Time Text
And we're back, my friends, the last great, busy, final broadcast hour of the busy broadcast day here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882.
If you want to be in a program, the email address.
Hail Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
Obama is preparing an amnesty plan.
This is not news.
The Wall Street Journal has late updates on what exactly is being planned, relaxing deportations in addition to granting amnesty.
He's going to do it.
The only question is the timing.
And we've always known, I have anyway, I've always, he was never going to do this before Labor Day.
He was never going to do this before the election.
He was never going to do it before Halloween, unless he could find a way for the Republicans to be blamed for it.
And they didn't step in any kind of a trap.
And in fact, the chairman of the Republican National Committee came out the other day and for the first time said that they were going to try to stop it.
And it was a shock.
Everybody was shocked because everybody's been assuming.
I'm sure you were too.
I have.
I've been assuming the Republican National Committee and the GOP wanted amnesty.
The Chamber of Commerce is out there demanding it.
And all of the Washington establishment wants it for, well, the Democrats want it for future voters.
The Republicans want, they think they can get some future voters, but their donors want the cheap labor, supposedly.
And so all these powerful forces of the establishment in Washington, we thought were aligned in favor of it.
So when Reince Priebus came out the other day and said that the Republicans, they win the Senate, are going to do everything they can to stop it.
It was kind of a shock.
But Obama is going to do it.
There's no question he's going to do it.
And it's all part of his transformation of America.
And he doesn't care about the political fallout.
And folks, I just want to remind you of something that I said earlier.
The election's important.
And I don't want anybody misunderstanding anything I've said to indicate that I'm not in favor of Republicans winning.
That is not at all.
When you have heard me say things that sound critical of the Republican Party, I'm simply saying that they're missing an opportunity here for a teachable moment to make this anti-Democrat vote more permanent rather than just once every six or eight years.
And that's basically what it is.
People vote against the Democrats after they get tired of them, and after a certain passage of time, they feel it's safe to return, and they always do.
We've got a teachable moment here, an opportunity to make this more than just a temporary one-off anti-Democrat Party vote.
It could have some meaning to it, but and it still could, even after the election, depending on how the Republicans want to deal with it.
But the point is that I don't care who wins.
By the very nature of Obama's mechanism here to grant amnesty, he's not going to do this with Congress.
He isn't going to do this with the House and Senate.
He's going to do it by executive action.
And his objective of transforming this country, because he doesn't like the way it was founded and he doesn't like what it became, these next two years, I don't think people, I really don't think a lot of people have any idea how scary this could get, no matter who wins.
Because the Republicans have taken off the table the only thing, Impeachment that would stop him.
They have taken it off the table.
They have assured everybody it won't happen, and we know why.
The impeachment of the first African-American president, Republicans don't think they would ever recover from that.
So Obama knows that nobody can stop him.
He knows that nobody's even going to try.
And not with the drastic step of impeachment.
Now, they'll try to stop him legislatively, but he's demonstrated time and time again that that will not stop him.
So all I'm saying is, hope I'm wrong, but these next two years are going to be unlike no such thing as lame duck here.
These next two years have the potential of being mind-blowing, with amnesty and illegal immigration just the first of many things that Obama thinks only he will do.
So he has to get them done before he leaves.
And he's going to do them in ways that he hopes will make them permanent.
He's going to implement these things in ways that he hopes will make it impossible to unravel, such as Obamacare, such as amnesty.
So our work is cut out for us.
But the Democrats are not conceding the election, they're out cheating all over the place.
Carolina vote fraud has been exposed thanks to James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
They've demonstrated how illegals are being taught to vote and where to go.
La Raza has got instructions for illegals and others where to go to vote to get away with it.
La Raza.
Voters have sued the state of Maryland over massive vote fraud by illegals.
In Illinois and Maryland, Republican votes in the machines are being converted to Democrat votes.
I could have done a first hour of this program on all the stories that highlight voter fraud: Colorado, California, Maryland, North Carolina, Florida.
I don't know how worse, how much worse it is this time around than any election.
Voter fraud happens every election.
I don't know if it's that much worse or if it's just the reporting that makes it look it.
I don't know if the vote fraud that is going on that might go on is enough to change the outcome.
I don't know that we ever know that, other than Chicago 1960.
That we were able to put our hands on.
In New Hampshire, 71% of new jobs are going to foreign-born, legal, and illegal immigrants.
