Time Text
Greetings to you once again, music lovers, conversationalists, thrill seekers.
All across the fruited plane.
It's a thrill and a delight to have you with us.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program is 800 282-288 to the email address, Lrushmow at EIB net.com, fighting the ravages here of the common cold virus.
And I doubt that you would even be able to tell if I didn't tell you, but I feel compelled, because sometimes the sniffles go nuts.
And I can't hit the cough button as often as is necessary.
I can't answer that question.
What happened here yesterday after the program is still Project X. In fact, those of you, when you tuned in today, the ditto cam was on a wide angle mode because we had some super secret video production that we did in here after the program yesterday.
And I forgot to tighten it back to the normal frame.
I guess for the first segment or two.
So Dawn just asked me if what happened yesterday gave me the cold, and I can't tell you what happened yesterday.
It's Project X. But I I can tell you it's it's related to Rush Revere and Liberty and the Brave Pilgrims and the First Patriots.
Anyway.
Here's the phone number if you want to be on the program, uh, folks 800-282-288-2, the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I'm not quite through with telling you who Leland Yee is.
He is big in California, running for state uh secretary of state, state senator.
He was practically Piers Morgan's go-to guy for attacking legal gun owners.
Uh but you may not have seen it because nobody watched CNN, nor Piers Morgan, but Leland Yi was was a was a frequent guest.
And I mean, he when he would leave an appearance on Piers Morgan, he'd go straight to Twitter.
And here's a typical tweet from uh Leland Yee back on December 14th.
A year after Sandy Hook, let us recommit ourselves to working towards a safer society for all of us.
Now I wonder how long ye might have been allegedly helping to run guns.
I wonder if he was involved in Fast and Furious, for example.
But here's a guy tweeting that we need to recommit ourselves to working towards a safer society for all of us.
And this guy's out running M16s.
$2 million worth.
Now, as I mentioned, big city mayors have been caught up in recent scandals.
It's an AP story.
And what's missing from this AP story is party identification.
They don't tell you these Democrats are these mayors are Democrats.
But let me just run down for you here the story.
Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon facing public corruption charges after prosecutors said he solicited 48,000 in cash, airline tickets, a hotel room, and the use of a luxury apartment as bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as developers.
Patrick Cannon, the mayor of Charlotte, the latest mayor of a large city to face scandal in recent years.
Here's a look at some others.
New Orleans mayor Ray Nagan is awaiting sentencing after being found guilty in February of 20 counts of accepting bribes and other corruptions.
This is a guy that couldn't get school buses in action to get people uh moved out of New Orleans when Katrina was coming in.
Uh former Trenton, New Jersey mayor Tony Mack, convicted in February, taking money in exchange for getting approval in 2012 to develop a downtown parking garage that only existed in a federal sting.
He's awaiting sentencing.
He's one of a long list of New Jersey mayors to face corruption charges since 2000, including Lear's uh leaders of Newark, Camden, Patterson, Perth Amboy, Hoboken, Passaic, Asbury Park, Orange, and Hamble.
These are all Democrats.
Story does not say that, by the way.
They're all Democrats.
Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner.
You remember him?
He resigned last August after a number of sexual harassment allegations.
And he pleaded guilty to false imprisonment, misdemeanor battery in October.
Now, these are all Democrats, and all of these stings and scandal investigations took place during the Obama administration.
And they run the FBI.
Something going on here.
Would never expect this to happen.
Unless.
No, I don't even want to speculate.
I'll just take it for what it is at face value.
Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilt Patrick is serving 28 years in prison after being convicted in October of extortion, bribery, conspiracy, and other crimes.
Now keep in mind, as you hear all that, it's the Tea Party that poses the biggest threat to this country.
Yeah, Tea Party.
In October 2008, Kwame Kilpatrick spent 99 days in jail for his part in a sex and text scandal.
Former Birmingham, Alabama mayor Larry Langford took $235,000 in cash and loans and other things.
Now here's another.
This is a Washington Post version of the story.
FBI conducts raids targeting elected officials in three states.
Again, they don't say Democrats here.
