	Here we are, folks.
	We're down to our final hour of busy broadcast excellence on the Rush Lindbaugh program of the EIB Network.
	Boy, it's all over the place now.
	Nothing is the same.
	Telephone number if you want to join us, 800-282-2882, the email address, LRushbo at EIBnet.com.
	I don't know how many of you are familiar, probably more than I think, with the website Rotten Tomatoes.
	Do you go to the website Rotten Tomatoes Snirdly?
	Well, the only reason I know about it, I'm not acting like you shouldn't know about it.
	It's a fan movie.
	Well, no, it's an aggregator site.
	They aggregate reviews of movies from professional critics and newspapers and cable networks and all that.
	And the only reason I've never been to the website is just when you buy a movie off iTunes, they show you five or six reviews from various critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
	What happened with Rotten Tomatoes?
	The Batman fans, fans of the movie got so upset with the negative reviews of the Dark Knight, they posted so many hateful comments.
	Rotten Tomatoes had to shut down their comment section for the first time ever.
	Nobody had seen the movie except the critics.
	The critics were ripping the movie to shreds.
	These Batman fans are like Star Trek fan.
	They love it.
	And the critics were ripping it to shreds.
	Now, the critics ripped it to shreds because it's not at all what the critics hoped or thought it was going to be.
	The bad guy in the movie is an Occupy Wall Street type.
	The bad guy in the movie named Bain actually captures the 1% in Gotham, the wealthiest 1%, and puts them on trial and tries to take away everything they've got.
	He demonizes them.
	It's along the lines of what's happening in the American political system today, the 1% being demonized.
	So this villain, but he's got an ulterior motive.
	He's going to blow the whole town up after he does all this.
	Nobody's going to be left standing.
	The 1% are just his vehicle to get where he wants to go.
	I mean, it really is right on the money, folks.
	And so the Democrats, since Hollywood movie is going to be a blockbuster villain named Bain, I'm sure that they thought there was going to be something here to take advantage of and a hype because the villain's name is Bain and the villain's name is Bain.
	And you got Romney over there, who's Bain Capital, who they're trying to demonize, and they thought they had something.
	And I'm not making any of this up.
	All I did was out these people, which is why they can't write about this, not leaving me out of it.
	But the critics didn't like it for this very reason.
	The critics are liberals.
	Most movie, I mean, there's some exceptions, but most movie critics are like anybody else in the media.
	Sports, news, it doesn't matter.
	They're all liberals.
	And to them, Occupy Wall Street, you know, Occupy Wall Street, they were heroes.
	They tried to make those people out to be the modern incarnation of the founding fathers.
	And really, what they were doing was trying to counter the real image of the founding fathers, the Tea Party.
	The Tea Party was genuine, legit, sprang out of nowhere, bubbled up from the grassroots, and it scared the Democrats.
	All these average Americans showing up at town hall meetings, upset at the spending and healthcare.
	Who do you think you come here and talk to me like that?
	So they created Occupy Wall Street.
	They manufactured it.
	They got together with their rent-a-mobs.
	They put together these things.
	And the Occupy Wall Street people, we all know what happened, rape, murder, all kinds of crap, destruction of property.
	I mean, it was an absolute pigsty wherever there was an Occupy camp.
	Even at that, even with that, the media lionized these people.
	Well, when these critics saw The Dark Knight, they ripped it.
	And the fans of the movie, without having seen it themselves, didn't lie.
	I mean, apparently the criticism was over the top.
	The Batman movie fans want the critics, everybody else, to love the movie as much as they do, love the movies as much as they do.
	So they just bombarded Rotten Tomatoes.
	They just let the critics have it.
	It was unprecedented.
	They had never had this kind of action in their comment section.
	So they had to shut down the comment section for the first time ever.
	This is after the people that run Rotten Tomatoes had pleaded with the commenters.
	Well, I can't tell you what they asked to do because they said, don't be a penis, but they didn't say penis.
	The people that run Rotten Tomatoes actually asked the commenters, said, please don't be a penis.
	Nobody had seen the movie yet.
	So because of this, Rotten Tomatoes is now considering doing away with their comment section altogether, or at least not open the comment section up until after the movie's opened.
	So people can.
	But these people got death threats.
	They got not only the people that run Rotten Tomatoes, they got death threats, they got rape threats.
	There were people threatening to rape them.
	Now, Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Warner Brothers, which owns the Batman franchise.
	A movie doesn't open until tomorrow.
	Now, look at all this pre-pub this movie has gotten simply because I accused accurately the Democrats of trying to make a connection to the villain in Romney.
	Look at the buzz this member.
