Time Text
And we are back here at it.
Rushlin boy, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Serving humanity with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Because we are interested in fairness here and equality and all of that.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, certainly you'll love this email.
I got an email during the break.
I checked emails during the break.
That's why I get the email address out because I check them.
But folks, it's impossible.
I get to get a spam filter because we get, I don't know, something 5,000 spam emails just during the program.
And we need through all those.
Just tons and tons of emails.
It's impossible to read them all.
So I subject line scan, and then who knows what it was that causes me to stop on one and open it and read it.
But I do do it when I have time during the breaks.
I just read one.
You know, Rush, I'm paraphrasing on it and print it out.
I don't have it right in front of me.
I'm just giving you the juxtaposition of it or the thrust of it.
There's nothing it seems like you don't know.
Is all you do study?
Do you do anything else?
To know what you know and to be as up to speed on things as you are.
I can't imagine you have time to do anything else.
Is all you do is read and study?
No.
I actually do quite a lot.
You know what I did yesterday when I got home?
Yesterday, Apple dropped system upgrades for everything.
Apple TV, iOS devices.
Did you know this?
Well, the Macintosh, the computers, the iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches, Apple TV, watch.
So when I got home yesterday, I upgraded.
Well, I upgraded the three phones and the two iPads during the program yesterday.
I still had two iPads to go when I got home.
I upgraded the home computer from here during the program, upgraded this computer after the program.
I upgraded my laptop when I got home.
I upgraded three watches starting at 6:30 last night.
And then I found out that in iOS 9.2, if you have ATT, if you carrier is ATT, they just turned on a fascinating feature called NumberSync.
And it's part of Wi-Fi calling.
You have to have iOS 9.2.
You have to live in an area where ATT offers Wi-Fi calling.
Now, what that is, if you live in an area with a very weak cell signal, your call will be answered or made on your Wi-Fi network with exceptional quality, something like FaceTime audio or VOIP.
And they added this NumberSync to it, and NumberSync is very simple.
What NumberSync is, it allows Wi-Fi calls to be made and received on your Mac, on your iPads, on your iPod touches, with your phone turned off.
Your phone could be lost.
Your phone could be in another room.
It's not tethered to the phone.
It's brand new.
So I read this.
I said, wow, this is cool.
So I went to the settings for the phone to turn on this feature, and it wasn't listed.
It's Wi-Fi calling.
You have to go.
That's the Wi-Fi calling section of the phone settings.
But it wasn't there.
So I read further and I found out that the blogs were all saying that NumberSync wasn't going to be turned on until the first part of next year.
But then I found other blogs saying, no, no, it's active now.
Users are reporting it.
Well, I didn't have it.
So I said, well, what the heck?
How can I find out how to activate this?
While I'm doing that, I got an alert on my phone.
It was an alert for a carrier settings update.
Do you know what that is?
That's when your carrier, in this case, mine's ATT, said, okay, there's settings that we need to upgrade on your phone.
Do you want to do it or not?
Well, I always want to do it.
Any upgrade, I hit install it.
It took less than a second.
And they put NumberSync on my phone yesterday on my primary phone.
So I then set about hooking that up.
On, you can do it for five devices.
So I did my laptop, two iPads, and one of my desktop Macs, five devices all set up to do this.
And then I tested it, and it works.
You can make a phone call with your telephone turned off on your Mac, your iPad.
I don't have an iPod Touch, but if I did, you could.
But I have a backup phone, ATT, and it didn't receive a carrier settings update alert.
So I said, hmm, how can I trigger it for the second phone?
And I kept checking it all night long, and the carrier settings alert for the second phone did not come in.
So I said, maybe I can trigger it with iTunes.
So I plugged in to iTunes here this morning my secondary ATT phone.
Bamo, there it was.
Soon as I plugged in, there was the alert to upstall, upgrade and install the carrier settings upgrade, and I did it and turned it on.
And they're rolling it out.
I think it's going to take them some time to do it.
But my point in telling you this is that most people, I am sure, none of this is in the release notes for 9.2.
If you don't read the blogs or take time to study this stuff, you'll never know this feature unless you spend time in the ATT blog.
And I don't know how many people do that.
So my point in telling you this: if you installed 9.2 yesterday, and if you have an ATT phone, keep a sharp eye for an alert.
It's just the white.
It's not a banner alert.
It's an actual little badge on the home screen, wherever you are on the phone when it comes in.
