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

RUSH: It is getting just so inexplicable. There\u2019s no common sense explanation for anything that\u2019s happening. I mean, the polling data, for example, on immigration. Right now the Kaiser Family Foundation<\/a> has put out a poll, and it shows that Republican voters think standing tough on immigration is the most important issue by far, even more important than repealing Obamacare. What are the Republicans doing? Trying to pass amnesty. <\/p>\n

Republican voters, Americans of all stripes are all literally melting phone lines in Washington<\/a>. They are letting all of their elected officials know that they don\u2019t want any part of either comprehensive immigration reform or temporary legal status for the kids coming across the border. And the left says, “That\u2019s a really great thing, Limbaugh, how are you going to make hay out of the fact that the only Republican immigration policy is deporting children? You really think you can make hay about that?” I said, “I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what this is about. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019s how the American people look at this.” <\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter that they\u2019re children, because what the American people know is that the parents of these kids are next if something isn\u2019t done here. What the American people know is that if this is not dealt with, there\u2019s no end to this, and there\u2019s got to be an end to it. There simply has to be or else borders don\u2019t mean anything anymore. And if your borders don\u2019t mean anything, it won\u2019t be long before you don\u2019t have a nation. And people are very cognizant of this. This is what they\u2019re tantamount concerned with. <\/line><\/p>\n

The Republicans in Washington, the Republican leadership, there are all kinds of ways to explain their behavior. Common sense, however, will not answer your questions. I\u2019m going to tell you why they\u2019re doing what they\u2019re doing. It isn\u2019t complicated, ladies and gentlemen. It\u2019s kind of tough to swallow, but it really isn\u2019t complicated. Even though you are melting the phone lines, they don\u2019t care. Their donors are telling them they want comprehensive immigration reform, which is a much different thing than what\u2019s being discussed at the border today with children. The donors, the people the Republicans really think make their lives possible, like I think you make my career possible. <\/p>\n

I mean, yeah, I\u2019m a factor. I\u2019m here every day. But if you weren\u2019t, it wouldn\u2019t matter. And I have never placed myself above you in anything, attitudinally. There\u2019s no way you would know this, but each and every day I do this program the only people I care about are you. And it\u2019s a matter of respect. Am I meeting your expectations? You invest a certain amount of time here every day where you could be doing something else. So you have some expectations. My job is to meet them at least, and hopefully surpass them every day. The show is the thing and giving it my best each and every day. And if a day goes by that I don\u2019t, or if I think I don\u2019t or think I haven\u2019t, I go home down in the dumps and start thinking about how to make up for it the next day. <\/p>\n

But the Republicans in Congress, those people that matter to them are the donors, because they think that without the money, they couldn\u2019t run for re-election, couldn\u2019t run for election. And if they don\u2019t get the money, then all the votes in the world aren\u2019t going to matter, because they\u2019ll never get them. They put money in front of votes. They don\u2019t get the money to campaign and do whatever else then they\u2019re never going to be able to reach you, convince you you should vote for them. So their donors are really the ones wagging their tail. <\/line><\/p>\n

Chamber of commerce, Tom Donahue, said within the past six weeks that if the Republicans don\u2019t do amnesty, comprehensive immigration reform, they may as well not even nominate a candidate for president in 2016. Now, that\u2019s a little extreme. But he was trying to make a point, “Hey, do not ignore us. If you guys don\u2019t give us what we want there\u2019s no reason why we\u2019re going to financially support you.” <\/p>\n

Now, they look at financial support the way I look at you, loyally admitting that you listen every day to this program. So the bottom line is, the simple explanation is, that for the most part the Republican leadership in the House supports amnesty. There\u2019s no other way to explain what they\u2019re doing. Maybe harsh. Maybe extreme, but common sense if you employ it, they\u2019re not trying to stop it. Why aren\u2019t they trying to stop it? <\/p>\n

