Great to have you on the program, Brad.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Thanks for having me on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I heard something on the radio last week on what I listen to, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10537\">KFI<\/a>, and apparently people who have suddenly lost their insurance are going on to the dot-gov website to see about other plans that were available. They put their information in to get to the level where they could do a review, and decided not to buy anything, then that information was apparently released to independent sales reps &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; call people &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85466\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTruthDetector4Lies.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  As a doctor, we\u2019re required by the HIPAA law to keep all this information very protected.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Ah, HIPAA law, shmippa law.  I learned that the HIPAA law doesn\u2019t mean beans.  If law enforcement wants your health records, they\u2019re gonna get \u2019em.  If this Regime wants your health records, they\u2019re gonna get \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Exactly.  Well, it\u2019s $250,000 penalty per event because it was related to insurance. So the people whose insurance information or protected information was released, should look into how they should pursue that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, you know, this was one of the first things people learned about &#8212; when HealthCare.gov went live. By the way, have you heard of the latest in this?  The Regime is saying, &#8220;We never said seven million sign-ups was our target.  We never said that!&#8221;  You know, life is easy if you can lie.  If you can lie about everything, and nobody ever calls you on it and you get away with it, life is easy &#8212; and this is what they do. <\/p>\n<p>Obama lied for three years.  &#8220;You get to keep your doctor if you like him! You get to keep your insurance if you like it!&#8221;  No, you didn\u2019t.  Obama said, &#8220;No, I didn\u2019t say that.  I said, &#8216;If nothing changes in your policy you get to keep it.'&#8221; He did not say that.  He promised, &#8220;If you like your plan, you get to keep it. Period.&#8221;  The White House health care website still makes that promise.  There are senators, I think Mary Landrieu.  Maybe not her. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10669\">There are certain Democrat senators, and their websites still maintain, &#8220;If you like your plan you can keep it.&#8221;<\/a>  Now, last year, before HealthCare.gov opened for business, the Regime said they needed seven million before the end of the year, before this day. They needed seven million, and over the weekend they were doing hoops and making dances and having parties because they claimed that the corner had been turned and 2.1 million people had signed up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=11017\"><img id=\"eZObject_85468\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareQuoteDoctor2Lies2.jpg\"\/><\/a>So somebody said, &#8220;Well, wait, you said you needed seven million.&#8221; And they\u2019re saying, &#8220;No, we didn\u2019t.&#8221; But they did.  It\u2019s on tape, it\u2019s in print, but they\u2019re just denying it.  &#8220;We didn\u2019t say seven million! Nobody ever said seven million.&#8221; And, in a political sense, the Republicans don\u2019t know what to do with this.  Do you know how to deal with a liar?  It is a challenging thing to deal with a liar. But these people, this is a political party that just lies as a matter of course. <\/p>\n<p>The problem with it is that the impressionable low-information people who vote for them believe all these lies, and then they create lives, circumstances, based on a series of lies.  And then standards begin to crumble, and then promises mean nothing, and then honor and integrity come to mean nothing, and then standards don\u2019t exist.  And then there\u2019s nothing accountable and nothing anybody can depend on.  So there aren\u2019t any guardrails &#8212; and that\u2019s where we are, in many ways, in our culture. <\/p>\n<p>Let me give you an example.  Let me use a football example.  Let me find the story.  I don\u2019t know how many of you &#8212; and I gotta be very, very careful about this.  &#8216;Cause this is one of these things where if I am not careful (by &#8220;careful,&#8221; I mean really being detailed because this is the kind of thing), a lot of people would love to take me out of context.  It involves Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and the passing yardage record.  &#8220;Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will remain as the league\u00c2\u2019s single-season record holder for passing yards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85467\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLPayton.jpg\"\/><BR\/>In the last game of the season, Peyton Manning only played one half.  He was taken out after setting the record.  