Time Text
Greetings, my good friends, and welcome back, Rush Limboy, your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, crises after crisis after crisis after crisis, chaos, all that, and your guiding light through even the good times.
Whenever they happen.
We're here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The telephone number is 800 282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I'm not kidding you, folks.
If they get amnesty, amnesty is Democrat Party control for a generation.
I mean, barring some unforeseen, unpredictable event that maybe you have to conclude educated guests that newly arrived poor, uneducated, unskilled people, legal Democrat voters.
Well, I was just asked question.
What about all the Democrat senators who fear that kind of move?
It's an excellent question.
And the answer to the reason the question, well, what Democrat senators are going to be re-elected.
And if Obama does this amnesty thing before the election, that's going to really take so many people up.
I honestly believe that.
I honestly believe, and I look, I know how this sounds.
I mean, I I I can imagine you, folks, hearing what I say here.
And I I know I I say it matter-of-factly with great confidence and conviction because I do believe it.
And then I can imagine you hearing it and going to try to sell somebody who doesn't listen to this show that you think it too, and then you can think they're gonna think you're nuts and so forth.
I understand in a sense that it really sounds strange to say.
I firmly believe, and I've got evidence.
I mean, I don't make this stuff up out of whole cloth.
Barack Obama has much more on his mind than just making sure Democrats, especially now he's not on the ballot.
He doesn't, he doesn't have to get any new votes.
If Amnesty, if somehow he could get five, six million people in here, uh, he would love to have the Republicans do it.
He would love the Republicans to actually make it happen.
I mean, that that would be Christmas morning for him.
But it is so crucial to his objective of transforming America.
Remember, he's not here to transform the Democrat Party.
He is here to transform the country.
And if there is a blanket amnesty for five, six million, or if he does it, does them all, then you have you essentially you have a one-party country.
No matter what the Republicans do, they're not gonna be able to compete with those numbers.
Now that, of course, assumes that the vast majority of these new arrivals dutifully vote Democrat.
That that is a major assumption.
Uh that's that's part of this.
But the fact that some Democrats would please no, no, no, don't do it without Republican help.
My gosh, if you do it with executive order, we're cooked.
Now, I I know he doesn't want that to happen, but if it comes down to his transforming the country in a major way before he leaves, or Democrats re-elected and holding this, I actually think H.R. that he'd be perfectly happy with the Republicans owning Congress.
I think he'd be perfectly happy with the Republicans gaining control of the Senate along with the House.
He would, it would be made to order for him.
They'd oppose everything he's trying to do.
It would give him excuses to his executive actions, executive orders.
He could continue to portray the Republicans as uncooperative, as partisan as playing politics with everything, and the low information crowd thinks only Republicans play politics.
The Democrats, they don't do politics.
They do compassion.
And they do big-hearted stuff, and they care about people.
But the Republicans, they just they just oppose everything.
You know, they just they just Hate.
That's the template.
So if the Republicans are blocking him at every move, he's got.
In fact, I can hear him saying that he would do this to make sure to save this country from the Republican Party.
I can I can hear him offering that as justification for his executive orders.
He's already got what 47% of the country who would agree with him on that.
That the Republican Party poses the biggest threat to the country because they don't care about people except the rich.
And all they want is tax cuts for the rich.
You know, and they don't care about racism because they are racists.
And they don't care about poverty because they're rich.
And they don't care about people because they're mean.
So if the Republicans are standing in his way everywhere he looks, why it's made to order.
So he may actually be thinking that for his selfish purposes, Democrats losing might make it easier.
Because what if the Democrats hold the Senate and he can't get enough of them to go along with Amnesty of the Republicans?
I'm just guessing here.
To make it look like he's got some assistance or some help here.
Amnesty, as we have discussed for years on this program, is the fastest, easiest.
Well, no, it's the path of least resistance because the Republicans are signing on to it, don't you know?
I mean, they're saying so, and the Chamber of Commerce is out there demanding the Republicans go along with it.
Amnesty would be alone enough for a political, not military, but political coup d'etat that would give the Democrats control with no serious opposition.
