Time Text
Greetings and welcome back, my friends.
Great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, doing the job that drive by media's way back a long time ago used to do.
It's great to have you.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882 in the email address, L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
So I got an email during the during the break at the top of the hour warning me, you know, I've made no bones about the fact.
And I'll tell you again, I am bored silly by Hillary Clinton.
I just am bored.
It is a recycling of everything that we know already.
We've lived through it, we've been there done that.
It's a recycling.
There's not and I just not jazzed about it.
But that's what the email was about.
Rush, you better guard against this because you're older than you were back in the 90s.
And there's some people who are your age in the 90s now.
And they're not bored by this.
This is who the next president's gonna be.
It's what it's about.
And they don't know Mrs. Clinton.
It's obviously a reference to millennials.
They don't know Mrs. Clinton the way you do.
You are gonna blow it if you act like you're bored by her.
And I understand that.
Believe me, folks.
Nobody knows better than I what I must do to attract and hold an audience on this program.
Nobody knows better than me or better than I. That's actually what the job is.
Attracting the largest audience possible and holding it for as long as possible.
Nothing in there about getting votes.
Now how I go about doing that, it's a challenge every day.
And it's gotten tougher.
It's actually gotten harder.
And I'm not complaining, I'm just sharing here.
Used to be able to prepare this show with four newspapers.
If I read four newspapers a day, I knew more than anybody in the audience.
Four newspapers today is phoning it in.
There is so much to know.
There's so much to learn every day.
So much.
The uh information is more plentiful than ever.
The sources are more plentiful than ever.
And there are infinitely more people with with opinions on all of it out there than there were when I started.
And it's gotten increasingly difficult to just stay up with it.
What you always, what I always fall back on is I have got to stay dedicated to my desires.
If I talk about something because I think I should, it's gonna sound that way.
It's gonna sound perfunctory, and it's gonna be boring in and of itself.
And that's the danger.
This Clinton, I'm literally bored stiff by it.
And further than that, I think everybody else ought to be too.
The fact that this is the best they got to offer, to me is one of the greatest signs we have that we can get control of the White House back.
That if this is it, if this is the best thing a Democrats have to offer, they don't have these are the guys that gave us this so-called bridge to the 21st century.
They're the ones that gave us all this talk about how we need to modernize, get to the future.
What are they doing?
They're taking us back 20 years, 25 years.
So I'm aware you do not need to be alarmed that uh that I will uh somehow blow it by uh not being up to speed on where Mrs. Clinton is in terms of certain age groups or demographics.
And they all well, I I th I think Snerdley says, what do they want you to do?
I think it what there's still people scared to death of her.
I can tell you, on our side, there are people still scared to death of this woman.
They think she's invincible and unbeatable.
And they're living in abject morbid fear, which is another thing I am not doing, and frankly don't understand and never have.
I understand that it's out there though.
But they're mostly referring to the millennium.
Hey, Rush, you know, these millennials.
I mean, they're they don't know Mrs. Clinton of it, and you've made the point yourself, Rush, that the email pointed out, and I have.
They don't know the Hillary Clinton who was the bimbo eruption team leader.
They don't know that Hillary Clinton enabled her husband having affairs with other women.
They don't know that Hillary Clinton looked the other way and enabled the whole thing with Monica Lewinsky.
They don't have any idea of that.
And these people are sending me notes.
You're going to have to tell them, Rush, you're going to have to do this because the media isn't.
And if you're bored, are you going to lose interest in telling people the truth about Hillary?
No.
That's the difference.
I'm constitutionally incapable of not telling the truth about people.
But I'm just telling you the whole concept of Hillary Clinton as a candidate again.
Look, this show arguably saved her with Operation Chaos in 2008.
Now it may be a stretch to say we saved her.
We certainly prolonged that her campaign and saw to it that she was not eliminated in March or April instead of late into the summer.
Operation Chaos.
We did that, by the way, to alleviate boredom with the Republican side.
McCain had already sewn up the Republican nomination, and that's what a wet noodle.
The whole Republican campaign was a one dry ball after the next.
And by March of 2008, Republican campaign was over, and the conventions weren't until later in the summer.
