Time Text
Here we are, folks.
We're down to our final hour of busy broadcast excellence on the Rush Lindbaugh program, 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, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I don't know how many of you are familiar, probably more than I think, with the website Rotten Tomatoes.
You you do you go to the website Rotten Tomatoes Snurgley?
Well, the only reason I know about it, I'm not acting like you shouldn't know about it.
This is a 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 I've never been to the website, it's just when you when you uh buy a movie off iTunes, they show you five or six reviews from uh 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 Night, they posted so many hateful comments.
Rotten Tomatoes had to shut down their comments 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 fans.
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 one percent in Gotham.
The wealthiest one percent and puts them on trial and tries to take away everything they've got.
He demonizes them.
It's it's 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 gonna blow the whole town up after he does all this.
Nobody's gonna 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, it's Hollywood movie gonna be a blockbuster villain named Bain, I'm sure that they thought there was going to be something here to take advantage of and in 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.
I'm the I all I did was ask 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 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 health care.
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 of mobs, they put together these things, and the Occupy Wall Street people, we all know what happened.
Rape, murder, all kinds of crap, uh destruction of property.
I mean, it was an absolute pig sty, wherever there was an Occupy camp.
Even at that, even with that, the media lionized these people.
Well, when these critics saw The Dark Night, they ripped it.
And the fans of the movie, without having seen it themselves, didn't like.
I mean, they apparently the criticism was over the top.
And 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 because they said they said don't be a penis, but they didn't say penis.
The people that run Rotten Tomatoes actually asked the commenters, 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 comments section all together, or at least not open the comment section up until after the movies opened.
So uh people can but these people got death threats.
They got they not only the people that run a rotten tomatoes, they got death threats, they got rape threats.
They were people threatening to rape them.
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 and Romney.
Look at the buzz this movie didn't need buzz, but it was gonna 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.
Mexico will help disseminate this information through its embassy and network of approximately 50 consular offices.
So the deal is that Maico 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.
Oh, what's Obama doing here?
Obama is advertising now in Mexico 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 Meicans 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 you you you can profile them for food stamp.
Well, I don't know if you're profiling them.
What you're doing.
Well, it's you say targeting.
It's uh we're offering a benefit.
It's a profile is uh is a negative connotation to it.
But this was almost like we're singling them out for the benefit.
That's what 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 Maican community in this country and using the Makan government to help advertise.
So you'll turn on television on a Meiko, and you'll probably hear it if you're planning on going to the United States.
Once you get there, how here's how you get food stamps.
And the end of the commercial, I'm broke 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 Anne Veneman and Meican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Ernesto Derbez Bautista sees to it that the Mehican Embassy and Meican consulates in America provide USDA nutrition assistance program information to Meccan 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 Mehican government in America.
Benefits are not guaranteed or provided under the program, just the purpose is outreach and education.
The outreach the education is learn how to qualify.
Some of the materials that the USDA encourages the Mehican 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.
And say food stamps make America stronger.
When asked for details and to elaborate on the program, the Obama USDA stress, hey, this was established in 2004.
It's not meant for illegals.
It's meant for people already here who are starving.
The uh partnership with the Macon Embassy was established in 2004, according to USDA spokesman uh 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 uh 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 uh Sean in Bloomington, Minnesota.
What's up?
What what what what's the story?
Um 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.
Um 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.
I you know, I thought about trying that, but when you turn Siri off, it it it it says we're gonna take your kids and a bunch of the 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 it'll come right back on.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna try that right now.
So you turn you turn Siri off then shut down the 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?
Um I worked with uh my father in a small business.
Related to computers?
No, it's just a hobby of mine on the 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 I'm fine.
This is not although Siri isn't working, but it's the dictation, it's all the same thing.
Um so yeah, you're okay.
Uh-huh, but well, it's faster.
So you you just figure this out on your own.
That's because this is a hobby of yours.
Yep.
Well, I thought about really when you go when you turn it off, you get a message.
If you do this, you're gonna lose everything Siri knows, and it's gonna be a while before it all comes back.
Uh, and I thought, well, I'll try everything before I do that.
But now on your advice, I'll do it even as we speak in the next commercial break.
Sounds good.
Now what you you what how how apple-ized are you?
You well, you you have an iPhone, obviously, right?
Um everything I own is Apple, practically.
Yeah.
If they make it, I've tinkered with it, baited it, anything you can imagine.
Well, uh, you have an iPad?
I do have an iPad.
My wife doesn't.
Well.
Wait, how would 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 for 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 and I will try your suggestion.
And if it works, I will send you a 15-inch because I've got I've got three of them sitting in there.
Uh I'll send you one.
Uh you'll have it tomorrow.
If you're if it works, if your idea works.
Are you game to try that?
I am.
I I hope it works.
But you do.
I have a couple other tricks that you could do too that aren't the the number one fix, but this is a few.
Oh, now okay.
All right.
Well, I'll play.
I'll play.
So uh you hang on.
This is Sean in Bloomington, Minnesota.
You hang on, I'll try this during the break.
Uh and and if it works, by the way, your drooling is very justified.
This is the fastest SSD hard drive, but it it is the fastest computer they've made.
It's the best computer they've made.
And the uh the display is it'll take you a while to grow into it, but it's uh nothing like it out there.
So okay, Sean, hang on.
Thanks for the tip.
That makes sense.
My Siri ticket has a certificate's expired, and I gotta reestablish.
I'll try it.
It sounds like it'll work.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
Okay, it's a little bit of a look at it.
