| Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast. | |
| Hey, happy Black Friday to you. | |
| The day the Pilgrims mark down beads, 40% of the Plymouth Rock discount mart. | |
| America's Anchorman returns Monday, but this is your undocumented anchor man, Mark Stein sitting in. | |
| No supporting paperwork whatsoever. | |
| We're live at Ice Station EIB in Northern New Hampshire. | |
| And uh through the magic of state-of-the-art technology, it travels all the way from Ice Station EIB down to uh Mr. Snerdley, who I think is in Florida this morning and then back up to Oh, he's in New York. | |
| Uh so to uh to New York where where where Mr. Snardly is, and from there uh over to California and up to the satellite and out to the planet. | |
| Uh but it uh we're we're here in uh what I think is fair to say is not the the busiest uh part of America to be in on Black Friday, although the traffic was murder today. | |
| My my general store had a special on plaid, so you know it was difficult getting around. | |
| But uh I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. | |
| If you're heading home from Grandma's, um the the TSA has a great Black Friday deal, two enhanced pat downs for the price of one, and with twice as many fingers, too. | |
| Uh and by the way, there's no need uh to get stuck in traffic by Gurner Woolmart or anything. | |
| There are uh bargains galore at uh healthcare.gov. | |
| Uh if you're a fit uh healthy 22-year-old male, you can uh pick up a terrific uh health insurance policy for just four thousand dollars a month. | |
| Uh it includes uh pregnancy, hysterectomy, everything you're gonna need. | |
| Uh and if you're at the Iranian nuclear talks, uh John Kerry says the Mullers are offering a great deal on centrifuges. | |
| Uh they'll give you two for the price of four and throw in a Death to America t-shirt and a uh novelty signed limited edition copy of Ayatollah Homeini's Fatwa on Salmon Rushdie with your name where Salmons used to be. | |
| So that's some terrific bargains at uh at the uh Iranian nuclear talks in uh Geneva. | |
| Uh I trust you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving, as as Rush mentioned the other day. | |
| Obama and the Democrats issued talking points for Thanksgiving. | |
| Because let's face it, you know, Thanksgiving with your family is really just another photo op uh where it's important uh to stay uh on message. | |
| Uh and the the the uh they they warned they warned that you may have uh one of those uh one of those uncles who listens to uh to rush limbaugh. | |
| So uh you might want to come with uh your healthcare campaign messages round the dinner table uh so that you're all ready with all your talking points when the the the cranky uncle who listens to Rush starts mouthing off about the president. | |
| Uh and uh and uh uh th I don't know how that worked out. | |
| It's very by the way, Byron York is a terrific piece in the uh in the Washington Examiner, I think it is today, uh, in which he talks about uh how he went to the headquarters, he was in Berlin recently, and he went to the headquarters of the old Stasi, uh which is the uh w with the secret police in Berlin. | |
| Uh and I I was there uh a couple of years back, uh, and uh it was f it was like fantasti fascinating because everyone you you met, uh they'd say that the last person you met had been an informer for the Starsy. | |
| Uh the Stasi used to sign up people's relatives to get them to spy on on their family members in case they were having dissident thoughts. | |
| Uh and uh and Byron York uh writes in the Washington Exhabiter that he went to visit the old Starsy Museum and uh uh noted how the state sought to transform everything into an aspect of uh state policy. | |
| That is what it means to be totalitarian. | |
| That's what we mean by totalitarianism. | |
| Everything is the state. | |
| The state is in everything. | |
| And when he went to the Stasi Museum, he saw all this stuff about how uh the East German government had its policy to transform uh family events such as weddings into essentially state occasions. | |
| They were to be renamed socialist celebrations, uh and they were about celebrating socialism as much as uh getting married uh or anything. | |
| And uh the uh the exhibition, Byron writes, uh notes tryingly Did not gain popular acceptance because in the end people wanted their weddings to be weddings and not socialist celebrations. | |
| And now here we are. | |
| Here we are, uh, in which the president tweets a photo of a young man sitting at a table with a turkey and a menorah. | |
| And the tweet for his the text for his tweet, I don't think he he writes his own uh tweets. | |
