Time Text
Let me ask you a quick pregunta.
Little Spanish lingo there.
If you were Barack Hussein Obama, mm, mmm.
Why would you flip-flop on gay marriage the day after a stinging defeat in North Carolina?
I throw that question open to the table.
Why would you do that?
Why would you essentially flip flop on gay marriage?
On the day after his stinging defeat.
So now we've got John Kerry Redux.
Obama was against it before he was for it.
Or evolved, or whatever.
And now is this going to be used for the proof of evolution?
Obama's arrival finally after years, 1996, he told gay groups he was for gay marriage.
Then, when he had national political perspirations.
He evolved, I should say devolved, uh, into a position of anti-gay marriage.
And all of a sudden, stinging defeat North Carolina, 32nd consecutive defeat.
I love that lib call on here say we're winning rush.
They do look at it that way.
They looked at it, it used to be a hundred to zero against gay marriage.
Now it's 6040, they do see progress.
But remember, we're minding our own business ten years ago or whatever it was.
Marriage is a word.
It has a specific meaning.
And all of a sudden, some people came along and said, Well, we want to change the definition.
No, you don't want to change the definition.
You want to corrupt the institution is what you want to do.
How dare you say that?
We don't want it.
We want in on the institution.
Well, then marry a woman or marry a man.
That's what marriage is.
Words mean things, and they used to.
So now we have to stand up and defend all these institutions.
We get the president of the United States waging war, leading war on traditional marriage now.
There's no other way to look at this.
There's no other way to characterize it.
Barack Obama is leading a war on gay marriage, just like he's leading a war in the Catholic Church, the war on stay-at-home moms.
So when Obama flip-flops, it's called evolving.
When Romney evolves, it's called flip-flopping.
They call Romney a flip-flopper.
Well, he used to believe this, but now he believes this.
Well, he evolved.
No, Romney's a flip-flopper.
Well, Obama used to believe this, but now he believes that.
Well, he's a flip-flopper.
No, no, Obama's evolving.
But I think could there be, I don't know, could there be a little panic going on?
Here's another thing.
As Ed Henry reported, and I read it this morning, Obama's sitting down this afternoon for an interview with Robin Roberts, Good Morning America, and I think some of it's gonna run on world news tonight.
Now, you know and I know that Robin Roberts knows she's gonna ask about gay marriage.
Barack Obama knows that Robin Roberts is gonna ask about gay marriage.
Why don't they just do a press conference?
Why did Obama just call a presser, call a press conference, do the evolution, do the evolving?
What say he wants this to evolve in the context of an interview?
He wants to be seen as sitting there pensively in deep evolutionary thought.
Where we yes, we can see him struggling with the issue as he's uh leading the war against traditional marriage seen with Barack uh uh uh Robin Roberts looking on wise wide open inquisitively waiting uh for the answer, not to pounce, of course, but to embrace and applaud when the right answer is forthcoming.
So Robin Roberts will get the credit.
Great journalism here for dragging out what everybody knows Obama has believed for years.
As he has been evolving.
By the way, we say it on this program and things happen.
Massachusetts House of Representatives has passed a measure eliminating the ban on baked sales at Schools.
They've overturned it.
Just the House, it's not official yet, but yesterday, Massachusetts bans bake sales.
Today, the House of Representatives in Massachusetts pass a measure to overturn the ban on bake sales.
Like I said before the break, what's it like to listen to this show?
I can I never know that.
I never ever get to hear it the way you do.
Never do.
I'm too busy doing it.
You know, uh, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday we started a new Facebook page.
Rush Babes on board.
And by the way, this the the word babes is entirely respectful in its usage here.
There's the there's no condescension meant here, and every woman in this audience knows that.
Uh but we've uh we have put up a um a Facebook website.
And it is already, we're already close to having more friends than the entire membership of the National Organization for Women.
And National Organization for Women has been out there drumming up membership for decades.
The Rush Babes Facebook page has been up for 24 hours, and we already are close to having more friends, i.e., members than uh than the now gang has.
And uh we're gonna do a story or a series of stories that fit.
Because the whole point of this page at Facebook is to destroy this silly notion that women are monolithic and that they're all liberal feminists, that the National Organization for Women speaks for all women.
They don't.
They never have.
Their membership is an infinitesimal minority of the actual female population and of the thinking of women in this country.
It is this program and this host, which recognizes the individuality and the uniqueness of women, realizes that you don't all think alike, and that very few of you in this audience of millions of women agree with the extreme radical liberalism of the National Organization for Women.