It says carrier settings update.
And don't let it scare you.
Whatever it is, just hit install it or yes or whatever.
And then go to settings/slash phone slash Wi-Fi calling if it's available in your area, and it should be.
And then you'll see it underneath that.
But you have to have Wi-Fi calling in your area, and you have to have that turned on before NumberSync will work.
Now, all of this is kind of crazy because I don't use the phone.
But it's just, to me, it's a fascinating bit of tech.
And this is not much to do with the Apple continuity and extensibility features.
This is strictly an ATT feature that you can actually use a Wi-Fi network that you're on on your Mac or your iPad to make a phone call or answer one on your primary phone number with the phone.
Doesn't even have to be on or in range or the phone could be lost, in fact, and this would work.
So they found a way to get your cell signal over Wi-Fi, which increases, expands the quality of the call and all that.
So I tested it and it did work.
So yeah, I got all kinds of time to do stuff besides study.
See, you just got your, you got your carrier settings.
See?
Plugged it into iTunes and bam, there was your carrier setting alert and you installed it.
And I'll show you after the program how to do it.
But have you set up Wi-Fi calling?
All right, cool.
There you go.
It's easy.
It just takes some time.
One of the things with Wi-Fi calling, you have to put in an address because if you dial 911 on a Wi-Fi call, your location is not registered.
So you people afraid of the NSA, this is right up your alley.
They can't tell where you're calling from if you make a Wi-Fi call.
So if you call 911, if you've got an emergency dial 911 using Wi-Fi, they don't know where you are.
That's why you have to register an address, strictly for emergency services purposes.
And so you put in your home address or wherever you are most of the day.
It can't be a P.O. box.
It's got to be an X street address.
And then you're off and running.
You set it up.
And you have your iPad with you, Brian.
Well, when you go home tonight, just turn your iPad on and put your phone next to it.
And it won't be long before you'll get an alert on the iPad with a four-digit code to authorize.
And if that doesn't happen, go to the FaceTime app.
That's how you do it on your Mac.
It all runs through FaceTime.
So go to FaceTime on your Mac or on your iPad, and that will trigger the way you can activate that device from your phone.
Okay?
So yeah, I got all kinds of time to do stuff besides study.
But you see, folks, it's none of it.
I love doing it all.
And it's just, it's, they always say if you love what you do, it didn't work.
And staying up to speed on stuff is, I mean, that's, I love doing that anyway.
And my process now is simply information gathering.
I'm not in the process of learning things.
I mean, don't take that the wrong way.
I'm constantly learning, but the point of studying is not to learn things.
I've got the basic foundation of my existence, my beliefs, my principles, and all that.
So what I'm doing is just information gathering.
And then I have an organized system where I can recall it if I need to on a moment's notice.
That's not flawless, but it works for me.
Now, this is an interesting little piece here.
This is from the American spectator, Arnold Allert.
Arnold Allert, A-H-L-E-R-T, used to write for the New York Post.
Do you all remember when we first heard of the assault on the facility in San Bernardino, there were three shooters?
Yeah, I remember that too.
And Arnold Allert's piece here, headline, Odd Man Out, what happened to the third shooter?
But his whole piece is premised on this whole thing stinks.
The story we're getting about all of this still doesn't add up to him.
The American spectator, Arnold Allert, he starts it this way.
He said, this is one American who does not have high expectations for our mainstream media.
Yet, is it too much to expect a moderate level of curiosity about a critical part of a major story, even if it's not in line with the progressive agenda?
Apparently, so as two nagging questions about the terror attack in San Bernardino remain unanswered, worse, they remain unasked.
First, whatever happened to that third shooter using several search parameters, one can find a substantial number of media reports on the day of the shooting indicating the police were searching for three suspects.
In addition, Sally Abdel McGeed, an employee at Inland Medical Center where the attack occurred, insisted in an interview with CBS News there were three shooters.
She stated, I heard shots fired, and it was from, you know, an automatic weapon, very unusual.
Why would we hear shots?
As we looked out the window, a second set of shots goes off.
We saw a man fall to the floor.
Then we just looked and we saw three men dressed in all black military attire with vests on.
They were holding assault rifles.
As soon as they opened up the doors to the building, three, one of them, started to shoot into the room.
And I do remember the first reports, there were three shooters and they were all decked out in camouflage gear, all black.
It was professional hit.
In fact, the original stories on this were how unlike terrorism this attack appeared.
The three were professionally attired.
