Time Text
Well, well, well, well, well, well, Senate Democrats say they are in an impasse over the funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
This is about Obama's executive immigration.
And the uh there are eight Democrats, and we're not completely happy with this.
And as best I've been able to figure out what this is about, because it's happening during the heat of the moment here during the busy broadcast time.
Uh it's it's it's about who's going to vote first on this thing so Democrats can avoid going on record first in whatever the end result of this is.
So there's a game of cat and mouse, chicken and the egg being played right now between uh Mitch McConnell and some Democrats of the Senate Committee on this.
Anyway, greetings, my friends, welcome back.
Great to have you.
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program and email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Chris Steyerwald of Fox News has some of the detail after maintaining a week's long filibuster of a Republican bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but roll back Obama's executive actions granting amnesty.
And a roll back his work permits for millions of illegal immigrants, Senate Democrats is starting to splinter.
Had you heard this, Nerdley?
Yeah, it's interesting.
Senate Democrats all bluster all this all until the moment of truth.
They realize what happened in the last election.
They realize the American people do not want amnesty.
They do not want executive amnesty, but they've got to show their support for the president.
But now it's nutcracking time, and they're not so sure that they want to go all the way to the wall on this.
Mitch McConnell is uh is splitting the bill, trying to make the Democrats vote first on immigration so that they will go on the record as favoring amnesty.
That's what McConnell wants them to commit to.
Which is the only natural and honest thing for them to do because that's who they are.
But they don't want to go on record as being first to support this.
They want to make it look like they're tagging along.
Rather than being the leaders in this effort for executive amnesty.
By the way, this little reference here, rolling back Obama's executive actions granting amnesty and work permits, do you realize the number of work permits Obama's already granted is in the like eight or nine million?
He's already, I mean, he's already it it de facto amnesty already.
Oh, way exceeded what Congress authorized, way, I mean, over-exceeded what Congress authorized.
But when he's granted these irrevocable, or irrevocable if you're a lawyer, if he's granted these irrevocable, irrevocable for those of you in Rio Linda, work permits, that's de facto amnesty as it is.
Unable to break, the Democrat logjam, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would offer a standalone bill to block Obama's amnesty gambit before resuming the funding fight.
Appearing on Fox and Friends this morning, Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat West Virginia, said he would vote to prevent the president from his executive action and suggested there might be five other Democrats necessary to advance the legislation.
There might be.
McConnell said in a floor speech today, well, this bill removes those excuses.
It sets up a simple political equation.
or stand in defense of extreme overreach or stand with constituents in support of shared democratic values.
Now, Obama would almost certainly veto the bill.
That's the objective.
Make him veto it.
It's always been the objective.
Why the cowardice of it?
Make him veto it.
If we're talking about the funding of the Department of Homeland Security, look what the Democrats at Obama are trying to do here In the midst of all of this going on with ISIS, the Democrats are trying to make it look with the assistance of the media like the Republicans don't care about terrorism.
Because the Republicans aren't going to fund DHS because of Obama's amnesty.
And since the Republicans aren't going to fund DHS, Homeland Security, the Republicans don't care if terrorists go crazy in America.
That's what Obama's trying to pull off here.
But it's the Democrats who are preventing the funding of Department of Homeland Security.
Now it's taken guts for the Republicans to get here.
They haven't caved yet.
I thought they would have by now.
But the objective all along is to expose who really is stopping the funding of DHS, and that's Obama, either with his veto or the Democrats with their refusal to vote for it in the Senate.
The Republicans have a bill out of the House.
They've any number of ways.
They've tried to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but they've also put in it we are not going to fund the parts of DHS that enable Obama to break law.
And grant blanket amnesty via executive order to who knows however many millions of illegals.
We're not gonna.
So take your pick.
Either fund Department of Homeland Security with the exemption we're not going to pay for breaking a law, or the opposite.
And the Democrats are showing signs of wouldn't say revolting, but maybe some splintering going on here, which I always thought would happen as we got to the moment of truth, because they're all bluster on this stuff until it's time to go on the record.
Did you see Dingy Harry show up?
Yeah, looking like a blues brother.
What is that?
Oh, he had eye surgeries when he was beat up.
He got beat up by the exercise machine, I remember that.
So he said eye surgery.
Yeah, he had to get beat up by the eye by the exercise machines.
Yeah, he looks like a blues brothers out there.
I'm a soul man.
While Obama would almost certainly veto the bill, significant Democrat objections to his policies combined with a federal court ruling against the regime on the actions could start to shift the debate.
