Time Text
It just it's unbelievable to see the headline Manning not guilty of aiding the enemy.
He did aid the enemy.
Bradley Manning aided the enemy.
He's been found not guilty of it.
He was acquitted of the most serious charge.
That's the bottom line to this.
Anyhow.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
So I'm now being inundated with emails.
Rush, I can't believe how naive you are, thinking this change just took place in the last four years.
Folks, that's not what I was saying.
And I've I uh may not have expressed it uh properly.
I know there's been a 65, 70 year assault on this country by the American left, even predating Woodrow Wilson.
In fact, the assault on this country has been ever since it was founded.
I mean opponents of Constitution and all this.
I mean, I'm not naive about that.
Um I was trying to express how rapidly it seems we've reached the point of no return.
Uh look, it it's some things are very obvious.
I say Bush got elected twice, but one time he actually didn't.
Popular vote, he lost.
2000 Bush lost the popular vote.
Won the electoral college vote.
Uh in this in 2004, he won that one.
That was also a close election.
There were no landslides with Bush.
Um the eight years between Bush being elected in 2000, Obama being elected in 2008.
In those eight years, you had a bunch of young people who had been steeped, raised, exposed to leftist culture and pop culture coming of age, able to vote.
Same time, same eight years, a lot of older Reagan voters passed away.
And in 2008, some of them just said to hell with it and stayed home.
Didn't vote.
So that was a a dramatic demographic change.
And you add to it, 2008, 2012, but especially 2008, the Republicans presented hardly any opposition to Obama.
And even at that, McCain was leading Obama prior to the trumped-up financial crisis.
But I'm fully aware it's been a 50-year assault.
That students in the in the public school system and American universities have been marinated in liberalism and so forth.
I I'm not it's it's I guess the most accurate way for me to express what I'm talking about is how quickly we've reached the point of no return.
It does seem we have because there is there appears to be total capitulation by the Republicans to what the Democrats want.
Total acquiescence.
Those people are in the business of getting elected.
And would have to assume that they are doing what they think or what they have been told they have to do to get elected.
And most politicians are gonna be populist and try to reflect in campaigns what they think people want to hear.
Most politicians are.
Uh window to where culture is, as is pop culture, is a is a great window that allows people to see where the country at large is.
So it's it's just as I say, not thinking every bit of change has taken place here in four years.
It's just the tipping point has been reached.
But I'm still not confident that that's true either.
I've I'm not I haven't thrown in a towel.
I'm not sitting here thinking it can't be stopped and turned back.
I could be an idiot on that, but I haven't.
Um see, what did I want to get into here?
I gotta do the wiener stuff, because it's just funny.
The Clintons are just they're just loaded for bear here on the Wieners.
They're really every day they're getting matter and matter and matter at the Wieners' attempt to equate themselves with the Clintons.
It's funny.
The Clintons are literally outraged by this.
New York Daily News, Anthony Wiener would remain defiant even if the Clintons called for him to drop out of the mayoral race.
Wiener said, I'm not terribly interested in what people who aren't voters in the city of New York have to say in response to a question about whether the former president and Secretary of State who live in Westchester County could influence his decision.
Wiener said he only was thinking about New Yorkers, and I am focused like a laser beam on their interest.
And then here's this story of 78% of young women in a poll of 18,000 of them, folks.
Not a sample of uh the usual 1200, 18,000 women on a sugar daddy website.
78% of them, 26, 18 to 26, love Wiener.
I know it sounds funny, but it is what it is.
And overall on this website, it's in the 60s.
Who approve of Wiener?
Here's a story.
Sally Quinn in the Washington Post blaming Huma.
Before we get into this piece, let's go to audio soundbite number two, because they they dovetail.
Last night, low information outreach, folks.
My efforts to reach out to the low information audience continue to pay dividends.
Now they wouldn't be expected to know this at entertainment tonight because nobody in the pop culture reads Maureen Dowd any longer, but I want to, before I play the soundbite, I want to read for you how Maureen Dowd of the New York Times opened her Sunday column.
Quote.
Huma.
Huma Abaddon was raised in Saudi Arabia, where women are treated worse by men than anywhere else on the planet.
Comparatively speaking.
Wiener, the politician from Queens, probably seems like a prince.
Even though he's a punk.
So Maureen Dowd writes a piece on Sunday.
