You know, the drive-bys are just, they're so bent out of shape over Trump's, what they think is Trump's extreme vetting policies when it comes to deciding who gets admitted to the country and who doesn't.
It's like everything else.
It's like immigration.
There's so many things about immigration people don't know.
Do you realize from 1924 to 1965, there wasn't any immigration?
You know, every time I say this, it reaches people who've never heard it and can't believe it.
From 1924 to 1965, zip-zero nada immigration.
It was thought that we needed that much time to assimilate all the people who emigrated to the country beginning in the late 1800s through World War I and so forth, Ellis Island, and they came in through many different ports of call.
And they had to be assimilated.
And Teddy Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy came along in 1965 with the Renewed Immigration Act, whatever that thing was called.
And the modern era of immigration, which has led to massive illegal immigration, was begun.
And that got so out of control that in 1986, the Simpson-Mazzoli Act was passed.
And that granted amnesty to about 3 million illegals were here at the time.
And the assurance would be that no more would be permitted.
But since the Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass of dependent people, uninterested or incapable of self-sufficiency and self-reliance, we keep the borders open.
And since the Chamber of Commerce wants those people for cheap labor, the Republican Party has been brought on board to now support the whole concept of amnesty.
But from 24 to 65, there wasn't any.
By the same token, folks, what are the years here?
The U.S. government policy from 1952 until around 1990, I'm not sure if it was 1991, 92, but from 1952 to 1990, we had what would be called today extreme vetting policies in order to keep undesirable people out of the country.
That's what the federal government's job is.
It's defend and protect the citizens, to uphold the integrity of the country and its borders.
But now in a globalist world where nations' borders are to be de-emphasized and there really aren't nation states anymore and we want to get to that point, why if anybody wants to go anywhere, we find a way to let them.
And particularly if they want to go to America, because we need to cut America down to size.
That's what the rest of the world thinks.
And the American people have seen fit to elect presidents who happen to agree with the rest of the world that the U.S. needs to be cut down to size.
The Nationality Act, 1952, is what I'm talking about.
Nationality Act 1952, even Jimmy Carter cited it to justify his ban on Iranians coming to the U.S. after the Iranian hostage crisis.
Did you know that?
I'm sure you didn't.
Some of you probably did.
But when the Iranians in 1979 took all those Americans hostage, Jimmy Carter banned all Iranians from coming into the country as a retaliatory step.
And he cited the Nationality Act of 1952 to do it.
It was intended, it was passed in 1952, it was intended to keep communists out, but it was used and applied to other undesirables.
Large parts of the Nationality Act of 1952 are still in effect, including a prohibition against people who believe in polygamy or who promote it, which, of course, is a tenet of Sharia law.
Have as many wives as you want.
So we have a, in addition, we have used religion to keep people out.
You can't convince millennials today of that.
They don't think America was ever that audacious.
You know, we used to keep certain religions out of this country on purpose.
If they were at war in certain places, and people, no, we never did.
You can't prove it.
Yes, I can.
You take a look at the form that anybody seeking asylum has to fill out.
One of the questions is what religion are you?
Especially because most people seeking asylum claim that they're fleeing religious persecution or religious war in their homeland.
Well, you got to ask them, well, okay, where are you from?
What religion are you?
What religion is being persecuted?
Why are you, you have to track all that down.
We've always asked people what their religion is, and we've used it to keep people out.
There's nothing new here with what Donald Trump wants to do.
None.
And all Trump is saying is any undesirables, you want to come into this country and kill Americans.
We're not going to let you.
And we're going to interview you and vet you, and we're going to find out.
We're going to keep going.
We're going to find out.
If you come from a religious belief or political belief that thinks America is the enemy and you need to kill them or discriminate, we're not going to let you in.
I would think that would be very important to gays, lesbians, transgenders, infidels.
And over here, it's the Democrat Party that wants to let all those people in.
It's almost an exact role reversal.
Greetings and welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone at 800-282-2882.
Back to the Trump speech yesterday, foreign policy speech.
Newt Gingrich said the foreign policy speech of all foreign policy speeches since the Reagan era.
Newt says it's that important.
