It's a thrill and a delight to have you here, Rush Linbohr behind the golden EIV microphone, as always.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program's 800 282-2882 and the email address lrushwo at EIB net.com.
Let me straighten something up here.
I need you to go out and find audio sound by 16 and 17 is uh as well.
Last week uh last week we kind of dumped on the Senate Republicans here over the lack of effort on their part to support the House in its effort to defund the Department of Homeland Security, uh the the areas of that department necessary to fund Obamacare's executive amnesty.
The House has passed a bill, they've sent it over to the Senate, and the Senate Republicans say, Well, we can't get enough Democrats to join us, and uh we can't pass the bill as it exists, we've got to send it back to the House.
At which point Boehner said, No, no, no, no.
We have done our job here, you do yours.
And that that began a debate.
Does Mitch McConnell really want to do this?
Does he really want to be the Senate Republican leader?
Because the House did send them a bill that would defund the Department of Homeland Security areas that necessary to fund uh pay for Obama's implementation of executive amnesty.
And what has happened here is Boehner went on the uh on the Fox News Sunday yesterday to to explain this, and let's just get to the sound bites real quick.
Chris Wallace interviewed him, and he said, Can you promise the American people with the terror threat only growing that you are not going to allow funding for the Department of Homeland Security to run out?
See, this before you hit that button here, we're back to the same old ball game here.
Republicans equal government shutdown.
This is not a government shutdown.
It's not a shutdown of the full Department of Homeland Security.
It's simply a defunding of the small element of it that would fund Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty.
It would have no impact on terrorism.
It would have no impact on hurting the Department of Homeland Security's fight against terrorism, which, by the way, there isn't any, according to Obama.
So what's the big deal?
There isn't any terrorism, it's just a bunch of random people out there beheading others.
He's just like street criminals.
Just random.
But nevertheless, the House has passed a bill that would defund a small portion of the Department of Homeland Security.
The Senate claims that they can't get enough Democrats to support them, and therefore they can't get 60 votes.
They can't get the cloture.
And so this the House has to come back with a different bill that would get Democrat support.
The only bill that would do that would be to do nothing.
And let Obama get his amnesty paid for.
So here's Boehner answering Chris Wallace's question again.
Can you promise the American people, with the terror threat only growing out there, that you are not going to allow funding for the Department of Homeland Security to run out?
The House has done its job under the Constitution.
It's time for the Senate to do their job.
Listen, I've got a tough job here.
So is Senator McConnell.
But Senate Democrats are the ones standing in the way.
They're the ones jeopardizing funding.
Why don't they get on the bill and offer an amendment?
Offer their ideas.
Let's see what the Senate can do.
And what if the Department of Homeland Security funding runs out?
Well, then Senate Democrats should be to blame.
Very simply.
And you're prepared to let that happen.
Certainly.
The House is active.
We've done our job.
Well, we'll see.
I mean, we've heard this before, and at the last moment, the Republicans don't want to deal with the media cacophony that they have made the country more dangerous, placed it at greater risk because they have set down.
Nobody's talking.
I don't know how we ever get ahead of this.
We can't even get an honest portrayal of what this is about.
Nobody wants to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.
On the other hand, the Department of Homeland Security has plenty of money if it doesn't get any for a couple of months.
There isn't a single government agency that can't Function.
There's more money in this federal government.
There's more money allocated than these people can possibly spend.
They have to concoct asinine ways to spend it, like advertising for new food stamp users.
I said I've got a point.
I'm just so righteously indignant and offended at the very idea that our government could ever run out of money when we've got a printing press for crying out loud.
Printed three and a half trillion dollars over seven years and flooded Wall Street with it.
This is this is just, it's it's the same old gotcha business.
The Republicans being blamed for it.
What we have here is a proposition on the table.
What Boehner's talking about.
We have a proposition on the table to defund a tiny portion of the Department of Homeland Security.
Democrats are opposed.
Media running around claiming Republicans are shutting down Department of Homeland Security.
Boehner said, and he's right, it's a Democrats.
We passed a bill that funds the Department of Homeland.
See, here's what happens.
This is an important point that I neglected to mention.
The whole department is funded in this bill, but if the Democrats do not agree to limit the funding for these small areas, and the whole department does go without money for a while.
