Time Text
Is that your way of steering me into the situation in Germany that you think I'm not talking about that enough?
And so you think I ought to bring that up as a subject.
This is how my staff loves me so much.
My staff is so concerned, but I might be missing the boat now and then.
That occasionally I'll get a very innocent sounding question, like I just got.
Question Do you think our friends in Europe are starting to see the light?
Do you think they're starting to get the picture?
Translation.
When are you gonna talk about Germany, doofus?
I have a stack of stuff here about Germany ready to go.
I've already predicted this.
To me, this isn't news.
I warned everybody this was gonna happen back on September 9th of 2015.
In fact, grab an audio soundbite number one.
It's the first soundbite that Cookie gave me today.
This was shortly after I learned that Angela Merkel was all excited that she's gonna open up her borders to 800,000 Syrian refugees.
See if you remember this.
After the show yesterday, I got home and was doing show prep for today, and I saw a story that Angela Merkel is gonna permit 800,000 refugees to enter Germany this year and 500,000 a year going forward.
And she's happy about it.
She's excited about it, and she even said, hopefully this will change our country.
And that stopped me dead in my tracks.
I said, whoa, what is this about?
This required further research.
These are significant numbers.
800,000, and these are Muslims.
The vast majority of these are Muslims, said to be Syrian refugees.
They're not just from Syria, but most of them are military aged men.
And they are not satisfied, as we talked about yesterday, staying in Greece or Italy.
Germany, they want Germany and Sweden.
Germany and Sweden, the two wealthiest countries in the European Union, and Germany is welcoming them.
Angela Merkel is welcoming them.
I said, Well, I was dumbfounded.
I was paralyzed.
I did not understand this at all.
You know, it is said that even modern day Germany still feels a lot of guilt over Hitler, the Nazis, and they still feel some of them that they have a long way to go to prove they are not that anymore.
And well, the thing about that is if that's true, if that's part of the policy, if it's part of the thinking that they have to go overboard and showing people they're no longer any way anywhere near what the Nazis were.
Well, they're going too far.
They went on to discuss what was going to happen here.
Uh, and it is happening.
It couldn't be otherwise.
This had to happen.
When you import military age, refugees from war-torn regions of the Middle East.
The point here is that many of them are not refugees.
They're ISIS infiltrators, they're ISIS fighters.
And Merkel, she also further research indicated that the German population rate is below replacement levels.
Meaning at current rates of fertility and birth, that Germany cannot maintain its population.
Therefore, it cannot maintain its labor force.
Therefore, it needs to import people that will enter the German label force, labor force.
And Merkel was ecstatic.
That's what she said was her primary motivation for doing this.
She was all proud that 800,000 people were coming in at first year, then 500,000 a year after that, and she thought this was gonna be a boon to the German economy.
At which time I, L. Rushbo, plainly said on this program that it's going to end up being the exact opposite.
They want to get into this country and other European countries.
The last thing they want to do is help the German economy.
That is not what this is about.
Everybody knows, should have known what this was about.
Europe is killing it.
Europe is slowly committing suicide in the sense that they are allowing their own native cultures to be erased and wiped out.
And of course, all of this is being praised.
It was praised elsewhere in the European Union, it was praised at the United Nations.
It was praised by people like Obama and Michelle Obama, who recognize people also down for the struggle and trying to overcome all the discrimination and bigotry and prejudice out there.
Then when I learned, you know, the bus that ran over people to wipe it.
Where did that happen?
It happened at what?
A Christmas market.
What is a Christmas market?
It's exactly what it sounds like.
And in fact, in fact, there were learned academics who advised Germany to not do the Christmas markets this year because it might be unnecessarily provocative for many of their new refugees.
Well, remember San Bernardino?
Do you remember what people told us was the ultimate reason why that couple went on the shooting spree?
They offended at a holiday party in the office, the government office where they worked.
They did holiday party, and they had Christmas tree, and they did all the stuff that Americans do.
And that was not fair, and that was not right.
