Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I didn't do it.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
You get the politico saying I did it.
You got USA Today saying I did it, and I didn't do it.
It wasn't me.
And it's fascinating.
It is literally fascinating that they want to take this episode and try to lay this off on me.
It's it makes me think.
No, I'll tell you what I'm talking about in a minute.
This is the hook.
It makes me think that we might have hit on something here.
The caller did it.
The caller did it, but they're laying it off on me.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's L Rushbow.
Here we are somewhere on the left coast, not identifying where, so the tax authorities here can't find me.
A telephone number if you want to be on the program's 800-282-2882, the email address.com.
By the way, this program, I'm gonna tell you something, folks.
This program gets action.
It was just last week, and we had a call from a woman.
Wait a minute, was it a call or was it a no, it was a call, and we found corresponding news stories.
We had a call from a no, no, no, take it back.
It was a it was a story first, then we got a call.
The story was that some woman in Maryland had her income tax refund absconded with by the IRS because some family member of hers 30 years ago supposedly owed Social Security something.
Or no, I know what it was.
Social security, the government was totally to blame.
Social Security had overpaid like a great great great great grand aunt of hers or something.
The survivor benefits.
And the and the governor said, you know what?
Your family member got too much money.
So we're just gonna take what your family owes out of your refund.
And this one's a well, I didn't do it, but it's powerless to do anything about it.
Then we got a phone call from a, I think another woman who said the same thing had happened to her.
And then more stories started popping up.
And we started talking about that quite a bit with some great frequency.
That I warned you that your refund, you may not see it.
If the IRS wanted, we're gonna collect close to what was it, two billion?
They were good, they were gonna try to reclaim two billion dollars from uh various taxpayers' refunds.
And as I say, this program gets action.
Headline.
Social Security halts collection of families old debt.
They were not debts.
They were mistakes in Social Security overpayment.
So some former recipient got paid too much, uh, benefit was too much, and didn't tell anybody.
And it took the government 30 years to figure out they'd overpaid Citizen X. And when they figured it out, they took it from Citizen X's next of kin.
But the family never screwed anybody.
They just got more benefits than they were supposed to get.
Anyway, the Social Security Administration announced yesterday that it will no longer try to collect taxpayer debt to the government if the liability is more than 10 years old.
The news comes after reports that the Social Security Administration was seizing tax refunds from about 400,000 Americans whose relatives owed money to the agency.
But they didn't.
It wasn't that the taxpayers had goofed up here, folks.
It was that the government had overpaid.
It was the mistake of the government.
Acting Social Security Commissioner Carolyn Colvin said that she ordered, quote, an immediate halt to further referrals under the Treasury offset program pending a thorough review of our responsibility and discretion under the current law.
The Washington Post is one of the uh drive-by outlets that reported last week that many of those who had their tax refund seized were unaware of the debts that their family members Incurred decades ago.
Typically Americans run up debt to the Social Security Administration if they receive a benefit over payment and don't return the extra amount.
That's not fraud.
That's a mistake by the government.
Who knows whether they got too much?
Who knows whether the amount the government sent?
Who knows whether your check is to?
What are you supposed to do?
Call a government, hey, you just sent me X amount.
Is that the right number?
I mean, who's even confident it could get anybody to answer that phone call?
Anyway, it shut down after less than a week of being mentioned on this program.
Now, we had a call yesterday from a woman who I could barely understand.
She was on a cell phone.
Her cell phone was not the cell call, it was not the best connection, and the woman did not have the phone properly positioned so that her oral cavity was near the phone's microphone.
Therefore, I could barely understand what she was saying.
I had to ask her to start again a couple of times.
Um I was able to read the transcription of the call, and basically this woman's theory is that Mrs. Clinton staged the whole incident where somebody threw a shoe at her.
And her theory was based on the fact that Mrs. Clinton looked like she knew it was coming.
She didn't look that shocked.
She had too many really cute pat answers just ready to go.
And then this woman sent it at Clinton's, they staged things, the Democrats staged things and said, you know, I hadn't thought about it, I said.
I hadn't even seen it.
All I had seen was the still shot of Hillary avoiding the shoe on the Drudge Report.