Well, the people that they think make them possible want it. Therefore, they\u2019re supporting amnesty. What they\u2019re doing, what they\u2019re trying to figure out how to do is to pretend they\u2019re not for it. And that\u2019s why they\u2019re twisted into all kinds of different shapes. While they\u2019re figuring out ways to end up making comprehensive immigration reform possible, different from what\u2019s happening on the border…<\/p>\n

That would be simple to deal with, I think. You just shut down DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals]! You just say that we\u2019re no longer going to legalize children from anywhere unaccompanied, and we\u2019re not going to grant them any kind of temporary status. Just end it. Real simple. One sentence. They\u2019re not going to do that either. If they don\u2019t support amnesty, they at least believe that their donors want it and so therefore they\u2019ve got to deliver. <\/p>\n

But they know you don\u2019t want it. So they\u2019re on a tightrope. It\u2019s not that they want to blow you off. They want to give their donors what they want while at the same time figure out how to convince you that\u2019s not what they\u2019re doing, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s hard to figure out what they\u2019re doing. That\u2019s why common sense doesn\u2019t apply when trying to answer it. <\/p>\n

Now, the problem that they\u2019re running into, the House leadership, is as they try to occupy both sides of this narrow little line — supporting amnesty because their donors do and then trying to make you think they don\u2019t — there is a small number of conservatives in the House who are calling them on it. That\u2019s how I know. <\/p>\n

I am smart enough to figure this out on my own, but I don\u2019t have to in this case because the conservative Republican representatives are calling them on it. They\u2019re telling us this is what\u2019s going on. When this is all said and done, when it comes to anything on immigration, they like Obama doing this on his own. They really don\u2019t want to stop him.<\/p>\n

All these executive actions, executive orders? Since everybody involved wants the same thing, then the Republican\u2019s job is to make their voters think they don\u2019t want it. So how do you do that? Let Obama do it alone! Therefore, they like Obama doing it on his own, so they don\u2019t take a direct hit, and then they file this lawsuit bill. After they have stood aside and let Obama do what he\u2019s doing, then they file the lawsuit. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s part of convincing you that they really don\u2019t want this to happen. <\/p>\n

So, in a sense, they are trying to balance deceptions. If you don\u2019t know that, and you\u2019re just trying to use your natural intelligence peppered and flavored with a lot of common sense, you\u2019re going to go nuts trying to figure this out. Because none of this makes any common sense, not from the standpoint of preserving the country, saving the country or preventing Obama from transforming it. None of it makes any sense. <\/p>\n

If you look at the Republican Party as an opposition party, none of this makes any sense. But if you see the Republican leadership and the establishment and their donors as essentially on the same page as Obama, then maybe on your own you can start to figure this out and make it make sense. Grab audio sound bite number three. This is Ron Fournier. Now, Ron Fournier is going through a transformation of his own, I think.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to blow it here by calling him on it, though. These guys also like to live under a certain amount of cover. Ron Fournier, former AP bureau chief in Washington, former slavish member Drive-By Media, pro-Democrat. He\u2019s now over at National Journal, and he\u2019s sickened. This immigration fiasco literally has him sickened.<\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost like he\u2019s seen the light. What he has concluded is that neither party wants to stop this. That\u2019s what he\u2019s concluded, and he can\u2019t believe it. Neither party wants to stop it. He was on Bret Baier last night on the Fox News Channel and the question was: “The Republican leadership wants something. What is it?” <\/p>\n

FOURNIER: It means nothing. The Senate\u2019s gone; the president\u2019s not going to sign it. (chuckles) All we have today is Republicans are trying to come up with something so they can say, “Hey, we tried to solve the crisis,” and the Democrats already have something that they can say, “Hey, we tried to solve the crisis.” Both parties know they\u2019re not solving the crisis. What\u2019s happening is our Congress is going on vacation for five weeks without addressing a severe humanitarian crisis on our border. I don\u2019t even have the stomach to parse blame.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now he\u2019s talking about the bill that would provide Obama money for humanitarian reasons to deal with these kids. But he may as well be talking about immigration policy overall. So, “Both parties know they\u2019re not trying to solve the crisis.” Amen! Amen. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now back to immigration for just a second, because that is unbelievable, too. I\u2019m telling you, today is surreal, and it seems like every day is surreal. One surreal day after the next. Chris Stirewalt, who is the Fox News Digital Political Director<\/a>, says that there is a single reason why the Republicans got back into action to try to pass an immigration bill.<\/p>\n

