Time Text
Greetings, folks, and welcome back.
It's great to have you, Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Show prep for the rest of the media.
Happy to have you here.
The telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address, L. Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
So John Kasich announced he's running for president today, had a um announced the speech, I think it got started about uh 1130 and jam-packed at his venue in Columbus.
So that makes it 16 now, in the officially announced in the in the Republican field.
And Kasich was good today.
His uh his his his speech, it hit all the hit all the right points.
So this is, you know, whatever, folks.
This is uh it's all good.
It's all good.
Everything happening here is gonna end up for the better or for the best.
Uh we have our entertainment value, we've got we've got serious, serious, we've got a couple of really serious conservative candidates who have a governing record of success, and who have a blueprint for success winning elections against a fully fortified liberal opposition.
The left and the Democrat Party are crumbling, they are imploding on their uh lack of their own morality.
Now, doesn't mean that they're destined to lose elections.
Uh, but as the Democrat Party implodes, they're taking the country with them.
And this has to stop.
It just has to stop.
Uh Obama was at the VFW in Pittsburgh today, and you know, the limbaugh theorem was was on full display.
Uh also with some economic news that's out.
Uh black unemployment's lower than it's ever been.
It's 2008.
I mean, it's all kinds of horrible economic and societal news, cultural news for African Americans, that things are much worse for them today than they were in 2008, 2009 when Obama took office.
And Obama's out talking about it as though he's had nothing to do with it.
He's talking about it as though there are these blind, mysterious forces that are conducting all this mayhem and evil against people, and by God by gosh, he's gonna get to the bottom of it and he's gonna find out who's doing it, and he's gonna beat them.
Limbaugh theorem in practice.
John Kerry, folks, this is simply stunning.
Here's the Iran stack today.
The first story, Iran Parliament wants to revise nuclear deal.
We have a Stitz in Breitbart.
Now, this story, this article, is about how Iran's parliament wants to revise the Iran deal to drop the eight-year ban on ballistic missiles.
They don't like the fact that they can't use ICBMs for eight years, and their parliament wants to change that.
It also points out, this article does, that the deal says that the Iran Parliament has to ratify an additional protocol to the long-standing non-proliferation treaty, and this additional protocol is essential for the International Atomic Energy Agency to be able to monitor Iran's nuclear development.
But the Iran Parliament might not even ratify it.
You hear what I'm saying here.
The Iranian Parliament has all kinds of say-so over this deal, and how's doesn't.
The Iranian Parliament has all kinds of input.
They can make things happen, they can deny things happening in this deal.
They can make addendum, they can make changes.
They can add to it, they can take away from it.
The Iran Parliament has the power to revise or even reject this deal.
According to Breitbart, our Congress does not.
Our Congress and we are being told that the UN's already voted on our side of the deal, and so that's done.
There's nothing the U.S. Congress can do.
And again, if you're thinking Corker Bill, would you please don't doubt me?
The Corker Bill doesn't Do a single thing to help.
The Corker Bill will not provide the Senate an opportunity to dispose of this.
The Corker bill does not does not give anybody the option to put up a stop sign.
It's nothing of the sort.
But it's irrelevant anyway, because Obama and his regime are telling us that the UN's already ratified our side.
So here we have a story about how the Iranian Parliament, they don't like this, and they don't like that, and they do want something thrown in.
They want to be able to get rid of this eight-year ban on ICBMs.
They want uh a deal to ratify an additional protocol to the long-standing non-proliferation treaty.
This is gobbledygook sounding, but the additional protocol that they want is essential for the International Atomic Energy Agency to be able to monitor nuclear development.
They want, in other words, the Iranian Parliament wants to have a say-so in whether or not Iran's nuclear development can be inspected.
The whole ballistic missile ban is a sham anyway.
On paper, it's supposed to last eight years, but in reality, the International Atomic Energy Agency can lift it as soon as they're convinced that Iran is abiding by the treaty.
Which means that the International Atomic Energy Energy Agency will lift the ban on ICBMs as soon as they can in order to keep Iran happy and on the reservations.