I frankly didn't care.
I don't care anymore about stuff like that.
I think that what the drive by's do, folks.
I'm I'm just trying to limit my exposure to them so as to not be affected by it.
It's hard, I know.
Uh expose yourself to them each and every day.
You can't help but but be taken in by it.
It's just so I you know somebody shoe threw a shoe at Hillary.
Big whoop.
Well, anyway.
From the political, Rush Limbaugh floats staged shoe theory.
USA Today, Rush Limbaugh floats staged shoe theory.
Identical headline.
Two separate news organizations.
No, you know what it is?
The USA Today has simply reprinted the political piece, but doesn't identify it as such.
Or maybe.
No, it's his credit politico here in one story and USA Today in the other, but it's the same story.
It's by Tal Copen is the uh writer.
Rush Limbaugh suspects that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's near miss of a throne shoe at an event last week could have been staged, he said on his show Monday.
No, I didn't.
While Limbaugh said on his show Monday he hadn't seen it and was thus ill-equipped to discuss it.
He still suspected the whole thing wasn't as it seemed.
No, I didn't.
I simply took a call.
This is what it, these people do not, whoever this Tal Copen is did not hear this radio program yesterday.
I guarantee you this person went to Media Matters or some other watchdog media site for the take.
I've got people telling me her reaction wasn't natural.
This is what I did say that.
I haven't cared enough to go try to find it.
I really haven't.
Somebody threw a shoe at Hillary.
Big whoop.
Maybe it's because my subconscious, I think it was staged or what it looked, folks.
I know those people so well, I don't attach much genuous to them at all.
Limbaugh is not the only conservative to raise questions about the shoe throwing at the bottom of the story.
It says Fox News contributor Bernard Bernie Goldberg.
His personal blog site posted a piece from a contributor on the real story.
And then he quotes some guy also thinks.
Now here again, a oh, a small teachable moment.
And it is in the same vein as I am the only voice.
I am the only person not going nuts wild and crazy over Cole Bear getting lettermanship.
and I didn't see it, and I admit that I didn't see it.
And I said, you know, you may have a good idea.
I told the caller I was being polite, you may have a good idea.
But it gets attributed to me.
Why is it attributed to me?
It is attributed to me because I seem to be the only contrarian out there, the only person not following the sheep.
And as such, I'm going to be the one that's going to be focused upon as the enemy, or as the as the opposition here.
But couldn't they?
Couldn't they get it?
It was a callers.
Look, I'm not I'm I'm not trying to shove this off on the caller.
This is about media accuracy and what it really means about conformity.
And if you don't conform, they're gonna come for you.
If you don't conform, you'd be an enemy of the state.
If you don't conform, you're obviously an idiot.
Grab I wasn't gonna do it, but since I brought it up this way, grab soundbite number one.
I don't have the transcript in front of me.
I guess this was on Comedy Central, is that right?
Some guy, some comedian named Louis Black.
Is there a comedian named Louis Black?
There is?
Okay.
Well, he was on Comedy Central last night, or was it it?
Was it comedy?
I don't have.
It was a national press club.
I can't read the soundbite roster.
I need a microscope for it.
So anyway, it was at the National Press Club as Lewis Black Guy, and he's being interviewed by this press club person asked about me not thinking that uh not jumping and doing handstands over Colbert getting the Letterman show, and this is what the soundbite sounds like.
That's the kind of sentence that's stroke-inducing.
I go through that paragraph, and about halfway through my there's like a slight twitch of the eye, and I can feel a blood vessel beginning to pump too much.
What could he possibly- He's an idiot.
He really is just a mean-spirited.
Here's how big an assault it's going to be on American values.
Stephen Colbert, uh Stephen Colbert is has five, I think five children, happily married, has this great family, was still hanging in with the Catholic church when people were fleeing on mass.
Can you talk about it?
He doesn't know.
I think he called me the P word, the PR word.
He called me uh uh, you know, that the male anatomy uh the word.
It's a badge honor here, folks.
Now look, see, here's the thing.
This is what they always do.
Ignore the body of work and talk about the symbolism.
We're supposed to ignore what Colbert did and does every night.