	The movie didn't need buzz, but it was going to be gangbusters, blockbuster anyway.
	But look at the additional buzz that they have to be loving out there, simply because I, El Rushbo, had the courage and the guts to out the Democrats and their intentions with this movie.
	The Mexican government, ladies and gentlemen, has been working with the United States Department of Agriculture, the Mexican government, working with the Obama regime to increase participation in the food stamp program.
	That's why I read it slowly.
	You heard me.
	The USDA, U.S. Department of Agriculture, has an agreement with Mexico to promote American food assistance programs, including food stamps among Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals, and migrant communities in America as well.
	The USDA and the government of Mexico have entered into a partnership to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in America about available nutrition assistance.
	The USDA explains this in a brief paragraph on their reaching low-income Hispanics with nutrition assistance website.
	There is a website called Reaching Low-Income Hispanics with Nutrition Assistance.
	Mayco will help disseminate this information through its embassy and network of approximately 50 consular offices.
	So the deal is that MACO is going to help the USDA advertise the food stamp program to low-income Hispanics who need nutrition assistance.
	Now, ladies and gentlemen, isn't it so that the moral and the really compassionate thing would be to educate and inspire people to get to a level where they no longer need this?
	That's what we conservatives believe in.
	We would rather count or define compassion by counting the number of people who no longer need food stamps because they have become self-reliant.
	Now, what's Obama doing here?
	Obama is advertising now in MayCo for a permanent underclass.
	A question from the official program observer.
	Yes, what's the question?
	Why are we profiling?
	Because it has been determined that Mekans will be the new permanent underclass for the Democrat Party.
	They're made to order.
	By definition, they arrive poor.
	We want to keep them that way.
	How do you keep people poor?
	Well, you keep them poor by making sure they can't provide for themselves.
	That's how you prolong poverty.
	You can profile them for food.
	Well, I don't know if you're profiling them.
	What you're doing, well, you say targeting.
	We're offering a benefit.
	Profile is a negative connotation to it.
	But this was almost like we're singling them out for the benefit.
	That's what they are to believe.
	But you prolong poverty by ensuring that people cannot provide for themselves.
	That's what Obama's doing here.
	More and more Americans are going to be forced to admit who they elected.
	More and more Americans are going to be forced to understand what this man's plans for the country are.
	He is not interested in getting people off the welfare rolls.
	Don't forget, this is a guy who last week gutted the work requirements in welfare reform.
	Now, work is how you get out of poverty, folks.
	Work is step one to getting out of poverty.
	And Obama gutted the work requirements for welfare.
	Now, he's extending food stamps to a MACAN community in this country and using the MAKIN government to help advertise.
	So you'll turn on television on a MECO.
	And you'll probably hear it if you're planning on going to the United States.
	Once you get there, here's how you get food stamps.
	And the end of the commercial, I'm Barack Obama on behalf of the USDA, and I wrote and approved this message.
	So the message is Obama wants you.
	If you come, here's your food stamps.
	The partnership signed by former USDA Secretary Ann Veneman and Maycan Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Ernesto Derbes-Bautista sees to it that the Mayican Embassy and Mayican Consulates in America provide USDA nutrition assistance program information to Meican Americans.
	The goal for the USDA is to get rid of what they see as enrollment obstacles and increase access among potentially eligible populations by working with arms of the Mekan government in America.
	Benefits are not guaranteed or provided under the program.
	The purpose is outreach and education.
	The outreach, the education is learn how to qualify.
	Some of the materials that the USDA encourages the Mekan government to use to educate and promote the benefit programs are available free online for order and download.
	A partial list of materials include English and Spanish brochures entitled Five Easy Steps to Snap Benefits, How to Get Food Help, a Consumer's Guide to Food Stamp Programs, Ending Hunger, Improving Nutrition, Combating Obesity, and posters with slogans like Food Stamps Make America Stronger.
	Yeah, it's right.
	There are posters that are going to be out there.
	I got to say, food stamps make America stronger.
	When asked for details and to elaborate on the program, the Obama-USDA stressed, hey, this was established in 2004.
	It's not meant for illegals.
	It's meant for people already here who are starving.
	The partnership with the Mayican Embassy was established in 2004, according to USDA spokesman telling the Daily Caller in an email.
	USDA doesn't perform outreach to immigrants that are undocumented and therefore not eligible for food stamps.
	Jeff Sessions, Alabama senator, sent a letter to the Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack demanding more answers and documents pertaining to the partnership.
	But what more do you need to know?
	It's the EIB Network in El Rushbo, and we will be back right after this.
	Oh, oh, what is this?
