Time Text
Thanks everybody.
1-800-282-2882.
Great to have you here on the final hour of the week of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Rush will be back on Wednesday of next week.
Mark Stein filling in Monday and Tuesday.
We've got a bunch of calls we're going to take.
And I have something from the floor of the House of Representatives last night that is just energizing and wonderful.
I mean, if there is a narrative that's going on here, and we talked about this earlier, you know, it r i it took Carter to give us Reagan.
It's part of human nature, not just political nature.
When things get bad enough, people go, whoa, we gotta do something about this.
So, you know, when history books are written down the line, maybe the one shred of anything that uh that I will remember fondly about the election of Barack Obama is that it gave us uh immediate empirical evidence of what a radical leftist agenda looks like and what it does.
And it resulted in more Republicans being elected in this decade and the next than otherwise would have been.
And and the thing as we work toward that, with our fingers so tightly crossed that they're purple, uh the Republican Party, which is deserved to be batted around left and right for losing its rudder and losing its compass and whatever other metaphor you want to use, uh has has largely found it.
The Republican Party of the last year is one that I have been prouder of than in a long, long time.
And uh little example of that uh coming your way in the in the audio world.
But first, a guy who I had all excited there about seven minutes ago, but uh his his his thrill would have been crushed when his call lasted but twenty-five seconds.
Uh now much more time to head to Pittsburgh and welcome Rich to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hey Rich Mark Davis filling in, how are you?
Thank you, Mark.
I appreciate it.
You got a thought about what the Arizona folks ought to do, McCain versus Hayworth, eh?
Exactly.
And first of all, by the way, amen on the idea of being optimistic about this whole thing.
You bet.
Anyhow, as far as uh what to think about in in Arizona is back in the 2004 election, my wife and I went out to visit uh when President Bush came to the Pittsburgh area, and along with him was Arlen Spector.
And when he was introduced, when the President was introduced, everybody cheered.
When our inspector was introduced, everybody booed.
And he said, along with Rick Santorum, said, no, no, no, we need him in there because of his position and because of you know the number that we need.
And so let's let's vote him in.
Well, we did, and you saw what happened.
How that worked out for you.
Yeah, yeah.
And so not necessarily that John McCain is the same type of person, but the idea here is that we know what John McCain has done, and we know that he's it's been, as you said, mushy and squishy on a lot of the stuff that to us is very important.
And I think that if if uh Congressman Hayworth is is somebody who is more in line with what we're thinking, that's who we need to go with.
I mean, the uh you know, John has served us well.
He's done things for us that have been very good.
He also brought us McCain Feingold.
But I mean, it's a matter that I think we need to think about the fact that when we when we look at things politically and we say, well, we need to keep them in because of their position.
You know what?
There's no reason why Congressman Hayward can't be put up into position if we get enough of a majority in the Senate.
I I think that is some genius analysis.
I really do.
And in no way would I ever envision uh John McCain becoming the the kind of of Benedict Arnold that Arlene Spector did.
But that's not your point.
Your point is that when when you you take somebody because of the good parts and try to hold our nose for the bad parts, uh John McCain's good parts are on display right now.
But but what about but six years for crying out loud, it's forever.
What about 2011 and 12 and 13?
What kind of immigration uh nonsense is is he gonna be involved in?
Uh and this is the weirdest thing in the world how a guy who's tortured can be so wrong on torture.
Uh you know, maybe he's it's w we we may have some other, oh, I don't know, interrogation issues that we need people on who are clear headed about that, and for people who think how can you scoreboard John McCain, he was of the Henoy Hilton and you weren't.
I'll take my uh my my local guy representative Sam Johnson, who was there longer, tortured worse, and uh and and and is right on interrogation.
So very much a populist, so it's like, well, whichever way the wind blows, that's where he's going.
And I uh you know that that's been our problem for the longest time.
Yeah, listen, I I appreciate you.
Thank you very, very much.
Appreciate the call.
So if what is taking shape here is the notion that we will always, as conservatives, always be grateful for first of all for John McCain's general service to this country.
Please, untouchable, beyond doubt.
And for the times when he has aided the cause of conservatism, and those are not few.
We will always, always be grateful.