And that was that was just lauding all, and they lost their cookies and they grabbed their guns and their mortars from their garage and they went on a spree.
And so what are European countries being advised to do?
Get rid of Christmas.
Don't flaunt it.
In other words, in other words, just forget who you are.
Hide who you are, or else you're going to be hit as though the hit would be justified.
Because you have all these new refugees and Merkel has welcomed them, and then you taunt them with Christmas markets?
Well, you kind of deserve what you're going to get.
This was all.
I don't understand why people are.
I mean, I people upset.
Yeah, but this was predictable.
This was in the cards.
It had to happen.
This is designed to happen.
It's one of the reasons why so much migration is taking place.
And it's no accident that they're seeking out the wealthiest of the European nations to uh, shall we say, uh, conquer?
I'm sorry.
Immigrate to.
To me, it's it's a no-brainer.
So the question will our uh European uh friends, what did you say seeing the light?
Are they starting to get it?
No.
I don't think they get it or understand it.
I don't think they're capable of it.
They're liberals.
We just saw liberalism on display in the aftermath of this election.
Look at the illusions they live under.
Our previous caller, Helen from Newport, she really had it right.
These people literally do think that there's something that they're not.
They think they're the majority.
They think everybody agrees with them, and when something doesn't go their way, there has to be some fraud somewhere.
There has to be some cheating.
There has to be.
They can't, they can't reconcile themselves with the fact that they are a tiny minority because they think their views and their opinions, their attitudes are so worldly and wonderful and correct that everybody agrees, and if they don't, then they're radical extremists, the alt right.
Oh, by the way, that's another, there is no alt-right.
Made up, totally made up by the drive-by media as a new way of defaming and impugning conservatism by calling it the alt-right.
Do you know what arts and enterment is doing?
AE network.
What do you associate with the AE network?
biography biography and what uh Oh, per root.
Not poirot.
Well, Arts and Entertainment is doing a four-part documentary on the KKK.
They are following four clan families around.
And it's a four-part documentary series on the rise of the Klan in America.
Now, the title doesn't say anything about Trump, and it doesn't say about the president's race.
What do you bet?
The purpose of this is to create the illusion that the KKK is ascending with Trump and feeling newly powerful and newly empowered.
Why do this now?
Why do us the KKK?
I mean, you you you need a telescope to find these people now.
But A and E, no, A and E is going to make it look like they are amongst us all.
And they are now resurfacing because they're buddy Trump.
This is not in any of the promotion materials.
I'm just I'm wild guessing that this is going to be one of the maybe subliminal messages that's in this why why do this?
I mean, this is the media lying again.
So I do not think Angela Merkel, even as her country turns against her, and even I don't think they have the capacity to admit they got something wrong.
They're gonna I d they blame it on other things, not their policy.
They blame it, they blame it on.
You can blame it on Trump.
They could blame it on the rise of extreme right-wing politics around the world.
Then they're gonna blame themselves.
Never Merkel and her buds are not gonna say that their policy hadn't do with this.
Because remember, there is no militant Islamic terrorism.
And they're not gonna change their mind about that.
Speaking about the media lying, Pat Cadell.
This is uh this from our old buddies at Breitbart.com.
Pat Cadell, Grace, that's what's missing, as Obama's prepare to leave White House.
Uh it's actually our old buddy Dan Real with the uh with the story.
Political pollster and analyst Pat Cadell told Breitbart News Daily yesterday concerning the Obamas leaving the White House.
Cadell said, we are watching this ending here.
It's not quite as bad as the Clintons.
Well, not yet.
I mean, Clintons actually stole things.
This is a you know we say this, and I'll bet you half the audience thinks I'm just making it up.
The Clintons stole furniture.
They took furniture with them when they left the White House.
Because Hillary said they were broke.
And they they took uh tape silverware, tableware, plates and stuff.
The Clintons packed up a lot of stuff and took it with them when they left.
They were entitled, don't you know?
Uh too soon to know whether the Obamas will do that, but when Cadell says it's not quite as bad as the Clintons, well, could be.
