And if they end up buying the government-approved amount of healthy foods, they could win free movie tickets.  I kid you not.  They want to install talking shopping carts in grocery stores for food stamp users.  (interruption)  Well, Michelle\u2019s voice would probably be a good idea.  I don\u2019t know whose voice, but it probably would be <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=9136\">Moochelle\u2019s voice<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s a USDA suggestion. &#8220;The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is suggesting major changes to grocery stores.&#8221; I guess it would apply to the homeless, too.  I mean, the homeless are using food stamps.  It says here they want &#8220;to &#8216;nudge\u2019 Americans to purchase healthier foods when they shop. The agency commissioned an &#8216;expert panel\u2019 to make recommendations on how to guide the more than 47 million Americans on food stamps into spending their benefits on fruits and vegetables.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93483\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MIchelleObamaGroceryStore2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, of course incumbent here is the assumption that the government thinks you\u2019re too stupid to buy what\u2019s right for you. But not only that, they don\u2019t think you ought to have the freedom to get what you want.  They are going to try to coerce, i.e., nudge you into eating what they want you to eat.  By the way, this push toward eating fruits, you could end up with type 2 diabetes if you\u2019re not careful.  Do you know how much sugar is in some fruit?  &#8220;Oh, Rush, come on, it\u2019s natural.&#8221;  That doesn\u2019t matter.  It\u2019s loaded. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Vegetables, you have to cook them.  How many people are gonna go home and actually cook?  It\u2019s a losing battle.  &#8220;The group released an 80-page report this month presenting their ideas, which include talking shopping carts and a marketing strategy for grocery chains that would feature better store lighting for healthier items.&#8221;  In other words, the healthy items would be better lit, probably be brighter and a little bit more focused on them. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Initial suggestions from the USDA on how to alter the grocery environment include stores offering &#8216;SNAP-Ed cooking classes\u2019 and consultations with dieticians. &#8230; Another idea included a point-based system where food stamp recipients could receive movie tickets in exchange for healthy food purchases. Grocery store staff could also be used as &#8216;ambassadors\u2019 for the USDA\u00c2\u2019s agenda.&#8221;  That\u2019s right.  Grocery store snitches is what we\u2019re talking about.  Grocery store brownshirts disguised as ambassadors to help you. <\/p>\n<p>You people on food stamps, do you understand what this means?  Do you understand what the government thinks of you?  You are blithering idiots.  You\u2019re incapable of doing what\u2019s best for you.  You\u2019re incompetent of eating the right way.  You don\u2019t know how to spend your money.  You need ambassadors. You need talking shopping carts. You need the incentive of free movie tickets all to eat what Michelle Obama thinks you should eat. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93484\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-Obama-Stamp.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;The panel based this approach on a $999,891 government-funded study entitled &#8216;Nudging Nutrition,\u2019 arguing the research &#8216;suggests an intervention of this sort might be successful in modifying consumer shopping behavior.'&#8221;  Man, oh, man.  Here you have one of the most basic rituals of life, going to the grocery store to stock up in order to feed yourself so that you stay alive.  And your government, if you\u2019re on food stamps &#8212; and they think this of all of us &#8212; you don\u2019t know the right stuff to eat and they\u2019re gonna tell you.  They are going to have you steered in only certain directions. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>What they ought to do, if they\u2019re really serious about this, which they\u2019re not, because there\u2019s an instant solution to this, if they\u2019re really serious.  You simply disallow certain things to be purchased with food stamps.  You only allow the purchase of fruits and vegetables. You only allow the purchase of whatever it is the government wants you to eat.  Anything else, food stamps won\u2019t buy it.  But they won\u2019t do that.  And you know why they won\u2019t do that?  Because that\u2019s not the real purpose of food stamps. <\/p>\n<p>The real purpose of food stamps is vote buying.  The real purpose of food stamps is not compassion, it\u2019s not better health.  This is just the libs trying to make people think they care about them.  This is all about vote buying.  Nothing more, nothing less.  And so there won\u2019t be any restrictions.  There will just be these constant nudges and guidelines. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=9136\"><img id=\"eZObject_93475\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MichelleObamaTwitterPIXFeedKids.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#8220;Sam Kass, the executive director of Let\u00c2\u2019s Move! and senior policy advisor for nutrition policy, will not have the opportunity to speak at the School Nutrition Association\u00c2\u2019s convention in Boston this week, reports<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2014\/07\/white-house-school-nutrition-association-108874.html\"> Politico<\/a>.  According to Politico, the organization &#8212; which represents school districts in every state &#8212; denied the celebrity chef\u00c2\u2019s request to &#8216;rally the troops\u2019 on nutrition standards.  Kass attended the School Nutrition Association\u00c2\u2019s convention in Denver in 2012. However, since teaming up with Michelle Obama to push for major school meal reforms, his relationship with cafeteria professionals has greatly soured.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So basically a public school nutritionist has told Michelle Obama\u2019s food guy to take a hike. There\u2019s a lot of acrimony in this country.  