We resume now with Trump explaining his extreme vetting, and you will hear that he gets sustained applause during this.
I call it extreme vetting.
In addition to screening out all members of the sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen out any who have hostile attitudes toward our country or its principles, or who believe that Sharia law should supplant American law.
Those who do not believe in our Constitution or who support bigotry and hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country.
To put these new procedures in place, we will have to temporarily suspend immigration from some of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting terrorism.
Not for us.
Not for us.
What do you think he's talking about there?
That's exactly what I mentioned at the top of the program.
When he is talking about we must screen out any who have hostile attitudes toward our country or its principles or who believe Sharia law should supplant American law, that means if you want to come in here and you don't like our gays and you don't like our lesbians and you don't like our transgenders and you don't think they should be allowed to do any of that and you don't like the way women have all the freedom they have in this country, we're not letting you in here.
We do not believe in that and we don't want you to come in here and undermine our country and we're going to find out we're not going to let you in.
People going, yeah, yeah, yeah, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Now stop and think of this.
Who is it that is stating flat out an open defense of homosexuality and its itinerant behaviors, transgenderism, lesbianism, and people that don't believe in Islam,
who is it that's saying his foreign policy is going to be such that those people not going to get in here, they're not going to be allowed to practice their hatred or their bigotry or whatever.
The Republican candidate.
This is going to be a head scratcher for activist gays, politically activist gays, most of whom are very liberal and support Democrats.
Because over here, Hillary Clinton, no such circumstances.
If they want to come in, she wants to let them in.
If they are minorities, and if really the only criteria that Democrats have when it comes to immigration, and you can laugh or you can get mad, I'm here to tell you the primary criteria the Democrats have, let's be specific, these 60,000 refugees from Syria she wants to let in, but Obama is letting 10,000 in.
She wants to up that by 500%.
So what, 50,000, 60,000 a year?
You know why?
The odds are they're going to vote Democrat.
That's the primary concern the Democrats have when it comes to immigration.
That's why they support illegal immigration.
That's why they support the immigration of people who are impoverished, undereducated.
They're not able to fend for themselves, take care of themselves.
They're not capable of self-reliance.
They automatically arrive in America independent, guaranteed to register and vote Democrat.
That's the number one criteria.
Not whether they hate gays, not whether they hate lesbians or transgenders or Christians.
Imagine.
Imagine this role reversal.
Now, Grab Soundbite 21, Waleed Farris this afternoon of Fox Business Channel, Neil Cavuto, said, no, actually, Charles Payne is sitting in for Cavuto.
And Charles Payne said to Walid Farris, are the people screening immigrants who want to come to the U.S. currently missing something in the process?
They're not focused enough with respect to allegiance to dangerous terror groups.
Since 2009, the Obama administration has denied for these agencies to use any reference to jihadi ideology.
So you are checking on an individual coming from Aleppo, coming from Mosul, coming from Cyprus, without even considering that this person is part of this ideology.
So you check on the police record, you check on his or her psychological situation.
Has there been any crime in their lives?
Everything checks.
Go in.
The one thing that is important is the jihadi ideology, no check.
In other words, what he's saying is the current policy, the current vetting policy is not permitted.
It is not permitted to find out if they are jihadists, if they're militant Islamists, if they are terrorist-related.
Not permitted to ask it.
Under the Obama administration, not permitted to ask it.
What Trump is suggesting is that's going to change.
Trump's saying to hell with that.
We're going to find out who's coming in here, and we're going to find out why they want in.
And we're going to leave no stone unturned in finding out who they are and why they want to come in.
And we're going to find out.
And anybody wants to come in here that wants to disrespect our country, to hurt Americans, to discriminate, we're not going to let them in, which is consistent with American foreign policy from the get-go.
Well, I shouldn't say the get-go.
I mean, the early days of the country, they let anybody in.
We were interested in growing the population.
But in the modern era, we have always vetted people coming into the country.
We have always been responsible about it.
Current regime is not.
And this is all Trump is saying in his foreign policy speech.
And all of these details that you're learning here are exactly why the media is not spending a lot of time on the details of the speech.
The only thing you're hearing probably is that Trump once again displayed his lunatic lack of understanding, his unfitness for office, or whatever it is, however it is they're characterizing it.