The pass that broke the record was a seven-yard pass to the Broncos receiver Eric Decker, and that seven-yard completion gave Peyton Manning the single season record for passing yardage in the NFL, breaking the record held by Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.  Now, because the in-house, press box, stadium statisticians gave manning the record, the Broncos sat him down in the second half, and he didn\u2019t play anymore. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Had he played the second half, he would have racked up even more passing yardage, by default. He\u2019s gonna complete passes in the second half if he plays, but he didn\u2019t.  Well, it turns out that some people thought that that seven yard pass that gave him the record wasn\u2019t a forward pass, that it was a lateral. So they looked at it on videotape. They looked at it on a series of still shots taken from the videotape.<\/p>\n<p>If you looked at it you would conclude (like a number of other people in the media concluded) that it was not a forward pass, that it in fact was a pass backwards by one yard.  I have looked at it over and over, looked at it on the way back home yesterday, last night, and it looked to&#8230; I mean, countless times.  This is not a criticism of Peyton Manning.  It\u2019s really not a criticism of anybody specific here.  I have a much larger point that I\u2019m trying to get to here, but I gotta set up the details and circumstance. <\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t see the game. I didn\u2019t watch the game.  I only became aware of this when others in the sports media began to question whether or not it was a forward pass.  Well, the official statistician of the NFL is the Elias Sports Bureau&#8230;  The Elias Sports Bureau is the final word on statistics in the NFL, and the Elias Sports Bureau was given this play to look at, and they decided not to change it.  The play will remain as a completion, and Peyton Manning will hold the record after further review. <\/p>\n<p>But, it was a backward pass.  Again, forget that Peyton Manning\u2019s even involved here.  This is not with Peyton Manning.  I have no opinion. If he sets the record or not, it\u2019s not of any consequence to me. I\u2019m not a Peyton Manning fan and I don\u2019t dislike him or any of that.  To me, this is about standards and controversy and the avoidance, and it may be, in the big scheme of things, a minor point. But I think there\u2019s a whole lot of little things like this going on that portend big problems in our culture.<\/p>\n<p>Because what it adds up to is what\u2019s right isn\u2019t right, what\u2019s wrong isn\u2019t wrong.  It\u2019s what somebody wants something to be that is.  Now, it could well be that the Elias people are figuring, &#8220;You know what? We don\u2019t want to be involved in this.  They said at the stadium it\u2019s a forward pass, and we\u2019re not gonna be the ones to take the record away from Peyton Manning.  It ain\u2019t gonna fall down on us.&#8221; So maybe they said, &#8220;Okay, it ain\u2019t gonna be us.&#8221;  So they leave it alone. <\/p>\n<p>Or it could be that somebody at the Elias Sports Bureau said, &#8220;Well, you know, okay, the in-house statisticians blew it, but it happened real fast. They didn\u2019t have the benefit of replay to look at it. You can fix this any time, but Peyton would have played in the second half if this had been ruled a lateral and he hadn\u2019t set the record on this play. They would have played him the second half and he would have broken the record.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we\u2019re gonna go ahead and count this. Even though he didn\u2019t break it, he would have broken it.&#8221;  But he didn\u2019t.  Now, there are mitigating circumstances.  Actually he did, because they said he did.  Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers were denied a playoff spot because the referees in the San Diego-Kansas City game blew a huge infraction on the Chargers.  Now, let\u2019s take these two things.  The Chargers had an illegal formation when the Chiefs kicked a field goal that woulda won the game against the Chargers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10782\"><img id=\"eZObject_85469\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLYellowFlag.jpg\"\/><\/a>It\u2019s the last game of the season, four seconds left, and the kicker for the Chiefs missed it wide right by inches.  There should have been a flag thrown because the Chargers had more than six men lined up to the right of the center.  You can only have six men lined up on either side of the center in a kicking formation, field goal or extra point.  The Chargers had seven.  This rule was put in place for safety, so there wouldn\u2019t be as many concussions, wouldn\u2019t be as much brutality, wouldn\u2019t be as much unfairness.<\/p>\n<p>Putting seven guys up against five, it\u2019s unfair, it\u2019s brutish. We\u2019re not gonna do this. So they put the rule in, and the Chargers broke the rule.  The refs didn\u2019t call it, and the kicker missed the kick.  