They had vests on me.
They didn't want to die.
They came in, they shot the place up, and then they got out and they escaped.
And for a short period of time after the event, nobody knew where they were.
And so the original stories were this could not have been terrorism.
This could not have been Islamic extremism because they claim victory.
They die for the 72 virgins.
They martyred themselves.
They die in the event.
These people didn't want to die.
They didn't want to get caught.
They just ran around.
They got away.
Very professional.
That was the first substance report of this or substantive report that I remember getting, including with the third shooter.
Now, in describing the assailants, Abdel McGeed admitted that she couldn't see a face.
He had a black hat on, black cargo pants, the kind with the big puffy pockets on the side, long sleeve shirt, gloves, huge assault rifle, six magazines.
I saw three dressed exactly the same.
The CBS reporter interviewing Abdel McGeed said again, you're certain you saw three men.
Yes, she insisted.
It looked like their skin color was white.
They looked like they were athletic build and they appeared to be tall.
A second witness, Juan Fernandez, corroborated Abdel McGeed's account, telling reporters he also saw three white men in military fatigues who took off in a black Impala or SUV.
Moreover, after the police killed Tashfin Malik and Saeed Rizwan Farouk climate change in a shootout, the media were still reporting the house-to-house search for the third suspect being conducted by police.
But since then, nothing.
Certainly, eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable, but isn't that precisely the reason one might expect the media to clarify the discrepancies between their original reporting and the current status quo?
As bad as that lack of closure is, the second question is far more troublesome.
Why did the FBI abandon their investigation of the townhouse rented by the terrorists and allow media access to it only two days after the shooting and leave shredded documents behind?
You know, this is a question when I saw the media being let in this place.
It happened while the program was on.
I saw it up there on one of the monitors.
And I said, What is this?
We were told a landlord let them in, and the FBI had cleared the scene.
After two days, you clear a crime scene, and we're still hearing reports of the mother was deeply involved, and the mother had all kinds of terrorist stuff they're finding in her house or wherever she or room where she was living or whatever.
I mean, the evidence is now being piled on.
This was a deeply involved family in terrorism.
It could not have been spontaneous workplace violence.
This was totally premeditated, and it was well thought out.
And there were all kinds of Muslim assistants in the community helping the San Bernardino II.
And against all this, we find out the FBI cleared their house in two days, and the media goes trampling through there and destroying all the evidence that was left inside.
Former NYPD detective Harry Howe illuminates the insanity.
He said, This apartment clearly is full of evidence.
I don't see any fingerprint dust on the walls where they went in there and checked for fingerprints for other people that might have been connected to these two.
You got documents laying all over the place.
You've got shredded documents that need to be taken out of there and put together to see what was shredded.
You have passports, driver's licenses.
Now you have thousands of fingerprints all over inside this crime scene.
It doesn't make any sense.
And it doesn't.
I never understood that.
Why they cleared this so fast and let, I mean, the media, you let the media.
It's a herd of cows.
You're letting in there and trample whatever they run across.
They don't care about preserving anything.
It's first come, first serve, get to whatever they can before anybody else does.
I've got a picture of it.
Anyway, I have to take a break.
Up against it on time.
Back here in a second.
Okay, back to the phones.
We go.
Patty in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Great to have you on the program.
I've been there.
It's great to have you with us.
Hi.
Thank you, Rush.
I'm going to try and do my best to make the host look good.
The whole concept you have, the red top of the first hour, I'd like to refer back to the Time to Time magazine, basically putting Engel and Merkel up as the person of the year, basically for going against the will of the German people and taking all these refugees in.
And it's like it's the German people, the people that make the German country work, you know, that are the ones that are going to have to suffer the consequences of all these refugees coming in, and Angel and Merkel and all the other ruling elites are going to be insulated from all of them.
That's a very shrewd observation you have made here, Patty, by suggesting that Time honored Merkel for governing against the will of her people.
You know, that's very shrewd because I think you've nailed something here to the intelligentsia, the great, great superiorist establishment people.
We're the rubes, you know.
We don't know what's best for us.
We don't know what's good for us.
And Angela Merkel deserves the person of the year because she had the presence of mind to ignore the German people and do the right thing and destroy her country.
And that's what makes you dangerous because you have your finger on the pulse of the American people and what the American people really want and how they really think.
And that's why they keep bringing you up and all these things.
And you're talking about, you know, radio being on the low rung on the ladder.