It says, Huma was raised in Saudi Arabia where women are, I mean...
The only difference between women and a bag of excrements a bag.
And so Maureen Dow is saying in the You know, Wiener would obviously look like a panacea compared to the men that she was exposed to growing up.
Okay?
That's Maureen Dowd.
No conservative who wrote that.
Entertainment Tonight, last night.
Here's a portion of a report by the co-host Rob Marciano about the latest scandal involving Wiener and Huma Wiener, and of course, your lovable host, me.
What role does religion play?
Anthony is Jewish and Huma is Muslim.
Controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh weighed in on the air about their interface marriage.
Uma is a Muslim.
In that regard, Wiener ought to be able to get away with anything.
Muslim women don't have any power, right?
Muslim women are beheaded, stoned, whatever, if they drive, have affairs.
And so in certain countries, Muslim women, if they're raped, are killed at their fault.
The Muslim American women are not getting stoned and beheaded.
And I don't think the reason why Huma is afraid to leave her husband is because she's gonna get stoned.
I didn't say that.
Did you hear that?
That was Robbie Ludwig, who is a psychotherapist.
Should have just stopped at psycho.
Okay, that was Robbie.
Robbie Ludwig's psycho, who probably thinks the Redskins ought to change their name.
We gotta hear this again, because everything I said here is accurate.
I did not say Huma's gonna get stoned.
I was talking about she's Muslim and Muslim.
All I said was what Maureen Down said in my own way.
It's I'm not making it up.
This is not even an attack.
We've seen the movies, the stoning of Soraya, Iranian woman.
We know we know what happens, Muslim women.
There's stories each and every day about it.
I know this just goes to certain things you cannot say without pop culture erupting and thinking it's profoundly controversial.
So they quote me and then they go to this psychotherapist.
Muslim American women are not getting stoned and beheaded, and I don't think the reason why Huma is afraid to leave her husband is because didn't say that.
Simply pointed out the differences in religion.
Maureen Dowd made the point that Wiener might seem like a prince to Huma.
So here comes Sally Quinn in the Washington Post.
This is kind of like Bob Schaefer's rant from Sunday, where he said the whole thing's sickening.
Except this rant is from Sally Quinn, who is the unquestioned social doyen of Washington Society.
When Sally Quinn writes about something like this, we're getting the view from the Mount Olympus of VC.
And in this piece, Sally Quinn even says that Huma standing by Wiener was such a setback for women everywhere.
But if I'm Huma, I gotta be a little why did anybody say that about Clinton?
What about Hillary?
If I'm Huma, I gotta feel betrayed right now.
I've been I've been Hillary's body woman, I've been loyal, I've been everything Hillary wanted.
And I'm trying to save my marriage.
And now all these liberal women are throwing me overboard when they didn't throw Hillary overboard.
Sally Quinn writes that Huma standing by her husband is a setback for women everywhere.
In fact, folks, isn't Hillary supposed to be the foremost champion for women in the history of the world, the world's best role model?
But Sally Quinn gives Huma hell here for following Hillary's example to a T. Everything Sally Quinn says in this piece about Huma could be applied to Hillary in spades.
But Sally Quinn doesn't even seem to notice that.
Now, arguably, the funniest thing about this piece is that after all of her lambasting of Huma here for being...
She calls her power mad liar.
And a setback for women everywhere.
After saying all of that about Huma, Sally Quinn suggests that Huma run for office.
Blaming Huma Ebbedon.
It's just amazing.
Byron York has a piece.
It says, The reason why Wiener can't get away with it, and Clinton did...
What do you think the reason is?
Why did Clinton get away with it and Wiener didn't?
Clinton denied it.
This is this is Byron York's theory.
Clinton denied it.
Jennifer Flowers went on TV and denied it.
And he gave his war room buddy Stephanopoulos and uh and the forehead every opportunity to go out and defend him.
He didn't do it.
He sat there right next to Hillary on 60 Minutes and said Jennifer Flowers was lying.
He didn't do it.
And it was only later that secret tapes between Jennifer And Bill showed up.
And it was on those tapes, by the way, that Clinton compared Mario Cuomo to the mafia.
And Bill had to do some fast dancing and apologize on that.
But he had denied it.
And then when when uh what's her face, uh Monica Lewinsky.
He denied it.
And there weren't any pictures.
He denied it.
He went on TV.
Remember, he wagged that long crooked finger.
