Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Byron York at the Washington Examiner was in Chicago yesterday.
He was listening to a rally for Democrats.
Being led by Bill Clinton, who showed up 90 minutes late, people left the rally in the middle of a deader than a doornail.
Presentation by Clinton.
And Brian or Byron has asked the question: Does Clinton on the stump really want Obama and the Democrats to win?
Hillary Clinton is out of the country.
She is nowhere helping the Democrats.
By the way, are there any Democrats on the ballot?
I mean, as I listen to all of these campaign ads and commercials around the country, aside from California.
It makes me wonder how we could possibly have a fair election because I don't hear any Democrats running for office.
At least not on the issues they're talking about.
In West Virginia, a guy manchins is sounding exactly like a conservative Republican.
Most Democrats are running away from Obamacare, and Clinton listen to this.
This is uh from last night's ABC's World News Tonight.
Jonathan Carl interviewed Clinton after this.
I mean, it was a dud.
Listened.
The report from our blowtorch affiliate in Chicago, WLS.
Former President Bill Clinton's get-out-the-vote rally for Democrats at a downtown Chicago hotel was the most unenthusiastic WLS veteran political reporter Bill Cameron has ever witnessed...
Clinton was an hour late for the Tuesday afternoon rally at the Palmer House Hotel.
He droned on for another hour, sending dozens of the few hundred Democrats in attendance for the exits.
Well, you know, uh, we're really asking for is two more years.
That's a total of four.
Get us out of this hole and uh and get us in the future.
It's half as much time as as you gave them a dig the hole seems seems fair to us.
That's Clinton's big push.
Give us two more years because you gave them four years to get us in the hole.
Give us four more years or two more years, total four to get out.
The state's most popular Democrat, Lisa Madigan, conspicuously absent, as were State Party Chairman Mike Madigan and Mayor Richard Daly.
Man, when Daly doesn't show up to appear on the same dais with Clinton.
When all these ranking Democrats don't show up to appear with Bill, what they know is when Clinton shows up, it's a death knell.
Clinton showing up is like Haraldo Rivera showing up on Fox.
Somebody's died.
Grim Reaper.
I mean, you check it out, folks.
Clinton's endorsements end up hurting whoever he's trying to help.
Here is Clinton answering a question from Jonathan Carl.
How bad?
How bad do you fear it could be?
We're bad enough to go out there to work for it.
We'll get it.
It's what happened to me in 94.
You get in, you want to do things?
There's almost an inverse relationship, and how much you accomplished and what people know about it.
We're getting there.
President's getting out and around, and I see a lot more intensity at these rallies now in the last three weeks.
I think it'd be a great mistake to count us out.
Reports of our demise have been exaggerated.
This is resounding.
I mean, that's inspiring.
Byron York at the D.C. examiner problem was it wasn't entirely clear how much Clinton really wanted to help the Democrats and especially Obama win next week's elections.
In the course of a one-hour speech, Clinton, whose wife lost a bitter nomination battle to Obama, offered faint praise for the current president, a steady stream of criticism for Democrats, who he said have failed to communicate their message to the voters.
What you're looking at is Operation Reverse Chaos.
It is happening right before your very eyes and ears.
Reverse Operation Chaos.
For those of you new to the program and do not know what Operation Chaos was.
In the primaries of 2008, Obama and Hillary were fighting it out.
Um apparently taking it all the way to the end of the primary battles.
McCain had already been chosen.
The Republican nominee nominee was uh nomination race was over.
Uh as far as this audience interest in the primaries, it was nil.
McCain has uh had won it, and that was not all that exciting.
Yet the Democrat race went on.
And I was noticing how poorly Hillary Clinton was being treated by her own party.
A race that from the beginning was hers almost by entitlement.
And then this clean articulate black guy shows up in the press goes gaga, and what was Hillary's was snatched from her.
And they were running mean commercials against her.
And I thought, well, this race needs to be continued.
Obama needs to continue to fight this out.
We need to have this race continue so people can find out exactly who and what these Democrats are.
