Time Text
Thanks, one and all.
It is the second hour of the Rush Limbaugh Show on the last day of August, and an eventful August it has been.
I'm Mark Davis of WBAP in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Be with you today and tomorrow, and in Markstein, Wednesday, and Thursday, Walter Williams on Friday.
Rush back a week from today with a couple of golf stories, I'm thinking.
So enjoy the week, sir, and we'll keep the ship navigating through these fascinating topical waters in your absence.
Phone number is still there, and glad you're still listening.
1-800-282-2882.
1-800-282-2882.
All right, we're going to continue on some of the narratives that we've got going from the first hour.
Let me just toss in a couple of things that I haven't had a chance to mention, just a few more layers of topicality that we can go with.
And one of them has a bit of audio attached to it.
I flight tested this during the break, and it ought to work.
And we really went the entire first hour without really mentioning anything about the Ted Kennedy funeral, or not much, anyway.
And so the things to be said about it are kind of like the things to be said about his life.
It kind of depends.
I mean, the human decency angle says lovely day of remembrance and virtually all classy and dignified.
No weird Paul Wellstone memorial service moment broke out.
Sense of decorum wrapped itself around virtually the whole thing, except one thing that we can visit about if you like, or I'll just put this in your head and you can run with it and do whatever you like.
And disagree with me if you wish.
1-800-282-2882.
Here's where I'm headed.
If during the eulogies, people, I would expect during eulogies of a political figure for people to have admiration for what that guy stood for.
I mean, at the Reagan funeral, there are multiple references to things he did that were the Reagan side of our political battles for lower taxation and rebuilding the military, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, SDI, things like that.
You would expect that.
President Reagan was not Catholic, so he did not have a Catholic Mass, and so they did not have what are called the general intercessions or the prayers of the faithful.
This is something most closely identified with Catholicism, but there are similar incarnations of it with Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists, and various other folks.
But those of you who have been to a Catholic Mass or a Catholic know full well you reach that point of the Mass where it's time to hit your knees and be asked a few things to pray for.
Things that, generally speaking, one would think are universally agreed upon.
The form taken is a list of things.
For this, we pray to the Lord, and the congregation replies, Lord, hear our prayer.
Ordinarily, they tend to be religious goals or thoroughly uncontroversial, noble goals.
I mean, if somebody is some public figure, somebody in the congregation is in a hospital dying, we pray for his salvation, and for this we pray to the Lord, and the congregation replies, Lord, hear our prayer.
When politics are invoked, it's usually in a thoroughly innocuous way, giving our leaders the strength, energy, and wherewithal to tackle a large plate of our nation's problems.
For them, we pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer, comes the response.
Can you imagine for a moment, in, let's say, the death of a conservative Catholic politician, if in the general intercessions, the prayers of the faithful, Lord, since Congressman Smith or Jones worked so hard for a flat tax, boy, let's get one.
We pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Can you imagine for Congressman Smith?
He fought so doggedly for the privatization of Social Security.
Let's bring that about for that.
We pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.
I mean, can you imagine?
Can you imagine the hijacking and politicization of a portion of the Catholic mass?
Well, you don't have to imagine it.
You can hear it.
And tasked with delivering this was one of Senator Kennedy's grandchildren.
So let me just let you hear this, and this will strike you one way or the other.
You tell me.
The youngest child of one of his nieces will offer the intercessions.
Each time, please respond, Lord, hear our prayer.
Teddy served for 47 years, and he summoned us all to service.
And so these intercessions are in his words.
For the work of his life is our prayer for our country and our world.
Max Allen, Cara's other child.
Charlie Gibson's voiceovers from the ABC coverage.
For what my grandpa called the cause of his life, as he said so often, in every part of this land, that every American will have decent quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.
We pray to the Lord.
I hope that I have surrounded myself with a sufficient objectivity on this.
Well, actually, in fact, I asked, can you imagine?
Let me make more clear.
If following the death of a conservative politician whose legacy I actually admired, if on that occasion they hijacked the general intercessions for matters of earthly politics, don't go toward abortion.
