Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Don't look now, folks, but Barack Obama just said we're gonna send special forces that equals boots on the ground.
We're gonna send him into Syria, we're gonna send them into Iraq.
But don't worry, it's not any kind of a strategy.
Just a political tactic.
After saying he wasn't gonna do any of this, he's doing it.
But it don't even know why.
And anyway, we gotta go here, folks.
It's Friday, the Rush Limbaugh program.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
We don't have a strategy.
If I didn't know better, I'd say the Jeb Bush campaign was running our foreign policy here with Obama.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just I'm in a kind of a lighthearted giddy mood here today, folks.
We're sending boots on the ground to Syria and Iraq.
Obama said he wouldn't do that.
We're doing it.
But we're not doing it to win anything.
I've all of this is because of ISIS.
And ISIS is because of Obama.
Got out of Iraq, left a stable Iraq, created a vacuum anyway, that's how it goes.
Welcome, my friends.
Great to have you here as we wrap up.
Another exciting and busy broadcast week.
Here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, the telephone number 800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIVNet.com.
Toward the end of the program yesterday, we uh uh I don't know, it might have been the middle of the program, doesn't matter, on the program yesterday, shared with you a tweet sent out by the estimable Brit Hume of Fox News.
And it uh he sent the tweet out Thursday night during the debate on C. Oh, by the way, Rinch Prebis says never again on CNBC.
We're not gonna do that crap burger again.
Quote on crap sandwich.
He says they promised me that they wouldn't do what they did.
They promised me.
I just I just sit here.
Who are they?
The freaking Democrat media.
They promised you.
Yeah, they promised me that there would be at least one conservative on every panel.
At least one?
Oh.
Man, are we lucky?
They promised one.
I don't think there was one.
They don't even have one at CNBC.
Cudlow, depending on what you're talking about.
Um but but he said, We're so we're never going back there.
The candidates are saying, screw the RNC.
We are gonna get together ourselves and map out these future debates and uh and figure out how they should uh how they should go.
But but but uh uh everybody should be really applauding here.
Rinch Prebus says CNBC will not moderate another debate, and the RNC is reevaluating all the others after this crap sandwich.
Anyway, Britt Hume tweeted during the third of all the things going on in that debate Thursday night, of all the things to observe.
Brit Hume tweeted, I'm paraphrasing, Ted Crew is going on and on about all these fights that he's led.
Well, that ain't any big deal.
How about the fights that you've won?
And the answer to that is none.
A Fox News commentator watching the debate Thursday night, and that's what he noted.
So, last night on Fox, special report with Brett Bear.
Ted Cruz was invited to appear.
And Ted Cruz showed up because Ted Cruz goes everywhere.
Ted Cruz not afraid to answer tough questions no matter who poses them.
And you have to hear this, folks.
I'm on a if you missed the show last night, you have to hear these sound bites.
Brett Bear says, you definitely have led fights against Obamacare, against immigration, against the EPA, but Obamacare's still around.
Immigration's still exactly the same.
In other words, he picked up Brit Hume's tweet, and he's basically saying, Oh, yeah, you've led a lot of fights.
You haven't won any of them, so what do you say about that?
Let's be very clear on immigration.
I led the fight against Obama's amnesty against the gang of eight bill, which was championed by Barack Obama, by Chuck Schumer and Marco Rubio.
And I led the fight standing side by side with Jeff Sessions, and we defeated it in Congress.
Amnesty did not pass.
So you want to talk about fights.
A block is a legislative win.
Blocking something that is bad that is harmful is good.
So blocking, you're counting that as a win.
We all did.
I mean, if you stop it, I mean, we have the minority, we don't have the majority.
We stopped the gang of eight bill.
Ted Cruz led the fight against the established.
We would be living under amnesty right now if Cruz had not succeeded.
But they said, well, that's not a win.
I mean, now you that you're calling blocking legislation a win.
Cruz said blocking something that's bad is that harmful is good.
And he continued.