Federal law enforcement officials arrested two public officials in California and in North Carolina and raided the orifice of a New York state senator in connection with separate corruption investigations on Wednesday.
Hundreds of federal agents conducted surges of offices around the San Francisco Bay Area and arrested several people on Tuesday, including California State Senator Democrat Leland Yi, and a former head of a Hong Kong-based crime syndicate, the Wo Hop 2 gang.
Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cameron.
William Scarborough, Democrat in New York, an assemblyman.
Investigators even raided the G. King Tong Freemason's office in Chinatown, which Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow runs.
He was one of the associates of California State Senator Democrat Leland.
Uh Yeah.
Now, folks, if this is strictly Democrats, which so far it is.
Now we don't know if there are other investigations yet to be revealed.
This mayor of Charlotte, by the way, has only been mayor for six months, and it didn't take them long to size this guy up, for example.
The FBI has been working on all of this for years.
Not a peep, folks.
In North Carolina, they've been setting up former mayor cannons since 2010.
They spent over 480,000 to do it.
I don't know.
It's hard to conclude otherwise.
It's like the FBI has been working secretly behind the scenes since Obama was elected.
And if it's if this sweep is strictly Democrats, which so far it is, what does that mean?
What does that tell you?
Does it tell you anything?
Um, that's that is a possibility.
It is it is entirely possible that what's going on here is that the head honchos of the Democrat Party are basically behind an effort to take out all of their bad apples before the election.
Make them old news by the time the election comes around.
The timing here is obviously curious, and it really is hard to believe the FBI would be working against the wishes of the regime.
Isn't it?
That's really hard to calculate.
So it could well be the Democrats just they know they got some bad apples, and they're gonna just clear the decks.
Just get rid of all of them early enough in the year so that when the election comes around and their opponents start talking about its old news.
Nothing to see here.
It's still, however.
Big news.
However, it's you know, it's it's not all that big.
I've got one soundbite on it.
I'm telling it's big, big, but in the drive-by-s you're not seeing a whole lot of it, is my point.
We did put together a montage.
Um we can call this the culture of corruption.
Prominent Democrat politicians arrested all across the fruited plain within the last week.
This a 44-second montage of various drive-by reporters from all over the country.
State Senator Leland Yee is in federal court right now facing a seven-count felony indictment of gun trafficking and political corruption.
His stunning arrest happened this morning as the FBI raided multiple Bay Area locations.
Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon arrested, accused of bribery, theft, and corruption.
Federal and state law enforcement execute two search warrants targeting the home and office of Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox.
The FBI raids the home office and albany hotel room of a state assemblyman from Queens.
Investigators carried away boxes of William Scarborough's files.
The assemblyman is accused of abusing his expense vouchers.
Former Illinois State Representative Keith Farnum is being investigated for child pornography.
Oh, big time there.
Keith Farnum investigated for child pornography and the assemblyman's accused of abusing his expense vouchers.
Would you like to see that?
How do you how do you abuse an expense voucher?
I know what the infobabe means, but that's not.
You know, in our common culture, when you start saying that somebody abused their expense vouchers, the low information crowds go, well, wall.
Gee, could you show me how that's done?
Is it cool?
And let's do this.
Dingy Harry.
Dingy Harry belongs in any discussion of a culture of corruption.
And in fact, years ago, the LA Times did a huge expose on Dingy Harry's fraudulent, smarmy, sneaky land deals in Nevada.
And elsewhere, yesterday in Washington on Capitol Hill, there was a Senate Democrat press conference, and Dingy Harry spoke.
And during the Q&A, an unidentified drive-by reporter and dingy Harry went at it.
Your decision yesterday to reimburse your campaign $17,000.
That's $16,000, but whatever.
Was that an acknowledgement that it's wrong to use your grandmother and you say that in the first place?
No, in fact, it wasn't.
We complied with all the rules that was said.
I just wanted to avoid, and I'm very fortunate that I can write that check.
So I'm it's all done.
But everything was complied with beforehand.
I'm not going to answer it.
Read my statement.
