\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Marie in Dayton, Ohio. Marie, it\u2019s great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush, how are yeeeew? <\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m fine. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Remember you used to say that? (chuckles) Super dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you still there? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. It\u2019s such a rush to be on Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m… I\u2019m… I\u2019m tongue tied.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. I\u2019ve been where you are.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to remind the voters that Hillary Clinton got the Margaret Sanger Award recently. But what I really called about was that don\u2019t you believe that the administration is trying to provoke us into something, like Venezuela and the Ukraine, and what\u2019s going on there right now? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now. Wait a minute. I want to make sure I understand what you\u2019re asking. Are you actually suggesting here that the Regime might be doing things so outrageous it\u2019ll force some Tea Party people into the streets in revolt? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I actually think so. They\u2019ve been doing the incremental-ism, boiling the water for a while now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so, how would that benefit the Regime if people pour into the streets in the form of protest of the Regime? <\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019ve already got the laws on the books and previous administrations. They can lock the hammer down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019ve also got all the bullets, by the way. They\u2019ve bought up all the hollow points. I don\u2019t know if you know this or not, but they have. They\u2019ve bought up all the ammo.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, and the body bags and everything. You know, if they can\u2019t provoke us then at least they\u2019ve gotten that much farther into their liberal —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know something, folks? This is a risky area to discuss. But it is an interesting thing. I\u2019m not going to address whether the Regime is trying to provoke anybody into any kind of public protest, and then from there forecast what the Regime would do about it. But it is, nevertheless, interesting to observe that it isn\u2019t happening. People\u2019s health care is being destroyed right in front of their eyes.<\/p>\n

The Regime can go out and they can brag all they want and lie about how many people are signing up, and they can tell people that they\u2019re going to save $2,500 a year, and they can tell people they can keep their doctor and all that. But the thing about health care is, it\u2019s all lies. People are losing their health care. They are being cancelled. People are not able to keep their doctor or their plan and their premiums are not $2,500 cheaper.<\/p>\n

One of the things that is the most important thing to a lot of people\u2019s lives is their health care, and their health insurance is in a total state of disarray, and people don\u2019t know whether they have any. They don\u2019t know if their doctor is going to treat them. There are all kinds of things — and if you are in Washington and you are a member of a Regime and you look out over the countryside, you don\u2019t see any manifestation of this opposition unless you look at a poll. <\/line><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t see any anger. <\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t anybody marching in the street. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nobody marching on Washington like there was during the Iraq war — and, by the way, about that. Do you realize now that the body count in Afghanistan is way beyond the body count in Iraq, and where is the anti-war movement? Where are the Cindy Sheehans? Where are all those people that were calling Bush a murderer? Where are all of those people demanding we get out of Iraq? Where are all of those people? <\/p>\n

Occupy Wall Street? Where are they? They were so concerned about the loss of life in the military, so concerned about an endless war. Where are they? They\u2019re nowhere, are they? The anti-war movement doesn\u2019t really exist. What are we to conclude from that? It\u2019s very simple: There is no anti-war movement. If there were an anti-war movement, it would be alive and kicking and protesting and marching on Washington and demanding that Obama close Gitmo like he promised.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d be demanding to get out of Afghanistan, and they would be making sure that the news kept track of the body count from Afghanistan every week like we did in Iraq. None of that is happening, but that\u2019s all that happens. I mean, that was daily, and during the Bush administration, while all that was going on there were books being written, and movies being produced on the assassination of George W. Bush, if you recall. <\/line><\/p>\n

The anti-war movement had newsworthy figures that were on television all the time. Cindy Sheehan. People out in San Francisco. But now they\u2019re nowhere to be found. So maybe they\u2019re not really part of an anti-war movement. Maybe all they are is leftist activists who will take any occasion during a Republican presidency to protest it and feed the news media with reasons to portray a country that\u2019s dispirited, enraged, angry, not unified, a country torn apart, a country roiling. <\/p>\n

Now, look. We have big scandal after big scandal. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got Benghazi and four Americans dead. <\/p>\n

Zip. <\/p>\n

We have a body count dwarfing Iraq in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n

Zip. <\/p>\n

We have one-sixth of the US economy that has literally been destroyed in the process of moving it from the private sector to government, and we\u2019ve got…<\/p>\n

Zip. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got Barack Obama today saying “the era of austerity is over.” I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve heard this, but he said, “Okay, we\u2019re through now with our budget cutbacks.” We\u2019ve gone from a $10 trillion national debt to nearly $17 trillion in Obama\u2019s five years and he\u2019s saying (summarized), “This is the era of austerity, and it\u2019s over now. We\u2019ve cut back now. We\u2019ve got to really start spending.” <\/p>\n

Zip. <\/p>\n

We have both parties willing to open the borders and allow a flood of illegal immigrants and there\u2019s…<\/p>\n

Zip. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing happening. <\/p>\n

We have people losing their jobs left and right and the government is saying, “That\u2019s good! You are liberated. You\u2019re no longer a prisoner of ‘job block.'” <\/p>\n

The First Lady on Jimmy Fallon last night said that the people that voted for her husband are “knuckleheads” for not buying something they can\u2019t afford: Health care. Here, grab sound bite number nine. She called young people that voted for her husband knuckleheads!<\/p>\n
