Time Text
Greetings, folks, welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, cutting edge.
Societal Evolution on Friday.
Let's hit it.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yeah, I'm looking for.
Huh.
I'm looking for the just one more soundbite from the CNN thing, and that's Mrs. Kyle.
And I thought we had it in the list here in front of the 22.
Well, I guess it's not on the list, so maybe we can get it.
Tara Kyle just ran rings around Obama, the CNN gun control town hall last night.
Anyway, welcome back to Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I I I mentioned that we went back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Soundbites to find Paul Ryan, and I got these and I want you to hear them.
February 25th, 2010.
Um this was a health care reform summit at Blair House, which is on the grounds of the White House, is a White House guest house, essentially.
Uh and occasionally people guests stay there overnight, foreign dignitaries, but uh sometimes they use it for ceremonial type things or meetings.
And this was before Obamacare became law, and in the midst of the debate, there hadn't been any votes on it yet.
And Obama was conducting one of these nationwide extravaganzas to extol the virtues of it all.
And he made the mistake of inviting a Republican leadership up there, and they sent Paul Ryan, who was the resident budget expert, and at the time one of the most doctrinaire conservatives in the House.
And here are two sound bites.
You and what you what we don't have here is video that's Obama was just shooting him daggers.
Obama was staring at him.
He he was as angry as I saw him during that that pep rally for guns that he did, or whatever it was Tuesday.
Yeah.
Remember, he was mad.
This one he cried to the tear trickling.
He just livid.
Well, he was just staring daggers at Paul Ryan during these two sound bites.
This is a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.
When you take a look at the Medicare cuts, what this bill essentially does it treats Medicare like a piggy beak.
It raids a half a trillion dollars out of Medicare, not to short Medicare solvency, but to spend on this new government program.
When you strip out the double counting and what I would call these gimmicks, the full ten-year cost of this bill has a 460 billion dollar deficit.
The second 10-year cost of this bill has a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit.
Hiding spending does not reduce spending.
And so when you take a look at all this, it just doesn't add up.
No, it doesn't add up.
Now he was going at it from the financial aspect.
He wasn't in this in these bites talking about the merits of socialized medicine or national health care, but he's clearly opposed to it.
Here is uh this is in fact I remember this moment uh what it it ended up being a false promise, but this is when it looked to me like the Republicans were actually gonna stand up and oppose this.
Now, they never had the votes to stop it at this time.
The first two years of the regime, the Democrats outnumbered them, veto outnumbered him in both the House and Senate.
The Republicans, if they had everybody voting together, didn't have the votes to stop anything.
And that's why there are no Republican votes uh on Obamacare.
No Republican fingerprints on it whatsoever.
But it was during this summit, February 2010, that I actually thought the uh Republicans might, and this is before the midterms.
This is just basically Obama's been in year in office one year.
I really thought this signaled uh the moment where the Republicans had gone through the first year of the honeymoon phase, and they were gonna really stand up and oppose this guy.
We've been talking about how much we agree on different issues, but there really is a difference between us, and it's basically this.
We don't think the government should be in control of all of this.
We want people to be in control.
And that at the end of the day is the big difference.
We are all representatives of the American people.
We all do town hall meetings.
We all talk to our constituents.
And I've got to tell you, the American people are engaged.
And if you think they want a government takeover of health care, I would respectfully submit you're not listening to them.
And promptly, the Republican leadership abandoned Ryan.
And Obama was staring daggers at him during this.
And when I say they abandoned him, I'm not exaggerating by much.
He didn't get a lot of support when this was over.
He wasn't exactly thrown overboard or thrown under the bus, but nobody picked up the clarion call.
And it was a huge disappointment.
He'd really stuck his neck out.
Nobody thought this was anything like this going to happen.
And this was like a gift from God that Ryan went up there and stoked out this position, staked out this position, and then and it was over.
And very few, if any, if my memory is right.
Republicans picked up the challenge and carried the ball and ran with it.
And we can look back on it, missed opportunity.
Okay, to Trump.
Rudy Giuliani made an observation that is right on the money.
It's nothing you haven't thought, but Rudy said it, said it publicly yesterday.
He said that Donald Trump has handled the Clinton's family uh accusations of sexism in a politically brilliant fashion.
Giuliani said Trump found a way to do it that nobody else has done.
He was referring to Trump's feud with Bill Clinton and Hillary on this the whole idea of Bill Clinton's sexism, misogyny, predatory behavior toward women, Hillary defending it, propping it up, attacking the women who came forward to say that Bill Clinton had abused them.
Rudy's making the point that nobody's had the guts to go after the Clintons on this.
