Time Text
And greetings, welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limboss, serving humanity, executing a signed host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes.
The telephone number if you want to be on the program's 800 282-2882, the email at SLRushbow and EIBNet.com.
One more audio soundbite saying the world needs to wait on talk radio before we know really how people are gonna react to Trump.
I mean, that's really what they're saying.
You know, Halpern says, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we gotta wait for talk radio before we know how the people are gonna react.
And then this clown at the BBC, well, you know, Limbaugh set the table for Trump twenty-five years of this kind of stuff.
It's easy for Trump to come along and just pick up on it.
So uh clearly the worldwide drive-by media.
Very, very worried about what happens on this program.
They don't control that either, by the way.
Dirty little secret, frustrating for them.
They don't control what happens here, they don't control what happens to me.
They've tried numerous times.
Even I have tried I can't even destroy myself.
I've tried a couple times myself, and it doesn't work.
I'm literally indestructible here.
Here is Maggie Haberman.
She used to be at uh Politico.
Where is she now?
She's at the I think she moved over to the New York Times.
Anyway, she's on with Anderson Cooper who said, Maggie, do you think this actually hurts Donald Trump?
Or is this just like every other statement that he's made for his supporters?
Just the poll numbers are gonna go up.
He is making this comment at a moment of extreme anxiety among Americans about terrorism, and that is colliding with economic anxiety, and that has been fueling him all along.
So no, I don't think this is going to sink him.
I will be interested to see uh how conservative radio hosts react to this in the next couple of days because uh messing around with the Constitution potentially is not usually something that holds a lot of appeal.
I think this makes it harder for Trump to grow his base of support.
They still don't I don't I don't think they get it.
I don't I think Trump supporters are more aware of what Trump is doing and why than these people just they they're unable.
They're unable to get outside the world in which they live, and and understand of all they can do is question or condemn, put down or whatever, but uh actually making an effort to understand something that's not within their comfort zone and worldview, they just don't show an ability to do it.
Interested to see how conservative radio hosts react to this in the next couple days, because messing around with the Constitution.
Uh you want to talk about messing around with the Constitution, Maggie.
Could you talk about Barack Obama?
Donald Trump can't do diddly squat right now.
He's a candidate.
We have a president who is messing around with the Constitution in any number of ways.
But Maggie and her friends don't see it that way because Obama's just doing what they think should be done anyway, and however it gets done, it needs to be done.
So if you have to go outside the Constitution, fine.
In their world, they are superior beings, and what they believe in is justified.
Any opposition is automatically evil, and you're therefore free to do anything to defeat evil.
So if you have to go outside the Constitution, now and then, here, fine and dandy, no problem.
Because we're the smart people and we know that we we we can go outside the Constitution, not damage it.
The Constitution is not afraid.
The Constitution knows us, and they know that we love it.
And they know the Constitution doesn't get worried when we uh trickle on it.
But these mad cap Trump people gotta be very vigilant against them.
Barack Hussein, oh, Maggie, who uh many people think is messing around with the Constitution.
I think the official program observer has a question.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
The official program observer has raised an interesting point.
Maggie Haberman here Says that we are all living in a moment of extreme anxiety.
Yes.
There's a lot of anxiety out there among Americans about terrorism.
And the official program observer's questions, well, why?
Because it was just last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, that President Barack Hussein Oh assured us that we were safe.
That there was no imminent attack, that ISIS wasn't close, that ISIS wasn't here.
And by the way, speaking of that, may as well move into the stack on the on the San Bernardino 2 here.
It turns out, uh, ladies and gentlemen, it turns out that these people are the exact opposite of what the drive-by media tried to tell us they are.
First off, Stephen Hayes in the weekly standard law enforcement officials in San Bernardino and Los Angeles may have investigated Saeed Farouk one week before the shooting on the community development center that left 14 dead and 17 injured, according to a review of police communications immediately following the attacks.
Federal and local authorities have insisted that neither of the attackers had aroused suspicion before the assault earlier this month, and that both Saeed Farouk climate change and his wife Tashfeen Malik were unknown to law enforcement and U.S. intelligence.
But conversations between law enforcement officials in the hours after the shootings leave a different impression.
