Time Text
Talent on loan from God.
That's me.
Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
It's great to be with you, my friends.
A final hour, busy broadcast excellence today, telephone number if you want to be on the program's 800 282-2882.
You know that Mizzou President Tim Wolfe and the uh the Chancellor, I forget his name.
How do you think these guys feel today?
I mean, I imagine it's a mixture of emotions, but do you think they feel I don't know.
Ashamed, foolish, embarrassed, because they resigned over charges that turn out to be as phony as Hillary's hair.
I mean, really, they they they got hoaxed out now, maybe they're saying, you know what, thank goodness I'm out of here.
This place is a funny farm, it's a nutcase factory, and I'm glad to be gone.
You know, but they resign hoping to bring peace and tranquility to the campus and so forth, as though they were the problems, and they're just scalps.
There weren't even any real grievances against these people, other than the fact you know, might want to talk white privilege or the fact that they're white or whatever, but I don't know.
Now grab quickly, uh we're gonna go to the uh Republican candidates and their immigration championship.
Everybody's reacting now to Trump and his uh his his assurance he's gonna deport the illegals.
Republicans are reacting to it, media doesn't like it.
But just to show you what's out there, now two sound bites here from uh a woman named Keely Mullen.
She is a million student March National Organization student.
And these are nonsensical things that she is saying.
The thing is that liberals the entire time I've been doing this radio program have been articulating nonsensical, stupid, crazy, insane stuff.
And we laughed at it.
And always, I always uh adopted the belief, who in the world is ever gonna fall for this stuff?
And as the years went by, all that kooky wacko stuff actually ended up being implemented one way or the other.
And I've learned not to laugh at it anymore.
Sometimes you can't help, like these two sound bites, but the but the thing that I've learned is they mean it.
And they don't go away.
They literally mean it.
And in this case, you're gonna hear that they've just been propagandized.
This was on Cavuto Coast to Coast, excuse me, this afternoon, Fox Business uh network.
And he's speaking with this uh student, Keely Mullen, who is the national organizer for the Million Student March.
They're can't they're gonna have something called a day of action.
Calling on college students around the country to march in support of their demands.
So Cavuto says, so what do you want?
Well, so the movement, the Million Student March, um, is a movement for a more um equitable and fair system of education, as opposed to um the really corporate model that we have right now.
Uh so the three core demands of the National Day of Action are free public college, a cancellation of student debt, and a $15 an hour minimum wage for people who work on the campus.
Right.
And these young flowers is the product of our education system.
Free public college, a cancellation of student debt, and a $15 an hour minimum wage for people who work on campus.
Yet I know, no, no, not we can't like do you know the corporate model, uh, like this is a movement for more um um equitable and fair uh system of education, as opposed to um yeah, I know we get a little valley girl thing going on, right?
And so Cavuto said, okay.
So how is that going to be paid for?
Instead of saying, Are you serious?
You really, really think, he said, how are you going to pay for it?
And of course, the Valley Girl had an answer.
The 1% of people in society that are hoarding the wealth and really sort of causing a catastrophe that students are facing.
I mean, we have a relationship right now where 1% of the population owns more wealth than the 99% combined.
Wow.
See.
So you see, it's a catastrophe.
It's a student catastrophe.
It's a well, it's a catastrophe for um students, and that they're facing.
And so it's a relationship where 1% of the population owns more wealth than the 99% combined.
What's her name?
Keely Mo.
Yeah, they're hoarding it, right?
They're hoarding it.
Hey, Keely.
Can I help here?
I want to help.
I hate, I hate hearing students in distress.
I damsels in distress, students in distress.
I hate hearing of catastrophes on campus.
Why don't you instead of targeting the 1%?
Because they're just the winners of life's lottery.
Why don't you find out who gave them the money that they've got?
That should be your focus, because they are the real enemy.
The real enemy are the people who gave the 1% all the wealth.
So find out who did that.
That's who you need to take out.
That's who you need to be really mad at.
I mean, how did the 1% get their money, Keeley?
Somebody had to give it to them.
And there has to be somebody deciding the 1% are going to get this, and the rest of the schlubs are going to get that.
And that's not fair.
Whoever is in charge of distributing the wealth needs to really be taken down.
Don't you think, Keeley?
You watch, she's going to agree if she hears.
You know, Mr. Limbo is mocking us and making fun of us.
Um, but that's really a good point that he was raising.
And I think it is, too.
