Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It's unbelievable.
It is happening again.
It's happening all over again.
You remember during a Republican.
It was a primary debate in January, two years ago, and Mitt Romney out of the blue was asked by George Stephanopoulos.
So what do you think about contraception?
And Romney's going, what?
Contraception?
I don't know what, George, what are you talking about?
And Stephanopoulos kept pushing and kept pushing.
And it wasn't an issue anywhere.
So Romney finally answered it.
And that gave birth to the war on women.
There was no war on women.
And now this vaccination thing has popped up.
And it's this, it's a it's another attempt at recreating the war on women.
This is designed to destroy Republicans, particularly Republicans running for president by creating a phony debate over vaccinations, a debate that does not exist, a controversy that was not alive, and all of a sudden now,
the drive-by daily soap opera theme or meme today is a debate between Christie and Rand Paul and others in the Republican primary field over whether or not vaccinations should be mandatory while nobody's even talking about why we need them.
We're talking about vaccinations for a conquered disease.
Measles.
We haven't had measles in this country in ages.
Why do we have it now?
And this is the one thing that's not being talked about in any of this, and that is Obama and his illegal immigration and the flood of measles infected kids from Central and South America, who, by the way, have not been vaccinated and are not subject to mandatory vaccination because they're not citizens and so forth.
This is the most incredible thing.
We're watching it play out exactly as the phony contraception debate did.
And then here came the war on women.
What's this going to be?
The war on kids?
Because what's being set up here, folks, by the way, hi, Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
What's being set up here?
There are some Republican parents who don't want to have to vaccinate their kids.
They don't want the government to have that kind of power.
And so Republicans are once again being set up as anti-government, anti-health.
All this stuff.
I mean, this is just, it's the, and there's another reason why this is happening.
Folks, and that's to cover up Mrs. Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton has plenty.
If you go back and look, Mrs. Clinton, maybe one of my crack researchers will do this.
If you go back and look, Mrs. Clinton has plenty of anti-mandatory vaccination statements that she's made on the record over the course of many years.
I mean, she's been on both sides of this.
You know, she's been in the vaccinations, and we wanted vaccinations to be mass manufactured, mass distributed, and and she did have a period of time where they mandated everybody should have them.
And other times she's been on the other side of it, too.
But I mean, this is a new birth control of 2016.
That's what this is.
And nobody, I'm stunned that nobody's talking about why we even have the problem.
Illegal immigration, the flood of kids that we first heard about, began to hear about a little over, well, not quite a year.
Yeah, about a year ago.
So what are we gonna have?
War on families, war on kids, war on science.
You're gonna bet three or four new wars here that the Democrats are going to create, just like they created the war on women.
And it's the left, it is the left which traditionally has been so fervently against vaccines.
They pushed the idea that was a cause of autism, if you don't remember.
It was the left, our good friends on the left, as they say in Washington, our good friends on the other side of the our good friends of Democrats that are out there claiming that autism was the result of unnecessary, unneeded vaccines.
I'm sitting here last night, honestly, um, by the way, folks, I got a couple, see I told you so today that are just here.
Belichick is the biggest genius in the end of I knew it, and I've got the audio soundbice to prove it.
I sent snerdily a note last night, complete with an email, said, Look at what did I just say today.
And I have that coming up, and Chick-fil-A, the the manners, the good manners columnist that the Washington Post is now demanding that if you have good manners, you will avoid Chick-fil-A.
And this comes on the heels of what we talked about with McDonald's yesterday and how the uh uh all together with uh talk about Scott Walker and one of the reasons he's polling so well with the Republicans is he's fighting back.
Speaking of which, politico, here it is, Rush Limbaugh rallies behind Scott Walker.
Conservative radio titan, Rush Limbaugh says Scott Walker is what's been missing from the Republican Party fighter.
And so they got hold of this on Fox News today to ask Carl Rove about it, and Rove counseled caution, let's not get too excited too soon about polling data this early.
Let's all just pull back and be reasonable about this.
