Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, I actually don't know where to start today.
I mean, it's overload.
I missed one day, and it just, it's, this is an editing nightmare today.
I mean, there's literally so much stuff here.
So the best I can tell you is we can't do everything here in the opening segment, folks.
So you're just going to have to hang in there and be tough and trust.
And we'll get to all that matters.
If I don't talk about it, it's not worth knowing.
You can always trust that, too.
Great to be back.

So I'm going through the audio soundbites today.
One of the things that I made a point to do, and I find out that I'm the only guy in America that has a problem with the Pope.
And every soundbite I have here where I am mentioned is filled with inaccuracy after inaccuracy after inaccuracy, things I've supposedly said.
And about some other things, too.
So there's that on the edge of Boehner, of course, in the aftermath of that.
The Pope's visit concluding.
Interesting, interesting anecdote to tell you about that, to give you an indication.
Remember, point I made on Thursday, which I think is a profound point, because it relates to how we attempt to educate people, how to inform people.
You know, one of my quests here from the beginning has been to inform people, educate people, sort of train people, if you will, to spot liberalism.
The belief that liberalism is the source of the vast majority of our problems.
Clearly not all, but the vast majority, liberals and liberalism, and the more people train to spot it, I think have always believed that it'd go a long way to go in defeating it.
I think it does need to be defeated.
And the left pulled off an amazing feat last week that I commented on on Thursday, and I've got a little anecdote to build on it.
And the point I made last week was, okay, here you have Pope Francis, who is traveling the world enunciating clearly, I don't care what you want to call me for pointing this out, but you have a Pope, the Vicar of Christ, who's out articulating a left-wing agenda.
It's such a left-wing agenda that Obama has adopted it and is in fact hiding behind the Pope and using the Pope to advance his own agenda.
Just pointing that out causes people to throw daggers at me.
But here's the point.
It's not just the Pope.
One of the quests that we've had here on this program is to try to get people, even now, even when he's supposedly in lame duck status, which isn't the case either, has been to try to instruct people on just how radical and how extreme Obama is and his agenda.
But how tough is that to do when Obama regularly co-opts the Speaker of the House?
When he co-opts the Republican leader in the Senate, McConnell, when he is able to co-opt the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and then finally added to that list, and there's many more on it, but you add to that list, here comes the Pope, Pope Francis.
I mean, these are all people considered to be not radical, not extreme.
They're just mainstream people.
And you realize how difficult it is to try to portray Obama as he really is for what he really is, the true radical extremist, when all of those other people appear to be at home with him and on the same team with him, agenda-wise.
It's just really, really difficult.
It's almost impossible.
Talking about low-information voters here, it's almost impossible to try to tell people that Obama is this extreme leftist whose policies have wrought great harm when all these other supposedly mainstream people are on the same page with him.
Really, really tough.
You just add the Pope to that and it gets even tougher.
And I'll show you how it works.
I have a friend of mine who is every bit the conservative I am, who is probably more alarmed about Obama than even I have been, if you can believe that.
This guy constantly is telling me I'm not going far enough in my criticism of Obama and in my predictions of what all of this means.
He's not a kook, not a tinfoil hat guy.
He's constantly telling me that I need to go a little bit further than what I'm doing because there's more to be told than I am telling and people need to know, blah, blah, blah.
So when this current Pope comes upon the scene, my friend sends me emails.
I don't talk to people on the phone because I can't.
So everything is by email or text message, what have you.
He says to me, look out for this guy.
And he's Catholic, but look out for this.
This is.
And then he sounded all the usual warnings about how this guy is using the papacy to advance a left-wing economic and social cultural agenda.
He's very, very worried about it.
And he said, you need to keep people on up to speed on this, blah, blah.
So apparently the Pope on the weekend, Friday night or Saturday, was in Philadelphia and apparently delivered just one heck of a great, great speech about the Declaration of Independence in America and liberty.
And I get a note from this guy, my friend.
He says, you know what?
I may have been wrong.
I may have been wrong.
This guy gave what is Popeye.
So this guy, one of the best speeches I have ever seen.
I may have, this guy sounds like Rush.
He sounds like he totally gets it.
And he was just going on and on and on about how wonderful the Pope's speech was and how meaningful it was.