Hi, welcome back, folks, Rush Limbaugh, and this is the one and only Excellence and 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 uh provided we've got time to squeeze you in.
All right, I have tried Sean's method twice.
I went in a 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 uh either use Siri or hit the dictation button.
The alert term, 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 and it back to your device.
It's amazing.
That I mean it's literally what they've done is stunning.
But this happens in split seconds.
But I got a server problem here because I'm not I'm not getting back, and I don't know if what I'm sending is getting uh 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 so we see Snergley's being a hard guy.
See, if 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 a deal.
But he said he had other ideas if this didn't work.
So we'll um we'll maybe see if we get back in touch with the meantime.
Here's uh Frida in Tucson.
Frida, welcome to the program.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Nickel Roslema.
I'd just like to start to say thank you.
Um to you for helping me understand what America's all about and what conservatives are.
Well Thank you.
I I appreciate that.
I really do.
No, I I I was very naive until I get to well, I heard you because of my husband and well, your team makes makes you more famous more than dad, but um I was very angry after hear my Obama's comment about how we need the government to become successful, and that's that's totally wrong.
I'm an immigrant um from Peru.
I leave in this country for twelve years, and we just got our first restaurant a year ago, and we did our own.
We were hard for it.
We stole working hard for it, but we never had any help.
We never looked for um to get any benefits from that.
And and just just to hear him say that we didn't do it, we didn't work hard for it, it's totally wrong.
Well, he's you know what he's counting on, uh Friday, and he's right about this.
There are many fewer business owners than there are employees.
He's just for him it's a it's a game of 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 by using the contributions of others, but didn't 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 'em.
Me and my friend, we made it at Obama is telling these people, elect me, and I'll go get what's yours.
I'll make sure these people pay you.
He's not saying those are not the words he's using.
But no, and it it just makes me angry because it's not.
It's like this is the first time in twelve years having living this country that I feel so uh qualified.
You know, I have never hear uh how they about oh, why blog gays, you know, like oh you guys disar this because you guys were back, oh, because you're and it's like no.
I all uh what I can tell is like this government, all it gases 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 unemployment.
Frida, let me ask you how you feel.
You you've been here twelve years, you said?
Yes.
Yes.
You you left you left Peru.
One of the things you left.
You you escape your country.
You were escaping the government of Peru, right?
There was It was a corrupted government.
All right.
So how do you feel?
You've you you leave Peru.
To get away from a corrupt government, you've been here twelve years, you gotta 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 not even before when uh George Bush wasn't pressing.
We felt this, you know, disapprend.
Like now is worse.
Now nothing is you know, we're supposed to be people is like categorized people.
Wait, 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 for him ever.
No, now that's when I felt, oh we all on the different uh uh we're categorized for who we are, w uh what color of a scheme we are, we're gay or yeah, how they don't 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 work very hard, and we still do, and now we finally our business.
Yeah, well, uh millions of Americans know exactly how you feel.
But I look I can't thank you enough.
Um she basically said that this program helped her to understand America and conservatives, and I I appreciate that.
That's why we're here to to help everybody understand America.
Frida, I appreciate it.
Thank you very, very much.
Hang in there.
They're gonna we're gonna beat this back.
We will prevail, as they say.
Okay, so we're gonna try again.
We're now back with Sean in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Sean, I've tried it three times uh 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 uh but it it it worked.
I'm running beta three, 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 problem.
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 um iPhone world that have said Siri on iPhone iOS six beta three doesn't work the first time when you install beta six.
And a lot of them have said if you restore it and reinstall beta three, it should fix the problem.
Yeah, that's the that's the last thing I was looking at.
That's a pain in the that was gonna be your last digital.
Well, it's it that's a it's a three-hour project to do that.
Yeah, exactly.
But there was one other thing I had that I'm praying will work because I would love a MacBook Pro, but what is it?
If you go if you go into settings and then uh 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, I can yes, yes, I could do that.
I'll try it.
I'll lose all my network passwords, but it doesn't matter.
I'll have to read this.
Let's see.
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 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 Romney sound bites that have come with 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, would you please say this is ideological?
So here's Ronnie.
He's in Boston at a campaign event.
And we have uh two sound bites.
Here's the first one.
There's some people who think what the president said was just a gaff.
It wasn't a gaff.
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 gaff.
It wasn't a gaff.
That's his ideology.
The president in fact believes people.
This is this is for three and a half years I have been hoping to hear this kind of thing.
It is.
And and by the by the way, it's the best he's ever sounded.
And it's going to cause the drive-by 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 gaffe.
It was his ideology.
America is where people come to build it.
It's right on the money.
I'm still right I uh I I I uh reset the network settings.
I re-established 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 gonna send you the retina MacBook first, since you did know what ultimately would take to fix this.
Uh I just I just wish your first idea had worked.
It's I hadn't thought well, I did think of it, but I thought it'd be a hassle.
Turned out not to be.
But 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 two if by tea.
We have activated a new part of our website.
You go to twoif by tea.com.
Uh it's the Hall of Patriots.
And you'll find the Hall of Patriots logo, the bottom left of our homepage at 2ifyt.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 see 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, uh the goat lady from Ohio.
There's all kinds of funny stuff there.
2ifyT.com.
Look for the Hall of Patriots.
And quick timeout.
We'll come back and wrap it up after this.
Okay, folks, another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence in the can.
I don't know where these three hours went.
They literally zipped by.
We got Mark Stein here tomorrow, is that right?
In New York, he's going to be in New York.
You'll be in New York, you'll be in New Hampshire.
And I won't be either place.
See you on Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend, folks.