No, you're not.
You are the most dangerous man in America.
No, I am.
That's true.
No, they will tell you they think radio is the lowest rung of the showbiz ladder.
I don't say that.
They all wish they were here, actually.
And there's a little, there's a, they're curious and resentful.
They don't understand it.
To them, radio is so yesterday.
Radio?
There's no pictures.
Nobody knows who we have.
And then they make fun of the people that listen to it and so forth.
I think you're I think you're you're very shrewd, but I also think with my southern accent and all.
Uh.
Still, I see it.
There you go again.
Your southern accent is what tells them that you are just nothing more, probably a pro-life or debut, certainly a hick.
Oh, definitely.
Mississippi?
Come on, Mississippi.
Yeah, I got it coming from all angles.
You do.
Yes, you do.
Well, Patty, I'm glad you called.
Thank you so much.
I'm very flattered of your compliments and your thoughts.
If you're just tuning in, the early part of the program we played, there were two or three sound bites.
Jeffrey Toobin, CNN, a couple other people using me to tell themselves why Trump is just doing what Limbaugh does.
That's why it's working.
It's really nothing to be concerned.
It's just talk radio.
It's all Trump is.
And she was commenting on that.
Anyway, be right back.
Hey, speaking of new Apple TV, Apple TV4, The upgraded system software for that is TVOS 9.1, and they've now added Siri searched Apple Music.
So all you got to do is play me some Mannheim Steamroller.
Ma'am, you get every Mannheim Steamroller album in Apple Music on your screen to choose from on your TV screen.
Or you can say, find me episode eight, season four, Sopranos, Bamo.
There it is, on HBO.
And you can buy it, rent it, listen to it.
If you own it, you can watch it.
Or you can ask for a specific song in Apple Music.
It'll pop that up.
Apple TV, Apple TV.
So I was playing with that yesterday, too, just searching because Siri searching of music is what's new in the upgrade.
Yes, be able to search HBO, Netflix, Hulu, and Apple for television content.
And you cannot search your own library yet.
That's coming.
Well, that's a major, that's a major code, right?
That's home sharing.
You've got your iTunes library of music and TV shows, and your Apple TV gets that via home sharing.
And they haven't written search for that yet.
But it doesn't matter because every song you have in your library is on Apple Music.
They got 30 million tracks there.
It's just whether you own it or not, want to listen to it.
But that's coming.
They are going to have, at some point, you'll be able to search your own library with Siri as well.
But that's going to be, they're working on it.
Anyway, they're rolling it out slowly.
Here's John in Lexington, Kentucky.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Great to have you on the program.
It's an honor, Rush.
First time ever talking to you, but I've been following you for years and years.
And you're one of the reasons I went from a Democrat with the whole family growing up to conservative, sir.
You wait a minute.
You used to be a Democrat.
I have to admit it.
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry about that.
The Democrats don't think they have any voters that sound like you, son.
Well, I got three of my daughters.
Now I've got to work on the grandchildren, little grandchildren are coming up to explain to them.
But I want to thank you.
Duchess, this time I wanted to thank you for all you've done.
You're about 100%.
You hit it out of the park on predictions.
I mean, that's what I remember.
Well, that's true.
I mean, I have become uncannily good at that.
You're right.
Yes.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
You nail it.
And Reeves, what's Trump?
Reason, I believe you relate with him so much.
You know, all the trouble that you went through, the way they piled on you before.
You know, you got their number.
That's why they're scared of you.
And you know how it is there.
Now, I'll tell you what.
You know, you and our last two, our last caller, Patty from Biloxi, I mean, she was shrewd, and so are you.
You are really insightful, John.
That is an intriguing observation.
In case you didn't hear what he said, he thinks that because the media has gone after me for 27 years, the same way they're going after Trump, he thinks that's why I have a level of understanding of Trump, I think you said.
Exactly.
You know how wicked they can be, and they're scared to death of you.
That's why they're bringing you up so much in the media.
Fascinating.
Not even I had thought of that.
You know, and that's, and I say, I've, you know, John, I really, you're sitting out there, you're listening every day.
You're a former Democrat.
You become a Republican.
You're obviously more than a listener.
You're a student.
You have studied what happens here.
You're able to relate what happens to me and this program to everything else happening in the news.
And he has concluded here that what the media is doing to Trump is what they have been trying to do to me off and on for all these years.
But now he's assuming that I am therefore sympathetic to Trump for that reason.
