| Hey, I got an idea. | |
| I got an idea. | |
| Let's legalize pot for college students that are not smart enough to be granted free speech. | |
| How about we do that? | |
| Oh, wait. | |
| We already have. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| You know, uh folks. | |
| My trusted and loyal staff told me they think the show today is pretty good. | |
| Not the best, not even close to the best. | |
| But it's it's it's it's okay, it's good enough. | |
| And they say, you know, that really you're you're you're doing quite well considering there's no news. | |
| There's nothing really happening out there, and uh you're better at anybody I know of uh taking a slow news day and making it sound like something. | |
| I said, slow news day. | |
| Slow, yeah, I was putting together under my stack, I couldn't find anything in it but the Wall Street Journal NBC poll, and they're even lying about that, so man, I didn't know what you were gonna do today. | |
| Well this may be the perfect time to revive the story about the war going on between the feminazis and the trannies. | |
| So I th I think I'll I'll do that. | |
| But before I get to that, uh I was just watching, in fact, they're still doing it. | |
| CNN. | |
| Please don't turn to watch it. | |
| You don't need to. | |
| I'm gonna tell you what happened. | |
| CNN thinks they've got a scoop. | |
| They just they just got a video showing Hamas making a bomb in one of their own neighborhoods. | |
| Yeah, really. | |
| I'm not kidding. | |
| I'm not it's it's it's well, I think they're probably figuring the Israelis are going to find out. | |
| Uh well, I don't know if they'll apologize for showing it. | |
| Uh when Hamas bitches, they might. | |
| But honest to God, they are they they think they're on to something that nobody knew here. | |
| And it just goes to show that the the really narrow and closed world these people live in. | |
| You know, they believe all of the conventional wisdom or the propaganda, whatever it is that Israel is the only bad guy. | |
| And why? | |
| Because Israel's the majority. | |
| Israel's powerful Israel's free Israel. | |
| So they gotta be the bad guy. | |
| Hamas, poor little little be living in Gaza strip, poverty stricken and disease ravaging, and just poor little victims, and here comes mean big bad Israel just slacking them and killing them. | |
| And then they hear all this talk, they hear don't wait. | |
| Don't you know that Hamas is stocking schools with rockets and missiles and launching them from hospitals? | |
| And and they hear you say that, and they they just reject it. | |
| No, no, no, it's not possible. | |
| Hamas, they couldn't be doing that. | |
| They don't have the and then they get a video that shows it. | |
| And uh breaking news or or what have you, as though they're onto something that nobody knew, when in fact everybody with half a brain has known it for years. | |
| To me, it's just another illustration of the utter hopelessness of the media to ever not not just play fair or whatever, just to get anything right is a isn't a long-lost objective now. | |
| Anyway, here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800 282-288-2 in the email address L Rushboard EIB net.com. | |
| Shortly after this program began. | |
| What? | |
| No, no, that's true. | |
| It's true. | |
| I I it is true to say, each day I probably do choose the path of the most resistance when doing this. | |
| Some people choose the path of the least resistance. | |
| I aim this program at the most resistant. | |
| I do not even by design to standing up for what's right takes you down the path of most resistance. | |
| That's where this program goes each and every day. | |
| Anyway, shortly after this program began in uh August of 1988, uh something happened. | |
| I forget what it was, but there was a there was a rash of highway accidents, and there was a lot of concern over uh people driving in ways that uh distracted them. | |
| So I came up with a solution. | |
| And the solution was to get women to stop farting in their cars while they're driving. | |
| And this caused an absolute outrage down the affiliate line, our affiliate in Chicago, WLS, never Tom Tradup was the uh the program director, the general manager. | |
| And it back in those days, they still weren't sure. | |
| Not just LS, but that they still weren't sure that syndicated programming was the answer. | |
| What I was trying to do had never worked in the daytime. | |
| It had always failed, both in ratings and and in financial terms. | |
| And so there was, and I knew this, there was uh a very thin line that I was on, and it didn't take much to veer off that line. | |
| And if I gave any ammunition to people who really didn't want to carry this program, they would take it. | |
| That's and that's not a criticism of them. | |
| It's just the lay of the land as it was back in in 1988 when the program started. | |
| I don't want to get too inside baseball, but but back then, this the belief was that radio to succeed had to be local, local, local. | |
| You had to have local hosts, you had to have local phone numbers, you had local issues, or you didn't have a prayer. | |
| Television was national, but radio, no, no, no, no, would never work. | |
| Oh, yeah, and you had to have guests. | |
| If you're gonna do a talk show, you have to have guests. | |