Certainly not in the media.
And Republican candidates have kind of tiptoed around ever since the impeachment proceedings bombed out.
The Clintons have had a free road on this, and they had a free reign on it actually before that.
And what what Rudy is pointing out here that Trump is the first guy to actually go after it and make it pay off.
He said Hillary attacked Trump as a sexist, and Trump said, I'm a sexist.
What about you standing by while your husband was doing all that stuff with all those women and you were destroying the women's reputations?
You're accusing me of sexism.
Rudy said that was actually politically brilliant.
That's a politically brilliant maneuver.
No one had been able to carry that off before.
Giuliani also predicted that Trump is becoming the GOP's 2016 nominee if he converts his popularity into voters.
He says, unless you don't read the newspapers, you have to make him the favorite.
And Rudy said I think the real answer to all of our questions is going to come in Iowa, New Hampshire, maybe South Carolina.
Does all this sentiment that Trump has turn into a vote?
Is it celebrity or is it real voting?
If it's real voting, then he's on the way to the nomination.
Well, that takes us to Vermont.
And the Trump event in Bernie Sanders' backyard.
You're going to have counties in Vermont, too.
Did you know that?
Somebody should tell Obama.
They have counties there.
And there's an overflow crowd outside.
Too big to get in.
Some hecklers did get in.
Turns out they were strategic.
They were bought and paid for by the Bernie Sanders campaign.
And Trump found out about it.
And they started heckling, and Trump zeroed in on him and had them thrown out.
And then told everybody, security people, don't give them their coats.
It's 10 degrees outside.
Send them out there without their coats.
Screw them.
And people, how can you be so mean?
They're simply they're simply practicing the time on it, right.
And they said screw that.
They're coming in here trying to screw up my event.
It's a Bernie Sanders campaign.
Screw them.
Throw them out of here.
Get them out of here.
And don't get Audit's cheering.
Media can't believe it.
Here's Jonathan Carl.
Now, this is to me a little bit surprising.
The fact that people line up outside the venue where Trump speaks is not news.
It happens everywhere Trump goes.
No matter what the arena, the arena's 4,000 people, 2,000, 10,000, 8,000 people.
There are people lined up outside who can't get in.
It isn't news.
But Jonathan Carl, apparently it was news to him.
Last night ABC is worldled news tonight.
Jonathan Carl's report on Trump's campaign event in Burlington, Vermont.
Here in Vermont, Trump phenomenon was on vivid display.
The rally is in a theater down there.
It doesn't start for another four hours.
But as you can see, there's already a line of people here as far as the eye can see, extending for at least two more blocks.
This is one of the most liberal cities in America.
A place that first elected Bernie Sanders.
But out here today, almost looked like Trump territory.
They can't believe it.
They literally can't believe it.
And they can't explain it and they don't understand it.
And so they're going gaga over it.
Here is Trump.
This is where we the sound bites of the hecklers and their attempt to derail the Trump event last night.
Get him out.
Get him out.
Confiscate his coat.
You know, it's about 10 degrees below zero outside.
Come on, security move faster.
We need security that moves fast.
Come on, move faster.
Pretty soon they're gonna get so nasty that we're not gonna have any more protesting.
You know that, right?
Pretty soon they're gonna get so nasty.
Just throw them out of here.
Get them out, get them out.
Security move.
Nobody does that.
No matter, I don't care.
The Sanders campaign, whoever, nobody is gonna succeed in taking over a Trump event.
And nobody's gonna succeed driving him off the stage.
Nobody's gonna succeed in taking him off his game, and nobody's gonna succeed in derailing him.
And it's almost it's it's kind of funny here.
You have, on the one hand, traditional Democrat politics, the way they have always gotten away with disrupting, protesting, damaging, destroying Republican events.
So here they show up, according to their playbook, and look what happens.
Somebody's not afraid of them.
Somebody's not afraid to call them out.
Somebody is not afraid to kick them out.
Somebody's not afraid to say they're not wanted, get the hell out and get get out without your coats.
Somebody totally unintimidated by them.
This is what they have no experience with.
They usually, in their minds, they get away with intimidating everybody.
So this is like trying to sink a battleship with BBs, folks.
And these people on the left still don't get it.
And the reason they don't goes back to the thing that I've always pointed out, and that is that Trump and his audience have a bond that the media can't understand.
Much less can they destroy it.
The media did not make Donald Trump.
Therefore, the media can't destroy him.
The media can't break the bond.
Only Trump can do that.
They can't.
But they're behaving with this age-old playbook that says if they want to take somebody out, they can.