So Operation Chaos instructed Republican primary voters in the remaining states where their votes didn't count because the Republican race was over, to register as Democrats if necessary, and to go vote for Hillary in the remaining states in the primaries in the Democrat primary to keep this thing going.
And it worked.
It took a race all the way to the summertime.
Operation reverse chaos, or reverse Operation Chaos, whichever you wish to call it, is once again established so as to allow Hillary Clinton what is rightfully hers.
An opportunity to win the White House.
It was hers.
She had been anointed, and then Obama comes along, and for whatever reason, they pull the rug out from under her.
The Clintons still want the White House.
Bad.
You can tell how bad by how unenthusiastic Bill Clinton is running around the country campaigning for Democrats for Obama.
Because Clinton and Hillary know that their best chance for her to get the nomination in 2012 is for the Democrats to have a lackluster performance next Tuesday.
The worse the defeat is, the worse it is for Obama.
As Obama said, and he's agreeing with me.
He said he's not on the ballot, but his agenda is damn straight it is.
That's exactly what's being voted on Tuesday.
Obama's agenda.
Therefore, the greater the Republican victory, the greater the opportunity for Hillary to challenge Obama for the nomination in 2012.
They don't want to wait till 2016.
They don't want that the odds of the White House being held by Democrats after 2016 is practically nil after what Obama's going to finish doing, destroying the country in four more years if that happens.
So the objective here of reverse Operation Chaos.
We are not aiming this at Republican voters.
We're aiming reverse Operation Chaos at Democrats.
Especially those of you who were for Hillary and believe she got the shaft politically, who believe that she was mistreated, who believed dirty campaigning took away from her what was rightfully hers.
And gave it to another.
It's typical what happens to women in this country.
Unqualified guy, young, good-looking.
I mean, there were even people, I don't know if you remember this.
I'll tell you how unfair it was for Hillary.
There were people in the primary actually saying, did we really want to sit here and watch Hillary Clinton age in office?
There were people saying that.
People remember this.
I mean, all kinds of things like this were being said.
It was mostly unfair.
It was terribly insulting.
And a guy with no experience, but who everybody liked his looks and the way he talked came in once again.
The glass ceiling shattered with Mrs. Clinton's head being right into it, but never threw it.
And so now it's time to make good.
Time to get even.
You Democrats who know that your party is being destroyed by Barack Obama.
You Democrats who know that your chances of ever holding power in Congress again are vanishing before your very eyes because of Obama.
You Democrats, you may have problems with this country, but you don't want to see it destroyed.
If you have any desire that Mrs. Clinton someday take the Democrat Party back to where it was, remember those glory days of the 90s, the economic boom, the...
We'd all like to return to those, wouldn't we?
Wink wink.
The best thing that Democrats can do to make that happen is to not vote Tuesday.
Stay home, put your feet up on the table, watch a soap opera or two, watch Oprah.
Do whatever.
Listen to this program, but do not vote.
Do not show.
The bigger the Democrat defeat on Tuesday, the greater the likelihood Mrs. Clinton is the Democrat nominee in 2012.
It's just that simple.
Reverse Operation Chaos.
Once again, in fairness, look at who it is looking out for the woman.
Look who it is, hoping that a woman has a fair shot at things.
Me, El Rushbow, and the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
It really isn't complicated.
I know that you are worried, some of you Democrats are, well, look.
There's so much fraud and cheating planned by Democrats.
I'm probably going to vote even if I don't show up.
My vote is going to happen even if I don't cast it.
I know you're thinking that.
Make that be the case.
Make them cheat.
but Do not participate in this election if you are Democrats, if you at all are interested in saving your party, and perhaps if you care about saving the country, I know that's incidental to some of you.
But if you want to save your party, save the country, if you want Mrs. Clinton and her husband to have a shot to get back in the White House, the only way you can do it is to make sure she has a chance to be on the ballot in the primaries in 2012.
And the only way she's going to have a chance of pulling that off is if the Democrats get literally shellacked on Tuesday, because Obama has said he's not on the ballot, but his agenda is.
Therefore, he's admitted the election is about him.
