BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Have you heard about this massive database? Do you remember Maxine Waters talking about this? Do you remember that, Mr. Snerdley? Maxine Waters, we wondered what in the world she was talking about some years ago. Maxine Waters let the cat out of the bag on a couple things she was talking about, and one of the things she said was that Obama's got this massive database, nobody's ever had anything like it. It's gonna be the greatest thing. No man, no party has ever had anything as massive and as thorough as the database. What the hell is she talking about?
Well, what it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Obama administration, essentially, has put together this massive database of the American people, personal data. It's a race database. It was in the New York Post yesterday. Actually, Paul Sperry, who is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute: "A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of 'racial and economic justice.'
"Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school -- all to document 'inequalities' between minorities and whites." That's what Maxine Waters was talking about when she was bragging about this.
"This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make 'disparate impact' cases against: banks that don’t make enough prime loans to minorities," Think subprime, it's back. "-- schools that suspend too many blacks." All of this stuff is being collected, cataloged, punishments are to follow. "Databases on cities that don’t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities." That's what we described last week in the fair housing or whatever it is, where they're gonna integrate neighborhoods by race and class rather than economics. Use a little economics, too. You know what this is being described as?
Here's how Mr. Sperry ends his piece in the New York Post on this yesterday. "The first black president, quite brilliantly, has built a quasi-reparations infrastructure perpetually fed by racial data that will outlast his administration." Quasi-reparations. They're chronicling every instance of what they claim is racial discrimination or inequality they can for the express purposes of using the federal government to punish the guilty, to equalize whatever they want to equalize: Neighborhoods, school districts, you name it. And of course there will be money required to equalize the inequalities. There will be money required to integrate certain neighborhoods. And that's why it's described as quasi-reparations.
The key here: "that will outlast his administration," that's something I don't think enough people are focused on, is how none of this is gonna end when Obama leaves office. I don't care who the next president is. Republican or Democrat, whoever the next president is that makes any move toward changing anything Obama's done, the infrastructure is already in place to launch salvo after salvo at this new president and his party, even after Obama's gone.
It will be unprecedented because all presidents, when they leave, that's it, good manners, propriety, tradition, class, all dictate that ex-presidents are immediately ex, and they go away, and they don't comment, especially for the first year. There have been two notable modern day violators of this, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Even today you can't find George W. Bush saying a word about what Obama's doing, I mean, not a substantive word. George H. W. Bush, ditto. Reagan didn't comment a thing about Clinton when he was able. But that's not gonna be the case with Obama or his buddies or the Democrat Party or what have you, particularly if they lose the presidency in 2016.
Snerdley said, "This stuff has to be rolled back. This stuff can't be allowed to stand." Okay, this stuff can't be allowed. I agree with you, I agree. It has to be rolled back. This stuff can't be allowed to stand. That's what common sense says should happen, needs to happen, and will happen. There isn't any evidence of it happening. I know it's the exact opposite of a colorblind society. Remember when I first categorized the left as get-even-with-'em-ism.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: From the Groveyard of Forgotten Favorite Sound Bites: February 3rd, 2013 on TV One (that's a network) Washington Watch with Roland Martin (that's a show on the network), Roland Martin was interviewing Maxine Waters, and he says (summarized), "You know, the reality is, Maxine, like anything else, you better get what you can while the president's in office, because, look, come 2017, that's it. We're gonna have a new president; Obama's out of office. So you better get what you can now," and here's what she said...
WATERS: Well, you know, I don't know, and I think some people are missing something here. The president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That's going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything, on every individual, in ways that it's never been done before.
RUSH: We were told about it. She's such a kook, nobody thought she knew what she was talking about. And even if she did know what she was talking about, she didn't specify. She just said (Waters impression), "Well, I don't know. Some people are missing something here. President's put in place an organization contains the kind of database no one's ever seen before in life." Very, very powerful. She was saying (paraphrased), "Hey, it doesn't matter! Obama's still going to be impacting events even after he leaves office 'cause this database." Now, if Maxine knew about it, a lot of people have known about it. She's the one that let the cat out of the bag. But it just means that a lot of people have known about it.

RUSH: This database that Maxine Waters warned us about two years ago, which has now been verified to exist, and this whole Iran deal, folks? These are huge, huge. The Iran deal, and the way it's all come together is... They've all just spat on the US Constitution here. For John Kerry to say it would be presumptuous to go to Congress before the UN?
I mean, John Kerry's claiming that we have to let the UN vote on the Iranian deal before Congress does 'cause it would offend the other five countries if we unilaterally took charge here over the ratification and approval of this? They're using this... They're rushing this UN vote because Obama knows it's gonna put more pressure on Congress. You see, once the UN approves it -- which has happened -- Obama can say rejecting it will put the US in violation of international law.
