Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes.
And maybe I shouldn't speak so loud so as not to frighten the 24-year-old young women.
In the audience who are becoming socialists, it's a major problem.
No, no, no, no, don't laugh.
It's actually happening.
All the millennials that are glomming on to Bernie Sanders, it's, you know, 42% of the Democrat Party now admits that they are socialist and they favor socialism.
17% of the Republican Party favors socialism now.
Now, there's a reason for this.
It's what's being taught.
All this stuff going on campus for all of these years, it has a real world result and application.
And it's something that is almost, it's not exclusively, but boy, it's pretty close to exclusive to young people, millennials in general, who are finding an attraction to socialism because it's being lied about.
I mean, the way it's being taught, it's being lied about.
Fairness, equality, nobody ever left out.
I mean, everybody has something.
And of course, the proof is all over the world.
But one of the greatest examples, I saw it written about in a story today on the Super Bowl.
A reporter, it doesn't matter who, folks, in the sports, they're all leftist drive-bys.
It doesn't matter who.
Was talking about San Francisco.
Oh, it's one of the most beautiful cities.
It's one of the greatest cities in the world.
Oh, my God.
It's so beautiful.
It's just, it's one of a kind went on and on extolling the virtues of San Francisco.
And I knew it was going somewhere, and it was.
This particular reporter was shocked and saddened at how much homelessness he saw just walking the city.
He could not believe that in America in 2016, this problem exists to this degree.
He said he's seen homeless before, but he hasn't seen 75 to 100 of them per block.
Well, San Francisco is not exactly a conservative place.
Safe to say San Francisco has never been a conservative place.
Safe to say San Francisco is liberal mecca.
Culturally, especially, San Francisco is exactly what the socialist utopians think is socialist utopia.
And yet they hate the cops there.
They hate the, well, you know the drill.
The homelessness is as bad there as it is anywhere in the country.
Now, what this guy probably did not want to admit or reference, all this is happening during a Democrat presidency.
I mean, it's one thing to have the homeless on the streets when a George W. Bush is in the White House, because obviously Republicans don't care.
Republicans don't care if people are getting sick and dying in the streets.
But we liberal Democrats, why, we, we care, and we have all the compassion, and we have raised taxes, and we have done everything we can to stop this, and yet it's worse.
No matter where you go in this country, every problem the left loses their cookies over, every problem they wring their hands, every so-called problem, is worse by a factor of five in cities they run.
Now, do you think these young kids coming out of college extolling the virtues of socialism are being taught any of this?
No, they're being taught socialist theory.
Socialist theory works every time you theorize about it.
Socialism fails every time it's tried, but those instances are not referenced.
So it is a problem.
That's why it matters when Republican candidates characterize Obama and his motives.
It's why it matters.
This is Obama's America.
He is responsible for this.
He is seeing to it that this happens.
He thinks there's a price to pay for our superpower status.
It's illegitimate.
All of our wealth, in Obama's view, is irrelevant.
And it is unjust because we have stolen it from others.
We have not genuinely produced it.
So all of the wealth and all the superpower status and all of that, as far as Obama's concerned, it's illegitimate because it has been acquired by ill-gotten means and plundering resources from around the world.
You name it.
And so Obama's view is it's time we paid the price.
And it's time we found out the kind of life we have brought to others in the world.
It's time we found out the way other people have to live because of us.
And so if there's a lot of homeless in San Francisco, sorry, price we have to pay.
This is just the devil making his due.
This is just whatever come and do.
This is just everything being evened out.
And so when Rubio or Cruz characterized this as purposeful, it damn well is.
An internal poll, I'm sorry, internal poll conducted yesterday.
This is from the Politico, by the way.
Let me just read this to you.
An internal poll conducted on Sunday suggests that Marco Rubio's fumbled debate performance has damaged his prospects heading into the New Hampshire primary tomorrow.
The poll was conducted by, are you ready for this?
The pro-John Kasich New Day for America Super PAC.
Well, so Sam, we have a John Kerry poll that says a Rubio stepped in it.