We're supposed to ignore the act and who he skewers and who he makes, and we're supposed to look, oh, Catholic.
Really?
Not a very good one, maybe.
Um family man, right?
Well, where is that represented in the body of work?
It's a little bit of a conflict here.
And this is what the left always does.
It's like that Washingtonian article on the Carneys.
You know, here's the left telling you that single parenthood is valorous.
Single parenthood is the answer.
It's the future, it's the way this country is transforming.
Single parenthood is not to be condemned.
You can't go back to the 50s.
You can't be Ozzy and Harriet anymore.
It isn't possible.
You can't be old-fashioned in the modern age, and yet the Carneys are leave it to Beaver.
The Carnies are Ozzy and Harriet.
Claire Shipman works when she wants to.
She earns much less than her husband, and it's perfectly fine.
She brags about the flexibility she has to be able to stay home with her children.
They don't get farmed out to daycare.
She fixes breakfast with them, she fixes food, she fixes the husband breakfast and lunch, and then it's just a beautiful family.
But that's not the kind of family you can have.
If you want something like that, you're old-fashioned and a bigot and whatever it is.
So the symbolism that they always focus to, or always ask us to notice.
It's the same thing as essentially take a look at all their social programs and don't examine the results.
We are supposed to judge the intentions.
And the intentions of all those people behind the war in poverty are good.
The intentions behind all those people on a great society are good people.
We really intended to do good things.
So don't examine that they're abysmal failures.
Don't examine the results.
Don't tell because the results don't matter.
Our big hearts, our intentions, what matter.
In other words, it's the symbolism over the substance that that uh that always mattered.
Anyway, they're really, really mad is the key.
I'm just a guy on the radio having fun, laughing and yucking it up here, and they are really ticked off that I don't think Colbert's a guy, and I don't even care.
I just snurdly asked me in an offhand moment, and I answered in two minutes what I thought of it off the top of my head.
I don't even care.
I haven't watched Letterman in ten years.
I'm not gonna watch it.
It doesn't mean I just don't do it anymore.
It's drive-by mainstream media.
I know what I'm gonna get.
Why?
You know, why flog myself?
Why watch that stuff and be punished?
It's not my idea of a good time.
But that the fact that I don't conform makes them really mad.
And now uh somehow I am responsible for the theory that Hillary faked the shoe.
They're really mad, folks.
From my standpoint, they're winning a lot.
They ought to be happy.
They just got the Mozilla guy run out of town.
They're now trying to get Condoleezza Rice run out of drop box.
They've tried, I mean one reason they're mad they haven't gotten me.
They've failed miserably at that, but they're gonna keep trying.
But they're never happy.
They're constantly angry and enraged.
And all you have to do to make them really literally enraged is simply say something that goes against their grain of conventional wisdom.
It's not really hard to do.
So anyway, that's the um show opened.
Did you know that the White House didn't know this until today?
Somebody at the White House, after that prayer breakfast that Ben Carson uh spoke two years ago, maybe three now.
I don't know, time flies.
It was a national prayer breakfast where Ben Carson got up and said what he would do with health care, how he would fix it and what's wrong with it, and everybody, oh, yeah, they put him on the national map.
It turns out that later, either that day or that week, Carson got a phone call from somebody at the White House suggesting that he call Obama and apologize for that.
Carson was told to call and apologize for embarrassing our young great leader.
Oh.
Well, I don't know or what, but there clearly was an implied or else.
Also, Bubba Watson won the masters on Sunday.
After all the hullabaloo at the course at the club after winning, there's the Green Jacket Ceremony's champions dinner, at about 12:30, one o'clock in the morning on Monday, he took his family to his favorite place.
The Waffle House.
The left is livid.
They are enraged that he would take young kids to the Waffle House and feed them poison.
I am not kidding.
They are enraged.
The left is outraged over this.
Some of them are that Bubba Watson has so much attention focused on him, would use that to set such a poor example by taking his kids to the Waffle House.
And we're back.
We're off to a rousing start.
As always, Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Before this gets out of hand, and maybe already is, this Colbert thing, the first thing, my comments about that actually are aimed at CBS.
They're the hiring agent here, and that's who I was really talking about, what their decision means.
