Time Text
And greetings, my friends, and welcome back, your erstwhile leader, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, soon to be starting year number 27, right here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We'll get to your phone calls in this hour.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address ilrushbaugh at eibnet.com.
There's a Tumblr hashtag campaign going on.
Yes, a hashtag at Tumblr.
And it's called Women Against Feminism.
And it is causing a furor on the web.
The Tumblr site features women holding handmade signs advertising their reasons for opposing feminism in its current incarnation, i.e., the feminazis.
The movement explains its position to make clear that members are focused on extreme versions of feminism, which is what feminazis are.
And they also are trying to limit the backlash they get from women, 40% of whom still consider themselves feminists.
But I think the main reason they're doing this is men.
I think these young women don't want to be thought of as man-haters.
What are you laughing at in there?
You can't possibly disagree with this.
These young millennial women do not want to be thought of as militant, angry, upset, thinking men are making life miserable for them.
They want lives with men.
They don't want to be thinking men are the problem.
They look at modern feminaziism and they're not seeing it.
This is predictable, by the way, generational change.
I don't think anti-feminism is some kind of rigid ideology, creed, religion, or doctrine, even a real ism.
I think it's just an umbrella term for people who think there's something seriously wrong with the actions of people acting in the name of feminism.
This is a quote from one of the young women.
Based on its overall actions, feminism is about socially engineering society to give special privileges to women and special punishments to men.
This is them speaking, the young women.
They don't want to punish men.
They want to live with them, at least for a day.
They look at modern feminism as angry, punishing, grievance-oriented, and they're not walking around with grievances.
And they think that modern feminazis have defined modern feminism, which they have, and they don't want any part of it.
So they've started this hashtag campaign on Tumblr, Women Against Feminism.
And they are getting hostile reactions, including hostile reactions from Lena Dunham, who was the star of, what's the name of that show on HBO, Girls?
Anyway, good.
Somebody on my staff knew it.
Thank you.
Lena Dunham is the star of girls.
And she is dismissing these women who refuse to fight against the patriarchy.
I'm telling you, folks, when it comes to these militant leftists, I don't care whether they're feminazis or whether it's the race industry, whether they're militant immigration.
I know them.
I know them like the back of my hand.
And modern feminaziism did come to life in the late 60s, early 70s with a rage and anger at all of society but predominantly powerful men.
It is why in my undeniable truths of life, number 24 was written.
Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.
It was true in 1987.
It's true today.
These women don't want any part of it.
They don't want any part of anger.
They don't want to be blaming men.
They don't look at men as the patriarchy or as the culture.
Why would they?
They've been dominating college.
There are far more women in college than there are men.
Men aren't holding these women back.
Not like the old lion feminazis think they were.
So anyway, I've got pictures of these.
This is an NRO for the people of the website, National Review Online.
Selena Durgan is an intern at National Review.
He wrote this piece.
It's a long story.
I'm not going to give you all the quotes, but there are three pictures of these women holding up their signs.
I don't need feminism.
And each of these signs explains why.
And I basically have told you why.
It's great to see.
It's really, really great to see.
I mentioned Sandra.
Oh, by the way, it's time to issue the official warning.
In a few short minutes, I'm going to be explaining the details of the story I had yesterday, intended to get to yesterday, didn't get to it, promised it today.
The time has arrived.
Vagina justice.
But it's not just that.
There is also something else I need to discuss, something I saw on primetime television.
But I am fully aware that if you have your young children listening with you, you might not want them hearing it.
I'm totally aware of that.
In fact, it may be one of the reasons I didn't get to it yesterday.
I'm not here to shock anybody, and I'm not here to offend anybody.
That's why I always give you a warning.
I'm kind of like the Israelis.
I let you know when there's incoming before it's coming.
And I give you a chance to avoid it.
And I'm doing that now.
In a few short minutes, I'm going to give you a countdown from five.
And then I'm going to start in on the stories.
And if you are still here and are upset, offended, bothered by it, it's totally your call.
And if you call anybody to complain, you will not, they will not hear you because you have been amply warned to avoid it.
You've been given plenty of chance, plenty of opportunity.
If you hang around and listen to it and then want to complain about it, it'll fall on deaf ears.
And I know you're thinking that I'm just doing this so you will not tune out, so you will stay here and listen to it.
But I'm not doing that.
If you really don't want your kids discussing this or hearing it, then you really, you don't want to tune somewhere else.
Just turn off the radio, and I'll tell you how long to turn it off and when to come back.
You remember Sandra?
I can never remember how to pronounce her name.
It's spelled fluke, but I don't think anybody wants to be called a fluke.
So I think she calls us a fluck.
It's a risk either way you pronounce it, right?
Anyway, we all know how she came upon the public consciousness.