And Hayes cites two examples of scanner traffic suggesting the LAPD may have investigated Saeed Farouk a week before the attack.
In any case, Hayes writes, what does it say that we can't even trust the local police to not cover up having prior knowledge about this couple?
He thinks he's found evidence that law enforcement had knowledge of these people a week before the event, and since it looks bad that nobody did anything about it, they're now running around saying they had no idea these people were totally off the radar when they're not and when they weren't.
And so Hayes says, what does it say that we can't even trust the local police to not cover up having prior knowledge about the couple?
They're not the only ones.
Catherine Harridge at Fox News, a 28,500 deposit was made to Saeed Farouk's bank account from Webbank.com on or about November 18th, some two weeks before he and his wife carried out the San Bernardino massacre.
Investigators are exploring whether the transaction was a loan taken out by Farouk.
He earned 53 grand a year with the county as an environmental health inspector.
What does it say that some clown like this gets hired as an environmental health inspector or a restaurant inspector?
Now what is the what is the uh currency in Pakistan, do you know?
Like it's the U.S. dollar here.
It's the yuan in in uh the Chikoms.
What's the currency in Pakistan?
No, that's Russia.
You're close.
It's the rupee.
De rupee.
And do you know how many rupees $28,000 is?
Well, it's three million, but the point is it's almost an exact conversion, depending on exchange rates, depending on what kind of fees you would pay.
Three million rupees.
Like if you're going to be paid to do something, it will give you three million rupees.
It comes out to 28,929 U.S. dollars.
Now, who's going to loan somebody that amount of money?
Or who's going to pay them 28,929?
You pay them 28 grand or 29 grand or 27 grand, but 29,929?
When you find out that equals 3 million rupees, then you can conclude that maybe somebody in Pakistan was investing in the guy or paying the family or loaning them or whatever, but 3 million rupees, it's an even number.
But the point is.
The media and some in law enforcement have, and Obama have tried to tell us.
They worked very hard trying to tell us.
There was no premeditation here.
This guy just, he just, he cracked.
It was workplace violence.
We know it because he got into an argument over Islam with that with that messianic Jew in the office.
And it just ticked him off.
And then he had the humiliation of having to attend a Christmas party for crying out loud, you can understand why he went crazy.
So he's arguing with the messianic.
This is what we're told.
He's arguing at the messianic Jew at the Christmas party.
It was more than anybody could be expected to handle.
So he went home, he grabbed some pipe bombs and long weapons and came back and shot the place up.
But the three million rupees and the scanner activity a week prior.
Go a long way to confirming the attack was pre-meditated.
And if it was premeditated, it could not have been spontaneous, almost understandable workplace violence, my friend.
Yeah, just a couple of more things here.
This is uh investors.com, San Bernardino 2 ran in pack.
Just as the president assured the public on Sunday night, the San Bernardino II acted alone without help from sympathizers in the Muslim community.
Agents were looking hard at family, friends, and neighbors.
Obama said Sunday night, we have no evidence they were part of a broader conspiracy here at home.
No indication the San Bernardino II were part of a broader network.
That is, no co-conspirators, no supporters, no facilitators or financiers, just a just a couple of rogue homicidal heretics.
Nothing more to see here, folks.
Nothing more to see here, haters move along.
Same lone wolf whitewash we have heard before.
However, a lot of things have emerged.
FBI agents raided the home of a former neighbor and close friend of Saeed Farouk, who brought the terrorists to assault rifles.
The FBI is investigating Farouk's mother, who claims she knew nothing of his terror plans, even though she lived with him.
And was involved with a radical Muslim group herself.
His father knew Farouk was a follower of ISIS and admired its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Yet the Israel-hating father, who lives nearby with Farouk's older brother, never reported anything to the authorities.
Farouk's sister, who also pleads ignorance, took target practice with her older terrorist brother.
An eyewitness says that he recently saw six Middle Eastern men working in Farouk's garage where he made more than a dozen explosives.
Farouk was in contact with Muslim extremists on the terror watch list and smashed his cell phones to protect him.
A radical local mosque through a massive wedding reception for Farouk and Tashfeen Malik and members regularly visited their home, which doubled as a laboratory for IEDs.