Find out who gave the one percent what they've got.
I mean, who's gonna find out?
Who gave Bill Gates his 78 billion?
Who gave it to Warren Buffett?
Somebody did.
There is your real enemy, Keeley.
Get back to us when you discover whatever it is you learn.
On this program yesterday, after the Republican debate, you know, Trump talking about Eisenhower and how he deported a million and a half.
And I added to that news.
Trump was entirely correct to point out the history, what Eisenhower did.
And I don't think Trump went far enough, actually.
In reality, Harry Truman, another Democrat president, deported illegal aliens, over 3.4 million.
Did you know that?
You did not know about Harry Truman?
Well, then I'm happy to be able to inform you.
Last night, uh Trump was on the O'Reilly factor, and the host Ted Baxter said.
Sorry, just had to do it.
Bill O'Reilly said to the Trumpster, uh, believe me when I tell you, Mr. Trump, that was brutal.
What they did to people to kick them back out of the country back then, I was there.
That was brutal what they did.
The stuff they did was really brutal.
It could never happen today.
We would do it in a very humane way.
Let me tell you, Truman also sent 3.5 million people out.
So you have to check on that.
But Truman before Ike sent 3.5 million people out.
Show prep for the Republican presidential field, right here, the EIB network.
It was a grand total of 6.4 million.
But O'Reilly said, you can't do that.
It was brutal what happened back then.
It was brutal.
Trump says, Don't worry about it.
We're going to do it a humane, compassionate way.
You won't have to do once if if if it were to ever happen, deportee were to ever actually happen.
What nobody talks about is that there would be a commensurate number of uh illegal aliens who would leave on their own, not waiting to be found and uh and deported.
So yesterday on the NBC News website, NBC News.com, the correspondent Katie Turr spoke with uh with Trump in Manchester, New Hampshire about his immigration policy.
And here's a little bit of it how it went.
Eisenhower's 1952 deportation of a million immigrants.
That was at times anything but humane.
They would drop immigrants off in the middle of the desert, eight died of peat stroke, others were shipped off on cargo ships under hellish conditions.
There was inquiries into those ships.
How would your plan be different?
Very humanely done.
Very important.
Well, it's a whole management thing.
It's called good management, good management practices.
I love this.
I don't know, folks.
I know he's not saying anything.
I just happen I just love it.
Because here you have this loaded-for-bear journalista.
She just loaded for bear.
She's going to take Trump out, or she's going to humiliate Trump.
So she's saying, I don't know if you could hear all that because of the noise.
But what she was saying, Katie Tour at NBC, Eisenhower's deportation of a million immigrants, that was that was anything but humane.
They would drop immigrants off in the middle of the desert.
They died of heat stroke.
Trump said, Yeah.
She said others were shipped off on cargo ships under hellish conditions.
There were inquiries into those ships.
How would your plan be different?
Trump said, very, very important.
It's a it's a management thing.
It's called good management, good management practices.
Look, I know he's telling you mad at me for not seriously parsing it.
I'm sorry.
I good man.
Good management practices.
No, I'm not even going to attempt to define what those would be.
Stop saying give them water.
Don't even snurdly shouting in my ear here and then.
No, no, no.
Just good management practices.
Don't worry about it.
Katie.
Have you ever seen me screw anything up before?
When I tell you we can deport these people, we can deport, we can do it humanely.
In fact, by the time I'm finished, they're gonna be glad I did it.
They're gonna be asking to work for me.
That's how humane it's gonna be.
So nhy is Snerdley's asking, why is it considered impossible?
Why can't we do it?
Well, because we don't know who they are.
The first answer is they're in the shadows.
Don't forget that.
They're in, they're in the shadows.
I know it's bogus, but but they're in the shadows.
We don't know who they are.
And they wouldn't come forward if we said that this was what we're gonna do.
Um and then you the the next answer is the Casich riff, they got families.
He's gonna, you're gonna root up families, but they got they got children that are citizens.
They were born here.
Their children are citizens, you're just gonna take the father and the mother and you're gonna kick them out.
You can't break up families like that.
You can't philosophize about this, you can't do that.
You need executive experience to know how to deport people.
You can't do it.
They're saying it'd be inhumane that it would physically impossible to do.
And and by the way, then they come up with it would be 500,000 a month.
Jeb likes to be 500,000 a month, you'd have to deport.
Why?
Who says you have to do it in one year?
