Time Text
And we're back as promised.
You can count on it.
Say we're gonna be here, we're here.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, I'm America's real anchor man.
And no question about that anymore.
America's truth detector, America's Doctor of Democracy, and General all-round good guy.
Harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
It's a delight to have you, folks.
800 282-288-2, if you want to be on the program.
It's just one thing that happened.
I've I've I I gotta I allowed one interruption from what I said.
The agenda for this hour was going to be.
Because you have to hear this.
You just have to hear this.
This afternoon in Washington on the Senate floor.
You've heard, by the way.
I don't remember who has said it, but it's been said in recent days that if women were running this show, none of this would have happened.
There wouldn't have been a shutdown.
I think the uh the That's right, the lovely and gracious uh fashion icon, Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz said it.
But there have been a couple of others, and of course, some Alan Alda type guys have chimed in and agreed because they just want a little action.
I figured liberal guys, that's how they get it.
So it became sort of like conventional wisdom.
Oh, yeah, if women were running this way, we'd we'd have comedy, we'd have agreement, everybody be loving each other, be getting along.
I swear, people who say that.
My experience has been in business, in in math women are not pushovers, and they can be as vicious and uncompromising when they're on to something as any man can be.
I mean, I I find it insulting that women want to sign on to this silly notion that they're essentially all Betty Crockers talking to Julia Child in the kitchen, making sure everything happens right.
So, in that spirit, you gotta hear this.
Republican Senator Kelly Ayatt on the Senate floor speaking about the agreement to end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling in three, two, one.
My children just turned six and nine years old during this whole crisis situation, and my daughter Kate asked me, Mom, why can't you just get the government open?
What's wrong?
Well, why can't you get this solved?
I mean, such the common sense questions that I got from her and from our son Jacob.
And think about the lessons we try to teach our children.
Aren't we always trying to teach them that when they get into a conflict, you gotta work it out, that yes, you don't get to get everything your way.
And I had to say to her, you're right, Kate.
We gotta work together.
I am reminded of Jimmy Carter, who said once that he learned everything about nuclear warfare from a question his daughter Amy asked him.
I think that was while they were on the raft trying to defend themselves against that killer rabbit.
Um keep in mind Bill Clinton is just quoted today in the politico as saying conflict is great for politics.
Conflict equals passion, conflict equals drama, conflict turns out the base, conflict keeps people revved up.
He's just he was attempting to criticize Tea Party.
What he was actually doing was giving away Democrat strategy.
So now, and I know I'm I'm gonna get ripped to shreds for attacking Kelly Ayod.
And I'm not doing that.
I've you know Obama's tried this trick too.
His daughters asked him why he didn't fix the BP oil spill.
Remember that.
Dad, Dad, why don't you just fix it?
And she said that I realized that we got to roll up our sleeves and we just got to do it.
We just got to get it done.
Thank you.
Yeah, it was that's what it was.
Can't you just plug the hole, Dad?
I mean, there's a leak, right?
Oil's coming out of the hole.
Can't you just plug the hole, Dad?
And I realized that's what we had to do.
We had to go plug the hole.
And out of the mouth of babes comes all this wisdom.
And aren't we always teaching them about conflict resolution?
You know who's being taught conflict resolution?
Republicans.
Mom, why can't you just get the government open?
What's wrong?
Why can't you get this solved?
And instead of telling her daughter, well, Kate, because the Democrats don't really want the government open.
Instead of taking the opportunity, I shouldn't speak I not my kid.
I'm not raising the child.
I'll back away.
I just wanted you to hear it.
Now, as promised, we're at Cut 17 with Dr. Keith Abloe.
Here's the point about this.
Limbaugh theorem.
Limbaugh theorem establishes how Obama is not ever attached to his own policies.
That Obama is always seen campaigning against what's going wrong.
He's always seen trying to fix the jobs problem.
He's always seen trying to fix the debt problem, when in fact he's caused it.
But he's not seen as governing.
Therefore, he's not held accountable.
He's always out of Washington on a campaign trail, doing what looks divirgent eyes like a campaign appearance.
He's got an audience, campaigning against what's wrong in Washington, and everybody goes, yay.
And in doing so, he's never attached.
People do not attach him to the very policies which have caused this literal mess that we have.
Well, Dr. Keith Abloh's come along and explained why the limbaugh theorem works.