But substance-wise, you look at the people who heard it, knew what he was talking about.
We'll come back and get back to your phone calls after this.
So don't go away, folks.
Okay, we go back to the phones.
This is Mark in Waterford, Michigan.
Great to have you on the EIB Network.
Hello, Mark.
Thank you.
Glad to be here today.
You know, there's something that has never set right with me with regard to the Hillary Clinton candidacy.
If you remember back before she declared that she was going to be running, she was going through this hemming and hawing, playing with the press and saying, I don't know if I really want to, I don't know if I'm going to do this.
I'm not sure.
And everybody knew she was.
And I think even you said, you know, she's going to run.
But to be honest with you, I've always had this kind of funny feeling that this was not really about her.
This was about Bill Clinton.
And I think that she's running, even if they have to prop her up in a stick behind a podium every time she goes before the public, she's going to be like a puppet president and allow her husband to be the third and fourth term of his first two terms.
In other words, Hillary is a surrogate.
Yes.
Well, I mean, I can't see.
She is so ineffective at everything that she's done.
Even when she was first lady, she tried to do health care, Hillary Care.
It failed miserably.
And we see now that Obamacare obviously is failing miserably.
It was a very similar program.
Oh, wait till you hear the news today on Obama.
This is stunning.
We've got, who is it?
Who is it?
Edna's put 11 out of 15 exchanges are pulling out of.
But the Edna CEO, this guy, what he says is just, it's laughable.
I'll get to that in just a second.
Look, let me respectfully disagree with you here.
I think it may be, in fact, the other way around.
We're dealing with Nurse Ratchet.
We're not dealing with an invalid here.
And in fact, your theory may be more applicable in reverse during Bill Clinton's presidency when she, behind the scenes, was actually running the show, and he was dodging ashtrays if he disagreed with what she wanted to do.
Now, I'm exaggerating a little bit here, but this woman is not a wallflower.
This woman is not a front for anybody.
This woman has been thinking the presidency should have been hers in 1992, and she's been ticked off that she couldn't run and win as a woman in 1992 because of the discriminatory tendencies of our backward patriarchal society.
She's been harboring resentment about that going back to the Watergate days when she got thrown off for trying to deny a Republican his constitutional rights.
Republicans don't deserve constitutional rights in her world.
She got canned anyway.
She failed a bar exam in Washington.
That's why she had to go to Arkansas.
And boy, people have been paying the price for making her do that ever since.
Now, I admit to you, she looks frail.
That's why I, you know, there is nothing to be gained by pointing this out either.
I mean, I'm just, she did not, I don't know.
I know what you're saying.
You think Trump looks good?
What about Trump's?
I'm not, folks.
I'm not talking about attractiveness or hairstyles or anything.
I'm just talking about she just didn't look good.
You know what that means?
You've seen people that don't look good, that don't look healthy, that don't look.
I don't know.
Nothing to be gained by pointing this out.
I probably should never have gone there.
But I did finish.
That's all I'm going to say about it.
I said it the first hour.
But I don't doubt.
Now, Mark, don't misunderstand.
Bill Clinton's not a wallflower either.
And he's not just going to be hosting tea for the first ladies that show up with their husbands who are visiting Hillary.
I mean, it was a co-presidency back then.
And I think you're right, it's going to be a co-presidency this time around, too.
It'll be both of them.
Blue plate special.
That's what they said.
But she's not.
She's not going to take the background position.
She's not going to be a figurehead.
This campaign, it's hard for people to understand this level of ambition.
Most people don't have it.
Most people don't have it because most people don't have the singular craving for power that these two people have.
So it's hard to relate.
But she, in her mind, has been destined for this since whenever college, junior high, I don't know when.
In her mind, she has been destined for it.
And then there's a support group and a bunch of sycophants that sprung up around the Clintons in their college days that has been behind them all the way.
And it's grown and it's festered as they have grown.
They're fundraising groups, all of their donors from all over the world.
I mean, it is a huge, huge, huge political machine that spans the globe.
And he's going to get his shots.
He's going to have, he's going to, he's going to, you know, but she's not a placeholder for him.