	Folks, the next caller wants to try to help me through my dictation problem here on my iPhone 4S.
	I realize this is kind of like talking about golf to some of you.
	Stick to the issues.
	But believe me, it's one of my passions here.
	So indulge me.
	This is Sean in Bloomington, Minnesota.
	What's up?
	What's the story?
	Basically, the way Siri works, there's an activation ticket that gets sent to your phone every day.
	My guess is for some reason that's expired and it's not getting renewed.
	The easiest thing you can do is go into settings and then general and then Siri and turn it off right there.
	Yeah.
	Then reboot your phone, go back into settings and turn it back on.
	You know, I thought about trying that, but when you turn Siri off, it says we're going to take your kids and a bunch of this stuff, and it'll maybe a while before you get them back.
	If you do this, are you sure you want to turn it off?
	Yeah, it'll come right back on.
	Yeah.
	Okay, I'm going to try that right now.
	So you turn Siri off, then shut down the phone.
	Yep, turn the phone off, then turn the phone back on.
	And then turn Siri back on.
	Turn Siri back on.
	What do you do for a living?
	I worked with my father in a small business.
	Related to computers?
	No, it's just a hobby of mine.
	Yeah, that's me too.
	Me too.
	Did this happen to you?
	Yes, I've had it happen a bunch of times.
	I've actually built servers to do what Siri does, but it doesn't go through Apple.
	Well, now, fine.
	This is not, although Siri isn't working, but it's the dictation.
	It's all the same thing.
	So, yeah, you're right.
	Okay.
	Well, it's fastest.
	So you just figured this out on your own.
	This because this is a hobby of yours.
	Yep.
	Well, I thought about really, when you turn it off, you get a message.
	If you do this, you're going to lose everything Siri knows.
	It's going to be a while before it all comes back.
	And I thought, well, I'll try everything before I do that.
	But on your advice, I'll do it even as we speak in the next commercial break.
	Sounds good.
	Now, how Apple-eyed are you?
	You have an iPhone, obviously, right?
	Everything I own is Apple, practically.
	If they make it, I've tinkered with it, beta it, anything you can imagine.
	Well, you have an iPad?
	I do have an iPad.
	My wife doesn't.
	Well.
	Ho!
	Wait.
	Do you have a new Retina 15-inch MacBook Pro?
	I do not have one of the new MacBook Pros.
	I've wanted one.
	I've looked at them and drooled out of them on the stores, but I haven't had the cash to buy one.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	I'll tell you, you stay on hold, and I will try your suggestion.
	And if it works, I will send you a 15-inch because I've got three of them sitting in there.
	I'll send you one.
	You'll have it tomorrow if it works, if your idea works.
	Are you game to try that?
	I am.
	I hope it works.
	But you do.
	I have a couple other tricks that you could do too that aren't the number one fix, but this is a matter of time.
	Oh, no.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, I'll play.
	I'll play.
	So you hang on.
	This is Sean in Bloomington, Minnesota.
	You hang on.
	I'll try this during the break.
	And if it works, by the way, your drooling is very justified.
	This is the fastest with an SSD hard drive, but it is the fastest computer they've made.
	It's the best computer they've made.
	And the display is, it'll take you a while to grow into it, but it's nothing like it out there.
	So, okay, Sean, hang on.
	Thanks for the tip.
	It makes sense.
	My Siri ticket has certificates expired, and I got to reestablish.
	I'll try it.
	It sounds like it'll work.
	Okay.
	Hi, welcome back, folks.
	Rush Limbaugh, and this is the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
	Happy to have you along.
	Telephone number here, our final half hour.
	They're doing Opaline Friday on Thursday, 1-800-282-2882.
	If you want to be on the program, and provided we've got time to squeeze you in.
	I have tried Sean's method twice.
	I went in, I disabled Siri, shut the phone down, rebooted, enabled Siri, and it still isn't working.
	There's a real anomaly here, too.
	For those of you familiar with this, you know, the alert tone you get when you either use Siri or hit the dictation button, the alert tone, my alert tone is half as loud, if that, as when it's working normally.
	Now, what happens, this stuff is all your dictation sent to Apple servers.
	They transcribe it as text back to your device.
	It's amazing.
	It's literally what they've done is stunning, but it happens in split seconds.
	But I got a server problem here because I'm not getting back, and I don't know if what I'm sending is getting to them.
	So now what do I do?
	Sean, I told him I'd send him a new retina display, MacBook Pro 50, if it worked.
	What?
	It didn't work.
	See, Snergly's being a hard guy.