So let grab somebody at 16.
Let's do these the first one again before we get to uh the 17.
He got a question from Steve Deucey this morning on Fox.
So the average person might hear partisan rhetoric, but what do you hear in the words the president is using?
In the words hostage taking, being held for ransom.
He said that the Republicans are threatening to blow the whole thing up.
There's a real victim mentality here.
And it really explains the president's whole mentality and many of his policies.
That if he feels victimized and believes millions and millions of us have been victimized by America, well then that explains why he wouldn't negotiate with hostage takers and victimizers who have kidnapped him and threatened to destroy him.
And I think that's the way he feels.
And I don't doubt that for a minute.
I've referred to it as Obama's got a chip on his shoulder about the country.
Unjustly and immorally founded.
Slave country.
The rich and the white put this country together for them.
And they got rich and stayed rich forever.
And they got white and they stayed white by stealing it from everybody, from their own countrymen and from other countries around the world and this country.
And that's why he apologizes for, but he is a victim of it.
And therefore it needs to be transformed.
It needs to be made more fair.
It needs to be made more just, and we need to get rid of the absolute horrors that were present when this country was founded, and that's his mission, and it is.
He has said so, in so many words.
But there's another aspect to being a victim.
And that is when you're a victim, all you get is sympathy.
You don't get criticism.
How can you be critic?
You've been victimized by something.
Now he doesn't he doesn't say he's a victim, but he portrays himself as one.
And his uh uh other African Americans, and and he just acts that way.
There's no question about it.
Now, Deucey said, are you suggesting the president feels that he's been victimized by the Tea Party?
Going back to when his dad abandoned him, when his mother left him with his grandparents, when he describes his grandmother as intimating that she didn't trust men uh of color, uh that all of those things led him to feel victimized.
He's grown up to be the leader of the free world, uh, but it's a world in which I think he believes there are people out to get you and people to be helped.
So he aspires to the corner office for retribution in a certain way, to balance the scales to redistribute the wealth, because so many millions of us, he would say, have been hurt, victimized by the system, victimized by the Constitution, which is a flawed document, he would say, that's hurt so many of us.
The president sees himself as the victim in chief.
There's no doubt about this.
This is a grand slam home run.
Now, some of you might be, so what does this matter?
Well, it matters to me, because the reason it matters to me is because I think all of this is relevant in doing what we can to inform people about Obama, particularly now as they're going to be experiencing Obamacare.
Look at folks, he got away with not being vetted.
I have no the people's country elected somebody, they have no idea who they elected.
They were able to create fantasies about who Obama was.
And and many of them don't want to see the truth.
Many of them don't want to think they goofed up.
And there's a it's uh it's a hard road, but but this is right on the money, victimized by the system, in this case capitalism, and the very United States of America.
People that don't have any money, victims of the rich, victims of the powerful, victims of powerful.
He is there to fix it, not just for you, but for him too.
The Constitution victimizes people.
The Constitution is a document of negative liberties, he believes.
And so that's he he has sought refuge as a victim, and he has he's achieved it.
If you if you see Obama, if you look at Obama as someone who has a victim mentality, it explains a lot because the victim mentality relies on believing that you have been harmed, and that you're not responsible for the injuries that occurred when you're a victim, you're not responsible for what happened to you.
This is in fact what's behind this latest media insanity on the name of the Washington Redskins.
It's it's supposed it's victimizing people.
It's victimizing, it's characterizing, it's it's it's impugning, it's insulting, and they're being victimized.
And they're not doing anything, they're being injured.
We've got to stop this.
We've got to stop hurting people in this country.
We've got to start feeling sorry for people.
Also, when you're a victim, you couldn't have stopped what happened to you.
A victim is entirely powerless.
A victim is a mere pawn in a game of life.
A victim is mongo.
In blazing saddles.
And if you're a victim, Peter will leave you alone when you do it.
But your suffering because of your victimization makes you morally superior and deserving of sympathy.
And then you're immune from criticism.
So if you set yourself up as a victim of the system, and you're representing other victims, and the system is the country, and therefore the whole system, the country needs to be changed and transformed.
Um, there's another aspect.
Victims are not expected to lead.
Victims expect to be rescued.
And I think we could say that Obama is constantly rescued by the media, who also believes that he is a victim.