I did not have sex with that woman.
Ms. Lewinsky, not a single time.
Ever.
I never asked anybody to lie.
Not a single time.
And now I gotta get back to work for the American people.
Turned around and walked out of the room.
He didn't do it.
Denied Paula Jones.
Denied all of them.
There weren't any pictures.
Wiener admitted it.
Once you admit it, they can't defend you.
And this is the point that Byron York makes is that once once once you admit it, you are not Bill Clinton.
And York even makes the point that the media, even though they knew Clinton was lying, they still had the denial and they marveled at how good he lied.
But Wiener sent the pictures.
Wiener admitted it.
Wiener resigned.
Clinton didn't do any of that.
And that's why the Clintons think that the wieners are pikers.
Because they have the stupidity to admit it.
And it yeah, and in the Wieners, furthermore, said there would be more.
The Clintons, even in the middle of proof, denied everything, including lying under oath.
There have been a lot of debate about whether Huma Abaddon, the wronged wife of New York sex fiend, and mayoral candidate Anthony Wiener is following a Clinton playbook and standing by her man on the campaign trail.
Bill and Hillary wrote volume one of the playbook by surviving a big sex scandal in 1992 when Bill was first running.
They added volume two by surviving a bigger scandal in 1998 during the second term in the White House.
Mrs. Clinton was a key player in her husband's defense on both occasions, and today she is close with Abdon, her longtime aide.
So why shouldn't Abaddon try to emulate her mentor's success?
because it won't work.
Abedin cannot follow volume one of Clinton playbook because Wiener can't deny everything as Clinton did.
Falsely, but successfully in 1992.
And she can't follow volume two because Wiener isn't president of the United States.
So the Wieners cannot use the Clinton playbook because they're not even following it.
And the Clintons are offended because that Wiener would attempt to elevate himself to the same vaunted perch that Clinton occupies.
Now remember, we're talking about the Democrat Party, so vaunted perches are different things.
But every day the stories continue.
How angry the Clintons are getting over this.
We'll be back with more in a minute.
Last night in the Bronx, after a candidate forum, Anthony Wieners spoke with reporters.
And he said this about uh people calling for him to drop out of the race.
I am not terribly interested in what people who are not voters in the city of New York have to say.
I am focused like a laser beam on their interests.
I'm focused like a laser beam on what they care about.
Dissing the Clintons there.
Because the Clintons, you see, don't live in New York City, live in Westchester and uh Chahuola or whatever, Chappaqua.
Uh and then they said uh furthermore, he well, he added this.
There are a lot of people who are saying a lot of things about this campaign.
I'm interested in what pundits say, I'm interested in what other politicians say, but not that much.
I don't care what the Clintons are saying.
Don't ask me about it anymore.
And Ryan Mitchell, NBC News Washington on the TV show today.
Terribly upset about Wiener.
Friends say that the Clintons view Wiener as that son-in-law you'd never want in the family, but there is no sign they are pressuring Huma to get him out, despite concern in their inner circle of potential fallout for Hillary Clinton herself.
But Wiener made it clear last night he doesn't care what the Clintons think.
Yeah, in a world news now, early this morning in ABC, Jeff Zelony, former New York Times now with ABC, the co-anchor babe said at a campaign appearance as late as last night.
People asked him about uh about Hillary and a relationship he has with her.
What did he have to say about that?
It's all about the Clintons.
And he said, look, I am only focusing on the people of New York City, the voters of New York City.
So he was not giving uh much respect to the Clintons.
Of course, they don't live in New York City, they live outside the city.
So he basically said he's not going to take his marching orders, his cues from the Clintons uh to voters last night.
This is not going to end well.
Somebody needs to remind Weiner of Andrew.
Oh, before even Andrew, Bob Torcelli.
Bill Clinton was sent to visit Doriselli.
Hey, Bob, how are you doing, buddy?
Yeah.
Yeah, I got this uh I got a piece of paper I need you to sign here on your way out.
Uh trust me, trust me.
I mean, you don't you don't won't mess around with this.
And then the same thing, Andrew Cuomo.
Andrew, you're gonna drop out his race.
It's just in the cars for you, buddy.
Your time is coming, but it isn't now.
Just sign this and uh and uh John Wong, you never see him.
Never to be cool.
And those two guys both split.
Wiener hanging in.
