	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Yeah, and I'm just gonna keep all that in order.
	All right.
	Here we go, folks.
	I promised I'd be back.
	And here we are.
	Back at the comfortable confines of the EIB Southern Command.
	Rushlin bought 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program and the email address, Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
	When we were last together, on Friday of last week.
	It was Friday, right?
	You know, this is the three-day weekend, but it really seems like it's been a long, long week.
	It seems like it's been a long time since I've been here.
	I was only in LA for two days, essentially.
	Anyway, when we last were together, John Conyers had failed to muster enough legal signatures to be on the ballot to serve another term in Congress that would total 52 years.
	And I said when they appealed this, and we're going to take it to a judge.
	I said, don't sweat it, folks.
	If you're a Conyers fan in Michigan, they'll find a judge to say that he's going to be.
	I got emails.
	I was out on the golf course Friday afternoon.
	Oh.
	For you to stick to the issues, people.
	I was too under after six at Sherwood Country Club Friday afternoon after the program.
	Two under after I was playing out of my mind.
	And then I got bad advice on the seventh hole.
	And it it and I lost my momentum.
	Still shot a great score, so 82 or something, but I was I was just it was like an out-of-body experience.
	Could not do anything wrong.
	Anyway, started getting emails out there.
	You were right, you predicted it.
	Conyers, they found a judge.
	He's on the ballot.
	Right here it is.
	Just wanted to mention this to you.
	It's not a big deal in the big scheme of things, considering every other news items out there.
	I just wanted to let you know that yet another prediction made by your host came true within minutes of it being made.
	Federal judge threw John Conyers of political lifeline Friday, ordering the Michigan Democrat on to the August 5th primary ballot, because his lawsuit to overturn a Michigan election law is likely to succeed.
	And that's because it's going to be found to be unconstitutional by an obliging liberal judge, even though the states are specifically granted the right to run their own elections by the Constitution.
	They found a federal judge in John.
	Yeah, he can't tell you, I was just overloaded with people sending him.
	You were right.
	You were it didn't even take an hour.
	Okay.
	The kid in Santa Barbara.
	I love.
	Everything that has happened since utterly predictable.
	Everybody on the left has taken is taking another real human tragedy and converting it into a political issue.
	The purpose of which is to advance their political agenda.
	In this case, get rid of the second amendment and confiscate everybody's guns.
	And they're all out there in unison.
	They're trying to make the case that this is another instance where never mind that the first three deaths were by machete.
	Never mind maybe not the first three, but never mind that that the gun guns were not used for all of the deaths.
	We still got to get guns out of the hands of people.
	If you do that, this would never have happened.
	Now, I know as much about this as you do, uh, maybe less, actually, than you do.
	Because I've not been absorbed with it because I think I understand it.
	Um what could go wrong here?
	You've got an estranged mother and dad.
	The dad produces oddball movies like the Hunger Games, and as a side hobby, takes photos of nude women's bare rear ends in exotic locales around the country.
	Around yeah, you didn't know that.
	You didn't know that.
	I thought I I Why, they're an art gallery.
	This guy takes black and white for the most part, artsy photos of nude women from the rear, focusing on their butts.
	One's in front of the Taj Mahal in the pool, another, they're all over the place.
	This guy has got it, and that that's his art, the guy's father.
	Um the kid was in therapy since age eight.
	What did the kid believe?
	The young man believed that everybody was getting some.
	He believed that everybody was just having a life of pure total hedonism.
	He believed that everybody was telling the truth about all the fun they were having.
	He believed that he was missing out on everything, and that everybody he knew, everybody else, was just getting the most out of life that they could.
	They weren't really having to work very hard, everything was playtime, everything was drug sex and rock and roll, and then some more sex, and after that some more sex and throwing a little bit more rock and roll.
	And he wasn't getting any.
	And so he started blaming women, particularly blondes, and others.
	You know, I have, and I don't know that this is going to be a factor in this, and if it, even if it is, I don't know that you're ever going to be able to establish it.
