RUSH: I know. I know he\u2019s there. I saw it. I saw the spectacle. I watched a little bit of it, Felipe Calderon\u2019s speech to a joint session of Congress beating up on the Arizona law, criticizing the Arizona law and blaming us for all the guns in Mexico. And the Democrats were standing up and applauding, giving him a standing ovation for this. This is unprecedented. We have never before had an ally come to the United States, make a speech before a joint session of Congress, rip our country, rip our states, and have the Democrat Party stand up and applaud. This follows on the heels of this Michael Posner guy after human rights meetings with the ChiComs, or during them, saying, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! You know, we have to agree with you, we\u2019ve got our own human rights problems here. Look at our Arizona law. It\u2019s very, very troublesome.\u2019 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the first time that\u2019s ever happened. I mean, the ChiComs, the communists always rip us. This is the first time in my life our leaders have agreed with them. Greetings, my friends, and welcome, it\u2019s Rush Limbaugh, this, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Now, I just gave Mike the sound bite roster order I wanted. I\u2019m going to change it now. I\u2019m going to stick to the original order eventually. But grab sound bite number 21 and number 22. This is from this morning on Capitol Hill: The president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, addressing a joint session of Congress.<\/p>\n

CALDERON: You will notice that the violence in Mexico started to grow a couple of hours before I took office in 2006. This coincides, at least, with the lifting of the assault weapons ban in 2004. I will ask Congress to help us, with respect, and to understand how important it is for us that you enforce current laws to stem the supply of these weapons to criminals and consider restating the assault weapons ban.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And the Democrats stood up.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS: (applauding)<\/p>\n

RUSH: There they are, standing up and applauding. Now, here he is blaming Bush. He\u2019s blaming all this stuff on his predator just as Obama does, and says he wants us to enforce current law. But, no, he doesn\u2019t want us to enforce current law. He doesn\u2019t want us to enforce the current federal immigration law. He doesn\u2019t want us to enforce Arizona\u2019s immigration law. But he wants us to enforce an assault weapons ban. So he comes here… Here\u2019s the bite with Felipe Calderon blasting the United States and lecturing Arizona to thunderous applause from Democrats, a standing O.<\/p>\n

CALDERON: I strongly disagree with your recently adopted law in Arizona. <\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS: (applauding)<\/p>\n

CALDERON: It is a law — <\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS: (applauding)<\/p>\n

CALDERON: It is a law that not only ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree, but also introduced a terrible idea: Using rashal — racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement. And that\u2019s why I agree… I agree with president to say the new law carries a great amount of risk when core values that we don\u2019t care about are breached.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uhhhh… Folks, I\u2019m speechless. I\u2019m angry and speechless. And this comment received a standing ovation. So we have the leader of Mexico coming here and parroting, copying the president of the United States and ripping our country to a standing ovation of the Democrat Party. What does he care about racial profiling? There is no racial profiling in the bill. This is just so purposely taken out of context. ‘I agree with the president who says the new law carries a great amount of risk.\u2019 Whose ‘core values\u2019? He comes here and disses our immigration law, blames the United States for all the guns in Mexico. Meanwhile, do you know this? His best friend is missing. <\/p>\n

Calderon\u2019s best friend, folks, is missing; thought to have been kidnapped and killed by Mexican drug gangs. And he comes here and disses us. I guess Obama apologized throughout their private meetings in the White House. So are we to assume here from Calderon\u2019s remarks that these criminals are coming to the United States to buy assault weapons as they are ‘just searching for a better life\u2019? I mean, even some people on our side of the aisle have sympathy with the illegals. ‘Rush? Rush, come on! They just want a better life.\u2019 I guess now it\u2019s a human right to cross the US border. So these guys come in and Calderon says they\u2019re getting guns here. They\u2019re coming to America and picking up assault rifles in their quest for a better life. The drug gangs down in Mexico are beheading people left and right, and it\u2019s interesting to point out they have legalized drugs in Mexico. They have legalized everything — the hard stuff, the soft stuff.<\/p>\n