But he says the lack of grace, that's what's missing here.
Cadell's remarks came after hearing Michelle Obama's now infamous comments to Oprah.
The first lady was asked by the Oprah whether she thinks that her husband's administration achieved his promise of hope for America.
And Muchell said, I do, because we feel the difference now.
See, now we're feeling what not having hope feels like.
Oh so the last eight years with Obama and Michelle and there, we've we had hope, but now that they're leaving, all hope is vanishing.
And so, yes, my husband brought hope, and the definition of it is that he's leaving and he's taking it with him.
Hope is necessary, Muchell said.
It's a necessary concept, and Barack didn't just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes.
He and I, so many believe, what else do you have when you do not have hope?
Cadell said the Bush people, they had a certain conduct.
George W. Bush kept his mouth shut about Obama forever.
What's Obama doing saying I'm gonna be back here right after vacation, I need to be in Washington, I need to comment.
Where's the part where you gracefully leave the stage?
And I, look, I hate to be a, I told you so, but if I don't tell you, nobody else will.
Because the only time you ever hear about me in the media is when somebody's mad at me or thinks that I've made a mistake of some kind.
But they never quote me and Rush as Rush Limbaugh said.
So I've got to be one to remind you here.
I am the first to have noticed and predicted that Barack Obama was not going anywhere when he leaves the White House.
I am the first, because I said this over a year and a half ago.
When I first learned that Barack Obama Was not leaving Washington.
There's only one reason for that.
And his reason that his kids are still in school is bull hunk.
He is staying in Washington.
And I want you to prepare for this.
Because it's going to happen.
In fact, Obama, there were some people, there's another story here.
I don't know if it's in my stack or not.
But a woman was crying as she embraced Obama leaving the White.
Please don't go.
I'm so sad.
You're He said, I'm not going anywhere.
We're not going.
We're going to be right here.
What that means is Obama leaves the White House and goes to wherever his new house is going to be.
It's it's uh it's Joe, what's his name, the uh former Clinton press secretary.
He's bought his house.
This guy, we're now the PR guy for the NFL.
Joe Joe, what's I think his last name?
It'll come to me.
Doesn't matter.
No, not trippy, not trippy.
Uh trippy's on Fox.
No, no, no.
It may not even be Joe, but it's whoever left the Democrat Party and is now he said it was a Clinton spokesman or an Obama spokesman early on.
I mean, he's now up there doing NFL PR.
Anyway.
Joe Lockhart, that's who it is.
The guy that worked in tandem with Dan Rather on the fake George Bush National Guard story.
The first moment that Trump does anything that is the unraveling of an Obama agenda item.
Obama's gonna be on TV.
Pat Cadell's gonna be really, if he's mad now, he doesn't know anything yet.
Because Obama's gonna call who I got.
Chuck Todd take his pick.
John King, uh Wolf Blitzer.
Take your pick.
He's gonna hold any of them.
Hey, you know what?
I won't go on TV.
I'm gonna go to the exclusive.
Uh Trump, Trump's about to destroy Obama Kerr.
And they will not be able to wait.
They'll give Obama as much time as he wants to rip into Trump and to warn the American people.
Obama's gonna be doing national speeches, the equivalent of them, to the American people warning them of all the dangerous things Trump is doing by unraveling.
He's gonna try to create all kinds of unrest and disunity and so forth in unprecedented.
No former president has ever done what Obama is likely going to do.
Bill Clinton did it, and Al Gore did it to George W. Bush, but they waited two or three years after the Iraq war started, and they would go to Europe and make speeches ripping into Bush.
But Obama's gonna do it from Washington, and he's gonna do it within hours of whatever Trump does.
And he's gonna do it on major cable news, and the media is gonna be 100,000 percent behind Obama.
And it's going to be divisive, and it you just wait.
And this is what Cadell talking about now.
There's no grace.
There's no, and there isn't any.
It's just simple manners and culture, and there isn't any.
Something else, by the way, Cadell is out there.
He says he's he's amazed at the media that nobody's been fired.