To the extent the Democrats get trashed and you can make it happen, Democrats.
You know you're going to lose anyway.
You know the Republicans are going to win the House, and you know the Republicans are probably going to win the Senate.
So what the hell?
You can't help anything by showing up.
The only way you can help is not show up.
Make your non-vote count.
Sit home November 2nd.
Do it for Hillary.
And for me, reverse Operation Chaos.
Democrats give your defeat meaning.
Make your shellacking worth it.
Find value in losing next Tuesday.
Don't vote.
Help Hillary.
It has been pointed out to me, by the way, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that a genuine reverse Operation Chaos would be Democrats who hope to see Hillary as the Democrat nominee in 2012.
Vote Republican on Tuesday.
If you can't bring yourself to do that, if you Democrats, even if you want Hillary for 2012, if you can't, if you can't stomach going to the ballot box voting for a Republican, then be a Hillary potato.
Sit on a couch for Hillary on election day.
Reverse Operation Chaos.
Even if you're dead, don't vote.
Even if you are in prison, don't vote.
And look, just because Obama's botched it doesn't mean that Hillary will.
The principles of Saul Alinsky have not failed.
You just haven't had the right person applying them.
Hillary wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky.
She could make his ideas sing, where Obama has sullied them.
Now I know by her own admission, the hardest thing Hillary has ever done in her life was organize her daughter's wedding.
She said that.
But that still puts her one Up on Obama, because he is the most unqualified imam, a guy in any room he walks into.
By the way, speaking of Clinton, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, this Wednesday, President that's today, Clinton and Attorney General Andrew the Como will rally Democrats to get out and vote in Brooklyn.
The door is open at 3 p.m. this afternoon, New York City College of Technology Clit Gord Center, Clit Gord Center.
With just a week left until the election, it's time to show that Democrats are energized and ready to take on the challenges facing this state.
Why, if if Andrew the Como has such a commanding lead, why is the big kahuna being sent into New York?
What's Clinton doing in Illinois?
What's Clinton doing in Chicago?
What are Obama and Joe Bitney doing in Delaware?
And now they take Clinton into New York for Andrew the Como to Brooklyn.
Ninth Circus Court of Appeals.
With very telling ruling yesterday, three judge panel ruled that it is not necessary to show ID when showing up to vote.
You know, I remember uh, ladies and gentlemen, the ruling class, even Republicans, telling us that if we opposed amnesty, it would mean the death of the conservative movement.
If we didn't get on board with Amnesty, remember them telling us this it would be the end of the Republican Party.
We had to get on board with this.
We had to show the Hispanics that we were on their side.
You notice how we never hear any polling about that subject anymore.
We thought it was supposed to be such a winning subject for the Democrat Democrats in a Ninth Circus comes out with this ruling yesterday, and it just is going to gin up even more Republican turnout in support.
Well, I remember I remember hearing from McCain in the Republican Party hierarchy.
Uh, and the open borders crowd in the conservative media.
And boy, if you if if you push MC, if you don't, if you don't get employed, it's gonna end.
It's the end of the conservative movement.
It's the end of the Republican.
Every time they warn us that our principles and ideals destroy or will destroy the Republican Party, they are proven wrong.
It is our principles and ideals which are saving and preserving the Republican Party in Nevada.
A lot of people panicking here over the dingy Harry and uh uh Sharon Angle race.
Oh, speaking of that, I want to give you uh, ladies and gentlemen, a side-by-side A B comparison of how the media does it.
Uh, this is uh let's see, uh you know, I took Mike, I told you 19 and uh 21, I mean 22.
Joy Behar, Maud Behar on yesterday's The View, after they played Sharon Angle for Senate ad, Joy Behar and Sherry Shepard talked about it.
I'd like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx.
Come here, bitch.
Come to New York and do it.
She's having a hat.
No, I'm praying that her heart gets to hell this time.
Come in here, BIH Joy Behar on Barbara Walters show.
And I'm watching MSNBC this morning as they analyze this, and is there any outrage over it?
No.
They're discussing, will it be effective?
Will Behar's comment actually help read?