There's a little, obviously, if somebody wants to pray for some clarity on protecting the unborn, that's fine.
That goes a little beyond politics.
That is the morality of the actual church.
But on things that are left to us to decide, more or less government, higher or lower taxes, you know, government or non-government options in healthcare, social security, da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Let me be the first to tell you that I would be the first to tell you that I was offended by the hijacking of the general intercessions, even for a political goal that I admired.
You just don't do that.
But these people do.
Because only they are virtuous.
Only they have our best interests at heart.
To oppose them is to embody evil.
And so it's really not particularly surprising.
There's an irony here because isn't it Republicans?
Isn't it conservatives who usually get their chops busted for improper commingling of faith and politics?
Well, I can't remember the last time we pulled a stunt like this.
So just thought I'd share, because to have the general intercessions let off with a grandchild of Teddy, and God bless that grandchild.
He is blameless in this, of course.
Essentially asking for the gathered congregation to drop to its knees and pray for Obamacare.
I hope you will pardon my unfettered revulsion about this.
In our first hour, we talked about, you know, here we are, T-minus week and a half to 9-11.
Well, it looks like we'll pass another 9-11 without another set of attacks.
And that's certainly a good thing.
We talked a little bit about the notion of people speaking of hijackings, a particularly poignant verb to use with 9-11, folks who will try to commandeer 9-11 to bring about certain political things, green jobs, green activism, blah, blah, blah.
If you want to go fight for those things, go do it.
But can you please leave 9-11 out of it?
9-11 is about remembrance of those we lost, remembrance of how and why we lost them, which is difficult for some.
And if it is a call to anything, if it's a call to any kind of action, let it be the kind of actions that prevent things like this from happening again.
And hopefully, a call to action to revive the American sense of memory.
You remember, have you ever had your local talk show hosts or anybody on the national scene talk about how often or how seldom we see those planes flying into the World Trade Center?
When's the last time you saw them?
And how often have you actually seen that?
Does that get you all freshly, righteously indignant?
Well, it should.
And I don't know what it takes in this country that copes all too well with things like 9-11.
I'm not looking to run that every hour on every cable channel and say, you know, so that we can have everybody want to go bomb portions of the Middle East.
But we really have just lost focus on what was done to us and lost focus on what's necessary to keep it from happening again.
So we brought that up.
The reason I mentioned that is some folks are on that subject, either loosely or tightly.
So let's see where this goes.
1-800-282-2882.
1-800-282-2882 on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Let's go to Yonkers, New York.
Francesco, Mark Davis in for Rush.
Very nice to have you.
Hello.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Hi.
Yeah, you guys were jumping around a lot of topics, and that's what I originally called for.
I think it's absolutely disgusting what they're doing with this and hijacking it.
And actually, this is the first time I could see the government actually commercializing the event and using it for their benefit, for their agenda.
I mean, nothing should be tied to this event except for trying to kill as many terrorists as possible in this world and consoling the victims and anything you can do to make them, you know, by building memorials and this and that.
I mean, nothing should be attached.
And I'm actually an environmental engineer.
I studied at the Manhattan College over here in the Bronx, New York.
I mean, I'm all for the environment when it comes to certain things.
But I mean, this is absolutely ridiculous to tying anything green to this event.
Yeah, and just let me do what I did a couple of minutes ago on the same thing.
If someone wanted to take an unrelated conservative goal, a goal that I admired, I don't know, let's take 9-11 as an opportunity to focus on the need for a flat tax or a sales tax.
I'm sorry, please.
It's blasphemy.
Stop it.
9-11 is 9-11.
Let's fight our political battles for or against green initiatives, for or against tax reform, and leave 9-11 out of it and maintain the purity of what 9-11 recollections ought to be.
Appreciate it, man.
Thank you.
Thank you enormously.
We are, let's say, let's do it.
Let's take the pause, come back, and rejoin some folks.
It's funny, just in talking to Francesco there and in Yonkers, I see the Manhattan skyline a few times a year.
I just love getting up there.
It's just always a joy.
And there's a picture on a shelf in my house.
It is of my wife and me on the Staten Island Ferry.