I mean, I admit we can't create more than a couple hundred thousand jobs a month, but how hard would this be compared to creating jobs?
The Democrats don't know how to do that.
So anyway, Newt Gingrich weighed in on this.
This is on the record with Greta Van Suster and last night, the Fox News channel.
Greta said the base do not like illegal immigration.
Donald Trump says, I'm gonna throw 12 million out, and I'm gonna build a wall.
And that's pretty attractive to them.
But Newt, is it possible?
I think that's uh not practical at all at a very human level.
Imagine the number of churches that will become sanctuaries.
Imagine the number of families in which half of them are American citizens born in the U.S. And now you're gonna go in and you're gonna become the party that destroys families.
Look him in the eye and say, let's go down and visit the school in your neighborhood, or the church in your neighborhood or the store in your neighborhood, Donald, where you're gonna walk in and I'm gonna point out the people you're gonna uproot.
Now are you really gonna do that?
And the truth is you're not.
So basically what we're being told here, I mean, if you strip all of the emotion out of this, which I know a lot of people don't like to do, but if you strip all of the emotion out of this, if the top twelve million taxpayers in America decided to break the law and stop paying taxes,
would we suggest that we couldn't go find them and put them in jail or penalize them because we would be separating them from their families?
This is the one instance, my point is the one instance in law where everybody in the establishment comes up with excuses and reasons why it can't be enforced.
But if you have 12 million taxpayers and they all get together and decide, you know what, screw the IRS, they're screwing us.
We're just not gonna pay our taxes.
Could we find them all?
If we found them all, could we prosecute them all?
And could we convict them all and put them in jail?
And would we break up those families?
And the answer is damn right we would.
In a blink of an eye, we would.
And nobody gets away not paying their taxes.
I don't care what happens to your family if you get caught, I don't care how long it takes, they're gonna find you and they're gonna prosecute, and they're gonna get whatever they can from you.
Unless you happen to call our great sponsored tax defense partners, but that's uh another stage.
I'm just making the point here that in no other instance, well, maybe not there may be things I can't think of at the moment, but it really is phenomenal.
You're an illegal immigration, it's the one set of laws that we have that the entire establishment finds every way in the world not to enforce.
And then to further say you can't enforce it.
Lynchburg, Virginia, Ben Carson yesterday held a press conference during the QA.
A reporter said, Can you explain your position on immigration?
Are you in favor of encouraging people here illegally to have a way to get citizenship?
Are you in favor of deporting those people who are here?
I propose that we give them a six-month period in which to register.
If they don't register within that six-month period, they're criminals.
And are treated as such.
If they register in that six-month period and they have a pristine record, and they wish to be guest workers in this country, they would have to pay a back tax penalty and they have to continue to pay taxes going forward, but they would no longer have to live in the shadows.
Okay, so that that sounds like the establishment plan in a way, this doesn't quite go to amnesty like some of the others does.
Anyway, we're up against it on time.
Got to take a break, be right back.
Let me ask you a question.
If the libs in this country, if the Democrats, if the left wanted to confiscate all the guns in the country, do you think you would hear it?
Oh, we can't we can't find all the guns.
You're crazy, it's crazy.
We can't find the guns, are you silly?
There's millions and millions, hundreds of millions, can we get ever given?
No.
They go for it and they'd try to find every gun in this country and they'd upset every law they could to get every gun.
If they got to go ahead, they can find 300, 400 million guns inside of a month, or they would certainly try, right?
I don't think there's any how many guns are there in this country?
We're told there'd be no problem confiscating them.
The left is not deterred at all by the numbers there.
Now, when it comes to deportation, if anybody's ever really serious about it, and I don't know that anybody really is, but if they were, and if it is said there's no way why, it's like Newt said, I mean, you have to close the stores, the churches, uh, separate families, all that.
Well, there are places we can go for guidance.
We could ask the Mexicans how they do it.
And we can go ask the Cubans, you know, We have a new relationship with Cuba.
The Castros are experts at rooting out people they don't want there.
And they have built plenty of prisons for them.
And the Castros uh the the Cuban communists have had no trouble finding the people there that they don't want there or that they don't want roaming around there.
We could uh we could ask the Chicoms, you know, they don't like the Tibetans and they've they made no secret about it.
I mean there's any number of places in the world that we could go to seek expert help.
Because there are plenty of other countries that do it.
No, I'm just saying, you know, I this is what I mean.