That's Iran somehow in this whole deal became the power.
And we became the inferior.
And everybody's worried now about what Iran wants and what Iran will do if they don't get what they want.
So Iran's going to get this eight-year ban on ICBMs stricken.
Mark my words, they're going to get it stricken because the International Atomic Energy Agency wants to keep Iran happy.
I mean, they're on their way to getting nukes.
You don't want to make them mad.
That's just insane.
What is happening here?
But that's just the beginning.
From the Washington Free Beacon headline, Iran, we will trample upon America.
A senior Iranian cleric delivered Friday prayers in Tehran standing behind a podium that declared we will trample upon America.
The cleric is the Ayatollah Muhammad Ali Movadi Kermani.
Here we go.
Again, the Iranian cleric is the Ayatollah Mohammed Ali Movadi Kermani, who was handpicked by the Ayatollah Hamini to go out and do Friday prayers.
So since this Ayatollah was picked by the Ayatollah Hominy to go out and do the prayers, what he said was sanctioned by the Supreme Leader.
A Persian language translation of a sign on the podiums and we will trample upon America.
The English phrase underneath it that was used to translate it for people who could not read Farsi was we defeat the United States.
That could be seen underneath.
We will trample upon America.
Thank you.
Well, John Kerry was told about this.
John Kerry, who, by the way, uh served in Vietnam, our Secretary of State.
It was in Dubai.
And you see, the Ayatollah hominy went out there after Friday prayers, the Ayatollah hominy went out there and uh and did a speech.
Gave a speech.
And do you by the way, do you know this?
The Ayatollah, honestly, I saw the picture, the Aetola hominy was standing at the podium holding a rifle or a shotgun.
You couldn't see it if you're in the crowd because it was hidden by the podium, but it was it was standing on the floor, the butt of the gun was on the Floor, and the nozzle is pointing up, and if it had gone off, it had blown his head off.
But he was holding a rifle.
When's the last time you've seen an American president go to the podium holding a gun?
The Ayatollah hominy there had a gun.
He had a big rifle.
And he went out and he continued to lay into the United States.
And he reiterated what the Ayatollah prayer was on Friday, going to trample a U.S. And then he doubled down and said that the Iranian deal doesn't at all change their country's policy with us.
They're going to continue to fund terrorism.
They're going to continue to hate Israel.
They're not going to change one IOTA.
So Kerry was told about this when he was in Dubai.
And here's the story from Reuters.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, said a speech by the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hamini on Saturday, vowing to defy American policies in the region despite a deal over the nuclear program was, quote, very disturbing.
John Kerry says it's very, very disturbing.
What Hominay said is not nearly as disturbing as Carrie seeming to be surprised.
Ayatollah Hominay has been saying these things all along.
I mean, this is nothing new from Iran.
Death do America, death to America.
We will triple you.
We will walk all over you.
Let's do your camels.
Our camels will fight over your country forever.
They've been saying this stuff for 35,000, 40,000 years.
And Kerry's running around acting surprised by it.
Here's what he said.
This is an interview with Al Arabi of television.
Kerry said, I don't know how to interpret it at this point in time, except to take it at face value.
That's his policy.
But I do know that often comments are made publicly and things can evolve that are different.
But if it's the policy, it's very disturbing, it's very troubling.
So Kerry is there hoping that the Ayatollah hominy, we're just saying this for public consumption.
Let me tell you what's going on here.
And I don't have any doubt that what I'm telling you is true.
And I'm I want to say this in a way that does not in any way approach name calling, because I don't want to cheapen the thrust of my point.
I really do believe that John Kerry is an order of fries short of a happy meal.
I don't think the elevator goes to the penthouse level.
I think there is something missing intellectually.
And what's missing in John Kerry is replaced by an arrogance and a hubris that has led him and people like him to literally live inside fantasies they have concocted.
I firmly believe that John Kerry is so self-focused, self-aware, self-conscious, so impressed with himself.
