Hi folks and welcome back.
Happy to have you with us as always, Rush Limbaugh, your guiding light.
Times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, despair, feelings of everything is lost.
I am your guiding light, and even during the good times.
Happy to have you with us.

If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushmow at EIBNet.com.
I'm not kidding.
I just watching on television here on the Fox News channel.
They've got this show at noon with all these uh they've got four women and some guy in there.
And it's uh called it's called one lucky guy.
I don't know what they call the show.
Anyway, they were talking about two baseball players who started crying at news they had been traded.
One of them, a player for the Mets, later learned that he had not been traded.
But they were discussing what it means.
Adult men crying over bad news.
And it's fascinating to me to watch this stuff.
Only one of these women seemed to have a problem with it.
The others thought it was great to see such a wonderfully emotionally bonded man, so upset over bad news in his career that he was crying about it.
The Lone Holdout said, I only want to see one man in my life cry, and that's my six-year-old baby boy.
Meaning it's understandable at age six.
But it is big news.
Regardless of what you think of it.
It made news that two athletes started crying over news they had been traded.
It is a different era out there, folks.
And if we have time, we'll get into it.
But obviously that's not that's not top drawer, but I did want to close the loop since I had briefly mentioned that at the conclusion of the previous hour.
Now, before uh one more thing on this lion.
Well, actually, not just one more thing.
A lot of people lined up to talk about this.
We have uh what happened to the guy that's yeah, make sure this guy on line three doesn't go away.
Get his number summon kid.
He's on a cell phone if we lose this connection.
He was at the uh protest yesterday for the patient, Walter Palmer.
Uh it's at times like this, where if you do anything or are perceived to be doing anything that uh constitutes going against the grain of the narrative, then you can easily end up being called a reprobate or heartless or cold or mean spirited or what have you.
And like I said yesterday, I when I saw that this lion had been killed, when I found out how and how needless it was.
You know, I love animals.
I love the I love everything uh about them.
Uh and I I hate the needless killing of them for sport like this.
It wasn't that this was this was senseless.
Um at the same time, I'm a realist here, and I I know how the whole animal rights movement has been elevated and used to advance the leftist agenda.
And I realize if you're new to this show and you hear something like that, you think it's crazy.
Are you kidding me?
You really believe animal rights are part of a political yes, I do, and the you know, the quicker you people who have that kind of reaction to me learn that I'm right about this, the much faster you're gonna learn the truth of things.
Because everything the left does, everything that if if you know what the left is Democrat Party, everything they do is political.
Every movement, every cause they have is a political cause designed to advance their agenda and eliminate opposition.
And the whole animal rights thing has been along since it's like around as long as I've been alive, and it has its as its objective the same thing global warming has.
And that is to establish the need for a growing and bigger government that controls more and more people, because the premise is people can't be left to run their own lives because they're irresponsible.
Look what happens if we don't regulate them.
They'll run out and they'll kill innocent animals.
We must have a government with a series of Regulations and laws and appropriate punishment for when this happens.
And then people, yay, yay, and they applaud their freedom away.
They applaud their liberty away.
And that's what the leftist agenda is all about.
It is predicated on the belief that you as a human being are incompetent to live your life in a way that the left, the Democrat Party would judge to be responsible and caring and compassionate and giving.
The animal rights movement is ideal for this because there isn't anybody that hates animals that is going to have any kind of a following.
Just like the environmental movement, nobody wants dirty air.
Nobody wants dirty water, but the way they set it up, if you oppose them, oh, you must be for dirty air.
Oh, you must not have a problem with dirty water.
No, I don't like those little.
I just so it's it's brilliant the way they set these things up, and they get remembered I said yesterday.
Liberalism is the pursuit of the emotional.
It is much easier to build a movement and attract followers, connecting to them emotionally than it is intellectually.
And conservatism, for everything else it is, is an intellectual pursuit, in addition to whatever else it is.
And there's nothing intellectual, pursuit or otherwise about liberalism.
It's all emotion.
