Las Vegas Survivor Calls Rush Limbaugh, Reveals What People Are Missing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On his show Tuesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh took a call from a man who said he attended the concert in Las Vegas that became the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The caller pointed out something many people have missed when discussing the tragedy.

The caller, who was identified as “Tim in Orange County, California,” said he attended the Route 91 Harvest Festival and witnessed good people coming together, not arguing over politics.

“Hey, I just want to let you know that I was at the concert over the weekend. I was there Friday, Saturday, and on Sunday. I was on ground close to Jason Aldean near a barrier, and I saw, you know, and felt the terrifying event. I’m shaken as I talk right now,” he said, according to Limbaugh’s website.

He continued: “But what I really wanted to say was, you know, to me it was good people that were there — black, white, Hispanic, Asian, you name it, good people enjoying a great time, great music. Not one time did I see somebody wearing a Trump hat. Not one time did I see anybody wearing a Trump shirt. We were just there having a good time.”

On Sunday night, suspected gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire from his hotel window on attendees of the country music festival.

The attack resulted in at least 59 deaths and more than 500 injuries.

“You said you were there when the shooting began, and you didn’t see any Make America Great hats, there’s nobody talking about Trump, nobody talking about politics. It’s just a bunch of people enjoying the event, the music, whatever was going on. Is that pretty much right?” Limbaugh asked.

After Tim said he didn’t see any hats or shirts that said “Make America Great Again,” Limbaugh argued that not everything in life has to be political.

Tim explained that people were simply having a good time up until the tragic shooting.

“These are husbands and wives and sons and daughters and little kids at this concert that were being, you know, victimized by this maniac, but it’s not about politics,” he said.

According to Tim, the brave police officers who ran toward the gunfire without any protective gear to save innocent people were a good example of what men and women in law enforcement are really like.

“You know who was running in? Four police officers without tactical gear with their handguns and their rifles. They were running towards it. They didn’t know where the threat was, they could have been anywhere,” Tim said. “So I think people should rethink their stance, those that are anti-law enforcement.”

“And these guys were there to give their lives, and a lot of people at that concert did the same thing,” he added. “They’re just good-hearted people.”

Limbaugh asked Tim what prompted his call, and why he felt it was important to tell people that politics weren’t involved in the moments leading up to and during the tragic shooting.

“You know, the last two days have been kind of a blur, you know, and lack of sleep and just dealing with what I witnessed. But I did read a couple of articles — I don’t remember exactly where, where I had heard somebody referencing country fans, I think it was a comedian or two referencing the country fans as being Trump supporters, so in a way it wasn’t that big of a deal or we deserved it,” Tim replied.

He was possibly referring to Hayley Geftman-Gold, a CBS vice president and top senior counsel, who was fired on Monday after commenting on Facebook that she was “not even sympathetic” to the victims of the shooting because country music fans are often Republicans.

“Something to that effect. And it really, really bothered me. You know, I happen to be a Trump fan, but you know what? I love America first. It has nothing to do with politics for me, man,” Tim added.

“These are good people who did not deserve to get shot or terrorized and killed,” he added. “Simple as that.” (For more from the author of “Las Vegas Survivor Calls Rush Limbaugh, Reveals What People Are Missing” please click HERE)

Limbaugh: Still Voting for Trump; Must Defeat Clinton

/0 Comments/in , /by

Each passing day, this presidential election becomes more distasteful, but that doesn’t relieve me of my duty to do what I believe is right.

During the primaries, there were 17 GOP candidates, and I chose the one I believed would be the best for America. Now my realistic choices have been narrowed to two candidates — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton — one of whom will be the next president.

What does this mean for me? Well, some people on the right faced with this binary choice have concluded they can’t in good conscience vote for Trump, no matter how bad Clinton is. Some acknowledge that Clinton is terrible but believe that Trump could do more damage to conservatism and thus the nation in the long run — even more than a Clinton presidency at this precarious moment in our nation’s history.

I confess that I momentarily weighed all the possible scenarios, but I could never remotely convince myself that a Trump presidency would be worse for the nation than a Clinton one. I have not changed my mind despite the recent charges against Trump.

We are used to seeing Republicans beating one another up during the primaries, and the most recent three cycles — 2008, 2012 and 2016 — involved extremely vicious infighting in some cases. As a frequenter of Twitter, I have witnessed this firsthand. This year’s primary was hands down the worst, but that’s not the only way this year is different. In the previous two cycles, there was some residual discontentment, but most eventually united around the GOP nominee, notwithstanding lingering rumors that millions of evangelicals sat out the 2012 election.