Agents have raided the homes of at least two of the imams of mosques attended by the bottom of the list goes on and on here.
They were not loan wolves.
They were not one-offs, they were not rogues.
They were paid three million rupees.
Well, the equivalent of three million rupees.
Anyway, the the president tells us, don't sweat it.
Everything's fine, no reason to be anxious.
Maggie Haberman says, no, American people are very anxious, you know, and this is why Trump's, he's capitalizing all this anxiety out there, and uh, I know talk radio, they're very worried about the Constitution, so they may really come down on Trump for this, totally missing everything going on.
If you, If you landed here from Mars, and your only access to news was the drive-by media.
You would think that this was a Muslim country that Christians were attempting to commandeer and conquer.
Back to the phone, Steve Jefferson, Wisconsin.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
The last day and a half in regarding to what Trump wants to do, um, not letting people into this country that want to kill us is another example of the right.
We can't, we can't, we can't.
If you think back to the presidential debate when Kasich and the other Bush stood up there and told Trump, well, we can't we can't deport all that people.
We can't do this, we can't do that.
Well, because of the right, we can't attitude is why we have Obamacare and all of the other things that the left and Obama and his minions have shoved down our throats because of the right we can't.
I think that's pretty conclusive, pretty encompassing, pretty well said, and it explains why Trump supporters are Trump supporters.
Trump supporters, and by the way, not just Trump supporters.
A lot of people in this country are very alarmed at what is happening.
This isn't right.
This is not traditional America.
This is there are serious challenges to what this country has always been underway.
This country is under a major transformation into something it's never been, never intended to be.
A lot of Americans are very, very worried about it, and he's right.
When they listen to the Republican Party talk about stopping it, they say, I can't.
We can't do that.
We can't stop illegals, we can't deport, we can't do anything.
We can't stop Obamacare, we can't do that.
We can't just stop that.
We can't, we can't not shut down the government.
We can't do that.
And so this guy's saying the only natural thing to do, the only reasonable thing to do when the party you've always supported is nothing but we can't.
You go to somebody who says he will.
You gravitate to somebody who says, not only can we, he's going to.
This isn't hard to understand.
The the media and the Washington establishment want to chalk all of this up to a dangerous level of bigotry and racism in America, and that's not what explains this at all, not even close.
What explains this is exactly what this guy said.
A bunch of Americans who love their country are afraid of losing it, and they're listening to the party they think should be the opposition party pushing back, saying we can't.
So why continue to support them?
Uh Naugatuck, uh, Connecticut, Pam, you're next.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Oh, thank you so much for taking my call, right?
Yes, ma'am.
I wondered uh to give your opinion.
Do you think it was any coincidence uh that uh Donald Trump yesterday comes out with his comments on Muslims, so that he ensures that he dominates the media with his comments rather than Ted Cruz, who is now first in Iowa?
You know, you were very shrewd.
Because in the opening half hour of this program, I asked people to look at the politics of what Trump had done and what he had said.
And I think you're exactly right.
I I don't know specifically that that Trump said, you know what, I have to say something crazy.
I have to go out there and say, you know what, we're gonna deport everybody.
I gotta get but I think you know Trump doesn't want to lose Iowa.
Mm-hmm.
And here's Cruz is surging.
I mean Cruz is really that's another story I have in the stack to get to later.
Cruz is really surging in Iowa.
I mean, to the point now that some in the professional political science world are opining Cruz could win it going away.
Now it's early.
Sometimes things like that are the kiss of death, but it's not being widely said just a couple of people have made the point of studying data, which is just polling data right now.
But I think your question is entirely possible.
The answer to your question, yeah, it's entirely possible.
And and it also prevents um Donald Trump from attacking Ted Cruz, which Tether Senator Cruz doesn't attack Donald Trump and Donald Trump doesn't attack Senator Cruz, but it's kind of a way a skillful way around it that he'll control the media so that he doesn't get the attention to help his ratings.
Well, I've got a guy waiting on hold here.
Thank you, sir.
Wait, wait, no, no, no, no.
That was not to tell you to go away.
Okay.
No, no, no.