	One of the things that's really bothered me, I've mentioned this before.
	One of the things that I've I've there's been a yellow flag about all this social media.
	Two things about people vomiting everything about themselves on Facebook and Twitter, MySpace, whatever it all is.
	The first thing that concerned me was people were volunteering to give away every bit of privacy they had.
	Why?
	Because they all wanted to be famous.
	They wanted, they want, it's not past.
	So many people, you particularly young people using social media want everybody to know everything about them.
	They want to be famous.
	The second thing, and this is the real problem here, the second thing is that I worried about people.
	So I th I think half the people or more on these social media sites exaggerate a bit about all the fun they're having.
	I know that when I was in high school, you know, we had a saying.
	My dad taught me this.
	I'd go home from school and I'd tell him all the guys were saying about things they did.
	This is actually a fight over homework.
	I said, Dad, I don't want to do it.
	My friends aren't doing it, they're out every night.
	Son, don't believe him.
	All these guys bragging to you about what they're doing, the fun they're having, they're not having it.
	They wish they were.
	They want you to think they are, but the people that talk about it are the ones not doing it.
	The people you need to pay attention to are the people that keep it close to the vest.
	The people that don't tell you what they're doing, the people that don't brag, they're the ones getting things done.
	That's what my dad always told me.
	And so, and I've I've I found that in in my life, he wasn't universally correct.
	I mean, there were some braggards who were actually doing it.
	But in many cases, he was right.
	And particularly when it was men bragging about sex.
	I can't say the number of guys I knew growing up that were bragging about all the sex they were having, and it was simply a dream.
	They wanted everybody to think it, but they couldn't get past first base any better than this kid could.
	And the ones who weren't talking about it were the ones that you learned later on that were the studs.
	And they weren't talking about it because of manners, self-respect, respect for uh girls involved, who knows what it, but they just I found that life lesson at what When I was young to be true.
	So I've I've thought maybe it's carried forward.
	It's a changing culture.
	It's a changing planet, changing country.
	I don't know if it's still applicable as much today as it was.
	But it used to be elementary, basic part of human nature.
	And that's why all this social media and all this bragging that was going on out there, in addition to these kids volunteering to give away all their privacy.
	I thought that one of the potential downsides was people like this kid reading about all this fun everybody's having, which they really weren't having, they were lying about it.
	And it's going to create inferiority complexes.
	It's going to create in some people's minds a misery, unhappiness.
	They read about all the fun their friends are having, they read all the fun people their age are having, and they look at their own lives and they're dull and boring by comparison.
	When in fact they're reading a bunch of people bragging about things that really aren't happening.
	Everybody's simply fantasizing, or a lot of people are.
	So I don't know if that's the case here, but I'll bet you it's a part of it.
	Has to be part of it.
	But beyond that, let's let's obviously there's a mental health issue here, which the left does not want to go anywhere near either, because it undercuts the uh the gun argument.
	But let's say everything is normal here.
	Let's say there everything happened here is up and up, and everybody in this guy's circle was doing everything they said and everything he thought, and he was the only one who wasn't.
	Look at the expectations that it what it was this kid, 22.
	Look at the expectations he had for all that would have happened to him in his life by the age of 22.
	Look what he thought was going to be normal or should be.
	Sex anytime he wanted it.
	Women loving and adoring him anytime he wanted it.
	Women draping themselves all over him anytime he wanted it.
	He had his beamers, he's gonna be the most popular kid, and he was gonna have whatever he wanted at age twenty-two.
	Whatever he wanted.
	Well, obviously things weren't normal.
	There's as I say, there's a there's a mental health issue.
	But just keep a sharp eye on the left politicizing this to try to convert this into something that can uh advance their agenda.
	And they'll probably get into the socioeconomic aspects of this too by blaming this somehow on rigid moralistic and judgmental conservatives or Tea Party types.
	Well how could they come up with that?
