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

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number one. I did not know that there are things in the United States Senate called, “Rush Limbaugh amendments.” Did you? (interruption) All right. Well, this is yesterday in Baltimore. This the National Sheriffs\u2019 Association Conference, former Senator Jim Webb (Democrat-Virginia) is speaking at the National Sheriffs\u2019 Association conference. <\/p>\n

During the Q&A an audience member says, “Senator, you voted in the past to continue funds [i.e., money] for declared sanctuary cities since March of 2008. As president…” There are rumors that Webb is seeking the Democrat nomination. “As president, would you expand on the scope of these sanctuary cities, or would you leave the influence of the states?”<\/p>\n

WEBB: The bill that we voted on, it was one of these Rush Limbaugh amendments. Basically it didn\u2019t say, y\u2019know, you\u2019re voting to continue. The motion that was voted on said, we\u2019re gonna cut off all federal help to local law enforcement inside any of these sanctuary cities. Y\u2019know, that\u2019s kind of absurd.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I still don\u2019t know what a Rush Limbaugh amendment is, after having heard that. But apparently this is a term widely used in the United States. “Eh, that\u2019s another Limbaugh amendment,” and I don\u2019t even know about them. Apparently within the halls of the US Senate, the senators live in fear of these votes on bills which actually force them to take a stand. I guess that\u2019s what it is. A Rush Limbaugh amendment must be an amendment where you have to vote on something other than to continue or to shelve. <\/line><\/p>\n

It must be an amendment of substance on which you must have a recorded vote and senators don\u2019t want to do that. So they\u2019ve named these horrible amendments, things that you have to put your name to, “Rush Limbaugh amendments.” I don\u2019t know how that started. I have no idea. This is as new to me as it is you. (interruption) What? Oh, you\u2019ve heard about this? You\u2019ve heard…? (interruption) <\/p>\n

\"large\"Oh. What did you hear him say then? What did you hear “another way”? What did you hear him say? (interruption) Mmm-hmm. (interruption) Oh, you…? (interruption) Oh, you think that Webb is saying that a Rush Limbaugh amendment is a Draconian amendment against funding illegal immigrants and it\u2019s absurd? Well, let\u2019s forget playing the sound. Here, I\u2019ll just read it to you: “The bill that we voted on, it was one of these Rush Limbaugh amendments. <\/line><\/p>\n

“Basically it didn\u2019t say, y\u2019know, you\u2019re voting to continue. The motion that was voted on said, we\u2019re gonna cut off all federal help to local law enforcement inside any of these sanctuary cities. Y\u2019know, that\u2019s kind of absurd.” So “Rush Limbaugh amendment,” you think it means budget-cutting? You think it means make government smaller, get the government out of things? That\u2019s a Rush Limbaugh amendment? (interruption) Well, I\u2019ll proudly accept the title, if that\u2019s indeed what it is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