This little court decision in Texas, this little bitty gnat of a federal judge, has just thrown the biggest speck of sand in the gears here that you could possibly imagine, and just sent the chill of fear up the spines of these Democrats.
It's nice to see.
Anyway, that's that's where we stand on that now.
And the point is, it's not the slam dunk that everybody led us to believe it was going to be.
And it's, yeah, there's reason for a small bit of optimism.
Here, let's see.
I want to do this.
I just did that story.
As you know, ladies and gentlemen, I have been warning several times recently of the dangers of what is being taught on college campus.
Young skulls full of mush at 20 grand a semester go up and have all of this drivel, this bilge, this waste pumped into their minds as so-called education.
And they end up being radicalized and believing some of the craziest, stupidest stuff.
Thank you.
A textbook used for an activism class at the University of Michigan teaches capitalism should be overthrown.
The textbook claims capitalism means waste, poverty, ecological degradation, dispossession, inequality, exploitation, imperialism, war, and violence.
The textbook is called Beautiful Trouble, a toolbox for revolution.
It is assigned as mandatory reading for organizational studies 203 activism.
This is a class at the public University of Michigan that pledges to teach students about the struggles of movements in the past, as well as hands-on engagement with the struggles of today.
The course is unbiased on paper with its description stating neither this course nor its instructional staff embraces or rejects any ideology movement or political project.
We will not preach social change from any particular point of view, which is the biggest crock since net neutrality to come down the pike today.
But the book blames the global slump we are living through on capitalism, adding that it is the predictable manifestation of a crisis prone economic system rooted in production for profit rather than for human need.
For the sake of human development and ecological sanity, it needs to be overthrown.
But we're not ideological, they say.
And we're not coming at this from any particular ideological point of view.
And we're not coming at this from any bias.
It's just that capitalism sucks and we need to get rid of it.
We've got to get rid of this notion that we produce for profit rather than produce for human need.
But that's exactly what capitalism does.
Capitalism is about markets.
Markets work.
Capitalism produces not just for human need, it produces for human want.
Socialism doesn't produce anything but misery and inequality, false promise, unhappiness, and economic stagnation.
Because there isn't any production.
What do we get to define as human need?
See, that's that's one of the keys.
These people set themselves up as the gurus.
And they're going to define what needs to be produced based on human need.
What if they thought, you know what?
You don't need a cell phone.
The cell phone is causing all kinds of social problems.
People are not talking to each other in person anymore.
We're clogging our air with dangerous radio waves, might be causing cancer in our brains.
We must stop cell phone production.
For the people.
Who gets to decide what is produced for human need?
These good, well-intentioned, busybody, nanny state type liberals.
Who obviously know best.
Anyway, textbook, class, activism, overthrow capitalism, University of Michigan.
But that's not all.
From our buddies at campus reform, students at an all-women's scruel are seeking funding for their very own BDSM club.
More than 60 Mount Holyoke College students, RSVP'd, to the first meeting of the club which calls itself the control tower.
Do you know what a BDSM club is?
You don't?
Now I didn't think Brian would know, and I didn't think Dawn would know.
But I surely thought you would know, snurdly.
And what's going to probably happen is Dawn probably does know, while you and Brian don't.
Again, students at an all-women's college, Mount Holyoke, are seeking demanding money for their very own on-campus BDM Club.
BDSM Club.
It stands for this.
Bondage, dominance, sadism, and masochism.
That is BDSM.
They say that it constitutes a variety of sexual practices that have risen in popularity because of the release of the movie, Fifty Shades of Gray.
And because these female students at Mount Holyoke want to remain on the cutting edge.
They need money for their own bondage dominant sadism masochism club.
What do you mean we've come full circle?
That's right.
Well, okay, in that sense, yes, we've come.
I thought you meant society.
Yeah, the feminazis have come full circle because now, 50, 60 years after the beginning of the modern era of feminism, they are asking for money for their own bondage dominant statism and masochism club on campus at Mount Holyoke.
Club members plan to use the club to educate other Mount Holyoke College students about bondage dominance, sadism and masochism practices, and the safety procedures in all of them.
Caden Bush, a sophomore at Mount Holyoke and a psychology and gender studies student, founded the club and told Mount Holyoke News in an interview that bondage, dominance, sadism, and masochism is a huge topic of passion for her.
Gender studies.
They had me at gender studies when I saw that was part of this, that's all I needed to know.
Well, I know this could cause a reversal in the trend of men leaving college.
It could cause an uptick in men re-enrolling.