And it was because of a tweet from White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer. “Why is the House working so hard today to pass a bill to address the border crisis that is dead on arrival in the Senate and would surely face a veto from President Obama if it were to pass?” Well I have answered that in the first half hour of the program.<\/p>\n

The reason they\u2019re doing it… They know it doesn\u2019t have a chance in the Senate. They know it doesn\u2019t have a chance even if it got through the Senate. Obama would veto it. That doesn\u2019t matter. Like we told you yesterday, they\u2019re doing this to try to curry favor with Hispanic voters. They\u2019re doing this to show Hispanic voters they love them. They\u2019re doing this to show Hispanic voters they don\u2019t hate them. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re doing exactly what the Democrats are telling them they should do. “Come out in favor of the immigration reform deal on the table. Come out in favor of it because if you don\u2019t,” says, for example, Chuck Schumer. “If you Republicans don\u2019t, you\u2019re never going to win the White House and we really want you to win the White House!” Right.<\/p>\n

So the Republicans really think… This is not BS. This is not speculation. It\u2019s not satire. It\u2019s not an attempt to be funny. It happens to be really be true. This current Republican leadership actually believes that passing a bill that promises not to deport the kids that are coming across the border now will actually win the White House for them or go a long way toward helping them win because they think that\u2019s what the Hispanic community wants. <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s come down to this: Disagreeing with anything the administration wants to do is automatically now portrayed as racist, sexist, extreme. I mean just disagreeing, having a debate — simply opposing, disagreeing — equals now racism, bigotry, what have you. That\u2019s the climate. That\u2019s the climate that the Republicans find themselves in. Just disagreeing gets that charge. <\/p>\n

Just opposing — intellectually opposing what Obama wants to do — equals all of these horrible characteristics. The media enforces it because the Democrats want that to be the way all this is characterized. So the way it works is this: “Why is the House working so hard today to pass a bill to address the border crisis that is dead on arrival in the Senate and would surely face a veto from President Obama if it were to pass?” <\/p>\n

In other words, why are they working so hard on something they know isn\u2019t ever going to happen? Because they\u2019re trying to practice the art of deception on a very narrow tripwire. They want amnesty, but they want Obama to get all the quote\/unquote “credit” or “blame.” But for their donors, their donors must see that the Republicans tried to make it happen. The Republican donors know that it can\u2019t happen right now. <\/p>\n

The Republican big money donors, however, apparently want to see that the Republicans are trying to make it happen. Ergo, the Republicans are authoring legislation that would give the big donors what they want: Reform amnesty and certain kinds of treatment here at the border with the kids. So they pass a bill that doesn\u2019t have a prayer, and they can say to their donors, “See? We tried!<\/p>\n

“Look, it\u2019s everything you wanted in it. But Harry Reid said no and we can\u2019t control Harry Reid. But we tried! We tried!” They say the same thing to Hispanic voters. “We tried! We do love you! We do respect you! We do want you to vote for us. See what we did?” But it doesn\u2019t have a prayer. So after they try it and it gets shot down, Obama does what he does using his executive actions, and he gets the blame while the Republicans get what they want. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Because it\u2019s what their donors want. The reason they\u2019re back at it today, is Dan Pfeiffer went to Twitter<\/a>. “Moments after House leaders scuttled a scheduled vote,” shortly after two o\u2019clock… Boehner and the Republican leaders pulled their immigration bill yesterday. This is the funding for Obama to do whatever he wants to do with the kids.<\/p>\n