So that's a giant C I told you so.
There's also when it comes to the Seahawks, folks, this one is actually real.
I mean, in terms of it being out there in the legitimate news story.
It's there are this call that happened in that game.
We're gonna get back to vaccine thing here in just a second.
I'm just setting the table with all coming up on the program today.
This this thing with the that stupid, that inexplicable call.
The last play of the game in the Super Bowl.
Do you know that that call?
Do you know that the reason that call was made was because of latent racism on the Seahawks coaching staff.
Yeah, you're gonna write there in the Nation magazine, and by the way, not just there, it's everywhere where you find lunatic leftists.
Well, why does it make no sense?
Why is it?
Well, I explain it if you just sit there and be patient, I'll explain it from the left's perverted thought process.
I'll tell you how that call was racist.
The call was racist not to give the ball a Marshawn Lynch and instead give it to Russell Wilson because the Seahawks and and and Coach Carroll think that Wilson is a much cleaner cut black guy.
He's a more wholesome black guy than Marshawn Lynch.
He's not as dark as Marshawn Lynch.
And uh Seahawk liberals do.
And they have now said that they've got a source in the Seahawks locker room that told them this.
And unnamed, this is exactly how liberals think.
Liberals think anything like this cannot happen.
There has to be a reason.
There has to be a bigoted reason behind everything that they can't explain.
And in this case, the Seahawks coaching.
Now we're in a split second circumstance here.
We've got less than a minute, we got one timeout, we've got the Super Bowl.
Nobody, this is what's crazy about the Belichick is the genius rumors.
Everybody's in panic mode at that time.
Nobody is traveling along at five miles an hour, seeing the whole world go by in slow motion and have time to come up with a reason genius like everybody's reacting here.
And so the idea that Belichick is some genius by not calling a timeout and forcing the Patriots into throwing a pass, that's as ridiculous as this, which is that the Seahawks coaching staff, not just Carroll, but the management too.
They're tired of Marshawn Lynch, he's a bad actor, he crack grabs crotch after touchdowns, gets fined.
He won't talk to the media.
They don't want this guy to be the star of the game.
No way.
They want the clean-cut face of the franchise, Russell Wilson to be the star of the game.
That's why they didn't call a play that would win the Super Bowl.
And they claim that they've got a source in the Seattle locker player, unnamed, uh, that is responsible for spreading this rumor.
And there are many other rumors that are variations on that theme that are other you probably have heard them.
Uh, but it's it the left is eagerly picking this one up and and running with it.
Racism, bigotry explains why Marshawn Lynch did not get the call.
Grab audio summit number one.
That's what I want to do.
Let's go back to yesterday, me on this program.
Here's what's going to happen.
The legend is Belichick's genius, and that's how this is all gonna end up.
Say what's gonna happen.
Belichick didn't call timeout.
Forty seconds left.
Second and goal.
Forty seconds.
The story is that the Patriots had capitulated.
Given a meaning, let them score with as much time left and get down for a field goal of a tie it.
That's the thinking.
Capitulation, not conceding.
Capitulate, just don't contest.
Let them score the touchdown.
Belichick is going to be said to be of genius.
What's going to be said, and it may have been said already other place.
I don't know, because I haven't listened, as I never do.
But the key Belichick not calling a timeout, they're going to say that Belichick not calling a timeout lured Pete Carroll into making the mistake.
That Belichick's genius by having the defensive personnel game that he had at that point was a lure.
That's exactly that.
What personnel did Belichick have in the game?
He had three cornerbacks.
He did not have a goal line, standard goal line defense, with a he had eight guys lined up in the box.
I mean, he played for the run, but but uh he didn't have two cornerbacks, two safeties.
He had it three quarterbacks and a safety in there.
It wasn't running a standard nickel defense, which you don't do in the goal line anyway.
Um, but this not calling the timeout, that was genius because the Seahawks expected Belichick to call a timeout.
And they were going to use the New England timeout to take the time.