Had the refs called the penalty that had been a five-yard penalty and the 41-yard field goal would be attempted again from 36 yards where the field goal kicker would have had a better chance of making the field goal. <\/p>\n<p>Now, why, in this case, didn\u2019t they go ahead and say, &#8220;Well, you know what? The kicker woulda made the kick&#8221;?  If they\u2019re saying, &#8220;Well, Peyton would have broken the record in the second half, because he would have played if they hadn\u2019t counted the seven yard pass as a forward pass, and therefore seven yards and he breaks the record, he would have played,&#8221; well, I mean, the kicker woulda made the kick. (interruption) I\u2019m not&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>No. (interruption)I couldn\u2019t care less about this.  The Steelers didn\u2019t deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.  It\u2019s not the point, Mr. Snerdley.  Snerdley\u2019s saying I\u2019m doing Steeler homerism.  I\u2019m not.  Folks, I\u2019m worried about this. We\u2019re becoming mooshy, squishy as a culture. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/news\/articles\/SB10001424052702303997604579240022857012920\">Camille Paglia has written <\/a>about this extensively.  There\u2019s a great piece on what she thinks about this. It\u2019s the Wall Street Journal. I\u2019ve got here in the Stack. <\/p>\n<p>Her piece is about manliness and how we\u2019re diminishing it in our culture for all the wrong reasons and we\u2019re gonna have many problems as a result of getting rid of manliness and so forth. It\u2019s all being done in the interest of parents and not offending people, and War on Women and all this specious stuff.  To me, there are absolutes, but since absolutes offend people, we\u2019re gonna water down the absolutes.  We\u2019re just gonna take the easy road. Doesn\u2019t offend anybody.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t upset anybody, doesn\u2019t cause any controversy, and we\u2019ll just do that.  And, I\u2019m telling you, in the process of doing this, it\u2019s a slow, cumulative effect. It\u2019s been going on awhile.  This is not the beginning of this.  Such things as, &#8220;Well, we\u2019re gonna penalize that kid\u2019s team 55 points at the start \u2019cause they\u2019re just so much better, and the other team doesn\u2019t even have a prayer.  So that team\u2019s gonna start minus 35.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Or, &#8220;We\u2019re just not gonna keep score because we don\u2019t want to humiliate the losers.&#8221;  Or, &#8220;We\u2019re not gonna give A\u2019s anymore since not everybody can get A\u2019s. We\u2019re just gonna give everybody the same grade so that there isn\u2019t any humiliation,&#8221; or whatever it is that we\u2019re doing.  But, in the process here, what is absolute is being diluted.  What is right and what is wrong is being diluted, watered down, blurred. <\/p>\n<p>In the end, you end up lying to yourself.  You end up believing you\u2019ve done something when you haven\u2019t done it &#8212; or, conversely, you didn\u2019t do something that you think you did.  All of this troubles me, what\u2019s happening with the left just lying about everything &#8212; and the thing is that their acolytes, their low-information voters, they believe this stuff.  It is a an ongoing problem, and it\u2019s creating not just ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s creating a bunch of people who are dead wrong about things they fervently believe they\u2019re right about.  Anyway, this is one of the things I told you before I left. I\u2019ve been developing trying to come up with cogent ways to explain what it is about this kind of thing that\u2019s troubling me, and I\u2019m gonna have to keep working on it.  I think it\u2019s a big deal.  It has horrible consequences for our culture down the road that we\u2019re already seeing the ramifications of now.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  The thing that troubles me here, folks, is that we are dumbing down every standard, every rule &#8212; and the problem with this is: How can there ever be excellence or real merit, when the standards are constantly being eroded?  Maybe it\u2019s nothing new.  Maybe it\u2019s something going on ever since the beginning of time.  I\u2019m sure it is.  I just don\u2019t believe it\u2019s been happening on this scale.<\/p>\n<p>If kids can\u2019t read when they graduate, graduate \u2019em anyway.  If they can\u2019t pass their final to graduate, lower the standards.  If somebody can\u2019t pass a test to become a fireman, lower the standard.  Too dumb to get into college? Lower the standard and raise the price.  People too fat to be accepted in the military? Change the standard.  We\u2019re dumbing everything down, and it\u2019s not gonna end well.<\/p>\n<p>Because how can there really be excellence or even any real merit when there\u2019s an asterisk by every achievement, which is where we\u2019re headed.  Then you couple that with the assault on achievement that is taking place in much of our culture and society, and it\u2019s problematic.  But the worst part is you end up lying to yourself, and you end up teaching the lesson that getting close is the same thing to accomplishing something, when it isn\u2019t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Brad in San Diego next.