Speech at Independence Hall.
Was respectful of the Declaration, individualism, religious freedom.
And my friend said, maybe I got it wrong.
And I wrote back and I said, see, this is how difficult it is.
Even you now have been persuaded to abandon what you know to be true.
And I reminded him all of these months prior where he's been warning me of all of these terrible left-wing things that are happening right in front of everybody's eyes that nobody's seeing.
He warning me about the Pope being a wolf in sheep's clothing regarding a political agenda as well as being Pope and so forth.
And in one speech that hit a home run, was able, that speech was able to make my friend forget everything he knew.
He sends me this note claiming he had gotten it all wrong.
So I wrote him back and I said, see, this is exactly how it happens.
Look at you.
And I reminded him, you've been warning me.
You've been telling me I need to ramp it up.
You've been warning me that this Pope is disguising who he is with a left-wing agenda and so forth and so on.
One speech makes you forget all that.
And I said, now, I said, this is how it happens.
So because of that one speech that you heard the Pope give, you've forgotten everything that he said during the week that you disagree with.
He said, yeah, you're right.
You're right.
I guess that's why they pay you the big bucks.
But this is how it happens, folks.
This is why the co-opting of Boehner and McConnell has been so bad.
It's not just what Boehner and McConnell did or didn't do.
It is that they, by their actions and inactions, contributed to creating the illusion, and believe me, it is, that Obama is a mainstream, harmless, certainly not a radical politician when he is the most radical elected president we have ever had.
Well, not elected, radical president, period, however we've had presidents.
But when you have these so-called Republican mainstream leaders helping his agenda along, not opposing him, and in fact, opposing what they call the crazies in their own party, how can you expect low-information voters to accept the premise that Obama is a radical?
How can you expect anybody to believe that with all this other evidence that seems to contradict it?
It just gets harder and harder and harder to do.
And I would remind you of the John O'Sullivan law.
And that is that any organization that is not demonstrably conservative day in and day out will become liberal.
It just does.
If someone or group is not actively conservative, practicing it, enforcing it, whatever it takes every day, they will become liberal.
And this is what's happened to the Republican Party in a sense.
So now Obama's up at the UN today, and he basically spelled out what he intends to do for the rest of this term.
There's so much fraud.
Snerdley came in and he said, what's this NASA news?
This NASA news all exciting.
He said, yeah, they found flowing water up there.
No kidding.
Wow.
Wow, Snerdley said, flowing water on Mars.
I said, why does that excite you?
What do you go in there next week?
What's the big deal about flowing water on Mars?
I don't know, ma'am.
It just, it just, wow.
I said, you know what?
When they start selling iPhones on Mars, that's when it'll matter to me.
I said, what do you think they're going to do with this news?
I said, look at the temperature data that has been reported by NASA has been made up.
It's fraudulent for however many years.
There isn't any warming.
There hasn't been for 18 and a half years.
And yet they're lying about it.
They're just making up the amount of ice at the North and South Poles.
They're making up the temperatures.
They're lying and making up false charts and so forth.
So what's to stop them from making up something that happened on Mars that will help advance their left-wing agenda on this planet?
And Snerdley paused, oh, oh yeah, you're right.
You know, when I play golf with excellent golfers, I ask them, does it ever get boring playing well?
Does it ever get boring hitting shot after shot where you want to hit it?
And they all look at me and smile and they say, never.
Well, folks, it never gets boring being right either, like I am.
But it doesn't mean it is any less frustrating.
Being right and being alone is a challenging existence.
So, okay, so there's flowing water on Mars.
Yip, yip, yip, yip, yahoo.
You know me.
I'm Science 101, big-time guy, tech advance it.
You know it.
I'm all in.
But NASA has been corrupted by the current regime.
I want to find out what they're going to tell us.
Okay, flowing water on Mars.
If we're even to believe that, what are they going to tell us that means?
That's what I'm going to wait for.
Because I guarantee you, let's just wait and see.
This is September 28th.
Let's just wait and see.
Don't know how long it's going to take.
But this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda.
I don't know what it is.
I would assume it would be something to do with global warming.
And maybe there was once an advanced civilization.
If they say they found flowing water, next they're going to find a graveyard.