Following the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The Democrats came out with a massive raft of new gun control proposals.
I led the opposition against it.
I remember Chuck Schumer being on Sunday show saying they were in the sweet spot.
Nothing could stop this.
We defeated every one of those proposals on the floor of the Senate, defending the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
And he had another example, Israel.
I'll give you another example of standing and leading a fight and winning.
If you'll recall when Israel was facing rocket fire from Hamas, and the Obama administration canceled all flights to Israel.
And I publicly called them out and said, Did the Obama administration just launch an economic boycott on Israel?
They haven't done this for Pakistan, for Yemen, even much of Ukraine, and this was just months after a passenger airliner had been shot down with a Russian book missile.
Why did they put discriminatory efforts on Israel?
Within hours, the State Department's being asked, is this an economic boycott on Israel?
The heat and light and pressure became so great that they lifted the flight ban within 36 hours.
So you haven't won anything.
You've led a bunch of fights or you haven't won anything.
And he's able to recite rat tat tat without a single stutter, without forgetting where he was and what he was saying three different occasions where he has stopped the left in its tracks.
Which is what Republicans were elected to do in 2011 and 2012, although they didn't win, and 2014.
This is what they were elected to do was to go there and stop.
Before you can reverse direction, you have to stop the direction you're headed in.
And Cruz has mounted the efforts.
But I just I think I think it's noteworthy that uh an effort was made to cast aspersions on his efforts when he's the only guy in the Senate, or one of the very few who is attempting to stop any of this agenda of the Democrat Party.
Now, a companion story.
Oh, no, there's one more bite.
There's one more bite.
Brett Bair said, you know what?
The big thing about you that they all say is that you're divisive.
Senator Cruz, you're just divisive, and this is not the way things get done.
The question actually was a lot of people look at you, Senator, is a bit divisive when it comes to working with the other side.
This is Fox News.
The I don't know.
Please do not bombard them, folks, with do not tell them I told you whatever you do, don't it's not necessary.
I'm just I'm just making some observations here that I don't need my own crap sandwich with these people.
Just it is what it is here.
I'm just stunned that.
You can't work with the other side.
Establishment on parade here?
Anyway, Cruz had a great, great answer to this, and that's what I want to get to.
A lot of people look at you, Senator, as a bit divisive when it comes to working With the other side, and we see that in social media.
We see it in people who characterize you up on Capitol Hill.
If you're going to stand against Washington, Washington will fight back.
If you stand up against the Washington cartel, you get attacked by Democrats, you get attacked by the media, you get attacked by Republicans.
And so anyone who says I'm never divisive, that means they've never stood against Washington.
That's how you are not divisive is you don't actually take principled stands on anything.
People look back at Reagan with rose-colored glasses now and remember Sunny Optimism.
In 1976, Reagan primary Gerald Ford.
You want to tick off Republican leadership in Washington.
Come within an inch of beating the incumbent Republican president in a primary.
Washington politicians loathed Reagan.
Exactly right.
But the the point, I need to restate this, because it's just simple common sense.
Senator Cruz, they say you're divisive.
Yeah, well, uh, a whole lot of people disagree with what's going on here, and I'm standing up against it.
The only way not to be divisive would be to sacrifice everything I believe in and agree with this stuff.
Is that what we're here to do?
This is exactly what everybody thinks is wrong with compromise and working with the other side.
That's the definition of not being divisive.
Getting along.
Well, who runs the place?
As much as our Republican intellectuals like to think they're equal players, the Democrats run that town.
The Democrats run Capitol Hill, the Democrats run the party circuit, the Democrats run the media, the Democrats run everything.
And if you don't want to be divisive, you have got to sign on with them.
It is a badge of honor to be divisive.
The Republican Party, by definition, should be divisive.
The Republican Party, by definition, should be standing up against the Democrat Party and what Obama is doing.
By definition, as an opposition party, the Republican Party ought to be divisive.
But you see what a dirty word it is.