| What do you think you're doing? | |
| That I faced that even when I was in Sacramento, but I didn't want to do guests because everybody else did. | |
| Anyway, so when I suggested that women stop farting in their cars, I got canceled on the spot at WLS in Chicago. | |
| They called and said, all right, that's it. | |
| That's it. | |
| We've been able to look the other way at some of the stuff up to now, but that's it. | |
| No more. | |
| And they canceled me. | |
| Now they can't cancellation lasted 45 minutes. | |
| Because I then explained that the word was FARD, F-A-R-D, and it's French, and it means to apply makeup. | |
| So don't misunderstand, I love Tom Tradup. | |
| Tom Tradep's one of the best radio people that I've ever encountered in my entire career. | |
| It was just the lay of the land then. | |
| The suspicion and uncertainty about whether a program like this, a nationally syndicated program, wasn't me, it was just that it was nationally syndicated, whether it could work or not. | |
| So after explaining, and and there, by the way, I had phone calls. | |
| What do you mean? | |
| Women farting in their car. | |
| How do you know? | |
| I said, well, you can see it. | |
| You can see it. | |
| Yeah, I've seen it. | |
| I can't tell you how many times. | |
| Well, do men do it? | |
| No. | |
| I have yet to see a man do it. | |
| Well, of course, that was just driving everybody crazy because they didn't stop to think, and why would they? | |
| That was the joke, that I was uttering the word FARD. | |
| The point here is how things have changed. | |
| Now, if I were to say F-A-R-T-I-N-G, it wouldn't be a big deal. | |
| No program director would want to cancel me. | |
| Nobody raise an eyebrow. | |
| Now it's been 26 years, obviously, and things change over 26 years, but I've got a story here that in no way would I have touched 26 years ago. | |
| Now, because of the way I was raised, my manners and my sense of propriety and decency, I even am reluctant to mention it now. | |
| I really don't want to touch this now, but I'm also Aware that the vast majority of people are not going to have any problem with it, and in fact, they'll be laughing themselves silly. | |
| So, here goes. | |
| And to prove my point, it ran on ABC News. | |
| Police say a woman crashed her car while shaving her privates. | |
| Well, this is also dangerous as farting in your car when you're driving. | |
| This could be just as potentially dangerous, shaving your privates as farting when you're driving. | |
| The 37-year-old Megan Barnes catapulted to instant fame for an alleged mashup that earned the bottle blonde's mug shot a spot on hundreds of websites. | |
| According to a startled Florida Highway Patrol trooper, 37-year-old Megan Barnes was shaving her bikini area while driving south on the famed overseas highway when she crashed into the rear of an SUV back on March the 2nd. | |
| In the police report obtained by ABC News, the trim job was apparently essential because the arresting officer and trooper Gary Dunnock said that the Indiana native Megan Barnes told him she was heading to Key West to visit her boyfriend. | |
| She said she was meeting her boyfriend at Key West. | |
| She wanted to be ready for the visit, so she was shaving the bikini area in a car while driving on the way to meet the boyfriend. | |
| And it gets weirder. | |
| In order to pay full attention to her sensitive regions, police say that Melanie Barnes or Megan Barnes enlisted her ex-husband who was riding shotgun to hold the steering wheel while she shaved. | |
| So this woman is on the way to Key West to meet her boyfriend, her ex-husband riding shotgun. | |
| She decides she's got to shave her private. | |
| She asks the ex-husband riding shotgun to hold the steering wheel. | |
| And that's what happened. | |
| And it all went bad when an SUV driving in front of them slowed down to turn. | |
| Megan Barnes, 1995 Thunderbird smashed into it. | |
| Two of the passengers in the SUV suffered minor injuries. | |
| Barnes shouldn't have been driving that Thunderbird since she'd been convicted the previous day of driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license, but she was still out there driving and shaving while the ex-husband was holding the wheel. | |
| According to the arrest report, it was the sixth time her license had been suspended. | |
| What details are we missing that she should have had one of the kids on the pedals? | |
| Oh, what happened when she crashed? | |
| Was she shaving? | |
| What did she well? | |
| Uh let's see. | |
| After the accident, Barnes and Judy, who's Judy? | |
| Oh, Charles Judy, the ex-husband. | |
| Judy the last name. | |
| After the accident, Barnes and the ex-husband drove off. | |
| The Thunderbird limped a few hundred yards before the couple switched seats. | |
| She jumps in the back seat. | |
| He moves over. | |
| It was like the old comedy bit, Who's on First? | |
| But the attempt to claim that the ex-husband and not Barnes was driving was doomed because Judy had visible burns on his chest that he claimed came from an exploding airbag, but only the passenger side airbag deployed. | |
| So anyway, Barnes was charged with driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, and driving with no insurance. | |
| The ex-husband was not charged. | |