But there haven't been enough of those times.
And if you get caught up in the logic of, well, you know, he is what he is, but we need him now.
All right, that's not without merit.
He wields a bigger bat than J.D. Hayworth would on his first day in office.
And again, the ability to call up and get on pretty well any TV network you want at any time, that's that's not a small thing.
But that's that's very 2010 and very 2011.
What about 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015?
Man, those senatorial terms are long.
And what about when we actually have the luxury of uh of thinking about other issues?
John McCain was poisonously wrong on campaign finance reform.
Dangerously wrong on interrogations, the irony of the century.
And and and just overwhelmingly wrong on immigration.
And yeah, we're not thinking about those things so much right now because he's just hitting home run after home run after home run on issues that are very, very right now.
Well, you know what?
Give me a guy who's gonna hit home runs on every pitch, even if maybe he's not swinging the bat as hard on a couple of well, okay.
The baseball analogy is really failing.
I'm abort.
Lose this analogy immediately.
I want a guy who's right all the time, even if he's not as big a deal right now.
Okay, so there's there's level one, all right?
There's number one.
But that but does that settle it?
There, we're done with that.
Eh, not so much.
Because here's something I would know a lot more of if I were in Arizona.
Uh how red a state is Arizona.
You know, Scott Brown just won in Massachusetts.
Very cool.
I'm sure there are more conservative people than Scott who wanted to be the Republican nominee.
Uh they weren't.
And if they had been, they might have been beaten by Martha Cockley.
Then how happy are we.
I don't ever like to think or say that, well, you know, the somebody is quote unquote too conservative for that state, but guess what?
Sometimes they are.
And by that I mean that you got who can win.
So we can all feel great about getting J.D. Hayworth, you know, to to work his way past John McCain and have a more reliable conservative, but but he will only then prevail if in the general election, all Arizonans favor him.
I I and I have no doubt about I have neither a doubt about that or an assertion to the positive.
That's um that's up to y'all.
So we got some limbo audience in Arizona and about 40 minutes, uh 42 minutes of show left.
So uh give me a shot if you got a because again, if we if we stip well, let's not stipulate anything.
If if you think that McCain must be kept now because of his value right now, that that has merit.
I understand that.
But I'm thinking big picture and long term.
And um as comfortable as I am with the notion of uh of of J.D. Hayworth succeeding in his primary challenge to Senator McCain, uh, I'm not gonna be completely happy unless Mr. Hayworth can actually beat the Democrat.
How's that working out?
You ever been to Politics One dot com?
It's golden.
Politics the numeral one dot com, click on the states and it Shows you pretty well everybody running for everything.
I need to read more Arizona newspapers.
Look at all these D's.
Rudy Garcia, former mayor of Bell Gardens, California.
Oh, okay.
Tucson City Councilman Rodney Glassman.
Stuart Starkey, teacher ex-business.
Bless his heart.
Teacher.
If you ever see one thing on a Politics One or on anybody's profile, if you ever see frequent candidate, and I'm sure Stewart's a good guy, and I know I know nothing about him, but generally that's a label that essentially means someone with a lot of time on their hands.
They just keep coming back and back and back.
So I don't know.
I you know, there's nobody in the Democrat ranks I've heard of, so maybe Hayworth uh uh you know wins in a walk against any of these folks.
Oh no.
Uh-huh.
So anyway.
But the here here's the deal.
It's the same deal as everywhere.
What do I want in Arizona in that Senate seat?
The most conservative senator that can win.
There you go.
There you go.
Now now you all figured out.
It's your deal.
And let me know what you think about uh about any of that.
Okay.
Uh more of your calls here in a second, but um I've I don't know about you, but I've never watched so much C-SPAN in my life as the last weeks and months.
And please, I'm doing what I do for a living, I'm watching some C-span.
But I just want to just take notes about everybody and gather audio from everybody for my own local show here in in Texas.
And just to kind of be well versed on on what people are saying on my side and the other side, because that's how you figure out what you think.
And um I got a couple of minutes, and I'll I'll just I'll flat tell you that it's a huge name drop, but it's just absolutely true.
I'm gonna let you hear some audio from a friend of mine.