You could not have asked for a more opportune framing of that.
And it's been hanging, it's been hanging.
It's been there forever and ever since.
But I walk by that picture and I look at it, and there's still a jolt because over her right shoulder are the World Trade Centers.
Was taken on the 4th of July weekend of 2001.
Those towers were to stand for mere weeks more.
And I get back every once in a while, and it's still, I don't know, it's like you see a portrait of somebody missing a nose.
You see a familiar logo with a letter missing.
It's like there's just something missing.
What goes into that space?
Where are we on all of that?
You remember the ideas we had?
I remember my favorite one was to rebuild the World Trade Centers exactly as they looked so that the skyline would precisely mirror what it looked like at dawn on September 11th.
Oh, they've got all these spires and all of this and all of that and all these things planned.
And there'll be something in that space at some point, I guess.
But I still kind of liked my idea.
And I don't know.
I mean, eight years, what?
I mean, it's taking us this long.
That whole thing.
And I know there are real estate issues and various things and competing interests and what ought to be there.
Should it be like a big tombstone or should it be a vibrant building where people, I'll just throw this in before we break.
Please let's have, there's a lot of acreage there.
If you've been there, there's a lot of acreage.
There should absolutely be space for solemn remembrance of the victims of 9-11.
But you know what?
There ought to be at least as much?
A building where people go to work.
What greater honor could we give the ordinary working Americans who died that day than to create a place where other ordinary working Americans can go?
That's just me.
You tell me.
1-800-282-2882-Mark Davis in for Rush on the EIB Network.
You're listening to the EIB Network.
It is the Rush Limbaugh Show for a Monday, August 31st.
I'm Mark Davis filling in from WBAP, Dallas, Fort Worth.
Let's head to another big city Rush Limbaugh affiliate, the Mighty 640 WGST in Atlanta, where David is in the listenership.
It's nice to have you, sir.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you doing?
Very well.
Thanks.
All right.
I'm calling here a little bit upset the way that you hijacked the prayers of the faithful and the Catholic Mass.
I did?
You did.
What did I do?
All right.
Now, basically, you are saying that basic medical care should not have been part of a religious service.
That, I believe, is your thesis.
Well, let me help you with my thesis by telling you what it is, and that is that socialized medicine should not have been asked for in the general intercessions.
Okay, now let us go back to the latest encyclical by Benedict XVI, Caritas Inveritate, or charity in truth, for which the Pope says that the human person has rights, a right, not a privilege, a right to basic medical care.
Which they receive, which they receive in the United States with our magnificent safety net of indigent care.
If the verb of the day is hijack, do not hijack the Holy Father's reference to make him a necessary ally of Obama.
He may well be, but his words did not say that.
It talked about basic health care, not necessarily government-provided insurance.
You know, basically what you're doing is you're mixing your metaphors.
Well, no, I've just said so.
If you'd like to reply to it, you can.
It would be nice.
It would be nice, okay?
Sure, please.
We have Discussing the very fundamental right of an individual to have basic medical care.
Yes, it is provided.
Yes, it is done.
You're politicizing it by saying that basic medical care is Obamacare.
It is.
No, no, not at all.
You're using the term basic medical care.
People who don't, people who do not have insurance, the notion that people are somehow dying in the streets of America because they have medical needs that are not met is largely fictitious.
Because from Parkland Hospital, just up the road from where I am in Dallas, Fort Worth, famous for many other reasons, provides this every day for people who have no insurance.
They get this basic medical care.
They get it.
They receive it.
Not everybody, because there are some folks here who have cancer who can't get basic medical care.
Are you sure you want to invoke cancer to further your argument?
In view of the let's?
Let's see how this works out for you, as I invite you to examine the cancer survival rates in Canada and the United Kingdom compared to ours.
No no, no.
Now you're trying to get into social medicine.
I am not.
I am trying.
I don't care about Canada system.
I'm talking about the basic right of a human being to have basic medical care.
If an individual is out of work or develops a case of cancer, the insurance company will not accept them as a preexisting condition, and he does.
He does not have basic medical care.