Could we not say that the media considers every African American in this country a victim?
Except those who don't feel like victims.
So Clarence Thomas, for example, or Thomas Sowell, or Shelby Steele, these men and women like them, they don't feel victimized by America.
They're proud Americans.
So they're worthy of scorn.
And they they don't they don't but aside from those relative few, every other African American is a victim of an unjust, unfair system.
This is why there's a never-ending push for affirmative action.
Quotas and making sure that certain minorities get certain jobs doesn't matter.
The percentage is way larger than the actual population percentage.
It's never satisfied because this victimization happened from the get-go and it can never be fully redressed.
And that's a political calculation.
And I think this synopsizes our problem in the country right now is that we're totally absorbed, whether we know it or not, with victims.
People who have been victimized, used, taken advantage of, stolen from, what have you because of the evils.
And that's why political correctness works, by the way.
The reason the arbiters of PC are able to get away with it is because part and parcel of all this is a lot of guilt.
People have been made to feel guilty because of all these victims.
The real interesting aspect of all this is that Obama himself positions himself as one.
I think Dr. Abloh here is exactly right.
Okay, brief time out.
We'll come back, and uh I'll do one of the two things I promise next, depending on the time, I think it's going to take me to do it.
Okay, the next uh half hour, next segment will do the Daily Cause Diarist and his discovery of how Obamacare's ruined his life and the Philomushnick uh Adrian Peterson thing.
I during the break, I found some things about Obama and his years as a uh teacher, a professor at the uh University of Chicago law school.
And it turns out that Obama actually taught victimhood at the University of Chicago.
You know, he's a constitutional law professor, scholar, or some such thing.
And I've got a New York Times story here from July 30th, 2008, and the title of the story is Teaching Law Testing Ideas.
Obama Stood Slightly Apart.
And from the article, Obama's voting rights class traced the election or the evolution of election law from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance.
His most original course, an historical political seminar, as much as a legal one, was on racism and law.
Mr. Obama was especially eager for his students to understand the horrors of the past.
His students say.
He assigned a 1919 catalog of lynching victims, including some who were first raped or stripped of their ears and fingers, others who were pregnant or lynched with their children, and some whose bodies were sold off bone fragment by bone fragment to gawkers.
He was a visiting lecturer, I'm sorry, he's a visiting lecturer at Chicago, and those are the kinds of courses he taught.
Now nobody denies that there were things in this country's past that are not honorable, good, whatever.
But it's a far different thing to believe that's what the country is today.
Our Constitution enabled all of those inequalities, if you will, to eventually be overcome.
And we even fought a civil war largely over all of this.
And those things don't happen in this country anymore.
This country addressed its moral failings.
And this country overcame them.
And it did so within the framework of its constitution.
But Obama doesn't see beyond the past.
And he this so he's he he's he's teaching this victimhood to his charges in class.
And when it comes to teaching election law and history in America, what does he focus on?
The absolute most reprehensible parts, and then he says this is what this country is for you because of your skin color.
And Ergo, he implants hatred and victimization in all of his students.
And of course, what was Obama's other job?
A community organizer, and what is that?
But telling everybody that they're victims.
So I think Dr. Keith Ablo is on to something.
Okay, the Daily Cause Guy.
Daily Cause is a far left wing, genuine lunatic website.
It is popularized by lunatic or populated by lunatics.
I mean, these are the died in the wool.
Robotic true believers.
They just they they fall for the leftist agenda.
I mean, they're victims.
They think everything going on is about making their life better.
They think that's what Obama's about, this Democrat Party's.
They think the Democrat Party exists to get even with all these people that have been victimizing them and have made them small and poor and average and whatever else they think of themselves.
And they just they buy it, hook, line, and sinker.
And so they think that Obamacare is an actual godsend that's going to give them all and everybody health care at very affordable and maybe even free prices.
And one of them, just the first of what'll be millions, well, tens of thousands, happened to encounter it the other day and wrote about it, honestly, and got excoriated by the other lunatic robots.
His name is Turge Caps, T I R G E Caps.
He's a diarist there, which means I guess he posts regularly.
And he's been doing it for years.
And he he posted and lashed out at Obamacare.
He received a notice that his monthly health insurance premiums will double.
He's drank Kool-Aids.
He logged on to healthcare.gov, did whatever he had and found out that his premiums are going to double.