That's big news.
That's what's being reported right here.
You're in the Politico.
A poll conducted by the pro-John Kasich New Day for America Super PAC shows that Rubio's plummeted to fourth place in the New Hampshire primary with 10% of the vote.
Most of the polling conducted in the immediate days after, I'm sorry, the immediate days before the debate showed Rubio in second place.
The survey was based on 500 phone calls.
Phone calls to 500 likely voters.
The margin of error, according to Kasich's poll, is plus or minus 3%.
It was conducted yesterday, the day following the Republican debate.
Donald Trump leads big in the John Kasich poll, 35%.
He doubles Kasich, who is in second place in his own poll at 15%.
Jeb Bush, third place at 13%.
Marco Rubio in fifth and sixth place.
Fourth place, Rubio in fourth place.
And Christie and Ted Cruz are in fifth and sixth place at 8%.
So Ted Cruz is at the bottom of the John Kasich poll.
I'm sorry.
Turn on the ditto cam.
There it is.
I'm sorry.
I didn't have that off on purpose.
Who asked you?
Okay.
I'm always curious when people notice, you know, that it's not on.
So in Kasich's own poll, Cruz is at the bottom 8%, Kasich's in second place, Trump at 35%, and Rubio has seen the bottom fallout.
And right there it is in the Politico.
Now, since they've got that, let's look at some polls that were announced, published today, Real Clear Politics.
Trump 34, Rubio 13, Cruz 13, Kasich 10, Bush 10, Christie 5, Fiorita 4, and Carson 3.
So Cruz and Rubio tied for second in this one.
Democrats, same Paul, Sanders 56, Clinton 40.
In the ARG New Hampshire primary tracking poll, Trump 30, Rubio 16, Cruz 10, Kasich 16, tied with Rubio in second place.
Then Bush 9, Christie 6.
It's apparent here Christie has not gained any ground, no matter what happened to Rubio, even in Kasich's poll.
Christie has not gained any ground.
Anyway, that's a summary here.
It's impossible really to know Monmouth.
And this is from yesterday, the Monmouth College tracking poll.
Trump 30, Rubio 13, Kasich 14, Cruz 12, Bush 13.
This track's closer to Kasich's poll.
Well, except Cruz is in fourth place here instead of last.
Rubio and Bush are tied at 13 for third place, Kasich at 14.
On the Democrat side, Sanders 52, Clinton 42.
Trump has a 16-point lead in the Monmouth toll, Bernie Sanders, 10 points.
In the CNNW MUR poll, this is the one with the margin of error seven points, so you almost have to throw it out, but it has, and this is Sunday, not today, Trump 33, Rubio 16, Kasich 11, Cruz 14, so he'd be in third place, Bush 7, Fiorina 6, Christie 4, and Carson 2.
Trump with a 17-point lead there.
On the Democrat side, Sanders up by 23, 58, 35.
Which I think makes sense now to move over to the Democrat side on this.
Bill Clinton, as I said earlier, has unleashed his most direct attacks on Crazy Bernie as the New Hampshire primary voters began to make up their minds before going to the polls tomorrow.
Bill Clinton called Crazy Bernie a hypocrite for criticizing his wife for taking large speaking fees from Goldman Sachs and other...
You know, about that, I'm sorry, I can't get through this without having to opine.
I saw the number from, what is it, 2002 to the present, 2003, the Clintons combined.
Are you ready for this, Rachel?
The Clintons combined, just making speeches for an income of around $115 to $120 million.
Just making speeches.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the establishment works in miraculous ways to keep itself in the money.
And one of the ways it does it is with tricks like this.
The big banks and Wall Street are heavily invested in the Democrat Party.
So if you want to make sure that the Clintons are flush.
By the way, one of the reasons for keeping people wealthy.
I'm going to tell you a little inside story.
Back in my second year doing this, no, it would have been my fourth year.
So it's been 1992.
I met somebody whose name you would know, who is in the media business, pretty big in the media business and is conservative, who took me aside and said, here's my hope for you.