| I think they come from the same guy who loads his prompter. | |
| The the the text goes celebrating Thanksgiving, lighting the Hanukkah candles, talking about health insurance. | |
| Gotta love dinners like these. | |
| Uh so Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, whatever you got, whatever you got, these are just state occasions like everything else. | |
| And uh that's why the Democrats issued talking points for Thanksgiving. | |
| If you like your turkey, you can keep your turkey, period. | |
| Um I think my uh my apple pie had a pre-existing condition. | |
| I think I think it came from one of those bad apple policies. | |
| Uh anyway, it's the day after Thanksgiving, so I would love to know if you were at Thanksgiving dinner at down the other end of the table, your punk nephew starts raising some of these Obamacare talking points. | |
| Let me know how that that went. | |
| I would love to know how that happened. | |
| But look, we're we're equal opportunity guys here. | |
| Um liberals may have a few Obama talking points left over from lunch. | |
| Because given the amount of talking points he was uh he was putting out to you guys to use with your rush listening uncle at Thanksgiving. | |
| You may not have gotten to all the talking points. | |
| Uh so instead of, you know, the day after Thanksgiving making talking point soup, why not just call uh 1800-282-2882 uh and recycle your lamo Obama talking points with uh with us and uh and we'll see how it works out. | |
| Martha Stewart will join us in the second hour, by the way, to talk about how you can cut up your leftover Obama talking points and with just a few pine cones make them into an attractive center point uh centerpiece for your um Christmas buffet when when you'll presumably have a whole new set of Obamacare talking points for uh Christmas Day. | |
| Don't forget, by the way, it's November the 29th, November the 30th. | |
| Tomorrow is the day when health care falls into place, when Obamacare works. | |
| Uh starting tomorrow, November the 30th, Obamacare will work. | |
| So you'll have a whole bunch Mr. Sullo, oh Mr. Sullivan's saying they've walked that back now. | |
| What's the new date for when Obamacare will work? | |
| Wait. | |
| Oh, yeah, it's gonna be it's going to be significantly it's gonna be significantly improved by tomorrow. | |
| Uh you know, it's like your Christmas tree lights. | |
| Uh they won't all be flickering and flashing and blinking away in synchronicity, but there'll be two or three round the back of the tree that will be on. | |
| And that's how it's going to be with the Obamacare website starting tomorrow. | |
| It will be significantly improved. | |
| Uh and so they'll have a whole bunch of new talking points uh to issue to people for round the Christmas dinner table. | |
| But for now, if you're if you haven't, if you're a liberal and you didn't get to use all your Obamacare talking points over Thanksgiving dinner, uh then do or if people just got bored and wandered away from the table and got out their cell phones and called US Air and said, Hey, can you get me an earlier flight back? | |
| Uh and you're frustrated, and you want to try you've still got you've you've got all these Obamacare, you've got a turkey stuffed, you've got a 30-pound turkey that's been stuffed with Obamacare turkey uh talking points. | |
| Uh pull them out, brush off the gravy, brush off the cranberry sauce, and recycle your lamo Obamacare talking points with us. | |
| Because notwithstanding federal holidays, it's still the end of the week, and you know what that means. | |
| Live from ice stationed EIB, it's open line Friday. | |
| Yes, 1-800-282-2882, uh open line Black Friday. | |
| You know how this works normally. | |
| Monday to Thursday, a trained broadcast specialist retains ruthless control of the show. | |
| It's like Obama's Thanksgiving dinner. | |
| You're not permitted to deviate from the script at all. | |
| But on Friday, anything goes. | |
| Uh so you can raise any subject you want to talk about, anything at all. | |
| 1-800-282-2882. | |
| But because it's openline, Black Friday, uh, if you if you raise one entirely whimsical, irrelevant subject, you'll also have the right to raise a second one. | |
| So if you want to talk, I always say that time that Australian guy called me up a few years back when I was sitting here, and I completely forgot I was on the air and we were talking about uh I think we were talking about Australia versus Sri Lanka trick cricket test course for about 20 minutes, and affiliates were abandoning the show by the dozens with every minute. | |
| Uh we'll do that again today. | |