Additional funding.
But even then there's no shutdown.
The Department of Homeland Security does not close down.
The workers do not go home, and they don't come back for their Thanksgiving Turkey next December.
There is no shutdown being contemplated here.
But Boehner's right, and that is that if the money is shut off, it's the Democrats that are doing it.
And the Republicans are faced with the same old question.
Do they want to rely on the media to report that aspect of the story?
And the Republican view is the media will not report that aspect of the story, that the media will continue to blame the Republicans for it.
In fact, here's a story in The Hill.com headline is, and this from the Let's Cave Chorus in the Senate.
That's the name we've given the Republicans, the Let's Cave Chorus.
Republicans are getting pummeled in the messaging war is amid an escalating standoff over Homeland Security funding.
In interviews with the Hill.com.
Centrist, i.e., liberal Republicans, are conceding that their party, not the Democrats, will be blamed if the Department of Homeland Security shuts down at the end of the month.
If that were to happen, it would echo the Ted Cruz-led government shutdown of 2013 and the Newt Gingrich led shutdown.
No, it wouldn't.
This is all lies.
This is totally made up and concocted.
If there is a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, there are 230,000 employees there.
If there is this so-called shutdown, it means that 30,000 will stay home.
200,000 of the 230,000 employees will still go to work.
There is no shutdown.
And yet, here's the Hill.com claiming no difference at what Ted Cruz wanted to do last December, no different at what Newt Gingrich did in 1995.
At some point, this cycle is going to have to be broken.
And they're never going to break it by caving to it.
They are never going to break this cycle by caving to it.
At some point, this blackmail has got to be stopped.
And blackmail is what this is.
The media and the Democrats threatening the Republic.
If you don't pass this bill the way we want, we're going to blame you for the shutdown of the department or the shutdown of the government.
That's blackmail.
And at some point, this has got to be shut down.
This whole tactic and this technique has got to be stopped.
And frankly, I'm a little thin on patience for people that want to say, well, good, we can't rush because you know what the media will say about us.
Look, I know I'm not in politics, but if if if that were my attitude here, I would have closed the doors on the EIB network in 1992.
If I would have said, my God, I can't get a fair shake for what the media is going to do.
I'm going to have to tailor what I do to what they're going to The EIB network would have shut down.
Now I know this isn't politics.
I've made the fact that I'm aware of the difference.
I've made that clear over the years.
Meaning I'm not equating how I do things here with their business in elective politics.
But I do recognize blackmail when I see it.
And blackmail is blackmail.
And if you keep paying it, the blackmailer is going to keep demanding it.
And it's gotten to the point this is nothing more than media Democrat Party blackmail.
It's either the government shutdown, which is the biggie, or it's the war on women, or some and every damn one of these blackmail items is designed to get the Republican Party to cave on what it traditionally has believed.
It's designed to get the Republican Party to cave to the Democrat wishes of the day, the president's wishes of the day, and they do, rather than stand up to it.
And they tell us we'll get them the next time.
We'll get them the next time the budget comes up.
We're gonna really soak them, and it never happens.
The blackmail continues to be paid.
So that's why credit to Boehner for at least going on Fox News yesterday, Fox News Sunday, and explaining it isn't us.
The Democrats are the people standing in the way of funding the Department of Homeland Security.
And by the way, why shouldn't they have to be responsible for this?
There is a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The Democrats are the ones that won't support it.
Why can't that just be reported straight up and down?
Of course it never will be because the media is the media being who they are, what they are, and how they do things.
But that doesn't mean you still can't get that story out.
Here's the next Boehner sound by Chris Wallace said when you when you talk with Ron Dermer about inviting Netanyahu, you told him specifically not to tell the White House.
Why would you do that, sir?
Because I wanted to make sure that uh there was no interference.
There's no secret here in Washington about the animosity uh that uh this White House has for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Uh I I frankly didn't want them getting in the way and quashing uh what I thought was a real opportunity.
He didn't tell a White House he was inviting Netanyahu because he knew the White House would scuttle it or corrupt it or poison it somehow.
And he wants Netanyahu to speak.
You know why?
It's all about a nuclear Iran.