We have this nurse in Maine openly, wantonly violating the Ebola quarantine, and she's being proclaimed a hero by the drive-by media and by extension, President Obama.
Obama has a photo op at the White House to shake hands with and hug people who have treated Ebola patients in Africa to show bravery and courage and to demonstrate to the American people there's nothing to fear here.
There's nothing to worry about in regards to Ebola.
But I remember him saying back in September that he doesn't do theater and that he doesn't do photo ops.
The New York Times has a story today about the absolute state of disarray the regime is.
And they even describe, are you ready for this?
The New York Times quotes somebody describing the Secretary of State John Kerry as spinning and floating out of control like Sandra Bullock did in that astronaut character she played in the movie Gravity.
They really portrayed Kerry as not knowing what's going on and just floating, wandering aimlessly from issue to issue in a genuine clueless state.
The story is about how Obama may have to replace some of the people in the regime because they're so incompetent.
The AP today, Democrats rush to save suddenly vulnerable incumbents, desperate Democrats rushing to save suddenly vulnerable House incumbents, even in states where Obama cruised to double-digit victories amid fresh signs of Republican momentum less than a week before the midterm elections.
Suddenly, suddenly vulnerable?
There's been no reason for any recent shifts in the polling.
The Democrats and their media minions are now just having to admit to reality, see, because what they've done, basically, they've lied to us for so many months to boost fundraising and early voting.
And now, all of a sudden, it looks like some Democrats are vulnerable, when in truth, they've been vulnerable for the past two years.
But to the media, oh no, it's sudden.
The Democrats suddenly have to worry about the three most liberal states in the Union, New York, California, and Hawaii.
And all of whom, by the way, just happen to have implemented various levels of quarantines on returning Ebola workers.
But regardless, the once-friendly terrain in New York, California, Obama's native state of Hawaii, an adopted state of Illinois now pose stiff challenges to Democrats, who are determined to limit their losses next Tuesday.
So the Democrats have to worry about the most liberal states in the Union?
You mean that's sudden?
What happened?
Why is this sudden?
Well, it isn't sudden.
That's the point.
The Democrats have been in free fall for the longest time.
The media has just done their best to cover it up in order to keep fundraising for Democrats up and in order to encourage early voting.
See, now we're down to nutcracking time.
We've got less than a week to go.
And now the media and their polling units have to consciously start thinking of their credibility when it comes to their projections vis-à-vis reality.
Washington Post election could tip historic number of legislatures into Republican hands.
There is this from this article.
In 2010, Republicans picked up more than 700 seats.
That was all the way down to ballot.
State, local.
I mean, it was that election was a massive landslide.
That election was a massive landslide because of the Tea Party, and because the Republican Party wanted no part of the Tea Party, not much was made of it.
But in the bowels of the Democrat Party headquarters and leadership, there was sheer panic.
You don't lose 700 seats and it not matter.
That was a huge shellacking, and they went into the 2012 presidential election worried sick.
And that's why the IRS began targeting Tea Party groups and trying to limit their ability to raise money.
The Democrat Party was, I mean, bamboozled.
2010 was horrible, 700 seats.
And all because the Republicans didn't want to claim the Tea Party, not much was made of it.
In other words, the Republicans weren't running around celebrating.
They gained 60-some-odd seats and gained control of the House.
And there was no champagne corks popping.
There was no back slapping.
There was.
It's one of the quietest, least celebrated victories I can ever remember in politics.
And it was huge.
Well, this Washington Post story harkens back to it.
In 2010, Republicans picked up more than 700 seats, which amounted to nearly one seat in 10 legislative seats around the country.
Republicans won one out of 10 in just one election.
This year, another legislative wave benefiting the GOP is certainly possible, perhaps even likely, the Washington Post says.
Now, this is not the way it was supposed to be, not at all.
Now, of course, the Washington Post could be writing articles like this so that if the GOP wins, but not by historical landslides, they can turn it into a quasi-defeat.
And don't discount that.
You know, by writing a story talking about how big it looks like it's going to be, and if it doesn't turn out that big, they can call it a loss.
The way they call a cut in Washington a cut when it's actually an increase in spending.
So if they project the Republicans to have, say, win another 700 seats and they only win 500, portray it as a loss.
Do not discount this.
The media will do everything they can as Democrats to buttress their own voters and try to dispirit you.
