\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The righteous indignation, the “I can\u2019t believe he said it.” We\u2019ve gotta stop talking about each other this way. We cannot continue to challenge and question each others\u2019 patriotism this way. We must never, ever speak this way. If you ever say “I know I probably shouldn\u2019t say this, it\u2019s probably a horrible thing to say, then stop, don\u2019t say it.” That\u2019s just a summary of the reaction to Rudy Giuliani today, who said, “I know it\u2019s a horrible thing to say, but I don\u2019t believe the president loves America.” <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got a bunch of people reacting to that as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears, and I just wanted to acknowledge, I\u2019m not gonna go to that first, but I wanted to acknowledge I know about it and we\u2019re gonna get to it, but it\u2019s not the lead thing. I want to go to some other things out there first that will then put Giuliani\u2019s comments <\/a>maybe in a little bit better perspective. <\/p>\n

Folks, it\u2019s great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, once again three hours of broadcast excellence straight ahead. The telephone number is 800-282-2882 and e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Well, the president wrapped up a three-day seminar on “don\u2019t call \u2019em terrorists, and don\u2019t call it Islam, and let\u2019s get \u2019em jobs” summit that took place actually over — where is it, the statement, defense department, somewhere? It wasn\u2019t at the White House. Was called the White House summit. And we got audio sound bites of the president\u2019s remarks and of course some in-depth exclusive only-can-you-get-it-here analysis of what the president said. <\/line><\/p>\n

But there are other things that are percolating and effervescing out there as well, and I\u2019m not gonna give them short shrift. Let me just run through some of the things. It\u2019s gonna take all three hours to get through this today, so I want to run through some of the things coming up on the program today, \u2019cause it\u2019s just impossible to get to all of it in the first segment, and if I don\u2019t get to something in the first segment, invariably I check the e-mail, “Aren\u2019t you gonna talk about X?” <\/p>\n

Yeah, I\u2019m gonna talk about it, but I can\u2019t get to everything in the first segment. Well, look, I understand. Everybody wants to know what I think about their pet issue. I understand that and I\u2019m sensitive to it, and I am very responsive to that. It\u2019s just I can\u2019t get to every subject, certainly not in the detail that I am known for and that I want to get into things with, in the first segment. But just to give you an example of some things out there. <\/p>\n

We have a New York Times<\/a> story, they can\u2019t believe it, they\u2019re apoplectic. “A Bid for Guns on Campuses to Deter Rape – As gun rights advocates push to legalize firearms on college campuses, an argument is taking shape.” And it is delectable. It\u2019s delicious. You see, once again we\u2019re down to what could be termed dynamic versus static scoring, the way the left looks at things. <\/p>\n

Okay, so they\u2019ve got this War on Women meme that\u2019s an umbrella under which much of their political agenda is advanced every day, and one of the subsets under the umbrella is that our colleges have become cultures of rape, that rape\u2019s everywhere out there. Even that Rolling Stone<\/a> story, it might not have been right about the University of Virginia, but it didn\u2019t matter because it\u2019s still true in so many parts of the country. <\/line><\/p>\n

Okay, if there\u2019s a culture of rape out there and if men are raping women left and right and it\u2019s unprecedented levels, we\u2019ve gotta do something about it. And so a gun rights group said, “Okay, let\u2019s arm women.” <\/p>\n

And the left said, “What are you talking about? You can\u2019t do that.” <\/p>\n

Well, you just said that they\u2019re at great risk of being raped left and right. In fact, the sponsor of the bill in Nevada is an assemblywoman named Michele Fiore, and she said in a telephone interview, quote, “If these young, hot little girls on campus have a firearm, I wonder how many men will want to assault them. The sexual assaults that are occurring would go down once these sexual predators get a bullet in their head.” Well, all of that\u2019s true. None of that\u2019s even arguable. But the New York Times and other leftist outlets are in shock. They\u2019re apoplectic in reporting it. <\/p>\n

Bjorn Lomborg, do you remember him, Snerdley? Bjorn Lomborg, he\u2019s an environmentalist. He used to be an environmentalist wacko, and then he left the environmentalist wacko fringe and became one of us. We interviewed him for the Limbaugh Letter back in the nineties after he had made the transition from wackoism to truthful mainstream. And during that interview he automatically on the spot reassumed wackoism, and I had to cancel the interview. <\/p>\n

The whole pretext for having Bjorn Lomborg on was that he was a former wacko who had seen the light. He was out there exposing the falsehoods and the mechanisms and the way the wackos were attempting to spread their agenda. For some reason they had gotten to him right before the interview and he just caved. Well, he\u2019s gone back and forth. Now he\u2019s back to this position, and he\u2019s been there quite a while now, so I think he\u2019s kind of glued to it, which is good. He\u2019s now in this position of explaining how the global warming and the entire environmentalist wacko movement is indeed wackos and fraudulent and a hoax. <\/line><\/p>\n