You know, there are efforts always going on in this country to legalize drugs. The theory is, ‘Look there\u2019s a lot of tax revenue there that we could be picking up. Addicts are addicts, and if we control it we take the crime out of it.\u2019 Well, I guess that\u2019s what Calderon thought. But they\u2019ve got drug crime at an all-time high after legalizing the stuff. It\u2019s a strange curiosity. They have legalized the possession. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ve legalized the sale, but they\u2019ve legalized the possession. So the demand side is being rewarded. The supply-side, maybe if you\u2019re selling you still got some problems, but what they\u2019re saying is, ‘Well, if you get caught having it, you\u2019re fine. Whatever you want.\u2019 So the effort is on to acquire the stuff. Now, let me grab sound bites four and five in my original order. Let me see. I\u2019m looking for Calderon on Wolf Blitzer last night. It\u2019s seven and eight. Seven and eight. Calderon was on with Wolf ‘Blitzed\u2019 last night on CNN Situation Room. Wolf Blitzer says, ‘What\u2019s wrong with the folks in Arizona wanting to protect their border?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALDERON: In Arizona, there is some racial profiling criteria in order to enforce the law that it\u2019s against any sense of human rights; and, of course, is provoking very disappointing, uh, things — or very disappointing opinion — in Mexico and around the world, even here in America. So to introduce this kind of elements, especially racial profiling aspect that are attempting against what we consider human rights, it\u2019s the principle of discrimination which is against the values of this great nation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Who is he to preach to us? For crying out loud, they deport more illegal immigrants from Mexico than we do! How do they catch their illegal immigrants? Do they profile them? How the hell do they find out who\u2019s in their country illegally? Here\u2019s the next question from Blitzer: ‘So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, can they just walk in?\u2019 <\/p>\n

CALDERON: No! They need to fulfill, uh, a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedence.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?<\/p>\n

CALDERON: Of course! Of course!<\/p>\n

BLITZER: If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico, they can going get a job? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: No, no, no.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: They can work? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: If somebody do that without permissions, we send — we send back them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We didn\u2019t record that ourselves. We didn\u2019t make it up. So I want to play these two bites again back-to-back, sound bites seven and eight. We\u2019ll set up the first question from Blitzer: ‘What\u2019s wrong with the folks in Arizona wanting to protect their border?\u2019 <\/p>\n

CALDERON: In Arizona, there is some racial profiling criteria in order to enforce the law that it\u2019s against any sense of human rights; and, of course, is provoking very disappointing, uh, things — or very disappointing opinion — in Mexico and around the world, even here in America. So to introduce this kind of elements, especially racial profiling aspect that are attempting against what we consider human rights, it\u2019s the principle of discrimination which is against the values of this great nation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (doing impression) ‘[W]e consider human rights the principle of discrimination which is against the values of this great nation.\u2019 So Blitzer says: So somebody outside your country wants to come into Mexico, can they just walk into your country? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: No! They need to fulfill, uh, a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedence.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?<\/p>\n