This is done to pressure Congress and to try to convince members of Congress there's nothing they can do now. It doesn't matter what they do, they're too late. It's already been ratified as international law. Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah. (paraphrasing) "We headed you off at the pass," Obama's saying, "and there's nothing you can do about it." Now, Kerry wasn't through. He's on Meet the Press yesterday with F. Chuck Todd, and he said that the arms and missiles were thrown in as an add-on to this nuclear agreement.
"So this [deal] focused on getting rid of the principal problem in the region, which is Iran's threat to Israel, their threat to the region, to have a nuclear capacity. We believe with this, for years into the future, we have this incredible capacity to have access, to have inspections, to hold them accountable." And then in the next breath he says that we don't. And then he went on to say that we've ended Iran's ability to get a nuclear weapon forever, which we haven't, and that the missiles were just thrown in. It's incredible. It's just over-the-top incredible.
Let me grab a phone call here before the hour ends. Joseph in Silver Spring, Maryland. Great to have you, sir. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I can't express the honor it is to speak to you after listening to you for so many years.
RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Really do.
CALLER: I just want to say that for me this whole Iran deal is not just politics; it's a life-and-death issue. I have brother, I have other family living in Israel, and we're devastated about this whole situation. And, you know, we're really, really desperate. So I just feel that to highlight the irrelevance of Congress by Obama bypassing Congress and going to the UN sort of creates like a self-fulfilling prophecy; it makes it easier for Congress to be of the hook and not have to vote against Obama.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: I would just like to say to all our fellow conservatives that we still should ratchet up the pressure and all these Chuck Schumers and Ben Cardins and Mikulskis that have been for years paying lip-service to Israel supporters. We still fully expect them to vote against this horrible quote/unquote deal.
RUSH: Boy, are you right about them. Have they gotten away with both sides of the fence on the Israel issue! The Democrats you're talking, they get to occupy both positions. First position is strong Israeli hawks. They're big supporters of Israel. But then what are they gonna do here? I mean, if they vote for this... I don't care what the UN has done, you're right. Congress is gonna vote on this thing at some point, and if these Democrats vote to effectively ratify this, then it just exposes them as frauds on their lifetime of claimed support for Israel.
CALLER: Exactly. If voting against this deprives Iran of one extra dollar, I still expect them to vote against it. I don't care what the UN does. That one extra dollar that's not gonna go to terrorist killing my family, God for bid.
RUSH: Well, they want off the hook. But it's not just them. It's not just those Democrats, but, I mean, you're right about them. But the Corker Bill... Everybody wanted off the hook on this. The fear of this administration palpable, except Donald Trump doesn't seem to be afraid. I wonder.

RUSH: Joseph in Minneapolis. You're next. It's great to have you here. Hello.
CALLER: EIB! El Rushbo, what an honor to talk to you.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.
CALLER: Thank you. I'd just like to use my 20-plus years here at the EIB Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies as well as my real-life experience to make some comments on the data mining and Julian Castro's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, if I may.
RUSH: Sure. He's talking about this massive racial database Obama's collecting on every American.
CALLER: Exactly. I'll give you an example of here in Midianapolis, Minnesocold (sic), as to how that data mining is going down. The city council here has recently looked at data and certain laws that affect -- or that they fell affect -- minorities. And two of those laws are spitting on the sidewalk, as well as loitering. They've looked at those laws and they found out that they inordinately affect minorities and that minorities are guilty of those crimes: Spitting on sidewalks and loitering. So the presumption is that there's a lot of discrimination going on and that those laws have been deemed racist. So those two laws have just been removed from our statutes here in the city of Minneapolis. Well, you might be asking, "How does that tie in with this data mining that federal government is gonna be doing in addition to the affirmatively furthering fair housing?"
RUSH: Mmm-hmm.
CALLER: Here's kind of how this works. They're looking at data that we've been told that they're going to be looking ZIP code by ZIP code. They're gonna be looking at demographic trends by ZIP code. So all they need to do now is go down and look at what state, for example, ZIP code 55408 in Minneapolis. They've looked at the demographics, they've figured out that those demographics don't meets what they have defined as "50% diverse," and from there -- with the click of a mouse -- they can just find out who's underwriting the loans in those neighborhoods. For us people here in Rio Linda in Realville they may be going further. They may look at it loan officer facilitating those loans, the Realtor broker, the property manager, or what have you. And if that doesn't meet their definition of what is "50% diverse," everybody under that is gonna be scrutinized.
RUSH: All right, now, let me interrupt you because of time. But I just want to tell you those of us listening: He is not wrong. You are not listening to someone who has a misunderstanding of what this is. He is dead-on right. Authorities in Washington can go ZIP code by ZIP code and assess things. Like you're spitting on the sidewalk. The assumption is, "The black population Minneapolis only 13%, yet most of the violations are blacks? That's gotta be discrimination!" So you just take the laws off the books because they're being unfairly applied to minorities. Just remove the law. Well, that's the spitting law. But next make it a housing law or some such thing, and you see where this is headed.