And so our Rush Babes Facebook page is a place for you to go, be registered, and that's that's not the word, but it's just sign up as become a friend, be counted, let it be known that you don't sign on to this.
Because the the the what the Nags are trying to do is is make it appear like they speak for all women, that all women agree with them, and that it's millions and millions and millions of American women who are sympatico with the message of radical feminism and radical liberalism that comes out of the uh national organization for women.
And they're getting together with Media Matters for America and are actually having this big campaign they're gonna start later this month, trying to get me off the air on the premise that I am despised and hated by women, under the premise that women are afraid of me, under the premise that women are being set back decades because of people like me.
So our Rush Babes Facebook page is a place to demonstrate that there are more of you than there are of the nags.
So you go there and you sign up.
Is uh is how you do it.
And we're we're we're gonna blow through their membership total here very quickly.
Now, there's a story yesterday.
We're gonna post this story for you to see pass along.
Washington free beacon.
I and I'm not making up a word of this as I read this to you.
The National Right to Life Committee released a statement on Tuesday afternoon highlighting the fact that the Obama White House recognizes a baby that has not been born for White House security purposes.
Oh, wait, that's the not.
Here's the I read this too soon.
Pro-Choice White House requires registration of unborn children for tourists If you're pregnant and you show up, you must register your fetus as a person touring the White House.
Is the point of this.
White House Visitor's Office requires that an unborn child still residing in utero must be counted as a full human being when its parents register for a White House tour.
This according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The White House Visitors Office Director, Ellie Schaefer sent an email to a Capitol Hill staffer Tuesday morning explaining the process for registering an unborn fetus for a White House tour.
No, I don't know.
Why would you have to do this?
Remember, to the White House, to liberal Democrats, a fetus doesn't exist until it's born.
It can't.
If a fetus is alive and an independent living thing that you can count before it's born, then they got a big political problem.
Fetus is an unviable tissue mass.
Now all of a sudden, if you're pregnant and your baby is in utero and you want a White House tour, you've got to register that baby as a human being, as a person also on the tour.
The life of me, I can't figure out why, unless tour requests are down and they're trying to pad the numbers.
But I mean, who would care?
Anyway, here's the uh White House visitor's office director Ellie Schaefer and her email.
We've received a number of calls regarding how to enter security information for a baby that hasn't yet been born.
You must include the baby in the overall count of guests in the tour.
It's an easy process.
Last name, you put the family's last name.
First name, use baby as a first name.
These are the instructions I'm reading to you.
Middle name, put NMN stands for no middle name.
Date of birth, use the date you are submitting the request to us as their birthday.
Meaning you're three months, five, five months pregnant, you want a White House tour.
You have to put you have to count that person in the womb as a person on the tour.
You have to list their age, date of birth.
The date of birth is the date you are submitting the request.
Even though the baby won't be born for four months, the date of birth is the date you submit the request.
Gender.
If the parents know the gender of the fetus, put that gender down.
If not, you can enter either M or F, and we will ask you to update it at the time of birth.
Social Security number.
Now, as they will not have a social security number and are under 18, you'll not need to enter this field.
Citizen, city, state.
The city, citizen, and state should be entered the same as the parents.
And then the actual email is attached in this story, lest you think that the Washington free beacon is making this up.
So the only time in the world of a feminist, a radical now gang type feminist.
The only time a feminist will acknowledge that a fetus is a human being is for some reason when it is taken along on a White House tour.
Shouldn't there be a question on here asking if you intend to abort the baby or not?
And then shouldn't there be, if you answer one way or the other, shouldn't there then be another question?
Why not?
I amuse myself.
Seriously.
Do you plan on emborting this baby?
And if the answer is no, then the next question is why not?
Don't you know you're carrying around an illness.
So anyway, that's actually happening.
Uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon.
Brief time out.
Sit tight.
We'll be back with much more here on the EIB.
I forgot to give the Facebook address for the Rush Babes page.
It's Facebook.com slash Rush Babes for America.
That's the Facebook address.
Facebook.com rush babes for America.
Look, I want to say just a brief moment here to explain a bit about the name.
Rush babe is not demeaning or uh insulting of women in any way.
It is an acknowledgement, ladies and gentlemen, that a proud conservative woman is innately attractive for independence or intellect or commitment to real values and doesn't mind being called a babe.
It's a compliment to a well adjusted.
Hey, babe, how are you?
This is not an insult.
Rush babes for America is a compliment.
Only in the land of the left would calling a woman a babe to her face or something be uh uh insulting, such as stigmatizing her, ignoring the existence of her brain.
You remember I never forgot this.