| According to the arrest affidavit, the trooper asked her afterward why she didn't hit the brakes when she saw the SUV, and she said, I told you I was shaving. | |
| The trooper said, if I wasn't there, I would not have believed it. | |
| And from that story, what? | |
| Did what? | |
| Oh, I have big razor gonna get involved. | |
| Well, I we do not I uh you think a warning label is called for here? | |
| Do not Do not shave your uh bikini area while driving. | |
| Could well be. | |
| Trial lawyers get on this, you never know. | |
| But from that story, we now move to the next story from the New Yorker called What is a Woman. | |
| And this story is about the the literal war that is going on between radical feminazis and transgenderism. | |
| As transgender rights gain acceptance, radical feminazis are seeing their point of view shunned. | |
| In other words, radical feminazis seem to be losing political ground to the transgenders. | |
| And the radical feminazis are not happy. | |
| The hardcore feminazis are not happening. | |
| This is an eight-page story. | |
| If you think you've lost touch with your country, this is an eight-page story in The New Yorker about a war between radical feminazis and transgenders over political power, and don't worry, I'm not going to treat you to all eight pages of it. | |
| You know, I gotta say, this Russian crime gang, one and a half billion passwords and connected emails, that's impressive even by NSA standards. | |
| That is huge, folks. | |
| 420,000 websites. | |
| If we were talking about dollars, nobody would think it's any big deal, government dollars. | |
| But you put it in the context of one and a half billion passwords. | |
| How many people on the planet are there who have internet? | |
| What's the percentage of the population on earth that does not have internet? | |
| I saw that the other day. | |
| I just don't recall it. | |
| This is huge. | |
| The NSA probably trying to get hold of these guys and asking if they can buy the database would save them a lot of time. | |
| Here's Nash in Stratford, Connecticut, as we head back to the phones. | |
| Hello. | |
| Hey, Russ. | |
| First off, uh happy 26th anniversary, mega megadiddos. | |
| I've been listening for 22 years. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| You uh I want to credit you for actually my rebellious team you bringing my family together because you were the one thing that I found we could talk about and you displayed for us that politics was something we all shared. | |
| So no matter how crazy I got, I was still a conservative. | |
| So um I'm I've been dying all week to hear you actually talk about this story. | |
| Uh but I haven't heard you actually illustrate it yet. | |
| Yeah, just been uh just now waded into the shallow end of the pool. | |
| Well, um are you speaking about the TERFs by any chance? | |
| They're a radical wing of the Defense Party that believes. | |
| While I've got you here, let's explore the story together. | |
| All right, let me it's it's in the New Yorker, and here's how it starts. | |
| And I'll read just enough that this will answer whether or not this is um about what you're interested in. | |
| On May 24th, a few dozen people gathered in a conference room at the Central Library at the century-old Georgian revival building in downtown Portland for an event called Rad Femmes Respond. | |
| Radical Feminazis Respond. | |
| The conference had been convened by a group that wanted to defend two positions that have made radical feminazism a nethama to much of the left. | |
| First, the organizers hoped to refute charges that the desire to ban prostitution implies hostility toward prostitutes. | |
| And then they were gonna try to explain why, at a time when transgender rights are ascendant, radical feminazis insist on regarding transgender women as men who should not be allowed to use women's facilities, like public restrooms or to participate in events organized exclusively for women. | |
| So the the fight here is that trans the feminazis do not want transgendered women anywhere near them. | |
| Um that's entirely the prerogative to to think that. | |
| I mean, I don't think any transgender person is gonna argue that they aren't naturally one hundred the person that they are aspiring to be. | |
| But wait a minute. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| If you if you are a man and become a woman, and the feminazis then don't want you, the new woman in their restroom. | |
| Why not? | |
| You've become a woman, you're a transgender what why why I mean what's the problem? | |
| Well, I mean, are you trying to use the same toilet? | |
| I I don't I don't get the problem. | |
| I mean, i in a women's c case, uh most everything's stalled, so it's not like you're standing up in the urinal next to somebody. | |
| Um, you know, they bring up uh it is who I think John you were speaking about, but they do bring up points about uh there's been violence against women in said restrooms by transgendered women, but y it has been found also that these women are transvestites. | |
| There's a whole big difference here, which there's another point I want to make after this. | |
| But they um they they're entire titled to the you're you're talking to a virgin here on all that what's what is You're doing fine. | |
