Time Text
It is the fastest three hours in media.
It's unbelievable how fast they go by.
But they do.
Here we are already starting the third big busy broadcast hour hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh, and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where here is.
And this is the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
As an institute, there are students, but there are no degrees, there are no graduations because the learning never stops.
800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program, and yes, I'm going to get to the IRS business here in just a second.
Because as everybody knew, it has been confirmed that Lois Learner's emails are just fine.
They weren't destroyed, they weren't lost, and anybody with a modicum of understanding of computer backup technology combined with the federal requirements on federal systems would know that we were being lied to left and right.
And Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch was having conversation last Friday with the regime official who admitted it that Lois Learner's emails are fine, that all that was a stalling technique designed to let the emotion evaporate from the story.
But before I get to that, I have told you often that I understand liberals better than they do.
But there's a subset of liberals that there are even at times I am surprised.
That would be the Feminazis.
A group of college students have invented a nail polish that changes color if it comes into contact with date rape drugs.
Now, if you are a young college co-ed, or if you're a mother or father of a young college co-I want you to listen to this story and tell me if this product interests you.
it's a special nail polish that you you Well, you if you order an adult beverage, right?
More importantly, if somebody gives you an adult beverage, you surreptitiously, you very secretly stick a finger in your adult beverage so that you expose your fingernail polish to it.
And if the polish reacts in a certain way, then you know the date rape drug or aid date rape drug has been put into your adult beverage.
The feminazis are fit to be tied over this.
The feminazis are angry about this.
Again, a group of college students have invented a nail polish that changes color if it comes into contact with date rape drugs.
Many see it's a useful invention because it might help women protect themselves, but some say that anything that might help women protect themselves is actually offensive to women because that promotes rape culture, and that's what the Feminazis are saying.
There's an article in Think Progress, and it says this.
Women are already expected to work hard to prevent themselves from becoming the victims of sexual assault.
Now remembering to put on anti-rape nail polish and discreetly slip a finger into each adult beverage might be added to that ever-growing checklist of things women have to do to prevent being raped.
And the feminazis say that this actually reinforces a pervasive rape culture in our society.
And even some feminazis were outright angry at the invention.
One of them is Rebecca Nagel.
She's a Co-director of an activist group called Force Upsetting Rape Culture.
She said, I don't want to freaking test my drink when I'm at the bar.
That's not the world I want to live in.
The nail polish is an invention of undercover colors, which calls itself the first fashion company empowering women to prevent sexual assault.
Now I have to admit here, folks, the Feminazi response to this product is irrational.
And it's deceitful.
It's a product.
Some women are going to buy it, some women aren't.
Big deal.
How in the world does this promote rape culture?
That's the convoluted thinking.
Look, I I can probably explain it, but it doesn't mean that I agree with it or understand it.
Everything, here's the way the feminazis look at this.
Every step a woman must take to protect herself from unwanted sexual assault is just evidence that there's nothing that can be done to stop it.
And therefore, if nothing is going to be done to stop it, in other words, if we're not going to come up with ways to target the rapist beforehand, then all we're doing is promoting the rape culture by putting the burden on the woman.
There was a story, seems like last week, but it had to be longer than longer ago than that.
Where maybe it was Stephen A. Smith.
Somebody said that, and maybe it was a woman who said, well, you know, women have to realize that certain ways they dress can be provocative and inviting, you know.
And remember, the feminazis went baddie over that.
The sad thing is, and that's not sad, the reality is that boys chase girls.
I mean, there's nothing the feminazis are ever going to be able to do about that.
They call it sexual objectification, demeaning, not taking women seriously, but it's just the way of the world.
Boys chase girls.
They always have.
A great line in a song, a boy chases a girl until she catches him.
I've always loved that line.
And yeah, some of the guys chasing the girls are not chivalrous, and they're not moral, and they're not nice.
In fact, they are guys that commit sex crimes.
And I don't know what that's always been the case, too.
And the fact that some women have come up with a nail polish product that can identify an adult beverage laced with the date rape drug offends the feminizes by claiming that it promotes a rape culture.
Who put these nut jobs in charge of new products anyway?
How come when a new product comes out, somebody has to go to the feminazis to find out what they think about it?