And it's all feeling and wanting to feel good and not wanting to feel guilty.
And so it's all that's capitalized on.
So if you come along now, we've got this circumstance for Cecil.
Cecil, we named a lion.
And by the way, I, ladies and gentlemen, and have as guilty as anybody else of something.
Uh I years ago, 25 years ago, on this program, explained one of the most brilliant techniques of the animal rights movement and the left.
And that is, and by the way, they didn't need a whole lot of help because we humans do this ourselves anyway, when left to our own devices.
But we humanize, particularly our pets.
We treat them and think of them much as we do other people.
We assign them human feelings, we assign to them human emotions and human instinct, and we treat them as such.
And then when we were children, what did we do?
We read books about animals cute and cuddly that talked and had normal human lives.
And so all animals, in including the vicious predator animals that will kill you just for looking at you, are made warm and cuddly and innocent and untouchable, unapproachable.
And as I say, I myself am as guilty as anybody because I'm writing children's books with a talking horse that time travels.
So I'm, you know, it it's it's it's something that is a time-honored technique.
So any time you come up with information, it goes against the grain of a popular narrative.
Do you remember, snerdly?
This had to be very early on in the program.
Remember, a couple of I think it was dolphin or porpoises, some some couple of fish were caught in Canada in an ice flow, and they couldn't get out.
And it became a big story about how we were trying to help these two fish, whatever they were, get out of the trap they were in.
And I remember back then people call it, well, it's just a couple of fish for crying out aloud.
Why are we covering this wall to wall?
I mean, callers are asking me, angry, why is this all over TV?
And I tell you why.
It's because those two fish.
So this is exactly what I said yesterday about Cecil the Lion.
By the way, you think Cecil knew his name was Cecil?
Do you think Cecil knew he was a lion?
No way.
Does a fish know it's in water?
No.
Cecil didn't know he's a lion.
And he doesn't know that he had a name or didn't know.
And by the way, his sidekick, as he's been referred to today, Jericho, he doesn't know that his name is Jericho.
Well, he might react to the name if he's, but he doesn't know he's a lion.
All he knows is he's got to kill something today to stay alive.
Which is what I mean if if if an animal kept a calendar, every day would say kill something and eat it.
Next day, kill something and eat it.
In the wild.
Now see, I'm creating enemies.
I'm making it by that's so unfair.
So unfair.
And then you start trying to explain that there is no equality in the animal world.
And there's you want to talk about animal rights when you watch.
Did you see the video of a what kind of it was a folks?
I'm not kidding about this.
It's gonna make you sick.
I actually saw the video of some kind of snake actually devour a whole crocodile.
I was it a boa constrictor.
This it it it it but and it took a month to digest, and they had pictures of the whole alligator being digested.
Now you could bring a little kid to the video, say you want to talk the rights of the alligator here.
No, and mean snake, why wouldn't this snake has to eat?
Okay, so here's the news.
And this is from an op-ed, March 17th, 2013, New York Times.
Are you ready?
Wait for it.
Saving lions by killing them.
See, I'm gonna be hated here.
I didn't write the story, all I did was find it.
It's in the New York Times two years ago, a little over two years ago.
It was written by Alexander Sangola, who is the director of wildlife for the Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism.
From the op-ed, odd as it may sound, American trophy hunters play a critical role in protecting wildlife in Tanzania.
The millions of dollars that hunters spend to go on safari here every year, help finance the game preserves, wildlife management areas, and conservation efforts in our rapidly growing country.
That is why we are alarmed that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is considering listing the African lion as endangered.
Doing that would make it illegal for American hunters to bring their trophies home.
Those hunters constitute sixty percent of our trophy hunting market, and losing those hunters would be disastrous to our conservation efforts.
He didn't say disastrous to our economy.
Disastrous to our conservation efforts.
So here's an op-ed from a game preserve warden in the New York Times two years ago, saving lions by killing them.
Now, do you think anybody seeing that headline is gonna care to understand what they're just gonna write that off as some lunatic oddball weirdo?