I mean, Colbert's who he is, but I'm gonna tell you something, folks.
Nancy Pelosi's a devout Catholic too, and what does that mean?
She just got the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood, which is an abortion organization.
And she's a devout Catholic.
So what does it matter?
Dick Turbin is a devout Catholic and a and a priest to see that they say we're not gonna get in communion anymore Because he's not.
And all these leftists, they fall back on their devout Catholicism, but it doesn't mean anything.
They use it as cover.
They use it as symbolic symbolism cover.
If Colbert's a devout Catholic has five kids, I suppose that he must believe in traditional marriage, right?
And if he does, then he's a hateful bigot, according to the current definitions of the left.
But I don't even.
The way I was asked the question, what do you think of the decision?
And I've I'm definition of change of comedy.
What's funny, what isn't?
And I think it's a political hire by CBS.
There's there's no question in my mind that it is.
I have no dog in this fight.
I don't care.
I don't watch those shows anymore, so it's the pop culture's what it is.
It's not a surprising move in any way, shape, manner, or form.
Now, as far as the Clinton staging things, let's have a retrospective.
Okay, couple of questions here, folks.
By the way, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh executing a scientist duties flawlessly zero mistakes.
Show prep for the rest of the media to come.
Now, why is it even a news story that I or one of my callers think that Mrs. Clinton staged the shoe incident?
Why is that even a news story?
It makes politico.
Politico chronicles the comings and goings of Washington's political scene.
Why does what I think about that matter?
Why does it matter so much that USA Today picks it up and reprints it by the same token?
Look at the apparent importance.
Everybody is attaching to the choice of Stephen Colbert to replace Letterman.
Why is that so important to the left?
Hmm?
Why it it's it's so important because of the political ramifications.
Make no mistake about it.
Everything the left does is oriented around something political, usually their agenda.
Why does it matter that I have not fallen in line and am universally slapping everybody's back, saying, hey man, what a great hire.
Why is that so important?
Why does it matter?
Why is it a news story that somebody on my show or even I might think that Mrs. Clinton staged the shoe thing?
Why is it so important?
Well, I think the Colbert hire means.
And the right way to ask the question is, why is the media and everybody placing such importance on the Colbert hire?
And you know the answer.
It's because it represents a continuation of the dominance of the left of pop culture.
The actions speak for themselves.
The reaction they have to somebody who doesn't conform also speaks for itself.
Because in the big scheme of things, what I think about either of these things is irrelevant.
Isn't it?
No, don't forget about me supposedly being the voice of the opposition and all that.
And I know they need clicks on their website for ads, and my name gets clicks.
I understand all that, but in the in the genuine substance.
Look at the importance they place.
Look at the anger that such important generates when somebody doesn't conform.
Now, as far as the Clinton staging things, you know, I have this phrase that I employ a lot using intelligence guided by experience.
The Clintons are well known for staging things.
One of the very first things that Clinton staged, and there have been many.
I'll give you two highlights.
It was at one of the anniversaries of D-Day.
And it had camera atop the hillside at Omaha Beach at Normandy.
And the camera was was focused on a lone destroyer out near the horizon in the English Channel.
And as that camera zoomed out, you know what we saw?
We saw a lonely figure on the beach.
A lonely figure in deep solitude, wandering the beach, and that lone figure all of a sudden stopped and appeared to get choked up.
And then that lone figure kneeled down, and miraculously there were some stones there, right where he happened to stop.
There aren't any stones on Omaha Beach.
I have been there.
It is a beach.
There are no stones.
But there were just enough stones for this lonely figure to stop and arrange them in the shape of a cross.
And it just so happened that there was a camera close enough by to be able to focus in on the artwork of this lone figure.
This lone figure happened to be sleek Willie.
William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, who was wandering the beach at Omaha Beach at Normandy, and came across the stones and arranged them in the shape of a cross, thereby creating his own deeply personal moving memorial to the lost souls at D-Day.
What a guy.
Yeah, the media cameraman at the end of the day said, you know what?
Just a lucky shot.
We happen to be packing up and getting on the way out, and lo and behold, look what we found.
An entirely staged event by the Clintons and probably Carville.
