By the way, the Republican Party is leaving Washington.  The Republicans have left town with no plan to deal with this, and it\u2019s not as though they were blindsided.  Anyway, this was at a little press event that the Speaker had on Capitol Hill today.  Just a little portion.  We got about 45 seconds of it.<\/p>\n<p>BOEHNER:  All year long, I\u2019ve warned the president that by taking unilateral action on matters such as this health care law or by threatening action repeatedly on immigration, he was making it impossible to build the trust necessary to work together.  As I warned the president, you can\u2019t ask the elected representatives of the people to trust you to enforce the law if you\u2019re constantly demonstrating that you can\u2019t be trusted to enforce the law.  The president never listened, and with this action he\u2019s refused to listen to the American people.  The president has taken actions that he himself has said are those of a king or an emperor, not an American president.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_99133\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaBoehnerFearConstitution.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Yeah, he did.  Yeah, he did.  Okay.  He did. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Now what? <\/p>\n<p>This is what everybody wants to know here. Everybody knows what he did.  Most everybody. I maintain that even people like Geraldo and these others that are applauding and this Ramos guy from Univision, all know it\u2019s the legal.  It\u2019s just that some of them are celebrating it.  But they all know, and everybody knows it\u2019s unconstitutional. <\/p>\n<p>So? <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s literally mind-boggling. <\/p>\n<p>So many people are apparently of the belief that the illegal or unconstitutional act alone is enough to engender corrective measures in response, and we\u2019re seeing that it just doesn\u2019t work that way.  So the Constitution is still full of holes.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Robert in Waldorf, Maryland, as we head to the phones on Open Line Friday.  Great to have you on the program.  Hello, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  How you doing, Rush? How you hitting \u2019em?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Pretty good.  Well, hitting? Actually, since you ask, I\u2019m crushing \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Too cold up here to hit \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, that\u2019s why I don\u2019t live up there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That\u2019s terrible.  But I\u2019ve been listening to you every day. You keep me well educated and I thank you for that. But I got a different way of looking at it and I wanted to run it by you.  I think that maybe Obama just blew up the Democrat Party, \u2019cause to me as long as the Republicans don\u2019t get their hand in this, this is now on him and the Democrats, and I just think that that\u2019s gonna backfire on them.<\/p>\n<p>The people were already mad two weeks ago.  The people were pretty clear to me what they said two weeks ago, and basically last night he flipped all of us the bird.  But I think by him doing this, he just blew up the whole Democrat Party, and I heard you yesterday say they\u2019re gonna march on and all, but I think he really did them great damage yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IiL6JnA4aPE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, you heard me correctly yesterday, and I was trying to make a point with it.  I\u2019m not trying to say it\u2019s not important to beat them in elections; it is.  But that\u2019s not all that we have to do to stop them.  You gotta do more than win elections, is my point.  They\u2019ve got a whole wing of that party that doesn\u2019t care whether they win or lose elections. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna keep implementing their agenda and corrupting as much of the country as they can &#8212; behind the scenes that nobody notices &#8212; whether they win elections or not.  But that was just to clarify what I said yesterday.  You think that the Democrats had their hat handed to \u2019em. You think that Obama has really put an albatross around their neck with this.  &#8220;As long as the Republicans stay out of this,&#8221; is that what you said?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, sir. You know &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  What do you mean by that? What do you mean, &#8220;as long as the Republicans stay out of it&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, number one, I think, Rush, the impeachment thing. They don\u2019t have 67 votes, so that\u2019s a moot point there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They\u2019re not even talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  But I\u2019m just saying as in general. That\u2019s just the way people talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But they\u2019re not talking about it.  It\u2019s not an issue.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They\u2019re not gonna do it.  They\u2019ve already said so.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And if they go out and take up this immigration issue, this is a hot issue. You know that. Country wide, I don\u2019t know what the polls are. It\u2019s 58% of people or whatever it is are against amnesty.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  So as long as they don\u2019t touch it, it\u2019s wrapped up. He\u2019s got it around his neck; he\u2019s got it around the Democrat Party\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  So let me see.  What we\u2019re supposed to do&#8230; I just want to understand your theory. What we\u2019re supposed to do is pretty much replicate what we did during the election: &#8220;Just shut up! Just let him do this stuff, shut up, and let him kill Democrat Party?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  To me, the only chance we have is getting the White House in \u201916 and reversing this. If we do not get the White House in the next election, we\u2019re never gonna turn this stuff around, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t disagree with that. Hey, you don\u2019t have to be contentious with me. I\u2019m not disagreeing.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019d never be contentious with you, sir. You taught me everything I know.  You taught me how to read the green on the green<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I can read Bermuda greens with the best of them, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, I love what you do. I appreciate all you taught me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I love that.  He\u2019s talking about reading greens, Bermuda greens and so forth.  Yeah.  That\u2019s so great. You can spot the grain?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  All right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  All right.  Well, look, before you go here, Robert, let me tell you what I think.  Let me tell you what I fear.  I think Obama is watching right now.  I think Obama is taking note of how little anger, protest, opposition there really is.  I mean, it might be in the polls, but Obama is taking the measure right now of how much more of this he can do in the next two years with as little opposition as he thinks he\u2019s gonna get.  I guarantee you he\u2019s only just begun here, Robert.  We haven\u2019t even started the final two years.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know. That\u2019s what I said.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  He has just blown up the Constitution, and as far as he\u2019s concerned, life is going on as normal.  There\u2019s not a single protest about it.  There\u2019s not one Republican leader threatening to do anything about it, and I think Obama is saying, &#8220;I\u2019ve got a free road.  There\u2019s no stopping me.  I can do anything!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  But it\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s done it.  I mean, you go back &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, but my point is while he may have saddled the Democrat Party with a really, really bad situation here &#8212; that all may be correct &#8212; it isn\u2019t going to affect him in any way.  It\u2019s not gonna matter to him what happens to the Democrat Party because of what he\u2019s done.  If he sees&#8230; Look at what he just did, folks!  He just looked the Constitution in the eye and basically wadded it up and threw it away, and nobody is saying a word!  I guarantee you he\u2019s thinking he\u2019s got smooth sailing for the last two years.  This is just the beginning.  That\u2019s what I\u2019m really concerned about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Grab sound bite number 19, John Boehner, the Speaker of the House.