I've always said, if you have a species that's endangered and you want to save it, eat it.
How can you say that?
That's so mean!
That's so oh my god, do you really mean that you can't possibly mean that, Mr. Wimble?
Well, let me ask you, little Johnny, are cows on the endangered species list?
Are chickens on the endangered species list?
No, no.
Why is that, little Johnny?
Well, because there's whole book of gobs of them.
There's lot That's right.
Why are there gobs of them?
Uh, well, just because God made it that no, there's gobs of them because they are produced so that we can survive ourselves.
We we consume them.
We eat them.
It's just so mean, it's just so mean.
So if there is an animal that's on the endangered species list, and if it's edible, Turn it loose.
Make it part of the human diet, and there'll be more of those animals.
Some free market entrepreneur farmer will come in and start raising those animals to supply the need.
Now I realize talk like this.
This is blasphemy in the era here of Cecil the Lion.
But that's what I like to do.
Inject.
No, I'm not talking about eating Cecil.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not the that this guy's not talking about eating lions.
He's the hunting them creates more of them because the game preserve needs to attract the hunters.
So they the conservation people take steps to make sure that the lions in their preserve have circumstances where reproduction happens and takes place.
They encourage it.
There are more lions because there are hunters than there otherwise be.
This was the guy's point writing the op in the New York Times.
This is not to excuse this dentist.
This is a whole different thing.
This this what this dentist did, what he was led to doing, whatever the nature of the truth here is.
Uh this this lion was w was was not someplace for hunting uh should have been taking place.
This that's not the purpose this lion served.
So I'm don't don't I'm not conflating the two or but but I'm just trying to be the mayor of Realville here.
Okay, time to take a break.
We'll do that.
And the planned parenthood videos are coming.
The ones, even though they got a TRO out in California, the group still released the fourth series.
And it's just gets sicker, folks.
I mean, it's so sick, I kind of keep avoiding this and putting it off.
Having to face this, because it's just talk about inhumanity or inhumane.
This is just you to not who we are.
That's what this is not who we are.
You know, Obama loves to say that's not who we are.
As a world, as a nation, that's not who we Well, sadly, we're damn close to this being who we are.
That's what's wrong with this.
So I've been putting it off and putting it off, but we'll have to get even Mrs. Clinton's been caught up in this.
She says it's disturbing.
Do you realize that's that is amazing to get Hillary Clinton to say something negative about this?
That's just and she has to for political purposes.
So sit tight.
We're gonna get to phone calls on this stuff too after we get back here, so back before you know it, folks.
Do not go away.
By the way, I stand corrected.
I have been told that the lion's name is indeed pronounced Cecil, named after Cecil Rhodes of Rhodes Scholarship fame, and also of the uh the country Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe.
And here's Greg in Richville, Minnesota.
Greg, you're up first.
It's great to have you here.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush.
Glad to talk to you.
Thank you.
Well, I was at the uh protest yesterday, and uh uh Dr. Walter Palmer is my dentist, who is a very decent individual who I believe to not have violated any law knowingly.
What I witnessed out there was what you've often talked about is mind-numbed robots.
These people are out there screaming for his death, for his extradition, for his hanging, for his murder with signs that you you know there's a deep place for you in hell, there's a cavity waiting for you, you know, to be buried in, and uh little stuffed animals were placed up against the front door with signs.
Um I saw that I saw these people must take it a day off from Twitter to show up.
Probably so.
Well, what I did is I I walked around uh feigning like I was taking people's pictures with my less than smart phone, uh aka foot phone, and uh after I pretended to take your pictures, I'd say post this, post this, and I probably saw at least half a dozen eight people walk away after I did that.
And I just did that just to you know put it in their face.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't understand.
After they thought you took their picture, they left.
Yes.
What are you saying?
That it's only they only just wanted to be shown uh as being there, then they left.
They just wanted to be there, but they didn't want to be known for being there.
Oh.
Oh.
So I asked the police if I could take down the signs on his front door that were calling for his uh you know, his extradition and the fact that he deserves a place in hell.