Why the hell does anybody care what the feminazis think?
If you don't like it, don't buy it.
It's that simple.
If you think that a product, nail polish, that changes color when it comes in contact with an adult beverage, spiked with a date rape drug, promotes a rape culture...
Fine, don't buy the product, but stop preaching nonsense to people.
The thing is, our government's popular, our universities, governments, schools are populated with people that think this way that have this kind of mindset.
I mean, this this feminazi reaction, really to me, this is the left exposed, raw, and unfiltered.
Because in the end they insist on the right to tell everybody to shut up and sit down.
This is why, by the way, I created the word feminazi.
I mean, well, how else would you describe these people?
So if you're a mother and your daughter has just gone away to school, I don't know, high school, whatever, you worry about this.
And if your daughter could get a nail polish that could warn her that an adult beverage or any other drink that she's been offered has been spiked with a date rape drug.
Are you gonna get mad about it?
Tell her not to use it and think this only helping the rapists.
I don't I don't uh I literally don't get it.
I I I know that Feminazis and logic are strangers anyway, but this may take the cake.
I have to take a brief time out.
My friends will come back and we'll do the uh audio sound bites involving the IRS and the regime apparently inadvertently admitting that Lois Learner's emails are just fine.
All right, here we are.
See, yesterday afternoon, Monday afternoon, this is uh the real story with Gretchen Carlson.
Shannon Bream was filling in talking with uh judicial watch president Tom Fitton.
And Shannon Bream said, Tom, tell us what you found out, and were you surprised to now hear somebody with the agency saying these emails may never have been missing at all.
The Department of Justice attorney told a judicial watch attorney on Friday that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington.
They say it would be too hard to go get Lois Learner's emails from that backup system.
So everything we've been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing emails of Lois Lerner, other IRS officials, other officials in the Obama administration, it's all been a pack of malarkey.
There's no such thing as Lois Learner's missing emails.
It's all been a big lie.
They've been lying to the courts, the American people, and to Congress.
It's uh really outrageous.
It is it's a jaw-dropping revelation because the regime has been lying to the American people, but the courts, they have been lying to all of these judges.
Some of these judges are pretty strict law and order guys.
This is going to be interesting to see how this shakes out.
And I know what they were doing.
They're lying about this to let the emotion evaporate.
They're lying about this to let everybody stop caring about it.
People would burn out on their emotion, and now all of a sudden, guess what?
We've got the emails.
It's just it'd be so hard to go get them.
I mean, that backup, whoa.
Backup's got everything from the government on it.
We know they're there, but but that's not the point.
The point is they were specific in their lies.
They were specific.
Let's go back and listen.
This is John Coskinen back on June 20th.
He's the commissioner of the IRS.
And this is at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing.
The actual hard drive after it was determined that it was dysfunctional and that with experts, no emails could be retrieved, was recycled and destroyed in the normal process.
This was so was it physically destroyed?
Uh, that's my understanding.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
That was a full-fledged lie.
The the the emails are backed up.
But look at how specific the lie was.
The these lies were told to explain why those emails were gone.
These lies were told to tell everybody that it would be impossible to get them.
And even when questions of system-wide backups were brought-well, oh no, uh, some of these emails are private addresses and uh not part of the government uh system and prof notes and uh any number of was all lies.
And I get Tom Fit.
I'd say these guys at Judicial Watch are uh are they these guys don't stop.
They just keep digging.
And they hit pay dirt.
And here what Fitton is saying that a Department of Justice, a DOJ attorney, told the judicial watch attorney on Friday that everything's backed up.
That those emails are still there, be very hard to get them.
But the lies that Coskin and everybody told were specific as to why They couldn't retrieve them.
To the phones we return to Sherman, Maine.
This is Bill.
Glad you called, sir.
It's nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hey, it's an honor for me too, Rush.
Uh first time caller, uh Major Ditto's.
Thank you.
I I hate to go backwards on your storyline, but uh back to the Michael Brown shooting.
You know I'm sure every law enforcement officer in the country, when that when that first came out was just cringing, because part of our duties in law enforcement is to be able to discern, you know, rather quickly in the situation.