The only thing out there was Hillary and Obama.
And if Obama swept her out of the way, we're going to have both nominees in March, and then what?
I had to do something in order to keep the audience entertained, and that was to get them involved in a Democrat primary.
In states that remained ergo operation chaos.
So what folks, uh, we don't do long-term strategic planning here.
We never have.
We deal with things as they come.
I have never been one to have specific long-term goals or objectives because I found them limiting.
I found that they narrow the field of opportunity.
I've had big long-range overall life goals, but incremental in ten years they want to be here, in five years they want to be there.
In seven years I want to make sure I don't do anything like that.
Never have, they never will.
So we deal with things as they happen.
Uh, on the spot and uh in an improvisational way, using intelligence guided by experience with incredible, never-ending preparation.
So fear not.
Hillary's not going to get anything past us here just because I'm bored by it.
But I can't hide the fact that I'm bored by it.
I'm just telling you, if it makes you worried, then I won't tell you anymore.
Well, I may be tough.
I mean, when it's hilarious, is it not?
That the drive-bys think Hillary has demonstrated her newness.
That's an admission that she has to, by the way.
That's an admission that she's an old just stick in the mud.
Something new was she had a burrito.
Nobody had ever seen her eat a burrito.
See, Hillary can modernize.
See, that's a that's newness.
We've never seen that before.
And they're serious.
Speaking of the youths of America, this from the UK Daily Mail.
Iowa students preparing for Hillary's first listening session thinks that she's a control freak, who'll be talking crap, only don't say crap, and that only wants immigration reform because the Democrat Party needs voters.
See, this is another thing.
Folks, we have we have been led to believe by the drive-bys in the Democrat Party that all millennials tend to the left, trend to the left, lean to the left.
We have been told that young people, millennials, are idealistic and not yet properly matured and informed, and the vast, vast, vast majority of them have no idea who Hillary Clinton really is or who Obama really is, and I have never believed that either.
Daily Mail Online spoke to ten students at Kirkwood Community College's satellite campus in rural Iowa where Hillary Clinton's going to be today.
Maybe he's already been there.
Don't know.
One student is among those picked by teachers to question her.
And he wants her to comment on his suspicion about immigration reform that Democrats are pushing it because they need new loyal voters.
Now you know this student's not hearing this in his class.
Well, it's a community.
We don't know.
The odds are this student is not hearing that perspective in his class.
In his class, he's hearing quite the opposite, yet he's got it nailed here.
Why the Democrats?
He knows they need a permanent underclass.
And amnesty for millions of illegals is the best way to get a big permanent underclass almost immediately.
Another student predicted she's going to be just BSing them and would put some emotional thing on them.
A third said that Hillary Clinton comes off like a control freak to her.
And another student said, I hope people don't vote for her just because she's a woman.
Now, you obviously the UK Daily Mail, this is not in the drive-by media.
Nothing like this has appeared in the United States media, and it won't.
But what the story indicates is that there are already young people where she's going who understand exactly who she is.
When Hillary Clinton steps off her road trip van on Tuesday to rural Iowa community college, she might not be greeted by cheering thongs.
Daily Mail Online spoke to students at Kirkwood Community College's Regional Center in Jones County, where the former Secretary of State will hold her first low-key campaign event.
So just it's another bit of evidence, folks, that not everything is as it appears in the mainstream media, and that not everybody is seduced by them.
A couple of more Rubio sound bites from his announcement speech last night.
Here is this sound.
It's number 23, Mike.
This is the soundbite in which he admitted to being humbled by the realization that America doesn't owe him anything.
I'm humbled by the realization that America doesn't owe me anything.
But I have a debt to America I must try to repay.
This isn't just the country where I was born.
America is literally the place that changed my family's history.
I guarantee you that at some point, if it hasn't happened already, critics of Rubio, primarily Democratic in the media, are going to zero in on this statement of his that he's humbled by.
The realization that America doesn't owe him anything.
They're gonna say that that is a swipe at the less fortunate.
They're going to say that it is insensitive.
They're going to say that this illustrates how Rubio does not understand the plight of most people living in this country.