It'd be a 30-second timeout in that circumstance, to discuss in the sideline what to do.
Throw a pass, uh, run the ball with Lynch or whatever, but Belichick out Foxed him, yes.
Belichick lured them into losing the game by not calling the timeout, and the Seahawks waiting and waiting for the timeout, which was never called time, ran off the clock.
Seahawks panic and decide, all right, let's throw the ball because that's the genius of Bellich.
That's what I said is going to happen.
Here it is in the uh since it's the uh Washington, this is USA didn't know what where would you know I'm getting so sick and tired of these things I print, not identifying.
Looks like it's a Washington Post, but it's a it's a USA Today picture.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
It's it's the Washington Post USA Today.
Bill Belichick made a sneaky, smart decision that might have contributed to fatefully luring in Pete Carroll.
Pete Carroll's confounding last-minute play call Sunday night will be discussed and dissected and debated for as long as they play Super Bowls.
And they go on to say that Belichick not calling a timeout, just totally discombobulated exactly what I said.
I mean, just exactly what I said.
Audio sound bites, a little montage here, various sports personages making the same thing from yesterday and last night.
You just get the feeling Bill Belichick knew what was coming.
I thought he really output the Seahawks.
I don't know what he was thinking, not calling that timeout, but it's probably the greatest play of his career that he didn't call.
It's pretty remarkable.
Belichick didn't use had timeout.
Pete Carroll maybe found himself with a bounty of options suddenly that really weren't that bountiful after all.
This guy's made out to be a genius.
If in fact Belichick looked at that setup and he saw three wide receivers, and he thought to himself, let them run that play.
We have it.
And then he didn't call a timeout for that reason.
He's the smartest guy ever.
See.
See, so what's what what's it's it's gone from the Seahawks just making an absolute bonehead call to they were lured, trapped, and suckered into making a bonehead call by the brilliance of Belichick or Belichick.
Now, I suppose, folks, it could be the one thing, if it's true, Belichick is never gonna own up to this.
He's always Belichick is always downplayed his own genius and everything else.
So they're never gonna get any confirmation.
But I uh with emotions running, and when you've got that kind of time left, not much, the world is going by much faster speed than normal speed.
I mean, the idea that anybody would have the presence of mind to think those kinds, I guess it could be possible.
That's why I made the prediction because people are saying it.
So uh there it is.
You can count on me, ladies and gentlemen.
Coming up with this.
Uh, and here is grab audio soundbite number five.
It's last night in the Kelly file, a Fox News channel.
She's speaking to a lawyer, uh, the attorney Arthur Adala about the Seahawk decision to try a pass play instead of giving the ball a Marshawn Lynch.
And here you go.
The other theory, which is more compelling and more believable, is that Pete Carroll was almost instructed that the running back who mocked the media, who mocked the system the whole week, could not be the star of the game, could not be the MVP.
They wanted Wilson, the quarterback, to be the MVP.
People are saying this is in the locker room, apparently, Megan, some of the players are saying they didn't want to let the running back be the star.
Okay, so there you have it.
That's Arthur Idola, a lawyer on Fox News, and then a bunch of lunatic fringe leftists bigots and racists themselves are out there making the same claim that it was racism behind the call.
The politics of race is behind the call, not to give it to Marshawn Lynch.
And everybody is sourcing Seahawks players.
Now if Seahawks players, unnamed in the locker room are telling people in the media that's what they think, then they got more trouble on that team, and they got more trouble in that locker room than anybody has any idea.
You got two black guys.
You got Russell Wilson, you got Marshawn Lynch, as people are charging racism here because one of them is more authentic than the other.
And that would be Lynch, who's more authentically black, and therefore, and the Seahawks don't like these, you know, it does it, crotch grabbing after he scores touchdowns sometimes, and he doesn't talk to the media and uh basically a malcontent, and they didn't want to reward that.
Didn't want to people need to remind themselves they just signed Marshawn Lynch to a massive contract extension.
They just announced this Super Bowl week.