| You want to talk, uh uh you want to raise whatever irrelevant subject is on your mind, you can do that. | |
| But if you want to talk about the uh Australian test cricket scores, we'll uh we'll take that from you as well. | |
| President Obama. | |
| Life goes on, the holiday is over, and not all families had a happy Thanksgiving. | |
| You know, it's true we all love we all love our families. | |
| You know, they're they're the people you're stuck with. | |
| You don't get you pick your friends, but you don't get to pick your your relatives. | |
| They're they they're they're family, and it's a different kind of thing. | |
| And some families are finding this Thanksgiving stressful. | |
| Take the take the Democrat family. | |
| This is according to a story about the the the things are not well among members of the Democrat family in Congress, uh, that uh is a heartwarming story reported by Laurie Kelman of uh the Associated Press in Washington. | |
| Um Elijah Cummings representative, senior Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. | |
| He he has said that uh members are now more cautious with regard to dealing with the president. | |
| Now this is extraordinary for him because Cummings. | |
| Do you know this guy Cummings? | |
| If ever you see um House Oversight hearings on anything, basically, uh the last couple of years, doesn't matter what it is. | |
| Benghazi, the IRS scandal, fast and furious health care. | |
| He's the guy who says, Oh, there's nothing to worry about. | |
| It's all working fine. | |
| Ben Ghazi was a crack operation, showed the State Department at its finest. | |
| IRS, there's absolutely nothing to see here. | |
| He's the guy who will defend uh Obama up to the hilt. | |
| And now he's saying tentatively uh that uh that members are beginning to grow more cautious with regard to dealing with the president. | |
| Now, then we move on to, and this is the this is the quote for the day about the pain in the Democrat family. | |
| Representative William Lacey Clay, Democrat, uh like Cummings, a prominent member of Missouri, uh, like Cummings, a prominent member of the Congressional Black Caucus, who personally likes Obama, struggled to describe the state of play between Congressional Democrats and the President. | |
| I'm trying to think if you can call it a relationship at this point, unquote, he said. | |
| I'm trying to think if you can call it a relationship at this point, he said. | |
| Uh that's the Democrats, the Congressional Democrats and President Obama. | |
| Uh and what uh what is he gonna do about that? | |
| We'll talk about that, and uh we'll talk about uh all the rest of the uh day's news and the week's news uh in uh in the hours ahead today. | |
| 1800-282-2882, what is he gonna do about it? | |
| By the way, this is one way to look at health care. | |
| An associated press story out of Santa Anna, California. | |
| An appeals court says a woman sentenced to life in prison for hiring a hit man to kill her cancer stricken husband must pay nearly five hundred thousand dollars in restitution to his estate. | |
| Uh this is uh from um the Orange County Register, where uh I appear every Sunday, I I think it is. | |
| I'm in the paper every Sunday out there in Orange County. | |
| Uh this lady, uh Mrs. Sandra Jesse, uh, was convicted of murder uh for killing her husband because his colon cancer treatments were too expensive and were depleting their savings. | |
| Um I believe she's just been nominated for the new Health and Human Services Secretary. | |
| But we'll talk about that and a lot more straight ahead. | |
| Mark Stein in for rush on the EIB network. | |
| Mark Stein in for rush on the EIB network. | |
| Uh most important story of the day uh from Associated Press in Denver. | |
| Police say luggage belonging to 1970s rocker Peter Frampton was stolen by a man who took several other bags from Denver International Airport. | |
| Uh it was that was that by Peter Frampton, Mike, that that bit of intro music you just played? | |
| No, it wasn't by Peter Frampton. | |
| The only one I remember by Peter Frampton is that uh, Ooh, baby, I love your way. | |
| Ooh, baby, I love your case. | |
| That's what this guy was saying. | |
| Um, the way which had that thing uh he Peter Frampton used to use, the vocoda, uh, which he put in his mouth, and you go, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. | |
| Uh, and I don't know whether it would be tragic if this man at Denver who stole Peter Frampton's luggage stole his vocoda. | |
| Although it would make sense. | |
| I haven't I haven't heard uh uh his vocoda in whatever it is now, a third of a century. | |
| So maybe it was stolen from uh from Denver International Airport in 1978. | |