Following the release of the movie, Fifty Shades of Gray, club organizers pointed out the need for discussion about bondage dominance, sadism, and masochism topics.
Especially with Fifty Shades of Gray coming out, it's important for a group like this to meet, said Senior Jessica Avery.
There needs to be positive dialogues around consent, safety with a partner, proper usage of toys, and basic knowledge of what bondage dominance, sadism, and masochism kink is outside of the false Hollywood fancy.
Yes, they wanted a college club and they want outside funding for it.
They're looking for donations.
What do you bet the donors are all male?
I I wait a minute.
That's not all.
That's not, that's just half of it.
Hang on.
I've got one more from college.
No, and I'll tell you what, I'm about to call them out on the air, too.
That's something I never do.
But I'm this close to doing it.
Ah, these guys that make this app, and it's not updating properly, and everybody in their uncle is telling them it's not updating properly, and they write back they can't duplicate the problem, which is BS.
They're lying to us.
I'm about to call them out.
It won't matter, they're in Yugoslavia somewhere.
But it still ticks me off.
If you're not going to upgrade the app, just tell me.
Don't act like it's my problem, it doesn't work.
Anyway, back to BDSM.
This story that I just shared with you goes on to say that Harvard already has their BDSM club, as well as um Penn State.
Penn State already has a BDSM club.
Bondage.
Sadomasochism dominance.
Yes, sir, now there's this.
UK Daily Mail Online.
Mohammed Hossein, 19 College student charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman after he allegedly attempted to recreate Fifty Shades of Gray.
He accused of tying up his victim, fellow student, whipping and punching her before raping her in his dorm at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
The engineering student has admitted to police that he assaulted the woman, but he explained to them that it was because they were reenacting scenes from Fifty Shades of Gray.
Mr. Hossein, a college freshman and student ambassador to the Alumni Association and the alleged victim went to his room on Saturday afternoon after watching the movie.
Now why haven't we heard about this as college rape?
It's college rape, and the feminism intelligence is rape culture?
How come you haven't heard about this?
You hadn't heard about this, right?
How come you haven't?
You know.
Well, well, what that's two things.
Two things it's because the left won't go up 50 shades of grave.
It's also this guy's not a member of fraternity.
This guy's not a member of fraternity, and what's Mohammed Hussein.
So the news kind of just floats out there in like a never ether.
Different kind of extremist that the left hasn't fully categorized.
Jeff and McComb, Michigan.
I may not be able to get you all in.
We'll hold you through the break if necessary.
How are you, sir?
Hey, good afternoon, Rush.
I know we're talking about net neutrality today, but anything you want.
That's fine.
Thank you, Rush.
Uh, the details of what John Kerry has agreed to with the Iranian negotiating team are being reported in the Middle East.
It's difficult to find them in English, and I'd like to like to very briefly mention them.
Uh the Obama administration is agreeing to um 6,500 spinning centrifuges to enrich uranium for Iran, 10,000 centrifuges at the 10 year mark.
There's nothing at all in the agreement with respect to the four-go underground site or their plutonium reactor.
Let me sum this up for you, because I we talked about this yesterday.
The deal that Kerry has negotiated essentially lets Iran develop their nuclear weapon over the next ten years.
And he was providing details of the agreement here.
Now hang on here, Jeff.
I didn't mean to steal your thunder, but I wanted to focus.
I'll come back after the break.
Don't go away.
Hey, back to Jeff in Macomb, Michigan.
So yeah, uh, Kerry has basically set him up.
Obama set him up for a the acquisition if they can pull it off of a nuclear weapon in ten years.
Exactly.
And I Russia, just a very brief point that I want to make.
It's a very real threat.
And we need to fight, and we need to fight hard against it.
I mean, on control of Damascus, Baghdad, Southern Lebanon just took over uh Yemen by proxy, and um we need to fight hard against this.
Do you believe militant Islamists when they make threats?
Yes, sir.
So you believe that they they vowed, um, just the most recent was Mahmoud Achmanini Zod, vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
Do you take them seriously?
One 110% accurately.
I'm sorry.
So do I. On Iranian TV, they have videos of Tel Aviv, and they have rockets, Iranian rockets blowing up Tel Aviv.
That's on Iranian TV.
There is Iranian Iranians are on the border with Israel in the Golan.
There is an Iranian general recently killed.
Um Hezbollah has established a new front on the Syrian Golan.
They're on both Lebanon and the Syrian Golan to Israel.
Uh it is a very real threat.
Yeah, I um I'm at a loss here.