	Wouldn't have to come up with just say it.
	You know, just just put it out there that this kid was reacting to a puritanical judgmentalism fostered by the Bush years, you know, and so forth and so on.
	Because everything goes back to Bush.
	Well, I know the the video did leave no doubt about what uh kid was really all about, young man and so forth.
	Anyway, it captivated everybody's attention, and they they finally found the blonde.
	Blonde number one, that supposedly was responsible for getting all of this going in this young guy's head.
	She was ten.
	She was ten years old when he supposedly was rejected.
	You know what Woody Allen said about success?
	To show you how things are really they don't change.
	Woody Allen said the only thing that success means is that you get rejected by a higher class of woman.
	That's all it meant to him.
	Which I thought was classic.
	But the kid's father, an assistant director, second unit director of the hunger games.
	And we have to now point out that there's there is there is no gun control law being currently Proposed that would have stopped this shooting spree.
	There is not one law proposed that would have shopped stopped this shooting spree from taking place.
	And no, there's no law that we've on the books now that would stop him from ramming people with his cars.
	By the no, there's no law about stabbing people.
	There's no law on the books currently that would stop people from stabbing other people if they want to.
	By the way, have you have you seen any Hunger Game movies?
	Do you know what they're about?
	What do you mean vaguely?
	You don't know what they're about.
	What, Don, do you know what the Hunger Games movies are about?
	Well, how would you describe the Hunger Games movies?
	What would you say they're about?
	This is crucial.
	This is what this gad this guy's dad did.
	Teenagers killing other teenagers.
	It's a survivalist game.
	Doesn't matter why they're being forced to, but they're still doing it.
	Being forced to?
	Well, this kid might say he was forced to by societal pressure.
	Right?
	Some of them are adults, but it still involves killing.
	Why not blame Hollywood movies here?
	We can never ever go there.
	Oh, forget.
	Okay, so in the Hunger Games books and in the Hunger Games movies, there are 12 districts.
	And each district sends two contestants.
	So 23 teenagers get killed, and one survives each game.
	That's what it's about.
	I don't know how they stock the movie with stars.
	They must kill the extras.
	Somehow the stars survive.
	The first movie, two survivors are allowed to live.
	I think I fell asleep.
	I think that I think they had to keep two stars alive for the franchise.
	Anyway, that that's what the kid's father did.
	He was an assistant director's second unit director for the Hunger Game.
	Not that that matters, of course.
	And the woman's butt that he was photographing is his second wife.
	Not that any of this matters.
	We're just stalking you with uh with information so that you can decide yourself.
	Uh from Nigeria, there's news, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
	Top Nigerian military officials said today that the government knows the whereabouts of several hundred kidnapped girls, but they cannot reveal their location.
	And they cannot use force to rescue them, according to the website of the Ogun State Television Service.
	The good news for the parents of the girls is that we know where they are, but that we cannot tell you.
	Said the air marshal, Alex Bade, the government's chief of defense staff, was quoted telling a group of visitors at his office in the Capitol Abuja.
	He uh reportedly told the group, just leave us alone.
	We're working to get the girls back.
	Let's go to the audio sound bites.
	This is uh yesterday in Nigeria, and it's Nigerian chief of defense, Alex Bade speaking about the search for the girls.
	We want our girls back.
	But I can tell you, we can do it.
	But where the hell?
	Can we blow with force?
	No.
	If we blow it force, what would happen?
	So nobody should come and say the Nagira military does not know what it is doing.
	We know what we're doing.
	We can't go and kill our gun in the Nemo Pad, get them back.
	Were you able to understand that?
	Let me let me get the transcript here and I'll tell you what he said.
	Um there was crowd noise, he's outdoors.
	We want our girls back, crowd murmurs, but I can tell you we can do it.
	I admit we can do it, but where they are held, can we go with force?
	Crowd says no.
	But if we go with force, what'll happen?
	Crowd dead.
	But so nobody should come and say the Nigerian military does not know what it is doing.