I never would dismiss callers like that.
I've got a guy waiting to talk.
He's mad at me.
He thinks that Cruz is actually saying the stuff Trump says first, but in a much less bombastic way, and that Trump is stealing what Trump uh what Cruz is saying.
And he's upset with me for not pointing that out.
Well, I actually I have a thought on that, if I may, sir.
Well, you may leave in November, mid-November to a little later November after the Paris attacks.
I believe Senator Cruz introduced a bill into the Senate who uh who uh the bill had the content was uh approximately something that stated that he was going to for three years, I believe was the time limit.
He would pause the refugees coming into the countries from hotbed areas so that until we could get and reassess that program three years later.
So I think Senator Cruz had it first.
See?
I think it was right after the Paris attack, sir.
Well, I've got number 20.
Yeah, I know I remember, I know what you're talking about.
But so uh the Cruz people are also smart folks, and they're paying attention and they're very much aware what's going on here.
And I as I needed to correct myself earlier, I'm gonna say again, Cruz is the only other person in politics who has not jumped in Trump's chili over this.
And we're back, L. Rushbo.
At the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Here it is again.
This is a um story here from Politico.
Now, I I said just a moment ago, ladies and gentlemen, if you were a Martian and you just landed here, and you turned on any of the news networks, you would think this is a Muslim country with Christian invaders.
You just turn on the news and you listen to the way the media is reporting things, and you might conclude that this is a peaceful Muslim country and the problems all emanate from a bunch of Christians.
Why do these young Muslims hate us?
Here we go again after nine-eleven.
The Pentagon, I'm sorry, the State Department condemned a m uh can convened a major, major forum with several discussion topics all evolving around the central oriented topic.
Why do they hate us?
What have we done to make them so mad?
This literally happened within two weeks to a month after 9-11.
So now we have San Bernardino.
The San Bernardino II terror attack.
Politico magazine.
Why do these young Muslims hate us?
You know, this is it borders on the frustrating.
It's not us.
It's all infidels.
All you have to do is read the Quran to find out why.
Hey, these people want to make it out that it's something that we're doing.
It's something about us, something about our lifestyle, about our government, about the way we organize ourselves that makes them hate us to the point that we need to ask, what are we doing to make them do these kind of things?
Because it obviously is more our fault than theirs.
And just like the media cannot grasp what people outside Washington actually think about things like they cannot grasp what Heartland America thinks and feels because it's strange to them.
It's foreign.
They won't read Trump's book.
They won't read any of my books.
They won't read anybody of anybody else's books.
They have these preconditioned assessments of us, call it prejudice.
They certainly do of Christians.
So here we go again.
Why do these young Muslims hate us?
In America and Europe, the children of immigrants are turning into radicalized killers.
We have to find a way to reach them.
You see, it's not that we have to find a way to stop them.
It's not that we have to find a way to defeat them.
It's not that we have to find out what's wrong with them.
Mass murderers.
Suicide bombers.
People that strap bombs to their five and ten year olds and send them out to kill people.
No, nothing wrong with them.
We gotta find out what's wrong with us.
And we gotta find a way to reach them.
They never say that about Republicans.
I can't remember the last time I ever heard a Democrat talk about finding a way to reach us.
Here on Talk Radio or conservative, they all he want to do is defame us and wipe us out and defeat us, but when it comes to these people, oh, we've got to find common ground somehow.
The twin horrors of the mass murder in San Bernardino and the attacks in Paris a few weeks before share one disturbing fact in common.
They were perpetrated not by immigrants, but by their angry, alienated lost children.
The killers were native-born citizens of their lands.
This is also true of other attacks by people identifying themselves as Muslims in recent years, such as the London transit bombings in 2005 and the assassination of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam in 2004.
Who are these enraged young Muslims?
And why do they feel so much hatred for their native countries?
How did it happen that their parents, often first generation immigrants just trying to get along and make a book?
How did it happen that their parents kept their heads down and made no trouble while the children, who were generally better off economically, were lured by a suicidal ideology networked into their minds from thousands of miles away?
Who says the parents are innocent here?
As Investors Business Daily just chronicled about Saeed Farouk's family.