That's journalism 101.
That's how you climb the ladder in journalism to destroy somebody.
And they're trying every technique that every J school professor's ever taught them.
Every editor's ever taught them, trying everything they can.
Nothing works.
They have yet to turn a Trump supporter away from Trump.
And yet they keep trying the same old way.
Open Friday, back to the phones.
Andrew in Minneapolis.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush, uh, Megadivos to you.
So I heard about the shooting today, and there was an officer that was shot in the name of his mom by a criminal.
And that criminal got that gun.
Um, it was a stolen gun from 2013 from a police station.
And so it's a police issue gun, and I just thought, you know, how how many laws can you put in to try to not put guns into the hands of bad guys and assume that bad guys aren't going to steal things, even from the police.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's an excellent point.
But did you hear that the mayor is saying that the confession from the shooter is wrong?
Yeah, they've got yes, they've got I don't I don't think it's true.
I mean they've got selective sharing with that stuff, I think.
Oh, it's more than that.
It's more than selected.
Here you have the shooter saying that he did it in the name of ISIS and Islam, because the cops are enforcing laws that are in conflict with uh Islam, Sharia, the Holy Quran, and the mayor says, I don't want anybody thinking that's true.
No way.
There's nothing in Islam that would rurent it's a peaceful religion, or whatever it was, he says openly denying the PERP and his uh and his confession.
But yeah, I mean it's another illustration.
This gun's stolen from the police somehow.
Some I care what gun controls you do or whatever second amendment you do, you're never gonna get guns out of the hands of law enforcement.
So, yeah, another uh another good example.
Jimmy in Brooklyn, uh great to have you next.
Hello, sir.
Hi.
This uh Muslim terrorist who shot the cop that you and Nicola were just talking about, he said it's because the cops defend a system that's against Islam.
That's exactly what the communists teach.
In fact, Lenin himself wrote that in capitalist countries, cops and uh military are the force that keep capitalism in power and defend it, therefore we have to destroy it.
It's not a coincidence that you see a lot of these radical Muslims sounding like and acting like communists because they've had a connection for several decades.
I have publications from the Soviet Union where they talk about training Muslim leaders and some of the things the Muslim leaders trained by the Soviets, some of the things they say is socialism came from the Quran, and Muslims have to support the Soviet Union because God willed the founding of the Soviet Union.
And if a fatwa is issued against opponents of the Soviet Union, it's and you get killed, it's not a sin because you're opposing the Soviet Union, which God willed.
It's not a coincidence when you see Soviet weapons in the hand of radical terrorist Muslims.
It's not a coincidence when you see the the radical Muslim states armed by the Soviets attacking Israel.
This has been going on.
I have stuff set the year 1785, uh Catherine the Second of Russia used Islam to get the neighboring Muslims, the neighboring to Russia, to wage war against Russia's enemies.
Let me let me interrupt you just a quick question, because I'm sure there are people in the audience wondering how does this how does this jive with the Soviet Union invading Afghanistan, an Islamic country?
Because uh the there was a group of people in Afghanistan that didn't want the socialist dictated that the Soviets basically installed.
So they started opposing and fighting against the uh the communist uh uh Afghan leader, and then that leader called in uh Soviet troops, and that's uh they said it's because it's uh enforcing the treaty that was uh signed between the Soviet Afghanistan.
Well, you know, it's interesting th that the the you you talk about the ties between uh militant Islam and communism.
There are also tremendous ties between militant Islam and Nazism.
Um and the commonality there is anti-Semitism.
Right.
Well, in Christian Marxist unity, that's liberation theology, where they teach basically that Jesus was a Marxist, and you know, they get people then like in Latin America, there's a lot of communism uh controlling a lot of the churches.
Right.
Well, the same way the communists penetrated the Christian religion, they penetrated Islam, because it used to be Arab terrorism and Mid East terrorism.
It only became Islamic terrorism when the religion itself was penetrated.
If you could teach people they're not dying for Marx, they're dying for Allah.
You have a more dangerous militant force who's not only not afraid to die, they want to die.
It's a terrible, terrible enemy.
And uh this is why Putin's assassins murdered Litvanyanko, the FSB Russian intelligence agent in London several years ago.
Polonium 210.
Yeah, because he exposed the fact that the number one Al Qaeda leader now, Eamon Al-Zawahiri, was trained in Russian camps, and he had to be killed.
Now there's another FSB de facto saying that ISIS is working with Russian intelligence.
And this is big news all over Eastern Europe, but for some reason, this side of the world never gets the type of information or they get it later than other parts of the world.
I have Soviet publications, Rush.