I don't want to name it, I don't know who did it, but the Clintons are well known, but the second big one was, and this one was totally unbelievable.
This is right around, in fact, this was uh two, three weeks before, in retrospect, that we learned about Monica Lewinsky.
Oh, speaking of that, Michael Isakoff quit NBC News.
He was the Newsweek guy who had the Lewinsky story, but it didn't run in Newsweek.
They spiked it, and Drudge found out about it, and Drudge ran the story, not Isakoff.
Isakoff gets the credit, but he didn't do anything.
Well, he found out about it, but his story got spiked by Newsweek editors.
Drudge found out about anyone under the covers of whatever it was, and Drudge made it public.
Isikoff quit NBC News today claiming there's nothing for him to do there anymore.
Meaning they're not going to be investigating anything at NBC News.
Cheryl Atkison quits CBS.
Nothing for her to do there anymore.
They're not going to be doing any journalism anymore.
For the next two years, no journalism at NBC, no journalism at CBS.
We're waiting for somebody at ABC to quit.
That'd be Brian Ross.
I don't think he's going to quit until he can find somebody in the Tea Party linked to the guys out in uh in Nevada on this land management dispute.
But anyway.
Remember, three weeks before the Lewinsky story broke, there was a White House press daily press briefing, and Mike McCurry was the press secretary, and somebody stood up and asked him about a photo that was on the front page of the Los Angeles Times that day.
And a photo was nowhere else at this moment in time except the front page of the LA Times.
And McCurry, right on schedule and right on command, just erupted in faux outrage.
It was the most disgusting photo he'd ever seen.
He couldn't believe the media would stoop so low to do something like this.
This type of invasion of privacy is just beyond the pale, and it's not what we're about here, and we totally deplore this vile act.
Well, nobody knew what he was talking about, but they sure as hell wanted To know.
Because so what the picture was was a picture of Bill and Hillary in their swimsuits dancing on the beach somewhere in the Virgin Islands.
It was a still shot.
And they were embraced as though they were I don't know, recreating some typical Hollywood movie scene on the beach.
Some war movie scene typical.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right, from here to eternity.
Well, McCurry made sure that that picture was everywhere.
Because he was so outraged by it.
It turns out the whole thing was staged.
There wasn't even any music.
We learned later that the whole event was staged and time to come out prior to they knew the Lewinsky story was going to break at some point.
And they wanted that picture of them dancing on the beach to be able to be used in juxtaposition to the claim that he'd been having an affair with a 19-year-old intern.
So intelligence guided by experience.
Did the Clinton stage things?
Heck yes, they stage things.
Therefore, is it outrageous that somebody would call here and think maybe Hillary staged the shoe throwing in?
No, it isn't outrageous.
Intelligence guided by experience.
Nobody knows for sure, but it's not it's not ludicrous to think it might be because the Clintons are well known for doing the caller was speculating, and after years of political staging and planted questions, people are on alert for phonies.
Which is clearly what could be the uh the case here.
As far as Colbert, if it's clear, folks, it's very important.
We have to assume now that having the right guy on a late-night talk show is considered a high political priority.
And got to turn out the Ute vote.
That's one of the best ways that they can do it.
Get the right late night host.
And comedians are rapidly gaining stature, not just in pop culture, but within the political culture.
And it by virtue of the left's and media's over-the-top reaction to what I think about it is proof that it is a big deal to them, a very important thing.
Yeah, I get to the Bubba Watson thing in just a second.
I want to get some phone calls in here, folks, as we um head on down the road.
This is Chicago.
Kelly, I'm glad you called.
Great to have you on the Russian ball program.
Hi.
Thank you.
Hi, how are you?
I'm well.
Thank you very, very, very, very much.
I have to tell you, I've been thinking about you lately.
Um, I was just listening to the program, and you were talking about staging, and then I recently been watching the House of Cards series on TV, and I've just been dying to ask you if you watch it, because um there's all the staging and the politics there, which I think happens all the time, and you're talking about it today, and I was just wondering.
I do watch it.
I have watched.
I do watch, I've watched both seasons in a binge.
I watched season two over a weekend.
Uh, I'm almost when it came out on Netflix.