It's all about a nuclear Iran, and Netanyahu seems to be the only world leader willing to speak up forcefully against that.
The president of the United States will not.
So if we have to import a leader to speak before the U.S. Congress and on American soil about it, I guess that's what we have to do.
One of the things to observe here is that the Democrats in the Senate refusing to sign this bill or to vote for it, refusing to vote for the uh Department of Homeland Security funding bill.
I mean, you could say, and you can say it's pretty accurately that the Democrats are willing to put our country at risk in order to preserve the opportunity for Obama to give illegal aliens work permits and social security numbers and voter registration cards.
That's what this all adds up to.
The Democrats have two options protect the country against terrorism or allow illegal aliens into the country with work cards and voter registration cards, and guess which one they're choosing.
Maintain the option for Obama to grant amnesty, and all that that means.
That's the option they're choosing.
And therefore putting the country at greater risk.
And I say that with a caveat, because I'm not even sure that we need the Department of Homeland.
We didn't even have the Department of Homeland Security until 9-11.
And we got a brand new bureaucracy out of that.
And I'm I perfect excuse.
Well, Rush, look what happened.
9-11 happened, and We didn't know it in advance.
That's right.
We got hit.
We've got hit big time.
We need a new agency.
Make sure it doesn't happen again, Rush.
That's why.
And that was the excuse for starting Department of Homeland Security.
And the government grows and grows and grows and grows.
And what do we get?
Little old ladies wanted scanned for bombs and weapons under their skirts.
Next to the incontinence diapers.
But safer.
Eric Middleton, Idaho.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Yeah, hi, Rush.
It's both an honor and uh miracle to speak to you at the same time.
Well, thank you very much.
Appreciate that, sir.
That's a watch.
That's forever.
Yeah, by the grace of God, you came on the radio, and by the grace of God I was able to find you.
And Rush, you've been uh you've been right uh I think a hundred percent of the time on everything that I've listened to, but uh there's one thing I think you're wrong about, I know you're wrong about actually, and that is denying that Brian Williams saw a dead body float down the French quarter.
Because I was that dead body.
I floated down the French quarter and uh went a couple of miles and I was actually resurrected uh through some voodoo and came back to life, and I've been trying to talk get to uh talk to you since then about a couple of issues.
Well, there goes since I've been resurrected.
I just wanted to say that uh So you you you were the dead body floating down the street in the French quarter.
Was the dead body, yes, that Brian Williams saw.
And uh Well, there goes my accuracy rating.
There goes your accuracy rate, and uh, you know, if I sounded still a little nervous, it's waking up to this, you know, voodoo snakes hanging all over me and everything.
But I can imagine it's gonna be tough for a dead body to be talked about, much less call and talk about himself.
Like you're doing here.
But uh what I wanted to since I've come back to life, I wanted to call and I finally got through to talk to you a little bit about the grace of God, eh?
By the grace of the grace of God, yeah.
I wanted to talk to you about uh some of this stuff that's been going on for years within uh GOP, and that is the big bonwords and the big money people getting behind wishy-washy candidates and sporting them and the five man people that stayed home last time for Romney and didn't just didn't vote.
So you now wait a minute, wait a minute.
But now that is an interesting way that our dead man spoke here.
He said that the big money donors get behind the wishy washy candidates.
And what I take that to mean is, and I don't think the dead body said something he didn't mean to say.
What he's saying is that a wishy washy candidate is preferred, and they hope and pray the guy get elected because then you have much easier time controlling a wishy-washy guy who owes his election to you rather than somebody with a spine who might stand up to you.
And therefore he is explaining why the big money guys support these wishy-washy guys.
And that is to have total control over them without having to run for office themselves.
I I I that's a that's that's a pretty incisive thought here.
Somebody who Brian Williams saw when he was dead.
Appreciate the uh appreciate the call, uh, Eric.
Jacob in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
It's great to have you next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Mr. Limba.
Thank you for taking my call.
Oh my gosh, I forgot folks, I forgot I didn't see he's eleven years old, and he's a huge Rush Revere fan.
How are you, Eric?
Uh, Jacob.
Um I am great.
Jacob.
And I and I just wanted to wish you a happy president's day.
But I also I also called to ask you a question.