Who says they're innocent?
And by the way, I guess politico is going to join everybody now in agreeing that it has nothing to do with poverty.
They just acknowledge the kids, these young Muslim terrorists are better off economically than their parents, so I guess it must not be poverty now.
But still, it boils down to we're doing something to make them hate us.
We're doing something to make them radical, and it's right there in the book that they read.
You people in the media would just take a moment and read it, you would understand.
None of this is a mystery.
It's not what we're doing, it's what we don't accept.
Who are these enraged young Muslims?
Why do they feel so much hatred for their native countries, meaning they're born in America?
How can they possibly hate their own country?
Yeah, that's reserved for the Michigan militia.
We understand why right wing Christian kooks would hate their country.
Yeah, bunch of racist pigs, but why would these religion of peace Muslims hate America?
I mean, we Democrats and liberals, we've been running the country, we've given them everything.
Why do they hate?
They're going nuts here.
They're literally wringing their hands trying to figure out why.
These innocent young Muslim children hate this country when the left thinks they have been so great and so nice and so accommodating.
Anyway, the political magazine article continues, we need to think about these problems now, because the political climate in both places, Europe and America, could not be more perilous.
In America, the relentlessly Islamophobic Donald Trump outdid himself on Monday, calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S. Trump and other Republican presidential Candidates like Ben Carson brazenly hurl insults and invective against Muslims abroad and impugn the patriotism of Muslim Americans.
The mass killing in San Bernardino coming after the July attacks by Mohammed Yousaf Abdulaziz, the so-called Chattanooga shooter who killed five people, only provided more ammunition, and the right wing media is engaged in unbridled vulgar divonization of American Muslims.
Oh, see, it's our fault.
And it's Trump's fault.
You see, they're building a case.
They asked the question why do these young Muslims hate us?
Donald Trump.
And what is it say here, right?
Wing presidential candidates.
Right wing media.
I found out that's my name.
I was actually called right wing media on CNN over the weekend.
Played the soundbite for you.
Oh, yeah, remember, right wing media wants Hillary to win because right wing media got rich writing anti-Clinton books.
Well, I was the only media then.
Broadcast wise.
So I'm now right wing media, and in a political story, right wing media engaged in unbridled vulgar demonization of American Muslims.
Never mind that according to the FBI, the most domestic terror attacks are carried out by right wing white Christian men.
See how this is going now.
Right wing Christian men carry out more terror attacks than Muslims in America.
Really?
Muslims in America wiped out 3,000 Americans in one day.
Really?
Politico, you really try to make this case.
They tried after the Planned Parenthood shoot them up.
Oh, yeah, these right wingers out there shooting up planned parenthood all the time.
Except the real stats are militant Islam, extremist Islam, has killed more Americans than anybody has committed attacks on planned parenthoods in this country.
Americans pride themselves on doing a better job of assimilating their Muslim immigrants than European nations typically do.
Although there are concentrations of Muslim immigrants in major cities such as Dearbornistan, Michigan, the Muslim communities in America are mobile and an integral part of America's major cities in their suburbs.
See?
You see, folks.
I guarantee you this nation is at risk and imperiled by a bunch of crazed white Christians.
And if you were a Martian and just happened to land here, turned on the news today, this is what you would think.
And back to the phones we go.
This is uh this is Alan in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Well, hello, Russ.
It's uh great to be on with you.
Um I think you were referring to me on this uh last call you took.
Well, yes, I did.
I I wouldn't I wouldn't say I was mad at you.
I've been a fan of yours for a very long time.
Um, but I I just was hearing you uh go on uh about Trump and your monologue and uh kind of lumping everybody else into the same bucket, uh but Cruz isn't in that same bucket, and you've uh you've since clarified that, which I appreciate, but um, you know, I'm frustrated because Ted Ted Cruz is the better candidate.
Um but Trump is uh beaten up media coverage, which gets him uh a whole lot of uh a whole lot of legs.
Uh so I don't know, uh I don't know if you have any suggestions as to how uh the Ted Cruz campaign can surpass that uh but uh that's okay.
So I I now I understand now you you you just or and I I get it.