I'll tell you a little story.
It's been a long time since I shared this with you.
My first book, The Way Things Ought to Be, 1992.
Book Party is at 21 Club.
I didn't want to go, because I didn't, I wasn't going to know anybody there.
But it was one of these things that is an offer you had to do.
You had to do the book party.
Okay, so I'll go.
And I went.
And some, I don't remember his name, but some ranking executive at Time Life at the time.
Time magazine live magazine came up to me.
An elderly guy was in the 70s, but he was well known.
I just can't remember his name, but very, very well known, particularly the journalism business.
And the book was number one on the New York Times list.
It already had been, it opened that way.
It was being there for 54 weeks.
This guy comes up to me and says, How does it feel?
First time author?
Nobody's ever heard of.
He was nice, by the way.
Don't miss the How does it feel?
Number one best seller.
And I said, I'm kind of humbled by it.
And he hadn't the slightest idea.
He looked at me with the most perplexed look on his face.
And he tilted his head in one direction, left or right, stroking his chin.
Look humbled.
Huh?
That's all you've got this.
You're humbled by it.
I said, Yeah.
That this many people would go out and buy this thing and recommend to others.
Yeah, I'm I'm quite humble, but he didn't understand it.
I don't know what he was expecting.
He didn't get around, so I was left to assume what he was expecting.
All I could do was project, okay, what would this guy think if he had a number one selling book uh about it?
But the point is that the notion of expressing humility totally escaped him.
He did in fact it was silly.
Not only did he did he not agree with it, he thought it was naive and and and silly.
And here's Rubio, and I'm guaranteeing you that at some point somebody's gonna zero in on this.
I'm humbled by the realization that America doesn't owe me anything.
They're gonna they're gonna nail him or try to on two different aspects of that.
Uh one more, and then we gotta go to the break.
This is Rubio saying it is candidacy as the epitome of the American.
Up, up, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Let me take a break here.
I've lost my place, either two or three.
I gotta get myself refigured because this one sound bite was interruption in the horse.
We'll be right back after this.
Don't I just realize I hadn't gone to the phones yet, folks, and I better do that.
So we'll get back to the other stuff in the stacks of stuff, but I want to start with uh Jonathan in Silver City, New Mexico.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Well, hello, this is a huge honor rush.
I'm a 25-plus year listener.
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
You're a lifer then.
Yep.
Um, this uh Rubio thing, um, from the first time I heard his name and where he was from, I was skeptical of him and thought he was a plant.
And it turned out I was right.
Um Wait a minute now, from the where you heard he was from, what do you mean?
Florida or Cuba?
Florida.
A plant.
Why is he a plant just because he's from Florida?
Well, there's uh a lot of um Hispanic influence out there, and you've got Jeff Bush and uh and others like who are attempting to cultivate that political market.
But beyond that, he's cooperative with the higher-ups in the establishment.
He's he's uh and he knows he has to get anywhere in the political arena.
He's gonna have to cooperate with the leadership, as is the case with most of them.
Not all of them, but most of them.
And and it's possible to be a plant without knowing you're why.
You can cooperate, call it compromise, you know, oh, we gotta give a little again a little.
Well, wait a minute now, who planted him?
Well, political uh forces in Florida, which I've got So he had no idea somebody told him he was gonna run for the Senate, and then told somebody told him he was gonna win.
And then after he won, somebody told him what he was gonna do when he got to the Senate.
Oh, it's not that simple.
Um you mean it's more complicated than that?
There's there's people in the political sphere that look decades out that they see somebody with a name like that, a background like that, and and a glib, excellent speaker with uh, you know, integrity, and they say to themselves, you know, this is a vehicle here that we could really use.
He's got everything.
If he were a Democrat if he were a Democrat, I could almost I can almost say that you might have on a day I was really bored, a good point.
But I'm not really bored today.
There's no way Rubio is a plant, long term, short term, or otherwise.
Now it's fine if you don't want to vote for him because you think he betrayed his integrity and honesty by sidling up with a leadership on immigration and making a mistake on it, now trying to walk it back.
If you want to say you don't believe he's serious, he just realizes he made a mistake and he's just pandering you for that, but he's not at each body's plant.