Now, on pre-existing conditions, you've brought up a very valid issue and there are ways I believe in the free market system to provide insurance reform that will take care of the people whom you invoke, and properly.
So much better than a system that hands these decisions over to government.
I am not in any way, shape or form, in favor of Obamacare, no way.
My complaint with you is your politicization of the fundamental right of the Catholic system.
They understand that I.
I tell you what I i've I.
I think neither we've talked about what the pope means in his advocacy for what seems like something resembling socialized medicine.
It may be, it may be similar to what the pope means, or any pope means, when they come out against the death penalty.
It is.
It is a belief that any pope may have, but it is not scriptural.
It is not scriptural.
It's something the church has decided to advocate and that is fine.
I we can debate that all day, but i'll tell you this, i'll tell you this, at that Ted Kennedy funeral, they were talking about Obamacare and to put that in the general intercessions was was absolutely repugnant.
So appreciate you, love.
You Go Braves back in a minute on the EIBE Network.
Indeed you are, and I appreciate that.
Mark Davis at WBAP Dallas-Fort Worth.
As we head back to some more of your calls, you know something?
I'm inspired.
Let's create this golden segue.
Thomas Dolby blinded me with science.
Easy to sing, hard to say.
Let's talk about the mad science advisor for a moment, shall we?
We go to a Washington Times editorial for this.
Are we familiar with John Holdren?
I guess if you visit any blog, you probably are.
What we have, let me just go to the Times editorial.
I'm intrigued by the notion of a chief science advisor.
I mean, we've talked about czars a great deal, the pay czar, the radio czar, and the notion of czars in and of itself is what it is.
I mean, a guy I've always loved, Bill Bennett, you know, wasn't he the drug czar for another guy I love, Ronald Reagan.
So the notion of surrounding yourself with a certain panel of czars to, you know, advise you on certain things, that's fine.
How much power these folks get is kind of wild.
The pay czar with the ability to ride herd over how much private sector CEOs make?
What the heck is that?
But anyway, let's go to the science advisor here, John Holdren for President Obama.
Washington Times advises: earlier this month, Mr. Holdren served as co-chairman when the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology met for the first time.
It is a disgrace that Mr. Holdren is even on that council.
In a book called Echo Science, EcoScience, Echo Science, probably EcoScience, I don't think I'm talking about echo, hello, hello.
Eco-science, population, resources, environment, a book he co-authored in 1977 with noted doomsayers Paul and Ann Ehrlich, Mr. Holdren wrote, quote, Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion,
could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
Well, the editorial continues: in case compulsory abortion wasn't enough to defuse his imaginary population bum, Mr. Holdren and the Ehrlichs considered other extremist measures.
Quote, a program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control.
Oh, it gets worse.
The Holdren Ehrlich book also promotes adding a sterilant, learn a new word every day, I assume a sterilizing agent, to drinking water or staple foods.
After noting that, well, yes, there are very difficult political, legal, and social questions to say nothing of the technical problems, Mr. Holdren and his co-authors express hope that their idea may still be viable.
Quote, to be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements, they write.
It must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals, it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects, and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.
This becomes a Monty Python skit at this point, but it's deadly serious.
John Holdren, President Obama's chief science advisor from EcoScience, Population Resources Environment, a book he co-authored in 1977.
Wrapping up the Washington Times editorial about this: most Americans can be forgiven for thinking that mass sterilization through drinking water is never acceptable and that someone who supported such horrors should have no place on a prestigious White House council.
The question naturally arises why President Obama chooses to surround himself with extremists like Mr. Holdren.
No matter how much they claim their views have evolved, health and science under Obamacare would be a frightening prospect with people like this advising the president.
Washington Times.
It's a frightening prospect, even without people like this advising the president.
Oh, my.
All righty.
All right.
Back to your calls: 1-800-282-2882, 1-800-282-2882.
We are in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Bill, Mark Davis, in for Rush.
Very nice to have you.
Hello.
Hey, Mark.
Hey.
How are you?
How are things in Texas?
Fantastic, sir.
Thank you.