Meanwhile, on MSNBC last night, there was this discussion about me.
Rush inserts the mandatory phrase in there.
No one is condoning the manhandling.
Then every other word he says condones the manhandling, doesn't it?
It sounds like Rush Limbaugh is attacking 23-year-old Lauren Valley for actually criticizing a financial institution that most Americans agree have gotten away with murder.
They've gotten bonuses, Americans are losing Their homes.
They have record profits.
Jobs are being outsourced overseas.
Why is Rush Limbaugh?
Why is Rand Paul not holding those corporations accountable, but willing to point fingers at a hundred and ten-pound 23-year-old woman?
This is about Lauren Valley, the moveon.org babe, who was dressed in a disguise, had a foreign object, a phony award, she said later, trying to give it to Rand Paul.
What would the Secret Service have done if she had tried that move on Obama?
And by the way, I always thought it was good to put your boot on the neck of your opponent.
We had our boot on BP's neck, said Obama, and many minions in his administration.
But you see, there's outrage over the fact that I support this woman being stopped.
Total outrage.
And yet when Maud Behar calls Angle a B.I. itch and tells her to go to hell.
The media analyzes it and asks, will it help Harry Reed?
Could it possibly help Harry Reed and fire up the Democrats?
We'll be back.
Ninth Circus Court of Appeals, three judge panel divided yesterday on Arizona's Proposition 200.
Adopted by the people of the state, uh Prop 200 in 2004 to protect the integrity of elections.
And the Ninth Circus says it's invalid.
What does Prop 200 do?
Prop 200 requires voters to provide proof of eligibility.
That is citizenship to register and proof of identity to vote.
And the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals overturns it, rules it unconstitutional.
One of the three judges is the retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is sitting in, essentially, for somebody on the Ninth Circuit who's sick, medical leave, or writing a book or a position paper or protesting with move on.org or whatever the hell else the judge is doing.
Sandra Day O'Connor.
The chief justice of this court, Alex Kaczynski, was the only one to vote with any sense whatsoever.
Now, this decision, very important to point this out, was not actually rendered by Ninth Circuit judges.
The deciding vote was cast by the supposedly retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who claims the power to sit by designation on cases in the federal appellate and district courts, despite the fact that she's now an overt political activist.
She ought to be sidelined.
She is an overt political activist, and yet she sits as a substitute teacher, so to speak, on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Proposition 200.
This is this has happened in California.
All the various ballot initiatives that would not use taxpayer money to pay for health care, education, welfare benefits for illegal immigrants and their children.
Overruled, unconstitutional.
That's just one of many examples of why Tuesday is going to happen.
Why Tuesday will be what it is.
A public uprising against the ruling class is on tap for Tuesday in Nevada.
The governor's race.
The Republican, Brian Sandoval, leads Rory Reed, dingy Harry's kid, by more than 20 points.
Latest Rasmussen poll.
Dingy Harry's kid down by 20 points in the Nevada governor's race.
Now, that cannot bode well for dingy Harry.
We're told that the Sharon Angle dingy Harry race is three points, four points.
Sometimes down to one point, sometime within the margin of error.
Don't believe it.
As I sit here today, ladies and gentlemen, I think Dingy Harry's toast.
I really do.
I think all of this is just Democrat media smokescreen.
I think it's just wishful thinking.
I think it's just papering over the obvious.
What's changed from when Dingy Harry was toast before Sharon Engel became the nominee?
Only because she's Tea Party did the polls start shifting in conventional wisdom says, eh, a lot of people are not really comfortable with Sharon Angle.
unknown quantity.
Let me tell you they're uncomfortable with is Harry Reed.
The people of Nevada are fed up with Harry Reed.
Just like the people of South Dakota ended up fed up with Tom Dashell.
These guys come from relatively conservative states.
They go to Washington, they become leaders in the Senate.
They have to carry the radical extremist regime's agenda.
And they are exposed as who they really are.
So if Dingy Harry's kid is down by 20 to Republican Brian Sandoval, don't believe that the Sharon Angle Dingy Harry race is a mere three points.