Modern Democrat politics is the fight between left-wing Olynskiites and even more radical left-wing Alinskyites.
There is no moderate center in the Democrat Party anymore.
And they don't like and they don't want any opposition.
Why do you think they're trying to criminalize opposition as often as they can, such as was happened with Rick Perry, such as what they tried with Bridgegate Chris Christie, such as the numerous recall efforts against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and every damn one of them was rooted in his supposed criminal corruption.
And the list goes on and on examples of this.com, posted recently there.
That's Eric Erickson's website and blog.
And there is a post, I guess he put it up, what was it last night?
It's from David Horowitz.
And I th I says here, note from Eric.
Please welcome to our front page the always awesome David Horowitz.
And the reason this was sent to me is because Horowitz has written a blog post here that basically says the same thing.
This is cool.
Horowitz actually thinks that Obama's purpose here is to wipe out the Republican Party and talks about how he's doing it.
Here's a passage.
Take one aspect.
Obama's lack of response to the slaughter of Christians in Palestine, Egypt, and Iraq.
Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered and driven from their homes in Iraq over half a million by some counts.
This is the oldest Christian community in the world dating back to the time of Christ.
What was Obama's response to this atrocity until a group of Yazidi, along with the Christians who were trapped on a mountainside, silence.
Even his statement announcing minimal action to save the Yazvidi and the Christians mentioned the Christians once in passing while devoting a paragraph to the obscure Yazvidi.
What this unfeeling and cold response to the slaughter of Christians tells us is that Obama is a pretend Christian just the way he is a pretend American.
What he is instead is a world-class liar.
That is because his real agendas are anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and obviously inconsistently pro-America's third world adversaries, to whom he's always apologizing and to whom he's always appeasing.
Obama lies about his intentions and policies because he couldn't survive politically if he told the truth.
The socialist plot against individual freedom called Obamacare was sold as a charitable attempt to cover the uninsured, which it doesn't, to lower health insurance costs, which it doesn't, and to allow patients to keep their doctors and their plan, which it doesn't.
What it actually does is take away a major piece of the freedom that Americans once enjoyed, the freedom to choose their plan and their doctor, and to not have the government control their health care or have easy access to their financial information.
And he also makes the point in this piece that all of this stuff is happening on purpose by design from the White House.
Get this, because Obama hasn't fired any of it.
It's my exact point.
That's why somebody sent me this.
It's not just me thinking this, folks.
And Horowitz is no slouch.
Horowitz is a former communist.
He was born to a communist mother and father.
He left them.
He became a conservative after becoming fed up with radicals and leftists.
And it's exactly what is this IRS scandal about?
Just take one case.
It's a plan unprecedented in modern politics to push the political system towards a one-party state by using the taxing authority of the government to cripple and destroy the political opposition.
That's right.
That's exactly what's going on here.
The administration, my point is that Obama going on vacation, Obama not firing anybody involved in all of these scandals, Benghazi, IRS, you name it, and going on vacation and appearing detached and having checked out.
It's all part of the scheme to facilitate him getting away with this.
In every one of these scandals, everybody says, where was Obama?
Have you noticed Benghazi?
Where was Obama?
He's off the grid, we can't find him.
IRS can't.
Did he know?
What was he doing?
Where was Obama?
Fast and Furious.
Where was Obama?
You pick it.
Oh, the Obamacare website.
Where was Obama for the year that everybody had to know it wasn't working?
Where was that's always the question?
Where was Obama?
And my point is he's right there, the man behind the curtain in charge of it all.
And the reason nobody gets fired is because nobody took the initiative to do this on the own on their own, and nobody is doing anything that he doesn't want done.
If they were, he would fire them.
Some of this stuff is pretty bad.
I guarantee you this.
Let's put Reagan or Bush in the White House, and you've got somebody in the IRS targeting their enemies, and you've got them denying them tax exempt status, and you have the Democrats find out about it, and the media finds out about it.
I guarantee you the first thing that would happen is that the president would find out who did it and fire them publicly just to appease everybody.
The second reason they'd be fired is for insubordination.
Well, there hasn't been any insubordination here.