And then they're going to be able to say in the graveyard is a dead, advanced civilization.
What killed them?
Global, who knows?
This is a bit, of course, of an extreme exaggeration, but this is what happens.
How many of you remember from the Pope's visit a five-year-old girl approaching the Pope, begging him to keep talking about illegal immigration and immigrants and so forth?
How many of you have seen that story, saw the video of it?
How many of you are aware of it?
For those of you who are, understand it was a setup.
The five-year-old girl was rehearsed.
The whole thing was planned out.
It's nothing more than a deep public relations campaign.
And so each and every day we are challenged here with just the daily news and trying to determine which of it is real and how much of it is totally fraudulent and made up in order to advance a particular political agenda.
That cannot be denied.
Yeah, you know, the real question, are the waters on Mars rising or falling?
Now that we've discovered flowing water, are the levels rising or falling?
It's wide open.
I know you might think that I'm a little bit off the beaten path here.
Fine and dandy.
You've thought that let's just wait and see.
Give it some time.
And I'm telling you, this is going to find its way into the left-wing science agenda, which is another element of our life or aspect that has been corrupted.
And by corrupted, I mean what is real is being masked or hidden and is instead being lied about.
Okay, so we've got that.
We've got Trump.
The news on Trump is that he and Carson are pulling dead even now almost.
It's a Wall Street Journal report.
Carson continues to rise on the basis of his comments about a Muslim president and how he wouldn't support one if they did not place the Constitution first.
The drive-by media paid some attention.
They're all ecstatic.
They think Trump has leveled off.
They think that it's peaked, that he may even now be on the downside.
Trump today announced his tax plan.
And already I'm getting emails from Rush, oh my God, oh my, this is the worst day of my life.
I just look at Trump's tax plan, and it's just like Obama's.
I said, it is?
Yeah, well, you see it.
It's just like Obama's.
Tax the rich.
No taxes for the middle classes.
I'll look into it.
Don't make up your mind until I've had a chance to go through it.
I'll tell you what to think about it, as I always do.
We've got all of the ramifications of Boehner resigning and all of people weighing in on why.
A lot of people wanting to take credit for this.
Others are looking forward to what it now means.
Kevin McCarthy going to be the new speaker.
Is that going to make any difference?
Mitch McConnell now is next in the crosshairs.
It's clear that the conservatives in Congress in the House of Representatives engineered this.
But it's like I also told sternly.
I really hate being a font here of pessimism because I'm not a pessimist.
And I'm not negative at all.
But how excited should we be to get rid of the guy after the damage has been done?
I mean, we want to take credit.
Everybody knew it's been widely understood now that as soon as Boehner got his day with Pope Francis, that was the bucket list being completed.
That was it.
Then he could retire.
And in fact, many of the conservative caucus are telling us that Boehner had agreed to go months ago and negotiated to hold on through the Pope, which they permitted to happen.
So anyway, that's a brief setting of the table.
There's still much more out there besides all these subjects.
Plenty of stuff.
I can't wait to get to all of it with you when we get back.
So don't go away.
So here we go.
Already in the email.
What do you mean, a five-year-old girl who gave the Pope that it was fake?
Look, a Los Angeles-based pro-illegal immigration group trained a five-year-old girl who approached Pope Francis during his parade in Washington for a photo op to promote amnesty.
Sophie Cruz, it's even in the Washington Post.
This is a Breitbart story.
But in the Washington Post of all places, Alicia Flores, executive director of La Hermanidad in Los Angeles, said that the group chose Sophie to approach the Pope after a similar plan worked in Rome involving another young girl, Raul Cruz, who came to the U.S. 10 years ago, then agreed to let his daughter partake in the plan so the Pope could hear their message.
In other words, this was a stunt, and it was organized by immigration advocacy groups that have tried to do the same thing and did do the same thing back in Rome.
This girl and her family were flown to Washington as part of a group of six children and 19 adults with the hope of delivering their message on immigration.
Now, the point, are you seriously criticizing a five?
No, folks, I'm not.
I'm just telling you that what you saw did not spontaneously happen.
A five-year-old girl didn't find miraculously her way to the Pope's parade and didn't coincidentally get close enough to the Pope to be able to hand him a message that she at age five personally crafted.