CALDERON: Of course! Of course!<\/p>\n

BLITZER: If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico, they can going get a job? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: No, no, no.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: They can work? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: If somebody do that without permissions, we send — we send back them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is this guy an idiot? Is this guy not just a full-fledged idiot? He just undercut his entire argument! He just undercut Obama\u2019s entire argument. (interruption) You don\u2019t think he did? (interruption) Well, screw the liberals, Snerdley! Not everybody in this country is a liberal. There are a lot of Americans here who are gonna look at this and say, ‘This guy is just an idiot.\u2019 Answering those questions like that from Blitzer, he has no right from now on to say anything to us about our immigration law. People can\u2019t even get a job in Mexico unless they have (doing impression) ‘per-meee-sion…and if they do that, do that, we send \u2019em back.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Now how do they find out who they are in the first place? You think they have to profile \u2019em? ‘We analyze them.\u2019 They\u2019re very, very strict. You can\u2019t own property, you can\u2019t get involved in politics if you are an immigrant, legally in Mexico. It\u2019s very restrictive. And he comes here and lectures us with the approval of the president of the United States and the Democrats in the House of Representatives, who gave it a standing O. He comes here to lecture us about the way we are trying to enforce our own immigration law. What is this ‘racial profiling\u2019 anyway? Mexico\u2019s not a race! What\u2019s the race in Mexico? It\u2019s not Mexican. It\u2019s Hispanic or whatever, but we\u2019re not profiling Mexicans because there\u2019s not a race there. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, more I think about this, folks, the more I\u2019m convinced that Obama briefed this guy. There may have been a price for that state dinner last night. It may have been Calderon coming here and basically mouthing Obama\u2019s own words about the Arizona law. This guy is a blooming idiot. He comes here, he spouts Obama\u2019s own words, he get a standing ovation from the Democrats in the House of Representatives, and then in the next sound bite Wolf Blitzer — I don\u2019t know what got into him, but he starts asking some sensible questions. This idiot, Calderon, gives us the lay of the land when it comes to immigration in Mexico. Here are the two bites again. You know what the questions are. I\u2019m just going to play \u2019em back-to-back so you have that stark contrast one more time. <\/p>\n

CALDERON: In Arizona, there is some racial profiling criteria in order to enforce the law that it\u2019s against any sense of human rights; and, of course, is provoking very disappointing, uh, things — or very disappointing opinion — in Mexico and around the world, even here in America. So to introduce this kind of elements, especially racial profiling aspect that are attempting against what we consider human rights, it\u2019s the principle of discrimination which is against the values of this great nation.<\/p>\n

CALDERON: No! They need to fulfill, uh, a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedence.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?<\/p>\n

CALDERON: Of course! Of course!<\/p>\n

BLITZER: If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico, they can going get a job? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: No, no, no.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: They can work? <\/p>\n

CALDERON: If somebody do that without permissions, we send — we send back them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The first sound bite I\u2019m convinced… When\u2019s the last time you ever heard Felipe Calderon talk about ‘human rights\u2019 and ‘discrimination\u2019 and all of this sort of stuff? This is right out of Obama\u2019s mouth. This guy had to have been briefed. This is like a setup, like that second grader at the school yesterday with the setup question. Now this. We got a foreign leader coming here and what\u2019s on his teleprompter\u2019s been written by whoever writes Obama\u2019s words. But then when he\u2019s off the prompter and gets the question about Mexico\u2019s own law, we get the truth. I\u2019m still stunned here. Wolf Blitzer: ‘Do they have to present papers?\u2019 ‘Of course! Of course they have to present papers!\u2019 Here is the main Mexico immigration law: ‘Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society: * Foreigners are admitted into Mexico ‘according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.\u2019 (Article 32) <\/p>\n

‘* Immigration officials must ‘ensure\u2019 that ‘immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance\u2019 and for their dependents. (Article 34) * Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets ‘the equilibrium of the national demographics,\u2019 when foreigners are deemed detrimental to ‘economic or national interests,\u2019 when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when ‘they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.\u2019 (Article 37)\u2019 All of those are reasons you can be barred from going into Mexico. So they can test your brain, give you an IQ test. This is far beyond profiling. You want to talk about (doing Calderon impression) ‘human riiiiights\u2019 and ‘de-scriminaaaaation\u2019? <\/p>\n

‘* The Secretary of Governance may ‘suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.\u2019 (Article 38) Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:* Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)* A National Population Registry keeps track of ‘every single individual who comprises the population of the country,\u2019 and verifies each individual\u2019s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)\u2019 I could keep going. ‘* A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91). Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:* Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)* <\/p>\n