| Um as you know, uh this is a story Rush mentioned the other day. | |
| I'm an uh I'm an undocumented uh immigrant. | |
| So uh I was fascinated to see that an undocumented immigrant was a heckler at an Obama event in San Francisco. | |
| This was one of these, you know, real uh real tough ticket events, you know, a full it was uh uh toughest thing to get into, but this illegal immigrant was there and was the officially designated heckler. | |
| This is how uh by the way, this is this is how postmodern Americans governing institutions has become now. | |
| The president um uh travels everywhere to events now with a staged heckler uh to to heckle him uh and then he can respond to what the heckler is saying. | |
| And the heckler is like these has these talking points that the uh Democrats issue to people at Thanksgiving dinner. | |
| So this heckler, who was uh called Ju Hong, Ju Hong, and uh he was the officially designated Obama heckler at this immigration rally in San Francisco. | |
| It's an official position now. | |
| It doesn't require Senate confirmation, as far as I know, the uh designated Obama heckler. | |
| It's it's uh it the the um the appointment is within the gift of the president himself. | |
| It's like uh in England in medieval times when the king had his groom of the stool uh who who had to assist the king with uh his intimate uh bodily functions. | |
| Uh this is one of those intimate functions, the Obamacare heckler that the president gets to appoint himself. | |
| And for this event in San Francisco, the pre-designated heckler uh was uh this guy from South Korea called Ju Hong, who heckled Obama to haul halt all deportations for undocumented immigrants like me and Zhu Hong in this country. | |
| And he shouted at him, you have the power to stop deportation for all undocumented immigrants in this country, Hong shouted. | |
| And Obama read his response to the Heckler off the prompter, because it's all been rehearsed beforehand. | |
| You know, it's like it's like Broadway. | |
| They've been in tryouts in New Haven, uh, making sure that this heckler knows his lines and Obama responds to him well. | |
| Uh and uh and Obama goes, actually, actually, when I'm speaking as President of the United States, if I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so. | |
| That's reassuring to know, isn't it? | |
| So uh he told Zu Hong that unfortunately he doesn't have the power uh just to just to issue royal proclamations uh without having laws passed in Congress. | |
| But what what was interesting to me about this, right? | |
| We hear all this stuff about immigrants, we've got undocumented immigrants living in the shadows. | |
| We've got to bring them out of the shadows. | |
| Uh and uh and we've got to uh and and uh because they're just uh trying to uh work for their families and live the dream, living in the shadows. | |
| You can't get in to an event with the president without undergoing a background check. | |
| Without undergoing you know, if you're an American citizen, you were born here, you came over on the Mayflower, you've been here for centuries. | |
| You can't get the the president without handing over your social security number and undergoing a background check. | |
| You can't the president will not get to see nobody gets within nobody gets within a hundred yards of him without undergoing the background check. | |
| It's very different from if you want to go and see uh the Queen of Denmark or you want to go and see uh the uh President of Slovenia. | |
| You don't need a background check for that. | |
| But in the United States, you need a background check to get into any event with the president of the United States. | |
| You need a social security number. | |
| If you're undocumented, by definition, you shouldn't be able to get anywhere near the president. | |
| Yet this guy, this guy, an illegal alien from South Korea, who recently graduated from UC Berkeley, who is on Twitter and LinkedIn. | |
| Uh He has his own topic page at uh the University of California student newspaper. | |
| Uh this according to Mark Fricorian writing at National Review. | |
| The f the fascinating thing to me about this is that he got in to an event with the president. | |
| Uh and there's no there's no uh nobody gets near the president without giving their social security number or anything, but this guy gets in. | |
| And as I said, we've reached like the postmodern stage now of American presidential government. | |
| The citizen, the American citizen, can't get to see the president without undergoing a background check. | |
| But uh an illegal alien uh gets to be the designated presidential heckler in San Francisco. | |