Can you believe the degree to which we\u2019re divided?  We\u2019re divided over food.  We\u2019re divide over what to eat.  We\u2019re divided over who should be able to tell you what to eat.  We\u2019re divided over who\u2019s gonna pay you to buy food.  I mean, we\u2019re divided over freaking everything, and it\u2019s all because people have, for some reason, willingly surrendered self-reliance. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re just giving it up.  They\u2019ve just said, &#8220;To hell with it, I\u2019d rather be taken care of. I would rather be guided. I would rather be steered, rather than take upon the responsibility of life myself.&#8221;  And when you surrender that, when you give that power away or that liberty or freedom away, the people who want to control every aspect of your life or just the fun of it or whatever other cockeyed reason, are going to do it.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Here\u2019s Mary in Philadelphia. It\u2019s great to have you on the program.  I\u2019m glad you waited.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hello, Rush.  It\u2019s an honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thank you! I\u2019m a listener of 20-plus years, and I have to tell you that it\u2019s thrilling to talk to you. Your brain, your voice, your determination to bring the truth to light, I find all of those thrilling, and I\u2019m just so honored to talk to you.  It\u2019s wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93520\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush997.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  It\u2019s great.  I\u2019m calling because I heard you talking when I first turned the program on about this program where they\u2019re going to educate everyone about nutrition and teach them what to buy and have people to teach them how to cook and so forth.  I thought, &#8220;Well, this is very strange.&#8221;  I got a little bit distressed \u2019cause I thought, &#8220;These are the liberals, the Democrats, who started the great War on Poverty a long time ago with LBJ, and they spent all kinds of time since then tearing down everything traditional about the family: Morality, food, American values, you name it.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You got it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Now suddenly they\u2019re going to turn around and they\u2019re gonna teach everybody, and it\u2019s the old story of they tear something down and then we need the government back up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Exactly! Government breaks it first, and then the government fixes it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  What sense does that make?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I know.  It just made me a little bit&#8230; I got a little bit upset, and I turned the program off for a few minutes to finish some work here, and then I turned back on and I tried to call and I got through to Bo, and here I am.  But I mean, also these are the same people who, in the mortgage problem &#8212; I remember a story someone told on your program couple years ago. Someone wanted to get a mortgage, and the bank officers analyzed it, found out that when this person paid all their expenses at the end of the month, they would have $14 left for living expenses after paying their mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Hold your thought. I have to take a brief, obscene profit time-out and we\u2019ll come back. Mary, don\u2019t hang up.  We\u2019ll come right back and resume right at that point.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  We\u2019re back with Mary in Philadelphia.  You know, your original point here is really good.  What she\u2019s talking about, first item of the program, folks. The government wants to put talking shopping carts in grocery stores for food stamp recipients to direct them to the place where healthy food is sold in grocery stores.  Because these people can\u2019t figure that out on their own.  Now, Mary, your point is how in the world have we gotten to the point that people do not know that there\u2019s nobody in any home that knows how to tell anybody else what\u2019s good to eat and what\u2019s bad for them?  Why does this require the government?  And your answer is, it used to be that people could figure these things out for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Government came along and assumed all of these roles and responsibilities and busted up the family. And now, since they broke it, here comes a plan to fix it, which looks like compassion and looks like assistance and help and good thoughts and good vibes, when in fact it\u2019s a tantamount admission that the government screws up everything it touches.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.  And then turns into a tyrant to come and fix it.  They\u2019re gonna show you the way.  It\u2019s very distressing to see.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  These are the people, I mentioned the mortgage crisis of a few years ago where a bank mentioned they were being pressured by the government to give people mortgages they couldn\u2019t afford.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Somebody came in and when they went through this person\u2019s finances, by the end of the month, this person would have $14 for all their other expenses, rent, food, whatever.  And the bank didn\u2019t want to give the person the mortgage and they were told by the government officials, &#8220;You have to give it to them.  You can\u2019t make lifestyle choices for them.&#8221;  And I have a feeling about food that if we went back 10 years and somebody wasn\u2019t eating such healthy things or whatever, somebody from the government might say, &#8220;Well, you can\u2019t make lifestyle choices for them.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Now they\u2019re gonna come in and become tyrannical and be telling everybody what to eat.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It\u2019s like they did a 180.  They destroy it, then they come around, &#8220;Oh, we\u2019re gonna fix it now and tell you what to eat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, but what now is it that gives them the right to make lifestyle choices for people?  What is that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, yeah, I don\u2019t understand that. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93515\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareSocialism.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  It\u2019s called Obamacare.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Exactly.  It\u2019s horrifying.  It\u2019s absolutely horrifying.  Because, you know, they\u2019re gonna basically run your life, and you make the point a number of times that that was the first thing that people like Hitler wanted to do was get control, have a national health care system. Then they control every aspect of your life, they control your life basically.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And it\u2019s horrifying.  So I don\u2019t get it.  In school, I was taught in school about nutrition, then when I had my children I made it my business to give myself a refresher course about nutrition because I was in charge of these little people\u2019s lives and I wanted to make sure that they ate well.  So, you know, why is that not happening now?  What the heck\u2019s going on that people are, you know, what\u2019s going on in schools that &#8212; I learned that in school the first time.  So what are they teaching them in school?  That America is the problem, you know.  And about that subject, that America is the problem. I remember being in honor classes in high school and having some of the kids in the class start this narrative the United States was the problem.  And I\u2019ve been fighting that battle since I was a teenager with other people.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I never made the honors section.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  No, it doesn\u2019t matter what class it was.  It\u2019s just that the people were already started to say that narrative.  I thought back, when did I first encounter this, and I thought jeez, I was in high school.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You raise an interesting question. I\u2019m asking myself now when was it that I learned what the so-called bad things are to eat and the so-called good things.  I mean, parents are always saying, you know, eat your vegetables.  I didn\u2019t mind the vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I liked them.  Look, I just instinctively knew that a lifetime of Twinkies was not the answer.  Nobody had to tell me this.  (interruption)  Oh, that\u2019s right.  Oh.  Let me tell you something. Oh, I\u2019m glad you reminded me.  My mother got so mad at me one day because I left some food.  Our parents made us clean our plates.  And the reason for that, they came from the Great Depression.  Having food abundance was a genuine luxury.  We were encouraged, the healthy thing to do was to eat what was provided for you. You didn\u2019t know if you were gonna get any more the next time around or as much. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a risky thing, and our parents constantly, one of the techniques they used, &#8220;You know, there are starving children in China right now.  You clean your plate.&#8221;  And I\u2019ve always been a smart ass.  And I said to my mother, &#8220;You mean to tell me that if I eat everything on this plate, that the starving children in China are gonna rub their stomachs and go, &#8216;Wow, do I feel good and full\u2019?&#8221;  And she just laid into me.  Not physically, of course.  &#8220;Don\u2019t sass me.  You don\u2019t sass your mother.&#8221;  She was secretly proud of it, but she only told me that later on. <\/p>\n<p>But the mortgage business, it\u2019s even worse than what you described, Mary.  Those banks were under threat of government investigation if they didn\u2019t make those loans, and it was all based on the premise that it wasn\u2019t fair that some should have houses and others didn\u2019t.  The truth is, many of those loans were never intended to be repaid, except that\u2019s a little bit of news they kept from the suckers who bought the mortgages, by virtue of what you just said, 14 bucks left after paying the mortgage?  That\u2019s not enough to live on.  They were gonna float, not live and pay the mortgage, and that\u2019s what happened.  Hello, subprime crisis. <\/p>\n<p>Now, for those of you, &#8220;What do you mean, Obamacare?  What\u2019s that got to do with eating, Rush?&#8221;  It\u2019s very, very simple.  So they\u2019re telling these food stamp people, let\u2019s just pick one.  Let\u2019s say there\u2019s a 32-year-old food stamp recipient out there, and Michelle Obama\u2019s just hell-bent on this guy eating right for whatever reason. So she gives him a talking shopping cart and the shopping cart directs him to the stuff in the grocery store that doesn\u2019t taste good.  That\u2019s what they want him to eat, that\u2019s the definition from a kid\u2019s standpoint, the healthy stuff is stuff that does not taste good.  So he goes, but he doesn\u2019t buy it. He continues to use his food stamps to buy what Michelle Obama would think is junk. <\/p>\n<p>Well, the food stamp card records what he buys, and it goes into his permanent record.  And 25 years later this same guy shows up at 400 pounds and needs lap band surgery to survive.  So the Regime takes a look, &#8220;Okay, we gave this guy the chance. We gave him a talking shopping cart 30 years ago. We told him what to do to eat healthfully. He didn\u2019t listen to us. We\u2019re not gonna spend the money on his lap band.  He\u2019s on his own.&#8221;  That\u2019s how, folks, that\u2019s how Obamacare, that\u2019s how they\u2019re going to force you to behave the way they want you to, \u2019cause they\u2019re always gonna be able to dangle some benefit in front of you that they can deny you if you don\u2019t live the right way. <\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t vote the right way, if you don\u2019t whatever, there\u2019s no end to this kind of tyranny.  That\u2019s why they want control of the health care system.  Once they\u2019ve got that, they can determine every aspect of life because there\u2019s a cost component to getting well when you get sick.  Mary, great call.  I\u2019m glad you called, and I thank you so much for your nice words.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The government wants to establish talking shopping carts so that food stamp recipients will be directed to healthier foods in the grocery store.
