look like a circus, like in Latin America and in Europe.
Now let me ask you a question.
I I I was trolling around on the internet today, and I went to this place called uh whizbangblog.com.
Uh whiz is WIZ, and there's a picture.
Along with the article.
And here's the headline of the article Democrats recruiting at illegal immigrant protests.
A number of photos were taken at yesterday's Dallas illegal immigrant protest, including this one of a Democrat recruitment flyer encouraging Mexican immigrants to vote for Democrats in 2006.
Now they've got a picture on this, a graphic on this thing.
The top of the of the voter pamphlet.
It says, Your voice matters, make sure you are heard.
Vote Democrat in 2006.
Then there's a circular icon logo.
The center is a map.
The map has have you seen this.
Texas and Mexico as one.
Let's work together, vote Democrat in 2006.
Texaco.
Texas and Mexico as one entity.
Now remember this march was in Dallas.
They probably had another book for marches in Arizona that shows Arizona, and then another one for New Mexico, which shows and then one for California, which shows California and Mexico is one.
Now the fact that the Democrats are recruiting at these protests, I mean, it's not a surprise.
It fits into their big picture of race and politics, uh, which is why the Flyers' visual puts Texas and Mexico together.
The Democrats do.
You know, they look at people and they see groups.
They look at an individual, they see a group.
They classify people based upon race and then work to corner the racial voting collectives in every group.
At this point, the white vote's already split down the middle, half voting Democrat, half Republican, basically.
Let me ask you this.
The Republicans want to pander.
Republicans want these votes too.
I assume that's why we uh have Republican sponsors of this silly legislation.
So Republicans want these voters too.
That's why we're pandering to them, right?
So my question is this are there Republicans recruiting at these illegal immigrant protests?
Have the Republicans put out a pamphlet?
Is uh anybody from the RNC recruiting?
Of course not.
You know why not?
Because they're now welcome.
They wouldn't be, can you imagine if a bunch of Republicans went into this crowd today and said vote Republicans started handling it.
There'd be violence.
You get stomped on, beat up, there'd be busted heads all over the place.
And yet somehow the Republicans think that they can get these people's votes by pandering.
Democrats out there recruiting.
This is a huge, big Democrat effort.
All these protests are, this is what they excel at.
And I guess the Republicans and McCain and all of the, I guess they're blind to it.
Uh and you've got the usual suspects behind this, the radical left, the anti-war left, the hate America crowd joined by the Democratic hierarchy, and they're all going to be showing up at various locales making speeches to these people.
Anyway, I got to run a quick timeout.
Sit tight, back with more in a moment.
So if you're watching television today, you're reading websites, you're gonna see that immigration marches are taking place all over the country.
And since the word's gone out to the protesters this time to wave your American flags and leave the Mexican flags at home, uh, then what you're going to see on television are immigrants with narry a word about illegal waving American flags around.
And then probably later this week we're going to get a poll.
It says something more than 55% of the American people support the immigrants in their marches.
I know how these people in the drive-by media work, folks.
And when you understand that all of this is oriented around the reacquisition of power by the Democratic Party, the liberal left, you'll understand everything that's uh that's going on.
Some people said in the email, hey Rush, that flyer that the Democrats are handing out, did they hand it out in Dallas yesterday with the with the map showing Texas and Mexico as one entity?
How come it wasn't printed in Spanish?
It was.
It was on the back side, it was in Spanish.
On the front side, it was English.
Got to be able to, the media has to be able to read it, know what you're passing out, so uh and the American people have to see it too.
So anyway, you watch, there'll be a poll.
Oh, yeah, we we love immigrants in America.
We love the way they have become the backbone.
We love the way they love our country.
Support waving the American flag.
Yes, there's wonderful series of protests.
Not one mention of the word illegal in any of this.
Kathy in Gainesville, Florida.
Uh we'll take you first.
Welcome to the program today.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Go right ahead.
Um, my comment on the protesters.
He asked, Well, what is the first thing that we thought of?
Um, and the first thing I thought of is this why aren't they doing this in their own countries?
Why don't they go back to their country and and protest to their government to uh improve the economic conditions in their country so that's well because the this the the Mexican government's not like the French government with which caves inside of two weeks, uh uh the Mexican government is not gonna is not gonna the Mexican government has they want, they believe in a permanent underclass doing junk work.
That is one of the ways they maintain uh their their money to elites maintain their status.
And we've got people in this country who it's not a bad idea.
We ought to bring the influx, it's a way to keep wages down.
Uh I'll tell you something, folks.
If if uh people without high school diplomas and and and uh uh junk wages were the route to economic prosperity, the Mexicans would be running rings around us.
Uh a lot of the other Latin American countries uh would too.
In some of these Latin American countries, not all, if you protest, you get shot, uh, you get put in jail.
But at the same time, it is a way of life.
They do protest.
They do protest in a lot of places in Mexico, in Mexico City, they protest over economic uh circumstances quite a lot, but it's never gonna change.
And they're not interested in reviving their economy for that sector uh to build it up so the people will stay.
That's not that's not what they're uh not what they're interested in.
Pure and simple.
Uh, but the Democratic Party sees votes here.
And the Republican Party, for some asinine reason, thinks that they've got votes out there too.
But the Democrats see votes.
I don't care.
Nothing else matters.
Union people, some of the union guys, they see potential new members.
Well, yeah, bring these people in, we'll make them members of the union, we'll collect more dues, and we'll pass out more goodies to the union bosses, and we'll get the percentage of the workforce that is members of uh unions in on the increase because it's been declining.
Some union members are union leaders don't see it that way.
They they look at it for what it is, seeing the organized workforce continually undermined.
Uh but the Democrats know where else Jesse Jackson gonna take his people, they're not gonna vote Republican, they think.
And uh, same thing with big labor.
The Democrats, they're not gonna abandon us, where else have they got to go?
There's a lot of uh calculating going on out there, a lot of it miscalculating.
Just gonna take time for it to um materialize in ways that we'll understand.
Back in just a second, my good buddies.
My friends, I'm not kidding you.
We have a new study out on the ugly.
And it says that uh ugly uh people tend to lose their kids more in malls and movie theaters and so forth because they're too busy being preoccupied with their own misery at being ugly to pay attention.
I am not making this up.