| This guy, just another, as I always say, just another foreigner doing the jobs Americans won't do. | |
| Yes, Rush returns live on Monday, but uh it's open line Black Friday. | |
| Anything you want to talk about, you can talk about uh today. | |
| Uh by the way, there's no need if you if you do this Black Friday thing where you get up at two in the morning uh to go down and get uh trampled to death at the shopping mall, you don't need to get trampled to death at the shopping mall. | |
| Uh you can take care of all your Christmas shopping if you go to Rushlimbore.com, and uh they got uh all all the good stuff there, all the club gitmo uh stuff. | |
| You can get your uh EIB executive office chair and uh and everything you need. | |
| And you won't need to get trampled to death. | |
| So you can save yourself a lot of time and uh and instead uh it particularly if you're one of these uh liberal callers who we were asking for earlier, instead of going down to the shopping mall and getting trampled to death, why don't you uh call up and devastate me with your Obamacare talking points and trample me to death uh live over the airwaves. | |
| I was talking about this heckler, uh the un the the uh illegal immigrant invited by the president to this presidential event to heckle him. | |
| And he's like everything now. | |
| The president, by the way, these heartwarming personal stories, where his gracious majesty is giving a press conference and he and he uh tells some heartwarming human interest story. | |
| Uh before it was the lady out in Seattle, I think it was, who'd managed to get some great health. | |
| She was a single mom, hardworking single mom, and she got some great health insurance at Obamacare uh.gov. | |
| And then it turns out two days later that in fact she found out they w they said, oh no, we miscalculated what we were gonna charge you. | |
| It's not seventeen dollars and eighty-seven cents a month, it's uh gonna gonna be two thousand three hundred a month, and she was furious with him. | |
| He can't touch, he can't touch a little human interest story now without it all crumbling to dust in his hand. | |
| So this Heckler said after the event, I I wanted to hear what the President had to say. | |
| But the fact of the matter is I was very disappointed by what he said, uh, Ju Hong told CNN after the event. | |
| Now now Ju Hong, he's an uh undocumented American from South Korea, uh, who's been in this country illegally for years, as I have. | |
| You can't get deported. | |
| I've been trying to get deported, and they refused to do it. | |
| It's murder, I said it's it's hell. | |
| Uh the this guy, uh Ju Hong, 24, he um he's he's uh he's he's complaining. | |
| He yelled at Obama that his he's been separated from his family for 19 months. | |
| Uh well that's because his family aren't there in the White House. | |
| They didn't get through security and stand in the White House uh in the official White House heckling party uh as the designated uh illegal immigrant at the White House immigration event. | |
| But Oba, I love this. | |
| This is the sort of this would instantly, if uh John McCain or Mitt Romney had said this, this is the equivalent of uh when Ob uh when Romney remember when Romney got into trouble because he said he had binders full of women uh and uh he was looking to fill a job and he said, Bring me binders full of women, and his minions did, and uh it was perfectly innocent remark from dear old Mitt, but the feminists went crazy about him. | |
| They said, you know, if you vote for Romney, you'll be he'll put you back in your binders and everything. | |
| Uh Obama pushing for immigration reform said he can spot an immigrant just by looking at him. | |
| Now he was getting a Tour of DreamWorks, the the thing, the Steven Spielberg, uh Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen studio. | |
| Uh as I was getting a tour of DreamWorks, I didn't ask, but just looking at faces, I could tell there were some folks who are here not because they are born here, but because they want to be here. | |
| He Obama has said he can spot immigrants just by looking at their faces. | |
| You know. | |
| We don't need no stinking birth certificates. | |
| He can spot immigrants just by looking at their faces, which I found very interesting, because I think I've got I've got the whole how to be American thing down pat now. | |
| I mean, nobody listening to me can tell I'm um I'm uh I'm a foreigner or anything. | |
| But uh Obama says he can tell you're an immigrant uh just by looking at you. | |
| It's some immigrant form of gaida that Obama has been blessed with uh and uh just like his immigrant gaydar goes off. | |
