Time Text
Okay, let's see.
We're at 550K when a show started with uh 690.
697 is holy cow, we wanted to get to 750.
So we're 53,000.
We've raised almost 150 grand just since the show started for memories pizza.
You people are great.
I have to tell you.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, the rebob open line Friday, final big hour of the busy broadcast week, 800-282-2882.
If you'd like to be on the program in the email address, Lrushbo at EIB net.com.
So 600.
Let me refresh it.
Yes, 698 going up here in $1,000 incomes.
So we were at $550,000 that have been donated when the program started.
And I just casually said it'd be great to get this up to a quarter of a million dollars by the end of the program, and we're up uh 148 grand now since the since the program started.
And it's interesting.
You look at this, and it's it's we're up now to uh 23,600 people.
And most of the donations are five bucks, ten bucks, twenty-five dollars.
It's I it's just fabulous.
It's heartwarming.
All these people rallying to the cause.
And I just I want to stress to you again what this is about.
And it's made clear by the fact that uh the um John Stephen Crowder.
Stephen Crowd, a comedian Fox News contributor, goes into a uh uh Muslim baker in Dearbornistan and says, hey, I'm gonna gay, I'm gonna have a gay wedding, I want to get married, won't you guys bake cake?
Nope, not yet.
You go down the street to and the Muslim bakery gave him some other places to go.
And so he called a media.
Hey, I just walked in a Muslim bakery there in Dearbornistan, they will not bake a cake for my gay wedding.
And the media went.
Well, what's that?
Okay, I just walked into a Muslim bakery and they will not bake a cake for my gay wedding.
Oh, it's too bad.
We feel really bad for you.
Proving this isn't about what everybody wants you to think it's about.
This is not about expanding gay rights.
It's not about discrimination against gays.
Because there isn't any.
There wasn't any in India.
That's the whole point.
The discrimination, if there was any, was against Christians.
Hence, they wrote that bill.
But it's not about discrimination.
It's not about gay rights, civil rights, or this is about usurping power.
It's a power grab.
This is about using force and intimidation and threats to usurp the power of a majority.
And the people trying to wrest that power, take that power, are militant leftists, and they're not just gays.
They're militant leftists come in all stripes.
It's not all gay people that are fit to be tied over this.
That's another thing to point out.
So anyway, the people of America have rallied to this pizza store in Walkerton, Indiana, town of 2000 was shut down because some info babe from a TV station in South Bend, Channel 57, was out bigot shopping, knocking on doors.
Hey, you a bigot?
I need a bigot for a TV series I'm doing.
Sorry, I'm not a bigot.
Okay, thanks.
Keep walking down the street and finding the reporters.
I'm not gonna ask them to bigot.
I'm gonna ask them if they'd serve a gay wedding.
And the first person that says no, bamboo, I got my story.
They walked in, they found Crystal O'Connor at Memories Pizza, who thought the info babe was seeking the truth, and answered her questions honestly.
And they said we've found our bigot.
Five minutes later, tens of thousands supposedly outraged, angered Americans are threatening the pizzeria.
And they had to shut it down because of the fear of threats.
And so the GoFundMe effort is a response on the part of average, ordinary, everyday Americans to defend this assault and attempt to usurp power.
And I just I I love seeing this.
I think it's just great because it is dwarfing the effort made to harm this pizzeria.
Really?
We've hit over 700.
Let me refresh it and see what the uh what the number is out there.
You're right.
700,000 181 bucks.
So that this is it's important, folks, because again, this is the last thing I'm gonna say about it and move on.
The original response from the supposed militants on the left outraged at this pizzeria, it's 10 to 15 people.
Do not doubt me.
10 to 15 people that start tweeting, and they found an algorithm makes their tweets look like it's coming from tens of thousands of people, and the media fall for that, and they think the entire country is uh reacting in outrage to this discriminatory little pizza shop.
And it's all fake.
Hands up, don't shoot was fake.
This is fake.
It's all fake news.
And it's all fake reaction.