I mean, it's not as though like that they're trying to get rid of the guy.
But anyway, stuff that's out there, and then we learned, uh, ladies and gentlemen, Warren Sapp.
Super Bowl sex sting NAB's 570 would-be sex buyers arrested on a national Super Bowl sting that ended on Super Bowl Sunday.
We don't know if that was the sting that got sapp, but Sapp was got.
They zapped Sapp with solicitation and abuse.
Those are the charges and the allegations.
So the NFL network where he was employed has fired him.
And not good.
Not good for the league, not good for Sapp.
And I for you guys out there that think you know these athletes, everything comes to them.
Here's SAP, he has to buy it too.
He has to pay for it.
So don't be down on yourself.
By the way, folks, one of the ways that you end up, if you're a lunatic fringe leftist, and if you're known for believing and publishing lies about conservatives, and if you believe that racism was behind the call to throw the ball instead of giving it to Marshawn
Lynch, you look at this guy that made that claim in his original post of the story, thought that Russell Wilson was biracial, and that explained Russell Wilson's less-than-dark African-Americanism.
And Russell Wilson is not biracial.
And so that has been deleted from the original article.
But it was that...
That's how...
That's how convoluted these people are.
You know, the leftists and the ones that judge everybody by the color of their skin, their sex oriented.
They're the ones that have bigoted thoughts running through their perverted minds with all of this stuff.
They're the ones obsessed with all of this.
You want to know the roots of this.
By the way, I want to remind you, we covered the origins of this story even when we didn't realize it at the time.
You remember when Seahawks got rid of Percy Harvin?
They traded Percy Harfin to the Jets.
Or maybe they released him and he signed with the Jets a free agent.
I don't remember how that went down.
But remember one of the reasons I said they had to get rid of Percy Harvin?
You remember why?
Because he was a bad influence in the locker room.
That he wasn't getting along with the quarterback.
Russell Wilson.
And you know why he wasn't getting along with the quarterback?
Because Russell Wilson wasn't black enough.
And you know why Russell Wilson wasn't black enough, according to this story?
Because Russell Wilson was too close to management.
Russell Wilson was too close to ownership.
Russell Wilson was part of the establishment, like RG3 in Washington is with Daniel Snyder.
So he wasn't down for the struggle.
Russell Wilson was too close to the white power structure that owns and manages the team.
And there was strife throughout the Seahawk locker room.
Remember this?
And so Percy Harvin, he couldn't get along with Wilson.
And by the way, I think the story there he was buddy buddy with Lynch, something they had to get.
So it continues.
Russell Wilson continues to be in terms of leftist media the focal point of problems in that locker room.
It was October 23rd last year.
And we talked about it on this program, the um uh the strife in the Seattle Seahawk locker room.
There was a story by uh what's his name?
Mike Freeman, uh Bleacher report.
This is this is one of the many leftist sports writers that spread lies about me, by the way, during that ill-fated Rams business that supposedly I missed slavery, and that I thought slavery was good and the economy has never been the same since.
And totally fabricated, made up quotes by uh a bunch of left, and they just ran these things as though they were legitimate, never called, never check it out.
There were a bunch of them, Brian Burwell, who has since passed away.
I mean, the hate on the on the left here is just incredible.
They don't care to get anything right or wrong.
They just instinctively believe some of the most insane lunatic assertions made about conservatives when it is they who harbor the bigotry, when it's they who harbor the hate.
Anyway, this Mike Freeman guy wrote that um uh he had sources inside the Seattle locker room that Russell Wilson is out there doing all this PR, doing all these PSAs and all this charity work and getting all this great puff piece media.
All the while he's sold out.
He's too close to management.
He's not black enough and so forth.
And Percy Harvin just resented the hell out of all of it and wanted out of there, so they had to get rid of Harvin because they wanted to protect Wilson.
He's the future Harvin, I couldn't care less about.
They said Harvin was going to blow up.
Harvin was close to Marshawn Lynch, so they get Harvin out of there.