And I'm just, that's a very creative observation.
John, I appreciate it.
I really do.
I'm flattered that you're out there.
I'm really glad that you switched, and I'm glad you got through to tell us about it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Look at this list of headlines here on Drudge.
I just checked the Drudge page during the break because this story here from Arnold Allert, this has really got me going.
What happened to the third shooter?
And then the New York detective, the former NYPD detective Harry Hauck, openly wondering why in the world the FBI cleared the crime scene out there.
the loving couple's home for the media to go trampling through two days after.
Why didn't they preserve that crime scene?
And the detective said, even when the media is going through there, I didn't see any evidence of fingerprint dust or I saw shredded documents laying around and so forth.
So Mr. Allert concludes his piece.
Something stinks here.
Given the track record of Islamic terror denialism embraced by the regime, along with innumerable examples of media malfeasance protecting Obama, the unmistakable odor of a cover-up or an orchestrated disinformation campaign hangs heavy in the air.
Arnold Allert thinks that we are being really led down the wrong path.
And I'll tell you, that night when we're all watching the media and everybody knows the name Said Farouk, and the media won't say it because it's a delicate situation.
Oh, yes, it was a very, very delicate situation.
I even heard some media people say we can't risk riots in America with the release of the name because it's so soon after the events in Paris.
We've got to be very, very careful.
We have to be very, very delicate.
You wouldn't believe the number of media people using that term delicate.
We've got to be very delicate here.
It's a delicate situation.
We've got to be very delicate about how we release the name and so forth.
And third shooter.
And now we're learning, folks, essentially, that's the point of the drudge headline.
This was a sell out there.
This was not, you know, an oddball terrorist couple.
This was a cell.
They had a lot of people gathering ammunition, working on planning, driving other people around.
It's not what we've been told it is.
It was not a couple radicalized who met on a dating site.
The active theory now is that it was an arranged marriage by terror masters and that they had, after the arranged marriage, a mission.
And the San Bernardino attack was the mission.
And it may have been more.
We don't know.
Third shooter.
Who, what, when, where, why?
Is there one?
Was there one?
Two witnesses said they saw one.
The media reported third shooter, but nobody's had any interest in tracking a shooter down.
Interesting, also, little statistic.
I was sent this earlier during the program, and it explains so much.
70% of the Muslims in America vote Democrat.
70% of Hispanics vote Democrat.
What are the Democrats in favor of letting as many Muslims in the country as possible and illegal immigration amnesty, you name it?
Terror group arranged marriage.
And now there's a new poll.
A majority of likely primary voters back Trump's Muslim plan.
A majority of likely primary voters in the Republican Party back Trump's Muslim plan.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is running around thinking this is the end of them if Trump gets a nomination.
This Trump's idea is the end of them, even though previous presidents have done exactly what Trump is suggesting we should do.
And by the way, Trump's idea is for a temporary moratorium so we get a handle on what's happening here.
So, emergency measures imposed as border surge.
Surprises overwhelms.
Oh, well, yeah, got to take a break.
Well, you hear this.
There are so many young kids from Central America and Mexico still storming the border that even the Obama administration is alarmed now.
So it says here, back after this.
Stephen Dinan in the Washington Times, the surge of illegal immigrant children continued unabated in November, pushing the Obama regime to announce emergency measures to try to handle a problem it thought it had solved earlier this year.
Two months into the new fiscal year, the number of unaccompanied minors jumping the border and getting caught is at an all-time high.
So far, the border patrols picked up over 10,500 kids, more than twice the number at the same point last year.
The number of families trying to cross has also surged.
More than 12,500 people caught, a 173% increase over last year.
The surge of Central American women and children began several years ago and peaked in May and June last year.
More than 20,000 were caught.
They weren't caught.
They were brought in.
And then now we got the story that emergency measures imposed as the border surge surprises and overwhelms immigration officials.
Like, I don't believe that.
I don't surprise anybody.
It's all part of a desired plan.
These are future Democrat voters transforming the country.
None of this is an accident.
They're not surprised by any of this.
This is the result of policy.
That's what everybody knows.
Or everybody intelligently, reasonably suspects and wants something done about it.
It's this little thing called American sovereignty.
And it doesn't seem like too many people in Washington care about it anymore.
But the American people, by and large, do.
And remember, Rush Revere and the Star Spangled Matter, the fourth book in the Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans.
History for young people written by me.
And also Darth Trump, that video I touted.