I started to sing a song to you deep in the heart of Texas.
That's it.
The stars at night are big and bright.
But that'll only force me to think about Pee Wee Herman, so I never.
This is an old 78-year-old patriot, believe in God, country, and Constitution.
Probably maybe in that order, probably about the best way I can say it.
A number of years ago, I worked as a security guard when I get to work, which is not lately.
I hadn't gotten that much, but I get some when I can when I feel like doing it on Social Security, all that stuff.
But a number of years ago, right after 9-11, I was listening to the radio, and somebody came on with this thing.
This is stupid.
I mean, he spent almost all night with it.
That's what I do when I'm on security.
What was it that made your eyebrow go up?
Well, that it was a conspiracy that they put dynamite inside the building when the planes hit.
I know.
And would you believe you still got some of them spouting that thing?
You do.
And if in our prior hour we're sitting there talking about how to keep the memories of 9-11 fresh and why it's so important to revisit, one is to maintain our proper national righteous indignation, but the other is to just hope that layers of sanity come along to supplant this.
I would offer, Bill, thank you for your thanks for hanging on and thanks for just a grand lifespan.
I appreciate you a lot.
Here's the thing.
I don't know if the ripple of this will arrive here in, what, 11 days when we have the 9-11 thing.
And if there is anything that is more repugnant than this kind of idiocy, it's when this kind of idiocy surrounds itself in something called whatever, the 9-11 truth movement, as if they deserve to even say those words.
So rather than just kick those people in the crotch, which I will gladly do given any opportunity, because it is, it's kind of funny.
Unless it's a mental illness, which in some cases it may very well be, and then that's just another whole issue.
But I think that some of these folks just have a kind of a nihilism going, kind of a, listen, we're all mistrustful of various things and don't know exactly how things work and have certain biases that send us in certain ways.
But there's something just so profoundly sick about this that it defies description.
Here's what I want to do for anybody.
If you find yourself in a conversation with one of these people, and just God help you if you do, you'd better have some time on your hands.
Just offer up the following.
And I say that just purely, again, this is like a law of physics, all right?
And I don't mean laws of physics like those that they attempt to trump up to justify their craziness.
Some things are so true that they are almost like a law of physics.
Here's what I mean.
If one-tenth of what the 9-11 conspiracy geeks observe had a grain of believability to it, the entire community of structural engineers, the entire community of people who are experts about buildings, I mean, maybe not even the entire community, you would have 60, 70, 80, 90% agreement from the people who do this for a living.
So you can stop down your moment of insanity in talking to one of these people and saying, look, I'll tell you what, let's stipulate.
Neither you nor I as a structural engineer.
Let's go to the people who are.
How many structural engineers, people who actually do this for a living, believe in the 9-11 conspiracy theories?
Well, they may be able to give you, they may have an index card with 14 names of 14 guys.
Good for them.
The answer is an infinitesimally small percentage.
An infinitesimally small percentage.
Because that's the funny thing.
When you're so motivated by and when the adrenaline coursing through your system has told you that only you have the truth and the rest of the country has to be awakened to it, it's easy for these folks to think that the entire structural engineering community agrees with them or soon will.
Well, they've had eight years and they don't.
And they don't.
So suggest, as if it will do any good, at this point, you do need to turn on your heels and run, don't walk in another direction.
Say, look, I tell you what, come back and talk to me when even half, even half of the community of structural engineers say that 9-11 is fishy.
Until then, good day and goodbye.
All right.
Mark Davison for Rush on the EIB Network, 1-800-282-2882, and we will continue.
You're listening to the EIB Network.
It is the Rush Limbaugh Show for Monday, August 31st.
And as we go to your calls, once again, arcane pop culture referenced by me that probably confused the living daylights out of everyone.
A very nice man from North Carolina calls in.
Here I am in Texas, and he offers up the wonderful, he says, I was going to sing there for you.
Do a little deep in the heart of Texas, which is, of course, the stuff of religion around here.
And I made reference that, well, probably for the best because it would have only made me think of Pee-Wee Herman.
If that left you completely stunned and bewildered, it's 10 seconds and then you'll scrub your brain.