Oh, we can't have can't have divisive figures.
Divisive figures, what do they do?
They anger the independents.
Yes.
And then what happens?
Why, the independents, why, they leave immediately.
We're rock solid in the Republican camp for some reason, and then the Republicans disagree with what's going on in Washington, and the independents don't like it.
In a cut tail and run over to the Democrats.
Is that how this works?
And you throw government shutdown in there.
That's the I mean, that's a king of the hill definition of divisive.
You can cause heart attacks in the Republican establishment.
I'd love to remind people, Mitt Romney got vast majority of independence.
You're probably tired of hearing me say this.
It's a broken record, but there are facts galore that counter all of this supposed the belief system that the Republicans have developed inside the beltway.
Mitt Romney got, I mean, it was like 60% of the independent.
What is even close?
It was a slam duncan.
He lost the election by millions of votes.
But he did the right thing to get the independence.
This is why I have said over and over, folks, that these things the Republicans think they have to do to win the presidency are really well designed and brilliantly executed Democrat tricks.
Here you've got the Republicans believing they can't win anything if they don't get the independence.
And what that usually results in is a campaign aimed only at independence.
And then they've they've got them believing they can't get anywhere if you criticize Obama.
The low information voters don't like nobody likes Obama being criticized.
You don't like the president being criticized.
You better not do it.
So they don't.com, Democrats like what they hear from Paul Ryan.
Democrats are welcoming Thursday's changing of the Garden in the House, expressing optimism that newly elected Speaker Paul Ryan will have better luck managing the chamber than his predecessor John Boehner.
The Democrats say they're buoyed by Ryan's debut speech calling for more comedy, C-O-M-I-T-Y.
That means togetherness, cooperation.
And hoping the power shift will bring a new stability to the chamber and grease the skids for future legislative success.
Can I translate?
Do I even need to translate them?
Okay, let me translate this one.
The Hill.com.
Democrats say they are encouraged by Ryan's debut speech, calling for more agreement with them, hoping that this power shift will bring new stability to the chamber and grease the skids for future Democrat legislation to be signed by President Obama.
That's what they mean.
But see, we out here, we're supposed to react differently.
Wow.
Man, everybody loves Ryan.
That is great.
The Democrats love Ryan.
Now we can get things done.
Okay, cool.
Now we're now we're going place.
That's the reaction they want us to have.
Representative G.K. Butterfield, Democrat North Carolina, head of the Congressional Black Caucasians.
Yeah, you know, Paul Ryan, he seemed to suggest that he wants to work in a bipartisan way.
And I believe if he delivers on that commitment, we're going to have a better Congress and a better America.
Let me translate that for you.
G.K. Butterfield, Democrat North Carolina, head of the Congressional Black Caucasians.
Yeah, Ryan seemed to suggest that he wants to help us pass our legislation.
And if he delivers on that, we're going to have a much better Congress and a much better America, and we're not going to be bothered by any Republicans because their voters are going to abandon them.
Representative Rosa DeLaro, Democrat Connecticut, said she's hoping Ryan's allusion to the struggles of the working class will reignite the congressional debate over the minimum wage, child care benefits, and gender pay parity, issues the Democrats have long promoted.
No, issues the Democrats invented and hold hostage.
Representative Joseph Crowley, New York, who entered Congress with Ryan in 1999 was quick to hail the message.
He said it sounded an awful lot like a Democrat speaking.
I loved it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm serious.
Please do not send Bret Baer any emails, phone calls, faxes, uh tweets, whatever you do.
It's not necessary.
He's a good guy.
He's a nice guy.
I like him a lot.
And he's he's just a journalist.
He's he was asking crews questions.
He's asking crews questions that the Republican establishment believes that was they were they were hanging curveballs for Cruz.
That was a good exchange.
It was to do not get mad at Brett Bear.
It's a great thing that those questions were asked.
And the way they were asked, I mean, Cruz knocked him out of the park.
So don't don't get on their case there about please.