I think he's the kind of guy that does sit home at night with the lights off, sipping a cocktail after everybody else has gone to bed, thinking how great he is.
And how special he is.
And how unique he is.
And I think he tells himself and convinces himself that he's actually done one of the greatest acts of statesmanship that's ever been done here.
And I think he also believes that as part of this, the power of his brilliance and greatness and presence is such that the Iranians love him now and have profound, deep respect for him.
And realize what a brilliant gentleman he is.
I think he believes all this.
I think he believes it because he's Secretary of State.
I think he believes it because his leftist ideology points him in that direction.
I think he believes it because it's his Personality.
I think he believes it because he really, really believes that what's happened here in this Iranian nuke deal is unprecedented greatness.
And I think he really, really believes that nobody but him could have ever done this.
And I think he tells himself the proof of that is that nobody ever has done it.
That he did it.
He may have room in his self-conscious thoughts for the greatness of Barack Obama as well for having the vision to name him Secretary of State.
But I really believe this.
And it's the only way that you could actually be that you would publicly admit that you are surprised that the Iranians would say what they're saying, and that you would admit to being disturbed by it.
I mean, if this disturbs you, and if you're shocked by it, what in the world must you have thought the day before that with this deal we have buried decades and decades of enmity with Iran?
And why did we do that?
How did that happen?
How did we finally end all the acrimony?
Was it because finally the U.S. had sent smart people like John Kerry to negotiate?
And the Iranians realized how smart John Kerry was, and how you couldn't outsmart John Kerry.
And Iranians realized the greatness of this administration, and the Iranians realized that because these people, John Kerry Obama, whoever's so smart that this was the best they were going to have.
I mean, they have to be delusional.
Carrie specifically has to be delusional here.
He's so delusional.
He is so into self.
He doesn't even have the presence of mind to not act surprised.
He doesn't even have the presence of mind not to admit that he's disturbed.
There's a much better way of dealing with this than to actually go out and admit you've been fooled, which is what he's done.
But he doesn't know that because you see, it's not possible to fool John Kerry.
He's too smart.
He is too clever.
He served in Vietnam.
He is Secretary of State for Barack Obama, so it's impossible to fool him.
So he is deeply troubled at what this means.
He's the kind of guy everybody laughs at behind his back and never knows it.
And if he did, wouldn't understand it.
And it's dangerous having somebody like this who basically brokered this deal.
All on the pretext and basis of this self-love and adulation that borders on danger.
I got to take a break.
Sit tight.
We'll be back after this.
No, no, no, no, I'm going to get the CNN audio sound bites are coming up.
And we got a couple of new Donald Trump sound bites about Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.
But I've got to get to the phones here.
Because if I don't, it's going to be a long time.
So let me start.
Helena Montana, this is Jim.
I'm glad you called, sir.
It's great to have you here.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
What an honor.
I never thought I'd get to say this.
Well, I'm glad you made it through.
Thanks.
Um, in regards to this Planned Parenthood thing, I was just wondering why no one was asking the question of who the companies are that are buying these baby parts and what exactly they're doing with them.
Well, I think I think it's known.
I mean, the Planned Parenthood people have divulged who's buying the uh the body.
I can't think of the name.
There's one primary buyer here.
I can't think of the name of the group off the top of my head.
Um, but it's it's known.
There's there's no medical research to show for it.
I mean, there's no medical research success.
I mean, that's the the bottom line here.
Uh companies are are that it it's they're buying the body parts, planned parenthood selling them.
Uh what's happening uh in in the research, that's what nobody's announcing, because there isn't any success.
That's that's just like there's no stem cell research that's had mattered.
Adult stem cells are different story, but but uh you know, the the fetal stem cells, there's nothing that's happening in in that area of research yet.
But I can't, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I know it does, because you look to me as the man with all the answers, and I'm having a mental block as to nay.
There's a primary company that that pies these things.
And I just I'll find it, and before the program ends, I will divulge the uh information.
