Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Is it testing, testing?
One, two, three.
Ah!
It's working fine.
Absolutely no alterations necessary.
No adjustments needed.
We don't need to change anything in the potentiometers.
Everything's just fine.
We are in Los Angeles.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are out here on the left coast today and tomorrow.
It's time for a tuneup on my new right side cochlear implant.
Have to do that frequently when they're new and get activated.
And the fact that frequent tune-ups are necessary is a good sign.
It means that progress is being made and the and the program needs to be adjusted to accommodate the new progress.
Basically, they're going to be able to pump a little more volume to it without everything sounding distorted.
I still have the chipmunk effect.
It's still amazing, folks.
I was writing to some some people last night, uh updating them on this.
And I'm I'm amazed that new implant by itself on the right side is unusable.
I mean, use it.
It's getting better.
Gotten better.
I mean, it's usable now, but there's still no comparison to way the left sounds by itself.
The volume is still very much lower.
It's fuzzier, and it's just everybody the chipmunk speed.
It just is incredible.
I put the left side on and magic happened.
And it's uh it's a testament to my brain.
It has to be.
I was trying to explain.
Oh, I'll tell you, you know what?
I forgot to send this up to Coco at the website.
I was perusing my tech blogs in a moment of idle hobby time.
And there was a story at one of the blogs.
Apparently, some audiologists have, they think, found a way to let people who can hear normally hear what a cochlear implant sounds like.
It's about a five-minute video, and they use a series of tones, uh computer generated, that sound as they do to you, and then the same tones as they sound to an average cochlear implant user.
I listen to it.
Of course, I'm hearing everything through a cochlear implant.
I hear the difference in the two, but I will not hear it the way uh uh people who can hear normally will hear it, but there's a distinct difference.
It's you know it's one of the things that's always amazed me about these.
The inventors, the audiologists, the the tech people that build these implants have never heard what they sound like.
They can all hear.
They have no idea like designing a TV set and never having seen what it looks like, and then being able to improve it every year.
And all you've got to go on is what it shows up on a meter or a graph or the the feedback you get from patients, which is gonna be all over the place.
I mean, you know, most people are not able to describe things anyway.
Uh and then you add everybody that has an implant, you're gonna have that many different attempts to explain how things sound.
Like when I tell these audiologists, people sound like chipmunks, I can tell they don't believe me.
They can't comprehend the chipmunks.
There's only one thing, it's not like a chipmunks, it's a chipmunks.
And you have to do special things to make the chipmunks sound like they do.
And I'm telling you, everybody sounds like a chipmunk to me.
You can see they just kind of nod their head like I'm a little insane, just maybe a two steps from the gentleman in the white coats and a little bus.
Uh but it's there's nothing they can do.
It's always amazed me uh that that they've been able to invent and design and perfect a product that they've never heard.
They have.
Well, they they they can appreciate it because they know it works.
They're able to communicate with people, but they have no idea what it sounds like.
And yet they invented it.
Anyway, the the link I found, and I've I've got it here.
I'll send it up to uh website because you might be interested in it.
Uh it was at uh one of the Gawker websites.
You gotta be careful, folks.
Don't go anyplace else other than this one link.
Otherwise, otherwise, you're gonna think very bad thoughts of me.
If you start wandering around this site.
This is the Gizmoto site.
The Gizmoto, you might recall they're the ones that ended up with the stolen iPhone 4 way back when Apple Tech left it in a bar.
Somebody found it in the bar, and the guys at Gizmoto bought it, and Jobs went on a crusade to get it back.
I think it was the four.
Yeah, it was the four, not the four S. And so that's who these guys are.
They're part of the uh the Gawker.
That's you've got to be real real.
I mean, I don't care.
It just I'd want you to know that that my search term was cochlear implants, how I found it.
I was not, Snurley, I wasn't.
I was not, I was not searching the deep dark corners of this place.
Anyway, um I'll find it.
There may be some other uh uh places that I think it might even be a YouTube link uh to this.
And it's got captions, by the way.
It it it spells out what's being said.
So I'll I'll send that up during the break, and you can check it out when you uh have time.