And they said, Well, no, no, not really, you know, uh, it's kind of like a freedom of speech issue.
And I said, Well, all right.
And uh I I got engaged in a conversation with a couple of individuals that uh actually had a good point to make from their perspective, and we had a respectable dialogue.
But you know, the the thing of it is I cannot believe how these people bring their little kids there and get the little kids to chant and chant and chant, you know, so it's oh.
It just went on and on.
It just made me look at it.
What do you mean you can't believe that?
Pardon me?
What do you mean you can't believe that's the essence of this kind of stuff?
Well, you know, I never went that's where these little skulls full of mush are trained and inculcated.
Yes.
I had never seen it for myself.
I've heard it talked about, but it was unbelievable.
Yeah, now that that is a big you see this stuff happen on TV or you hear it reported about when you s when you see one of these mobs and you are within close proximity, maybe even in the middle of it, you find out exactly who these people are and how dangerously manipulable and mindless they are.
And then you realize they all vote Democrat, and then you get depressed.
And we stay with the phones for a couple minutes here.
Eric in Latham, New York.
Hello, sir.
Rush.
Yes.
Mega Ditto Squared.
Appreciate that.
Thank you very much, sir.
I don't know if you were watching this morning.
I had um I had CNBC on, and the government now has a new formula for calculating the GDP.
Yes, we predicted this.
We what a prediction.
We told you that they were gonna revise the way they c they calculated GDP so as not to have to report how bad it is.
This was some months ago.
What has happened is typically what happens is they report the number, And then there's two or three revisions.
Well, the final revision had been done on the first quarter and it was negative.
It was negative point two.
Well, with the new formula, they've been able to revise that because there's a new formula.
Now it's positive.
Yes, I have that story right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
I anticipated somebody calling about this today.
And right here it is.
I have it from Bloomberg, but CNBC, it's six and one half dozen the other.
The headline is don't go away here, Eric.
GDP rises two point three percent second quarter, first quarter revised upwards.
Now he's right, the first quarter was negative, zero point nine percent.
But now there have been uh revisions.
And uh what is the new number?
It's like two point uh three.
That's second quarter growth.
They're they're reporting two point three in a second.
The first quarter has been revised up to uh uh uh last year Well, no, the two point one percent GDP for the first quarter of uh of last year has been revised to a negative zero point nine and new adjustments.
Now I'm now I'm confused what it is, but you're right.
They've they've changed the whole formula.
They announced they were going to, so that the GDP is calculated a different way so that it never is portrayed to be as bad as it really is.
And that's part of managing the decline and and establishing the new normal, like the unemployment number.
The same thing is happening there.
They're revising that over and over again.
There's no way, for example, we're five point seven percent unemployment right now.
That's not possible.
But it's also spun as if two point three percent is good.
Yeah.
Oh, that's the current number.
Now wait a minute.
I thought the weather's been good here in the second quarter.
That's right.
They gave the weather as the excuse for the zero point nine percent in the first quarter.
And the the percent?
Shouldn't it be five percent?
Because we've had pretty good weather.
It should be five percent if we had real recovery economic growth going on here.
You're exactly you're exactly right.
But this is part of defining the new normal.
Here's the Wall Street Journal story.
The worst expansion since World War II was even weaker.
The economic expansion, already the worst on record since World War II, is weaker than previously thought, according to newly revised data from 2012 to 2014.
The economy grew at an all-too familiar rate of 2% annually, according to three years of revised data released by the Commerce Department today.
That is a.3 percentage point downgrade from prior estimates.
And it'll probably be downgraded, revised down again in the coming years.
But no, you're exactly right.
The regime today is reporting a GDP of 2.3% as though it is glorious news.
I think we're going to look back on this era as the era of false numbers.
Because it's got to come out someday.
I mean, numbers don't lie.
Well, numbers lie all the time.
Numbers can be made.
If you write the numbers, if you control the calculation, you can make the numbers whatever you want them to be, which is what is happening here.
But I agree with you.
And you're kind of echoing a point that I made yesterday.