In their world, he had his turn.
Now it's hers.
And he's got to go to the background like she did and put up on all the crap she put up.
His turn now.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Rushlin boy, you can count on it.
So how many days have Louisiana, Mississippi been devastated with floods that have cost a lot of lives, displaced, you know, I mean, like thousands of people have been displaced.
How many people lost their homes?
This flooding in Louisiana?
A lot of people.
In fact, even in the New York Post today, there was a story, an actor who lives in Baton Rouge lost his home.
It kind of ticks me off.
A lot of people lost their homes, and they didn't get their names in the paper.
But an actor did.
His name is Wendell Pierce.
And I used to love Wendell Pierce until I found out, you know, I hate this.
I just hate this.
Wendell Pierce played Clarence Thomas in the HBO movie with Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill hearings.
But that's not, he was in the wire, was just great.
I mean, Wendell, and he's in Ray Donovan.
He was in a season of Ray Donovan as a corrupt parole officer, keeping an eye on Ray Donovan's dad, John Voigt, Mickey Donovan.
Just hilarious.
And he plays in suits, another favorite show of mine.
And then I found out that the guy is just totally in tank for Hillary.
And it just, it just, I'm sorry, it just, I wish it didn't.
In fact, in fact, there is a story that dates back to July.
A guy by the name of Michael Bennett, players of the Seattle Seahawks, showed up at a training camp practice wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt.
The reporters covering a team went, why, look at this.
And Michael Bennett is one of the starting 22s.
He shows up wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt.
That's a profound political statement.
So I asked Michael Bennett about it.
He said, Yeah, you know what?
There aren't enough of us in the NFL that speak out on these things.
You look at the NBA.
The NBA, doesn't matter.
Every player will tell you what he thinks.
And it's great.
But we, we in the NFL, we got nobody with guts.
We don't have people tell you what they think about their political views or social views.
And you know why?
Well, Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Packers.
Yeah, well, the league doesn't want us to.
The league doesn't want to screw it around with the brand.
It's just safer not to say anything.
I've actually had conversations about this with people about why so many prominent athletes don't.
Michael Jordan's the most prominent, and he always said, look, Republicans buy sneakers too.
Why tick them off?
But the pressure is being brought to bear now on athletes to speak out.
And particularly on NFL athletes, because they are the most silent.
The NBA, Bennett is right.
The NBA is practically, there are no restrictions on them, and they're all speaking.
And Bennett says, look, man, we are the conduits for so much of the stuff that's sold in this country.
We players.
We're the conduits for selling beer.
We're the conduits for selling shoes.
We're the conduits for selling shirts.
We're the conduits for selling food.
We're the conduits.
We are powerful.
We players are powerful.
We influence people.
It's not even if we do endorsements or not.
It's just we are playing the games that generate the fan interest that exposed to the commercials.
We are the conduits selling all this stuff.
And as such, Michael Bennett said, we need to start piping up and telling people what we think.
So Cam Newton did.
Cam Newton, the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, gave an interview recently published in GQ.
And he ticked a lot of people off because you remember he had a meltdown in the post-Super Bowl press conference last year.
He didn't want to talk.
He was just depressed and angry and fed up.
They had lost.
The last thing he wanted was questions.
So he basically walked out of the press conference after a couple questions.
Coach defended him.
He was asked about that in the GQ interview.
He's asked about the criticism he got.
And the reporter said, clearly it was racist, right?
And clearly that you got the criticism because you're a black quarterback.
And Cam Newton said, no, no, man.
We're so far beyond that.
People have their opinions.
It didn't do to race.
Well, now the brothers are mad at Cam Newton for excusing or exonerating race as a factor in why he gets criticized.
They want race to be a factor.
And Cam Newton kind of ticked them off by saying, no, man, our country's moved beyond that.
It's not everything's about race.
So as Aaron Rodgers and one other NFL player quoted, you know, the league doesn't want us.
We get the vibe, man.
They don't want us weighing in on these.
Now, the reason I'm telling the story is because I kind of understand it.
There's my experience here with Wendell Pierce.
When I found out that Wendell, I can understand he's got a job.
He's an actor.
Okay, they want him to play Clarence Thomas.
