RUSH: The Weekly Standard has a piece in it that, very, very rarely has this ever happened to me. In fact, I can’t ever remember it happening. I’m sure it has, ’cause it’s been 27 years I’ve been doing this. The headline of this — and it’s not a hit piece. It’s not a criticism. The headline’s gonna mislead you. The headline is: “No, Ted Cruz Did Not Invent the Term ‘Undocumented Democrat.'”
Apparently Senator Cruz has been running around, after this spat with Marco Rubio on immigration and amnesty and legalization, Cruz has been using the term “undocumented Democrat” instead of “illegal alien” as a means of demonstrating what the Democrats’ interest in this whole thing is. So, now that you know that, here’s the Weekly Standard story.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Weekly Standard has a piece in it that very,
very rarely has this ever happened to me? In fact,
I can't ever remember it happening. I'm sure it has,
because it's been twenty seven years I've been doing this.
The headline of this and it's not a hit piece,
it's not a criticism, it's it's it's the headline is
(00:21):
going to mislead you. The headline is no, Ted Cruz
did not invent the term undocumented democrat. Apparently, Senator Cruz
has been running around after this spat with Marco Rubio
on immigration and amnesty and legalization, Cruz has been using
the term undocumented democrat instead of illegal alien as a
(00:45):
means of demonstrating what the Democrat's interest in this whole
thing is. So now that you know that, here's the
Weekly Standard story. Consider in his current quest to out
Trump Trump, Ted Cruz has begun referring to illegal immigrants
is undocumented Democrats. This is hardly original. The phrase has
(01:09):
been a staple of the Rush Limbaugh program for at
least five years, and the joke also migrated from the
Limball Show to a j Leno monologue in two thousand
thirteen as well. If there's any story here, it's the
cruise is making a strategic decision to appeal to ditto
(01:32):
heads by lifting Russia's language. That is significant in so
far as why a Limball has not endorsed Trump. He
has tended to be very very friendly towards the estate
mogul on his radio show. Okay, so, perhaps it's too
much to ask for the New York Times and NPR
reporters to listen to Rush regularly, though, given that he
(01:56):
remains a singular figure on the right, it would certainly
bolster their reporting if they tuned in at least every
now and again. But this is a revealing episode in
that it shows how little many in the mainstream media
really understand about the American right. This is not an
example of journalists consciously skewing a story. Instead, these two reporters,
(02:20):
two of the most prestigious news organizations in the US,
were simply unaware of the term because they know that
nothing of limbo. Well. Here, what's happening is that Cruise
has been crucified. The media can't believe that crews would
actually call them undocumented democrats. There's nothing there, and they're
illegal aliens. They're brilliant people, their acts of love or
(02:41):
whatever they are. And the Weekly Standard guy's point is,
wait a minute, you idiot reporters, do you not know
that this term has been floating around for five years
and it cruises lifting it And that's not a criticism.
This guy's criticism is of the reporter's upset a cruise
because they are blind, they willingly ignore the news and
(03:04):
the happenings, the thoughts, the fears, all of that of
over half the people in this country i e. The
American right. So again, Weekly Standard story, This isn't an
example of journalists conconsciously skewing story. Rather, these two reporters
at two of the most prestigious news organizations were simply
(03:26):
unaware of the term because they know nothing of limball,
a massive success whose ratings are roughly on par with
Morning Edition, Nor apparently do they know much about googling.
Had either reporters simply searched a term undocumented Democrat, they
would have seen that Crews did not invent it. Indeed,
(03:48):
Iowa Congressman Steve King, who has endorsed Cruz, used the
term in an interview this spring. And by the way,
when Cruz takes it a step further and starts using it,
referring it to anchor Democrats. Oh that's been out there
before too. That's awesome. I mentioned this to you because
it is I'm not aware of having been credited. You know,
(04:11):
gorb asm inventedete word feminazi invented at work now part
of the American Alexicon. Well, yes, yes, yes, in some
in some corners and in some bedrooms, I do get
credit for the term feminazi. You're right, but that that's
(04:31):
not it's I wouldn't say credit, Mr Snerdley. It's more
like blame. I mean, they they don't say that happily.