Even after a massive landslide Republican victory, the media will be trying to spin it as though it doesn't mean nearly as much as if the Democrats would have won by that margin.
So be prepared for that, too.
The media, there will not be any celebration.
If there's a wave election, if it's a big wave Republican victory, it's not going to be celebrated.
They're going to find ways to diminish it, to impugn it, to discount it, to delegitimize it, all to keep their own voters bucked up.
That's bucked with a B.
Well, I'm hoarse.
And if you misunderstood me, it would have also made sense.
Audio soundbite time.
Turns out that Oprah's BFF, Gail King, happens to agree with me.
Well, she may not know it.
By the way, I wish I could remember when this was.
And Gail, I'm not trying to ruin your reputation here.
But there was, this has to be 10 or 15 years ago now, when Gail King had not yet gotten in the media or maybe was doing some local radio show that was supposedly nationally syndicated.
At any rate, Gail King had some very complimentary things to say about me as a broadcaster, as a professional.
And I was shocked.
She was fun to listen to, very talented, this kind of thing.
Haven't heard it since.
I figure she was gotten to.
And she has agreed with me in one sense, although she doesn't know it, I don't think.
It's about the cat-called video.
They were discussing it on CBS this morning.
Gail King, fill-in host Jeff Glore, and the co-host Nora O'Donnell.
This is extremely common.
It happens all the time to me, and I'm just amazed that people have the brazenness to say the things that they do.
I'm just sitting here, Nora, going, I'm not going to get upset because somebody said, Hey, girl, you look good today.
You know what I say?
I twirl and say thank you.
It would be different if there's, you know, throwing you on the ground and saying, hey, I want to boink your brains out.
For the most part, some of that stuff was inappropriate.
But for the most part, they're just saying, smile, you look good.
No, but I mean, but there is a difference between someone that goes over the line and somebody that just says you look great.
Yeah, no.
To me, there's a line, and I don't just have to know where the line is.
Yeah, and not be threatening about this.
Yes.
In the meantime, I just say thanks.
Now, what she's talking about, what Gail King is talking about, if you watch this video, the vast majority of the comments are along the lines of, hey, girl, you look good today.
You watched it.
Am I right about the vest?
The first time I watched it, I honestly said, wait a minute, where are all the insults?
Where's the intimidation?
There's some, but I couldn't believe this.
Is what's fascinating to me.
I got to take a break.
I got to go here, Fabio.
Yakima, Washington.
Caroline, great to have you on the EIB Network.
Welcome.
Hi.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm great.
Thank you.
Gosh, they say it's really nerve-wracking, and it is.
I just wanted to thank you for the two books, or the three books.
I haven't gotten the third book yet.
My daughter has read the first two, and she came to me and asked me, Who is this guy that wrote the book?
So I said, Okay, let's go on the internet.
And so now she's reading, Gee, I told you so.
Wait a minute.
How old is she?
Your daughter's 10?
Yes, she's 10.
And your daughter's reading C, I told you so.
Yeah.
We just got it, and she hasn't.
And I said, Well, okay, then you need to do a report to me on it on who you think he is.
And because I listen to you all the time, and she hears you on the radio.
She's a rush baby.
Right.
And she absolutely loves the two first books.
You did an awesome job, you and Catherine, because behind every good man, there's a woman.
No, behind every good man, there's a surprised woman.
So I wanted to thank Catherine, too, for having a part in making these books.
Well, let me tell you, it was Catherine who said that we needed to include the plot device in the new book of Cam, whose father gets deployed to Afghanistan and he doesn't understand it.
Because it's something that afflicts bad word.
It's something that happens to all military families.
Their kids, even though they understand what mom and dad do when they get deployed, they haven't been able to come to grips when they're gone so long.
And they're young kids.
They want to be the apple-eye.
They want to be the focus of attention.
Mom and dad are gone for so long.
And so it was Catherine's idea to add that because we wanted to dedicate this book to the military and tribute the book to them.
And it was a brilliant, brilliant decision because we were able to combine something very real in the modern day and also that happened in American history with the time travels back to America.
That's where Cam learns it: time traveling back to American history.
And for your daughter, this is just, to me, it's cute.
Mom, who is this guy?
She loves these books, but has no idea who's writing them.
There's some voice on the radio.
She loves the characters and everything about it.