	We know what we are doing.
	We can't go in and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.
	Now, the United States sent 80 uniformed personnel to Chad last week, and this Alex Bade makes no mention of them.
	And we we set a drone force, essentially a drone unit.
	One drone, we've got 40 people that operate the drone unit, and the other 40 were to provide security for the 40 doing the um the drone programming and all that.
	And they were in Chad.
	Uh So the bottom line is that the Nigerian government has told everybody that they know where the girls are, but they can't tell anybody where they are because they don't want anybody going in there with force to get them out because force won't work, and he just wants everybody to leave them alone.
	No mention of the hashtag.
	I was waiting for Alex Bade to.
	I mean, if they can't go in with a use of force, because that would not be good, could they go in showing the hashtags?
	Could they have their kidnap recovery people going in, each of them holding the hashtag, bring back our girl?
	Would that help?
	Now I think what's happening, I think we're being set up, or I think we're being prepared for a swap.
	Ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to the kidnapped Nigerian girls by Boko Haram, remember, as you digest anything new about this story, what you have to not forget, keep in mind, is that the regime, the United States regime blames the Christian Nigerian government for this.
	Mrs. Clinton, Barack Obama, the administration would not list these people as a terrorist organization, even though they are Al-Qaeda sympathizers and have wreaked Al-Qaeda type terror.
	But the regime, which has a pacifist and appeasement policy with all terrorists, it seems, wants to take the occasion to blame the Christian Nigerian government for creating this group in the first place with their oppression of non-Christians and their oppression of Islamists and their economic oppression of the population.
	So this is the modus operandi.
	It's maddening.
	It's frustrating.
	And it's wrapped up in this belief.
	And if we'll just be nice to them, we'll just show them that we mean them no harm.
	We show them that they'll just stand down.
	They'll stop being bad.
	Stop doing mean things to people.
	The people on the left really believe this.
	Well, some of them do.
	Others realize that it's simply a way to continue the whole agenda blaming America for everything in the world, which it's like, you know, the immigration.
	It was discussing affirmative action.
	I'll get back to Nigerian girls here, but something just sparked my little neuron synapses firing here in my in my plentiful gray cells.
	There's an aspect to illegal immigration that really doesn't get talked about much, but it is just as crucial to the Democrat Party as is their need for a permanent underclass.
	Now, on the surface, the Democrat Party's need for permanent underclass would seem to be economic as long as there are a never-ending growing number of people dependent on the government, then it is said and wisely believed that this translates to power for the Democrat Party.
	And if you look at polling data, you'll find that uh most of the illegal immigrants that arrive in this country are big believers in socialism and big government.
	They are not a natural constituency for the Republican Party.
	But there is a second reason why the pro-immigration forces on the left want to keep that train of illegals flowing into the country moving.
	And I don't think the Republican establishment stopped to think about this.
	If the Republican establishment is also of the same mindset on this aspect of it, then that is not I know you want to contemplate that.
	But what is the second reason?
	Well, Go back to this affirmative action.
	We were talking in this program some time ago about it, and I made mention of the fact that back in the 70s, when I was in Kansas City, I did a quasi talk show, took phone calls between records because the station was short on its commitment to the community, programming to the community in order to get the license renewed.
	So they chose me to take phone calls from the public about public local issues between records, hoping to satisfy that requirement, the FCC for license renewal.
	And one night, the subject or topic ended up being affirmative action.
	And I had a number of civil rights leaders who happened to get through that night and made a point telling me that affirmative action was never going to end.
	I would ask them, okay, at what point are you going to acknowledge that we've made amends for what you say are these past transgressions of discrimination and bigotry and whatever against minorities.
	At what point, how many, how many uh well, how much affirmative action needs to happen?
	And they said it's never going to end.
	There is no end to it.
	Because the price that you must pay for what you've done, wait a minute, I haven't done anything.
	And the people that you want to benefit from affirmative action haven't been discriminated against either.