Yes, I think it's safe to say that the the young women, they surveyed 18,000 of them on the sugar daddy website, and 78% of the women, 18 to 26 on the sugar daddy whips safe to say they hope Wiener sticks it out and and hangs in there, and it looks like that's gonna happen.
Now, Snerdley just asked me, they're gonna do this Hillary minus miniseries, and how can they have one of those without me in it?
Because the Hillary miniseries is not going to focus on anything pre-Obama.
From what I've read, and of course we won't know till the thing airs, or probably we'll know before that.
But the speculation now is that the mini-series, the docudramas, there, I think there are two of them.
NBC is gonna do one and somebody else is gonna do one.
They're all gonna focus on Hillary from Secretary of State on.
Yes, there may not be a story, but there's a hell of a lot of history revision that has to take place.
They gotta turn Benghazi around and make her look good in that.
They gotta make her look good as Secretary of State when she bungled it.
Uh, they've got to make her look good losing to Obama.
They're not the Arab Spring has to look good.
They they can't, they're not gonna waste time on any of the pre-Obama Hillary stuff.
Not gonna waste time on I mean, she'll probably be mentioned as senator, but they're not gonna do anything from the 90s.
None of that from what I've read.
Of course it's gonna bomb.
Diane Lane is gonna star as Hillary in one of them.
My question remains, I just saw a picture of her, and I don't know if she can fill out those pantsuits.
I've said, I've said repeatedly, this is the kind of stuff coming up, by the way, that the 24-year-old girls just hate.
That Hillary is just like all the other guys.
She puts her pants on one leg at a time.
But Diane Lane, I mean, that's that's Snerdley.
How can you do a Hillary minise miniseries without best right wing cons?
What is the purpose of the mini-series?
It's to get her elected.
It's to get her nominated.
They don't want to rehash the Clinton stuff where she was the doormat.
That's the doormat era.
Hillary minus Bill is the focus of this.
Hillary is Secretary of State.
Hill.
You can't Are you kidding with the low information voters?
Some of these people are going to be watching this thing.
Never heard of Jennifer Flowers.
Never heard of Monica Lewinsky.
And to the extent they have, think it's all cool.
Not a big deal.
You're applying the wrong metrics to this.
You're looking at somebody doing a mini-series on Hillary to expose her.
That's not what this is.
This is building her up.
This is creating the Hillary that everybody thinks exists, that everybody hoped would happen.
This is to create a myth.
Not rehash what really happened.
That's why they've got to do it.
To overcome what really happened, not highlight it.
Some days you surprise me in not understanding the leftist media and the pop culture.
What do you think?
I don't think they care about ratings, snurdly.
They don't care about ratings in this.
I mean, granted, they hope a lot of people watch, but they're not doing this for ratings.
They're doing that, because once this airs, excerpts can air on cable news forever.
Once this airs, they have re-created the person, new image, everything.
This will become the new reality that everybody's exposed to.
It's simply the vehicle in the reconstruction effort.
Maybe not the best choice of words, but in the remaking.
They're finally going to put Hillary on TV in a miniseries as they always hoped and thought she would be.
Smartest woman in the world.
Whatever.
It'll be Chelsea will be in there.
Anyway, here is John in Detroit.
Welcome, sir.
Great to glad to know the phone service still working.
How are you?
Very good.
Thank you, Rush, for taking my phone call.
You you bet.
I'm a little nervous, so please bear with me.
Um you mentioned earlier that Sheila Jackson Lee, you know, they were talking about homeland security.
There's something a little more scary than that, and that is Japan, uh, China, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, have all met.
Um it was like big November 2010.
And what they're trying to do is come up with a currency that they can trade oil on instead of the U.S. dollar.
And I believe that when that happens, that will be the beginning of the class of the U.S. dollar.
And my question is to you, you know, do you think this is inevitable to get off of oil by you know of not using the dollar and the QE3 that they're doing Bernanke, uh $85 billion a month they're pumping in the economy?
Is that gonna help sway them to get off the U.S. dollar?
I just wanted your take on that, you know, if you don't mind.
Um here again, I'm sitting here in in a state of what many people might say naive.
Um I think right now this is bluster.
I think these guys are scared to death of our fracking.
I think they are scared to death that we have the ability to totally erase them from our oil equation, and so this is their response.
Oh, yeah, we'll just stop trading in the dollar and it'll collapse, and then you're on a bit depending on the Chinese.