And I do want to say this.
Well, hang on.
I got to take a break.
It doesn't move.
Don't hang up.
Okay, back to Caroline and Yakima, Washington.
You said you wanted to say one more thing.
Yes, I did.
Not just the military kids are getting the benefit of this.
It's the other kids, too, because they go to school with these kids.
And they know that their fathers are gone and their mothers are gone.
And they hurt for them too.
So I decided.
You know what?
That's an excellent point.
And sometimes the way kids are, they can make fun of kids in that situation as well, in addition to empathizing with them.
Exactly.
So this is a teaching tool, and I wanted to tell you thank you very much.
It cost me a little bit of money, but it was well worth it.
Well, that's what I was going to say.
It's not that expensive, and it's worth so much more than what you paid for it.
Come on now.
You're not complaining, are you?
I'm not.
I know you're not.
I know you're not.
Look, what is your daughter's name?
Very first name.
Lily.
Lily.
Lily?
Lily.
As in the flower?
Yes.
Well, that's beautiful.
Well, I'll tell you what, I sent her an autographed copy of this one.
And then the audio version, too, since I did it.
God, she'd love it.
I have the audio of the first one, and we play it all the time.
And she just likes jumps up.
You do an awesome job on the audio.
Mom, who is this guy?
Who is this guy?
Okay, well, hang on here, Mr. Snurdy.
You'll get shipping information from you.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Yeah, I would love to know what she thinks of C.I. Told you.
Is that nine-year-old reading that book?
That's interesting.
Here is Greg in Lou as we head back to the phones.
Great to have you.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
How are you doing?
I'm pretty good.
Thank you.
Good.
I'm just curious, has anyone looked into this nurse from Maine?
Do we know that she's legit?
Because we know the conservatives tend to outgive liberals when it comes to charity.
And I'm just curious, is she perhaps just a total political operative who maybe went over to West Africa but didn't actually come in contact with any Ebola victims?
If she's a political operative and faking all this, what would the objective be?
I assume if she's a Democrat political operative trying to help the Democrats, how does this help the Democrats by thumbing her nose at the boycott or at the quarantine?
Oh, I think it by making her a heroine, it helps to promote unsafe protocols.
And I think this president would not be at all adverse to having Ebola come into the country.
Oh, come on.
Are you serious?
Yeah, totally.
In fact, that's why I think he sent the military overseas.
For what purpose?
I think that he could make good utilization of a crisis like that in any number of ways.
Like, let me guess, martial law.
Martial law would be good.
How about huge outbreaks?
Ta-da!
Here comes President Obama to the rescue with his national health care plan.
I just think there's a, in some way, Republicans.
Speaking of this, speaking of this, I had a story the other day.
Remember Bob Goodlatt, Congressman Virginia, said he saw a memo that the regime was actually thinking of bringing Ebola patients Africa to the United States for treatment.
And there's a story here.
I had it that they're not going to do that.
Let me see if I can find it.
The decision is...
Well, darn it!
Let me, wait a minute.
Here it is.
Administration, no plans to fly Ebola patients to the U.S., but they are just, it's from the Hill.com, that they are discussing moving sick patients from other countries back to their home countries.
But there's no plan to bring Ebola patients to the United States.
Now, I think that was a trial balloon.
I think they were thinking this.
Good lattice ran onto it.
And it could also have been, we had Mr. Snerdley said, now this is a deep-set trap.
You put the news out that we're going to bring African victims of Ebola in, and then you have Republicans react in outrage so that the Democrats can say, see, Republicans don't like Africans.
And then you have a campaign issue.
But it didn't last long enough for that.
And the Republicans didn't play ball anyway.
So the plan is apparently off table.
Folks, Greg here is by no means the first person that I have talked to who would not be surprised if Obama purposely wanted to bring Ebola patients into the country because a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
I don't know whether it's true, but I'm going to tell you the very fact, this is my, I guess I can sum up a point I've been trying to make for I don't know how long.
The very fact that we have people thinking this kind of thing about the President of the United States, I think is a sign.
This is not, it's unprecedented.
But there are a lot of people that think this.
To me, it's an indication of just how much divided this country is and how much mistrust there is for the people that occupy these lofty positions of leadership.
Actually would believe it possible that the president want to bring a deadly disease into the country for his own political gain.
That's when people start thinking things like that.
And this guy didn't sound like a nutcase.