Anyway, we're here telephone number stays same, 800 282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I have to tell you, folks, since I'm on this stuff, I have to tell you I'm kind of excited here.
Something's happened for the first time in nine months that has never happened before, and I've been waiting for it to happen for nine months, and it finally has, and I'm so excited, I'm afraid it's gonna break.
Um I'm fascinated with the next destination feature that's part of the new iOS 7 Notification Center.
This is their attempt at Google now, where you collect enough data in the phone where you go, frequent locations, and after it learns enough of the data, it will think it knows where you're going next and tell you how long it'll take you to get there.
And if you click on that little message, it gives you a map of the fastest travel time.
And it just now, I mean, I've been coming out to LA since September when these new phones were released, been coming out to Los Angeles since September, four or five visits, nine months, and some of the data is just now starting to show up.
And I've always been amazing.
Why it can't possibly have been designed to require nine months of data collection to work.
But yet that's been the case.
Three weeks, it took three weeks of going back and forth home and office for those locations to show up.
All of a sudden today, my phones know where I'm going after the radio program.
But I haven't been that location in a long time.
So I don't know how it knows.
I'm hoping it's hooked into my calendar.
Uh like Google now has.
I don't think it has.
Anyway, I'm just I'm a little jazzed.
You know, this is a tiny little hobby of mine, this tech thing is is working for the first time as I think it was supposed to.
So I'm just uh No, I d I I hope it doesn't link it.
I'm not going to TMZ.
I know where.
No, the phone.
No, no, no, no.
No, no.
The location's not TMZ.
It's a doctor's office.
The phone knows I'm going to the doctor's office after the show.
It how I haven't been to the doctor's office out here in uh one last it was a month.
It hasn't been collecting data that fast.
What?
Oh.
Yeah, I know.
Um but but and well, they're talking about TMZ waiting outside restaurants on my friend strand me there.
Uh they they take an alternate exit.
I think they're right behind me, and they're not.
So I'm walking out and they're the TMZ cameras.
The phone's not gonna take me there.
I've already got that, I've already got that worked uh worked out.
So on the way out here yesterday, I was uh EIB 1, and I decided it's been so long since I've watched cable news.
I I go in cycles on it.
It's it's I don't mean to be critical.
I'm just sharing with you here my own personal consumption habits, and it's just it it all there's no reason to watch CNN.
It literally isn't.
Uh MSNBC, there hadn't been a reason to watch that and I don't know how long.
And any of it just after a while it gets formulaic.
But for some reason, uh Fox News was on and it was uh five o'clock, so the five was on, and I happened to see a picture of me.
The sound was not on, uh close captioning is on.
And after they played a clip of me on the Ditto cam, they didn't cut the Beckle.
Bob Beckle.
So I knew what this was.
Beckle was going to be upset that they're using another clip of me.
He's been having a cow on that show because all they do is play clips of me and then ask everybody to respond.
That is indeed what happened.
And the clip yesterday was my saying that this VA scandal is nothing more than a microcosm for all of us of what we're all headed for, i.e., single payer with Obamacare.
Little bitty snapshot here of where we're all headed, and I think it's it's only a natural conclusion.
I don't even see how that's arguable.
I mean, the the the VA is single payer.
It is what Obama and the Democrats want for Obamacare to ultimately be.
Obama has said so.
He told the SEIU and other union buddies way back in 2007 when he was toying with the idea of running for president.
He's talking about it, and he says it's not something we're going to be able to do overnight.
The public is never going to want it.
Which didn't matter.
They want it, so they're going to get it, whether the public wants it or not.
And so since the public didn't want it, Obama's telling his union guys that what they're going to have to do is slowly and surely discredit every other element of health care, from insurance companies to hospitals to doctors, and they're going to have to so frustrate the American people that they're going to demand simplification, just have the government do it all.
Like Medicare.
That's a rousing success.
Like the VA.
There's no question that's where this is headed.
I don't know how anybody can even argue with the idea that what happens in the VA right now, what is going on, is an early warning signal for all of us.
Wait times, death panels, however you want to characterize it, with Obamacare at large.
So that's why I said it.