| You know, if if he were to walk into the room now, his immigrant gaydar would uh the meter would go zap the needle would be wrapped around the other end of the dial going to eleven. | |
| He can tell you're an immigrant uh just by just by looking at you, Obama. | |
| Uh but some uh somebody said to me, by the way, why does he need these hecklers? | |
| Because he wants it to look real. | |
| He wants it to look like and he can express if you're heckled at the event by these phony hecklers, you can express your fr he he does it to express his frustration at the limited powers he has. | |
| This is what's so bizarre about this. | |
| You you know, the the the uh immigrant heckler cries out, why don't you just suspend all deportations? | |
| And he goes, believe me, I would do it with a wave of my regal scepter. | |
| Uh but unfortunately we still have this thing called Congress that has to pass law. | |
| So he does it to show their left wing hecklers, uh, and that's why he said, No, no, let this guy stay, when the White House security who'd let him into the event, even though he was an illegal immigrant without a social security card in the first place, uh, they let the illegal immigrant in the event, and then when he heckles Obama, they move to kind of remove him to the event, having let him in there illegally. | |
| Uh and he says, no, no, let him stay. | |
| He's heckled from the left to show that he's really a man of the left, and he's just constrained by this tedious thing called the Constitution. | |
| And if it weren't for that, he would be able to do far more things. | |
| And it's uh and it's the complete opposite. | |
| Uh Roger Ailes told me this a few years ago, that uh when he was involved, uh Roger Ayles, who runs Fox News, uh years ago he was involved in the Nixon campaign, uh presidential campaign. | |
| And what he used to do for Nixon speeches, he used to uh he'd wait until it was about five minutes before the speech was due to the beginning, and there'd always be protesters. | |
| There'd be all these old, smelly old hippies outside protesting the Vietnam War. | |
| And Roger would go outside and he would pick the he would he would look around the protesters and he would pick the six smelliest, dirtiest, dingiest l lankest hairiest hippies, and say, hey, there's a couple of seats that have just opened up. | |
| Would you like to have a seat in the uh who like to have a seat in the audience? | |
| And the six dingiest, dirtiest, smelliest, most disgusting hippies would go in and they would uh protest Nixon at some point during the event, and Nixon would slap them down. | |
| So it's the complete opposite here, where Obama gets hecklers who basically support him. | |
| Uh Roger Ailes used to let real hecklers into the Nixon event because it improved Nixon's game. | |
| It would keep him on his toes. | |
| He'd have a grand time. | |
| Uh and he'd walk off stage, he'd put his arm round Roger Ayles, he thought, Oh, it went well tonight, really stuck it to the old hippies. | |
| Uh, and it was the complete opposite of what's going on here, where we now have fake hecklers, fake protesters to Obama's left who give him a a chance to say, Well, if only I were the king and I wasn't tied down by these tedious laws. | |
| This is a very, very weird kind of uh heckling. | |
| Uh i if you think of how tightly controlled now all presidential events, quite disgracefully and quite unnecessarily, all how tightly controlled these presidential events are now. | |
| Uh and and how bizarre it is that illegal immigrants, right? | |
| Illegal immigrants, uh who couldn't pass a background check, who can't give a social security none. | |
| The whole point about undocumented immigrants is supposed to be undocumented. | |
| And uh and they're led into these events uh to heckle the president from the left for him to explain why he can only fundamentally transform the country at a certain point. | |
| Let's go to Randy in Saratoga Springs, New York, the Empire State. | |
| Uh Randy, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show. | |
| Happy Black Friday to you. | |
| Well, thank you very much. | |
| It's an honor to speak to you, sir. | |
| I found something very positive about Obamacare that made my Thanksgiving pleasant. | |
| Oh, really? | |
| Against them. | |
| And then the conservatives. | |
| I've been a Reagan conservative for many, many years. | |
| In fact, I'm a disabled veteran and I served while he was my commander in chief. | |
| And they have finally seen what he truly is. | |
| And it's Obamacare that's possible for that. | |
| Obamacare was what caused them to see the light. | |
