This is Ed. Thank you, sir. I\u2019m glad you waited. What\u2019s happening? What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s an honor and a privilege &#8212; and better yet, a luxury &#8212; to speak with you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-232705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/00-EIB-Callers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/00-EIB-Callers.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/00-EIB-Callers-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: No problem. And I would like to offer&#8230; Based on the World War II issues you\u2019ve been speaking about, I\u2019d like to offer on behalf of my Grandpa Fred, the admiral who is no longer with us: U.S. World War II Navy veteran dittos.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good for you. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. I just hope this darn Android phone doesn\u2019t get hacked by Putin before I get a chance to give the information I called about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) I think you\u2019ll be safe.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Android phone be hacked&#8230; (chuckles) What kind of phone is it?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. I just wanted to inform you and the rest of the nation &#8212; hopeful Congress, too &#8212; on a fact that I\u2019ve recently become aware of that ties health care and the death tax together. Especially in California &#8212; and maybe the whole the country; I\u2019m not sure yet &#8212; if you use public medical assistance&#8230; Like in California, it would be Medi-Cal. Here in Governor Moonbeam\u2019s fiefdom, the state will come after your inheritance. The only way, as far as I know, to protect yourself is with an irrevocable trust. I\u2019d like to get that information out to anyone who is now either taking Medi-Cal or any other medical assistance, because they will come after you and take your inheritance &#8212; a chunk of it, anyway &#8212; before you even get to touch it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: In what circumstances will they do this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Any circumstances where you are taking government medical assistance. I know in California, Medi-Cal is definitely, based on &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So it\u2019s a recoupment.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They\u2019ve paid your health care through Medi-Cal, through Medicaid, through Medicare, through Obamacare. They\u2019ve given you 15,000 different health care programs; you\u2019re still broke. And then when you die, they come take a portion of your estate to pay back what they spent on you in Medi-Cal, right?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, and possibly even before that. If somehow you have a turnaround in life, and your health gets better based on the care you got &#8212; which, with public health care it\u2019s doubtful. I\u2019m talking from personal experience because I\u2019m getting over encephalitis, which is a very serious brain disease. So right now, hopefully, I\u2019m getting my point across well because I\u2019m still not fully recovered yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-232725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/600-x-360-031017-Welcome-California-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/600-x-360-031017-Welcome-California-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/600-x-360-031017-Welcome-California.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>RUSH: Well, we get it. I understand what you\u2019re saying. And, by the way, I have experience with this. I lived in Sacramento for 3-1\/2 years, and I\u2019m always&#8230; You know, we have Medicare, we have Medicaid, we have Obamacare, and now out there they\u2019ve got Medi-Cal. There\u2019s so many damn health care programs, and yet people are constantly whining about health care, the lack of it, insurance or what have you. But he\u2019s right, folks. The state of California will try to recoup as much of what they have ostensibly paid for you from your estate.<\/p>\n<p>His point is if you put your estate in an irrevocable trust, right now they can\u2019t get it. But since he said that, some intelligent state legislator\/assemblyman is gonna figure this out (chuckling) and they\u2019ll find a way to open your irrevocable trust. Look, if you think this is bad, try this. This is from the Sacramento Bee. &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/16158\/sacramento-gives-free-cars-public-housing-john-nolte#exit-modal\">Sacramento Gives Free Cars to Public Housing Residents<\/a>.&#8221; Free cars! &#8220;The city of Sacramento, California&#8230;&#8221; Not the government, not the state government of California.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The City of Sacramento has decided to purchase a fleet of electric cars that will be made available free of charge to 300 residents already using public housing. The $1.3 million used to pay for what is being called a mini-fleet came from the state of California Environmental Protection Agency,&#8221; which in turn got the money by essentially blackmailing local businesses with cap-and-trade fines. &#8220;Gasoline, maintenance, and insurance will also be paid for by the state,&#8221; which can only&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The $1.3 million is just the opener; $1.3 million is not gonna cover this. (chuckling) When any liberal program is initiated, it\u2019s never a solution to anything. It\u2019s just the beginning of something new. Now, I know what you\u2019re saying. &#8220;Well, what&#8230;? How can this be fair? What do you mean? How about people have to pay for their own cars or pay for their own transportation? What about people that don\u2019t qualify here for a free car?&#8221; Well, the City of Sacramento &#8212; and, I guess, California &#8212; are now trying to make citizens believe that a car is a right.<\/p>\n<p>And if you aren\u2019t fortunate enough to be able to afford one, the government should give you one &#8212; or your fellow taxpayers should give you one. A car is not an item or a luxury that you work for. If you want one, there\u2019s no need to do anything but demand it. My adopted hometown. What is this? The state of California\u2019s just stated that they\u2019re gonna get rid of the no-communists-allowed rule. Now you can have communists in the state government.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna go out and recruit them. (interruption) Oh, I would think&#8230; (interruption) No&#8230; (interruption) You&#8230; (interruption) Mr. Snerdley\u2019s asking me if illegals get the first dibs on the cars. Have to be in public housing. (chuckles) Well, wait a minute! You may have a point. Can you imagine the illegals&#8230;? (laughing) What if a sizable percentage of the people getting free cars happen to be illegals in public housing? City of Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ve had a lot of news about California today, and here\u2019s yet another one. This is Bill Whalen, Real Clear Politics: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/articles\/2017\/05\/09\/californias_geriatric_liberal_leadership_133826.html\">California\u2019s Geriatric Liberal Leadership<\/a> &#8212; Next year marks a century since Lulu Hunt Peters, a Californian by way of Maine, gifted the world with &#8216;Diet and Health: With Key to the Calories.\u2019 Ever since, the Golden State had stood at the vanguard of defying Father Time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-232749\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DemsJurassic-Dem-Logo-11-09-C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DemsJurassic-Dem-Logo-11-09-C.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DemsJurassic-Dem-Logo-11-09-C-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>&#8220;Look no further than Orange County and the city of Irvine, home to Botox giant Allergan, or Big Sur\u2019s Esalen Institute, which is dedicated to &#8216;integrat[ing] body mind, heart, spirit and community in a nurturing relationship with the environment.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>A funny thing about the Golden State: the pursuit of youth doesn\u2019t apply to its political hierarchy. Jerry Brown, the nation\u2019s oldest governor (he turned 79 last month)&#8230; Dianne Feinstein, the nation\u2019s oldest U.S. senator (she turns 84 in June) &#8230; House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, age 77&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the state leadership of California is old and aging Jurassic Park liberal, and yet California\u2019s thought of as the state of youth and energy and hipness and cool. You know what this means? What this means is that Baby Boomers are just not gonna go fade away into the sunset and retire and let their kids and grandkids take over. The Baby Boomers are gonna selfishly hang on and take whatever they can for as long as they can. Dianne Feinstein, 84; Pelosi, 77. The age of the California assembly and some of the other California leaders is way, way, way above the average.<\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, I think that has a lot to do with these aging leftists and the fact they have not changed or moderated over time whatsoever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is from the Sacramento Bee. &quot;Sacramento Gives Free Cars to Public Housing Residents.&quot;