Yeah, that was tough.
Admittedly, because I know Clarence Thomas, and I know that what they did with Clarence Thomas is not true in that movie.
But as far as Wendell Pierce, he's just reading the lines that somebody wrote and he's got to work and he's got to eat.
But when I found out that he's big into Hillary, I must admit that it was a disappointment.
And Michael Jackson doesn't want people, Michael Jordan does not want people being disappointed in him.
And a lot of athletes don't.
You're never going to get, look at Brady.
Look at Tom Brady.
Trump tried to lasso him in.
And he got a couple of steps.
And then Brady put the brakes up.
Brady is never going to be, you will never know a single syllable of what Brady thinks about any of this, although I can tell you, but he won't for a host of reasons.
He's got probably a career mapped out after his playing days that probably does involve telling you what he thinks about things, but he's not going to do it now.
And I understand these guys that don't want to get into the political commentary world because the country is such today that you don't just have people disagree with you.
You make enemies.
You have people that get mad at you.
And particularly, Brady, I don't know this to be, let's not use Brady.
Let's take Aaron Rodgers.
I don't like using anybody because it's hypothetical.
Take a star athlete in any city, make up a name, star athlete, put him in a city where you think the guy is probably a supporter of Republican causes.
But when he opens up, you find out he's a huge lib.
Look at how many people are going to be disappointed, let down, shocked, or whatever.
Look at how much luster the guy is going to.
They don't want to do that.
Now, I can understand that.
I can understand them wanting to remain aloof.
It's like Colin Powell.
You know, when Colin Powell, general secretary, whatever else he was, Colin Powell, at one time ran for president.
He had a 73% approval rating.
He wouldn't even identify the party that he was in.
He had a 73% approval rating.
The minute he identified as a Republican, that 73 became 50.
And then when he came out with his opinion on abortion, it ended up a little bit below 50.
Before anybody knew anything about him, when all he was was an image that had a brand that had been manufactured, 73% approval.
The minute he took a couple of political stands, bye-bye.
And he ended up not running, remember?
Didn't go anywhere.
So I understand it.
But apparently, there is now a movement in the NFL.
I don't know if Michael Bennett could be said the leader of it, but he's clearly being reported on as trying to get NFL players to weigh in on this.
Black Lives Matter and this stuff.
And I guarantee you that the league wants no part.
What I was going to point out, you know, you think I've lost my place, but I haven't.
I was going to point out, I looked at Wendell Pierce losing his house in Louisiana.
A lot of people have.
My point about that is you've had untold numbers of people displaced with full-fledged property damage.
Where's Obama?
Where is he?
He's, he and I know he's up in Martha's Vineyard and he's playing his record whatever number round of golf as president.
He's over 300 rounds now.
Can't be bothered.
Remember all the grief Bush got for flying over New Orleans and not landing there?
Remember the grief Bush got when all he did was fly over in Air Force One?
Obama hadn't even gone.
He hadn't even made any pretense.
And where is Obama in Milwaukee?
And do you know that the Department of Justice is already taking, long before this incident is already taking steps to take over and take control of the Milwaukee Police Department?
So Trump has said he's going to go to Milwaukee.
I think Trump ought to go to Louisiana too.
But he said he's going to go to Milwaukee.
So the drive-by media, CNN, caught up with somebody in Milwaukee to ask him what they think of Trump coming into Milwaukee.
This was Anna Cabrera, the correspondent on the CNN, and they found a resident of Milwaukee named LaShonda Foster.
Why is he coming?
What is he doing for our community, for that matter, anybody community?
He's already rich.
What can he do for our community that's hurting right now?
Our kids can't even go to the park where the Boys and Girls Club at.
They scared.
The good others are scared to be out here.
I have a 12-year-old.
He can't even come to the park.
Well, so why is Trump going?
He's already rich.
What can he do for our community?
He's already rich.
We had a sound bite yesterday.
You people there, you ticked off that the rich have all the money not giving it to you.
Maybe Trump wants to come give you some.
You don't notice he shows up.
But Obama hasn't been either.
Obama's not going to go.
Obama's getting memos from on-site.
Everything's going as planned.