Because of how wrong they got everything.
Oh, oh, folks, this is delicious.
I saw a segment.
I was I was playing with my my new Direct TV now, on Apple TV, which is the streaming cable package.
But now you don't need a cable, no, you get direct TV now, so you can get it on your phone or your iPad or whatever.
And it must have been Fox.
I don't know.
But there was there were a bunch of people on a panel, and they were talking about how right the pollsters were on the popular vote.
Polsters called it, Hillary plus five, three-point margin of error.
The pollsters were dead on right.
Well, everybody knows the pollsters missed this.
But the spin is they were right on the money.
Therefore, the pollsters are now being cemented as factual when they lied, as did the rest of the media.
Cadella's wondering when does somebody pay the price for being so dead wrong and lying in people's face about it?
He can't believe it.
I'm not surprised.
here.
Here's Rachel in Baltimore.
Rachel, glad you called.
Nice to have you with us at the IBE Network.
Oh, gosh, Rush, what an absolute thrill.
Um I am a reformed liberal, and when I say liberal, I mean really like I protested outside of a courthouse to get the Ten Commandments taken down.
I think I mouthed off to Newt Gingrich in person once, but um but I've been saved.
I guess I would make you my savior.
Um but I'll get to my point.
Um I'm the mother of five kids, and they all read your books and we listen to you regularly, and I've been tempted to send you uh a video of my two-year-old boogieing down to uh your intro music.
But um I just I wanted to talk to you about what I have found to be such a destructive and pervasive message that I think I I mean I I think has been going on for a long time, and especially I think to kids that are just inundated with,
and that's the idea that as long as someone is happy, everything is okay, you know, and it doesn't matter if you um abandon your values, it doesn't matter what you if you uh you know lie, cheat, as long as you're happy, and you know, it's in kids' books, it's in movies, it's just it's everywhere, and it's really hard to shield your kids from it.
And I you see it, I mean you can see it like evidenced so clearly in when I see like these weak millennials or you know, the snowflake college students as you guys keep calling them, they can they can barely function because it's because they're not happy with you know with the results of the election, and they're not happy with the way someone spoke.
Um, you know, they're they've been told their whole lives that their ultimate purpose is just to be happy.
And you referenced, I think it was last week you were talking about why liberalism is so easy and that we can't let our guard down.
And I think it's because liberalism feels good.
It makes you happy.
It feels like exactly, but it's look, I have to take a break here.
I thought I had one minute more than I did, although that wouldn't have mattered because you're on a roll.
If you can hang under the break, I'd appreciate it.
Good, good, good.
Don't go away.
Back now to Rachel in um in Baltimore.
That's a it's a really good point that you have.
That kids today think there's a guarantee of happiness, but when they don't get it is where the problem that that it's somehow a major, major violation of their rights.
Right.
Exactly, exactly.
And it's I mean, I'm telling you, every I I I have five little kids, so I see it.
Every Disney movie, every book, everything, it is just they are just inundated with it.
Um and so Well, they're not learning how to deal with adversity.
They are they're shrinking from it.
And that if they're happy, that's all that matters.
So and as parents, like we really uh my husband and I have really, really tried to instill in our kids that happiness is not the end game.
It's not there's no guarantee that that's you know, that that's what that that's gonna be their result.
Um so now it gets to the point of my whole reason for calling you was um that my kids read Rush.
They love your books.
Um I haven't my oldest is eleven, and um they were learning about the founding of the country, and she actually recommended to her teacher that she read the books when she found the lesson to be lacking.
Ha!
I love it.
Yeah, yeah.
I love it.
I was very careful with her.
I told her that she had to be respectful about how she said it to her because I didn't want her to, you know, to to have any um to be brazen, but she did want to tell her teacher that.
Um and that one of the things that I think is so important in your books is that, and I'm able to point it out to them, is that the founders of our country or the pilgrims or you know, whoever it is, uh you know, the main characters, they didn't do what was easy, what made them happy.
