Time Text
These people are such phonies.
They're just such phony, and they get away with it because they are perceived to have really good intentions.
They just care so much about people.
Greetings and welcome back.
Ill Rushbow.
Feeling stressed and pressured.
Trying to get everything I've got in here.
I still got boku things to do.
I like to spend time on each thing, though, making sure when I finish that I have been as explanatory, informative, educational as I can be.
Make the complex understandable.
We're just loaded today.
Let me just get right to it.
Back to this idea.
Second on the Clintons and their wealth.
And Mrs. Clinton saying first that they were dead broke when they got to the White House.
Then that didn't fly.
She had to walk that back.
Now she stepped back in it again.
This is a woman.
You put a bucket of excrement in front of her.
She's going to step in it.
It's the most amazing thing, and yet she's the smartest woman in the world.
Why we can barely stand the aura if we're in her presence.
Blinded by the light of her brilliance.
And you put a bag of excrement in front of her, and she's guaranteed to step in it.
And she stepped in it again by saying, well, we're not wealthy.
We pay ordinary income taxes.
Since I've already explained that, I'm going to waste time on that.
And then they had this New York Daily news story.
Chelsea Clinton tried to care about money but couldn't.
What this story is about is that Chelsea is so selfless.
She so cares about others.
She doesn't care about money.
They tried to.
They really, they really uh tried to make her care about money and its importance.
Earning it and all that, but she didn't care.
She just wants to help people.
Right.
Okay, so this little story here from uh remember I went and looked it up and got it.
It's it's a month or so ago.
Maybe a little longer.
So much for any doubt that Chelsea Clinton and her husband of three years, Mark Ms Vinsky, are not in it for the long haul.
The daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton and her financier husband have signed a contract for a marvelous four-bedroom, six and a half bathroom apartment in the Flatiron District of Manhattan.
Five thousand square foot condo in a building on East 26th Street built in 1924.
Listed for 10 and a half million dollars.
They couldn't get Chelsea interested in money, you see.
She doesn't care about money.
She wants to do other things with other people.
There's so much suffering in the world.
If if she could, she would donate every kidney, and she would donate her liver and her pantgrassy would donate her brain if she could and still live.
She just wanted to help people.
She would donate her brain if she could, but she can't, sadly.
She just doesn't care about moved into a ten and a half million dollar pad in the flat iron district with her financier husband.
The care about money.
But see, they get away with it because of the good intentions.
Back to the Ed Klein.
Who is gonna rip?
Oh, of course.
Oh, of course they're gonna rip me, but it's not because Chelsea's pregnant.
They're gonna rip me simply because I dare not swallow this for public consumption PR campaign.
That's why they're gonna rip me.
I don't care.
I really don't care.
I I ran into something over the weekend, a fascinating website, and I I I think it's for young people, actually.
Uh I'll get the name of it.
I can't think of it on the top of my head.
But uh, it was sent to me by a uh a friend saying, you know, you can relate to this.
It was a it was uh an explanation for kids why.
About the prison you put yourself in when all you do is worry about what other people think of you.
And it was really right on.
And I I bookmarked it, in fact.
And they whoever does this was two guys.
And they whoever they are, they have a bunch of topics like that for I'll get the name of it here in just a second.
It just I wasn't even going to mention it.
It just crossed my mind here.
Because it's right, it is the biggest prison in the world, being concerned of whether it's it's it the it's the reason most people do everything they do.
What other people will think.
It actually is.
Oh, I'm not in that prison, obviously.
So you can tell me all day that they're gonna rip me, and especially because Chelsea's pregnant.
Well, it doesn't surprise me.
She's pregnant.
Money doesn't matter.
Not a big deal.
She only wants to help people.
And the Clintons aren't really rich because they pay ordinary income tax at $100 million net worth.
That's not they're not well off.
They pay ordinary income tax.
But boy, they care so much about people.
They really care about the Haitians.
Oh.
Wow.
It's so cool.
Anyway, back to this Ed Klein chapter on the uh Hildebeast blood feud here.
On March 1st, 2013, the very day that the $85 billion in budget cuts known as the sequester went into effect.
The Clintons slipped unnoticed into the White House, sat down for dinner with the Obamas and the residents.
Now, typically, once Obama decided to do something like the surge in Afghanistan, he immediately had second thoughts.
And his behavior during dinner degenerated from moody to grumpy to bad-tempered.
After the obligatory greetings and small talk about family, Obama asked Bill what he thought about the sequester.
Would it turn out to be a political plus for him?
Bill went into a long and boring lecture about the sequester.