	This all happened before you and I were born.
	Doesn't matter.
	They are the descendants, and you are a descendant.
	So you descended from those who own slaves and those who believed in it and so forth, those who acted in discrimination, and I, they said, am descended from those who were slaves and who were discriminated against.
	And so it's never going to end.
	And that's when the light bulb went off for me, that this was not about making amends in the first place.
	Affirmative action had a totally different political objective.
	And it took me a while to figure out what it was.
	But the political objective of affirmative action is simply it's it's right out in front of our face.
	It's been there all along, and it's still predominant today, and that is blame America.
	If you are a leftist socialist, you want to conquer this country, you want to get rid of every trace of the founding.
	If you want to get rid of capitalism, if you want to get rid of the whole concept of free markets, free will, what do you do?
	You have to convince as many people as possible that the country was corrupt from the very beginning.
	It was unjustly founded.
	It was founded deeply immersed in immorality and injustice and slavery and discrimination and bigotry.
	And you must continue leveling that charge.
	You must, until you have succeeded in taking over the country.
	Well, what happens when, by way of amnesty, you import a bunch of people of color who are low-skilled and uneducated.
	After they're here, you can use their existence and you can point fingers of blame at the United States and say, look at what the majority is doing to these people.
	They don't have a fair shot.
	They've come here, they sought a better life, but they're still being kept down.
	So this influx of poorly educated, uneducated, economically poor people continues or provides a continuing opportunity for the left to accuse this country of discrimination, racial and otherwise, and it provides the recipe for never-ending affirmative action.
	And once you have guilted the majority, and believe me, they have, I don't know how many people like this you know, but I know a lot of them.
	I know a lot of people who really have bought the notion that we have to make amends, that they've been pummeled with it.
	And it's not that they've bought it.
	That's the wrong way to say it.
	think there are things that we can do.
	And finally make amends and pay the price.
	One of those things was electing Obama, by the way.
	Voting for Obama was supposed to erase the notion that this nation was racist or bigoted or what have you.
	If a bunch of white people voted for a black man to be president, that alone would supposedly end any argument that this was a racist, sexist, bigoted country.
	What's happened since he was elected?
	It's gotten worse, is it not?
	By design.
	No, no, it's not maybe gotten worse.
	It is said to have gotten worse.
	Because any criticism of Obama is said to be racist.
	Any criticism of Obama is said to be discriminatory.
	And so see, the white bigots are still there no matter what the majority does to assuage its guilt, no matter what the majority does to try to make amends, agreeing with affirmative action, it never ends.
	And it's never supposed to end.
	Because for the left to fully succeed in taking over this country, affirmative action can never end.
	It must always be necessary.
	And if you are going to continue to allow via amnesty an influx of low or uneducated poor people who happen to be of color, you have an automatic, never-ending flow of examples of racism and of bigotry and of whatever ism that you want to throw out, thereby, and if you get to the young people, low information voters, they don't want to feel bad about themselves.
	They'll do whatever it takes to end that criticism, which current manifestations, let the left have what they want.
	Let them have what they want, and maybe they'll be happy.
	Just the same way we try to appease Al-Qaeda.
	Let them, you know, let's criticize Nigeria or let's criticize the let's let's blame our policy in Israel, let's blame Israel.
	Let's uh let's uh don't blame them.
	Let's appease Al Qaeda, and maybe they'll stop being terrorists.
	And maybe they won't stop being terrorists, maybe they'll stop terrorizing us.
	Well, the majority in this country happens to have the same worthless policy type approach to the to the left and this go, well, let's just, okay, let's elect a black guy and let's look what that'll say about us.
	But it doesn't say anything about us, does it?
	It's not allowed to.
	We elect the first African American president in our history, and what?
	Now the American dream is dead, the economy's in the tank.
	The U.S. military, God bless it.
	If we lose that, I I really thought a lot about this over this week in this Memorial Day weekend.
	I stopped and thought about how much I how often I literally stand up and cheer.