Just to show you the generation like a great director.
Oh, he's married to Julie Andrews.
I can't uh Blake Edwards.
He got a lifetime epidemic award at the Oscars one year.
And he gave all of his thanks to the best broad in the world.
The best broad he'd ever met, his wife, Julie Andrews.
And you could hear a gasp in the room amongst the young actors and actresses who thought he was insulting her.
Now he was engaging in shock value.
But back in his day, World War II generation, women were broads.
It did not mean they were cows, like it meant when I was in high school.
They had dames, they were broads, they were um go read a Mickey Spillane novel.
There's uh anyway, he just called her great great broad.
What a great.
It was the best compliment he could give her.
And she took it that way, of course, and that's what rush babes is.
It's not at all insulting.
Okay, uh, Zach in Evansville, Indiana.
I'm glad you waited as we go back to the phones.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, it's a pleasure to speak with you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to comment on, you know, as an 18-year-old, you know, a senior in high school.
I was very excited yesterday to vote against Senator Luger, you know, just so we could get a common sense conservative like Richard Murdoch in the White House, because you know Senator Luger's positions, whether it be on, you know, Obama Supreme Court nominees or his votes for stimulants or support of the Dream Act or you know, myriad other issues.
It's just it was time for him to leave Walker.
Exactly right.
You know, you are 18 and and you are so far ahead of the game.
And Luger even mentioned this in his um in his statement.
Well, I'm sure it was helping us I voted for TARP and I voted for the Dream Act, and I voted for the Dream Act.
He was voting right down the line with Obama, and that means he's not part of the solution to the problem.
And people like you and others in Indiana know it.
And you want the problem solved, correct?
Yeah, the problem needs to be solved.
We need to get Tea Party candidates like Richard Murdoch into the Senate.
We need to take back the Senate, and we need to make sure that Mitt Romney defeats Obama in in the fall because it's so important.
We're at such a critical time in our country right now, whether it be the debt or Obamacare or you know, any other issues so important that we're not.
Let me just illustrate for you, but thank thanks, Zach, for the call and welcome.
It's great to have you on the team.
James Carvel last night, CNN John King, USA.
Sound by 22.
Uh Submite 9, sorry.
Uh King says, uh, when you when you meet with the fundraising guys, you meet with the uh the activists.
They uh they saw the polls are tight, but don't worry, Obama's got this in the bag, and they do think that.
But Mr. Carville, you don't think it's in the bag, right?
No, I I don't.
Who in this world would be an incumbent, not just in the United States, an incumbent would feel any sense of confidence whatsoever.
And the Republicans are raising hundreds of millions of dollars.
These super packs, money's just pouring into them, and the Democrats are saying, Oh, we're gonna win this thing, and it doesn't make any sense.
Right now, the attitude among Democrats that I detect from across the board is not anywhere near close to what it has to be.
Right.
He thinks they're overconfidence in the bag.
Obama's got it in the bag, going to raise all the money.
One Tea Party group has raised 12 million dollars.
Just one, and there are 47 of them.
And he's right, the Republican super PACs out there raising a lot of money.
This notion about independence all over the world losing.
I want to deal with that in just a second, but one more Carville bite.
John King said, You studied the polling data.
You travel quite a bit.
Do voters think the president is not connected to their lives, not fighting for their interests.
A lot of people have too much of an incumbent mentality in this party, or this sort of attitude that we're going to win no matter what, and they point to stuff like, well, electoral map looks good for us, or Ohio looks good.
That's not how elections are won.
They're one by going out there and getting on an offensive and staying there.
And the combination of that and plus the sense that Romney's just a really weak, bad opponent is causing, I think, unwarranted optimism among Democrats.
That's part of this.
They really do think Romney is just they think he's Ward Cleaver.
They think Romney's stuck in 1954.
He doesn't have the slightest idea what life is like in America.
They think he's a pushover.
They think Obama's got it in the bag because they they still think people look at Obama as the Messiah.
Carver, that's he's, and he's properly concerned about it.
But this notion, well, incumbents are losing all over the French incumbents, Sarkozy, a conservative by comparison.
Lost.
Carbell's talking about all over the world incumbents, not just here.
I don't I don't really believe this.
I listen to this.
This is um uh from Buzzfeed.
I'm having a mental blessfeed.
Is this this guy that used to be politico that's in the tank for Obama that does BuzzFeed Ben?
I can't remember his last name.
I can never remember who BuzzFeed.
It's a some some blog.
I think it's can't remember this Ben guy's last name.
Anyway, it may not even be him.
But here's what they're saying.