Frank in Des Moines, Iowa, you're next.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Uh every time Republicans allow ourselves to play by liberal rules, we get our uh face shoved in the mud, and I don't think uh Trump ought to apologize for anything.
Well, it's too late now, and he can't if he changed his mind and wanted to anyway.
It it it would really ring hollow.
Well, if you notice the people that are outraged by uh these comments directed towards McCain, aren't friends of McCain's anyway.
They're just out to, you know, uh throw it the face of each Republican candidate.
What do you think about Trump's comments?
I actually attended the the family leadership summit names on on Saturday.
I heard the comments live.
Uh people were actually more upset about Trump saying a couple of things that one I know this isn't the untold story.
Trump said he had never asked God for forgiveness.
He is in more trouble with that audience in Des Moines on Saturday in Iowa than for this McCain stuff.
Rush Limbaugh in the afternoon.
In most time zones, still in the morning out on the left coast, 800 282-2882, the company that buying the majority of the um harvested baby body parts from the baby chop shop known as Planned Parenthood is STEM Express, a California company.
Man by the name of uh Kate C A T E Dyer founded STEM Express L L C 2010.
They say that they assist the medical research community, like Planned Parenthood.
They assist the medical research community by providing researchers with maternal blood, umbilical cord blood, and human gestation tissue for research purposes.
You low information for you L I Vs, do you know what human gestation tissue is human gestation tissue?
That would be a baby's body from the womb.
Gestation tissue would be internal organs of a developing and growing baby in the womb.
STEM Express, that's the name of the outfit.
Our caller from uh our last caller from Iowa, he's exactly right.
The uh the audience that was gathered for this get together Saturday in in in Iowa, where Trump made these comments about McCain.
He said something.
This guy was exactly right.
What he said about McCain, it didn't cause much of a ruffle in there.
It just wasn't that big a deal.
This see, folks, this is my I I hate to keep I hate having to be redundant, but I I made this point I don't know how many times yesterday, and it still didn't get mentioned in all that was said and written.
And I don't think it was overlooked.
I I just I think it it somehow didn't register.
The point here is to me the important thing, apart This conventional wisdom about how you get rid of a Republican public figure.
There is an assumption, a Republican public figure says something that somebody in the media at first and then the political establishment finds unacceptable.
Just outrageous, such as I don't respect people who get captured.
I like people that don't.
I have no reason.
Whatever it is.
There is a presumption that guides everything in this.
And that presumption is that a majority of the American people, when they hear about it, are just as outraged as the media reporting it, and are just as demanding that the candidate be done away with as the media is.
And I have never seen proof of that.
Because these targets never stay in long enough.
They apologize, they ask for forgiveness, they grovel, and they go away.
And they don't hang around long enough to find out.
And I've thought this is part of the trick of getting rid of Republicans is this assumption that everybody.
This is what's bothered me about liberalism from the beginnings of time that I've been following it is this presumption that everybody is one.
There's clearly a presumption that a majority of people support gay marriage, and they don't.
And it's plummeting, by the way.
If I get to it today, the number of people now objecting to the Oberschwell decision Supreme Court is plummeting.
The gay mafia is panicking a little bit.
Because remember, it's not enough that they get what they want.
You must love them afterwards.
And if there's any lack of passionate support, then they panic and they've got a problem.
But this has always been one of the major frustrating things for me is this let me make it even simpler.
The idea that the mainstream media reflects majority public opinion.
I just reject that.
I don't believe it.
I look at polling data on the media, and I see most people don't hold them in high regard, and I see that most people think they're biased.
We're looking 70% now, think they're biased, untrustworthy.
So why in the world should we automatically accept that the media is speaking for a majority of people on every controversial issue?
I just whether whether it be part of the liberal agenda being advanced, or whether it be outrage at something some public Republican has said, and the opportunity we have, Trump is not playing by the rules of begging forgiveness, apologizing, flogging himself, and going away.
Trump is hanging in and doubling down, and now after today, he is tripling down.
And we're going to find out.