Yeah, this Obamacare at Aetna bopping out.
Part of the plan.
Mission accomplished.
Black Lives Matter raising hell everywhere.
Mission accomplished.
Brief timeout.
Mission accomplished.
Back in a second.
Oh, no, of course not.
Not to mention, Hillary's nowhere near Milwaukee.
Trump is going to be in Milwaukee campaigning with Scott Walker.
But he's going to be there.
But you heard, you heard the Shonda Foster.
Why is he coming?
What is he doing for our community?
For that matter, anybody community?
He's already rich.
What can he do for our community that's hurting right now?
What can Obama do?
Obama's already rich.
What can Hillary do?
Hillary's.
What's that got to do with anything anyway?
Like I told you yesterday, it's the way these people define trickle-down.
I'm telling you, these people that vote Democrat are ignorant.
They're ignorant because they've been lied to.
They really don't know how economics functions.
They don't know what commerce is.
They really believe Trickle Down is rich people giving money away.
And when the rich don't do it, why Reaganomics don't work?
Trigonomics don't work.
Trickle Down don't work.
Teddy Kennedy give his money away.
Warren Buffett giving his money away.
George Soros giving his money away.
Not to these people.
George Soros is donating.
You would not believe what George Soros.
George Soros is donating to every disruptive group around the world that can destroy Israel and undermine the U.S. George Soros is undermining them.
And that would include the Democrat Party.
These people, why Trump coming here?
He already got his money.
What would he do for us in our community?
Never ask, what can we do for our community?
Well, what can anybody come here and do for us?
He's not going to do anything for us.
See what the Democrats have done to these people.
They've taken their humanity away from them.
They've taken their whole notion of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, can-do, spirit, all that stuff.
Vominos.
As to Aetna, Aetna is one of the largest health insurers in the country.
They were all in with Obamacare.
They were one of, there was Kaiser Permanente, there was Blue Cross, Blue Shield.
You know why they were all in?
This is, by the way, this, folks, is a classic example of cronyism.
This should have been the example I've been using all week and last week, too, to explain this.
On the one hand, you have a bunch of big private sector businesses who, in the normal proceedings of every day, would want nothing to do with the government.
The government regulates them, over-regulates them.
They would rather be able to compete everywhere and sell their policies or whatever they would do rather than have to labor under all of these regulations and restrictions.
If left to their own devices, people that run these big corporations like this would want nothing to do with liberalism or big government quacks or what have you.
But here comes Obama.
And Obama wants national health care for everybody.
He knows most people don't.
So how does he do it?
Well, he's got to have allies.
So he puts in his plan a mandate, which is unconstitutional, a mandate, a requirement that every American buy health insurance.
Well, if you work at Etten, if you run Eton, if you run Blue Cross Blue Shield, why wouldn't you get in bed with that?
I mean, to hell with whatever I'm conservative or liberal, to hell with America, to hell with patriotism.
If the president's going to demand that everybody in the country is my customer, sign me up.
And that's what they did.
They all signed up and they became total supporters of Obamacare because Obamacare had in it this requirement that we all become insurance customers.
And they said, we're happy to set up and work with these state exchanges or whatever the president wants.
And they went out and they extolled the virtues and they promoted it because the president just came up with a law demanding that everybody buy their product.
Imagine running any business and having the president pass a law that says every citizen has to buy what you sell.
You'd kind of love that president too.
And you'd sign up.
And that's what they did.
Well, the company now, Aetna, announced that they're going to significantly scale back their presence in the Obamacare market.
They are at present participating in 15 states.
They're going to get out of 11.
You know why?
Aetna lost $200 million in the second quarter in the state exchanges.
They lost $200 million.
They lost $200 million in a business where every American was required to buy their product.
And they still managed to lose $200 million.
And the Aetna CEO, as he gets out of 11 of the 15, still praises these exchanges, talks about how wonderful they are.
He can't separate from Obama.
He's got to maintain the cronyism, but he's getting out of the business to save the company.
Obamacare.
It's a disaster to everybody that comes in contact with it.
You people live in Tennessee, the Obamacare Exchange.
Reports are that your premiums will increase 40% or more starting in October because of Obamacare.