It's it's not.
There's no anger here.
The um the columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Daniel Hanniger, have quoted his work here over the course of the many years that I have been hosting this program.
And over the course of the many years that I've been hosting this program, because when I started, I was it.
I was the only talk show out there.
Now there's all kinds of them.
When I started this program, there were 125 radio stations that are doing talk as a format.
And today there's close to 2,000.
And it's been that way for a while.
I mean, the growth rate was phenomenal once this show took off.
You know, media's copycat, and there were national shows that sprung up.
My guest hosts got their god, they got their own shows, and then local radio stations wanted to get on in the act, and conservative talk radio just took off.
As such, it has become a thing.
Conservative radio is its own entity.
And these people in the media treat it as a monolith that everybody in it thinks and does the same Thing.
And of course, like all mistakes made about large groups of people, talk radio's not monolithic, but Mr. Henninger here has a piece in his column in the Wall Street Journal.
It's actually from yesterday.
It's called Paul Ryan and the Trumpians.
One day after the path cleared to Ryan's speakership, a subfaction of conservatives said they were furious at the Freedom Caucus, the conservatives in the House.
You've heard of road rage.
Well, politics now seems to have its own instant anger phenomenon.
Radio rage.
And that's fine.
The political raging on the radio's entertaining, a testament to the market system.
And I get lumped in with all this.
This whole monolithic thing, so whenever, in fact, I it usually is aimed at me if there's no name given.
Who is radio rage in this thing?
And I have not been raging at the conservatives in the House.
It's open line Friday.
Callers pretty much a free reign.
Whatever they want to talk about's fine and dandy, fun and games, 800-282-2882.
No one saying, look, here's the thing.
I have cited Daniel Henniger, the Wall Street Journal's work, I can't say how many times, and always favorably, because he's uh frequently comes up with you, and this is hard to do.
Unique interpretation of events when there's just a flood of media out there.
You realize how hard it is to be original.
Um I'm one of the few that pulls it off.
And Henniger is one of the others.
But this thing with talk radio, these people in in the what I get the conventional media just have such a distaste for it.
They try to dismiss it, impugn it, and as I say, they treat it as a monolith.
Well, everybody in the radio is X, Y, and G, raging, angry, uh, all of this.
And it's it's uh I've not talked about this much because it's inside baseball, and I don't want to come off as whining.
But for crying out, well, again, 125 radio stations doing talk radio when I started over 2,000 today, and the even people we think are our friends are now out there trying to impugn and and castigate the whole genre as populated by Looney Tune radical extremist loudmouth.
As exemplified by this pull quote from Henniger's piece.
One day after the path cleared to the Ryan speakership, a subfaction of conservatives said they were furious at the Freedom Caucus.
This is the House Conservative members.
You've heard of road rage.
Well, politics now seems to have its own instant anger phenomenon, radio rage.
I wonder, is Mr. Henniger ever written of Obama's rage at climate change, Obama's rage over the lack of uh things done that he wants done, such as amnesty and so why is it always us that are tarred and feathered with this dismissive just a bunch of angry out of control what have you.
Radio rage.
Now, Hennigers, that's fine.
Uh the political raging on the radio's entertaining, a testament to the market system, the best reaction to the sellout charge came from Representative Ken Buck of Colorado, a Ryan supporter in the Freedom Caucus, who was asked if he feared the pitchforks back home.
No, replied Mr. Buck.
I'm the guy with the pitchfork.
So they lump everybody that does this all together, and they don't name any names.
All I can tell you is I have never ripped the conservative caucus in the House.
I have never ripped anybody in that caucus.
I haven't, I haven't ripped anybody about what they've done with Ryan or as it relates specifically to the Conservative Caucus.
It's just, I don't know, just more of the same.
It's laziness.
Calling people out, call them out.
You want to go and tar and feather an entire branch of the media.
It kind of gives us an indication that you're mad at us or you don't like us or you're afraid of us.