She arrived on the scene as a Georgetown law student testifying in a mock congressional hearing as a TV ad.
It was made to look like an official hearing, but it wasn't.
Just a campaign ad.
And she was testifying about the hardships that she and other similarly aged and conditioned women faced with the high cost of birth control.
She figured that given her whatever, that it would cost her something like $3,000 a year.
And she wanted this to be part of Obamacare.
And that was the phony folk or faux ad at testifying before a supposed congressional committee.
Well, this caused us to $3,000 a month for this.
Found out it costs $9 a month over the counter.
So, whoa, how much of this is going on?
And we started raising questions.
Why in the world should this be something all the rest of us should pay for?
Particularly when if you don't want to get pregnant, there's a certain thing you just don't do.
It has consequences.
And if that's what you want to avoid.
And then I was chastened because I sounded like I was somebody who was against sex.
And I'm not against sex, but I also don't think that contraception and all that should be part of Obamacare.
Can somebody, can just one group of people accept responsibility for their lives in this country?
Cannot one group do it?
Can just one person say they're not going to feed off the public?
Can one person just stand up and say, you know what?
I'm going to live on what I provide myself.
Apparently not.
Apparently, everybody seems to want everybody else to pay for what they want.
Well, this irritated me.
And it resulted in characterizations which required an explanation and an apology.
However, Ms. Fluck is back.
The Washington Examiner, liberal darling and free birth control advocate Sandra Fluck is her own biggest donor in her state Senate race, according to official California campaign finance reports.
Sandra Fluck donated $12,000 to her own campaign and an additional $4,800 in non-monetary contributions.
While $16,800 may not sound like a lot, she also loaned her campaign an additional $100,000.
Now, where does a 2012 law school grad working as a social justice attorney begging all of us to pay for her birth control come up with $100,000 to donate to her campaign?
I think of it, where does she come up with $16,000 to donate to her campaign?
And then how does she go out and get a loan of $100,000?
The Washington Examiner called her campaign and sought answers to these questions, and they never responded.
So nobody knows.
But what is wrong with this picture?
She donates $12,000 to her campaign and $4,826.27 in non-monetary donations, which means hotel rooms and stuff like that.
Things which impute to cash value.
And then loaned her campaign $100,000.
Now, birth control costs about $10 a month.
And this woman went on a fake TV commercial begging all of us to pay for her monthly birth control because it was so expensive and it's so tough and so challenging for college students to afford.
So I'm asking the same question the Washington Examiner asks.
How does this happen?
Just asking the question.
I got a story in the mail the other day.
Somebody sent me an email.
I didn't actually find this until later on my tech blogs.
It's a New York Post story.
Smart shoes.
Do Sear Technologies has developed the first smart shoe.
They go for $100 a pair.
They look like a cross between slippers and jogging tennis shoes.
They're bright red, no laces.
And they pair up via Bluetooth with the Google Maps smartphone app.
So on your smartphone, you go to Google Maps and if you're walking somewhere, you plot the route.
And then your smartphone, Google app via Bluetooth communicates with these shoes.
And the shoes vibrate to tell you when and where to turn on your destination.
So if you need to turn left, the left side of the shoe vibrates at the street at the intersection.
You need to turn left.
If you need to turn right, the shoe vibrates on the right side.
If you need to keep going straight, it vibrates on the big toe.
And it supposedly vibrates until you get to where you're going.
It's a shoe, Mr. Sturdley.
It's a vibrating shoe.
Now, what I found interesting about this is so many people think it's cool.
The same people who tell me they wouldn't dare turn on location services on their phone because they don't want the government spying on them.
And they don't want Google knowing where they're going.
And they don't want Apple knowing where they're going.
And they don't want the NSA to know where they're going.
No way, pal.
You're not going to get me turning on that stuff.
I'm not falling prey.
Put a pair of shoes on them.
And for some reason, it's all different.
Put a pair of shoes on, and location services are great.
NSA can't track shoes.
NSA is not going to worry about tracking shoes.
Well, they're not tracking shoes.
They're going to be tracking the Google map that has your destination mapped out, the walking directions, and they're going to know where you are step by step.
What amazes me is that people think nothing about it when the shoe is the medium, when the phone is the one that's logging the location, they panic and say, no way, no how.
When it's a pair of shoes, man, this is cool.
It's a great invention.
It's a female thing, by the way.
These shoes are for women.
I should, well, you know any more I don't know.
Given the modern day liberal guy, i.e. pajama boy, these things might well be for men, too.
I really don't know.
Now, the company that's doing this, Do Sear, they started in 2011 by two Indian engineers who had studied and worked in America.
They've grown to 50 employees in the city of Secunderabad.
Crispian Lawrence, co-founder, chief executive officer.
