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

RUSH: The smartest thing to do is distrust anything coming out of this Regime. There\u2019s something out there that they\u2019re pushing, and it can be really complicated, if you listen to the wrong people about it, and that\u2019s called “net neutrality.” <\/p>\n

It\u2019s something that is totally mis-titled. There\u2019s nothing “neutral” about net neutrality, what the Regime wants to do. But here\u2019s the thing. I\u2019m telling you, you don\u2019t even need to know what it\u2019s about. All you need to know is who is behind it, and that alone should disqualify your support. It\u2019s the same people that had given us Obamacare and the same way they did it: They lied through their teeth, misrepresented it, ran a con game. <\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re still running the con. Here\u2019s the thing. You remember the movie The Sting? I remember that movie. I liked that movie, and one of the reasons I liked the movie is because I figured it out before it happened. It\u2019s one of the few times in a novel or a book or a movie that I actually was ahead of the plot and figured it out. Normally I read a novel, a mystery novel and wait for things to be revealed. I don\u2019t try to figure them out. <\/p>\n

The Sting<\/a>, for some reason, it all came to me. So when the final sting happened, I had already suspected that\u2019s what was gonna happen. So I wasn\u2019t as shocked as the rest of the audience was. There\u2019s one thing I remember about that movie. I think it was the Newman character, Henry Gondorff, said the key to the con is that it\u2019s never over. You never let the person you conned know he\u2019s been conned. Never. The con goes on. <\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s what\u2019s happening here. They run a giant con game on the population of this country with Obamacare, and they are continuing to run the con. They are not giving it up. They are not gonna admit they\u2019ve been had. They are not gonna admit they\u2019ve been exposed. They are gonna continue to operate on the belief that got them here, and that is that you\u2019re too stupid to figure this out.<\/p>\n

And that you still love and respect the office of the presidency enough that you will believe what your president is telling you about this, that he didn\u2019t know about it, that he\u2019s angry about it, that what Gruber\u2019s saying didn\u2019t happen, that Gruber had no power. He was a simple advisor, he had no influence, and their process was wide open and transparent and everybody knew everything about it. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re running a con game, and they\u2019re demanding you deny it. You never admit the con, because that would then — in the case of a politician — damage any future cons that you want to run. I\u2019m telling you, net neutrality is the next con game they\u2019re running. The question you need to ask yourself is: Do you want the people…? You may not like Comcast and you may not like AT&T and you may not like Time Warner.<\/line><\/p>\n

You may not like them, but do you want the people who gave you Obamacare running your Internet service? Do you want them in charge of what you can get and when you can get it and how much it\u2019s gonna cost you? Are you gonna believe anything they tell you about net neutrality, given what you know? That\u2019s how people need to be dealing with this. This is what frustrates me. Here we have a teachable moment. <\/p>\n

This is indisputable and inarguable what happened. As such, Obama should have forever forfeited any credibility or believability. Obama is now fully exposed as nothing more, in common parlance, as a lying con man. He ought not ever get away with it again, not after something this big that is this damaging and this costly to this many people. And they\u2019re coming at us again.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care what it is. Global warming or climate change or whatever gonna call it — immigration, amnesty, or net neutrality — the fact is they have forfeited any credibility and believability on any of this. Anybody paying attention ought to be suspicious of everything they say about what they intend to do, how they intend to do it, and what its intended benefits are. Because they are lying through their teeth. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Richard in Jackson, Michigan. I\u2019m glad you waited. I\u2019m glad to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos. I\u2019ve been listening since you were on TV.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. That was 1992. That\u2019s many, many moons ago.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s been a while, yeah. Yeah. You were talking about the government wanting to do the net neutrality and take over the Internet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly the way to put it. The government wants to take over the Internet just like they want to take over every other utility and monopolize it, and they want to make it fair for everybody, isn\u2019t it a beautiful thing? Fair and equal for everyone, like everything is fair and equal for everyone now. Yeah. What are your thoughts on that, Richard?<\/p>\n

CALLER: My thought was that their equalization will be the same way that they equalized education, which is the lowest common denominator. So whosever Internet was the slowest, everybody else will slow down to that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no. The same objective exists in net neutrality as exists in Obamacare. What\u2019s the objective in Obamacare? To wipe out private sector insurance, ultimately. You partner with \u2019em first, you butter \u2019em up, and eventually the government becomes single payer. That\u2019s where you go. Net neutrality, we know who these people are. Forget the title, forget net neutrality. The objective here is for Obama, the Democrats, the government to run the Internet. Now, if that\u2019s what you want, if you think the government should run the Internet, and if you think the government creates and causes innovation to happen, why, then, have at it, folks.<\/p>\n