And I guarantee you, when you talk with the journalists, all revolves around amnesty.
All this Anger and animus revolves around amnesty because they want it.
And uh and we don't.
Folks, Halloween tomorrow night.
Not being a parent.
I don't know about trick-or-treating these days.
My guess is that parents usually accompany the kids now.
Is that right?
Well, I've been reading about Halloween this year.
This is absurd.
This is just this is just flat out absurd.
Listen to these two stories.
The first one from the college fix.
The headline, college posts contact info at five of five officials standing by to tell students if their costumes are offensive or not.
You think your Halloween costume might be culturally insensitive?
If you're a student at State University of New York Geneseo, all you have to do is email or call five campus officials whose phone numbers and email addresses have been hung around campus on posters titled Halloween checklist.
Is your costume offensive?
Check yourself and check your friends.
We're talking college students who might be getting ready to go trick or treat, or who might be going to a Halloween party and they're worried their costumes might be offense.
If you're worried your costume's offensive, it probably is.
Change it.
But to have to call five chaperones or adults or professors to check it out.
You know, it's no wonder we're graduating from People College who cannot think critically or otherwise.
Talk about mind on robots.
And then there's this from the Daily Caller.
This is from a couple of days ago.
The Department of Energy is celebrating Halloween by carving Department of Energy themed jack-o' lanterns and instructing kids to dress up in energy themed costumes.
Now wait.
Yesterday we had the news that some scientists say jack-o'-lanterns, which is what you do with a with a pumpkin.
Making jack-o'-lanterns is threatening climate.
Or is causing is contributing to climate change.
To me, something like that ought to just make everybody, even the believers, cringe in embarrassment and other people to laugh.
Are you serious?
You're really going to try to tell us that making jack-o'-lanterns threatens the climate.
You're serious about it.
And they are.
They're dead serious about that.
They're deranged.
So now here comes the Department of Energy.
They want kids to dress up as wind turbines and solar panels.
I am not making this up.
The DOE official website includes instructions on how kids can dress up as a solar panel, a wind turban, an energy vampire, a particle accelerator, or even dress up as the Secretary of Energy, Ernest Monese, who I guarantee you they've never heard of.
Ernest Monese is the guy who worked with John Kerry, who, by the way, served from Vietnam helped Kerry give the Iranians the bomb.
So actually, as a monster, he'd be perfect.
Ernest Monese, partner in crime to Iranians getting a nuclear bomb, work with John Kerry.
But to have kids dress up the Department of Energy, your government suggesting that your kid dress up as a wind turbine, a windmill, or a solar panel.
It's Halloween for crying out loud.
Well, I don't know about tax credits for the costumes or anything.
When asked why the Department of Energy did not suggest that kids dress up as nuclear reactors or natural gas plants.
One of the spokesmen for the Department of Energy said, well, nuclear energy and natural gas, they're more mature technologies.
We thought those might be better costumes for adults.
Pardon me, folks.
I'm trying not to laugh because coughing spasms.
If you dress up as a nuclear reactor, how about dressing up as an oil well?
How about finding what fracking looks like and make a costume out of that?
Might give other kids nightmares.
And then there's this, ladies and gentlemen.
Amazon is going to do, well, Code Pink is demanding that Amazon stop selling the Israeli defense forces uniform as a costume.
That's because Israeli soldiers are a symbol of violence and fear for Palestinians living under occupation.
And of course, there are lots of those in your neighborhood.
You're going to be walking up and down the streets of your neighborhood knocking on the doors, and there's gonna be a lot of Palestinians on the other side.
And if you show up dressed like a member of the Israeli defense forces, you could really scare the Palestinians living on your street.
All they want to do is give you some of the candy and whatever else you're gonna get from the Palestinians, but if you show up as a member of the IDF, and Code Pink does not want the Palestinians in your street to be offended.
So Amazon is being told not to sell Israeli defense forces costumes.
There's actually a petition.
It says, Amazon Associates, we strongly condemn the decision of your company to sell Israeli soldier costumes for kids.