I wish there was a way I could send them to you.
You'd be surprised the stuff they say.
Well, no.
I I well, maybe some of them.
Um, but these alliances that that you're talking about, our our heads collectively in this country are really in the sand, regardless what you might believe about alliances between, say, the Soviet Union and militant Islam, whether you believe that or not.
The fact of the matter is that forces of evil are on the march uh all over the world, and we have uh segment of our population still obsessed with Kim Kardashian's dairy air and her kids and so forth.
I mean, we we really do have an insular aspect to much of our culture and society here that is uh not healthy.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, Jimmy.
Thanks.
It's great to hear from people from Brooklyn.
We'll be back here in just a second.
Don't go away.
And we're back on the cutting edge, oh Rushbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
Okay, the last big segment of stuff here is the Clinton stuff.
And I want to take you back to this program, December 5th, 2014.
Now, everybody's been saying it the last two, three weeks or months, but I just want you to know.
And you listen here and you are on the cutting edge.
I want to remind you, refresh your memoir, what I said a little over what would be 14 little over a year, right here on this program.
You wait until these millennials find out how she enabled her husband to sexually whatever, abuse one of all of these women.
They weren't alive when that happened.
They weren't alive during Paula Jones and Jennifer Flowers and Kathleen Wheeler.
They weren't old enough to remember it.
Lewinsky and all that, wait till they find out.
Let me put it to you this way.
Today's millennials, if, if, don't misquote me on this.
If they found out that Obama was run around serially involved in adulterous relationships, and Michelle Obama was in charge of ruining the reputations of the women involved.
You think the millennials would put up with it?
Well, wait till they find out that Hillary ran the bimbo eruptions.
This generation of young people, gay marriage, all of this stuff, fine and dandy feminism totally runs their show.
You wait till they find out Hillary's role in what she did to other women.
I'm telling you.
Exactly right, particularly with this uh it may be phantom, but they still think there's a giant rape culture on campus.
And they think that women are being abused left and right, and they're not tolerating it, they're not putting up with it.
And they don't know this about the Clintons because until Trump started talking about it, nobody else had the guts to.
Nobody wanted to bring it up.
But Trump is.
You know, and Hillary started it.
Hillary started it by calling him a sexist.
Because he was talking about her in certain ways, and then he just fired back.
Oh, I'm a sexist?
Really?
You be very careful, Hillary going there, given your husband and his past and the way you covered up for him.
You better be real careful.
And I think the Clintons are on the run from this now.
Young reporterettes are asking Bill Clinton about this, and he will not answer it.
He runs off stage or makes some excuse.
Trump has even put together an ad.
This is a devastating video that connects Hillary to Lewinsky and and uh Wiener.
Anthony Wiener and Bill Cosby.
Here's the audio of the ad.
Now, let me describe it.
It opens here with an image of then President Clinton with Monica Lewinsky.
And then an image of President Clinton on the cover of the Daily News with the headline Liar Liar.
And next is an image of Hillary Clinton speaking with Anthony Wiener.
And then an image of Anthony Wiener on the cover of the New York Post with the headline, Wiener's Rise and Fall.
And then there's an image of Mrs. Clinton with Bill Cosby.
And then an on-screen green graphic says, true defender of women's rights.
Trump, make America great again.
It's only 13 seconds, the audio, but that's the video that you see as you hear this.
Women's rights are human rights, and human rights are women's rights once and for all.
Let's keep fighting for opportunity and dignity.
That's it.
And this is that's that it was actually it's an ad.
It's on Trump's Instagram page.
And with Hillary saying all this, the effort here, the point is to illustrate how phony it all is, that she's not this great defender of women.
You know, she's out there saying she said not long ago that every woman that comes forward with a story of abuse is required to be believed.
You have a right to be believed.
And it's like Tone Def, does she not know how that opens her up for people to talk about Juanita Broderick, who claimed that Bill Clinton raped her, still claiming it.
She's 73 years old, she's back on Twitter now explaining what happened and how she still hasn't gotten over it, and Paula Jones, and to have all these young millennial infobabes who are just getting up to speed on this.
Yesterday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at a Hillary event.
Bill Clinton speaking with reporters during the QA, NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker and Bill Clinton have this exchange.
Donald Trump is again today making an issue of your past transgressions.
Do you want to respond?
And are you worried that your past could hurt your wife's campaign?
I don't have any response.
It's B. Winslow Republican nomination will have plenty of time to talk about it.
I have no interest in getting involved in their politics or doing anything except trying to help.
No comment.
I uh I have no interest in getting involved in uh their politics doing anything except trying to help Hillary now that's why I'm out of here, babe.