And he wrote, I'm canceling insurance for us, and I'm not paying any effing penalty.
What the hell kind of reform is this?
Here's the full post.
Or uh more parts of it.
My wife and I just got our updates from Kaiser telling us what our 2014 rates will be.
Her monthly has been 168 this year.
Mine's been 150.
We have a high deductible.
We're generally healthy.
We don't go to the doctor often.
I barely ever go.
The insurance is in case of a catastrophe.
Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife's rate is going to $302 a month, and mine's going up to $284.
I'm canceling insurance for us.
I'm not paying any effing penalty.
What the hell kind of reform is this?
Oh, okay, if we qualify, we can get some government assistance.
Great.
So now I have to jump through another hoop to just chisel some of this off.
And we don't qualify anyway.
So what's the point of trying?
I never felt too good about how this was passed and what it entailed, but I figured if it saved Americans money, I could go along with it.
I don't know what to think now.
This appears in my experience to not be a reform for the people.
What am I missing?
I realize I'm probably going to get creamed posting this, But I can't imagine I'm the only Californian who just received a rate increase from Kaiser based on these new laws.
Update.
Updated the title for some requests.
I appreciate all the helpful comments he was being told where to go F himself and where to go this and what to say.
So he says, I appreciate all the helpful comments.
I'm now on baby duty, but I'll go through these comments later for more information.
I can't keep up with all the comments right now.
I really do appreciate the helpful comments, peace all and peace out.
So here's this here's this little guy who's run right up smack dab into a window of reality.
It's hit him smack right middle of the face.
And he can't understand it.
He can't this isn't any reform.
He doesn't know what happened.
His original headline was what the hell kind of reform is this, but the comments made him change it to something that was uh pretty much the same but less incendiary because the other lunatics knew that this was going to be ammo for us.
But but you see, what what's happened here is that Obama and the Democrats and the media did a great job of covering up the horrors of Obamacare.
They lied about it.
They have purposely kept from people the truth about it all during the debate, all during the passage, and even through the 2012 elections, and now into the implementation.
They're still lying about it.
But as this inst uh this illustrates, it's only a matter of time before all these people run up against this.
Uh I don't think if if if he were told that Ted Cruz was looking out for him and trying to help him.
He's he's a he's a cause robot.
He would launch into the pre-programmed racist, sexist uh hate Bush, Nazi, whatever response that you get on that site.
He wouldn't take Ted Cruz's help.
He would believe that Cruz is out to screw him, when in fact it's the guy he voted for.
His headline was originally, what the hell kind of reform is this?
He changed it to Obamacare will double my monthly premium after the commenters took him to task.
Now, if you look at the comments of this piece, I mean, folks, they are hilarious.
Most of the people commenting on this little guy's post think that he's just an outlier.
He's an exception to the rule.
This isn't the way it is for most people.
He just got caught by some weird circumstance of his income and his age and his wife's menstrual cycle, and who knows what else is a factor here.
But he's just an outlier.
It's not going to be this way for everybody else.
Or some commenters said, well, he had substandard insurance in the first place.
And now Obamacare just making him get reasonable and quality insurance, and he's having to really pay for it first time in his life.
So this just trying to tell this guy he can't be right.
It's just not possible.
He can't be right.
Although he says in his post that a Kaiser representative told him that Obamacare is the exact reason his rates went up.
He's not an outlier.
It's not because he's got an inferior policy to start with.
It's not because of his wife's menstrual cycle.
It's not because of how much he makes.
It's none of that.
It's because of Obamacare.
He was told that by Kaiser.
And then the other commenters, oh, that is just lying to you.
It's Kaiser after all.
An insurance company.
They're lying to you.
And then there are the commenters who think that this is fine.
And that people who won't get coverage will now be able to.
That this is what it's going to take.
And then what I think the funniest one to me, and actually the most pathetic one.
A bunch of comments urged the guy to not accept it.
You don't have to put up with that.
Go out and shop around for something competitive.
And I look at that, and I realize how right many of you are when you suspect how stupid so many people in this country are.
There isn't anywhere to go to shop around.
That's the whole point of Obamacare.
There isn't a private insurance market.
That's what the exchanges get rid of.
He controls it all.
Obama owns the insurance market.
Obama and the Democrat Party own it.