And after you hear him, he'll be a friend of yours.
Uh both a congressman and if you got a guy who's a congressman and he's on your side, that's cool.
This healthcare thing, you got a guy who's a congressman on your side and he's a doctor too.
Oh, bonus.
Little audio you'll enjoy next, and then the the other sound I crave, the sound of your calls at 1-800-282-2882.
Mark Davis Inforush.
It's Friday, and we will continue.
It's the Friday Rush Limbo Show.
I'm Mark Davis filling in from WBAP Dallas, Fort Worth.
Our area, our state, our metropolitan area, has provided the nation with some interesting politicians.
I mean, New York, California, other places can make the same claim because they're big and it's a lot of people from you know, from two Bush presidencies, LBJ and uh Senator K. Bailey Hutchison already mentioned some folks that maybe you don't know, like Sam Johnson, Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensling.
There are a lot of folks around here where I live, and I'm proud every day uh to call these folks my friends and partners in trying to fight this nonsense.
Uh in 2002, uh we had a little uh question to settle around here, and that's called who's going to be Dick Army's successor, as he uh returned to private life, which he is enormously enjoying.
I'll have you know.
Uh but it with the answer to that question wound up being uh doctor and now Congressman Michael Burgess.
And if you're gonna come to the floor of the House with some Republican conservative arguments about Obamacare, oh by the way, have a medical degree, gives you a little extra something.
And so this is last night, okay.
Last night, 26th District of Texas, uh a friend of mine and a friend of yours, a friend to anybody who's looking to uh uh to slay this dragon and try to achieve some kind of health care reform that will actually help people.
Just just for a moment or so here.
Uh Congressman Michael Burgess, M.D. It's ironic, isn't it?
Two days ago, a bill was signed that is gonna fundamentally transform the way health care is delivered in this country for the next three generations.
And 48 hours later, we're back on the floor of this house trying to fix the problems in this bill, because, Mr. Speaker, we all know when the Senate passed this bill Christmas Eve, they didn't intend for this bill to become law.
This was never the vehicle that was intended to be passed through this house.
This was a bill that was passed to get the Senate out of town before a snowstorm on Christmas Eve.
They always plan to come back and fix it in conference, but because of an election in Massachusetts, those plans went by the wayside.
The Speaker of the House said in January, I don't have a hundred members who will vote for this bill.
And yet, somehow, the line being the shortest distance between two points, we ended up passing this bill on Sunday night when we hoped.
We hoped the American people were not looking at us.
But we did pass it.
And now we've got to come back tonight and fix the problems.
We will be back next week.
We will be back the week after that.
This bill is going to require significant fixes probably for the remainder of my lifetime on this earth.
This was probably the worst product we could have put out there for the American people.
And what about the insurance company if their stock prices going up?
Of course they went up.
They got everything they wanted.
What did they want when this year started?
They wanted an individual mandate and no public option.
Guess what, ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly what they got.
Who is standing on the side of the insurance companies?
Who is standing on the side of the people?
I think you've got that wrong.
What about pharma?
They got everything they want.
Yeah, you can close the donut hole, but you gotta buy brand name drugs, and oh yeah, you can't import drugs from overseas.
So I could go on, and heaven knows he could and did.
Uh Congressman and Dr. Michael Burgess, and the reason I played that for a couple of reasons.
Number one, I just love it.
Uh number two, uh it there's a lot of truth in there about the timing and the motivation.
And number three, you know, be careful before you go toss it around enormous broad sweeping generalities of who's on whose side.
Uh the notion uh that I, by my wish for private sector reforms and somehow some some shill or toady for the insurance companies.
No.
I mean, I I give the same uh I want to give the same leeway to the insurance companies that I give to every other private sector business in America, and that is to do uh what the market calls for and do so following the law.
Now, what's the law going to be?
I mean, how much regulation are we going to have?
That's a debate we've got to have.
And I yearn for that debate.
I long for that debate.
It's going to involve some moments in which we say that the law is gonna make some companies do some stuff.
I mean, it's not ever gonna be a complete libertarian, laissez-faire, you know, throw everything to the wind uh kind of world.
It's it's just not.
It it's just not.