‘Foreigners who sign government documents ‘with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses\u2019 are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116) Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and\/or imprisoned as felons:* … (Article 118)* Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working without a permit — can also be imprisoned.\u2019 And this guy, this guy comes here and lectures us, lectures the state of Arizona, parrots the exact talking points of the Democrat Party and the president of the United States. Maybe what ought to happen is the next time Obama uses his prompter, somebody ought to put the Arizona law on it so that he can both read it and read it aloud to his audience at the same time. I know it will never happen, folks. It\u2019s one of these things that you sit there and fantasize about. Well, I\u2019m struck at this. I\u2019m almost speechless over this. Those two sound bites back-to-back, coupled with his bashing of Arizona and our country this morning at the joint session of Congress — at the request of, with the approval of the president of the United States. We\u2019re seeing some things we have never seen before in our country.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, I\u2019m sorry for not being able to get off of this. This is over the top. In one week we have had this administration side with the ChiComs against their own country and bring in the president of Mexico as a prop to mouth Obama\u2019s words to a joint session of Congress beating up on the state of Arizona and the people who are there and the people who live there. What\u2019s happening here is a doubling down of playing the race card. The president of the United States is continuing to divide this country while pretending to be this great unifier. And he\u2019s using this dummkopf president of Mexico as a prop, like a puppet to help him do so, and I\u2019m going to tell you something. We\u2019re going to talk about this again as the program unfolds today, because I can\u2019t allow this spin to hold, either. <\/p>\n

If they\u2019re going to say that yesterday\u2019s elections was a big win for Obama — and do you realize they\u2019re saying that? Si, Senor! They are saying yesterday\u2019s a big win for Obama, and Pelosi\u2019s out there today saying, ‘Look, we\u2019re going to easily hold the House. There are 200 of my people who are easily going to get reelected.\u2019 Now, if Obama was the big winner in those elections yesterday as reported, he wouldn\u2019t be playing the race card this ferociously. This ought to be Hispanic vote, folks, and if he was the big winner yesterday, there is no way he\u2019d be doubling down on the race card. There were even times during Calderon\u2019s speech where the Republicans stood up, when he talked ‘cracking down on crime\u2019 and improving the economy of Mexico and so forth. The Republicans were standing up. So we\u2019ve got people in fear. We got elected officials who are behaving in fear on the Republican side. <\/p>\n

On the Democrat side, they\u2019re behaving in eager anticipation — and Obama, the president of the United States, is throwing down the race card now and using Felipe Calderon as a prop to do so. So don\u2019t tell me Obama\u2019s a big winner in the elections on Tuesday. Don\u2019t tell me. If they\u2019re willing to throw the race card now, in middle May, you just wait \u2019til we get into September and October. You just wait to see what these clowns in the White House do. It\u2019s gotta get worse. It will get worse. You know why? The Democrats need it because they didn\u2019t win yesterday. Everybody continues to focus on Pennsylvania-12 to show Obama\u2019s big victory. I know what they\u2019re trying to do. They\u2019re trying to say, ‘Hey, the Republicans, why, in this climate if they couldn\u2019t take that Murtha seat, why, all this talk about them winning the House, it ain\u2019t going to happen.\u2019 <\/p>\n

And as I mentioned yesterday, we got a lot of people on our side who are also bashing the Republicans saying, ‘Yeah, we\u2019ve been wrong. If we can\u2019t win Pennsylvania-12, then I don\u2019t think we can win anything.\u2019 It\u2019s a 2-1 district, 40 to 50,000 union people in there, and you had the Democrat candidate sounding like me. I mean, conservatism won the election. Well, his conservatism, this Critz guy, his conservatism is faux conservatism. He was lying through his teeth about it. But we\u2019ll get to all of that later in the program. Here\u2019s a story from a couple days ago out of Mexico City. ‘Most of a small Mexican town\u2019s police force has quit after armed men ambushed and wounded two of their officers. The resignation of six of the 11 municipal officers in La Union Monday evening comes after several other Mexican towns have seen mass police resignations because of cartel violence or threats. <\/p>\n

‘State police in Guerrero, which La Union is located, said Tuesday that it has deployed 20 of its officers to patrol La Union until further notice. The resignations came two days after their colleagues were ambushed and left La Union\u2019s police force with five members: the chief, the deputy chief, an officer in charge of weapons logistics and the two wounded officers who are hospitalized. Meanwhile, people in some Mexican towns have begun taking the law into their own hands.\u2019 They\u2019re acting like the people in Arizona, in Mexico. So from what we heard today from Felipe Calderon ( a prop of this regime): Arms going into Mexico are fault of the United States. (doing Calderon impression) ‘Assault weapon ban was lifted in 2006. We need the assault weapons ban reenacted, reimplemented.\u2019 So our assault weapons ban being lifted means arms finding their way into Mexico, our fault. Drugs and illegal immigrants coming here? Also our fault! That\u2019s what Calderon says, and, right on cue, this regime agrees. <\/p>\n