I'm not going to read my statement.
Shut up.
You know who you're talking to?
I've taken care of it.
I can write that check.
You can't.
I'm lucky I can.
I have money and you don't.
So shut up.
I'm Harry Reid.
Except he never talks that loud.
You know, speaking of having a cold, when I hear Harry Reed, I want to constantly either blow my nose or clear my throat.
That voice, it sounds like he needs a drain in there.
It just sounds like there's so much saliva floating around in his mouth that you just, I don't know.
It just it makes me it makes me nervous.
And let's go back.
Let's just listen to a montage of Democrats talking about this 2006 when they ran to recapture the House on the supposed culture of corruption that was the Republican Party.
We will expose the deepest roots of the culture of corruption.
This is a culture of corruption.
The Republican culture of corruption.
I know a little bit about corruption.
Political corruption.
The culture of corruption.
I think Pelosi was very tight with Democrat State Senator Leland Yee, if I'm not mistaken as well.
Okay, another brief time out here, my friends, as we continue on the Rush Limbaugh program right after this.
Now, one thing about the dingy Harry corruption, I just want to give you the details of um of what happened.
Dingy Harry's scandal this year.
Remember, folks, the reason why that I'm interrupting myself here to make an observation.
It was the House Bank scandal and the House Post Office scandal.
Beginning, you know, it came to light in uh 1990.
Maybe a little earlier than that.
But you can talk about the contract with America, and it it did matter.
But the only reason well, no, no, I can't say the only reason.
There were there were a lot of factors that went into the Republicans winning the House in 1994 for the first time in 40 years.
But the Democrat scandal machine, the House bank particularly, where members could basically just cash checks, regardless the status of their account.
They could they could be overdrawn tens, hundreds of thousands of dollars and not matter.
The House bank would carry them.
It was so bad it didn't matter what these guys were making.
They didn't have to live on what they were making.
The House Post Office scandal actually featured things like this.
Member Congress will walk into the post office in the House.
Remember now this before email had been popularized.
Walk in with a donation check of five grand and buy fifty dollars worth of stamps and take the change in cash.
The House bank was even worse than that.
And it was everybody, but it was run by the Democrats ran the House.
I mean, the Republicans hardly had 150 members.
Now there were a lot of things that happened.
This program had started for the first time nationally.
Democrats were being laughed at, made fun of, and criticized, and honestly spoken about.
And then the Republicans came along, and they did have an attractive agenda, the Contract with America and Strategy.
They nationalized the elections.
But I'm telling you, the scandal...
Did them in.
It was it was the element of the Republican victory, had nothing to do with ideas.
It was just we need a change.
We just need to sweep the place clean.
And with all of this, this is this, I think there is uh some credence to the idea that Democrats are trying to get all of these scandals nailed and out of the way before the election so that it's old news by then.
This doesn't make any sense otherwise.
The regime's not gonna sick the FBI on its friends.
Now, what Dingy Harry was doing, his scandal involved him giving almost $17,000 worth of gifts that were paid for by his campaign funds, which is illegal.
You can't take money in your campaign coffer and use it to buy presents for people.
Excuse me, and added to this, he further bought the gifts that he gave away from his granddaughter.
So the money stayed in the family.
So he had 17 grand in campaign donations that he turned around and used to buy presents for people that he bought from his granddaughter.
And it was like he uh not like you shouldn't know the law.
I mean, he got he got caught back in 2006 using campaign money to buy Christmas gifts and give out tips after Ritz Carlton, which is where his condo is, or was that what he was doing, and that's what he was denying.
Oh, I didn't know anything about it, but I wrote the check, and it was 16,000, not 17,000.
You gotta write.
But I'm lucky I have money, I can write the check.
You don't have any money, you couldn't write the check.
So leave me alone.
And that's it's it's tempting to say these guys cannot win a buff board fair fight arena of ideas.
They just can't, and they know it.
Excuse me, so they stacked the deck in their favors uh in their favor as many chances as they can.
Here's uh Patty Longmont, Colorado.
I'm glad you called.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi, Raj.