They did what was right, and they did what they they did what was right, and you know, and and there was no and happiness was never a guarantee.
You know, we talked about at length with my kids that the pilgrims could have stayed, you know, in their home country and and and just gotten by and gone along with out being able to follow their belief system.
But they felt like it wasn't right, and it wasn't that they were happy to get on a boat and leave their home.
Well, you know the difference here is that in the declaration uh inalienable rights of life liberty pursuit.
Pursuit, exactly happiness, not guarantee, but pursuit of happiness.
You're talking about the the founders.
Exactly.
The founders were essentially for helping us further that message and that um that we feel is just so imperative to our to our kids and and and to the youth of uh uh of this country.
Well, I look I thank you that I really do.
I that you have given my books a fabulous endorsement, and I cannot thank you enough.
You have the latest one, Rush Revere and the Presidency.
No, we're actually we're on the waiting list at the library.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
What I'm gonna send you.
I'm gonna send you, in fact, I'm gonna send you a whole how many kids do you have?
I have five.
Five kids.
Well, I'll send you a whole set.
We're going to put together...
Thank you.
And I want you to know that every year for the holidays or for birthdays, we give a gift to their class.
And so each of my kids'classes is getting a...
Well, not my littlest, but my older ones, their kids are getting a set.
So that they have it in their classroom to read.
Oh, you've already got them.
You know, that is uh so each year at their birthday, they haven't all had their birthday yet.
We usually, in addition to whatever they get, you know, for themselves, we give a gift to their to the classroom.
And so one of the gifts that um that we're gonna give this year to the for the older kids' classrooms is uh is a set.
I feel like it's they always have, you know, time to kill in the classroom or it's w indoor recess or whatever, and they can pick up a book.
I want that to be available to them.
Okay, now don't say anything because if you interrupt me, you're not able to hear what I'm saying, and I need to finish this.
It's our phone system, it's not you.
I'm gonna send you a full set of five.
I'm gonna send you a little we have a whole package for for kids your age that comes from l revere and liberty, the little Liberty doll.
It's not a little, it's actually a very, very nice uh stuffed doll liberty horse and so forth.
We'll send that all out to you.
And I know Mr. Snerdley's already got your address and so forth.
He'd got that during the break.
But what kind of phone did you choose?
I have to know.
Um I'm gonna blow your mind here, Rush, but I'm not gonna take a phone.
You're not gonna take a phone.
You don't even want to give anybody a phone.
No, no, I we don't do smart devices in our house.
We really try to keep our eye on the on the ball, which are the kids right now.
So one day when I'm not as busy, maybe I will, but I'm our focus is on them.
That's perfectly fine.
It's it's it's your choice.
Someone else can get mine who calls in.
You have really learned from being an ex-liberal.
You don't want people use any smart devices to spy on you or your kids.
I thought really that's not really how I would go with it, but we we I definitely have have been a uh and a born-again uh conservative.
Well, it's great to have you in the movement.
It really is.
I thank you so much for the call.
That's Rachel in uh in Baltimore.
That's the first person of five weeks has turned down a phone because they don't want one of those devices in the house.
Mr. Snerdley asked me if I thought, because of what's going on in Germany, the Europeans would start to get it.
And I told him no.
There's no way.
They're gonna blame other people.
I have the proof that I'm right.
It's an audio soundbite.
We have here a montage from last night and this morning, a professor from UCLA, somebody from uh Huffing and Puffing Post Germany, CBS, uh about four or five people here worrying that the right wing in Germany might defeat Merkel following this, which would be a horrible thing.
For Chancellor Merkel, this is an absolute nightmare.
This feeds completely into the discourse of the alternative for Germany far-right party.
The right wing is already trying to use it as a tech or their politics.
It's gonna put enormous pressure on the Merkel government.
Unfortunately, being exploited by extremists on the far right.
Trump is going to be supporting the populace in Germany, and that Putin is assertively preparing to manipulate the outcomes in Germany and France, just like he did in the United States.
Well, you hear this, folks?