In the last week, Walmart has withdrawn these terrible and discriminatory costumes that we are calling on you.
What Walmart is caved.
Walmart's kid the Israeli forces are a symbol of violence and fear for Palestinians, Palestinians living under here.
Where are these trick-or-treaters gonna go trick-or-treating dressed up as so you can't go out as the Israeli defense forces, but you're supposed to go out as a windmill.
A nuclear, no, a uh uh solar panel.
This is absurd.
No wonder a nation of idiots.
You want to see some great Halloween costume pictures, I kid you not, go to the Rush Revere Facebook page.
Facebook.com slash Russia Revere.
People are sending us the Halloween costumes that their kids are dressing up as inspired by characters in Rush Revere, Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, latest book number four, Rush Revere, The Star Spangled Banner.
And you can see, I mean, just an example of some of the pictures that people we are being overwhelmed.
People are flooding us with their personal pictures and videos of their kids getting the books, opening them up when they arrive from FedEx or in the mail or whatever, and then they start reading them.
It's just it's heartwarming as it can be, and it's wholesome.
I touched on a subject yesterday, and that is the Jeb Bush campaign.
And I went quite deep in examining it, analyzing, and explaining it.
And then later in the day, U.S. News World Report got hold of the Jeb Bush campaign blueprint.
124, or pardon me, 112-page internal document provided to U.S. news includes more dirt on Marco Rubio, their vote goals in Iowa, their January advertising plan, and the fact that they focus group tested to the wazoo, the concept, my brother kept us safe.
They focus grouped that, and their focus groups told them that it was overwhelmingly popular.
That when you say George W. Bush kept us safe, my brother kept us safe, the overwhelming number of people love it, they glom onto it.
So Jeb tried it, and Trump blew it out of the water.
And I look at some of the things in this document.
The 112-page internal blueprint for the Jeb campaign, and it reminds me of some of the points I made about it yesterday, which I need to reiterate.
But it's time to go to the phones because it's open line Friday, and I always try to get phones involved in the first hour.
So, Albuquerque is where we're gonna go first to Mexico.
This is uh this is oh, we have two two girls on the Hannah and Jennifer are both on the phone together from Albuquerque.

I'm glad this is a this is uh just a terrific start to the caller to the caller day for me here.
We have gotten on the program once before, but right when Mr. Snidley was going to announce our call, the line is connected.
And then we sent you an email.
Did you ever find it?
Uh well, I don't know.
I mean, what yeah, I must tell you that there are literally thousands of emails that come in every day to the public email address, and I try to read some of them, but I I don't I don't uh I can't pretend to even get close to reading all of them.
And we just want to tell you that we are not going to be solar panels for Halloween.
Oh, thank you.
That comforts me like you can't believe.
I I I couldn't imagine talking to you that you would dress up as solar panel.
And you're not gonna go out, you're not gonna go out as a windmill either, I hope.
We're gonna we're going to go out as a 50s girl on Princess Evora, so no solo panels or energy treasolution.
See, see how healthy that is as a 50s princess.
It's exactly what that's perfect for you.
Perfect for both.
Okay, now look, Hannah and Jennifer, ten years old from Albuquerque.
I want you to hang on.
So Mr. Snerdley, they got on here, but do they not have great voices?
They just have the greatest voices.

I see.
Well, then this is their inaugural appearance.
Anyway, girls, hang on so Mr. Snerdley get your address so we can send you the uh the Liberty Cuddly Stuffed Animal and the audio version of Rush Revere and the Star Spangled Banner.
Don't hang up out there.
By the way, Ted Cruz went to the floor of the U.S. Senate and took it to Mitch McConnell again over this budget deal.
Three sound bites on that.
These also you need to hear.
Open line Friday, whatever callers want to talk about is what we talk about.
800 282 2882.
You want to be on the program.
A brief obscene profit timeout here at the top of the hour, and we'll be right back and continue with much more.