Yeah.
I love your books, especially Rush Revere and the First Patriots.
What I want to know is w what do you think about making them into movies?
We've been thinking about doing that, Jacob.
We have we've been thinking about animation, uh, some kind of cartoon series, uh, full-length movie we're still looking at all of these possibilities I can't I can't tell you uh with certainty that it's going to happen but you can uh be confident that we're looking into it which would you prefer would you rather see movie or like an animated version a cartoon a movie a movie would be
cool.
Movie would be great.
Yeah, well, it would.
It really would.
Like where you just go through the steps on a show where, like, each chapter is, like, a different show and Liberty definitely has to be in it.
He's awesome.
Why?
You just said Rush Revere's your favorite character.
Who needs Liberty?
Well, Liberty is a horse and he can talk and he he can the back I'm just kidding.
Jacob hang on here just a second don't don't don't hang it.
Don't go away Okay we're back now to Jacob in Colorado Springs, Colorado and I wanted you to hold on because I want to ask you a couple things.
You like the first book the best of the three no the second one was really my favorite.
But you want the movie made out of the first one uh yeah.
Okay.
Well any reason why yeah yes because it it's just it has a lot of information and it's really it's fun to watch and and read so if you put it into a movie you could learn while just having fun so in each chapter you think should be a different section of the movie yes.
Well that's a pretty that you know Jacob that's pretty creative thinking for an eleven year old.
I mean you're you have obviously you have a uh an aptitude towards creative production yeah you may not know it but but you do I mean if you have those kinds of thoughts about how this book could be brought to the screen be it movie or TV that's pretty cool Jacob that's really neat that's rad whatever.
Thank you.
You bet.
How do you say it when something's really cool?
What do you call it?
Uh awesome awesome okay which is pretty awesome that you have that idea.
And you like all three you've read all three?
Yeah.
You have.
Okay, well, I'll tell you what I want.
I want to send you the audio versions of all three because you probably don't have those.
And I can send you the – No, I don't.
Yeah, I knew you didn't.
Well, I didn't know, but it was the odds.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
That way you can hear me read the book so you can experience them again in a different way by listening to them.
And that may even give you other production ideas on how to turn them into movies or animated versions or whatever.
what have you so I told I asked Mr. Snerdley to get your address during the break did he get your address yes he did.
Alright cool so you all set up so we'll get that out to you hopefully some other stuff too we'll throw in some uh other surprises in the little goodie package that's coming your way and you hopefully you'll have it this week may I make a comment about President Obama please?
Sure.
I am very worried about where he's taking our country and how he he is spending my future I am worried that he is a coward who isn't leading and destroying terrorists.
I am only 11, but what can I do to change this?
I am not old enough to vote.
So what advice would you give to kids my age?
What you can do right now is exactly what you're doing.
And that is you have these thoughts that have become fears.
And you want to convert, you want to get rid of the fear.
You don't want to be harassed.
be afraid of this stuff so what you're really asking is how can I eliminate the fear?
So how can how can you stop why you're being made afraid be feel afraid here and you you can't look at this singularly you have to look at yourself as one of many millions of eleven year olds out there.
Right.
And most 11-year-olds are not paying attention to the things that you are.
So you're always going to be a step ahead of them.
If you stay on this path, Jacob, you're going to be a step ahead of them.
And one thing that I would warn you about not to take personally, if you stay interested in this and stay informed on it as you get older, you're going to encounter people that are going to be made to feel a little nervous around you because they're not going to know what you know because they haven't taken the time.
They've gotten interested in other things.
And they're going to try to make you think like you're worried about nothing or that you're fretting over nothing and that you ought to just relax and have fun.
Don't let people talk you out of your passions.
Don't let people shame you into thinking that you're doing something that's not good or productive.
You're going to end up being a leader if you stay on this path and if you stay interested in these things and if you stay ahead of the other people that are your age.
You're going to be more informed than they are and thus you're going to be more passionate.
So you're going to have a chance to lead people.
You're going to have a chance as you get older to persuade people if you stay interested in this stuff.
Don't hurry it.
It'll happen.
You'll get old enough sooner than later.
And I know you're going to get impatient.