The fighting among the never-Trumpers, the Trumpers and the never-Hillarys is approaching a fever pitch, with mutual accusations of abject immorality.

As the election gets closer, I see the horrors of a Clinton presidency in increasingly clearer relief. I acknowledge that this may cause me to rationalize some of my earlier distaste for some things about Trump, but I have to remember that my vote for Trump isn’t an endorsement of everything he’s done. I’m not saying I no longer have reservations about him or his policies. I do.

My decision to vote for Trump isn’t a contradiction of my position during the Clinton impeachment that character matters or that private conduct is relevant in the election of public officials. Nor am I betraying my Christian values to vote for a candidate who, in almost any scenario I can imagine, would be better for America than Clinton. People suggesting that Christians voting for Trump have sold their souls are ignoring the moral implications of not voting for Trump and thereby enabling Clinton’s destruction of our nation. Now that, my conscience wouldn’t tolerate, though I don’t judge those who disagree with me on this.

If I were voting for Trump in a vacuum, this would be different. But Clinton isn’t a vacuum. She’s more like a vulture lying in wait to end the republic as we know it. Accuse me of hyperbole or alarmism if you must, but I genuinely fear Clinton could do irreversible damage to the country. And millions agree with me.

Some say, “Look at what you are condoning if you vote for Trump.” And I say, “I’m condoning nothing, but if you want to use that metric, look at what you’re condoning if you don’t try to do everything you can to prevent another Obama-Clinton term.” Evangelicals withdrawing their support for Trump need to consider what they’re abetting by not doing everything in their power to prevent Clinton’s election. In my view, we can’t pretend we have other choices and wash our hands of responsibility by sitting this out. Nor does acknowledging that God is in control absolve us, as Christians, from doing our part.

If you want to know what we’d be in for with Clinton, consider what she’s done and how she’s wholly escaped accountability for all of it. In every respect, she is worse than the worst allegations against Trump, including the treatment of women.

Look at what happens when Democrats are in control. The Justice Department and IRS have been politicized. If recent reports about the outrage of FBI agents over Director James Comey’s refusal to indict Clinton for her email felonies are even 25 percent true, this is incredible. Clinton won’t even get a wrist slap. Consider also the Clinton Foundation corruption, as well as the WikiLeaks bombshells and the media collusion in ignoring them.

Fear a Trump presidency if you choose, but in electing Clinton, America would be ratifying her egregious misconduct, her self-serving corruption and President Obama’s agenda on steroids. It would be giving her a mandate from hell.

It’s not just about Supreme Court appointments, though more liberal activists would enable an unprecedented assault on our liberties and the Constitution. A Clinton presidency would result in more babies destroyed in the womb; more encroachments on the Second Amendment; further degradation of the military; open borders and all that entails; the continued disaster of Obamacare and possibly worse with single-payer, which has always been Clinton’s dream; higher taxes and dramatically increased regulations; ongoing economic malaise; more government dependency; continuing escalation of racial tensions; a further breakdown in law and order, with more violence in the streets and an ongoing war on cops; the acceleration of the dangerous national debt and of the insolvency of our entitlement programs; an escalation of the war on business; more demonization of the so-called wealthy; further deterioration of our vital relationship with Israel; more domestic and foreign terrorism; furt! her proliferation of the Islamic State group; the sucking of more revenue and human resources into environmental and globalist projects; a possible IRS vendetta against Clinton’s Republican and conservative opponents; nightmares from Iran; and more hostility to the energy industry, making us less energy-independent.

We’ve already seen the one-sidedness that allows Clinton to escape scrutiny and accountability, and she’s not in power. Imagine if she were. Could a Clinton presidency finally succeed in suppressing the dissent of political opponents — including through the so-called Fairness Doctrine, designed to emasculate conservative talk radio?

In short, if Clinton were to win, in all likelihood, she would consummate Obama’s crusade to fundamentally transform America into something the Framers and most of us never envisioned and couldn’t tolerate. Suffice it to say that I am not going to be shamed on moral grounds for fighting to prevent this calamity.

Limbaugh Has a Message for Republicans Who Abandoned Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh lashed out at Republicans who bowed out of supporting Donald Trump after a tape leaked Friday revealed the GOP presidential nominee saying lewd things about a married woman back in 2005.

“If you want to throw Trump overboard, you know what you ought to do? You ought to just concede the presidency to the Democrats and apologize for ever trying, and hope that they forgive you,” Limbaugh said Monday.

One of the most prominent GOP critics of Trump’s remarks has been House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). On Monday, Ryan declared that he was no longer going to defend his party’s nominee and was instead going to focus on keeping a GOP majority in Congress.

“The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities,” Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong told The New York Times.