And uh, you know, what it took very little discernment to realize that the co uh strong arm robbery uh acquaintance of Michael Brown was clearly uh making up a huge fabrication and and the fact that the media was so r willing to run with it.
And my comment is this I mean uh I've been uh use of force instructor for several years and uh been waiting and waiting for a law enforcement officer uh Wait, wait, wait, did you say that the the strong arm robbery was made up?
No, what I'm saying was the media um uh uh what was that part wasn't made up.
I'm saying that the uh the co-defendant, the person that was with Michael Brown, uh clearly made up a fabrication of regarding the shooting.
Oh, oh, okay.
What I'm getting at is one one one thing about one-on-one law enforcement, one thing criminals all have in common, uh drug dealers, uh strong arm robbers, all those folks have one thing in common.
They're all pathological liars.
Right.
And if you're in the law enforcement, you're well aware of that, and and when you're dealing with people, obviously it's your responsibility to uh discern situations and defend them.
See, see you you've got it all wrong.
You got it all wrong because in America in 2014 it's a cops that lie.
It's the cops that make things up, it's a cops that plant evidence, and the victims are always innocent angels telling the truth about being victimized and biased and and and and uh uh treated as victims of racism.
The world is definitely upside down, Rush, uh I'm telling you.
And uh well, one thing you're trained in law enforcement uh as a use of force instructor is action beats reaction.
Now I wasn't there when that officer got in that confrontation, but one thing was clear to me when I first heard the story that this officer just executed some poor black boy going to college with his hands up and uh surrendering, that instantly knew that was a complete lie.
Uh before I even got all the facts, because that doesn't make it it lacks common sense.
Even a dirty law enforcement officer wouldn't just go execute somebody.
And and you know, and I would concede that, yeah, well uh pretty much less than one percent would be a dirty.
Well, especially a cop that doesn't have a partner.
There's no thin blue line to stand behind the guy in a situation like that.
Plus you've got witnesses on the street that you you have to figure as a cop are gonna be there, whether you know they're there or not.
Well, my point in and in calling today was that action beats reaction.
We train our new law enforcement officers how to be on heightened alert, because the fact of the matter is uh a suspect can kill a law enforcement officer at any time because action beats reaction.
It's a simple, it's a simple uh it's a law of physics, that's just the way it is.
So an officer has to have an enheightened aware of his thrass.
Well, you know, one of the problems here, one of the problems, Bill, is that most people, most there are a lot of exceptions, but most people respect the cops.
Most people, when they're pulled over, do everything the cop tells them to do.
So most people do not encounter an abusive cop or a cop that plants evidence, or a cop that that that's that's a very rare occurrence.
Most people uh sometimes cops get it wrong on moving traffic violations, this kind of thing.
But most people their their own personal experience is one of obeying the cops.
And I think most people who are not politically active and don't think of politics when they hear a story like this, think that everybody else probably treats cops with respect too.
And therefore, when they hear that the when they hear the media who they also believe, sadly, say that you had a runaway cop here who shot an innocent kid, they probably think the kid was cooperating with the cop, just like they do.
I think it's it's uh it's a factor, but there's a larger point here, and I get your point, your action bits reaction, but there's a larger point here.
And it is we have an entire media apparatus that is making it abundantly clear that they are more than willing to create a total lie out of a circumstance like this.
Or they're more than willing to go along with one.
They're more than willing to help establish that something happened that didn't happen.
Now, why?
And there is where politics enters the equation.
I really think the fact that uh I think it's profound.
I I I think it's and it isn't anything new, but I think if you just stop and think about it in the most base terms, in this circumstance, you have media, not all, but clearly a majority, who are hoping this story turns out a certain way, and as such will do everything they can before the facts are known to shape public opinion into believing it happened the way they wanted it to happen.
Now, why?
Who benefits when a lie like this ends up being accepted?
Ladies and gentlemen, let me clarify something.
When I told this last caller that I think most people are respectful of cops when a cop stops them, they obey the cop, they yes, sir, no, sir, they give them the driver's license, whatever the occasion is, they're cooperative.
And my point was because among that group of people who are cooperative, I do think that that people who are not politically oriented or sensitive or whatever will think,
tend to think that most everybody is cooperative with the cops in in something like a jaywalking thing or uh uh a moving violation, running a stop sign or red light or speeding or whatever.