When I was your age, I wanted to be older.
be patient it'll happen it'll you getting older will happen to you sooner than you realize and I would just stay continuedly focused on this stuff and whoever it is that's helping you to learn I would continue to trust them because as far as I'm concerned they're teaching you right things correct things.
So if it's your if it's your parents or your grandparents or whoever it is I would I would continue to trust them yeah my parent my mom tells me a lot of stuff about the things that are happening on the news and politics and all that stuff like taxes and all that stuff.
So taxes.
You are at 11.
You're interested in taxes.
Yeah, I just think that it's not helping anyone.
And he's just not really his ideas are stirred in the wrong direction is not doing anything about what is happening in America.
Well, a lot of people think of it exactly that way.
And I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong.
You know, I've never had an 11-year-old ask me this kind of advice.
This is a first.
So I'm really ill-equipped.
I mean, I'm answering this off the cuff.
First time I've ever answered, I know it's frustrating.
Jacob, there are people that are 40 years old who call here and ask me what to do.
And they can vote.
They can do a lot more than you can simply because they're older and they're frustrated too.
So you're you're you're not you're not alone in any of this but I just you know people there's a cliche that young people are the future you know when you graduate high school and in college your commencement speaker will tell you how you're the future of the of the country.
In your case it may actually be more relevant and true than otherwise would be because of the things that you are already uh interested in.
You know you're young who knows you what what you're gonna be interested in five years from now but if this stuff, if if current events and the future of the country remain at the top of your list of passions, then I've I'm confident you're going to be way ahead of other people your age in terms of what you know and therefore your opinions that you've formed and uh so don't don't it don't let people intimidate you because of that.
Don't don't let people make fun of you.
Don't let people tell you that you're you're an oddball because you're not interested in the same things they are just don't be talked out of it.
Whatever you're you're you're I think this is great what you're doing and I'm I'm flattered that you like my books and that are part of your thinking here so I just I uh just follow your passions Jacob what whatever they end up being and and continue to listen to the people that you trust right now.
Okay.
All right thank you is that my day thank you.
You made mine too I hope you call back sometime with an easier question.
Okay.
All right.
See you next time, Jacob.
Jacob in Colorado Springs, and we will be back.
Readings and welcome back.
Your guiding light.
Rush Limbaugh.
America's real anchor man, the Doctor of Democracy, and America's Truth Detector, all combined, one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Interesting, uh interesting little audio soundbite here.
This is Friday night Tavis Smiley show on PBS.
Tavis Smiley.
Well, you know, Tavis Smiley works with Cornell West.
Brother Cornell, Brother Cornell, and they're there they they did that national poverty tour.
And I I remember that I uh I gave these guys some kudos for for what they were doing.
I mean actually going out, and I thought what what I've heard about what they were doing, it was positive.
They're mess they were not going out and trying to create dependent people, they were actually trying to reverse it.
And then you know months later, I didn't get to it, though we had a soundbite here, Brother Cornell was on TV uh running me down, but talking about how he still needed solidarity with with Brother Rush, uh, because I forget why.
But anyway, uh I I've never met Cornell.
Uh I just I just know him from his uh his numerous TV appearances.
But he did that tour with Tavis.
And you know, Tavis he's had his moments of opposing Obama.
They have been few and far between, but when he's had them, they've been forceful.
But anyway, that's not you'll hear why I'm playing this.
He had Garrett Morris, who was one of the original cast of Saturday Night Live.
One of the most famous Garrett Morris bits was when they, when Saturday Night Live did a parody on the people who who do sign language for the hearing impaired.
And they did it during a fake, you know, the weekend update, the news.
So they had their anchor, whoever it was, Jane Curtin and Aykroyd reading the news, and Garrett Morris in a little square in a box, lower right-hand corner of the screen, yelled it instead of sign language for the heart of hearing.
That was uproariously funny.
Just yelled it, put his hands together, couple.
What you just heard?
What and it was just rolling the four funny.
Yeah, that's who Garrett Morris is.
And he was on in back in town, I guess, for the big 40th anniversary show last night.
And uh Tavis Smiley interviewed him about it.
But here's how the the whole this is the just a small portion of it.
I really love what you do, man.
Although I mean I agree with you sometimes, all right.