So the militant Islamists are basically just running roughshod over Germany now, and the what's really bad about it is that it's going to open up an electoral opportunity for the alt right.
There is no alt right.
It's totally made up by the left.
There isn't one.
It's the latest label they have used to try to smear all of conservatism.
But does it sound like they're learning the lesson to you, Mr. Snerdley?
No, no, no.
The the worst thing about this is not that militant Islamists are killing German Christians.
No, no.
It's the this is gonna make it really, really hard for Merkel to win.
This is opening up electoral opportunities for the right wing.
And of course, who's behind it?
The Russians.
Yes.
The Russians.
You realize all the Russians are doing?
The Russians are running American elections or running American politics.
The Russians are running immigration into Germany.
The Russians are responsible for what's happening to the European Union.
The Russians are what's happening for what's responsible for Syria.
And pretty soon we're going to learn that the Russians are the reason why the Chicoms are doing what they're doing.
Once when the left gloms onto something, they don't let go of it.
And right now, Vladimir Putin is unstoppable.
He's behind everything.
And he's enabling the far right wing to pose grave dangers.
The Prime Minister Angela Mercury.
Such a dangerous world out there.
Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Ill Rushbow having more fun than a human being.
Should be allowed to have.
Here's Mike in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you with us, sir.
How are you doing?
Hey, I'm doing great, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
I actually took it a little easy on Mr. Snarkley.
I uh live in a little town called Lidditz, uh north of Lancaster, about a half an hour from Hershey.
All right, cool.
But uh hey, Merry Christmas.
Um I appreciate you taking my call.
I I have a both a question and an observation for you.
Um I'll lead into my um question by saying that I believe all of us on the right received an early Christmas present back in August or September, and it was given to us, Rush, by none other than Hillary Clinton herself when she selected Tim Kane as her running mate and not Bernie Sanders.
Um I I think her ego may have gotten in the way, uh her pride, and uh she just couldn't bring herself to select Sanders, and I think if she could, she would uh dare I say Indian give the the gift and take it back.
But um I wondered your opinion on that.
Do you think she could have won the maybe?
It's one of those things you look back with everything we know now, and we see how popular Bernie was.
Uh and it it it might have mattered.
It it might have made that Democrat ticket a little bit more unified and mollified the anger that the Bernie Sanders people felt when they learned that his whole campaign was a was a a joke because he's been cheated, and they had uh engaged in fraud.
But then again, uh they might not have been happy with him as number two on the ticket.
I don't think they were ever going to get rid of their anger at Hillary, no matter what she did.
But I don't think it matters, because you know what?
I'm gonna shock the world.
I think Donald Trump won the presidency the day he descended the escalator at Trump Tower.
Very good.
I do.
I do.
I think I think I think and I really had this reinforced for me, because the politico's running uh uh a piece.
Is it the political?
Let me look real quick.
Hammer's the political somebody's running a a yeah, the politico has gone back and looked at all the statements made by elite experts over how Trump had no prayer.
And one guy said Trump lost this the first sentence he uttered.
And I think it's the exact opposite.
I think I think I I think Trump hit him in the face the first day and they never recovered.
Now I'm near out of time.
You get your choice of an iPhone 7 or 7 plus.
Which one do you want?
Oh, I wanted to give you my observation first, but I can't do that, I guess.
Um I'll take the plus.
What's your carrier?
Uh ATT.
It's my wife's carrier.
It's gonna be a Christmas gift for her.
Thank you so much.
Oh, what color does she want?
Um the gloss black, if if available.
Got it.
Got it.
Now, would you like the phone that Rachel from Baltimore didn't take?
Would you like two?
Wow, that is awesome, Raj.
Okay, tell Mr. Snerdley what it is, because I'm out of time.
I gotta go.
We'll be back here in just second bonus gift for the caller.
Well, another fun jam-packed day here at the EIB network, and only one lost FedEx.
So we're uh and it wasn't one of your phones, it was one of mine, folks.
So it's no big deal.
We'll be back here tomorrow, revved up and ready to do it all over again.