Uh and I you know the the the the what was your question about Bernanke priming the pump with with 85 billion dollars in relation to this?
What was your point?
The QE3 that they're doing now, which is the amount of money that they're pumping in a month, and they get 85 billion a month that they're printing.
All that's doing is the value of the dollar continues to drop.
Yeah, that's true.
And uh with these countries, if they do stop trading oil on the dollar, there's gonna be no reason for these countries to then hold U.S. dollars.
Let me tell you something.
I I do not, and again, I uh in in this regard, I might be engaging a little naivety.
But John, these countries have been threatening to dump the dollar for years.
It isn't new.
It's almost as old, it's not quite as old, it's almost as old as we've been hearing the national debt's gonna destroy the country.
Now it's actually starting to do that.
But for most of my life, the national debt, you'd you'd be hard-pressed to see on the surface any negative impact from it.
Um the ChICOMs, I don't care what the Chicoms say, the ChICOM do not want the dollar devaluated.
The real reason that they have been threatening to dump the dollar is because Bernanke's devaluing it.
Precisely what you have said.
They have lots of debt in dollars.
They underwrite our debt.
Bernanke is devaluing it.
And they're upset with that.
And Bernanke is doing this.
But this is really hideous to me.
This, you know, you you you want to talk about insiders taking care of each other.
That's what this is.
This is this is the the moneyed establishment making sure that they're okay no matter what.
Holding on to their homes in the Hamptons is the way I describe it.
It also helps Obama create the illusion that the economy is doing well.
If it can point to Wall Street, and normally the Democrats hate Wall Street.
They hate the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
It's always been the Democrats who talk about Main Street instead of Wall Street.
Now all of a sudden all they care about is Wall Street.
Because they can point to it and say, see, the economy is growing.
Bernanke is hurting the middle class.
The very group of people Obama claims to be looking out for his 19th or 20th revision now on trying to rev the economy.
If these guys dump the dollar, it'll be devalued even more.
And that doesn't help the Chai comms.
Bernanke is devaluing the dollar, as you point out, with this $85 billion a month that's ending up going to the stock market.
It's an intricate route that it takes, but it's end up, it it ends up purchasing stock.
securities.
And the middle class are being killed by this devaluation because their real costs The cost of living are going up.
Gasoline, food, you name it.
The ball the dollar is buying less.
It's it's so bad.
It is so bad, folks, they're not even printing the money.
They're simply digitizing.
And this is, to me, this is really scary.
Look at you, for example.
Take take take your bank account.
Let's just pick a number.
Let's say that you've got your your bank statement every month says you got $10,000 in your in some sort of a let's just call it a passbook savings account just for the sake of this discussion.
You get a statement's got $10,000 in there, but there isn't $10,000 in a vault with your name.
And there's nothing in that vault worth $10,000.
Your $10,000 exists because there's a number on a piece of paper it says it does.
All Bernanke is doing is enlarging those numbers.
He's printing money, but they're not really printing it.
They're just going to the ledgers.
Folks, this it's really scary stuff.
Now, they claim they've got backup for it, that they're there that there is backing for the money that they're creating here, but they're not even printing it.
There aren't new dollar bills in circulation.
They're just digitizing this.
So I've been told, you know, as it's been explained to me.
Because this stuff is really foreign language.
These guys like it that way.
But I just all this this bluster about OPEC changing the dollar, uh They talk that way.
They're just they're just scared of fracking, I think, and our independence eventually.
Because I don't think the Chicoms in any way want that to happen.
She must have been busy.
Somebody asked me in the email why didn't they get Kathy Bates to play?
Hillary.
She's busy.
She done a lot of stuff.
And she does do shows on NBC.
Remember, folks, uh did an hour and twenty minutes nonstop with Greta today for her TV show tonight and tomorrow.
And there are things that I don't, I think, I'm pretty sure the things I said a couple that you've not heard me say before.
Not big deals, but it's not everything you've heard is the point.
10 o'clock Eastern Fox News Channel.
And they say I look good.
And that's really when you're talking TV, all that matters at the end of the day.
Thanks for being with us today, folks.
Sadly, we are out of busy broadcast moments, but I will be back before 21 hours from now, because at 10 o'clock Eastern, another appearance on Greta on the Fox News channels.
Thanks for being with us today, folks, and we'll see you tomorrow.