Limbaugh’s Facebook followers agreed with his assessment and noted that other people were furious with politicians like Ryan.

“WOW! Speaker Ryan and all the other RINO’s that came out against Donald J. Trump still not going to get behind him,” MinnieMae Pearle wrote. “It doesn’t matter b/c no matter what they dish out against Donald he has won the hearts and minds of Americans, the silent majority! You have to go to their Facebook pages they all are being hammered and the wild news about it is it’s majority are women!”

Limbaugh reminded his audience that he warned a while back things would get ugly when you try to take on the political establishment, saying because they are so entrenched in their own power, they are going to do everything possible to stop someone who could take it away from them.

“I kept telling people over the weekend when people were asking my opinion on it. I said, ‘This is what it looks like when you take on the establishment. This is exactly what it looks like.’ It isn’t going to be pretty. It isn’t going to be clean. It isn’t going to be pristine,” Limbaugh said during his Monday show.

“The establishment, with everything they are invested in the establishment, remaining the establishment and in power, they’re just … not going to sit back and trust this to your votes. They’re not going to trust this to an election, to a campaign,” the radio host said. “Not going to trust it at all. They’re going to do everything they can to destroy whoever it is that wants to take control from them. And in the process, they’re going to destroy that person so as to send a message to the next guy, ‘Don’t even think about it. Don’t even try. Look what we did to Donald Trump.’”

The radio host argued that you’ll never find a person who is untarnished by his or her past, and that people in power will do anything to blow past mistakes way out of proportion.

“You’re not going to get a perfect candidate. You’re not going to get somebody who doesn’t have any smudges or doesn’t have any smears on them. You’re not going to find anybody,” Limbaugh said.

He pointed to the left’s attacks on former President George W. Bush and 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney.

“If they can turn Mitt Romney into a living, breathing devil, they can do it to anybody,” Limbaugh said. “Mitt Romney is, as I have said countless times before, one of the finest human beings, one of the finest men you will find alive today in terms of character, demeanor, manner, you name it. … If they were able to demonize Mitt Romney, and they demonized George W. Bush, they’ll be able to demonize anybody.

He also said Democrats get away with all kinds of hypocrisy, and that anyone who is perceived as on “outsider” will be considered as somebody unfit, unsuited and ill-tempered for the presidency because such a candidate runs the risk of exposing corruption.

“The purpose of last night — and it’s a failure today — was to take Trump out forever, not just his political campaign. Donald Trump the human being was to be humiliated and destroyed and rendered so humiliated and embarrassed he would never be seen in public again,” Limbaugh said.

The radio host added, “I think a whole lot of people are sick and tired of things like this determining the outcome of elections, these October Surprise kinds of things. It may not have been safe to say this back in the year 2000. It might not have been safe to say it in 2004, but a lot of ground has been covered, and there is so much hypocrisy on the left when you get to the subject matter of that open-mic tape, Access Hollywood, Trump running around there with Billy Bush.”

“The very people who applaud it and celebrated JFK, who had women trooped into the White House in droves,” he said. “Bill Clinton, you go through the list of Democrats and entertainers who have made their names on the basis of infidelity and catting around and being celebrated and protected and lauded and held up as great people. ‘Hey, that’s sex, it’s not their job. Hey, that’s just private life; it doesn’t matter to their leadership.’” (For more from the author of “Limbaugh Has a Message for Republicans Who Abandoned Trump” please click HERE)

Talk of an Assassination? Limbaugh Recalls What Clinton and Biden Said in 2008 Race

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While Democrats are busily chastising Donald Trump for calling American gun-owners to action in the upcoming election, Rush Limbaugh has uncovered a rather stunning clip of Hillary Clinton insinuating something far worse back in 2008.

The comments were made in May of that year, while Clinton was discussing her 2008 primary fight against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

Even though Clinton only trailed Obama by roughly 150 pledged delegates at that time, there were some who were saying she should have dropped out of the race and concede the nomination to Obama.

“Between my opponent and some in the media, uh, there has been this urgency to end this. You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of the June,” said Clinton.

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” Clinton added, which some people at the time took to mean the possibility of an Obama assassination made it practical for her to say in the race.

“What do you think that’s a reference to?” Limbaugh asked Tuesday. “They’re urging her to get out of the race, and Obama’s got an insurmountable lead, and she says, ‘No, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June, and it’s not even June yet! It’s May here. So somebody may be assassinated in June. So I’m staying in!

“I mean, folks, what Trump said yesterday doesn’t even compare, and I doubt that hardly anybody’s aware that Hillary even said this back in 2008. We played the audio; that’s why we got the clip,” he said.