My hope for you is that you are able to acquire enough wealth so that you are able to really be who you are and say what you really think without fear of loss.
He wasn't offering to do it.
Don't misunderstand.
His point was, if you acquire enough wealth, then you're really, really free to be who you are.
If your daily existence doesn't depend on not angering people, if you can go through your day without fearing ticking somebody off who can hurt you financially, then you are going to have a much more honest career.
Now, he was not offering to make me rich.
Don't misunderstand.
It was just a, to me, it was another one of these opportunities to learn things that I've had presented to me by virtue of my own success here.
It's one of the perks.
So when I see the banks propping up the Clintons, I mean, they're not being offered $250,000 to come speak because what they say is so unique and the banks can't get it anywhere else.
And whoever the bank's audience for these speeches are, either other employees or investors.
It's not that the Clintons come and offer things that they can't get anywhere else.
It's not that the Clintons have insight that others don't have.
It's not that the Clintons, it's just, this is how the people in that club keep the individual members wealthy.
It's how the wealth is spread.
In the case of the Clintons, it is also how they invest in the possibility of the Clintons once again returning to the White House and thus being able to return favors.
So a lot of people paying the Clintons money for speeches are actually people donating to the Clintons on the come, hoping that if they get elected, there will be reciprocity in terms of favorable policy or maybe an ambassadorship or what have you.
But this is the way the world works, and this is why money is the mother's milk of politics.
The Clintons came out of the, now, they were not dirt poor, but the Clintons were not wealthy.
They had nowhere near the money they've got now.
How did they get it?
How did the Clintons end up having a fortune of $150 million when they had Clinton's salary of $400,000 as president and Hillary, whatever she had as Roe's law firm lawyer?
They didn't have any money compared to this.
I'm not saying they were dirt poor, but how they end up having $150 million for doing speeches?
Are you kidding me?
Nobody gets paid that much to do speeches because nobody has that much to say to make it that worth it.
There's something else going on here.
That's why Mrs. Clinton won't reveal the transcripts of these speeches.
Something in them would give away the game.
Something in these transcripts, either these speeches are filled with nothing but slathering, slavish, complimentary garbage about how great the banks are, how great Goldman Sachs is.
And if that's in there, there is no way Mrs. Clinton wants her average voters to see that.
As far as Democrat voters are concerned, Hillary and Bernie hate the banks.
And if there's transcripts of speeches with Hillary out there praising the banks, talking about how wonderful the banks are, saving the world, the banks are protected.
It would be a big problem.
So there's no way you're ever going to see those transcripts.
But I mean, $120 million of doing speeches.
This is so phony.
You can just see right.
And this is David, I guess, in Battleground, Washington.
Is that right?
That's correct, Rush.
I'm a longtime listener.
It's 30-plus years since I was a refugee prisoner of the University of California Davis in the People's Republic of Davis.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I've been on that campus.
I barely got out of there.
Absolutely.
Hey, great points on Rubio.
I'm a Cruz guy, but I could easily pull the trigger for Rubio.
I think the one thing he should have done, one thing he should have done is a debate with Christie is just to elaborate on the fact that he and Cruz, that Rubio and Cruz understand that Obama is nefarious, and it's not an issue of management.
It's an issue of scope, of the scope and the reach and the breadth and the role of the federal government.
And Rubio should have elaborated on that as opposed to just reverting to those talking points.
Yeah, well, we could all make some suggestions in that regard.
Had it been me, I hate doing this because when people do it.
Oh, no, it's so difficult.
Well, no, no, no, but I mean, I just think that it would have been a good differentiator if Rubio would have pointed out, hey, you guys think it's a management problem.
No, I think it's a scope problem.
That is that, you know, that Obama thinks that the government should control everything, but we think that we should have a limited government.
Rubio did a great job of explaining what conservatism really is, I think.
Yeah, he did.
Well, you're jumping my gun a little bit there, but he did have a great definition.
He and Cruz, once again, had the best definitions of conservatism.
