DE BLASIO: I go back to my neighborhood all the time. It\u2019s the way to me that I stay connected to people, that I\u2019m able to have a routine that allows me to be — 24\/7 — the best mayor I can be.<\/p>\nRUSH: Now, grab audio sound bite number seven. I made a statement yesterday on this program and that idiot mayor in New York, Bill de Blasio, came along and made me look like a genius, which isn\u2019t hard to do. But here first is what I said…<\/p>\n
RUSH ARCHIVE: They\u2019re gonna have their mansions. They\u2019re gonna have their private planes and their yachts, and they\u2019re gonna be burning all kinds of fossil fuel for their own lives, and they\u2019re not gonna be playing games with their thermostats. They\u2019re gonna set their thermostats wherever they want \u2019em, and they\u2019re not gonna be driving around in little electric golf carts. They\u2019re not gonna be giving up their guns, and they\u2019re not gonna be giving up their private security team! And they will tell their beguiled followers, \u201cWe must have these things for the security of the movement, because, after all, we are the intellectual leadership, and we must survive, and we must be able to continue to proselytize the cause,\u201d and they will not be accused of hypocrisy by their own followers.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So last night, this idiot de Blasio, for some reason, showed up with Chatsworth Osborne Jr. on Fox. Our old buddy, Tucker Carlson. Tucker said, “So how can you take an SUV to the gym and back every day? How can you be riding around in that gas guzzler and say that you\u2019re really worried about climate change?”<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: (crosstalk) It\u2019s a Chrysler Pacifica!<\/p>\n
CARLSON: It\u2019s bugged me for years.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: It\u2019s a Pacifica.<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Yeah?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: It\u2019s a hybrid electric. It\u2019s not an SUV first of all. But it\u2019s… Look, I come from —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: No, it\u2019s got a gas engine in it.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: I come from a neighborhood… I come from a neighborhood…<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Yeah?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: I go back to my neighborhood all the time. It\u2019s the way to me that I stay connected to people, that I\u2019m able to have a routine that allows me to be — 24\/7 — the best mayor I can be.<\/p>\n
CARLSON: But should the climate have to pay the cost for that?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: Oh, come on! It\u2019s a few miles, and it\u2019s… and it\u2019s —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: “Oh, come on”?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: If I took a subway anywhere —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: “Oh, come on!” I\u2019m gonna use that the next time I get lectured about climate change.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: If I took a subway, the cars follow me for security reasons. Any way you slice it —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Yeah?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: — I\u2019m doing what\u2019s going to help me be the best that I can be for the people of this city.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So he makes my point. “Yeah, I need to stay in touch with my constituents, so I\u2019ve got to take my SUV there. I\u2019ve got to go to the gym. I\u2019ve got to stay in shape for my constituents. I\u2019ve got to get there. My security team, I gotta have them around for security reasons. It\u2019s just a few miles.” So you see, for him there ain\u2019t no limitation, baby! There ain\u2019t no restriction. There ain\u2019t no electric car. There\u2019s nothing. He\u2019s going to have his thermostat, all because he needs to be mayor. He needs to visit constituents.<\/p>\n
He needs to stay in shape to be a good mayor. He needs to drive around to be a good mayor. He needs a security team to be a good mayor. So Tucker Carlson says, “You would have law-abiding people like me who have hunting rifles that fall under assault weapon category, and the cops would show up and say, ‘Give us your gun,\u2019 and they would say, ‘No,\u2019 and you would have — unfortunately, tragically, you would have — cases of violence. Are you okay with that?”<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: I\u2019m being honest with you. We cannot have assault weapons in our society. We\u2019ve seen the devastating impact. They need to be banned. Those just don\u2019t belong in the hands of everyday people.<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Would you subject your bodyguards to the same limitations as other American citizens?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: Tucker, I respect you, but that\u2019s a question that makes no sense whatsoever.<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Of course it does.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: If you have sworn law enforcement officers —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Of course it does. I\u2019ve got a family just as you do. I have a lot of threats against me —<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: Sworn law enforcement officers —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: — just as you do. Hold on. Slow down.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: — who are here to protect all of us.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051619-deBlasio.jpg\")
CARLSON: You get free bodyguards.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: No, no, no, no.<\/p>\n
CARLSON: I don\u2019t. No, no, no.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: No, no, no.<\/p>\n
CARLSON: No, no, no.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: I\u2019m only going to —<\/p>\n
CARLSON: You have bodyguards living at your house, and they\u2019ve got magazines that I can\u2019t protect my family with.<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: (sputtering)<\/p>\n
CARLSON: Does that bother you as a champion of the little guy?<\/p>\n
DE BLASIO: This society that we are living in — and I hate to say it — but public servants are vulnerable to violence in a different way. Our law enforcement officers are there to protect all of us!<\/p>\n
RUSH: So you see, he needs his guns, but you don\u2019t need yours! You\u2019re too dangerous and risky to have guns. You don\u2019t need \u2019em. But with licensed law enforcement, which he\u2019s also disrespecting every chance he gets. (impression) “Well, I need my protection! I am an elected official. (sputtering) As mayor, I need to stay alive. Uh, you don\u2019t need to be alive as much as I do and — and therefore… And my constituents will understand this.”<\/p>\n
These people are pure hypocrites. He doesn\u2019t, I don\u2019t think, know what he\u2019s saying. He\u2019s a programmed automaton here. “We can\u2019t have assault weapons in our society! We\u2019ve seen the devastating impact. They need to be banned! They just don\u2019t belong in the hands of everyday people.” He hears two words, “assault weapons,” and comes back with that. It\u2019s a programmed response. It\u2019s not even the result of any applied thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
