Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I should have done seen it coming, folks.
It's been right in front of my face, yours too, and I'm sorry.
I didn't see it till it was too late.
Ammett.
Ah, geez, dang it.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, sir revob open line Friday, Rush Linboy, your highly trained broadcast specialist.
Radio magnet behind the golden EIB microphone.
And remember on Friday, very few limits, if any, on what you can talk about.
So have at it.
The telephone number is 800 282-288-2, the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
I should have seen it.
I it was right in front of our face, and it just, you know why it didn't occur to me?
It's because it's so outrageous.
President Barack Obama, it is said, is considering the idea of granting refugee status to the children of Honduras.
Now that I that I predicted.
That's not what I missed.
Excuse me.
We all knew that was coming.
I mean, ever since we began hearing the term migrant and refugees, as opposed to illegal alien illegal immigrant.
We knew that was what I didn't foresee.
Obama is going to send U.S. officials to Honduras and okay them as refugees and then use taxpayer dollars to fly them to America so they don't have to catch the death train and go through Mexico.
We're gonna cut out the middleman.
We're gonna cut out the coyotes.
We're just gonna bring them here as refugees.
We are going to facilitate, we're actually going to provide the transportation mechanism for what are illegal immigrants to cross the border.
It's going to be done with an executive order.
There's no way any of it can be stopped.
It's being done under the guise, ladies and gentlemen, of reducing the flow of migrants.
But instead, it's going to have, and this is what Obama knows, the exact opposite effect.
It's going to be a magnet.
And it's just a pilot program.
It's just Honduras.
If it goes well in Honduras, then they're going to go do it in El Salvador.
And if it goes well in El Salvador, then they're going to go to Guatemala.
And it's not going to go badly.
How could it?
You go to Honduras, you send some regime officials down there, you basically stamp a purple thing on each kid's hand and put them on the airplane and send them here.
And it's and in order to do this, they will produce research, witness eyewitness accounts, whatever it takes.
They'll produce research that quote unquote proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that every child is escaping poverty, violence, war-torn countryside, abusive fathers, whatever it takes to qualify them as refugees.
The New York Times has this story, and they're all giddy.
They can't contain themselves, they're so excited.
What I didn't foresee, and I'm embarrassed, these people, they're always steps ahead.
I did not foresee that the regime would just go down there and assume the role of coyote.
So Although, although, I must remind you that I did last week or the week before.
I thought I would catch hell for this, and I didn't.
But I referred to the border patroller ICE, I forget which, as a bunch of coyotes based on what was happening already.
So my instincts were right, folks.
I just I didn't take them far enough.
Now, here's the way the story begins.
Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the regime is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the U.S. without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.
Uh this is not in any way hoping to stem the surge.
They're hoping this will increase the surge of what do you think is going to happen?
Agents of the regime land in Honduras, and there's an airplane there, and if you can get on it, you end up in the United States, and this is gonna stem the surge.
It's gonna be just the exact opposite.
They're hoping this'll increase the surge.
We're looking here at future little Democrat voters.
If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the U.S. as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds.
It will be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said.
And this, of course, is a great accolade for the oh, yeah, yeah, this is a we're so compassionate.
We have such big hearts.
We're going and getting the refugees.
We're not waiting for the refugees to make the trek north and in welcoming them at the border and say, hi, here's your voter registration card.
We are gonna go get them.
In a humanitarian effort, because we're such big hearted, compassionate people, we we know they're refugees now, so we're just gonna go get them and bring them in.
It's never been done in American history.
It's never been done in world history.
It's always been up to the refugee to get here.
Sorry, see how easy this is?
Illegal immigrant.
We're gonna go get the illegal immigrants, and we're just going to bring them here.
And of course, how can we leave their parents behind?
Wait till that hits.
The kids, you can see them boarding the airplane.
Count on the fact that there will be cameras.
Count on the fact that there will be pictures.
And little kids will be running up, little box of milk duds there.
You think they're gonna be turning around at the top of the stairs and waving bye-bye to mama and padre?
Yeah, they'll be wearing Obama t-shirts, Obama sneakers, whatever.