I was gonna tell you, my husband and I watch it.
Now, I'm a conservative, but he's a Democrat, so that makes for interesting viewing now.
Yeah.
And a lot of other things too, I'm sure.
Oh, yeah.
So um, now that he's watching this, I have to say that I think it's turning his head um to a different angle now when he actually watches the regular news now.
Does your husband then don't I can't ask this without there's sounding like a uh a strange tone in my voice, and I don't mean there to be any.
I'm just this is straight up.
Does your husband believe the news when he watches whatever CNN, whatever he watches, NBC, CBS, does he believe it?
Is that yes, until I think recently.
And it's House of Cards that is having him look at the news differently.
Interesting.
Yep, he watches it and he looks at me and he's like, You think this stuff really happens?
I'm like, all the time.
I'm sure you've been telling him over the years that you think stuff like this happens long before he saw House of Cards, but exactly he didn't believe you, but he does having seen House of Cards think, Aha.
Right.
Matter of fact, the other day when um Obama was on TV for his live um announcement for um busy in the rose garden for her reg what's that lady's name again for the resignation?
Uh yeah, that's Sibelius.
Sibelius, yeah.
And you know, there was this standing ovation, this long standing ovation when he came out with her, you know, and she's turning her resignation, and you would have thought, you know.
And I was like, I'm watching House of Cards.
Well, I could believe they'd be applauding her leaving.
She's been an albatross around their neck.
But this is a bunch of the doctors.
They just had a bunch of paid supporters in there to applaud what Obama.
You can't anything that happens this time.
It's no with Obama selling Obamagare gets a bunch of people that weren't even doctors, just wearing white lab coats.
Kelly.
Not all those people were doctors or technicians.
They were just made the White House made a call to a costume factory and had some white lab coats brought over so they could stage manage that event in the Rose Garden.
Everything the Clintons were the masters at this kind of thing.
Well, for the show, since he wasn't listening to me, at least now he's opened his eyes and thought he's second guessing everything now.
Which is Okay, well, let's cut to that.
Who do you think in real life Frank Underwood is?
I don't know.
Combination of people.
Well who do you think?
Actually, that was a question I wanted to ask you.
Who do you think Claire Underwood is?
You mean Hillary?
Well, that's what uh uh a lot of people speculate on Hillary.
Some think Michelle Obama, somebody who knows.
Um, but everybody tries to attach those characters to actual political persons and people.
I don't do that.
I just I just watch the show for its entertainment and I marvel at uh at how the writers do seem to understand how how things work.
But it's to me it's it's strictly it's strictly entertainment.
But if it's working in and opening your husband's eyes, then uh you know, all the um the better.
Jim in uh in Dixon, California, you're next on the EIV network.
Hello, sir.
Hey, thank you, Russ.
Um I hey, I just just want to let you know that I'm on to you, my friend.
Um you did a great job of staging that call yesterday.
And um it it was it was an amazing um an amazing few minutes uh where you uh you obviously you knew that call was coming, you you know, you struggled to to to hear the woman.
You did a great job um, you know, answering her questions.
You had you had answers just ready.
They were they were ready just right on each time.
And apparently you even had a transcript.
So uh, you know, you right wiggers, you guys, come on, you do the same thing, right?
You think you were ready for that.
You really are you being serious, or are you are you jamming me here?
Uh I'm jamming you.
Yeah, I knew you were jamming me because that's really good.
That was really good.
You had the staff going to some people on the other side of the glass are really getting mad at you.
Uh, I guess I should have kept playing.
Uh, you know what?
That you it's it's a great call.
It's illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
It's exactly what we do on the program.
Here you I normally tell people don't try this.
Uh leave it to the professionals like me, but you have shown you can do this at home.
That that was that I I'll do it for a living, Rush, and uh and uh have great respect for you.
Thank you.
Well, I I appreciate that.
I really do.
That's that was uh that was well done.
That's that's as I say, you had some people outside of glass shaking their heads.
Oh, come on, is this guy for real?
Uh way to stage the call, Rush.
That's that's another way.
Great way of illustrating, because we don't do that here.
Uh I mean I I've refused.
You wouldn't believe, folks.
Now you probably would.