Here's the actual clip that they used on the five yesterday, uh, and it was from Monday's program.
There is rampant incompetence here and inability to run the medical treatment of the veterans' affairs system.
We still got to find a way to convince people that this Obamacare can't work, and that everybody's headed for similar potential as these deaths in the VA.
Here is a microcosm of what Obamacare is going to be if it's fully implemented.
Well, that just ticked Mr. Beckle off.
He was mad A that they played another clip of me for the group to respond to.
Then he got mad at what I had said.
And he said, you know what?
We haven't heard Russell three hours in this network.
So here is Beckle, and this one I started watching on the on the on the way out here yesterday.
When he talks about block, that is inside broadcast lingo, he means the segment.
Fox, every segment they call the A block is the first segment.
The B block is the second segment, the C block, and so forth until you finish the program.
And there are probably, I don't know, five, six blocks, maybe eight in a one-hour program.
So that's what I'm just cluing you in.
So you can get distracted to figure out what he's talking about.
You hear the word blocky just means the segment that they're in at the moment.
Here's the reaction.
You know what the craft of this block is that somehow you're equating Obamacare with the VA.
The VA is owned and operated by the federal government.
It is government-operated health care.
Obamacare has nothing to do, not a single hospital will be owned by the government, not a single doctor gives you a nice little thing to talk about here in this block.
And by the way, it's nice to see Russell Lindbaugh again.
We haven't seen him on this air for about what, three hours?
Yeah, see, so he says, I just want to play, because this is so funny when these guys get mad.
Of course, that's you know, that's why I said most talked about radio talk show in the country, most talked about host uh in uh in the country.
And I think one of the reasons, can we be honest here?
One of the reasons they use me is where else you're going to hear this stuff.
I mean, there are other places you're hearing, but but uh everybody else is uttering the same formulaic stuff.
Everybody is afraid.
Not everybody.
A lot of people are afraid to actually say what they really think about this.
So his point here, the VA is owned and operated with the Federal Government's government-operated health care.
Obama has nothing to do, not a single hospital will be owned by the government, not a single doctor.
Uh, Bob the doctors that remain in Obamacare are going to be owned and operated by, and they're going to be totally subservient to whatever the law and the requirements are.
Uh the point is the Federal Government is going to be responsible.
They're going to be the deciding factor in who gets treatment and what kind.
The VA scandal really comes down to rationing.
And that is inevitable in any single payer system.
Rationing is inevitable whenever you have a command and control central authority that determines how much is going to be spent where.
In the private sector where the government has little say about what's spent, except in Medicare and Medicaid, but just a normal everyday health care transactions between the patient and doctor, that's that's uh self-contained transaction and procedure, and the price is dictated by a number of things.
But doctors I mean, you can say they ration by have waiting lines or lists in the in the office on a particular day, maybe slow, but what we know here is that the VA scandal is about rationing, and rationing is going to be part of Obamacare.
Any system where you are underpaying the doctors, you're going to have to ration health care.
Rationing is just a nice term for death panels.
Some bureaucrat somewhere is going to decide who gets treated and who won't be, and that same bureaucrat is going to decide how much money is spent on whoever is judged worthy of being treated.
Obamacare mandates services.
Obamacare mandates fees.
How is that so different from being operated by the government?
You mandate services, you mandate fees.
Mandate is pretty final.
And if the government's doing the mandating, how can you say they're not operating it?
Remember, uh, we're going to replay the soundbite of Obama telling a woman, nah, your mother, nah, she's too old to get a pacemaker.
No, no, we'll just give her a paint pill and have her enjoy the rest of her days.
I mean, what do you think that is?
And what do you think he's assuming his power is going to be once Obamacare is in McCain?
You imagine a citizen of this country having to ask the president whether her mother is going to get a medical treatment of some kind.
Let's go back to June 24, 2009, prime time, ABC.
Member of the audience, Jane Sturm says uh to Obama, my mother is over 105.
But at 100, the doctor said to her, I can't do anything more unless you have a pacemaker.
I said, go for it.
And she said, go for it.
Specialist said no, she's too old.
When the other specialists saw her, her joy of life or will to live, he said, I'm gonna go for it.
