RUSH: This is Richard in Lido Beach, New York. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing, Rush? I\u2019ve been listening to you for over 30 years. I can\u2019t believe I got through today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad you did.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I read both your books. My son was a guest on your TV show, as president of the Republican club of St. John University —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — Yeah. And all my kids are strict conservatives. Pro-life, and we vote Trump.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re doing great out there.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: The reason I\u2019m calling today, Rush, is this Cuomo and the other 12 states that are giving illegal aliens driver\u2019s licenses is leading up to possibly a voting problem in the country. Is there anything that the attorney general could do to stop this?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know what\u2019s happening in New York state, in upstate New York, the clerks at the DMV are refusing Cuomo\u2019s order to grant driver\u2019s licenses to illegals. They\u2019re saying it\u2019s against the law. We\u2019re not doing this. Now, in Manhattan, I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll just sign anybody who walks in wants a driver\u2019s license, (impression) \u201cWhere are you from? Guatemala. Great! And while you\u2019re at it, here\u2019s your voter registration card, already got Democrat marked. Just put your X on there and you\u2019re good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in upstate New York a bunch of DMV type clerks are refusing to do it. But because it\u2019s the law. It\u2019s just that simple, it\u2019s against the law, and they say Cuomo\u2019s executive order, gubernatorial order here doesn\u2019t overcome it, they\u2019re refusing to do it, because they get what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

Look. Fox News all last night and today has been playing a clip of me from yesterday\u2019s program in which I made an observation about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comparing our illegal alien detention centers to concentration camps<\/a>. And what I essentially said was, the woman\u2019s either stupid or just likes irritating us because she loves attention and can\u2019t go a day without any. It\u2019s one of those two things. And so somebody at Fox wrote a short little opinion piece about that lances for their Fox Now website, and they\u2019ve been running that clip all day as a conversation starter for various panels that they\u2019ve had discussing it. I have been reading around… You know what?<\/p>\n

I found two tech blogs defending Cortez. (impression) “She didn\u2019t see Nazi concentration camps. She said concentration camp, and if you look up concentration camp, we are running concentration camps.” She\u2019s got her defenders, and they are as loco as she is. I think, Richard… I don\u2019t know what the answer to this is. I really think that this push for driver\u2019s licenses for illegals, the push for abortion after a baby has survived an abortion, after a baby has been born alive, I think that the left is motivated, not fully, but in part simply by the sheer joy they get irritating us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not saying that if we weren\u2019t around, if we weren\u2019t around to irritate, if we weren\u2019t around reacting, that they would stop this stuff. But I do think that, from their position of superiority and condescending arrogance, I think they just love irritating us. So saying that they\u2019re gonna legalize driver\u2019s licenses for illegals, I think Andrew Cuomo sits in his office saying, (impression) “Conservatives are gonna blow up for this.” That\u2019s part of the fun of doing it, in addition to \u2013 it\u2019s not in replace of — furthering the voter registration efforts, getting these people registered as Democrats.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the overall big concern, bring in people who will become part of the permanent underclass. The Democrat party needs a permanent underclass that is in constant need of the things you need every day to live. And they want to be the entity. The Democrats in government want to be the entity providing all that. That\u2019s how they want to buy loyalty and their power. And so that\u2019s the overriding reason they do it.<\/p>\n

But Cortez is coming along and concentration camps… I guarantee you that she and her buddies love, just love irritating conservatives, and hey, I love tweaking the media. I\u2019ve become an expert at it. You people… I even let you in on the fact when I\u2019m gonna do it. It is fun to do. It\u2019s fun to play them. And I think part of this is playing them, although it\u2019s not a substitute for their actual political objective; don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned a moment ago that they\u2019re playing this clip of me talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ridiculous claim that Trump illegal immigration detention centers are concentration camps. So they\u2019re playing the bite, and then they assemble panel discussions. So here we have two bites. This is… Take your pick. The one we have here is Harris Faulkner this afternoon on her program, Outnumbered Overtime, and she\u2019s got the editorial director of the Daily Caller in there, Vince Coglianese, to comment about her take and my take so here\u2019s the first bite…<\/p>\n

\"\"FAULKNER: Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is arguing that Ocasio-Cortez may be addicted to attention or worse.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: I think this woman gets off tweaking people on our side. I don\u2019t think she means this for a minute. I think she\u2019s just having fun watching people blow up. If she does believe it, then she\u2019s so stupid that there\u2019s nothing to do about it. But I think there is a part of her that just can\u2019t go a day without getting noticed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. It\u2019s really cut-and-dried — I mean, harmless — little analysis. Here\u2019s Harris Faulkner — who, by the way, does not like me. So keep that in mind as you listen to this. But here\u2019s her take, and then she throws it to The Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese. Here we go…<\/p>\n

FAULKNER: It\u2019s great to see. Boy, that\u2019s quite a binary decision, uhhh, between either you misinformed or thirsty [sic] or stupid.<\/p>\n

COGLIANESE: Yeah. No, I mean, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clearly craves attention and the Democrat Party doesn\u2019t actually know how to handle it. She\u2019s a bit of a mascot for their party so they don\u2019t really want to attack her. She\u2019s well liked on the left and she\u2019s definitely loathed on the right as, kind of, the worst-case scenario of a young liberal. And every time she opens her mouth you obviously have people on the right who attack her, and that\u2019s why the left, oftentimes, closes ranks around her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why, is that not the same thing? That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m saying. She craves the attention that it gets her! She loves tweaking us. And if she really thinks that, if she really thinks we\u2019re running concentration camps, that\u2019s just stupid. There\u2019s no other way to describe it. I didn\u2019t say “thirsty.” I said stupid! She may be thirsty, I have no idea, but I didn\u2019t say that. She\u2019s either tweaking us or… But you hear him say here, “Yeah, she craves attention. The Democrat Party doesn\u2019t know how to handle it. “She\u2019s a bit of a mascot…”?<\/p>\n

You can call a woman a mascot now?<\/p>\n

I guess so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