	See, if I wanted to go to the Obama route, I said, oh, well, I'll give it to him anyway, even that button wasn't the deal.
	But he said he had other ideas if this didn't work.
	So we'll maybe see if we get back in touch in the meantime.
	Here's Frida in Tucson.
	Frida, welcome to the program.
	Great to have you here.
	Hi, Mr. Ross Limo.
	I'd just like to start to say thank you to you for helping me understand what America is all about and what conservatives are.
	Well, thank you.
	I appreciate that.
	I really do.
	No, I was very naive until I get to, well, I heard you because of my husband and, well, UT makes you more famous more than that.
	But I was very angry after I hear Obama's comment about how we need the government to become successful.
	And that's totally wrong.
	I'm an immigrant from Peru.
	I lived in this country for 12 years.
	And we just got our first restaurant a year ago.
	And we did it our own.
	We worked hard for it.
	We stole working hard for it, but we never had any help.
	We never looked to get any benefits from that.
	And just to hear him say that we didn't do it, we didn't work hard for it is totally wrong.
	Well, you know what he's counting on, Frida?
	And he's right about this.
	There are many fewer business owners than there are employees.
	He's just, for him, it's a game of mathematics.
	It's numbers.
	He is trying to put together a voting block comprised of disaffected Americans.
	In this case, he's calculating that he can run around and criticize people who own businesses as greedy and selfish.
	And he got there by using the contributions of others, but didn't pay them fairly for it.
	He's counting on the fact that there are a lot of people, yeah, yeah, yeah, they owe me.
	I made it happen for them.
	Me and my friend, we made it.
	And Obama is telling these people, elect me, and I'll go get what's yours.
	I'll make sure these people pay you.
	Those are not the words he's using.
	No, and it just makes me angry because it's not.
	It's like this was the first time in 12 years I've been living in this country that I feel so qualified.
	You know, I have never heard how they about, oh, why block gays?
	You know, like, oh, you guys deserve this because you guys were back.
	Oh, because you're, and it's like, no, what I can tell is like this government, all it does is make people worthless.
	You know, I get to see it now because I have a cousin who was who had a job for the first time, and now he discovered unemployment.
	He lost his job and he's sitting at home.
	Let me ask you.
	Frida, let me ask you how you feel.
	You've been here 12 years, you said?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	You left Peru.
	One of the things you left, you escaped your country.
	You were escaping the government of Peru, right?
	It was a corrupted government.
	All right.
	So how do you feel?
	You leave Peru to get away from a corrupt government.
	You've been here 12 years.
	You've got to be having nightmares.
	Oh, my God.
	It's all starting to happen here.
	Am I right?
	Yes.
	Yes, totally.
	Now, yes.
	All right.
	No, even before when George Bush was oppressing, we felt this, you know, disoprim.
	Like, now it's worse.
	Now nothing is, you know, what it's supposed to be.
	People is like categorized.
	People are.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I want to make sure I heard.
	You felt oppressed when Bush was president, did you say?
	No, no.
	I never felt this way.
	Never felt this way.
	For him, ever.
	No.
	Now that's when I felt, oh, we all on the different work categorized for who we are, what color of the skin we are, we're gay, or yeah, how they don't.
	And it's totally wrong.
	You know, it's like we moved to this country to looking for the American dream.
	And we came because we know this country has opportunities, equal opportunities for everybody.
	And if you work hard, you can become successful.
	And that's what we did.
	We came with nothing.
	We worked very hard and we still do.
	And now we finally own our business.
	Yeah, well, millions of Americans know exactly how you feel.
	But look, I can't thank you enough.
	She basically said that this program helped her to understand America and conservatives.
	And I appreciate that.
	That's why we're here to help everybody understand America.
	Frida, I appreciate it.
	Thank you very, very much.
	Hang in there.
	We're going to beat this back.
	We will prevail, as they say.
	Okay, so we're going to try again.
	We're now back with Sean in Bloomington, Minnesota.
	Sean, I've tried it three times to no avail.
	I don't know if you heard me say I'm running beta on this.
	Yep.
	You heard that.
	Okay.
	I don't want to be too loud about that.
	I get my drift here, but I'm running.
	But it worked.
	I'm running beta 3.
	It would work for two days and then stopped.
	I'm running the same beta on an iPad.
	No problems whatsoever.
	It's just this one phone that is the problemo.
	I did look online a little bit while I was off when you were still on break and everything.
	There have been rumors from a couple people that I've seen that are big name in the iPhone world that have said Siri on iPhone iOS 6 beta 3 doesn't work the first time when you install beta 6 and a lot of them have said if you restore it and reinstall beta 3 it should fix the problem yeah that's that's the last thing i was looking at that's a pain in the head that was going to be your last dish yeah because you didn't want to do that Well, it's a three-hour project to do that.