That was over five years ago.
My question to you, Mr. President, outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who's elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a joy of living, a quality of life, will to live, or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?
Is a mother, a woman asking if the federal government will consider somebody's will to live and happiness at age 100 in giving them a pacemaker and listen to this answer.
I don't think that we can make judgments based on people's spirit.
That'd be a pretty subjective decision to be making.
I think we have to have rules that say that we are gonna provide good quality care for all people.
End of life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we're gonna have to make.
But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another.
If they're not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they're being made by private insurers.
At least we can let doctors know and your mom know that you know what?
Maybe this isn't gonna help.
Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.
Now you want to tell me this isn't rationing?
You want to tell me this isn't the federal government determining who gets medical treatment and who doesn't?
And how is that different from the VA?
Here's a woman.
Again, this folks was back in 2009.
This is five years ago.
And already citizens were conditioned to think they had to ask the president or the government if a family member is going to get medical care.
That what is that if not rationing?
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have okay.
Coco just uh just informed me that the cochlear implant video is now posted at Rush Limbaugh.com.
And what it is, it's it's five minutes of an attempt by a professional audiologist, scientist, Dr. Oil.
Oh, guy wears a white coat.
Uh to tell people who do not have cochlear implants what they sound like, what what things sound like to people who use them?
I listened to it, and again, I I'm hearing the whole thing through my implants, so I really can't tell you how how accurate it is.
That's the thing.
I mean, I'm I'm still hearing it all through the implant.
But I I did notice a difference in what they claim is normal speech and the speech that they have recreated processed through cochlear implant.
So uh I wanted to let you know that that is up there.
I guess this hashtag didn't work.
Bring back our girls.
Because United States has deployed 80 military personnel at Chad to help locate the nearly 300 girls kidnapped in Nigeria last month.
Obama announced this yesterday in a letter to John Boehner and the Senate, notified lawmakers about the latest steps underway to assist in the return of the kidnapped girls.
The president said that the service members will help with intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria and the nearby region.
He says the force will stay in Chad until its support is no longer necessary.
What does that mean?
Chad, by the way, shares a portion of its western border with northeastern Nigeria, lest you think Obama sent them to the wrong place.
Now, according to Lieutenant Colonel Miles Caggins, the 80 U.S. military personnel will help expand drone searches of the region.
About 40 of the troops make up the launch and recovering teams for the drone that's being deployed there.
The other 40 troops make up the security force for the team.
Cagin said this latest deployment will not involve ground searches by the troops.
So it's 80 troops to service drone missions.
And they're and they're saying they don't have at least they're saying they don't have a lot of hope.
Uh this is, they say, trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack because of the heavy foliage, the lack of any idea where the kidnapped girls are, and then once you think you found a group of people, how do you know that in the group is eighty kidnapped girls from Nigeria?
But still doing it.
So I don't know.
Did this happening because the hashtag did the hashtag deploy the troops, or did the hashtag not work?
It's one of the great mysteries of life, such as is the sky really blue, or is it just the way our eyes process the data and tell us it's blue?
How will we ever really know if the sky is blue or not?
I mean, it looks like it's blue except when there's overcast when it looks gray.
But when it is an overcast, the sky's blue.
How do we know it's really blue?
I mean, it looks blue to us, but is this because the way our eyes are processing all of the data?
Or is the sky actually blue?
Is it blue because the oceans are blue?
Or is the ocean blue because the sky's blue and the oceans are reflecting what we see in the sky?
We'll never know.
Just like we'll never know whether the hashtag worked or not.
It's going to be one of these never-ending mysteries of life.
Pat Sajak, who uh is he still hosting Wheel of Fortune today?
Is he?
He uh as opposed to yesterday.
I know he was yesterday.
He's still Pat Sajac's in a tweet yesterday.
Uh said to be controversial tweet, since sometimes it's fun to poke a stick in a hornet's nest just to hear the buzzing.
His tweet was, I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists, knowingly misleading for their own ends.
Good night.
By Wednesday morning, it had been retweeted more than 2,000 times and favored more than 1,300 times.
Response to the tweet has been wide-ranging.