And that is a hundred years from now, Americans are going to be looking back at this era with utter shock.
They're going to learn what was discovered going on at Planned Parenthood.
They are going to read how the people in charge made excuses for what they were doing.
Killing babies in the womb and harvesting the organs, supposedly for research.
This hundred years from now, this this is going to be looked.
People are not going to believe that that kind of thing, this kind of thing that is routine, actually happened in this country.
And if I'm wrong about that, if a hundred years from now that kind of news does not shock people, then this isn't going to be the kind of country we want to contemplate anyway.
But I think it's going to be.
We always have cyclical valleys and hills and peaks.
And we're definitely in a down valley right now, culturally, generationally.
We're going to recover from this.
That's the history of the country.
We always do.
We always have.
And at some point down the road in the future, when the people writing history today are no longer around to write it, and there's an opportunity for a more objective look back, because the facts here will not be able to be erased.
There's now an alternative media, alternative history writers.
So the facts of what's being learned today, what's happening, will always survive.
And I'm telling you, people are going to look back, and like you say, look back at the economy.
And they're going to look back at, with an objective look back, at just how stagnant, unproductive, flat, or worse this economy was.
And they're then going to read, the American people were gloriously in support of the administration responsible for it, and they're going to scratch their heads, and they're not going to understand it.
And hopefully, it would be a learning experience.
That never again would people responsible for what's happening in our country today be elected and given positions of power.
Sadly, that's the thing that hasn't been learned.
Okay, to the Planned Parenthood audio sound bites.
I finally worked up the courage to get to this.
This is the we just have two of these.
This morning on the Center for Medical Progress website, they released uh undercover video of vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Denver, Dr. Savita or Gind, I'm not sure how.
Looks like Gindy, G H or G I N D E. I'll just say Gindy.
Savita Gindy and an unidentified actor posing as a buyer, discussing a potential partnership to harvest baby body parts.
You're talking about an intact fascinating.
How many of those do you see?
Anywhere as low as three up to seven.
Intact?
Intact is probably less than ten percent.
Sometimes, you know, if we get if someone delivers before we are able to see them for procedure, then we are intact.
Do you know what intact is here?
What is an intact fetus?
Does somebody want to take a stab here?
No, no.
An intact fetus is a baby.
That's what's being discussed here.
Well, this is the buyer.
This is a person participating in the uh in the sting, if you will.
So when you're talking about intact specimens, how many of those do you see?
Planned parenthood.
Well, anywhere as low as three up to seven.
Intact?
Intact is probably less than ten percent.
Sometimes you know, if we get if someone delivers before we're able to see them for procedure, then we are intact.
You know what they're talking about here?
They're talking about birth.
They're talking about live fetuses being born.
That's intact.
If someone delivers, what is that?
You deliver a baby.
That's what uh happens in the hospital.
So if if if if someone delivers before we're able to see them for procedures, if they deliver before we're get to them to abort, then we're intact, and we're dealing with a baby.
Planned parenthood is telling this sting operator here in the video how they plot the sale of legally alive fetuses, which makes it a baby.
And then they admit, oh, yeah, we'll probably get caught in anti uh estates that are opposed to this, we'll probably get caught.
But there's certain places that will be permitted to do it.
So after having said, well, sometimes it's probably less than 10%, they're admitting it less than 10% of the organs harvested are taken from intact fetus from babies.
And they're talking about it as though it's just I don't I it's it's clear that these people at Planned Parenthood have they have something other than a soul.
There's something they're operating on something clearly foreign to most of us to be able to clinically discuss the harvesting of organs from newborn babies.
The way they're talking about it here, in a in a detached way.
I don't know how you uh do that.
And here's the here's the next little section of it.
There's a stomach, uh heart, and the kidney and adrenal.
I don't know what else is in there.
Arms.
Another boy.
You know what you just heard there?
Sifting through a dish of baby parts.
And there was enough to know that it was a boy.
And if you watch the video, you'll see what they're doing here.