But you think they're gonna be turning around the top of the stairs of the airplane and wave by Mom!
Bye, Dad.
They guess gonna happen.
I mean, if it's war-torn and if it's poverty stricken, why would we leave anybody there?
Why are we only going to bring the children?
As I say, the New York Times is ecstatic.
It fits the pattern here, folks.
The stated purpose of Obamacare was to drive health insurance premiums way down, right?
You're gonna save $2,500 a year.
Your premiums are gonna go down $2,500.
You're gonna have it's gonna be much cheaper all over the right what happened.
The law's impact was to drive insurance premiums way up, and we haven't seen anything yet.
So now the regime is considering a plan to stem the surge of migrants, but what instead is actually going to happen?
And any fool should know this.
This is going to encourage a flood of new illegal immigrants to try their luck using the refugee excuse.
Under American law, refugees are people fleeing their country of origin based on fears of persecution by reason of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
So you say you cite one of the above, and you don't have to pay the coyotes to take you now.
You don't have to find a death train and sit on top of a freight car.
And you don't have to make the trip all the way north through Mexico.
Say refugee is now loophole.
Refugee gets you an amnesty card.
And this is going to be, this is guaranteed to be abused until it's rendered meaningless, until there won't be any difference between refugee and illegal immigrant.
And in fact, where this is probably headed is an effort to totally eliminate the term illegal immigrant or illegal alien and just call them all refugees because people fleeing their country of origin based on fears of persecution by reason of race,
religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group and throwing poverty in there.
We'll let that count.
So the audio sound bites, we have a couple here from Juan Orlando Hernandez, president of Honduras, interviewed last night by Greta Van Susteren on Fox.
She said, why don't your citizens leaving your country stop in Mexico?
Why do they continue on to the United States?
There's a lack of clarity in the migratory policy of the United States.
The language is ambiguous.
That's why the coyotes or the human smugglers take advantage of this situation.
The coyotes have made parents here think that according to new legislation on immigration reform, that it would make this reunification possible, or Or can just simply enter the United States with children.
Thank you, U.S. Media.
Thank you, Democrat Party.
And let's throw the Republican Party in there and give them some thanks too, because what the President of Honduras is saying, hey, look.
The language in your law is ambiguous, and it isn't.
It's the enforcement that's ambiguous, but it same practical fact.
We're not embossing the law.
If we're not enforcing the law and everybody shows up and gets to stay, why wouldn't you come?
That's number one.
And the coyotes, the human smugglers, they take advantage of the situation.
They have made the parents believe that there is new legislation, that there is immigration reform, and that it means the kids can stay if they get here and that they will be reunited with their parents.
And this is because that's what we think comprehensive immigration reform is.
And why do we think that?
Because we hear both parties talking about comprehensive immigration reform, amnesty coming out of the shadows.
Strip it all away, and what the President of Honduras claims to be hearing is we don't send anybody back.
And those that are here are going to be legalized.
So why wouldn't you come?
And the Coyotes, well, they can make money by bringing the children.
Now, what's changed is, and the President of Honduras didn't know any of this last night, or at least Greta didn't ask him about it.
We haven't had a chance to ask him, so what do you think about eliminating the coyotes and and and flying a bunch of 767s down there just to pick up your refugees?
And by the way, Mr. President, how do you feel about that?
The U.S. are going to send a whole bunch of planes down and pick up a bunch of your kids because your place supposedly is a war-torn disaster.
And we're just gonna we're gonna we're just gonna wipe your population out.
We're gonna bring a whole bunch of future Honduran adults to America.
What about that?
And he would say, please go right ahead, because they will be sending money back home and when they become adults, they will return home and they will or they will whatever.
We will be fine.
Otherwise, he would object to it.
You're not going to object to it, so obviously he thinks it's going to be a net benefit for him.
Van Susterin then said, President Juan Orlando Hernandez, you're going to meet with President Obama tomorrow, meaning today.
What are you going to ask President?
Let me guess here.
I haven't read the transcript.
I honestly haven't.