In one week, folks, Michael Posner at the State Department tells the ChiComs (paraphrased), ‘Yeah, we really have no business lecturing you because you\u2019re right: We have some terrible problems in our own country right there in Arizona. That immigration law is very, very bad for human rights.\u2019 So for the first time in my life, agents of a communist government (China) come to our country and criticize us, and our administration agrees. And for the first time in my life a foreign president (ostensibly an ally) comes here to rip the sovereign state of Arizona, the sovereign United States and its laws — using language exactly like the president of the United States — and the Democrat members of Congress give him a standing ovation. ‘Meanwhile,\u2019 Mexicans are ‘taking the law into their own hands.\u2019 Cops are being killed by the drug cartels just like in Arizona. In the meantime, Felipe Calderon admits (doing impression), ‘Oh, yes, of course we check people\u2019s papers. We find out if they are worth being here. If they get a job and they have lied, they get sent home.\u2019 All the while he\u2019s telling us that we\u2019re discriminating and violating our core values. <\/p>\n

RUSH: New Port Richey, Florida, as we let you in on this discussion. This is Jim. Hello, sir. Glad to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much, Rush. Whatever happened to the concept of reciprocity in international political relations, here?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you mean, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: For example, countries likes Mexico and other countries have very strict regulations on going into a country, having a return ticket, enough money to support yourself, proof that you have a job if you want a work visa, et cetera, et cetera. And the Mexican president just reiterated his country\u2019s policies on immigration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Mexican president is Se&ntilde;or Wences! Remember Se&ntilde;or Wences? He was a ventriloquist dummy from the Ed Sullivan show way back then. He\u2019s just Se&ntilde;or Wences. <\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Now, you want to know what happened to reciprocity? It\u2019s called liberalism. You want to know what happened to prosperity? It\u2019s called liberalism. You want to know what happened to economic opportunity and freedom? It\u2019s called liberalism. There\u2019s a giant disconnect: Liberalism from Americanism. It\u2019s plain as day for everybody to see. Next up is Patricia in Longview, Texas. It\u2019s great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (garbled cell) Hi, Mr. Limbaugh. I can\u2019t tell you how much I love you. I\u2019m originally from Honduras. And having said that, I truly do not understand why it is so hard for the Americans to defend the country\u2019s sovereignty. Why?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Liberalism. The disconnect —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Don\u2019t they have the courage to?<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Democrat — <\/p>\n

CALLER: It takes courage.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Patricia?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Listen to me. Disconnect: Liberalism from Americanism. The Democrat Party, the American left, the president of the United States will destroy this country in order to maintain their power over it. Why do they not enforce the border? Votes! Why do they have Calderon come here acting as Se&ntilde;or Wences, a ventriloquist dummy? <\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggles) Votes! This is all about rallying the Hispanic vote in November because Obama got shellacked yesterday and Obama thinks he\u2019s going to get shellacked in November. It\u2019s all about votes. That\u2019s why we\u2019re not going to enforce the border and that\u2019s why we\u2019re going to rip anybody who tries. Yesterday the state of Arizona said to the city of Los Angeles and the mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, ‘If you guys are going to boycott us, fine. We\u2019re going to cut off your electricity that we provide you.\u2019 The city of Los Angeles gets 25% of its electricity from Arizona. Antonio Villaraigosa said (paraphrased), ‘Go ahead. We don\u2019t care. You won\u2019t do it. You go right ahead. We\u2019re gonna play your game.\u2019 This is the kind of stuff that starts civil wars, folks. This is not coincidental, it is not accidental, and the answer today to virtually every question you\u2019ve got is liberalism. (interruption) Did I mean to say what? <\/p>\n

