He said, &#8216;You know, any previous administration facing this kind of opposition to what they\u2019re doing, they\u2019d start backing off. But not this bunch. It\u2019s almost like they enjoy getting up every morning and saying, &#8216;Hey, you think it\u2019s bad now? Try this!\u2019 and they throw another mud ball at us, and they enjoy it.\u2019 So the ICE guy, John Morton, goes out there, loves telling the Chicago Tribune editorial board, &#8216;Eh, screw Arizona. We\u2019re not going to take any referrals from them. We don\u2019t have to.\u2019 We think a federal reform, comprehensive reform, that\u2019s the only way to deal with this.\u2019 And Napolitano says, &#8216;Yeah, yeah, we don\u2019t have to. We can or can\u2019t. It\u2019s up to us.\u2019 So once again, the federal government is telling us in Arizona, (raspberry).<\/p>\n<p>Every day. Yesterday it was Felipe Calderon, brought in to Washington to say to Arizona, &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 Today it\u2019s Janet Napolitano and John Morton of ICE, (raspberry) you. To a state. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to Ahmadenijad. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to Hugo Chavez. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to Fidel Castro. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to the ChiComs. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to Kim Jong-il. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to Dmitry Medvedev. It\u2019s not &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 to Vladimir Putin. It\u2019s &#8216;(raspberry) you!\u2019 and &#8216;(raspberry) (raspberry)(raspberry) you, Arizona,\u2019 from Obama, from Napolitano, and now from John Morton at ICE, and also from Se&amp;ntilde;or Wences. And all of these (raspberry) (raspberry)(raspberry) (raspberry)(raspberry) you gets a standing ovation from the Democrats in the House of Representatives, a standing ovation during a joint session. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" class=\"alignright\"\/>And Snerdley says, &#8216;You know, you expect these guys to start backing down after all this opposition.\u2019 They enjoy this, folks. They enjoy roiling our culture. Only people who do not much like this country would enjoy doing what they\u2019re doing. If you had a profound love and respect for the greatness, the traditions, the institutions that made this country great, you wouldn\u2019t be doing what this regime is doing &#8212; and if you did have respect for the greatness and the traditions and the institutions in this country and some of this was going on, you\u2019d have a little guilty conscience about it. But, no! It\u2019s just the opposite. They seem happy. They seem to enjoy all of this. They seem to actually enjoy every day getting up and causing more of this. <\/p>\n<p>Janet Napolitano, when she was governor of Arizona &#8212; might I remind you, ladies and gentlemen &#8212; begged Washington to send National Guard troops to protect the Arizona border. When she was the governor of Arizona, she begged Washington (that would be Bush) for troops. Now that she\u2019s part of the regime, &#8216;Well, you know, I wouldn\u2019t sign that bill. Senator McCain, you know I wouldn\u2019t sign that bill.\u2019 &#8216;Why not? What\u2019s wrong with it?\u2019 &#8216;I haven\u2019t read it but you know I wouldn\u2019t sign it,\u2019 she said. And the ICE guy says, &#8216;Ah, we don\u2019t have to accept referrals from Arizona,\u2019 and Big Sis the same thing. Barack Obama has his boot on the throat of this country, Snerdley, and he\u2019s not going to let it up any time soon. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, I think that ought to be a cover illustration for the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter: Barack Obama with his boot on the throat of America, on the throat of the country. Smiling. &#8216;Cause that\u2019s precisely what\u2019s happening. Now, listen to this. Cybercast News Service, from Thursday: &#8216;Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said the effort to secure the U.S.-Mexico border is like trying to guarantee that &#8216;no narcotics and no guns are going to pass illegally\u2019 along I-95, a major highway up and down the Atlantic seaboard. &#8216;The Mexico-U.S. border, almost 2,000 miles long, is the most frequently crossed international border in the world &#8212; 250 million people cross annually, one-half million cross illegally,\u2019 Durbin said on Tuesday during a hearing on drug enforcement in Mexico and Colombia conducted by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law. <\/p>\n<p>&#8221;So when there are folks who talk about sealing the border it\u2019s like saying, &#8216;[W]ell, we\u2019re going to go out to I-95 and we\u2019re going to guarantee that no narcotics and no guns are going to pass illegally on interstate 95 today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Senator Durbin, the difference is that people are trying to find the illegal guns and the illegal narcotics and the people bringing them across, and we do find them, then we seize the drugs and we try to put the people selling them and delivering them in jail! That\u2019s the difference. Of course we can\u2019t stop it all. We can\u2019t stop all murders, we can\u2019t stop all bank robberies. But we try! We\u2019re not even trying to deter this, Senator! What a silly analogy. What a silly, insulting analogy. Anybody with a pea brain could figure out, we\u2019re not even trying to stop the people pouring across our southern borders. <\/p>\n<p>This is the liberal argument for all corrupting things that they want to advance. Let\u2019s go back. Let\u2019s review. Back in the early nineties, all of a sudden it became popular to say, &#8216;Rush, we\u2019re not going to stop kids from having sex. They\u2019re just going to do it. So let\u2019s give them condoms and let\u2019s teach them how to use them. Let\u2019s bring cucumbers and so forth into classrooms and let\u2019s start teaching them how to use condoms \u2019cause they\u2019re going to do it, Rush. You can\u2019t stop \u2019em.