| That's because that's because they're they're they're young and they didn't realize they'd have to pony up so much money for health care. | |
| Is that how it works, Randy? | |
| That's what it was. | |
| When when my daughter my daughter, my son-in-law, and my grandson called up to get their quote on what their new uh insurance was gonna be. | |
| It was more than double what they had been paying before. | |
| And um it just proved that he was an incompetent, and I was uh it was a nice Thanksgiving. | |
| And it's an honor to talk to you, sir. | |
| I always enjoy when you're on. | |
| Well, I I hope I hope, Randy, that that's that that's it must be very weird. | |
| Sitting round the Thanksgiving turkey, you're carving the turkey, you're ready for the pushback, and your bleeding heart liberal daughters have suddenly seen the light. | |
| That's a uh that that's a happy Thanksgiving. | |
| I I hope it sticks around until election day, Randy. | |
| That sounds good. | |
| Uh I b I believe it well, these girls used to leave the room when I used to a Netflix archie bunker. | |
| Not anymore. | |
| Uh in fact, we had dinner at my eighty-eight-year-old mother and father's house. | |
| Right. | |
| And they were very happy about it all. | |
| Okay, that's uh that's good news. | |
| Uh and actually Randy's point here, by the way, is that this is real this is real life. | |
| Uh Paul Krugman in the New York Times says Obamacare is like Benghazi. | |
| Uh Republicans are flogging a dead horse. | |
| It's going nowhere. | |
| It's gonna the difference is, you know, the o the difference is obvious. | |
| Uh very few of us uh vacation in Benghazi, very few of us have plans to buy a condo in Benghazi. | |
| If you don't want to think about Benghazi, it's very easy not to think about Benghazi. | |
| Uh the difference with health care is that uh you you can you you can't do that. | |
| You can say I don't want to think about it, and next thing you know, you're opening a letter in the mail uh from uh w uh the signed by the eligibility committee uh telling them that they've kicked you off your health care and your policy's been cancelled and uh uh from uh Blue Cross Blue Shield or Signal or whatever whatever it is, and that's real. | |
| And that's real. | |
| And the Obamacare turkey points for Thanksgiving. | |
| The turkey points aren't gonna cut it. | |
| You can have all the cleverest turkey points in the world uh issued by the Democrat machine, and it doesn't, and it can't trump reality. | |
| At a certain point, you can trump reality, you can create your own reality when you're spinning a yarn about Benghazi, which is over on the other side of the planet. | |
| You can create your own reality when you uh basically bus in uh some undocumented immigrant to be your officially designated heckler uh at an event in San Francisco. | |
| But out there between Benghazi and San Francisco, there's this whole other place called the real world, uh, where people are going and down to the mailbox in the morning, opening up envelopes, and finding that whatever the president is saying at his rallies, whatever Paul Krugman's saying in the New York Times, whatever any of these guys are saying, uh you've just uh got to pay twice as much for your health insurance as you uh as you were paying previously. | |
| And that's reality. | |
| And at a certain point, liberalism cannot trump reality. | |
| Mark Stein for Rush, more straight ahead. | |
| Mark Stein in for us on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. | |
| Uh like to know how your uh how your Thanksgiving went. | |
| It's Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, uh, where uh where all the all the great bargains are. | |
| November the thirtieth is the day when Obamacare starts to become they're not said it's gonna be fully functional, uh, But it's going to be marginally less totally unfunctional starting tomorrow, November the thirtieth. | |
| This is the government of the United States' commitment to you, the citizen, uh that this they've had longer to build this thing than it took between Pearl Harbor and VE Day in the Second World War. | |
| Uh but uh they're not promising it's going to be perfectly operating tomorrow, November the thirtieth. | |
| But it will be, it will be marginally less totally non-working. | |
| And this is the government's commitment uh to you, the citizen. | |
| So uh they issued these turkey points for you to bring up uh over the Thanksgiving dinner table if you happen to be seated across from your uncle who listens to Rush or whatever. | |
| And I'm interested to hear from any Democrats who've still got some leftover uh turkey points that they didn't get to during Thanksgiving dinner. | |