What you just heard is the audio sifting through a dish of baby parts, and they determine it's a boy.
Now now that you know what that is, I want you to listen to this again, because it goes by fast.
It's just 11 seconds.
But here it is again.
There's a stomach, heart, and you kidney, and adrenal.
I don't know what else is in there.
Arms.
Another boy.
Here's a stomach and a heart and a kidney, an adrenal.
I don't know what else is in there.
Arms.
I don't see the legs.
Do you see the legs?
Another boy.
Note that it took me nearly two hours to get up the uh whatever.
Mustard or whatever to play this.
Whatever this is.
I I'm out of words here.
Okay, I want to try something here, folks.
It's going to be tough to pull off because I don't have eye contact with the broadcast engineer.
So we're going to have to do this digitally and electronically.
But you remember the piece we produced with Bob Torreselli denying that he had done anything wrong on the floor of the Senate, and we mixed that with his lawyer admitting what had been found in his home.
Three Rolex watches, 75,000.
I have done nothing.
15 fake passports.
I'm going to try to do this here.
I'm going to read from Planned Parenthood's press release, written for Ma Richard's daughter Cecile.
Interspersed with clips from Soundbite No.
Two here, Dr. Savita Gindy.
Sifting through a dish of baby parts.
and being all excited about it.
We have not had a chance to rehearse this, so we may have to take two or three stabs at this, but you will get the idea.
Yeah.
I'll start by reading the Planned Parenthood press release written for Ma Richard's daughter.
Planned Parenthood has been a trusted nonprofit provider of women's health care for nearly a hundred years.
Each year, 2.7 million people come to our health centers for high quality, non-judgmental, compassionate care.
Stomach, heart, and kidney and adrenal.
Since our very beginning, our health centers, providers, and patients have come under outrageous attacks, political and otherwise.
I don't know what else is in there.
Arms.
These attacks are not about us.
They are about the ability of women across the country to access health care.
Period.
The most recent attacks in this decades-long campaign against us at Planned Parenthood represent a new low.
Another boy.
We did it on the first day.
So that's that's one of the great ways of illustrating here.
Just in their own words.
Them defending themselves.
Up against the words on the video.
The excitement on the words from Dr. Savita Gindy.
Or Gind or Gind or what have I dunno how she pronounces it.
It's just sick.
And here's Joni Ernst, by the way.
This is from this morning on CNN.
And this is the only place you're seeing any pushback in Washington is with some of the new senators.
Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Alison Camaradas interviewing Joni Ernst, Republican Senator from Iowa.
You have uh sponsored a bill to defund Planned Parenthood.
The argument against that is they provide a whole host of services beyond abortion services.
They provide birth control.
They provide cancer screenings that tens of thousands of women and men rely on.
So what is your answer to that?
Huh?
My answer to that is yes.
We are uh planning on defunding Planned Parenthood through this legislation, but we are not decreasing the dollars that are available for those very important screenings and other services offered to women and to men, as you mentioned.
That money can be applied for by other facilities such as hospitals and community health centers.
Those dollars are still going to be there, just not available for Planned Parenthood.
The videos that have been released are extremely disturbing.
We want Americans to speak out against this.
Ben Carson up next and his reaction to all this in Mrs. Clinton.
Maybe uh Mrs. Clinton would go back and look at their history.
And uh look at the history of the person who was the major founder, Margaret Sanger, who she says she admires, who was a racist uh and believed in eugenics.
And go back and look at many of her quotations.
It's really quite disturbing that anybody would find someone like that a heroic figure.
We as a society have allowed our sensitivities to gradually be dulled, to the point where it takes something of this magnitude to begin to shock us when all along babies were being slaughtered.
That's last night on Bred Bear Show on Fox Doctor Benjamin Carson, uh, talking about Margaret Sanger, who was the founder of Planned Parenthood, who had an objective, and that was to rid the world of the lesser classes.
Just rid the world of them, not provide them health care or reproductive care, but to wipe them out.
That was her objective.
Okay, we got to take a brief time out here at the top of the hour.