We're going to find out by way of polling data just what the American people think of this, rather than have us all be told what the media thinks and by association what the majority of the American people think.
By the way, I'll bet you I'm not the only one that you if if you happen to be a person who thinks we're losing the country, just give an example here.
If you happen to think that you, who believe in traditional values, the institutions that have defined this country's greatness, if you believe that the seminal Judeo-Christian values that formed this country, if you believe that we've lost them, that we are a minority.
Why do you believe that?
My continu you believe it because you get sucked into the way the media treats all this.
The media treats all this as though we and you are the kooks, a raging minority of kooks in a vastly changing country where you have just been blindsided and you have no idea what's happened except that you know you're in the minority now.
And I've never believed it.
I just have never believed it.
And I I just to use the example of the pizza shop in Indiana again, as that story was reported, got a lone local info babe went out and found that little pizza shop and found that little female proprietor who said she wouldn't cater a gay wedding, and all hell, bro.
You did you not think when you watched that, that every American in this country was Also outraged at that little pizza shop?
Didn't you get the impression that a majority of Americans were also upset and didn't that depress you because you thought, how can this be?
Well, I don't believe it.
I don't believe that a majority of Americans sided against that pizza owner.
I don't believe a majority of Americans side against a bakery or a photography shop that exercises its religious freedom not to participate in a gay wedding.
But what choice do you have?
You watch the media cover it, you listen to people talk about it, and you conclude that America's changed, and that you are in the minority.
And I just don't believe it.
By the way, as you know, and I've reported this countless times.
We have conducted research on the trolls on Twitter that mount campaigns against us.
It's it's it's it's 10 to 12 people who have come up with algorithms and violating Twitter rules, but who've made themselves look like they are thousands.
Illustrative example, not going to name a business, I'll make one up.
The XYZ widget company in Oshkosh.
They decide to advertise on the Ashkosh affiliate EIB network, and all of a sudden, they are inundated with tweets and emails from thousands of people, or maybe hundreds.
They get scared.
Oh my God, oh my god.
We have found that 90% of those emails come from out of state.
They're not even customers, potential customers.
It's all a manufactured campaign.
And it's 10 to 12 people who make themselves look like thousands.
And I'm telling you, that's happening throughout.
That's what Twitter is.
That's what the underbelly, the sewer of Twitter is.
That's who lives there.
Those are the people who've made it their home.
And I do not believe that's the majority of America.
And I think it happens not just to me, it happens to everybody.
And I believe it's happening to Trump on this McCain business, and I believe it's it's happened to uh any number of Republican public officials, uh politicians, you name it.
But my I guess the point that I'm really trying to drill home, which I did yesterday, and I'm gonna drill it home enough so everybody understands what I'm talking about.
For all of this to work, for all of this supposed mass outrage, supposed at these outrageo statements.
Uh Trump and his McCain's statement, the idea that the media outrage represents a majority of the American people is just Balder Dash.
Why do you think as an element of proof here?
Why do you think the media will not report an iota of the Planned Parenthood story?
Believe me, folks, if a majority of the American people were actually pro-choice and pro-abortion, no matter what, and if a majority of the American people were not bothered by this at all, Planned Parenthood would be a star today, and the drive-by media would be putting them on a pedestal.
Instead, the drive-by media and the Democrat Party and Democrat elected officials are ignoring what we've learned about Planned Parenthood.
Why?
Because it's nowhere near representative of a majority of thought in this country.
Truth is the majority of thought in this country is repulsed, sickened, and outraged by this.
And that's why it's not reported on.
And if they could figure out a way to report this and make it look like it isn't any big deal, and most Americans don't have a problem with it, they would.
Thank you.
But they can't because they can't find a Hillary Clinton to come out and give it her stamp approval.
And they can't find a John Kerry or a Chuck Schumer or a pick your democrat to publicly endorse what we've learned about what Planned Parenthood's doing.
So from this instance, we are able to learn the truth that this is really, really fringe, sick stuff that has been made to appear in all these previous years, as though a majority of Americans love Planned Parenthood, want Planned Parenthood to get federal money.