So I will just say it again, all these vacations and all of this detachment and going to all these fundraisers.
And now in Ferguson, where's Obama?
Well, he's he's out playing golf.
He's out playing golf for Ferguson Burns?
What the hell is that is to make it look like he's got nothing to do with it.
Please do not doubt me on this.
Nobody ever asked where was Nixon when he wasn't doing half the stuff they accused him of.
And nobody ever asked where was Bush.
Weapons of mass destruction, that was Bush.
Watergate, that was Nixon.
With Obama, he gets away with being attached.
And he's so detached if people worry.
Oh my God.
Our country's not enough to interest him.
Oh, gee, what's wrong with us?
It's so bad.
We've got the smartest man here ever to live, and he doesn't care about our country.
Oh my God, he'd rather play golf.
We worry about Obama.
He's so detached.
I think it's really masterful the way they've pulled all this off.
But it's not none of this is a right in front of everybody's eyes take over.
This is all happening with public support, ostensibly.
Is it not?
I mean, yeah, only recently are the approval numbers down, and only on Obamacare do you have uh dependable opposition to it, but still happened, isn't it?
So of course you need the media on your side to make it.
There's no way any of this works without the media on your side.
No way at all.
I mean, don't that goes without saying.
The media make it possible.
That's why it's also left.
I what I see I hear Jill What's her face, Abramson?
So we had that soundbite to her the other day.
Cookie, you gotta get me that again.
I just just to hear it, just to hear her speak.
You gotta get me that sample.
Jill Abramson said this is the most unfriendly administration of press, the most dangerous to press freedom and all this stuff, all these people talk about the Obama administration, the biggest threat to press freedom?
Who are they trying to kid?
That's part of it too.
If any of this stuff had happened under Reagan, the media be saying, where was Reagan?
If it happened under Bush, where was Bush?
When it happens under Obama, oh, it's so sad.
Obama's so bored.
Oh, he's gone on vacation again because he's just not challenged, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Here's the Jill Abrams invite.
This was um uh June the second on Face the Nation with Bob uh Bob Schiefer.
And he said the attorney general asked the Bureau Chiefs, various news organizations here in Washington, to meet with him to discuss his handling of all the leak investigations.
New York Times, CBS, some others decided not to attend.
The reason we didn't go is because they told us it'd be off the record.
It's Bob Schaeffer.
Why did you at the New York Times tell the Attorney General that you were not going to have a conversation about all the leaks?
The Times and our readers are quite concerned about the six active uh criminal leak cases that the Obama administration has pursued.
That's more than all the other administrations combined.
And you know, we are concerned that the process of news gathering is being criminalized.
So she was very concerned because of all of the criminal leak cases that they more than any all the other administrations combined.
and As you know, we are concerned about the process of news gathering is being criminalized.
Just like the Republican Party is being criminalized.
I think to believe this, that the New York Times is fed up with Obama.
This is part of the this is part of the whole rigged game, too.
Are you kidding me that the news media so mad that Obama's trying to criminalize what they do?
Here's uh here's Elizabeth Silver Springs, Maryland.
Thank you for calling.
It's great to have you here.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
You bet.
Um, I always just call in because um I know there's one in every family, but we have a a couple crazy, actually, most of my family are crazy liberals, and even they are getting outraged about the whole illegal immigration, kids coming across the border, and we just found out here in my brother and sister-in-law live in Virginia, and I live in Maryland, and some like three thousand kids will be enrolled in the public school system.
And you want to know what you can do.
Well, we've called we've called, you know, a representative.
We've called I mean I don't know what to do.
We've done everything that I think we're supposed to do, but it's not gonna make a difference.
You can't do anything about it because the problem is not designed to be solved at your level.
This is something that shouldn't happen in the first place.
Well, this has to be solved where it started, and that's at the White House.
That's the word what can you do?
You are you gonna you have the means to send 3,000 kids back home to wherever they're from?
You don't even know where they're from.
How are you gonna get them back?
Who's got the money to do that?
I have to take a break here.
Don't go away.
We'll be back in a jiffy.