And fake has become reality for the uh for the drive-by media.
Now, if you divide the number of contributors, which is about 23,624 into 700,000, we've got a rough average amount of just under 30 bucks.
The average donation to the Memories Pizza GoFundMe uh fund is just under 30 bucks.
Fantastic.
So thanks again to all of you who uh have helped to make this outpouring possible.
This headline from the French news agency.
Late last night, hundreds of Iranians, the headline, Joyful Iranians dance into the night after nuclear breakthrough.
You know the the dancing in the streets, yeah, joyful Iranians dancing in the streets because they've just been told that their country is not going to get a nuclear weapon, and that's reason enough to go dancing in the streets.
Barack Obama just snookered their country.
If we're to believe the news, Barack Obama just told the Iranians what they're not going to be able to do, what they can never do, what they can't do, how they're going to be punished, and the Iranians blinked, and they said, okay, okay, okay.
And the Iranian people are in the streets celebrating dancing.
That makes a lot of sense.
If there are any Iranians dancing in the streets, it's because they've been ordered to go out there and dance in the streets.
And the reason they're dancing in the streets is because they are attempting to make it look like the Iranians snookered Obama.
They are not dancing and celebrating the fact that they did not get a nuclear weapon.
If that was legitimate, the Iranian government would be rounding those people up and put them in prison, and you'd have never seen them dancing.
Hundreds of Iranians took to the streets in Tehran early Friday to celebrate a breakthrough in talks with the West that may end the country's 12.
So once again, we have a news story that attempts to project upon Iran the same democratic behavioral principles that we have in the West.
And Iran is not a democracy.
It is not a republic.
It's an Islamic republic in name only, but it is not a nation of individual freedom.
It is not a nation with a constitution.
Elections are prima facie.
They are not legitimate, just like they never were in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein got 99% of the vote, and the 1% that didn't were shot after being rounded up.
But once again, here we have the Western media doing stories for consumption by American citizens and low information voters into believing that government and life in Iran is just like it is here in the West.
They have a government, they have people, the people vote, they have leaders, and the people of Iran love Obama.
And when Obama announces that the nuclear uh quest of the Iranian government has been stopped, the people of Iran head to the streets and start dancing.
Okay, that's one story.
Then the Washington free beacon, Iran brags about nuke concessions.
Iran and World Powers on Thursday announced the following announced that following the latest round of nuclear negotiations.
Western powers agreed to permit Iran to continue operating the core aspects of its nuclear program, and that all sanctions of the Islamic Republic would be terminated.
Wait just a second now.
Let me reread this.
Iran and world powers on Thursday announced that following a latest round of nuclear negotiations, Western powers agreed to permit Iran to continue operating the core aspects of its nuclear program and all sanctions of the Islamic Republic would be terminated.
That's not what Obama told us happened.
That's that's not that's not what Obama said in the Burgdaw Garden after the uh after the deal was announced yesterday.
Well, no wonder they're dancing in the streets in Tehran.
If this is what they think happened, Western powers, us agreed to permit Iran to continue operating the core aspects of the nuclear program.
That's the sanctions being lifted.
Sanctions of the Islamic Republic could be terminated.
We are rewarding them by removing sanctions, and they continue to develop their new that's this Washington free beacon.
And by these sanctions are never going to be reimposed.
Obama said yesterday that if they're caught cheating and we just slap the sanctions back on them.
Well, that doesn't work that way.
I don't think the sanctions will ever be slapped back on them or resumed because Russia and China would veto any of that at the UN.
Uh sanctions that Congress would try to impose or be vetoed by Obama.
There aren't going to be any new sanctions.
Okay, so now we're confused.
The Iranians are dancing joyfully into the night, and now we're told that uh Iran and world powers announced that Western powers agreed to permit Iran to keep going on their core nuclear development and no sanctions.
That is not what Obama said.
That is as far a cry from what Obama said yesterday as you can imagine.
Now, back to the Washington free beacon.
Iran accuses U.S. of lying about new nuke agreement.