A bunch of global warming uh hoaxers are responding.
It's amazing.
Some guys it's it you upset the perfectly constructed cocoon of the liberal worldview.
If you do anything that punctures that cocoon, you are going to become after.
You're gonna be targeted, and they're not gonna let go until you either apologize, go to re-education camp, sensitivity training, or kill yourself.
They just can't you're not allowed to have any opinions in America.
You're not allowed to, especially if it's uh an opinion contrary to the supposed mainstream of pop culture.
Pope Francis.
You know, this guy's got the liberals tied in knots.
One day they love him, the next day they hate him, then the next day he's getting them back, the next day he pushes them away, and he keeps dragging them back in when they don't want to have anything to do with the church.
He keep dragging them back in.
He gets them back into the church, and then he kicks them back out again.
Although Pope Francis was praised for his who am I to judge comment about gay individuals, and was named person of the year by the homosexual magazine The Advocate in 2013, the Pope has rejected the idea of same-sex marriage as an anthropological regression and stressed that when it comes to adoption, every person needs a male father and a female mother.
For those of you on Rio Linda, anthropological is mankind.
Man, the anthropological global warming means man-made, man-related, man-caused, what have you.
So when the Pope says that the idea of same-sex marriage is an anthropological regression, what he's saying is that humanity is backtracking.
Humanity is uh uh losing ground.
Humanity is descending to the depths.
And stressed that when it comes to adoption, every person needs a male father and female mother.
The Pope explained his views on these hot button issues in his book on Heaven and Earth, Pope Francis on Faith, Family and the Church in the 21st Century, which he co-wrote with Rabbi Abraham Scorka in 2010.
Whoa.
This is what I mean.
The Pope.
Yeah, Pope Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Vergodio.
That's what I mean.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
They love him sometimes.
I mean, they embrace him.
He's got them in, he's he's got them in pretzels here.
They love him one day, they hate him the next, and he draws them back in and they kick him back out, and he kicks them back in and they love him and they hate him, and they don't know what to do.
Uh well, no, I haven't seen a reaction um to this yet.
I I just I just remember when the Pope was loved by the left because they assumed that he was with them on socialist economics.
Now, of course he's a hater.
And I th they keep they keep toying with the idea.
Maybe this Pope is actually going to reform the church.
Maybe the Pope is going to allow gay marriage.
Maybe the Pope is going to allow priests to have sex.
Maybe the Pope is going to allow abortion.
And he keeps sucking them in, and then he keeps slapping them in the face after he gets them in.
And uh, well, no, he never run Mozilla, and it's a darn good thing that the Vatican doesn't own a team in the NBA.
We're back, Rush Limbaugh in Southern California today and tomorrow.
Happy to be with you.
Where are we headed?
Let's see.
I guess line one.
Ralph in Omaha.
Welcome to the program.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush.
It's a real honor to be speaking with you.
I'm calling because I find Obama's outrage over medical care for the veterans is more than a bit uh disingenuous.
He I I recall when he first was elected to office that it was his thinking that since the uh military were all volunteers anyway, that they should be buying their own medical insurance.
And if this was his thinking then, I don't see it being changed now.
So you don't you don't believe the president when he said yesterday was livid and outraged when he found out about all these delays and deaths at the VA was going to get to the bottom of it.
Not the least.
And I don't I don't recall him saying when he was first elected to office that since military or volunteers that they should be buying their own medical insurance.
I don't remember him saying that.
Uh I'm not disputing you.
I'm just saying I don't remember it.
Right.
Uh uh it was either on your program or on Fox that uh that I I heard this, I can still see him saying it.
Um I seem to be the only one who can recall this, but I know it's let me let me dig deep that because we got some updated uh news on some of this stuff.
Uh Ralph, I appreciate the call.
Uh I know he wanted to get rid of tri-care, but just blatantly saying, hey, you military people, since you're volunteering anyway, get your own health insurance.
Um you heard it here.
Well, we'll search the archives and we'll see if it actually happened.
In the meantime.
About that press conference yesterday, the president came out, he was mad.
He just found out about it.
He j despite talking about this during the campaign and blaming the VA's problems on Bush, by the way, in the campaign.