So to change the subject, Hillary asked Michelle if it was true, as she had heard that the first lady was thinking about running for the Senate from Illinois, because Obama had told Clinton that on the golf course.
And Obama had also told Clinton that that uh Michelle was thinking about running for president.
When Bill was talking to Obama about maybe Hillary running in 2016, supposedly Obama said, Well, yeah, you know.
Uh Michelle thing about doing that too.
Which supposedly made Clinton livid on the golf course.
And if he didn't have a larger purpose, he would have walked off the course right then, it says here.
So to change the subject from the sequester, Hillary asked Moochell if it was true that the first lady was thinking about running from the Senate, uh, for the Senate from Illinois.
Michelle said that she was warming to the idea, though she had yet to make up her mind.
Bill shot Hillary a look of incredulity like, but you wouldn't bring that up for.
So Bill then moved the conversation to Obama's vaunted 2012 campaign organization.
He told Obama it'd be a good idea to fold that organization along with all its digital and social media bells and whistles into the Democrat National Committee.
Obama's only response was a disparaging smile.
Hey, look, Barack, you have to use your organization to aid the candidate.
2016.
I mean, that's just what you do.
That's just in the formula.
You just have to do that.
Oh, really, Obama replied with undisguised sarcasm, which made Bill even madder.
The two men went back and forth over the subject of where the money for Obama's campaign organization had come from and how to allocate funds for the 2016 election, because it's going to be Hillary in Bill's mind.
And Bill raised his voice, and so did Obama.
As Clinton went on and on and on about how good he is at managing things, Obama began playing with his blackberry under the table, making it plain that he wasn't paying attention to anything Clinton had to say.
He was intentionally snubbing Clinton.
Others around the table noticed Obama thumbing his blackberry, and the atmosphere turned even colder.
So Hillary changed subject again.
She asked of Obama, are you glad you aren't going to have to campaign again?
You don't seem to enjoy it.
Obama said, Well, you know, for a guy who doesn't like it, I think I've done pretty well.
Can you believe this kind of thing happening between these two couples at dinner?
You can you.
This I guess, if you if it's if it's too full-fledged narcissists, this just why do it.
If you don't want to do it, and it's going to be one of these constant sparring, why do it?
Anyway.
Well, Bill said, I was glad to pitch in and help you get re-elected.
And there was another long pause while Obama is steaming over Clinton's assertion he couldn't have done it without him.
Finally, Obama turned to Bill and said, Thanks.
After the dinner, and once the Clintons had left, Obama shook his head and said, That's why I never invite that guy over.
Now come on!
That's why I never invite that guy over.
Lately, Bill Clinton's become convinced that Obama won't endorse Hillary in 2016.
During a gathering at Wifehaven, guests overheard Bill talking to his daughter Chelsea, who doesn't care about money about whether the president would back Joe Biden.
Clinton said, you know, I've been hearing a lot of things lately.
Uh different scenario of state committeemen, they say, they say he's looking for a candidate just like him.
Somebody relatively unknown, somebody with fresh face.
It looks like Obama has convinced himself that he's been brilliant president and he wants to clone himself.
So I'd like to find his many me.
Looking for somebody succeed him, he believes.
The American people don't want to vote for somebody who's been around for a long time.
He thinks your mother and I are what he calls it 20th century, he's looking for another Barack Obama.
And that's how the chapter ends.
That's what Bill told Chelsea.
And then there's the chapter on Hillary's health.
And if this is true, if this is true, this is devastating.
Hillary has a bad heart.
Doctors diagnosed Hillary with several problems is after she fell and hit her head and all that horrible stuff happened, was out for six months.
She had a right transverse venous thrombosis, which is a blood clot between her brain and her skull.
And to make matters worse, it turned out that Hillary had an intrinsic tendency to form clots and to faint.
In addition to the fainting spell she suffered in Buffalo a few years ago, she'd fainted boarding her plane in Yemen.
She'd fallen and fractured her elbow in 2009.
She suffered other unspecified fainting episodes.
Several years earlier, she had developed a clot in her leg and was put on anti-coagulant therapy by her doctor.
However, she had foolishly stopped taking her anticoagulant medicine like all smartest women in the world do.
And that might have explained the most recent thrombotic event or clot.
And it uh makes the point that Hillary has flown so many miles as Secretary of State that that's another reason why she's got thrombotic tendencies.
Because flying up there so long promotes uh lack of blood flow and clots and this kind of stuff.
Hillary's tendency to form clots was the least of her problems.
She also suffered from a thyroid condition, which was common among women of her age, even smartest women of her age, and her fainting spells indicated there was an underlying heart problem as well.