The whole thing was the result of rehearsals.
The little girl was chosen for the mission.
It was made to look real.
It was meant to tug people's heartstrings.
It was meant to soften opposition to illegal immigration.
And it worked as designed.
But none of it was genuine.
It was all a stunt.
And I only tell you this because this is how people on that side of the political aisle engineer things and how things get corrupted.
And people think what is real isn't or isn't real is.
Hi, how are you?
Great to have you back here, Rook, the Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Okay, I now have in my nicotine, formerly nicotine-stained fingers, the Trump tax plan, complete with some Trump excerpts about the tax plan.
It soundbites.
And we will get to that here in just a second.
I just need to do some Boehner stuff here.
Oh, by the way, thanks to Buck Sexton for being here on Friday.
This is how at the Value of Voters Summit in Washington.
It's held every year toward the end of September.
Marco Rubio was speaking and actually made the announcement to the crowd.
This is how it sounded.
How can it be that we sent a Republican majority to Congress and yet they're still not able to stop our country from sliding in the wrong direction?
And we'll see how things progress.
Just a few minutes ago, Speaker Boehner announced that he will be resigning.
Now that applause went on and on and on and on and on.
And it was over the top.
And this is something that a number of people have been attempting to make happen for months now, going into years.
And as is the usual case in the aftermath of something like this, there's all kinds, there are all kinds of stories.
And they run the gamut from who made it happen, who gets credit for it, who engineered it, why did it happen, what does it mean going forward, and all of that.
The most important aspect of this to me is that whoever is responsible for this is not through.
They are actually going now to target Mitch McConnell on the same basis.
Now, from what I understand, Ted Cruz was deeply involved in this.
To tell a long story very short, Cruz became aware very soon upon arriving at the Senate that he was going to have a tough time making a difference there because he was so outnumbered and because the leadership was so entrenched.
And the leadership in the Senate, just like the leadership in the House, and we've been through all the reasons.
I mean, I take the time to list them again, just was not going to stop Obama.
They weren't even going to try to make it look like they were going to stop Obama, except to people they were not telling the truth to at election time, us.
They were apparently very willing to tell us that they were going to do everything they could to stop Obamacare to reveal Obamacare.
I mean, you know the drill.
But never once did anything serious ever happen to derail, stop, slow down any aspect of the Obama agenda.
Now, the reasons for that are also multifaceted, and we've been through all of them.
But folks, the big reason for all of this is money.
At the end of the day, it's always about money.
It always has been about money in politics.
It's just more prevalent now than ever.
Do you know why we did the Iran deal, just for example?
Do you know why there isn't why the Corker bill exists as it does?
Do you know why there was never any serious effort to stop Obama in making the Iran deal?
Do you have any idea?
It was money.
There was a news story, I think it was the UK Daily Mail.
If not, it was something similar.
The Iranian national airline, such as it is, is falling apart.
Their aircraft are old, dilapidated, and because the sanctions have been in place, they've been unable to buy new aircraft, replacement aircraft, or parts to repair what they have now.
So basically, their national airline is a joke.
They in Iran, the Mullahs, have ordered a number of replacement aircraft made by Boeing.
Boeing, therefore, wants the deal.
But in order for the deal to happen, $150 billion in frozen Iranian assets needs to be unfrozen.
Now, Boeing is a contributor to the Republican Party.
I wish I could remember what newspaper I read this in.
On the top of my head, I think it's a Daily Mail, but it might very easily be something else.
But the bottom line was that Republican politicians, elected officials, basically had to please a very well-to-do donor, series of donors, that were going to be able to engage in new business with Iran if the sanctions were lifted.
And if you look at the Corker Bill, the Corker Bill, really all it was about was lifting the sanctions by statute.
Now, this is very important.
The Corker bill secured the sanctions being lifted by statute.
You know, I was watching the last Republican debate.
It was an exchange between Ted Cruz and I think it was Kasich.
And Kasich, they were having an argument about what you do if Iran cheats on the deal.
And Cruz was making it very clear that we were never going to find out if Iran cheated because they were in total control of the inspection process.
And they are.
If we want to lodge a complaint, it's 24 days before we can take action, and they have to grant us permission to come in.
But they, the Iranians, by virtue of this deal, do their own inspection first.