“Moments after they pulled the bill, Pfeiffer tweeted ‘…the House GOP once again proves why the President must act on his own to solve problems.'” So Pfeiffer is out there and he\u2019s gloating. (summarized) “See! Look! The House Republicans once again they can\u2019t get anything done. So only Obama can.” This is a message guaranteed to hit low-information voters right in the brain. <\/p>\n

This is a message directly aimed at low-information voters. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a message that justifies what Obama has been saying out there on his little campaign trail. (impression) “Hey, you know what? I just wish they\u2019d stop hatin\u2019 and do their jobs! But if they don\u2019t, I\u2019m gonna have to do it on my own.” The Republicans come along and they pull the bill — as it should have been; it was a lousy bill — and Pfeiffer goes out and says, “See? This is why Obama has to act on his own!”<\/p>\n

So the Republicans, to counter that, are back in action today trying to pass something. Because they\u2019re dancing on so many pinheads of deception. They\u2019ve got to try to convince you they don\u2019t want Obama getting away with this. They\u2019ve gotta try to convince you that they\u2019re trying to stop Obama. And they\u2019ve gotta try to convince their donors that they\u2019re trying to make all this happen. And then they\u2019ve got Dan Pfeiffer to deal with.<\/p>\n

You know, we\u2019re lucky there wasn\u2019t a hashtag on this. If there was a hashtag, we might have had people actually changing parties yesterday. If the Democrats had really pulled out the big guns and added a hashtag to this tweet, ah, folks, I shudder to think. I\u2019m getting heart palpitations thinking what might have been yesterday. Thank God they didn\u2019t do a hashtag attached to the tweet. Chris Stirewalt says that “had Pfeiffer waited a bit to gloat, it might have been harder for Speaker John Boehner and his team to get members back from the exits to start working on a new compromise.”<\/line><\/p>\n

But once Pfeiffer from the White House went out and tweeted: well, see, these buffoons can\u2019t do anything, that\u2019s why Obama\u2019s gotta to do it. They were forced back in. This is what happens when you don\u2019t stand for anything. It\u2019s what happens when you don\u2019t have your own cause. It\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re not willing to push back. It\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re trying to balance yourself on the tripwire so that if you fall off, you can\u2019t get hurt. That\u2019s really hard to do. <\/p>\n

“The message made it clear to frustrated members just how the president planned to use their failure to advance a bill. ‘Exhibit A,\u2019 as one leadership aide described the tweet to Fox News First.” See? This is exactly how Obama\u2019s going to do it. The House Republicans come up with an idea to pass a bill. They fail. Failure is the only an option because Harry Reid won\u2019t deal with anything they send him. So they goad the Republicans into passing a bill in the first place. They goad them by saying you guys are never going to win the White House if you don\u2019t get on good standing with the Hispanics. <\/p>\n

So they go pass a bill and no chance for it to ever see the light of day and Obama says: All right. All right. Now I can go out and say, “See, I have to do it myself.” Thereby, justifying his extra-constitutional behavior because the Republicans just can\u2019t do anything. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So I\u2019ve set the table. What is happening today? I\u2019m not really sure, but I\u2019m going to tell you what I think is going on, because I\u2019m not there. The House is going to vote today on what\u2019s called the Blackburn bill. This is Marsha Blackburn, Republican, Tennessee. She has introduced language that essentially freezes DACA. DACA is the unlawful Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that Obama initiated in 2012, the dreamers, in which he just proclaimed with a stroke of a pen that any child in the country illegally under 16 is automatically legal and can stay. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what he\u2019s talking about expanding with the stroke of his pen. And White House is sending signals, “You know what, he just might legalize all 11 million. He might do five or six million, he might do 11.” Well, if he\u2019s going to do five or six million, how are we going to know which ones? One of the big problems and I\u2019ve said this I don\u2019t know how many times — one of the big problems the Republicans have is they\u2019ve got no confidence. They literally have been beaten down. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s to the point now, folks, that when Obama makes an argument, they assume he has won it simply by making it. They are so beaten down, they don\u2019t think they can even win in a debate against Obama. They don\u2019t think they can beat Obama. Obama proclaims a position, states a position, and it\u2019s just assumed that everybody\u2019s going to agree with him. They believe, even with Obama plummeting in the polls — folks, Obama is at 39 percent in Gallup. He\u2019s at 40. The economy is a mess. The jobs being created, I have details, nothing to write home about. There\u2019s no recovery. There is nothing for Obama to hang his hat on, but they believe, I\u2019m telling you, they believe that he is just as popular today as he was in 2008. They must. It\u2019s gotten to the point that all Obama has to do is make an argument and they think it\u2019s over. <\/line><\/p>\n