Yeah, just to change the subject a little bit.
Um I was wondering what you think about what's going on with Russia and the Ukraine and Crimea and what Obama's really thinking and doing there and it had anything to do with his off-mite comment about um flexibility after the election.
No.
No, no, no.
You mean when he told uh Dmitry Medvedev, hey, tell Vlad to hang in there, I have more flexibility after I win.
That was getting rid of nuclear weapons.
I think he went to the Hague to see that babe that runs the Netherlands he took the selfie with.
Oh.
Okay, so I take it with some Denmark.
Okay.
Well, it's close enough, though.
Nothing to do with annexing Crimea and building up troops in the Ukraine.
It could well.
It looked that's a good point.
You're the first to make that connection, and you may have a point.
I have to uh admit that.
And I apologize for coughing.
I really I'm glad you changed the subject.
It's a good point.
How many of you people are partaking of these electronic cigarettes?
How many of you are using e-cigarettes?
It's an increasing number of people.
But man.
The New York Times is just hellbent on wiping out this product.
And not just the New York Times.
Democrats everywhere are hellbent on wiping out this product.
You would think that they would try to come up with a way to tax it.
They haven't banned cigarettes.
I mean, they you've how many years have been talking about cigarettes as killer and ruination for our children, but they never ban the product.
They still sell it.
They're using tax revenue, sales tax revenue of the sale of tobacco products to fund children's health care programs.
They can't ban tobacco, but they are hell-bent on getting rid of electronic cigarettes.
And they're lying about things in the process of doing it.
There was a story in the uh let's see, Times on uh March 24th, so three days ago.
Selling a poison by the barrel.
Liquid nicotine for e-cigarettes, a dangerous new form of a powerful stimulant is hitting markets nationwide for sale by the vial by the gallon for sale even by the barrel.
The drug is nicotine in its potent liquid form, extracted from tobacco and tinctured with a cocktail of flavorings, colorings, and assorted chemicals to feed the fast-growing electronic cigarette industry, these e-liquids.
The key ingredients in e-cigarettes are powerful neurotoxins, tiny amounts, whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, can cause vomiting, seizures, and even be lethal.
For those of you in Rio Linda, it means they can kill you.
A teaspoon of even highly diluted electronic cigarette liquid can kill a small child.
There's only one problem.
There is not one recorded instance of it.
Because people do not drink it.
Nobody has been caught being killed drinking the stuff.
What happens is you put it in the electronic cigarette, and it's got it's got electronics in there because it's an electronic cigarette.
And there's a bit of battery in there.
When you puff on it, when you draw on it, it heats up.
There's a heating, it heats up the liquid, the tip of the e-cigarette.
There's a little LED in there that turns an orange, look like the tip of a real cigarette lighting up when you draw it.
And then it turns that liquid into water vapor.
And the water vapor is what the e-cigarette smoker inhales.
Water vapor.
There's no fire.
There's no tobacco.
There's no toxins, there's no carcinogens.
But the left is just.
I've told you my story of these things.
Hawaii.
I'm not going to bore you with it again, but uh they just don't want to see you do it.
It's just a bad, it's a bad image.
It's a bad example.
It look and of course it looks cool.
And that's not good for our children.
Now we can give them condoms all day long and say, go at it.
We give them condoms and we can then send them to Plant Parenthood, and that's cool.
That's e-cigarette.
No way, Jose.
We are gonna ram them down everybody's throat.
We're gonna cancel them, we're gonna ban them, we're gonna do whatever.
Reports of, this is from the New York Times story.
Reports of accidental poisonings, notably among children are soaring.
No, they're not.
Hang on.
Since 2011, there appears to have been one death in the U.S. A suicide by an adult who injected nicotine.
Well, wait a minute.
Injecting it's not drinking it for the cool flavor of it.
Injecting it means you'd have to take the vial apart to get to the liquid, and then you'd have to suck it up in a syringe and then reinject it into you.
One death.
That's right, Mr. Lumbaughness, one death too many that we don't need to do with our children and the people of our society.
Less serious cases have led to a surge in calls to poison control centers.