	Exactly.
	But there's one other thing I had that I'm praying will work because I would love a MacBook Pro.
	What is it?
	If you go into settings and then general again, down at the bottom, there's reset.
	If you reset network settings, it could just be there's something blocking the connection to Apple and that resetting the network settings could free up that block.
	Well, yes, yes, I could do that.
	I'll try it.
	Just I'll lose all my network passwords, but it doesn't matter.
	I'll have to read this.
	Let's see.
	The only thing you'll lose is your Wi-Fi passwords that you've entered.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, I'm doing that now.
	We'll see what happens.
	So, Sean, hang on here.
	Don't hang up.
	Can you hang on?
	I can certainly hang on as long as you're willing to have me.
	Well, it's not going to be more than five or six minutes.
	I just got the rest of the show to do here.
	Just don't go away.
	We're going to put you on hold.
	Just hang on.
	Because I've got a couple of Romney soundbites that I'm going to.
	25 and 26.
	Romney still on fire.
	This is, in fact, Romney is saying here what I have been begging the Republican Party to say about Obama and the Democrats.
	I have been begging them.
	Would you please say this is ideological?
	So here's Romney.
	He's in Boston at a campaign event.
	And we have two soundbites.
	Here's the first one.
	There's some people who think what the president said was just a gaff.
	It wasn't a gaffe.
	It was instead his ideology.
	The president does, in fact, believe that people who build enterprises like this really aren't responsible for it.
	But in fact, it's a collective success of the whole society that somehow builds enterprises like this.
	In my view, we ought to celebrate people who start enterprises and employ other people.
	He said, if you think you're smart, well, there's a lot of other smart people.
	And if you think you're working hard, there are a lot of other hardworking people.
	Where was he going with that?
	What's he trying to say?
	That we don't celebrate and reward success and achievement?
	My own view is that if you attack success, you'll continue to see what we've seen over these last three and a half years, which is less success.
	I like this.
	There's some people who think what the president said was just a gaffe.
	It wasn't a gaffe.
	That's his ideology.
	The president, in fact, believes people.
	This is for three and a half years, I have been hoping to hear this kind of thing.
	It is.
	And by the way, it's the best he's ever sounded.
	And it's going to cause the drive-bys to get even angrier at him.
	But how bad can that be?
	They're already trying to hit him with everything they got.
	Here's the next one.
	America is a nation which is defined by people coming to achieve, to fulfill their dreams.
	We're a nation of risk-takers, dreamers, people that want to take a better step for the future for themselves and for their kids.
	And in the process of doing so, they make us better off.
	They lift one another.
	I just don't think the president, by his comments, suggests an understanding of what it is that makes America such a unique nation, why people have come here for hundreds of years.
	It's because this is the land of opportunity.
	We welcome people here with dreams and say to them, come build it.
	Not come here because government will give it to you, but come here because this is a place where your dreams will be good for you and good for our entire nation.
	I'll tell you what, it wasn't a gaff.
	It was his ideology.
	America is where people come to build it.
	It's right on the money.
	Now, we just hope this keeps up.
	Okay, Sean, are you back?
	Are you there?
	I'm still there.
	All right.
	I reset the network settings.
	I reestablished a password for the local Wi-Fi network here.
	Still, it doesn't work.
	However, since you eventually did tell me what will work, no doubt, that I had been putting off, and that is a clean reinstall of the damn thing.
	I'm going to send you the Retina MacBook Pro since you did know what ultimately would take to fix this.
	I just wish your first idea had worked.
	I hadn't thought, well, I did think of it, but I thought it'd be a hassle.
	It turned out not to be.
	Anyway, so I appreciate your assistance.
	I'm glad you took the effort.
	Here's a guy who recognized my passion and tried to help me.
	I like that.
	So, Sean, you'll have your 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina display via FedEx tomorrow.
	Folks, before we get out, I want to tell you at 2F by T, we have activated a new part of our website.
	If you go to 2FBT.com, it's the Hall of Patriots.
	And you'll find the Hall of Patriots logo, the bottom left of our homepage at 2ifbyt.com.
	This Hall of Patriots page is really cool.
	It brings everything to life that we're doing.
	You can see the actual winners of some of our giant sweepstakes and pictures of people recounting what their life has been like, the experiences after having won one of these things.
	You have to click on the Hall of Patriots logo, pictures, videos, the goat lady from Ohio.
	There's all kinds of funny stuff there.