Also, some Rasmussen three quarters, 76% of American adults know someone who's out of work and looking for a job.
Imagine that.
76% of American adults know.
Somebody out of work and looking for a job.
That is a huge number.
You want more of that?
Keep voting for Democrats.
You Democrats in New York and California, you like these numbers.
Just 19% say the job market's getting better.
42% say it's getting worse.
You like that?
Vote Democrat on Tuesday.
Vote the status quo.
You know 76% of the American people know somebody who's out of work and you want that number to go up.
You want it to be 80% of the American people.
Adults know somebody out of work looking for a job.
Vote Democrat.
From Baltimore, the Baltimore City Health Department issued its first environmental citation for repeat violations of wait for it.
The health department issued healthy choice of food facility in the 400 block of Lexington Street, a 100 fine, i.e.
tax.
It was the second time they were found with a high trans fat level in their ingredients at Health Department agent Juan Gutierrez.
Now this was posted on October 25th.
Officials said that during inspections in July and this month, the facility was found to be using a margarine product with trans fat levels in excess of what the law allows.
Trans fats were banned from facilities in 2009.
Baltimore has handed out its first trans fat citation.
Yes, there are food police.
And if you want more of this, vote Democrat.
Do you want the police to charge you with this kind of crap?
Keep voting Democrat.
You want food Nazis in your town?
You want food Nazis in your neighborhood?
Vote Democrat.
At least Hugo Chavez is attempting to take over the food industry in Venezuela in a more obvious manner.
He's simply nationalizing companies.
The liberals in the United States are slowly but surely destroying them.
A 100 tax or fine.
Now Baltimore has the ninth worst crime statistics, not including the Baltimore Ravens.
Just kidding.
I'm a Steelers fan.
Just kidding, lighten up.
Baltimore has the ninth worst crime stats for any city with a population of 250,000 or 250,000 people or more.
And they don't have anything better to do there than to have the cops run around issuing trans fat citations.
To a food facility called Healthy Choice.
And the newspaper happens to mention their address.
A food facility in the 400 block of Lexington Street.
Why painting a target on them?
You want this to keep happening?
Vote Democrat.
From Bloomberg.
Employers in the United States are starting to warn their workers to prepare for slimmer paychecks if Congress fails to vote on an extension of Bush-era tax cuts.
I've been doing payroll for probably close to 30 years now, and never have we seen something like this, where it gets that much down to the wire, said Dennis Danilwicks, who manages payroll services for about 14,000 employees at New York University's Langone Medical Center.
And that's what's got a lot of people nervous.
All we can do is start preparing communications with people of a whole bunch of different scenarios.
Many school employees earn between 20,000, 40,000 a year.
They are going to be losing $50 of paycheck.
That is a significant dollar amount to them.
The bulk of our employees do not understand the coming tax debate in Congress.
Another employer said when they see this type of thing happening, they go into panic mode.
They don't follow what's going on, and yet their votes count as much as yours do.
They don't follow what's going on.
They have no clue.
You want this to continue?
You want a smaller paycheck, keep voting Democrat.
You'll have the chance next Tuesday.
If the bulk of the U.S. economy is consumer spending, and it is said that 70% of the U.S. economy is consumer spending.
Smaller paychecks is not how you grow the U.S. economy.
And yet, thanks to Obama and the Democrats, smaller paychecks are on taping in January, which basically a couple months from now.
You want that to continue?
Vote Democrat.
You'll have the chance next Tuesday.
76% of American adults know somebody out of work and looking for a job.
put Bloomberg with a story about how paychecks, take home pay, will shrink starting in January.
Baltimore, trans fat police issuing citations, while Baltimore remains the ninth worst crime stat city with populations over 250,000.
What is happening in the United States of America is exactly what has happened in every country where the government has become huge and oppressive.
Everybody, everybody in the bad old days of the Soviet Union had two jobs.
One job was their own.
The other job was beating the system.
That is coming to America.
In fact, it's already here.
Those of you out of work have two tasks before you.
To find a real job and then find a way to beat the system.
We are all trying to beat the system.