I mean, he's not anybody's puppet doing this, and it's not designed to fool anybody.
And even if it is, they haven't fooled you.
Well, the emails keep pouring in, criticizing me and warning me that even if I am bored with Hillary, I shouldn't tell people.
Now that these people they they claim that they're loyal listeners, and the thing that I never ever sound like is I'm bored.
That's the one thing that they say makes me stand out.
And if you're gonna start admitting being bored, I don't know how I'm gonna deal with it.
That's exactly what one of them said.
Let me put it a different way and give you some backup for it.
And I'm not gonna walk back the board.
I'm gonna try to tell you even give you more reasons why.
The Clintons are not real.
Everything is manufactured.
Everything is a calculation, and I've been there and done that, and I've seen it.
And I just for 25 years I've been I've I've I've had to read and be exposed to and report on machinations of this couple and this pair, and I've chronicled it all and now to have it surface again.
It's just not an exciting prospect.
There's also the aspect of if people don't get it now after 25 years, are they ever gonna get it?
And maybe I need to go about it in a different way.
And I'm telling you, the woman bores me.
And if she bores me, what do you think Bill feels?
You know, put that in your pipe and smoke it and think of all the relevant possibilities that would explain his behavior.
Now, you remember, let's go back to Memory's Pizza, and that whole brew ha involving the religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana.
Now bear with me on this.
We had an infobabe, TV reporterette from Channel 57, ABC News in South Bend, Indiana, who started knocking on doors, looking for a bigoted business owner in order to make a name for herself, pad her resume, and maybe get out of South Bend and get out of Channel 57 and hired by a bigger firm, bigger network, bigger station, what have you.
So she goes door to door, she starts knocking on doors looking for a bigot that she can then say this is why this law is so bad, because look at who it protects, and this state is filled with people like this who want to discriminate against our gay brothers and sisters and their weddings and so forth,
and comes across this little pizza store in a town twenty miles south of South Bend, and she gets hold of a naive family member at this family-owned place who is uh admits, well, no, we would not cater.
Pizzeria, we wouldn't cater a gay woman.
That's all it took.
The news went out.
And here's the point, though.
Within five minutes of that being reported, we were told that thousands of people on Twitter had been outraged and were tweeting and going to Facebook and demanding all kinds of things happened to this business that it'd be attacked, that it'd be put out of business, what have you.
The point is, on the surface, the appearance was one news report, and this whole country erupted an outrage at this poor little pizzeria, and you were supposed to take away from it that the vast majority of Americans support gay marriage and want to seriously attack people who don't.
My point to you was that most of that Twitter response was fake and manufactured.
And I know for a fact it is.
I know how it's done.
We have been the target of that stuff.
We did an investigation.
We found out, we know, in fact, in our case, just to repeat this.
Ten people represent eighty percent of the so-called complaint tweets and emails that we get.
Ten people, we found out who they are.
We know where they live, and we know how they've done it.
They have an algorithm or two that enables them to mass produce tweets and emails that make it look like they're coming from thousands and thousands of people when it's really being written by ten.
And we found out that the uh percentage of tweets, like, say in the case of this pizzeria, if it's the same as the uh uh movement against us here at the EIB network, one out of six tweets actually came from Indiana.
The rest were from out of state, uh, all over the country, yet they claimed they were never gonna shop there again, they were never gonna buy a pizza there, they were gonna tell her friends never to, and so forth.
It's designed to scare people.
Now keep that in mind as I give you the details of the next story again from the UK Daily Mail.
Headline more than two million of Hillary Clinton's Twitter followers are fake or never tweet.
And now she's under fire for buying fake Facebook fans.
She's paying, as best people have been able to calculate, $38 per Facebook fan.
You know, likes, dislikes on Facebook.
Most people go about generating that genuinely.
The Clintons can't rely on that.
They can't afford for that.
They pad it, they fake it, they buy it.
Two different online audit tools say that no more than 44% of Hillary's 3.6 million Twitter fans are actual real people who participate in Twitter.
Fifty-six percent of the people tweeting for Hillary do not even exist, folks.