I don't know what the guy's gonna say.
I didn't see the interview.
I have not read the trans you gotta believe me.
What I got a wild guess that he's going to say he's gonna tell Obama what else would he say?
money.
Dinero.
Muy dinero.
A key now.
We presidents of Guatemala, El Salvador, and myself will ask President Obama and the Congress to accept that this is a problem that should be shared.
The humanitarian crisis of these children is a responsibility for Central America.
And also the United States.
Then they develop a plan.
Reactivity comprised of Central America.
Economic recovery in Central America.
There you go.
Reduction in violence.
Educational opportunities.
There you go.
Clarification of the migration policy language.
And it should be a joint effort.
Central America.
U.S. and Mexico.
But how do the Canadians escape any of this?
You know, we share a border with them to know.
What why why is that border somehow impenetrable?
Why does nobody keep going north into Canada?
I know that Central Americans don't want to freeze and all that, but come on.
But you heard it here.
By the way, the nugget in this soundbite is a problem to be shared.
We must share the problem.
The humanitarian crisis is a responsibility for Central America.
And also the United States, and there you have it.
It's a problem that we are responsible for.
The poverty and the economic distress.
We are responsible for it.
We caused it, you see, because we have an unequal share of all the money.
Yeah.
We have more than we share, more than we need.
We took it way back when from the conquistadors, whoever we took it from.
It's time now.
Time now to assume humanitarian responsibility.
That's how it works.
And of course, we have a regime who believes every word of that.
So there you go.
No, Obama's gonna do all that with executive action.
I got emails.
Is Congress gonna approve?
No.
Congress ain't gonna be gonna do with this.
You think that you think the Republicans in Congress are going to oppose any of this?
They're the ones trying to gain Hispanic vote favor by standing for massive immigration reform.
In fact, I I'm gonna say the Republicans signing on to this uh publicly, so the media can report all these Republicans that are standing in favor of immigration reform is feeding the idea that that there's uh uh mechanisms for people of foreign countries to get here and stay, uh, and that there is going to be amnesty.
But no, Obama's gonna do this with this with his phone and his pen, whatever, executive action.
Congress ain't gonna vote on this.
And if they were, do you think that they would vote against it?
You think the Chamber of Commerce would let them vote against this.
Uh ain't gonna happen.
Open line Friday always try to grab a call in the first hour, rarely in the first half hour, but we're gonna break the rule.
We had Mike and Huber Heights, uh, Ohio.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Man, I tell you, uh, you make my day.
Uh the inner city, conservative hip hop, starving artist dido.
I love, thank you very much.
How are you doing?
Um I just can't understand.
Um, you know, I did some time in the military, got my GD and all that.
I just cannot understand how these Ivy League people uh from these brilliant colleges and classes uh they come out and they don't understand what liberalism does to the country.
I mean, I I'm I mean I'm considered a high school drop out, and I get it.
I just don't understand how they can be so brilliant and yet still be so stupid.
Well, uh hey, let me tell you something.
You're you're you're singing one of my favorite songs.
It's why we've got to redefine smart, because they may be highly educated, but they've been taught a bunch of gibberish.
Now your question actually deserves an answer.
It's why I wanted to take you first, Mike, because it's actually a it's a question that has an answer.
And it it it has an answer that makes sense.
You're talking about recent graduates, so you're talking about people under 25, right?
Oh, gosh.
I mean, well, look at what they've been taught.
Look at what they became fifteen ten years ago.
What was going on 10 years ago?
The media and everybody was aligned in ruining George W. Bush.
George Bush was the worst guy ever.
Worst president war in Iraq was immoral, all of this.
They went to the financial crisis.
As far as they're concerned.
Every problem in this country was bought and paid for by Republicans.
Everyone, that's their experience.
They were taught that in school.
They were taught it at the Ivy League.
They watched it in the media, both pop culture media and news media, starting at about age 14.
They haven't heard anything else.
The Republicans have not had an energized candidate speaking out against what they have been learning.
It makes perfect sense really that they would think that.
They've been indoctrinated.
They haven't heard anything else.