So it's a joke.
There is no inspection process.
There's no verification whatsoever.
And Kasich was saying to Cruz, look, if they violate it, we just slap the sanctions back on them.
And I'm yelling at the TV.
No, we can't slap the sanctions back on them.
They have been lifted by statute.
The sanctions have not been lifted temporarily, and they've not been lifted per se as part of the deal.
They have been lifted by virtue of the Corker Bill, which is a statutory law.
Now, the statutes have thus maintained that the Iranians are going to get their $150 billion whether they cheat or not.
And so the Iranian nuclear deal, when it comes to the debate in Washington, never really was about Iran and nuclear weapons.
It was about money, economic news.
It was about American corporations, and Boeing's not the only one that want to do business with Iran.
And when Iran's got $150 billion freed up, it's been frozen.
They can buy enough terrorism with that, have some left over to revamp their airline.
I'm going to have to find out what this is.
It was Bloomberg that had this story.
It was Bloomberg News that had the story that it was Boeing and Airbus combined that wanted to make a deal with Iran on new aircraft for this dilapidated Iranian airline.
Now, all the while this debate's raging, we are treated to story after story that the parameters of the debate center on whether or not it makes sense that Iran is permitted to get a nuclear weapon.
That was never what this was about.
And all of us were incredulous about the Corker Bill.
Why even do it?
Just if you're the Senate and you oppose Obama and you oppose Iran having nukes, just insist on the treaty clause.
Just insist on this being a treaty.
If you just do that, you solve the problem.
Then you need two-thirds of the Senate to ratify it, and it's not automatic.
But the Corker Bill went into action and reversed the whole procedure for the treaty and basically turned this into nothing more than a statutory elimination or lifting of sanctions.
So all the while these elected officials are telling us they're going to stop Obama and Obamacare, and they're going to stop Obama on amnesty and illegal immigration.
That's not what's going on.
What's going on is that their donors are demanding that they get this and that from the Republicans in terms of policy and votes.
And that's who the Republican officials in Washington, elected officials are loyal to.
So you can call that political system being corrupted or what have you.
The point is, Ted Cruz was aware of all of this, and he decided there was no way, since he's so vastly outnumbered in the Senate, that what he instead did was work with the conservative members in the House to strengthen them,
to focus them, and not that they needed it, but just to form some unity and have a coordinated effort that was aimed at Boehner's resignation, since Cruz was not going to be able to engineer a similar thing in the Senate because he was basically a party of one.
So there's any number of people who you might, if you want to consider this in a doling out of credit sense, Cruz is right there at the top.
But then you could also say that Mitch McConnell deserves a lot of credit, not because he wanted to get rid of Boehner, but just because of what he did.
Just because constantly bottling up anything that would stop Obama, never taking on the Democrats, this fear of a government shutdown.
Even this morning, I see some analysts on television, the worst thing that could happen is if there's a government shutdown.
I don't know what it is.
The Republicans just have this irrational fear of a government shutdown that is going to be the end of them and their 2016 presidential aspirations.
And you talk about blind.
There's an entire presidential campaign being waged out there, and a bunch of outsiders who've never been in politics before are leaving the whole process.
The insider experts, career politicians, you need a telescope to see them.
Their poll numbers are so low.
It's very clear what Republican voters and a lot of Americans want, and it's the exact opposite of what has been happening.
So it was a fait accompli at some point.
And I think Boehner Holding on until Pope Francis' visit.
That was a big deal to Moehner.
Didn't check that one off of his bucket list.
But he's still got some time left, and he's insisting that he's going to make the most of it, just like Obama is, with whatever time left that he has.
Got to take a brief time out, much more straight ahead, don't go away.
Kicking off a busy, brand new broadcast week, hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh, here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Go to the phones.
We're going to get some in the first hour.
This is Pete in Seattle.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you here.
Trippiesbats.com.
Oh, it's very soon.
Wait a minute.
Ken, I cannot understand a word you're saying.
Damn it.
Pete, hang on.
I'm going to see if we can get you on a different phone line somehow.
All right, let's try to.
Good afternoon where you are.
There it is.
Now I can hear you.
Thank you.
Honest people do not use the tactic of setting up plants in the audience.