So these guys in the leftist media remember that, I'm sure, and somebody in the Seattle locker room tells them, yeah, you know why Lynch didn't get the ball.
Yeah, Seattle doesn't want that kind of black guy being the star of the game.
They don't want him being the MVP.
They want their clean-cut, wholesome black guy, who they originally thought it was biracial to explain his less than dark status.
Leftist reporters believe this.
It is absolutely said they're the ones that pollute our culture with these kinds of theories.
They're the ones that pollute our culture reporting this kind of dribble.
Uh, and then they drive on by, they create this mess, they drive on by down to the next event, and they start blowing it up too.
Hence the name drive-bys, and they're everywhere.
They're in sports, they're in news.
And another example of this, by the way, is this vaccination business.
Out of the clear blue of the Western sky, all of a sudden.
Literally out of the blue, there is a massive controversy in the Republican Party over vaccinations necessary for our kids for an outbreak of measles.
And we're being told that the Republicans oppose mandatory vaccines, and the Republicans don't want government to be involved in this, and the Republicans therefore against public health.
And of course, it's just like the Republicans and the war on women with that question, Stephanopoulos kept ridiculously asking Mitt Romney, do you support contraception?
It wasn't even an issue.
The only reason this is an issue.
I'm by the way, I'm telling you, I have to I I resent having to come here and talk about this because it makes it look like I'm falling for the trick.
And it's nothing more than a leftist Democrat trick, and what they're trying to do here is distract everybody from the abomination that is the Obama administration.
They're distracting everybody from stupid, ridiculous budget that's done on a rival.
They're trying to distract everybody from Obamacare and how that's literally gonna hurt people.
I mean, Obamacare and what's coming with that when people buy all their taxes and the new tax increases and all of the exemptions Obama is granting to cushion that blow.
The things that are happening because of Obama's policies are all trying to be covered up and hidden and distracted from with this silly vaccination thing.
If we need to vaccinate our kids today, there's one reason for it.
Barack Obama and the Democrat Party and open borders.
And that's something that nobody's talking about in this whole debate.
No, the whole debate somehow is now once again focused on what a bunch of Neanderthals, the Republican presidential candidates are.
Meanwhile, if you do some research, you find out it was both Obama and Hillary who were out there spreading this idea that certain vaccines might lead to autism, and they were cautioning against mass vaccine.
They're the ones doing it.
They're the ones that are on record as being opposed to mass vaccines whenever government says it must happen.
Hillary has been on both sides because she and her husband at the same time have been on the on the financial good side of mass vaccine manufacturer and sale and import.
What a convoluted mess.
This is, folks, this is exactly what I mean.
I get up every day, I'm minding my own business, and I get here and I find out how people on the left are trying to destroy traditions, institutions, and people.
And so we have to come in here and react to the absolute crap these people dump on our culture and dump in our politics and dump in our society.
And so now everybody's running around with the with their heads cut off here, uh, trying to get on this vaccination debate.
Nobody wants to be seen as insensitive to our kids.
Oh no.
And nobody wants to be seen as heartless and cold to our kids.
We've got kids as a measles out there.
We conquered that freaking disease, and in case anybody's forgotten, we conquered measles.
But the kids that Obama has let flood the country via the southern border were not vaccinated against anything.
And Obama's demanding that they be populated in schools and communities, neighborhoods all over the country.
They don't have to be vaccinated before coming into the country.
They don't have to be really medically checked after getting into the country because they're here as future voters, and anything gets in the way of that's going to be shut aside.
So the Democrats are literally trying to create the new war on campaign issue.
This is simply a uh a retread, if you will, or a repositioning of the war on women.
I just this is there's a there's a piece at the Federalists here called the insane vaccine debate.
We've had mandatory vaccine policies in America since before the emancipation proclamation.
Why are they controversial now?
It's been dominant.
Why exactly?
Why are they controversial now?
Well, one of the reasons they're controversial.
Uh and make no mistake that this is the new birth control pill question for the GOP.