But I like the fact that if a Barack Obama, you're gonna rip him apart.
And if it's Rush Limbaugh, you'll do the same thing.
You don't respect nobody.
This guy will tell you about it.
And I love that.
I love that.
I love you more.
Interesting who old Garrett Morris here puts on the same level as the president of the United States.
That's why I wanted to play the bite.
Because I knew that you, snurdly, would appreciate that.
So here's Garrett Morris, and he could have said, Tavis, you go ripping the president, and I love you for bro.
You live for the president, you're Rush Limbaugh.
It doesn't matter.
You don't care who you're good enough for me.
And one more David Brooks commenting on the on the uh crease in his slacks of Brian Williams.
No, I'm just kidding.
This is on Friday night's uh news hour on PBS.
Judy Woodruff uh asked Brooks, okay.
Look at the Brian Williams question.
I guess I guess what I'm curious to know is, David, does that reflect on everybody in the media?
How does the media come out of this Brian Williams episode?
I personally think the reaction against him is way out of proportion to what he did.
And I think we all have to cultivate a capacity for forgiveness, for rigorous forgiveness to forgive what he didn't.
I I personally hope he continues his job.
Why see this is intellectual speak like I've never heard it.
I think we have to cultivate.
Who the hell cultivates?
Farmers cultivate.
What is it?
We have to cultivate a capacity for forgiveness.
Why can't you just say we need to forgive him?
Or we need to learn how to What is this?
We have to cultivate a capacity.
Do you think he talks that way with his intellectual buddies when they go to where do they go?
The Harvard Club.
Well, they might, actually.
But my point is sports casters.
Like some golfer will walk off of a hole with a par.
And let's just use Tiger since it doesn't happen anymore.
And Tiger Woods authors a par on the tough 17th here and Augustine there, whatever it is.
No, he didn't write a par.
He didn't author a par.
He shot a par.
He got a four.
What is this author to Michael?
Does the sports caster at the end of the day with his buddies when they go eat?
Talk about how Tiger authored a par there and somebody authored a double bogey over there.
They don't talk that way.
But you think Brooks does.
Okay, probably so.
So they do probably sit around, talk about the crease and people slacks, cultivate, but that's only half of it.
Cultivate a capacity for forgiveness, a rigorous forgiveness.
Regular forgiveness, not only is going to be rigorous.
A rigorous forgiveness.
Now, rigor, if you look it up, that's a lot of effort, hard work.
I'd like to see rigorous forgiveness.
I'd like to see what that involves.
That's the I I remember one of Brooks's buddies, I forget who, in talking about how conservatives have better come to grips with the fact that the American people like a big government now.
The whole idea, these new reformic cons, the idea that limited government is something you can win an election on, that's gone, it's passe.
The American people, this is what was said.
The American people want a big government and they want a vigorous executive.
They want a vigorous, active executive.
Now we got rigorous forgiveness to forgive what he did.
Well, Mr. Brooks, you're not going to have a whole lot of trouble because the stories now are starting to pop up about how everybody does it.
Everybody lies, everybody exaggerates.
And here's Tony in Oklahoma City, your next sir in the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Getting back to Governor Walker, and his uh that he doesn't have a college degree, is we ought to look at what uh the college degree uh or the collegiate academia's already given us.
Trillions of dollars in debt.
Got foreign and domestic policies that don't work.
Got a health care law that I mean who can understand it.
I think I think Governor Walker ought to go on the offensive instead of the defensive.
Well, I'm going to be talking to him here in 20 minutes.
I've got an interview with him after this program for the limbaugh letter.
And I'm going to ask him about that.
And you'll be able to see what he says in the next issue of the limbo letter.
Now, on this college education business, I want to be very clear something.
You just made the point here that all these graduates from the Ivy League, what have they done?
They've contributed an $18 trillion national debt and so forth.
And that like Timothy, what was him?
Timothy uh Geithner.
Harvard or Yale or where could not even do his own tax return.
And here he is, the Treasury Secretary.
And he has degrees in finance from Ivy League schools, and couldn't do his own and cheated on his own taxes because he said he didn't know how to do them.
That was his excuse anyway.
It's an attitude that's cultivated, not just what's taught.