Nationwide, the number of cases linked to e-liquids jumped to 1,351 in 2013, a 300% increase in 2012.
Examples come from across the fruited plain.
Last month, a two-year-old girl in Oklahoma City drank a small bottle of a parent's nicotine liquid, started vomiting and was rushed to the emergency room.
In terms of the immediate poison risk, e-liquids are far more dangerous than tobacco because the liquid is absorbed more quickly, even in diluted concentrations.
Some clown named Cantrell said this is one of the most potent naturally occurring toxins we have.
He's talking about nicotine.
Nicotine is the most addictive drug out there.
Without question.
It's more addictive in crystal meth.
It's more addicted than heroin.
It's more addictive than cocaine.
It's more addictive than anything.
And you know how you prove that?
It's really simple.
Nobody, nobody has a pleasant first experience with it.
You ever seen somebody smoke their first cigarette?
They run to the bathroom all the while swearing they are never going to do that again.
And within minutes, they're taking their next drag.
Nobody has a pleasant first experience with it.
Nicotine can raise the blood pressure.
But here's the here, let me let me cut to the chase here, because all of this is is a the New York Times is basically blowing smoke.
According to there's a story the Times is not telling, or they're burying.
E-liquid, this nicotine liquid in the cigarettes makes up only a small percentage of the substance.
Substance says that poisoned there's a lot of more poisons out there that kill people and make them sick than this stuff.
Even if the number of e-liquid poisoning cases jumps to 15 times what it was last year, toothpaste is still the more prevalent poison.
Toothpaste, let me put this in perspective for you.
According to the National Poison Control Center, whatever, annual report from 2012.
It's the most recent one available.
193,443 poisoning cases involved household cleaning agents.
54,000 involved adult beverages.
11,000 were caused by ink.
Twenty thousand were caused by toothpaste.
Toothpaste, yeah, toothpaste.
You don't see the New York Times trying to ban that.
Now, you could be saying, well, wait a minute, toothpaste.
Toothpaste, that isn't as dangerous.
Liquid nicotine could kill people, even in small doses, toothpaste can't.
And that happens to be true.
However, despite that, not a single person, folks, has died from accidental liquid nicotine poisoning.
Not even any children.
There is no crisis.
There is just a bunch of biased nanny, Namby pambi liberals that do not want you enjoying yourself and want to do anything they can to control you.
I'm not defending e-cigarettes.
My point is if you want to do it, go ahead.
Nobody drinks the stuff.
It would never occur to anybody to drink it.
Nobody has.
There has not even been an accidental instance of this, even among our children.
And yet New York Times with a massive story on this.
The the the nicotine that's in one of these canisters that's in a cigarette, one of these vials, there's not enough of it to cause death in anybody.
And the Times mentions that, but you've got to wait all the way to the bottom of the story.
Um I've got nothing I've got no dog in this fight.
I'm not invested in it either way.
I'm just big into freedom.
And I just resent the hell out of a bunch of superiorist liberals coming along and treating everybody like they don't know what's good for them and lying to them and making things of putting all these crisis-oriented scare things out there about food, coffee, whatever it is.
They're nice if if they don't want to smoke these things or use them, fine.
But like every other thing that liberals get about, if they do it, you have to do it.
If they don't do it, you can't do it.
It's just it's time somebody just told them to pack it.
And put it somewhere where the sun don't shine.
I got a break.
Your phone calls coming up when we get back.
Here's uh here's Mike in Morgan Hill, California.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Rush.
Twenty years of dittoes to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Appreciate that.
Yeah, just um a small comment for you.
If you could do us a favor out here.
Uh when you're ref when you're referring to uh State Senator Leland Yi, Democrat from California, would you please include the word San Francisco titles?
Uh happily, happily so.
San Francisco Democrat, Senator Leland Yee.
Absolutely.
I mean I think it's probably proper.
It's uh correct identification.
We would greatly appreciate it.
And by the way, thank you so much for the books that you wrote.
My kids and I are thoroughly enjoying them.
Well, thank you very much.