Limbaugh pointed out that another high-profile Democrat has made a reference to people taking his guns that seems to have been forgotten.

“And, by the way, here’s one more from Vice President Bite Me (Biden). September 20th of 2008 — this is before the election — he’s out there in Castlewood, Virginia, at a campaign event and, as part of his remarks, Vice President Bite Me blurted out this,” said Limbaugh, who proceeded to play audio of Joe Biden from 2008.

“I guarantee ya, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns! So don’t buy that malarkey! Don’t buy that malarkey! They’re gonna start peddlin’ that to ya! I got two! If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem,” said an irate Joe Biden out on the campaign trail.

Biden’s comment seemed to imply a willingness to use lethal force — should the president try to take his guns — and even doubled down on his comments by expressing his proficiency with firearms.

“I like that little over-and-under, you know. I’m not bad with it. So give me a break,” said Biden, waving his hands while shouting.

“OK, now, what is that?” asked Limbaugh. “Well, all that is is a Second Amendment guy. He might have been impersonating one but that’s a Second Amendment guy saying, ‘You’re not taking my guns, dude!’”

“So he’s even alluding to the fact that if Barack Obama comes for his guns, his Beretta is coming out. So who’s Biden talking about shooting here? So you got Biden and you’ve got Hillary both talking about actually shooting somebody, or somebody being shot with guns, something that Trump did not do,” he concluded.

Rush Limbaugh Renames ‘Black Lives Matter’ Group

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh warned Monday that with the recent acquittal of another officer in the Freddy Gray case, Baltimore now has a target on its back. He warned that as Black Lives Matter continues to create a vitriolic environment, the likelihood increases of a similar attack in Baltimore like those on police in Baton Rouge, La., and Dallas, Texas.

Limbaugh took no prisoners in his description of the group, dubbing them with a new name.

“This could be a problem in Baltimore now. I’m serious,” he said. “This is the kind of thing that’s happening now that causes Black Lives Murder. You know, that’s what it’s becoming out there.”

President Barack Obama also came under heavy fire from Limbaugh, calling out his irresponsible rhetoric for putting more lives on the line.

“Because of the president’s inflammatory rhetoric — which pretty much accused the whole police force of being racist — more lives could be at risk,” he said. “During an earlier speech at Madrid, Obama said, ‘America’s police will be safer when they admit they have a problem… There are legitimate issues that have been raised, and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by these protesters.’”

Limbaugh also accused the Democrat elite for spreading a lie with the intention of causing strife.

“One of the flash points for all that’s happening now is the lie. A lie that has been known, a lie that wasn’t knowingly spread, a lie whose flames were knowingly fanned by people no less than Barack Obama and others ranking high in the Democrat Party, and that is ‘hands up, don’t shoot,” he said.

Limbaugh Explains Why Many Believe a Gorilla’s Life More Valuable Than a Boy’s

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rush Limbaugh believes he has put his finger on why many people would struggle to see that a young boy’s life is more valuable than a gorilla’s.

The conservative radio talk show host dedicated a large segment of his Tuesday program to discussing the controversy created at the Cincinnati Zoo after the staff made the decision to shoot the 400-pound gorilla, named Harambe, in order to save the boy, who had fallen into its habitat area.

Video of the incident shows Harambe both appearing to care for the boy and treating him very roughly, dragging him around the enclosure.

Limbaugh points out that the gorilla did nothing wrong: It was not his fault the young child managed to fall into the animal’s space. The boy cannot be held at fault either, so neither was to blame.

The commentator explained an unmistakable fact seen in the video is that no zookeeper was going to be able to take the boy away from the gorilla, and the longer the child stayed in the animal’s area, the more likely he would be seriously hurt or killed.

The zoo’s staff feared firing a tranquilizer dart into Harambe would likely anger the animal and take a period of time to take effect, putting the boy in even more jeopardy.

The choice, however disconcerting, was clear: put the gorilla down. Limbaugh observed that this decision should not be difficult for people to grasp, but based on the strong response online to killing the animal, it was.

The talk show host offered a reason why some people found such a moral dilemma in the choice, acknowledging it may make some “uncomfortable to hear it.”

“But in this case there are people who think that gorilla’s life mattered more. In a country with whatever million number of abortions every year, I mean, you can’t factor that out in understanding how people would have problems placing value on which life counts most here,” he said.

Limbaugh also pointed out that for many on the left, “humans are the cause of everything going wrong on earth,” from climate change to animal suffering.