Just hours after the announcement of what the U.S. characterized as an historic agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, the country's leading negotiator lashed out at the Obama regime for lying about the details of a tentative framework.
The Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif accused the regime of misleading the American people in Congress in a fact sheet that it released following the culmination of negotiations with the Islamic Republic.
Javadzarif bragged in an earlier press conference with reporters the U.S. had tentatively agreed to let Iran continue the enrichment of uranium as well as key nuclear research.
Now, this is what we heard the deal was last week.
And the week prior, when Netanyahu came and addressed Congress, we heard the leaks were that the—I'll give you the specifics— The specifics of the deal were that Iran will be permitted to continue developing its nuclear abilities.
Not just nuclear power, but nuclear weapons.
That they would not be able to weaponize for 10 years.
And that in those 10 years, representatives of the U.S., initially Obama and others, would use their extraordinary persuasive powers to convince the Ayatollah homini And the other mullahs not to weaponize.
But that the belief was we didn't have the right to tell them they can't have a nuke.
That's what was leaked out.
There were people denying that, but this report from the Iranian foreign minister is pretty much confirming that what we had access to as a result of a leak is actually what happened.
He's out there, no, no, we got permission to go ahead.
Let's say, just for the sake of uh discussion here.
Let's say that Obama was telling us the truth yesterday.
Let's let's say that the Iranians did agree that they're going to stop and that they've agreed to inspections, and that they're going to close down one of the underground plants.
Let's say everything Obama said is true.
And the Iranians agreed to him.
And then after it's all done and he announced it, the Iranians go out and accuse Obama of lying about it.
Either way here, this isn't good.
But I don't my gut feeling on this is that all of this huffing and puffery from Obama telling the Iranians what will be and what won't be.
I've never bought that.
We don't have any leverage over the Iranians because Obama doesn't think there's anything inherently wrong with them getting nuked.
And that's the bottom line.
And I must repeat an observation I had yesterday.
My entire life, the American left has opposed nuclear everything.
Nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear bombs.
Hell, if Elon Musk could find a way to put a nuclear reactor in one of his Teslas and make sure you could drive it for years without a recharge, they would oppose it.
That's how opposed to nuclear they are.
Because nuclear waste and yet, here we have the world sponsor of terrorism, who has openly admitted its intentions of destroying Israel, our ally, and us, nuking up, and I don't hear a peep from any leftist worried about the Iranians getting a nuke.
Power or bomb.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
Whenever the U.S. was going to go nuclear power, nuclear this and do a movie, China syndrome, shut it down.
No nukes allowed, no new nuclear plants, no new nothing.
In addition to that, nuclear weapons, we got to get rid of them.
So why is there no concern when the Iranians are nuking up?
And maybe the answer is it's never been about nuclear.
Just like in Indiana, it's not really about discrimination or gay rights.
It's all about something else.
And back to the phones, open line Friday.
This is uh David Nagusta, Georgia.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Russ Megadinners from the Gulf Capital of the World.
Yes, it is.
Thank you, sir.
And uh not sure if you know about this, but we've got a little golf tournament next week.
And uh just wondering if you were gonna be able to uh make it up and finally pick up your uh your green jacket out of the closet they've been holding for you for quite a while.
It says what it is on the subject line of his call here, it says, Do you have any inside information or any tips that you can share on the masters next week and help with your office pool?
The one thing I was gonna tell you is I will never have a green jacket.
That's the one tip that I know you can take to the bank.
I will never have a green jacket.
I'm too controversial.
I'm too controversial to be there.
I would never get a green jacket.
It would look great on you.
But uh yeah, uh, my original question was we've got a uh a little calcetta this weekend.
And uh I didn't know maybe if you got your eye on some of the younger guys like Joey Speed, he's been playing good lately, uh Jason Day was pretty close uh last year.
Um or uh Bob is one of the things that we're gonna do.
I think you've got to I think you have to change your direction.