Back in the old days of the Soviet Union, so much of their time was spent finding a way to live better than the system said they could.
And that's happening in the United States of America.
And that's one of the things this election on Tuesday is about.
Americans will not tolerate the end of American exceptionalism on purpose.
The American people will not tolerate a regime who happily presides over an America in decline.
The American people will not tolerate the notion that their children and grandchildren no longer have an opportunity to be prosperous and free.
The American people have many people in this country who have become experts at beating the system.
Back in the old days of the Soviet Union, the Russians had to beat the system to get anywhere.
To get better food, to get a better job, to get a better house, to get a better anything.
You had to beat the system.
You had to beat the regime.
There was no other outlet for ambition or effort.
Ambition or effort within the system got you nothing.
Except higher taxes and dwindling opportunities.
The state controlled everything.
The state is assuming control over as much of everything as possible with the Obama regime, We are heading down that same road.
And that's why there is a Tea Party.
And that's why on Tuesday there's going to be a T Nami.
It is going to be huge.
The American people are not oriented toward beating the system.
The American people are oriented toward working it.
The American people understand American exceptionalism.
The opportunities that exist here.
And they're seeing the opportunities being taken away.
On purpose, by design.
We even had this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.
Vice President Joe Bightney actually running around now saying that every revolutionary invention has its roots in government.
Every one of them, he says, has its roots in government.
Now you and I know that that's palpable BS.
But the young people in this country, it sounds probably true.
Those who have not been properly educated, those who do not know history, do not know the past, the government, the system, is being sold as the only opportunity anybody has.
It's crying shame what is happening here.
Meanwhile, what's happening over the weekend?
Democrats are looking to a pair of comedians to do what Obama and Bill Clinton and dozens of other leaders have not done yet this election season.
That's get party members excited about voting.
And so these two comedians, John Stewart and Stephen Colbert, are expecting what?
Colbert.
He pronounces it Colbert.
It's not Colbert.
Oh.
Okay.
John Stewart and Stephen Colbert expect tens of thousands of fans to join them at the rally to restore sanity in Washington on October 30th, three days before the election.
I hope you all go.
I hope every Democrat in the country goes.
I hope every Union member abandons your precinct, abandons every bit of work you're doing on the election, and goes to Washington, sits around, gets drunk, smokes some doobies, and listen to a bunch of putrid jokes told by a couple of half-baked comedians.
What a brilliant scheme.
If I didn't know better, I would say that Stewart and Colbert are working for the Republicans.
A giant rally three days before the election, taking Democrats away from polling places, away from the heavy work and the heavy lifting of getting out the vote.
Radon.
Radon Rod.
In addition to those of you Democrats who plan on not voting, reverse Operation Chaos, head to Washington this week, flood the zone, have a giant make it Woodstock too.
Leave the biggest mess that town has ever seen in public.
Abandon your local community, abandon your state, head to Washington three days before the election, and spend your time doing whatever.
While the Tea Party and others are busy working to produce giant turnout next Tuesday.
Well, you Democrats turn out on Saturday in a meaningless show of what?
...
For a couple of comedians who simply can't get over the fact that Glenn Beck drew over half a million people.
And they're barely going to get 65,000.
That's if Arianna Huffington comes through with the free buses.
You know what Joe Biden said?
The government responsible for every invention.
That's exactly what the people of the Soviet Union were told.
Exactly.
They claimed that Soviet-approved scientists invented the airplane, the automobile, and the light bulb.
That's what the Soviet regime told its people.
Now look at the Democrats.
Look.
The Democrat Party pinning its hopes on a couple of comedians and Bill Clinton.
Maybe three comedians then.
And I want to apologize to uh Stephen Colbert.
I thought it was pronounced Colbert.
I have been corrected.
And I thought John Stewart was pronounced Stewart, but uh, but it's Liebowitz that's pronounced Stewart.
John Lebowitz is pronounced John Stewart.
And uh Colbert is pronounced Colbert.
At any rate, uh made the order rally for you Democrats three days before the election, go to Washington and make a mess.
That's what happens when Democrats gather anyway.
What timing?