He has a column in USA Today<\/a>: “Electric Car Benefits? Just Myths.” I can\u2019t wait to give you the details of this \u2019cause, you know, the electric car, it\u2019s one of the left\u2019s favorite projects to save the planet and signify modernity and an advanced, forward, progressive kind of thinking, and here comes a former environmentalist wacko exposing the whole project as nothing but a series of myths. <\/p>\n

The judge, the Texas judge — we touched on this a little bit yesterday — who issued an injunction on Obama\u2019s executive amnesty. It looks more and more like — and knock on Formica here. Well, this is granite actually. Formica, my rear. It\u2019s granite. But it looks like it\u2019s gonna be really difficult for the Regime to get this reversed. It looks like this judge pulled a really brilliant maneuver. And so it\u2019s going to be left to Obama to just ignore him and go ahead and implement executive amnesty anyway. <\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the story about how ICE is losing track of illegal immigrants in the country. We don\u2019t even know who they are. Sort of like how we can\u2019t keep track of the Americans who are joining ISIS overseas. <\/p>\n

Some economic news that is not true, either. The economy is roaring back. We\u2019ve got a great recovery happening out there, man, it\u2019s unprecedented. Except one thing: Wages are falling. It\u2019s in the news story and they\u2019re a little bit perplexed. “The economy, it\u2019s so great, man, it\u2019s coming back, it\u2019s roaring back to life, it\u2019s really growing.” But wages are falling and they say, “Well, just give the wages time to catch up.” No. If wages are falling there is no economic recovery going on. Eleven and a half million Obamacare sign-ups. Investor\u2019s Business Daily<\/a> with an editorial on the continuing disaster that is Obamacare. <\/p>\n

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and very much opposed to net neutrality, has just come out both barrels firing, saying that net neutrality will F everything up<\/a>. And it will. It puts the government in charge of the Internet. It\u2019s amazing, I read my little tech blogs and all of these little tech bloggers who hate the NSA, they despise the NSA, they think the NSA is spying on \u2019em and reading everything that they write, but, man, when Obama comes along and his FCC comes along and wants to totally control the Internet, these little tech bloggers are all for it, because you know why? <\/line><\/p>\n

They think what the government\u2019s gonna do is penalize Comcast and AT&T and T-Mobile and the other providers cause they think the other providers screw them by overcharging them and not giving them fast enough speeds. So they\u2019re all for the government coming in and punishing corporate interests that provide access to the Internet under the guise of net neutrality. But on the other hand, here\u2019s a government that they hate spying on them. It just goes to show the inconsistency and the dichotomy of these young people. On the one hand good, government, great. On the other hand, good government, we can\u2019t trust it, they\u2019re spying on us. It\u2019s the same government.<\/p>\n

“Justice Department could sue Ferguson, Missouri, for racial discrimination.” I predicted this to you. This is gonna be a See, I Told You So<\/a> when we get to it. And the New York Post has a story today asking, “Why are Islamic Jihadists so obsessed with porn?” They don\u2019t just ask the question, they assert that they are, and they talk about all the porn that SEAL Team Six recovered during the kill bin Laden operation. And indeed it turns out that Islamic Jihadists do have a fascination with porn. <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s obviously \u2019cause they can\u2019t find jobs. It\u2019s obviously because they can\u2019t get work. And this is something else that we need to tackle along with finding them jobs. By the way, we know from this summit that Obama in his speech today, we now know that Marie Harf<\/a>, whether she believes it or not, was ordered to go out and say two days in a row that we can\u2019t win the war militarily, that we can\u2019t kill our way out of the war, we\u2019re going to have to go find them jobs. <\/p>\n

So that\u2019s some of the stuff that\u2019s coming up in addition to Giuliani. I venture to say that vast majority of Americans, whether they would admit it or not, agree with Giuliani. I think that\u2019s one of the reasons why the Drive-By Media is so apoplectic and outraged. Okay, brief time-out. We\u2019ll come back, and we\u2019ll dig deeper into the president\u2019s remarks today and other aspects, other people\u2019s comments about the War on Terror and how it\u2019s not a war on Islam. Islam\u2019s got nothing to do with what we\u2019re fighting. And you better learn it fast. You better learn it now, and you better never forget it. Nothing to do with Islam. We\u2019re not at war with Islam. We\u2019re never gonna be at war with Islam. This terrorism is not Islam, has nothing to do with it, and you\u2019d better learn it fast. Meanwhile, keep a sharp eye out on Christians, Crusades, you know the violence they can commit, keep a sharp eye on them, but this isn\u2019t about Islam and we better figure it out right now and don\u2019t forget it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