So a cardiac stress test was done, indicated that her heart rhythm and her heart valves were not normal.
Put into layman's language, her heart valves were not pumping in a steady way.
When the author, Ed Klein attempted to contact the Clinton's cardiologist, he refused to comment, which makes sense, which made it impossible to determine the exact nature of Hillary's medical status or its long-term significance.
However, sources who discussed Hillary's medical condition with her were told that Hillary's doctors considered performing valve replacement surgery.
They ultimately decided against it.
Still, before they released Hillary from the hospital, they warned Bill Clinton, quote, she has to be carefully monitored for the rest of her life.
To which Bill said, Well, fine, I wonder who we can hire to do that, because that is not what I signed up for.
No, we don't know if he said that.
He probably didn't.
I'm sure he'll be there round the clock bedside, whatever it takes.
Bill Clinton.
So there you have it.
That's the Clinton installment.
That's it.
Folks, that's a total, and there's gonna be more every day.
Her book has fallen out of the top ten on Amazon, by the way.
I think it may be of number sixteen.
It's not good out there.
And do you think, do you believe in the concept of free will?
You don't?
Limited free will.
That's fascinating.
Define how you don't believe in free will.
Okay.
You have no choice over where you're born and the circumstances therein, and as such, they go a long way determining your destiny.
You have some free will, but okay, well, tell me where you don't.
Okay, you're born in a certain place and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But you don't have free will.
Uh are you exercising free will working on this program?
You are.
Um, well, give me an example where you don't think you have free will.
Okay, I'm not trying to put you on the spot.
There's a reason I'm asking, and I want all of you to think about.
Now, I'm not talking about the religious sense.
Uh free will is uh crucial in certain religious beliefs.
I'm just talking about as a human being going through your life.
Do you think you have free will?
Or is your brain actually programmed in ways you do not understand, and it is those mysterious, under misunderstood, not understood things that actually explain why you do what you do.
And then if the whole concept of free will is bogus, then what else is?
Stop and think about it now.
If there's no free will, there can be no freedom or liberty, right?
I'm holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained finger.
Story from the UK Independent.
Scientist, University of California Davis found that the concept of free will is actually little more than the result of background noise in the brain.
There is no free will.
If there's no free will, then there's no freedom and there's no liberty.
And it just makes everything easier for tyrants, doesn't it?
Back after this.
Victoria in uh in Swanee, Georgia.
Nineteen years old.
Great to have you with us on the program.
Hi, Victoria.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.
How are you?
Good.
Good, good.
Thank you for calling.
Yeah, no problem.
Um I heard you talking about the Clinton.
Um, and especially healthy Clinton, saying that she wasn't worried about money.
Uh-huh.
And I think that's kind of amusing because uh I'm a college student majoring in music performance and early childhood education.
Yeah.
And uh I I would feel free to say that I'm actually someone that doesn't care about money.
I mean, she's had everything given to her by her very wealthy parents her whole life.
I guess it's easy to say that you're not worried about money when you have plenty of it, well, let me be clear.
The story is not, it's not about anything Chelsea said.
It is that Clinton's mother and father speaking about her.
Oh, we tried to make Chelsea care about money, but she just doesn't.
Um, actually, let's see.
No, Chelsea is quoted here.
I was curious if I could care about money on some fundamental level, and I couldn't, she called told the UK.
And so your point is well taken.
She's never had to worry about it.
No, and I don't think uh most politicians um in Washington are um uh understand at all uh how to worry about money.
Because in order to even get elected, you have to have millions and millions of dollars at your disposal.
And I don't think they're in touch with reality, the reality of the American people they're supposed to be representing.
They don't understand money problems, and that's probably why nothing gets done in Washington because they don't understand the effect it has on their constituents.
I think it's an excellent point.
I think a lot of them talk about it as though they do.
Some get it.
I mean, not not everybody in Congress is wealthy, but no, not everybody, but the majority, the vast majority, the people that are hopefully something else.
You know, you talk about their campaign, how much it costs to get elected.
Here's something that that not everybody, not a lot of people don't know this.
When they retire, every unspent campaign dollar is convertible to personal use.
Yes.
Or it used to be it used to be.
I don't know if that's still the law.
Um there there were some limits on it, but if you know you've got millions of dollars potentially at your disposal, it does change your perspective.
And you lose relatability with with people living paycheck to paycheck real fast.
Now, your point is is really well taken.
I think that's one of the biggest problems in that town is that it's its whole universe now.
So don't tell me you don't have them.
I knew you had them.