\u2019 We had parents actually letting their high school sons bring their girlfriends in to the basement because, &#8216;They\u2019re going to have sex, anyway, Rush. We\u2019d rather they have it there than in the dirty backseat of a car.\u2019 I actually had parents call me and say so from Long Island. <\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8216;Okay, fine. Well, if that\u2019s the case, put a pack of cigarettes down there and a case of beer, \u2019cause we can\u2019t stop that, either,\u2019 and marijuana, we can\u2019t stop that. Abortion! &#8216;We can\u2019t stop it, Rush. They\u2019re going to have \u2019em no matter you do.\u2019 &#8216;Okay, so let\u2019s not even try.\u2019 &#8216;Rush, they\u2019re going to cross the border with guns and drugs, and then, you know, it would be like trying to stop it on I-95.\u2019 That\u2019s the point: We do try. We do try. And we seize as much of the contraband, and we stop as many of the people that we\u2019re trying to catch. We\u2019re not making any such effort on the southern border. People are caught all the time on I-95! They\u2019re caught everywhere, except Mexico! <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re caught everywhere except in the southern border, where the effort really isn\u2019t even being made. Yeah, I keep trying to get off the subject. There are other things going on out there, but this immigration stuff, they do, they get up every day and they have their boot on the throat of this country and they\u2019re smiling all the while. They absolutely love this. I sometimes wonder, &#8216;You know, if I came under this program every day and started laughing along with them, &#8216;Hey, folks, isn\u2019t this great how they\u2019re subscribing it up today? Look at how they\u2019re upsetting people!\u2019 I wonder if they\u2019d like me.\u2019 I wonder if Chris Matthews and all these people that hate my guts, I wonder if I could win them over if I started sounding happy at the destruction and supportive &#8212; if I enjoyed, along with them, all of the pain and suffering that they are imposing, that they are causing. Don\u2019t worry, folks, it\u2019s just a thought. I would never, ever do it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.57631.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Okay. So here it is. Here\u2019s the bottom line. We cannot check whether people are in this country illegally, but we can damn well make sure that everybody\u2019s bought health insurance. Right? And if they don\u2019t buy health insurance, Nancy Pelosi and Durbin say we can throw \u2019em in jail! We can\u2019t go out and find people here illegally, but we can damn well make sure everybody here has health insurance. This is kind of fascinating. I love Megyn Kelly, don\u2019t misunderstand. She\u2019s got Ann Coulter with her on Fox right now, and by the way, this should show you how confident I am: Here I am talking about another show on at the same time this one\u2019s on, and I\u2019m not worried at all that you\u2019ll go watch it and abandon this. I know you never would. <\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019re discussing what I brought up in the first hour of the monologue: &#8216;Why? Why are they doing this? Why are they governing against the will of the people?\u2019 Now, Coulter just said, &#8216;It\u2019s that they don\u2019t know anybody who\u2019s not in the ACLU. They don\u2019t understand it.\u2019 I think it\u2019s more than that. I think they love it. I think they know precisely what they\u2019re doing. I think they know they\u2019re governing against the will of the people. They knew it when they took office. Obama knew when he was running for office that he was gonna end up governing against the will of the American people. He knew from the get-go what his policies were going to be. He knew from the get-go what his agenda was going to be. He was going to get up every day and he was going to tighten pressure on your neck with his boot each and every day. <\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s he doing? Why wouldn\u2019t he be happy? Look at the power this man is amassing! Look at the money that he doesn\u2019t have that he\u2019s spending. I mean from his perspective. When you have no concern for the outcome of your actions, when you\u2019re not concerned about the consequences &#8212; when all you want, in fact, is to transform the country and make it a redistributionist society, and when your aim is to cut this country down to size &#8212; how in the world would he not be happy? Is he not doing it? So, Snerdley, you say, &#8216;Well, at some point normal people, back off.\u2019 No, they\u2019re not backing it off &#8212; and in fact they\u2019re priming the pump even more. They\u2019re pushing the throttle even further forward! (interruption) Don\u2019t&#8230; Obama doesn\u2019t care about getting reelected! You\u2019ve gotta throw all the standard ways of looking at this out the window. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He\u2019s gotta care about getting reelected.\u2019 They think they will after Pennsylvania 12 &#8212; and, hell, half of our people apparently do, too! But Obama doesn\u2019t have to get reelected until 2012 and the way he\u2019s going he probably thinks he can get this done in four years and head back to Hawaii and spend whatever George Soros has given him here to make this happen and retire fat, dumb, and happy for the rest of his life. If I were Obama and I was looking at this, &#8216;In a year and a half I\u2019ve caused this much damage and I\u2019ve still got two and a half years to go. In four years I could bring this country down to size after it took 200-plus years to build it into the greatest superpower in history, and I can tear it down and make sure it doesn\u2019t recover for decades.\u2019 In four years? I\u2019d be very happy with myself. <\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t be concerned with backing off. I wouldn\u2019t be saying, &#8216;Oh, people don\u2019t like me. Look, people oppose my immigration policy.