Uh, that he didn't know anything about it yesterday until he talked to Shinsecki.
And by the way, yesterday was the first time in months that he had ever talked to Shinsecke.
Okay, so he goes out and he says that he was really, really mad and he's not gonna tolerate this.
And Major Garrett this morning on CBS News is all excited because they've got a new poll.
A new poll that since Obama went out there and said how many, Obama is not being blamed for the scandal, and they're all excited about it.
Charlie Rose said to Major Garrett, dozens of patients may have died waiting for a doctor's visit.
The president vows to fix problems of the VA medical care yesterday.
Is the president confident the veteran affairs secretary is up to the job?
For now, President Obama is not being blamed for the persistent problems some veterans have encountered trying to obtain health care or for the fact that some veterans either died or became gravely ill waiting for that health care through the VA system.
The blame, according to a new CBS news poll, falls squarely on Veterans Administration, Secretary Eric Shinseki, and local VA hospital facilities.
So excited the president's not being blamed, just like he doesn't get blamed for anything.
Now why not?
The limbaugh theorem.
He didn't know.
It's all everybody else.
It just seems to work.
However, there's just one caveat here.
Just a small little catch.
The CBS survey was a survey of veterans, not the voting public at large.
Our survey of veterans, not the general public, but veterans found that 36% hold Shinseckey responsible.
29% blame those local hospitals within the VA health care system.
Less than a fifth blame the president.
Why would they blame the president?
He got nothing to do with it.
See, he's trying to fix it.
He cares.
This may frustrate you.
And by the way, this dovetails with another thing right here at the top of the stack of stuff, and that is the Democrats have done all the focus grouping and polling data.
And they have come up with only one thing they think can help them.
Win in the midterms or stave off a disaster.
And it is very simply Republicans don't care about you.
Democrats care.
Democrats care about people like you.
Republicans don't.
Remember that focus group question in the 2012 exit polling data.
Obama won that question 81 to 19 over Romney.
Cares about people like you was the question.
And apparently that still know that it it is that great of uh percentage for the Democrats now, but they still have a majority.
Uh and the story, Democrats seek issues to lure midterm votes after races election so far.
Boy, the GOP in the story it's all about how the thing the Democrats can hang their hat on is that people still think that Democrats care more about people like them than Republicans do.
And they're going to go to town with it.
you might say that this all of the VA of veterans here, Obama doesn't get the blame.
He cares.
He's working hard to fix it.
He doesn't He wants to fix this.
He doesn't want this to be happening.
He can't help it if people he put in their incompetent boobs like Shinseki.
So let's let's go back.
Let's review our montage because this is the Obama strategy, and like it or not, it's worked so far.
With the low information crowd, a scandal, a bad scandal, and the way Obama handles it is to act like he didn't know a thing about it.
He just found out about it, and he's livid.
This is our montage from yesterday.
This covers issues from 2009 up to yesterday.
It's inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it.
Nobody's madder than me about the fact that the website isn't working.
It's very upsetting to me that somebody showed such bad judgment that they would allow something like that to happen.
If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I'll be angry.
I've got no patience with it.
I will not tolerate it, and we will make sure that uh we find out exactly what happened.
I am furious at this entire situation.
I would love to just spend a lot of my time venting and yelling at people.
We're gonna hold the responsible parties accountable.
The minute I found out about it, then my main focus is making sure that we get the thing fixed.
I think people are right to be angry.
I'm angry.
I will not stand for it.
Not as commander-in-chief, none of us should.
It is dishonorable, it is disgraceful, and I will not tolerate it, period.
Well, according to the CBS poll, it worked.
Veterans don't blame him.
They blame Shinseki, they blame other people, other forces.
Those statements, none of them are repeated.
They were about the IRS targeting the Tea Party, the Obamacare rollout, the website not working, the fast and furious scandal, Secret Service scandal, drunkenness on the job down in uh in Rio, another revelation, the IRS targeting Tea Party scandal he was upset about, the the Gulf oil spill, BP, uh IRS targeting two more of those, bonuses on Wall Street and the VA scandal.
Every one of those issues came out.