| Yeah, what transgender transvestite difference? | |
| What is it, please? | |
| Transvestite is somebody who likes to put on the clothing of somebody else and role play and act out. | |
| Oh usually in a sexual thing. | |
| This is the main point I want to get to, which is not exactly what the TERFs. | |
| I agree the Turf have a right to say whatever they want, but they're never going to accept you know a transgender person as the the gender they choose to be. | |
| My objection really overall is to be lumped into the GLBT and now the GLBTQ, because all of the letters, with the exception of transgender people, transgender people are very dangerous, and and the reason why. | |
| Wait a second. | |
| I'm glad you called. | |
| Now wait a minute, Nash, I'm really glad you called it because I have been one I have been waiting for this. | |
| I have been waiting for the the the I I've been what why is it assumed that transgenders have any in common with homosexuals? | |
| Nothing. | |
| Most pe most transgender I want I don't want to speak for anybody, but a lot of us feel that we are straight. | |
| We've always identified with wanting to be with somebody, but are you know, we're different for it from our bodies. | |
| But so I mean, it has nothing to do with the behavior. | |
| I've never wanted to put my underwear on my head and write a phone. | |
| No, no, I understand that, but I've I've been wondering why for political purposes, you know, gay, lesbian, transgender are lumped into the same uh classification when I've never associated homosexuality with transgenders. | |
| It's convenience from from I think the left. | |
| And it's also um, you know, there are a lot of people who simply don't understand the definition or the difference between them. | |
| So they automatically lump us in because they think it's a sexual perversion or a sexuality. | |
| You have to understand that. | |
| I mean, you yeah, you you have to understand a lot of people ignorant about this. | |
| Of course. | |
| And it takes time. | |
| It absolutely takes time. | |
| I'm patient with people. | |
| Um, you know, I mean, I think people have to have to lighten up. | |
| Everybody's got to lighten up, and once your own yard is clear and your trash is taken out, then worry about somebody else's. | |
| But as long as you're not hurting kids or pets or anything, you you and I are on the inside here, but we need to we need to you you keep throwing about this term uh this TERFs. | |
| And uh people need to know what that is. | |
| Oh, you know what? | |
| And I'm not sitting in front of my computer. | |
| I can't remember exactly what they're doing. | |
| I'll just trans-exclusionary radical feminist. | |
| It's T T E R F trans That is correct. | |
| Exclusion, thank you. | |
| Trans-exclusionary radical feminist. | |
| It's not T-U-R-F, and it has nothing to do with uh Yeah. | |
| So it gets it it's weird. | |
| I mean, you you cannot expect people to see the the acronym TERF and then be told, yeah, it's trans-exclusionary radical feminist. | |
| Meaning they're radical feminizes that want nothing to do with trannies. | |
| And they have a point. | |
| They they have a point because uh to uh they look at what we do, uh especially say from a trans woman aspect, that we are bolstering the male patriarchal society view of women, and therefore, you know, we run off on our and the other thing, which is absolutely consuming. | |
| See, this is the root of it. | |
| I know folks, I know you're wondering what the hell is happening to this show. | |
| It's Wednesday about it. | |
| But see, you're feminism is liberalism, and you're swerved into something what you have the the the radical feminazis think that the trannies are bolstering the patriarchal male view of society. | |
| Uh if if they become men, if they transgender to men, they do not date it. | |
| All of our you know, exclusionary benefits of having been men, and that that will you know, fall you know, follow you over if you change over. | |
| And I can tell you that's not the case for any of us. | |
| We have our own completely separate set of unique circumstances to deal with. | |
| Um, you know, and all we want to do is just be left alone. | |
| You know, if you can take somebody out walking down the street because of their, you know, by their sexual preference. | |
| You know, by what they're doing. | |
| Wait a second. | |
| That's completely different from what we want. | |
| Nash, time out. | |
| Snerdley just said, how does this when a woman transgenders to a man, you don't understand how that would tick off to feminazis? | |
| You don't. | |
| Okay, here's here's a woman. | |
| A what presumed to be a woman, feminist, whatever, gives it up. | |
| Who are the enemies of the radical feminazis? | |
| Patriarchal society led by men, obviously. | |
| A woman becoming a man is a sellout to the radical feminazis. | |
| That's one less vagina out there for every time it happens. | |
| I'm trying to get through. | |
| Do you not get that? | |
| No matter how you I didn't no, I didn't see the movie. | |
| I didn't see any movie about this. | |
| I just don't, I'm I'm simply reacting to what's here in this story that's in the New Yorker, eight pages long. | |
| It's about radical. | |
| This program has been devoted to try to open people's eyes about radical feminism as it exists, who they are, what they're trying to accomplish. | |