I'm not sure Cruz even got the question.
I'm not sure.
Cruz did not get the question, but Rubio of the people that got it was hands down.
Rubio, I mean, 1,000%, best definition.
But he could have also gone back at Christie and said, Chris, the reason you don't think Obama's doing it on purpose is because you've been working with him.
He just, whatever, did not have the presence of mind to do it.
You know, going back in hindsight, people did that to me on TV.
We know what you should have said.
Screw it.
I'm quitting TV.
The hell with this.
Hissaga continues, a man, a legend, a way of life.
You see this dust up here with Gloria Steinem, the head nag.
By the way, for those of you new to the show, NAGS is our pet name for the NOW gang, national organization for what we call the National Association of Gals, the NAGs.
And Gloria Steinem just stepped.
She's so ticked off that women are abandoning Hillary.
And so what is the natural thing for these women to do?
They immediately become victims.
Hillary's running around like a victim up in New Hampshire.
Bill's running around like she's a victim of this mean dog, Bernie Sanders.
And Gloria Steinem's running around like Hillary's some poor victim of the right-wing conspiracy.
And then Madeline Albright goes out there and says there's a special place in hell for women that don't support each other.
Grab soundbites 13 and 14.
That's what I'm talking about.
This is Steinem on Friday night HBO, real time with Bill Marsh.
She has since tried to walk this back.
But Mars said to her, young women really don't like Hillary.
What do you think that's all about, Gloria?
She does have a huge gender gap and race gap.
Women are more for her than men are.
When you're young, you're thinking, you know, where are the boys?
The boys are with Bernie.
After all of these years, are you serious?
Going back to the beginnings of the modern era of the feminazis, which would be 65, 67, 68, somewhere in there, I know, because it happened to coincide when I was becoming an adult.
It's been one of the worst damn things about being alive in this era is what the feminazis did to women.
Just messed things up like you can't believe, and it's still screwed up.
Anyway, after all of these years of Gloria Steinem and the feminazis trying to rewrite history for women, after all of these years, the reason women are abandoning Hillary is boys.
Yeah, because you know these young girls, they're just going to go where the guys are.
And whatever the guys are, that's what the young girls are going to say they're interested in because they want to have a guy.
Isn't it interesting how human nature doesn't change?
Where?
1960, Connie Francis, where the boys here after 55, whatever it is, years.
Gloria Steinem is admitting zero progress.
And I can tell you what set them back.
I can tell you, and I will in a minute.
But here's Madeline Albright.
Madeline Albright was in Concord, New Hampshire during a Hillary Clinton event.
And this is what she said about this aspect of women not supporting Hillary.
You have to help.
Hillary Clinton will always be there for you.
And just remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.
Hillary just started laughing.
Oh my, it's like she had a little drink with an umbrella in it.
Like she's so much fun when the, oh man, she started laughing and everybody started laughing and mad a little bit.
But then I said, wait a minute, is that really what women are supposed to do?
Just be in solidarity with each other.
Now, why is all this happening?
Here's Gloria Steinem.
Young women support Bernie because they want attention from the boys.
Now, she's got a new book that she's plugging.
And you know who she, by the way, Gloria Steinem, you know who she's dedicating the book to?
She's dedicating her book to the doctor who performed an abortion on her in London when she was 22.
You know what we ought to do?
We ought to just start sending Gloria Steinem bags and bags of Doritos.
Don't do it, folks.
Don't do it.
But why is this happening?
I'm going to give you a partial answer to that question.
They have made their own bed.
They made their own bed in the 90s.
And they got in that bed and they have been forever corrupted.
And there's nothing they can do to change it as long as the Clintons are prominent on the public stage.
It is Bill Clinton who single-handedly, well, Ted Kennedy too, but Bill Clinton, modern era, turned feminism on its head.
He was a serial abuser of women.
And the feminist leaders of the day, Gloria Steinem and the rest of them, excused it.
They looked the other way.