For Elizabeth in Silver Springs, Maryland, uh, I think we did this story one day last week about 3,000 kids that were being enrolled in Virginia.
Not Maryland, where she was, but it was 3,000 kids that are being enrolled in uh in Virginia and the Virginia Department of Education has already issued a statement saying these kids have to be allowed to go to school.
I know we did that story.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
They have to be permitted to go to school.
There's nothing you can do about the federal government has told you, Elizabeth, there isn't anything you can do.
She called here.
They're at their wits.
She, if you missed her call, she said that there's a you know, like every conservative family, there's always a couple crazy liberals, and she's got a couple.
Even they are upset at what's happening here with this immigration business.
And uh stands to reason that there's some liberal Democrats.
See, there's a bunch of different kinds of little Democrats, and the rank and foul voting liberal Democrats are not often as strident committed as left-wing leadership in this country is.
I mean, most people don't even think of themselves as liberals.
They're just Democrats, and the other guys are Republicans and conservative liberal the conservatives are the wacko Republicans, and then there's the Republicans and the Democrats, and these Democrats I'm talking about, they don't think of themselves as wild radical leftists.
And as such, they don't recognize it in people like Obama or Biden or Holder or any of the other, which is why they react the the way they do when you tell them they are.
Radicals.
Because they just see Obama's a reasonable guy as a Democrat got elected first black president.
Why don't you like him?
What's wrong?
What's he done?
Nothing wrong.
He's a Democrat.
Democrat.
But now this causing some of those Democrats to wait a minute.
Because even this makes no sense.
This is a direct assault on the working man, quote unquote working man being the union guy.
Here you have people being brought into the country specifically because they'll work dirt cheap.
Who does that hurt?
The Democrat working man.
So she said, what can we do about it?
Nothing.
Because the problem did not happen at your level.
That's the problem with statism.
That's why so many of us have been trying to sound the alarm for so long.
This this stuff's gotta be stopped at the border.
Once they get here, they have de facto amnesty now.
They don't even have to be granted amnesty.
These kids coming up from Central America, they cross the border, they get sent into some rehab center there at the border, where they're given a cursory exam, and then they're sent out all over the country.
Family members, don't you know, or volunteers taking them in in their homes, and then the communities are told you have got to enroll them.
Well, they may as well.
They're not going back.
Once all this starts ramping up, folks, this is Jeff Session's point.
There isn't any deportation.
And that's where this is.
Oh, Elizabeth said her brother lived in Virginia.
Okay, well, that's all right.
That makes sense then.
At any rate, here's Mark in West Palm Beach, Florida, across the bridge from us.
And welcome to the program.
Hello.
Mega Ditto's, I've been waiting years to say that to the EIB.
The reflection is very bright out here.
I must need sunglasses, Rush.
Well, I'm not gonna be able to do that.
Kind of like all those solar panels that are killing the birds.
Exactly.
The misters or whatever they call them.
So I called you today.
You started out, I was uh when I got in my car talking about Ferguson, Missouri.
And one of my big concerns, uh I'm really counting on Al Sharp and Jesse Jackson, Bobby Holder, and I've uh probably our president, oh President Obama are gonna get involved in this because if when I buy business insurance, it covers me for acts of God and acts of war.
And I'm wondering who's gonna take care of the ripple effect in that community for all those businesses that are being destroyed, their merchandise is being taken, uh uh firebombs through the wingows.
Yeah, and get this.
It's all being done.
Not all, but we have learned, as we reported accurately yesterday, been confirmed today, most of the agitators from outside of town.
Most of the protesters, most of the violent protests, the looters and all that are from out of town.
Not all, but most are from Oakland.
So they're not destroying their own property.
They are destroying other people's property.
It'd be one thing if the people were Ferguson were rioting and looting and destroying their own neighborhoods, but they're not.
Well, some of them are.
But the majority are outside agitators.
But it's a good question.
Where is the compassion for the property owners?
Where's the compassion for the store?
What the hell did they have to do with this?
They are arming themselves on Friday night, on Friday night.
When the looting started, the cops backed off and let it happen.
The theory being, let them blow off some steam.