Yeah, the shoes are a natural extension of the human body.
You leave your house without your watch, without your wristband, but you will never leave your house without your shoes.
And your phone connects to your shoes and tells you exactly where you're going.
This is pretty cool.
This is pretty cool.
You let the same thing be on a cell phone and it's an abject, you're not fooling me.
I'm not going to stick my location in there so many people can put the shoes.
I don't know.
It's just human nature.
It's fascinating.
I wouldn't be caught wearing them.
Don't misunderstand.
don't walk far enough to need a map to tell me where I'm going.
So it's not a...
The CEO of Ducere says that his shoes were originally designed for the blind.
That was the original idea for them.
Okay, time now for vagina justice.
And as such, it's time for you.
If you don't want your children or anybody else, if you don't want to be, I don't know, offended, if you'd just rather not hear these kinds of things discussed.
I'm going to count down from five and then you're going to be gone.
And then when 2.30 Eastern, 1.30 Central, 1230 Mountain, 1130 Pacific hits, you turn the radio back on.
Don't change stations.
Just turn it off.
Five.
Four.
Three.
You got three seconds here to decide.
Two.
One.
If you're still here, it's on you.
It's an AP story.
Thousands of women whose genitals might have been photographed during gynecological exams can share a $190 million settlement from Johns Hopkins Health System, but they'll have to describe their trauma before seeing any money, which might be painful.
These are women profoundly violated by Dr. Nikita Levy, who committed suicide February 2013 after being caught with hundreds of pelvis pictures.
Others who've gotten over their shock in the year and a half since then might wonder if it's worth their trouble to revive it.
Still other patients who didn't recall any exam room trauma might try to collect anyway.
One woman who contacted the AP seeking to join the class action couldn't even remember the doctor, but says she's going to try for the loot anyway.
I could have been a victim.
And if I was, that doctor should pay for what he did.
And the hospital should have been more aware of what he was going and doing at the facility.
The AP does not usually identify possible victims of sex crimes.
8,000 women may join the class action.
Vagina justice.
So I see this story.
I wasn't even going to mention it until Catherine and I have been watching this summer TV show on NBC called Night Shift.
It's Gray's anatomy with some, it's a little higher paced.
It's a little more irreverent, but it's a Gray's anatomy on steroids.
Episode five or episode six or eight of them, episode five or six, takes place in San Antonio Hospital night shift.
Massive tornado thunderstorm caused a massive car accident.
One of the doctor's wives is pregnant, very near birth, with her other daughter in the car.
He learns that they are in the accident and the little daughter calls, barely getting a cell connection saying, mommy, is mommy's going to give birth?
Oh my God, what do I do?
I don't know.
And they send out a team, but they can't find it.
It's a big wreck.
So the little girl has to deliver the baby.
The father of the little girl.
I really hope you turned your radio off.
The father of, this is prime time.
It's like 9 o'clock at night.
NBC, the father of a little girl says, honey, what I want you to do.
I can't believe this.
I want you to spread your mom's vagina really far, and you've got to get in there, and you've got.
And then he delivered the instructions and so forth.
And the little girl thought nothing of it and did it.
Okay, Dad, now what?
And the instructions kept coming, and I was.
Jeff Sessions, I'm sure sometimes feels like he's all alone.
Great senator from Alabama.
He looks at what's happening on the southern border, and he can't believe it.
He hears what President Obama says and combines that with what he sees happening.
He can't believe it.
He can't believe that there's nobody where he works in the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives trying to do anything to stop this.
So he decided that he was going to do so.
Jeff Sessions yesterday afternoon on the floor of the Senate spoke about President Obama and immigration reform, and we have one, two, three, we have four.
Soundbites.
The president is preparing to assume for himself the absolute power to set immigration law in America.
Well, I'll just enforce what I wish to enforce.
The absolute power to determine who may enter and who may work, no matter what the law says, by the millions.
Our response now is of great import.
It will define the scope of executive and congressional powers for years to come.
Sessions then said that if Obama is allowed to do this, the moral authority for any border enforcement will forever be eviscerated.
If President Obama is not stopped in this action and he exceeds his powers by attempting to execute such a massive amnesty contrary to law, the moral authority for any immigration enforcement henceforth will be eviscerated.
Anyone the world over will get the message.
Get into America by any method you can and you will never have to leave.
We're almost there, but it's not too late.
And then he issued a warning.
So let me state a warning.
The American people are being roused to action.
And once activated, their power will be felt.
They will not be mocked.
They have begged and pleaded for our nation's immigration laws to be enforced for 30 or 40 years.
The politicians have refused, refused, refused, refused.
There's one thing the powers in Washington fear, that is being voted out of office.