That's exactly what this is.
This is the this is this is no different than when George Stephanopoulos asked Romney.
So, how do you feel about contraception?
You think government ought to mandate contraception states ought to be involved in continent and Romney had no idea.
Nobody was even talking about it.
What the hell are you talking about, George?
I don't know.
And Romney should have just said, no, I'm not answering the question.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Move on.
But he answered it.
All he had, it didn't matter what he said.
He answered it, bingo.
Republican candidate speaks out on contraception.
Here comes war on women.
And you know how that went.
So we now inject uh a little out of nowhere.
Literally out of nowhere.
We throw an issue into the Republican primary debate.
And the only reason to do this is it hurts Republicans.
This is about destroying Republicans.
It's about Destroying every Republican running for president.
The purpose is to falsely position political enemies, political enemies of the Democrat Party.
They're trying to poison the GOP brand.
At the same time, they're trying to control people.
But make no mistake, this this vaccination debate, as it has reared its head.
This is not about science.
It isn't about medicine.
It's not about informing concerned parents.
It is all about politics.
Just like global warming is all about politics.
If there's an epidemic in this country that is literally hurting people, it is liberalism and the intolerance of people on the left.
It is not measles.
We have a measles outbreak precisely because of the Democrat Party.
We have, and I might add the Republican establishment that joins them and doesn't stop this and doesn't fight back against it and doesn't oppose it.
You open the borders to kids from poor, underprivileged, undereducated South American, Central American countries, who knows what you're going to get.
When you make no effort to find out before they get here, this is what's going to happen.
So we got a measles outbreak.
Somebody probably hoped this would happen, figured it would happen.
It's another opportunity to portray Republicans as a as a as a heartless, cold, insensitive, anti-government, therefore anti-people.
political party.
You know, the irony of this is that if you go to Republican candidate after Republican candidate, you're going to find most of them are probably pro-vaccination.
and There are a lot of GOP voters who aren't, though.
And see, that's the dirty little secret, if I may use that cliche.
There are a lot of Republican voters suspicious of this.
Most of the candidates are for it.
And you remember, you remember all that talk about these vaccines, mandatory vaccines that were causing autism?
Do you remember, by the way, that nobody ever established a firm link between vaccines and autism?
Yet do you know how many people bought that because people are desperately looking for an explanation, and they're desperately looking for a way to make sure their children don't get or don't become autistic.
And if one of the ways to avoid autism is to not get vaccinated, well then guess what I'm not gonna do?
I'm not gonna get vaccinated.
And who was it spreading that dribble around?
That was Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The transcripts of what they said about it right here.
In my formerly nicotine-stained question, heads a Huffing and Puffington Post story.
Obama climbs on the vaccine research bandwagon.
No matter who wins in Pennsylvania today, this is this is uh this is uh this is 2008.
No matter who wins in Pennsylvania today, the next president will support research under the growing evidence of some link between vaccines and autism.
Senator McCain's already expressed his belief in vaccines and the mercury containing preservative thorosol could be implicated in what he has rightly termed an autism epidemic.
Thank you, Senator McCain.
Just joined the conventional wisdom bandwagon and get right on it.
And then Senator Hillary Clinton, in response to a questionnaire from the autism activist group, HAMP, wrote that she was, quote, committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines, close quote.
When asked if she would support a study of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children, she said, quote, yes.
We don't know what, if any kind of link there is between vaccines and autism, but we should find out, close quote.
Now, yesterday Rally of Pennsylvania Obama had this rather surprising thing to say.
Remember now, this is seven years ago.
We have seen just a skyrocketing autism rate.
Some people are suspicious that it's connected to the vaccines.
This person included, meaning himself.
The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it.
So there you have it, it, says here in the Huffington Public Post, our next president will share the views of such radical fringe crazies.
It's Robert Kennedy Jr.
And uh Bernardine Healy and several researchers at Harvard that we must dig deep looking into vaccines before we universally prescribe them.
Right.