1985, Pee-Wee's big adventure.
Pee-wee is at the Alamo and calls Dottie.
Where?
Honest.
Listen, I'll prove it.
The stars at night, a big end breath.
Pee-Weebah!
The entire crowd stops down and finishes.
All right, there you go.
All right.
You know, there's a general rule around here that if I say something that's going to require explanation, that much and of that type, probably rein it in.
All righty, I will try to observe that standard as we return to some more of your calls.
1-800-282-2882.
Let us head to Ford Leavenworth, Kansas.
Gary, Mark Davis, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
How are you?
How are you, sir?
Good, thanks.
Listen, as a professional talker, you've got to tighten up your vocabulary.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You know, first I heard you refer to the Obamacare government insurance scheme as health care, not insurance or financing.
And then you talk about Juan Williams as a clear-headed liberal.
Now, what kind of oxymoron is that?
Well, I think in the point that I actually made, I said that's a small group of people.
So it's called zero.
I love Juan Williams.
Well, that's lovely.
I do too.
I think that we are, if you take Juan Williams compared to a long list of people that you and I could compile together, Juan is just a picture of decency and even occasional clarity up against the backdrop of a whole lot of liberal punditry.
So I'll stand by that.
And obviously, health care is the issue in Obamacare, but I think I know where you're going, the conflation of the notion of health care with health insurance.
Right, right.
They use these terms interchangeably, and they imply when it's convenient that if we don't get government health insurance, people are going to die on the street.
But then when their tone wants to shift, they say this is about the big insurance companies and keeping them on us like they're dishonest now.
And it's just, it's not really discussing the issue.
You still with me?
Oh, sure.
It's really obscuring the issue and playing on people's emotions.
Gary, it's the straw man.
You're completely right about this, that it's the straw man argument, and anybody who follows logic is setting up something to oppose that no one is in fact talking about.
It arises when President Obama or his minions talk about Republicans or conservatives as wanting to do nothing.
Well, we can't do nothing.
There's no one who wants to do nothing.
What we want to do is simply different and different in a way that does not allow them to make strides toward the socialist nirvana that they crave.
Which it's like referring to being pro-abortion as pro-choice.
Well, you're really for abortions then, right?
Well, okay, if you're going to hear, this is an interesting, if you're going to talk about words, let's do talk about words.
There is indeed a way for someone to be in favor of keeping that choice open for women and hope that no one avails themselves of it.
It is possible to be literally pro-choice and hope that no one avails themselves.
That would be someone who is not literally pro-abortion.
That character type does exist.
Sadly, among our leaders, as Rush has said 1,400 times, abortion has become a bit of a sacrament that to somehow impede the quest of a woman to terminate life in the womb is to somehow shackle her with the bonds of slavery.
And so it's hard to find that kind of even-handedness among some of the folks who are fighting on the pro-choice side.
If you're intellectually honest, if you feel that people have a right to medical care, then you're saying that you're in favor of slavery, I guess, because all the people who have to work to provide it should just work for nothing.
Well, there you go.
You're going to hear a lot about it.
Gary, thanks.
You're going to hear a lot about, oh, slavery is going to be invoked all over the place.
Those of us who are daring to, well, this is now the stuff of short-term legend.
To oppose Obamacare is to be a hooded Klansman riding in the night looking for people to lynch.
And I wish I were making this up.
And the race card is being played so shamelessly.
It's kind of funny, both shameless and shameful at the same time.
That's not what it is.
That's never been what it is.
Now, look, can I find people?
Can I find a few people in America who just really hate the fact that we have a black president?
Yeah, I can.
That's not what this is about.
It's never been what it's about.
These demonic white conservatives daring to do this, who are some of their favorite people?
Clarence Thomas.
You know, through the years, because he's from a neighboring state, I wish I had a dime for every white conservative caller begging J.C. Watts to run for president.
It ain't about skin color.
It's about what's in your head and what is in your heart.
So come on.
Enough of this.
It is an obfuscation of the debate that really needs to happen, is happening in town halls all over America, is not going well for Obamacare.