Obama to announce gay marriage position in our long special called The Decision.
Can that possibly be true?
Oh, Buzzfeed founded by some guy from the Huffing and Puffington Post.
Can this possibly be true?
It's out there on this blog.
Obama to announce gay marriage position in our long special called The Decision.
They've gotta be yanking my chain here with this.
The day after stinging defeat, stinging rebuke.
How come Obama can make this difficult decision before the elections?
But he can't decide on the Keystone pipeline before the election.
Obama agonizing, rubbing his hands together.
Well, agonizing for gay marriage.
Interviewing with Robin Roberts.
Maybe an hour-long special to announce the evolution, the statement, the decision.
But he can't decide on the Keystone pipeline.
Well, because it's obviously going to be a lot more than yeah, I'm for it.
This I can't, I still don't.
I know the I know BuzzFeed's a liberal thing, it's a Huffpoe guy, but I d an hour long thing called the decision.
What does he think?
The whole country's on the edge of its chairs over his opinion on this.
Have we suspended our lives awaiting word from Obama on what is the right view on gay marriage?
You know, if somebody told me God was gonna make a one-hour speech at some point, then I'd stop what I was doing.
But not Obama.
Who do they think they're kidding here?
Here's Sandra in Ellsville, Mississippi.
Hey Sandra, I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Mega Ditto's rest, and it's Ellisville, Mississippi.
Um anyways, uh much to my shock this morning at 1115, I'm just gonna make this short and sweet.
I get a call from my sixth grader in elementary elementary school, um, saying that I had to bring him another shirt or go home, and I didn't understand what the problem was.
He was wearing his brother, who's in the Marine Corps fighting in Afghanistan, a United States Marine Corps shirt that had the logo of the bulldog that said, if you're not the lead dog, the front, the back says the view never changes, and it's the rest of the bulldog.
And it was he was flagged to the office by the principal for being inappropriate and offensive.
Uh wait just a second now.
What what what what kind of shoot?
It's a United States Marine Corps.
No, is it a t-shirt?
Is it a button-down shirt?
No, it's a it's a t-shirt that my son got in boot camp.
Okay, does the school not permit t-shirts?
Oh no, they allow t-shirts.
They do allow t-shirts.
Mm-hmm.
Rebel flags and all, yeah.
Okay, okay.
I just I just we couldn't wear t-shirts other than Gym.
I just didn't know.
I just said so in Mississippi, they're kicking or making your son change shirts because it's pro-Marine Corps.
I can't figure that one out.
I thought maybe I'd come to you and in all your wisdom.
Maybe you could tell me because my mind is like a crack of right about now.
Well uh uh I can I can f I can understand a very activist liberal isolated teacher being offended by military displays, honor, uh things that are pro-military and so forth, because they might this is pro-killing.
This is pro-war.
I'm gonna have it in my client.
I c isolated, but I uh I don't I that's even a stretch in in Mississippi.
I I uh not being there, I'm at a loss.
I uh what has your s as your son said any more?
I mean that my s I I immediately took him home and my third grader under the premise of stupidity because I walked in the office and he was there sitting there with the shirt inside out.
I immediately made him stand up and turn it the correct way, since his brother is fighting for this country in the Marine Corps.
There's nothing offensive, it just says USMC, the bulldog, and it said if you're not the lead dog, his brother gave it to him and said, Don't ever forget you never be a follower, always be a leader.
I you know, little girl sitting next to him said, I don't think it's offensive.
And the principal, I immediately demanded to speak to the principal.
The principal would not confront me, and I immediately took my children out.
How can uh how can our men and women fighting overseas for any branch of the military be considered offensive and inappropriate?
Well, to a liberal it is.
You know that.
You know that there are liberal in classrooms and everywhere else who despise the U.S. military.
This is a school that I I wanted them to attend because they, and I probably shouldn't say this, they still hand out Bibles, they still have once a month Bible classes, and right in front in the main hallway, it has the flag that says, In God we trust.
So I was proud to come back to the Deep South where my my conservative heritage and roots all you know, and they they still bul you know believe in in in what used to be a great country.
And then to have this happen today, Lord.
I I'm at a law.
I mean there's a part of me that totally understands this.
Um not accept it.
Don't misunderstand.
I totally f the horror stories I've heard from parents about things their teachers do in in classrooms.
This I I but I I I can't imagine this is school wide.
That's that's I can see an isolated teacher trying to make this happen.
But school-wide, I don't think I've ever heard of this.
I don't think I've ever heard of a student being judged unfit for wearing something military.
Maybe camouflage.