Yeah, civil war. I said it yesterday. You probably didn\u2019t hear it, Snerdley, because you were busy screening calls. This is exactly the kind of stuff that starts civil wars. You\u2019ve got how many states now lined up against Arizona? Economic boycotts may be unconstitutional in violation of the commerce clause. You got the Democrat Party supporting it. You have the mayor of Phoenix saying the reason that this whole thing exists is \u2019cause the Fairness Doctrine is not in order, that if there was a Fairness Doctrine, then a bunch of liberals in Arizona on the radio would have a chance to be heard (ahem) and public opinion would be much different.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the phones to Chattanooga, Tennessee, this is Star. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. This is a great pleasure for me to get to talk to you. I wish I weren\u2019t so angry at the moment. (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m angry, too, but we\u2019ll be angry together.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Sounds good. I just wanted to let you know I grew up in Mexico. My dad is a pastor and I probably crossed the border, you know, over 30 times in my 18 years that I was down there, and I will tell you there were many times when we were pulled over for no reason, and my dad always have to have papers on hand to show the police. As a child, we just got used to it, but it was uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, I want to understand something. You were crossing from Mexico to the United States and you were asked for papers?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we\u2019ve got to. I mean any time we had to come back in. This was when we would go into Mexico because we lived down there. We would come back out every six months we would have to come out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. I\u2019m confused. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You said you grew up in Mexico, so I thought —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you\u2019re talking about when you leave the United States and go to Mexico, the Mexicans asked for your papers 30 times? Is that what you were saying?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right, absolutely. Every time we would cross over. To be clear, my parents are Americans. I mean, I\u2019m American citizen and they\u2019re Americans. We were missionaries down there. So my dad would have to go to the border, we would leave the states into Mexico, we would have to fill out paperwork. They would search our car, and everything that you\u2019ve said that you\u2019ve read that would happen definitely happens when you go into their country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They want to know what you\u2019re going to do there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know Se&ntilde;or Wences today confirmed it or last night with Wolf Blitzer on CNN. No question about it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Robert in Austin, Texas. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks, Rush. I want to make a quick point about Calderon and his comments about the assault weapons ban the United States somehow and not having the ban contributing to the cartel violence.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think this is a fallacious argument because the ban in the United States specifically outlawed semiautomatic weapons. The weapons that are being used by the drug cartels are fully automatic, military-grade weapons. They include fully automatic grenade launchers, grenades, anti-tank missiles. None of that stuff is sold in the United States. It\u2019s illegal to possess that kind of stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you have just illustrated the real point here. The real point is not our gun laws. This is simply Se&ntilde;or Wences beating up on America. This is simply an agent of Obama. Remember, they\u2019re all Obama, everybody in this administration and now Felipe Calderon. It\u2019s just Obama. Obama doesn\u2019t like guns; Obama doesn\u2019t like the Second Amendment. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So here we\u2019ve got a situation in Mexico, he brings in the Mexican president, gives him a state dinner. I don\u2019t know if there was a price for this, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. So here you have the Mexican president saying everything Obama thinks and says.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. And you\u2019ll notice that Hillary and Obama try to parrot this notion that we are equally responsible for the cartel violence because we are demanding the drugs —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and they throw in the notion that we have to outlaw these violent weapons that are being exported to Mexico that are causing all the violence.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They try to tie those two things together, just like they try to tie together the idea that yes, we have an immigration problem, but the real solution is comprehensive immigration reform.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Amnesty.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but the root level of all this… These are the results. These are details. At the root level of all this is what? A dislike for this country. And any opportunity to blame this country for any problem, this administration will take it. I mentioned to you that back in April, I went to Washington for the annual Horatio Alger presentation awards. And I\u2019m listening to the recipients of these awards. To be nominated and to be admitted into the Horatio Alger Association, you have to have started from nothing and have become something. You can\u2019t get in if you were born to a wealthy family or if you inherited a lot of money. You have to start from veritably nothing. And to listen to these people talk about America and the opportunities and the hard work. One guy had lost his entire fortune, a billion dollars, at age 55 and put it back together. <\/p>\n