We've donated you got some of that we donated, or did you um uh well does I appreciate your comment.
We've donated about twenty thousand, I think, so far, uh, to schools and classics too, not just our book.
We are donating uh oh all kinds of classic uh American authors, along with my classic works.
Uh to schools all over the uh all over the country.
And it's uh it's been really rewarding.
It's uh I appreciate your comment.
I really do.
Here's uh Fritz in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
Welcome, sir, to EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you so much, Rush.
I appreciate your taking my call.
You bet bushels of dittos.
Um I am wondering there are some denominators of life that are evolving here in our uh in our culture that are being so wonderfully illustrated by this news that you're reporting today.
Specifically, uh it be that the degree of extravagance of the behavior of these people, i.e., wanting to get rid of any second amendment Right to own a gun is directly proportional to the degree of guilt that that person knows he is guilty of.
So let's see.
How would I go?
The extravagance of a person's behavior is directly proportional to their guilt.
Right.
Uh let's take the instance of Ken Star.
Remember how he was accused and vilified?
Ken Star.
Can't stop.
Right.
He was a sex pervert.
Okay.
And people who were vilifying him were so guilty of the very thing they were accusing him of.
That's exactly okay.
That's it.
Yeah, it's a it's projection.
They will always identify what they're guilty of by accusing others of doing it.
And to the degree that they are being extravagant in this behavior.
True.
But in the case of San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee, uh, it's just allegations so far.
It's just the indictment, so we don't really know the degree of San Francisco, Democrat Senator Leland Yee's guilt.
NSA, the the dingy Harry Algore, Bill Clinton, Hillary.
Uh who who you remember uh the guy with the Buffant hairdo uh uh uh Blagoyovich?
The Buffant hair do the who?
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The cabbage cabbage patch kid looking guy.
Yeah, BluGoy.
Now is it?
No, that it was Bogoyich, yeah, it was Bogoi.
Yeah, yeah.
Was he behaving extravagantly, going on TV and view trying to defend himself with all the women?
Uh I don't even remember.
I'll take your word for it that he was.
Rush, you you'll be able to remember the guy who used to get up on the house, the floor of the house and say, beam me up, Scotty.
I believe he was from Ohio.
Oh, yeah.
Jim James Trafficant, what a great traffic.
When he turned his repertoire to the Democratic Party, then I believe it was to the Clintons, did he not?
Bang, right to prison.
It was, yeah.
Trafficant did turn his fire on somebody.
My I don't remember if it was the Clintons, but when he did that, miraculously indictments were handed up.
Do you know, by the way, in which instance indictments are handed up and in which instance indictments are handed down?
Yeah.
Grand jury hands them down.
Who hands them up?
Don, do you know?
It's interesting, isn't it?
Something you read the news, and an indictment was handed up this afternoon, blah, blah, blah.
An indictment was handed down this afternoon from the grand jury.
Which instance does an indictment get handed up?
I don't know.
And I brought this up one time, somebody calls it it doesn't.
It's never handed up.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I said, Well, I saw it in the media.
It was on TV.
It had to happen.
Somebody on TV handed, maybe it was a TV show.
Somebody handed up an indictment.
Yeah, Blogo went on the view.
He did.
Um.
Anyway, Fritz, I uh I appreciate the call.
I do folks.
I'm I meant to talk about this actually two days ago.
Have you seen, you have by now, I'm sure.
The story that because of the drought in California through up the uh throughout the Western Coast, the salmon are not able to get where they're supposed to get.
And they're and they would otherwise die.
So uh human beings are putting salmon in trucks and other containers of water and actually driving them to where babies, salmon babies, and driving them to where they would otherwise end up.
Now, is this not man tampering with nature?
Don't give me the drought is because of us and global warming.
That's that's not gonna fly.
Is that not us tampering with nature?
But we're not supposed to.
I thought that's exactly what we did was screw up nature by inserting ourselves in it.
Is that not precisely what we're doing here?
We are doing it, and why are we doing it?
Tell me.
The short answer is that we moved all those baby salmon to kill them.