There'll be a debate between some who want more government uh uh involvement and some who want less.
I want as little as possible to have a workable system.
But are there gonna be some laws that say, you know what, there's some people you're not going to be able to dump.
You know what?
If somebody leaves a job, maybe there's going to be portability.
You know what?
Maybe you're gonna have some some fine-tuning as to what your pre existing condition policies are.
Okay, but let's find some regulatory measures that, oh, dare I dream three quarters of America can can approve of.
Uh because what we've got now is is a bill passed against the will of the American people.
And look, that's gonna happen.
It's going to happen.
I understand that.
Elections have consequences.
But now, I mean, this is but one battle in the midst of a war.
And pardon that imagery, but within the political meaning of that, that's what it is.
It's a war for for the kind of values that this and that what a huge red flag word that is.
I know values.
Oh my gosh, what does that mean?
I'll tell you what it means.
One of one of my favorite American values is leaving people alone to do what they wish and make the best life for themselves that they can.
In terms of health care, it means leaving alone the parts of the system that really work and work well and not trashing them so that we can bring about some sort of neo-European model.
Last thing for for this half hour.
And we'll come back after the bottom of the hour break here and do Wall-Doul calls up to the top.
Earlier in the show, there was a guy who said, and you'll find guys saying this on talk shows all over, that that this president is seeking to destroy this country.
And and um and and did I instantly can I tend to stop people and say, come on, tap the brakes when I think it's warranted.
Uh here's why I didn't do that.
I know the guy's not talking about laying waste to it like some Godzilla movie or that you know, there was just the smoking, hulking ruins of our buildings and our cities with piles of corpses in the street.
No.
Not talking about the literal de facto in front of your face, destruction of America.
He's talking about the loss of the destruction of, if you will, the the country that used to be, where free enterprise and and liberty held sway.
I mean, five, ten, fifteen, twenty years from now, we'll still call it the United States of America.
I'll still be in a place that's called Dallas Fort Worth.
You'll still be in some place called Atlanta or Charleston, South Carolina or Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
But it will not be the America that our founders envisioned, and it will not be the America that you grew up in.
It will be something very different unless we are vigilant.
And by the kind of America I want, I don't mean that it's got to follow my rule on everything.
There's going to be conservatives, there are going to be liberals, there's going to be left, there's going to be right, and I love that.
That is the America I want and the America I grew up in.
But this is a whole nother smoke, man.
This is not about I mean Clinton and Carter were presidents I disagreed with.
This guy, but I didn't think they wanted to transform America.
This guy does, and we can't let it happen.
Mark Davis back in a moment.
It's the home stretch, final half hour of the Rush Limbaugh show for the day for the week.
Mark Stein in on Monday and Tuesday, and Rush back on Wednesday.
I was uh you know trying to finish three sentences at once there at the uh wow, that never happens.
Uh but I think it really is true.
If if if you had an eyebrow raised, uh I I really mean this, and come on, trust me on it.
I'm am I remember the Carter years.
I know painful though that may be.
Remember the Clinton years.
I know, I know, I know.
Don't those seem like almost oddly uh I don't want to be flippant.
I Clinton and Carter were presidents I disagreed with.
I know as a grown-up I'm going to get some presidents I disagree with throughout life.
There goes some guys I vote for are gonna win, some guys I vote for are gonna lose.
When there's a guy I didn't vote for in office, by and large, I've never thought like the country was hanging off the precipice or it was a presidency I disagreed with.
You know, the pendulum swings, our guys will hold sway, you know, and and that doesn't mean that I was nonchalant about the ruinous Carter years, or uh that I've lost my uh the my opposition in retrospect, you know, to the Clinton tax hikes and various other things.
But these, these people, this culture that President Obama has brought in with him.
Not just the fact that they're classless vulgarians, but the the sheer magnitude of what they seek to do.
And and he did us the favor of telling us about it.
Transformica.
Change.
It's kind of funny.
Ask any voter, hey, you looking for change?
Sure, I'm looking for this to change or that to change, something about America.
I'd like to change this thing about the country, change that thing about this law, change this, change that, sure, and hopefully things get better.
Yeah.
Um he was talking about more of a change with a capitalist C, kind of like changing America into something else.