That is something the Clintons do.
People that value truth don't need to do that.
You talked about the five-year-old girl that met with the Pope out of the crowd, out of all the people that wanted to see the Pope.
She goes running through security and gets in.
And then, of course, I find that worrisome that people adulate somebody that does things like that.
You can't blame them.
They saw it on television.
It was real.
This is the point.
This is deep, deep PR.
This is total devotion to the advancement of your agenda.
This is something that our side does not do.
I don't know if it's because our side doesn't even conceive of this kind of stuff, because, well, who knows why?
I could only guess that it isn't real.
They think if they try something staged like this, if they get caught, it's going to be exposed as a fraud, or it just doesn't occur to them for whatever reason.
Or maybe they're lazy.
I have no idea.
But the point is, they've done this with the Pope twice now.
They did it, don't forget, in Rome, and they've done it here.
They did it in Washington, D.C. And you can say that honest people don't do this.
And I would agree with you off top of that.
And people that are not confident are the people who do this.
People who think they have to stage events, stage manage events in order to make things look like something they are not, are people that are not confident of triumphing and winning by throwing whatever it is they believe out there and letting the people decide.
They have to stage manage it and they have to create these stunts.
But the point is, now after the fact, this happened in Washington.
So this is five days ago.
Here I come and whatever other news sources have this, Washington Post, Breitbart, here we come telling the truth about it.
It isn't going to be believed.
We're going to be seen as sour pusses.
We're going to be seen as people sour grapes.
They're going to say, you're just upset that Pope won.
You're just upset that the Pope is loved by people.
You're just upset you're not able to convince people.
So that's what people are going to say because they saw it on TV.
It was real.
They saw a little girl run out of the crowd.
They say, the Pope, stop.
They saw a little girl give the Pope a note.
Miraculously, the news media found out what the note to the Pope was.
And miraculously, it was made to look like even five-year-old little girls believe in illegal immigration.
The children even want illegal immigration.
What kind of people are we to stand in the way of the wishes and the dreams of five-year-old kids?
And this is the effect it has.
Remember now we're talking about ordinary, everyday, low-information voters who happen to see this live or happen to watch it later on the news.
It was real.
It wasn't staged.
At the time, nobody knew it was staged.
Some may have suspected, but you pointed out some days later, it's not to great effect.
We still do it.
We're interested in truth and people knowing the truth about how things happen.
I still have this belief that the more people that understand how the left does what it does and how they get what they get and how they make it look like they represent the majority of people when they don't, it's crucial to that day when we're able to say we beat them.
But it's made all that much more difficult, as I say, when you have Republican leaders signing on to the Obama agenda and when you have the vicar of Christ signing on to the Obama agenda, how in the world do you tell people that that agenda is an extreme left-wing radical agenda that's going to do great harm to this country?
How do you tell people that?
And Verdemore, how do you tell people?
You said, five-year-old girl, this whole thing was staged.
You look like the sour puss when you point it out, even though it's the truth.
Jeff in San Bruno, California, great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Diddos Rush, your credibility is why we listen.
My wife and I and those around us that follow politics find credibility through you.
So it's taken us as low-information voters over the last 17, 18 years I've listened to you and made it able for me to see liberalism in its ways.
And listening to the Pope, you were absolutely correct.
We were surprised by what he didn't say and surprised by what he did say.
I suspect a lot of people were.
It's just that nobody said so.
I mean, it's the vicar of Christ.
He's just not supposed to say these things.
And when somebody does, oh my God, you're, oh, geez.
It's just, it makes people uncomfortable.
I suspect that a whole bunch of people in the first two or three days of the Pope's visit were scratching their heads.
But what are you going to do?
I mean, these are people who lie to pollsters so that they're not found out.
They're not going to tell anybody what they really think of what the Pope was doing.
They'd rather not be known.
So it's left to the spear carriers like us here.
But that's fine.

You know, it's funny here.
The New York Times has a story.
You know, all this time they've been telling us that Boehner was the reason there was gridlock, right?
So now the New York Times has a story worried about what Boehner leaving is going to mean for gridlock.
So they're now admitting indirectly, but they're admitting the New York Times that Boehner was not responsible for the gridlock.
But that's not totally true either.