I totally you you you think that given Trump and Cruz, it's automatic cruise, and why am I not coming out and saying so?
And you think that if I did, it would help crews launch past uh Trump or or anybody else.
Um and by the way, Alan, most people are mad at me most of the time.
That's why I say it.
Uh I mean, it doesn't matter here, home where most people are mad at me.
Most people think I'm doing something wrong most of the time.
So I've just been conditioned to think everybody's mad at me.
Because most people usually are.
So I apologize for lumping you in with the crowd.
It's the same old thing here.
I I'm standing back and observing, and I I don't I don't endorse in primaries or any of this.
I've I've made a practice, Alan, never to tie myself too closely at all to people in politics because I will control them.
I I it's experience guided by intelligence.
I just, it's it's better to be a couple steps removed until you really get to know somebody.
Uh and I know tr I know I know both these guys.
I know Trump pretty well, I know Cruz pretty well.
I've been in social circumstances with them both.
But I think you ought to be actually kind of boyd Cruz is coming on.
And he's doing it on his own.
He's doing it on his own without media with with with a bound uh I mean he's it's earning it.
It's real.
It's not the result of buzz and PR.
Cruz is coming on strong in Iowa right now.
I and yesterday I made this point, and I want to create the circumstance again.
Let's jump forward to February 2nd.
Let you know, hook eye cockeye February 1.
Let's sit here and pretend Cruz wins it.
Do you realize what February 2nd is going to be like?
It's going to change everything.
It's going to change media perception, Republican Party perception.
It's going to change everything.
Right now, everything's just theoretical.
Right now, everything is just polling data.
That's all anything is.
Which is all the media cares about is the horse race aspect of things.
The Trump thing frustrates them because they're not able to affect him one way or the other.
If anything, they're making him more popular.
They would want to be able to destroy him.
They can't.
The Washington establishment has been relying on the media to destroy Trump.
They can't.
They're frustrated as all get out.
They focus on the horse race, the polls.
Every time a new poll comes out, that's the news, and it may as well be what the election's going to say that day.
And they and they react to it as though that is the end result when it isn't.
We don't know what's going to happen on Hawkeye Corkai Day.
But if Cruz actually wins that and wins it going, he's the last person a month ago that anybody gave a prayer of what Carson a month ago was leading it.
And Trump was starting to fade in Iowa.
By the way, there's another poll out.
This is uh the the Monmouth poll yesterday had Trump leading, uh, sorry, Cruz leading in Iowa.
There's another poll that came out last night that shows Trump leading in Iowa.
I got it here.
I don't know which which specific don't remember which specific poll it is.
But just play the game.
Cruz wins the Hawkeye Cawkeye.
You can't imagine the panic that is going to set in in the drive-by media and the Republican.
You think they hate Trump.
One of the reasons why they are very worried about taking Trump out is that they fear it would lead to Cruz getting the nomination.
And the Republican establishment is just apoplectic at that happening.
Because there in Cruz, there is your thoroughbred conservative, that nobody cannot debate, that nobody cannot talk, and they would be in utter panic.
I would venture to say that the entire Washington establishment would much prefer Trump to Cruz.
And you may have picked up on that as uh as well.
Now, what Cruz has said about Trump's plan, I finally have this here.
He said, I disagree with That proposal.
I like Donald Trump.
A lot of our friends here have encouraged me to criticize and attack Donald Trump, and I'm not interested in doing so.
This was Cruz talking to reporters at a capital press conference.
He was there with the Texas governor Greg Abbott.
And they were touting Cruz's own legislative offerings.
He said, I disagree with the proposal, but I'm not going to sit here and pile on Trump.
So that's his way of dealing with this.
Clearly, Cruz does not want to alienate Trump voters.
The rest of the Republican Party apparently doesn't care if they do.
And I'm up against it on time again here.
Brief break, back with more in a jiffy.
Hang in there.
One big exciting broadcast hour remains, and I tell you, it's just flowing by here today.
I mean, racing by here, fast as three hours in media.
And we have one hour left.
I still haven't gotten to the stack of worldwide reaction to Trump.
Some of this is just hysterically funny as well.
So Lindsey Grahamnesty said, you tell Trump to go to hell.