	Successful military engagement.
	And whenever I see it in action, not in combat, I haven't seen that.
	Whenever I but I see it, I I I say like this uh speech, commencement speech that the former SEAL team six member gave.
	McRaven, Stanley McGraven was his name.
	And it was all about SEAL SEAL team training and it was it it just made me realize that they're just the best.
	What they do is just stand up and cheer whenever they show up.
	And but now their hands are tied.
	Rules of engagement.
	In many cases, as far as the left is concerned, a U.S. military is a problem, not a solution.
	And that actually breaks my heart.
	But my point with this is we're we're being set up now with this Nigerian kidnapping.
	We're gonna what's going to happen is the next hashtag is going to be something along the lines of free the Boko Haram murderers to get our girls back.
	That's what Bade is talking about.
	I'm just, I'm just there's gonna be a swap for the girls back, they're gonna give up some Boko Haram prisoners.
	I don't know whether there's gonna be a hashtag for it.
	I was kind of making a little joke about that, but the whole notion of appeasing your enemies rather than facing them head on and dealing with them.
	We're dealing with that domestically here.
	We're dealing with it internationally in the way we deal with uh Al Qaeda and other terror groups.
	I gotta take a quick break.
	I just noticed the clock.
	Sit tight, we'll be back much more straight ahead after this.
	What do you mean was I kidding of it?
	No, I'm not kidding.
	It's the it's the it's the unspoken part of amnesty that nobody ever talks about.
	You know, everybody looks at amnesty.
	I mean, even some get this.
	This is Margaret Corion writes about this at National Review Online the other day.
	Uh there was a meeting up in the White House about amnesty, and a Biden, a former Biden staffer had to point out to Republicans look at there are a lot of Americans who are concerned about their own employment with the constant influx of illegals.
	If and these people are going to have to be listened to.
	We had somebody on Joe Biden's staff who was further to the right than the Republicans were in this meeting on amnesty.
	The Republicans are so cowed, they are so PTSD.
	They they they really believe this is so cockeyed.
	They really believe the only way they can ever win again is to get some Hispanic votes, and that the only way they can do that is to be for amnesty.
	And they don't see, okay, it's it's one thing to have the economic result of a never-ending flow of people that are going to end up being constant Democrat voters because they're going to be a new permanent underclass.
	But the other aspect of their arrival is to me just as bad.
	You you have a never-ending inflow of people of color who are uneducated, poorly educated, and don't have any money.
	You get them into the country, you have just expanded and continue to expand the number of people left out of the American dream.
	You have a whole bunch of people who are on the low end of the income gap, and that provides the left a never-ending amount of ammunition to blame America for their circumstance.
	They come here, they arrive uneducated, they arrive poor, given the left's stewardship of the country, they are not going to improve themselves.
	They're going to become wards of the state.
	They become welfare recipients.
	They become part of the Democrat underclass, which gives a Democrat, and but they that very existence allows the Democrats to blame America for their plight.
	And while they do that, then they continually demand more affirmative action to address the illegalities, inequalities, inequities, what have you.
	And it never ends.
	There is no way the United States can ever make amends.
	It's impossible.
	Because you keep importing people who are poor as they arrive and uneducated as they arrive.
	And the minute they arrive, those circumstances are blamed on America by the media, by the left, in their effort to convert this from a capitalist to a socialist country by pointing out capitalism doesn't work.
	Look at these people.
	Look at these arrivals.
	Look, they've come here seeking the American dream, they've come here seeking this, and this country is so discriminatory, so racist, and so bigoted.
	These people don't even have a chance.
	Why, if it weren't for food stamps and so forth, or who knows what Obama cared, they'd be dying.
	And the country gets the blame.
	The country has found it.
	So that's that's an unspoken aspect of amnesty that is every bit as important to the Democrats as the fact that they will have a never ending permanent underclass totally dependent on them, which means they win every election from here on after, as far as the eye can see.