They think everybody agrees with Obama when he says something. And they don\u2019t want to be seen disagreeing with Obama because that\u2019s racist or it\u2019s being mean, I don\u2019t know what. But I do know what causes it. No confidence. Absolutely no confidence. Being a puppet, either the donors telling you what to do or your voters telling you what to do, but having no sense of self. <\/p>\n

So anyway, back to the legislation. The House is going to vote on Blackburn\u2019s bill that would freeze DACA. No more kids. The problem is, as I\u2019m reading this, and I\u2019m reading this from Heritage, here\u2019s what they say. “To be clear, Heritage would have preferred language to freeze DACA be rolled into the supplemental. However, it\u2019s undeniable that the president\u2019s unilateral actions have become the focus of the debate.” It looks to me like the Blackburn bill is a separate bill. It\u2019s not part of the big thing. It\u2019s not part of the supplemental. It\u2019s not part of the bill that will send Obama some money. And if that\u2019s true, it\u2019s toothless. <\/p>\n

Again, I could be wrong about this, but it looks like this is the way that they\u2019ve set this up. Give the conservatives the vote they want on freezing DACA, the Blackburn bill, but it\u2019s a stand-alone. It\u2019s over there. It\u2019s not in the main bill, which is called the supplemental. So once again, those practicing deceit, they can say they voted against DACA. They voted against any more kids being made legal. They can run around at town hall meetings in August and when they run for re-election, “Hey, hey, remember I voted against this. I voted against DACA,” but it wasn\u2019t part of the main bill. <\/p>\n

So they get cover while in the main bill, the supplemental, they go ahead and vote for the authorization of some money for Obama to deal with this as he wants. Now, again, I\u2019m only assuming this because of this one little paragraph in a release by the Heritage Foundation where they say we would have preferred language to freeze DACA, the Blackburn bill, be rolled into the supplemental, which means it\u2019s not the supplemental, which sounds like it\u2019s a stand-alone over here. We\u2019ll see. But as best I can tell, that\u2019s what\u2019s happening today. That\u2019s what the Republicans are doing in their vote today. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is two separate bills. The Blackburn bill freezing DACA is a separate bill from the supplemental. Obama\u2019s going to ignore it anyway, and it isn\u2019t going to be passed by the Senate. So again, it\u2019s a public perception thing that is taking place. Look, there\u2019s lots more to do, folks. We\u2019ll move on to it and get into your calls when we get back. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jean in Harvard, Illinois. You\u2019re next, Open Line Friday. Welcome to the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Congratulations on your 26th anniversary. Long-term listener, 24\/7 member. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019d like to challenge your terminology. Obama is using the illegal alien children as human shields to promote himself and his amnesty policy to protect him from all criticism. We can\u2019t attack amnesty without being seen as hurting those children. Secondly, he\u2019s also the human-trafficker-in-chief. He wants to bring them in by the airplane load, not in the smaller groups the coyotes use, and who is placing them in families? Is it those who have redefined what families are? These children are ripe for exploitation. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Children are ripe for exploitation, yes, no question about it. And you are right in your first claim that Obama\u2019s hiding behind, they\u2019re human shields. In fact, I watched a show on Fox not long ago and the question was: I don\u2019t know how you Republicans are going to win, because it seems like what you\u2019re saying is that you don\u2019t want to take care of children. And furthermore, you want to deport a bunch of children. Would you tell me how that is a winning political idea? And you\u2019re exactly right. That\u2019s why they\u2019re doing this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