And that's the kind of thing that has awakened so many folks.
How many people do you know who have said something like the following?
You know, uh I wasn't real politically active till the last year or so.
You know, I sort of followed the train of events, no dee do-de-do.
Uh but now, golly, I'm I'm all, you know, plugged in, um fired up, ready to go, if I can dare reclaim those words.
Um how many of those folks are there?
I guess we're gonna find out in November, aren't we?
Okay, phones, phones, phones.
Let's see what's going on here.
Uh it is uh 1-800-282-2882 on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Always go to Rush Limbaugh.com, even on the days when Rush is not here.
All righty, we are in uh Charleston, South Carolina, fine city.
Hi, Matt, Mark Davis in for Rush.
How are you?
I'm great, Mark.
How are you doing today?
I'm good, thank you.
Hey, uh I like you recently have been watching C Spam and uh I watched that uh House debate last Sunday before they voted.
And when Boehner stood up and said, you know, can you say that this process has been transparent and that this wasn't done behind closed doors?
And all the Democrats had the audacity to yell, yes.
And then he said, Can you say that there are no sweetheart deals in this bill?
And again, they stood up and yelled, yes.
And I'm sure his blood was boiling at that point as well.
Well, he sort of drowned them out with a hell no, because he had the microphone.
Pardon the French there, but that was that was that was his repeated quote and uh and one that earned him a lot of affection.
Yeah, well, then when Pelosi got up, and in such an arrogant and a smug way, told lie after lie after lie, this is gonna reduce the deficit.
Okay, as we're spending 940 billion as guesstimated now, probably gonna be more like a couple trillion.
Yep.
I I gotta tell you, I couldn't help but thinking.
If I was in that chamber, I would walk down the aisle and just smack her in the face.
I rather doubt it.
I have to say, though, that I am proud of the restraint that our side has shown in the face of this uh front full-on frontal assault.
I mean, and it's they're coming after us with these allegations of the the uh slurs and the spitting.
Don't you think that's kind of uh convenient and what and nobody's what's extremely important is I think what you shared with me about 60 seconds ago was one of those things that's fun to think about, but which you would not pardon not fun to think about.
You know, it's our but that you would not in any way actually do.
Well, of course, the reason for that is that those of us who are so repelled by what these folks are doing, uh we're also repelled at the notion of of stooping to violence to do it.
I mean, that's what they do.
Let me know.
Look at an anti-war rally.
Bush is Hitler, look at the pounding on his limo when he visited Portland, Oregon.
There's a Bill Salmon book that's opening chapter of uh was it strategy or whichever one that it was that that Salmon wrote about the opening Bush years.
I mean, this this getting so unhinged that you that you get violent.
That that's that's a left wing thing far more often than not.
So let's suppress, as we well, that's suppressing requires uh suggests that it requires effort.
Let's remain, not the people who do that.
Now can you find a handful of people who have, you know, made unfortunate phone calls or r repulsive and vile things.
Sure, there's a handful of people doing that.
And the left has turned them into the poster children for the Tea Party movement.
Look, there's what healthcare opponents act like.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
You want to see what healthcare opponents act like?
Watch us vote.
Watch us vote.
Watch us endanger the political lives of these people on the second of November.
And let us be judged not just by the merit of what we say, but by the propriety of the tactics that we use.
Matt, thank you.
Appreciate it enormously.
All righty.
Next up, we are in Sussex County, New Jersey.
Roseanne, Mark Davis in for Rush.
Welcome.
How are you?
Hello, Mark.
Hey.
Hey.
Anyway, you could talk to Kingdom Time about what the problems are in this country, and we'd all agree with you.
The question is, what are we going to do about it?
And here in New Jersey, we actually found something we can do about it.
And we we have to get these men and women, and we have to get them out of our house.
And there is an option in New Jersey.
Our laws are very, very clear.
It's called recall.
And we are making every effort we can in the garden state to put Senator Robert Menendez on the ballot.
And uh on the on the on the exit ramp ballot, on the ballot for return to private life.
Okay.
Well, a quick couple of questions.
Sure.
Uh vast majority of people who have even dreamed of recalling anybody, 99.9% of those have failed.