And he's off gone stage.
Vominos.
Here next, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
This is the daily caller correspondent Carrie Pickett, and the NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker, and Clinton continue with this exchange.
Mr. President, he says he opened the article.
Do you get a lot of people?
He said a lot of things.
What's your reaction to Juanita Broderick's reemergence?
What folks Clinton has never been asked about this.
Now, there were reports on it.
Lisa Myers, when she was at NBC, put together a good report on this.
But I mean, Clinton's never, they've never confronted with this stuff, questions like this.
Certainly not from the media.
Here's David Axelrod, CNN this morning, Allison Camarada, uh, says, you know, you you you see Hillary Clinton there with Bill Cosby, you see her with Anthony Wiener, Monica Lewinsky.
How effective you think this Trump ad is?
It is consistent with his approach in this entire campaign.
He has no personal boundaries when it comes to his own rhetoric, and this is a reflection of that.
There's nowhere he won't go.
This is obviously something that is in the background when you have the discussion about the Clintons.
I think there's going to be a potential backlash over this kind of approach if this were actually to become a meme of the Republican nominee, whether it's him or someone else.
Nope, no, not anymore.
There would have been a backlash, and there was.
There were plenty of backlashes back in the 90s.
It didn't work, but this is a different group of people.
There's not going to be any backlash.
The Clintons are not held in any super loved position.
I mean, back in the 90s, a whole different ball of wax.
The Clintons in the media.
I mean, they had this love fest, and the Clintons were on a pedestal, and they were untouchable and they were adored.
They were like Hollywood political celebrities.
That's not the case today.
Not with Uh this new generation of people.
And it's not possible for them to be.
They didn't grow up as part of this.
They might have been taught various things about a school, but they did not grow up.
So they it's it's not possible for them to have the idolatry of the Clintons that the media back then did.
Here's an example.
Chris Salizza in the Washington Post.
That's for those in real Linda, the Washington Post.
Donald Trump just threw the kitchen sink at the Clintons.
He's talking about this Instagram video, audio of which we just played for you.
He can't believe it.
And the reason he can't believe it is because it would not have happened.
He was around doing stuff back then.
He can't believe Trump just threw the kitchen sink at them.
Meaning the Clintons are finally getting the treatment every other candidate gets.
That's the thing they've never had.
With all these transgressions, all of these risky behaviors, all these violations.
The Clintons were never treated like other campaigns and candidates are.
And they are being treated that way, and they're not prepared for it.
And the media that sheltered and protected the Clintons are watching all this wide-eyed.
And now there are stories, shocking media photo of Hillary Clinton causes stir.
It's a series of very unflattering photos.
I was the first to raise that question, too.
Does the American people actually want to sit around and watch their president age dramatically right in front of them in office?
So and this doesn't even touch the FBI investigation.
Bob Tyrrell, R. Emmett Tyrell.
American Spectator, the Bell's Tall for Hillary.
Devastating peace.
So it's a different, it's a different world.
But Mrs. Clinton still thinks it's the 90s.
Bill still thinks it's the 90s.
And it isn't anymore.
Got to take a quick time out, though.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
I've got the tie or the Taya Kyle soundbite from Obama's.
But I don't have to.
Let me get another call.
You know, the fair thing to do, if ask people to call here and they've been on hold waiting patiently.
Let me grab uh Paul in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Paul, I'm glad you call.
Welcome.
Thank you, Rush.
I'm a white blue-collar conservative union member, and I'm voting for Donald Trump.
if I have to write them in on Election Day.
My differences between the Democrats and the Republicans are irreconcilable.
There's nothing that the establishment non-producing class can do to cause me to vote for them ever again.
Really?
Nothing.
Ever.
If you are an establishment politically correct, Republican or Democrat, our differences are irreconcilable.
The Republicans are politically correct.
The establishment Republicans are politically correct, cowards.
That all they're interested in is uh maintaining their own uh let me ask you this quickly before I have to go.
Is there anything Trump could do to lose your support?
Become an establishment republic Republican.
Yeah.
Good answer.
I set myself up for that.
There you have it.
I don't know what it how big an example that is, but it it makes my point that Trump has a bond with his voters' supporters out there that I don't think your average political consultant or even candidate understands.
I don't think they understand the bond.
And they don't know how to deal with it as such.
Thank you, Paul.
Quick timeout and back to wrap up.
Pittsburgh Steelers to cover up for the weaknesses they have on defense in the secondary.
If you want to know what they're going to win or lose, keep a sharp eye on the takeover takeaway ratio.