It'd be much less a hassle than if we try to stop it.
Conflict resolution 101.
Don't intimidate mad angry perps.
Let them get it out of their system and then negotiate.
And it doesn't work because the police are charged with defending and protecting the community, the private property of the community.
People who own those stores were showing up outside their stores and inside armed.
And were ready to take matters into their own hands.
It's just absurd.
But it's a it's a great question.
Are there any fundraisers for these people?
I mean, they're they're victims too.
They clearly are victims.
The name Tom Steyer ring a bell.
We've mentioned him on this program before, it's a billionaire.
Hollywood environmentalist wacko.
He is one of the primary reasons Obama has not signed the Keystone XL Pipeline agreement.
Because this guy threatened to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to Democrat Party at large.
He's not the lone reason, but he's a main reason.
He made his money in the coal business.
He made his money in conventional energy, and now he's become a wacko.
And he's a hedge fund manager now.
Tom Steyer, he attempted to explain why there is still a sizable portion of Americans that don't buy into global warming alarmism.
And he said he was he was speaking at a at a climate conference hosted by the American Renewable Energy Institute.
And he said, I think if you were to go around to most of the what I would think of as super sophisticated people who think about politics and policy more than five minutes a month, that we're doing very well there.
But with people who are not sophisticated, i.e.
the idiots, they're the ones we have to reach.
How are we gonna how are we doing with everybody else?
The 99.5% of the people whose lives are busy and complicated and are not sophisticated and they don't get it.
The point being, here we have another arrogant, condescending liberal who thinks the only reason his stupid pet issue does not enjoy majority support is because the people are stupid and unsophisticated.
And I just made reference to it moments ago.
I've had this story for the past couple of days.
There is a solar plant in California, a giant, giant array of solar panels killing 30 birds an hour.
They are being immolated in mid-air.
They literally leave a brief plume of smoke and a medium well cooked carcass as they fly over the.
I'm not kidding.
It's like what it is, it's like Star Wars, it's uh federal wildlife officials counted an average of one streamer, that means bird killed flying over panel every two minutes.
The energy company estimates only 1,000 birds are scorched every year.
A prominent environmentalist group puts a number at 28,000.
But it's okay because as people like Tom Steyer, the super sophisticated environmentalist wackos who know that human beings are destroying the planet.
Uh uh it's okay when they do their good works.
If animals die, that's the price we pay.
I'm not making it up.
Wind turbines kill bald eagles, solar farms are roasting any bird unlucky enough to fly overhead.
And have you heard about the armed men who attacked a Liberian Ebola clinic and freed all of the patients?
I'll tell you about that when we get back.
Chuck one up for the good guys, folks.
An ID theft ringleader has been nabbed, a man authorities believe to have been a prolific identity theft ringleader has been arrested.
Uh cops found 120 fake IDs, stole a credit card, several hundred forged checks, and social security cards in a home connected to the Washington State guy.
Members of the ring would break into mailboxes and cars, steal personal information or credit cards.
A man would allegedly make fake IDs in his picture with his picture and the victim's personal information, and got away with it for a while.
Now, important to point out, nobody can stop all identity theft because these thieves are smart in many cases, they're one step ahead of everybody.
But Life Lock just got better, and life lock is even more equipped to deal with this.
Everything about us, bank records is connected, stored some cloud somewhere, and all it takes is one hack, one breach.
Thieves could have everything they need to take over our lives.
That's why I have Lifelock Ultimate Plus.
And every time one of these things happened, I just smile.
Because I know that I am protected.
And you can be too.

It's 800 440, 4833, LifeLock, New offer code Rush, which will save you 10%.
Monrovia Liberia.
Officials there feared that Ebola could soon spread through the Capitol's largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items, including bloody sheets and mattresses.
What happened here is, armed men went into an Ebola clinic in Liberia and freed the patients.
And one of the theories to explain this is...
Is that the people that lived in Monrovia were all fed up with the fact that these patients were brought there?
Made the residents of a slum that's called West Point mad and scared that the virus was being brought into their town.
They don't trust the government to deal with it, so they let the infected patients loose, hoping they would leave.