And so they are likely to assume that in the case of the gentle giant, he was probably cooperative too, and might be prone to believe a myth that we have a rogue white cop who went in a shooting spree because he was a racist.
I know it sounds kind of convoluted.
I know that there's an entire generation.
I mean, look at the OJ jury.
The OJ jury basically said, hell with DNA, I don't care about any of this.
He's not guilty just to have you find out what it feels like.
Pure and simple.
Rap culture is oriented around hatred of the cops.
I understand that.
I'm not talking about people like that.
But because of rap culture, I I think those same people that I'm talking about do not know how automatically and as a matter of routine, certain young people hate the cops and taunt them and provoke them and test them and so forth.
I think being a cop's one of the most dangerous things in the world you can do today.
Because in our politically correct culture, as this myth making in St. Louis shows, the cop, by the time the media gets hold of this, if it fits their template, the cop's guilty.
Before the facts are in, the cop's going to be convicted.
And they're going to keep pounding this in the media, and if they do it long enough before the facts are revealed, the facts are not going to be enough to overturn public opinion that's been set in.
And that's the objective of the mythmakers.
Now here you have what what is actually a very uncommon occurrence.
But even that is a is a controversial Statement, because the mythmakers have succeeded in making a lot of people think that white cops shoot innocent black suspects all the time.
A lot of people think that's routine.
I'm telling you, it isn't.
That's one of the reasons why this was such big news.
But just stop and think of something now, just in a in a clinical way, if you can.
You have a circumstance such as that which happened in Ferguson, which in the immediate aftermath, no one honestly objectively can tell anybody else what happened.
You've got immediately two versions.
And I'm talking about the immediate after before we know of the strong arm robbery in the convenience store, before we know anything.
All we know is that original report and that original report had already set the table for guilty cop, innocent citizen.
Now why are there supposedly educated, intelligent, and supposedly responsible people, so willing to stir up an entire country with a lie.
And I am talking about leftists and the media, forget the Civil Rights Coalition because they, their actions can be explained.
But why in the world would the media willingly, knowingly, help to create a total fabrication of this event or any other.
Now, to you and me, this is routine.
They do it every day, and whatever the news story is.
I'm always focused here on the low information crowd in one way, because I think that it the answer to the question is all anybody needs to know about how things end up being news when there really isn't any news.
it It happens so much that we just now accept it as part of the landscape of our country that the media is going to lie about things.
It happens so much that it's expected and it's factored in as we try to figure out what really happened somewhere.
And yet, taken by itself independently, it is simply outrageous that it happens.
But because it's gone on for so long, and it's so routine, particularly in straight-up forward politics, it's just assumed to be part of the landscape.
It's part of the stack deck that everybody else happens to be up against.
I find it literally profound.
Now, also last week, five days ago, six days ago on this program, in the midst of opining about Ferguson, one of the things that I predicted to you is that no matter the day-to-day discovery progress,
progression of no matter this story is going to have legs all the way through the November elections, because that's its value.
The story has taken on, and maybe from the beginning it always was a political objective.
It was an event that was immediately hijacked by political elements in the media, the Democrat Party, to turn out black vote in November in the midterm elections.
And as such, and I was joking about the news media opening bureaus in Ferguson, not in St. Louis, but in Ferguson, to keep hope alive, to keep the story alive.
Well, let's return to the audio sound bites.
Again, last night on CNN situation room.
What would happen if I stopped playing CNN sound bites, Mr. Snerdley?
Would they lose?
I think they would too.
I think they but I need something to bounce off here.
And it's not going to be PMS NBC.
I've just bowed that.
And I was just thinking, if I stop playing CNN sound bites, do you know that Time Warner just announced they're going to have to lay off what did I see?
It's tens of thousands of people.
I think it's tens of thousands.
Yeah, I mean, and they're going to be people at CNN let go and all it's company wide.
Uh it's it's it's bad.
There's nobody watching.
And I just wonder if I stop playing sound bites if like the MSNBC effectively ended them.
I mean, they have no ratings.
They still get written about because what said that network is just literally insane.
But anyway, it's the last night Wolf Blitzer is speaking with the board member, the NAALCP, John Gaskin, about the General Giants'funeral.