I'm telling you, Twitter is this society's gutter.
It is this society's sewer where the trolls and the dregs and the human debris of our culture go and lurk in anonymity.
A good percentage of them are political activists on the left who don't have the guts to show up in public and put their real names to anything.
And now they're working for Hillary.
More than two million of her Twitter followers are fake or never tweet, and she's buying Facebook fans.
She's now fending off accusations that her Facebook page is full of fake likes.
Her Facebook fan base includes more people from Baghdad, Iraq than any American city.
And this is exactly my point.
I'll guarantee you it was the identical thing.
If somebody had done this kind of investigation to what happened at Portal Pizzeria in Indiana, you would have found the same thing.
You would have found the vast majority of people tweeting and emailing and threatening don't even exist.
And most of them, by far, were not even from Indiana.
We have released the details of our investigation.
You say, well, we've ever heard about it because we released it to traditional American media outlets and none of them reported it.
Or if they did, they purposely got elements of it wrong and made it look uninteresting and so forth, uh, which we knew was going to happen, but we wanted to be on record as having getting it out there.
And this is, by the way, we learned this last summer.
This is old news, folks.
And the reason I didn't go public with it myself is because there's no win in doing that.
I waited until an event happened where I could bounce off the event and say, by the way, it happens to us too.
And that's what Indiana was for me.
It was an opportunity.
I mean, as so many people uh hears Rush, you've got to go out, you've got to tell people.
I can't.
It's not gonna sound good.
It's gonna sound like I'm whining, moaning, complaining, I can't do it.
Uh it's not going to change anything either.
Now that we can tell everybody who's being assaulted by this that it's fake, that's all we have to do, which is what we have been doing.
But now all of this is coming to light.
And all of this, by the way, the route for all of this fakery on Twitter where it comes to politics, it can be traced back in large measure, not all of it, but most of it to media matters for America, which is George Soros Money.
That's where this stuff can be traced back.
Now, here's the text of the story in the UK Daily Mail.
Although Hillary Clinton boasts a robust 3.6 million Twitter followers, not even a vast right-wing conspiracy to be able to interact with two million of them.
According to two popular online measuring tools, no more than 44% of her Twitter fan base consists of real people who are active or active in using Twitter.
15% are totally completely provably fake.
Statuspeople.com, the oldest publicly available Twitter auditing tool reports that 44% of the former Secretary of State's followers are good.
15% are fake, 41% are inactive, meaning they never tweet or reply to tweets.
Their names have been appropriated and are being used in tweets that are going out, and they're being appropriated as Hillary followers as Hillary fans when they're not, and they don't even know what's happening.
Another Twitter website sampled more than 320,000 of Clinton's followers and found that a large number of them were fake.
Four percent of Obama's Twitter followers by comparison are considered fake.
White House worked overtime to purge most of them after a September 2013 report found that half of Obama's followers were fake.
And they were.
The Democrat Party doesn't leave anything to chance.
Occupy Wall Street is not real.
Occupy Wall Street was created and invented to counter the Tea Party, which is real.
The Tea Party sprung up out of nothing.
The Tea Party is average, ordinary, everyday Americans fed up and scared by Obama policies.
The Tea Party, real.
Occupy America was created by Democrat operatives and made to look like a grassroots organization springing up in opposition to the Tea Party in defense of Barack Obama.
Fake, plastic, banana, good time rock and roll.
Paid for by George Soros.
The trick is the media treats them as real and accuses the Tea Party of being the fakers.
So this is another reason why to close the loop here.
This is nothing new.
The Clintons have been engaging in this kind of chicanery for as long as they've been on the public scene.
And I think, I don't know for sure, maybe there's a little bit too much hope here on my part, but I think more and more people are becoming aware of this now.
I just don't sense that there's real enthusiasm for Hillary out there.
Do you, Mr. Snurdly?
I mean, even on the Democrat side, I don't sense there's...
You can tell when excitement and energy is genuine and real.
And this doesn't feel like it.
This feels manufactured.
Look at this story here.
And by the way, real and fake bores me, if I might add.
Another Daily Mail, UK Daily Mail...