| Uh they uh they issued Barack Obama.com hashtag they have a hashtag. | |
| This is how serious it is. | |
| You know, great powers historically uh throughout uh the world, uh when it is a really critical, serious issue, uh they give it a hashtag. | |
| And uh the Obama administration gave their Thanksgiving turkey points the hashtag get talking, and they issued these little mini ads. | |
| Uh this one's from Barack Obama.com. | |
| And it shows uh frankly a guy looking like a total metrosexual dweeb. | |
| Uh looks like he shouldn't be allowed to hold a carving knife, but instead he's uh he's he's he's one of these uh he looks like the sort of guy who uh should by sleeping in his own bodily waist at an uh at an uh some kind of uh occupy Wall Street protest, but he's uh come away from the protest and he's taken a shower and he's uh gone to Thanksgiving dinner and he's carving the turkey and he gets and he cuts his finger. | |
| And the Obamacare uh the Obama administration says food-related injuries happen a lot this time of year. | |
| It's a good time to talk about getting covered. | |
| So if this did happen to you, you know, you're you are like this metrosexual dweeb here, and you were carving the turkey over Thanksgiving, and you cut your finger and you're like bleeding over the turkey and people can't tell oh, wait a minute, is that blood on there or is it the cranberry sauce or whatever? | |
| Uh uh and as you're bleeding there is your finger is bleeding all over the turkey and you move your hand and it's bleeding into all the uh the sweet potato and the squash and you're bleeding over the pecan pie, the pecan pie, as they say on National Public Radio. | |
| Uh and then you say, is this it'd be a good time to talk about getting covered, right? | |
| I don't think so. | |
| I don't think when you're dripping blood all over the turkey, anyone wants to talk about your health care plans. | |
| They'd just like you to get the hell away from the turkey and stop bleeding all over the food. | |
| But I would love to hear from uh you if you have had family members who attempted to raise Obama turkey points, or if you yourself have some leftover Obama turkey points, because it would be Yeah, that's that's true, actually. | |
| Mike has just raised I think what the point here is that whether the administration is in fact encouraging people to cut themselves. | |
| I think that's is that an emo thing, Mike? | |
| I'm not up to date on youth culture, but I think isn't there, are there some young people who like to sit in their rooms cutting each other? | |
| Cutting themselves, actually. | |
| They just like to self-cutting, I believe they call it. | |
| It's some teenagers are prone to self-cutting. | |
| But if you are one of those teenagers prone to self-cutting, save it for the Thanksgiving dinner. | |
| And then everyone will have an opportunity as you're self-cutting to talk about getting covered for self-cutting. | |
| That's the message from your government this Thanksgiving. | |
| Let's go to Susan in San Antonio. | |
| Susan, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show. | |
| Great to have you with us. | |
| Thank you. | |
| May I congratulate you on running for New Hampshire Senate? | |
| Am I right in understanding that? | |
| That's right. | |
| You're looking at the President. | |
| You're talking to New Hampshire's next senator. | |
| Well, uh in in i like your great man in Texas, Ted Cruz, he's Canadian, I'm Canadian, I'm in favor of an all-Canadian ticket. | |
| So Kruztein 2016, Susan. | |
| I'm for you. | |
| Uh do you think there's any uh chance that uh the American public will go to Washington in mass and tell Mr. Obama that we want what you promised and you can keep your Obamacare? | |
| He could round up every union member in the country to be down there saying, in as much as we're exempted, we're all for it. | |
| So why doesn't the silent majority, for gosh sake, stand up and and uh let's say right now the vocal minority is leading the way and we're in their wake and I'm tired of it. | |
| Yeah, you're you're you're right about that, Susan. | |
| I mean, when people talk about the silent majority, the g the great problem is that they've got they've got jobs to do and they've got work to do. | |
| But that is a great point. | |
| I I gotta go for an EIB profit center opportunity, uh, but we will take up that point when we return momentarily. | |
| Michelle Obama says she tries not to tell President Obama what to do because, quote, he's got enough people in his ear. | |
| She says she tries, quote, to stay out of his ear. | |
| This is an interview with Barbara Walters that airs tonight. | |
| Actually, uh it's not clear he's got anyone in his ear. |