He started with nothing, made a billion, lost it, got it back, worked hard to get everything. To hear these people… We\u2019re not that far from the White House. To listen to these people speak of this country, it struck me: We don\u2019t have anybody in the regime, we don\u2019t have anybody in the White House speaking of this country in terms of its greatness, of its potential, of its goodness, of its decency. We don\u2019t have anybody speaking in appreciation for people that have come before us, be they military, political, medical, what have you. None of the great achievements of the past are acknowledged. Instead, the country is apologized for — and for specious things: Things that we have long ago fixed, attempted to fix, corrected, righted, what have you. Now we\u2019re importing allies, supposed allies, leaders, to parrot the same things said by Obama and people in his administration. When\u2019s the last time you heard anybody in this administration speak glowingly, respectfully, positively of this country? It doesn\u2019t happen. That\u2019s what struck me about this Horatio Alger dinner. It\u2019s so rare anymore to hear it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a friend that sent me a note that said, ‘Rush, it\u2019s really no surprise to see Obama stand with Se&ntilde;or Wences against Arizona and the vast majority of people in the United States. Is there any issue today — terrorism, health care, cap and trade, taxes, spending — where Obama stands with the majority of the American public? No.\u2019 A point that I have made over and over again. When have we ever had a president like this? We\u2019ve never had a president governing against the will of the people. We\u2019ve never had a president like this siding against the American people. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Thomas in Kokomo, Indiana, as we go back to the phones. It\u2019s nice to have you on the program today. Sir hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir, Mr. Limbaugh. Honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to make a comment about the illegal immigration debate that I don\u2019t hear a lot of people talking about, and that is basically American pride and exceptionalism. I think the proponents of the amnesty plan went about it the wrong way as far as when I speak to people who came through legally, they\u2019re proud to share their papers. They\u2019re proud to be an American. They\u2019re proud to be a citizen of this country. Are these illegal immigrants willing to, you know, pledge allegiance to this country? Are they proud of America or just want to make money and go back to Mexico? Because when I see the demonstrations, if they had an American flag instead of a Mexican flag and they were saying, ‘We want to be Americans because it\u2019s an honor to be American,\u2019 I think people would feel a different way but it seems they just want to use our country, trash it, and, you know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s clearly one of the problems, that they are not here to assimilate. They\u2019re not. They want to maintain their own culture first, which is unlike the people who really want to come to this country to be Americans. As though that\u2019s now a bad thing, to come here and want to be American. It\u2019s better to come and be who you are rather than become an American. But you\u2019re point is very shrewd, and it illustrates that the very people sponsoring amnesty are not even concerned about these people liking the country. They\u2019re not even concerned about them understanding the country. They aren\u2019t even concerned about them becoming real citizens. All they want is their votes.<\/p>\n

In fact the more economically challenged they remain, the poorer they remain, and as uneducated as they can be, the more dependent they will be. Folks, as I said earlier: All these press people — I\u2019ve got story after story. I decided I\u2019m not going to waste any more time on it because I can\u2019t say more than I said yesterday, but all this spin that this was a giant Obama victory yesterday, or Tuesday in the elections. If Obama won big, he wouldn\u2019t be throwing the race card down like happened today with Se&ntilde;or Wences bashing Arizona, and yesterday and last night as well. If Obama had won big he wouldn\u2019t be throwing the race card. He\u2019s clearly in need of these Hispanic votes. He\u2019s going to need \u2019em in 2012 because he\u2019s lost half the country. If he hasn\u2019t quite lost half the country, he\u2019s on the way to losing half the country. He knows it. Harry Reid is gonna need Hispanic votes if he has a prayer of saving his seat in Nevada in November. We know there\u2019s not going to be an amnesty bill before the election. But there\u2019s going to be a lot of talk about it, and they\u2019re hoping that the talk will encourage Hispanics to go ahead and vote. ‘The Democrats really care. They want us to have amnesty. They\u2019re going to get it done. They can\u2019t get it done now.\u2019 They\u2019re hoping that will inspire support and votes, which is all this is about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