And there's a reason why.
Because the everybody knows the next election is usually the way you get rid of somebody.
So what is there that and please let me know because you're in New Jersey, and I'm not.
What is there that makes you think this has a lick of a chance?
Well, first of all, look at Scott Brown.
Nobody ever thought that a Republican could hold that seat, and he did.
People are really rising up, like us on your show.
We've never been involved before, or some even tell me they voted for Menendez.
Please help us.
Okay.
Well, let me give here's one.
Okay, lovely.
Uh hey, I was the guy talking Berlin Wall a little while ago.
We never thought that would fall, you know, you never can tell.
Uh filling a vacancy is one thing.
There was a vacancy, and there were people running to fill that vacancy.
A Democrat and a Republican, Brown's a Republican, lovely that he won.
Kicking a guy out is is setting it at a whole other bar.
There have been politicians since the beginning of time, Reviled that it didn't rise to the bar of of recall.
Listen, I'm not ready another parade.
Go for it.
And it will achieve whatever level of success that the political marketplace in New Jersey affords it.
So, you know.
Well, here's the thing.
Can we we have to ask ourselves this?
Can we afford to keep these people in Congress till their term runs out?
Well, isn't Menendez up in twelve?
He's up in he's up in thirteen.
Yeah, twelve, in thirteen he would take office.
But here's the thing.
We we're keeping them accountable.
We we spent a summer sending in petitions, making phone calls, sending faxes, doing everything we could think of to get his attention, and he sent back the most inane, insulting form letters back.
I mean, I called on health care.
I got a re a form letter on cap and trade back.
Well uh I'm sure that so right now as we're speaking, someone is getting an equally irrelevant one back from uh of a senator they love that they voted for.
It's called a million things to do and staffers that put the envelope in wrong.
But I'll tell you what, I got a scoop.
Do me a favor.
Uh keep keep Rush informed, because I'm here today.
Uh but if I'm ever back, uh, you know, give me a uh a shout.
And and then uh I would say about any recall effort, I'd say the same thing about all of them.
Some will succeed, some will fail, most aren't gonna work.
If you got enough people who are passionate enough, go see.
Go see.
You got the right to do it.
Let's see how it works out, and um hey, thanks for the energy.
Thanks for the call.
Much appreciate you.
Thanks.
Alrighty, one-800-288, uh 282-2882, excuse me, 1028282.
I haven't said that enough today.
Um, you know, recalls.
I mean, there's a waste of time alert that goes off in my head a little bit.
You know, all the time and the energy that it would take to try to get Bob Menendez kicked to the curb when he's only gonna be there for and listen, I know only two more years.
Yeah, what kind of damage can the dude do in two more years?
Well, in into what but then you create a vacuum.
I mean, l I mean dog Chris Christie, hello, maybe there's a new day in a new sheriff in New Jersey.
You guaranteed that uh that Bob Menendez would be uh uh if successfully kicked out would be replaced by a Republican.
Do you have that guarantee?
Uh I don't know.
So I mean if you got that energy and that kind of time.
Find cultivate, encourage exactly the right kind of candidate to beat Bob Menendez in 2012.
Your likelihood of success is exponentially higher.
Hey, just me.
Alrighty, one eight hundred.
Uh 282-282 on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Mark Davis filling in, just a couple segments left.
Let's see what we make of them next on the EIB network.
It's the waning moments of the Friday Rush Limbaugh show.
Let's see how many folks we can take care of here.
Let's head up just a little northeast of the state capital.
A little Commonwealth's action today.
Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Kentucky, just up northeast of Frankfurt and Harrison County, Kentucky.
You find a little town of Cynthia and Jay's and Cynthia, Kentucky.
How are you, sir?
Uh I I'm uh I'm okay.
Uh, how are you doing?
I'm maybe better than you.
I bless your heart.
I'm filled with uh vigor.
You sound kind of beaten down, you alright?
Yeah, I've got a little bit of a head cold.
Uh that's why I'm I'm sorry.
Yeah, but hey, UK Wildcats, man.
Come on.
Final four.
Yeah, there you go.
There you go.
What's up with you today?
What's going on?