And their express purpose is to see to it, this is exactly what's supposed to happen.
This is what the sad reality is that this little Obama robot, this is exactly what's supposed to happen.
He's supposed to get mad.
He's supposed to blame the insurance companies.
He's supposed to think the private sector is screwing him, and he's gonna seek refuge in a government plan.
This is the plan.
He doesn't even realize how he is nothing but a pawn.
He's been totally co-opted.
He's an absolute robot.
He's a marionette, somebody's got strings attached.
They're dictating his every move here, and he doesn't have the slightest idea.
And then these other wizards of smarts are well, go shop around.
Find something that's more competitively pre.
What planet do these people live on?
There isn't anywhere to go shop.
By design and on purpose.
Well, there may be a limited market now, but it's it's deteriorating by the month.
And in California, forget it.
If if you don't accept what covered California or the NAALCP offer you, you're out of it.
You just but this little guy says he's not going to pay the fine.
So and folks, I'm telling you, this is gonna happen and is happening all over the country.
This is an absolute disaster.
You just and and some of this is even being covered.
More than I thought it would be, actually.
We'll see how if that uh if that keeps up.
Okay, brief time out.
Another uh programming format obscene profit break.
Be right back.
I'm gonna have a full-on analysis of the deal tomorrow, folks.
I haven't had a chance to get the whole thing, but I will.
Just as a as a as a as a warning or as a promise.
Um on Sunday, Phil Mushnick, the New York Post, wrote a column questioning the character of Adrian Peterson in light of the tragic death of his son.
And uh the rest of the media is fit to be tight over it.
Now, Mushnick's point was, okay, look, he's a great athlete, doesn't make him a great person.
Why is everybody writing about this guy?
He's a great person.
And there have been just countless sports writers and blogs and websites have just taken Mushnick to the to the woodshed.
You know the background.
Peterson's two-year-old son recently killed in a fit of alleged abuse by the child's mother's boyfriend.
Hours after the murder became national news, Peterson said he's ready to play football.
The media applauded he's gonna be able to balance everything and so forth and so now Mushnick in his column didn't like that narrative.
So hell with that.
He he thought the media praise for Peterson was unfounded because Peterson's just not a great guy.
Here's some quotes.
Thus it was unsurprising Peterson's downside went ignored.
In 2009, he was busted for driving 109 and a 55 zone.
He dismissed that as no big deal, which was doubly disturbing.
His older full brother was killed by a reckless driver.
Last summer, Peterson was in a club when he and friends were informed that it was closing time past 2 a.m.
Apparently Peterson and Pals felt they would decide when it was time to leave, time to close.
The police report noted three cops were needed to subdue Peterson.
So that's that's how it began.
And then he wrote, the suspect in the beating murder of Peterson's two-year-old is the boyfriend of Peterson's baby mama.
Now the casual, flippant, detestable common buzz phrase for absentee wham bam fatherhood.
Oh, they hated that.
Oh.
Baby mama, everybody loves that term, and here's Mushnick putting it in proper context.
Then he wrote, the accused, Joseph Peterson, previously was hit with domestic assault and abuse charges.
With his resources, how could Peterson, the NFL's MVP, have allowed his son to remain in such an environment?
Did he not know?
Did he not care?
Did he care to know?
Peterson couldn't have provided his son a better life, a longer life.
Money can't buy love, but having signed a ninety-six million dollar deal, he could not have provided his child, apparently his second from a baby mama, a safe home.
And then there was the concluding paragraph.
Maybe Peterson's son is just one more stands to reason murder victim, just another child born to another baby mama, one more kid who never had a shot anyway.
Maybe by now, even if we can't accept it, we can expect it.
And his point was, why are we lionizing these people?
I mean, look, this is this is this behavior is not worthy of hero worship or anything, and the sports writer community has just lashed out at Mushnick as an insensitive old times have passed him by insensitive racist who hates athletes.
And now there's news that there are two more young children that Peterson's fathered that nobody knew about, including maybe him.
Anyway, there's more to this, but sadly, there's also tomorrow.
I'm sorry, folks.
I thought I could.
Folks, that's it.
Sadly, out of time today, but there's always tomorrow.
And as I say, I'm gonna fully delve into this deal, summarize it, um, how it happened, and what it means more importantly, which is uh a crucial component here.