How can the smartest woman in the world say such dumb things consistently?
Hillary Clinton and this business of uh of oh, we're not rich.
No, we're not well off.
No, no, no, we just pay ordinary income tax.
We can't possibly be wealthy.
What do you think?
We were dead bro.
How can the smartest woman in the world screw up like that?
Anyway, uh we have audio in from the working women's summit at the White House.
And I want to play for you two sound bites.
Oh sorry, it was not at the White House.
The working uh families summit was at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
So the working families don't rate the East Room.
Schlubs, here's Obama.
Anything that makes life harder for women makes life harder for families.
And makes life harder for children.
Oh when women succeed, America succeeds.
So there's no such thing as a women's issue.
There's no such thing as a women's issue.
There's a family issue.
And an American issue.
These are common sense issues.
You know what amazes me?
This guy has been president for almost six years, and all he's done is stand up every day and complain about another American problem.
He's president, and yet he acts like he's campaigning every day, which is the key to the limbaugh theorem, I know.
But at some point, don't you do something about it?
Six years, and every day he stands up complaining about something that's wrong in this country.
Anything that makes life harder for women makes life harder for families.
And makes life harder for children.
And of course the room went nuts.
When women succeed, America succeeds.
I guess it would be very controversial.
If I were to say anything that makes life harder for men makes life harder for families.
All right, I'll try it.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me just tell you anything that makes life harder for men is gonna make life harder for families.
And if you make life harder for men, let me tell you what else you're doing.
You're making life harder for children.
And I'll tell you something else, it's always been the case.
When men succeed, America succeeds.
There's no such thing as a men's issue.
And there's no such thing as a women's issue.
And there aren't any things as family issues and American issues.
Because all of this is Democrat clap trap.
Okay, how does that fly, do you think?
I think it resonates well with this audience.
It resonated with me.
Okay, here's the next Obama.
As long as Congress refuses to act on these policies.
Stop the taking it.
I should.
I should have told you this fulfills my prediction from early in the program about what this summit is all about.
It is about continuing this notion of a Republican war on women.
That's all this is.
As I look at folks, if every day, take it back to the beginning, Mike.
Every day the guy stands up and complains about something.
Now I can understand somebody powerless doing it.
Here we have the most powerful man in the world standing up and complaining about things.
If all the most powerful man in the world can do is complain about things, then what the hell else can any of us do?
And that's all he does.
And he complains purposefully so as to form a bond of relatability with the stupid.
With the low information voters.
He just needs to, hey, you know what?
Obama just like us, he's just like us.
He knows it's bad for he's the guy that's supposed to fix these or have ideas about how to fix these things, but he never does.
All he does is stand up and complain about it.
As long as Congress refuses to act on these policies, we're gonna need you to raise your voices.
We need you, we need you to tell Congress don't talk about how you support families.
Actually support families.
Don't talk the talk.
We want you to walk the walk.
In the meantime, if Congress will not act, we're gonna need mayors to act.
We'll need governors and state legislators to act.
We need CEOs tax.
And I promise you you will have a president who will take action to support working families.
He's six years in.
What is this?
I promise you you'll have a president who will take action to support working families.
Six years in.
And by the way, Mr. President, the mayors and governors a little bit preoccupied to be worried about this from Reuters.
U.S. mayors on Sunday called for Congress to draw up bipartisan legislation to address a surge of illegal immigrants into the United States and asked for help to ease the resulting financial burden on local governments.
They don't really have time for these trumped-up family issues that are none of Congress's business anyway.
Pardon me for yelling.
U.S. Conference of Mayors said at their annual meeting in Dallas, they are asking Congressional Democrats and Republicans for legislation to increase border security and support city and state governments whose finances are being strained by costs associated to illegal immigration.
They don't have time for Obama's pet political issue of the day.
There are real life catastrophes besetting all of the states out there, particularly on the southern border.
Anaheim Mayor Tom Tate, a Republican, co-chair of the immigration reform task force, said forget the D thing.
Forget the R thing.
It's an American issue.
Yeah, and so is women's issues.
And so is family issues.
It's all American issues.
We got problems everywhere, and all anybody's doing is identifying them.
Nobody's addressing anything.
What more the hell can we do to support families?
We've got a hundred million Americans not working.
We got 11 million Americans on disability.
What the hell is it that we're not doing enough to support people?
We are supporting way more people than we should be.
There are tons of people not carrying their weight in this country.
And I know what the reaction is going to be.
Oh, easy for you to say, this just proves you have no compassion.
No, it's just the exact opposite.
We are wasting the talents and the abilities of tens of millions of people in this country.