You've got I I had uh opportunity to play with Ricky Fowler in the uh in a in an earniel's charity golf tournament back in early March, and he was flushing the ball, and I talked to him about Augusta and and how from a professional standpoint, how the how do you have to change your game for that golf course than any other?
And he was incredibly detailed with me.
He's obviously studied it.
And in a in a couple of recent tournaments, he started out strong with uh, you know, showing Welbert Roy McElroy and so forth and faith.
I think you look at it in a direction like that.
I look for an unknown.
I think we're we're at a transition period in golf now where the old standby names.
I saw Tiger shot a two over in a practice round the other day with a bunch of birdies, but still couldn't chip.
So, you know, I have I'm I'm not following enough people to know to even come close to telling you you ought to be looking at as a potential winner.
I don't even know all the names of the people that have been invited to play.
Right oh, back we are Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair.
Obama says the Iranian deal is a good deal.
And that's what Obama said about his framework for a framework deal.
Except there is no deal.
Iran said that the deal Obama announced is not the deal they had in mind.
Now, you may say, okay, Rush, we're Americans.
We never ever, come on, we have to side with our president here.
You can't side politics ends at the water's edge.
Look, all I know is the Iranians never told me that I could keep my insurance plan if I liked it.
The Iranians never told me I could keep my good God.
Who is you gotta be kidding?
Holy smokes, I just saw a picture of Hillary, and I could not believe what I was looking at.
No, it's not that one.
I'm man.
You know, I didn't pay any attention.
I've got a story up here.
Where's this from?
Time.
Headline, Hillary Clinton, perfect age to be president.
And you know what the story's about?
Menopause.
The Time magazine story is that Hillary is biologically primed to be a good leader because she is at that time and menopausal time or post-menopausal whatever.
Other words, the menstrual cycle won't be a factor.
Can you believe?
And they say that they say that we're sexist.
Well, female doctor in Time magazine says Hillary is past all of the mood, nutty swings of menopause, and as such is perfectly timed to lead us, perfectly timed to be president.
And there are going to be some women who are going to agree with this.
Mark my words.
She's pos she's well, she wasn't per se.
The female doctor says that all women get moody and nutty because of biological reasons, not psychological.
Biological, the menopause, but Hillary is post-menopausal, meaning she's primed biological, she's past all that.
You know, there's have been some sexists out there who have when when the subject of a female presence come up, they've always, no, no, no, no.
The menopausal, uh the uh minstrel cycle alone, we don't know.
That's disqualifying.
And I've always thought just the opposite.
That's why I created the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion, female brigade in the Army, making sure we structure them so that there's always a combat-ready brigade of Amazon feminizes on their period, ready for battle.
I mean, they're banshees.
That would be the ideal time.
That's what the all-American first cavalry Amazon battle was all about during the days of uh the controversy over women in combat.
I came out in favor of it.
And this female doctor here is essentially saying that that That's not going to be a factor for Hillary because she's reached the age where she beyond all that biologically.
And as such, she's perfectly ready to lead.
Now, a serious takeaway, this is Time magazine.
A Bible of prestige, distinguished service, telling us that we are ready to be led by Hillary Clinton for no other reason than the menstrual cycle is no longer a factor.
And they tell us that we are sexist.
The woman who wrote that time article authored a book called Moody Bitches.
Kid you not.
I'm not going to make that stuff up to you.
It could be too easily checked.
In my new book, Moody Bitches, I look at how women are taught from an early age that moodiness is a problem to be fixed.
Apparently it's not.
She's written a book claiming that it's not a problem to be fixed.
I'm not of all the reasons.
Here's my point is this.
Of all the reasons to tell us we should support Hillary Clinton, they in Time magazine throw at us the menstrual cycle's no longer a problem.
Who are these people?
These are the same people that do a cover story when they learn that men and women are different.
By their own admission, that's the what no, by their own admission, they are telling us that there must have been a time in Hillary's past where she was not qualified to lead because she was still biologically subjected to all of these things.
But now that she's lived long enough to surpass them or bypass them, now she's qualified.