None of this is in the American media, by the way.
None of the story on the fake followers on Twitter, you won't see it.
ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, New York Times.
You won't see it at Yahoo News.
You won't see it anywhere on Google.
They will bury it.
They'll cover it up, they'll ignore it.
But there's an organization out there been discovered lesbians for Hillary.
Lesbians 4, the number 4 Hillary.
A PAC headed by Billy Jean King comes out in support of Clinton.
Lesbians for Hillary, a pro-LGBT super PAC, launched on Monday, co-chaired by Billy Jean King.
Now see, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in 2013 and prior opposed gay marriage.
And they were as stridently opposed to it as any Republican conservative has been.
And then Joe Biden was instructed to go out there and announce.
And it was made to look like Obama was suckered into it or drawn into it by Biden making a misstatement, but it wasn't.
It was a planned strategic thing for Biden to go out and change the entire administration view on gay marriage because they were nearing an election.
And so now both Hillary and Obama are pro-gay marriage.
And prior to that, for their entire political careers, they were anti-gay marriage.
Same thing with abortion.
Bill Clinton and Al Gore were dead set against abortion when they were state politicians.
Clinton was governor and Al Gore was whatever he was.
Even in the Senate, when Gore was opposed to abortion, they run for president and they realize they got to change.
Now, the question people need to ask do you want somebody who believes what they believe, and do you want somebody who changes their mind on a dime, sticks their finger in the wind, moistened to figure out which way the winds are blowing and goes in that direction?
Because that's who we're talking about here.
Fake phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and rollers, even to the point of manufacturing and paying for supporters on Twitter and on Facebook.
Back after this, don't go away.
And we're going to try the phones again.
See if we find any more tinfoil hat people out there.
Hollywood, Florida, Mike, great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hola, Rushbo.
Saludos is a cueros, the Hollywood.
How are you, sir?
Very well.
Long time listener, longtime listener, first time caller.
It's a privilege to call you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
And uh the reason I was calling is uh I listened to the Marco Rubio speech last night, and the one thing that stuck out for me was the fact that he spoke uh about the fact that all the education that our young people are getting and getting in debt for is not even landing them jobs.
And he talked about getting kids educated enough in high school so that when they come out of high school, they can get a job.
And I'm a Cuban American, and this country doesn't owe me anything.
It gave me everything that I have today.
And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Because it educated me free of charge.
My parents gave everything up in Cuba, came to this country, and were able to make do and have five of my sisters go through college, and I have also been uh educated in higher learning.
And I'm a little nervous talking about this, but uh it's very emotional.
I I related completely to everything that Mr. Rubio said yesterday.
Well, I understand.
I mean I know exactly uh what you mean with uh with with your comments.
You relish, you appreciate the freedom that you had as an American to go be what you wanted to be.
To go do what you want to try to do what you wanted to do, be what you wanted based on uh your family history where they came from and so forth.
Now, Rubio's point about education is a good one.
Uh I saw the other day that two years of college barely equals what a high school diploma used to be, not very long ago, 20, 30 years ago.
There are kids, young people getting into college who can't read, cannot demonstrate they can read.
They're people being admitted to college that do not have basic English composition, mathematical, sentence structure skills whatsoever.
No business being there.
But the pressure, societal and otherwise, is to get everybody to college.
You don't have a future if you don't go to college, and as such, it it used to be that people came out of college after four years.
You were prepared to enter the career world.
That's what it was for.
A four-year undergraduate degree was to prepare you, and you were to be qualified to get in the door for job interviews.
It does not prepare people anymore.
And along the way, what you're talking about vocational schools is what Rubio referenced last night, that not everybody is intended to go to college, and there's no shame in not going to college.
There's all kinds of job opportunities out there.
But the point that he was making is that high school graduates are not prepared to work today.
Why do we need uh jobs, counseling sessions or centers if we've got high schools?
It's redundant.
It's because the high schools aren't working, and he's right about that.
Okay, I told you earlier we have audio signbites of the drive by saying the Clintons are more worried about Rubio than anybody else.
I want you to hear those when we get back, and we'll get to the rest of the stacks.
There's other stuff in there too.