Well, first of all, thank you for taking my call.
My pleasure.
And uh uh I I I called about the McCain um J.D. Hayworth uh issue that you'd mentioned earlier, but I didn't want to mention in terms of your reference to Carter and Clinton um and the uh something that um uh apparently the Republican Party uh doesn't seem to be aware of whenever I've gone to the Capitol uh in DC and mentioned the h Cloud pivot strategy.
Um they don't seem to be aware of what that is.
And that's what these candidate or these uh um presidents and and and these Democrat, you know, the Cloud Pivin strategy, if you're familiar with it, specifically mentions the Democrat Party as their conduit for achieving their agenda, which essentially is, and nobody likes to say this word is communism.
And they have been working on communizing this Country since the nineteen sixties and probably even before that.
And there are uh documents from uh KGB uh operatives who've been in this country um who have you know they're they're writing articles, but nobody's seeing them, uh screaming that they're that you know that that's what they've been uh try you know uh uh doing uh doing here uh and it's but you know the liberal of today is not the liberal of um you know um decades ago.
No, these are not your your your grandfather's liberals.
And the last time I remember if this is this is wild, and thank you.
The last time you even remember thinking about the Cloud Pivan strategy iv well, it was it was about getting as many people on welfare uh registered to vote so that a whole lot of people who are on the public dole would have power at the ballot box.
And the modern incarnation of that is President Obama talking tax cuts.
Hey, I love tax cuts.
Yeah, wait a minute.
He he would be thrilled if there were literally no taxes paid by the bottom sixty percent of everybody, because that would mean that they would have no s no stake in tax policy.
They'd be living off free stuff paid for by other people.
Thing about the Cloud Pivin strategy was uh the Cloud and Pivon, their they'll their deal was to prove that capitalism didn't work.
And that's why they loaded up these social programs to was to break the system, which they they've pretty much done in California and New York.
And I mean, you know, look at the paradise of Michigan and and Detroit, and that's what they want to do with the entire country so that they can come along and say, look, capitalism doesn't work, and then they can change it to the uh you know the agenda that that they want, um, which is basically communism.
And and communism's great till the money runs out.
Well, or or socialism at the very least.
I mean, let's if if we're gonna be uh uh you know good history dorks and remember, and I mean that in a pleasant way, remember Cloud and Pivon at Columbia University.
Let's let's uh yes so the the I think the quote is is mostly socialism is the the problem with it is you run out of other people's money.
Uh wonderful stuff.
Thank you.
All right, let's get this final break done, come back, take a final call or two, get out of here and start the weekend, shall we?
Mark Davis in for Rush on the EIB Network.
Well, here we are in what is essentially the final minute and a fraction of the show.
Guaranteed short shrift for any caller.
Uh and that's not right.
So let me just uh and and by the way, there is one thing I I don't mean to bury the lead here.
Not that this would have been a big talk show topic, but are you aware that a South Korean Navy ship has sunk not far from North Korea, uh, you know, the first thing when the story broke was, hmm, torpedo?
So I mean, I don't know.
Uh but that's it's gonna be something that probably winds up in the news for the rest of the day.
Now for the rest of the weekend.
Uh some uh I I always look forward to the Sunday shows.
Your Fox News Sunday, your meet the press, you face the nation, and all of that, because it's prep material for the show that I do uh locally here in Dallas Fort Worth.
Uh I just can't wait, in particular, for for this uh this incarnation of Sunday shows and see uh what Democrats are gonna say uh uh to prop up uh a measure that ha they they did manage to entice, you know, fifty point four percent uh uh the United States Senate, but uh I think the more daunting percentage of Americans who are not on board uh poses uh a bit of a more difficult obstacle for them.
Uh so fighting that fight every day, shows like this, so God bless Rush, he's back Wednesday.
Mark Stein with you Monday and Tuesday, he's always great.
Thank you.
Uh H.R. and Mike, thank you, and thank all of you listening.
Uh Mark Davis, all one word on Twitter if you want to stay in touch, M-A-R-K-D-A-V-I-S.
Have a fantastic weekend.
It's the Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB network.
God bless our country.
God bless our troops and the freedom we have to talk about things and do something about them.