Well, now that I guess we need to ask the question about Elizabeth Warren.
Well, if they're gonna say that this qualifies Hillary, does it disqualify Elizabeth Warren?
Or on the Republican side, Carly Fiorina.
Time brought this up.
Folks, I didn't conceive of this.
I didn't concoct this.
I'm just telling you what's in Time Magazine.
Don't get on me for talking about it.
They're the ones that brought it up.
Here's uh here's Don in Mount, Healthy Ohio.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Ditto's from the city of Cincinnati that's about ready to have opening day next week.
Yeah, and that great.
Great to have you here, too.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Rush, I'm angry today.
I've been angry since this whole thing broke up in Indiana.
Now we live in Ohio here.
We're real close to Indiana, and we're hearing a lot of stuff going on.
I'm telling you, I've never seen the news media as bad as it is right now.
Um you and I are probably the same age.
I was I was born in 51, graduating from high school in 69, and I can remember the old days of Walter Cronkite and Eric Severide, and it was pretty bad.
My dad used to get mad at the news media, but I've never seen it as bad as it is right now.
And I like to see an organization organized effort to march on, not on Washington, which everybody does, the march on the network, CBS, NBC, and ABC.
And start doing something about this.
It's awful.
It is.
And I share your frustration over it.
It's terrible.
I mean, I I used to think, I told my wife the other night, I says, I've never seen Christians and conservatives maligned as bad as they are now.
And I'm uh it's just it's it's terrible, Rush.
And I, you know, I think people out there are still are starting to start doing something about it.
Well, they have in a lot of ways.
Uh I don't you can probably count on one hand the number of major newspapers making money, losing readership, advertising, circulation.
Doesn't change them, though.
Just the other day, just like when uh George Stephanopoulos was uh interviewing the governor uh of Indiana, and uh he should have challenged him.
You know, he said, I'll answer your question, George, but you've got to answer my question of why you're not you're not investigating the IRS and thinking about wrong.
No, no, that's not the that's see.
I know that's what you would love to see, but that's not gonna happen.
Challenging the media like that, you never win.
If you're gonna if you're gonna go on, you'd better answer their questions.
If you go on and and don't answer the question and force it back on them, they're just gonna circle the wagons around everybody talking about what a cheesy coward, in this case, the governor of Indiana was.
That's the thing to do is to not go on the show.
Right.
I mean, George Stephanopoulos is now at the center of two manufactured phony allegations about Republicans.
First was the war on women that he did with Romney, and now this Indiana thing, he got started by the way he questioned Mike Pence.
Yes or no, yes or no, do you hate gays?
Yes or no?
Are you discriminating against gays?
Yes or no?
Are you allowing Christians so gays they can't have fun and live in the state?
Yes or no, Governor, yes or no, yes or no, yes.
And no matter what Pence said, Stephanopoulos is going to conclude that Indiana was biased and bigoted and uh all the homophobic.
Right.
No matter what.
Stephanopoulos is not a journalist.
You're talking about the media as though they're still media, and they're not.
The reason you're not, you you can you can march on the media, the networks all you want.
You may as well go to the DNC and march because that's who they are.
They are the Democrat National Committee.
Every damned one of them, every editor, every executive, every producer, every writer, every reporter, every anchor, Democrat National Committee.
So you you you're not going to talk a Democrat out of being a Democrat.
You're not going to talk a Democrat into being fair.
They are living an illusion each and every day.
They have got the American people convinced that they are true journalists, that they're objective and they're not biased, and they have no interest in the outcome.
They're just reporting the news.
There isn't even any news anymore.
All there is the daily advancement of the Democrat Party agenda, disguised as news.
And the way the Democrat Party agenda gets advanced is not by marshaling support for it.
The way the Democrat Party gets advanced is by maligning, impugning, and destroying Republicans.
That is what the drive-by media has become.
The politics of personal destruction aimed at Republican candidates for the presidency and other high-ranking, powerful government jobs, all the way down to the local level, that there isn't any news in the sense that you turn it on to find out what happened today that you didn't know.