Don't mind their taxes going to Planned Parenthood.
Don't think there's anything wrong about what Planned Parenthood is doing.
We've been peppered with this for 25 years.
If so, why are they not doing this story?
Proves itself.
Another timeout.
Sit tight, back with more in just a moment.
Ramson by 22, Donald Trump not letting up pedal still to the metal.
This is in uh Bluffton, South Carolina.
He's at a campaign event.
And he's speaking about Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham.
A total lightweight.
Here's a guy in the private sector.
He couldn't get a job, believe me.
Couldn't get a job.
He couldn't do what you people did.
You're all retired as hell and rich, okay?
He wouldn't be rich.
He'd be poor.
And then I watched this idiot Lindsey Graham on television today, and he calls it me a jackass.
He's a jackass.
You gotta admit, folks, this is not the way you're used to things happening in political campaigns.
Uh candidate talked about how rich he is, how rich his supporters in the audience are, how stupid jackass dumb his opponents are.
You just you just don't hear this.
Yeah, I I saw that.
I go by here on the uh one of the monitors that they apparently gave out Lindsey Graham's phone number.
There's got to be a context for that.
Uh and I don't know what it is, but yeah, supposedly he gave out Lindsay Graham's phone number.
Then also from the same campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina, this audio sound by 23.
This is Trump talking about Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham.
Bush said, my tone's not nice.
My tone.
I said, Tone, we need tone.
We need enthusiasm.
We need tone.
It's true.
But they said, and actually Hillary Clinton said, I don't like his tone.
We got people having their heads cut off, Christians in the Middle East.
We have people that are being dunked in cages and drowned in the Middle East.
And they're worried about my tune.
They're worried about my tune.
Hillary's worried about my tone.
Yeah, he doubled down.
So there's uh Lindsey Graham is uh stupid.
Couldn't get a job in the private sector.
And as you know, the Des Moines Register came out with an editorial today demanding that Trump get out, that he's silly, that he's a waste of time, that he's a reprobate, that he's all these horrible rotten things.
So Trump put a response on Facebook.
And it reads, I'm not at all surprised by the Des Moines Register's sophomoric editorial.
It was issued immediately after the release of the ABC News Washington Post poll, showing me with 24% and an 11-point lead over my nearest rival.
As one of the most liberal newspapers in the United States, the poll results were just too much for them to bear.
The Des Moines Register has lost much circulation, advertising and power over the last number of years.
They'll do anything for a headline.
And this poorly written non-endorsement got them some desperately needed ink.
On the campaign trail in Iowa, a state whose people I have truly gotten to know and love, I have been treated very badly by the Des Moines Register.
They were uneven and inconsistent, but far more importantly, very dishonest.
They would rarely write the facts or report what really took place.
They never captured the energy of each event.
And it's a constant battle with them by my representatives to get an accurate count of the large crowds that I draw.
They know the very impressive numbers and either reduce them or don't report them at all.
It's always wonderful to have the support of a newspaper, even a failing one, but this has only given me more motivation to fight harder in Iowa and make America great again.
So the pattern here is whoever utters the slightest critical word of Donald Trump, they are going to get hit back.
He does not subscribe to the old adage of ignore it.
And don't respond to reply reply to it.
He replies to it, he elevates it, he tells people who didn't know that the De Moines Register had editorialized against him, and he tells everybody that they did, and then he rips him.
And my my point again is we haven't seen that the Perot didn't do this.
John Anderson, third party candidate, 1980, didn't do this.
The American people have not seen anything like this in a long time.
And the beauty of Trump staying in forever how long is we're gonna find out what the American people actually think of this.
At least as far as we can trust polling data results.
Okay, we got the audio coming up of this.
The phone number, Trump, Lindsey Graham giving it out.
He claims that Lindsey Graham some time ago begged him to help him get a job at Fox or put in a good word for him at Fox for an analyst job at some.
And Trump said he would.