All the while, this president runs around and talks about how greedy and selfish the people of this country are, because we're not supporting this, we're not supporting women's issues or families' issues, we're supporting people in droves.
How many people currently on some kind of government support?
How many people on disability?
How many people on Medicaid?
How many people on AFDC?
How many people not working on unemployment compensation into their fourth year of it?
And still we have to listen to this guy tell us how we don't have any compassion and we're greedy and we're selfish.
And of course, the PA statistics thoughts is that all of these people are in such dire straits because of this guy's policies.
And what does he do?
Another new day, another complaint.
Six years in, and all he does is stand up and complain about things to build a phony bond of relatability to people, to falsely convince them he cares about them by understanding their plight.
Well, understanding their plight is where it stops.
That's all they're gonna get.
Well, I take that back.
They're getting all kinds of government support.
The illegal immigrants crossing the border are getting all kinds of government support.
And isn't it interesting?
The people are still self-sufficient, the people still working, still providing for themselves, they somehow are the problem.
With their attitudes of greed and selfishness and intolerance and all this other dribble.
Gotta take a break, folks.
Be back after this.
So we got a working family summit.
Let me ask you a question.
Who has done more damage to working families than this administration?
This administration has destroyed jobs, that doesn't help families.
They raise taxes, it doesn't help families.
They've created inflation that he pretends doesn't exist that doesn't help families.
He has saddled all of us with millions of more dependents in illegal immigrants, people not working, billions more debt, we've got Obamacare.
What in the name of Sam Hill has he done for families, other than stand up and tell them he knows they've got problems.
Largely of his own creation.
And Obama stands up and he goes around the world, by the way, does the same thing.
He goes around the world and in one way or another, highlights what he thinks are this country's failures and inadequacies and transgressions.
In a Barack Obama and the left, the Democrat Party, they teach American history as episodes of crime scene investigation.
The country is one long crime, and they get up when they talk about issues, when they talk about history, when Obama stands up and regales us with the list of problems that he has noticed lately.
It's no difference than watching an episode of CSI where they're searching for and trying to prove all these overlooked egregious crimes that have taken place in this country or that are going on now.
One long CSI episode.
By the way, back to free will for a second, the scientists, University of California Davis, say there isn't any.
Concept of free will could be a little more than the result of background noise in the brain, according to a recent study.
It's previously been suggested that our perceived ability to make autonomous choices is an illusion.
And now scientists from the Center of for Mind and Brain at the University of California in Davis have found that free will may just be the result of electrical activity in the brain.
According to the research published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, decisions could be predicted based on the pattern of brain activity immediately before a choice was made.
Volunteers in the study were asked to sit in front of a screen and focus on its central point while their brains' electrical activity was recorded.
They were then asked to make a decision, to look either right or left when a Q symbol appeared on the screen than to report their decision.
All of this work, all of this research with the express purpose of proving that we're all robots, essentially, and that there is no free will.
We're not autonomous.
We don't make up a road mines, and therefore we need somebody doing it for us, like Obama and the Democrat Party.
We need somebody smarter than we are.
We need somebody who cares because we're just not up to the task because we're all just a bunch of pre-wired followers.
And they would love it.
The more people they could convince of that.
Kathleen in Mentor Ohio.
I'm glad you waited.
It's great to have you here.
Hello.
Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh.
You bet.
When you were talking about the uh Clint, you know, the Clintons and they're on their uppers after the presidency.
I remember their playing that debt card years ago.
It was in '92 or '93.
A friend of mine sent the money.
I don't know how the touch was put to her, whether it was a letter or, you know, in some liberal journal that she took, but she talked about those poor people and their great debts.
I believe attorney fees were mentioned because she always liked to kick an attorney.
That we're the second caller today who has referenced the first Clinton legal defense fund in uh 92 or 93.
You're right.
I think Whitewater was involved there, too, if I remember correctly.
That's right.
They had a lot of unfair legal bills defending themselves against outrageous partisan political charges there, right?
Right.
And on the poverty uh issue, I see in the newspaper magazine from yesterday, a big article about the Obamas, quote, sharing their early money struggles.
And how Popo Po they were.
Oh, oh my god, the stories that they are telling about Michelle's just poverty-wracked beginnings, our legion.
It's all phony.
Michelle Obama grew up at upper middle class in Chicago.
Her father was a big Whig in the city Democrat Party machine there.
And we'll be back.
Sadly, my friends, we're out of busy broadcast moments.
Busy broadcast time for today.
There will be tomorrow, and we'll be back.
Thank you so much.
As always, for being with us today.
You make it all possible.