If you turn on the drive-by media at the end of the day, all you're going to get is the Democrat Party's latest attempt to advance its agenda by essentially destroying the Republican Party.
Individual character assassination, Republican after Republican, conservative after Republican, conservative after conservative.
Now, the solution to this is not to shut them up, because that's not possible, and we don't believe in that.
We don't believe in the denial of free speech like they do.
The solution to this is even tougher.
The solution is seeing to it that every day more Americans understand the truth of the media as you do, and do not believe what they hear, do not believe what they read, do not believe what they see.
That is a mighty challenge.
I accomplished it 25 years ago, maybe longer.
Thank you.
I don't and even, and I, by the way, as experienced as I am, as aware as I am, it is a conscious.
It requires a daily consciousness and application to avoid being swept up in the daily soap opera.
It's going to be even tougher to try to condition the low information Crowd, the millennials or whatever, to instinctively doubt what they're hearing.
And even when you instinctively doubt it, when you know you're being lied to, it's still sometimes like I come here to host the show.
And it takes a concerted effort every day to make sure that what I talk about is not paralleling what's in the news.
Meaning I'm not going to let them control the agenda of this program by letting them determine what it is I talk about.
But they do.
If they assault or attack people or things that I believe in, I'm going to take the time to defend them.
Therefore, they are determining the agenda.
But not with the reporting of news.
So it's a monumental challenge.
You can march on all you want.
The key to them is beating them at the ballot box.
They're not going to change, but it's done all the time, and it needs to continue having.
Her name is Dr. Julie Holland.
That's who wrote the Time Magazine piece on Hillary about the moody, you know, Dr. Julie Holland.
Okay.
Here's uh here's uh Unity in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
I'm glad to have you on the program.
It says you're nine years old.
Is that right?
Yes, sir.
Nine years old.
So you must.
I'm guessing that you have read uh some rush revere time travel adventures with sexual Americans uh books, right?
Yes, sir.
Well, thank you very much.
And I also assuming you like them.
You welcome.
Um, yes, sir.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm very much.
Um, my sister also, she's eight-year-old, number named Nimmaway.
She also loves them.
So you have an eight-year-old sister who also has read them and liked them too.
Yes, sir.
Her name's Emily.
Nimway.
Something like that.
Emily and you.
Okay.
Well, it's it's it's uh it's very flattering for you to call and tell me that you enjoyed them.
What do you like best about them?
Well, I like they're just really funny and they teach a lot about history and our country and our country.
Well, that's the objective.
I'm glad that you picked up on that.
Because you know, you're you're you go through school, you're gonna hear things different from what you read in these books, probably.
I hope not, but you might encounter people that tell you a different story than what you're reading in the books.
Yes, my dad likes how you tell the truth, and you he thinks that you are a true patriot.
Well, that's that's awfully nice.
And I I didn't doubt for a moment that there were some really quality parents uh in your life, too.
That's great.
How many, how many of you read Well, we have read the first Patriots and The Brave Pilgrim.
Oh, yeah.
So you but you so you you don't have the uh you don't have the most recent one, then we're working on a fourth.
We have that one, but uh we are working on it right now.
Okay.
Well, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you calling and taking the time to get through and endorsing the uh the books because they're written.
Uh you're you're very close to the target age.
And I appreciate the uh the fact that you are able to understand them and you like them very much.
I thank you and your parents very much.
A brief break, we'll be back after this.
Don't go away.
Well, we almost did it.
We almost got to 750,000.
Get to 742 by show close, which is a mere 30 seconds from now.
And we'll surpass it within mere moments, anyway.
So thanks to everybody participating in the GoFundMe slash memories pizza.com effort.
And uh have a great Easter.
Have a great weekend, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back here on Monday.
We we do not treat it as a three day weekend here.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised it isn't and hasn't been.
It is.
Well, it's not, it's never it's never been for real working people a three day week in the ski industry forgot about it.
Anyway, we'll we'll be here Monday.
We'll see you then.