That's what they think is normal.
And they think that they're the elite, few smart, able to fix the country because they've been taught by people who have told them that's who they are.
They're a pure product of indoctrination, Mike, not education.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's another reason why the Obama administration is going to go to Honduras in a so-called pilot program and declare the children down there refugees.
You can't – it's a little technicality that probably wouldn't hold up.
I mean, talking about what is the law in the United States anymore is – What's the big deal?
I mean, when the president can on a whim ignore it.
But nevertheless, technically speaking, you cannot apply for refugee status if you're already in the U.S., which explains why Obama is sending U.S. agents down to Honduras.
It's a technicality.
They can wave it.
That's not really why they're going down there.
They're going down there to speed the arrival.
They're going down there to fly them up here, so you have to wait for them to get through Mexico.
Now try to put yourself in the shoes of this president from Honduras who is sitting around letting all of this happen.
Now, this this president of Honduras in the past has said that he wants Obama to deem all illegals from Honduras as refugees.
But ask yourself this.
Why doesn't the president of Honduras do something to fix his country's problems?
Where's the pride?
Where's the pride in building a country, building a maybe a tourism industry that people go down?
Where is this?
Why is it, and I'll tell you why.
The United States is seen as a giant bank that gives money away.
As long as Obama's running, this country is seen as a bank, and you've got a bunch of leftists that are in power in all of these Central American and South American countries who are predisposed to resenting and despising the United States precisely because of our wealth and how we did it, capitalism.
And so they look at this place as a place to be fleeced.
And like all criminals, they think it's easier to steal than work hard and achieve.
So the president of Honduras is taking the path of least resistance.
Hey, you know what?
I'll pressure Obama, I'll press the United States, I'll have him pay for my economic problems down here, I'll get rid of some of my people, fewer mouths to feed, and it can uh boom my economy that way.
So what if they're young kids?
I don't care.
Uh and at the same time uh exact a little revenge against the United States.
And the the only thing that makes this possible is that we've got an administration sympathetic to all of it.
In the past, it didn't matter.
Central American dictator hated us, South American dictator hated us, that was their problem.
They had to conform.
They had to reform in order to gain our support and good favor.
It's upside down now.
They can remain who they are, and we will change in order to become more like them, which is exactly what is happening.
And it goes to our first caller from Ohio, Mike's question: how can these young Ivy League graduates say to him, an Ivy League education means you are among the smartest in the world.
And it doesn't mean that anymore.
In fact, I have a story in a stack here that's been building all week of stuff I haven't gotten to.
And it's quite long, which is one of the reasons I didn't get to it in the first place.
It's one of these stories.
If I started it, I would have felt compelled to finish it.
It might have taken a half hour.
And I don't know anybody wants to listen a half hour on one thing.
But it is a story that ran in the new republic.
And it's really all about the absolute worthlessness of an Ivy League education today, because it's basically nothing more than cookie cutter.
The Ivy League is turning out a rubber stamping little robots.
Now the new republic doesn't have a problem with the fact that they're liberals that are coming out of here.
The problem they have is that they're not teaching critical thinking.
They're just they're teaching obedience, subservience.
They're really creating a bunch of walking talking liberal robots.
They all come out thinking identically.
They come out with no critical thinking or curiosity.
They come out thinking they know everything.
They come out arrogant.
Which, by the way, for you millennials, uh more millennials I see writing little pieces on the internet about what Republicans have to do to win.
I'm I'm beginning to tech to detect a little arrogance in the millennial population to boot.
And although 28 know it all, 28-year-old, 30-year-old know it all.
But that's another story.
And I'll get to that at some point, too, when when I deem the time right.
I know it's not fair to what is he talking about, man.
I wish it well, it's a piece I've got here today.
I don't know if I'm gonna have time for it.
Well, then why did you bring it up?
I know, I know, but still.
I'm giving you the upshot of it.
Consider it bonus material if I give you details.
But I'm giving the upshot, this new republic piece was critical of uh of an Ivy League education anymore because there's you can't tell a difference in them.
They all believe the same things.
They're all trained to do the same thing.