| The very idea, a that the that transgenders get lumped in with gay people ticks everybody off the set ticks off the transgenders because they're not gay. | |
| The second thing is militant feminists do not dig other women transgendering to men. | |
| Men are the enemy. | |
| Men men are the problem. | |
| Men to radical feminazis. | |
| And so it's that that's why there's this lack of acceptance, and there's a war going on between these two groups. | |
| We're talking about Democrat voters here for the most part, folks, to keep that in mind. | |
| Folks, I've told you from the from the get go, this program knows no boundaries. | |
| We cover all religions, we do all three or four sexes, uh, all politicals, and we cover it all. | |
| They hit everything. | |
| You never know what's going to happen. | |
| And where else are you gonna get? | |
| Where else you where else are you gonna get uh serious intellectual examination of the massive war going on between radical feminizes and transgenders? | |
| Where else are you even going to hear about it? | |
| Who else is even going to explain it to you? | |
| And where else are we gonna get a call about it? | |
| Just another thing the media avoid. | |
| You haven't heard the media talking about this war, have you? | |
| That's what I mean. | |
| It's cutting edge of societal evolution stuff. | |
| Okay. | |
| Dave in Gurney, Illinois. | |
| Great to have you on the EIB network. | |
| Hi. | |
| Rush? | |
| Yeah, Dave. | |
| Yeah, I'm sorry, you cut out. | |
| I didn't I didn't hear you. | |
| Hey, this goes back to the uh the story that you had about the uh young people that do not uh understand the concept of uh freedom of speech because they're so young. | |
| They're not intellectually developed yet to be able or to be granted full access to the First Amendment. | |
| That's what the guy is basically saying. | |
| I I would say, does that explain the voting block uh of young people that voted for Barack Obama then? | |
| Because uh if they if they don't understand the concept of freedom of speech, then that would explain why they voted for Barack. | |
| But look, I don't I don't I don't mean to split hairs here, but but I I do like to be precise, and I I understand that this guy did not say they don't understand it. | |
| He said they're not capable of it. | |
| And he what he's saying is they haven't earned the right to have free speech because they're not mature and smart enough to know how to use the First Amendment in free speech. | |
| So here, and he's a he's a major Democrat. | |
| He's on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. | |
| He's a former advisor to Nancy Pelosi. | |
| So the point here is how do people think? | |
| What is it that animates? | |
| So here you have a stuffed shirt. | |
| Arrogant, condescending. | |
| Twerp, who actually believes that the state or the administration of a university or somebody should actually establish speech codes, | |
| Making sure that only what they want said is said because college students do not have the age, the experience, the maturity to know what they should and shouldn't say. | |
| This is classic education. | |
| It's no different, these people think this about the population at large anyway, in practically every aspect of life. | |
| You don't know how to make the right decision. | |
| You need us doing it for you. | |
| You don't know the right car to drive. | |
| You don't know the right foods to eat. | |
| You need Michelle Obama designing your menu. | |
| You do not know where to live. | |
| You do not know how to behave and save the planet. | |
| You'll destroy it and promote global warming unless we restrict you. | |
| You do not know the safe places to go and do things because you're not capable. | |
| This is the this is the entire attitude of the left, particularly people in power in the left, over everybody. | |
| They assume you're an idiot. | |
| It's no different that these are the same people. | |
| When the Berlin Wall fell that said, well, now wait a minute. | |
| These people, freedom is not for everybody, you know, and it's really not for them. | |
| They have lived under totalitarianism for so long, they don't know what to do with their freedom. | |
| My only point is it's not their right to parcel out freedom. | |
| It's not their right to determine who has what rights and who doesn't. | |
| That was the express point of the founding of this country, that our rights do not come from arrogant, condescending liberals. | |
| It's not that that they will do it wrong or what they just they're not smart enough. | |
| They're smart enough to use legalized dope. | |
| They're smart enough to cross at age eight from Nicaragua all the way to California. | |
| They're smart enough to go get abortions at 12. | |
| They're smart enough to use freedom, smart enough to vote for Obama, but they're smart, not smart enough to know what to say and when not to say what. | |
| These people telling you are hideous. | |
| Hey, you know, why some people doubt me, you know, I I will I will never know after 26 years, but people still do. | |
| Rush Limbaugh always taking the path of the most resistance. | |
| Each day. | |
| That's it for today. | |
| Thanks for being with us, my friends. | |
| Back at it tomorrow. |