He truly believes it.
Got to take a break.
Be back after you.
We go back to the phones.
Angela in Northern Virginia.
I'm glad you waited, and it's your turn.
Hello.
Thanks for taking my call, Rush, and Rush 24-7 Dittos.
Thank you very much.
Now, about the New York City YouTube video, I think men are being cowards on this issue, and I'm really tired of men backing down.
You know, it is okay for a woman to be all the woman that she wants to be, especially in the workplace.
They can dress any way they care to or dare to.
And the men have to just behave unnaturally, walking around with downcast eyes, or either be punished.
And I just think that if women don't want men to, if they don't want to catch fish, then they need to stop wearing fishing clothes.
I am so tired of men having to behave unnaturally and out of fear of being penalized by a feminized society.
It's just ridiculous.
Men need to stop being cowards and stand up to it.
Well, it's a good point, men being cowards.
Who has the ability to turn men into cowards?
Well, I just think that the way that the video is being displayed, the way that men have to ignore the fact that a nice-looking woman or even a woman that's trying to get attention, the way they dress, you know they're trying to get attention.
Come on, why would you put those things on?
Okay, but now this woman, I don't know.
She's clad head to toe.
There's nothing exposed.
It's all black.
T-shirt, snug-fitting jeans, looks like combat boots, typical New York female attire.
Okay.
And she's just strolling along.
She does 34 double D.
I mean, there's some guys, that's over.
That's all they have to see, and it's over.
And they can't control it.
Okay, well, again, if she had an overcoat on, what would have been the response, do you think?
Well, you know, that's interesting, too, because this woman, she's making a video.
So she wants to get reaction.
Otherwise, there's no video, right?
Mm-hmm.
That's exactly right.
So attitudinally, she wants to get some action.
And she did.
She got some.
I don't think men need to apologize for acknowledging a woman that looks attractive to them.
I think that men are being cowards about it.
And I just simply disagree with this whole thing.
Okay, so you think if you're walking down the street and you're anywhere and you're minding your own business, and by the way, let's say you're dressed nicely because your job requires it, or you like dressing nicely for yourself, and a bunch of men comment to you on that as they walk by you.
They don't stop and just say, hey, you look nice today.
Hey, that doesn't bother you.
No, that happens all the time.
Well, when I'm 50 years old now, but whenever, let's say 10 years ago, 20 years ago, whenever I worked, I had to cross the street to go to the store, whatever, and go back to the office.
And the car's on the street, and they're driving past.
They blow, they honk.
I was, you know, pretty much used to it.
I'm a nice-looking lady.
And I think that, and maybe some women who are attractive women, once you get a little older and you're not noticed as much, you kind of miss it a little bit.
And I think that a lot of women would agree with that.
Yeah, some old school women would, yeah.
Yeah, so I just don't think men need to apologize for being men.
I'm just sick and tired of men being.
Well, you see, this is my whole point.
The modern era of feminism has tried to erase men from men.
By that I mean they've tried to erase human nature.
Men do not understand women.
That is without.
You don't need to understand a woman to say that she looks pretty.
No, no, no, that's only but the same token.
No, men really don't.
But women don't either understand men.
Right.
That's what makes the world go round.
This is not a criticism.
I don't know.
I've wondered myself if women actually are aware what happens to a man who genuinely finds her beautiful.
If a man is looking at a woman and really thinks she is just it, there's a chemical change that occurs in the guy that he can't help.
Now, that's where morals and manners come in as to how he deals with that.
That's why those things are important.
But there are certain things.
And by the same token, a woman who gets her sight set on a man, wild horses can't stop her.
And this is human nature.
And it's this kind of stuff that makes the world go around.
One of my favorite songs, well, used to be, a boy chases a girl till she catches him.
For some reason, that lyric line is always fascinating because it's true in many cases.
And this is what people are trying to erase.
They're trying to take the mystique, the mystery, the pursuit, all of this out of what is a pursuit.
And without it, you wouldn't have babies.
You wouldn't have a population.
And that's even getting harder to accomplish now.
Anyway, I know what you're talking about, Angela.
It's a generational thing.
I've got to go.
I appreciate your call, though, very much.
There you have it, folks.
The problems of the day all solved and clean slate.
And we're all tuned up and revved and ready for tomorrow, Open Line Friday.
Thanks for being with us today.