Well, you know, I can't even think of that.
I don't know.
Uh maybe somebody will have an answer to it.
What are you gonna do about it?
Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm seriously considered a going back to homeschooling or be a private school, but the last words I told them in that front office, those liberal Nazi pansies was what's next?
They can't wear the American flag on Cinco de Mayo?
And I left.
I left.
I'm I'm what'd they say?
They couldn't say anything because all they were seeing was my tail end.
Well, did you feel any satisfaction walking out of there?
Like you have no idea with both my boys under my arm.
I there's no way.
And I hope brother managed to get the hear that I I I stood up for him and his fellow, you know, Marines and all the other branches out there fighting that I will not, I will not tolerate it.
You can call me sugar babe darling.
Smack me on the bottom if you want.
Okay.
I I I want the country back.
And this was an absolute slap in my face, and I told him exactly what I thought in the office, and I took my kids home.
God bless you.
You did what you thought was right, what you had to do.
I I don't I don't blame you for being livid.
I just I I um I wish I had an answer for you.
This is what's frustrating.
I wish.
It's well well, that's true.
You know, folks, uh I did Snerdly is very wise to remind me.
I did mention things like this in the first hour to explain these overwhelming election returns.
It's not just the budget and spending and all that big issue stuff.
It's so many little things, just ticking people like this, and telling people they can't have a standard light bulb anymore.
And and then the go to TSA and you get groped uh or or felt up under the guise of being searched, or or I mean people are fed up.
They're fed up with being being told what they can't and have eat and what they can and can't do in their own yards and their own homes, and it's just it's not America anymore.
Now your kid can't wear a t-shirt given to him by a member of the U.S. military that espouses a positive character trait leadership.
It's it's little stuff like this that that that's causing this this about to boil over here.
The death of a country by a thousand cuts, not one giant swath like the budget is or the entitlement programs or that this stuff, which happens to you in your house, where you live every day, you come up against the sheer force of government like this or authority.
Uh just it it's it's rubbing people the wrong way.
Look, I'm I'm um I'm uh I'm glad you called Sandra thanks much from Ellisville, Mississippi.
I misread it.
Thought it was um Ellieville.
Mike, you have to have a bumper cart there we're not using.
Because I haven't heard Rock Me by Sheppin' Wolf in the bumper rotation in months, and I know it's in there.
We're just thinking anyway, folks, the tweet is for real.
This buzz features of Ben Smith, the guy used to be politico.
There he's he's tweeting that the White House is going to do a one-hour special called the Decision to announce Obama's evolution on gay marriage.
And the tweet of the day comes from a guy named uh uh Jerry Burney, and that is pink smoke is coming from the White House chimney.
Also, big news.
The Rush Babes for America Facebook page has been up since the third hour of yesterday's program.
Twenty-four hours.
The National Organization for Women Facebook page has been up for four years.
We have surpassed them.
The Rush Babes for America page has more followers, more friends than the National Organization for Women Facebook page.
We're about th what is it?
Uh it's changing just like a couple seconds ago was thirty thousand five hundred and the nags are at twenty eight thousand one hundred.
We are zooming past them.
And it's just it's gonna continue.
So you uh in this audience, the Rush Babes, are showing that there are more of you than there are friends of the National Organization for Women.
Now I fully expect to start trying to pad their numbers.
One other thing about women, I don't have time to get into it now because we're practically out of time.
Hillary Clinton shows up yesterday with no makeup and no hairstyle.
And who is talking about it?
The left.
Cable networks on the left have convened round table discussions about this.
I kid you not.
Trying to ascertain what it means.
Now, is that sexist or what?
Okay, so Mrs. Clinton shows up one day with no makeup and no hairstyle.
And the left, I've got a soundbite of montage here from Good Morning America today with a bunch of women sitting around trying to explain what it means.
Have we engaged in this discussion here?
Have we attempted to analyze why Hillary shows up one day without makeup and no hairstyle?
No, it's the left doing this.
The left's trying to figure it out.
Analyze it.
Assign some meaning to it.
I can tell you what it is.
But I'm sadly out of time right now.
I guess I'll have to do it tomorrow.
But it's a simple what this is going on here.
She's no longer playing the game, folks.
Don't want to waste your time putting makeup on and styling her hair.
It's not who she is.
She wants to get up and get out of the house and get going.
Oh non charole.
It's no more complicated than well, it is.
But I don't have time to give a detail.
Well, it's official.
Obama has announced he supports gay marriage after talks with his wife and daughters, gay service members, and others.
Pink smoke coming from the White House chimney.