Go to Washington and become part of the establishment.
Become a lobbyist, become a lawyer, become something to do with where the money in the country is.
And the easy money is in Washington.
Nobody has to work for it.
Everybody sends money there.
It's called taxes.
The only thing you have to do when you get to Washington is worm your way into the pile and come out with as much as you can.
But you don't have to work for it per se.
I mean, you don't have to produce it.
There's this thing called the income tax, and there's this thing called the payroll tax, and there's this thing called a corporate tax, and there's this thing called a capital gains tax, and there's countless thousands of these taxes, and it results in trillions of dollars ending up in that town every year.
So the Ivy League educate people, trains them, indoctrinates them on growing that place, getting finding their place, either in the bureaucracy of an administration or in a think tank or lobbying firm, uh, maybe run for office, uh, what have you, but they're all trained to believe that Washington's the center of the universe and that people run it of the masters of the universe.
And that's where real power is, and the and and the power resides in the notion that that place must always grow.
Washington must always get bigger, meaning government.
And they all come out thinking the same thing.
Now, this the caller from from uh from Hubert Heights in Ohio.
And he says, I'm a dropout, I know more than they do.
And he does.
In real-world, practical, commonsensical terms, in uh also in awareness of just what's going on around him.
I guarantee you that guy probably knows more, has a a greater collection, if you of knowledge in his brain than an Ivy League grad has.
An Ivy League grad may know a lot more than you and me about some obscure topic in women's studies.
I saw a court.
There's a there's a professor.
Oh, I should have printed this out.
It's in a story about about the Minnesota Vikings and their coach Mike Preyfer being suspended for two or three games because of what he said about gays overheard by Chris Clowey.
And in the story, it quotes a professor who teaches, I think, at USC at the Annenberg School of Media Journalism, whatever, at USC.
And this professor teaches something along the lines of gay and lesbian and transgender issues in television.
Or some it's it's but it's it's it's obscure wacko, unapplicable stuff in terms of the real world.
But this is the kind of stuff that's part of the curriculum and all of these highbrow liberal leftists.
I'll find it.
Yes, I can find if I well, I think I can find it.
I made the mistake.
I know I didn't print that out, and I meant to.
But this is the kind of stuff that they're exposed to.
They come out, and when they come, they think of themselves very highly.
They're very, very arrogant.
They think they're very special.
But in terms of knowing just things, and being able to look at the world with common sense, that's not taught.
Nothing's taught.
It's all indoctrinated.
Now, add to that.
They are anywhere between what a graduate 22 to 25.
We're talking, and we're talking undergrads.
So 22 to 25.
They became adults seven years ago.
Maybe 15 years ago they were just starting to pay attention, and what were they treated to every day?
There hasn't been a vibrant, energetic, exciting, charismatic, conservative in the in the in the political world their whole lives.
They have never heard conservatism or the principles that went to founding of the country.
They've never heard them articulated.
They've never heard that ideology articulated in a in an infectious, exciting manner that's filled with good cheer.
All they've grown up hearing is Bush this Bush, that, Bush, this Bush, that war count, body count, Iraq war immoral, America immoral, America sucks.
All of that's what they've grown up hearing.
And they've grown up hearing it, all of that is the fault of the Republicans.
And it's in the media every day, and they turn on John Stewart and I hear it there, and then you turn on Comedy Central, I hear it there, they turn on Seinfeld, they hear it, whatever they're watching on their phones, that's what they hear.
That's all they've heard.
That's all they've grown up here.
There's no way they would think anything else.
The only way they would think otherwise is if they've had parents who have tried to tell them that what they're learning is BS.
But you know kids and parents, how many of them are going to listen to them?
Rebellion being what it is.
So sadly, it's understandable why an Ivy League graduate would be a 125% died in the wool, fully committed leftist.
It's the only cool thing out there.
It's the only hip thing out there.
And it's going to save the world.
And it's going to save the poor.
And it's going to save women from the Republican war and what they've grown up believing this drivel.
Sorry, you know, a bunch of radio shows in Fox News are not enough to combat all this.