I'm the mayor of Realville and I do happen to react literally to things.
So when people say things, I interpret what they say literally.
I'm not going to assume they don't mean it.
I'm not going to assume they're exaggerating.
Somebody says something I'm going to believe they mean it.
And if they say there's no way we could do it we couldn't do it.
We couldn't round up we couldn't find eleven.
We couldn't separate the families well there are people that know how to do it and have been doing it for a long time.
All we would have to do is ask them how they do it.
Then it's up to us.
Oh yeah screams of joy folks the very mention of my name all across a fruited plane Michael in Havysburg Mississippi welcome sir.
Thank you for your patience and hello.
Hello Rush how are you today?
Good good good thank you.
It's an honor to finally get through to you after all these years listening to you.
I really wanted to thank you for writing the books that you have written, Rush Revere.
And the reason being, I have an 11-year-old.
I actually have five kids, but my 11-year-old has struggled with language arts in the last couple, and that's the new buzzword for English, but has always struggled with that in terms of expression.
I think it's partly interest-based.
But I told him a couple months ago if he would read the first book that I've had for a couple years that I would reward him.
him as he would answer questions that I've basically given quizzes and he has taken that to task and has finished the first book and has earned a little bit of money and has actually increased his knowledge uh in school and has uh is in fact his last language arts test was a 90 which is an A. Wow and and for him that's good but he's also just gotten the last two books we went and we went to uh uh Books a million the other day and he wanted book two and book three so
So that tells me that he has an interest and he's learning things and he's able to recall things now that he has not really spent a lot of time dealing with in his school.
How old is he?
He's 11.
He's 11.
You know, I can relate to this in a sort of way.
I hated school.
I didn't per se dislike reading, but I hated anything to do with school.
I hated homework.
I just hated it.
to me and so anything that I had to do that was related to school um yeah I didn't want to read the homework but I would read the newspaper I would read things I was interested in but stuff forced on me I just didn't have any interest in it whatsoever.
I didn't have any problem reading so I know exactly it that I I'm taking this as a supreme compliment because your son loves the books and that's why he likes to read them.
That's right and and I was the same way so I get it you know so but but the books are uh he's actually enjoying reading them and and and he's get guess what he learned something too so that's really that's good.
Well that's the idea um so well you're making my day here Michael I'll let let me send you the fourth one I'm I'm gonna I mean if you hang on here so Mr. Snerdley can get your address so that we can send you out a little uh little package of stuff in fact I will throw in the new Liberty stuff doll um the cuddly liberty of the horse stuff that was really uh kids are gonna love this thing which we we did it because they're in such demand you know we had Ted T. Bear
that went along with two of my tea and the kids said, What about liberty?
We want a liberty.
So we've got a Liberty doll out there now.
And it's a subject of our latest sweepstakes, which is just like five days for four people.
Luxury accommodations, first class air travel, whatever, everything cash on the ground, money.
It's all explained at rushrebier.com.
Anyway, I'm gonna throw all that stuff together, including the fourth book, because the music to my ears because there's a there's a mission with these books.
And you know, it you know, in a way, the mission is to counteract the kind of of uh kids that end up going to college, what they think, you know, they're they're the product of their educations.
They're the product of propaganda, they're the product of indoctrination.
They have been taught all of these horrible things about their own country.
They have been taught that their country is unfair and racially discriminating and all of this stuff that's how do you not teach the greatness of this country?
And they don't.
They did they they it's the exact opposite is taught.
How do you not teach the miracle that is the United States of America in the history of mankind?
There never before was there anything like the United States.
Meaning, never before were people and their lives governed and oriented around the concept of their freedom and their independence rather than life being organized around a king or a tyrant or a dictator.
I think it's the the story of humanity on planet Earth is one of poverty and pestilence and disease and tyranny.
It really is the vast majority of people who have lived and who are alive on this earth are subjugated.
They're tyrannized.
They certainly do not have individual liberty and freedom.
It's that unique.
How do you not tell that story?
How do you not teach that story with pride?
Especially when you claim you're interested in civil rights and compassion.
There's no place on earth that has been better for civil rights and humanity than the United States of America.
And how do you teach the opposite?
The only way you can teach the opposite is if you're really not interested in individual liberty and freedom.
And how could you not be interested in that?
Well, very easily.
If you didn't have faith in people, if you didn't believe in people, if you held people, average ordinary people in contempt, if you think they're incompetent, incapable of doing what you think they should do, then you're not gonna want them to be free.