Before a member of Congress acquiesces to any action of this kind, they should consider their responsibility to their constituents.
And then he did something that few in Washington have the courage to do.
Mr. President, you work for the American people.
They don't work for you, and they will not accept nullification of their law passed by their elected representatives.
I'm calling on all members of Congress today to stand up to these lawless actions and sponsor legislation that will block them.
I'm calling on every person in this body and in this House and in the House of Representatives to stand and be counted at this perilous hour.
Folks, I have to tell you, it's both appalling and astonishing that it has really come down to this.
A United States senator has to practically beg his fellow congressmen and countrymen to do something to stop these upcoming extra-constitutional executive orders, which, and he's right, they will effectively overturn what is left of our immigration law.
Now, the drive-by media ignored the speech totally.
They don't want the American public to riled up and kill amnesty like they've done so many other times in the past, but they're not going to be able to stop it because Sessions also asked for the phone lines in Washington to be melted.
Now, granted, it's near congressional recess time when they're all going to be leaving town, but not quite yet.
And the phones in Washington did indeed melt yesterday, despite the fact that drive-bys did not cover this.
There's so much going on that it's hard for anybody to focus on any one single thing.
The chaos, the deterioration, the disaster.
The disasters are numerous that here you have a United States senator, the only one standing up in opposition to this.
The erasure of the southern border, for all intents and purposes.
When is this going to stop?
With a stroke of his pen, he authorizes five or six million with amnesty.
Meanwhile, the trains keep coming from Central America.
And there's no end in sight to that.
None.
And nobody's talking about ending it.
Some are obsessed with immigration reform, comprehensive or otherwise.
But I mean, it's just astounding.
I mean, the story on this from the Associated Press, Obama Mull's large-scale move on immigration.
He's going to expand the deferred action for childhood arrivals to include adults, which we predicted, by the way.
What he's going to do, it's been obvious from day one.
You can't have these kids arriving here unaccompanied.
Well, you can't have them arrive here without their parents.
At some point, we're going to have to track down their parents and bring them here.
That's the only humane thing to do.
We must unite these children with their parents.
So we'll find them.
We'll fly them up here.
Democrat voter registration effort, further pressure on the welfare system, whatever it is.
None of it's any good.
I don't care how cloaked in compassion you happen to be.
We can be as compassionate as you want, but compassion does not require us to commit suicide as a nation.
How many of you remember that we shut down immigration from 1924, 25 to 1965?
There was none.
Zip Zero Nada.
Every time I mention that, people are stunned.
They think immigration is something that happens all year, every year, throughout the year.
1925, 1960, 40 years, we suspended legal immigration.
You know why?
So that the people that came here post-Civil War up to post-World War I could assimilate and become Americans, learn our holidays, learn English, and become part of the American fabric and culture, which, by the way, they wanted to do.
That's not even a component anymore.
Talk about assimilation.
You get laughed out of the room.
Who are we to make people want to live like us?
Well, it's our country.
What gives us the right to tell people they have to live like we do?
That's the cat call from the left.
These people have their own culture.
Why can't they set it up here?
Who are we to tell them how?
And that's the justification for this.
And running throughout all of it is America has been to blame and must pay the price for all of our aggressive transgressions over all of these decades.
And we will be right back.
Here is Sean in Colleen, Texas.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Rush, it's great to talk to you.
How are you today?
Good.
Thank you very much.
How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty good, thanks.
I wanted to bring something to light I think a lot of people have forgotten about.
Well, one, I don't know why John Kerry has any credibility whatsoever, considering the fact that he at one point in time said that you either go to college or you go to Iraq, basically insinuating that the American service member is ignorant or uneducated.
You are exactly right.
In fact, Kerry said a bunch of things, but that one, that's a good catch.
He was doing a commencement speech someplace, or he was speaking at some school.
I think it was in Oakland, California, somewhere in Northern California.
And he did say exactly what Sean said.
Now, the belief is rooted, and I've never understood this.
The left tries to impugn service members by saying, well, the military is the only hope they have of getting an education, finding a job.
Because when Bush was president, everything was so rotten.
The military was the only option they had.
If it weren't for that, they'd have never joined.
It was a way of attacking Bush and the Bush economy, but it impugned the military.
And he did say, hey, get an education.
Don't be stupid.
Get an education or go to Iraq.
Thereby insulting everybody that had volunteered to defend this country.
He's also the guy that automatically believed our terrorists in Iraq, Marines were terrorists and rapists and so forth.
He's now Secretary of State.
He's a buffoon, clear and present.
Sadly, my friends, we've come to the end of today's excursion into broadcast excellence, but we'll be back.
Back tomorrow, do it all over again, fully revved and ready.
And as always, really appreciate you being here.
And I know you love being here, so it works out great.
