Stan, Bloomington, Illinois, great to have you on the EIB Network, Stan. I appreciate your patience. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-339303 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030620-Limbaugh-Institute.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030620-Limbaugh-Institute.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030620-Limbaugh-Institute-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir. Been a fan for almost three decades.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you. I appreciate that, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: To the point. If the Democrats are willing to spend $8 billion because of 26 deaths and because of a potential threat, why wouldn\u2019t they be willing to spend $8 billion on a border wall for the very same reason?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, you can answer that question. You know you\u2019ve got the answer that question. I\u2019ve got the answer to the question.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, it\u2019s all a matter of giving Trump a win or making Trump look bad.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, it goes beyond that, but I get your point. It goes beyond making Trump look good or bad.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m all ears.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Actually, it\u2019s a well phrased question. I appreciate it. I need to keep that up there on the board, though. Don\u2019t take that off \u2019cause I\u2019m gonna answer this. Eight billion on 26 deaths and yet we will not spend a fraction of that on a wall. Why not? I mean, the question practically answers itself, unless you think we can colonize Mars, and then you might have trouble with it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. The question was, if liberals think it\u2019s okay to spend billions of dollars, eight billion, whatever it is, on 26 deaths and the potential for more in the coronavirus, then why not spend billions on the wall? Because the wall is to protect the country, it\u2019s to keep illegal aliens out, it\u2019s to preserve the culture and to keep illnesses out. So why this mad dash to spend all this money and now they want to suspend flights from China and all this kind of stuff.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-312509\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061719-Trump-Wall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061719-Trump-Wall.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061719-Trump-Wall-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>It\u2019s very simple, folks. And you know the answer to the question. And it\u2019s not just something related to Trump, although Trump is a factor because the wall is a factor in the question. Illegal immigration &#8212; look. We have new people tuning into this program every hour of every day for a host of reasons. And so often I have to go back and repeat things that many of you have heard me say a lot of times over the course of the many years you\u2019ve been listening.<\/p>\n<p>So for those of you who are new to the program &#8212; and we try to get you up to speed as quickly as possible. We try to get you in context as it were, and that is, you need to understand some of the basic things I believe in order to then understand various aspects of my analysis of news events and stories as they occur.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass, economic underclass. They need a permanent segment of the population in economic need. As people improve their economic circumstances and move up the income ladder and go from, say, poor to lower class to lower middle and then middle class, maybe upper class, as people improve themselves &#8212; which happens for the most part with age.<\/p>\n<p>As you get older, you learn more, you\u2019re capable of earning more, you take on more responsibility, have more experience, all that. You do better as you get older. And you become less dependent as you become more economically self-reliant. That\u2019s not good for Democrats. Democrats can\u2019t win without a significant portion of the population unable to help itself. They need a permanent economic underclass.<\/p>\n<p>Illegal immigration is the pipeline to maintain a permanent underclass. The people in it may change, but they need a certain percentage of the American population in poverty, in need, in dependence of government for their own survival. If the Democrats don\u2019t have that, then they can\u2019t make a play for the expansion of government and welfare here, free education there, free welfare over here, free college tuition. The more people economically viable, the more Americans who are economically self-sufficient, the more wealthy the American people are, the worse it is for the political fortunes of the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-224847\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushUndeniableTruths1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushUndeniableTruths1.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushUndeniableTruths1-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, this may offend some of you tuning in for the first time, but do not doubt me on this. Because it is an Undeniable Truth of Life. The Democrat Party cannot survive without a constant, permanent underclass. Illegal immigration &#8212; i.e., open borders, a way for illegal immigrants to get into the country &#8212; by definition they\u2019re not gonna be self-reliant. That\u2019s why they\u2019re coming here. Most of them are not even gonna speak English.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna need health care. They\u2019re gonna need a job. They\u2019re gonna need the government doing things for them. That\u2019s made to order. That is the Democrat Party primary constituency &#8212; people that can\u2019t help themselves. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t want Trump building a wall. Another reason they don\u2019t want Trump building a wall is that this distinct American culture that is unique to any culture in the world, that is rooted in market capitalism, that also is something that the Democrat Party cannot function peacefully with.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat Party needs &#8212; this is why this business about Bernie Sanders being a socialist is so funny to me. The Democrat Party is a Socialist Party. They don\u2019t oppose Bernie Sanders\u2019 policies, folks. They simply oppose that he\u2019s so open and honest about it. He\u2019s gonna go down in flames. But they don\u2019t disagree.<\/p>\n<p>If every Democrat could, they would give away free college. If every Democrat could figure out a way to get elected doing it, they would forgive student loans. It\u2019s who they are, it\u2019s what they believe in. It\u2019s how they want power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass, economic underclass. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":339097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