When Hillary Clinton was accusing women of being bimbos, when the Clinton machine was trying to destroy women that Bill Clinton was serially abusing, out the window went the credibility of feminism.
When James Carville was able to discredit Paula Jones by running around saying, this is what you get when you wave a dollar bill through a trailer park, Gloria Steinem and her gang had no chance.
The very people they claimed to be representing and standing up for, women who were being raped, women being abused, women being mistreated, women being sexually used and discarded, Bill Clinton, the poster boy, and every woman who came forward or wanted to was threatened and intimidated into silence.
Bill Clinton's private life, they said in the Oval Office, was none of our business.
All that mattered was his policy position on abortion.
So they sold their soul way back in the 1990s.
They sold their soul to Bill Clinton in order to be true to liberalism.
They sold their soul to Hillary Clinton.
They allowed the very cause they claimed to be represented to be stomped all over and made a joke of by the two people they are trying to defend today, Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Flash forward 20 years, feminists are at war.
Some like Madam Albright are shaming young women for not supporting Hillary.
Others are shaming Hillary Clinton for being too moderate for being in bed with Wall Street.
Bill Clinton sleeping around with dozens of women was forgiven by the feminists and the women who came forward were destroyed, mocked, laughed at, made fun of by the National Organization for Women.
So we've got woman-on-woman fighting within the Democrat Party because Hillary Clinton's involved and because Bill Clinton is involved.
If Ms. Steinem wants to know why she's having these problems, she needs to look no further than the people she is promoting yet to this day.
El Rushball back at it.
Happy to with you.
Brand new week of broadcast excellence at 800-282-2882.
Here's Carla in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Hi, Carla.
Great to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
Hi, Rush.
I hope I don't have a brain freeze because this is the first time I'm getting through.
And it's because any other time I've tried to get through, you always say exactly what I'm thinking.
So I really want to know what you think about this.
You asked at the beginning of the show that the establishment all of a sudden is going after Rubio.
And why is that?
It's not because of his repeating the same line.
I think it has something to do with abortion.
I think because he's unapologetically pro-life with no exception because George Stephanopoulos was going after him on Sunday about that.
And Jeb Bush put out a comment that he doesn't support any exceptions other than the life of the mother.
So I wondered what you thought about that.
And also, I was yelling at the TV saying, say when he kept saying the same thing over again, he could have said it differently.
He could have said, this is what Rush meant when he said, I hope he failed.
He failed.
Yes.
Had he failed, he would have been a friend of mine.
Look, see, this is the point.
This is the point.
Look, she's a Rubio fan.
She's not abandoning the guy.
She was frustrated for him.
She wanted him to do better.
She was upset that he went over his having a brain freeze or whatever it was.
But she's not abandoning the guy.
Now, if you're just tuning in, I asked a question at the top of the program.
Up until yesterday, the establishment seemingly had turned to Rubio.
And in fact, this was alarming a lot of people.
You know, the establishment all in for Jeb, but it just wasn't working.
All the donors and all this, and Jeb just couldn't seem to rise above five, six, or seven points.
They don't want Cruz too conservative.
They don't want Trump, obviously.
But they were going to go with Trump.
But then Trump skipped and Trump didn't.
They did make a swerve toward Rubio.
And then the news came out anyway that they were abandoning Rubio and looking for somewhere else to go.
Donors, lobbyists, the Republican establishment.
I asked why.
Her answer on this call is because of his stand on abortion.
The establishment cannot support Rubio because of that.
And I have to tell you, when it came to the definition of conservatism and Rubio's stated position on life on Saturday night, they were both flawless.
If you happen to be a mainstream Republican primary voter, both those answers, I mean, her point is there's no way the establishment could support Rubio because there's no exceptions.
And she may be right.
That's not what I was thinking, but she may have a point.
Time will tell.
We're getting closer.
We're out of time here for this segment.
Hang on, no, Beck, and it's a second.
As is the usual case, we're out of time before I've gotten to everything.
So I've got a stack I'm starting here.
Stuff I didn't get to today that I'll have tomorrow.