\u2019 You don\u2019t think he\u2019s smart enough to know&#8230;? I\u2019m trying to regain my composure. Bringing Felipe Calderon to a joint session of Congress and having him say what he says, folks, the president of the United States used the body of Felipe Calderon to flip us off. That was a life-sized bird that we were flipped yesterday. That was Obama saying, &#8216;(raspberry) (raspberry) you!\u2019 and he used himself and Felipe Calderon to do it, and the Democrats stood up, (clapping) standing O. You cannot look at these people through the traditional prism of Democrat-versus-Republican politics, which is what too many of our people in Washington are still doing. &#8216;Oh, yeah, Rush. He\u2019s just a Democrat. They\u2019re going to win sometimes. We gotta do what they can to stop the policies.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.25945.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"175\" height=\"270\" class=\"alignright\"\/>No! This is a whole different ball game. We\u2019ve never had anything like this before. We\u2019ve never had an administration that agrees with our enemies when they criticize us. We never had an administration that has yet to say a positive thing about this country\u2019s past or its traditions. We have never had, in my lifetime, a president running around the world criticizing or apologizing for this country, and we continue to want to look at this through the traditional Republican-versus-Democrat political prism? If you do that you are forever going to not get it, you are forever going to misunderstand what\u2019s going on. &#8216;But at some point, Rush, they gotta get reelected.\u2019 Do you think they seem worried about it? (interruption) (sigh) Look, look, look, look. &#8216;Democrats in Congress can\u2019t be this stupid. They know what\u2019s going on.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, they do know what\u2019s going. They also know they\u2019re powerless! They\u2019re giving Obama every bit of power they\u2019ve had. They just turned over the entire regulation of the financial industry to the executive branch. They\u2019re gonna turn over immigration to the executive branch. All the other things: Health care? Executive branch. The administration of Medicare? Executive branch has it now. They\u2019re giving it all up. Because what are they? They are liberals first. Have you already forgotten the stories that we had earlier this year? They would be willing to lose their seat in order to get health care passed? Have you forgotten that? Yes, you did. They\u2019re telling us! This is the frustrating thing for me: They\u2019re telling us exactly what they\u2019re going to do. They are spitting it out, in plain English, precisely what they are doing and intend to do. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>All right, Maggie in Enderlin, North Dakota, you\u2019re next on Open Line Friday. Great to have you here.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> CALLER: Thank you. North Dakota seems to be able to do what Arizona is being boycotted for. We had 32 Mexican nationals that were arrested a few days ago, farm workers. Some of them were illegal, some were not, but the Border Patrol was called. They were stopped for erratic driving. It was a routine traffic stop.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: Yeah?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> CALLER: They called Border Patrol for translation, and 32 ended up being arrested and the federal government is working with them to send them back to Mexico.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: Really? Really? Interesting. Well, who knew about it \u2019til you called? If you changed your name to &#8216;Arizona,\u2019 they won\u2019t leave you alone. Maybe Arizona ought to become North Dakota. See, this is another illustration of my point. What happened in Arizona is a political opportunity. It\u2019s a political opportunity to move the Obama agenda forward, and the Obama agenda is moved forward by a series of repetitive moves. You find a way to criticize the traditions of America that have succeeded &#8212; chief among them: Private sector, and everybody in it. Big Retail, Big Drug, Big Oil, Big Pharmaceutical, Big Food, Big Whatever. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> You always play them off against the compassionate, understanding federal government. That had all the answers and all the compassion and it really cares. It really, really cares. That\u2019s why a giant oil spill in the Gulf? It\u2019s an opportunity! That\u2019s why a massive financial collapse? It\u2019s an opportunity &#8212; and Rahm Emanuel said so. I forget exactly how, but, &#8216;A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.\u2019 A crisis gives you an opportunity to take advantage of it to advance the things that you really want to believe that you couldn\u2019t otherwise get done. Well, the oil spill\u2019s a crisis. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> Illegal immigration and open borders is a crisis. The financial collapse is definitely a crisis. I take you back to the top of the program today: Another $200 billion called a &#8216;jobs bill\u2019 will be signed or passed next week. After the first one of 800 billion has demonstrably failed. So we\u2019re gonna do the same thing over and over again with $200 billion &#8212; and we\u2019re gonna extend unemployment benefits, by the way, through December, which is through November, which is through the election. Everything is an opportunity. Contrarily, if something positive for the country happens, that presents a problem &#8212; particularly if it happens independently of regime policy. Then that has to be lied about and revised. People have to be convinced, &#8216;No, it\u2019s really not good. It\u2019s not good.\u2019<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Director of Homeland Security, Big Sis, Janet Napolitano, said that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) &#8216;is not obligated to process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities. &#8216;ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel,\u2019 Napolitano said. &#8216;It also has the discretion to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