You need a Republican Party made up of exactly these kind of belief that's pushing for this kind of thing and seeking votes, which is a crucial thing based on these philosophies, and that they have not seen, that they have not heard.
They've grown up with a Republican Party scared to death of being conservative.
They've grown up with a Republican Party that they see trash in conservatives, along with the media, the Democrats.
So it makes perfect sense.
Sadly, that they would think what they think.
Except they don't think.
They already know.
They've been indoctrinated.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
How are you?
Welcome back.
by the way, folks, all of this is again why I decided to write books for children on the truth of American history, the Rush Revere, the Adventures of Rush Revere series with the Talking Horse Liberty, time travel adventures with exceptional Americans.
And we take kids back to actual events and put them there.
It's a fascinating.
If I say so myself, it's a brilliant technique, the time travel technique, where Rush Revere's substitute teacher has a talking horse that time travels.
Go anywhere in American history.
And take students along and with an iPhone video tape it all, come back and teach the class, and the kids saw it, were part of the event, Pilgrim's Landing, Boston Tea Party, uh, any number of things.
This is exactly why.
Because of the indoctrination is taking place.
And the indoctrination is coming in the form of teaching kids all that's wrong with this country, all that's unjust and immoral about it, and how the founding of this country was racist and big and all this crap, just trying to counter a little bit of it because this is too important.
And it's not it's not happening in every school system.
I mean, not every school system's lost, but more and more the multicultural curriculum is taking over, and the truth and the greatness and the specialty, the specialness, the uniqueness of this country is being written out.
It's being replaced with versions of American history that are going to make kids certainly not proud of America, which is the objective.
And after they've been taught this over and over, they're gonna they're gonna believe it, and they're gonna think they're the ones that know the truth, and everything else is a pack of lies.
Who's next?
Helen Attleboro, uh, Massachusetts.
I'm glad you called sir on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Yes, uh, good afternoon.
Thanks for taking the call.
You bet, sir.
It's in reference to the uh U.S. border being Troy, thinking back then.
All right, Obama's modern Trojan horses, these children coming in, and they are accompanied by adults.
That's the thing I'm looking at.
The big picture.
Meaning, meaning that the children are flown here, and then after they get here, the regime's waiting.
How they're being flown here.
They've been coming up in hordes.
Well, true.
I'm just trying to say allowing this to transcroft our borders.
Right.
I understand.
I'm trying to get to your point.
Your point is that once they're here, however they get here, then the claim is going to be wait a minute, where are their parents?
We can't separate them from the parents.
And then we're going to let their parents in.
That's your point, right?
The Trojan.
Of course, seeing the news uh photos, they're accompanied by adults.
Well, yes.
And but but not all of them are being accompanied by their parents.
Right.
So who are these adults?
Are they being sent back by the accompanying?
No.
No, they're of course not.
Well, there was, I think, some original misinformation about this that the regime is trying to correct.
The original misinformation was that kids and kids alone in packs and packs were getting on board trains, the death train, and were on top of freight cars, and people, my god, they're coming up here alone.
And so they've been, for photo-op purposes, they've been placed next to adults.
So, no, they're not coming unattended.
I mean, it just unattended means they don't have their parents, but no, they're it's it's been done to quiet some of the outrage.
But you're right, the ultimate, the ultimate end of this, it's like I said mere moments ago.
Let's transport ourselves down to Honduras.
And there is an American jet.
Let's say it's a Boeing 767.
They got stairs up to the front door, the back door.
Little kids are walking up and getting on board.
Are they gonna turn around at the top step and wave bye to mom and dad?
And if they do, what is up with that?
Who in the world would permit that?
So at some point you have to believe that the regime will start tugging at our heartstrings.
So, you know, these kids are here without their parents.
We can't allow that to happen.
And then they'll act like there's a big effort being made to find their parents and then bring them here.
This is that stuff's easy to see.
What I didn't foresee was going down there and setting up a refugee camp to authorize them and then fly them up here straight from Honduras.
That's what I did.
I think it was NBC Sports Talk, but I'm not sure.