Blitzer said, now you were at the funeral, and there was a call for change.
Specifically, Mr. Gaskin, what change do you hope to see?
The message that we have been trying to send really across the country is there's a Ferguson near everybody.
There are Michael Browns all over the country.
They just haven't been publicized.
And so we've got to take a stand, which people have begun to do, and there's got to be a change.
The NAACP, along with other coalitions here on the ground, have launched massive voter registration, which we continue, uh, which we want to make sure that stays persistent all the way up until the November midterm election.
There it is.
There it is!
Yes, sir, rebob, you can thank me at L Rushbow at EIB.com.
We've got to tell everybody there's a Ferguson near everybody.
There are Michael Browns all over the country.
That's the myth, you see.
Even after the gentle giant has been laid to rest.
It's on the road to find the next one.
But they're gonna have to create the next one because there isn't another one.
Where is it?
We have to throw out black on black crime in Chicago in Detroit.
Can't count that.
Where is it?
If there's a Michael Brown, uh if there are Michael Browns all over the country, where's the where are the drive-bys gonna land next?
Tell me, what's the story?
The only other comparable story we have is Salt Lake City, but it's reversed.
It's a white victim and an other than white cop.
Well, no, but that's already been publicized.
The chokehold cop, that's already been.
No, that's already been publicized.
Where is the next Michael?
He said they're Michael Brown's all over the country.
This had been publicized.
Well, where?
Doesn't the NAA LCP have a duty to go to the next one?
What did L. Sharpen go back to New York for?
Why didn't he go on to the next town where the next Michael Brown case is?
Why'd Reverend Sharp to go back to New York?
He can do that MSNB show, C show from anywhere.
Nobody watches it.
They can do it from anywhere.
No, no, no.
I'm not being a smart ass here.
Where is the next Michael Brown?
Where why didn't they go there if they're everywhere?
There's got to be change.
Voter registration?
What the hell's that got to do with anything here?
What does a massive voter registration drive have to do with the funeral of the gentle giant?
Is the family of the gentle giant, are they going to be made to feel better?
Because there's a voter registration drive?
Will the family of the gentle giant think maybe that a voter registration drive will give this incident some deeper Meaning, what is it about?
And then, and then we are gonna continue all the way up until the November midterm elections.
Exactly because the Democrat Party's leaders have hijacked this family's tragedy for their own political gain.
That's what.
And that happened probably at some hour on the first day of this everyday occurrence.
Be back after.
Hey, another question about this voter registration drive, folks.
What good is it gonna do if all this keeps happening with the same elected Democrats in office?
What good is electing more of them gonna do?
What's the point?
Voter registration drive, you've been doing it for 50 years, have been electing the same people when they get the same problems.
What's gonna be different?
Zip zero nodding.
Christine in Nashville.
I've got about a minute, but I wanted to get to you.
Hi.
Hi, Ross.
It is such a pleasure and an honor.
I'm in Cookville, which is about an hour from Nashville.
Um, I have a theory on why the Feminazis don't like the date rate now, college.
Okay, tell me.
Okay, I think that the Feminazis believe that women who are in college do not need a man to depend on a man to buy them a drink, and they should be self-sufficient and not just blindly chopping some man.
They can do it on their own.
Well, okay, I can I I I can see that.
I I uh consider feminazis.
I don't agree with it.
I'm just a student of the Doctor of Democracy.
Right, but it doesn't have to be in about what if you have a date.
What do you have a date and you and you uh uh yeah, but if you go to dinner and and you have to go to the powder room and somebody slips something in your drink, what are the there's there's sometimes I don't know, the I just I uh intellectually do not understand the feminists, the militant feminists uh opposition with this, but this idea that that they shouldn't accept any adult beverages from men.
Yeah, I get that.
I really do.
This shouldn't don't open a door, don't accept that, don't accept compliments on your appearance, that's sexualism, that's uh objectification, and all that.
And you know, there one way around this is to not drink.
But even then, somebody can slip your Mickey and a coke, who knows.
All right, yippee, yippee!
Ladies and gentlemen, Obamacare!
Obamacare will now pay for gender reassignment surgery.
Obamacare will now pay for aadictimies.