Democrats opposed to universal vaccines might lead to autism.
Now all of a sudden, seven years later, it's those rascally Republicans, those insensitive, compassionless Republicans who don't think you ought to have to put up with vaccinating your kids against measles because of what I mean and out of nowhere.
I I I just I just want to I have not fallen for this.
I am not talking about this as though it's a real issue.
I'm trying to dispel a real issue.
I'm trying to tell you what it's really all about, the next war on, whatever Republicans are conducting.
This is pure politics.
Like everything is with the left.
And if we've got a problem, if we have an outbreak of a disease problem, you can trace it right to the Oval Office.
You can trace it right to the man whose face I'm looking at on television right now, Barack Obama and his open borders, and a hello and welcome and come on in to millions of kids from Central and South American countries, poor and what have you, who are bringing this disease and who knows what others with them.
They are not arriving vaccinated.
I mean, you it's insane.
It literally makes no common sense any of this that's happening.
I gotta take a break, sit tight back at here, folks.
We have Obama, Bluebell, Pennsylvania, April of 2008.
Here's Obama saying what I just quoted him saying uh vaccine science inconclusive.
We have to be very careful about proceeding with universal vaccines.
We've seen just a skyrocketing autism rate.
Right.
Nobody knows exactly why.
There's some people who are suspicious that it's connected to vaccines and triggers.
But this person included.
The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We need to research.
We just can't jump in there and automatically demand everybody get vaccines because there's autism out there.
Not contrast that with seven years later today.
And then on the Today Show today, get this Matt Wower speaking with F. Chuck Todd.
Listen to this.
This is Matt Wower's question.
The liberal New York Times puts it in the article.
The vaccination controversy is a twist on an old problem for the Republican Party.
How to approach matters that have been largely settled among scientists but are not widely accepted by conservatives.
So there you go.
That's the whole thing in a nutshell.
The New York Times and the left want you to believe it's a settled issue.
It's a settled scientific issue.
Vaccines mandatory for everybody.
It must happen.
Only the conservatives disagree because they're a bunch of backward Neanderthals.
And anyway, F. Chuck goes on to talk about how Hillary's response on this back then too was condescending and so forth.
So you know, they're getting to play both sides of the fence.
Tom in South Bend, Indiana.
Hey, Tom, great to have you on the program.
Hello, sir.
Megan Dinnes from Northern Indiana, Rush.
Thank you.
Hey, when Russell Wilson threw that interception, um, the the Patriots player wasn't in the end zone, so he was pushed down at the one-yard line.
Then the Seahawks had the opportunity to likely get a safety on the next play.
They'd get the ball back with about 20 seconds left on a punt from the 20-yard line.
They still had one timeout left, which would give them the chance to throw a bomb or and then call the timeout and go for the game-winning field goal because they were only down by four points, and that would be a five-point difference.
So I just wanted to know your opinion on um I mean, they they messed it up because they jumped off sides in a super aggressive play, and then they got it.
Well, and that in that I thought you had a different question about player discipline, which I which I'm gonna answer anyway.
In that particular play, I think the Seahawks cadence drew Seattle offside.
I I think that was good play calling by uh Cadence by Brady.
I mean, they were so eager to get in there and get a safety That they just jumped it, and I think I think uh, you know, calling signals, Brady changed his cadence and got him.
Now that but that's not the kind of discipline I thought you were gonna ask about.
You you do the uh I because I think there is so much well, there's such a lack of discipline by players in this league.
Major League Baseball, too.
It makes me wonder what coaches and managers are doing.
And now I have to explain that at another point because I've sadly run out of busy broadcast.
I'll be right back after this.
Don't go away.
Okay, I'll explain uh what I thought the caller was gonna do.
This is not a criticism of the caller, didn't have enough info, but the lack of player discipline.
And then I've been wondering about that in a lot of sports, they'll explain that.
But Rush Limbaugh rallies behind Scott Walker, the political is worried, and it looks like the Republican establishment might be as well.