“By definition, these people cannot be familiar with Genesis, and if they were, they would dissociate themselves from it,” stated Limbaugh. “They have absolutely no such training, foundation, or awareness of the primacy of humanity on planet Earth as created by God. Such a mindset does not exist with them. It’s the exact opposite. Humanity is the problem.” (For more from the author of “Limbaugh Explains Why Many Believe a Gorilla’s Life More Valuable Than a Boy’s” please click HERE)

Limbaugh Reveals ‘Dirty Trick’ Played on Cruz Televised NYC Speech [+video]

/4 Comments/in , /by

hqdefaultConservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh believes someone played a dirty trick on Sen. Ted Cruz during his address to New York City GOP members Thursday night, as it was being broadcast live on Fox News.

Cruz, along with Republican rivals Donald Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, addressed the gala banquet at an upscale hotel that Trump had renovated years ago.

Limbaugh reported while Trump and Kasich addressed the crowd, no perceptible room noise could be heard. When Cruz began his speak, the same was true.

But in a split second, part way through Cruz’s address suddenly it changed.

Limbaugh said it was so noticeable, it caught his attention while he had the speech on in the background, and he believes he surmised exactly what happened.

“So I studied it, I looked at it, and in 30 seconds I figured out what happened. They had cut Ted Cruz’s microphone at the podium and they had replaced it with what sounded like microphones at five or six tables where you heard nothing but the table noise,” the radioman said. He even went back and pin-pointed exactly the place in the speech when it happened. (Read more from “Limbaugh Reveals ‘Dirty Trick’ Played on Cruz Televised NYC Speech” HERE)

Listen: Why Limbaugh Couldn’t Keep His Eyes off Bill During Hillary’s Speech- ‘I Saw…’

/4 Comments/in , /by

As did most of his colleagues, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh dedicated much of his program on Tuesday to analysis of the Iowa caucuses held the prior evening. During one segment, the syndicated anchor discussed Hillary Clinton’s speech to supporters after eking out a razor-thin victory over rival Bernie Sanders.

Specifically, Limbaugh revealed his concern over the aged appearance of Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton.

“I saw it all,” he said. “I saw Prep[aration] H, I saw Geritol, I saw Fixodent, I saw Depends, I saw it all. I saw dripping saliva. I saw it all, folks.”

He went on to call the scene both “astounding” and “frightening” before segueing into the candidate’s performance.

“And in front of him, Hillary’s running around screeching like a bunch of seagulls that have been starved out near Alcatraz for a while,” Limbaugh said.

Clinton’s post-caucus speech earned harsh reviews from other conservative pundits, including National Review’s Jim Geraghty, who wrote that the address marked the beginning of “Hillary Collapse 2.0.” (Read more from “Listen: Why Limbaugh Couldn’t Keep His Eyes off Bill During Hillary’s Speech- ‘I Saw…'” HERE)

Limbaugh: Scott Walker the Blueprint for GOP Survival

/3 Comments/in , /by

Two days have passed and the praise for Scott Walker’s Saturday speech in Iowa continue to pour in.

On his Monday program, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh continued his praise of the Wisconsin governor, saying Walker is “the blueprint” for the Republican Party if they are “serious about beating the left.”

Limbaugh, a longtime admirer of Walker, also lashed out at the media for pushing the narrative that the potential 2016 candidate is “dull” and “colorless,” while adding that the GOP needs to “hoist” Walker on a chair “they used to take Caesar through the crowds with.”

“If you have spent any time listening to this program in the last two years, you know that I believe Scott Walker is the blueprint for the Republican Party if they are serious about beating the left Scott Walker has shown how to do it,” Limbaugh said.

“Scott Walker has the blueprint for winning and winning consistently and winning big in a blue state with conservative principles that are offered with absolutely no excuses,” Limbaugh remarked. “The left, the Democrat Party, threw everything at Scott Walker trying to destroy him. They did everything they could. He not only withstood it all, he survived and triumphed over all of it.” (Read more about Scott Walker being the only chance for GOP survival HERE)

Limbaugh: Liberals Think the Secret Service Doesn’t Want to Protect Obama Because He’s Black

/5 Comments/in , /by

RUSH: Have you heard this? A couple members of the Congressional Black Caucasians — one of them is Elijah Cummings, the other one is Emanuel Cleaver — are running around, and they are saying that their constituents (who would obviously be African-Americans) are asking them if the Secret Service is purposely letting people in the White House because Obama’s black and they don’t care as much about protecting him.

You know where that story is? That story is in the — dadelut dadelut dadelut, wait for it — the New York Times. So the crowd at Zabar’s this morning got up, read the New York Times, “Wow. Holy cow! The Secret Service might have actually let those bad guys in there ’cause Obama’s black? Really?” Unbelievable. Never mind the fact that the Reverend Jackson has run for president and had a Secret Service detail.