They day don't day, don't day, don't like the term.
But GORBSM that was that was one of the early
(04:53):
inventions or creations here. Ah. And of course it corrects
the drive bys before I even have the chance to
or even the inclination to. But I'll tell you what
it is. It's it's a it's a subtle move by
Cruise because it is the exist it's it's the only
(05:15):
reason that the Democrats support this. It's not compassion, it's
not humanitarianism, it's none of that. I'll say it again.
The Democrat Party requires a dependent and permanent underclass. Now,
(05:36):
people in that underclass can improve and move out of it,
but they need to be replaced. The Democrat Party cannot
survive if the population as a whole improves itself economically
to the point of not being dependent on government. If
that were to ever happen, to be the end of
the Democrat Party as we know it today. So they
need a permanent underclass. They need permanent poor people, uneducated people,
(06:00):
and and the greater challenge speaking English, the better, the
more dependent, the less educated, the less worldly, the better.
Doesn't matter what the impact on the country is. All
that matters is keeping Democrats in power. Because the Democrats, no,
they're never gonna live where these people live, so they're
never going to be affected by this in their own thinking,
(06:21):
in their own minds. They're never gonna live in barrios.
They are going to live in in ghettos. They're never
gonna live in inner cities. They are going to live
where these people that they bring in the country gonna
end up being. And they're not going to hire them,
not gonna be around them at all. That's for the
rest of us to deal with. They're gonna be insulated.
But they need that permanent underclass. That's why I proposed. Hey, look,
(06:41):
I will support amnesty, I will join the Democrats. I
will join I will change. In fact, I promised to
do this. I promised to guarantee a shift in support
among my listeners sizeable number. If Amnesty had a lasting
provision in it that no recipient of Amnesty could vote
(07:03):
for twenty five years, call it a poison pill. I
wasn't doing any other than illustrating the truth. You put
in a provision that the new newly amnutized for lack
of it, I can't vote for years, and bingo Democrats
stop caring about them. There's no compassion, there's no humanitarianism.
(07:27):
Not one person, Republican or Democrat ever called me on that.
And let me tell you something. If I were at
any day in the future to announce that I've changed
my mind and now support comprehensive immigration reform and a
(07:49):
path the citizenship with no provisals, They'll be all over me.
They'll be they'll call, they'll ask me to join them
doing things here. They will celebrate all of a sudden,
I'd become one of greatest guys in the country. But
when I threw in the requirement they can't vote for
twenty five years, I was universally totally ignored by everybody, Democratic, Republican, independent, communist, fascist, socialist,
(08:10):
you name it. I didn't hear from one jan in
New Jersey suburb. You're next. We head back to the phone. Hello,
hi us, How are you good? Thank you. I'm a
little nervous about being on here. Um, I do work
for the government, so um, that's okay, no problem, okay.
So I just want to talk about the immigration problem
(08:31):
that we have that has gotten a lot worse over
I would say since the summer before, since last summer.
And we're vaccinating so many, so many people that don't
speak English. We're seeing tons and tons and tons of kids.
We're seeing diseases that we haven't seen in decades, and
(08:52):
I feel like nobody's talking about it. And in my opinion,
watching this happen, watching the number US go up of
of people coming into the country, I don't see how
any Republican will win because they leave us they have
driver's license, and I believe it, don't vote. I mean hopefully,
(09:15):
I'm jaded, but I don't think so. Um, it's it's
a real, real, real you're you're you're not no, you're
not jaded, You're you're you're, you're, you're exactly right about
a great possibility that's out there. Uh, there's there's there's
no question. This is something that I want to plan
(09:37):
on getting into greater detail I get back in the
next year, because, uh, it's outside the political norms, it's
outside polling data, it's outside every bit of analysis people
use to determine who we're talking about fraud. Essentially, we're
talking about, uh steps Democrats, will they get people to vote?
Are not legally able to and and still we'll be
(09:59):
allowed to so forth. Anyway, jan I appreciate