You're gonna want to control them to make sure they do what you want them to do.
And that's how most people have had to live.
Until the United States came along.
And how you don't teach that story, how that becomes controversial, I don't know.
But the mission behind the Rush Revere books is to reverse that and to teach young people how great their country is.
Teach them to love it, be proud of it, and to know why.
So when I get calls like this, hear these stories about people, young kids that don't like reading but all of a sudden do, or dyslexic kids who don't even want to try to read but now do.
You can't you can't believe what a good feeling is associated with hearing that kind of thing.
It really is.
So I uh Michael, I thank you very much.
A quick time out, my friends, as we roll on here.
Um gotta get back to the audio sound bites just on um.
Well, some more on immigration, and we've got some well, just wait.
It's it's all coming up.
You'll see.
Jeb Bush.
Yesterday in Iowa, campaign event, a QA with a reporter.
What did you think of Trump yesterday saying that he would form a deportation task force to get people out of the country?
Just assume for a moment that there would be due process.
I haven't heard Mr. Trump's views on that, but I assume in our country that that actually people would consider that to be worthy of consideration.
A half a million people, basically, I think would double the number of people processed through our judicial system.
It's not possible.
There you go.
A half million people.
It's not possible.
We simply we couldn't do it.
There's no way it would work.
So that seems to be the way everybody's reacting to Trump's humane proposal is that it's impossible.
Won't work.
For all that we can't bust up families.
We can't find the people.
We'd have sanctuary churches.
We'd have Sanctuary 7 Elevens.
That's what Newt says.
These people be hiding out in these places.
We'd have to bust into churches and 7-Eleven stores, and who knows whatever the heck else.
We just couldn't do it.
Now, last night on Coveto, uh Cavuto, sorry, Fox News Channel, his his Fox News show, not the Fox Business Network.
He interviewed Governor Kasich from Ohio, and he said, These other guys on the stage, they don't think you're you're you're a conservative anymore.
They don't think that you're from the Reagan wing anymore.
If you take a look at Ronald Reagan today, I'm not sure that he would pass their test.
Look, when you're an executive, it's not just about philosophy, it's about making things work.
I've been a conservative all of my life.
But you know, I am concerned about poor people and about giving them a chance, not a handout, but a hand up.
I do believe in cutting taxes, but I don't think we can just cut them to zero and have everything work great.
I've got to be somebody that stays true to myself.
But I don't know how anybody would say that record is not really a conservative record, because it is a conservative record, and sometimes it's practical, just like Ronald Reagan.
Well, I think I love this.
So Reagan was a good lib.
And Reagan was a good moderate when it came to helping poor people.
Yeah, that's what we're no, no.
And by the he's on this riff here where philosophy is all well and good when you're up here on a stage talking conservatism, but when you're an executive like I am, and when you're governing, you had poor people and all kinds of people in trouble and the banks are shutting down.
Then that philosophy's word, you gotta throw it out the window, you've got to help people.
I'm sorry, it's philosophy that guides you.
Philosophy forms the basis, the foundation of your principles.
How do you just throw it out?
Uh anyway, I know what he's trying to do.
New Hampshire primary coming up and a lot of moderates there.
Um, yesterday now, I don't have time to get both these in, but well, maybe we do.
Here's a point that I made yesterday on the program quickly.
They're running as Democrats.
Jeb and Kasich may as well have been espousing the Democrat Party position last night during a Republican debate, and they're wondering why things aren't working out.
Okay, about what doesn't matter because what's next?
ABC News then links Bush and Kasich and Hillary on Trump's uh deportation plan.
Mass deportation is a plan some of Trump's fellow Republicans call unrealistic.
Look.
Think about the families.
Think about the children.
Even having this conversation sends a powerful signal.
They're doing high fives in the Clinton campaign right now when they hear this.
The Clinton campaign doing more than high fives, taking a social media, tweeting the idea of tracking down and deporting eleven million people is absurd, inhumane, and unamerican.
No Trump.
What did ABC do?
They they went out and got they got they got uh they got Kasich and they got Bush, and they lumped her in with Hillary, who's a Democrat, in order to oppose Trump, which was my point.
Forty-nine percent of Republicans and independents who lean to the GOP say that Donald Trump is the presidential candidate best able to handle the issue of illegal immigration.
Forty nine percent in a field that big.
Pretty dominating numbers.