Other than, well, actually, I'm not at a loss.
I know exactly.
Folks, I know exactly why they're doing this.
It doesn't make any sense.
I'm just saying, I know exactly why they're doing it.
You know what Obama's worldview is.
There's no such thing as American exceptionalism.
We're not special, except in our own minds.
Just as every other country thinks it's special in its own mind.
But there's nothing essentially about us better than anybody else.
That's a myth.
And the idea that we get to determine which nations get nuclear weapons, who the hell are we?
We don't have that right.
And we never have had, as far as Obama's concerned.
That's an example of our imperialism.
Us telling the Iranians, they're just good Muslims.
They can't have their own bomb?
What right do we have?
That's his worldview on this.
And John Kerry's and every other one of them.
Oh, by the way, including Eric Holder, this is not gonna sit well.
The Justice Department announced today they are not going to bring criminal charges against the white Hispanic George Zimmerman in the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin.
Barack Obama's would-be imaginary son.
So, no charges against the Ferguson cops, no charges against the white Hispanic George Zimmerman.
How many do you think in the Sharpton and Jackson world have believed that the Justice Department is where everything was gonna be made fine and dandy?
Why isn't Holder gonna pursue George Zimmerman?
That's right.
That's right.
He never had any evidence.
They never had a case.
They never had a case despite NBC's best efforts doctoring the 9-11 tape, despite the drive-by media, they never had a case.
Just like they never had a case in Ferguson.
And now with Project Veritas, you heard about that, O'Keefe.
He had this secret video taken with the daughter of Eric Gardner, who died on the way to the hospital.
He's selling those Lucy cigarettes.
He had a heart attack.
It was not a chokehold that killed him anyway.
And then this daughter said that the Sharpton organization is all about the money.
They're just shaking people down.
They admitted it, got it on tape.
And O'Keefe said, I don't know that I'm gonna survive with my life after this video gets out.
Because he just blew them up.
Now everybody knows this, but nobody has ever heard anybody in the Sharpton or Jackson camp admit it.
But everybody, no, the Justice Brothers is a shakedown operation.
And now you realize how many of the civil rights community has invested so much hope that Holder would take care of Zimmerman and Holder would take care of the Ferguson cops, and now zero on both.
Now they're gonna Holder is gonna screw up the Ferguson police department, but the cop is not gonna be charged.
The cop that killed the gentle giant who was contemplating his first year at college while walking down the middle of the street smoking some stolen cigars, not gonna be charged.
But you know how many people hoped he would be?
You know how many people hoped that Zimmerman would finally go to jail for this?
They're going to depend on Holden to do it.
I'm just surprised they announced this on a Tuesday and I'll wait for a Friday document dump to do this.
Well, I think the Fergus momentum's lost.
You know, there's another story.
Where do I have this?
Let me find this story.
I find this story because...
Oh Kerry named special envoy for LGBT rights.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam, has selected an openly gay career foreign service officer to serve as a U.S. heart and conscience in promoting equality for lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people in countries where they are discriminated against.
Carrie announced yesterday that Randy Berry, currently the consul general in Amsterdam, would be the first special envoy for LGBT rights.
Well, I thought, because here you carry says defending and promoting the human rights of lesbian gay, bisexual, and transgender persons is at the core of our commitment to advancing human rights globally.
The heart and conscience of our diploma.
I thought it was global warming.
But I guess today it's LGBT issues.
So done that.
Democrat representative, an Oregon Democrat believes the fight for amnesty for illegal immigrants is the civil rights battle for millennials that will decide who controls the country for the next 30 years.
This is Representative Kurt Schrader, Democrat Oregon.
He said at an immigration day action event this weekend, immigration reform is the biggest issue of the 21st century.
It's gonna decide who's in charge of this country for the next 20 or 30 years.
Now, this is no big news.
What's big about this is a Democrat has let the cat slip out of the bag.
Of course, this is what amnesty is all about.
Continuing to populate a never-ending in perpetuity, underclass in America.
Voting for Democrats.
This Democrat, Kurt Schrader, has just admitted what amnesty's all about.
Making sure the Democrats are in power for 30 years.
Why am I strong?
Because I know I've been telling people for I don't know how many years you know it as well as I do, that's what this is all about.
But no Democrats ever admitted it.
They've always said it's about human rights or it's about the economy.
It's about creating jobs, it's about economic growth, it's all this other rot-gut drivel.
And the Chamber of Commerce has said the same thing.
But it's not about any of that.
It's about creating voters, underclass, undereducated, ill-skilled, and low-income people that are gonna always be subservient and loyal to the Democrat Party.
Because the Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass.
They need as many people in poverty as they can get.
And to the extent that people in this country escape poverty, the economic opportunity when Democrats are not in the White House, that pool of the underclass gets smaller and smaller.
Plus the Democrats are aborting a good percentage of their future voter population, so that's why they need amnesty.
And this guy has just openly admitted it.
That's something called an immigration day action event.
The single biggest issue for millennials in this century, because it's about who is going to control the country for the next 30 years.
How many how many uh would you think millennials are young people who are all for amnesty because they think it's a human rights issue?
How many of them do you think would be shocked to hear this?
I always imagine this.
I imagine every day a group of millennials tuning in for first, second, third time water hearing me.
They arrive to the program with a preconceived misconception about me based on what they've heard about me in the media.
And they nevertheless they find the program and they think I'm full of it and they hate me and they're racist, sex is big and homophobe, and they think all of you are too, and all that.
And all of a sudden, this subject comes up, and I thoroughly dispel the idea that illegal immigration and amnesty is a human rights issue, that all it is is a Democrat Party scheme to control the country for 30 years.
I wonder what they how they react to that.
When they when they hear somebody say it has nothing to do with human rights, there's nothing to do with jobs, nothing to do with expanding our economy, nothing to do with any of the dribble that's used to sell it.
That it's all about control of the country for the next 30 years.
I wonder what their reaction to it is.
Maybe someday I'll know.
And it probably depends whether I yell or don't.
Because I yell I scare off the 24, 25-year-old women.
So I've been told.
The men, I think, can probably take it, but I wouldn't make bets on that either, now that I think about it.
Welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge.
We have somebody from the bondage community on the phone.
Nikki, somewhere in Wisconsin.
I'm glad you called.
Great to have you with us.
Hello.
Megadeth, Rush.
I've been looking to talk to you for 25 years.
Well, here you are, of course.
Glad you made it through.
Um, yeah, mostly BDSM community and our part of Wisconsin.
We all find uh that whole book and the movie is kind of lame.
It's nothing close to reality.
Because the reality of the whole situation involves a lot of uh hard limits agreed upon beforehand.
And uh that rapist guy, you know, apparently he doesn't understand anything about the community solid.
So you're saying that there's all kinds of Agreement before anything happens in your community, but in that movie, that woman had no clue what was headed her way, and it's not what you guys do, right?
That's what you're saying.
Exactly.
That's why we think the whole book in the movie was just really lame.
You know, there's kind of an agreement that this is the hard limit.
Well, that but somebody trying to say that what happens in this movie is reflective of the BDSM community out there.
Is that why you're uh I mean I never knew that about it.
I just thought it was a book.
It had a guy behave this way, and a woman ultimately went along with it.
I didn't I couldn't finish the book, it got boring to me.
Right.
I mean, this book couldn't compare to my real life, so I I they kind of threw it aside.
But yes, most of us find it very boring.
Well, and I'm good company on this.
Well, I'm I'm happy to uh have you so there's agreement beforehand, and there are rules and uh escape mechanisms, I'm certain, in the way you do things, right?
For example, my mistress and I, we have set limits.
You know, we won't do this, we won't do this, and we won't do this.
What about your wife?
My mistress, same difference.
Oh mistress slash owner.
Oh.
Same same difference.
I like that.
That well, no, I don't like that.
I'm intrigued.
That that's interesting.
Any guy who's married will tell you their wife is their owner.
Mistress slash owner.
Right.
That's where I was missing.
That's what I didn't get.
Well, yes, the uh community as a whole, though, you know, we do have our events where we get together just other people who are into the scene.
And I was just that one recently, this last weekend, and we were all talking about the movie in the book, and we're all going, how lame.
Well, that's kind of because apparently the book is inspiring some I don't know what you call them, copycats.
People are setting up these like this the the the babes at Mount Holyoke are seeking money to set up their own club based on this movie.
They don't want to be left out.
And it sounds like you wouldn't approve of that because what happens in the movie is not BDSM as you know and love it.
You just you know you you learn all kinds of things hosting a program like this, folks, as long as you're open to it.
Appreciate the call out there, Nikki, from somewhere in Wisconsin.
Sadly, we didn't uh get to everything I wanted to get to today, but we very seldom actually do.
I had some callers today on net neutrality that I asked them to give us our phone number so we call them tomorrow because I want to get their comments, and I want you to be able to hear my brilliant answers to them, too.
So that's coming up tomorrow.
